Later That Night...

***

Lina's head rested against Gourry's chest as they lay in the bed. She wore green flannel pajamas with stars all over them, and Gourry's were blue with jellyfish printed all over.

"Lina?" Gourry asked, stroking the hair he knew was firey red.

"Hmm?"

Gourry asked, "Do you know where we can find Zelas?"

Lina sat up, and stared at him. "Why do you want to know?"

His blank eyes looked right back at her, and Gourry said, more seriously than she had ever heard him, "I want to get back at her for what she did to us. She can't just get away with that."

Lina smiled, her eyes lighting up, and nodded. "I agree," she said. She leaned her head back against Gourry's chest, and said, "She's staying in a city called Sairaag. It's not far from here. We can be there in two days if we leave at dawn."

Gourry nodded, and said, "Good. We go together."

"She'll pay," Lina said coldly. "She'll learn that she should never have messed with Lina Inverse."

"Inverse?" Gourry asked her, smiling.

Lina nodded. "I figured I needed a better last name than Metallium. What do you think?" she asked, tracing an invisible pattern on Gourry's shirt.

"It sounds just like you," Gourry said.
