Amelia knocked softly on Zelgadis' cabin door.

Her heart was pounding as she heard him get up and move across the room. The wooden floorboards of the ship creaked under his weight. The knob turned, and Amelia almost lost her nerve. It took all her willpower to stay rooted to the spot.

Zelgadis, a solitary young man who also happened to be a chimera made of human, rock golem and brau demon, opened the door and looked down at his friend and long time traveling companion.

"Amelia," he said, "What's wrong?"

Of course he would assume she was there because something was wrong. It was the middle of the night.

"Nothing, really," Amelia heard herself saying, even though her mind was focused on one goal only. "I need to talk to you for a moment. Can I come in?"

Zelgadis looked a bit confused, but nodded and stepped back to allow her to enter his room.

It was a fairly small room, identical to Amelia's, but she saw her friend's broadsword leaning against the wall next to the head of the bed, and his tunic slung over the back of a chair in the corner.

It was then that Amelia realized he wasn't wearing a shirt. She'd been so distracted by her own nerves, she hadn't noticed before. There had been times in the past when she'd seen him wearing even less, but those times didn't feel as...intimate. Amelia felt herself blushing, and turned from her friend so that she was seated at the foot of the bed.

"Well, Zelgadis-san," she began, using the name she always called him by even though they'd been friends for four years. "You know I've gone through Shrine Maiden training back home in Saillune."

It wasn't really a question, but Zelgadis nodded anyway.

"That training gave me certain abilities outside of what someone like Lina-san can do. She's a lot more powerful than me because she knows black magic and Shamanistic magic, but she doesn't have visions the way I sometimes do, and she can't sense the presence of other magical people and objects."

Zelgadis gingerly sat on the bed next to Amelia, looking at her curiously.

"I understand that, Amelia," he said, "but I'm not sure where you're going with all this.

The small sorceress took and deep breath and plunged on.

"What I'm trying to tell you is that I've had a vision. It was about you, and I've battled with myself about whether I should tell you or not."

Now Zelgadis' eyes went wide and he grabbed Amelia by her shoulders and turned her body to face him.

"Of course you should tell me!" he exclaimed. "Even if it's bad, I want to know!"

Amelia felt her face reddening again at the close contact. "It's not bad. Not exactly. That is, I guess it depends on your viewpoint..."

"Amelia!" The chimera was losing his patience. "Please just tell me."

"I have a feeling," Amelia began, now seeming to stare through Zelgadis at something only she could see, "that you will find your cure on this journey."

When she focused in on his face again, his expression shocked her. He looked hurt, and finally let go of her shoulders as he turned away.

"...Zelgadis-san?" Amelia reached out to him, but felt like a dagger had been plunged into her heart when he jerked away from her touch.

After what felt like an eternity, Zelgadis finally spoke. His voice was low and thick with emotion.

"Why would you do this to me? Why would you come in here and tell me something that you know would only get my hopes up, when it's not a sure thing?"

Amelia felt tears sting her eyes. "I thought you would be happy!" she practically screamed. "Please don't be upset! I would never have told you if I thought it would hurt you!" With that, Amelia forcefully flung herself at her friend, hugging him tightly.

She felt him stiffen at the contact, but he soon relaxed and actually reached up and ran his fingers through her short hair.

"Amelia," he breathed in her ear. "You don't understand. Ever since we defeated Dark Star, I've wanted to find a cure even more. To have you of all people tell me it could be possible..."

The princess of Saillune looked up at him then, her eyes still shining with unshed tears. "Why just since we defeated Dark Star?" She was genuinely curious.

Now it was the stone Shaman's turn to blush. "Because ever since then, it was important to me so that maybe we could...be together someday." It seemed to take all his strength to say the last three words.

"Zegadis-san..." His name disappeared into thin air as she pressed her lips to his. He was warm and smooth, though more firm than a normal human. At first Amelia felt him resisting, as if he was torn between returning the kiss or running away...but then she felt him responding. He even tightened his arms around her and pulled her tightly against him.

It was when Amelia opened her mouth and began running her tongue along his lips that he broke the kiss and pushed her away so that he could look at her again.

"Amelia, did you not hear what I just said?" His breathing was labored, and Amelia was so dizzy from the kiss that she had no idea what he was referring to.

"Which part?" she finally asked, knowing she sounded stupid.

"I'm not...comfortable...with the idea of us being together until I'm human again."

Amelia's expression quickly turned from one of confusion to determination.

"So you're telling me that you won't accept my feelings until you're human?"

"That's right," Zelgadis had put on his stubborn face.

"So then when you find your cure," Amelia emphasized the word when, "You won't be able to know for sure whether I love you for you, or only love you when you're back to looking like everyone else."

Zelgadis stared blankly at her. "I don't think I would question..."

"Which means!" Amelia cut him off, and pushed her full weight against him until he was laying flat on his back on the bed, "I need to show you my true feelings now, so there will never be any question in your mind."

The petite princess was straddling the chimera's hips, and leaned down to kiss him again. She stretched out her body until she was laying perfectly on top of him, never releasing his lips from hers. This time when she prodded his mouth with her tongue, he responded in kind. Amelia pressed down on him as hard as she could, hoping he could feel her like she could feel him. Her arms reached up around his neck, and his hands began moving up and down her sides, timidly brushing the curves of her hips and ass. Their kiss was passionate, and their tongues battled as if they were in a competition with each other.

Breathlessly, Amelia broke the kiss and began leaving hot kisses under his jaw and down his throat. Zelgadis tilted his head back to give her better access and finally grabbed both her buttcheeks firmly in his hands, pulling the princess even closer to him.

Amelia gasped when she felt his erection against her own throbbing womanhood. They were both still wearing clothes, but his excitement was very obvious and Amelia knew her own panties were already soaked from her need.

"Z-Zelgadis..." Amelia moaned, leaving off the -san for the first time since she'd known him.

"Amelia," he said her name as if it were a prayer. Before Amelia knew what had happened, Zelgadis had flipped her over and she found herself on her back, looking up at him.

"This will be even better when I'm human, I promise," Zelgadis said, then crushed Amelia's mouth with a kiss before she could protest that things were just fine the way they were.

Amelia felt like her body was out of her control, as her legs parted and she wrapped them around Zelgadis' strong torso. He ground his erection into her mound again, and she gasped into his mouth.

"Zelgadis, please..."

He thought he might cum right then. Hearing the girl he had secretly loved and desired for years begging him to make love to her was almost more than he could stand.

"Not so fast, Princess," he whispered into her ear. She shivered with desire, and then felt his hands on her body, raising her shirt up over her head.

Once her breasts were exposed, Zelgadis leaned back a bit to drink in the sight of her. He never thought of himself as much of a breast man, but he was definitely considering changing that stance now. For her small size, Amelia was very well endowed. Her large milky white breasts were perky and perfectly shaped. Zelgadis felt his erection straining against his pants, and finally decided he had earned at least this much for his years of torment.

He moved away from Amelia and she groaned in disappointment, but then she saw that he was removing his pants and underwear. When he came back to lean over her, he was completely naked and Amelia felt like her face was on fire.

She had never seen a naked man in real life, of course. Especially not an aroused naked man. Especially not an aroused naked man who was the most beautiful creature she'd ever seen.

Zelgadis wasn't sure how to take her expression. For a moment, he thought maybe he had been wrong. Maybe Amelia, in all her naivety, just thought she wanted to be with him, but now that she could see how his chimera body looked she must be disgusted by him...

But then his self-deprecating thoughts were cut off by Amelia grabbed him around the neck and pulling him down for another long, hot kiss.

Amelia was the one who broke the kiss, and before Zelgadis realized what she was doing, she had scooted down underneath him enough so that she could reach his throbbing member and take it roughly in her hand. She began to rub him, using as much force as she could so that he would get as much enjoyment out of it as she could possibly give. She was rewarded by the little moans and choking sounds coming out of the chimera's mouth. As she did so, she left a trail of kisses down his chest. Amelia noted that his manhood was not covered in the pebbles that adorned the rest of his body, except one small one at the hilt. As she kissed him, she found that the pebbles themselves were a bit rough, but the rest of his exposed skin was pliable and just slightly firmer than human skin. Which made sense, otherwise Zelgadis would not be as limber or quick to move around as he was.

Zelgadis pulled away from the small girl's ministrations, and with one hand hooked the waistband of her pants and panties and pulled them both off of her.

Amelia felt herself flush as Zelgadis looked at her with a possessive hunger she had never seen before. She subconsciously covered her breasts with her hands and brought her knees together to block off his view of her crotch.

Zelgadis gave her a warm little smile and then pushed her knees apart again, and lifted her hands and laid them at her sides.

"I want to look at you," he simply said.

Being looked at with such warmth and need made the intense feeling pooling in Amelia's lower regions even stronger. She had no experience with sex, but even so she knew she wanted him inside her. She needed to become one with him. This man, her dear friend, had made her fall in love with him long ago. She would never be able to explain it to anyone else, but even if Zelgadis was never cured and continued to hate himself, she would love him enough for the both of them.

Before she knew what he was doing, Zelgadis had slipped down between her legs, and she felt his tongue lapping at the engorged bundle of nerves above her folds.

"OH GODS!" She yelled out, then immediately clapped her hands over her mouth in embarrassment. After all, Lina's room and Gourry's room both flanked the one they were currently in.

Zelgadis felt himself become even more aroused at the knowledge that he'd caused Amelia to cry out in pleasure. If he didn't find release soon, he was afraid he might explode. But now he could smell and taste the fluids pouring from Amelia as he licked and kneaded her, and it was like a drug. He left her swollen clit and finally stuck his tongue between her folds and inside the inner lips of her womanhood. Amelia cried out again, but he barely heard her this time. He stuck his tongue inside of her as far as it would go, and tasted all of her. Amelia bucked her hips into his face in rhythm with his licks, and put a fist against her mouth to keep from screaming at him that she was cumming.

The orgasm almost knocked her out. Never in her life has she experienced so much pleasure, and it was intensified by the fact that she was irrevocably in love with the man who had given her so much pleasure.

Amelia lay there for a moment, trying to catch her breath. Zelgadis spooned up against her and closed his eyes. Amelia felt his hot erection against her thigh and soon regained her composure.

"Your turn," she said, nudging him to sit up on the edge of the bed. Zelgadis did so, wondering what she was planning.

Once he was in position, Amelia got down on the floor, crouched on her knees, and begin licking underneath his member from bottom to top.

Now it was Zelgadis' turn to try and control himself. When Amelia took him fully in her mouth, he screamed her name and then immediately slapped a hand over his mouth.

Amelia sucked on him intently, and then pulled away and used her hand to coat his manhood with her saliva. Then, as her lover watched curiously, Amelia put his length between her large breasts and began moving them up and down along it, while putting the tip in her mouth and sucking.

Zelgadis thought he was about to die. He had never felt as good in his entire life as he did in that moment. He knew he was already dripping pre-cum, and he felt Amelia's tongue swirling around the opening and licking it off.

When Amelia took one hand from her breasts and used it to grab at his sack, he came in her mouth without warning.

To her credit, Amelia took it in stride. Zelgadis rarely pleasured himself and therefore rarely had any release, so the amount of hot white liquid Amelia had to contend with was impressive. She took it all, though, and swallowed it down.

Panting and sweating, Zelgadis started at the amazing naked creature in front of him and stammered out, "A-Amelia...where the hell did you learn that?"

Amelia shrugged and said, "I read it in a romance novel once. Was it good?"

In answer to her adorably naive question, Zelgadis grabbed her and dragged her back onto the bed with him. He began planting kisses all over her body, starting from her feet and working his way up. When he reached her mouth, she could taste herself on his lips. She had already experienced a great orgasm, but he was making her feel insatiable. Luckily for her, Zelgadis was thinking along those same lines and was already halfway hard again.

"Amelia, I have to know that you want this. That this isn't a mistake." The look in the chimera's eyes broke Amelia's heart. Even after all they'd already done, he was still afraid she would reject him.

"Zel," she said, now having graduated to using his nickname, "I have wanted you for four years. I'm not a child anymore, and once I realized what this feeling was...this longing inside of me when I looked at you...I knew I couldn't rest until we were together. Love and Justice are the most precious things in the world!"

Zelgadis smiled at that. Years ago he might have found it annoying that she found a way to work a small bit of Justice Speech into whatever they were doing, but now he just found it endearing. Amelia had truly grown into a remarkable woman, and he would try his damndest not to mess things up with her.

"Amelia, I promise you right now...when I get my cure..." Amelia smiled at his use of when, "I'm going to marry you so fast your head will spin. I'll do right by you, so you won't have to regret a thing!"

The passion behind his words made Amelia fall even more in love with him, if that was even possible. "I wouldn't have regretted being with you, either way. Zelgadis, even if you had to stay a chimera forever, my feelings for you will NEVER change. I love you just the way you are, now and forever. The only thing that would make me sad is that you wouldn't be happy living life that way."

At that, Zelgadis' expression turned very serious. "Actually, Amelia, I'm starting to think that as long as I'm with you...my condition doesn't bother me as much."

Those words touched her more than if he had come out and said 'I love you', and Amelia's eyes began to shine with tears. She pulled Zelgadis to her and whispered, "Please, I need you now. Let me give it to you. It's yours."

Zelgadis didn't have to ask what she was referring to. Her words were enough, and he felt himself become fully hard again. He needed her too, but couldn't find the words to tell her. He decided he would just show her.

He laid her down on the bed, more gently than he had ever handled anything in his life, and gave her a feather-soft kiss. His hand began tracing down her breasts, stopping only for a moment to brush her nipples, sending a shiver through the princess. He then continued down her stomach, past her belly button, and then finally to her still dripping womanhood.

Using his middle finger, he slowly pushed it into Amelia's folds. She gasped and arched her back, then pressed down on his finger.

"More," she ordered.

Adding his index finger, he pushed both digits into her and began moving them in and out, as well as stretching her as much as he could in preparation for what was to come.

Amelia was moaning and rocking with the rhythm of his fingers. She knew his member was a lot bigger and would stretch her more, but if the feeling from his fingers was any indication, it would be worth any momentary discomfort.

"Are you ready?" Zelgadis finally asked, when he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Yes, please," Amelia begged, her eyes squeezed closed in pleasure.

Zelgadis removed his fingers from her shining, dripping hole, and placed the head of his manhood at her opening.

Slowly working in the tip, he allowed Amelia to get used to the feeling. At her gasps and moans for more, he pushed in a bit further.

"Deeper, deeper..." It had become a mantra that Amelia was groaning over and over, and Zelgadis was tempted to shush her so that he wouldn't cum too soon.

Finally, steeling his nerves, Zelgadis pushed all the way in. Amelia let out a long, low moan. She actually didn't experience much pain, just a bit of soreness that was promptly replaced by pleasure as he began moving in and out of her.

Amelia soon discovered that the little pebble that rested close to the shaft of his penis was in the perfect place to stimulate her swollen clit as he fucked her. The feeling was amazing, and she had a fleeting thought that maybe Rezo wasn't such a bad guy after all.

Zelgadis felt himself coming close to the edge, but he wanted Amelia to finish first.

"HARDER!" She ordered him in a voice definitely suited for royalty. Zelgadis noted that she must not care about their friends hearing them anymore.

He pushed into her harder, as deep as he could go. Amelia thought she could actually feel him swelling and filling her up as his orgasm hit.

"Amelia, I'm going to..."

"I know!" She gasped. "I want you to!"

He came inside her, long and hard. As his hot semen filled her up, it suddenly occurred to him that maybe they should have used some sort of protection, just in case he actually could father children. Oh, well. Too late now.

When he finished spilling into her, he pulled out and watched in fascination as a bit of the thick white liquid dripped out of her and onto his bed.

Amelia's entire body was flushed and covered with sweat, but she was smiling the most relaxed smile he had ever seen.

Zelgadis laid down next to her and pulled her into his arms.

"This changes everything," he said, not knowing if Amelia was even still awake.

"Yes and no," Amelia answered, turning towards him and placing her legs between his so their bodies were completely intertwined. "Yes, because now we've both shared our true feelings and we'll never be able to take it back. No, because I think we should keep it just between us for now. I'm afraid Lina-san and Gourry-san might treat us differently if they knew."

Zelgadis nodded mutely. At first the thought flashed through his mind that she was ashamed of him, but then he realized she had a point.

"I think you're right," he finally said. "Besides, I have enemies and I wouldn't want anything to happen to you because of me. If it was a known fact that we're together, I couldn't live with myself if someone used you to get to me."

Amelia grinned, "It'll be our little secret. But Zelgadis, even if somehow my vision is wrong, I still want you to come back to Saillune with me when this is all over. Please?"

Zelgadis smiled back at her and said, "But Princess, what will your father say?"

Amelia gave him a playful slap on the arm, "Daddy loves you and you know it! He's the one who called you back to 'protect' me on the journey to find Lina-san. It wasn't just because he trusts you, I'm almost sure he wanted us to finally 'fess up!"

"HEY ZEL!" came a loud female voice from outside the door, "COME OUT AND EAT, GOURRY AND I ORDERED STEAK DINNERS! AND FIND AMELIA, SHE'S THE ONE PAYING FOR IT!"

With that, they heard their friend Lina disappear down the hall. Amelia and Zelgadis looked at each other and then broke out into giggles.

"We should go, I guess," Amelia said, getting up out of bed and grabbing her clothes. Zelgadis watched her with obvious desire as she pulled her clothes on. He had to fight down his arousal, just from seeing Amelia wiggling into her underthings. If he hadn't known better, he would have thought she put some sort of spell on him.

Zelgadis grudgingly got up and pulled his clothes on, too. He cracked open the door and checked to make sure the hallway was empty, then sent Amelia out ahead of him.

Just as she had closed his door behind her, Gourry came bounding down the hall.

"Hey, Amelia!" the tall blonde swordsman smiled as he approached her. "Where've you been? I think Lina was looking for you."

"Oh, I was just helping Zelgadis-san with some research!" Amelia exlaimed happily, walking down the hall with her friend.

Still inside his room, hand still on the doorknob, Zelgadis couldn't help but smile.
