Chapter Two: Sparks Fly
M-chan: *runs in and greets the readers hyperly, Jolly Rancher sucker wrappers adourning the floor* HELLO, MINNA!!!
Jackson: *sweatdrop* That's what I get for giving those to you...
M-chan: *glomps him* ARIGATOU, JACKSON-KUN!!!
Jackson: *sweatdrop grows bigger*
Zelgadis: Would you start already, M-chan! *notices the hypered look* Uh oh...
M-chan: *glomps onto him* Zelly-chan isn't mine, unfortunately, and neither are the rest. Himeko I do own, however!
Jackson: And I good thing that is, 'cause I can see her everyday! *wolf whistle*
Zel & M-chan: *sweatdrop*
Chapter Two: The Path Begins Anew!
Zel froze as Lina's voice rang through the tavern, drawing attention to his dark, little table. She stood there proudly, hands on her hips as Gourry and Amelia filed in after her.
"Seems I found yo- who's that?!" Lina's voice had gone from warmly happy and bright to coldy angry in a matter of milliseconds, expression going blank.
Himeko unlatched herself from Zel and smiled kawaiily at the assembled group of Slayers. "I'm Himeko Kawaiilyn, Zelly-chan's friend."
Amelia blinked. "Zelgadis-san has friends other than ourselves?"
Said chimera sweatdropped, "Thanks Amelia." The princess had the decency to blush. Lina, all the while, was rolling on the floor, laughing so hard tears had formed in the corner of her eyes. Gourry just pointed, question marks popping all over the air above his head.
"Zelgasid has a girlfriend?" All movement in the tavern stopped (occupants of said tavern were mostly young men and not used to such excitement in their one horse town, so they had been listening closely) and all eyes were on a very red Zel and a very startled Himeko.
One pair of eyes, ruby red as setting sun, took in Himeko's every detail. So she was pretty... aren't the thinker as well? Lina's eyes became darkened as her hair hid the searching eyes.
Zel was red, as he usually became when matters of the fairer sex were concerned, and he babbled incoherently as he tried to piece together something to say to the accusation. Himeko only blinked, then began to giggle. "Zelly-chan, my boyfriend?! Hehe, I only just got reacquainted with him today!" She began to tell then about the past and Lina brightened with every sentence.
"So you see, I was just overly estatic to find Zelly-chan again!" Lina grinned knowingly. 'This girl isn't that bad...'
~*~*~*~
"So what brings you way out here, Zel? I mean, this is the only town around for miles," Lina commented, finishing what was probably the last of the aforementioned town's food.
Zel had long since pulled his hood and veil and hood ensemble (Very ~in~ this season!) back on, after he had explained his past life without Himeko to her. She was now leaning back in her chair with her arms crossed and eyes closed in a deep meditative stance. "There's talk about an ancient manuscript nearby. It may be the same one Rezo read and choose my curse from. And where there's a curse, there's usually a cure."
Lina's eyes bulged shock and she spit her half chewed food all over Gourry and Amelia. "WHAT??!! The Monochim manuscript... here of all places?!"
Zel nodded. "Seems Rezo read and memorized the script, then left it here with a trusted college. It wasn't soon after that he cursed me." His patented depression cloud settled over the entire tavern, save his table companions. Himeko was looking at it curiously, wondering what could make Zelly-chan so sad. Lina was daydreaming about what kind of money she would be able to get selling the manuscript for. Gourry was just eating as much as he could, brain screaming ~Lina's not eating! Stuff as much as you can!!~ And last, Amelia was rehearsing her latest justice speech on the cook.
Himeko glanced at the brooding Zelgadis, and scowled. She smacked him on the back of his head, then yelped, sticking her fingers in her mouth. "Fou're Fard!"
Zel blinked, expression showing confusion. "Come again?"
"You're hard!"
"Gee, thanks for reminding me!" he scowled.
"I'm only stating facts!"
"Ones I don't like to be told about!"
"Excuse me! I haven't been around since you left!"
Zel and Himeko glared at each other across the table, sparks flying. As one they stood, then stormed off in opposite directions. Zel went up to his room and Himeko out to the stable yard.
Lina sighed. "Great, just great..."
~~~
Gomen about the corny ending. -_-' I was kinda stuck. Again, 7 reviews or I won't continue. And the ending pairing will be Lina/Zel.
