Okay, I know that I'm stupid and that I should finish my other stories before I put up another one, but... umm... well... I just had to take this idea from my mind. Sorry!
So. This is a story very much like 'Singin' Slayers', but I plan to put more work in this one and to make it few chapters long. Horrible, isn't it?
But I have worse news – I decided that I'll try to write it by myself and not to bother Airi with all my 'work' (I have really BIG problems with my school lately, so if she is at least half as much tired annoyed as me... well, I hope that she isn't. So bad news – here comes back Akita with a looooooot of mistakes, misspellings etc. Please, be lenient...
This time, at the beginning of the story we find Slayers band... surprisingly NOT in an inn, but in the middle of the road to nowhere.
Just joking.
Lina co are in a restaurant, having their usual fight-for-food. Well, at least Lina, Gourry and Amelia, because Zel was as usual sipping his coffee and trying to look as if he didn't know these freaks next to him, Filia was sipping her tea and Xellos was probably in the neighbourhood wreaking chaos, pain and sorrow. Don't ask, you don't want to know the details.
So as I said, Lina almost whole co were fighting to fill their stomachs.
"Miss Lina, it's unjust! You've eaten whole chicken!"
"Shut up Amelia! I'm hungry and nothing's gonna stand between me and... GOURRY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY SPAGHETTI!" yelled Lina throwing a few fireballs at him, but blonde knowingly dodged them and moved away for a while.
Well, maybe he's not the smartest person in the neighbourhood, but during his travels with Lina he learned one thing – It's better to move from her way, hoping that she'll accidentally miss something , than get burned and still be hungry.
Suddenly, all lights in the room went dim; windows and door closed with a loud 'smack'. All people, including Slayers band, jumped from their places looking around. Then, all candles in the room blew out, one after another. Zelgadis drew out his sword, and so did Lina.
"Guys, is everything okay?" asked redhead staring in the darkness trying to see anything.
"Yeah, but what's going on?"
"Mr. Zelgadis! I'm scared!" said Amelia glomping to the figure next to her.
"Umm... Amelia... As far as I remember Zel was on your right.."
"Oh, sorry Miss. Lina!" apologised Ame and a few moments later chimera felt tiny hands around his waist.
' God thanks that it's so dark..." he thought feeling warmth coming to his cheeks.
In that moment all candles lit up.
'Damn...'
Lina glanced at the room, but she didn't notice anything strange or unusual. Well, madly blushing Zelgadis who is being clutched by Amelia... you just get used to it. She looked left to see if Gourry's all right... but he wasn't there!
Lina quickly turned around to find him, but blonde was nowhere to be seen. Just as she started anicing, she looked at the table...
"What are YOU doing with MY roasted beef! FIREBALL!"
Slayers gang took their seats pretending that nothing has happened...
But evil was watching them... Their every move... Evil was close... VERY close...
Zel turned right saying "Filia, would you please give me that kettle of coffee..."
He stopped in the middle of the sentence realising, that on the chair, which was supposed to be free (because Xellos was off) was now seating GAGGED and TIED Xel, and that someone was leaning against his chair.
That 'someone' was dressed in long, black cape, had green-greyish eyes and hair of an unidentified colour (mix of blonde brown) and happened to be a girl.
(Guess whom... MOI of course. Who else would have such sick ideas... Okay, maybe not me, but let's say that my alter ego. Who cares, read on!)
In that moment whole table noticed an extra guest.
"Who are you?" asked Lina
"And how did you do this to him! I tried so many times and I never could, even hitting him with my mace gave me..." Filia stopped her babbling when Lina sent her a look.
"... nevermind .."
Girl threw mazoku off his chair (Golden dragon ACCIDENTALY stepped on him) and took a seat.
"My name is not important. Important is what I can give YOU."
Lina co blinked, so she continued.
"I have an offer for you – I will make your deepest dreams come true, but you have to do me a favour..."
"What kind of favour" asked redhead. Gourry took advantage on the situation putting everything he could into his mouth, chimera last his contact with reality because of certain princess clutched to his arm.
'Thatgirl isstrange...Anyway, it'sa good pretext to be near to Zel-chan...'
And Filia was way to preoccupied with indenting her heel into one's mazoku head.
"Well, let's say that you'll be forced to play a game with sick rules, which really don't exist, forced to do things against your will and everything will be given to public eyes, so you'll probably loose your honour and dignity." Lina twitched and tried to interrupt, but girl continued "If you survive, I'll give make your deepest wishes come true." Redhead narrowed her eyes. " Let's say like mountains of money.. and as much food as you can put in your stomach.." after these words sorceress eyes went starry.
"Okay, WE agree!" jumped Lina
Girl grinned. "My name is Haiiro" she said giving her a hand. Lina shook her hand and in that moment she and all her companions dissapeard.
:Grey in Japanese. Lately obsessed with this colour D. :
When Lina opened her eyes she saw that she's not in the inn anymore. It was rather big building with glass roof showing starred, night sky. Walls were covered with lamps that beamed with red light. She also noticed that one wall of that strange room was actually a curtain, from behind of which came quite music and sounds of people talking.
"Hey, Lina, are you okay?" redhead heard Gourry's question, but she couldn't see him.
"Yeah... Actually yes."
"Great. Now would you please get off us?" Lina looked down and she noticed that all her friends were lying beneath her.
"Oops, sorry!"
The whole group stood up looking around the room. Except of Xellos, because he was still tied down, but no one seemed to care...
"Woke up already?" They turned around as one man to see that freakin' girl leaning against the wall. "That's good. I suppose you would like to know what to do."
"Lina, what's going on in here?" chimera turned around to sorceress.
"Well.. uhh.. you know. I agreed to participate in one game..." she said sweatdropping "because as a reward that girl promised to fulfil our wishes, so you see..." she looked at twitching Zel " you can ask her to turn you back..."
Chimera mood instantly changed. "Is that true?" he asked Haiiro.
"I will make your deepest wishes come true. I said that before, but NO ONE wanted to listen me. Hmpf" she seemed to be quite annoyed with fact that they ignored her before.
Zel thought for a while. Well, becoming a normal human WAS his deepest wish, so what he had to loose? But one thing hounted his mind...
"So what are the rules of this game?" asked Filia
"I wanted to ask the same question" joined her Zelgadis.
"Well, none" girl ginned " I will make them during the game"
Group sweatdrop.
Slayers gang gathered in a circle to discuss topic of participating in that sick play"
"Something stinks in here. I think we shouldn't risk." Said Zel
"But if she's true I think that it's worth it." Filia looked at faces of her friends.
"Who is that girl?"
"But if there are no rules she can do everything with us!"
"For the sake of Justice we shouldn't resign from such marvellous chance to bring eternal peace to the world!"
"I'm hungry."
"Hurry up guys! I won't wait forever!" yelled Haiiro.
"Okay, quick decision. I will take part in it." Lina raised her hand to the middle of the circle.
"If Lina's in, I'm too." Gourry placed his hand on redheads.
( :blush:blush:)
"What do we have to loose? "said Filia joining them.
"Count me in!" said Amelia putting her hand on Filia's.
Zelgadis just sighed, but knowing that he's in minority, he also joined them.
Meanwhile, girl approached to mazoku and took the gag from his mouth.
"NO WAY! I'm NOT in your games! I'M the one to manipulate others!" he yelled immediately as he could talk.
"As if you had any choice..." sighed Haiiro untying him. " I asked Beastmaster to rent you, so you have no choice." Girl smirked.
"Why, Beastmaster. WHY? FOR WHAT?" yelled mazoku making dramatical pose.
: Meanwhile, on the Wolfpack Island:
"For 1000 gold pieces, NO WAY I said. For 2000, NO! But for 20 bottles of fine Zephillia wine I would give away my own life..." said Zellas sipping more dark liquid from her glass.
:Back to Slayers:
Xel sweatdrooped.
Lina co faced Haiiro "Okay, we agree to take part in your game."
"Great" she answered "So let the fun begin!"
In that moment all lights went bright blinding everyone in the room, from the floor suddenly emerged 7 armchairs, six on one side of page, side to curtains, and one standing separately, with a table covered with bunch of paper next to it. Slayers cast took their seats, Lina in pink armchair, Gourry in the blue one, Amelia white, Zel beige, Filia yellow and Xellos in purple one. Their crazy host sat down on a luxurious green armchair that stood face to them.
Before Lina managed to ask "And what?" a curtain raised and they were greeted with loud applause. Slayers gang saw that they were in place that seemed to be a restaurant with a scene, where they were.
Few seconds later applause faded away and now only one person was clasping, but...
:smack:kick:boom:
..he was quickly quietened by the security.
"Okay, Haiio, Haini, or what your name was. What re we supposed to do now?" asked chimera sarcastically.
"What do you mean what? SING, OF COURSE!"
Slayers's mouths gaped wide open.
"NOT AGAIN!"
Well, this the first chapter. Sorry 'bout my English, but... hey! Now I have my winter vacation (or whatever you call it) so my "English-thinking" is a little bit... out of order. Sorry!
Please, tell me about my mistakes, so I can correct them :)
Anyway, RR Of course!
Flames welcome! It's damn cold in here...
