Amelia turned to see Xelloss... and blushed.
She was ever been a shy girl apart the appearences and it was difficult for her showing her feelings.
She remembered when she had a crush on Zelgadiss. She helped him in every way and she was jealous if he followed another girl but she was able to say very little about how much she loved him.
Now there was this mazoku, just when she thought Zel started to feel as her, she noted him!
This situation created problems to her heart (what type of girl was!) and her mind (he's a demon and I'm a Saylun princess, it can't work!).
They were near to an inn and he smiled her: "Have you got a problem, Amelia-chan?"
Her heart skipped a beat, have he really asked if she had a problem?! The others watched him surprised and Zelgadis scowled: "Fruitcake mazoku!"
He smiled him but there was something of dangerous in his smile...
Amelia lost this change because her mind was far away where the dreams was reality and a demon was able to love a human.
Lina seemed surprised then she shook her: "Let's move, I'm hungry!"
Gourry nodded: "Me too, me too!"
Amelia didn't ate very much that evening
She was in her chamber after a good bath and precisely sat on the bed: What can I do? What can I do? I'm afraid I love him! Now when I look Zel I don't feel that warm sensation but only guilt. And when I look him My heart explodes and I want only his arms around me!
She blushed again to the alien thoughts that took life in her mind: What did he do to me? It's not a spell, I'd know
What was her problem? why she fell asleep only to the dawn whispering crying: "Xelloss! Xelloss!"
The following day she seemed tired to her friends, Lina smiled: "Amelia, are you sure to feel ok? If you want we can rest here another day. After all the food is incredible good! Waiter! a portion of every thing in menu!"
Gourry went along after her: "For me, this, this and this! Triple portion!" he pointed a ten of plates.
Zel ate as the usual: "a coffe, please?"
Xelloss chose an ice cream: "Do you want something, Amelia-chan?"
She looked him raged: "Let me alone!" and she ran away.
Suddenly the inn was empty while Lina created a fireball in the hand and Zel and Gourry pointed their sword to his troat.
Zel gritted his teeth: "What did you do to her?"
Lina added: "If you answer now I'll not hurt too much!"
He smiled: "Sore wa himitsu des" and vanished.
Amelia ran away crying, why did she had acted so, her heart ached so much, why was so simple speak about the justice and so difficult about her proper feelings.
She trip over a stone and fell on the ground: "Xelloss... Xelloss... How can I be so silly?"
"About what?" a known voice broke the silence around her.
"I'm sorry", she mumbled to him without looking him. She wasn't able to look him again.
He took her hand and forced her to stand up and watch him: "Lina-san wants kill me for your fault and I want know from you what have I done to you." He smiled and his open eyes shined of amusement.
Her heart sunk again more, it was only a game for him and I can only lose, she whispered: "I'm sorry Xelloss-san. I'll explain to Lina-san you didn't anything to me!"
His smile widened: "It's ok for her but it's not enough for me, my cute princess! I want the truth"
She trembled to the possessivness on the word my and she joyed for his compliment.
She fell in tears, she wanted escape but he was stronger and she knew it: "I love you!"
