navy = flashback
Rose woke up in the Inn where they had stayed the night. The sun came pouring in the window as she yawned and streched. She had been with the group for a month now. Not bad really. She liked the company actually. She hadn't really been close to anybody ever since she left her father. She sneered. Not wanting her thoughts to drift to that asshole.
She got up and started to get dressed as she heard Amelia stir in the bed that they had to share thanks to the shortage of rooms. She sighed and said, "Morning Amelia. Sleep well?"
Amelia rubbed her eyes and looked at her, "Very well, thank you. Did you? I heard you crying in your sleep again. You never tell me why though." Amelia gave her a worried look.
Rose just simply smirked and answered, "Just bad dreams Amelia. You live long enough, you get a lot of them," looks away and whispers, "Too many of them really."
Amelia didn't hear her and started to get dressed, not wanting to push her to far, but curious to know what the nightmares have been about. They both finished getting out of their night clothes and into their regular outfits. They came downstairs and Rose took a seat on the side of the table as Amelia took one across from her. Soon after Rose sat down she felt a very familiar power behind her.
Without even turning around Rose rolled her eyes and said, "Good morning Xellos. You can stop trying to sneak up on me every morning," she looked up as the waiter came in front of her, "Oh, can I please have a coffee with sugar?"
The waiter nodded and turned to Amelia as she ordered almost everything; getting Lina's food so she won't have to wait on it.
Xellos sat down next to Rose and said, "Nothing surprises you anymore does it my dear?"
Rose snerred for the second time that day already and said, "Stop calling me my dear. I'm not your nothing." She knew that was a mean statement, but the truth hurts.
Xellos just continued to smirk and whispered to her, "For now at least."
Rose streched, making sure to whack Xellos upside his head, "Don't even start with me this morning Xellos."
Soon, they were joined by all the others. Regular morning. Lina fought Gourry for the food, Amelia got what she could, Firia sighed and drank her tea, Xellos just smirked, and Zel and Rose sipped their coffee slowly.
Then, right after that, they ventured off into the new day that usually brought treasure, food, speeches, and of course, more and more bandits. Rose walked behind the group a lot, liking to stick to herself. Unfortuantly, she wasn't alone for long.
"Good day Rose! Why do you stray all the way behind us? It would seem like you don't like us anymore," Xellos said, smirking and looked down at her as he floated above her.
Rose ignored him and kept walking. She had had many very close calls with Xellos in the past, so she wasn't ready to deal with them now. Not at all. She looked back up at him and said in a voice that he had known all to well to leave her alone, "Xellos. Please." It was a simple request that he understood.
He floated back over to Lina and the rest of them. Lina looked back at him as he landed next to them and walked along, not saying a word as the smirk fell from his face.
Lina cocked her head and said, "So, what is her deal?"
Xellos just shook his head, eyes open and said almost in a whisper, "She just wants to be alone," he thought for an excuse, "She says she doesn't fell well." He smirked and gave a wink at Lina. "No worries."
Lina just nodded and kept walking, but Firia wasn't buying it as she caught the look in the Mazoku's face. Yet, she didn't say anything at all, not wanting to start a conflict.
Xellos went back deep into his mind, a time when he had thought he had forgotten, but knowing he never would have. He sighed and thought to himself, Oh to go back and start over.
He watched her as she went into her home and smirked. It had been at
least 20 years since she ran away from home. Xellos smirked from the tree he was
sitting in and sighed. He was watching, waiting, and taking his time. He
knew Rose wouldn't trust him at first, but he was prepared for that. Xellos'
smirk widened as he saw Rose's silhoutte showed her removing her clothing and
putting on a nightgown. This will be interesting...
Rose sighed and streched. She had a very stressful day and was really
looking forward to some rest. She blew out the candle on the wall and laid
in her bed, keeping a very dim candle lit on a dresser on the other side of
the room. She smirked, it had been so much better being away from her
father. She could finally start over. A new life. Not known as..... she
heard something. Someone was in there with her.
Xellos cursed himself mentally as he accidently hit his foot against the
dresser from where the candle gleamed. He soon recovered and blew it out
before she had a chance to see who it was though. He smirked in the
darkness. She was only half mazoku but her father still was Shabrinigdo.
She didn't know the true power she posessed. Which was fine with Xellos.
Rose was getting pissed. Her temper always did come before her fear did.
She looked in the darkness about her. She finally stood up and walked to the
foot of the bed and growled, "Who is there?! Show yourself now!"
Xellos walked into the light in front of her. His cloak, gloves, and shirt
were to the side of him on the ground and his chest seemed to glow in the
moonlight that came blazing in through the window. He smirked and said, "As
you wish."
She gasped and slapped him across the face hard. She bared her teeth and
snarled, "How dare you come in my house without my permission! I should kill
you here and...." She was cut off as he kissed her gently on the lips. Very
gently. Almost like a rose petal had been pressed to her lips.
Xellos pulled back and smirked at her. He knew how to keep her quiet.
Yes... he knew.
Rose was stunned for a minute. Then she looked up in his eyes, that were
open and looking down at her now. Her eyes turned from a ruby red to a sky
blue, the color of her mother's eyes. She had learned how to do this after a
couple of years. She put her anger aside and whispered, "Xellos..... why?"
He smirked and whispered back, "Sore wa himitstu desu."
She rolled her eyes as his arms found her waist and wrapped around her
tightly. "Don't give me that Xellos. I want an answer. Now. Did my father
tell Zelas to send you and seduce me then bringing me back? Or what? Come
on. There has got to be a catch."
Xellos just shook his head while walking over to the bed and laying her down
slowly. "No," he said softly, "No one sent me. I sent myself."
Rose was on fire by now. Gods she wanted him, but she was not about to admit
to that. She looked deep into his eyes and asked, "But Xellos, why?"
Xellos lifted up and stroked the side of her face. "Why? Cause I want you.
I want to know every part of you. Inside and out," he leaned down and
whispered slowly in her ear, "You are my desire."
Rose couldn't believe this. The same fruitcake Mazoku that she had bossed
around while living with her father was asking her to have sex with him! No!
Not sex. He was full mazoku. It was just a fuck to him.
She shook her head and said, "No Xellos. I know what you did to the Golds
and I'm half Gold. Besides, I want to be in love with that right person.
Not someone all I'm feeling is desire for."
Xellos chuckled and said in a light tone, "What if I said I did love you?
Then what? You could love me and just not know it." He began to kiss her
neck and jawline very gently, letting his hands massage her hips lightly.
Rose closed her eyes and let him. Not really caring about the love and just
wanting this desire. She brought her arms around his back and kissed him
deeply, surprisng both of them.
Xellos kissed back with much more force and passion, finding his hands go up
her nightgown and grasp her breast gently. Rose moaned out in more of
surprise and pleasure. She molded her body against his as he brought the
nightgown above her head and cupped her breast in his mouth lightly. She
squrimed under him, moaning lightly a his tongue teased her hardened nipples.
He let his teeth nibble very lightly on her nubs while letting his hand slip
in between her legs. Rose looked down at him, desire and lust drowning her
and it showed in her now almost glowing blood, red eyes. His mouth went back
up to reclaim hers as he let one of his fingers enter her tight passage. She
clenched the bed sheets and arched her back up slightly.
Xellos removed his finger with a surprised look on his face. "Rose, you
stayed a virgin all this time?"
Rose nodded, a tremble in her voice, "Yes. I just haven't found that perfect
one yet."
Xellos kissed her deply, letting his tongue search every inch of her mouth.
He then seperated and looked deep into her eyes, "Oh, but you have now."
Rose gave him a little grin as she watched Xellos remove his pants. He
kissed down her chest and breast again, then making his way to her stomach.
He let his tongue make little circles around her belly button, satisfied as
he heard erotic moans escape Rose. He moved in between her legs, kissing the
inside of her thighs, licking every inch of them. He let two fingers into
her virgin womanhood slowly, loving it as Rose seemed to moan and whine at
the same time. Hew slid them in and out of her, testing the virgin barrier.
He soon removed his fingers and let his head make his way in between her
thighs. he looked back up at her with a knowing smirk. She looked down at
him with wanting eyes and nodded, as if giving him permission. He let his
tongue lash out and lightly lick the outside of her passage. She arched up
more, almost coming off her bed as his tongue finally entered her all the
way. The moans came out low and passionate. He moved his tongue in her as
if he was kissing her mouth. Rose bit back a cry of joy to the sensation
filling her.
His hands went up to her breast and massged them slowly, letting his thumbs
play with her nipples. Rose was at her peak and almost came until Xellos
pulled out and positioned himself between her legs, looking down at her with
a smirk crossing his face.
Rose whispered softly, "You are such a tease."
Xellos just chuckled low and whispered back, "I know. But I know you love
it."
He kissed her deeply again, his manhood at her entrance. Rose kissed him
aback and suddenly stopped, anger coming back. She kept seeing all those
Golden dragons die. One by one as Xellos blew them up like they were an old
toy that was no use to him anymore. She looked into his eyes, hatered
flaring at him.
Xellos looked deeply into her eyes, a wondering expression on his face.
"Rose, what's wrong?"
Rose pushed him off of her and sat up, looking down where he now layed beside
her. "Get out Xellos. I don't want to see you anymore."
Xellos couldn't believe his ears! She was kicking him out!? He sat up with
her and put an arm around her shoulders. "Come on Rose. You don't really
want me to leave now do you?"
Rose let a soft tear flow from her eyes. She was sick of being torn between
good and evil. Half Gold, half mazoku. It was killing her. She wanted
Xellos, but he killed all those Golds and she couldn't get around him without
seeing them die. "Xellos. Now. Please." She pulled away from him and
layed down,turned on her side, looking away from him.
Xellos was about to say something to her. He really didn't know what to say,
but he didn't want to lose this one. Xellos sighed, knowing she could blow
him here to hell and back if she wanted too. He got up and put his clothing
back on, turning to her and whispering, "Goodbye Rose."
He teleported out, leaving Rose there on her bed, tears coming down her face
like little streams in the middle of a clearing in the woods. She clenched
her pillow to her and pulled her knees o her chest as she whispered ito the
darkness, "Goodbye Xellos."
Xellos didn't even see the tree as he ran straight into it. He feel back on the ground in front of Zelgadis. Zel snickered to himself and helped him up. Zel turned to Xellos and said, "Someone has his heads in the clouds. You do know there is a tree there?"
Xellos just smirked and said, "Yes. I know. I was just thinking that there isn't a town for a while."
The whole group looked up at him and yelled, "WHAT!?"
Lina growled and punched the Trickster priest in his side. "Thanks for telling us that now Xellos." She looked at the sky and back at him, "I guess we will have to camp out for the night."
Rose streched and said, "Fine with me. We are pretty close to a spring. We can camp near there."
Firia nodded and said, "Good idea."
Lina nodded back and kept walking not noticing Xellos was back into his daydream state. She glanced at the group without Xellos noticing and shrugged.
Zel came up to Lina and Amelia's side and said, "He has been like that all afternoon. What the hell is wrong with him?"
Lina and Amelia both shrugged. Amelia glanced at him and said to Lian and Zel, "He almost looks depressed."
Gourry cocked his head at his three friends and said, "He looks love sick to me."
Firia and Rose even heard that and all of them, besides Gourry and Xellos, gasped in surprise. Gourry just shrugged and kept walking on.
Firia's eyes were wide as she gathered her words in a whisper so Xellos couldn't hear, "Him!? Gourry! He can't love! No mazoku can."
Gourry just titled his head and said, "Well, he looks like it to me."
Zel, Amelia, Lina, and Firia looked back at the Trickster as he looked off in the air, not paying any attention to their little conversation.
Lina shook her head and mumbled, "Oh forget it. He probably is just thinking of a new way to piss us off."
With that they continued their way to the campsite. Rose walked along Zel and Firia but found herself looking back at Xellos. As she looked back their eyes locked on eachother and for one second something went between them. Rose tried to pull her eyes away from his, but they wouldn't budge. His amethyst eyes darted into hers like daggers to her heart. No. Pull away, Rose said to herself. She finally pulled away and kept walking.
Zel whispered to Lina so the others wouldn't hear, "Something is really up between those two."
Lina nodded and said, "I know," she quietly, looking back at Rose and Xellos, "I know."
