I watched her from my relm, The Sea of Chaos, kneeling of her fallen soldier. I had seen everything that had just happened. It seemed as though Beastmaster had finaly had enough of playing with their lives and ordered that Xellos to despose of her toys. Yo bad for her I wasn't going to let my toy die. Was she my toy though? I never once gave it a thought. Either way I lent her my power to kill Xellos once and for all. That would be punishment enough for Beastmaster, concidering she probably already knew I was behind her sudden strength. Ofcourse, befor I lent her my power, that man saved her from from a blast from Xellos, loosing his life in the process.

Around her lay the badly injured Chimera-man, and the Seillune princess limping towards. But she didn't pay attention. She was to busy leaning over that man. What was his name again? Ah yes. Gourry if I remember correctly.

"L-sama..." I smiled as I heard her call out my name. Was she going to fulfill her promise to me? The one she made back when Helmaster had toyed with her.

"Miss Lina...please, we have to treat our wounds..." She shook her head and stood up.

As promised, I looked over at her as I heard her transmit her thoughts to me, He's dead. I'm your's now. I smiled and snapped my fingers, and a gold light surounded her. She reappeared infront of me and looked up at me. I ignored the startled cries from the world and looked over at her.

"Why now...?" She whispered to me as she slid to the floor, tears finaly falling down her face. I stood up and walked over to her.

"It was Beastmaster. I didn't decide his fate." I told her.

"I loved him so much but I never had a chance to tell him."

I closed my eyes. Reaching out I pulled her to me with one hand. I felt her stiffen but slowly relax and rest her head against my legs. She lifted one hand up and grabbed ahold of my skirt while I rested my other hand atop hers. I felt the saddness and grief emit of her but slowly deminish as it was replaced with comfort. Comfort for being with me? Why did this make me feel happy.

"You know, unlike the Mazoku's I don't like making unsessisary anger or saddness. I feel them myself so I know how much they hurt," I small smile played accross my lips as I said the next thing, "You will nolonger be my new form...not anymore." I felt her grip on my dress tighten.

"Don't send me back...please..." She begged.

"I will only send you back when I need to, " I told her, "Instead of being my new form, you will be my messanger...my child." I felt her relax once again. I looked down at her as she looked back up at me. Then she closed her eyes and against me again.

My child...yes that's what she was to me. She is not my toy but my child. And that is what she will alway's be, that Lina Inverse.

Yes it's short, but it was ment to be. I based the fic on a picture I drew of Lina kneeling at L-sama's feet with her head resting against her leg's while L-sama held Lina's hand. in anycase, R&R please.
