A curse for the better? Or for the worse…

By: Dark fire angel

DFA: Hallo everyone! *Waves* First of all I gotta say that this story is half mine half Rei Mizuko, so half the credit's hers! *Giggles and waves fic papers around*

Val: *Jumps up and down trying to catch* Let me see! Let me see!!! >.< Am I in it?!

DFA: *Sweatdrop* I…. err…. BYE!! *Runs off*

Val: O.o That means I'm not in it?! *Growl* Angel-san!!! *Sighs and turns to readers*

Val: Angel-san does not own any of the characters in this fic…. she doesn't claim to either *Walks off with depression lines* Is it too much to ask? I only want a fic…. T-T

How does everything start? You'd be surprised, actually, for everything must start with a simple word or action. A war maybe initiated by a simple action. Anything may me initiated like that… as a certain Golden dragon had found out the day she came back to report about how her mission had ended.

However, she was not going to think about such things, for it was a beautiful afternoon and the sun was shinning bright, why bother with what was going to happen later? She'd be much better off enjoying the quiet peace for once. And so, she skipped along a grassland next to the forest where she had decided to camp for a little vacation.

Filia hummed as she skipped, happily enjoying the peace till….

"Boo!" said an all-too familiar voice from behind her, making her jump in the air, and accidentally landing on her attacker.

"Who's there? THAT voice!!!" she shrieked as she looked around herself, "I know that voice!! Where are you?!" the dragon had actually failed to notice she was now sitting on the one she was searching for.

The purple haired man underneath her sweatdroped as he poked her, "Uhm…. Fi-chan, down here?" he said, his voice teasing, "My my…. you're an over grown lizard! A diet would sure do you good." He smiled when his taunting had the desired effect, her tail popped out and she jumped off him, mace in hand, ready to home-run the annoying mazoku to space.

"Why you little creep!" she shrieked as she advanced towards him, tail straight behind her and hair on end, "You…. you…. HENTAII!!" she raced towards him and swung, however, she missed as he teleported up into a nearby tree, grinning for all he was worth as he looked down at her.

"Tsk tsk!" said Xellos as he wagged a finger at her, "If you were so eager to play, you should have told me from the beginning, Fi-chan."

The dragon maiden growled and proceeded to smash the tree down with her ever present mace-sama, "Why yes I am! Now come down here and sit so I can bash your skull in!!" she kept on smashing till she noticed that the mazoku was hovering, no longer on the tree.

"So violent, ne? I don't believe I've done anything to you yet, Fi-chan...." said the priest as he hovered upside down and winked at her, making her glare in return.

"You have TOO!!" came the some what cocky reply, "You exist! And I landed on you 'cause you scared me!" she glared at him hoping her glare could make him vanish from sight…. but no such luck.

The mazoku raised an eyebrow at the twitching blond below him, "Yeah?" he asked as he opened an eye at her, "I believe I was the one harmed in that situation, Filly-chan.... As for existing…. well, expect me around for while." He finished grinning wide.

Filia turned her back to him and sighed, walking up to a tree and letting herself sink into a sitting position, "Stupid mazoku.... go somewhere else, you shattered my peaceful morning," she said in a sad voice, "Why always me? Leave me alone for once! It's not that difficult!"

Xellos teleported down, a mere meter away from her and crossed his arms over his chest, "Aww, Fi-chan, but you're so much fun to tease! And you make such a good meal! I dun wanna go now." He then began to mock pout, trying with all his might to get her to swipe mace-sama again.

However, to no avail as Filia suddenly grinned, standing up and managing to do a justice type pose, "Yeah? Well I've got something fun to do! And you can't do anything about it!" she swiped out a book and sat down, leaning the covers on her knees so that the title was hidden from him and began to read to herself.

Curiosity got the better of Xellos as he slid one eye open and scooted closer in an attempt to read a bit of what seemed to interest the little dragon so much. Filia seemed to have noticed, for she coughed and pulled the book into a new position, so as not to allow him to read anything, "Filia!! That's mean!" whined the mazoku, "Let me see!" and with that, he snatched the book and sat in mid air, reading it.

"My, my…. I never knew mazoku enjoyed reading love poems," said the blond with a smirk when she saw his face turn a pale green, "Lovely, aren't they? I think I'll recite one now!" she began reciting a poem off by heart, making Xellos go greener.

"Fi…. Filia-chan?" he asked meekly as he handed her book back, "Please…"

The golden dragon smirked wider and stopped reciting as she graved her book back and hid it, "Then you should respect other people's belongings, Xel-KUN!!" she hissed in an attempt to make him twitch, "That's for scaring me, you dumb mazoku…." she then proceeded to sit back down to huff and puff.

Xellos cocked his head then grinned, "Dumb? I believe I wasn't the one who got scared, Fi-chan..." he said as he sat himself down too, "And by the way, I' like how kun sounds."

Filia blinked a second then glared at the priest sitting next to her, "Damn it!! I was trying to…." she cut herself off and waved her hands in the air in despair, "You know what? Forget it…. mazoku are way too stupid to understand sarcasm," she narrowed her eyes at him, "Leave me, please…. or else…."

This got his attention alright, "Huh?" he asked as he opened an eye to her again, "Or else?"

"Yes," said the blond whilst nodding, "Or else… and believe me, you don't want to know what or else is…." much to her astonishment, Xellos suddenly vanished from sight… although what the little dragon didn't know was that he had only made himself invisible and un-senseable.

Filia looked around herself and began searching for his presence, but as she could not sense him, she relaxed and let out a sigh, "Stupid mazoku…." she muttered to no one in particular, "Always taunting, always teasing… and his eyes…." she stopped abruptly and blinked, "So what about his eyes? I do have to admit that they're kinda mysterious and attractive, but…." she let out another sigh when she realised that she had lost that particular battle, "Oh, alright. So I like his eyes, so what?"

A soft chuckle startled her and she stood up in a flash, looking around nervously while suppressing a shudder, "W-who's there?" she asked, voice barely above a strained whisper.

"Sore wa himitsu desu…." came the reply, breathed down her neck, making her jump.

"GHOST!!!" she yelled as she began running away, stopping a short distance later blinking and blushing once she recognised both the phrase and the voice, "Please not him…." she moaned, "Anyone but him!"

"But I thought you liked my eyes." Said the mazoku as he appeared in front of her, hovering upside down and smirking slightly whilst he opened his eyes to look at her, "At least so I've heard…."

The dragon maiden blushed a little and twitched, "And I thought that spying others was not nice," she hissed at him, "Although I shouldn't expect otherwise from you!" and with that, she marched for the forest, leaving the priest behind, "Bye, Namagomi." she had noticed that the sun was beginning to go down…. she had to get away from him before it did.

"Bye, bye, Fi-chan!" he shouted after her as he waved, "See you soon!"

His phrase had the desired effect once more, he got the privilege of seeing her tail pop out and swish around, "Dun call me CHAN!!!" she shrieked as she twitched madly, trying to decide whether or not she should bring mace-sama forward.

"Oh, ok Fi-chan!" the trickster could practically see smoke coming out of the dragon's head as she huffed and marched into the forest, "See you soon indeed…." he muttered as he vanished from sight.

Filia let her shoulders droop as she walked into a clearing where there was a little tent, "If only he knew…." she said as she let out a sigh, "Oh well, might as well get a bit of sleep…." she crawled into the tent and laid down…. though…. one thought still shifted around in her mind; If it hadn't been for him, her elder wouldn't have…. it total fury she looked at the setting sun, "STUPID MAZOKU!!!!!" she yelled at the sky.

"You shrieked, Fi-chan?" asked the ever cheerful mazoku as he appeared be her side, giggling slightly when the startled girl managed to tangle herself with her sleeping bag and fall in an attempt to run away, "Need help?"

The girl sweatdropped as she kicked at her bag, "Yes, I need help to get rid of you…." she mumbled in a quiet tone, "Would you please leave me alone?" she asked, then stopped and blinked in confusion, "Did I just say please?"

"Why you have…." replied Xellos as he smiled, "I do believe I did here a certain dragon request politely…." smile getting wider when she groaned in distress.

However the moment she noticed the sun set, her eyes went wide and she dived into the sleeping bag, "Get out, get out, GET OUT!!!" she shrieked at the mazoku, politeness forgotten as she covered herself completely from view, "You gotta leave…." she whimpered as sweatdrops formed on the sleeping bag and she curled into a little ball under the cover.

In fact… WAY too little, thought the priest as he cocked his head and raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Fi-chan? What's the matter? Is something wrong?" he was answered with a soft, pathetic `miu mew' like sound, "What the….?" Xellos reached and pulled back the covers, his eyes snapping open and going impossibly wide, "FILIA!!! What happened to you?!"

DFA: Ok! First chap ready! What's with Fi? *Giggle* Oh you'll see in little, if you want me to continue with this! JA! *Flies off and away*
