"I'm alright Lina." Gourry said standing up.
"No your not you have to go!" I said.
"Lina listen to me, I am not leaving you. Come hell or high water I'm not leaving you." Gourry said.
"LINA WATCH OUT!" Auburn said pushing me out of the way.
"I don't have time for your gushy love scenes! Get up and fight." Yami yelled.
"Put Amelia and Zelgadis down and then I'll fight." I said standing up.
"Now see I can't do that because what if you just try to take them and leave and succeed?" Yami said.
"Believe me I won't leave. I wanna kick your ass pretty badly right now." I said clenching my fist.
"Hmm, fine. I'll let them go. But if I win Lina you will work for me." Yami said with her eyes glowing green.
"Over my dead body." I said.
I watched Yami closely. She seemed to be thinking, about what I couldn't tell. I looked up at Amelia and Zelgadis; there bodies were just hanging there. The only sign of life you could see from them were their chest moving up and down.
"If you let them go and fight I won't try to take them. I'll fight; you're not that scary you know. Your something most people squash with their shoe, you just happen to have some powers and be oversized." I said trying to show I was confident
"Don't forget that thing on the top of your head you call hair. I actually don't thin you could call it that but that's just me of course." Reiya said.
"Well you think my hair is bad now? You just wait. I'll let them go Lina, but you will fight! If I win you stay and if I lose, well that won't happen." Yami said.
"If you lose we get Amelia and Zelgadis back and well you'll be dead by then so I guess it doesn't matter if I include you." I said.
"Well I believe we have a deal." Yami said releasing Amelia and Zelgadis onto the floor.
"Reiya and Auburn go check on them." I said.
"Let's do this." Gourry said standing up.
"Gourry," I started.
"Don't try to stop me Lina. I'm not gonna die and if I do I'll die happy cause I was protecting you." Gourry said.
I smiled and looked over at Amelia and Zelgadis they still weren't awake. I saw Auburn try to start some healing spells on their scratches and bruised bones. I took a deep breath and started to cast a fire ball.
"Take this!" I said throwing it at her.
It hit her hair, and after a few seconds her hair fell down to her feet and started to throw little attacks.
"I guess its time for me to show off my hair cutting skills." Gourry said as he charged at her.
Yami grabbed Gourry by the waist and kissed him on the lips and then threw him on the ground. Gourry screamed in pain and started holding his stomach. I was now officially ready to kick her ass. Not only did she kiss him she kissed him and put poison in him! I ran over to Gourry and lifted his head.
"I didn't wanna kiss her Lina I swear!" Gourry said trying to hide pain.
"I know Gourry get out of here. I can handle this." I said.
Before I could take another breath Gourry pushed me out of the way and got hit by a fire ball.
"I told you I don't have time for love scenes." Yami said coldly.
"Goodness. We leave for only a short while and they manage to get them selves into this!" Zelgadis said coming over to my left side.
"I told you they were hopeless without us." Amelia said coming to my right side.
"You two shouldn't be awake!" Yami said in frustration.
"Well I do my work fast and I do it well." Auburn said.
"Where is Reiya?" I asked Auburn.
"She's keeping an eye on Gourry till I get over there." Auburn explained.
"Now that we're almost all here I say we use the hammer of justice!" Amelia said.
"Let's squash her." I said smiling.
We threw different attacks at her with all we had for what seemed like forever, at some point Auburn and Reiya had switched places. Auburn was still trying to get the poison out of Gourry and get him to wake up.
Everyone was getting tired but Yami was still at the top of her game. Things were looking more and more like my dreams. People were hurt and tired.
I looked over at Gourry who was struggling to get on his feet. I decided right there and then I was doing this alone.
"Guys, get out of here quick!" I yelled.
"No Lina...I, I wont leave you! Zelgadis take the girls and get out of here. Lina and I can handle this." Gourry said as he tried to keep himself stabilized and holding his shoulder that had blood seeping through his sleeve as he started towards me.
"Gourry get out of here now! You're already hurt I'll be fine just go!" I pleaded.
"Lina I'm your protector member? And that means I have to protect you no matter what! Besides I've been hurt worst before...someone has to protect you and that's me!" Said Gourry.
He was being such an idiot! They all were! They had to get out of here. If something happened to me they could at least stop this thing!
"Gourry I can protect myself! Don't be stupid! Now go!" I said.
"Lina your scared admit it your scared! You don't like the feeling do you? Lina stop trying to pull off the "I'm Lina Inverse and nothing scares me" thing. Because its not gonna work. Auburn, Reiya, Amelia, and Zel and I can all see past it. You think we can't but we can." Gourry said.
"Despite what you think Gourry I am not scared!" I said casting another fireball.
"Oh very good little girl but that wont work on me." Yami said interrupting the conversation.
"Well then I'll just have to try harder won't I?" I asked in a low voice.
"Ms. Inverse I highly suggest you come up with a better spell then that." Yami spat out rather conceitedly.
"Oh that won't be hard at all." I said smirking "DARK CLAW!" I screamed taking out one of Yami's legs but yet, surprisingly enough it grew back how ironic.
'DANM WHY DIDN'T IT KILL HER!' I thought to myself.
"Alright Yami tell me exactly what it is you want!" I yelled.
"You're an extremely powerful sorceress. With you helping me I can defeat anyone who stands in my way and rule!" Yami explained.
"Hey crazy lady get away from my best friend!" Reiya yelled.
"Yeah get away from her creep!" yelled Auburn.
"I swear if you touch her I'll slice you in half!" Gourry said standing in front of me.
"POISON FANG!" Hissed Yami sending a poison into Gourrys already infected wound.
"Gourry are you alright?" I asked.
"Lina I'm fine. I promise...just do me a favor ok?" Gourry said
"Sure what is it?" I asked.
"Take her out." Gourry said trying to get up.
I nodded and turned to face the others.
"You got it. Zelgadis and Amelia get Gourry up and go heal him somewhere, Auburn and Reiya if you guys are gonna stay I'll need your help." I said feeling a little more confident.
"What do you need us to do?" Auburn asked.
"I need you and Reiya to cast a Dragon slave with me, I think it might beat her." I said watching Yami move across the room making sure she wasn't near them.
"But what if it doesn't?" Reiya asked.
"Then we'll cast something else but this is worth a shot." I said.
"Do you really think that pathetic plan will work on me?" Yami asked.
"How does she know?" I asked.
"I have no clue…" Auburn said.
"Alright girls, remember when we fought that big scary dude with the awful red hair?" Reiya asked.
"Yeah." Auburn said.
"Remember how we beat him?" She asked.
"Reiya this is no time to be quizzing us!" I said keeping my eye on Yami.
"Do you remember or not?" Reiya asked.
"Yes!" Auburn and I both said.
"Then let's do what we did there." Reiya said.
"One slight problem we're lacking Gourry." I said.
"Not anymore." Gourry said coming next to me.
"You're healed already?" I asked.
"Yeah, still kind of weak though." Gourry whispered.
Auburn and I Zelgadis fought off Yami while Reiya and I filled Amelia and Gourry in on the plan. Then we all took our positions and I looked over at everyone and smiled.
"TAKE THIS SLIMEBALL!" Reiya screamed.
