~Mighty Disclaimer of Incoherent DOOM!: I don't own Slayers, so don't dare
sue, worthless ningen-tachi!!!!! :: evil cackle:: O.o
Author's notes: I have renewed my love for Violinist of Hameln!! But I'm sure you don't care!! Um, I'm going to try to balance out the PoV's, but this'll probably focus more on the Dynast-tachi because I like them better, and I'm experimenting with Norst's character. ^^; He may make me up the rating to PG-13. Oh, and thank you Schwarz for the title idea! ^^

Numbly, Sherra walked into the room. Her mind was still shut down from the initial shock of what she had seen. Instead of her master, there was a...a baby on his bed! Actually, now that she took a closer look, the baby looked like Dynast-sama...sort of. He was around one and two years of age. The toddler looked up when Sherra walked in, and instantly made for her. He crawled to the end of the bed and nearly fell off when Sherra snapped out of it and grabbed him. Awkwardly, she adjusted the toddler in her arms and sat down on the edge of the bed. He looked up at Sherra and blinked curiously at her. Now she was sure that this was her Dynast-sama. He had the same seamless gray eyes, messy black hair, heck, even his mannerisms were the same.
It was now that Norst and the twins burst into the room. Grou had returned from wherever he had been when Sherra sent the summons for them. The four servants of the Supreme King just blinked at each other for a moment before Norst smiled cheekily and said with a teasing tone, "Why Sherra-chan! You didn't tell us that you were going to have a baby! We could have had a party!" Sherra glared at her "brother" while the twins face-faulted.
Norst continued to laugh at Sherra while she yelled at him to shut up. In the meantime, Grau had carefully approached the irate Sherra and began to inspect the baby. He quickly came to the same conclusion as Sherra had. It was Dynast-sama. But what happened? That was the question. Suddenly, Sherra stood. She was still yelling at Norst, who had a talent for annoying her, and Grausherra had buried his face in her shoulder. "It would seem that Dynast-sama doesn't remember us.." Grou began, but was cut off by Sherra's sharp "WHAT?!"
Grou sweatdropped when Sherra stormed up to him. She was scary when she was mad. She knelt down in front of the eight-year old and asked in a voice that she forced to be calm, "What do you mean, 'Dynast-sama doesn't remember us'? What's happened to him?" The twins swallowed softly before Grau said, "He's had a spell put on him, a potent one cast by someone stronger than him. His age seems to have been turned back; he doesn't remember us, you can tell by the way he's acting. He doesn't remember anything. Check his astral signature."
Everyone was silent for a moment before Norst said, "He can't teleport, either...in fact all he can do is feed; the bulk of his power has been sealed as well. .ano, Sherra-chan?" Sherra was wearing her signature Look of Death. Norst sweatdropped while the twins backed away. "I am going to KILL the worthless idiot who DARED to curse Dynast-sama!! And them I'll have Lord Hellmaster bring them back to life so I can torture them and then kill them again!!" "Sherra! Tone it down! You'll scare Dynast-sama!!" Grau scolded. Sherra blinked twice before adjusting her Lord's position in her arms so she could take a look at his face. "He looks fine to me," she said dubiously. Indeed, little Grausherra couldn't be better. Grau, Grou and Norst face faulted again.
"Okay, Grau and I'll go around and investigate the other Lords; you two stay here and watch Dynast-sama. Oh, and Sherra, try not to kill Norst this time," Grou said as he and his brother teleported off, leaving a smiling Norst and a glowering Sherra behind in a soon-to-be war zone.

Kagami and Kurai were still scrying away, but in vain. They were completely dumbfounded, and Kurai was put out that she wouldn't be able to take anyone down with her scythe today. Kagami let the scrying spell dissipate as she leaned against the wall with a huff. "Now what?" Kurai said from the other corner of the room, where she was tearing her master away from Mt. Cookie.
"Hmm, I see that Lord Hellmaster isn't the culprit." a thoughtful voice said. The two women turned around, not very surprised. "Ah, and we see that it isn't Lord Dynast who is behind this, either," Kagami said calmly. "Hmm, but then who possesses the power to curse our master?" Grou wondered aloud. "The other Dark Lords aren't very likely, now that we know that both Lord Hellmaster and Lord Dynast have been cursed," Kurai added. "It is settled then," Kagami spoke up, "we will investigate the other Lords, and if none of them is the culprit, then we will have a meeting. This act will not go unpunished!"
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Several hours later, it had been determined that all of the Dark Lords had been cursed. It was decided that the Generals would take care of their masters while the Priests went out and about to investigate.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
"Bloody Hell!" a voice roared from deep within Garv's stronghold. If the GENERAL has to watch Garv-sama, -Raltark-, then why am I stuck watching him??!! The aforementioned General simply glared at the eternally angsty Valgarv, who was currently very irate as well. "Keep your mouth shut, boy, and stay here until we come back!" Rashart ordered. The General and Priest of the Chaos Dragon soon disappeared. Valgarv simply looked at little Garv- sama, who was still quite contentedly playing with the wooden blocks. "How am I supposed to take care of him?" Valgarv asked the empty room, even though he knew that no answer would be given.

Sunfish had retreated into a gloomy haze when he found out that he had been landed with the important task of watching Lord Dolphin. She was the epitome of the term "terrible twos." A playpen had been set up for her, and she was currently breaking all the toys in it. At least she wasn't chewing on his leg anymore. Charybdis had gotten some teething rings for Dolphin-sama, and she was contentedly chewing on those while she broke her toys. Sunfish hadn't been aware that there were toys in the stronghold, but oh well.
He was sadly re-decorating the room. It was hard to find the appropriate colors and textures for the curtains and vases and rugs. He heard a crash, and turned around only to find that Lord Dolphin had managed to knock over her playpen. For the next twenty minutes, a panicky Sunfish chased a gleeful Lord Dolphin all over that wing of the citadel.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Xelloss, in the meantime, had quite a problem on his hands. Being the sole servant to his master, he was the priest and the general, and each position had been given different orders. The answer was obvious, but Xelloss didn't like it. He had to take Lord Beastmaster on the search with him. It was too dangerous for her in her current condition. A young mazoku isn't allowed out of its home until it can at least kill. That's a given! Exasperated, he shook his head. What he needs is a Babysitter. Hmm...
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` ~end chapter~
::sweatdrop:: More Xelloss in next chapter, I promise. I'm still setting up the story here.
O.o Xelloss is going out to find a babysitter? Will Valgarv accidentally kill Garv due to inexperience? Will Sherra kill Norst? Will Dolphin drive Sunfish insane? Something tells me we're going to have some seriously scarred chibi Mazoku before I'm through! Please, R&R! ((O.O That RHYMED! Unintentionally! .....I need to cut back on the caffeine...)) Remember, if you don't review, then I don't update!
