Chapter 19

I Hate You

"Y'know what? I hate you." Lina twisted her neck around as far as she could to glare at Gourry, who squeaked under her icy stare. "I just planned on going for a walk around in Inu-Yasha's forest and decided to ask you to come, despite your tendency to get into trouble. Everything's goin' fine, 'till YOU decide you wanna try and catch that stupid butterfly. You run off, I chase after you, and NOW look where we are!"

Gourry looked.

"It's not so bad," he said a bit nervously.

"NOT SO BAD?!?!? WE'RE TIED TO A LOG BY GIANT SPIDERWEBS, HANGING OVER A GIANT WATERFALL, AND EITHER THAT SPIDER'S GONNA COME BACK TO EAT US, OR WE'LL FALL TO OUR DEATH, WHICH EVER ONE HAPPENS FIRST!!!!" She gasped, out of air.

"Well," Gourry said, optimistically, "it could be worse- it could be raining."

Thunder clapped overhead as the cloudless, blue sky suddenly turned overcast, and it started to pour.

"I hate you so much."

"At least the log's sturdy though, that's something go-"

CRACK!

"I hate you," Lina said simply, as they and the log they were tied to fell towards the river.

"I already know that, Lina."

"So? I still hate you."

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."

Lina glared at him, worked one of her hands free, grabbed her last words (So? I still hate you) out of the air, and hit Gourry over the head with them repeatedly.

"Ow. that hurt." Gourry shook his head to stop the multitudes of talking rocks named Bob from circling it, and looked down at the waterfall that was steadily rushing closer. "So. now what?"

"Don't look at me, I'm just inventing slow, painful ways to kill you."

"Oh. right."

As the two kids fell, the giant spider sat in the river at the bottom of the waterfall, playing with his rubber ducky and singing to himself as he scrubbed his back.

"Rubber ducky, you're the one, You make bath time so muc-ow," he proclaimed as the log fell on his head and knocked him out.

"Whew," Gourry said, wriggling out of his bonds. "At least that spider was there to break the fall. what?"

"I hate you."

"Can't you think of anything more original to say, or is your vocabulary extremely limited today?"

Lina glared at him again.

"Alright. Je deteste Gourry. Happy now?"

"Um, Lina, that's exactly the same thing, just in French."

"Shut up."

"Okay, okay. um.by the way, did you notice we seem to floating into a giant whirlpool."

Lina blinked.

"I hate you."

"Too bad I popped my portable instant kayak last week," Gourry mused thoughtfully as he and Lina spun around.

The two of them were pulled closer towards the heart of the whirlpool. Suddenly Gourry noticed Lina wasn't talking and didn't seem to be moving much either.

"Lina?"

"."

"Lina?!"

Lina turned and looked at him coldly. Immediately before they were pulled under the dark, swirling water, Gourry heard a voice.

"I hate you."

AN- Hi! I've decided to put in a dilemma! Everyone's gonna have to save Lina and Gourry! Mwahahahahahahaha! I'm takin' ideas on what should happen to them, where they'll be, and what kind of trouble they'll get themselves and the group into! Gimme ideas and I'll try to use all of them!
