Popstar Mayhem

Chapter Nine!

A/N:…LAST CHAPTER!!!! YAY! I'm gonna finish a stoooorrrryyyyy! (Does a happy, demented dance.) woot woot! Cause for celebration, people. This will be the first story I've finished! Except for One-shots, and they don't count. :D (oh, and the brain teaser from last chapter, :'(, I lost the book with it in it, demo it had to do with the Chinese Zodiac. Gomen!)

'What…happened? Where am I? This bed definitely isn't mine. It's just too comfortable. Wait, wait, wait! What is going on?!

She cracked a ruby eye open and immediately slammed it shut. 'The sun is bloody bright, so it can't be anytime in the morning. Luna never lets me sleep late, so…oh, no…oh, no, no, no, no, no! Zelgadis you are so gonna hear it!'

Ignoring the bandaged wrapped around her arm, Lina shot into a sitting position. The blood rushed into her head and she quickly layback down, wincing.

A soft, tenor chuckle came from a corner of the room.

"Having trouble, are you, Lina?"

"Go away, Zelgadis! I don't want to deal with you right now!"

"I'm afraid I can't do that. You see, this is where I live and it's very rude for a guest to order the landlord around, don't you think? Besides, you're hurt and someone has to take care of you."

"So send in Sylphiel or something. I know they all live here." Lina glared at him, slowly sitting up. He walked over to her and smiled gently, propping her up with an arm. "What do you think you're doing?!" She cried.

"Helping you sit up, of course. What does it look like I'm doing? Eating live crabs?" an image of Zelgadis attempting to eat a crab, which was hanging from his nose, popped into her head and she giggled.

"I don't need any help!"

"Yes you do, your arms broken, in case you hadn't noticed…"

"The other one isn't."

"Do you really have to be this stubborn? Aren't you hungry?" One side of Zelgadis's mouth twisted up even higher from his perpetual smile. She stopped struggling and turned to him completely, searching his eyes.

She looked completely serious and it seemed as if she was about to say the most important thing in the world.

"Where is it?" slightly lost, Zelgadis cocked his head to the side and creased his brow.

"Where is what?"

"The food, you fool, what else would I be talking about?!"

"Oh…" silence reigned. "So you are hungry?" if she could have face-faulted, she would have.

"When am I not?"

"Good point." He stayed where he was, holding her up with one arm. Silence.

"Are you going to feed me or not?" she cried.

"On one condition." She looked at him warily.

"What is it?"

"You have to agree, first."

"Would you just feed me? I'm not stupid enough to blindly agree with you!" her stomach growled loudly, voicing its opinion.

"You have to agree!" Zelgadis smirked. He had this one in the bag; there was no way she could win this argument.

'It can't be too bad…can it?' her stomach broke through her thoughts. "Fine." She growled.

He smiled widely, clearing gloating.

"What?"

"Oh, nothing, nothing." He laid her back on the bed and left the room, returning before she could get bored.

He brought in a tray and set it on a small table. Piling up pillows behind Lina, Zelgadis placed her in a sitting position and turned back to the food.

"What is it?" Lina asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.

"Soup, crackers, soup, water, and more soup."

"No meat?!"

"You're an invalid. Invalid's don't get anything but easily chewable items."

"My foot!" She cried incredulously. "I'm no invalid, I'm perfectly fine."

"Maybe, maybe not. Now, stop throwing a temper tantrum and behave." He turned around and held out the spoon.

"You are not feeding me! I am perfectly able to feed myself!"

"But you agreed to let me. You said it yourself, so open wide." He grinned wickedly.

"When did I agree to let you feed me? I never said any-" he took the opportunity to shove the spoonful into her mouth.

"Of course you did. Just a moment ago, it was the condition. I get to take care of you!" she swallowed and stared at him in realization. A slight blush turned her cheeks pink.

'What did I do to deserve this?"

O.o

Done! So what did you think? Did you guys like it? Was it okay? I'm sorry, I'm just so nervous! I seem to be losing reviewers, am I doing something wrong? Is my writing bad? Well…it's over now! I'm glad you enjoyed it, if you did, and I'm sorry if you didn't.

Review and tell me? Please?

Ja ne!
