SLAYERS
DIARIES

Hello! It's me, Mystera, with a whole new series to the Slayers Freetime saga!
This series is titled 'The Diaries', for what reason, you will find out! This is sorta, weird.. (aren't all of my fics??!!) and I have a couple of chapters to put up for this, each chapter being about one person's diary/ travel book being confiscated by another character, whom we can all guess. Well, on with the disclaimer and such..

Disclaimer: I don't own anything that relates to any Slayers characters, no da. I have been reading Fushigi Yugi fanfics, no da. Chichiri rocks, no da.

3/16/01

Today was another lame excuse for a quest
for my cure. We ended up in some temple
that gave out free eclair samples. Well, I
guess to Gourry, It sounded the same, but
for me, it just wasn't enough. I know, journal,
that you're sick and tired of my complaining.
But I need to be free of this rock shell, and let
them see my real emotions. And that Xelloss,
I just hate him. Why does he ALWAYS interfere?
He probably gives us fake leads to entertain himself.
I can't wait till he's gone. Well, that's it for tonight,
I guess. I gotta finish being morbid and depressed
before going to bed. G'night.
Zel


Zel finished recording his day, and went out to meet the others for dinner. They were all around a camp fire, laughing and eating. ~Having a perfectly nice time without me, I see.~ he thought.

He sat on the log next to Lina, who greeted him with a smile as he looked at her.


"Hey, Zel. Took ya long enough! I just finished brewing you some coffee." She greeted him kindly.

"Coffee??" Xelloss questioned.


"Not for you, fruitcake. We all know what happens when you have coffee." Lina warned as she glared at him.

"No fair..Oh well." surrendered Xelloss with a pout on his face.

"Thanks, Lina." said Zel, as Lina handed him the coffee.

"Ah, don't mention it." Lina replied sweetly.


Next to Gourry, you could see a green-faced monster, Amelia, glaring at the two. She obviously was jealous of the two of them being nice to each other. Meanwhile, Gourry was happily eating his food, off in his own Gourry-land. And all alone, sitting on the floor, was our happy little mazoku, feeding off of Amelia's emotions like a midnight snack.

"Ahhh...," said Gourry as he relaxed, "So...Today was just another normal day, I guess."

"Yeah, that's right." muttered Zel.

~Normal for him, even more depressing for me.~


Zel looked up from the fire, and looked at Lina. She was staring into the flames, with a serene smile on her face. The flames' shadows danced across her face and hair, and they danced in her eyes. She looked like a goddess. Lina's trance was broken, and she looked at Zel, who caught himself staring at her.

"Something wrong?" She asked.

"N-nothing." Zel said quickly, as he turned away.


Xelloss noticed what Zelgadis was looking at, and found the right tune to hum.

He started humming, " I'm your Venus, I'm your fire, Your desire."

Zel blushed and looked angry, as the mazoku smiled serenely as if he was innocent of everything. Only Zel knew what the song meant.

Zelgadis arose from the log bench he sat upon.

"Well. See you all tomorrow morning. G'night."

"Goodnight, Mr. Zelgadis!" called Amelia.

" See ya, Zel." said Lina.

Zel paused before entering his tent.

"Oh, thanks for the coffee, Lina."

"No problem! G'night."

Gourry was asleep on the log by then, and Xelloss disappeared to L-sama-knows-where.
Lina went back to staring into the flames, as Amelia stormed off into her tent.

When Zelgadis entered the tent, he went straight for his journal.
He plopped down on his sleeping bag, and started writing.

Hey Journal,
Same day, Only a few minutes later:
Okay. Not to make a big deal of this or anything...but
Lina just made me coffee. I know it may sound a bit
obsessive to write that down, but consider this:
Since when does Lina spend her time doing something
nice for somebody else? Do you think it's possible that..
She might have feelings for me? Plus, she was acting very
contented...Which was odd. She looked so beautiful and
serene as the flames danced in her eyes from the campfire.
I must go now. Sleep is calling my name, and I have, as
usual , a big day ahead of me.
G'night.

He set down his journal, got changed, and got into his sleeping bag.

~Sweet dreams, Lina.~

He quietly blew out the candle in his lantern, and went to sleep.

~*~a half-an-hour later...~*~

~Hmmmmm...~

Xelloss appeared in Zelgadis's tent, and he seemed to be on the search for something.

~Aha! Here it is.~

He picked up Zel's journal, and stuck it in his cape. He smiled sheepishly as he gazed upon the chimera.

"This will be fun!" said Xelloss.

"A whole book of blackmail, always equals a whole bunch of fun......."
