Xellos sat, perturbed upon his mount. He had been tracking the elusive vixen for some time and now it seemed she had escaped his grasp, permanently. She had fallen, broken through the ice, and was lost to him forever.

"Damn it Lina! Why'd you die on me!" he growled in frustration. Strangely enough, his thirst for conquest of the firey maid did not abate for one second. He grew even more determined to claim his vivicious prey, even if it ment dealing with the devils to do so. 'Lina.. you Will be mine!' he vowed, 'Some how.'

Young Phibrizo Uld Metallium lounged, grumpily, on the small sofa, snorting as his sister paced before him, cursing gentiliy.

"This is all your fault Phibby!" Sylfiel spat, "you drove her away from me! I'll never forgive you for this!"

"Oh PLEASE!" he sneared with disdain, "as if I did everything! I played a few humerous pranks on her, which she Always paid back in full, and suddenly I'M the villain in this story? I think not!"

Sylfiel huffed, refusing to listen to his reasoning. "it was probably both you are our dearest brother that scared her off. I swear, i've never witnessed a more ludicrous sight than that of the two of you pining over the same strawberry tart!" he snickered.

"We Are Ment For Each Other!" Syfiel cracked, as she turned, fists shaking with rage, to her sibling.

"HA! Like Ravens and Doves are ment for each other!" Phibby mocked cruely. "Wake up sweet sister! You're living in a stupid fantasy that's Never going to come true."

"You'll see!" Sylfiel raged, "I'll find her! And together we will be!" and stormed away.

Phibrizo sighed, "Fool.." he muttered, at a loss at how to digest his family's growing insanity.

Lina snuggled deeper into her sweet prince's embrace. She would be happy to lay here forever, sleeping, wrapped lovingly in Zel's arms. Well so she thought until a violent wake up call nearly gave them both heart attacks.

"EEEEEEEYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" a shrill girl's voice shattered the air apart with its youthfull volume.

The once happily dozing couple jumped awake and gawked at the screaming child. "Wh.. wha?"

"AAAHHHHHH!!! Big Brother!!!" the petite miss cried, "there's a THING in your bed!" she said pointing directly at Lina.

"HEY!" Lina snarled, offended by the 'thing' comment.

"Amelia, calm down. This is Lina, not a 'thing'." Zelgadis muttered in his half sleepy half grumpy tone.

"but its in your Bed! WHAT'S IT DOING THERE!? And.. what's a LIna anyway!? Sounds like some horrible type of creature!" she continued.

"I'm human you spoiled brat!" Lina growled ready for a fight.

"eeewwwww!" Amelia crowed disgusted.

Zelgadis lunged, catching Lina before she could tear his little sister's throat; even if he did feel so inclined to do it himslef, the Queen would Not be pleased.

"You still haven't said what she's doing in your bed Big Brother! Or why you had your hand up her skirt..."

"WHAT!!!" Lina shouted, turning on the red faced prince.

"Ah.. i didn't do.. well I don't remember.. Ahh! i was Alseep! it doesn't count!" Zlegadis sputtered, setting her free by accident.

lina took the opening to once again attempt bodily harm upon the annoying princess, only to be foiled by Zeladis once more.

"Lina if you kill her, the Queen will kill me!" he pleaded.

"So you deserve it for taking aadvantage of me like that!" Lina snorted.

"oh like you're soo innocent!" Amelia sneered, "then why were Your hands one Big Brother's Bottom!?"

Lina blushed the shade of her hair and stammered, "W..well like you said Zel, Asleep... doesn't count.."

"Hmph! Whatever!" Amelia said snottily.

"Amelia! that's enough! i wont have you treat Lina like that!" Zelgadis scolded.

Amelia was shocked then repentative. "I appologise, Miss. Lina." She bowed. "Forgive my un-warented predujdiced reaction to your un-expected presence in my once celebet brother's bed."

Both prince and human burned with embarrassment. "ITS NOT LIKE THAT!!!" they shouted in their defence, "We're Just Friends!"

"First pair of friends i've ever seen that groaped each other like that." Amelia snorted quietly.

"What was that sister?"

"Nothing!" Amelia chimed, inocently.

"I'll bet.." Lina muttered, only to be interupted by her growling stomach. A hungry growl that was promptly answered by a similar sound from Zelgadis.

"Oh Right!" Amelia exclaimed, "That's why i came! Breakfast!"

"Alright! FooD!" Lina copied

Zel smiled softly, a sight which shocked his sister into a statuesque silence. "Hmm.. guess i should.. get dressed, then."

"Awn.." Lina teased making his face pinken becomingly and his smile widen.

"EEEEEEYYYYYYAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Amelia screached once more. The duo stared at her confused as she dashed out of the room calling for her mother. "MOTHER!! YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE THIS!!"

"Umm.. what was That all about?" Lina asked.

"I don't know." Zel answered.

Amelia careened full speed around the corner, nearly crashing into her Queen Mother. "Mother! mother! You'll never believe what i just saw! Never in a million billion eons, Mother!"

The Snow Queen chuckled bemused at her young daughter. "What is it child?" she asked.

"Mother! see.. i was going to wake up Big Brother, and he was groaping this lina in his sleep, and she was squeasing his tushy too, and then i screamed cause i've never seen that before, especially with big Brother, and then they woke up and the Lina tried to attack me twice! and she tried to attack Big Brother when i said how he was feeling up up and the second time she attacked me i told them how she was doing the same to him. They got reeeaaallly red then and then they said they were just friends and stuff but they were like hugging and blushing and Big brother was like almost naked so i didn't believe them, BUT MOTHER!!! I swear i'm not lying! I saw big brother smile! twice even! I bet that Lina did somthing to him!" she bubbled out with childish enthusiasm.

The Snow Queen was taken aback with amasement. 'My, my. So I was right. This IS interesting!' she mused. "So my dear sweet prince is finaly blooming into a young man."

"MoThEr!" Amelia gasped, the Queen just chuckled.

Soon enough Lina and Zelgadis arrived for breakfast. "So nice of you two to join us!" The Queen teased, making both Lina and Zel blush some, and glare at Amelia.

"WHAAAT?" Amelia complained, "I wasn't the one caught snuggling with my clothes off!"

"SHUDDAP!!"

The red faced couple continued to eat their morning meal, dispite the continued teasing from the little princess. The Queen watched on amused outwardly, though inwardly she grew more and more concerned with every blush, smile, nd shy glance the prince graced the firey human with. 'A plaything is acceptable but was i foolish enough to think her harmless? Bed he can,' she thought sourly, 'to his heart's content, and with my blessing.. but should he loose his heart.. She Shall loose Her Head.'

Xellos deposited the weary, rundown nag with the stable hands, who tisked at the sorry broken condition of the once noble steed. He walked into the manner house like a dark foreboding cloud of distruction, and burst into the dayroom, carelessly, surprising both his older and younger siblings.

"have a CARE, brother!" Phibrizo cursed as he settled back onto the divan.

"Xellos really.." rattled off his sister before he intrupted by blurting out a curt "She's Dead."

"Wh.. what?" Sylfiel gasped.

"Our darling Lina is Dead! Fallen and drowned in the icey waters of no return." Xellos explained and watched with sadistict amusement as the last twist of sanity broke within his fragil sister's mind.

Phibrizo rose and left his dangerous family alone. "They are Both mad." he stated to no one, wandering down the halls to his own private chambers. "Who knows what hell they'll raise and what they'll do now, but i'll have no part in it. IF anything, you showed me i had a soul Inverse." collapsing upon his bed, he sighed up at the purple canopy. 'you were great sport Lina. I mourn your passing.' and with that final thought, he drifted off to sleep.
