Another chance

By: Dark fire angel

DFA: *Glare-of-death at computer* My comp has been mean to me… real mean ¬_¬ It wouldn't let me even open windows!! *Drops to the floor to sob*

Val: *Rolls eyes and pats DFA on back* There, there Angel-san… Mr. Comp is still not feeling better… but your daddy lent you his to write, so where's the problem?

DFA: *Blinks and smiles* You're right!! *Stands and does a justice pose* No one in earth, heaven or hell is able to keep me away from my internet daily fun!!! Humph! Lousy computer!!

Val: *Sweatdrops as he whispers at readers* Don't take her seriously… she's been without her dear comp for 4 days… she drove me mad…

DFA: *Continues justice speech*

Val: *BIG sweatdrop* Yeah, well, Angel-san doesn't own the Slayers, so don't sue her, `cause I'm afraid that all you'll get will be a bunch of fanart and a computer with a great big tendency to crash…

DFA: I heard you!!

Val: But it's true! That's all you own!!

DFA: *Drags Val out* … No need to say it though…

The night air was cold as Filia walked down the streets towards her home thinking over the day's events, smiling as she did so. Nice and interesting day it had been, not to mention that the night had been way better, for right after the karaoke, Xellos had insisted that both of them go back to his home; his mother had baked a cake for them to have as dessert… with no sugar, opting for saccharine instead (We wouldn't want a bouncy Filly again, now wouldn't we? ^-" Poor Xelly-kun otherwise, ne?).

The blond couldn't help it, she shivered when the cold breeze twirled around her, and she hugged herself in an attempt to maintain warm. When her gaze descended towards her sweater and she blushed intensly, memories going back to right after the karaoke, when both the ex-dragon and the ex-mazoku had walked towards the bakery, in hopes of eating the cake that was awaiting them…

" - " - " - " - " (Flashback… walking back… ^-^ Together…)

They had decided to walk across the park, for at night the trees blocked the light of the moon almost entirely, making it look lots like a forest, and so reminding them of the good old times…

"Good old times… yeah right!" Said Filia as she glared at Xellos who had began talking and grinning at Fi in an attempt to amuse her, "Those were not `good' old times, Mr. Smarty… you always teased the hell out of me!! You always… always… arg!!" she waved her hand in the air while her purple haired companion chuckled.

"You're talking in past tense Fi-chan…" he commented as he waggled his finger at her, winking an eye and revealing his amethyst pupil to her, "Does that mean you don't think like that about me anymore?"

The blond blinked for a moment, blushing intensely after realising just what she had said. Immediately after, Xellos smirked wider and pulled out a little booklet from his pocket writing something down as he gazed at her through the corner of a semi-closed eye, "What the hell are you writing?" asked Filia as she attempted to grab the booklet, "Stop writing!! I wanna see!!! Let me see!!!"

What the poor ex-dragon didn't see was that the park pond was right behind her target, and so, when she launched herself at him, she grabbed the piece of desired writing, but… it also sent them both straight into the freezing water for an undesired night bath… (Teehee, Xelly and Filly are wet!! ^0^)

Xellos blinked and coughed then blinked again, "I'm wet… Fi-chan!!" he turned to her and found her reading his booklet, "Hey! It's not nice to read one's diary!! Gimme that!!" he grabbed it back and humphed for a second before he suddenly burst out laughing, "My, my Fi-chan!You should see yourself! You're wet and… and… WET!!"

Filia's turn to blink now, moments later she too burst out laughing, "You think I look bad? You should see yourself Xellos! Your hair is soaking and flat against your head! It's… wish I could hand you a mirror!!" she continued to giggle whilst she pointed at him.

"Well… at least I'm not sitting on a duck," he snickered when Filia jumped out of the pond with an eck, glaring at him when she noticed there was no such duck.

"Namagomi! That's dirty!!" she continued to glare daggers at him as he pulled himself out of the water too, "Meany… always playing tricks on me…" finished the blond off as she crossed her arms over her chest in a clear act of annoyance.

Xellos grin smugly, "It was either trick you into jumping out of the pond or having you catch a pneumonia… and we wouldn't want that, now would we?" his grin widened when she turned away from him, "And talking about pneumonias… if we don't take you to my house and get you changed, you'll be sure to catch one…"

And with that, they hurried back to the ex-mazoku's home, where they changed into some dry clothes. And so, that was how Filia ended up waking home in Xel's clothes. (>.> I wanna wear Xelly-chan's clothes too… *Wimper* No fair… >.<)

" - " - " - " - " (Back in reality, sha la la la!!)

Cold wind still rushed past, and although her clothes weren't wet anymore, her hair was, making the poor ex-dragon chatter her teeth, "Damn it… it's cold!!" she snuggled more into her clothes in an attempt to stop shivering, however, to no avail, "I wanna reach home now!!!"

Filia continued to walk, until her doorsteps came into view. It took Fi no more a sec to cross the street and squeal in delight as she opened the door, "I'm back!!!" she yelled as she ran past her parents and into her room, leaving them once to sweatdrop at the human hurricane that was their daughter.

"BED!!!" she threw herself on said piece of furniture once she entered her room, "God, I'm sleepy…" she said to no one in particular as she half closed her eyes, in order to rest them, "And tonight I'll get to sleep without that stupid egg thingy waking me up…" sleep won it's battle and the blond closed her eyes completely allowing her to dream dreams she didn't even know existed in the depths of her mind.

~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ (And morning came, of course… >.>)

"LATE!!! I'M LATE!!! DAMN IT!!!" wild cries could be heard as Fi rushed around her house in an attempt to reorganise all the stuff she needed for school whilst her mother shook her head at her, "Momma? Why didn't you wake me up?! Now I'm late! Gah!"

Her mother waved a hand a hand at her, "I'm sorry Filly, but when I went into your room to wake you, I see you asleep on dressed and all… I didn't have the heart to wake you up," She smiled as she saw her daughter rush downstairs, "I took a picture of you sleeping like that!" she yelled after the ex-dragon, "You looked so cute all curled up and hugging yourself that I just HAD to!!"

Filia sweatdropped as she ran into the kitchen to grab her toast, rushing past her dad as she did so, "Hallo dad!! Bye dad!! I'm late!!" she yelled at him as she jumped out of the kitchen window and into the lawn, leaving her father to shake his head at her.

Once the blond reached the school grounds, she stopped to catch her breath, smiling as she did so, "Ha!! I made it! Yes, I'm the best!!" she looked around herself and spotted Mitsy a few meters away, "Mits! Hey! Why didn't you wait for me?" asked Fi as she ran up to her best friend.

The auburn haired girl blinked for a second and then smiled, "Sorry, your mum told me that you were asleep when I went by your house, she said you'd be coming later," she stopped and looked behind Filia, a confused look on her face when she once again face the blond, "Where is he? He's not with you…"

"Huh? Who?" asked the ex-dragon as she cocked her head to one side, "Who's not with me? I dun get it…"

Mitsy continued to look around, "Him… Xellos-san… I thought I'd find him with you, I've been looking for him for some time and can't find him? Where is he, Fi?" she said as she used one of her hands to block the sun's rays in attempt to find the missing boy.

"Xellos? He's not here?" Filia blinked in confusion, "He should be…" suddenly a thought struck her, "ECK!!! He's got Lil!! He's got the stupid egg!! If he doesn't show up with it I'll be in trouble!!"

"Gee… thanks for worrying about me, Fi-chan… >.>" said a tired voice from behind.

When the two girls turned, they found a very tired looking Xellos holding Lil and trying to drown yawn after yawn in vain, "Uuuff… this egg has been whining it's head off for HOURS!! It woke me up in the middle of the night," he said as he half glared tiredly at Lil, "Here, you take care of it for a while, Fi-chan, I'm tired… *Yawn* to hell of it… *Yawn* I think I'll go to the bathroom to through some water on my eyes.. *Yawn* See you two in class…" He half-walked, half-dragged himself away, leaving Fi and Mitsy to sweatdrop and go into class.

DFA: DONE!!! *Coo* I finished a chapter!! *Stops* How much time since I last updated? *Checks calendar and sweatdrops heavily* Hummm… oops… >.< shouldn't have looked >.> *Sneaks away before anyone decides to kill her for not updating*
