Chapter 1: The Parting of Ways(prolouge)
Lina sighed with contenment. "You think the food was good here Gourry?" A loud and resounding burp was her enthusiastic answer. "I agree." She said happily
as she patted her full belly. Gourry smiled his dumb blonde smile again. "So where are we heading off to now Lina?" Lina sighed. "I really don't know, now its just the two of us, there seems like there is less things to do. We can do mecenry stuff." Gourry nodded. Lina smiled a little as she watched Gourry look out blankly at the ceiling. She nearly jumped as she heard a clack behind her. "Excuse me?" A small girly waiteress asked Lina. "Um, heres your bill." The girl handed her a recipet. Lina nudged Gourry. "Gourry, got any money on you?" Gourry looked at her strangely. "I don't have any......." Lina fell off her chair. "Oh great!" Lina dug into her wallet. "Here!" She put all her money out and fumed as they left the resturant. "JELLY-FISH-FOR-BRAINS!" Lina screeched as she grabbed one of the swordmans ears. Gourry winced. "What?!" Lina let go and faced him. "I know you had money with you! Ur a horrible lier!" She held out a hand. "Pay up jellyfish-for-brains!" Gourry sighed. "I don't have any." He said bluntly and frankley. Lina fell over. "How are we suppose to survive?!" Lina twitched as Gourry cowered at the corner. "GROW UP GOURRY!" Lina sighed, her stressmark throbbed back to normal. "Ah, who cares, we can find a job." Gourry scratched his head. "How?" Lina stood up proudly, thrusting oout her chest. "Well of course anyone would hire me! I get the job worked well and done!"
Gourry groaned, even if he was stupid, he could still tell things were'nt going out right. "Lina..." He whined. Lina snapped back at him. "Patience Gourry!" Gourry sighed. "But you said we were going to find a job hours ago--." "FIREBALL!" Gourry was in a heap of smoldering flames. Lina sighed, ehr eyes closed she massaged her head. "Alright, we can't find a job. How much better can this get?" "Miss Inverse?" A voice behind her inquired. Lina whirled around. "WHAT?!" She snapped angrily. The man jerked back a bit, trembling while cluthing a parchment. "You are Lina Inverse I presume?" Lina groaned in impatience. "YES!" The man flinched. "Two letters for you." With that he handed her the two scrolls and clicked his heels together and left. Gourry peered around Linas shoulders curiously. "What is it?" Lina examined one of the parchements. "I bet this one if from Ameila... it has a royal seal of the lion." The next one she critized with hard red ruby eyes, and let out a strangled cry, her face blanching. Gourry jumped in alarm. "What the matter Lina?!" Lina bit her bottom lip. "A letter......from my.....sister....." Lina said faintly. Gourry smiled like an idiot. "Ah, thats good right?" Lina slowly shook her head. "No..." She fairly whispered, her hands shaking. "We should.....open the royal parchment first.......its inquired to both of us.." Gourry was puzzled at Linas reaction to the letter, but held in his question. The parchment unfurled as Lina snapped open the wax seal.
Dear Lina and Gourry,
Gomen this arrived a bit late..... But I wanted to ask how you are doing? I send some money your way, from how you two eat its hard to save up money.... ('How very true' Lina thought with embarassment) I wanted to invite you to my palace, if you have no place better to go just come and show this letter to the palace gaurd and he'll let you in, this goes for Gourry too. I wanted to tell you how much I've missed you two, Zel finally got his cure, and we are to be married soon. I would like it very much if you two would come. Its the 3rd Saturday of next week, please make it.
Love,
Amelia
I hereby give permisson for Lina Inverse and Gourry Gabriev to enter the palace gate.

Lina smiled. "Thee goes our money problem." She said outloud as she folded the parchment and put it in her furs as she turned and walked away. Gourry followed her doggedly. "The other parchment Lina--" Lina interuppted him with a gloved finger to his lip. "Gourry, its a personal letter." With that Lina left to cash in her money from the princesses bank account.
Gourrys mind was swirling with questiond. Personal letter? What was it about? About her family? About her maybe....lover? Gourry shook his head and let it float through one ear. He watched as Lina cashed in the check she got from Ameila. (It was attached to the mail) He smiled gently, a sudden cloud seemed to rise away from Gourry as he tenderley watched Lina slip the gold coins into her pouch. But as quickly as that soft smile came, it dissappeared into a dumb idiotic smile as soon as Lina looked up.
Lina felt his eyes on her, her face flushed a light shade of pink. What was happening to her? Lina shoook her head and looked up and met Gourrys eyes, and saw that he was staring at her with the most idiotic grin on his face, the special "I am a baka" one. Lina sighed. 'He's such a simpleton......' She mused as she headed toward him. 'If he had a bit of intellengence in him....' Gourry smiled and held out a gloved hand. "Come on, we should get to a INN before it gets dark."
Lina sat down on her bed, she could only afford one room. That is, if she wanted to eat a good meal the next day. She trembled slightly as she veiwed the dreaded parchment. Why was her sister mailing her now? Lina gingerly touched it and sighed. "Its now or never...." She mumbled as she opened the parchement. As she read, a slow gasp escaped her mouth, her eyes became dull and the letter dropped to the ground with a thud. It was time. A trickle of a tear ran down her face, escaping her tightly closed eyes and landed on the cotton, dampining the small spot. It was time.......
Gourry watched Lina turn off the lights and get into bed in her night shirt which was too big for her. She seemed unusually depressed. He wondered why. But as usual, the thought floated through hi head and he didn't remeber what he asked himself before. All he could do was eye the parchment on the table. What did it say? Lina was praticually upset after the letter. He wanted to know. He streched out his legs and sighed. Sometimes, Lina Inverse was a total mystery to him. Or maybe it was just his lack of brain?
(Next morning)
Lina and Gourry left the crying resturant owner. Lina seemed a bit disturbed. "Gourry I have to talk to you." Lina clenched her fist tightly. Gourry turned to her and smiled. "Yes Lina?" Lina had to breathe two shuddering breathes before she could let out another word. "Lets go somewhere else?" Gourry nodded. "Sure." They arrived at a pretty sakura garden. Lina seemed a bit distant, as she gently and sadly told him the following words. "Gourry? Do you remeber...... the promise you made to me?" Gourry shook his head slowly. Lina made no attempt to pummel him, which suprised him greatly. "Lina?" he asked, unsure. Lina smiled a faltering smile. "Of coourse Jellyfish-for-brains can't remeber." She said sadly. "You told me you would protect me and follow me forever, remeber?" Gourrys face lit up. "Of course!" Gourry nodded. Lina sighed. "I-i-i...." This was hard. Gourrys face suddenly seemed to recognize the situation, and his idiodic grin fell. "Lina, its something about that promise isn't it?" Lina nodded, swalloing her sobs. "Gou-gourry...." Lina said brokenly. "The promise can't be kept." Gourry looked at her, his eyes wide. "Whta do you mean? I can follow you and--" Lina shook her head. "Gourry...." To his suprise she held his hands. "I have to leave, my family needs me and......and...you would'nt want to protect a little girl like me forever." Gourrys eyebrows furrowed. "Who said I didn't?" Lina ignored the comment. "Gourry... I must leave you, or more like you must. I must...go home..." Lina could'nt catch the tear that left her eyes a bit too fast. Gourry watched the sparkrly wet teardrop slide downher face and onto the fabric of her shirt. "You are lying..." He whispered. Lina shook her head. Gourry closed his eyes and swallowed. He knew this day would come..... His eyes opened slowly and he looked at Lina in the eye. "I knew.... this may happen...." Lina nodded, her tears coursing down ehr face faster now. Gourry smiled a weak smile. "But promise you won't forget me?" Lina nodded. "Promise, I swear I won't! Just...you remeber me too ok?" Lina her golden earring off her ear. "Here...." Gourry stared at the golden earring with a blank face. "Keep it." Lina insisted. "You can keep it to remeber me by, or sell it, or watever... Just..." Gourry nodded, his throat too tight for words. He had to let her go. Who was he to hold her back? "I-i Lina..." He would never sell the earring, even if he were to die. Lina smiled. "Its not forever....... or anything its just that we're seperating." Lina said, wiping her tears. "You can come visit me, later.... I'll send you a parchement by bird.... keep this address? Don't follow me and come with me or arrive when I don't call." Lina said slowly. "There are.... family troubles." Lina looked away from Gourrys questioning glance. "Trouble?" Lina got up. "When you see a crimson bird in the sky with golden eyes, thats my message... from Lilac City." Gourry got up. "Lina I...I....I'll miss you." He confessed. Lina smiled. "I'll miss you too." And suddenly, as if it was too much for her, she turned and fled. Leaving Gourry behind, staring at the golden loop in his hands. He looked up at the horizion, watching Lina run and turned the opposite direction, his sword sheath clanking by his side.
