Faith's secret

By: Dark fire angel

Dark angel: Finals are so close I can even touch them… man, can't wait till June the 17th, that's when my finals end! ^0^ And I'll get to have the whole summer to do anything I whish!! I'm so exited! Anyhow… `cause I can't seem to continue with my other fic for the moment being, (Damn writer's block T-T) I'll continue this one. I've got a good idea of how to continue, and as I have study leaf and can't study the WHOLE day, I decided to take a rest and update! ^-^ Oh! By the way, I've been asked questions, which I'm gonna answer *Big smile* First of all, Filia is supposed to have gone back in time or something… she is supposed to be five years old, and with such an age she didn't know Xel yet. Second, the boy in the drawing will be explained later on so don't worry ^-^ and thirdly, about the snake biting Xelly… you'll have to continue reading!

Disclaimer: God… do I really have to? *People around her nod, much to Dark angel's displeasure* Why? I don't wanna… *People murmur something about `Jail' and `Prison', making Dark angel wince visibly* `K! `K!! Slayers don't belong to me! Geez… I'm sure everyone is aware of it, so why the hell do I have to keep on saying it? *Sulks in a corner*

The sun continued to shine as Xellos watched the drawing in his hands and Filia smiled up at him, unaware of the enormous shock it had caused him to acknowledge that the little Golden dragon had had weird dreams involving someone remarkably similar to him in her childhood.

Xellos finally came out of his trance and shook his head, "Fi… mind if I keep this drawing? It's very well done indeed." He asked her as he stood up once more, noticing that it might be time to give his Dragon something to eat.

The girl's smile grew even wider, thankful that Xel-sama liked her masterpiece, "Of course not! I did it for you! As a thank you for being so nice to me!" she hugged him as he continued, "I don't care what everyone says about mazokus at home… I like you," she looked up at him for a moment, "You know what my parents and elders said when I showed them a drawing like the one I showed you? When I told them that I dreamed about the boy in the drawing?"

Xel's eyes widen once more, she had showed them a drawing like this one? Wow… he would have given anything to see their faces, `Anything…' thought the mazoku as he shook his head in response to her previous question, "No, I've no idea. What did they do to you, Fi-chan?"

The little dragon released him and frowned, "They told me to never draw such a thing ever again," she muttered in a low voice, "And then they began to teach me weird stuff about mazokus, they told me that they were dangerous, never to be trusted. They said one had almost annihilated the Golden dragon race single-handed. They told me lots of things, and … I don't know why, but they seemed frightened of me… frightened of my dreams," she suddenly brightened up, "But I don't care anymore! I'm happy now! I won't listen to them, everyone should be allowed to think what they want, and I like mazokus! They're more fun than Dragons!! Yay!"

Xellos smiled once more as he watched her get up and dance around, clapping her hands as she did so. So trouble-free… wasn't she? Incredible, he was going to have to investigate about those dreams of hers at the Dragon sanctuary later. The mazoku couldn't help but smirk in anticipation, "Fi-chan, are you hungry? I think it might be a wise idea to have some lunch, and after, we can go visit your sanctuary together. How's that for a plan?" he asked her when he picked her up, pocketing her drawing into his cloak as he did so.

Filia cheered and clapped her hands some more while she giggled, "Food! Hungry! Yay!" she shouted for all to hear, "Then I'll get to see the sanctuary again! And I wont be alone `cause Xel-sama will be with me!!" the little girl swished her tail from side to side and laughed in amusement, leaving her pains and worries elsewhere for the meantime.

With that, Xellos chuckled and phased out of the cheerful park, in the hopes of finding a restaurant somewhere near.

After lunch, the purple haired priest and the little blond girl stepped out of their eating place, both licking ice cream cones away, for they hadn't been able to resist the temptation of pulling off the ice cream joke once more in an attempt to get more of the cold, yummy food <Neither would I mind you, I love eating ice cream in summer! So good ^0^ Yup!!>

Filia suddenly noticed a couple in a not-so-far-off corner of the street as she continued to eat her dessert. Funny… the boy and girl seemed to be doing something which involved putting their faces very, VERY close together, `What are they doing? It seems fun…' she thought as she peered over at the couple, `I wanna take a closer look..' and so, she skipped along and got near enough to make out words like `Love' and `Valentine's day' or something like that…

The little dragon cocked her head to one side as she swished her bowed tail from side to side… what did Valentine mean? She had never heard about it in the sanctuary, and it looked fun, for the young couple seemed to be enjoying themselves a lot as they continued to do the `mouth thingy', like Filia had decided to call the strange thing they had been doing for the past few moments.

`Don't they need to breathe or something? Whoa… they're gonna dye if they continue like that.' She thought as she sucked her thumb and blinked at the couple, who didn't seem to notice that they had an audience watching their activities.

Her thoughts were interrupted when Xellos poked her shoulder, making the little girl whirl around to find him looking at her with an eyebrow raised, "What do you think you're doing?" he asked her as he opened an eye to half glare at her, "Fi-chan, you shouldn't go about running around without me knowing. I didn't know were you where, what would I have done if my favorite Dragon were to be killed?" he finished, expression relaxing considerably into his normal, eye closed smile when she smiled up at him contently.

The little Golden dragon giggled and pointed to the couple, "I was watching them, don't you think they're funny? What are they doing Xel-sama?" she asked as he picked her glancing over at the boy and girl the Golden dragon had been watching a few seconds ago, while said Dragon continued to plead, "I wanna know! Please tell me! They look like they're having fun!! Pleasy, pleasy please, Xeeeeeeeel-sama!!" Filia tugged on his cloak now as he turned to look back down at her.

The mazoku sweatdropped heavily; how to explain this to the little innocent Dragon without getting too technical? "Hum… you see. Fi-chan… humans do weird things sometimes, and this is one of them," he stopped when Filia continued to look at him with pleading eyes, "They're… hum…doing something called kissing… you wouldn't understand, I'll explain it to you some other day." he said in a low whisper, causing the little girl to cock her head to one side.

"Oh, ok. What's Valentine's Day? They mentioned that before doing the `mouth thingy'," she said to him as he carried her away, "I've never heard of Valentine's day… I wanna know what it is too!!" she giggled when the mazoku carrying her sweatdropped even more. <if possible… imagine having to explain to a five year old who's never been out of a sanctuary all of this! I'd love to see Xelly try!! ^-~ Go Xelly! Go!>

He suddenly took off flying, carrying Filia as a passenger, "Valentine? Well… it's a day when humans go nuts and decide that they lov… lo… CARE for everyone else! That's it! And they give roses or chocolates to the one they care most about." By now poor Xellos was really struggling, it wasn't the most common thing for a mazoku to talk about such stuff, and it was quite difficult for him.

The Dragon girl smiled and nodded, "I get it! Kawaii! I wanna do it too!! I'd give you something for Valentine's Day, `cause you're my friend!!" she giggled as she continued, "Who would you give a present to Xel-sama?"

The mazoku suddenly smirked as he stopped in mid-air, "My, my, Fi-chan! You should know the answer to that by now, don't you think?" he opened an eye at her as he wagged a finger in front of her, "Sore wa…" he began, only to be interrupted by his passenger, who adopted a pose similar to his; one eye open and the other closed as she wagged her own finger at him, "Himitsu desu!!" She finished for him, giggling and smiling as she did so.

"Yup! You learn fast Fi-chan!" he chuckled as they continued their way towards the sanctuary, to try and find out about the little Golden dragon's dreams.
