( You guys, thanks for reading my story! I know my writing is a little bad, but I'm more of an artist than I am a writer ( It's been about a year since I actually took the time to sit down and be patient with my ideas.) GOMENASAI to ALL those people out there who are devoted writers, I'm sorry! I'll try harder in future stories, al right? I promise! Keep coming with those reviews! =^-^=)
(Note- Melancholy songs from The Vision OF Escaflowne and Tenchi in Love Two helped me to write this story! ^^)
The Ebony Flowing

" What…I think of you?" Lina questioned, not grasping onto the idea of what his intent was. The look on her face was that of surprise.
" It's al right, you don't have to-uhh…answer me, Lina, I was just thinking out loud." So there was a way he could turn tail and run like a coward! And boy, let me tell you how FAST he ran too!
It's better off this way…I should have never opened my damn mouth. They're all right…I'm a fool.
" I'm glad, it's getting late!" While pushing herself back from the table, Lina got up and stretched out her arms. The feeling was still there…that internal battle which was consuming the denial in her heart. She felt like a liar, a phony, and a cheater covering up the truth. It was terrible.
" Well then, I guess I'll see you later in the morning, huh?" Gourry smiled pleasantly despite the situation at hand. Even through the dazzling façade, Lina could still make out that he was troubled. Troubled? But about what…?
" Of course." Lina's eyes sparkled against the clearing skies. " Good night, Gourry."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A wonderful summer breeze blew over the field of wild flowers, creating the illusion of waves. The skies above looked as if they had been painted with cumulous clouds in the horizon, as the sun shone a golden array. In the middle of this breathtaking landscape, was a petite red haired woman in a beautiful pastel yellow sun dress. It fell down upon the middle of her thighs, fitting her slender body perfectly. Yellow wild flowers accessorized the half pony tail in the back of her head, all going well with the attire.
(*I will get the pic of this scanned up as soon as possible for you guys*)
So beautiful…
In all the surrounding extravagance, this lugubrious feeling fell upon the area, as a music box sweetly chimed a melancholy tune. The song filled her ears from everywhere at once. Lina darted her head left and right, but couldn't see where it could be coming from. For as far as she could see, there was nothing but field, flower and sky.
As the wind continued to gently grab among the ends of the dress and her hair, Lina gazed deep in a child-like awe. The mysterious sound called out to her, reached out to her. It consumed her mind, grabbed at her heart and soul.
This song…It's familiar…
Her brow slightly lowered as she listened more closely. Her heart beating inside her recognized the tune somehow, but Lina didn't understand…
Have I heard this before? A long time ago, maybe…?
She slowly lifted her right foot, as if to take a step forward, but she stopped right there. Squinting her eyes with a hand shielding the bright sun, she could see… Something was far in the distance, coming her way, and only one person came to mind.
Gourry?
Closer and closer he came, running non-stop aggressively. A fierce look was sported upon his face, with his teeth clenched in an angry matter. The sword he received from Xellos in place of the Sword of Light had been drawn, now clutched in his big hands to his side.
Lina smiled gratefully, seeing that it was Gourry, but it dissipated when she realized he had angrily approached her, bringing his sword to his front. His growl was loud and vicious, terribly disturbing.
" LINA!!!!" The swordsman's voice echoed, loud and clear.
" RETURN HER TO ME!!!!" Lina's eyes widened with fear. What was going on?! Gourry would rather cut off his hands than to so much as threaten her, she knew that. " DID YOU HEAR ME?! I WANT HER RETURNED!!!" Gourry furiously held his sword closer to her neck.
" Gourry? What are you talking a-about," she gulped, " It's me, I'm right here, Gourry!" Fear filed the atmosphere as the melancholy tune continued to sound, replaying over and over, getting intensely louder, deeper into her soul.
"
" WHY?!" Finally Lina screamed, clutching at the sides of her head with shaking hands. " WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?! SOMEONE HEL-"
