Zelgadiss slowly woke up and opened her eyes, and looked up at the scarlet red canopy. She bolted up and found herself in a large oak bed with black silk sheets and a scarlet velvet blanket with black trimmings. She looked around at a beautifully furnished room with a fire raging in the fireplace. The room seemed elegant and quaint.
She looked down at herself, hoping the last things she remembered before blacking out had been a nightmare. She groaned as she realized it hadn't been a nightmare. She sighed. Well at least, she was dressed now. Someone had put on a white, silk, spagetti strap nightgown on her that hung to just above the knee. She started to get out of bed....
"Ahh, I see your awake. I hope you slept well."
She turned to see Xelloss sitting in a chair at the foot of the bed.
Zelgadiss quickly grabbed the blanket to cover herself. "Why am I here and why are you here?"
"Why Gadiss you wound me. I brought you here, so you could get some rest after such a shocking ordeal and I'm here to make sure nothing happens to my lovely Gadiss."
Zelgadiss growled, "I am not YOURS AND MY NAME IS NOT GADISS! SO DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
Xelloss walked over to the her, taking her hand, "You look like a goddess to me, so I WILL call you Gadiss", and he bent over and kissed her hand.
Zelgadiss freaked out, punching the Mozuku, "Hentai!!!"
Xelloss sighed....beauty, strength, and a stone fist. She was perfect.
"Oh well, now that your awake, I'll leave you so you can get yourself up and ready, and I'll be back with some new clothes."
Zelgadiss stared at him, "Why didn't you just get them, while I was asleep, so I could have them when I woke up."
"Weellll", Xelloss began, "I didn't feel comfortable leaving you alone and defenseless, so I waited for you to wake up. Now, I'll leave you and get you clothes. Ja mata"
Zelgadiss sat there for a while, uncertain of what to do, so she stood up to look around the room, but eventually found herself in front of the mirror. She stood there, slowly turning in front of the mirror, trying to come to grips with her body's sudden change. Suddenly, she spun around as she heard Xelloss phase into the room.
"Hello, my love, here are your clothes. I hope you like them."
"STOP SAYING THINGS LIKE THAT, I AM NOT YOUR LOVE!"
Xelloss smiled invitingly," After you are done getting dressed, MY LOVE, I would like to invite you down to the dinning room for breakfast. The meal will be on me, and Lina-chan isn't here yet to fight over the food, so for once you could have a nice, quiet meal."
Zelgadiss paused, "What do you mean, Lina's not here yet. Does she and the rest know where we are?"
"Why of course, Gadiss-chan. I sent a message to her to let her know the current situation, where we were, and invited her to come."
Zelgadiss lowered her head, "I'm not sure I want them to see me this way. I don't think I wanted you to invite them."
"Welllll, Gadiss-chan, you are going to have to learn a few things about being a woman, which obviously I can't teach you, and I don't think you want to ask any strange woman you don't know....... about such private details."
"Oh," was Zel's only response as she blushed.
Xelloss chuckled, and decided it was time to leave the room to allow her to dress.
Xelloss waited patiently in the dining room waiting for Gadiss to walk in. He'd expected her to take a while to figure out the women's clothing, but was pleased to see her enter in a much shorter time than he'd expected.
The dress he'd picked for her reminded him of the dress she'd worn when she was a man in drag. The white dress had slits all the way up her thighs on both sides, however, he hadn't bothered to get her any tights, so he got a beautiful view of her legs. The upper half of the dress was a sleeveless top. It had shoulder straps that gracefully fell off her shoulders and draped over her upper arm. A small red tear-drop shaped stone hung in the middle of her chest, accenting her cleavage. It was attached to a gold chain, that trailed over her shoulder, holding her cloak. He'd also gotten her a new sword. Her old one was much too big. So he got a high quality sword in her size with a scabbard and belt. He smiled when he saw that she had actually worn the white leather garter that had a string attaching it to the scabbard. Xelloss was told that this would keep the sword from swinging around too much, which could become awkward in a dress. He didn't know if that was true, but he liked the way it looked on her bare leg.
She walked into the room shyly and Xelloss greeted her at the door with a sweeping bow and a kiss to the hand. She rolled her eyes at him and walked past him.
"You think you could have gotten something that showed more skin." Her voice was dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh, I could have easily found something more revealing. If you want I could go look now."
"NO! That's not necessary" She nearly shouted at him. "Let's sit down and eat, please."
She walked across the room to a far table. She didn't notice that most of the men in the room stopped eating to admiringly watch her. However, Xelloss noticed, and he stopped to stare at them, his open eyes promising death to whoever even thought about touching her. Xelloss didn't want to chance a repeat performance of the Hotel Royal incident.
Zelgadiss sat down at the table and Xelloss sat across from her staring at her lovingly. Zelgadiss then proceeded to order a very large breakfast. She hadn't realized that she was so hungry.
"My, my, Gadiss-chan, it's seems that turning you into a woman has made you more like Lina-chan."
"XELLOSS, you don't have to be mean!" Zelgadiss retorted, blushing a bright pink.
Xelloss chuckled, but stopped to give another group of staring men the look of death, but this time Zelgadiss noticed the look. She quickly spun around to see what he was staring at, but only saw men who seemed really interested in their food. She shrugged her shoulders and went back to eating.
Zelgadiss finished eating, all the while listening to Xelloss babble on about virtually anything, who only paused to give that strange look to a bunch of men, who would suddenly become fascinated with their food.
Zelgadiss got up and decided she was going to go to her room to take a short nap, before deciding what she was going to do while waiting for the rest of the gang to arrive.
She opened her door, walked in, and stared in shock.
Her room was filled with roses!!!!!!
