The Trio
Ramon: The sequel of To the end, but a little based on Naga and her family.
Sunny: The Slayers and all its characters don't belong to us, not even the story about the Seilune family; it belongs to Hajime Kanzaka and Rui Arazumi. We are just fans who like to make fan fics.
Maliska: only Air Jay and Kiko belong to us.
Alandra: we hope that you people can enjoy this new fic.

Chapter 13
------
After the battle against Brunou, Lim and his soldiers, Naga and the others installed themselves in another house, it is very difficult to chose considering the fact that most of the houses in the village are practically destroyed because of Naga and Air Jay, luckily there was on house left, the problem is that it only has one room intact since the other was destroyed. The room was already given to Ashley and her sister with Kiko already in it, Naga and Air Jay are in the living room sharing the couch transformed into a bed.
Naga was not pleased at all to share a bed with this sick perverted killer, she wanted to force him to sleep on the ground but he refused and remained on the bed, after failure attempts to convince him she gave up so that in the end Air Jay might not suspect a thing, it was in times like these that Naga wished that she was Lina, she would obliterate a fool like Air Jay with a strong spell and her threatening attitude. "What are you looking at you pervert?" she demanded when she noticed Air Jay looking at her.
"Oh noting babe." Air Jay responded with a yawn.
"I'm warning you, if you try anything funny I will give you such a freeze arrow that not even your fire powers will help you!"
"Will you relax? What kind of person you think I am?"
Naga did not respond to that, it would be too easy.
"Good idea, don't answer that! I just want to get some sleep; I work all day to prepare that trap for those Aviar dupes all by my self."
"Excuse me?" Naga demanded. "As far as I can remember I help as well!"
"Yeah, by just bossing me around and never helping me with the heavy work!" Air Jay reminded.
"Of course! The strong sex always bosses the weak sex, and I, Naga the Serpent, am a part of that strong sex!"
"I hate you!" Air Jay murmured.
"What was that?"
"Nothing! I just want to get some shut eyes!"
"Excuse me……" called a very small child voice. It is Emily coming down the stairs with a doll in her hand.
Air Jay and Naga look back at little Emily, she seems to be very shy about something.
"Yo little girl, what's up?" Air Jay asked.
Emily walks down to Air Jay and Naga's bed. "I….can I sleep with you guys?" she asked very shyly.
"Want to sleep with us?" Naga asked a little curious. "Why us? Weren't you sleeping with your sister?"
"Well I……I….."
"Give her a break, Naga!" Air Jay said. "What's the harm let her sleep with us."
"Alright, alright." Naga gave up and picks up little Emily and puts her on her lap. "You can sleep with us tonight."
"Thank you!" Emily said with a smile to both Air Jay and Naga and rests her head on Naga's chest and Naga wraps her arms around the child, holding her softly like a mother holding her child.
Air Jay's a little surprised to see this motherly side of Naga, he always consider her a big mouth with a sexy body but it seems that there something more to her that he gives credit for, now that Air Jay thinks of it he doesn't know much about her except the fact that she was a great rival of Lina Inverse and that she knows a lot about her, but for some strange reason Air Jay believes in Naga, that is why he never dare to ask her of her past.
Naga had a soft smile on her face, this brings memories to her on the times when she lived in Seilune, she remembers the times when she hold her sister Amelia when she was just a little baby, she always baby-sit her when ever her mother ask her and she remembers holding Amelia this way, it always made Amelia sleep well.
Suddenly Naga feels a head resting on her shoulder, she sees Air Jay sleeping on her shoulder with a very peaceful face, sometimes it is complicated for Naga to believe that Air Jay here is a cruel evil monster. She looks back at Emily who is still sleeping peacefully at her arms. Naga never thought about it before but what would it be like if she had a child of her own? What would it be if she became a mother? She would certainly raise the child of course, she would teach the child all the spells that she had learn all these years, her baby would become just as mighty and powerful as she considers herself to be. Suddenly Naga starts to panic, if she would be the mother then who would be the father? She slowly looks at Air Jay still sleeping in Naga's shoulder, would he be the father? "No!" Naga turns her head around until she saw her self in the mirror right in front of them, she saw the image of her holding Emily and with Air Jay right beside them, it's like they are a real family. She stood there for a minute admiring the picture in front of her but then she finally pulls Air Jay away from her, back in the days Naga had a crush on Air Jay when she was Gracia but now all she has is hate for what he has done to her mother, the last thing she wants is to fantasise with the man who killed her mother. She has an important mission, as soon as she can obtain the crystal and return it to Zurten, she will kill Air Jay.
Ashley watched the scene from upstairs and saw the way how Naga and Air jay are taking care of Emily, she knows that Emily is seeing in Air Jay and Naga as replacement parents. Ashley knows that the Trio's actions are insane and very questionable but they seem to be very soft when it comes to kids, they didn't thought twice when Emily called for their help. Ashley still doesn't trust these three but so far they have been truthful to their promise, they have been defeating the Aviar Army so far but this is only the beginning, the Supreme Commander of the Aviar Army will prepare a new plan to destroy them, the question is what will it be?
The next day.
Brunou and Lim were summon to Aviar's chambers, they are very terrified about coming to his chambers because they know that their leader is unforgiving to failures, Brunou is more terrified because he already failed two times against the Trio.
"You failed again!" Aviar said with an unpleasant voice as he turns to Brunou and Lim.
"Please Master forgive us!" Lim begged as he lands on his knees with Brunou.
"Have mercy! I promise I won't fail you again!" Brunou begged with tears in his eyes.
"SILENCE!!!!" Aviar shouted. "You know I hate to hear suppurates from failures! But in either case we learn that our enemy is very cunning and creative. They proved that they know how to use their surroundings for their advantage but what questions me the most is that they knew that we were going to attack. This time we shall invite them to our grounds and dispose of them ourselves."
"Great idea Master Aviar!" Brunou applauded.
"Good, I am please that you think that way, General Brunou, you will go back to the village and invite our Enemies to come to us."
Brunou's entire body turns white. "M-m-me?"
"Yes, you, do you have a problem with that?" Aviar asked in a threatening tone.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Absolutely no problem!"
"Good! Invite them for dinner! Tell them I have an interesting proposition for them! Understand?"
"Y-yes, supreme Commander Aviar." Brunou responded, his voice sounded like he was about to cry.
"I pity you, mate." Lim whispered.
"Now leave my sight!" Aviar ordered.
And both men leaved the chamber.
Unknown to them that Orland's been listening to the entire conversation. "So……my enemies will be joining us for dinner, huh? Perfect, I wanted to see their faces before the day I reduce them to nothing!"
Afternoon.
The Trio are sited next a tree, Kiko is rested near the tree almost falling asleep, Naga is drinking a bottle of brandy happily while Air jay throws some punches on the air.
"Boring-city! It is already afternoon and them Aviar bozos haven't attack yet. I'm so bore, I want to punch some one!" Air Jay complained.
"Quite complaining, all you ever do is complain, don't you get tire of always complaining?" Naga replied, drinking her brandy. "Ever thought on trying to be a good boy for a change?"
"Nope. That kind of thought makes me want to puke. And did you ever thought of stopping laughing the way you do?"
"Of course not! That laugh is the official mark of the great and beautiful Naga the Serpent, stopping my laugh is like losing an arm or leg."
"Auuuu, grrr. (Maybe, but it would stop torturing our ears.)" Kiko barked lowly.
Air jay then looks back at Naga and notices her drinking again. "Do you always have to drink all the time?"
"I like brandy and all kinds of alcohol, it calms my soul!" Naga responded, ready to take another taste of her brandy when Air Jay took it away from her. "Hey, what's the big idea? Give me back my brandy!"
"O brandy vai para o sul!(The bandy is going south!)" Air Jay replied throwing the bottle against a wall right behind him.
"HEY!!!" Naga screamed and got up to her feet and walks to Air Jay with heavy steps. "Why the heck did you took a very good brandy from me?"
"Why do you drink so much?" Air Jay asked with a serious voice.
"Because I like to drink! Nothing simpler!" Naga replied, still with an angry tone.
"Bull baby, that's bull! Nobody likes to drink the way you do! When ever someone drinks like that is to try to forget something painful. What happen to you?"
Naga stayed unmoved but her eyes are shaking, true that she started to drink ever since his mother die and she gain adoration for alcohol, now that she thinks of it maybe this is her way of forgetting about her past and she never realise it, all of this because of the man who is standing right in front of her. She turns her back to Air Jay so that he could not see her face. "Why do you care, you would not understand. You are just a cold blooded murderer!"
Kiko lifted his head up, it seems like this tête-à-tête is going to end up really ghastly.
There has been a dreadful silence between them, normally Air Jay would beat the living hell out of anyone who dared to speak to him that way but something inside him stop him just like all the times that Naga insults him, something that he can not explain. Actually he felt sorry for Naga, for her to react this way is because that something really bad has happen to her. Never in his life Air Jay ever felt pity for anyone but he just can not stand to see Naga this unhappy for some reason. "I believe I do understand……I had two families before, but I lost them……my first family I lost because of that moron Phill…..my second family I lost because of an accursed, stupid bandit who is still on the run somewhere, I lost my best friend who is still missed, and I got accused of a crime I did not execute, I was accused of murdering Phill's wife just like that, that moron Phill did not start a real investigation and decided to put a big bounty on my head while the real murdered is on the run somewhere."
Naga did not turn to Air Jay, her eyes just continue to shake with anger, she knows that Air jay is talking about her and her mother when she was the princess of Seilune and she just can not believe that Air Jay could not be honest and preferred to create such stupid stories to cover his past crimes, but the way he talked was different, he was……softer, something that Naga never heard in her life before, and she just could not resist it. "I…..I was going to marry a guy I never meet….my father never understood me……and I lost someone important also because of a repulsive bandit…..that's all."
Kiko only watched the entire scene the all time; this is the first time that he sees these two talking seriously and gently with out laughs or egos standing in their way. "(The look on Naga's face is different, by the look on her face it seems like she released a big weight on her back, and Air Jay, I never saw him like this, he never mentioned about the deaths he suffered before, it is almost like…….he's in love!)"
Air Jay suddenly holds Naga's shoulder and gently turns her to him. "Naga……"
"Yes Air jay?…..." she said softly. Both of them looking at each other with gentle eyes and both faces slowly coming closer to each other.
"Hum…..Excuse me!" Brunou interrupted, caring a white flag with him.
"AAAAH!!!!" Naga and Air Jay screamed at the same time when they were interrupted by Brunou.
"Fatty, what are you doing here?" Naga screamed in embarrassment.
"Are you here for another beating?" Air Jay asked, cracking his knuckles.
"NOOOO!!!!" Brunou cried and waving his flag. "I did not come here to fight, I came here with a message from the Supreme Commander Aviar! He wishes to invite you people for dinner tonight to discuss some important business."
"Oh really?" Naga and Air Jay asked at the same time with smirks on their faces.
"Yeah, really, well I'll be seeing you two tonight!" Brunou said as he try to run away from these two that always enjoyed themselves on beating and humiliating him, but he was caught when Naga and Air Jay grabbed him by the ears again. "AI, AI, AI!!!! NOT AGAIN!!!" he cried when Naga and Air Jay lift him up by pulling the ears.
"Now where were you going Fatty? You just got here." Naga taunted.
"Yeah, I say we break his teeth out this time!" Air Jay suggested showing his fist.
"Now come on Air Jay don't be rude! I I want to torture fatty here!" Naga said, pretending to be angry.
"Hey yo Naga, don't raise that voice on me baby, or I'll punch you good!" Air Jay said pretending to be threatening Naga.
"Now wait a minute, you guys said that yesterday!" Brunou screamed, also remembering that he made a goof up after they said that.
"You keep out of this!" Naga snapped. "Air Jay doesn't need to punch YOU now!"
"HOLD ON!!!!" Brunou screamed. "Now I remember the mistake I made yesterday! You said that and then I replied saying that Air jay needed to punch ME, that was the mistake I made last night. I was supposed to say that he does not need to punch me!"
"Suppose to do what?" Air Jay asked.
"Punch!"
"Punch who?"
"Punch me!"
"Punch you? Alright!" And Air Jay punches Brunou, making him land his head on the ground with his butt up. Air Jay then walks to Brunou and puts his foot on his butt. "Tell your boss we'll be there and settle tings once and for all, but in the mean time……"
"We are sending you flying back to your base." Naga finished as she walks back and preparing herself.
"Please….not my little butt, please!" Brunou begged.
But Naga ignored his begs and runs directly at Brunou and kicks him right on his butt like if he's a soccer ball, making Brunou fly away from the village.
"What a dork!" Air Jay mocked.
"So we better prepare ourselves, we are going out tonight." Naga said, cleaning her boot.
"Say Naga, can we call this our date?"
"No!"
"Bolas!"
"What?"
"I just said rats!"
