Slayers Fan Fiction ❯ Another chance ❯ Xel's chance! ( Chapter 6 )

Another Chance

By: Dark fire angel

Dark angel: Just finished a Maths exam! I'm soooo happy I think I'm gonna dance for joy! *Does just that, round and round the room, until she notices people watching her* Humm... sorry about that, it's just that... I'm hyper today!! ^0^ Yayness above! And the best thing to do when one is hyper is to update *Giggles*

Xellos: *Suddenly appears out of nowhere* Oh no… she's hyper!! Everyone hide! Run for your life! *Runs around, waving hands and being hysterical*

Dark angel: *Giggles and smiles* Don't worry Xel-kun… you're not the one to be embarrassed in this chapter!

Xellos: *Stops and stares at DA* Really? That means Fi-chan won't hit me or call me Namagomi? *Eyes wide with hope* Goody!!

Dark angel: *Waggles finger while smirking* Actually I think you're gonna like this chapter… you'll see why later ^-^

Xellos: *Turns chibi and starts to clap hands as he dances* Yay! Finally! *Runs off to find out why he's gonna like the chapter* n_n

Disclaimer: Oh yeah... almost forgot about this... *Winces* I think disclaimers are about the only thing capable of getting on you when you're hyper. However, for the sake of Law, I will say it; I do NOT own the Slayers... *Pouts and grumbles* Otherwise there wouldn't be 3 miserable seasons *Evil smile* There would be much, MUCH more! *Snicker* ^-

The morning breeze blew across the lonesome street as only one person walked along it, said wind making her long, golden hair swirl around her as she yawned, attempting to maintain herself awake, so as not to trip and fall or something.

Filia lowered her gaze to the egg-thingy she held in between her hands and glared at it, "Stupid thing..." she muttered as she continued to walk, "It's five o clock in the morning and I should be in bed, sleeping soundly, but nooooo! You wouldn't shut up! You wailed during the whole night long!!" the blond let out a growl as she continued, "Mum and Dad asked me to please go outside! I was thrown out of MY house because of you!!"

It was true... Lil had been wailing all night long. It had been a horrible experience the ex-Dragon hoped she wouldn't have to repeat, or so she thought as she continued to glare at the egg, shaking her head as she did so, "Damn Xellos too... I should have given Lil to him tonight. I needed to rest, but I couldn't!!" she practically yelled as she checked the number of the houses she passed by, in an attempt to find Xellos'.

"Number 12... number 12..." Filia looked at the piece of scrap paper where the ex-mazoku had scribbled his address, "Where the hell is it?"

Even though she was sleepy, the blond managed to make it to nº 12, and she stared at the door of... a bakery shop? This couldn't be correct... the ex-Dragon stared first at the shop, and then back at her scrap piece of paper, which had Xel's fancy handwriting on it, and then back at the shop, "I hope this ain't another of your dumb jokes Xellos," she murmured as she opened the door to go inside, "I also hope that you're awake... after all, you DID say I could came early..."

The moment she was inside, she was greeted by a cheerful black haired lady, "May I help you?" she asked as she smiled and wiped her hands on a cloth, "It's nice to see children who like to start their day early! You know what they say; the early bird gets the worm!"

Filia sweatdropped as she neared the counter, 'I wouldn't be up so early if it hadn't been for the stupid egg...' she thought, "Humm... I'm looking for someone named Xellos, do you happen to know him? He told him I could find him here... though I'm not sure why I doubt it."

The lady smiled wider, "Of course I know him, after all, it's my son you're talking about!" she said, "And you must be Filia. Xel said you'd be coming in, though he didn't say you'd drop by so early..."

She was cut off by a tall, also black haired man around his twenties, "He didn't say you were so beautiful, either," he said as he neared her, "Hello, pleasure to meet you, I'm Sam, Xelly's older brother." the man reached and kissed Filia's hand, while the poor girl blinked in disbelief.

Suddenly the ex-dragon felt herself being pulled away from the black-haired man, and she turned to find Xellos, holding her behind him, as if trying to protect her, while he glared, eyes opened and fangs bared at his older brother, "Get away from her! Leave Fi-chan alone!" he growled, "You are NOT allowed to touch her! Let alone kiss her!"

Sam lifted an eyebrow and shook his head, "My, my Xelly... control your temper, I was only introducing myself to such beauty!" he said as he smiled again, "Don't worry I'm not gonna hurt her or anything."

The ex-mazoku growled again, "We both know that you were trying to flirt with her, and don't call me Xelly!!" he panted a little as he continued to glare, "Fi-chan is mine! Ok? Not yours! Now leave her alone!!"

Filia continued to blink in disbelief as she watched both brothers fight, for it struck her a lot to see the purple haired boy growling and snarling... she had never seen him like this before... not in her previous life, not in this one, "Humm... Xellos? Are you ok?" she asked him as she sweatdroped a little, "Want me to come later? I'll do it is if necessary..." however, she couldn't help but yawn, lack of sleep apparent.

It took Xellos a few seconds to react, "Oh... no, don't worry, Sam was about to leave right now!" he glared back at his brother in a leave-or-else way, "Right Sam?" to which the older man nodded, smile never leaving his face as he waved goodbye and exited the shop, "Sure!" Bye, bye Filia-san! Hope to see you later!"

The lady behind the counter neared Fi and Xel as she shook her head, "Xellos, dear... you shouldn't fight with your brother, you know that," she turned to look at the blond who was blushing slightly, "Here," she handed a cupcake towards her, "Take it, I'm sure you haven't had breakfast, am I right?" and after this, the lady was gone.

As the blond finished her cupcake, she saw the ex-mazoku smile for the first time since she had seen him that morning, "Humm… I'm afraid your mum was right… I haven't had time to do anything… I had to rush out of my house `cause of a problem I had," she glared down at Lil as she continued, "Xellos… the stupid egg didn't let me sleep tonight…" she half wailed as she turned to look at him, "I'm sleepy! And I'm tired! And I wanna go to beeeeeed!!"

The purple haired boy sweatdroped when she flung herself to him, "There, there Fi-chan… I think that the lack of sleep has affected your brain. Do have you the slightest idea of just WHO you're hugging?" he asked as he patted her head and smirked, "Boy… my realm for a photograph of this Kodak moment…"

Filia suddenly came to her senses and she let go of him, "Oops… sorry… it's just that… I'M TIRED!! AND I WANNA GO TO BED!!" she again reattached herself around him to sob, "Stupid egg! My parents threw me out of MY house `cause it wouldn't shut up!!"

Xellos blinked down at her and smirked even wider, `I could get used to Fi-chan being like this,' he thought to himself as he stroked her long hair, `I never actually had the chance to touch her silky hair… it's beautiful…' he smiled when he noticed that she had actually fallen asleep whilst standing, "Filia? Fi-chan? You asleep?"

When he didn't receive an answer, he shrugged and lifted her off of the ground and into his arms, "You DO need some sleep, don't you?" he chuckled as he took her into his room to lay her down in his bed, "You can use my bed… though I doubt you'll thank me when you wake up!" he lowered himself to plant a soft kiss on her forehead, "Sleep tight," he took Lil away from her as he continued, "And don't worry, Lil won't wake you up `cause I'm taking her… see you in little while." And with that, he got up and left the smiling blond haired girl to sleep in a comfortable, warm bed…

Dark angel: Yayness above! I finished the chapter!! ^0^ I'm happy!! And I'm still hyper!! I'm gonna go do something else while I still am!! Bye! *Waves hand and leaves dancing* Yayness above!!
