Chapter 1: Xellos why you…
Back group Info:
It's been 3 years since the battle with Dark Star. Amelia and Zelgadis are married, and so are Gourry and Selphial. Fillia is raising Val with the help of Mylgasia and has her own pottery shop. Xellos is continuously bugging Lina, but Lina doesn't mind. Lina is still good friends with everyone and visits each couple at least once a year.
Onward-
Lina Inverse the infamous bandit killer was doing her favorite pass time, beating up bandits, and taking their loot. She had just finished collecting all ofthe stolen treasure when Xellos appeared behind her.
"Hello Lina-chan!"
"Xellos, how many times do I have to tell you not to sneak up on me?"
"But, Lina-chan it's so fun."
"So, what brings you here Xellos?"
"Oh, I just heard about a well that can grant any wish. It's a magical well, and it's not to fare from here."
"Where is it?"
"Now that is a secret," he said holding up one finger.
Lina grabbed by Xellos by the collar and said, "XELLOS you better tell me or else."
"Fine, fine, I'll tell you if you really want to know. Do you Lina?"
"Of course I do." This might be my only chance toget a bigger chest, she thought.
"Okay, its two days away from Sanbowa in a small village name Trenton," said Xellos.
"Hum... where only one day from Sanbowa so it'll only take a day and a half," replied a cheerful Lina.
"Correct as usual Lina-chan."
"Hey Xellos are there any traps that I should know about?"
"Now that is a secret."
"Why do I even ask?"
Xellos and Lina had arrived at Sanbowa in the evening. The two had checked into an inn. They reached the inn and Lina was the first to speak.
"Finally, I am so hungry."
"Lina I think we should get a room before you stuff your face."
"Are you calling me fat?"
Xellos only smiled.
"Xellos if I wasn't so tired from flying I would be beat the shit out of you."
"I know. Such a shame I don't get the pleasure of being burnt by your fireballs today. Anyways, let's go check in."
"You go get the room, and I'll get us a table at the restaurant next door," said Lina.
"Okay," replied Xellos with a devilish grin.
Lina exited the inn and Xellos was left to get the "rooms". Xellos walked to the front desk where the inn keeper was. The inn keeper was an elderly man with a mustache, and had white hair in a similar style to Zels.
"Hello. One room?" asked the inn keeper.
"Yes, but can I have two keys," replied Xellos.
"Of course sir, so, you and your wife exploring the country?" asked the inn keeper.
"Something like." that replied Xellos.
"Well that's good. Glad to see youngens are still roaming the country side. What should I put the name under?"
"Mr. and Mrs.Metallium." said Xellos smiling.
I can't wait to see Lina's reaction, thought Xellos
With that task accomplished he went over to see what "Mrs.Metallium" was up to.
Xellos walked in to the restaurant and spotted Lina quick enough. She wasn't hard to miss with, over 20 plates stacked up on top of each other, and still eating.
"Hi Lina-chan are you enjoying your dinner?"
Lina had just merely nodded and continued eating.
The waitress came by and Xellos ordered a water.
When Lina was finished eating she eased back in her chair and patted her tummy.
"Aw, now that's what I call good eating. So, did you have any problems with getting the rooms?"
Xellos' smile only widened, "No problem at all."
"Good to hear it. Well, I am kinda tired so I am going to go to bed," said Lina as she finished paying the bill, and walked back to the inn with Xellos not to far behind.
As Lina and Xellos were walked in the inn Lina said, "Where's our rooms Xellos?"
He handed her a key and told her it was on the second floor. He kindly opened the door for her, and the two proceeded in.
"Enjoy your stay Mr. and Mrs.Metallium," said the inn keeper.
Lina gave the inn keeper a confused look and continued to walk up stairs.
"Okay, I am going to my room. Good night," said Lina and she walked into the room.
Lina entered the room and examined it. The room had a large king size bed and a small dresser. It also had a bathroom and a bathtub.
"Xellos didn't do to bad of job in selecting the rooms. I've got to give him credit he's not so useless after all."
Shortly after Lina went in Xellos came in 5 minutes later.
Lina was just checking out the room when Xellos came in.
"How'd you get into my room Xellos?"
"You mean how did I get into our room," asked Xellos.
"What do you mean OUR room?"
"I know how you hate to use up all your money on hotel rooms so, I only got one room," replied Xellos.
"YOU WHAT?"
Xellos just said, "he he."
Lina composed herself and said, "That's fine I'll just go down stairs and get another room. This can be your room", and that's just what she did.
"Hello can I have another room please," asked Lina.
"Well, hello Mrs.Metallium, Mr.Metallium giving you trouble?"
"You could say that," said Lina.
The inn keeper looked through his book and said "I am terribly sorry Mrs.Metallium, but all the rooms are occupied."
"Seriously," asked Lina.
"Very. Sorry I guess you'll just have to work out your issues with your husband," said the inn keeper.
I am so going to kill him. I can't very well tell the inn keeper that I am not married to Xellos if that got around people would start calling Lina Inverse the whore. Well, for once better keep my mouth shut, thought Lina.
"Hello Xellos," Lina said emotionlessly.
"So, I guess you came here to tell me that you got another room," he said lying down on the bed in his PJS reading a book.
"No, funny thing is all the rooms are occupied," said Lina.
Xellos looked up from his book and said, "Really? Looks like we'll have a sleep over after all."
Lina ran over to Xellos and started to beat the shit out of him, while saying, "You only had one simple job and that was to get two rooms. And you even told the inn keeper I am your wife, Mrs.Metallium. Your a good for nothing muzuko."
Well I wanted a reaction and I sure as hell got one. I am glad I didn't say she said room not two rooms, I mean room means sharing, BUT I am glad I didn't say anything thought Xellos.
After relieving "some" of her frustration Lina went in the bath room to change to her PJS. When Lina walked out she didn't say anything she simply went to the side opposite of Xellos, and snuggled underneath the covers.
"Xellos."
"Yes Lina-chan?"
"If you come over to my side or try anything I will kill you, and I am not joking."
"Lina-chan that sounds like a threat."
"It's not a threat. It's a promise."
"Good night Lina-chan."
"Good night."
The next morning Lina and Xellos left the inn bright an early. Xellos had been a good boy and he hadn't tried anything. By noon they had made it to Trenton, and had found the well.
"So, Xellos what do I have to do?"
Xellos pulled out a book and said, "It says here that you must first jump into the well, and then make your wish."
She gave him a skeptical look, "Jump in you say. That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Let me see that."
Lina snatched the book away from Xellos, and yup that's what it said.
"I can't believe it says that. Oh well, guess I'll try it," said Lina.
Lina jumped in the well and a blue light emitted from the well.
"LINA YOU OKAY DOWN THERE?" shouted Xellos.
"…………"
There was no response.
"That's odd," thought Xellos.
"What the hell? You mean it really was a magic well. Hum what do you know I was just leading her on, I didn't really know that it was magical. I was simply leading her on to get a good laugh. I would have loved to see Lina when she came back up wet," said Xellos out loud.
Then his master summoned him, and he had to go see what she needed.
8888 NEW SCENE in Inyuasha's time888
To say Lina was pissed would be an understatement. She flew out of the well and nothing looked remotely like the town of Trenton.
"I AM SO GOING TO KILL THAT SON OF A …" she trailed off.
So, what did Lina do you ask. Did she simply stay there? Of course not, she went to see if she could find a villager or someone who knew what the hell was going on. As Lina walked she came upon a village. The sun was beginning to set, and Lina knew she needed to get an inn so, she walked through the village.
All the villagers were staring at her. Okay she had to admit they were all in traditional clothing, but they acted like they had never seen a sorceress.
Maybe that well teleported me to the out world, she thought.
Kyaida (sorry if I butchered it) was the first person to greet Lina.
"Hello ye, don't look from around here," said the old woman.
"No I am not," said Lina.
"Why don't ye come in side its getting dark," said Kyaida.
"Thank you," said Lina as she stepped into the hut.
"My name is Kyaida, and I am the head priestess of this village."
"I'm Lina Inverse sorcery genius."
"Ah, so ye be a sorceress," said Kyaida.
"Judging from your reaction that confirms I am not in my world," said Lina.
"I think ye right. How did ye get here?
"Funny thing priestess, I was traveling around with a demon, and we were looking for a well that could grant any wish. When we got to the well the demon said all you have to do is just in the water, and make your wish. Of course I was skeptical, but I did it anyway," said Lina.
"So ye saying a demon trick ye?"
"Kinda, I guess," was her reply.
"Well, Lina I don't think your in ye world anymore ye best bet would be to find de Shikon shards, and try to go through the well again."
"Thank you priestess Kyaida," said Lina as she got up to leave.
"Where are ye going Miss Lina?"
"To check in at an inn."
"Dear, ye can stay here for the night. Here have some soup it be really good."
"Thank you."
Lina stayed the night and in the morning she said good bye to Kyaida and left to find the Shikon shards.
End of Chapter one.
