Chapter 8
----
Amelia runs down the hall because she had heard noises coming from the Throne room. She hoped that nothing bad is about to happen, but considering the messes that they have met in the past who knew.
Amelia stopped in her tracks when she saw Lina, Gourry, Miguel, Sylphiel and Zelgadiss walking her way. "You guys what happen? I heard some noises."
"You won't believe it Amelia." Started Lina. "But Air Jay came back."
Amelia gasped when she heard the name of that outlaw. "Air Jay is back?"
"But relax, he ran away again." Assured Gourry.
"And….. And what about my sister?"
"Sister?" asked Miguel.
"Naga." Said Sylphiel. "Naga is Amelia's sister."
Miguel sweet dropped, he could not believe that Amelia and Naga are related. "Who would have guessed? They sure have different fashion senses, but the same chest size."
"She and Air Jay just stop by to send in their presents." Said Zel.
"With out causing messes?" asked Amelia in surprise.
"Actually they've caused some messes," Zel then picks up something from his pocket, giving to Amelia the necklace that Naga asked him to give to her. "And she asked me to give this to you."
Amelia took the necklace and opens it, when she saw it, she let out a tear and a soft smile.
"Amelia?" asked Zel, wondering why she is smiling and crying at the same time.
"Lets go to the party, the other are waiting, and Martina and her family are here."
----
Minutes later, Amelia and the other arrived to the royal living room, where the rest of the group is waiting for them.
"Mommy, Daddy!" Sylvia runs to her parents with her arms wide open and hugs them. "Merry Christmas!"
"Merry Christmas, sweaty!" replied Amelia with a smile.
"Merry Christmas kid." Replied Zelgadiss.
"What happened guys?" asked Filia, accompanied by little Val and Xellos holding his baby daughter Alice.
"Oh nothing Filia, every thing was just Gourry who felled down the ground." Lied Lina.
"No I didn't not……" Gourry was interrupted when Lina stepped on his foot. "Ouch!"
"Yeah, see? Gourry is sill suffering from the fall." Amelia joined in the lie because she and Lina knows that Filia and Xellos might get worry if they ever find out that Air Jay was here, so it is best not to trouble them with a panic such as this.
"Well then, can I have every ones attention?" called Xellos in a loud voice so that every one could hear him. After every one turn to look at Xellos and he begins to talk. "I would like to show you all something that I have taught my little baby girl Alice." Xellos the turns to his baby. "Come on sweaty, say the word that I taught you. It's a……it is a…… it is a……"
"Secret! Hi, hi, hi." Giggled little Alice and waving her finger around just the way her father used to do.
"AAAAH!" Screamed all the Slayers gang.
-----
"AAAAH!" Screamed the Lord of Nightmares.
-----
"AAAAH!" Screamed Zellas Metalium.
----
"AAAAH!" Screamed Naga, Kiko and Air Jay.
----
"AAAAH!" Screamed the remaining peaces of Shabrimingo.
-----
"AAAAH!" Screamed every one in Seilune.
----
"AAAAH!" Screamed every one else.
----
"Enough already!" yelled Miguel. "What is it with you people? The girl just said a little word, so why are you people acting like you saw a ghost?"
Sylphiel pointed a trembling finger at Alice. "She…… she said…….she said……it's a secret´!"
"And she acted like her father!" added Lina, still in shock.
"Ok, and so why……never mind, I think its best that I don't know." said Miguel.
"I'll say, you people acted like fools!" humped Xellos. "I just taught my daughter a little word, since she can not say papa´."
"XELLOS!" shouted Filia. "Don't you dare teach your namagomi way to Alice, you got that?"
Alice just giggled.
"I must say, hearing Alice saying that kind of freaks me out!" said Martina.
Lina turns to Martina. "So your back Martina? You are always late."
"Why must you always anoy me because of that."
"Because yes." Then Lina notices little Zoanna who is wearing a cape just like her father. "Say, what is it with Zoanna and that cape she is wearing?"
"Its cold out side, so I gave her a cape." Said Zangulos. "Besides I decided to train my little girl to become a good swordsman like her father."
"I think you mean swordswoman." Corrected Gourry who just appeared in the scene with his son Maia.
Zoanna blushed when she saw Maia again.
"Hi." Greeted Maia with a smile to Zoanna.
"H-h-hi." Zoanna managed to say even with all her shyness, and then she hides behind her father.
"Gourry! Would you mind telling your kid to stop flirting with my daughter!" complained Zangulos.
"Huh? But Maia only greeted Zoanna."
"Hey, are you calling me a liar?"
"Never mind him Gourry," said Zelgadiss, getting in the scene. "He's just trying to pick up a sword fight like always."
"What is flirting?" asked Maia.
"Do you want to know?" asked Xellos in a sing song voice, holding a mistletoe under Maia and Zoanna. Maia looked at the object that Xellos is holding with confused eyes, but Zoanna face is all red when she saw what Xellos is holding, because she knows what this means. "Now you don't want to break up the tradition, do you?" said Xellos with his usual smirks he had when he was a Mazoku.
"NO WAY!" shouted Lina and Martina, then pushed Xellos away from their kids, and making Xellos walk near Val and Sylvia.
Val and Sylvia blushed when Xellos mistletoe was just under them.
This of course made Zelgadiss angry. "XELLOS! You get away from those kids this instance!"
"Yeah uncle Xellos! We are not going to kiss just because of s dumb tradition and…..." Little Val was interrupted when Sylvia gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Val's face turns all red when Sylvia did all this.
Zelgadiss turn all white when he saw Sylvia do this.
But this was not what Xellos expected. "Actually, you two are supposed to kiss each other on the…..."
Zel immediately turns back to reality "SHUT UP XELLOS!" and punches Xellos right o the face.
"Can I have every ones attention please?" called Phill and every one turned to him. "I just want to say that it is already midnight! So Merry Christmas every one!"
"Merry Christmas!" every one cried.
"And now for the piece of résistance!" said Lina as she raised her hand and it stated to glow, and the Christmas tree lights started to glow as well but with different colours in ever 3 second.
"Uau Mom, that is great!" said Maia marvilised with the magical effect that his mother put.
"I'll say." Said Gourry in the same tone.
"Daddy, Daddy!" Called Sylvia caring a present for her father and giving to him. "Merry Christmas."
Zelgadiss smiled at his little angel and took the present. "Thanks Sylvia." When Zel open up the present he saw that the gift that Sylvia gave him was a little fluffy Bunny toy. "A Bunny?"
Sylvia nodded. "Yup. Aunt Lina said that you like bunnies very much, since you once dress up like one."
Zel's jaw falls down on the ground, and then he turns to Lina who was holding her laugh. Zel's eyes just keep on saying I'll kill you´, then he turns to Sylvia with a fake smile. "T-thanks, girl."
And the rest of the Christmas Party went on, with every one giving present to each other, and eating Christmas food, even playing some games.
And now it is time for Sylvia to open up the present that Naga and her team gave to her.
"I say, what is that from?" asked Phill.
"From Air Jay." Responded Zel.
"WHAT?" Phill almost freaked out.
And Xellos heard that and started to panic as well. "Air Jay is here?"
"Relax, he is way long gone." Assured Zel.
Xellos sighed in relieve. "Oh thank heavens... I can't believe I said that!"
"And Air jay, and you Aunt Naga and Kiko, came all this way to give you this." Zelgadiss whispered that part about Naga so that Phill could not listen."
"B-but why are you letting Sylvia receive a present from that outlaw?" asked Phill, still not believing that Zel is letting this happen.
"What else could I do? I was afraid that Air Jay might end up hurting some one if I said no."
"Well I am not going to let Sylvia open up a present from that outlaw, what if it is a trap or something." But it is too late, Sylvia already open up the present.
"How cute!" cried Sylvia in delight when she saw what she received. A Piko Piko Air Jay doll, almost similar to the Piko piko Lina doll but totally looking just like Air Jay. "Its so cute, I love it!"
"Yeah, a complete hair ball, like the real one." Joked Lina.
-----
"ATCHUU!" sneezed Air Jay, who was having his Christmas Party with Naga and Kiko in another city.
"Did you already catch a cold?" asked Naga. "It is understandable; after all it is snowing and every thing, so it is natural that some catches a cold."
"Well I'm surprised that you don't catch a cold by the way you dress up." Replied Air Jay.
"What was that?" asked Naga in a dangerous tone.
"Nothing, nothing!" said Air Jay very quickly. "By the way, what is the present that you have given to Sylvia?"
"That……is my little secret."
----
"Amazing…." Whispered Phill when he saw the present that Air Jay gave to Sylvia. "Could this be a new beginning? Could this means that the war between our two families is finally over? Can there be peace? Is this is a truce? YES! Justice finally wins!"
"By the way Phill, Air Jay also sent you a present." And Zelgadiss passes a gif to Phill.
Phill grabs the present. "MAGNIFISENT! This is finally over with the victory of the Seilune family. Finally Air Jay had no choice but to join the side of Justice!" When Phill open up the present, a pie emerged from the present and splashed right on Phill's face, with a note saying Palerma!´ witch means Sucker. "Or maybe not."
Every one laughed at what happen.
But Zel did not matter them, he just joined Amelia who was all alone in the balcony with a big present beside her.
"Sylvia sounds very happy." Said Zel as he putted his hand on Amelia's shoulder.
Amelia turns to Zel with a smile of her own. "Why shouldn't she be? After all, she is passing her first Christmas with her father." Both parents looked back at the little child having fun, and with a big joyful smile on her face.
Zel smiled at his little angel, it is hard to believe that Sylvia could ever be unhappy, she is always so cheerful and kind-hearted.
Zel turn to Amelia. "Amelia, can I ask what is so especial about that necklace that your sister gave you?"
Amelia opens up the necklace, and Zelgadiss sees a picture of Amelia when she was about four years old, her mother and Naga when she was young, and beside them there is another person witch is not Phill, it is a guy with strange hair, by the same age of Naga and caring a little white furry dog.
"This is an old photographed of my mother, I was young back then and I don't remember most stuff but I remember taking this picture." Said Amelia with a sentimental smile.
"But who is this other guy beside your mother and sister?" asked Zel, but he knew who it is. "Is it Air Jay? How can this be? I don't understand."
"I don't know Zelgadiss, I remember taking this picture, but I don't quite remember who was also in the picture. It was a long time ago."
"It seems that Your mother and your sister knew Air Jay a long time ago, now I understand why Naga and Air Jay got along so well, kind of." Zel then picks up something from his cape. "But enough about that, Merry Christmas." Zel passes out his present to Amelia.
Amelia takes the present and opens it, and sees a crystal ball with a magical smoke inside witch started to show images of Amelia's mother, sister, and her family and friends. "Zelgadiss, it is wonderful…."
"I goy from a magical shop I found. The crystal shows to the ones who are holding him, the ones that are very important to you, friend and family. But the crystal also show to you moment that have already happen in your past or people that you haven't saw in a long, long time. Like your mother"
Amelia hugged Zelgadiss with more tears in her eyes. "That you Zelgadiss." After they hugged each other witch it seems like forever, Amelia gives her present to Zelgadiss. "This is for you Zelgadiss."
Zel opens up his present and founds a big box witch inside there is a big guitar "This is a wonderful guitar."
"Lina once told me that you can play the guitar very well, so I though that it would be nice to give one to you." Responded Amelia, putting her hand on Zel's shoulder.
Zelgadiss put the Guitar down and wraps his arms around Amelia. "Thanks Amelia." And gives her a kiss on her lips. And Amelia returned that kiss.
After a few minutes of kissing, Zel lifts his hand, still holdings Amelia's and puts one hand around her waist. "Care to dance, milady?" he whispered gently on Amelia's hear.
Amelia blushed a little but let out a few giggles "But Zelgadiss, we have no music to dance on."
"And does that matter?" asked Zelgadiss, starting to dance along with Amelia.
"By the looks of things, I would say not." Responded Amelia following the steps.
And over almost the entire night, Amelia and Zel continues their dance with Amelia's head resting on Zelgadiss chest, and Zelgadiss is enjoying this moment. This is the very first time that Zelgadiss is celebrating Christmas, and he is celebrating it with his family and friends.
