Part 1


It was a quiet day in Filia's pottery shop when suddenly an unexpected guest barged in. BARGED, I say. Wait! Not that -

CRASH!!! - - hard. The door burst open and I mean really burst open.

"Xelloss!!!" (Uh.... excuse me but.. 'Xelloss!!'?? ) "Eto.. I forgot..." Filia smiled meekly. She cleared her throat. "Namagomi!!' She exclaimed as the purple haired priest smiled.

"Yare..yare... what do we have here..." He said as he inspects the potteries around. Filia jumped over from behind the counter and in front of Xelloss. (I give 10 points). Xelloss clapped his hands as he held up a 0.00001 point's scorecard.

"Are we expecting some kind of acrobatic act? " he said with his eyes still closed. Filia stretched her arms as if to protect her precious potteries.

"I am trying to protect my potteries," She said grimly. "Don't you DARE touch anything in this holy place," She warned him.

"Eto... and what if I want to actually buy something from here?" he replied as he played with his staff.

"I'll just be missing one customer... so what?" Filia narrowed her eyes. "Look what you've done to my door!!" she yelled. Xelloss sighed as he snapped his fingers. Filia's door pieces flew around and suddenly formed into a new door. But that doesn't stop Filia from yelling at the Mazoku. Fortunately he brought his all-purpose earplugs.

"Fortunately I brought my all-purpose ear plugs," Xelloss said as he plugs it in his ears. He could see Filia's big mouth shouting and screaming out names. But hey... he was in peace...

"Baka!! Namagomi!!! Look at what you've done! You low rank - " Filia continued shouting. Xelloss managed to do a lot of stuffs while she was shouting, like checking his teeth for leftovers, play Sega, watch all 3 episodes of Star Wars.. that stuffs, you know.

"Finished?" Xelloss asked when Filia's mouth finally was closed. Plus she was panting. "Poor dragon..here have a cup of tea," he said as he served her tea in a Japanese manner with the cushion and table as they sat on the floor.

"Thanks.." Filia panted as she sipped the tea. "Ahh.. that felt good..."

"I'd say, this tea is 100% Zardium,"

"You don't say.." Filia's eyes widen as she smelled the tea. "It is Zardium!"

"Yeah, made from the fresh leaves of herbal tea up in the Zardium mountains," Xelloss explained.

"Mmm... Zardium's tea are always first class," Filia sipped her tea again. This time Xelloss joined her with his own cup of tea.

"But it can't compare to Homanist jasmine tea," Xelloss said as he drank his tea.

"I agree. The taste totally leaves a mark in your mouth and - (I don't mean to interrupt this little tea discussion but can we just go on?).... Ano..." Filia finished her tea first then she smacked her forehead.

"Why are you here, Namagomi??" Filia said as she raised her eyebrows. Xelloss calmly finished his tea.

"I just want to tell you how much dragons suck and they should be buried and be at stake and burnt to death!!" He stood up and - (Wait a minute... You are not supposed to do that! Rewind!!)

"I just want to tell you (erase this part people and put in the new lines).....I have personally invited you to play a game," he said twitching his mouth. "A Labyrinth," Filia raised her eyebrows again.

"A labyrinth?" Filia threw her head back and laughed a Naga laugh. "What makes you think that I'll go?" Xelloss rubbed his chin and sighed.

"I just wanted to see if a dragon is clever enough to pass though a tough labyrinth. I know a mazoku could," he winked.

"Excuse me?!!" Filia made a face. "I don't need - "

Filia's words were interrupted by a crash at her door as someone BARGED in. The newly made door burst into pieces as smoke of dust came with the crash.

"My new door..." Filia whined.

"My work....." Xelloss whined.

"Cough...cough..." came a voice between the smoke. Filia glanced over to Xelloss as if suspecting something..evil.. Xelloss meekly shrugs his shoulders. As the smoke clears a silhouette form was seen. Xelloss and Filia squinted their eyes to get a better view.

"Lina!"

"Lina!"

"Lina!"

"Gourry!"

(confused? Let me write it in a more understandable way)

"Lina!" Filia exclaimed surprised.

"Lina!" Xelloss said, shocked.

"Lina!" Gourry wailed as he and Lina were tangled with each other.

"Gourry!" Lina shouted as she and Gourry tried to untangle themselves. Xelloss and Filia sweatdrops.

"What an interesting position..." Xelloss said as he observed the situation. "Kama Sutra, I presume?"

"Xelloss!!" A big whopper mace landed on his twisted, sick head. His face automatically meets the floor in a painful way. A huge swell bump began forming on top of his head.

"Oh my god... I didn't mean to..." Filia gasped sarcastically. "I really thought I saw a horrid little bug on your head," She said as she hid her mace.

"Gourry!" Lina said as she kicks Gourry's face.

"Lina!" Gourry said as he pushes her legs away.

"How do you get here?" Filia asked looking down to them. "And how did you get into that position?"

"We don't know," Lina said as she twists her arms around. "We were eating when suddenly some force pulled us.. like... like..."

"A strong magnetic field pulls anything steel or like the black hole," Gourry finished for Lina.... What?!

"Well.. thank you very much for destroying my door," Filia sighed. She studied the untangled ones. Filia helped the both of them. At last after a lot of struggling, they were free.

"Alright... Xelloss!" Lina shouted at the smiling priest. Filia caught Lina by her cape before Lina could proceed any further.

"Fix my door first..." Filia warned as she pointed to her mace. Lina and Gourry sweatdrops as they backed away from Filia and started hammering pieces of the door to form..well... a newer door. Gourry screwed the hinges while Lina polished the doorknob. It wasn't what Filia had in mind as a door but hey.. it's still a door. Lina and Gourry brushed their hands when they had finished.

Lina cleared her throat and continued where she had left off. She yelled, "Alright... Xelloss!!" She lifted the Mazoku who was on the floor by his collar. "Talk!!" Xelloss choked.

"I - -choke - "

"I know it was you, I can sense you!!" Lina shook the sort of helpless right now Xelloss.

"It was - choke - "

"It was what huh?!! What do you want now!"

"I - "

"Talk, I say!" Lina said as she shoots dagger in the Mazoku's eyes.

"Ouch! Ouch!! Sadist!!!" Xelloss exclaimed as he felt his eyes were stabbed by a thousand of daggers as if it were going through his white eyeballs, through the amethyst pupil spurting out blood and while he was cursing the narrator.

(It was meant to be literally...)

"Oh..." Xelloss said blinking his eyes as the daggers of his imagination disappeared. "In that case... it's alright then,"

"Lina.. how can he talk if you're cutting off his air.." Gourry pointed out. Lina blushed slightly as she threw Xelloss on the floor causing a small earthquake, which made some of the potteries by the edges of the shelves fall and.. well... break.

"My babies!!" Filia cried as she tried to save her vases one by one while trying to dodge the ones coming from above. She caught two in her right hand and three in her left. But then Xelloss 'accidentally' stretched his legs out too far causing Filia to tripped and break her saved 'babies'. Her big blue eyes captured the shattering of her babies in such an awful way.

"Xelloss!!" Filia said smoke fuming out from her ears. Lina stood in front of Xelloss before Filia could do anything. Lina shook her head as if to say no.

"I'm going to make him talk first!!!!!!" She turned and yelled.

"Lina..." Gourry sweatdrops.

"What the fucking hell are you trying to fucking do with us, you fucking bastard!," (Gaahh... foul languages!! Erase! Erase! Back! Back!)

"Lina..." Gourry sweatdrops.

"What are you trying to do with us!" Lina yelled. (It's more dignified)

"Well... can we just wait for a few more guests?" Xelloss replied. At that moment another trail of smoke was seen outside Filia's shop heading towards her....

"No..no... not the - "

CRASH!! Trails of smoke and dust blast through Filia's newer door.

" - door.." Filia finished.

"Not again,"

"Our masterpiece..." Lina and Gourry wailed. As the smoke cleared, Filia, Gourry and Lina got some sort a shock of their lives. For scrawling there on the floor by the pieces of the door, were a wailing Marchina, a bruised face of Zangulus, a blushing Sylphiel, an up on her foot Amelia, and a mad, furious, exasperated Zelgadiss.

"Where am I..." Marchina whined. She looked at Lina. "Lina!!" She made a face.

"Who took me from my diplomatic mission!!" Amelia said out loud with her fist shaking. "Lina san! Gourry san! Filia san!" Amelia hopped excitedly towards the threesome. "And Zelgadiss san!"

"Gourry-sama!" Sylphiel looked at her Gourry sama with those green eyes of hers.

"Gourry..." Zangulus said between clenched teeth as he glared at his so-called opponent.

"Really.. I hate to break this nostalgic moment and all but I was the one who brought you all here," Xelloss explained while receiving several bad looks from the group.

"Kuso...." Zelgadiss cursed. He glared at Xelloss as if knowing that he brought them here. "What the hell did you do?" He asked Xelloss.

"Sore wa himitsu.." He winked. And everyone started attacking him. Lina punched him, Gourry kicked him, Amelia pulled his hair, Zelgadiss knocked him with one... lots of Filia's potteries, Filia hit him with her mace, Zangulus whacked him, Marchina was shrieking at him while Sylphiel just said softly as she tries to calm them down. By that time, Xelloss already looked like a dead fish.

"Itee...." He muttered.
