Things were not going according to plan. Zelgadis Greyweres had decided as the red haired harriden hurled herself at him and fought hm with tooth and nail.
"Get away from me you hentai!" Lina screamed as she slashed viciously at the man with her sharp nails. The man recoiled as Lina's nail slashed opened the delicate skin under his sapphire colored eyes. With a growl, the man roughly grabbed Lina's shoulders and pushed her against the wall.
"Is this you show your gratatude?" the man snarled in Lina's face.
"Get away from me you Mazuko scum! What you killed the rest of your slimy firneds so you could have me all to yourself, how typically Mazuko." Lina spat as she kneed the man in the groin. Zel doubled over in painn, and Lina suddenly cast a spell. "Fireball!" Zel hastily raised a shield and tried to defleact the brunt of Lina's attack. Zel crossed his arms and glared at Lina furious.
"I am not, nor have I every been a Mazuko." Zel said with frost dripping from his tone. Lina paused and looked up at Zel.
"But you have slit-pupiled eyes like a Mazuko!" she pointed out angrily.
"Yeah my mom was attacked by a Mazuko just like you were just about to be when I saved you." Zel pointed out bluntly with venom in his tone. Lina hung her head in shame.
"I am sorry." she whispered. Zel smield at her charmingly once again.
"Come along, a young girl shouldn't be out on these streets after dark.
"And how do I know you aren't leading me into a trap?" Lina growled, and the two managed to make the argument last till they reached the sfaehouse where Zel and his grandfater Rezo lived.

Elsewhere:

Firia Ul Copt glared up at the red haired man standing over her.
"Yes you will make an excellant presant for Valgarv, such fire." Chaos Dragon Garv smield a wintry smile at the blond priestess. "I am sure Val will have a nice time breaking you." Suddenly a very thin youth with auqa colored hair suddenly apeared. He folded his great wings around his body. The half- Mazuko, half-Dragon know as Valgarv stared at his master with golden eyes .
"What do you wish of me my Lord?" Valgarv asked in a deep voice.
"Ahh Val, I have a gift for you." Garv chuckled as he gestured at Firia. "One of the rare and swiftly dying breed of Golden Dragons. The moment I saw her I thought of you." Val looked at his master questioningly, and then looked at the small delicate girl with long golden hair. Val would have doubted his master's claims if he hadn't looke dinto her slitted-pupil sky blue eyes. Yes she was a Gold. He gaze held all the arrogance and pride that her race had flauted about. Val smiled bitterly, yes he would have fun with this little toy.
"Thank you my Lord." Val bowed from the waist and spread his wings. Firia gasped as he caught her in his arms and flew away to him own personal domain.
"Let go of me you Namagomi Mazuko! You gutter-trash, low born son of a green!" Val looked down into Firia's furious eyes wth equally furious eyes. He smilked and dropped her as she had asked. But instead of transforming, she fell, and a scream was ripped from her thoat. Why doesn't she fly? Val wondered silently as he dived down and plucked her out of mid-air. The pround Golden maiden clung to Val and trembled in teror and anger as he continued on his interupted flight. It was only after he had saftly landed and placed her on the ground that she dragged out her huge mace and hit him over the head with it. Firia continued to hit Val repeatedly over the head, all the while hurling obsenates at him. Val suddenly got angry and stood up to his impressive height and towered over Firia.
"Enough!" he commanded as he placed a hand on Firia's brow. "Sleep." he murmued as Firia's brilliant blue eyes rolled back in her head and she begain to fall foreward. So for the second time in that day, Val grabbed her and carried the unconscious maiden to his bed and laid her down there. After he had made sure his unwanted houseguest was situated, he sat down and broodied. What had he done to piss Garv-sama off so much that he would sick this mace-wielding shrew on him?
