Chapter 1

Zelgadis walked into the school doors flanked by Lina, Gourry, and Amelia. Lina looked at the letter they had all received in the mail the day before which told them, which was their homeroom. The sorceress looked down at the paper that was addressed to her. She was going to be in the biology room at 106.

The chimera had his hood up around his face and reached into his pockets, to get his paper out. He was going to the third floor of the school and into the chemistry room. Go figure. He made a face, cursing chemistry underneath his breath and he out the letter back in his pocket. Room 207.

Gourry yawned and rubbed at his eyes, looking at his paper. Lina glanced over and sighed, grabbing the paper then turning it right side up. The blond-haired man blinked, giving a long 'oh' before grinning at Lina.

"Jellyfish brains." Lina muttered, rubbing her temples. "I still don't know how you went on to the next grade from last year."

"The teachers were sick of him and pity for him was the only thing on their minds." Zelgadis replied in a simple tone. "Besides, how would you like to have Gourry in your same classroom year after year?"

The sorceress sighed, brushing her hair out of her eyes and beginning to walk down toward where their lockers would be this year around. Row upon row of blue-tinted lockers lined the hallway in the junior section. Amelia was heading down toward the sophomore section, humming a tune and murmuring about who she would spread Justice to this year.

Lina came to her locker; glancing at the combination she was given and began to twirl the lock around to the combination. She felt someone come up behind her. The sorceress turned around to see who it was.

"Ohhhooohoohooo! Hello Lina!" Naga howled in Lina's face with laughter.

"No! NO! NO! NOT YOU! NOOOOOOOOOO!" Lina screeched and slammed herself practically into her locker, trying to get away from Naga whose continual laughter rang through the hallway driving everyone away or insane. "STOP LAUGHING!!"

"Oooohoooo…Lina-san….can't forget me, can you?" Naga poked her face into the locker, grinning widely at Lina who cowered from the cannon ball-chested sorceress.

"Go away!"

"Why?! Don't you miss me Lina?" Naga pleaded.

"NO!" Lina roared, getting ready to fireball Naga.

"Tch! Don't be so touchy! I'm just saying hello!"

"And now you can say goodbye!" Lina sputtered furiously, pushing her away as she clambered back out of her locker. Naga gave her a hurt expression and whined.

"But Lina-san…I have my first class with you and I wanted you to walk with me there…"

"You are NOT in my English class!" Lina stammered in disbelief now. Or rather in complete horror of the mere thought of having Naga in the same class as her.

"Ohoho! Yes I am!" Naga revealed a sheet of paper, listing all her classes. An even larger grin spread her features and she grabbed Lina's hand. "Let's go!"

"Did you DRINK anything this morning!?"

"Just some watered down Vodka!"

"Where the hell did you get the Vodka?" Lina demanded, glowering and slapping her hand away as she tried to yank her down the hallway.

"Oh…places!" Naga grinned even more. The red haired sorceress screamed as she was suddenly grabbed up by Naga and was rushed down the hallway at an insanely fast pace. "Let's go Lina-san!" Tears formed in Lina's eyes as the other sorceress whipped her around a corner. *School was going to be HELL this year!*
