Cloak*and*Dagger: *Peeks out timidly* Hi everyone! I am so, so, so sooooooo
sorry about how long it took for this chapter to get up. School got hectic,
my personal tastes started to waver, and I had such a bad writer's block!
But I'm back now, and I've just re-watched the first season of Slayers, no
I haven't seen Next or Try, but I'm making an effort.
Thanks to:
Saki: ^_^; It's nice to hear from you Saki. Hehehe, I'm not telling about Zelgadis! It's my secret!!!! MINE! Happy reading!
Madi-Chan: Thank you soo much for emailing me, because if you hadn't I probably wouldn't be sitting here typing this. I think that most of this story is going to take place in Lakota's world, instead of half and half like the last one did. It'll probably end in the Slayers world, but until then it's Zelgadis only ^_^; Yeah my birthday really is in September, what a fun month! Hope you like this!
RED: I'm glad you liked my story RED! It makes me happy ^_^!!!! I really hope you stick with me here, I always feel like people are avoiding my fics, because I never get a lot of reviews. It's sad. Thanks for the website, and I'll try my best to download it, until then you're stuck with the people that I do know ^_^; Well I hope you like this chapter!!!!
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own the Slayers, namely Zelgadis. I do own Lakota, and her hometown is based on Hopewell Jct. NY. (By the way, in case any of you were wondering, I FINALLY got my Slayers manga a month or two back. Wow it's been too long!)
IMPORTANT: I just want to let you all know that I just got back from my friends party, and we stayed up all night watching Slayers. I had 4 ½ cups of coffee. While the coffee maybe out of my system by now, the weirdness is not! So please prepare yourself, because I haven't slept in over 24 hours!
Chapter2: Home; Kitchen; and Midnight Surprises!!
*Re-Cap* We started to walk around town, talking, (which was very strained on my part) because Zelgadis seemed to be staring at me the whole time. The only thing that was worse then that was the fact there wasn't the faintest glimmer of recognition in his eyes.
This was the worse birthday present ever! A friend who couldn't remember me at all! But if he couldn't remember me then why was he staring? That question zoomed through my head like a swarm of angry bees. It honestly made no sense, like so many other things.
Luckily (for me that is) the afternoon passed quickly, and soon I found myself saying a few hurried goodbyes and then starting to head my way home. It was just about dark by the time I made it to my front door. Pushing my book bag (it's one of those shoulder side bags) away from my pocket, I quickly fished out my house key, starting to feel slightly uncomfortable. Feeling the warm metal in my ridiculously deep pocket, I dashed to jam my key into the slot, burst open through the front door, and then slam it closed behind me. It had felt as though someone had been watching me.
Brushing the feeling aside I lazily kicked my shoes off, set my book bag by the stairs, and made my way to the kitchen. I grabbed a water bottle from the pantry, and turned the kitchen radio on. "Do do do dodo do do dada do do do do do do," I seemed to enjoy sounding like a moron, but then again I had sung my own little version of Brain Stew right in front of Zelgadis.. for an entire hour. That got me thinking, (yes that does happen every now and then) 'Was that kid from school really Zelgadis or did he just bear some freakish resemblance... But the name is just too much it had to be him!' This pointless little argument continued for a little while longer, until I glanced at the neon clock on the stove.
"6:32, either Mom and Dad hit really bad traffic or they're already home," I said to myself. I circled the ground floor knowing that they weren't there. Then I went up the stairs, and checked every room (Their room, my two sister's rooms, and the guest room) before slumping off to my room. But I never actually went in. On my door was a note from my parents saying that they had some business trip to go to, and left me $500 for the entire weekend, and the week after.
'Hmmm.. I'm getting de ja vou. This is just like what happened over the summer, but I rather doubt t will end the same way.. then again with 'Zelgadis' at school....' I sighed deeply; this was all too confusing on an empty stomach! I skipped down the stairs, two at a time, and dashed to pick up the phone and order my self some Chinese Takeout (The restaurant was within walking distance.)
After getting my food, and changing into a pair of black satiny pj's, I situated myself in front of the TV having every intention of eating Chinese food until I burst! **************************************************************************** ***
It was around 10:00 when I gave up on eating *all* of the food, and decided to call it an early night, after all I had plenty of time to kill. I put the leftover food in my fridge, turned off all the lights, and headed up- stairs. I left my fan on high, turned off my lights, turned on my CD player (it was playing a thunderstorm recording) and promptly fell asleep before I even had a chance pull my covers over me. **************************************************************************** *** It was quiet, maybe nothing more than a gust of wind, but never the less *something* had woken me up. I squinted around my pitch-black room, and found absolutely nothing. I glanced at my clock, midnight. "Good still time to sleep," I mumbled incoherently. I closed my eyes and snuggled deeper under my heavy sheets.. 'Wait,' my brain started to scream, ' I know that I fell asleep with my sheets all crumpled at the foot of my bed.' Feeling that my need for sleep was ready to overtake my brain, I simply shrugged it off and tried to go back to sleep.
But there it was again, so soft that I wasn't even sure that I had actually heard it. 'Maybe it really is only the wind,' I tried to relax myself. Silently I got out of bed, something in me was saying that I should check this out while something else was trying to beat up the other voice for getting in the way of sleep. **************************************************************************** ***
I quietly padded down the stairs and walked into the kitchen, thinking about making some green tea and then going to bed (I don't care for green tea much, but it does help calm me, and right now I was ready to jump out of my skin.) About two step into the kitchen and the phone rang, nearly giving me a heart attack. I briskly walked over to the phone and answered it. "Hello?"
"Hey Kota!
"Ford, do you know what time it is?"
"Midnight?"
"Yes, and I was *trying* to get some sleep!"
"You? The princess of procrastination? The same girl who said that she'd never go to bed before 2AM without putting up a fight?"
"Yeah well I'm tired! So was there anything you wanted to say or can I go now?"
"I had something.. but I forgot, so it must not have been important."
"Ok then so I guess I'll see at the mall tomorrow?"
"You betcha."
"Bye."
"Bye."
The second I hung up the receiver I felt someone put their hand across my mouth, as their other hand grabbed my shoulder, and spun me to face then with quite a bit of force. And that was when I came to face to face with Zelgadis, but he looked different now, like he was confused. I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Sorry, I didn't want you to scream," he said apologetically.
"Well you didn't have to be so rough, it's not like I can put up much of a fight anyway!"
"Sorry Lakota," he said again.
I blinked a few times, "Wait you remember me?" He nodded his head with a small smile on his face. "But today at school.. and in front of everyone... but your eyes they-"
He stopped me short by raising his hand. "I didn't want them to get suspicious. It would seem rather odd if we just suddenly knew each other."
There were a million questions that I wanted to ask him right now, but the one that came out was, "What are you doing here?"
"Coming to see if you're alright," he answered simply.
"Listen I know you promised James that you would take care of me, but that was two months ago, give it a rest already!" I half-whispered.
"We thought you died," he continued as if he hadn't heard me," when you got hit with that fireball. Lina went into hysterics, and when we couldn't find any trace of you, not even charred remains ("HEY a little respect for the would be dead!") then we started to put things together. We weren't sure what had happened, but we were pretty sure you made it home, or died a horrible flaming death."
I just glared at him for a moment due to his..colorful wording. "Ok so that answers one thing, but how did you get here?"
"I honestly couldn't tell you," ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
