I smile as I watch Zelgadis and Lina kiss, next to me, Xellos sighs wearily.

"It's better this way I suppose." I hear his clothing rustle as he kneels down next to me. I can sense the hurt and confusion radiating from him. It turn to look at him, and find myself nose to nose with him. Xellos opened his eyes, his Mazuko eyes and looks at me.

"Xellos.....I" Xellos cocks his head to aside and smiles slightly. "Xellos?" I whispered, and he reaches out his hand and caresses my cheek. I shudder as I feel his naked, gloveless hand caress my cheek. When did he shed his gloves?

What am I doing? I ask silently as I allow Xellos to lay his hands on my shoulders.

"Ne Firia-chan." He whispers, and I see his face come closer, to mine, and then, I feel his lips brush against my own. A whimper escapes my throat as I feel something akin to lightning run through my entire body. I have never felt like this before....so charged..... so alive....so....happy. "Firia." I hear Xellos whispered, but my eyelids feel as if they are weighted and they drift close. Slowly, almost hesitantly, I feel Xellos' arms wrap around me.

"This time, my bright little Dragoness, you aren't getting away." I hear Xellos whisper.

"Xellos....." my mind whispers and I allow him to deepen the kiss, after all, what harm could it cost?

I feel her tense as I lay my hand against her cheek. Oh my dear sweet Firia-chan..... Strange when did she stop being 'Lizard Lips' to me and become Firia-chan. Oh Xellos, you sure have done it now. A voice in the back of my mind rings out mockingly. First you have to go and fall in love. But instead of falling in love with one of your own kind, you go and fall in love with a ryuzoku, a Dragon, your most hated enemy.

"Firia." I whisper as I breathe in the gentle scent from her glorious golden hair. I think that is the first thing I noticed about her, her hair, shining in the sunlight like a candle flame, while a different fire burn within her eyes. The fires of hatred burnt within those cerulean depth, fires directed at me.

You are getting soft in your old age Xellos. I tell myself acidly as I begin to kiss the delicate line of Firia's jaw. "This time, my bright little Dragoness, you aren't getting away." I murmur as I deepen the kiss.

I sigh in contentment as I lean against a boulder, and Lina snuggles into my arms.

"Zel." She whispers softly, and I look down at her.

"Yes Lina." I murmur as I kiss the tip of her cute little nose. She growls playfully and pulls my face down to hers.

Hmmm this is not good. I muse silently as I kiss Lina back. Get a hold on yourself Zel. The voice in my mind cautions me. "Lina, we should stop." I whisper as I break off the kiss."

"Why?" Lina asks as she looks up at me somewhat disgruntled.

"Because we are going why to fast." I murmur blushing. Lina looks at me curious.

"Why?"

"Because this is a whole lot faster then I am used to." I feel the trice-cursed blush spread across my cheeks. Lina reaches up and touches my burning cheek.

"Well I'll be a daughter of a Mazuko, you're a virgin." My blush deepens. "You are aren't you."

"Yeah... so what?" I ask sullen.

"Noting, I'm just surprised is all." Lina whispers as she snuggled deeper into my embrace. "Hey Zel, in case I forget to tell you, I love you." I kiss her.

"That's good because you're going to have to listen to it every day for the rest if your life." I run my hand over her silky red hair. "Because I love you Lina, and I am going to be here, forever"

I stared at the sleeping Firia. I have never felt like this before, and he wasn't sure whether or not, I liked it. There was a kind of painful longing in my heart, that threatened to overwhelm me. I softly stroke her hair, and kiss her awake.

"Ne Firia-chan? Where do you keep that mace of yours?" I smile as Firia springs up and begins to pummel me. I sigh, I have a woman to love, and a mace in my gut....... Ahhhhh. Life is good
