Chapter 7
Hi! You're right Ysengrinn, It would draw attention, I should of elaborated that, and I also should of pointed out that Fi came out after they entered the town, I'm sorry for not being so specific, Gomen! Ysengrinn, I'm sorry about the misspelling of angels in my other story, please forgive me, but I fixed it! Thank you for the compliment, I'm glad you like my skills! Now, enough chat! On to chapter seven!
~**************~
The next few hours were quite interesting. It was filled with idle chatting within the group, aside from Lina, who was busying herself with throwing peas at her brother.
"So, basically, all I did was cast a minor sleep spell on them and the battle was won." Seiya finished telling the story of how he escaped the bandits.
"That was very interesting, but what did they want with Lina?" Zelgadis asked as he sipped his coffee. Elkin, having no interest in stories, had wandered off to play with Spitfire.
Seiya shook his head, causing his bangs to bounce. "Not sure, they really didn't give any specific information. And would you please stop that, Lina?" Seiya demanded turning to his sister. Lina shook her head stubbornly and threw this time a piece of chicken at him. Seiya ducked and it hit Amelia, who then dipped her hand in her mashed potatoes and threw a decent sized glop back at Lina, who managed to dodge it. It hit Elkin in the back of the head, who took a piece of it and threw it back. It hit Zelgadis, who took some of Amelia's mashed potatoes and threw it back, but instead it hit Lina.
That's it, Food fight.
The rest of night was spent trying to dodge flying food and laughing their heads off. Lina leaned back in her chair, holding her stomach from laughing so hard. Fi had gone to hide somewhere where she wouldn't get hit, and the others were completely covered in food.
"Well," Elkin said, trying to control his laughter. Even Zelgadis was laughing fairly heavily, which was truly scary. "You certainly are an interesting experience, Miss Inverse. Now, if you'll all excuse me." He the turned and left for the Inn he was staying at.
"He's got the right idea, it's getting late," Zelgadis pointed out. "We should find an Inn to stay at for the night."
Everyone agreed and headed out to find an Inn, after finding Fi and convincing her it was okay to come out. They eventually settled on a fairly cheap but still tolerable place that was close to the fields that boarder the area. They all left for some sleep, aside from Lina and Fi, who both went to get a nice bath.
"Now, this is nice, isn't it Fi?" Lina asked, not bothering with her telepathic form of communication. No one was around, so there was no one to hear them. Lina gently slid into the hot water, relaxing as she did so. She motioned for Fi to join her, who happily accepted.
-The water is warm- Fi admitted, looking up at her mommy. After the first few days, Fi began to look at Lina as her adopted mother, and in turn called her so.
"See, I told you." Lina teased, and then set to work on cleaning the baby dragon. That was not an easy task. Dirt was constantly getting in-between her scales, making it hard to give her a thorough cleaning with out hurting her.
-Why was it that you and Papa Zel were throwing food, mommy? – The young kit inquired. Despite Lina's constant arguing, Fi continued on using the term Papa Zel instead of just Zel.
"Well, that's something we do for fun sometimes." Lina answered, checking the kit's wings.
-Throwing food is considered fun for you? I don't think I'll ever understand you humans- Lina laughed and stood up.
"You don't have to understand us, just live with us without taking our heads off."
-Oh, gee, and I was beginning to think that it would have been fun- Spitfire said with more than a little sarcasm. Lina shook her head she changed into her nightgown.
"Okay, that's it, you've been hanging around me too much. Time for bed." Lina walked over and picked up Fi. They both went to Lina's room and laid down for a goodnights rest.
"Night Fi." Lina said as she began to drift off.
-Night mommy-

Okay, I know it was short, but I didn't want to much to happen in this chapter, the next should be longer and a little more true to the genre.
