Chapter 7:
Lina sighed as she dragged her feet on the road. "Why am I so unlucky." She moaned.
*Flashback*
"Onee-san! Open the door; I want you to see someone!" Lina yelled as she banged on her sister's door.
The door flung open to reveal an annoyed looking Luna. "What do you want!?"
Lina smiled nervously. "Say hi to.Ta Da!!" she said as she turned to one side to reveal.
*crickets chirping*
Lina's mouth dropped open. "Nani!? Where did he go!?" she wailed.
Luna twitched. "Stop wasting my time." She said, her eyes narrowing dangerously.
"He was there! He was there! He can't just disappear like that!!" Lina moaned.
"Who? Cepheed?" Luna asked.
Lina stared at her sister. "How did you know??"
"My dear, I'm his Knight, how wouldn't I know?" Luna said in exasperation.
Suddenly, they heard a lot of noise and a gasp coming from downstairs. Lina and Luna ran down to see.
" Cepheed!!! What are you doing!?" Lina demanded. Cepheed was fiddling with the television with a bewildered look on his face. When he heard Lina, he turned around.
"Ah! Lina-san! There are people in this box! Isn't it amazing!!?" He said. Lina groaned.
"That's a television, Cepheed-sama." Luna said in an amused tone as she sat on the couch.
"Luna!! It's good to see you again!" Cepheed said happily. "The modern world is so amazing!" "What are you doing here, Cepheed-sama?" Luna asked curiously. Cepheed looked at Lina.
Lina gulped. After she finished explaining, Luna gave her a death glare. "So, it all started with you, little sister."
"How was I supposed to know that Shabby was sealed inside the Claire Bible!?" She protested.
"Shabby?' Cepheed wondered.
"You should have given it to L-sama in the first place!" Luna snapped. " Anyway, since you unsealed the old crab, you should seal him back again. Moreover, you're his knight."
Lina sank into the couch. "I hate my life."
* End of flashback*
Lina sighed again. Pulling out the Claire Bible, she stared at it for a while. Suddenly, she heard someone call her from behind.
"Oi! Lina!"
Lina turned around and saw Gourry and Sylfiell running towards her.
"What's that!?" Gourry asked as he took the Claire Bible from Lina.
"Give it back!" Lina yelled frantically, but it was too late. Gourry had already opened the book. Golden light shone from the book and engulfed Gourry and Sylfiell. Lina shielded her eyes from the dazzling light. Then as fast as it appeared, the light subsided and vanished. Gourry stood there stunned while Sylfiell lay on the floor, unconscious.
" Sylfiell! Are you alright!?" Lina asked as she shook her. Sylfiell gave a small moan and opened her eyes.
"Lina-san? What happened?"
"Lina.Where's my Sword of Light?"
Lina froze. She turned around slowly and saw Gourry scratching his head.
"Gourry, what did you say?" She whispered.
"Ah! I remember! The pink guy took it! Man, I miss my sword." Gourry sighed.
"Gourry.You remember?" Lina yelled as she grabbed his shirt and shook him hard.
"Huh?" Gourry asked as clueless as ever.
"Jellyfish!" Lina cried happily as she hugged him. Then she turned to Sylfiell.
"Do you remember? Sylfiell-san?"
"Hai.A bit." Sylfiell said, looking a little dazed. Little gave a small whoop and hugged her. Then she grew thoughtful.
"Weird.How did the both of you remember? I bet it has something to do with the Claire Bible!" Lina said as she picked up the book which has fallen on the floor.
"Oi, Cepheed! Wake up!"
"I'm awake." A tired voice said. On hearing that, Sylfiell gave a shrieked.
"That book can talk!"
"Don't worry, it's just Cepheed."
"Seafood? Where!? I'm hungry!" Gourry said as he looked around for 'seafood'. Lina whacked him on the head.
"Baka! It's Cepheed!" Lina yelled.
Cepheed coughed. "Ahem." Lina gave him a sheepish look.
"Well, I don't know how they remember, but it's a good thing. But I don't think you should use the Claire Bible anymore. It has limited powers and I need the powers to survive in this world. The book uses a lot of power to bring back past life memories, so you better not open the book in front of other people." Cepheed said.
"That means I can't use the Claire Bible to help the others remember?" Lina asked. "And if I finish using the book's powers you will die?'
"Not die, but I will not be able to communicate with you like I'm doing now. And don't keep opening the book; it will drain its power and my energy." Lina nodded.
"Lina-san, what's happening?" Sylfiell asked. Lina sighed. After she finished with her 'story', Sylfiell looked stricken., while Gourry looked rather clueless.
"Oh dear.Are we going to die again?" Sylfiell asked in dismay.
"We will defeat shabby!" Lina yelled as she punched the air. "Ne, Gourry.Do you understand what I just said?
"Huh?" Gourry asked, scratching his head.
Lina buried her head in her hands. "Never mind.Do you know what reincarnation is?"
"What's that? Can it be eaten?" He asked.
Lina facefaulted.
"Gourry dear, reincarnation means a second or new birth." Sylfiell explained. Gourry blinked at her. "It means that you were someone in your past life and then you died and got reborn again." she explained patiently. Lina shook her head. She had to admire Sylfiell's patience.
"That means I died before? But how can I die when I'm still alive?" Gourry asked stupidly.
"Baka! You got reincarnated!" Lina screamed. Sylfiell smiled faintly.
"Your soul from your past life got transferred to a new body, but in our case, we retained our body and looks and soul, but not our memories, but now we have them back. So we are who we are last time. Now, we have our old memories and present memories." Sylfiell sighed.
Gourry nodded. "Ah.But why do I remember weird things like dragons with a bow and Lina in a funny suit?"
Lina facefaulted again. "Argh!" She screamed as she pulled her hair. Sylfiell laughed softly. "Let me explain again." Gourry nodded dumbly.
When they reached their class, Sylfiell had finally got Gourry to understand what reincarnation means and why he had weird memories. Lina flung open the door and her mouth dropped open. Sherra was hugging Xellos.
"Xellos! What are you doing!?' Lina demanded.
"Ohayo Lina-san!" He said cheerfully while trying to detach Sherra from him. Sherra gave Lina a death glare. "Who is Xellos to you!?" She demamded. Lina sweatdropped.
" Nobody. Just a friend." Lina replied, shaking her head.
"Just a friend? Lina-san, think of all the things we've done!" Xellos pouted cutely.
" Nani!? What did we do??" Lina yelled.
Xellos grinned. "Ah Lina-chan, how can you forget our wonderful relationship? Do you remember the time when I went to your house and we.Itai!" Xellos was cut off when a punch sent him flying. Lina grabbed a chair and whacked Xellos with it.
"YOU PEVERT! STOP RUINING MY REPUTATION! WE HAVENT EVEN DONE ANYTHIGN YET!" Lina screeched. Everyone sweatdropped. Sherra stood there horrified.
"Stop it! Ohh, my Xellos-sama! Are you alright?" Sherra wailed as she pushed Lina away. Xellos was giggling madly. Lina twitched.
"One more word and I'll Giga slave you!" she threatened the laughing fruitcake.
"Stop threatening my Xelly boy!" Sherra snapped. "You breastless bitch! How can you treat Xellos-sama like that!?"
"Nani!? What did you call me!?" Lina yelled. "Shameless whore!"
"Xellos-sama!!! She called me a whore!" Sherra wailed. "You're just jealous that you look like a thirteen year old!"
"What!?" Lina demanded. "Well you look like a hooker!"
"What did you say!?" Sherra shouted. "I dare you to repeat it!"
"Oh yeah, hooker!" Lina yelled, glaring at Sherra. Xellos chuckled at their little dispute. I wonder what Dynast-sama would say if he saw this. He thought in amusement.
"Stop laughing! Or I'll tell Filia!" Lina threatened.
Xellos stopped laughing immediately. "What do you mean?" He demanded.
Lina smirked. "I wonder what she'll do if she knows you go around flirting with girls." She said smugly. A pink tinge appeared on Xellos's cheeks.
"Hrumph! I don't care what she thinks!" Xellos retorted. Then the door opened again. Lina grinned.
"Filia-chan! Xellos.Mrummph!" she yelped as Xellos clamped her mouth shut with his palm.
"Hello Filia!" He said happily. "Sleep well?"
Filia rolled her eyes. "What is it Lina? Xellos! Let go of her!"
Just as Lina was about to blast Xellos into outer space, the classroom door opened again. Garv walked in while Phibrizo leant against the door frame.
"Hey, I've got something cool to show you guys." The ex- hellmaster grinned, his bright green eyes flashing with excitment. From his black sling bag, he took out a small blue case and opened it, revealing a row of golden marbles.
"Gyarrgh!!!" Lina shrieked when she saw them. Xellos arched his eyebrow. Filia and Sherra looked at Lina in surprise. Behind them, Sylfiell gave a startled gasp and grabbed Gourry. The blonde swordsman merely scratched his head.
"Quit showing off!" Garv snapped and grabbed three marbles from the case. And before Phibrizo could stop him, Garv started juggling them. "Look at me! I can juggle!" He shouted.
"You idiot! You're gonna drop it!" The raven haired teenager shouted as he lunged at Garv. Just as his fingers closed on the marbles, on rolled off his hand and dropped onto the floor. Phibrizo hit the floor with a thud and the case he was holding spilled over and all the golden orbs crashed to the floor. Lina screamed as the marbles cracked into several pieces. Phibrizo stared at the broken pieces while the rest of the class stared at Lina.
"Man, it's just marbles!" Garv said, but was cut off when Phibrizo slammed into him.
"You big oaf! I'm gonna kill you!" He shouted as he punched Garv wildly. A surprised Garv quickly got back to his senses and pulled the smaller boy off him.
"Cool it! I'll buy you some more fucking marbles from the local store! They have all kinds of colors there!" Garv shouted. "Chill off, Lina! What's your fucking problem!?" He asked the Dra-mata who was looking around, shaking slightly.
"I'm still alive.L-sama." Lina muttered. Xellos chuckled slightly.
"You don't have to worry, not now, because Phibby hasn't gotten back his powers and memories." He threw a glance at the enraged boy who was currently trying to break Garv's kendo sword.
"Stop it! You're fucking crazy over those marbles!" The former chaos dragon hollered as he tried to protect his beloved sword from the furious Phibrizo. Xellos giggled as he watched the two fight.
"Yare yare, I should record this down and blackmail them when they regain their memories." The trickster chortled happily.
"They'll slaughter you." Lina muttered dryly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
Sherra walked along the corridor, her face thoughtful.
"It's weird.Those dreams. Who is that man in my dreams, and why do I keep dreaming of the North Pole?" Sherra muttered, her smooth featured pulled into a sullen frown. She ran her fingers through her long hair which, unlike the past, was not pulled into a braid but left in her shoulders. Her grayish eyes were confused.
" Cepheed, Cepheed, come out!" Sherra look up, startled when she heard a muffled voice from one of the empty rooms beside her. Curiously, she opened the door slightly and saw Lina holding a book in one hand and a bread in another. Sherra's eyes widened in shock when she saw a glow from the book, which materialized into a handsome man in white robes.
" Nani.Is Lina a witch or what?" she whispered. Then Lina spoke while stuffing the bread into her mouth.
" Cepheed, what are we going to do now? We can't tell Phibrizo and Garv right now, they'll kill me immediately." Lina's voice strained. Sherra blinked. What has it got to do with those two punks? She had never liked them, they were loud and vulgar, especially Garv, but yet she felt as if she had seen them before. She concentrated again when the man Lina called Cepheed spoke.
" You should, it will be even worse if Ruby-Eye finds them. Now, you may have a chance of getting them on your side, but if he finds them, there'll be no chance of getting them to fight against him."
" Should I tell Aya too? Oh yes, Luna told me that she saw Zelas in her University. Should I get her to tell Zelas?" Lina asked.
Cepheed nodded. "Yes. We have to gather everybody as soon as possible. Even the dragons and the other humans. We have to do it quickly. Right now, because Ruby-Eye has just been unsealed, he can't do much. Moreover, he doesn't belong to this world, thus it will take time before he gets powerful enough. But right now, he's still a threat, we must be faster than him. The first thing he'll do is to find his Lords. With them, world domination is much easier."
Sherra's mouth dropped open. World domination? She wondered. What in the world are they talking about??
"Who is he going to find first?" Lina asked.
"Technically, he should find Phibrizo first as he's the leader. However, it would be a great risk as I am here. Even though I may not be Ruby-Eye's match now, you are here with me, and the other dragons too. Shabranigdu is not stupid. He knows that we will find a way to bring the other 4 to our side, and that leaves with."
"Dynast Grausherra!" Lina finished. Sherra gasped. That name!
Lina tensed. "Who's there?" She shouted. Sherra bit her lips. They heard her. Slowly, she walked into the room, giving Lina a defiant look.
"Give it up, Lina Inverse, I know you're a witch, and a rather flat chested one at that!" she sneered, trying to cover her fear. Lina shot her a look.
"Shut up about the chest! I'm not a witch!" Lina said, offended.
"Humph! Well I saw you calling that ghost out from your spell book!" Sherra said.
Lina snorted. "Cepheed's not a ghost! And the Claire Bible is not a spell book! Not really.You heard everything?"
"I don't care what that.that monster is. Yes I heard everything and I'm going to tell the whole school that you're a witch!"
"I'm not a witch! I'm a sorcerer and you're a mazoku!" Lian snapped, her patience wearing thin. Sherra's eye's widened. Mazoku! It sounded so familiar. She shook her head.
" No! I'm human!" she shouted defiantly. Lina sighed,
" Should we tell her?" she asked the Flare Dragon who was seating on a chair, his eyes closed.
"You have to."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------
"How long have you known Lina-chan?!" Aya, Deep Sea Dolphin asked Zelgadis as she pranced around him, her blue hair flying about messily.
The violet haired boy scratched his head, fingering his hair. "A long time, I supposed." His face was sullen, as usual.
"I like her! She's nice!" The former Kai-ou laughed, her aqua eyes twinkling merrily. Zelgadis smiled as he remembered the adventures they used to have. She simply had the thing in her that somehow drew him to her friendship. Dolphin had that too. He had never met the Kai-ou before in his past life, but he knew it was her. She didn't give him an impression of a Mazoku Lord, and was cheerful and funny. Then his thoughts drifted to Amelia. The princess.He wondered how she was now. They had met for the first time in this life at Garv's party and he was grateful that she remembered. She had grown, a sixteen-year old girl who was as vibrant and as full of life as she was in the past, he could not keep her away from his thoughts. Zelgadis sighed, maybe this is love, he thought.
Aya stopped prancing around and sat on Zel's table. "Are you in love?" she asked, her aqua eyes full of innocence. Zelgadis blushed.
"What makes you think so?"
"I'm psychic!" she said cheerfully.
"Yeah? Then what am I thinking about now?" The shaman challenged. Aya smiled.
"You're thinking of that girl again." she said, flinging her head back confidently Her blue hair settled untidily on her shoulders and back. Aya smiled broadly. "I'm right, aren't I?"
Zelgadis blushed even harder. "Nonsense!"
Aya laughed in response. "I'm correct! I told you, I'm psychic!" Then she gave a yelp as two hands covered her eyes.
"Since you're psychic, can you tell who I am?" the person asked.
Deep Sea Dolphin laughed again. "Even if you disguised your voice, I know who you are, Lanngourt!"
"Well, that's because I am the only one who does this to you" Lanngourt protested.
Aya giggled. "Whatever. Zel's in love!"
Zelgadis was as red as a tomato by then. "Don't listen to her crazy talks."
"I'm not crazy!" Aya said, slightly offended.
Lanngourt chuckled. "For once, I side with her. Really, Zelgadis, you should see the way you sigh dreamily and blush madly. Ohhh! You're in love!" Then, Lanngourt turned to face Aya.
"Ohh, girl of my dreams!" he cooed. "By the way, what's her name?"
Aya giggled madly. "Amelia!" she gasped. "Ohhh, Zelgadis-kun!" she played along.
"Amelia"
"Zelgadis"
"Amelia!"
"Zelgadis!"
"Cut it out." Zelgadis muttered, trying not to blush so much. Aya and Lanngourt, by then were rolling on the floor, clutching their sides as they laughed uncontrollably. Zelgadis shook his head.
"L-sama.What did I do to end up with these idiots?" Zelgadis moaned and buried his head in his arms.

A/N: Thank you all of you who reviewed. Thanx Sherra-sama for telling me that Sherra is Dynast's general. Isn't Dolphin cute? Lol. By the way, what is Sherra's hair and eye color? As you probably can predict, Sherra will get back her memories in the next chapter.Hmm.Should Dynast join Shabby or fight Shabby? Should the mazokus join Shabby? Should the dragons remain good? Any ideas? I haven't thought about it yet. I love Dynast.*sighs blissfully*He'll be coming out in the next next chapter (I have no idea). Zelas will be in the next chapter.
Oh yeah, please continue reviewing and commenting. I can't really write*sigh*please give me some tips on how to improve on my writing skills*pleads*Any review is better than no review, so even if you're very very bored, tell me why it is boring. I will be forever grateful to you.
Lina sighed as she dragged her feet on the road. "Why am I so unlucky." She moaned.
*Flashback*
"Onee-san! Open the door; I want you to see someone!" Lina yelled as she banged on her sister's door.
The door flung open to reveal an annoyed looking Luna. "What do you want!?"

Lina's mouth dropped open. "Nani!? Where did he go!?" she wailed.
Luna twitched. "Stop wasting my time." She said, her eyes narrowing dangerously.
"He was there! He was there! He can't just disappear like that!!" Lina moaned.
"Who? Cepheed?" Luna asked.
Lina stared at her sister. "How did you know??"
"My dear, I'm his Knight, how wouldn't I know?" Luna said in exasperation.
Suddenly, they heard a lot of noise and a gasp coming from downstairs. Lina and Luna ran down to see.

Lina sighed again. Pulling out the Claire Bible, she stared at it for a while. Suddenly, she heard someone call her from behind.
"Oi! Lina!"
Lina turned around and saw Gourry and Sylfiell running towards her.
"What's that!?" Gourry asked as he took the Claire Bible from Lina.
"Give it back!" Lina yelled frantically, but it was too late. Gourry had already opened the book. Golden light shone from the book and engulfed Gourry and Sylfiell. Lina shielded her eyes from the dazzling light. Then as fast as it appeared, the light subsided and vanished. Gourry stood there stunned while Sylfiell lay on the floor, unconscious.
" Sylfiell! Are you alright!?" Lina asked as she shook her. Sylfiell gave a small moan and opened her eyes.
"Lina-san? What happened?"
"Lina.Where's my Sword of Light?"
Lina froze. She turned around slowly and saw Gourry scratching his head.
"Gourry, what did you say?" She whispered.
"Ah! I remember! The pink guy took it! Man, I miss my sword." Gourry sighed.
"Gourry.You remember?" Lina yelled as she grabbed his shirt and shook him hard.
"Huh?" Gourry asked as clueless as ever.
"Jellyfish!" Lina cried happily as she hugged him. Then she turned to Sylfiell.

But right now, he's still a threat, we must be faster than him. The first thing he'll do is to find his Lords. With them, world domination is much easier."
Sherra's mouth dropped open. World domination? She wondered. What in the world are they talking about??
"Who is he going to find first?" Lina asked.
"Technically, he should find Phibrizo first as he's the leader. However, it would be a great risk as I am here. Even though I may not be Ruby-Eye's match now, you are here with me, and the other dragons too. Shabranigdu is not stupid. He knows that we will find a way to bring the other 4 to our side, and that leaves with."
"Dynast Grausherra!" Lina finished. Sherra gasped. That name!
Lina tensed. "Who's there?" She shouted. Sherra bit her lips. They heard her. Slowly, she walked into the room, giving Lina a defiant look.
"Give it up, Lina Inverse, I know you're a witch, and a rather flat chested one at that!" she sneered, trying to cover her fear. Lina shot her a look.
"Shut up about the chest! I'm not a witch!" Lina said, offended.
"Humph! Well I saw you calling that ghost out from your spell book!" Sherra said.
Lina snorted. "Cepheed's not a ghost! And the Claire Bible is not a spell book! Not really.You heard everything?"
"I don't care what that.that monster is. Yes I heard everything and I'm going to tell the whole school that you're a witch!"
"I'm not a witch! I'm a sorcerer and you're a mazoku!" Lian snapped, her patience wearing thin. Sherra's eye's widened. Mazoku! It sounded so familiar. She shook her head.
" No! I'm human!" she shouted defiantly. Lina sighed,
" Should we tell her?" she asked the Flare Dragon who was seating on a chair, his eyes closed.
"You have to."

"How long have you known Lina-chan?!" Aya, Deep Sea Dolphin asked Zelgadis as she pranced around him, her blue hair flying about messily.
The violet haired boy scratched his head, fingering his hair. "A long time, I supposed." His face was sullen, as usual.
"I like her! She's nice!" The former Kai-ou laughed, her aqua eyes twinkling merrily. Zelgadis smiled as he remembered the adventures they used to have. She simply had the thing in her that somehow drew him to her friendship. Dolphin had that too. He had never met the Kai-ou before in his past life, but he knew it was her. She didn't give him an impression of a Mazoku Lord, and was cheerful and funny. Then his thoughts drifted to Amelia. The princess.He wondered how she was now. They had met for the first time in this life at Garv's party and he was grateful that she remembered. She had grown, a sixteen-year old girl who was as vibrant and as full of life as she was in the past, he could not keep her away from his thoughts. Zelgadis sighed, maybe this is love, he thought.
Aya stopped prancing around and sat on Zel's table. "Are you in love?" she asked, her aqua eyes full of innocence. Zelgadis blushed.
"What makes you think so?"
"I'm psychic!" she said cheerfully.
"Yeah? Then what am I thinking about now?" The shaman challenged. Aya smiled.
"You're thinking of that girl again." she said, flinging her head back confidently Her blue hair settled untidily on her shoulders and back. Aya smiled broadly. "I'm right, aren't I?"
Zelgadis blushed even harder. "Nonsense!"
Aya laughed in response. "I'm correct! I told you, I'm psychic!" Then she gave a yelp as two hands covered her eyes.
"Since you're psychic, can you tell who I am?" the person asked.
Deep Sea Dolphin laughed again. "Even if you disguised your voice, I know who you are, Lanngourt!"
"Well, that's because I am the only one who does this to you" Lanngourt protested.
Aya giggled. "Whatever. Zel's in love!"
Zelgadis was as red as a tomato by then. "Don't listen to her crazy talks."
"I'm not crazy!" Aya said, slightly offended.
Lanngourt chuckled. "For once, I side with her. Really, Zelgadis, you should see the way you sigh dreamily and blush madly. Ohhh! You're in love!" Then, Lanngourt turned to face Aya.
"Ohh, girl of my dreams!" he cooed. "By the way, what's her name?"
Aya giggled madly. "Amelia!" she gasped. "Ohhh, Zelgadis-kun!" she played along.
"Amelia"
"Zelgadis"
"Amelia!"
"Zelgadis!"
"Cut it out." Zelgadis muttered, trying not to blush so much. Aya and Lanngourt, by then were rolling on the floor, clutching their sides as they laughed uncontrollably. Zelgadis shook his head.
"L-sama.What did I do to end up with these idiots?" Zelgadis moaned and buried his head in his arms.

A/N: Thank you all of you who reviewed. Thanx Sherra-sama for telling me that Sherra is Dynast's general. Isn't Dolphin cute? Lol. By the way, what is Sherra's hair and eye color? As you probably can predict, Sherra will get back her memories in the next chapter.Hmm.Should Dynast join Shabby or fight Shabby? Should the mazokus join Shabby? Should the dragons remain good? Any ideas? I haven't thought about it yet. I love Dynast.*sighs blissfully*He'll be coming out in the next next chapter (I have no idea). Zelas will be in the next chapter.
Oh yeah, please continue reviewing and commenting. I can't really write*sigh*please give me some tips on how to improve on my writing skills*pleads*Any review is better than no review, so even if you're very very bored, tell me why it is boring. I will be forever grateful to you.
