Chapter 37
-----
"WILL YOU HURRY UP!!!!" Lina screamed out of boredom. "We have been on the road for a day already and we still are near Atlas City! We should be at least haft way to Sylphiel's village!"
"DO YOU WANT TO DRIVE!?!?!" Naga screamed back, she is so tire of all of Lina's screaming.
"Yes!" Lina Replied.
"HECK NO!!!!" Naga and Amelia replied back.
"But honestly Gracia, you really pick up a very slow bus!" Amelia said.
"Hey, I hade to chose the first bus I could get my hands on, besides it is all her fault!!!" Naga replied pointing at Lina.
"ME!?!?! Why is it my fault?"
"Because you're you!"
"HEY, just because I blow up that bus station doesn't mean that it is my fault!"
"Oh yeah, and what about that shopping mall back home? You broke all the windows there!"
"Those guys call me flat chest!"
"And what about the theatre? You burn the entire place up."
"Hey, don't put the blames on me on that, it was you who did it! You used a fire ball because you were drunk!"
"Will you two please stop arguing?" Amelia begged. "if you keep this up we'll end up having an accident!"
"It's her fault!" Lina and Naga screamed at the same time, pointing at each other.
"Alright, alright!" Amelia pushes Lina away from her sister, it is best to put the two rivals aside or else they'll be in a car accident. "Go see what Gourry is doing Lina and stop arguing with Gracia, I want a safe trip."
"SHE STARTED IT!!!" Lina growled as she walks to the back of the bus. "I don't believe this; the stupid car is running slow because Naga is a lousy driver! They could at least let me take the wheal" she then looks at Gourry sited in one of the seats. "I'm a good driver, right Gourry?"
But Gourry ignored her because he's speaking on his cellular phone.
"Hey Gourry, I ask you if I am a good driver?" Lina asked again.
Gourry continues to ignore her. "Alright then, I'm glad that you girls are alright. I'll call you some other time." he turns off the phone and finaly notices Lina. "Oh, hi Lina."
"Oh hi Lina?" Lina repeated in a dangerous tone the grabs Gourry's neck. "WHAT'S the big idea ignoring me? And to whom were you speaking?"
"To Nehsziriah!" he responded immediately with fear of Lina's anger.
Lina didn't know why but she felt a bit of jealousy. "TO NEHSZIRIAH!?!?!?! WHY WERE YOU TALKING TO HER!?!?!?" she asked, strangulating Gourry's neck.
"I just wanted to know how my sister is doing!" Gourry responded immediately again.
Lina blinked dumbly "Oh…." And let's go of Gourry. "Ok then…."
"Lina what is the matter with you? You are all grumpy in the morning!" Gourry said, rubbing his neck.
"What do you expect? We slept in a stupid cold bus, we are not even haft way near Sinta, I haven't taken a bath, I'm dirty AND I'M HUNGRY!!!!"
"Lina please, take it easy!" Gourry pleaded. "We'll try to find a motel for the night. I also want to go to Sinta as quick as possible."
Lina noticed a worry tone in Gourry's voice. "you seem worry, what is it?"
"Nehsziriah said that they have found a wounded man on the road, he was wounded badly and hasn't awake yet. She said that she has a bad feeling about this guy, and now I'm starting to worry……"
"Oh come on Gourry, its possible a drunken guy that got beat by some guys, it is not like it is Valgarv who they have rescued. So relax!" Lina said slapping Gourry on the back.
"OUCH!!! THAT HURTS!" Gourry cried.
------
After speaking with Gourry, Nehsziriah turn off her cellular phone and lets out a worry sigh, she really has a bed feeling about the guy they saved last night but Sylphiel insisted on bringing the guy, lucky she managed to convince Sylphiel not to use her healing powers on the guy that way it will take him days to recover from his wounds, by then other others will be in Sinta for sure.
"Hey Mrs. Nehsziriah!" Amy called.
Nehsziriah turns to Gourry's little sister. "Hey girl what's up?"
"Will you help me clean the house? We have a lot of work to do." She responded, passing a brush to Nehsziriah.
Nehsziriah looks back to the house, it is all dirty because of the fact that Sylphiel and her family hasn't come here in years. It definitely needs cleaning now that she and the others will be around for a while. "Go to school; do homework; write sport novels; be the voice of reason; clean a house. My entire life is work, work, and more work!"
"Stop complaining!" Amy said as she pushed Nehsziriah from behind.
------
In her room Sylphiel cleaned some of the wounds on Valgarv who is still unconscious from his terrible fight against The Master. Sylphiel just wonders who could this character be, who ever he is he sure has been on a terrible fight, with the wounds he has he would be dead in an instance if Sylphiel didn't show up to save him. Sylphiel wished that she could use her healing powers to cure this unknown character but she already promised to Nehsziriah not to use it, for Amy's sake.
Sylphiel pushes away some of the hair that it is covering Valgarv's face. "Such sadness in him…… his face shows so much wretchedness. I wonder what happen to this man for him to have such a sorrow face."
In Valgarv's mind he is having a terrible nightmare, he is dreaming of his lost against The Master.
-------
Valgarv is in a cold dark void and he sees The Master walking closely to him. Valgarv wanted to run away but his legs are frozen to the ground, making it impossible for him to leave. "No! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"
"Are you afraid of me, Valgarv? How disgraceful and pitiable. You are no improved than Garv. You are such a miserable fighter Valgarv, that is why you will never overwhelm me and you will never overwhelm Lina Inverse. Fragile fighters like your self have no meaning in this world where only the strongest endure. So to you I say Goodbye!" The Master points his finger at Valgarv with some sparkles coming out of it.
"No….NO!!!!" Valgarv pleaded with the darkness consuming him. "NO!!!!"
------
Valgarv opens his eyes suddenly which made Sylphiel jump from her seat, this caught Valgarvs attention and he grabs Sylphiel by the neck.
"AAH!!!" Sylphiel gasped when Valgarv grabbed her by the neck.
"Who are you? Where am I?" Valgarv demanded.
"I…..I….." Sylphiel tried to respond with a tear running down her cheek but Valgarv is holding her too strongly for her to be able to speak.
"Tell me!!! Tell me or I will……" Valgarv never finished his sentence because the pain in his body finally assaulted him, making him release Sylphiel.
Sylphiel gasped for air when Valgarv released him and landed on her knees. she felt fear, a terrible breath taking fear when Valgarv grabbed her so violently, she wanted to run away and call the police but then she looked back at Valgarv who is laying on the pain grunting in pain, in that moment Sylphiel's fear was removed and was replaced with sympathy. The guy tried to kill her but he is in such pain that it is impossible not to help him. "I'll help you sir."
"Leave me alone!" Snapped Valgarv when Sylphiel wanted to help him but his entire body refuses to obey him because of the pain.
"Please sir, let me help you, you are terrible wounded." Sylpheil gently rests Valgarv back to his bed and restarted her treatment to his arm.
Valgarv on the other hand felt so humiliated, here he is in an unknown location being treated by some one he calls a weakling, in the other hand he considers everyone a weakling. His mind is engaged with one thought only, vengeance; he wants to seek his revenge on Lina Inverse and The Master for his reprehensible defeat. But as much as he hates to admit it in the condition his body is in he needs treatment, so he has no choice but to be treated by this girl.
"This might hurt a little!" Sylphiel warned as she pick up an cotton wetted with alcohol and starts to gently pass it over Valgarv's wounds.
Valgarv remained in silence but his eyes twitched when he felt the burn of the alcohol.
Sylphiel then grabbed a wet towel and puts it over the place where she passed with the alcohol.
"Who are you? Why are you helping me?" Valgarv finally asks
"I found you on the road all wounded." She responded with a soft smile. "I just could not leave you there to death even considering that you were rude to me when we meet back in Atlas city."
Valgarv wondered if he had meet this girl when he was in Atlas city, he honestly doesn't remember, his only concern back then was the destruction of Lina. "You want to watch out for me? You are not concern that I might try to kill you?"
"Yes……" Sylphiel responded honestly.
"Then why are you taking care of me?"
"I found you on the road, battered and damaged; I didn't have the heart to leave you there alone. I wanted to help you!" she responded with the same soft smile again.
"Didn't have the heart?" he repeated. Valgarv was not use to kindness, kindness is something that he doesn't know the meaning of the word; his entire life is based on hate, fight and destruction. He would probably consider kindness a weakness, something that he hates. "So what is your name, anyway?"
"My name is Sylphiel."
"Sylphiel?" Valgarv thought. She is the same girl that The Master and her Minions are after. "This can be good to me. If the Ognimirbahs ever finds out where Sylphiel is I'll be sure to face The Master again, and this time I'll be ready for him!"
"And what is your name?" Sylphiel asked, interrupting Valgarv's thoughts.
"Valgarv!" He responded.
"Valgarv….."Sylphiel repeated. "May I just call you Val?"
"No you may not!" Valgarv responded grimly.
Sylphiel remained in silence for a moment, Valgarv seems to be the rude type of person but he seems to have a little of good side in him which it is having a hard time on coming out.
She then puts her hand on Valgarv's forehead, he didn't know why but he felt a blush on his face when Sylphiel did that.
"You seem to have some fever. You better rest; I shall bring the food for you." Sylphiel said then she got up to leave the room to prepare dinner for everyone, leaving Valgarv alone with his thoughts.
"What a strange woman….." he said, this is the first time that anyone ever offers to assist him, Valgarv considers this to be quite an humiliation but deep inside he enjoyed to be treated by Sylphiel.
------
It is night time and Lina, Gourry, Amelia and Naga are still on the road with Gourry driving the bus this time.
"There is an exit on the right Gourry, follow that way!" Lina said, reading the map.
"Ok." Gourry said as he turns the bus to the next exit.
Amelia looks out the window to see that the entire sky is all cloudy. "Looks like there's a storm coming. I hope we find a place to eat and sleep for the night."
Naga agreed. "Me too, I don't want to sleep on the bus again."
In that moment thunder and lighting started to emerge from the sky and rain started to fall.
Gourry turn on the wipers and started to see the rain falling down the ground very heavily. "Man, it is going to be a long night!"
"Keep your eyes on the road Gourry, we don't want to get in accident." Naga said.
"Yeah sure!" Gourry said.
"Hey guys look!" Amelia called pointing to what's in front of them. "It seems like a small road village."
"Alright! Now we can find a place to eat and sleep. Park the bus somewhere Gourry!" Lina ordered.
As soon as Gourry parked the bus, every one pick up their umbrellas and when to the small village. Unknown to them that a ninja emerged from behind a tree and follow them.
"Man, this place sure is creepy." Gourry said, looking around.
Naga agreed. "Yeah, the entire city seems deserted. There isn't any light on the buildings or the stores. And you don't see anyone around."
"I wonder is this is a ghost town." Lina wondered.
Don't say that, you're scaring me!" Amelia said with a shaky voice.
"Staying here in the rain won't help us one bit. Let's go inside that restaurant!"
The Slayers enter a one of the restaurant, once they got inside they saw no one in sight, it seems like the place was abandoned for quite some time.
"What happen to all the people here?" Gourry asked.
"I'll say, this place would be perfect to received tire tourists that are travelling by bus but there is no one to receive us. What is with this place?" Lina asked, a little infuriated.
Naga passed a finger in one of the tables "for the looks of things this place hasn't been abandoned for that long, the tables aren't that dusty."
"Yeah, and buildings aren't that rusty either!" Amelia pointed out. "I do not like this guys, I have a bad feeling about this."
"Take it easy Amelia, you are exaggerating!" Lina said trying to calm Amelia.
"Still what happen to the people of this village?" Gourry asked again.
"I kill them myself!" responded a voice from behind them, every one turn around to see a man dress up like a ninja coming out from the door walking directly at them. "I kill every last one of them and bury their bodies."
The Slayers glared at the cold Ninja, saying that he killed a lot a people with no remorse.
"Who are you?" Lina asked.
"My codename is simply Ninja. I am a servant of my master Rezo, you people are very troublesome to find, even now that you are on the road. Rezo have sent many people to find you but I had a feeling that you might pass here, so I killed every one in this village to get you all and bring you to my master."
"You evil cruel monster!" Amelia cried. "This is completely unforgivable!"
"Spare me of your lecture, young one!" Ninja ordered. "Now I give you two choices, or you fools simply surrender and come with me quietly, or face me and die."
Lina grinned. "I prefer the third option, we fight and beat you!"
"OHOHOHOHOH! In case you haven't noticed, Ninja, you are out numbered four to one!" Naga said, sounding more like a challenge.
"Do not underestimate me! Lord Rezo has four loyal and mighty fighters and I am one of them, we are powerful because we posses a unique ability, one that can not be matched." Ninja warned, but none of the slayers seemed intimidated by his words. "But by the looks of things you are whiling to risk your lucks, so go on, fight me if you must, but I warn you that it will be a inane mistake!"
"Let see what you can do then." Lina challenged, getting into a fighting position, but Amelia stand in front of her. "Amelia?"
"Let me fight him Lina! You are still very tire from your fight with Valgarv." Amelia said, very determinate.
"What are you talking about Amelia? I am recovered the enough to teach this guy a lesson!"
"Please Lina!"
Lina did not say a word, she just nodded her head telling Amelia to go on, Amelia seems very determinate to fight Ninja, she just wonders why Amelia is so willing to fight this guy.
"Young fool!" Ninja insulted. "Fight me in your own risk, but I assure you that you shall die!"
"I am going to show you the real power of Justice!" Amelia said, standing in a fighting position.
To be continued……...
Sunny: Amelia is on fire here!
