Cloud groaned and opened her eyes. She was in the sunlight. She got up and dusted the dirt off her. "Were am I?" She froze and examined herself. "I'm a chimera," her face paled for a second.. as though she were going to scream. "Cool..!!" She grinned. She was in an outfit similar to Gourry's, of the Slayers!! Only she didn't have the big shoulder pads. She had long sleeve spandex on too. Silver armbands covered her arms, and they had Egyptian and Japanese symbols on them. There were Combat boots on her feet, made of leather.

Her hair was done up in a high pony tail, so her silver bangs hung down, and her right human ear was pierced twice, bearing 2 silver dangle triangle earrings. Her Fox ears were on top of her head like usual. With her Zelgadiss like skin, it was least to say that she stood out a bit, and well, was quite a looker. Her icy blue glasses stood out, giving her a sophisticated look. But the matter at hand was still confusing. "Where am I?"

Her keen ears picked out yelling, and she listened.

"FIRE BALL!!" there was a loud explosion.

"Fire.ball?" Cloud pondered this for a moment, and continued listening. the voice sounded like Lina Inverse.

"Please Miss Inverse!! We're sorry!! Have mercy on our pitiful souls!!"

"And ruin my reputation? No way!! FLARE ARROW!!" another explosion. Cloud leaned foreword, pushing back the bushes and foliage so she could see. Her suspicions were confirmed. Lina Inverse stood not too far away. Cloud was shocked to say the least.. but she excepted it as though it were nothing. Her brown eyes flickering in excitement.

"Miss Lina!! That wasn't nice, he was asking for mercy!!"

"Bandits don't deserve mercy," the red head kick ass sorceress stated.

"Demo-"

"She's right Amelia, let it rest," the usually dumb swordsman stated smartly.wow.amazing. The Trickster Priest was unusually quiet.

"What is it stupid Mazakou?" Zelgadiss demanded.

"You can come out now ^^" the purple haired man smiled at the bush Cloud was hiding behind.

"Kuso!!" she stepped out sheepishly, still not sure about this. I mean, what would they think of her? The Slayers gang stared at her, and Xelloss opened an eye. "Hehe.. um. hi?"

"Who are you? Are you a bandit?" Lina asked immediately. But before Cloud could answer Gourry cut in.

"Those ears," he replied getting close and squeezing them in childish fascination.

Cloud turned red in anger.

"Why.. you." she gritted her teeth. "YOU STUPID INCENCITIVE JERK!! YOU JEELYFISH BRAINS!!" she kicked him, right between the legs.

"Itai!!" Gourry's eyes had popped out, threatening to roll form his head.

"I'm no bandit, and I am highly sensitive to your crude comments, and no touching the ears.it's very personal," Lina grinned.

"I don't know who the hell you are. but I like you, I'm Lina-"

"I know.. Lina Inverse, Amelia Will Tese Seryune, Gourry Gabriev, Zelgadiss Greywords, and Xelloss Metalium." She grinned, "I'm Amanda, but I like to be called Cloud ^.~" she looked around at their staring faces, "What? I've watched the show.." She trailed off seeing the look Xelloss was giving her. "Stop!! Jeez. your creeping me out." Zelgadiss was in utter shock, he stepped closer to her. He bent closer to her face.

"Who did this too you?"

"I haven't the foggiest.. I just got here," she was leaning back, this was creepy. She lost her balance and fell over. "Itai!!" she growled and got back up. It was Xelloss's turn to poke at her. She glared at him as he poked her chest.

"So you're a chimera? Your very strange," Cloud fell over twitching, she got up quickly.

"YOU PURPLE HAIRED DORK!!" She slapped his smiling face, creating a red mark that quickly healed. Cloud glared. She was about to turn tail and leave, get out of this dream when something jerked her back, a rope was on her wrists and Xelloss was the proud owner of the end, he tugged on it causing Cloud to stumble. Slayers was fast turning into a show of Nightmare for her. 'What do you want with me?!"

"Interrogation?" smiled Amelia.

"Alright, this is weird excuse while I pledge myself to insanity and become a deranged psycho who goes around screaming insane and random things at trees," she sighed a the looks they were giving her. Gourry Sneezed. Cloud pulled on the rope, but it held stead fast in Xelloss's hands. "DAMN IT!! LET GO!!"

"such naughty language for someone so young," the slayers sweatdroped as Cloud began using the rope to strangle Xelloss. He just smiled. "I didn't know you cared that much ^^," Cloud stopped and pushed Xelloss away form her.. Breaking the rope in the process. She above Xelloss, he grinned up at her. She glared and stuck out her tongue, then kicked him in the rips sending him flying several meters. She dusted off herself.

"Don't mess with me Mazakou." she sighed a minute afterward. "He is SO not my favorite anymore.. I think I'll use him as a dart board," She looked at the slayers, they were giving her a 'look' "what did I do now?"

"Are your bangs that color naturally?" Cloud sighed.

"No I dyed them,"

"You killed your hair to make it silver?" asked Gourry. A stress mark formed over Cloud's right eye.

"I COME FROMA DIFRENT WORLD STUPID!! YOUR ALL CARTOON CARACTORS!!"

"Cartoons?" asked Zelgadiss

"Yes as in people watch your adventures. And Zel, before you say it, no there isn't a cure for thi-" she paused and her eyes went wide.

"I think she's just realizing her predicament," smiled Lina. Cloud poked at her hand in disbelief. She did it again.

"Oh dear lord. for the sake of L-sama!!" She tried pulling off one of the rocks... it didn't work. "Couldn't they have placed me in a castle were I'm supposed to be rescued??!! THIS IS SO LAME!!" she yelled banging her hand on the nearest thing..a tree. she banged it hard enough that the tree toppled over. "Alright that may have been incredibly cool, but.. this isn't time for cool!!" Cloud's ears dropped. 'Great.. just great. Now I'm even more of a freak! DAMN IT ALL TO HELL AND BACK!!" she sighed. "God, Aya would have the time of her life laughing at me right now," she sighed. "There has to be a way." The slayers looked at the poor girl who was in denial.

"She's in the denial stage isn't she Mr. Zelgadiss?" asked Amelia, tears welling up in her eyes, on account of her pure innocent childlike heart.

"Hai," Zelgadiss answered in a flat monotone. The young teen sighed in defeat.

"I give up.. Next I'll be hit with a lightening bolt!!' Xelloss chuckled and sent one down to shock her, but she dodged. "I WASN'T BEING LITERAL!!"

"Oh, my bad ^^" Cloud sighed.

"Great I meet my hero's to only have my heart crushed, how cruel." Lina put an arm around the girl.

"I'm your hero?" she asked incredulously. Cloud didn't answer, she just stared at her feet, her eyes wide. Lina shook the girl by her shoulders. "Hey answer me!!"

"I don't even have my music!!" as if by some stupid force of magic a backpack fell on Cloud's head. "ow.." she opened the bag and her eyes widened with joy. "SCORE!!" the slayers jumped at her sudden outburst. "My portable CD player!!" they sweat dropped. So this is what made her happy?
