Chapter 2

Lina finally woke up and widely yawned. She stretched her petite body and little smiled. Last night she had a beautiful dream. With this same smile she stood up and yawned again. Suddenly she turned around and cried.

"FIRE BALL!"

Large ball of flames shot between bushes. A moment later Lina heard low protest.

"Lina-san, something like this, isn't very pretty."

Lina stiffened and looked absolutely surprised. Slowly she laid her hand on her brow.

"Xellos." She whispered quietly.

"Yes Lina-san. It's me!" he said cheerfully and smiled at her.

"YOU IDIOTIC MORON! WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE DOING! I COULD KILL YOU!" presently she yelled at him. Her hands flew above her head.

"FIRE..."

Xellos didn't wait for another stroke and teleported behind her. His right hand embraced her slim waist and gloved forefinger of his other hand touched hers nose. Lina´s face turned crimson red, when he did this and her body couldn't move.

Her spell disappeared under this touch as like as her will. Her body grew torpid, when Xellos softly whisper to her ears.

"Calm down Lina-san. You are little nervous early in the morning. I don't want to hurt you." With this he let her go. One part of Lina was disappointment and another part of her breathed space in relief.

- What's going on? – She though to herself. – He drives me crazy. – Lina sat down on the ground and little sigh. She buried her head in her arms. Xellos watched her in confusion.

- Is she really so upset when she see me? –

"Are you fine, Lina-san or is something wrong?" he asked her. Lina raised her head and looked directly at him. She almost laughed.

"No Xellos," she replied and shook her head, "everything is all right. I'm happy to see you again." She finally smiled widely at him. When Xellos sat down beside her, she beat him to his head and said.

"But don't dare to scare me like this again."

"Yes Lina-san." Said Xellos with hurt look on his face. Lina started laugh.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Xellos is idiot and I have a very big trouble. – Ezra splutter as a wide cat and looked at Xellos and Lina from safe place between tree branches.

- Great, almighty and perfectly cruel Xellos was in love. General, priest and the most favourite one of Lord Beast master was in love with human witch. – She mentally sighed.

- And when I told him that he is an idiot, he didn't believe to me. He made a problem and I have to solve it now. It's really great. – Ezra looked at sky and silently grown. – I will return this to you Xellos, I promise.- With this, she returned to astral plane.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lina slowly walked by the Xellos side and she was thinking about his appeared. She and Xellos were in the middle of forest and together walked to small village at other side of forest.

"What's the matter, Lina-san?" Xellos asked her with interested voice. She looked at him by corner of the eye. Lina can saw his usual cheerful expression and something more in his now open eyes.

- I absolutely don't know, what I have thing about him. – She though before she answered.

"Nothing. Why?"

"Because you look little sad, Lina-san."

Now, he has her full attention.

- Could he find it out? – She mentally asked herself. – He can feel my emotions. And because of him, I'm in mess. – Lina was rather surprised, when she realized something.

- He doesn't look usually cheerful too. What's wrong with him? What's wrong with me? – Before she could say something, she was cut off by band of bandit.

"Hey, chick! It would be better for you and your friend, if you give up yours money and jewels. Do you understand?" said the tallest and the most stupid men of them.

Xellos inclined to her and happily whisper to her.

"I don't presuppose you need a help, do you, Lina-san?" For a moment, his feature was cheerful as usual. Exactly like hers. Lina evilly grin at bandit leader and lift her hands to air.

"DRAGON SLAVE!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ezra looked at Lina Inverse, her chin somewhere at her knees. She was in shock. She was watching to Lina, little interested how she will be able to defeat the bandits. But Lina´s score was awfully high.

"HOLY SHIT!" Ezra loudly yelled, when she appeared in astral plane.

"That little witch is frightening powerful. She had to kill Lord Shabranigdo and didn't get out of her breath. And in spite of it, Lord Beast master said me to kill her personally as if she spoke about Saturday's shopping." Ezra howled and then started to cry.

- It's not fair. It's really not fair. Why it must be always me, who pull Xellos from his trouble. –

"WHY THE HELL IT MUST BE ALWAYS ME?" she yelled again and started cry harder.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Lina-san, you are somewhat destructive, when you are angry. But, I think that is one of you good sides. Besides, you look very happy; if you can something shoot down."

"It's not true, Xellos!" defended Lina. She ate her four meals and now she argued with Xellos.

"I'm not destructive, only if someone started first. And," she rose her forefinger and add, "this don't count."

"I think, Lina-san that your reasons are quiet simple, but I understand your feeling." Xellos said quickly if he felt her anger was growing.

Both of them sat in small tavern. Lina was sleepy and kept her awake was only her argue with cheerful mazoku.

- Xellos, I don't know if I can say it to you, but I'm really glad that you are with me. For some reason, I feel as though I falling in love with you. It's crazy. I know you are only playing your games with me, but I really like you. – She though as she looked to his eyes. Lina was truly sleepy and her eyelids were heavy.

She laid her head on Xellos shoulder and widely yawned. She closed her eyes and satisfied purred. Xellos something told to her, but she didn't listen to him.

- I have only one wish Xellos. Please, stay with me for now. – With this she fell asleep. Xellos looked at her, deep sorrow in his amethyst eyes.

- I don't know, what happened tomorrow Lina, but I will try to protect you. – Xellos picked her hair behind her ear and embraced her body. He buried his nose to her hair and deeply inhaled her scent.

Xellos would sacrifice everything for her. Everything for one of hers smiles. On his face appeared sadly smile. He lifted her up in bridal style and walked with her to hers bedroom, where he softly laid her down.

Silently he stroked her hair and looked down at her.

- I was never been scare, until now. I'm scare that I will hurt you. I'm scare that I will lose you, but most of it I'm scare of love. I feel lost in your eyes. I can't kill you Lina. After so many years I can't kill one human. Isn't it funny?

I don't know what to do, Lina. At once I'm scare and happy. For the first time in my life I don't want to lose someone. I don't want to lose you, Lina-san. –
