Author's Note: Slayers not mine, no money from story. Anyways, Thank you everyone who has been reviewing! You keep me going. I think that the story gets better as you go along, or is that just me? Anyways, this chapter has some suggested sexual stuff, but nothing is detailed, or even described really. I decided that it would be better that way cause you'll see. So, I just wanted to say that in case anyone got offended (why would they get offended? I have no idea. But better safe than sorry) Anyways, enjoy!
"Where the hell did she go?" Gourry asked for the millionth time. Zelgadis just sighed and kept walking. They had searched the town and surrounding woods twice already, asking people if they'd seen Lina. They knew where Lina's usual places were, and she wasn't in any of them. They had visited every place in town that sold food, just in case, which now that she was a Mazoku she probably hated Xellos for the fact that she didn't have to eat anymore. Zelgadis grinned at the thought of what Lina might be doing to Xellos at that moment. (a/n: Zel, SHHH! No more forshadowing for you!) So now they were checking inns again. Gourry was tired of walking around the same old town. He took out his frustrations by irritating Zel with questions he couldn't answer. He had been surprised when he'd discovered that Zelgadis had a wide vocabulary of profanity, and didn't mind using it when provoked, which Gourry did at every opportunity. "Keeps me busy at least!" Gourry thought with a smirk.
Zelgadis and Gourry entered the last inn, and upon finding that Lina still hadn't been there, they each got a room. Gourry was hungry, and it was almost dinner time, so they decided to grab something to eat downstairs. Gourry ordered his usual triple portions and ate with his unabashed gusto while Zelgadis had a regular plate of food.
"I'm afraid that it's time to conclude that Xellos has Lina," Zelgadis said quietly. Gourry lifted an eyebrow in question but continued eating. "Simply because we know Lina. She would have already come after us demanding answers in between Dragon Slaves and Fireballs," continued Zel. Gourry nodded in agreement and took a huge bite out of his chicken. "So, judging from what we know of Xellos, either Lina has killed him or Xellos has killed her," Zel smirked before continuing. "If she's dead, then mission accomplished. But if not, she'll remember and come after us next. Maybe we'll get lucky and she'll come back even when she still hasn't remembered," Zel's smirk was replaced with an evil smile. Gourry's eyes contained a wicked gleam. He had finished eating and polished off his drink.
"Zel, Xellos wouldn't have killed Lina. He's her personal bodyguard, remember? He'd have died first. So I think he's either dead, or we'll have to face him along with Lina," Gourry said calmly. Inside, he was thinking, "Lina has to be alive! I haven't had her yet, and I will have her. After all this time, she's mine by right, damn it! Even if Xellos has her first, I'll be her last!" Gourry's thoughts were drifting again to the feel of her firm curves. Zelgadis brought his attention back to the present with his next words.
"Even if he's on Lina's side, she won't let him touch us. She's pretty loyal to her friends, so if she hasn't remembered, she'll defend us. If she has remembered then she'll want her revenge without any help. So either way, she's going to be coming to us alone."
Gourry smiled at a cute waitress that had caught his eye. She looked similar to Lina, having the same hair color and stature. The main difference was the waitress flaunted her abundance of feminine charms. She seemed to beckon to him, obviously unafraid of sexual activities like Lina was. One thing that had attracted Gourry to Lina was her purity. "But I've waited enough," Gourry thought impatiently. Everyone knew Gourry wanted her, but she didn't seem to know. He was getting a little tired of substitutes. Not tired enough to stop of course...
"So you're saying," Gourry said still following the waitress with his eyes, "we might as well sit back and ...relax." Zelgadis chuckled as he saw what Gourry was staring at so intently.
"Well, just don't use up all your energy on the appetizer when the main meal will be here any minute," Zelgadis said, using language that Gourry was sure to understand. (a/n: ^_^)
Gourry grinned and said, "Well Zel, you know how big my ...appetite is." Zelgadis slapped him on the back and told him to go ahead and eat his fill.
"I don't think she'll be here for awhile yet," Zel said, but Gourry was already gone. Zel looked around the room and saw him whispering into the giggling waitress's ear as he deftly steered her toward the stairs that lead up to their rooms. Zelgadis sighed, cursing his body once more. He certainly missed those pleasure of the flesh. It had been such a long time, it felt like forever to him.
He sighed again and went up to his room to practice sword techniques as his usual routine demanded. When he finally did crawl into bed late that night, he heard a door slam down the hall. As the person passed his door, he heard a young woman's voice saying, "...name isn't Lina you dumbass..." Zel sighed, slightly relieved she was only grumbling about the name. "At least this time he kept his control," thought Zel. When Lina had been recovering, Gourry had been in the habit of bedding more than one woman a night. "Obviously hanging around Lina all day took it's toll on him," Zel thought with a smirk. One night, Gourry had forgotten the last girl was still in his room from earlier that day. He'd brought a second girl in there and was already disrobing himself and the woman when the first had woke up. She'd run crying and humiliated from the room, for not only was Gourry not satisfied with her or wanted her for the rest of the night, but the second girl had been her sister. "What a mess that was," thought Zel.
In the back of his mind he realized Gourry wasn't acting much like himself lately. "Shit, even I'm not acting like myself anymore," Zel shrugged at the thought. He just rolled over and fell asleep.
(A/N: Answers come in time, I swear. So, don't bash me on how they're acting different cause I know what I'm doin! Btw, do ya'll want me to have a chapter that's Limey/Lemony or a dream chapter next? I can do either one, or I could just totally skip the dream chapter really. Tell me what ya want.)
