sequal to For You I Will.
Ok, this is rated bad because of the horrible, horrible language and Lina going crazy. :) warning ya'll *********************************************************************

This woman
who takes on the world
who picks up your shirt
and keeps it all togather somehow

	Amelia stood in her room unpacking her stuff. She had managed 
to keep to herself lately, pulling away from the group more and more. 
Noone had seemed to notice, and it was for the better.
Thankfully Xellos 
had said nothing, but he looked at her now and again with a look she 
couldn't decipher. Zelgadis had become a bit more outgoing. He was 
even returning flirts of young women now and then. He hardly ever 
looked at her, but when he did he usually just mouthed a 'thanks' and
smiled before going back to his conversations.  She let a tear fall 
as she placed her clothes in her drawer. They were in this small 
village for a few days, taking a break and already Zelgadis had a
circle of women that talked to him daily, flirting and touching him.
	Lina entered the room just after Amelia had wiped her tear.
	"Hey Amelia! Did you see those girls hangin all over Zel 
today? Wow, you've got competition." Lina laughed good-heartedly, but 
quickly noticed that Amelia hadn't reacted. She
turned to look 
at the girl. She had seemed more down lately. She rarely talked 
and hardly ate as much. Lina usualy found her eating by herself in 
the middle of the night. She seemed to be turning
into a Zelgadis 
before Zelgadis became human. He had thanked her so what was the 
problem?

this same woman
who melts with your touch
needs you to feel it
to feel it right now

	Lina spotted a glint of red hit her hand and looked over in 
confusion.  What she saw confused her.  She slowly made her way 
over to Amelia, keeping her gaze on the strange necklack hanging 
from around her neck.
	Amelia noticed Lina's gaze and grabbed the necklace in 
her palm, concealing it quickly and
moving away.
	"Hey, Amelia, what's that?'
	"What's what?" she asked innocently.
	"That. In your hand." Lina tried to grab her hand but Amelia 
avoided her grasping.
	"N-nothing, Lina. It's nothing, really."
	"Nothing? Why are you hiding it then?"
	"I- Lina, please! No!" she screeched as Lina pried her 
hands apart, grasping the amulet.
	"Amelia, what's the big deal?" Lina laughed and then looked 
down at the amulet.
	Amelia gaped in horror as Lina's eyes went wide and her 
face twisted in denying fright.  She shook her head, disbeleiving 
what she was seeing.
	"Lina-"
	Lina grasped Amelia's arm and glared at her bare wrists.  
She couldn't believe she hadn't noticed.  She quickly snapped her 
head back up to look at Amelia, who's eyes were watering.
	"God, Amelia, no. Please, tell me it's a lie. It -it can't be 
true." Lina whispered, backing away from Amelia.
	Amelia started to sob, trying desperatly to explain. "Lina, 
gods, Lina, listen to me-"
	"No..." Lina said, then shouted. "NO!"
	Amelia started to cry, her heart wrenching.

cause this woman needs
a safe place to live
the strength in your hands
to know you know

	"AMELIA! How could you?!  Tell me that is not what I think it 
is!" Lina said, tears starting to form in her own eyes.
	She knew exactly what it was.  It was the symbol of a 
Granting Mage and inside was the symbol of innocence with Amelia's 
justice star behind it.  She couldn't believe that this was happening.
	"Lina, please.  You don't know what it meant....."
	"What, Amelia? What did you get for it?  Peace? Justice? 
Is that what you destroyed yourself for? HUH?!" Lina screamed at her, 
her fists balling up and tears streaming down her eyes.
Her best friend 
had betrayed her, all of them.  She had destroyed herself for 
something, had given up everything inside of her, her soul for a wish.
	"What the hell is wrong with you?! I Can't believe this! 
Amelia, you killed yourself! What did you wish for?! WHAT?!!!?!--" 
Lina paused, staring at her weeping friend, finally catching on.
	"Oh, god, no. Amelia, you didn't.....not......the cure?"
	Amelia sobbed, wiping her nose and nodding.
	Lina broke down in sobs of her own, a nervous wreck and started 
pacing the room maddly. She felt her heart wrenching and her chest 
being drowned in a heavy weight.
	"HOW!? HOW?!!? YOU LET HIM DO THAT TO YOU SO YOU COULD GET THE
FREAKING CURE?!?!?!!?! Amelia! What is wrong with you???!!! Why?! 
Does he mean so much to you!!??!" Lina continued to yell at and berate 
her friend in her nervous frenzy of a fit, still pacing and
shaking her fists as she cried, her friend on the floor, face in 
her hands, sobbing maddly.

what this woman needs
is somewhere to cry
so lay by my side
and I'll tell you

	"What the hell-?" Zelgadis said as he ran down the hall.  He 
could hear Amelia's cries and Lina's screams, though he could not 
make out what either were saying.
	He entered the room to find a devistating emotional sight.  
Lina was pacing the right side of the room, screaming and crying out 
her disbelief, while Amelia simply sat in the left corner, away
from the bed and Lina, crying and watching her friend spaz out.  
She spotted Zelgadis and gasped.
	Lina turned when Zelgadis entered, her eyes watering more.  
She looked over to Amelia and continued, shaking her head at her."Gods, 
Amelia, how could you? How could you do that?!?!?!"
	"Do what? What happened?" Zelgadis asked, getting scared.  
Especially for poor Amelia who was sitting crouched in the corner, 
getting an emotional beating from Lina.
	Lina swung around to face Zelgadis and pointed at Amelia in 
fury. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT SHE DID? Do you? Gods!!  Amelia!! I can't believe--" 
she cut herself off with a sob.
	"Lina, what that hell is going on!? What happened, what 
did Amelia do??" he started to freak out.  Lina wasn't this stressed 
about anything.
	"You know what she did?!? I'll tell you what she did!!" Lina 
yelled looking at Amelia.
	Amelia's eyes became wide with fear. "NO! Lina, no please! 
NO!"
	"Yes!!!", she turned back to face Zelgadis, "You remember 
that drink? The one at your party that she insisted you drink all of???" 
Lina asked through sobs.
	Zelgadis was totally confused. "Yes?"
	"NO NO!! LINA, NO!" Amelia, closed her eyes and sobbed, 
then opened them to cry at her friend.
	"Lina...." Zelgadis inched closer to her.
	"Do you know what she put in it??"
	"My cure..."
	"And do you know how she got it?  Did she tell you what she 
DID to get it?" she asked, crying harder.
	Now Zelgadis was scared. What had Amelia done?
	"No....." he asked, fear boiling.
	"LINA! NO!!!! NO!!..." Amelia sobbed, reaching out for her 
friend to stop.
	"She went to a Granting Mage and he took her innocence for 
your cure!!!" Lina almost screamed, sobbing.
	Amelia's head fell into her lap as she cried harder, not able 
to look up.
	Zelgadis was in shock..." what.....?"
	"He FUCKED HER! HE STOLE HER INNOCENCE AND PUT IT IN YOUR DRINK! 
HER INNOCENCE WAS YOUR CURE!"
	"Amelia...." Zelgadis felt tears well up.
	"I-I'm going for a walk...I need to think.....no, 
I need to not think....." Lina sobbed and rushed out.
	Zelgadis stood in the doorway staring at Amelia's fallen 
form in the corner.

I'll tell you
what this woman needs
to be reasured
that my hearts your home

	Zelgadis' heart squeezed as he shook and made his way over to 
the wailing Amelia, her head still hidden.  He knelt down in front of 
her.
	"Amelia......." he said in almost a whisper.  She continued to 
rock herself and sob.
	Zelgadis licked his lips. "Amelia...is it true?"
	Amelia nodded and sobbed harder. "I'm so sorry......I..."
	Zelgadis felt a warm tear roll down his cheek and felt anger 
sweep through him.  His body started to shake and he swallowed the 
lump in his throat. "Amelia, look at me." he said.
	Amelia shook her head shakily and Zelgadis felt himself 
hurting even more.
	"Amelia....look. at. me."
	"I can't." she whispered.
	Zelgadis growled and grabbed her wrists, then pinned her 
against the wall, still in a kneeling/sitting position.
	Amelia's body shook with heavy sobs as she looked at his 
angry eyes, then away, ashamed of herself.
	Zelgadis let go of her hands and she sank back down.

and love is what wills you to stay
I need you to see me
in every light
and hear that

	He knew that he wasn't helping and to walk away like Lina 
would make Amelia feel worse. She had given up the very essence of 
her being for him...just to make him happy.
	Leaning forward, he grabbed Amelia by the waist and 
lifted her with him, taking her in his arms, hushing her by rocking 
her body softly against his.
	"Amelia, what you did was stupid, spontanious and outright 
insane..."he started, but smiled. "but it was also the bravest, most 
selfless and loving act I have ever known anyone to do.
You are the most 
amazing person I have every known and I don't know what I would do 
without you." he whispered.
	Amelia pulled back and looked at him in shock. "Y-you 
mean...that?" she asked.
	All Zel could do was smile.  His smile faded. "Why?"
	"I.....", Amelia paused. Could she tell him? What if he rejected 
her and ran away? He already knew what she'd done for him. For his 
happiness. Would he hate her reasons? Would he
hate her?
	"Amelia? Amelia, you have to tell me why."
	"I wanted you to be happy." she said quietly. "That's 
all I ever want for you is to be happy because...." Amelia stopped 
again. She was so scared.
	Zelgadis sensed her hesitation and knew there was more. "Why?" 
he asked her again. "Truthfully....why?" he bent his head slightly to 
look at her.
	Amelia covered her face with her hands and mumbled as well 
as she could her answer.
	"What?" Zelgadis asked.
	Amelia looked up, slightly angry at having to say it and face 
his rejection. "I said because I love you." she cried and then started 
to sob again. She layed down on her bed and covered her face with her 
pillow as her tears ran freely.
	

you still think I beautiful
anyways
what this woman needs
a safe place to live

	Zelgadis sat back and let his mind wander on what she said. 
She loved him? How could she? After how terrible he had been to her. 
His mind began to wonder back to the years he had
known her. He 
had treated her bad, but there had been great times. Times they would 
laugh, times they would mourn togather. He remembered lifting his cape 
over her head in the pouring rain to keep her from getting wet and 
catching cold. That beautiful smile she had smiled at him.  He remembered
the one time when 
they had gone on a seperate route from Lina and Gourry for a few hours 
to meet up on the opposite side and he had given her a piggyback ride, 
her giggling the entire time. She had even kissed him on the cheek for 
that. The dinners they had shared, the books and spells they had
discussed. There were alot of good memories too. Now he realized that 
she really did love him. How could he have missed it. Those quick looks 
she gave him all the time when she thought he wasn't
looking. How she 
always held onto his arm. The way her eyes sparkled when she looked 
at him sometimes. Even the contentfullness and peace she seemed to 
feel when they were in relaxed conversation.
	How could he have missed it. Now all he had to do is figure out 
how he felt. They always if you can imagine life without that 
person, then your love isn't true. He shuddered when he
remembered the 
time that Amelia had died at the hands of Hellmaster. He remembered 
how he had reacted, getting himself killed. He couldn't imagine 
life without this precious woman who loved him
so much she gave 
up the one thing that made her her. She may have physically given up 
her innocence, but to him she was still as innocent as she always had 
been. Only not so naive. He knew his answer instantly. He loved her.
	Zelgadis sat back in amazment. He was in love with Amelia. When 
did this happen. He smiled remembering how she smiled, how she laughed 
and he knew why. And he wasn't about to throw something this good 
away. Not for all the money in the world. Even if he were still Chimera.
He would have given up all the cures in the world just to have a lifetime 
with the beautiful crying woman.  Wait, crying.....he'd have to stop 
that. Zelgadis smiled.

the strength in your hads
to know you know
what this woman needs
is somewhere to cry

	Amelia was confused. He wasn't doing anything. He hadn't even 
moved. After what seemed like an eternity, she felt movement. He was 
leaving. Good, at least then she could cry without
sufficating, but 
most of her wanted him to stay with her. She felt movement again 
and realized that he was still on the bed. Then she felt more movement. 
The bed was creasing more and more in her direction. MY GODS! He was 
crawling up to her! Amelia pulled away from the pillow a bit to see if
she could understand what he was doing. She felt a hand on her head. 
Soft, comforting and trying to get her to lift her head by stroking 
her hair. Amelia carefully rolled over onto her back in confusion
and looked up into the soft smiling face of Zelgadis. She couldn't help 
the momentary small smile that fluttered over her face.
	He stroked his hand through her hair, looking at this beautiful 
woman of his. His. Yes, that's what she was...if she wanted him still.
	"Amelia.....you have no idea.....I..." he started, but 
sighed, finding it hard to say the words. Lowering his head, he layed 
his chin on her shoulder and buried his face into her thick black hair.
	"I love you Amelia. I love you, too." he whispered. He 
heard Amelia gasp and a whole 'nother set of sobs set in. He lifted 
himself up off of Amelia and looked deep into her eyes before lowering 
his face to hers and slowly kissing away the tears on her cheeks. 
Amelia's mouth blossomed into a smile and her arms wrapped around 
his neck holding on for dear life as he kissed
his way slowly to 
her mouth. When his gentle lips pressed against hers, Amelia's world 
became perfect. He slowly pressed his lips to hers before a gentle 
tongue traced her lips. Amelia opened her mouth to his probing tongue 
and pulled him closer as he memorized her mouth with his.
	After long moments, Zelgadis pulled back and looked at Amelia, 
smiling. Now all they had to do is calm Lina down, Amelia thought 
with a smile before pulling her love back down for another kiss.


so lay by my side
and I'll tell you
I'll tell you
what this woman needs
END

Sequal? yes? no? let me know!!! I think I have the perfect song 
for it too.
