***Author's Note***

I've just noticed something horrible. *Gasp* I didn't bother putting up disclaimers before… Oh well. Here goes: sadly, I don't own Slayers or any of the characters. However, if I do, the characters won't be as wacky as they are in my fanfic… :p

Thanks you guys for your wonderful comments! I appreciated it so much. Even though my fanfic wasn't the best out there [as there are so many of them], you guys read mine. *sniff* I'm touched… Okay, back to business! Enjoy the fanfic! This is a little heavy, and that's saying something, than the last fanfics I usually wrote. I know, how low can I go, huh?

***End of Author's Note [More like rambling]***

Lina was still wondering what Xelloss meant by crashing the prom. Of course, there wasn't much pride in you if you know what a Trickster Priest is talking about. It wouldn't be something to be pleased about. She followed him to the refreshments table and, of course, eats as many as she can devour. And that's saying something.

"Iie, Lina, don't eat so many!" said Xelloss, looking quite embarrassed. "There won't be much left for the entire student in this school!"

"Well, yeah, you snooze, you lose!" Lina said, putting a cupcake in her mouth. "Aahh, this place is really great. It would be great if there's no mushiness going around, don't you agree?"

"Ah, that's where crashing the prom comes in!" Xelloss said, chuckling. "When you create chaos, you get a certain reaction out of someone, and that feeds me… Revitalized!"

Lina nodded. "Okay. So where do I fit in this whole thing…?"

"Oh, Lina-san!" Xelloss said, wriggling his finger. "So suspicious!"

"Calling yourself Trickster Priest wasn't a good way to win our loyalty," Lina said, grinning.

"Oh well," Xelloss said, shrugging. "Better to tell the truth than lie, right?"

"Riight," Lina said dryly, rolling her eyes. She eyed everyone at the dance floor. Gourry and Sylphiel danced to every single song, and Lina could see that Gourry's getting kind of exasperate to eat now… Well, should have thought of that before you go with her, Gourry, thought Lina angrily.

Xelloss, sensing a negative energy from Lina, stared at her.

Meanwhile, Zangulus and Martina are blissfully in a lip lock while dancing around to a slow tune even though the DJ is putting on a pop song. Of course, nothing really stops their making out session. Zelgadis look a little bored, but was still a sport by dancing with Amelia and following her every step. Naga and her blond date were…um, stumbling with the dancing. Naga could dance well, but it's clear that her date is…um, distracted by her bust, which kept bobbing up and down every time Naga dances to Madonna's "Hey, Mr. DJ".

"Lina-san, are you bored?"

Lina turned to Xelloss and smiles. "Not really. I'm just…watching." She turned back to watching the crowd and gasped. "Is that who I think it is? Oh no! Quick, Xelloss, stays in front of me and guards me from them recognizing me—"

Too late. Before Xelloss could block Lina, Hellmaster Phibrizzo and Maryo-u Gaav is already making their way to where Lina's standing.

"Oh, hel-lo!" Xelloss said cheerfully. "I didn't really expect to see you here! Aren't mazokus restricted here?"

Gaav snickered. "Well, you seem to be able to get in."

"Oh, they believe I'm a student," Xelloss said, shrugging.

"You, a freaking High School student?" Phibrizzo laughed. "I don't think anyone will believe that, Xelloss."

"Riight," Lina said, slitting her eyes at Phibrizzo. "Talk about convincing, huh?"

"Well, I see Lina sees what I'm talking about!" Phibrizzo said airily.

"So how do you…come back to life?" Lina asked uncertainly.

"Oh, no details, really," Phibrizzo said, waving the question around. "Lord of Nightmares thought I'd be better off with this kind of punishment. To tell you the truth, it's working. But hey, I'm a senior! This crap will be over! But I still have to go to a freaking university…" He sighs. "Life can't get worse for a bad ass Mazoku like me, can it?"

"So, Gaav!" Xelloss said, turning to Gaav. "How'd you get in? I think you have a harder time convincing you're a…high school guy."

"Alas, my appearance deceives me." Gaav snorts. "You could ask why that guy who wouldn't let me in lets me in finally. I turned him into fried human. Too bad I don't really have any appetite right now."

Sweatdrop. "Right!" Lina said. "I'm sure it's a sweet reunion and all! But I—with Xelloss—have to get going now! Shouldn't we?"

"Xelloss!" Phibrizzo said, laughing. "Don't tell me you're dating this…human!"

"Oh, we're not dating!" Lina said, turning red with embarrassment. "He's just—"

"Iya!" Xelloss said, scratching the back of his head. "Lina-san's not really a mere or bad human when you got close to her." He opened one eye and wink. "In fact, she's rather attractive for a flat-chested woman!"

*Twitch, twitch* "Why, you…" Lina grumbled. If he doesn't stop talking, he'll have something real to scratch at the back of his head… "Shut up, Xelloss!"

Phibrizzo leaned in conspiratorially. "Well, I could kinda see your point," he whispered, but Lina could still hear him. "I kind of get a rise when a girl gets angry, eh?" He winked, threw back his head and laughed. "Come on, Gaav! We need some serious socializing to do!"

With that, Gaav and Phibrizzo walked away. "Phew." Xelloss smiles, turning to Lina. "Wasn't that fun?

Lina's veins popped at her clenched fist. *Pop, pop, pop* "You…you namagomi…you fruitcake…" she muttered under her breath.

"Now, now, Lina!" Xelloss said, still laughing. "You don't want me to feed on your negative feelings now, do you?!"

Lina stopped abruptly. "Fine," she said huffily. "Let's just go home. This isn't really fun."

"Yare, yare," Xelloss said, shrugging.

As Lina turns, she bumped into someone. *Smack* "Oof!" she mumbled. She picked herself up and looked at the man she bumped into. "Look where you're—gaaahhh!"

Milgasia turned to Lina. "Oh!" he said, smiling to Lina and made a point to glare at Xelloss. "Didn't really expect to see you here, Lina! So where's your other friends?"

"Eh?" Lina said. "What are you doing here?"

"Iya…" Xelloss said, smiling. "What happened? An actor who needs more money than he could earn?"

"Why, you—"

Lina noticed that Milgasia's wearing a chaperon outfit and was holding a cup in his hand and a large spoon in the other hand. "Ooh," Lina said understandably. "So you're a chaperon, huh? Well, good luck! Tough crowd, big guy!"

With that, Lina pulled Xelloss away from the refreshments table, eager to go home.

"Wai! Wai!" Xelloss said, stopping Lina from pulling him. "The crowning is going to start soon! I want to see who's going to get crowned!"

Lina looked at Xelloss in disbelief. "But—but!" Lina sputtered. "You're a Mazoku!"

"Scratch that and have fun for a while, will you?!" Xelloss said, laughing.

Lina frowned. "What a Mazoku." Well, it doesn't really matter to Lina. The crowning is about to start, so she might as well just stay here to see who's going to be the Prom King and Prom Queen. Hopefully it's someone she didn't know so she can just go home instead of "celebrating" the winners. Xelloss' idea isn't fun at all. She'll have to "repay" Xelloss back after this…

***

"The crowning is about the start!" Amelia squealed, jumping up and down in her dress. (Which looks pretty weird… Zelgadis happens to peek and blushed.)

"I wonder who gets it?" Sylphiel said.

"It's a bit mysterious, since we have to go to a booth to vote – I didn't really bother since it's so much hassle," Filia said, tiptoeing to see who's going to announce it. "I wonder who got nominated."

"Oh, come on, get it over with," Lina said impatiently, tapping her foot.

Every girl in the ballroom frowned at her. "Ehehe, did I say that?" she said, showing her fangs. "Buzz off or I'll Fireball all of you! No, I'm not kidding, Xelloss. Yes, I will even Dragon Slave you Gaav. Even if I have to use Giga Slave, Phibrizzo." At that, Phibrizzo grinned. "Oh, wipe that grin off, kid."

Xelloss snorts. "Have too much drink, Lina?"

"Don't push her, Xelloss-san," Amelia said, sighing. "You shouldn't have come if you don't want to, Lina-san."

"Ooh, let's just say we'll be missing one member of the gang after tonight," Lina said, leering at Xelloss, who have sweatdrop galore. "Oh, they're starting…"

"And now, ladies and gentlemen!" a man who looked old said. "This is the moment you've all waited for so long! The crowning of the Prom King and Queen! We will, of course, start with the Prom King!" The man stopped abruptly, stepped off the stage, and coughed. Then he came back on stage. "Anyway."

Facefaults.

"The Prom King this year is—"

Drumrolls.

"Phibrizzo!"

"Nanii?!" shouted the outraged Slayers gang. Xelloss clapped. "He hasn't lost his touch…" muttered Xelloss.

"What touch?!" they all screamed together, except, of course, Xelloss.

Phibrizzo stepped on the stage, wearing a grin, smirking at the Slayers and Gaav, who looked extremely pissed. "Oh, just you wait! I'll kill you all for not voting me! ME!"

Lina fought the urge to laugh, but failed miserably. Scowl, scowl.

"Anyway!" the old man continued. "The Prom Queen for this year is—"

Everyone looked around expectantly. Drumroll. Feet began sweating—an uneasy odor feels the gym, which had been turned into a ballroom. "Anybody has any deodorant?" a squeaky voice asked, only to be sneered at. "But it's not me! It's my girlfri—yowch!" The man has been mercilessly clobbered.

"—Filia ul Copt!"

"NANII?" the entire Slayers gang shouted.

"Oya, Filia-san!" Xelloss said, putting on his smile. "Congratulations!"

"WHO THE [tut] NOMINATED ME?!"

"Iya, Filia-san!" Xelloss said, grinning. "I forgot to tell you that I nominated you that day when I disappeared during lunch… hopefully you don't mind, do you?"

*Tail went upright* *Twitch, twitch* "XEL-LLLLLOOOOOSSSSSUUUU!" she screamed. She pulled out her mace-sama and swung it at Xelloss. "Die! Namagomi! Die! Shimatta! Die! You piece of crap! You piece of NAAAAMMAAAGOOOMIII!!!"

The next scene is cut off so that kids won't get any idea from me. ~.^ However, we can all imagine how Xelloss is going to be clobbered by our dearest mace-sama and her owner, Filia Ul Copt. Continuing…

Filia had to be held back by Valgarv and then ushered to the stage to Phibrizzo, who's grinning. "Heyyyy," Phibrizzo said, grinning. "Looking good."

Filia's tail went upright again, and her leg that's tied to her tail went upright with it, revealing…um…things. The boys behind her got nosebleeds and fainted. "DIE!" Valgarv shouted as he fireballed the guys. "That's for peeking under my Filia's—aahhh" for Valgarv had seen why the boys got nosebleed by looking under Filia's skirt.

"You're…you're a mazoku…" Filia said.

"Why, yes, I am!" Phibrizzo said, grinning. "You should be lucky to be dancing and making out with one of the most powerful Dark Lords!—other than Shabranigdo, of course…"

"Aaah!" Filia shouted. Once again, mace-sama came into view and she swung it violently and it hits Valgarv—who's still entranced by Filia's skirt—and everyone who's near to her. "Masaka!!!"

Phibrizzo grinned. "Ooh, how sweet… Is that the way you show your affection?" He winked. "I like that!" He kissed Filia by the cheek and mace- sama hits his face.

"NAMAGOMI MAZOKU!!!"

***

By 12 o' clock at midnight, the crowd has dispersed. The Slayers gang rode into Amelia's van. "Ano, gomen about what happened," Filia said, going red with embarrassment.

"Gomen my ass!" Lina shouted in the van while Zelgadis' driving. "How could you transform in the gym?!" she shouted incredulously. "What kind of Ryuzoku no Miko are you?!?!"

"Gomen, Lina-san, but—"

"Iya, Lina-san!" Xelloss piped in. "Remember that she's no longer a Ryuzoku no Miko, ne?"

"Xel—Xelloss, you fruitcake, shut up!" Filia said, veins popping.

"The dance was so good!" Amelia said.

"Hai, Amelia-san!" Sylphiel said enthusiastically. "It was so dreamy…" Both girls sigh.

Zelgadis turned to Gourry, who's sitting next to him. [Stop grinning, yaoi lovers, I don't mean it in that way!] "So did you like that dance?" he said, grinning. "I thought it was so good! Do you think it was a cure? Because I can feel my skin getting smoother. What do you think?"

"Iie, Zel!" Gourry said, touching Zel's cheek. "It is smoother! What kind of exfoliate did you use?!"

"Oh, Clarins has the best exfoliator ever!" Valgarv piped up from behind. "I tried it. Here, touch my face! Isn't it smooth?"

"Oh, when it comes to shampoo, that's my specialty!" Gourry said. "Look at my hair! Yeah, I did use Pantene! How did you know?" He looked at Zelgadis at amazement. "Oh, you tried to use it? Didn't work on you, huh? But my hair's silky smooth! Ssh! Don't say it out loud! Lina's been trying to get that secret out of me! I won't give it to her!"

Martina and Zangulus sit at the very back, making out, as usual. Naga and her blonde date's at the back too, making out.

Lina sighed, sweatdrop at her head. "My friends are idiots, I didn't know it," she muttered.

Xelloss grinned. "Iya!" he said, being his usual cheerful self. "Didn't I say it was going to be a good night?!"

Lina growled. "Who said it was good?"

Xelloss smiles. "Iie, if it makes you feel better," he said, hesitating, then kisses Lina on the lips, a quick peck. "Now, isn't that better?"

The van came to a sudden halt. Amelia, Sylphiel, Martina, Naga, and Filia gaped at Xelloss. Zelgadis stopped driving, Gourry looked pale, Valgarv smirked, Zangulus said "finally!", the blonde guy looked puzzled and Xelloss was…being himself.

"Xel—Xellos!!!" cried a distrangled, red Lina. "What did you do that for?!"

"Iya, Lina, have anyone told you that that dress looks great on you, especially when you looked embarrassed?" Xelloss said jovially, scratching his back.

"DRAGON SLAVE!"

"HIKARI-YO!"

"DRAGON SLAVE!"

"HIKARI-YO!"

"DRAGON SLAVE!"

***

"Iie, Lina-san!" Xelloss said. "You're so mean! Not that I mind, do it again next time."

"Nanii?!" Lina bellowed. "I heard that, Xelloss, you perverted Mazoku!"

"Miss Inverse! Please, pay attention!" Mrs. Merrit said, glaring at Lina. Lina scowled back. "Now, I know yesterday was The Big Night for almost all of you, and school's almost over, thank God, so I hope you'll pay attention to what I'm teaching to you instead of dozing off. Now that taken care of, turn to page 612 in your Geometry textbook."

"All right, Mrs. Merrit!" the whole class shouted. (As in the students) In the middle of the student, someone muttered something. "Bitch."

"This teacher—I hate her so much," Lina muttered to Filia.

"Tell me about it," Filia said, sniffing. "I love doing crosstitch! Why should she prohibited it from this class?!"

"Probably because you poked someone with it," Xelloss said, pointing to a guy who has stitches in one of his fingers.

Filia sniffed. "Who cares about Merrit anyway?"

"I do!" hissed Gourry. "Do you mind?"

Lina snorts. "Whatever, Gourry."

"Miss Lina!" Mrs. Merrit called. "What's the Quadratic formula, quick!"

"Uh, uh…"

Gourry's hand shot up instantly, waving around it almost knocks Sylphiel and a girl, who sat next to him, off their chairs and tables. "Ooh, ooh!" he said.

"Yes, Miss Lina?" Merrit leered at Lina unpleasantly.

"Um…" Lina sputtered, looking exasperatedly at someone to help her.

"Ooh, ooh!" Gourry said.

"Hmm, not studying?" Merrit said, grinning. "Yes, Gourry, what's the answer?"

Gourry looked at Merrit in surprise. "I need to go to the bathroom."

Facefaults from everyone now, altogether!

"Oh, never mind…" Mrs. Merrit said as Gourry went out of the classroom and headed to the bathroom. "Moving on…" she sighed.

Lina laughed. "One point to Gourry for annoying Merrit!" she whispered among them. The others quickly agreed. After Xelloss' "accident" last night, no one really wants to get on Lina's bad side. Of course, it has always been that way.

By the time 8th period arrived, Mrs. Fraser clearly has some exciting news. "Ooh! This is just so fantastic!" she squealed. Lina sweatdropped. "Today this announcement just came in! I'm to give you this paper and you will return it to me by tomorrow, okay?" Fraser began to hand the papers to the students.

Lina stared at hers. "'My Favorite Blind Date'?" she cried incredulously.

"Oops!" Mrs. Fraser said, laughing. "Sorry, Lina, I gave you the wrong one! Here's the correct copy!"

Lina sighed in relief. She read the real announcement. "A field trip to Okemo Mountain on 16th of July, huh? That sounds good. What about you guys? Are you guys going?"

"Iie, Lina-san!" Amelia said, grinning. "What a great idea to participate in school's activities!"

Lina snickered. "Do you really think I'm going because of that?"

"Nanii?" Naga said, looking at Lina. She knew all too well what the maniac glance Lina was throwing to everyone meant. "You don't mean…"

"Ooh yes, Naga!" Lina said, laughing. "We're going to make our getaway from this school with this fieldtrip! You see, we all go together, and then when it's time for us to go home, we pretend to 'get lost' in the mountains! It's so simple it could never go wrong!"

"Iie, Lina-san, I like that idea!" Xelloss said, smiling.

Lina glared at Xelloss. "I hope you're not thinking about 'secluded spots in the mountain', because I'm not supporting that," said Lina, still remembering yesterday's "kiss".

"Ooh, Lina, such a spoilsport!" Xelloss snickered.

"Hikari-yo!" Gourry shouted, aiming the sword at Xelloss.

"No need to get violent now…" Xelloss said, snickering and teleporting out of Gourry's aim. "So are we seriously going?"

"I say we go for it," Zelgadis said, shrugging. "There's not much left in school, anyway. It's becoming a drag."

"Then we should definitely invite Val, too!" Filia said indignantly.

"Of course, whatever," Lina said. "This is just an escapade. Anyone who wants to escape could go." Lina began to think. "Yeah, this trip should really do it! Okay then, it's settled. Amelia, you're going to pay for the trip for all of us."

"Eh?!" Amelia said, her eyes wide.

"Zelgadis, you're going to bring sleeping bags."

"Oy, chotto matte!"

"Sylphiel, Filia you take care of food."

"H-hai!"

"Are you sure you don't want me to cook, Lina-san?" Xelloss said, grinning.

"No, we don't want to die. Gourry and Valgarv will stay on guard. L-sama knows what's on that mountain!"

"Fine with me," Gourry said, shrugging.

"Martina and Zangulus, you make sure to gross everyone out when we make our escapade so they won't follow us by making out."

"That should be easy," Naga said, snickering.

"Naga, you open your top to help them."

"Aaahh!!!"

"Lina-san, that's not a way for a Seyruun princess to act!" Amelia said, aghast.

"Do I care?" Lina growled. "Read my lips. I don't care! If anything goes wrong that day, I'll make sure to pulverize them… oh they'll be sorry they came in Lina Inverse's way!"

"Um, Lina-san…" Xelloss said hesitantly.

"What, Xelloss?" Lina said, turning to him.

"What am I going to do?" Xelloss asked, looking hopeful.

"You…um…" Lina was lost at words. "Oh, I guess you could lead the escapade with me."

"Ah!" Xelloss said in satisfaction. "Just what I expected! You can't wait, can you, Lina-san?"

"Hikari-yo!"



***Japanese Translations***

Well, so I entered it again…aren't I the nicest girl?

Namagomi – raw garbage (I don't think anyone don't know this…)

Shimatta – damn

Masaka – impossible

Gomen – sorry

Hikari-you – of course, it's when Gourry asked for his Sword of Light to activate

Chotto matte – wait a minute

Is this the end of the "Slayers: Trapped In School?" you asked? I don't know. Take your picks! I mean, if the Slayers got trapped in a mountain instead, it's not really trapped in school again, is it? Thanks for reading, loyal fans! I'm sure that if this is the end, I'm doing a sequel. (Of course, I didn't say this is the end…) ;\ Damn, will this girl tell us? Sore wa himitsu desu!
