Chapter Two - Kai's Shoujo Finally Appears!

Noriko and Kai were noisily woken the next morning by Lina, accompanied by Gourry Gabriev.

"Get up!" Lina shouted.

"Yeah, you guys sleep like rocks!" Gourry added.

Kai was none too happy to be so roughly awakened. "Yeah, well at least my head's not filled with 'em," he muttered.

Noriko got up and yawned. "Where are the others?"

Lina narrowed her eyes. "How...how do you know about the others?"

"You're very famous people, Lina," Noriko reminded her. "You DID, after all, kill Hellmaster Phibrizzo, and destroy one of the pieces of Shabranigdo..."

"Good point."

"Hey, Lina, Gourry, are those kids up yet?"

Noriko sat up very fast. "Kid?!"

"Hey! It's Zel!" Kai whispered.

"No, da!" Noriko snapped. She stood up. "Who ya callin' kid?"

Zelgadis Greywords turned to look at her. Noriko wondered what all those Zelkaholics out there actually saw in him...

"You, obviously."

Noriko clenched her fists. "I'm not a kid, ya freak," she growled. "I'M FIFTEEN!"

Zel gave her a look. "YOU'RE fifteen?"

"DAMN STRAIGHT I AM!"

"Hey, hey, HEY!" Lina shouted. "Everyone just SHUT UP!" Noriko and Zel fell silent at her command, and then Lina turned to the chimera. "Where's Amelia?"

Kai's eyes had stars in them. Noriko sweatdropped.

"She's back there." Zel pointed. "Should I go get her?"

Lina nodded. "We'll go with you. We should probably get going..."

"We--we're going to see AMELIA?!" Kai jumped up. "THE Amelia? Princess Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun?!"

Lina looked at him like he had two heads or something. "Umm...yeah."

"Don't worry about him," Noriko assured. "He's just a little overexcited. He...erm...yeah."

"Come on," Zel urged us. "Amelia's waiting."

So Zel led them through the woods to another clearing, where her Royal Highness Princess Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun stood waiting.

As it is with the Bish Hunters, Kai was ultimately obliged to glomp his bishoujo. Noriko grabbed him by the shirt collar.

"Calm down, Ototo-chan," she told him. She grinned. "Hello..."

Amelia blinked. "Umm...Miss Lina, Mister Zelgadis, who are they?"

"They're the kids--I mean, PEOPLE--we found," Zel said quickly as Noriko gave him a deathglare.

"This is Kai, and this is his older sister Noriko," Lina added, gesturing to the two siblings in turn.

"Hello, Miss Noriko and Mister Kai!" Amelia said brightly. "I'm Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun, the defender of justice!"

"I know," Kai said fervently. "I admire your work, Amelia..."

Noriko cleared her throat loudly. "Can we get going?" she demanded. "I wanna know what this is all about!"

"Ditto," Lina agreed. "Xellos said that some kids from another world were supposed to show up, and that we've got to go to the Outer World and get Filia." She paused. "He said four kids, though."

Noriko sweatdropped. "Four kids?"

Lina nodded. "He said that you were called the hunters or something."

Noriko shook her head. "Actually, we're called the Bish Hunters." Lina cocked an eyebrow. "Don't ask."

"Okay," Lina said. "Do you have any idea of who these other kids might be?"

A horrifying thought came to Noriko, but she quickly discarded it. "Nope," she lied. "No idea whatsoever."

Lina sighed. "Oh, well...I guess we'll just have to wait."

"We'd better get going," Zel suggested. "Xellos said it was pretty urgent--but then again, this could be some sick little mind game of his."

"If it is, I'mana pound him into the ground," Noriko growled.

"I'm with you there," Lina agreed.

"Come on!" Amelia cried out dramatically. "We've got to find Miss Filia!"

~~

So the gang, with their two newly acquired companions, set out and traveled until late that night. They stopped at an inn in a nearby town that night.

"Umm...Noriko-chan..." Kai started as the two siblings got ready for bed.

"Hai?"

"Are those two other kids who I think they are?"

"I sure hope not."

"Me too," Kai agreed. "If they WERE, they'd wreak havoc..."

Noriko got under the covers and blew out the candle that was their source of light. "G'night, Kai-kun."

"Good night, Noriko-chan."
