7. Chapter Seven

~ A/N: Gomen for how long this one took! It being so small and all. Things came up, like exiting exams and then the SAT's... I've been really busy lately. Give or take a few days and chapter eight will be up. Also, this chapter is dedicated to my friend, Sami, for reasons she all ready knows. Enjoy! ~

Chapter Seven.

Monday, the week after the Date from Hell, Lina and Amelia had been partnered for a project, yet, at Lina's house, they didn't have all the supplies. The -only- way they seemed to be able to finish the project was to go to the nearest store, which was down the street.

Lina slumped in her seat and slammed her head against the kitchen table, emitting an exasperated sigh. This was boring. Projects bored her. But damn, she still had to go through with it. "Store, here we come..." She paused for a moment and blinked, "Oi... maybe we can buy some candy while we're there, too!" ... By 'some', she practically implied every candy item in the store itself.

Amelia shrugged as she stood up, "Well it's not so bad, we'll get exercise! Oh, candy would give us more energy to work on the project..."

Luna had suddenly appeared in the kitchen. "Lina! While you're there, get us this." She handed Lina an exceedingly long list, along with fifty dollars. "And don't you dare spend that on anything else." She hissed, and went back to her room. The store, which she worked at, was still under inspection for where the poison had come from, so Luna only worked mornings now.

Lina lifted her head up and grasped the items, sweat dropping massively. "Great..." Her shoulders slumped as she examined the list briefly--but quickly, her gaze was diverted to the money, and then to Amelia. "Oi..." Lina smirked that smirk that wasn't always the best smirk in the world--the smirk that implied that she was smirking for something that was worth smirking for. "... Ne, Ameliaa! Think you can show off that you're the mayor's daughter so we can get this stuff for free? I'll save the money... for... something else. Yep."

Amelia sweat dropped as she glanced at the list; "Can you buy all that for only fifty dolla-" She stopped as she heard what Lina said. "Absolutely not, Lina-san! It's not the same as it used to be, just because my daddy is the mayor doesn't mean he's -that- rich. Besides, I don't think I could get a discount for that, and it's not just anyway!"

Lina huffed childishly and moved off her seat, "Awe, c'mon Amelia! Just this once... I need the money for something!!" She said this with a frown, attempting to look genuinely honest. Though, she wasn't--this was the perfect opportunity to keep this money and she really didn't want to waste it. Money was money... and money for her equaled true love. "Pleaaase?!"

Amelia crossed her arms in front of her chest and shook her head. "Imagine how unfair it would be to everyone else! They have to work hard to earn the money to buy stuff from the store, and then we get some stuff for free just because my daddy has a certain job? And I don't think it qualifies for a discount!"

Lina twitched. Damn... this isn't working... She decided to try her trump card, simply hoping Amelia could not resist. Lina placed the money and list onto the table and clasped her hands together and stood in front of the shorter girl, her eyes becoming voluminous and watery. "Oh please, Amelia! It's for Gourry!"

Amelia's posture became a little less stiff, but she gave Lina a wary look. "What do you need for Gourry-san?"

Lina began 'sniffling' as she pressed the back of her hand against her forehead, twirling around in a dramatic pose where her back faced Amelia. "It's been sooo long since I've got him something! Ever since that incident with Xelloss... I just want to give him something special! Something to make him know how much I loooove hiiim...!!" Of course, while saying this, she was getting quite crimson and twitchy, one of the reasons WHY she had turned around.

Amelia's eye became wobbly at the 'drama' of it all. "Well... In that case, Okay! If it's for the love of you and Gourry-san!"

Lina grinned briefly and 'fixed' her expression. She turned back around immediately with such an adorable, morose and grateful face as she grabbed Amelia's hands. "Oh, thank you Amelia! You don't know how much it means for the both of us!!"

Amelia beamed, "Well I am a champion of love and justice! Now lets go, before the store closes!"

And so, the two finally got out of the house, and headed down. It took them about thirty minutes to reach the store and when they entered it was rather empty.

Lina sneered to herself, placing a hand on her hip. "Empty store means no line at the cash register! And that means... there's gonna be more candy than there is when the place is packed... heheheee."

Amelia sweat dropped, "Lina-san are you going to get -anything- on Luna-san's list?"

Lina Inverse blinked innocently. "Of course. If I don't... well, I'm losing a limb."

There seemed to be some kind of shuffling in the nearest isle, which happened to be the candy section, yet the couldn't see clearly.

Amelia stepped into the isle but looked behind her at Lina. "What else do we need to get besides the candy?"

Lina shrugged, shoving the list in her pocket. "Ahh, don't worry. We'll get it--..." Upon hearing the noises from the section... she twitched. "Someone's... stealing my candy... THIS MEANS WAR!"

The individual continued to shuffle, murmuring aloud to themselves as the snatched random items and shoved it into their halfway full cart of food.

Amelia put her hands up, trying to calm Lina. "Lina-san they can't possibly take all the candy!" She turned around to enter the isle. She stopped to blink at the individual.

Lina snorted. "They better. Because that's what I'M gonna do!" And so, the temperamental redhead began storming over towards the individual. "Oi..."

The individual continued on towards them, and when they got close enough, they merely shoved Amelia and Lina onto their cart, continuing to grab snacks and put them on their laps. "I need some of this... this.... That, some more of that... couple of these... some of this... that... Lina, Amelia... This... th-..."

Amelia gained a large sweat drop when she was shoved onto the cart. "Wait! Who are you and how do you know our names!?"

Lina sweat dropped also, and simply attempted to stuff the small snacks into her pocket. "Uhm, yeah! What she said--who the hell are you?"

The man stood up straight, and took off the hood, and dusted himself off, along with smoothing back his hair. His facial expression clearly had wrinkles and other sorts to show his age, and he gazed down at the two girls, raising a bushy golden eyebrow. "I knew it."

Amelia stared at him while still sitting in the cart. She blinked a few times to make sure she was seeing correctly. "M-Milgasia-san!?"

Lina stared blankly and dropped a snack upon her lap, her eyes widening considerably. "Mil... gasia??"

Milgasia gazed at the snacks, and quickly snatched them off their laps, setting them behind the two girls. With that done, he helped them down, and gave a nod to them both.

Amelia continued to stare, "Milgasia-san?!" She repeated, then lowered her voice. "You're still alive!"

Lina tilted her head to the side, still a bit astonished. "We shouldn't be surprised... he IS a ryuuzoku, after all..." Blinking repeatedly, her lips then curled upward to form a grin. "Nice seeing you're still around though! I forgot all about you... ehe."

Milgasia stared at Amelia, and blinked. He shrugged it off, and gazed to Lina. "Which... is to be expected. But I still knew it was wrong that you all died." He murmured; a frown on his rather old face.

Amelia finally stopped staring. "I know... it's just a little weird seeing people from the past that aren't reincarnated..."

Lina wrinkled her nose and scratched the back of her head, shrugging her shoulders casually. "Hm. Guess you're right, Milgasia. I didn't die rich."

It was now Milgasia's turn to stare... at Lina, allowing a diminutive sweat drop to appear on the side of his cranium. He shook his head slowly, and just began grabbing a few more handfuls of different candies.

Amelia blinked, "Is that it? We're just going to say hi after hundreds of years then continue shopping!?"

Lina sweat dropped and grabbed Amelia's shoulder, squeezing it a bit tightly as she began twitching, muttering between clenched teeth. "Urusai... you KNOW it's not intelligent to speak rudely to a ryuuzoku...!" She cleared her throat and chuckled nervously, patting Amelia's back a bit too violently. "Ignore her! Anyway... Milgasia, can you answer me a question?"

Milgasia merely continued on grabbing some more snacks and putting them in his cart. "Hm?"

Amelia nearly fell over each time that Lina 'patted' her. "Gomen! I uhm... just think of Milgasia-san as more of a friend than a ryuuzoku!"

Lina simply placed Amelia in a headlock, beginning to give her multiple noogies. "Uhm... ever since I've gotten my memories back, something's really irked me... whatever happened to the trolls? Lesser demons? Elves? Ryuuzoku? Every other creature--and MAGIC?"

The ryuuzoku paused in his movements, and gazed at the two girls. He blinked a few times, and remained silent, as if gathering all of that knowledge that he hadn't thought of in quite a long time. "If you really wish to know... I suppose I'll tell you..." Again, he sweat dropped at them, stuffing the last of his items into the cart and began to push it away. "But not here, of course..."

Amelia tried to squirm free of Lina's grip. She stopped her squirming to ask, "Where? Oh Zelgadis and Gourry-san will want to know too..."

Lina released Amelia and followed him quickly. "Alright... where, though?"

He came up to the cash register, and watched as the man began to scan the items. "Somewhere away from people."

Amelia couldn't help but wonder if Milgasia had gone a little senile, he was being awfully vague...

Lina nodded slowly, temporarily neglecting the reason on why they have arrived at the store anyway. "Alright... but where ever we go, we need to pick up Gourry and Zel."

Milgasia bought all he had to, went out, followed by the two girls, and unloaded his items in the back of a car. He let them in, and got into the driver's seat, quickly beginning to drive off, when he gazed at them from his mirror. "Where do they live?"

"I'm not really sure where Gourry-san lives... Zelgadis-san lives at a shrine."

Lina simply pointed out instructions towards Gourry's household. "Oi, Amelia... do you think the guy's remember what happened with that one incident?"

Milgasia headed in that direction though he did began to snack on some random candy bar he had brought from the back.

"What incident, Lina-san? You mean the one with Gaav?"

Lina sweat dropped. "Nani? No. The Cheerleader incident." She scratched her cheek--and then noticed what Milgasia was munching on. "Mind sharing?" she asked ever so innocently, holding an opened hand out.

Milgasia seemed to... pout? He slowly reached in, and took out a candy bar, tossing it back at her, muttering as he continued nibbled on another candy bar.

Amelia sweat dropped at both of them. "Yes, I remember that! You know, they never did receive their fair punishment..."

Lina smiled childishly and immediately unwrapped the candy bar, munching on it mirthfully. "Ne, don't worry! I'm already coming up for some revenge..." And that, coming from her was definitely NOT a good thing... who the hell knows what she could be plotting?

Milgasia didn't bother asking, instead, he just pulled up alongside the house, gazing over at it. The car that Amelia and Lina stole was parked in the front, and two blondes were digging around in the soft soil of the garden. Gourry was wearing an old white shirt, with blue jeans, both ripped and rather dirty. His mother was in a summer-time dress with a hat on her head, working contently.

Amelia looked at the car, she couldn't help but think it bore an uncanny resemblance to the one they stole. She just stayed in the car, deciding to let Lina take care of getting Gourry.

Lina diverted her attention to the car--and suddenly froze in her position... staring, and staring blankly with skill. Could that be... nah! No way... Gourry's mom would never be THAT stupid to leave her keys inside the car anyway! Oh, how she was wrong. She opened the car door quickly and scrambled out of the vehicle, nibbling on the candy bar. "Oiii, Gourry!"

Gourry didn't seem to hear, or notice and just continued what he was doing.

As luck would have it, sadly, Gourry's brother popped out of the car, and stared at Lina. "She came to be with me!" He squealed, and started running towards her... but tripped over a tree root. Gourry's mother stood up, and blinked at Lina. "Why, hello again, dear!"

Lina ignored the annoyance that was unfortunately Gourry's younger sibling and finished off her candy, waving over to the woman. "Oiiii!"

Gourry stood up and turned, blinking. "Lina?"

The woman was about to say something, when Milgasia interrupted. "Hurry up!" He didn't seem very happy being here.

Lina sweat dropped a little at Milgasia's holler. She gazed over her shoulder quickly, twitching. "Oi, calm down, will ya?!" Lina emitted an exasperated sigh and strolled over towards Gourry. "Yuup! I... neeeeeeed you to come with me somewhere."

Gourry just blinked. "Er... okay."

Gourry's mother went back to working on the garden. Gourry's little brother sat up and watched. "I'll get you one day, my pretty!" He had muttered to himself.

Lina was about to drag him off to the car, until she stopped herself, twitching. "'Scuse me for a moment..." she hissed a little and stomped towards his brother... and stepped on his head. "Go rot somewhere! ... I'm done." That was her little mini-revenge for that damned incident.

After the yelp from his brother, Lina grabbed Gourry and dragged him to the car. Milgasia then drove off and when they reached the shrine, stopped and shoved his sixth candy bar into his mouth. "Just grab and run." He muttered, still rather annoyed.

Amelia sweat dropped at Milgasia, how could he eat so much candy? She merely nodded and stepped out of the car. She then began the long process of walking up the stairs. Rezo and Zelgadis were in the shrine, and Rezo was lecturing about how to be a priest. Zelgadis was in the blue priest robes that his grandfather had got him a year ago.

Zelgadis was, surprisingly, listening to Rezo without being bored, his arms crossed and nodding once in a while.

Amelia had made it up one set of stairs, then began walking across the yard only to encounter another set of stairs. It took a while before she finally made it to where Zel and Rezo were. "Uhm... Rezo-san, can Zelgadis-san come with me?"Rezo stopped, and blinked. "Eh? We're rather busy right now..."

Zelgadis looked behind him and blinked, raising an eyebrow at her.

Amelia didn't know what to tell Rezo, he certainly wouldn't know who Milgasia was. "It's really important!"

Rezo shook his head, turning his back to them. "This is more important."

Zelgadis looked between to the two as they talked, sweat dropping slightly at the fact he hadn't even said anything.

Amelia couldn't really think of a way to explain it... So she just edged towards Zel until she finally grabbed Zel by the arm and started running towards the car.

There was a yelp from Rezo, when he noticed his grandson was gone, Milgasia started up the car when he seen them coming, and when they got in, quickly drove off. The gang arrived at a cave, far off from the city, where he stopped and took them into it.

Lina made sure to stay close behind Milgasia, scrunching her nose. I gotta go pee...

Zelgadis had been fussing a lot, and generally complaining through the whole drive to himself. Now however, he was settling to simply being busy in keeping his robes clean while following.

Amelia followed behind Zel. She glanced back and forth at the cave walls as she walked. "Sorry for taking you away from your lesson, but this is really important! I think..." She apologized for about the fifth time.

Gourry yawned, scratching the side of his head, with one hand stuffed into his pocket, gazing around.

Milgasia led them to a very large part of the cave, where a few stools were placed, along with a single bed, which he sat on as he slumped his shoulders. "Sit down." He ordered to the gang. "And if you touch and break anything..." He hesitated in finishing it, deciding to just give them all a glower instead.

Lina gulped nervously and complied with his demand. Of course, she HAD to... he WAS a golden ryuuzoku after all. She placed her hands on her lap, fidgeting uncomfortably for one reason or another. Man. I really need to pee... "So... this... is where you live?"

Zelgadis tched lightly, glancing behind him to Amelia, "It better be." He retorted, before sitting down as told to near the back of the area, waiting boredly.

Amelia sat down on one of the stools. "I'm sure Rezo-san will understand once you explain it to him!" She wasn't really afraid of Milgasia's threats, not that she intended to touch anything. Sure he was a golden ryuuzoku, but he was also their friend! ...Right?

Gourry plopped down beside Lina, blinking a few times.

Rubbing his head, Milgasia opened an eye and focused on Lina. "What would you like me to explain first?"

Lina ceased her fidgeting--for a moment, at least, and frowned. "Well... I'm curious. I mean... I KNOW the world wasn't as... human packed as it is now..." she blinked a few times, "And since your still here... gah, wait... just to make it simple... what happened to the mazoku? Elves? Trolls? Werewolves? Dragons? All of them?"

Zelgadis had been about to reply to Amelia, before Lina asked her question. Now he listened intently, wanting to know the answer to this as well.

Amelia turned in her seat so she could see well. She was also curious about that.

Gourry leaned back after Lina asked, hands behind his head, and closed his eyes. Might as well sleep, since he wasn't really interested in it, and usually these things take a long time.

Milgasia's eyebrow rose, before he nodded, and cleared his throat. "As you know, ever since the defeat of Hellmaster and Maryuu-ou, they have access to the outside world. After their deaths, the outside world and the usual subcontinent interacted quite a lot. New possibilities appeared because there were some valuable items and resources discovered from one another. Eventually, mankind began showing massive interest in the artificial technology of science, and began gradually neglecting the magic people have studied for so long.

"Other kingdoms, countries, states, dukedoms, etc, etc from the outside world were afraid of the destructive magic they were introduced to. In fear, they began to retaliate against the subcontinent and a war eventually broke out. Not everyone in the subcontinent could understand magic, and the ones that did fought back, but eventually lost when they were outnumbered by such an army." He paused.

Lina quirked a brow as her fidgeting returned slightly, straightening her position. "A war... Hm. Never heard about that... keep going."

Zelgadis merely nodded in agreement with Lina.

Amelia resisted the urge to say, "That's horrible!" She opted to just nod instead.

Milgasia continued, though he sweat dropped slightly at the snores emitting from Gourry. "Besides, they only have a certain level of magical capacity and can't keep on forever. The mazoku decided to keep out of it. They were completely amused about it, and didn't give a damn if the ningen race destroyed them. The ryuuzoku are neutral and decided to stay out of it; it wasn't their business.

"Though they'd only retaliate if the ningen tried anything against them, but the ryuuzoku made that clear. After centuries, the mythical creatures like elves, dwarfs, etc, etc isolated them on another half of the world to be separate from the new era. Though, ryuuzoku whom have the ability to take a perfect humanoid form do roam the half where the ningen inhabit, but they never would reveal their true form, since the ningen there would panic frantically." Again, he paused.

Lina emitted a soft sigh, "Well, that's logical." She shifted a little, "None of us could of expected everyone to become accustomed to magic... but..." Lina hesitated, folding her arms across her chest. "Why aren't the mazoku doing anything... y'know, destructive?"

Zelgadis had placed his hand on his forehead throughout the explanation, his head bent down slightly, listening silently.

"... Do the humans know about the other half of the world??"

Milgasia shrugged to Amelia, and responded to Lina, after a thoughtful pause. "They haven't been spotted in years."

Lina Inverse nodded slowly and lowered her head for a moment, squirming in her seat. After a dramatic pause, she lifted her head with an exceedingly stern and determined expression. "One last question..."

Zelgadis sighed heavily, lowering his hand and looking up.

Amelia looked towards Lina. If her expression was that serious then it must be something important!

Milgasia blinked at Lina. "Go ahead."

"... Can I go to the bathroom?"

Zelgadis made a choked noise, his eyes reducing to dots as he glared at Lina.

Amelia paused, then fell onto the floor face first.

Milgasia copied Amelia.

Lina laughed nervously with a sweat drop, scratching the back of her head. "Aha! Ahaha... hah! Uhm... no, seriously... I... REALLY need to go..." And she continued squirming, blushing sheepishly.

Zelgadis continued to glare at her dully, his eyebrow twitching lightly.

Amelia twitched as she sat up.

Milgasia pushed himself up. "Go out of the cave and take a turn. There's bushes."

Lina hopped off the stool. "Hehe! Whoo, that's a reliever... thaaaank you!" She bowed respectively in front of the elder man and quickly sprinted off, leaving a dust cloud behind.

Zelgadis groaned lightly, smacking his forehead again.

When Lina found the bushes, a small squirrel was in the tree above her, and decided to follow, occasionally dropping something on or near her.

Lina began twitching. She wasn't immediately aware of what it was specifically, but she began growing quite irritated, annoyed and paranoid. "What the heck..."

The squirrel took a random acorn, and jumped onto a branch above Lina. However, the branch had been rather thin, and it snapped when it jumped and grabbed. The acorn fell and hit Lina on the head, while the squirrel managed to cling to another branch and hide.

Lina released a small, startled squeak; caressing her poor little head tenderly. "Oow... who the hell..." She emitted an inhuman snarl and gazed up, right at the squirrel.

The squirrel climbed onto higher branches, before slipping... falling... and landing on Lina's face.

Lina instinctively leaped back once the little critter came in contact with her face... but alas, she lost her balance and fell right on her back. "GYAH!"

The squirrel scrambled off her, and dove behind a bush, peeking out once it was calm.

Lina slowly pushed herself up, her face crimson in irritation. "Stupid... friggen'... squirrel..."

The squirrel's large sparkly eyes suddenly had hearts in them, as it's very small paws clasped together, and it's overly large head tilted to the side as it stared at Lina.

Lina stared.

The squirrel suddenly ran up to Lina and clung to her chest, canoodling her, squeaking all the while.

Lina sweat dropped massively and plucked the squirrel off her chest, staring at it with her eyes reduced to svelte lines. "... You GOTTA be kidding me."

The squirrel reached out to her, sniffling.

".... Shoo. I gotta pee."

... The squirrel's eyes brightened.

Lina placed the squirrel down and gradually stood up. "Shoo I say! Go back to wherever you came from."

It clung to her leg, looking up at her.

Lina began squirming. "GO! I really need to pee!"

The squirrel reluctantly let go and hurried off into the bushes.

Lina released a sigh of relief and scooted back a little. "Whooo..."

There was a few birds chirping, but besides that, absolute silence.

Lina hummed happily and began unbuttoning her pants. "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands! Whoo, whoo. If you're happy and you know it clap your hands..."

As Lina started to do her business, two large eyes spied on her from the bushes. There was a noise behind her, and then all went silent, including the birds.

Lina quickly finished nervously, buttoning her pants hurriedly. No one better be watching.. or there will be HELL to pay...

The squirrel ran forward and clung to Lina's leg again, squeaking like mad.

".... I was being spied on by a stupid SQUIRREL with the head twice the size of its BODY?!"

The squirrel climbed up her and perched itself onto her shoulder, applying squirrel kisses to her cheek. As that happened, another noise was heard directly in front of Lina.

Lina, this time, really didn't give a damn about the squirrel. She just diverted her attention right in front of her, "Wha?!"

Out of the large bushes came the familiar cheerleader who had started a fight with Lina on the first day of school. "They're all so CRAZY! I can get her expelled from school for being so insane!" She clicked play on the recorder, and then came the sound of Milgasia. "I can't waiiit!"

Lina blinked a few times dumbfounded momentarily. "What the..." And then came a snarl, "Oh... crap..."

The girl looked up and screeched at the sight of Lina, shoving the recorder back into her bag, and took off as fast as she could. The squirrel continued to cling and kiss Lina.

Lina smacked the squirrel away harshly with her hand, turning around to face the direction of the cave. "MINNA! GET YOUR ASSES OUT HERE!"

The squirrel, heart broken, ran home to its mammy. The group didn't come.

Lina didn't have the patience to await them. Damn slow people... Cracking her knuckles, Lina furiously stomped in, her head large with her fangs showing. "ROAAAR!"

In the cave they all sat, Milgasia was looking quite annoyed, and stood up when he saw Lina.

Zelgadis irked and turned around, a large sweat drop forming. "Ehhh?"

Amelia turned around with a sweat drop of her own. "Lina-san, what's wrong?"

Lina continued stomping, causing little 'earthquakes.' "What's wrong?! WHAT'S WRONG?! Well, guess WHAT?!" ... There was a pause, and then steam flew out of her nose. "Those little... RETARDED IDIOTS recorded Milgasia here, telling us what happened! THAT'S what!"

Milgasia blinked a few times. "I haven't a clue of what you're talking about, but even if someone hears it, I don't think they'd be believed."

Zelgadis irked again before hearing Milgasia, nodding slowly. "Probably anyone it would be shown to would think it was a hoax of some kind."

Amelia had backed up when Lina stomped forward. "Maybe... How did she find us hear anyway?"

Lina stomped over to an empty stool and picked it up over her head, aiming at Gourry... but not slamming it down. "I ain't taking any chances! Plus, this'll give me MORE of a reason to kill 'em!"

Zelgadis shook his head, sighing. "Which would get us in more trouble than anything."

Milgasia snatched the stool from Lina, glaring down at her. "This stool is very precious to me!" He hissed. Oh yes, very senile... "Don't worry about it. Anyway, I have something for you all."

Amelia nodded, "Zelgadis-san is right... But they still must be punished for what they have done! What?"

Lina blinked, freezing in her position all funny like. "Nani?"

Zelgadis blinked. "For us?"

He walked to the side of the cave, petting his stool. "Your weapons and old clothes."

~ A/N: In a day or so, chapter eight will be up. I know this is small... so I decided to fill up some more pages with answers to the reviews! Here goes!

Airi-chan: It's in my job description to be evil to them! After all, what would Slayers be without harassing the characters? However... the main plot will not be revealed until later chapters. But that doesn't mean the fic will be boring! It'll just keep you on your toes because there will be multiple hints towards it... (This goes to every reader!) There's and equal amount of AZ as there is LG, but this fic is more on the LG side, since I'm that much of a fan, but there will still be a lot of AZ!

Phizzy-chan: I don't think we'll name one of the puppies Phizzy, sorry! But thank you for offering! Well, it really depends on the player of my Zel in the fic. So... there could be a chance!

Lina Gabriev: Like said earlier to Airi, the plot with Xelloss won't come up until later chapters, and you have a few more chapters to wait before any REAL LG is there... it's hurting me by making it so long!

BlueJellyFish: You have a few more chapters to wait for more LG!

I think I answered everyone, if not, just ask again and I'll answer in chapter eight!

I should have done this before the story, but, eh... I'm unique!
