Slayers Return
Again 16
"Are we ever going to get
to the north pole? We've been traveling for ten days now!" Martina complained.
"Chill out, Martina. we'll
be there in about three days." Lina said.
"Three more days?!" Martina
and Amelia exclaimed.
"Can't take three more days,
huh?" Zelgadis asked Martina and Amelia. He stared pointedly at Amelia.
Amelia glared back.
"Of course we can take three
more days. Just we've been traveling for so long." Amelia said in supeiror
voice.
"That's not what it seems."
Zelgadis said grouchly.
"Who asked you?" Amelia asked.
Zelgadis was about to reply when:
"NANI NANI NANI!? Here we
are traveling and you decided to argue?! You've been acting like this for
days!" Lina yelled.
"Hai! Lina!" Zelgadiss and
Amelia said. The cold wind nipped at everyones faces and made everyone
sort of in a bad mood. Above a dark haired young man watched them. He laughed
to him self his white cape blowing in the wind.
"Soon Lina Inverse. I'll get
you." He laughed again, unheard by the group.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Ok we can take a quick break.
We'll meet back her in two hours. Got it?" Lina said when they reached
the next town.
"Hai." Everyone parted. Gourry
and Lina went to get some food. Martina and Zangulus went to shop. Xellos
and Filia went for ice cream. Amelia and Zelgadis went to take a walk....
In the different directions
"Hm so many choices." Filia
said looking at the list of ice creams.
"Pick anything you want. My
treat." Xellos said.
"Really?" Filia asked....
then narrowed her eyes.
"What's the catch?" She asked.
"Nothing! My treat. I'm just
trying to be nice." Xellos said sweatdropping.
"Ok... Hm lets see. I'll take
a vanilla cone with strawberries. Double scoop." Filia told the lady at
the stand.
"Yeah I'll have what she said."
Xellos said.
"That'll be 100 yen." The
lady told them, getting their ice cream. Xellos paid for the Ice cream
and he and Filia were happy on their way, licking their ice cream.

"Oh what a pretty necklace!!"
Martina exclaimed. Zangulus smiled at Martina as she gushed over the dress.
"Get it. it's yours." Zangulus
told her.
"Oh really?! Your the best!"
She got on her tiptoes and kissed her husband on the lips. Zangulus's smile
grew bigger, returned the kiss and paid for the necklace. "
Want me to put it on you?"
He asked her. Martina nodded. He fiddled with the clasp until it was on
her.
"Oh thank you Zangulus! Your
so sweet!" She hugged him.
"Anything for my Martini."
He said teasing her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I'm so bored.... Lina-san
probably having the time of her life eating. While Martina-san is probably
buying something. Filia-san proabbly is licking her ice cream happily and
here I am by myself. Zelgadis-san is probably walking around town like
the grouch that is he is." Amelia said sitting by the waterfall.
"What do you think your doing?"
A voice behind her said. Amelia gasped and looked behind the waterfall.
"Why are you following me?"
Amelia accused Zelgadis.
"I'm not. I decided to sit
at the waterfall. Anway I was here before you." Zelgadis snorted.
"Well la de da. You think
your something great don't you." Amelia said angrily.
"I know I'm much better then
you." Zelgadis said.
"Bring it on." Amelia stood
up and cupped her hands getting ready throw a spell.
"Whenever your ready, baby."
Zelgadis growled standing up likewise.
"LEVATATION!! Amelia immediatley
levetated to the air so no one around them would get hurt. Zelgadis followed
her suit.
"BRAM BLAZER!!!!" Amelia shouted.
A schokwave of lighting flew at zelgadis. He easily blocked it.
"That's your best? SHADOW
SNAP!!" He yelled. Amelia imediatly got caught and was stuck.
"FIREBALL!!! He threw a fireball
toward her
"LIGHTING!!!" She called.
She easily dodged the fireball.
"Oh you think your so great?"
Amelia's levatation wore off and she jumped back down. Zelgadis followed
her. Amelia placed her hand to the ground
"DIL BRANDO!!" The earth underneath
Zelgadis blew him in the air.
"LEVATATION!!!" He yelled.
His levatation wasn't that good but it got him safely to the ground. He
smirked. "This isn't getting me no where." Amelia gasped as she realized
what he was going to do.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Lina stop stealing my food!"
Gourry complained between bites.
"This is yours.... I was just
eating mine." Lina said grabbing a chicken leg. There was a peice of sausage
left on the plate. Lina and Gourry looked up and growled at each other.
They readied their forks and knives to go in combat.
"Gourry why don't you ever
let me have the last peice?" Lina argued. Gourry was about to reply when
they heard a shout ring out.
"A fight!!"
"Some girl and guy are fighting
in the street!" Lina grabbed the last piece and sausage and followed the
crowd out to see what was going on. "
Source of all souls which
dwells in the eternal and infinite." Zelgadis's was heard over the
hushed crowd.
"Ever lasting flame of blue."
They heard Amelia say.
"Let the power hidden in my
soul." Zelgadiss gathered the Ra Tilt in his hands.
"Be called forth from the
infinite..." Amelia looked up. Lina rushed past the crowd to Zel and Amelia.
"RAY WING!!" She yelled pushing
them into the air. The Ra Tilt was immediatly canceled. Lina brought them
both down to the ground.
"Come with me." She said walking
away. The crowd walked. Gourry sat down by the water fountain to wait for
Lina.
"What is with you two?!" Lina
asked angrily.
"Ask him." Amelia muttered.
"Why don't you ask bitchy
superhero freak?" Zelgadis muttered back.
"Wait, I'm bitchy?!" Amelia
asked.
"Well you finally realized
it." Zelgadis said.
"YOU ARE THE MOST SELFISH,
SELF CENTERED, SON OF A BITCH THAT I'VE EVER MET!!!" Amelia yelled at him.
"SILENCE!!! I want to know
what is going on and I want to know now!" Lina growled. Amelia and
Zelgadis clamped up.
"Alright, you don't want to
act like mature aldults? Fine, Amelia why are you mad at Zel?" Lina said
with gritted teeth.
"Because he's so self centered,
all he cares about is himself and he always has to ignore me." Amelia sniffed
with her head in the air.
"Alright, Zelgadis why do
you hate Amelia?" Lina said calmly turning to Zelgadis.
"Becuase she always has to
jump on trees, tables etc and yell about how justice is going to win. DO
you know how annoying that is?" Zelgadis said turning away from Amelia.
"Ok I want you two to ask
the other why they act like that. Maybe you'll understand." Lina said walking
away. Zel and Amelia stood there in silence.
"Amelia..." Zelgadis said,
just as Amelia said "Zelgadis-san."
"Go ahead." Zelgadis told
Amelia. "Zelgadis-san why do you always ignore me like that? You were always
depressed and I just wanted to offer you friendship. Even now...." Amelia
trailed off. Zelgadis thought for a moment.
"Amelia... I never meant to
ignore you. I mean No I didn't want friendship. Rezo told me to never love
anyone. Because the one you love will always break your heart. I mean yes
I do love you guys but....." Zelgadiss trailed off.
"Yes I understand." Amelia
fiddled with her bracelet.
"What about you? How come
your so...?" Zelgadiss started.
"Such a justice freak?" Amelia
said bluntly. Zelgadiss nodded.
"I wasn't at first. Me and
my sister Gracia watched our mother's bloody death. I was a kid then and
when Gracia ran away, I hated the world. All I had was my dad." tears came
to Amelia's eyes as she remebered.
"My dad wanted me to help
him show the owrld justice. I used to tell him no, justice is stupid. Mom
would be here and so would Gracia if justice was real. Father would get
frustrated. I used to lock my door with a spell I learned and he didn't
know it and neither did anyone else. It was a black magic spell." Amelia
laughed a little.
"Then when I got older I started
thinking about how bad guys and evil people would be stopped and people
wouldn't have to go thru that if there was justice. I thought If I could
help Father show the world justice then we could just save the world. And
that's how it started. Ever since then I didn't give up on justice." Amelia
ended. They both fell into to silence.
"Amelia would you forgive
me?" Zelgadis said haltingly after awhile.
"Under one condition..." Amelia
said. Zelgadis stiffened and got defensive.
"Only if you forgive me too?"
Amelia turned and smiled at him.
"Ja." Zel said smiling back.
Amelia giggled and threw her arms around Zelgadis in a hug. He was surprised
but returned the hug akwardly.
"Well I guess you two made
up. Care to tell me why you two were mad at each other?" A voice said from
behind them. Amelia and Zelgadis stepped away from each other.
"I guess that's a no. Well
come on. Time to go. And no more Ra tilts!" She said. Zelgadis and Amelia
blushed.
"Sorry about that fight earlier."
Amelia said.
"Yeah me too. They walked
off to join Lina and the others.
