I do not own slayers!

After a long day, The slayers rest at an inn, after there recent adventure involving the Red Priest Rezo! Each having to have there rooms in pairs, at different parts of the inn, pairing LinaxGourry AmeliaxZelgadiss.

It can't be over, it just cant be! Amelia echoed inside her head. She had always thought the group would stick together even after the Red Priest Rezo had been defeated a second time.

"Well I guess we go our separate ways here" Lina announced. "Unless everyone's fine with sticking together a while longer?" Looking over to Lina, Amelia sits up, slamming her hands on the wooden table. "We should keep together, why should we part when there is so much more evil out there to defeat!" Pounding a fist in the air, while managing a pose with one foot on the table.

"I've been meaning to leave anyways after killing Rezo, I still have to find a cure to get my human body back." spoke Zelgadiss. "Miss. Lina why don't we help Mr. Zelgadiss find a cure? It would be the justice thing to do!" Amelia still managing her pose with fire in her eyes.

"Listen Amelia if Zel wants to keep to himself I couldn't care less, hey are you gonna eat Amelia or am I gonna just have tah snatch it off your plate!" Amelia blocked her food just in time, giving a 'humph' as she sat down. Gourry had been sitting next to Lina this whole time, but of course staying quiet shoving food in his mouth. "Mm hey Zel sure you'll be fine, ya know looking for the cure by yourself?" Zelgadiss gave a nod indicating a yes.

"I'll be leaving in the morning" making way to his room. "N-no wait Mr. Zelgadiss!" Amelia had gotten up slightly, a hand reaching in his direction with no avail. Noticing her attempts "Ya know Amelia you could ask Zel if you could tag along with him? He might even say yes." Finishing up her meal along with Gourry. "Ah that hit the spot, another order Gourry?" Lina had started signaling the waiter for another dish. "Sure as long as I get to eat !" "Not on your life!"

Amelia had been thinking, maybe Zelgadis-san would allow her to travel with him, but there was still no guarantee, but I mean everyone enjoys some company better then none right?

Reaching her room, her eyes wondered to the door over. Hm now would be the best time to ask, who knows if I'll wake up early enough to even say bye! The thought of never seeing Zelgadiss made her feel horrible, but of course who wouldn't if a close friend was leaving for who knows how long.

Walking a few courage's steps , came a few knocks at his door. Guess he isn't here? He couldn't have already gone right? As the seconds passed, there was finally a reply on the other end. "Who's there?" "Its Amelia, I wanted to ask you something, may I come in?" There was a slight pause. "Sure, just getting ready, come in."

Opening the door to his room, she noticed he had already nearly finished packing all of his equipment. Her heart started to beat harder then usual, it wasn't a surprise to her that he had already been nearly done, but the question she was going to ask seemed to be getting a lot harder to ask.

"So what did you want to ask me Amelia?" He looked eye to eye with her, making Amelia red on the face a little. Ah! Why am I having such a hard time with this, Mr. Zelgadiss wont be harsh on me if he does say no, just ask already! "I was just wondering if you um, needed any help packing?" Smooth Amelia, way to pass up a chance. "I'm almost done here, there really isn't much I could ask your help on.." " Sorry to disrupt your packing then! I'll see you later Mr. Zelgadiss." She made a quick turn, already half way out the door.

"Hold on Amelia." She paused, making so he could see only half her face, trying not to sound nervous "Yes Mr. Zelgadiss?" He hesitated, "Hm forget about it, I'll see you later." "Er..okay." She closed the door, leaning against it. Stupid, stupid, stupid! Why didn't you ask? Amelia now giving herself soft physical punches to the head. He was right there, waiting for me and I still. Ugh!

Amelia had then slumped back to her room.

Getting ready she changed into her night gown. Sitting at the edge of her bed. It still isn't to late, I could try once more.

She then heard a knock at her door. Who could that be?

"Amelia it's me, may I come in?" Realizing who's voice it had belonged to her heart started to race. No It couldn't be? Taking a deep breath to keep calm she called, "Come in."

Walked in Zelgadiss, strange he didn't have his night garments on, he had been in his regular cloths, with cape and all. Amelia realizing now what she was wearing, covered her self a bit, using her sheets to cover every bit below her stomach, also keeping her legs together in a curl.

"Hello Zelgadiss-san what can I help you with?" She gave him a smile, noticing his slight blush on his cold blue cheeks. "Amelia I wanted to ask if you.." His head ended up tilting while his eyes gazed towards a different direction, avoiding her eyes. "If you would like to accompany me to the next town over." There was silence, then Zelgadiss gave a slight sigh. "If you don't want to go then I'll understand."

Amelia was shocked, what she had wanted to ask him earlier, he had asked her! She was dumbfounded never had it crossed her mind he would come to her room, asking for this favor.

"Why ?" Even though she so eagerly wanted to say yes, she had to know a reason for it first. They were friends what other reason could he give?

Zelgadiss stood there, now looking at her, then quickly looking away once more. "Well do you want to come or not?" He crossed his arms, still that light blush on his skin.

Amelia smiled, she didn't need a reason, she was just happy he had came to her and asked, especially since she had wanted to ask him the same question. "Of course Zelgadiss-san, I'll be glad to accompany you." He closed his eyes, letting out what seemed to be relief. "Alright I'll be seeing you then, in a few hours, don't forget to pack all of your necessities." She nodded. "Yes sir!" "Right I'll be next door if you need anything" and with that he left her room, leaving a cheerful Amelia laying on her bed.
