I'm Your Gaurdian

By: Peonyqt1004

AN: This has almost nothing to do with the original Slayers episode, only the characthers, and their personality... and some taken away plots are shown here. Please note, this is a Xelloss and Lina Pairing fic, with a tint of Gourry and Lina. ^.~ Enjoy and remeber to R and R. (Waves a little flag meekly) Somehow

Prolouge:

"Xelloss...." A tall majestic looking female demon stepped down from her comftable purple couch. A young demon, who looked about 10 years of age looked up. "Yes master?" She waved a hand at him. "My dearest." She said, her voice turning kind and motherly as she looked at him. "I have a favor from L-sama herslef." "L-sama? You mean the god of Chaos?" The little purple haired boy with the helmet haircut asked, he seated himself near the foor of Zela's throne, not daring to touch his master, scared that she would beat him, or do worse. "Come sit here Xelloss." Zela commanded, she saw the fear, and she didn't like it, she liked her future generals to be bold and brave. Turning a bit braver, the little purple haired demon scampered up to Zela's lap. "It seems as if L-sama is favoring you." Zela said to Xelloss. "And she told me, if I send one of my most precious demons to protect her human-child, then she would award our Mozuko clan, the clan of the wolf." Zelas paused for effect. "This child is a precious little bit of her, as chaotic and beautiful as the goddess herself. A "image" of her if you can say. Not by looks, but by the childs power, at the age of 16, this child is to be the most powerful chaotic sorceress on the three worlds.... and if we don't return L-sama's favor, we can be destroyed, the child will be destroyed, and the Clan of Mozukus from the Eagle clan shall rise up over us." Xelloss looked curious, his small eyes in small archs of permanent happiness. "I have an assigment for you, and I want you to go visit this girl today."



Chapter 1: "The Little Girl"



Xelloss phased out, he was quite inexperinced at it, but he was proud, he knew how to do it without going to the wrong places now. All he had to do was improve his skills in phasing out more quickly. He held his overly large staff in one hand, and floated akwardly to the small cottage. 'Where is the little girl?' His mind asked, his body may seem young, but his mind, unlike most humans, were quick to mature, and his power was already expanding from the puny little sparks of fire from one of his hands, to a large fireball about the size of his small fist. He heard a little girls voice singing a tune, he was quiet curious as he followed the small quiant voice......

"A rose of crimson,

As dark as the blood in my veins,

Pulses with life and my heart quickens,

As the same chaotic feeling rises up again."

"I see him again, every night,

I don't understand why he's there,

'Little Girl.' He refers to me,

He protects me from afar."

"How silly it is to feel my face flush,

How idiot like my words leave my tounge,

He leaves and comes,

Comes and goes,

And takes my heart with him."

Xelloss curiously walked towards the voice, the voice was off tune and the voice stumbled and paused, as if thinking. He soon came to a clearing, not too far from the house, where a small sandbox lay, and in the box was a little red headed girl. seemed to give up on the tune and started to sing the alphabet. "A b c d e g f.." The girl sang the first few letter of the alphabet. "No, the "f" is before the g." Xelloss corrected. The girl whirled around, face to face with a purple haired boy who was older than her. "Who you?" She asked demandingly. "What do YOU know about the alphabet?!" Smiling quizzically, Xelloss did what he always loved best, even at the age of four, he loved to mess with peoples minds. "What do I know about the alphabet? Who are you? and what do YOU know about the alphabet?" The girl was in loss of words. "You.... you..." The girl sniffed haughtily, turning her back to him. "I'm the great Lina Inverse! What is it to you?" "Great? You are far from it." The little demon felt the negative emotion come from her, stronger than any humans emotion he had felt so far. "YOU!" To his surprise she started chanting a verse from his spell book that was so advanced even he had trouble doing it.

"Darkness beyond twilight, crimson beyond the blood that flows...... " Xelloss decided it was time to phase out. "Sayanora Lina Inverse, Remeber me, I'll be seeing you some day soon." He hurriedly phased out, just seconds before a...... "DRAGU SLAVE!"

(Years later.......)



An angry young teenage girl raced down the pavement of the darkned night street. Panting with every step, she seemed to take one desperate dive as she raced toward the door of a large brightly lit building. Her torn and tattered jacket tore as she tripped while she was at it, sending her tumbling toward the door. She put out both hands in a vain effort to keep from falling flat on her face. "No!" She cried out, scared, a shadow which had been stalking her for some time appeared before her. The girl grasped the torn part of her jacket and yanked, tearing the fabric sleeve off. "No... get away!" sobbing she threw open the doors and ran into the safety of the bright building.

A blonde teenage boy looked up curiously as a redhead girl ran into the room, her eyes large and scared. "Lina?" He asked, unsure. "Shut up jelly fish." She snapped, huffing a little, she sat on the nearest bench there was. "You're late." The blonde man pointed out the obvious, for everyone who was in the room was staring and pointing at her. "Obviously." Lina snapped. She got up and removed her jacket. "What happened Lina? You're jacket--" "Stop asking so much questions." Lina snapped again, and she faced the people staring at her. "Good god people, don't you have better things to do other than stare at me? I am beautiful, but please, I don't like people being so open." The staring stopped and Lina sighed as she turned around. "Wheres my soup Gourry?" She questioned. Gourry looked meek and proud. "I didn't eat it this time!" He said proudlly. "This time I remebered!" He handed her her soup and bread. Lina sighed. "Congrats Gourry Gabriev, it seems as if you succeeded in reaching one goal." With small quick gulps she drakn the soup and ate the bread in a twinkling.

Lina stared at Gourry, she put her head in the palm of her hands and glanced up at him, as if waiting for him to say something. Gourry turned slightly blue, "Um.... Lina what is it?" Lina twitched slightly, a frown and a noticable stress mark growing on her forehead. Her face turned a brilliant color of crimson before she sighed and relaxed. "Nothing Gourry, I would have had a heart attack if you remebered." With a sigh and smiled at Gourry and got up. "See you tommorrow morning, I'm going to crash early, tommorow is our last day in this blasted Orphanage, pack and sleep early jelly fish." With those few words, Lina Inverse left the room, and headed toward her small domain.

Lina lit up the few candles she had scavanged from her quick walk outside. She put a small slice of corn bread on a small dented tin plate and stuck 16 candles in it. With a thin sad voice she sang to herself. "Happy birthday to me... happy birthday to me...." She imagined herself, 6 years ago, in her old home where her parents and her bossy sister sat. She remebered how it was, every birthday they would buy some marble cake and sing this song to her. "Happy birthday dear Lina...." Lina choked back a small sob. "Happy birthday to me...." She blew out the candles, and with a sad smile she imagined her father and mothers face watching over her in heeaven, smiling down at her....... 'If they were here.....' Lina thought to herslef, she almost heard the faint voices from heaven, from her parents.... 'Happy Birthday Dear Lina-chan.....'

'She's 16 now....' A shadowy figure remarked as he floated lazily among the trees near the window of the orphanage. He enjoyed the immense amount of pain being exerted by the little petite figure in the small room. 'Its the start of my assignment.' He thought thoughtfully, resting a head comically in his left hand, he stared at the small figure for a moment. 'I still have to perform the spell of bonding.....' He frowned, the spell was a really strong and strength taking spell, but he had to do it, and soon, he looked around, seeing the small blobs of shadows which was keeping watch of the same window he had been watching. Xelloss quickly used a invisibility spell and hid himself from the shadows. 'Time is getting short, there is only one way to perform it......' He looked at the window, already he knew what he should do. As a trickester preist, he had overheard what was to happen the day after. And at that day, he'll do it.

Lina was tiredly waiting for the train to come and pick them up. Gourry stood next to her, making her look like a dwarf. Gourry started to whistle. Lina's eyebrow twitched. Gourry started to nod his head with the tune as well. Lina's fist twitched. Then Gourry started to dance a little....... *WHACK* Gourry held his face. "LINA!" He cried out. "Sugoi! Why did you do that!" Holding his face he glared at the red headed girl who glared at him with her ruby like orbs. "I wonder." Lina said sarcastically. "Listen Gourry, don't do annoying things! Kuso, its just..... so...... baka." Gourry blinked. Lina pratically saw the words flow from one ear out the next. "Never mind Gourry, just don't do it again." Do what Lina?" Lina twitched. "Nothing." She hugged herself. The breeze was cool against her heated skin. She stared at the passing cumulus nimbus cloud. It was a new beggining. She clutched the thing jacket-now-vest to her thin white blouse, she shivered, it was already getting cold, and the shadows..... were not far behind. She saw them, in her mind, everywhere, she had no place left to run. So she did the only thing she had left to do. Run.The train pulled up before her. With a deep breathe, she boarded.

To be continued.......

R and R plz!

Preveiw: Gently, ever so gently, the demon put the beautiful young girl on her back, brushing back a few of her red tresses while at it. "Sleep...." He whispered gently, he smiled softly, his eyes open to their full expanse. His amyrest eyes reflected the innecont figure which was was curled into a little red ball. 'This innecont figure holds more energy then the sun.' He thought to himself dryly. He took out a small knife, crested with a amyrest stone at tip of the handle. The knife glinted as he brought it up into the air.

REVEIW PLUHZZZZE!
