Chapter 2: Familarity
L-sama smiled as Lina entered.
"What did you do this time? Fireballed a teacher, or Dragon Slaved a fellow classmate?"
Lina grinned. " Nearly. You should know, being the Mother of all, it's rather amazing though. To think that you became a high school principal."
L-sama yawned as she poured a bottle of wine. " One can get bored being the greatest being in the world. I need something new to ease my boredom. Anyway it's really amusing to see pupils cower in fear when they see me." She giggled.
Lina sighed." So, what are you going to do to me?" L-sama thought for a moment as she sipped the wine. " Gods...This wine is really disgusting. How I miss the traditional Zefilia wine. Want some?" she asked Lina.
" I'm underaged..." Lina sweatdropped. What kind of high school principal offers wine to her students? She wondered.
" I have a 'job' for you. Tomorrow, there'll be a new student who has been transferred from a neighboring school. Show him around. Don't worry, you know him."
Lina frowned. " As in? From my past life?"
L-sama smiled mysteriously. " You'll know when you come to my office tomorrow. You may leave."
" Hai." Lina muttered as she got up. Who is this boy that will be coming tomorrow? Zel? She thought.
" How's Luna doing?" L-sama asked as Lina opened the door.
" The same. And thank God she doesn't remember a thing."
L-sama chuckled. After Lina left, she laid back on her chair. " I can feel it...It's somewhere here, but where is it?" she murmured. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------
" I'm back. And I'm starving" Lina called out as she opened the door. " Mum?" She yelled, looking around for her mother. Then she saw a note on the refrigerator. Lina, Mum went to Luna's university to look for her. Will be back late. Dinner is in the microwaves.
" Food! Do you here it, tummy-chan?" She asked. Her tummy rumbled in response. Lina giggled. " Food...Food, here I come." She sang as she opened the microwaves. Yes, microwaves. She ate so much that her parents had to buy multiple microwaves. " Ah...Steak, spaghetti, pizza, fried rice, chicken soup...All my favorite." She moaned in happiness as she started gorging herself with food. " Mmm...This is heaven. No one to fight over food with me. All MINE!" she squealed. Then her smile left her face when she remembered the days when she fought with Gourry and Amelia. Even though she fought with them in school, it was still not the same.
After dinner, Lina sat in front of the television, munching on potato chips, engrossed in a food program.
" Ah..." She drooled at the sight of the delicious food.
" Eh?" She blinked when she found that she had finished her potato chips. Frowning, she went to the kitchen to find more food. To her dismay, Lina realized that all the food was gone.
" Nani?? I remembered that there were a few packets of chips here...Oh.." She sweatdropped when she saw empty packets in the dustbin.
" Looks like I have to go and buy more food." She muttered. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------
" Ah...What should I have?" Lina asked herself as she stared at the many colored packets that contained food. Suddenly, she heard someone call her.
" Lina-chan! Lina-chan!"
Looking back, she saw Filia and Amelia.
" Hoi!" Lina greeted them happily. " What are you guys doing here?"
" We're buying food and drinks for the Halloween party this Friday." Amelia said.
" Halloween party?? You're hosting one?"
" No. Garv's having one. He invited the whole class and his friends. You're invited too!" Filia replied.
" Garv?" Lina asked. " Are you going too?"
"OF COURSE! You know how fun Garv's party is. Didn't you go to his last Halloween party? Filia asked.
Lina did not go. She had been quite freaked out. Even though Garv did not remember a thing, he was still Garv. The Maryuu-Ou who had tried to kill her in her past life.
" So, are you going?" Amelia asked.
" I'll think about it." She replied. Suddenly, felt a familiar aura. Spinning around, she saw a lock of purple hair disappear among the crowd. " Xellos!" She cried out, dropping her things to chase after the person.
" Fruitcake?" Filia shouted.
Lina stared at Filia. " What did you say?" She asked the shocked girl.
" I...I dunno! I don't know where that came from!" Filia wailed.
" Come!" Lina yelled as she grabbed Filia's wrist. " Come with me, you too, Amelia!"
" Eh??! Where are you bringing me to?" Filia shouted.
" Lina-san! Filia-san! Matte! What about these food?" Amelia yelled as she ran after them, grabbing packets of snacks in her hand. Lina pulled Filia along as she ran among the crowd, trying to find the person with purple hair.
" Lina!!! Stop! Stop! Where are we going?" Filia wailed, panting.
" Shimatta...Where is he?" Lina muttered, looking around. " I know it's him. That hair, that aura...Damn you Xellos, quit playing! Oi! HAVE YOU PEOPLE SEEN A PURPLE HAIRED SMILEY??" she hollered. Everyone turned to stare at her.
" Lina...You're embarrassing us!" Filia moaned as she buried her face in her palms.
" Lina-san! Filia-san!" Amelia called breathlessly as she ran towards them. " What's wrong?"
" Xellos! Do you remember? Xellos! Come on Filia, you know him. Purple hair, always smiling!" Lina shouted. Filia shooked her head.
In desperation, Lina yelled. " Mazoku!" Hearing that, Filia's face twisted as a look of hatred flashed across her face.
" Fruitcake! Dammit!" Filia roared as she kicked at crates of fruit.
" Filia-san!" Amelia screeched as she pulled Filia away. " In the name of justice I will not allow you to torment the poor helpless fruits!" She yelled, pointing a finger at her.
" Nani...What did i do??" Filia wailed as she ran away.
Lina stared at Amelia. " Amelia, you're back!" She wailed as she glomped her.
" Nani??? I'm always here!"
Lina slid down to the floor. " I should have known." She moaned. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------
