"Lina, why the hell did you say yes to him?!" That demand was courtesy of Zelgadis.
Said sorceress was too busy fawning over her latest fortune to pay him any heed. When Xelloss had suddenly teleported away, Lina had had a momentary fear that he would take her "payment in advance" with him.
True to his word, Xelloss had left the sack of priceless valuables along with little Zelas behind. Aforementioned toddler was sitting on the ground, silently enjoying the snack that was Zel's frustration.
"Lina!" This time Zelagdis' tone was biting and sharp. Knowing that he wouldn't leave her alone about it until she answered him, she humored him with a chirpy all-too-innocent "What?"
Zel glowered at the petite sorceress and repeated himself through clenched teeth: "You heard me: why did you say 'yes' to him?"
Lina sighed and stood, taking on a slightly lecturing pose. "What kind of question is that? Look at how much I'm getting paid for watching a baby!"
"Lina," Zelgadis said, "were you too busy ogling the money to notice that that baby is ONE OF THE DARK LORDS UNDER RUBY-EYED SHABRANIGDU?! She's a MAZOKU!"
"So I've noticed," Lina said, causing Zel to turn his back to her, shaking his head and sporting a small sweatdrop.
Lina surveyed her surroundings, her hands on her hips. She and Zel were in the middle of the road, along with the chibified Zelas-Metallium. Amelia was sitting at the base of an oak tree, enjoying the view of the field and dense forest surrounding them while Gourry was fast asleep in the grass.
Lina sighed. All was silent for a few moments before she cried out: "Alright! Enough talk; we're off! Gourry! Take Beastmaster and let's go!" Lina's voice was loud enough to catch the attention of the local Bandits.
Five or six grossly muscular thugs jumped out of their cover in the forest ahead of the Slayers, effectively blocking the road. The thieves silently eyed the three that were visible to them: Zelgadis, Lina, and Zelas.
"Five us all your loot or else!" One of the lackeys shouted. Lina and Zel blinked at them a couple of times.
Seeing that the two of them needed convincing, the Leader addressed Zel specifically: "If you don't give us your loot we'll kill your wife and kid!" He clearly thought that Lina and Zel was a young couple.
The silence that followed the bandit's remark was full of foreboding. Lina and Zel were both an interesting shade of red.
"W-WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY?" This deafening shriek was courtesy of none other than Lina.
She was so embarrassed that she couldn't take it, so she did the first thing that came to mine: "Fireball! Flare bit! Burst Flare! BURST RONDO!"
The bandits didn't even have a chance to scream.
Still a bit pink but feeling much better nonetheless, Lina Inverse, Sorceress Supreme, dusted her hands.
She turned toward the others; Amelia and Gourry had gotten up to watch the bandits get blown sky-high.
"Wow, Miss Lina,' Amelia said as she gazed at the spot in the sky where the bandits had vanished, shielding her eyes from the sun with one hand.
Lina began to walk, slinging the sack of priceless artifacts over one shoulder. Gourry grabbed the little Juu-ou and followed. Amelia fell in line behind Gourry while Zelgadis took up the rear.

"ARRGH! I can't do this!"
Valgarv was at the end of his rope. He couldn't take his eyes off of the little Garv for even a second. The little guy got into everything!
Val was sitting cross-legged on the floor of the hideout. Aforementioned Chaos Dragon was somewhere in the room, Val was certain of that. He had just lost track of the little punk barely twenty seconds ago. A loud crash sounded, followed by the sound of metal hitting stone. With a grumble, Val got to his feet to see what his Lord had gotten into this time.
Garv had knocked down a weapons' rack but was miraculously unharmed. Valgarv picked his way through the exposed blades of various highly dangerous and painful weapons and grabbed a hold of Garv. He slipped the Maryu-ou under one arm and left the room. He couldn't do this alone; not only did he not know how to take care of kids, but he most certainly did NOT have the patience to learn.

Of course, Sunfish had similar sentiments about his beloved Lord Dolphin...
"WHEE!" Dolphin cried gleefully as she slid headfirst down four stories of a spiraling marble staircase on a pillow with a silken pillowcase. When she hit the floor, the super-cushy pillow slid at least another fifteen feet due to inertia and the slick quality of silk.
Not at all ready to let her fun with the pillow end, she somehow managed to rip the pillow open. She glanced up and saw Sunfish running down the stairs. Dolphin plunged her chubby little hands into the pillow's downy stuffing and pulled out as many feathers as she could hold and flung them all around herself.
Sunfish nearly started crying when he saw this new mess.

Phibrizzo was having a similarly good time. He had wandered outside of the stronghold and immediately began to play in the desert sand. By the time Kurai had found him-which was only about five minutes later- he had managed to get sand all over himself, including in his hair.
When Phibby was Kurai sneaking up on him, he began to giggle and fling sand at her. She teleported to avoid the onslaught of Killer Sand and scooped the giggling child up.
"...I'm sorry Lord Hellmaster, but you need a bath."

And here ends installment four. It took me a while to crank this one out, didn't it? ^^; Well, I wrote this whole dang thing today! ^-^ So, what do you think? Like it? Absolutely abhor it's presence? Tell me in a review!
Suggestions welcome and ENCOURAGED! ^^
