Wow…it's actually a long chappy!
A.N.
Hey guess what my friend told me the other day?!! She said that she saw a new Slayers tape!! Like one the creator just made!! She says that it looks to be a new series!! Now mind you this it just what she claims!!! This could or could not me true! So don't go claiming that I'm starting rumors or anything! I'm not trying to get into trouble. I was just so excited! To make things even better my other friend said she saw something about it on a couple different websites *sweatdrops* though now she can't find one of them…not that I'm saying your lying Kris!! (huggles Kris* I would never say that!!!) But as my dad says…. if you hear a rumor once it's not true…. if you hear it more than once there's a good chance it is true…. but I don't know if the same rules apply for the Internet! News travels pretty fast around here! Well the main reason for this whole thing was to thank everybody that helped me with the city problem!! Thankies Digi-riven, Lady Evenstar, and Vivi Laney!! Though…. *looks at a card* Lady Evenstar IS the Winner! I took your advice and went to the website…and I came out with a whole travel route for the story! For those of you who don't know the link I'll post it below this chappy because you probably won't read this anyway…there's a lot of traveling to places I've never even heard of! And Digi-riven!! You wouldn't mind if I used the idea for a city that you gave me would you? No? Thanks! Cause I am gonna need one I think…hopefully…. annnnnnnyway~!! On with the story finally!!!
She silently looked at him as she entered the small library. He was just sitting there with piles of books all around him.
"What exactly are you doing Xellos? I didn't know you were the type that liked to read." Filia said quietly as to not scare if by chance he had not noticed her.
"I'm looking for strong things." Xellos said quite simply.
She raised an eyebrow and studied his face to see if he was joking.
"What was that?" She asked.
"I said I'm looking for strong things. I mean in the prophecy it mention the strongest shall become known…well it never specifies the strongest people."
"Yes it does. It says the strongest shall become known and the chosen shall join forces."
"Yes it says that. But that could be talking about two completely different things. It could mean the strongest magic, weapons, race…the strongest anything. That's why I'm just taking a precaution and checking for the strongest of the most likely."
She just sat there stunned. For one that was more information than he had ever given out before. And for two it was amazing how thought out he had this.
"When did you come up with this?" She asked.
"Sore wa himitsu desu!"
She just sweatdropped and gave up. She got up and walked toward the door.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"To take a bath…and don't even think about doing anything perverted."
"Darn." He pouted.
lll^.^lll^_^lll^.^lll^_^lll^.^lll^_^lll
He sat on the couch utterly bored. Here he was. A high-ranking Mazoku. And he was stuck sitting here on a couch. He had long since given up on the books. The strongest spells in the books he all already knew about. He would usually be using this perfect opportunity to be annoying and spying on Filia. But for some reason he just wasn't in the mood.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door as it opened.
" Hello? Anybody home? I come in peace and unarmed!" The shadows said. As soon as it spotted Xellos it smirked a shadowy smirk. "Why hello there! Long time no see aye Xelly?" Luna Inverse said as she stepped into the light.
Xellos just groaned and sunk further into the couch.
" Awww…. Xelly not feeling well?" She patted him on the head. Seeing as she was Zelas's best friend she tended to do the big sisters best friend thing…and completely torment him whenever he was around.
"What are you doing here Luna?" He asked, almost frightened of the answer.
"Why! I'm here to help about the prophecy! Zelas came to see me and mentioned that maybe I wanted to go! So here I am!"
Just the answer he was afraid of.
"Miss Luna?" Someone in the doorway asked.
"Eh?" Luna looked to the doorway, only to gain another smile on her face. " Filia! How have you been?"
"Umm…good. But why are you here?" She asked meekly.
"Well you see…Xelly's Mistress informed me of the prophecy…"
"WhAt!? His Mistress?!"
"Umm, yea. You see I'm good friends with his Mistress…."
"Good friends with a Dark lord?! You're the knight of Cepheid!" She sighed. "What is the world coming to? But right now we have more important things to discuss. Do you have any good ideas?"
"None at all. But lets sit down, have some tea, and we'll discuss while we drink it."
"Hmmm… Okay then. I suppose I could do that. Oh dear! What a rude host I've been! Here let me take your stuff for you I'll put it in the guest room."
Luna handed her, her stuff. Filia immediately set off to try and figure out how she was going to fit everybody in her house, and putting Luna's stuff away.
"You guys go ahead into the kitchen I'll be right in."
"Okay then. Come on Xellos." Luna said as she headed for the kitchen.
Xellos stood up to follow Luna but stopped. He stood there looking at Filia, then picked up two of Luna's bags and carried them up the stairs.
Filia just stared after him wondering what had gotten into him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lina and Gourry looked at the sign at the entrance to the village.
Lina looked at the piece of paper in her hand, then back at the sign, and once again to the unchanging piece of paper.
Boy was Filia lucky. They had been planning to come to Mane for quite a while because it was rumored that they had excellent chicken meals. Anything with chicken in it was supposed to be great.
Lina and Gourry took off toward the small little house that had the right address. This was their first time to Filia's new house since she had moved last year. They had yet to wear it in with a Christmas get together.
As they came to the door they heard laughing and talking.
"Looks like Ameila got here before us aye?" She laughed.
"I don't know Lina. That doesn't sound like Ameila." Gourry said warily.
"Of course it is who else would it be? I'll prove it to you come on, let's go in."
Lina being Lina let herself in without knocking.
"Shouldn't we knock first Lina?"
"They know were coming. Don't worry jellyfish!"
"Okay!" he yelped as she started to slam the door.
" Now come on I'll prove to you that was Amelia." She said as she walked to the door where the noise was coming from. As she opened the door she was scolding Gourry.
"You should trust my sense of hearing Gourry. You know I'm always right!" She said bragging. But as she turned to look at the now silent table she saw her worst nightmare.
Lina screamed and dove behind Gourry.
" STAY AWAY FROM ME!! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING I SWEAR!!" She screamed madly.
Luna just sat there staring at her sister.
Suddenly she burst out laughing.
Gourry, who was trying to calm down Lina, was completely confused as to why this scary lady was laughing at the situation.
"Don't worry Lina. I'm here for the same reason you are. My good friend, Beastmaster, told me about the prophecy and being who I am I decided to come and help you guys out." Luna said, still trying to wipe all of the tears out of her eyes.
Lina just stood behind Gourry untrustingly. But then she slowly came out from behind him.
"You guys wanna go get something to eat?" She asked innocently.
Everybody fell down.
"We haven't eaten since we left the last town…at noon, it's 7:00 now and I'm hungry." She said hotly.
"Fine, fine. I was getting hungry anyway. Are you coming Xellos? Filia?" Luna asked as she stood up from the table.
Xellos just nodded.
"Sure," Filia said.
" Hey Filia," Gourry asked.
"Yes Gourry?"
"Where's little Val?"
" Oh. He's at a friend's house, but thanks. I forgot he was there. He usually so quite when he's home I can't tell the difference."
They continued to talk about the present, past, and future as they walked out of the house to go eat at "Hungry Human" restaurant.
A.N.
So I couldn't come up with a better restaurant name…so sue me…not literally! I don't own slayers! I really really wish I did…then I would make a 4th season for sure and Filia and Xellos would get together! I changed the city name on the 3rd chapter…he's officially going to Mane. And the link to that Map is http://www.inverse.org/e/bkg/world/geo2.shtml
That may not seem right but it is…that will play an important part of the story. And whoever's website that is…if you read this and you want credit for it let me know I'll put it up!
NEXT CHAPTER!
Zelgadis Finally arrives…and why hasn't Ameila been in the story yet? Val finally makes an appearance and Lina and Gourry get to eat! And if I'm feeling up to it! A quiet caring moment between sisters. Time for apologizes and confessions. In: Alone, Stuffed and Confessed.
