Chibi-Lina

Note: I don't own any of the characters in slayers, I'm not making any profit off this story and if I did I'd be very very lucky lol. K here's the story.

**piku piku... piku piku...** "Where did Amelia go?" Asked Gourry curriously. Everyone sweatdropped at the comment. "Gourry, Amelia just teleported into the past to get a copy of the philosophers stone to save Lina ya DOLT!" Said Zelgadis aggravatedly.

Amelia felt soft winds and saw time travel back into the past. It was so amazing, the soft breeze made Amelia relax as the speed of time got faster and then she landed under a stack of hay. 'What is this? I'm under a bunch of hay, maybe I should get out to see where I am." Thought Amelia. She climbed up to the top of the hay stack, looked down on her and saw Lina and Gourry talking while Lina was analyzing the Orihalcon statue. She quickly ducked back down into the hay. 'I can't let them see me' she thought. She heard Lina shuffling in the hay stack as she hid the Orihalcon statue right in front of Amelia. 'What luck. All I need now is the potion and to cast a spell. I just have to be carefull not to make any noise.' she took out the bottle with the silver liquid. she grabbed the cork to pull it and it made a popping noise. "Say Gourry did ya hear anything?" said Lina, "Hear something? I was looking at that cloud, it looks like a chicken wing!" "My god youre right! It does look like a chicken wing!!!" Lina and Gourry were staring in awe.... at the cloud that looked like a chicken wing. 'Whew. I swear I thought she's gonna look back here. alright well lets pour the potion on' thought Amelia as she carefully poured the silver liquid on the Orihalcon statue. the potion was just enough and covered the whole statue and made it look like the statue was made of silver. 'K time to cast the spell. Sweet mother of earth, in my hands I hold and item wtich I want to be created once more. Bring thy power into my hands and create one more. Duplicate!' then the statue lifted from her hand and the statue streched. It ripped appart and the silver disappeared. now she had two Orihalcon statues in her hand. She put one back where Lina hid it, and the other she put in her pouch, it was a good thing too because she was starting to fade. Then she disappeared.

"So Mr. Baka... What's to do today?" asked Lina anxiously. "Will you stop calling me that? And were not doing anything special anyways..." replied Rezo "Well with that kind of attitude I won't stop. Besides I..." Lina's words got cut off by something she saw. "Verinmdo..." She saw Vermindo walking by the forest path. He was a tall man, taller than Gourry, With long black braided hair, and wearing a red cloak. He was heading towards Sairaag. "I'll stop him before he even gets there!" Lina was about to cast a Dragon Slave but Rezo grabbed her hand and stopped her. "Lina, you may be able to do magic even though your dead, but that dosen't mean that if you kill someone you can stay dead for good." said Rezo "WHAT?! So your saying if I kill him I can't come back to life?!!!!!" "Yep, that pretty much adds up to it" Lina sweatdropped, she didn't want to stay dead so she let Vermindo go. But she knew the moment she gets back to life, there won't be any time for fun and games.

Amelia reappeared at the Sairaag shrine. She popped up from nowhere and fell on the floor. "OW!" "I see the little princess is back." Said Zelgadis as he sipped on his coffee. "I got it!!!" Gorry and stepped into the room, Sylphiel started making preperations for the final potion, Gourry clueless as usual asked "Where were you Amelia, it was like you disappeared into thin air and stuff...mmm... OOooh look! Food!!" Gourry saw the kichen table and started to chow down. "So do you have the stone?" asked Sylphiel. Amelia went into her pouch and took out the Orihalcon statue. She handed it over to Sylphiel. "Alright now it's time to bring Lina home!!"

Sylphiel locked herself into the room where Lina's body was, she was there for a few hours, it was almost dark, Sylphiel just added the final spell to bring Lina to life. She the nopened the door and Gourry was sitting beside the door on the floor, waiting for Sylphiel to come out. when he heard the door creak open he looked at Sylphiel with a face asking for hope. Sylphiel just smiled "Lina's going to be okay, just give it a few more hours and she'll wake up." Gourry got up and hugged Sylphiel "Thank you Sylphiel, you don't know how much this means to me." Sylphiel felt a teardrop fall on her shoulder. She sighed and said "Go see Lina, she's going to wake up soon." Gurry let go of Sylphiel, smiled, then went into the room where Lina was. He pulled up a chair beside her bed. He looked at her pale face, so lifeless, so empty, he ran his fingers across her cheek 'She's still so pretty' he thought. He hasn't come in to Lina's room ever since she died, witch made him even more upset. He slowly fell asleep on his chair with his head layed down on the bed, using his arms as a pillow.

Lina was once again floating around town when she felt a wierd buzz, she looked at her hands, they were slowly starting to fade "The time is here Lina." said Rezo. Lina turned around "what's happening to me?" "Your going back to life, you just have to let your soul go back." said Rezo, then he continued "But before you go I want you to have this." He tosseh Lina a small bottle. before Lina asked Rezo just said "Give it to Zelgadis, He'll thank you for it" Lina smiled and said "thanks Mr...umm... Rezo. well I guess it's time for me to go." "Goodbye Lina, Gourry is waiting for you." Lina blushed but she just said "Bye bye! I'll be back in a few decades!" she then let herself go. she faded and disappeared.

Lina slowlo opened her eyes, everything at first was a blur.Then she blinked. now she saw everything. 'It worked, I'm alive' She thought. she felt someone at her side, she looked over and saw Gourry asleep. With a smile she gently shook Gourry "Gourry... Gourry... come on, wake up... Gourry..." Gourry slowly heard something. "Lina? Is that you?"
