Lina's deal with death .



"Fireball!" Yelled the super smart, beautiful sorcerous Lina Inverse . Well thats how she'd describe herself anyway. The fire ball hit four bandits and sent the other five flying. "Ha, that will teach you to mess with Lina Inverse." Gourry watched from behind a tree near by to avoid being hit by the hot ball . " Yo Gourry you can come out now" Yelled Lina. Sighing the blond headed swordsman stepped away from the tree. Gourry slowly walked up to her.

"So where are we going?" asked Gourry. Lina took a minute to reply. Lina shrugged. "I don't know." The continued walking along the dusty path. "Um Lina?" . "What?" She asked turning around. " I think were being followed." Gourry's hand instinctively flew to his sword. Lina looked at him. "Yeah I know" She smiled " it doesn't matter I'll just throw another fireball." For some odd reason Gourry's muscles didn't ease up. They resumed walking. A hour later , thinking that the stalkers got restless (or heard about the firball) Lina and Gourry walked to a near by village . Went to a inn , and got two rooms . Lina and Gourry then went to a Restaurant

near . Ate their fill . ( for Lina that's impossible). And went to sleep . Lina got two minutes of sleep . She had a weird feeling in the pit of her stomach . Why was Gourry so tense ? We always encounter bandits . In the next room Gourry stayed awake . He still had the feeling of death . Lina's so overconfident whatever that means .

By morning the two had the worst sleep . Gourry's feeling of death was growing stronger , and Lina's feeling in her stomach slowly evaporated . But reminents hung in the air .

Gourry tried to ignore it, because if he told Lina her reaction to him would be, he's a total wimp.

The continued to walk. Lina still had the feeling she was being watched but her overconfidence demolished her pity and guilt. Lina slowly began to feel that something was about to happen. Just at that moment. Five weird looking bandits jumped from behind the trees and bushes. Lina gave a small laugh. "What do YOU want?" She said with an irritated ring in her voice. " Revenge" The head bandit said. He glared at her but she ignored it. The bandits raised their swords.

" Oh. It's a fight you want " She said not surprised " Then a fight you'll get". Raising her hand above her head she yelled " FLARE ARROW" a golden arrow appeared. The head bandit gave a small smile. Lina shot the arrow toward him.

" SHIELD" He yelled the swords grew a bright yellow. Lines of silver connected them. The a shield barrier appeared. The arrow bounced off and dissolved as soon as it hit the Stoney ground. Lina's face cringed. " How-" Lina knew nothing or anything of a sword that could create such a powerful barrier. Confused she started to use the dragon slave. " Power beyond the taillight" Gourry quickly dashed behind a near rock. "And crimson blood that flows-". The Bandits looked at her. Their face's emotionless. "Buried in the sands of time is where your power glows" . The bandits dug their feet into the groung. "I blege myself to concur all the foes who stand against the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hand " Lina looked up " DRAGON SLAVE !"

Lina a little bushed from putting so much power into the Dragon Slave watched a it neared the bandits . The head bandits smile Grew wider . The dragon slave hit The shield . It bounced off hitting Lina in the chest . Gourry's eyes widened . "LINAAA" The sound of his voice echoed through out the Forest . Lina opened her eyes . She watched Gourry run at the bandits . " hey Gourry" she yelled . He didn't look at her . "Gourry" She ran over to him . " hey why aren't you listening to me" She whined . "um- hey!" she put her hand on his shoulder. Her hand passed through him.

"WHAT?" Lina looked at her hand shocked. what just happened ? Lina looked back up at Gourry , who was fighting off the bandits . Lina noticed a small person lying on the ground ten feet away . She neared in Cautiously . Who is that ? Only a few feet away she knew without even looking at its face she could tell , Its MEEEEEEE ? Lina glared at the limp body . Shocked as she watched Gourry fight . I DIED how the hell is this possible ? I'm Lina Inverse , I'm invisible . Lina went over what had just occured . "okay nothing wrong there , or there ... or there " Lina turned her attention back to Gourry who had some how killed the Bandits with 'THE SWORD OF LIGHT' ( Aaaahhhh , oops ) . Gourry was kneeling over Lina . "geat wheres Amlia When you need her" Gourry muttered . " hey" Lina looked down the path . A small girl was yelling at Gourry . Lina squinted at the being run towards Gourry . 'AMELIA!" Lina was surprised to see that maybe Gourry was phycic . Lina thought for a moment . " Naaahhhhhh" .

"Amelia , I was just thinking about you " Gourry said in his stupid tone . Lina rolled her eyes . " well- I heard sombody yell Lina , and here I am " giggled Amelia . Amelia finally realized why Gourry was sitting on the ground . " oh-h" Amelia looked down at Lina's stomach . The clothing was damp and turnin the red shirt to a dark almost purple colour . Amelia pressed her hand down on the damp area . Recited a simple healing spell . The blood soon evaporated .

Lina felt a small tingle on her stomach . She looked down . Nothing was wrong . "hhhmmmmmm" Lina turned her attention back to Amelia and Gourry . " Well wev'e solved the bleeding problem but .." He paused " She's Is STILL NOT BREATHING " . Aelia looked at Gourry with a puzzeled look . I've never seen him act this way befor . He stood up . " do you have a spell that can bring Lina back to life ?" Amelia nodded slightly . She knelt over Lina , Her hands firmly on her chest . She pictured Lina in her mind , Alive . Recited a few words so low not even Gourry could here her.

Lina felt a smal lump in her chest . Looking down once more she saw herself evaporating . Lina held up her hands The slowly flickerd and dissloved . "WHHHATTT?"
