You never know

Chapter.1

A beautifull sunny day as our group approaches the Avaron island, once again on the search for forgotten treasures, Zelgadiss's cure and possibly exciting adventures. Usually even if all the other plans fail to work out, they never fail to get mixed in some kind of evil plot. Lina's temper and power alone attrackes more than enough Mazoku. Not to mention her eating habits attracked the attention of all involved humans. Well one can't really tell if attract is the right word, scare would be more appropriate considering how they flinch in disgust and try to avoid any flying bones or utensils. Just as Gourry is trying to avoid Lina's temper this very moment.

"Gourry you really gotta have jellyfish for brains! I told you multiple times, it's AvaRon, not AvaLon!" Lina was hissing through gritted teeth slowly approaching Gourry with a devilish grin on her face and a Fireball in her palm.

"But…but, but…Lina, please…", was all Gourry could manage before Lina unleashed the Fireball at him. Charred to a crisp he fell to the floor. Little did he notice that his fringe was half burned away and his eyebrows missing, when he breathed out some smoke.

"Geez, having to repeat myself makes me angry." Sighting she grabed Gourry by the collar dragging him behind herself as he didn't seem to be willing to walk on his own two feet anymore.

Amelia and Zelgadiss didn't dare to speak up and risk getting a Fireball as well. Instead they just walked quickly behind. That is until the deadly silence got interrupted by the loud howling noise coming from Lina's tummy. Amelia and Zelgadiss sweatdropped and Gourry's head shot up high. Lina stopped midway in her steps, blushing a rosy colour.

-Moment of silence- (You can hear the birds chirp and the leaves dance in the wind, lalala…)

"I'm…hungry…"

-Again a moment of silence where no one speaks up and again you can hear everyone breathe in the silence created by the utter shock of everyone included-

"Lina, your stomach's so loud it woke me up!" Gourry earned himself an instant punch and flew a good two feet away, while Lina fummed.

"I NEED FOOD! WE HAVEN'T EATEN AT ANY PROPER RESTAURANT IN DAYYYYYS" Screaming at the top of her lungs and stomping her foot violently in the ground, she turned around to Zelgadiss, burning a hole into him with her bare glare.

A giant sweatdrop formed on the side of Zelgadiss's face as Amelia took a few steps to the right, to get out of Lina's glare range. "We can get some fish as soon as we arrive and set up a camp … We're probably only a few hours away." Zelgadiss flinched as Lina's sharp finger bore in the middle of his chest, still burning a hole into him with her bare intense stare.

"But I'm hungry NOW! We're doing this whole trip cause of YOUR cure so go hunt something down now or I'm not taking another step forward!" Pressing her finger as deep as the stone skin would buldge to make a clear statement on how serious she was.

…

A grin spread on his face. The scene was rather amusing to watch. Gourry punched a good 2 feet away, with his face in the ground eating dirt, Amelia a secure 5 steps away from Zelgadiss to prevent Lina's glare directing at her and then this stone boy with a sweatdrop on his face looking rather small compared to this furious red haired girl pressing her finger into his stone skin burning him down with her glare. "Yare yare… as lively as always." Chuckling Xellos took off to add to the fun enrolling beneath him on the ground.

…

Zelgadiss was slowly buldging under Lina's glare, arching his back backwards as far as his spine would allow him without taking a step, while Lina was hovering over him fumming like mad. Finaly giving in and taking a step back he sighed in defeat. "Ok…I go hunt down some rabbits. It would be helpful if you revived Gourry to help me hunt down more." Putting the palm of his hand against his forehead, Zelgadiss went off the main road and into the deep forest. The glare grin battle with Lina took a lot of power out of him, giving him a killer headache along with eye-pain.

Lina seemingly content with her work on Zelgadiss now turned directing her glare upon Amelia, making her stiff in an instant. She shook her head directing at Amelia, then pointed towards Gourry, then ran her finger across her neck symbolizing what's going to happen if she doesn't hurry to cast a healing spell on the good for nothing swordsman. Amelia instantly ran over and went on trying to revive Gourry.

Lina then looked around seeking for a shaded place to sit down, while waiting for others to finish their assigned work. After all, she was against this journy, why waste her time on a deserted island when she could be in Atlas City searching for some ancient manuscripts and eating good food at restaurants. Locating a not so sunny place underneath a massive tree, she slowly literaly dragged her legs behind her, whilst her stomach growled loudly. Leaning against the tree with an arm, she looked behind if Amelia was proceeding as expect from her. Turning her head back towards the tree and screamed loud enough for everyone to hear her within a mile radius.

"Oi Lina-san, is that any way to greet an old friend. I almost went deaf." Removing a finger from his ear, Xellos chuckled at the reaction he pressed from Lina. The fear that came from everyone hearing the ear piercing scream tasted rather delicious. The annoyance following after Lina realised it's been him, tasted even more refreshing. Xellos savored all of it. Lina always offered the best emotions the human race could possibly offer. Cracking an eye open at Lina he smirked. "I thought I will accompany you for a while Lina-san!" a huge smile spreading on his face.

-Moment of silence-

"Xellossssss…" Lina hissed through gritted teeth, closing her hand into a fist and raising it in preparation, before planting it in the Mazoku's face.

Xellos head made a hole in the tree bark, when Lina's fist connected with his face. A small sweatdrop forming on the side of his face as well. "Lina-san! That might have hurt if I were human!"

"What do you want here Xellos, your presence never means anything good for us."

"What Lina-san I just came to look at my old friends. It's always so fun to accompany you all." Cracking an innocent smile, he more than just savored all the annoyance firmly radiating from Lina.

Lina was starring daggers at Xellos until her stomach growled loudly again. Sinking down to her knees, she dropped her head in defeat. She really had no psychical of physical strenght to try and force the Mazoku Priest away. Despicing his presence, she went over to a huge log and sat down. This was going to be a long long evening.
