Hi people! I'm back with chapter two. Well I consider them to be
more like episodes of slayers then chapters but ah well. It's pretty long, or at least writing it
took a while. Well enjoy what I have written; chapter three will be
done…eventually…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Chapter 2: Sucked into a strange world? The reverse blade sword of light!
The slayers, after falling through
the doorway, found them selves in a strange place. It seemed oddly familiar to
all of them, but no one knew exactly where. Filia, whose deductive skills were
as sharp as the sword of light, led her to one conclusion as to why all of this
was happening…
"WHERE DID YOU TAKE US NAMAGOMI!?!?!" she said calmly enter SARCASM here. She quickly proceeded to beat the poor purple priest with her mace. Through the massive beating Xellos managed to speak, " Knock it off!!! I didn't do it for once I swear!!!" he said in a cracked, but sincere voice. Lina, being the sensible one for the moment, tried her best to stop Filia from making Xellos into purple Mazoku mush.
"Filia! Calm down... it's
not his fault. For once…" she sighed. Filia stopped and Xellos quickly stood
up.
" Thank you Lina Chan! At least
someone's not a total dragon beach with a temper problem!!" he sneered as he
dusted himself off. Gourry, who was awake and was listening, decided it was way
past time for him to put his two cents in. "But doesn't Lina have a BIG
temper problem??" he said innocently. Lina promptly whacked him over the head
and he "OWW'ed" in pain.
"Grrrr. well anyway, where in the
world are we?" she asked as if expecting an answer.
"If I didn't know better…I'd say
this is Sairaag...but it can't be..." Xellos mused. "Well why not?"
Filia asked. Seeing as she lived in the outer world, she had no way of knowing
that Sairaag was destroyed. …Twice no less. Lina turned to Filia and explained.
" Because Sairaag was a giant crater in the ground last time I
checked." She said flatly. Filia was surprised a little, but not much. This got
her thinking, however. "Oh well, maybe we're in the past? Or another world?" she
thought allowed. Xellos didn't let this grand opportunity for an insult get by.
"Wow! I didn't know you could be
so...perceptive Fi-san! And here I thought you dragons were just pushy and
rude, but now I know that you guys really put THOUGHT into it! " he
snickered. Filia twitched. "WHAT WAS THAT??" she growled as she reached under
her skirts for her mace-sama. Lina, who was getting generally annoyed at the
two for such behavior in the situation they were in, decided to step in yet
again. "Will both of you knock it off. This is no time to argue about
anything!" Lina shouted, but it was to no avail. So she decided to make sure
everyone was here and safe. It wasn't until then that she realized that someone
was missing. " Hey where in the world is that idiot Valgaav! How dare he 'volunteer'
us for something without our permission??" she fumed. Suddenly she felt the
earth move beneath her. "Unmer heeeeerm!!! Gemt roooof a mreeeee!!" a
mumbled voice choked. Lina looked down and realized that she was standing on
the ancient dragon. Filia stopped arguing with Xellos when she realized that
her baby was being squished beneath Lina. " Oh Val! Are you alright!?" she
shouted as she picked Lina up and tossed her several feet in another direction.
She helped the crushed young man stand up. " I'm alright mother, it'd take a
lot more than that to hurt me!" he said triumphantly. Lina leapt to her feet
and was about to start fireballing people for they're gross lack of concern for
her presence, when she realized something that was odd. "M-mother?" she asked
stunned.
Filia pulled Lina aside, just enough so that Val couldn't here what she was saying. "Didn't you know, after we killed Valgaav, he was reborn into Val here!" she whispered as she pointed to her adopted son. "Hello!" Val said while waving his hand. Lina hid her face in her hands. "Why doesn't anybody ever tell me these things?" she groaned through her hands. "Well at least I know he's not gonna try and kill me anymore…" she sighed. This left Val very confused. "Huh. Anymore?" he asked. Filia nearly had a conniption, then quickly pulled Lina off to the side again.
"SHH!!! He doesn't remember all of his past!" she whispered harshly. "HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT?!" Lina harshly whispered back. As they were talking a small orange haired boy, looking about 11 or 12years of age, ran into Lina with a loud 'UMPH'. He landed with a thump right on his butt. "Hey! Watch where you're going!!" Lina shouted. " Ow…I bumped into something bony that I did…" he moaned. Lina's eyes glowed red. "Who are you callen' BONEY YOU LITTLE!!!" it took both Gourry and Val to hold her back, but the boy looked completely unconcerned. Until he gasped in horror.
"NOOOO!!!!!!!" he shouted as an opened sign in a nearby window
went to closed. He started sobbing. "NO *sobs* I'm ...too late...that I am..."
he sobbed. Lina blinked in confusion. "Too late for what?" she asked, but he
just pointed to the sign at the top at the building. "They have the best food
in all the province! That they do! And now you made me late!!!" he growled as
his appearance became semi-demonic. Lina made a face of pure pain and anguish that no one had ever seen in
her make about food in the past 23 minutes. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" she wailed
a wail that could wake the dead…FIVE times over. After saying that, she
promptly withered into a little pile 'o Lina.
"I'm…so HUNGRY! We're gunna starve." She sobbed s'more. The orange haired kid was really getting pissed. "HOW DARE YOU KEEP A HANDSOME SORRCERY GEINIUS FROM HIS FOOD!!! You will pay for this!" he was about to cast a fireball when all of a sudden, a roar so ungodly loud sounded, shacking the ground beneath them. Everyone fell over at the magnitude of the monstrous, inhuman roar. After it ended, Lina sat up. "What the heck was that? Was it a demon dragon?" she asked in utter confusion. Orange boy blushed and rubbed his stomach. "Ouch my stomach...I haven't eaten in like 2 hours! That I haven't..." he groaned. Lina gasped in terror. H-how can anyone go without eating for 2 whole hours!!!" she asked horrified.
He just shrugged. "I can 'ruff' it, anyways, you seem kinda familiar to me, wanna go get a taco?" he asked her, ignoring everyone else. Lina's face brightened. "Tacos? Ok let's go!" "It's at the other end of town! and we gotta get there fast before all those other wankers, that we should. RAY WINNG!!" he flew off in the direction of the taco stand with Lina close behind him. The others just stood there, annoyed and ignored. Finally Val spoke up. "What now?" he asked meekly. Gourry pouted. "I wanna taco too…" he whined.
"Hmm.I think we should split up and take a look around." Xellos suggested. "As long as I don't need to be around you I'm fine with it, Namagomi." Filia said smugly. This made Xellos more cranky that usual. "FINE!!!" he shouted. "OK THEN" Filia shouted back.
"...Are those two married or something?" Val thought to himself. "Um... we'll all meet... at that fountain over there at about noon? Is that ok?" he asked the fighting couple. They agree to that and the all go their separate ways.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Gourry was wandering around,
hungry and lost. "I wanna taco…" he sulked. Suddenly Gourry's sharp hearing
picked up someone wailing and whining. He looked around only to see some
massive explosions nearby. "What the?" he said absently as he ran over to see
what was going on.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! WHY ARE ALL OF YOU SO MEAN!!!!" Screamed a tall very tan blonde woman. She was warring a blue kinda space-cadet looking police uniform. (Oh no…brace yourselves people, this wont be pretty.) "Just look what you did to my taco stand wench!!" the owner of the food stand shouted. "Taco?" Gourry asked as he scurried over to look for any leftover tacos.
"But-but I saw a cockroach!" she sniffled. "THAT'S NO EXCUSE!!!" he exasperated.
"I'm sorry..." she said, " But I just can't do anything right without ...(you guessed it all you Tenchi Muyo fans out there…) KYOOOOONEEEEEEEEEE!!" She wailed. "It's ok, you don't haft to cry." Gourry said as he took care of the shopkeeper and chomped on a taco at the same time. Mihoshi's eyes lit up.
"Th- thank you so much...those awful guys were so mean!" she cheered. "I don't know why, there's still plenty of good taco's left." He said as he grab yet another taco and ate it whole. Mihoshi sighed. "I wish my partner Kyone was here..." " Partner?" He asked with his mouth full of taco stuffs.
"Yeah...even though she makes fun of me and calls me dumb 'n things like that..." "Yeah Lina does that a lot to me too." He laughed. "Wow... you seem really smart though...is she mean and angry all the time like Kyone is?" she asked. "Lina makes mean and angry look like compliments…" he sighed. Mihoshi was hanging on his every word.
"Wow how can you stand it?" she asked while chomping on a taco. Right then she noticed his sword of light. Gourry didn't notice her sudden interest in his weapon, so he just continued eating. "Just used to it I guess." He sighed. Suddenly the blonde GP officer decided to inquire about Gourry's Sword. "Wow! Mr.. err...whatever your name was, your sword is big and shiny..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Xellos also was having a bit of trouble finding his way through his new surroundings. "My, this is very odd... where am I now? This layout is completely different from the other two Sairaags…" He said, "It seems to be a red light district…interesting…" before his dirty Mazoku mind could fabricate any ideas, his ears were pierced by the sound of maniacal laughter. It seemed to be coming from a near by ally way.
"VERY interesting... well they say curiosity killed the cat…but I'm not a cat…" He reasoned as he went over to see what was going on. "OHOHOHOHOHOHO!!! CALL ME PRINCESSS!!!" a shrill high-pitched, somewhat British voice commanded. She was a woman with long purple hair, the top layer cut short. She had rose quarts colored eyes and a strange head ornament on. (Looks like another guest appearance from Tenchi Muyo! Poor Xellos-sama…) the woman then whipped a man who she had captured and tied up. All Xellos could do was stare. "Oh my…"
In hearing Xellos whispered comment the domi-woman turned around and glared at him before smiling; a devilish smile. "Oh, well hello there..." she purred as she eyed him, "Your a much better specimen then that trash over there..." she motioned to her victim who was nearly unconscious. "How about we play a little, baby. OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!" she laughed as she cracked her whip. Xellos blinked. "Eep..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Valgaav wasn't having much luck either. Because of his memory loss, he was at the greatest disadvantage. "I don't really remember this place...I wonder where everyone else is...I'm really board..." he sighed as he kicked a rock that was lying on the street. Suddenly a little girl with half pigtails and a little green dress ran by, she wasn't looking and collided into him head on. " OH! I'm so sorry I…" he started, but couldn't finish. He took one look at the girl and he lost his voice. (Aww love at first sight?) He became entranced.
"This...girl, she makes me feel so strange..." he thought. The small girl didn't notice the dumbfounded look on his face; she just blinked and smiled. "Itsh ok. My fault for not looking." She said with a cute little lisp. The sound of her sweet 'lil voice woke Val from his daze like state. "Uh? Huh? Oh! No don't worry about it...say what's your…" he tried to ask. Unfortunately before he could say any more, she ran off into the crowds and he lost sight of her. He sighed. "What a cute little girl she was" he said dreamily, " I wish I could have gotten her name though, oh well…"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Liam (the orange kid) and Lina Were at a nearby Restaurant (at least the 5th one they've hit in the past half an hour.) They were both eating so rabidly, that people were staring at them in disgust. "So (chomp) what are (CHEW) you guys (slurp) doing here in (Chomp) New Sairaag?" he said as he scarfed a chicken cutlet whole. "New Sairaag (chomp chomp)?" she nearly choked.
"Yeah the other one got blown up
buy some nut named Rebo or was it Lezo or- well he blew it up. Somewhere in the
vicinity of 70 or so years ago! "It's (slurp) Rezo...(choke) did you say 70
years!?" Lina nearly choked to death in shock. "Yeah
but he was defeated by the great Lina Inverse! I here she was really cool!
She's the one who inspired me to become a mage that she did!" he said with
pride lined in his whole attitude. "We must have been sent to the future when we sucked
through that doorway..." she thought allowed. Luckily Liam was still on too
much of a roll to hear what she had said.
"Are you ok, you're turning green..." He asked, poking her a bit. "Yeah (cough) I'm fine..." she assured him. "That's good miss…oh I'm so dumb I never got your name!" he laughed, "My name's Liam, what's yours?" Lina broke into a cold sweat. If he knew the truth, if anyone for that matter, she and the others could be in really big trouble. "Oh it's Li... liiii...Lee Lee..." she laughed nervously as she shook his hand. "Heh that's a cute name... do you have a last name Lee Lee?" he asked.
Now Lina was in trouble. Since her stomach was not yet filled to capacity, she was having trouble with her inept spur of the moment thinking. "Uhh yes of course…" she stuttered. "Well I guess if you don't want to tell me that it's ok. Some people find it too personal and if it is I'm sorry." He paused. "Well my full name is Liam, Liam Inverse at your service." He smiled and Lina turned yet another shade of pale. "... I-Inverse?" she stuttered in disbelief.
"Yes, you see, I'm related to the great Lina! I'm just not sure how. I have my mom, grand mom, 3 aunts and a cousin all named Lina, but one of them is Lina Inverse, I know it!" he said with pride. "But I'm not too sure, she died before I could meet her...I wish I could though. In any case I have a gut feeling she was my grandma…" he pouted. But within seconds he was smug and confident again. "I bet you're jealous, your not related to someone like Lina!! I here she was really pretty along with being a master mage!" he said giving the victory sign.
"Um a quick question, who's your grand father?" She asked nervously. "...I forget his name- I know I'm horrible, can't remember my own grand pa's name, but before he passed on he gave me this." He pulled out a strangely family sword. "It's freaky, I wish I were a better swordsman, but I'm not..." he blushed slightly, " built for that sorta thing..." Indeed. Liam was not very strong looking at all, but lina was about to die when she saw the sword he possessed.
"No. Anybody but him, not the Jellyfish for brains… NO!!" she screamed as she twitched to the floor. Liam blinked. "Miss Lee Lee? Are you ok?" he poked her lightly.
Lina just twitched. "Anybody but him... why? Why him?" she moaned. Liam was getting concerned over his new friends reaction. "What's wrong Lee Lee? You're spazing out over my sword? Is that it?" he panicked.
"Not... the sword... the person who
owned the sword...before you...NOOOOOOOO!!!!" (Insert Lina Spaz here) "HEY! Don't you
dare talk trash about any of my family members you little wench! There are two
things you never say to Liam Inverse 1, don't call me short and 2, never EVER
make fun of my family!" he growled. At that moment Lina snapped out of her
little stupor. "Hey wait a minute here! Nobodies making fun of your family... your
grandfather was a great swordsman and a really nice guy, but anybody who knows
him knows his as dumb as a jellyfish!"
Liam's anger was building. "WHAT DID YOU...wait...yeah he kind of was..." he grew suspicious of our heroin, "But how would you know about that?" he asked cautiously. Lina froze. "Er-umm…rumors?" she laughed nervously. "Well I dunno...HEY!!! WAITER!!! ORDER A DINNER FOR 18 OVER TO TABLE 9 PLEASE!!!" he smirked as he tied his napkin to his neck. Lina was outraged.
"What about me!?" she shouted. Liam stared at her curiously. "Oh sorry, I'm to used to eating alone... MAKE IT FOR
30!!!" Lina smiled a big toothy smile. "Now THAT'S what I'm talking
about!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Everyone
had converged back to the water fountain. Filia had purchased at least 9 vases
12 clay rice bowls and 8 poetry books, Gourry was asleep, and Val looked like
he was going to be sick. Xellos was in the worst shape; cuts, whip marks, and
other lacerations lined his whole body. "...Uuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrggggggg...so
much pain...ow...hey Filia can you do me a favor?" he moaned as he walked
closer to the spell bound golden dragon. Filia has her nose buried in a
poetry book looking like she's in absolute bliss.
"Hmmm?" she purred. Xellos inched in until his face was inches away from hers. "Hit me, please?" he whispered. Her mind still in that book, she nonchalantly whips out her mace and hits him over the head, never even taking her eyes off of it. Xellos, being a Mazoku (mazo = masochist. Ku= race. In other words, demons that live on pain.), was loving it. He was in a state of pure bliss, more so then the pottery-obsessed dragon. "Ahhhhhh pain...pure unadulterated dominatrix-free pain..." he sighed. That snapped Filia out of her Zen like state.
"D-d-dominatrix? YOU PERVERTED NAMAGOMI! (Namagomi = raw garbage)" she screamed as she beat him profusely with her mace. "Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh lower, no higher ...ooooo Fi -Chan you're the best!" he cooed. Filia stopped abruptly and gave him a dirty look. "… I DISPISE you…" she growled. Xellos just gave her a little smile. "I love you too (Enter sarcasm here)…" he chirped.
Filia went back to reading her book, and re-entered Zen.
"Mother…" Val blushed, "...Um can
we talk?" he seemed very anxious about something. Filia looked up from her
book. "Of course Val sweetie." She said. Val just fidgeted. "In private..." he
whispered. Filia blinked and nodded. "Oh! Yes, of course..." she said
as she turned and gave Xellos an evil look. Xellos just sighed. "Fine I know where I'm not wanted..." he said as he
vanished. Filia smiled venomously. "It's about time!" she sneered.
Suddenly, a very pissed off Xellos reappeared.
"Bite me!!" he shouted at her, his face inches from hers. "Not if
I was dieing of hunger!!" she shouted right back. Val sighed. "Here we go…" he
said to no one in particular. "What? 'You
afraid you might like what you taste?" he grinned. Filia, being a well-bread
dragon, blushed at that comment. "No! I –I'm just afraid you'd poison
yourself to kill me!" she shouted in outrage. Xellos couldn't pass this grand
opportunity to say something dirty. His grin widened.
"What do you take me for Filia, I'm not that spineless, if I
wanted to kill you I'd do it in a more… creative fashion. In a way in which
we'd both enjoy… or at least I will" he snickered. Filia's last nerve was about
to break. "JUst LEave already!!!" she screeched. Xellos, a very content Xellos, teleported away snickering
to himself.
At that
moment, Gourry decided to wake up. "Huh? What's going on?" he said groggily. This seemed to make Filia
seethe. "Filia? Where's Xellos? Wasn't
he supposed to meet us here?" he asked while rubbing his eye. Filia, who still
seemed to be seething, turned to face him. Namagomi had to go on a sudden
trip, and I suggest you join him if you know what's good for you…" she growled.
Gourry found himself very confused, a state of which he was very familiar, so
he came to the most sensible course of action he could think of.
"Um…ok Filia, I guess I'll go find
Lina then, bye!" He chirped as he ran off to find his friend. This only seemed to make Filia seethe more.
By this time Val was a bit more than a little afraid of his mother's
temperament. He decided now was the best time to cut in, before her anger
became worse. "M-mother?" he squeaked. Filia took a deep breath and tried to
calm down the best she could. She reached into a small bag she was carrying
under her cloak and managed to pull out of it, a complete tea set and table.
"Yes sweet heart?" she purred as she poured herself and her son some tea. "I was walking in the city today and I bumped into this this girl and..." he trailed off. He wasn't aware of it but Filia noticed the slight blush that trailed across his face. "And?" she smiled, sipping some tea. "I don't know," he blushed, "I felt really weird...like I was...sick or something..." Filia couldn't help but chuckle a little at his innocence. "Love at first sight eh?" she giggled. Val turned a brighter shade of red.
"L- love!? But it felt awful!" he spurted. "Oh? Like how?" she smiled. Val twiddled his thumbs, in that cute sick puppy kind of way. "Well I started getting all hot and my palms were sweaty...and my knees were like Jell-O and my stomach hurt..." he rambled. Filia smiled. "That's love…" she sighed. Val was in disbelief. "B- but I love you, and you don't make me feel like total Namagomi..." he pouted. Xellos teleported in and sat next to his old buddy Filia.
"Did some one call?" he smirked. Filia seethed and her eyes glowed a bright crimsoned. "DAMN YOU XELLOS!!" Xellos just ignored the raging dragon and walked over to Val. "Let me give you some advice, Val... Love can be painful, that's why we Mazoku hate it. Even though dragons like Filia say they're better they are still susceptible to this pain where as we Mazoku are not. But in case you do fall in love, don't take it too serious or you'll get hurt..." he winked at the impressionable youth.
Filia growled at him. "What do you know about love anyway?" she yelled, "Love is a wonderful beautiful thing." Xellos tiskd at her. " It's a very dangerous weapon Filia. Wars have been started due to love and it can cripple even the strongest warriors, I see nothing beautiful about that..." he said in a spiteful tone. Val was very confused so decided to sit down. Filia was utterly outraged.
"But look at all the wonderful
plays and poetry that have been written because of love, all the beautiful
songs it inspires and it's because of love that this world exists." Filia said
passionately, almost like one of Amelia's many justice speeches. Xellos felt
his insides twisting and he felt sick. He felt it was way past time to pop her
love and peace filled bubble with what he felt was reality. He couldn't stand
her sappiness any longer.
"Love also can hurt Filia, it is blind, deaf, and numb, and can cause terrible pain. Like loosing someone dear to you, like a father a lover ...*looks at Val* or a son...what would you do if anything happened to him Filia, would you still see this world through your naive rose colored glasses?" Those words fanged Filia with venomous accuracy. She felt as if she was paralyzed, those awful words paralyzed her. She found herself at a loss for words. Xellos smiled devilishly, like he was a wolf who had just made a pleasant kill.
"...Check and mate..." he said. Then after that, silence. "It only hurts if you let it," she whispered. She quickly pulled out her mace and hit him on the head as hard as she could. "HATE HURTS TOO!" she growled. Val just sat there, very confused.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile,
Liam and Lina were just finishing up a light after dinner snack (about 5 orders
of roast beef, triple portions). "Ahhhhhhhhh, that was good that it was..." he
sighed contently. "It sure was" Lina agreed. "Ya know Lee Lee, I know we only
just met but I feel like I've known you forever. I mean your the only one who
eats as much as me and manages not to blow up like a...blowfish..." he laughed.
Lina laughed as she bit into the last of her food.
"Believe me kid, you probably
know more about me than you think." She chuckled. Suddenly Liam didn't seem to
bin a good a mood anymore. In fact he looked down right angry. "K-k-kid!?" he twitched, a vein popping from his neck. Lina
blinked. "Wha-what did I say? Did I say something wrong?" she asked. "I'm 16
years old!!! I'm NOT A KID!!!!" he exploded. Luckily most of the people in the
restaurant had left by then. Lina was shocked. " YOU ARE?" she shouted. Liam
sank back into his chair.
"Yeaaaaaaaaaaah...I'm
just short ok?" he pouted. Lina felt like crud, she knew first hand what it was
like to be 'under-endowed' her self. I'm really sorry-but don't worry, you're
young, you're still growing." She smiled. "Just trust me on that ok?" Liam
sighed and rested his face on the table. "I would but my whole family has been telling
me that for years now...it wont happen anytime soon..." he sighed.
"Don't
give up hope yet... that's probably the worst thing you can do... if there's
one thing I ever learned it's never give up hope." She winked. Liam seemed to
cheer up a bit. "Yeah! What would Lina think
of me if I lost hope over something so dumb," He sighed, "But it's not dumb to me..." Lina patted him
on the back. "She'd think you're thinking too small...it doesn't matter how tall
you are, or how physically strong you are...that's probably the last thing that
matters. She wasn't very tall herself... although sometimes she wished she
was." She trailed off. Liam's eyes brightened.
"Wow Lee
Lee, you must have studied history a lot!" Just then Gourry barged into the
restaurant and spotted his long- time comrade. "HEY LINA!! There you are, I was looking all over for you!" he shouted
as he ran over to their table. Lina froze. "…Hi... Gourry." She said flatly. Gourry smiled and pointed to
Liam. "Hey lina? Who's the kid, is he your
friend?" he asked innocently. Lina could feel the fires of Liam's anger on her
back, literally! Lina gulped. "...K-k-kid?!?!" he growled insanely. Lina laughed nervously.
"This is Liam, and he's NOT a
kid jellyfish for brains!" she shouted as she whacked Gourry over the head. Lima
smiled, the face faulted suddenly. "Hey! Did he just your name was lina?" he
asked curiously. Lina turned white as a ghost. "It's uhh his nick name for me!"
she tried to smile genuinely. Gourry just gave her one of his usual confused
looks. "But I thought Lina was your name
Lina?" he wimpered. "NO! Its Lee Lee, REMEMBER!?" she shouted. Trying to
get through to Gourry was very difficult and she was failing big time. Liam
Frowned.
"Um...Lina
why did you lie to me about your name?" he asked, in a hurt tone. The jig was
up and it was time to come clean. She just hoped he wasn't as clever as he
appeared to be. "Well I didn't TECHNICALLY lie, Li IS a part of my name. I just
ummm repeated the first sound, that's all." She laughed nervously. "Thanks a lot
jellyfish." She grumbled to Gourry. "Well I
don't see why you would in the first place...unless you were from the past, got
sucked into a vortex, landed here in the future and you're really Lina Inverse
my grandma! But that could never happen!" he laughed. Lina's jaw dropped. She
picked it up off the floor and sighed.
"You never know, stranger things
HAVE happened..." she sighed once again.
"Hey we better go find the others they're waiting at that fountain
for us you know..." Gourry mentioned. "Others? Oh yeah there were some other
people with you that there were!" Liam said. "Yeah...Let's go before Filia
turns Xellos into a pancake." Both Lina and Gourry Ran out quickly, neglecting
one important thing. "Good bye…" Liam whispered sadly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Everyone
was still back at the fountain waiting. Xellos appeared to be petting a strange
demon lama. (Note: this demon lama will be a running gag from not on, not
unlike the Trigun cat, look for him k?) Filia sneered. "I hope
you get rabies." The lama grew angry. "GEMU!!!"
it screeched as it snapped at Filia. Filia blinked. "DEMON LAMA!" she screamed as she ran in front of Val to protect
him. Xellos turned to the lama and smiled. "It's
ok little lama, she wont hurt you!" he giggled.
"Gemu!
Gemu!" the lama chirped as it nuzzled Xellos. "What is that thing?" she
screeched. Xellos smirked. "It is a secret!" he purred ah he waggled his
finger. "It is NOT a Secret!! It's a demonic lama...but why does it like
someone like you!?" she shouted. Val sighed and tapped Filia on the shoulder. "Mother, think
about what your saying..." he said. "...Good point, I guess the lama
fell in LOVE with the Namagomi." She sneered.
"Uh
Filia…" he whispered, "It's a boy lama." Filia Grinned, he left himself WIDE
open. Then you two should be perfect together." She laughed. Xellos
growled. And the lama, who was particularly insulted, screamed and bit Filia! "OWW!
That thing bit me!!" she screamed in outrage more than the pain. Xellos
smirked. " …A straight boy lama..." she
mumbled to himself. "Can you guys stop fighting for ten minutes? It's
getting late and we're gonna have to find a place to stay." Lina scolded.
A sudden
voice came from behind. "I think I might be able to help you out with that
Lina!" he said. It was Liam. Lina blinked in surprise. "You followed us?" she asked.
"Yeah...gotta problem with that?" she smiled. Lina smiled the same
smile. "Normally yes, but in the case, you're lucky." "Anyway, I know a guy in New Sairaag, who owes me a favor
so I'm sure he'll let you all stay at the inn, how bout it Lina?" he offered.
"Thanks, I think we'll take you up
on that." She smiled. Everyone who hadn't had the pleasure of meeting Liam only
had one question on their minds. "Who's
the kid?" they all asked. Liam turned the brightest shade of red yet, and lina
