"NAMAGOMI!"

Filia Ul Copt was chasing Xellos Metallium all around her shop. He had ticked her off for the very last time.

Xellos laughed out loud and then vanished. Filia was furious beyond belief. She hated Xellos with a passion and when he poured milk and vinegar into her tea, she wanted to tear him from limb to limb.

"I'll get back at him, yet!" she swore. "Just how, is the problem."

Suddenly, a slow and evil grin appeared on her face. She knew just what to do to irk him.

"It'll be so perfect that he'll leave me alone forever!" Filia declared loudly.

The next day, Xellos made another appearance in Filia's shop. It was just so fun to bug her, in his opinion. He had no idea what she had in store for him.

"Konnichi wa, Filia-san!" he said, cheerfully.

Filia put on a fake smile of happiness. "Xellos-san! It's so wonderful to see you!"

"Eh?"

Filia walked closer to him. "Isn't life wonderful, Xellos-san?"

"Eh?!"

Now standing right in front of, Filia grinned and wrapped her arms around his torso. He swallowed�hard.

"Filia-san, what are you doing?"

Filia blinked innocently. "What do you mean?"

"Umm�well�you're�" Xellos pointed to her arms.

Filia shrugged. "So?"

Xellos swallowed again and Filia moved her arms to his neck. Xellos was having a hard time breathing.

"Isn't life so joyous, lovely, and wonderful?" she asked, while putting her head to his chest.

Xellos was sweating. "Umm�Filia-san, please."

"Please what?"

"Stop saying those things! It's torturing me!" he whined.

Filia put her face close to his and said, "Good," right before she pressed her lips to his.

Xellos' eyes widened in surprise. He was so surprise that he didn't even react. Once she pulled away, she laughed right in his face.

"Oh my gods! You should have SEEN the look on your face!"

"You mean that all of that was�" Xellos sputtered.

Filia nodded with a grin plastered on her face. "Hai! It was about time that you got yours, in the end."

Xellos scowled at her. "You know that I hate you."

"Hai!" Filia said cheerily. "Have a WONDERFUL day!"

Xellos ground his teeth and then disappeared, leaving Filia satisfied with what she had done.

"That was so much fun! I wonder if I'll get to do it again?" Filia asked herself. "Maybe, if he returns tomorrow, I'll�"

Little did Filia know, but Xellos was in the tea closet, wrting down notes about her plans. He was going to enjoy their little spats now.
