Chapter Seven
Author's Note: Honestly I had A LOT of projects due and wasn't able to update. But when I was FF.net was down! Oh well. I'll just have some to update when I can post again.
"So why is your name Zelgadiss?" K-chan pulled at Zel's cotton t-shirt.
"I dunno," Zel looked to K-chan "Probably the same reason my grandfather-" he received a threatening look from K-chan "-well whatever is named Rezo,"
"Rezo, Rezo" K-chan let the name roll over her tongue "Wasn't Rezo the name of that rat in Muppets Tonight?"
Zelgadiss glared at her as though thinking of a counter. He lowered his head in defeat "I think you're right,"
::Author's Note: Actually the rat was called Rizo but they do sound similar o_O::
"Oh well I'll still take mouse boy"
"NO!"
"Fine...I'll just...SAVE XELLOSS!"
Zel was having quiet a hard time restraining Filia. K-chan had climbed the tree to get to Xelloss because the poor violet haired thing was scared to death after Filia had nailed an innocent squirrel with her mace after she claimed it had come too close to him.
"K-chan!" Xelloss sobbed throwing his arms around the brunette.
"There there," K-chan patted him on the back
"NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Filia reached for her mace.
"Eep!" Xelloss hugged K-chan like a teddy bear.
"Can't...breath..." K-chan gasped for air in Xelloss's death grip.
"Watch it!" Zelgadiss lost his grip on Filia.
"Ah!" Xelloss kneeled over K-chan so that she didn't end up with same fate as that of the poor rodent.
K-chan hugged Xelloss's arms which around her shoulders seeing as they were both kneeling and K-chan only being able to see the ground "Thanks,"
"You're welcome but-I'd-um like to get down," Xelloss pulled back some so that they were both sitting up.
"Well you're gonna get there!" Zel had Filia in his grasp again "The tree is falling!"
It did seem as though the tree was falling from the impact of the mace...
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Xelloss and K-chan screamed and were quickly joined by Zel who didn't have time to move.
"Xelloss...d...dear....my....love...are...you...alright?" It took Filia a moment to form words from her position under the tree.
"...no...THERE'S A TREE ON TOP OF ME WHAT DO YOU THINK?!" Xelloss was also under the tree and not amused.
"K-chan are you alright?" Zel had given up on trying to move the giant branch off his chest.
"Ugh," K-chan wasn't visible either.
"Yeah she's alive," said Xelloss's voice "She's um under me though...em..."
"Help," K-chan breathed.
"Xelloss my dear...do you hear noises?" Filia rolled her eyes to the source of the noise.
"Ambulance! Haha!" Zel had never been so happy to see flickering lights in his life.
Lina sat in the bleachers. The gym was full of screaming high schoolers but she didn't care. This was unbelievable! Had she...had he really...was she really? Lina shut and opened her eyes with a short wave of giggling and then all our laughter. How had she really-Lina's thoughts were interrupted by Sylphiel.
"Ms. Lina?" said the low-toned teenager holding out a cell phone.
"What?" Lina looked at the phone in surprise. She didn't own a cellular phone and didn't know any of her friends, at least ones who would call her, to own one.
"It's Mr. Zelgadiss," Sylphiel said pushing the phone closer.
Lina made a face "Tell him I'm trying to watch the game!" it was about ten at night if not later and Lina was supposedly trying to watch the high school football game "Tell him I'll call him back," Sense when did Zel have a cell phone?
Sylphiel blinked but drew the phone to her ear "Mr. Zelgadiss?" She spoke into the cell phone "Yes well she will call you back.-Why? Where are you?-Oh my! Are you alright?!" Lina looked towards the phone in wonder "Oh well that's....wait...are they alright? Ms. Filia needs what?" Sylphiel's tone dropped "Oh well I'll be there as quickly as I can-I-" Sylphiel was cut off by Lina.
"Where is he?"
"Hm? Oh the hospital," Sylphiel went back to the phone "So I'll be-"
"Zel?!" Lina grabbed the cell phone from Sylphiel.
"Ah!" Zel's voice was surprised on the other end.
"Are you alright?!"
"Yeah-uh-er hi Lina. Filia-"
"IS INSANE!" came a voice in the background.
"Who was that?" Lina asked moving down the bleachers and climbing on the cement siding so that she could jump down where there wasn't as much noise.
"Xelloss," Zelgadiss groaned "We were forced to share a room,"
"Who else is there?!"
"K-chan and Filia, I got the phone from her. But they're in another room,"
"What happened?!"
"I'd rather not try to explain," Zel said honestly.
"Well is everyone else alright?"
"Yeah, K-chan's gonna be a little violent when she's mobile again though. Oh and Filia might need bail when she gets out of the hospital,"
"Look-I'll um-" Lina jogged up the stairs to Sylphiel and before Sylphiel had noticed took the keys from her purse.
"Ms. Lina?!"
"Have you called your parents yet,"
"You kind of have no choice. But I'm seriously going to get an 'I told you so' from Rezo,"
"Why?" Lina opened the door to Sylphiel's tiny red spots car "Damn I feel like I'm gonna break this thing," she said under her breath.
"Well one he said that I was most likely going to end up in traction if I hung around K-chan. And he said I wouldn't catch the bus....so..." Zel's voice trailed off angrily.
Lina laughed "He was right,"
"Mm,"
"How did you know I was at the football game?"
"Well I called your parents and they said where at the game with Sylphiel and Gourry and of course she's in Filia's address book so I just called,"
"Yeah well-gotta go I'm here!"
"Huh?" Zel heard Lina hang up.
"Wha'd she say?" Xelloss returned back to his task of trying to reach the remote on the...little...drawer....nightstand type structure....between the two beds "I think they did this on purpose," he said missing the remote with the detachable metal bar on the side of him bed for about the millionth time.
"I think she's here," Zel said reaching for the remote himself. It seemed as though Filia had been the only one of the four not to break any ribs. Unfortunately she was in the next room. What Zel wouldn't give to be able to lean over and get the remote, Pokemon was not his idea of entertainment. All and all noone had bee hurt horribly considering a tree had fallen over on them.. Filia had managed to get out with only stitches, K-chan had of course broken ribs, a broken wrist, and according to her ass. Xelloss had, hence the remote issue, broken ribs, stitches, and a broken jaw. Of course even with the broken jaw he managed to speak! Zel had gotten out about like Xelloss without the broken jaw. They would have let them out had it not been for Filia and K-chan's bizarre brain wave patterns which Zel figured had something to do with the whole love fiasco. So in fear that it was contagious they had kept them all. Zel hoped they would let them out in the morning. At noon Sam had come to see the two and almost immediately the doctors had been left with nothing to find bizarre. Sam had seemed quiet annoyed though...Zel didn't plan to go back to the antique shop for a good bit...
I'll update really soon I promise. A nasty surprise is in store ^-^.
