Innej: This is my first written piece of fan fiction. This chapter has been revised. I was disgusted by all the spelling error's I had, so it should be better now! I'd really like to know what people think about it, so review please.

Inspiration: The idea for this story actually came from a funny experience I had with a good friend of mine.

Disclaimer: Nope, I don't own Slayers. Wish I did but sadly I don't. :(

A Couple?

"This looks like a good place to rest." Lina pointed to a very luxurious looking inn. She and Gourry had recently raided a nearby bandit camp. The poor thieves never saw it coming, and Lina made sure to make quick work of them, taking her well-earned reward. What was it with bandits and good treasure? They were unintelligent sure enough, but they always had the best loot, like valuable jewels, ancient scrolls, etc. You name it, and they usually had it.

"Are you sure you want to stay here, Lina?" The blond swordsman questioned. "This place looks pretty expensive."

"Tch, like that matters," The red haired sorceress waved her hand dismissively. "With all the cash those bandits had, we've got more than enough money."

"Okay!" Gourry smiled following her inside the inn. Just as they thought, the interior was just as lavish as the outside. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling cascading rows of jewels elegantly. Neatly furnished furniture sat on the walls, draped in a velvety red colored fabric. A fur trimmed rug sat at the center of the room, enveloped by the warm brown colors painted on the walls.

"What a sight," Lina whistled, gazing at the posh decorations. Yeah it was a bit over the top, but she felt that just for a night her and Gourry deserved to be treated like royalty.

"Let's check in!" the fire maned sorceress said excitedly, walking up to the check in desk.

"Good evening, ma'am, sir." A well-dressed woman spoke with a richly refined tone in her voice. "Will you be checking in tonight?"

"You better believe we are." Lina leaned on the table; she was definitely looking forward to all the benefits that came with this place. Think of it, she could get a massage, bathe in luxurious minerals and oils, and fine dine on some first class food. Just the thought of eating gourmet food made her drool. The woman scoffed at her bad manners, while pulling out a large book.

"May I have your names?" The innkeeper lady pulled out an extravagant writing utensil, turning the book to a clean page.

"I'm Gourry Gabriev," The swordsman smiled joyfully jerking his thumb at his chest, and then placed a hand on his companions shoulder. "And this is my girl, Lina Inverse!"

"Wha, what?!" Lina spluttered blushing furiously. Just what in the name of Shabrinigdou is he thinking?

"Oh, how absolutely delightful," The innkeeper exclaimed excitedly clasping her hands together, gazing at the pair dreamily. "You two must be dating!"

"Dating?" Gourry questioned looking very confused.

"N, no" Lina muttered embarrassedly.

"No need to be shy now," The woman smiled. "You two look like you've been together for a long time! Am I right?"

"Oh yeah" Gourry nodded, realization just dawning on him. "Lina and I have been together for a long time! As a matter of fact," he continued much to the sorceress's dismay. "There's not a time when we're not together!"

"How sweet!" The woman swooned.

"We're not, not dating," Lina tried desperately to dissolve the situation, and Gourry with his cluelessness were definitely not helping.

"Couples get a special bonus package." The innkeeper took out a couple of brochures, explaining them to Gourry.

"Wow," The blond swordsman gaped, at the special offers, from honeymoon suites, romantic candlelit dinners, to lotions, creams, and other products to help, ahem set the mood. "Check this out Lina!"

"We're. Not. A. Couple!" She hissed, her blush growing a deeper shade of red.

"Huh, a couple," He said loudly, still ever confused. "A couple of what?"

"Jellyfish brains!" She cried.

"Oh, and don't worry," The innkeeper continued ever oblivious to Lina's hot protests. "We have a lovely bedroom suite for first time couples-"

"WE'RE NOT DATING!!" The hot tempered sorceress shouted loudly, and promptly Dragon Slaved the inn in all of its extravagant glory. So much for being treated like royalty.
