First, the tiresome disclaimer: I don't own Slayers. Or the North Pole.

Chapter 2: Brr! It's cold up here!

**************

"I'm...so...cold!" chattered Lina from atop Filia's back. They had reached the North Pole, and were now frozen half to death.

"M-mr. Zelgadis, h-h-how much f-farther do you think Mr. D-dynast's house is? J-j-justice isn't k-keeping me very w-warm."

"I-it s-s-should be near h-here."

"Would you quit complaining back there? I'm cold and I have to do the flying!" Filia yelled.

"Y-you don't s-s-sound very c-cold, F-filia." Gourry said

"That's because my teeth are frozen. If they chatter they might break."

"THERE IT IS!" Lina yelled, grinning like an idiot, "AND THERE'S SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE CHIMNEY! Ahhh, we'll be warm again!"

Filia flew over to Dynasts house, landing just in front. After she transformed into her human form again, they walked over to his house.

"Warm warm warm, we will be warm!" Lina sang as she danced about in the snow.

They knocked on Dynasts door, and heard the sound of footsteps. Dynast opened the door, and looked down at them.

"I'm guessing you're Lina and friends, right?" he said. "Here. Zelas' purple haired fruitcake said to give you this." He handed them a note that had Xellos' writing on it. "Now go away."

"But if we could jus come in for a minute..." Lina said

"No. Goodbye." He said as he shut the door in their faces.

"Why you...well, if I can't be warm, neither can you! FIREBALL!" she yelled, as she incinerated Dynasts house.

"YOU LITTLE HUMAN! HOW DARE YOU!" Dynast bellowed, his eyes glowing blood red.

"You don't scare me!" Lina yelled back, "I've pissed of my sister and lived to tell about it! YOU'LL BE A PIECE OF CAKE!"

"AHHHH!" The rest of the group yelled.

"Hehe, please excuse us Mr. Dynast-sama, she hasn't had her medication yet, bye!" Amelia said quickly as they scurried off into the distance, dragging a still angry Lina behind them.

"YOUR MOTHER WEARS COMBAT BOOTS!" Lina managed to yell before they were out of Dynasts hearing range.

After running for a while, Amelia finally let Lina go. They rested for a while, then remembered the note.

"I have it here." Said Zelgadis.

"What does it say?" Gourry asked.

"Hmm...it says 'Go to the island of my birth. Signed, Xellos.'"

"Ooohhh, that little namagomi! He was born on Wolfpack Island! Maybe he's there! I'LL FINALLY GET HIM!" Filia exclaimed, imagining what she was going to do to Xellos. She smiled evilly. She quickly transformed to dragon, then said "Hurry! Everyone on my back! We're going to Wolfpack Island!"

The group climbed on her back, then Filia took off and started flying off again. Then, Xellos appeared beside them.

"My, my, Filia! You really do have a bad sense of direction, don't you? Wolfpack is that way!" He said, pointing to her right and smiling cheesily.

"NAMAGOMI!" she shrieked, letting loose a laser breath.

"And your breath stinks, to!" Xellos said again, "See you later, Filia- chan!"

"Do NOT call me chan!"

"Alright...chanchanchanchanchan!" Xellos said, then disappeared.

"Well, we're off to Wolfpack Island!" Amelia exclaimed.

C-sama: Ok, that was a pretty short chapter. I'll try and make the next one extra long. ^_^
