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
