Nothing Missing, Yet Found Again
~These Walls [Trapt]
Something missing / Left behind / Search in circles / Every time I try / I've been here before / I've seen you before / I can't escape walking through these halls / Hard to find a place where there are no walls / And no lines begging me to cross / Only straight ahead better move along / Like Clockwork / I commit the crime / I pretend to be / everything they like / I've been here before / I've seen you before / And I trade everything for this / And I trade everything for this / Why do I read the writing on the wall / Why do I read the writing on the wall / I won't lose my place in line / I've been here too long and I've spent to much time / I won't lose my place in line / I've been here too long and I've spent too much time ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "WOOOHOOO! I wanna piece of this wind! Faster Xellos!" Lina inverse pulled herself out so she was sitting in the window space of the red hummer as it flew down the boulevard past houses and streets without caution.
"If you get killed girl, it's not my fault!" Xellos yelled back at her as he sped the hummer up, causing the passenger on his right to tighten his grip on the dashboard, whitening his knuckles if that were anymore possible.
"Why am I forced to ride home with you people, you're gonna get into a wreck someday." Zelgadiss growled.
"Oh come on Zel-bunny! This is fun, you gota learn to live a little!"
"Didn't I tell you to stop calling me that????" Zel's face went visibly red.
"Awe cummon dear brother, my girl's called ya that sincee you wore that bunny costume for Halloween." Xellos grinned curtly at Zelgadiss. He reached his left hand back expecting Lina to offer hers. However, she simply swatted it, causing Xellos to snach it back and suck on his index finger, which was growing rapidly red.
"WHEN I WAS FIVE! And even then I regretted that degrading action."
"You're GIRL? Come on Xellos! I thought we were goin together! She's nothing but a flat chested-"
"Shut up Naga!"
The two girls in the back seat traded insults and just all around argued until Xellos had to interject, "Come on, I'm tryin to concentrate on drivin!"
"Yeah right," Naga mock-scowled at him, "You're just too busy lookin in the rear view at the rear view of your giiiiirrrrrrl! Pervert" She promptly threw a piece of garbage, which had currently taken up residence in the back of car, up at the driver. Even Zelgadiss felt compelled to laugh.
Lina simply sat in the window and looked up at the clear, starry sky as they zoomed down the road as if in a sort of race. The wind whipped it's way through her long, fire-bright, crimson hair. Lina sighed, she liked nothing better than this feeling, as if she were flying. That's perhaps why she hung out with this group of people, they were so much more carefree than her elder sister's By only a year, she reminded herself, were. It made her cringe whenever she thought about the times Luna had caught Lina on one of her late night excusions with her friends, speeding down the highway going to, or coming from, some club. Some nights, they came home drunk, and that's when she REALLY got it from Luna. It always got worse, if it could, when she'd found that Xellos, who frequently drove, was rather intoxicated too. He tended to follow Lina home, and once mistook Luna for Lina one night and fell asleep in her bed, attempting to make out with her the next morning. They both recieved quite the bashing and a long lecture about how they were ruining their lives and that someday they could wind up dead, or worse, pregnant. *Sigh* Luna simply just doesn't know how to live, she's so stressed out, wonder how she has fun...
Lina was rapidly brought out of her thoughts as she caught site of a raspberry blue Dodge Prowler a few hundred feet from them, pulling out from an almost-invisible street in the night.
"Xellos stop!!!" Screams belted their way from the girls mouths and Zel dove on the floor, covering his head with his head. Lina gripped as hard as she could to the frame of the hummer to prevent herself from careening out of the car as it skidded sideways and came to a stop with her door facing that of the driver's side door of the Dodge.
"L..Lina?"
Slowly but surely gaining feeling back into her whole body, numb from shock, Lina crained her head over to look into the window. Confusion etched her features as she tried to figure out just who this person was in the car and how he knew her name. He looked as though he'd be tall if he stood to his full height. The man had broad shoulders and a muscular frame, his hair was a long, soft, golden color and his eyes twinkled like a crystal blue ocean in the summer time. She knew him from somewhere.
"Lina are you ok, please say yes." There was a deffinite scare in Xellos's voice.
Certainly never heard him sound like that, must've scared him crapless. "Yeah Xel, I'm just peachy." She replied, panting somewhat, trying to get over the shock of her near death experience. She quickly dispelled the thoughts as the driver of the other car opened the door slightly and stepped out, and proceeded to help Lina out of the hummer.
"You should NEVER ride like that, you could've gone flying outta there!" The concern in his eyes glared down at her with a force that weakened her knees. "And you, Mr. Xel, or whatever, you shouldn't have even thought of putting this young woman in a situation like that. I'm surprised you haven't been pulled over, such wreckless driving could've harmed everyone in that car of yours, or worse!"
"Yeah, wrecked that beautiful car over there." Naga said gesturing to the car the blonde-haired stranger emerged from.
Something about that protective voice coming from the stranger reminded Lina of someone she knew, cared for deeply, in the past. "G-Gourry Gabriev????"
Gourry smiled down at Lina, "I was hoping you'd remember me."
Lina's mood suddenly brightened, forgetting everyone in the hummer, she threw her arms around him, then proceeded to mock punch him, "You're such a jellyfish-brained dope! How could you remember me when you can't even remember what you ate for breakfast!"
Gourry winced as the play shots soon became painful, it didn't take much, although she was relatively tiny, Lina Inverse knew how to hurt, even inadvertantly. "Yeah well....Hey, lemme take you home, you'd best get some rest after that..." He regarded Xellos with a rather intense scowl.
Lina suddenly caught a glance around Gourry, someone sat in the backseat of Gourry's car, with a look that could kill the strongest of beings. Lina's face fell, "Uh, I think I'll just get Xellos to take me."
"Huh" Gourry seemed confused, how could she want him to take her home when he was the reason she was almost killed?
"Ya see," Lina didn't take her eyes off the person in the back seat of the blue car, "I only have a chance to die with Xellos, in there, with that person, I WILL die."
"But Lina, that's your-"
"I know, I"ll see you areound Gourry." She crawled back into the hummer and it sped off down the road, music blaring.
Gourry smiled as he heard the last piece of nervous conversation between Lina and the girl who sat next to her in that car.
"He's cute! Is he single?"
"No." *** A/N: hey, u like? hope so, this is an a/u just in case ya haven't figured that from the top and the description. reviews are always welcome!
**don't own any characters from slayers, and don't own the songs from trapt. you all should listen, they're really good, unless u don't like them...
