At an inn at a town about five miles down the road from where I left off in the last chapter Lina is in the process of questioning the innkeeper if he had seen Zel or Amelia. Filia was drinking tea, Gourry was eating. Lina was dragging along Xelloss…
Lina: *comes to the table where Gourry is eating and joins him*
Gourry: So, did the innkeeper know anything?
Lina: Yea, he said Zel was through a long time ago; he headed off towards the mountains after he had a cup of tea.
Filia: So. What are we going to do Miss Lina?
Lina: We don't have many choices, we either stay here tonight, or we continue…
Gourry: We can't just leave, we just got here!
Lina: HEY! MR. INNKEEPER! ARE THERE ANY TOWNS NEARBY AFTER THIS?
Innkeeper: Not within a five mile radius.
Lina: You heard him. I guess we stay here tonight, and continue tomorrow.
Filia: Ummm, Miss Lina, what are you going to do with Xelloss?
Lina: I don't know. Xelloss, how do you get this thing off?
Xelloss: Same way Filia's going to get hers off.
Lina: Fine. I think you're an annoying manipulative little pest.
Nothing happens…
Xelloss: You have to tell everything.
Lina: Everything? Isn't there any other ways to get this stupid thing off?
Xelloss: Nope.
Gourry: So, what are you going to do tonight?
Lina: Can't you just teleport out of it?
Xelloss: Yes, but why would I want to do that?
Lina: *Puppy dog eyes, snuggles close to him* Please?
Filia: Miss Lina! Gourry, what's going on? I've never seen Lina act like this!
Gourry: She does this whenever she wants something, or wants to get out of something.
So, yes, Lina is totally in character!
Filia: Oh…
Xelloss: Oh, come on. You don't think you can make me do something just by acting cute… do you?
Lina: It's worth a shot.
Xelloss: *laughs*
Lina: *performs an encore of the dreaded puppy dog eyes routine* Please?
This goes on for about an hour…
Lina: Fine! *she pays the innkeeper for one room, then drags him up to it*
Gourry: Lina?
Filia: Miss Lina?
In the room…
Lina: I think you're handsome. *blushes*
Xelloss: Really?
Lina: Why wont they come off? I told you everything!
Xelloss: Everything?
Lina: *blush* Well, it's close enough!
Xelloss: Now, now Lina-chan…
Lina: *blushes deeper* Fine! I think you're hot!
Xelloss: *evil grin gets wider, he opens his eyes*
Lina: And I find it damn sexy when you do that.
Xelloss: Do what? *mock innocence in his voice*
Lina: Open those eyes of yours. Why? Why wont they come off?
Xelloss: *laughs* Because that's not how you get them off.
Lina: It's not? But I thought…
Xelloss: Look… *he show her the normal way to get them off*
Lina: XELLOSS! HOW DARE YOU! I'M GONNA KILL YOU! FIREBALL! COME BACK HERE AND TAKE YOUR BEATING! DAMN YOU!
Gourry and Filia both sweat drop.
Gourry: I'm going to go see what's going on… *he heads up the stairs and is about to knock on Lina's door…*
Lina: FIREBALL!!!!
When the door is blown off its hinges right into him.
Gourry: Itai!!!!
Lina: COMEBACKHEREXELLOSS! IT'SNOFAIRDISSAPPEARING! GETYOURNICEASSOVERHERERIGHTNOW!!!!!
Xelloss: You didn't tell me that Lina… What else are you hiding from me?
Lina: *pauses for a second* DAMN IT!!!! Did I really say that aloud?
Filia: Oh, this tea tastes so nice…
Xelloss: Yes you did my Lina-chan.
Lina: I am NOT YOUR LINA-CHAN! FIREBALL!
Xelloss: *dodges it* Now, now Lina-chan. Calm down.
Lina: Darkness beyond twilight,
Crimsonfrombloodthatflowsburiedinthestreemoftimeiswhereyourpowergrows. LETTHEFOOLSWHOSTANDBEFOREMEBEDESTROYEDBYTHEPOWERTHATYOUANDIPOSESS! DRAGONSLAVE!!!!!
Lina chanted the spell so fast Xelloss didn't have time to react. Anyone for hot and crispy burnt Xelloss?
Xelloss: Owwwww! Lina-chan… that was mean!
Lina: Shut up! It's only what you deserved.
Gourry: Lina, did you really have to Dragon Slave him?
Lina: Yes I did Gourry.
Filia: What'd he do to you anyway?
Lina: We just talked, and he tricked me into saying stuff I didn't want to say.
Xelloss: I enjoyed it. I even got a tape!
Lina's taped voice: And I find it damn sexy when you do that.
Lina: *blushes* XELLOSS…
Xelloss: ^_^;;;; Got to go… bye! *leaves*
Lina: XELLOSS! GETBACKHERE! GETBACKHEREANDTAKEYOURBEATING! HOWDAREYOUDOTHAT! GIVEMETHATTAPEYOUSADISTICFRUITCAKE!
Gourry: Ummm, Lina?
Filia: Miss Lina?
Lina: *blush* Well, you see…
Xelloss: *appears* Lina and I were going to have kinky s…
Lina: DRAGON SLAVE!
Xelloss: Owwwww…
Lina: What were you saying?
Xelloss: Nothing…
Lina: That's what I thought.
Filia: You get him Miss Lina! *Waves little flag that says 'go Lina!'*
Gourry: So, why did you say that Lina?
Lina: He tricked me into thinking that to get the stupid finger trap off I had to tell him exactly how I feel about him…
Filia: So, that's true?
Lina: ^_^;;;;; Well…
Xelloss: I'm going to make copies of this…
Lina's taped voice: Fine! I think you're hot!
Lina: GIVE ME THAT TAPE!
Xelloss: No way!
Lina: DRAGON SLAVE!
Nothing happens…
Lina: Damn it! Fine Xelloss. You win this round. But after I eat you're going down! Filia! Where's the nearest town?
Filia: About six miles in the direction we just came from.
Lina: Ok, where's the nearest town in the direction that we're heading in?
Filia: About ten miles from here.
Gourry: TEN MILES?
Lina: Fine. Filia turn into a dragon.
Filia: No way! Not with him around!
Xelloss: And, I'm not leaving.
Lina: Fine then. Xelloss, teleport us there.
Xelloss: W-W-What?
Lina: *Fangs come out* Xelloss, do it or else.
Xelloss: Or else what?
Lina: Or else the next time I see you I'll use Ragna Blade instead of Dragon Slave.
Xelloss: Ok, I'll do it, but I'm only teleporting you Lina.
Lina: Fine. Gourry you can ride Filia into town.
Filia: What?
Lina: Just do it!
Xelloss: *picks up Lina* Hold on tight now.
Lina: *wraps her arms around his neck* Ready!
Xelloss: Here goes…
If you think Lina was out of character, think of this: she's hungry and tired and can't use her magick right now. Ok, in the town…
Lina: *hops out of Xelloss's arms* Ok, where's that inn?
Xelloss: I think it's over there.
Lina: Yea! Food! *grabs Xelloss by the wrist and drags him to the inn/restaurant*
Waitress: Can I take your order?
Lina: I'll have everything, triple portions.
Waitress: Sis?
Lina: Luna? *hair goes all spiky* Uhhhh, nevermindcanclethat. Lets go Xelloss.
She takes him by the wrist and runs at a very fast pace to the next town that was five miles away. Meanwhile…
Gourry: C'mon Filia! It's not like I haven't seen it before…
Filia: *takes out her mace and whacks him to the next town*
Back with the other two…
Lina: *all out of breath from dragging Xelloss for five miles* I cant believe it… That was nee-san…
Xelloss: She seemed nice enough.
Luna: Lina? Lina?
Lina: Hurry, in here. *Pulls him by the wrist into a crowded inn*
Xelloss: Lina, if you wouldn't mind pulling me by the other wrist for a while…
Innkeeper: Can I help you?
Lina: Ummm, yea. Two rooms please.
Innkeeper: I'm sorry, we only have one left.
Luna: Lina? Is that you?
Lina: We'll take it! *flips gold coins at the innkeeper and drags Xelloss by the wrist into the room*
Xelloss: Is that a slug? *looking at the plants on the table*
Lina: Slug? *Jumps onto his back* Where? Where?
Xelloss: Oh, never mind!
Lina: *Whacks him with a fan* Baca…
A knock on the door…
Luna's voice: Lina? Lina are you in there?
Xelloss: Yea Lina's in…
Lina: *slaps her hand over his mouth*
Lina in a fake British accent: No, no one named Lina here.
Luna: Lina, I know it's you. Let me in.
Lina: Xelloss… *puppy dog eyes* help!
Gourry comes flying in through the window, a mace print across his face…
Luna: *pounds on door* Come on Lina, let me in!
Gourry: Whose that? *opens door*
Luna: *steps in* Hello Lina!
Gourry: Xelloss. I didn't know you had a sister!
Lina: *comes to the table where Gourry is eating and joins him*
Gourry: So, did the innkeeper know anything?
Lina: Yea, he said Zel was through a long time ago; he headed off towards the mountains after he had a cup of tea.
