Slayers High

Chapter 9
Thing couldn't get any worse, right?......WRONG!
"Would Phibrizo Rubyeye please come to the office, Phibrizo Rubyeye please come to the office." Phibrizo looked up to the speaker that had just shouted the massage. He then looked to Lina beside him and shrugged his shoulder. " What do ya think they want?" Lina whispered. "I have no idea, but it sounded kinda urgent." Phibrizo said standing. "You are excused Mr. Rubyeye, heaven knows what you have done now." The teacher said looking up from her papers. There was a hush as Phibrizo exited the room.
Ok, I know I didn't do anything that would get my called down to the office today. Though I did kiss Lina, but that couldn't be it....Gaav and Valgaav are always going at it in the hallways. The teachers just ignore it and walk over them. So what could it be? Phibrizo though as he walked down the hall turning a corner.
Let's see it could be mom or dad, but if it is that can only mean that they got into some trouble. Or maybe it's my so called pain in the ass 'stepfather' just wanting to bitch at me again, god I hate Cepheed, and his five kids, what PANSIES! Why the hell did my mother marry him? Knowing her it was probably to spite us, plus he's loaded. 'Phibrizo not the time to vent your anger!' THINK! Well at least I know it can't them, there probably off somewhere in Hawaii. So no worries... Phibrizo lost his train of thought just as he caught a glimpse of who was in the office. SHIT! NO WAY! Phibrizo mentally yelled as he put on a fake smile and walked trough the door. "PHIBRIZO! How's my only child?" A woman with long blond hair and a black dress said before grabbing Phibrizo into a big bear hug. Only a nightmare, it's only a nightmare! He told himself as he gasped for breath.
Finally the woman released Phibrizo allowing him to talk. "Mother I'm not your only child, you have 2 other boys and 2 more girls. Remember Zellas, Dyanst, Gaav and Dolphin?" Phibrizo said rolling his eyes. The man beside the woman snorted with disgust as Phibrizo listed his siblings. Phibrizo narrowed his eyes at the man. "Oh Cepheed, stop that. And Phibrizo of coarse I remember them, I went through the pain of giving berth to them. But you're the only one I actually like dear." His mother said with a wicked grin.
Phibrizo had to admit that when Mom and Cepheed were around, he was the most understanding. While all his other siblings tried to kill Cepheed about every chance they got. He could never really understand why he didn't try too start trouble, cause god knows he could. Perhaps he was destined to play peacekeeper in his family; still that didn't stop his sibling from totally pissing mom off, not to mention himself too sometimes. Oh well, she loves them,... right?...she has to love them. Guess I'm just different...
"LoN dear, must we stay here any longer?" Cepheed asked looking at the school around him. "Of coarse not dear, we only came home to talk with Phibby and let him know we were here." LoN glared at her husband who immediately backed down. "Ya mom, that's another thing...why are you here?" Phibrizo asked sounding less than impressed. This was the last thing he needed right now. "Is it a crime for a mother to come home and visit her family once and a while?" LoN said trying very hard to sound appalled at his question. Phibrizo raised an eyebrow. "Police after you again?" Phibrizo asked. He wasn't about to believe the crap his mother had just said, he knew his family too well for that. "Ya. Geez you try and smuggle a trunk into Europe and they give you hell. I don't understand it." LoN said angrily. "Mother, I think it was more the fact that the trunk was full of diamonds and jewels." Phibrizo said matter-of-factly.
LoN smiled at Phibrizo, "You always were the smart one." " Though we wont have anything illegal going on while were home this time, ok? We can't risk it." Cepheed glared at Phibrizo. "HEY! I didn't steal that car! It was Gaav, I only returned it! OK!" Phibrizo glared back at Cepheed, recalling the incident the last time they were in town. "Anyway, need I remind you that we live in a very bad town! I don't think anyone will notice if we have a few joints laying around, courtesy of your other children of coarse." Phibrizo said siting in a chair. "Well dear, we will have that all fixed by the time you kids get home. In fact it's in the works right now." LoN said kindly. Phibrizo looked at her questioningly though knew better than to ask, he just nodded. The lunch bell rang *RING* "We have to go now dear, tell your brothers and sitters that we will be staying for a bit. Just tell them that we wanted to spend more time at home." LoN said with disgust in her voice. "Ya, sure mom. Bye!" Phibrizo said running out of the office to the cafeteria.

" I 'AM NOT HANGING OFF THAT PEP-RALLY REJECT AGAIN!" Sherra yelled to the other Darklords and Slayers. "Hey, I am not a Pep-rally reject!" Amelia said angrily, held pom-poms at her hips. Both groups rolled their eyes. "Amelia remember we are doing this for Lina." Zelgadis said placing his hand of the upset cheerleader's shoulder. "I know, I'm sorry." Amelia sat down. "So what are we going to do then? The plan was to try and get them to feel comfortable around us, so they could be together. Though I think we only succeeded in scarring them, they looked freaked out." Zellas said taking a puff from her cigarette. "Why the hell are we doing this for the hell-munchkin anyway?" Gaav asked looking at his family with disgust. "Would It kill you to do something nice!" Dolphin yelled. Gavv looked as though he was in deep though about the question. "YES! Yes it would! Deeply!" Gaav glared at his sister. Dolphin turned away. "Well, personally I do not enjoy my valentine partner either. People, c'mon NAGA!...geez, who came up with our partners!" Dolphin bared her teeth.
Everyone looked at each other to see who made the parings. "Who actually did?" Zelgadis asked, voicing everyone's question. "Think fruit cake." Dynast said monotone, finally breaking his silence. Everyone turned to glare at Xellos who was in the process of seeing how many pencils would fit in his hair. "XELLOS! You made the pairings!?!" Zelgadis yelled. Xellos looked up confused "Ya, why? Something wrong?" Xellos asked innocently. Everyone sweat-dropped. "Never mind" Zel mumbled turning back to the others. "Well, were going to have to think of another way..." Filia worried as she sat next to Zellas.

Phibrizo was on his way to the cafeteria when he ran into Lina...literally. "OUCH! HEY, WATCH WERE YOUR GOI....oh sorry Phibrizo I didn't know it was you." Lina apologized quickly. "It's ok," Phibrizo said checking if his guitar was ok. They both began to walk to the cafeteria in silence. "Are you ok, Rizo-chan?" Lina Smiled. Phibrizo looked worried and confused. He stopped walking and leaned against the wall, "Do think anything weird is going on? " He asked. "What do you mean...'weird'?" Lina raised an eyebrow.
"Like all our friends and my family going out together, when they can barley stand each other let alone date." Phibrizo looked around suspiciously, though not mentioning his mother and stepfathers return home.
"What are you saying? That they're only pretending? But why would they do that?" Lina looked skeptical.
"OF COARSE! Why, I don not know. My family is probably behind it knowing them." He sighed.
"You could be wrong you know. Give your family some slack, maybe they want to change."
"YA RIGHT! The same people that started the plague! I don't think so, they will never change!" Phibrizo said bitterly.
"How can you seriously blame your family for causing the plague?!?" Lina almost shouted, the notion sounded so silly to her.
"Lina, I bet you if I traced far enough back and did enough research it would prove scientists wrong. I bet you I would find who really started it all...my FAMILY! You don't know them like I do, it would seem like a joke to them." Phibrizo ranted as Lina sweat-dropped.
"Sure, whatever Phibrizo. I still think your wrong." Lina said stubbornly.
"Wanna bet on it?"
"Sure, what's the price?"
"The person that wins get the last point, the final strike that will tell us who has won our little ten year war, since we don't need it anymore." He explained.
"So what does the loser do?" Lina asked smugly.
"Whatever the winner tells them to do." Phibrizo grinned.

"So, you say we just tell them?" Zellas asked. "No, we should do it tackle and as discreet as possibly. Leave it to us." Dynast said calmly. They finally all agreed, then jumped back to their tables as they saw Lina and Phibrizo walk into the room. Phibrizo looked at the separate tables, "See I told you." He whispered. "That doesn't prove anything." Lina hiss back before sitting at her table, and Phibrizo at his. Lunch passed strangely quiet.
After Lunch they all went to their classes, Phibrizo wished the day would last longer. He didn't want to go home to his family and try to stop them from killing each other. Though instead of slow the day went fast and soon Phibrizo was gathering his books from his locker. He walked outside and saw his brothers and sisters waiting. "Hey, guys who you waiting for?" Phibrizo ran up to them. "You, ya moron! What took you so long?!?" Gaav snapped. "Geez sorry." Phibrizo started to walk slowly behind them.
"I call dibs on the computer when we get home." Gaav yelled.
"NO WAY! I did at breakfast!" Dolphin screeched.
Phibrizo rolled his eyes. " Actually it would be my turn guys."
Dolphin and Gaav both turned and glared, "HELL NO!" Both said in unison. "Get lost brat! You're not getting on the computer!" Gaav yelled back before turning to argue more with dolphin. Phibrizo was now walking beside Zellas, "Hey, what's their problem." Phibrizo hissed " Oh, I don't know! Maybe they find you incredibly annoying like the rest of the world!" Zellas snapped walking ahead. Phibrizo was shocked. Sure, his family was rude, mean and inconsiderate but Dolphin nor Zellas had ever been so cruel or snap like that. He looked to his side, Dynast walking beside him reading as book.
Dynast looked down at him for a second, but just ignored him and went back to his book. That was it! Phibrizo didn't like being yelled at or ignored! These were the exact same reasons he almost ended his life!
"THAT'S IT! What is your guys' PROBLEM!?!" Phibrizo yelled stopping in his tracks. Dynast gave the others a look,...Gaav ignored it.
"OUR problem! We don't have a problem! It's you that has the problem, you and Lina pretending to hate each other! To think we all went lovey dovey with the 'Slayers'. FOR YOU! Eewewewewew!" Gaav yelled making a face.
"Very discreet and tactful Gaav." Dynast said sarcastically.
"I KNEW IT!" Phibrizo said pointing at them all. "So why do you still act like enemies?" Dolphin asked allot softer than Gaav did. "Well, we won't be for long." Phibrizo said satisfied as he patted his pocket. There was the evidence he needed. Phibrizo walked past his confused siblings...
"Oh, and by the way...Mom and Cepheed are home."
