***Author's Note***
Heheh, for those of you who wanted to know, yes, the base of the perfume comes from a whale's vomit. ^^ Just thought it'd be interesting to include the reactions of the perfume-wearers in Slayers! *Gasp* What's Milgasia doing here?!
***End of Author's Note***
"Mil-Milgasia?!" Lina sputtered, looking at the blond man, who is supposedly a professional actor who'd graduated from this school.
Milgasia turned to Lina and sweatdropped.
"What are you doing here?!" both shouted.
"Uh, ano…" Amelia said, looking at Milgasia. "Milgasia-kun, the question really is what you're doing here. What we're doing here is going to school…"
"Yeah, since when did you become a professional actor, eh?" teased Gourry.
"Yare, yare…" Xelloss said, putting on his smile. "Looks like another acquaintance on board…"
Milgasia turned to Xelloss. "You!" he said. "What are all of you doing here?!" he cried exasperatedly. He huffed. And puffed. "Okay. I'm going to tell you what I'm doing here—since it's part of the lesson… But you guys owe me some explanations." He glared at them and turned to Mrs. Fraser, who looked displeased and…is that fear?!
"Hi, I'm Milgasia," Milgasia began. "I have been a professional—"
"My ass," Lina muttered below her breath. For the rest of the class, she slept through it and never listened to a word Milgasia said. When the class is over, Alison woke her up.
"Hey!!!" Alison shouted near her ears.
Lina jumped outright and prepared her fireball. "Fire—" She sleepily winked and Alison, who looked scared. (Who can blame her? After seeing Mrs. Fraser being hit by Fireball three times, no one's going to be not scared with Lina) "Oh, hey, Al! Aaahhh, why'd you wake me up? Oh wait…class is over."
"Oy, Lina," Zelgadis said. "Milgasia said he'll be coming to meet us for some of our explanation after school."
"Isn't that now?" Zangulus said.
"Yes, Zangulus," Lina said dryly. "Man, have you switched with Jellyfish brain there?" Gourry was talking about Shakespeare and the play Hamlet to the only one who would listen to him—Sylphiel.
"Oh, Gourry-sama, you are so right!" Sylphiel said, stars in her eyes.
Lina rolled her eyes. She puts her hands on her hips. "So where's he?"
"Lina."
The Slayers gang turns to Milgasia. Alison and Gina blushed. "I trust you guys don't want us here…confidential stuff, huh?" Alison said, giggling as she walked past Milgasia with Gina.
Sweatdrop. "Ano…" Filia said, looking confused. "I think… we haven't met before. Milgasia, is it?"
Milgasia merely nodded. "There seems to be a familiar aura in you…I sense something similar." His eyes skimmed Filia, who's beaming. "You're a Ryuzoku, aren't you?"
"Bingo!" Xelloss said, winking. "And a bad one at that!"
"Na-namagomi!" Filia took her mace out and dropped it on thin air. Xelloss had merely teleported and chuckled. Straightening herself, she faces Milgasia in embarrassment. "Please don't mind that namagomi mazoku. He's just mad I wouldn't do his crosstitch for him."
"Nanii?!" Xelloss cried. "This has nothing—"
"I used to be a Ryuzoku no Miko… but I'm not one anymore," Filia said, smiling.
"So…" Lina began. "What're we doing now…?"
"Yeah, Milgasia, you can't leave us hanging like that," Naga said.
"Who's this…woman?" Milgasia said.
"Oh, no one important," Lina said, waving Naga off.
"Ohohohohohohohohohohohohoho!"
Everyone shuddered. "Naga! Stop laughing!" Lina shouted.
"How dare you, Lina Inverse, try to exclude me with a conversation any woman should have with a man!" Naga said haughtily. "Need I remind you that I'm a woman more than you are?"
"Naga, if you don't want to get hurt…" Lina said through gritted teeth. "So! Milgasia-kun! What do you propose we do now, huh?"
"Right, about that," Milgasia said, finally turning to Lina. "We'll just go to a café, shall we?"
"Oh, I love tea!!!" Filia cried.
"Eh? What is it with golden dragons and teas, huh?" Lina asked.
***
"So, you're telling me you arrived here for a few days and they asked you to get into school?" Gourry said, scratching his head. "Man, that sounds familiar. Oy, Lina, you know what this sounds like?"
Lina was sweatdropping at Gourry. "Oy, Gourry, are you just brilliant with everything that revolves among English education?" she said dryly. "That's us, Gourry, you idiot, US!" Lina shouted, throwing a spoon at Gourry but missing a few head and it hits another one's head. Ignoring the shout the other one gave her, Lina turned to Milgasia. "So how'd you become an actor?"
"Well, I was always able to keep a straight face when I make jokes or something, and I was able to express my feelings the way I wanted to," Milgasia said, still keeping his own expression clear while sipping his tea. "And my dragon humor is wildly appreciated around here, you know?"
Sweatdrop. "Riight…" Lina looked at Martina, who glared at Milgasia. Both of them knew all too well what dragon humor Milgasia's talking about, even though the others doesn't. Lina and Martina had been in a labyrinth where the Claire Bible is kept and they nearly fell into another dimension when Milgasia told them it's too late, they can't go anywhere else now.
Lina could be seen with a scared face and Martina's voice could be heard wailing. "Just kidding," Milgasia had said. Facefault.
Out of sheer respect, of course, Lina hadn't Fireball the golden dragon at the Katahto Mountains. "Well, that's not important," Lina said, shaking her head. "Anyway, I'm seriously bored with this damned school! I don't care what you all say, but I say we continue our journey."
"Lina-san, please?" Amelia said. "Can't we stay here? It's such a pleasant place!"
"No," Lina said firmly. Milgasia sipped his coffee.
"Ohhhh," Amelia said disappointedly. "Can't we go after prom then?"
"No," Lina said, looking irritated at Milgasia, who's still sipping his coffee.
"Please?" Amelia pleaded, stars in her eyes, making a cute face.
Sweatdrop. Finally, Lina heave a huge sigh. "If you weren't so damn kawaii, I wouldn't have resort to such a thing!" she said. "Fine. And Xelloss, get lost!"
"Iie?!" Xelloss said. "What's wrong?"
"You're making Milgasia nervous," Lina said. "He keeps sipping his coffee and you kept glaring at him. Between that, you still find your time to irritate Filia and plead her to help you with your crosstitch!" she shouted. "Why are you following us, anyway?"
Xelloss smiles his smile. "Sore wa himitsu desu."
***
Soon the prom is coming, and everyone's been anticipating the last two days that are coming. Everyone's whether talking about what they'll be wearing or whom they're going with or how big Naga's boobs will look like when she wears a low cut dress. No one cared about the weather anymore.
"Ano, Lina-chan, are you sure you're not going?" Amelia asked, lowering her head so that Mr. George, the biology teacher, couldn't see her talking. "It would be fun, you know? After all, we're leaving this school after prom—L- sama knows how—so your reputation as the bad girl would never cease…"
"Yeah," Sylphiel said, agreeing. "It would be fun to see everyone there, having fun. L-sama knows we need that more than anyone in this world." ["Ahem," the author said.] "Not that the others don't, they just don't need it as much as we do." Sylphiel sweatdropped.
Lina shook her head, copying down notes. "Nope," she said, making a vow to burn all of her supposedly notebooks (which are, of course, nearly empty) after they left school. Thank L-sama after this is all over. "I hate socialism."
"Yare, yare, Lina-san!" Xelloss said, smiling. "You always 'socialize' with people with your Fireball…" ^^
"Xelloss," Lina said, glancing sideways at Xelloss. "If you know what's good for you—which you usually don't—you'll shut up, won't you?" She grinned.
Xelloss nodded. "So, to continue—"
"For your sake, Xelloss, I will not Fireball you because I know you love inflicting pain and receiving it," Lina said calmly.
"Iie, Lina-san!" Xelloss cried. "You're no fun at all! What happened to old Lina I liked who loves inflicting pain everywhere?"
Lina smiles sweetly. "This school has taken the fun out of me."
"Noooo…" Xelloss said, receiving the good vibe from Lina.
"Oh, come on, Lina," Gourry said, patting Lina at the back while copying the notes down at the same time. (Wow…) "You know you want to! The only problem is to find someone who'll actually go with you…" Gourry ponders at this and didn't notice the vein that popped at Lina's head.
"Gour-rrrryyyyyyyy!" Lina said, veins popping at her hands now as well.
"What?" Gourry said.
Lina breathe in. She closed her eyes. Breathe out. Breathe in and out—phew. "Okay, fine, I'm in a state of total calmness, I am meditating, I am the air…I'm in the water…I'm the exact opposite of chaos…"
"'I'm a mazoku'," Xelloss whispered near Lina's ear.
"I'm a—" Lina opened her eyes. "Xelloooooossss!!!"
Xelloss could be seen cackling.
"Miss Lina Inverse!"
"What now?" Lina shouted.
Mr. George raised his eyebrow. "I would assume you're copying this down," he said. "I'm not too surprised, however, if you aren't. Many people who are underdeveloped like you find it hard to fits in the knowledge in their brain because people that have small brains also have small—"
"Fireball!!!"
***
"Gourry-sama," Sylphiel said, concerned, holding Gourry's arm for support. "Are you sure you can go to the prom in this state? It's just in another two days you know?" She seemed to glare at Lina before she turns back to Gourry.
"Eh, I think I can make it," Gourry said, smiling at Sylphiel gratefully.
"You and Mr. George make a great insulting team," Lina said, slapping her hands together, smiling. "That was great! I haven't felt so riveted since then! I've not attacked anyone for about a month!"
"Iya, Lina-san!" Xelloss said. "That was so relieving! Finally!"
"Shut up, you namagomi," Filia said, vein popping.
"Hi, Filia-san!"
Filia, veins all gone, turned to Valgarv with a big smile plastered on her face. "Valgarv-kun!" she called, hugging him. "Oh! I haven't seen you in such a long time!"
"Uh…" Valgarv said, sweatdropping. "Filia, it's only been a few hours."
Filia, blushing, step back. "Never mind."
Xelloss snickered. "Finally. I thought my mind's going to burst from all that mushy stuff."
"Only you, Xelloss-sama, couldn't see the perfectness of love! Oooh, the joy! The prom is coming!" Amelia said, stars in her eyes, her arms around a blushing Zelgadis. "This is a chance to confess our loves to everyone! In the name of Justice and Love, I will not let a single soul miss it. Well, that is, except for Lina. She's too powerful to be forced."
Xelloss had already dropped on the floor.

Heheh, I know what you're thinking. Again?! Oh well. Anyway, for those who didn't know the meanings of some of the Japanese words, here are the translations so you guys won't be confused and can enjoy the story. ~.^ I'll be writing Chapter 5 shortly if I don't have any writer's block.
