A curse for the better? Or for the worse…

By: Dark fire angel

DFA: My friends have been poking and nagging at me to continue this before I go on vacation ^-^ but…. I didn't get time.… am so sorry *Bows*

Val: *Pulls on DFA's clothes* Angel-san.... I've decided I wanna go with you to London, please take me? *Puppy dog eyes* I'll be a good dragon! I really will! Promise! Cross my heart, hope to die!

DFA: Huh? Why? *Suspicious* What has Xelly told you? `Cause I know he's the one behind this....

Xel: Yare, yare.... always me! I didn't say anything to him! >.<! *Pouts*

Val: *Pulls out a paper with something written on it* Look.... I found it on my bed.... it says I'll die if I dun go with you!! You gotta take me!

DFA: *Reads paper* -.-;; This is Xelly's handwriting! *Growls at Xel* I thought you didn't say anything to scare the kid!!

Xel: *Grin* And I didn't SAY anything! It's written down, ne? n_n *Teleports away*

DFA: *Blinks* Hey! Get back here!! *Runs away*

Val: *Tilts head to one side* Does that mean I'll be ok? *No one answers* Ok…. I think I'll say the disclaimer…. *Coughs and clears throat* This fic is owned by Angel-san and Rei-san…. though this doesn't mean that they own the characters, `cause they dun <.< *Giggle* They wish they did!! *Walks off*

" - " - " - " - " (Xelly and Filly are still in the kitchen! ^0^)

After a lot of running around the kitchen, Xellos disappeared, leaving Filia alone, "Huh? Xellos?" her eyes widened, "Eck! Xellos! Where are you?!" her question was quickly answered when the priest reappeared and hugged her from behind as he laughed.

"Ha! Gotcha!" he chirped, "I won!" his grin grew when he felt the dragon stiffen and then progressively relax to him, "Ne Fi-chan.... I think you need to do more exercise, that way you'd be able to catch me!"

The blond gave a low growl but said nothing to the mazoku's last comment, instead she leaned a bit more into his embrace.... and that is how Dynast found them when he suddenly teleported into the kitchen, holding a bottle of wine in one hand. The ice lord blinked a few times and then burst out laughing, "Zelas!! Zelas come quick!!" he called, "Look what I found!" he pointed at Xel and Fi, how were now in a state of shock, and hadn't moved from their position.

Zelas teleported in, looking real irritated, "What is it you little...." she trailed off when she saw her priest and the dragon maiden, "Humm…. err...." she sweatdroped and turned to Dynast, who was still laughing hysterically.

"Oh L-sama!" he said when he recovered his breath, "Where's my photo camera?" he was still pointing at the startled duo, "Having fun, ne Xellos?" he smirked when his comment made them snap out of it and glare intently.

"Someone make him shut up...." murmured Filia under her breath.

Xellos let go of her and opened his eyes, "My pleasure, Fi-chan," he growled, though his threat had no effect on Dynast whatsoever.

The silver haired lady smiled, "Now, now Xelly...." she said as she wagged a finger at him, "Dynast is mine to beat to pulp, which reminds me...." she swiped out her mallet and raised it over her head, aiming it towards the black haired mazoku's head, "Dynast-kun? We didn't finish our little talk!"

Said mazoku didn't notice the mallet, for he was still talking to Xellos, "Tsk, tsk Xellos.... remember that you should always wait for the best moment and search for the best place to do things like those...." it was then that he noticed Zelas and her weapon, "Mallet!!!" he yelped as he grabbed Filia and used her as a shield.

"Dynast.... you're such a coward, dear...." sighed Zellas as she shook her head. To which the black mazoku responded by raising an eyebrow and giving her a `No.... just a mazoku, dear....' look.

The blond meanwhile was twitching a lot, "He's.... touching…. ME!!!" she yelled at full volume.

"He's.... touching.... HER!!!" yelled Xellos at the same time as her, also twitching.

Zelas let out another sigh, "Dyanst dear, I'll give you 3 more seconds to let go of that dragon and come forth so I can beat you to pulp..." she raised her hand, "1.... 2...." the Beastmaster wasn't allowed to continue, for suddenly Filia decided she had had enough and roared, morphing into a dragon there and then, in front of everyone.

"But it's fun to see them twitch and...." the ice lord stopped in the middle on his sentence and blinked, watching the blond morph, then he grinned, "I saw her transform.... gee.... that was fun..." he winked at Xellos as the dragon began to fire around the kitchen, "Such wonderful chaos she causes!"

"I'll show you fun!!" shrieked Zelas as she pounced, waving her mallet at the black haired mazoku's face, who raised his hands and deflected the blow, which caused her to glare, "Stay still! I can't hit you if you don't! ARG!!" she then threw the mallet at him, which he ducked.

The dragon roared again, "Why is no one paying attention to me?!" she demanded as she stomped her foot, making the ground shake.

The Beastmaster laughed and sweatdroped, "Ano... sorry Filia, are you hungry?" she asked, smile on her face.

Dynast grinned as he teleported onto the dragon's head, "I'd say she must be…." he then smirked, "Say…. did these two spend the night together?" he asked as he pointed at Xellos and then patted Filia's head, "`Cause if she did, she MUST be hungry!!" his smirk widened when both of them twitched simultaneously.

"I could say the same thing about you and Zelas-sama...." said the purple haired priest in between teeth, "But as I respect her very much, I won't...."

Poor Fi looked about to explode, her aura was flying around her, "Get…. him... offa…. me.... NOW!!!" she began to flail her arms in her air as she kicked with her feet, "Argg!! He's touching me! Get him off! Get him off! He's touching me and he ain't my mazoku!!"

The black haired mazoku laughed as he grabbed on, enjoying his ride, "I can now see why Xellos likes this so much!!"

"Get your own dragon!" growled the priest as he glared at him.

"I dun have one!" replied Dynast as he grabbed onto Filia some more, "I think this one's cute…. plus…. she's a female...." he grinned wide when the purple haired mazoku grabbed the bait.

"What the hell are you implying?!" he snarled, but stopped and blinked when he noticed the dragon had stopped flailing and was now smirking, "Fi-chan?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow, "Humm...." something told him to back off from her for a second, and he did it just in time, for suddenly, Filia began chanting the `life is wonderful' song at full volume. Causing the ice lord's eyes to widen before he gave a little eck-like sound and then phase away.... though not before shouting something like `That's SO unfair!!!'

Zelas smiled, "Serves him right," she said as she nodded her head and watched the golden dragon regain her human appearance, "So Filia dear, is there something you need right now?"

"Well…" came the somewhat tired reply, "I wouldn't mind food.…" she glared towards the spo.t where the ice mazoku lord had once been, "I need a lil energy, just in case you-know-who comes back," she growled, making Xellos sweatdrop in his corner.

The Bestmaster didn't have time to respond to the blonde's petition, for Dolphin suddenly appeared out of nowhere and held a plate with what looked like food, "Food!!" she giggled, "I can cook food for Filia-chan! I can cook!!" she danced around the kitchen showing her plate of.… seaweed to everyone, "Yummy, yummy fishy food!"

Filia scooted over to the purple haired priest, "Is she as good a cook as you?" she whispered so that no one else would hear her, "Cause if she is, then.… <.< I'm not gonna eat it.…"

Xellos rubbed the back of his head, "Let's just say that Dolphin-sama has some… `Interesting' ideas when it comes to cooking," he laughed at her when he saw her pale visibly, "Don't worry, I'll get you REAL food in a secon-" he was interrupted by Dynast, who choose that exact moment to phase in.

"Actually, I'm the best cook here," he said smugly, watching the purple haired mazoku glare and send him a `who says' look.

"My Xelly can cook better than you *OR* Sherra any day," growled Zelas as she pointed towards the black haired mazoku, her bad mood suddenly restored when he had popped in, "Any day! Do you hear me?! ANY DAY!!"

The blond girl sweatdroped, knowing where this was going to lead to, as she watched Dynast glare back at Zelas, "No way, Zelas-chan! And I can prove it!! Let's have a contest me and that priest of yours, let the dragon be the judge, and please leave Sherra out of this.… she's not here is she?" he motioned towards Filia, "She can judge who makes the best plates."

The Beastmaster's priest smirked, "That would be no challenge.…" he said as he walked towards the ice mazoku lord, "I can beat you any day and anytime, with my eyes blindfolded," a sweatdrop ran down the back of his head when he realised what he had just said an WHO was going to have to taste the food, "Erm…. Err.…"

"Make that a challenge!" shouted Dynast as his smirk grew, winking an eye towards Xellos, "Fifi is going to have a lot of fun." He held out his hand for Xel to take, who gripped it tighter than he should have, frown across his face.

"ME?!" shrieked Filia as she waved her arms in the air, "Nuh-uh! I'm not gonna eat it! I just wanted normal food!" she turned to Dynast, vein popping in her forehead, "And do NOT call me Fifi! I'm NOT a dog!!"

The black haired mazoku ignored Filia's shouts, noticing Xellos' grip on his hand, "My, my.… nervous Xellos?"

Said mazoku raised an eyebrow, then grinned, his bangs covering his eyes as he let go of Dynast's hand, "Nah.… just concerned about what you might do to Zelas-sama's kitchen, that's all." He saw his opponent twitch slightly, but not for long.

"Or about what might happen when Fifi tries out our food, ne?" he said with wave of his hand, like trying to take importance off of the subject.

"AM NOT A DOG!!!" came Filia's shout again, which was again ignored by the ice mazoku lord, who shrugged, muttering `whatever' under his breath.

Dolphin came up to them, blinking, "Why don't you try each other's food? We can share ^0^ Yay!" she danced around them, still holding her plate of seaweed, however, the black haired mazoku smiled and held a sign for Deep Sea Dolphin to read; [Nope, the dragon's the one that's hungry, not me.…]. Once she read the sing, the blue haired girl's eyes suddenly widened and she dropped her seaweeds on the floor, gasping slightly, "NO!! Dolphin doesn't want Filia to go to sleep for ever! If Filia eat the food she'll go forever!!" she wailed, then abruptly stopped as she saw Zelas toss a little fish plush-doll at her, "Fishy!!" she sang, "And Dolphin will ride into the sunset!" and with this last comment she disappeared.

Everyone sweatdroped, except the Beastmaster, who turned towards Filia, "So it's food what you want, ne? That can be easily fixed without you having to taste Dynast's or Xelly's plates," she snapped her finger, making a buffet that would have made Lina herself proud appear before them, "Now I can try out my new weapon on Dynast.…"

"New weapon?" asked the black haired mazoku as he raised an eyebrow, "And what would that be?" his voice was confident, but he DID scoot away a few meters.

Filia didn't wait any later, she squealed, turning into a chibi version of her dragon form and practically dived into the buffet the silver haired lady had summoned, "Oh my GOD!!! FOOD!!!" she attacked the food whilst making squawk like noises.

The ice lord watched this with amusement gleaming in his eyes, "Tsk, tsk…. now that's what I call hungry," he turned to Xellos and gave shook his head at him, "Xellos.… shame on you! You almost let your toy starve to death!" he watched the purple haired priest look away, "You should…" he was cut off when he notice Zelas approach him with a cat-like grin on her face, whistling as she did so.

"La la la la.…"sang the silver haired lady as she positioned herself beside the black haired mazoku lord, clearly holding something behind her back, "Oh Dynast-kun? Dun worry about toys for the moment being, especially as you're MY toy!" she giggled as she pulled out a…. frying pan from it's hiding place behind her back, "Pan-sama wants to meet your acquaintance Dynast!! Say hallo to it!"

"HUH?! I'm no one's toy!" Dynast shouted back as he launched myself at Zelas, starting a cloud fight in seconds, "Who the hell do you think you are?!" clank like noises and hisses could be heard from the cloud fight, and Xellos watched sweatdroping as his master `played' with her toy.

Filia finished her meal and turned back to normal, smiling, she approaching the purple haired priest whilst liking her lip and rubbing her stomach, "Much better!" she turned to see the cloud fight and sweatdroped too, "They're at it again? God.… who do you thinks worse? Us or them?"

"Them" came Xel's reply as he motioned towards Beastmaster and Dynast, who were still fighting, "Without a doubt.… them."

Dynast voice could be heard, "You take this!!" followed be a mallet clank and a hiss.

"No! YOU take this!!" shouted Zelas back, bashing the black haired mazoku with her frying pan of death.

The blond shook her head in mock sorrow, then began pushing Xellos out of the kitchen, "Let's leave these two love birds alone.… let's go somewhere else, ok?" she watched the purple haired mazoku stifle a giggle as both Dynast and Zelas jumped out of the cloud fight simultaneously both of them with little neko ears and tails.

"I HEARD THAT!!!" they both shouted at the same time, then glared at each other, "Stop copying me!!" twitch and start yet another fight.

"Ano…. we better go," whispered Filia to Xellos, then turned back and sent a telepathic message to the Beastmaster {Zelas-sama? I believe that as he has a tail right now, you should pull on it ^-^} she saw the silver haired lady smirk as Xel phased her and himself to the astral garden.

"Mazoku lords can be.… interesting," he muttered whilst sweatdroping still, only to be interrupted by Dynast shriek `Oooooooow!! MY TAIL!!!' which could be heard from even the astral garden.

The blond by his side giggled, "Actually I think they're fun, I like them better than my elders," she winked an eye at the purple haired mazoku, then she motioned to their surroundings, "Say, do you have any more flowers? I'd like to see some more, please?" she could see him thinking over something, so she decided to make things easier for him, "Anything you like, I'll like, I suppose. Show me whatever you want."

The priest opened an eye at her, expression unreadable, "Well.… we could always go check out the Secret wish flowers and see how they are doing.…" he sighed, "How does that sound?"

"Oh! Those! Yes, please! It sounds fine to me!" she grabbed his arm, almost linking hers with his, "I'd love to see them again." And so, they began walking, or rather Xellos hovered and Filia walked. After a few seconds she pulled on his sleeve, "Xellos? Would you mind walking?"

At this, he blinked, looking confused, "Hmm?" however, he stopped hovering and began walking by her side, "As you wish.…" he said insecurely.

Satisfied with his response, the blond linked her arm around his and leaned her head on his shoulder as they walked, "Thank you.…" she whispered softly. Filia would have seen him blush ever so slightly if she would have looked up, but as she didn't, she missed it.

"Your welcome.…" came his hushed voice. In little they stood in front of the glass lined tunnel, ready to go in…

~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ (Meanwhile <.< Let's go check on the mazoku lords, ne?)

All three mazoku lords stood in the throne room again. Zelas having a wide grin across her face as she watched Dynast rub where his tail had bee, "Oh my, that was fun!" her grin broadened when the black haired mazoku shot her a death glare, "I don't know why I don't Invite you and Dolphin over here more often."

"Because you might kill us in the process?" growled the ice lord back as he humphed and turned his head to look away from the Beastmaster, "Women.…" he muttered under his breath.

Dolphin was simply skipping around the room, "Cotton candy! Chewy ice! ICE!!" she said in a sing song voice, drawing Dynast from his pout-sulk world.

"Eh?! Did you just say ice?" he said as his head snapped towards the blue haired girl, "Dolphin! Tell me where the ice is! Tell me!" he looked around himself, he couldn't see any ice anywhere, "Dolphin show Dynast where the ice is!"

The blue haired girl giggled and pointed to random directions, "The mustard, chewy ice is up the funny clock and twice around the square!" she said proudly making Dynast sweatdrop.

"Ooooook.…" he said as he shook his head, "I just LOVE Dolphin's indications…. if I ever get lost somewhere, please someone remind me to go ask Dolphin for indications," he failed to notice Zelas pointing at him with her frying pan till she shouted `I found you!' at the top of her lungs, making him sweatdrop harder than he already was, "Errm.… you must be real proud about having found me… since we've been in this room together for the last 20 minutes," however he DID back away a meter or so, "I think I'm going to…. Err.… go to bed right now. I didn't get much sleep last night."

The silver haired lady raised an eyebrow and lowered her pan, "Huh? Dynast…. we are mazoku, we don't require much sleep," she said as she waved a hand.

Dynast motioned towards a giggling Dolphin, and then pointed towards Beastmaster herself, "Even a mazoku would require sleep and rest if forced to stay around you two for more than two minutes.… and L-sama knows I've been here for a day and a half!" he sighed, "Enough to make even the strongest go insane."

"Oh fine.…" grumbled Zelas as she crossed her arms over her chest, "Be a party popper!" she shouted to him, mumbling something about him being old as she phased away, leaving the black haired mazoku alone with Dolphin.

The ice lord frowned, "Am not old.… <.< just tired of weird women!!!" he then began to phase away.

"Waaaaaai!! Dynie is gonna go have a nap! Dolphin come too!" she said as she glued herself around Dynast's waist just as he was teleporting to his room.

The black haired mazoku sweatdroped at the girl around his waist, "Dolphin can go to her bed now, Dynast needs to rest for a while, ok?"

"But DYNIE!! I want a huggle snugger!!" she wailed, letting go as she did so.

"But Dolphin!! I need to sleep!!" he answered back, imitating her sing song voice perfectly.

The blue haired girl looked around herself, "Dolphin want…. Err.…" she tried her hardest to think up something impossible for him to grant her, "Dolphin wants ….. PHIBBY back!!" she seemed quite pleased with herself as she nodded to herself, "Yes! Dolphin wants Phibby-kun back now!"

"Oh please Dolphin.…" he said as he dropped himself onto a bed and hid his head under a pillow, "Go bug…. Err.… play with Zelas, I'll play with you later," he then couldn't help but grin from under the pillow, "Go ask Zelas to revive Phibby." It didn't take long before he felt Dolphin disappear from the room and then hear Zelas' hysterical shouts from all the way on the other side of the castle.….

DFA: *Leaves it there* O.o Am a mean person, ne? <.< >.> Another cliffhanger…. *Scoots away silently* n.n;; I hate a pic of Zelas and a pic of Dyanst.… if anyone wanna see them, please give E-mail in review. (Priya-chan? I KNOW you wanna see tyhem, no need to give yours in review)
