Sorry vampires, I have a different vision about you. Well in fact I didn't see OAVs because I hate Naga (really) and I didn't read novels (but that's because I am lazy and I don't want to read again in English). So forgive me.

Sorry about golden dragons too, I wasn't careful enough when I was writing that. I thought that if both Filia and Milgazia are blonde, so every golden dragon has gold hair. My mistake.

Xellos don't show up in this chapter but he will. I'm his big fan so he simply has to be here. And also settings are quite good for him, don't you think?

About pairings… I hope you will enjoy this chapter ;P

Chapter 3

What is she up to?

Amelia really liked to help Filia but in fact she couldn't. After she had discovered that the client of the dragon is Milgazia, she knew that nothing would happen to her friend. But, anyway, she followed her. When they finally reached the house, the princess sat on the roof on the nearest house, from where she had an excellent view to the room where Filia and Milgazia were talking. She was pleased when she saw her predictions were right. Milgazia only liked to talk to Filia and they looked like they were enjoying themselves. Amelia lay down and started to sing a song. Then she realized she got awful short skirt. She quickly stood up. She saw Filia leaving Milgazia's house. Fine, now Amelia will join her. She was just about to make a perfect landing before the dragon when someone suddenly grabbed her. She turned around and saw…

"Mister Zelgadis!"

"Amelia!"

But chimera didn't look the same enthusiastic. He was looking at Amelia with a mix of shock and anger.

"What are you doing here Amelia!" he shouted "In this compromise clothes! You are looking like a… Does your father know about it? Somebody could treat you like a cheap slut!"

"That's the point mister…"

"AMELIA! I don't believe! You want to entertain yourself by selling your… Where is your dignity, princess! Where is your strong belief in justice?"

"Zelgadis, please…"

But he didn't let her finish. He pulled her from the roof and started to walk down the street, in different direction than Filia was.

"Sorry Amelia, but somebody must do it! I can't watch your moral fall. Please think about your father! About your country! I know you became full blood woman…" he blushed "But princess can't… Any woman can't behave like that! That's disgusting! I couldn't believe! I left you for only couple of years and you… It's not fun Amelia! I know that many queens were playing like that when they had got bored (author's note: queen Margot ;P) but you are shrine maiden and also you are a warrior of justice!"

They reached Zelgadis's inn. Amelia was forced to came upstairs into his room. He made her sat near the table and throw into her direction couple of books about great warriors and heroic adventures.

"Read it, Amelia and remind yourself what is the most important thing! I can tell you it is not sex, so…"

At first princess was totally stunned, but then she began to laugh. Her voice was so innocent and vital that Zel interrupted his great speech and looked at her.

"Mister Zelgadis!" Amelia had tears in her eyes "Why are you thinking I am a prostitute?"

"Why?" he winked "You are dressed up like one. And also I saw you coming from a district which is famous from its brothels."

"You mean I am quite sexy in my outfit?"

"Well…" The chimera blushed "In fact… you… I can't say…"

"But I'd like to hear what the most important thing, besides sex is for you?" The princess was cheerfully looking at him

"Ee… At first, I didn't say that sex is important thing for me! And… Amelia… Please forgive me this impolite behaviour toward you. I was so stupid that I could thought that you are the one of "those" girls. My mistake, sorry, but this dress tricked me."

"Mister Zelgadis!" Amelia was still laughing "In fact you didn't make any mistake! Yes, I am working in that district now, I try to dress up like a prostitute, but my job is different. It was miss Lina who made me wore it."

"Lina? Wait Amelia, I don't understand."

"You see, we are spying the murderer!"

"The murderer!"

"Yes! He or she or whatever you want, is killing girls working in this business. One pimp hired miss Lina to find out this guy. And Lina hired us, me and Filia. Oh, it's good I found you, mister Zelgadis! You know that Jilias is getting married?"

"Wait a minute!" Zelgadis shook his head "You dress up like a… because you want to catch a murderer?"

"Yes! Will you help us, mister Zelgadis?"

"With what? You want me to wear those dresses and behave like a slut? No, I refuse! You made me to wear a rabbit costume, to even be a woman, but now I'll be firm! Forget about it Amelia!"

"No" princess waved "You will be our bodyguard! You know, I and Filia don't want to make love with anybody. We are both still virgins" she blushed "and we want to… you know, after marriage."

"I understand you." Zelgadis nodded "And that's the right thing. So, I shall be your bodyguard…"

"When somebody will hire us, we will try to found out if he is a murderer or not and then we will make him sleep and you will help us."

"Isn't it to risky for you? And if the one who kills those girls is a pimp?"

"No." Amelia shook her head "For what reason? It is his business and he is the one who suffer the most because of it."

"Yes, maybe you are right. But I don't understand people like that. Why does somebody make his life by selling her or someone else body?"

"Because of money and, I suppose sometimes for fun too. Lina also sells her service for money and fun."

"Yes, but Lina's service is something a bit different."

Amelia yawned and looked around.

"I am fed up with work today. I want some sleep. Wouldn't you mind if I sleep tonight in your room?"

"Well, of course, but not in those clothes."

"Should I get them down?"

"NO!" Zelgadis looked really terrified "I mean, maybe I will give you my clothes. You shouldn't be seen in that dress in my room. Somebody could think that I like facilities like that!"

"As far as I know you, you don't mind what somebody think about you."

"Well, in that case I DO!" He looked at her and blushed "When we met for the first time, you was just a little brat. And know you are a real woman."

"Oh…" Amelia blushed. She didn't know what to say.

Zelgadis gave her his own clothes and went out of the room. He rested his head on the wall. Damn it, she was so beautiful! Even more pretty than few years before. And also, he shivered, she was sexy. He couldn't let anybody touch her. Anybody, besides him.

Well, talking about Lina (because now is the time to talk about her), she dressed up like Filia and Amelia, she dyed her hair on light blue but didn't go to the street. She had other reason why she had accepted this job, besides delicious meal. The reason was the man.

Goury was sitting in the inn. He was waiting for the meal he had ordered. Several guests were also eating and chatting, but nobody looked interesting. It was five days now since Goury had finished his previous job. It was tedious task, just to guard one really rich guy. The only advantage was a good salary. Now Goury was on his way to find Lina. She had an excellent skill in finding interesting work. And also, he missed her.

The door opened and somebody went in. Goury didn't even try to look at new guest. Whistles and groans of approbate were coming through all places in the inn (really unfortunate sentence, doesn't it?). Everybody was praising a woman who had just entered.

"Wow, what a girl!"

"What a nice dress!"

"What nice breasts!"

"Come here, my little! I am so lonely tonight!"

"I am lonelier than you! Hey, honey, I've got a lot of money!"

"Don't trust him, my lady! He has just loose everything!"

"Wha… OH MY FUCKING GOD! What my wife will tell about it?"

Goury didn't even lift his head; he thought that a woman already had found her client. But she ignored other guys and went directly to a table where our swordsman was sitting.

"Hello!" she greeted him in seduction in her voice.

"Hello." Goury glanced at her.

"Can I join you?" and without the invitation she sat near him. "I think you are lonely, don't you?"

"Yes, I am." Goury simply had to agree. Without Lina he was just a half of himself.

"Well, gods are nice to you today." She edged her seat to him. "They send me to cheer you up!"

He looked at her with surprise. He didn't understand why gods would be nice and sent someone to him.

"So" the girl was looking at him from middle- close eyes "What do you want me to do?"

"Well, I think nothing."

"Nothing!" she was taken-aback that she was so easily rejected. "Such handsome man needs someone at night! Please, tell me, I am not your type?"

"Hmm, no please don't think like that… you are beautiful, really, believe me, but… the problem is… yes, you are not in my type. Sorry."

"So what is your type?"

"Well" Goury started to wonder "I think it is flat-chested girl, redheaded and always after something."

"You are making fun of me?" her voice sounds angryly.

"No, I think that's the girl I really like! Yes, I prefer women with little breasts rather than big. Yours is simply too big. Small is beautiful!"

"Goury, you pervert idiot!" Lina said with her normal voice "How dare you called me flat-chested!"

"Lina!"

"FIREBALL!"

After several minutes Goury woke up in the inn's bedroom. Lina was dressing up in her normal clothes. Her hairs were still blue. Goury lifted himself and sat on the bed.

"Lina!" he shouted. He was so glad he finally met her.

"Hello Goury, you jellyfish brain!" she turned to him and changed her hair into original red. "Tell me why I am your toy gun for people who you do not whish to talk to?"

"Toy gun?" Goury winked. Lina didn't change at all. She was still such innocent, small girl who didn't understand that behind some people's actions can be love.

"I am happy I have found you" he eventually spoke "But tell me Lina, why did you wear that stupid clothes? And why you didn't tell me at first who you are and acted so strangely?"

"Well, even if I told you, you would not understand me. Just do what I will tell you to do. Enough to say, I am looking for a murderer who kills prostitutes. When I will finally catch him, I will take you for a huge dinner rich of local specials, especially flachki!"

"Ok Lina! But Do I have to also be dressed up as a prostitute?"

"No, you jellyfish brain!

"Good. Because you are quite a keen of dressing me like a woman."

"No, you will protect us. Now go to sleep. We are meeting with Amelia and Filia tomorrow morning. I'm interesting what did they found. And if they had many clients." She laughed.
