Slayers Fan Fiction ❯ Another chance ❯ A proyect and a day off ( Chapter 3 )

Another chance

By: Dark angel

Dark angel: Hallo everyone! How's it going? I've been thinking… *Stops and rubs the back of her head* Yeah, I know, it's not good to think to much about things, but, hey! As I'm regarded as a fallen angle in heaven, I've got a bit of free time *Grins as she outstretches her wings* Anywaaaay, sorry for not updating this in a while, but my stupid brain wouldn't work right, it keeps on wanting me to write later chapters, but I can't do those unless I get this one finished, now can I? *Giggles* I finally got some inspiration from one of my friends, see if you like it!

Disclaimer: Hate disclaimers! I HATE them with all my soul! I really, REALLY do!! Why do people keep on wanting me to write them when everyone knows that I don't own the Slayers?! Dumb if you ask me… ¬_¬

Lunch time finished, and all the pupils returned to their respective classrooms as Filia walked along the corridor that lead to hers, shoulders drooping from the exhaustion of running around with her mace raised, trying to hit a certain someone, who had been put back on earth just for the sake of her annoyance… or so she thought so… dam Xellos! He could have chosen any school, or some other planet, for that matter, but noooo, he had to come back to her! Stupid destiny…

Said Person walked by Filia, smile plastered across his face, for he had won this battle, he had been able to outrun her, which was good, for it meant that he'd be able to take the chance to bug her some time later with the slight hope that he'd be able to escape from mace-sama justice force.

As both of them entered the room, Mitsy waved at them, "Hey, Fi, Xel-san! Where were you two? I've looked all around for you both! I couldn't find you!" she turned to smile at her blond friend as she occupied her place, "You weren't doing something bad, now were you?" she asked as she gained a naughty expression.

The auburn haired girl's efforts were rewarded when Filia suddenly stiffened and turned to glare at her, blush across her cheeks, "Mits, that's not funny, how could you think something like that? You know that I've never gone out with anyone…" the blond haired covered her mouth with her hands on noticing what she had just said, and turned to Xellos, finding him smirking for all he was worth, "I wonder why it's so, Fi-chan…" he said as he gained a thoughtful expression on his face, "You think it has something to do with the fact that you get violent so easily? People don't like to have there heads bashed in by a hysterical girl, you know…"

Filia raised herself from her seat, eyes flashing and steam coming out of her ears, "How DARE you! Stupid Namagomi mazoku! I'll kill you if I get the chance!" she shouted, gaining her classmate's attention, who all turned to stare at a fuming Filia and calm, seated Xellos, "You just wait!"

The purple haired boy smiled bitterly for once, "Yare, yare… see what I mean? If someone comes, with the intention of helping you correct a bad habit, you get killer ideas…" he suddenly winced as he continued, "And these always involve trying to hit me, for some reason, plus, it's not very nice to call someone `mazoku' you know… how would you feel if I called you that?" he asked as he looked at her, eyes open and serious for once.

Filia blinked, "I call you that `cause that's what you ARE, for crying out loud!" she said as she sat herself once more on her seat, a bit more calm, for Xellos' little speech did have some kind of truth to it, and she knew it. It was just that she couldn't stand his annoying mocks, for it hurt her when he mocked her, but why? She still didn't know the answer to that, though she had searched up and down her mind to find it.

After Dark star was killed and she took in Val's egg, he had kept on visiting them, Cepheid only knew why… but the trouble was, that she had gotten used to his visits, up to the point of actually worrying about him if he didn't visit often enough, though she wouldn't admit it to him, that for sure. Then… everything became dark…the disaster, the big war came. No one could have thought that the fighting between evil and good could cause the end of the world, but it had… not a single being survived the massacre that both sides caused. The Dragons talked about purification, while the mazoku talked about revenge, however, to Filia, it had all been the same… death, blood battle, and immense pain and damage. They destroyed everything, and she didn't have the chance to say good bye…

That bitter feeling struck Filia suddenly again as she looked into his amethyst gaze… `Won't forgive you…' she thought to herself as looked away, `You left, and I wasn't able to say good bye…'

Xellos raised an eyebrow as he watched her sit down once more and look into space with that far away expression again. He knew what she had to be thinking about; The War… yes The War, in capital letters, for it had been the biggest and most horrible. He didn't know what caused it in the first place, all he knew was that it started all of a sudden, and that it could not be stopped… what he couldn't have predicted was the incredible damage caused… the whole world, everyone dead. What good was it to win a war if there was no one to live of from, nor to live for? Yes… those kinds of thoughts were the ones that had cost him his life, and even so, he still didn't get to say good bye… when he had reached her, it had been too late… to late for him, and too late for her.

The teacher came in, and everyone's attention switched from their previous source of distraction to the box their tutor carried in his hands, which he put on his table after smiling at his pupils, "Today we are going to do a very fun project, class, you see…"

He was cut off as the class gave several groans of protest, pupils actually glared at him, which made him sweatdrop.

"What? Gee… I said it was going to be fun, not a torment, for heaven's sake!" he said as he smiled at them, "As all of you are sixteen, more all less, I've decided that you need to learn to take responsibilities. That's why I'll let you have tomorrow Thursday as a day off, so that you can carry out the assignment I've thought up for you."

The students looked up with interest, a day off! Now THAT was interesting, very interesting… where was the trap? What were they gonna have to done in order to have a day off? The teacher had said that it was something fun… which probably meant it was difficult, to say the least.

The teacher smiled wider, he had their full attention, this happened very rarely (I mean, how many of you can actually recall a time when the WHOLE class is paying attention to the teacher? I can't ^-^ ) He opened the box and brought out a egg, holding it so that everyone could see it, "The task is that you have to go in pairs and take care of this egg as if it were your son or daughter. So that the pairs are boy/girl, I've put a few numbers in these pieces of paper; each girl will take a pink one, while each boy will take a blue one. The boy and girl who get the same number on their paper will go together. Ah, and don't even think about leaving the egg in a locker or buying another one, for these are very special eggs. You see?" he asked as he showed them one, which he opened, revealing it as mechanic, "They are not real, and will record how much time they spend in the hands of a person, not to mention that they will record if they get dropped, they even emit a crying noise if they are ignored for too long, which they'll also record, of course. Soooo… don't even think about it."

All the pupils came to the front and grabbed each a paper, then sat down once more, as their teacher began to shout out numbers, to see who would go with whom.

Filia looked at her number; twelve… she liked that number; you could call it her lucky number. She smiled as she thought about what she would do the next day, sighing in contentment on having a free day. However, her happy-like state didn't last long, for when the teacher shouted out twelve, the one who answered with her was none other than Xellos.

The blond shot her head towards Xellos, and his smile was the last thing she saw before she fainted…
