"We've got 'er boys, pull back, pull back!" a grating voice yelled into a medium sized clearing. Ten yokai give strong sighs of relief and ran away as fast as they could. These people would have killed them in no time flat, if they hadn't lost their leader. The blue guy though, he had taken out over a hundred of the yokai, and that scared them.
"No! Amelia, cast a containing spell!" the blue guy shouted.
A young raven haired girl looked at the ground sheepishly and murmured as quietly as possible, "I don't know the containment spell..." But it wasn't quiet enough.
"What do you mean, you don't know the containme-never mind, they're getting away!" he gave a battle cry and charged after them, but they were already at their portal and were on their way through. It closed up just as he reached it.
"Shimatta!" He cursed and turned around. There was nothing he could do right now. Maybe the library had information on portals. He turned and left, his cape blowing slightly in the breeze.
"Mr. Zelgadis, wait for me!!!" Amelia ran after him, tripping on a root and, muttering about the unJust placement of the root, caught up to him.
In the library Zelgadis was searching through every book he could find, when Gourry walked in.
"Zel? Have you seen Lina? She promised to treat me to dinner..." Gourry looked around like he would see her hiding behind a bookcase.
"Leave is to Gourry to remember anything to do with food." Zelgadis muttered underneath his breath. "She only promised to buy you dinner if we were successful in our mission. If we failed, you had to buy. We failed; you get to buy her dinner. But that will be a problem."
"Why's that?" Gourry scratched his head and smiled innocently.
"Because the fiends of Justice stole her from our grasp! Using unJust methods, they took her and hid her in their unJust portals!" Amelia burst out, unable to contain it any longer.
"Fiends? Portals? Hid?" Gourry looked at Zelgadis for clarification.
"Some lower Yokai came and kidnapped Lina. They opened a small portal to the demon world and took her there." Zelgadis frowned worriedly. "If she stays there for too long, we will have few to no ways of getting her back. But what bothers me most, is that she can do them absolutely no good. She's not a demon..."
Martina danced by the window and a loud shout could be heard. "Lina got her just desserts, Lina got her just desserts!"
"Fireball!" a now roasted Martina rested outside, the ball of fire having gone through the window.
"That was unjust, Mr. Zelgadis! Hitting her when she didn't know you were there!" guess who said that!
"It was Just. She was celebrating Lina's capture by demons."
"But...she was...I must consult my bedtime stories of Justice book and see if that's in there!" Amelia pulls out a big book, as tall as Zelgadis, and begins reading. "Line 693, 'Hitting any person, no matter the reason, is considered a felony of Justice.' See? It's a felony of Justice!" looking proudly at her book, Amelia shut it and slipped it into her cape.
"But it doesn't say anything about hitting a person when their back is turned." Zelgadis pointed out smugly.
"But that's not any different. It's still hitting!"
"Hitting someone when their back is turned is not hitting them. It's different." 'Right,' he thought, 'it's sneaky, but anyway.'
"But..."
"Does your book of Justice say anything about hitting people when their back is turned?"
"No..."
"I didn't think so." He smiled smugly and turned away. He picked up another book and blinked. "Hmmm, maybe she can help. I went to the River Styx once. The pilot there was really pretty, and she told me it wasn't my time yet, that I was just supposed to wait. I don't remember anything about her except her unusually cheery attitude, like Lina, and her blue hair..."
So, how did you like it? The idea wouldn't go away, so I had to write it. :P I hope you will review, if you even read. Bai bai! Oh! I don't own Slayers OR Yu Yu Hakusho and that is the only time I am going to say that so don't ask me to say that again! Oh, oh, oh!!! I'm turning fifteen!!!! Yeah yeah, I know that's nothing big to all of you people, but at my school, being fifteen gets you privileges. Plus, one of my best friends is making me cheesecake!!!!! Yummy! My birthday is August 17th!
