"Blanket Scenario"

Author's note: A short explanation of what the so-called Blanket Scenario is: It's usually a short fanfic involving two characters that are stuck in a cabin in a snowstorm (or blizzard, no one's picky) and there is only one blanket. I got this idea from Chelsea's Page, where she hosts Blanket Scenarios for Rurouni Kenshin characters. I think Miss Nightfall has also written a few scenarios for Slayers. All disclaimers apply, no part of Slayers belong to me. Also, this is NOT a lemon. NO!

"What the hell is with this storm?!" Filia growled as she and Xelloss plowed through the endless snow. "At this rate we're going to end up as popsicles!"

Xelloss smiled.

"Say something!"

Xelloss grinned. "Look at that sign." He said, pointing to it. Filia blinked, then turned to look.

"Drafty shack for Blanket Scenario... 1/2 miles ahead." She read, sweat-dropping. "What??"

I guess that means we're close to some form of shelter." Xelloss mused, smiling. Filia gave him an irritated glare.

"Stop smiling!"

"Why?"

"Grrr..."

And so the Dragon and the Demon eventually found themselves in front of the drafty shack. Since neither of them really wanted to be frozen solid by the time the storm ended, they entered. Upon entering, they discovered why it was called the Drafty Shack, for indeed, it was very drafty.

"Cold..." Filia groaned as she looked around, hoping to find something that might be of use. Icy wind was seeping in through the crevices in the wall, making her shiver as she rubbed her arms in an attempt to keep warm. Xelloss grinned as he held up an object that he rummaged from one of the drawers in the shack, and her heart sank.

"Only one, Filia-san." He said, still smiling that annoying smile.

"Are you sure?" She asked, eyeing the blanket. It was one of those woefully overused blankets that a small child might carry around. Barely enough, even for two people. "Who gets it?"

The demon stuck his tongue out. "Finders keepers."

"What did you say, you selfish Namagomi?!"

A vein popped on his head. "N-Namagomi?!"

She used that chance to snatch the blanket out of his hands. "Mine!"

He actually gritted his teeth. "Hey, that isn't very fair, you know. For a dragon who's supposed to uphold justice, you're certainly a selfish little creep."

Her eyes narrowed dangerously. "What? Did you just call me selfish?!"

"So what? It's true." He huffed.

That did it. "HOW DARE YOU!" She screamed, throwing the blanket down. The Dragon Jewel at her throat glowed as she transformed.

The author's Drafty Shack for Blanket Scenarios was already battered and beaten by the storm. Filia's transformation into a full-sized Golden Dragon successfully changed its official title from "Drafty Shack" to "Pile of Destroyed Planks."

Author: "I wonder if I can file some sort of Property Damage claim against her?"

"XELLOSS YOU WILL DIE! REPRESSOR!"

Off at the foot of the mountain......

Lina Inverse looked up as a solid pillar of fire erupted from somewhere near the top of the snow-covered mountain. She toppled over when she caught a glimpse of a golden dragon blasting everything in sight. Incidentally, the aattacks also did a very good job of warming the average temperature, since most of the attacks involved fire. Lots of fire.

"FLAME BREATH!"

"My, my, Filia-san. Don't you think destroying the shack was bad enough? I'm sure the author won't forgive you if you destroyed her mountain too!"

"DIE! DIE! DIE!!!"

"Can't we discuss this like rational beings?"

"DIEDIEDIE!"

And so... the Shack and the Mountain perished in this scenario, while Filia and Xelloss kept very warm and toasty by their attempt to kill each other.
