Lina sat in the living room waiting for Gourry to come. Amelia had helped her out alot, and was sitting next to her. Lina seemed to be extremly nervous, figiting, shaking even. She couldn't sit still as she waited for Gourry to come and kept looking at her watch. Right now Lina was pacing around the room, chewing on her finger nails.

"Lina you have to calm down." Amelia said.

"But I can't!" Lina whined. Her expression, quickly changed to that of annoyance when she heard Tatsuko laughing at her.

"Why are you so nervous?" She asked, "Haven't you liked him since you graduated?" Lina blushed.

"Lina is something wrong?" Amelia asked.

"Stay out of my private stuff, Tatsuko!" Lina yelled ignoring Amelia. Amelia chuckled realizing that Tatsuko was bugging Lina again. A knock on the door brought Lina out of yelling at Tatsuko.

"It's Gourry." She whispered.

"Then Answer it." Amelia said. Lina nodded slowly and went to open it. Gourry smiled at her when he saw her.

"Ready to go?" He asked.

"Ye..Yes." Lina managed to say, and somehow managed to ignore Tatsukos out of control laughter. Gourrys smile widened and he held his hand out to her. Lina hesitantly o his hand and they left together. Amelia smiled as she watched the two of them leave.

"I better leave to." She mumbled getting up and heading to the door.

"Amelia can you stay for a while?" Luna asked from behind her. Amelia looked over at her a bit puzzled but nodded. Luna smiled and led her to her room, where thay could talk in private. Amelia sat on the single couch that was there while Luna sat on the chair at her desk, where lots of school work was.

"Have you found out about Zelgadiss yet?" She asked.

"No we haven't. But we do know why we need Gourry." Amelia said.

"Really?" Luna asked. Even she hadn't figured out Gourry yet. "Why do you need him?"

"Believe it or not, he's Yurikawa's reincarnation." Amelia replied.

"You're kidding?" Luna asked flatly.

"No I'm not. Miss Filia said that Mr Xellos had unquestionably proof." Amelia said.

"Wow..." Luna muttered.

"About Zelgadiss, do you know about him?" Amelia asked.

"Huh? Oh..right. Yes." Luna said comming out of her daze.

"So, what is it?" Amelia asked with a smile.

"You know the legend, 'The Fox Wife'?" Luna asked. Amelia nodded

"Yes," She said, "About the man Shinkichi who married a maiden he found sick outside of his rice field. She was actually a silver fox, right?"

"Yes. If you follow up on it, their son, Morime, must have one day gotten married and had kids of his own, and then they had kids and it carries on. right? In anycase, Zelgadiss comes from that bloodline." Luna explained.

"Wow." Amelia muttered. then something hit her, "How will we be able to let him know!"

"Ahh, be murciful, do feed my son. When the inpsectors come to check the field, show them a poor yeild of rice." Luna sang softly. Amelia gasped. That song. That was the song that The Fox Wife sang to the fields.

"Remember?" Luna asked. Amelia nodded.

"Morime was sick for a long period of time. So Shinkichi neglected his field to help his wife tend to him, which caused him to not have his fields planted. Then one morning, he woke up to find the rice seedlings planted, but upsidedown.When he told his wife, she ran out and turned into a silver fox and sang that song, then dissapeared. When the rice collectors came, Shinkichi didn't have to pay a high rice tax because he had a poor fiels, but when they left, the rice grew."

"Excactly." Luna said, "That song has been passed down for generations in his family. Only, he's only heard it once when his parent's were alive. You know his grandfather killed his parents."

"He did?" Amleia asked. Luna nodded.

"Zelgadiss doesn't know the legend I don't think, but the song he's sure to know." She said.

"So should I tell him?" Amelia asked.

"No. On monday, I'll teach the legend, song included." Luna said. Amelia smiled.

"Right then, I'll be on may way." She said.

"Try not to get attacked on your way." Luna said.

"Don't worry I wont." Amelia said. Luna watched Amelia leave. With that attack earlier, she was starting to wounder if time was running out for them. They still needed to tell Gourry and Zelgadiss of there parts in it. And Zelgadiss wasn't being much help with all his doubting. There has to be someway to convince him that what they say is true.

"Why does he doubt everything we tell him." Luna woundered aloud. We'll find a way, even if we have to drag him with us when time runs out for us here. Sooner or later, we'll all be needed on the moon.
