Kiss From a Rose
The young ryuuzoku tightened
the hold on her mask as she walked up the marble steps of Saillune
palace. Her white dress flowing from side to side. Her
blue eyes detected a group of joyful couples rustle up towards the
entrance with such passion in their eyes; the dragon couldn't help but feel a
bit envious. Filia stopped as she saw a pathway leading to the rose garden and
a small fountain. The Gold took a deep breath and quickly waltzed over to the
fountain, to double-check her outfit.
There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the
light on the dark side of me.
Love remained
a drug that's the high and not the pill.
"Not bad, if I do say so myself." she mused out
loud as she looked at her reflection. To any ongoer,
they would stop breathless, as they would see with the untrained eye a
majestic looking young blonde woman in a white flowing gown with gold trimmings
that flared out at the end. Her rosy and cheerful visage half shielded by
a golden mask with 2 white feathers placed upon the sides, as her hair
fell down to her back. The maiden growled as she remembered just what happened
to her before she prepared for the masked ball, Amelia was holding.
But did you know,
That when it
snows,
My eyes become
large and,
The light that
you shine can be seen
"Did he have to insult me, I mean I only asked him
because Jillas and Gravos couldn't come with me at least for some company.....namagomi jerk." she seethed her golden brow rising in
anger and rapidly reverted back to its former position as she stifled a
chuckle. "Funny, how he always brings out the worst side of me...in a way
I bring out the somewhat good in him." she mumbled walking towards the
entrance of the ball, not noticing a familiar presence slowly transpire itself.
Baby,
I compare you
to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
...kiss
from a rose on the grey.
The blonde blinked as the extravagant decorations
completely entranced her. The ballroom was white with a crystal chandelier
hanging from the ceiling and small golden candles encircling the oval-shaped
room. The floor was shined so brightly the dragon saw a perfect reflection of
herself. The dancers that were now moving to the fast beat of the music danced
with such enthusiasm and grace. The warm hot smell of food wafted to her and
nose and she looked to the buffet table knowing she would meet some old
friends. Her masked eyes shining brightly with its own glow.
Ooh,
The more I get
of you,
Ooh...................
Filia mentally gave herself a pat on the back as she
soon recognized four travelling companions and close friends making total pigs
out of themselves except for one chimera. "Hello, Lina-san." she said
getting the attention of the redheaded sorceress her red mask going into a
small tilt.
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits
the gloom on the grey.
"Filia, that you?" she questioned slowly
approaching the dragon in wobbly steps, probably not used to wearing high
heels. The ryuuzoku nodded her head and was greeted
in a long hug from the sorceress. "It's been so long.....hey Gourry, Zel, Amelia, Filia's here." she shouted getting the
attention from the three.
There is so much a man can tell you,
..there....................woa...
So much he can
say.
there's so much inside.
"Filia?" murmured the three in slight doubt
looking upon the masked blonde by the fiery red head. With a well-mannered bow
and smile, the 3 rushed over to the young ryuuzoku
and greeted her with open arms.
You remain
My power, my
pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're
like a growing addiction that I can't deny.. yeah.
"This ball is quite extravagant Amelia, you've outdone
yourself." Filia complimented taking a small sip from her glass. Amelia
smiled from behind her pink and white mask.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
"Thank you, Filia-san." she flushed her masked
cheeks getting a little rosy. Lina tapped the dragon on her shoulder, seeing
her make a small jump.
But did you know,
That when it
snows,
My eyes become
large and the light that you shine can be seen.
"So, has our favourite mazoku
escort you to this ball and is planning to ruin everything." Lina pried
trying to get a little confession. Filia choked on her punch and blushed at the
question looking from left to right.
Baby,
I've...
"What?! No,..no
way. He isn’t here why would he be here in the first place." she hissed
giving Lina the clear message to drop the conversation.
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the
grey.
been.............. kissed from a rose on the grey.
The ball continued and the group reminisced of the times of
past still unaware of a very mysterious and handsome masked figure. Filia's long ears quirked to the beginning of a very familiar tune
that enchanted her very soul. The music once again bewitched her as
everyone else was wrapped under the spell of the rapturous rhythm.
Ooh, the more I get of you
...ooh...........the..
"Kiss From the Rose..." the dragon breathed
her past’s memories of her fist ball flooding back into her mind. Gourry
Gabriev smiled from under his blue jellyfish mask reaching his hand
towards the sorceress. With a hidden blush she reluctantly grabbed it. The
princess giggled as she saw the swordsman sweep the redhead onto the dance
floor with such poise. Zelgadis cleared his throat his bluish-greyish mask with a small tear on it make a small shake. He grabbed
the princess' hand with ease and led her into the dance. Filia's eyes drooped
as the music continued. Her heart thumped as she saw many couples dancing with
such grace.
Stranger it feels, yeah
stranger it feels, ...yeah.
"Beautiful..." she mouthed to herself seeing a
flickering of a black aura before her eyes. Soon to be
replaced with a man in a purplish-black mask dressed in a black outfit
stretching his confident arm towards the baffled dragon. Filia gulped no
longer in control of her own body and waltzed towards the mystery man. She
grabbed his hand a felt a small brush of cold that shook her to her spine and
the tip of her hidden tail only to be replaced with a melting sweet heat.
The man pulled the blonde unresistingly into his arms into a firm grip to keep
her close to him as he lead her into the dance with such charisma couples eyes
darted towards the new dancers. Filia gazed at the man and could almost feel his
pompous smirk that reminded her deeply of someone.
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits
the gloom on the grey,
"Who....are...yo..."
she was silenced as he brushed his lips against hers, his smirk growing larger
as he could feel her blush and rewarded her with a small dip and slid her back
into his arms. The dragon's eyes unfocused and glazed over as the room went
from grey to black and the only people alive were her and this man. The only
sound she could detect was their beating hearts and soft pats
of their feet. The man's amethyst eyes darted all over the dragon,
admiring all her features that he usually neglected noticing in the past. The dragons ears made another quirk as she felt the climax
of the song approach and the movement of her and her mystery man speed up that
her face flushed with heat. He twisted and turned her. Both of them unaware of
the crowd of people they were attracting with the heat of their movement.
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey,
...I've been.......................I've...
"Careful, now...." he whispered as the dragon
almost tripped over her own feet and was caught with ease as he held her
back into a more comfortable position. Filia blinked and her world came back
into colours, it soon came to her knowledge that the dance was over. The man
gave her a cheshire grin and brought her milky white
hand towards his lips. She caught a white flash of canines as he placed a soft
kiss on her hand. He released her hand and slowly strode passed after caressing
her rear slightly.
I've been kissed by a rose
...been
kissed by a rose on the grey
"Till we meet again, my dear Filia." he whispered
walking a few more steps but soon came to a halt and approached he once more
pulling something out from his pocket; a finely crafted purple rose. "I
almost forgot." he said as placed his lips on a finely shaped petal and
gave a brief kiss and handed it to the stunned dragon and soon left the scene
towards the balcony.
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey,
...I've been.......................I've...
...And if I should fall, at all
"Kiss.....rose....how'd he
know?" she questioned to herself her feet commanding herself to confront
her not-so-much mystery man. Amelia blinked as she saw Filia chase after the
mystery man and she was about to go after her when Lina placed a hand on her
shoulder, stopping her completely.
I've been kissed by a rose
...been
kissed by a rose on the grey
"Lina-san...." Amelia protested but only got a
silent shake from the redheaded sorceress.
There is so much a man can tell you,
..there....................woa...
So much he can
say.
there's so much inside.
Filia eye's narrowed as she saw
her mystery man standing beside the flower garden, totally aware of her
approaching presence. He turned to her his smile still firm on his face.
"How did you know about that, Xellos?" she asked his mental mask
shattering before as she still clutched the rose with trembling. He smiled
behind his physical mask and took one step closer.
You remain
you.......
"Ah, so my dear Filia has figured out it was me?"
he asked his brow rising in satisfaction. Filia nodded her head slightly
lowering it to avoid his gaze until he cupped her chin to look at him at eye
level. "The answer to you question Filia dear, is yes I knew about that
particular custom what about it?" he tested her with a
small ounce of mocking in his voice.
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
The ryuuzoku gulped and her mind
and heart felt like shutting down. "Th..that...was the song from my first ball. It was very
important to
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.
Xellos paused and gently scratched the base of her chin.
"Yes, I know I heard you talking to Val about it yesterday you were so
immersed in the past that you didn't even sense me." he stated as his lips
parted into a grin.
But did you know,
That when it
snows,
My eyes become
large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Filia drank in the smell of his scent; it was like some
roguish cologne mixed in with some sort of metallic smell. "But, then why
did you decide to do that dance with me. I mean there were plenty of girls at
the ball without partners." she listed hoping the answer would be a good
one.
Baby,
I've...
Xellos finally released her chin, yet her slightly
unfocused gaze was directed upon him. He smiled at her and took in her emotions
like an exquisite dish. "Why, you say my dear. Because I wished to dance
with you and only you," he answered catching her hand.
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
been.............. kissed from a rose on the grey.
The dragon blinked obviously she was very confused. "Bu..but Xellos "The Kiss From
a Rose" dance is very.....it's for people who are dedicated to each other
and you didn't even want to come to the ball with me in the first place."
she reasoned her voice rising in anger and a bit of hurt.
Ooh, the more I get of you
...ooh...........the..
The mazoku held on tighter to the
blonde's hand as she struggled to be liberated from his grip, but to no
success. "Filia, listen to me I wanted to dance that song with you. I
also knew what that song is meant for and I still wanted to dance with
you," he said in a rough voice as the dragon slowed down and ceased her
struggling.
Stranger it feels, yeah
stranger it
feels.
The priest relished in content as the dragon stopped her
struggling as he pulled the dragon once again unresisting into his arms,
into a warm embrace. He slowly led her into a small dance keeping her very
close to him. Filia's sight became grey once more and she could only see the
man who was holding her and the roses around her. "What are you thinking
my, lovely dragon?" he asked leading her into a small turn.
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
The dragon's eyelids became heavy until her eyes barely
opened. "I'm thinking about you. The way you're acting it's like you're in
love. And we all no mazoku can't love." she
reminded herself in a saddened voice. The priest pulled her closer to him and
once against brushed his lips against hers giving it a small tug.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
I've..........been kissed from a rose on the grey.
"Who told
you something like that?" he asked his voice very apparent with
slight amusement. "I mean its true mazoku don't
usually love but it is possible. Yet we choose to subdue those emotions. I mean
I love you...I think....maybe it's lust but I seriously
doubt it." he added quickly noticing her eye’s widen in shock. She once
again tried to be freed from his grip but he would not let her go.
Ooh, the more I get of you
...ooh...........the..
The dragon's senses were screaming making her panic
but she needed to ask the priest an important. "Xellos are you saying that
you're in love with me or is this some sick trick?" she asked
her curiosity overcoming her. Xellos sighed and caressed her cheek that wasn't
hidden by the mask.
Stranger it feels, yeah
stranger it
feels. ...yeah.
"Tell me Filia dear, do you know what comes after
the kissing of the rose and handing it to your partner?" he asked stroking
her golden mask. The dragon shook her head, as her senses became to calm down.
And now that your rose is in bloom
aah-ee-aah...
A light hits
the gloom on the grey
aah-ee-aah...
"No, I fell asleep so I didn't know what happened
next, I was very young." she acknowledged her voice getting softer.
Xellos quieted her and removed her mask in a swift gesture.
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
"Let me show you." he spoke in a melty voice as his mask vanished and he placed his lips on
the shocked dragons. There world becoming grey and silent.
"I love you, Xellos," she thought as she felt
him deepen the kiss. Xellos purged her mouth open.
"I love you my dear, Filia," he murmured as he
continued to kiss his lover.
The End
