Soul Catcher Chapter 5 - Romance

By: Chibi-Lina

Gourry looked up slowly. He saw Lina look at him with a deep smile and tears trickling down her cheeks. She flew stright into his arms. Finally, everything felt like it was perfect. For a few minutes they were in silence, Gourry sighed in relief and looked at Lina. "Lina.... Thank god your back." "It's good to be back Gourry, I missed you so much, just the fact that I was dead, and not being with you... I know before I died I told you something, but at that moment I regretted saying it so late... Gourry... I... I" "Shhh..." Gourry gently placed a finger on her lips. "Lina... I know, I love you too." Lina with a smile on her face, passionatley kissed Gourry, hot tears were streaming down her face. She felt Gourry wrap his arms around her waist. Outside the room though, we had an evesdropper.

Amelia had a glass to the door trying to listen to everything that was going on unaware that Zelgadis was right behind her. "You know Amelia, evesdropping is very rude." she blushed and dropped the glass she was holding, it didn't break but it clanked on the floor. She slowly turned around with ehr beet-red face, then enthusiasticall said "Oh I didn't realize you were here!" "Of course I am. In case you forgot, I'm travelling around with you guys too." Amelia got aggravated "Well you don't have to be so mean." "Well I'm sorry princess that I'm not up to your expectations." He went up to Amelia, lifted up her chin, and lightly kissed her on the lips, and then walked away. She turned beet red again. She touched her lip. Zelgadis kissed her, 'I never would have thought he would do that' she thought. She then walked outside.

"...and then I woke up now." Lina just finished telling Gourry what happened to her after she died, she was sitting in Gourry's lap while he had his arms wrapped around her. It felt so good for her to be alive again. "So what do you think Rezo gave Zel?" "I don't know, but it should be something good, I mean Zelgadis is his grandson." Lina then yawned. "As much as I would like to do some stuff, I'm really tierd." "Alright, want me to show you to your room?" Gourry asked. "Actually.... Gourry... Is it alright if I stay with you tonight? I'm just kinda paranoid right now, and I'm affraid Vermindo might come after me." Gourry looked a bit shocked, but then smiled, he took Lina by the hand and led her to his room.

Amelia was sitting down and leaning back on the stone house where the shrine maiden lives in. She was staring up at the moonlight sky, thinking back to what just happened feels like it's happening over and over again. She couldn't get it out of her head. Did Zel actually have feelings for her? Or did he just do that to shut her up. She didn't understand, but when he kissed her, she had this wild rush come over her, it fekt like everything was just perfect. Or maybe she was just going way over her head. This was getting complicated. she was about to get up and go in. "Amelia." that stopped her. She looked over her shoulder and saw Zelgadis "Oh... Hi Zel..." that was the first time she wasn't formal to him. It felt kind of akward, but in a way releaving. Zelgadis walked over to where she was and placed his hands on her shoulders. "It's really nice out tonight isn't it?" "Yea... it is. Amelia was getting redder by the minute. "Well anyways, I'm going to bed. Goodnight Amelia." "Goodnight Zel." He then turned Amelia around, cupped her face into his hands, and deeple kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck. He slowly stopped, hugged Amelia and whispered into her ear "Goodnight my little princess" he then went back into the house. Amelia was in shock once again. But not shocked enough not to like it. It felt like she was dreaming this whole thing up and she was gonna wake up any minute. She then went back into the house too to get ready for bed.

Sylphiel was in the main room of the house when Zelgadis went in, right away she asked him "Sooo... how did it go?" "Well, that actually went really, really well. She wasn't complaning or anything." Sylphiel smiled "Good." "Well I'm beat. I'm going to bed." "Goodnight Zelgadis." He left the room.

While Lina died, and they were in search for the philosophers stone, Sylphiel pointed out Zelgadis that he has a liking to Amelia. Him knowing that Sylphiel is a phsycic he admitted it, he's been planning to do this for the past few days, he realized that this time was perfect to go through with it. He decided to tell Amelia everything the next day.

Sylphiel cleaned up the main room and everyone was now at a peacefull slumber...

end chapter 5!!!

Unfortunatley I had a minor writers block so this took me longer then normal to write. From this chapter on I will try to update once every one or two weeks because after going through my reviews, I realized that it was pretty pointless to do the whole "5 review thing" I would still like to get some comments on the story as I keep writing. the story is almost finished and I will see you the next chapter!
