;D Review!

Xelloss watched, half amused and half concerned, as Lina rampaged about her room spouting some nonsense about her long time chimera friend he assumed to be her mystery visitor. Xelloss knew of the rock man's terrible temper and that he tended to let his mouth slip when angry, and he did get angry alot. It was unusual though that Lina would be so upset by the chimera's insults. Normally she would be the only one able to soothe his angry wrath.
It appeared that this time he had gone too far, whether he had realized it in doing so or not. Whatever he had said probably had only started out as an innocent slur of stinging derogatory comments, but instead turned out to be very hurtful insults. Xelloss felt a little sorry for the chimera who'd had idea that Lina had been very on-edge as of late, the reason of course had been the spear she now possessed.
"-and that damned chimera! He can go to hell for all I care, him and his stupid cure. Why doesn't he just shut up and accept what he is? I will not let him insult me like that! Me! The infamous Lina In-" Xelloss drowned out Lina's rambling and teleported soundlessly from the room, not wanting to disturb her.
He materialized in the sitting room below where Zelgadiss sat on the couch, his face placed in his cold stone hands. "Hello there, Zelgadiss-san!" Xelloss sang, purposely startling the chimera into jumping up with his sword drawn dangerously close to Xelloss's neck.
"Now, now, Zelgadiss! It's me; Xelloss. You can put the sword down now." An evil grin spread over Zelgadiss's face and he pushed the sword's tip ever so close to Xelloss's Adams apple. "Why would I want to do that?"
Xelloss merely chuckled and, with his finger tip, gently pushed the sword away. "Always the sweet talker, aren't we Zelly-chan?" Zelgadiss growled darkly, but seemed to decide on his own that the mazoku wasn't worth it.
He collapsed back down onto the couch miserably, and leaned his head back. Xelloss studied him silently before sitting down himself onto the same perch Lina had settled in. "What the hell do you want with Lina, Xelloss? You don't usually stick around this long just for the fun of it."
Xelloss laughed knowingly, and held his index finger into the air. "That is a secret, dear Zelgadiss-san. You needn't worry yourself with me though, for it is Lina-san you are troubling yourself over."
Zelgadiss honestly looked far too exhausted to argue with the annoying mazoku, and for once simply nodded and held his tongue. "Whatever did you do to upset her?" Xelloss ventured, his voice soft and soothing
"None of your damned business." He couldn't help but smile at that, it was just too typical of an answer from his old traveling companion. "Mm I suppose it isn't, but wouldn't you like to know why Lina is so upset?"
This brought a spark of interest to Zelgadiss's eye, and he sat up straight, resting his elbows on his knees. "If you really think you know, and then tell me, why is Lina so upset?"
The mazoku raised his finger again, thoroughly enjoying this, but his index finger was suddenly being crushed in Zelgadiss's clenched fist. "Why. Is. Lina. Upset?" He repeated, stressing each syllable, his face growing darker with each word that passed his lips.
Xelloss pulled his finger from Zel's hand and pouted. "Ow, that hurt Zelly-san." Zelgadiss hardly blinked, only stared at Xelloss expectantly.
Xelloss sighed and clasped his hands together in his lap; he was very disappointed that Zelgadiss had spoiled all his fun. "Lina-san, as you already know, now has the spear with her thanks to my aid in her journey up the mountains. On those mountains we encountered the guardian spirit whom we easily defeated, but this spirit upon his last breath told Lina she was to be the sole cause of the extinction of humanity. As you can probably guess the spear will be her guide on this path of destruction."
Zelgadiss cursed and leaned back again into the couch cushions. "Why doesn't she just leave it here?"
"I don't quite think she can, Zelgadiss-san."
"What the hell are you talking about? Of course she can."
Xelloss shook his head solemnly. "The spear has already chosen her. It is now her fate to wield the spear, but it will be her choice also whether or not to fight against its evil influence. I didn't realize it before but now it is very clear; the lance has decided its new master."
