Discaimer: I don't own Slayers
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Amelia walked down the raod from Zelgadiss's house, planning on heading home, but then remembering her sister at the bar and decided to go get her first. She wasn't really paying attention to anything as she walked but concintrating more on what happened between her and Zelgadiss. Mother had alway's told her that she was a kind hearted young girl, and was able to get people to open up, but she never felt this way about someone before. It was almost as if she was drawn to this young man.
"Miss, you're not old enough to come in here."
"Huh?" Amelia looked up and noticed she was standing at the entrance of the bar, "Oh sorry. I'm looking for my sister. Her name's Gracia, but she call's herself Naga. Can you get her for me and tell her we have to go home?"
"Sure kid. Hang on a sec." The V.P. Guy opened the door and stuck his head in, "Hey! Is there Anyone here by the name of Gra-"
"Naga." Amelia corrected.
"Naga?" The V.P. Guy yelled.
"That's me! What is it?" Naga yelled back.
"Your sis is here. Say's you have to go home." Naga sighed and got up after paying the bar tender for her sixth glass of Sake. She walked to the door and thanked the V.P. before leaving with Amelia. Amelia looked up at her older sister.
"You don't look like you got yourself plastered like you usually do when you get your hand's on alchohol." She mused.
"Oh I had something on my mind." Naga responded brushing it off like a fly. Amelia giggled but quickly stopped when she saw her sister's serious glare.
"Amelia, I was thinking about that attack on you by Hellmaster. What if it was-"
"Oh that," Amelia interupted, "You're right. it was a distraction. Hellmaster went and attacked Lina and Gourry after I left. It was a distraction so we wouldn't detect him coming onto the earth." Naga sighed and crosed her arms around her cheast (Is that even possible with those big thing?) and sighed.
"So what are we going to do know?" She muttered. Amelia giggled.
"Talk to Luna and head to the moon, I guess." She whispered. Then Amelia realized something, "Hey Gracia, we're twin's right?"
"Yeah, so?" Naga asked.
"Well then how come you could enter the bar but I couldn't? We're the same age after all." Amelia asked. Naga laughed her famous annoying laugh and looked at Amelia.
"Of course you can't come in. Not only do you not look the age but you don't have a fake I.D." She said. Amelia sweatdropped and looked away from her sister and sighed before jumping when Naga laughed again and grabbed ahold of her.
"Come on Amelia! Sing with me! Koi ni koi suru Onna no ko ni wa hic Mabushi sugiru no Mai Daarin hic!"
"I take it back. You're drunk." Amelia said pushing Naga off of her as she kept singing The Maiden's Prayer song. (A/N the song just came on...) Amelia just shook her head and carried on walking ocasionaly having to stop to lead Naga in the right direction.

Gourry and Lina came to Lina's house later that night And was greated with a rather pissed off Luna. She ran out the house when she saw them comming.
"Where the hell have you been!" She snapped, "You have school tomorow! You can't go staying out late! And I don't care if he's your boyfriend or not! Lina it's midnight for crying out load!"
"Sorry..." Lina muttered not even flinching to Luna's outburst. Luna took a deap breath and shook her head.
"Come on. Inside. You too Gourry. It's to late for you to head home. Call your parent's and let them know you're staying here tonight." She said. Gourry nodded and went inside while Luna stood out there with Lina.
"Everything okay? You seem depressed." She asked.
"It's about Gourry. That's all." Lina mumbled.
"You know, don't you?" Luna asked. Lina nodded and looked at her sister.
"Do you think...that Kasuga is on the moon?" She asked. Luna looked at her for a minute then turned her head.
"She's...Sylphiel. A powerfull preistess there..."
"I knew it!" Lina yelled running into the house, tears streaming down her face.
"Lina!" Luna called out running after her, "Lina wait a minute!" Luna ran into the house just in time to here Lina slam her door shut. Luna stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked up with sad eyes.
"Is everything okay with her?" Gourry asked coming out of the kitchen, from talking on the phone. Luna shook her head.
"She's suffering dearly from the inside." She whispered.
"Who's Kasuga?" Gourry asked. Luna looked voer at him before managing a sad smile.
"She was Yurikawa's wife." She responded.
"O-Oh..." Gourry muttered.
"I guess Lina thinks that when we go to the moon, you'll be taken away from her. After all Kasuga is there, but she's known as Sylphiel now..."
"Taken away from her?" Gourry asked.
"You don't know do you?" Luna asked. Gourry shook his head and Luna sighed, "Lina's been in love with you since grade school graduation." Gourry's eyes widened and he stared at Luna.
"R-Really?" He asked. Luna nodded.
"Don't tell her I told you though," She said. Gourry nodded, "Come on. I'll get you some bedding. You can sleep on the coach." Gourry nodded and looked up towards lina's room before following Luna to the living room.

Zel sat on his roof holding the guitar his father gave him before Rezo killed his parents, playing a soft, sad tune into the night sky. He kept thinking about what Amelia had said to him, and how he reacted. Why did he feel comfortable around this girl. This Moon Princess.
"That's pretty..." A voice broke into his thought's and he stopped playing for a moment and turned around to see Amelia standing there in the Kimono he saw her wear in his dreams.
"Sorry did I disturb you?" She asked. Zelgadiss sighed and shook his head, and patted the ground next to him.
"Sit." He said. Amelia smiled and sat next to him.
"Y'know I came without my sister's knowledge." She said. Zel shook his head.
"Will she worry?" He asked.
"I wish! In anycase the girls drunk and past out. She won't wake up untill tomorow afternoon." Amelia said. Zelgadiss laughed. Amelia looked at him.
"You laughed!" She exclaimed, "You should laugh more often, you look cute when you do."
"C-Cute?" Zelgadiss stuttered. Amelia blushed lightly and nodded, then looked up at the moon.
"Crecent moon..." She mumbled.
"Does that mean something special?" Zelgadiss asked. Amelia shook her head.
"I'm not used to seeing the moon like this concidering I live on it," she explained. "This is the first time I've seen the moon cycle. It's very pretty."
"Where is your kingdom?" Zelgadiss asked.
"On the very top! Around that is the different citys and villages. The castle is made out of white marble and Silver. The curtains are pure white silk, same with the beddings."
"Sounds like alot of white." Zelgadiss said. Amelia giggled and carried.
"The windows are fine crystal. It's almost like it's not even there. Picture frames are made out of Silver, and statue's are also made out of white Marble. Did I mention that the carpet is saphire blue. Infact the hard floor is made out of Saphire. The garden has bluebells and white roses blooming everywhere, and there are cherry tree's and a clear blue lake with fish swimming in it," Amelia explained, "And the villagers wear more traditional clothes. They also where tunics and loose pants, with sandels, and hooded capes. I always go out into the town. Everyone's happy and loving to one another. There is hardly any crime. And nobody lives on the street's because people are to loving and caring to leave them out. And those who are poor don't have to pay alot for food, or they don't pay at all. It's like the kind of place people would only dream of here on earth."
"I can imagine. A city with no crime." Zelgadiss muttered, "So why all the blue and white?"
"It represence purity."Amelia responded simply. Zelgadiss smiled as he looked at her profile. At first he thought this girl was some strange sychotic girl who escaped from a mental institute, but after everything that has happened so far, she seems like a normal girl trying to help cure her mother. Sighing he shifted closer to her and put his arm around her shoulder's. She looked up in surprise and looked at him, then smiled and leaned against his shoulder's.

The next day wasn't like the usual. Gourry and Lina still went to pick up Zelgadiss like they usually did but not for the same reason.
"Zel get out here! And don't bother to bring anything with! You don't need it!" Lina yelled out. Zelgadiss poked his head out the window.
"And why the hell not? We are going to school!" He yelled back.
"No we're not! We're leaving today!" Lina snapped, "And you better get your ass out here! I am NOT in a good mood!"
"You can say that again." Zelgadiss muttered getting back into the house and walking outside. He looked over at them.
"Hey Lina, why aren't you in the front like you usually are?" He asked, noticing that Lina was at the back where he and Amelia usually sit. Lina looked away from him with a 'hmpf' and crossed her arms. Zelgadiss shook his head and got in next to Gourry.
"You guy's in a fight or something?" He asked.
"No, it's something else..." Gourry responded, leaving Zelgadiss's house.
"What about Amelia?" Zelgadiss asked.
"Her and Naga are at my house already." Lina snapped.
"Naga?" Zelgadiss asked.
"That's what we call Amelia's older sister Gracia. Lina really doesn't like her. The first comment out of Naga's mouth was to make fun of Lina's breasts." Gourry said.
"That was stupid." Zelgadiss muttered.
"Yeah, and Lina nearly blew up the house if Luna hadn't threatened to hit her with a spell she'll never forget." Gourry continued.
"Will you guy's stop talking about me!" Lina snapped. Both Gourry and Zelgadiss stifened.
"Sorry." They both said at the same time very quickly. Lina muttered something under her breath before turning to look out the window again, then looking back at Gourry.
"You idiot! With all your chatting we are now two blocks away from my house!" She yelled bonking him on the head.
"OW! Sorry Lina." Gourry said turning the car around. They arrived at the house in silence and Lina slamed the door behind them and went down to the basement where Luna, Amelia and Naga were. The boys followed in silence. Luna looked up when they walked down stairs from the magic circle she was drawing in chalk on the floor.
"Good you got him." She said. Amelia smiled and ran over to Zelgadiss when they got down the stairs.
"So you're going to come with?" She asked. Zelgadiss smiled and put a hand on his hip.
"I want to see where you live." He said simply.
"Hey what happened between you two?" Lina asked, a smirk spreading across her face, "Since when are you guys so close?" Amelia blushed and shifted her feat.
"I uh visited him last night..." She muttered.
"What?" Naga yelled.
"Nothing happened!" Amelia protessed, "We just talked, and I listened to him play the guitar!"
"Good isn't he?" Lina asked.
"Yeah, really good." Amelia agreed.
"You guys." Zelgadiss muttered. Gourry chuckled and gave him a pat on the back.
"You should hear him sing!" Lina exclaimed to Amelia, "He's got one good voice."
"Really? I want to hear!" Amelia said. Zelgadiss sweatdropped.
"Well enough chit chat," Luna said getting up and patting her hands together to get the dust off, "Everyone in the circle, we're going to the Moonlight Kingdom." They all nodded and went to the middle of the magic circle, Luna included. She stood infront of them and raised her arms as a magical aura surounded her and the lines of the magic circle lit up. Without thinking, Lina moved closer to Gourry, placing a hand on his cheast and closing her eyes when the light got brighter. When the light died down they were in a room, a libary to be exact, where Filia and Milgasia where waiting for them. Lina opened her eyes and looked around them looked down at herself and gave a suprised yelp.
"Where are my clothes! What happened!" Lina was wearing different clothes, as was eveybody else, except Amelia and Naga. Lina was wearing a shortsleeved red shirt that didn't cover her waist, brown/red pants, and purple boots and gloves, with a sword on her hip and had her hair up in a high pony. Gourry was wearing a dark blue kimono top that exposed part of his cheast and lighter blue pants that bunched together just above the ankle, and the rest of the way to the ankles was covered in like a bandage, with navey blue slip on shoes, with a sword aswel. Zelgadiss was wearing a similar attire to Gourry, on he had a green kimono top with a white under kimono and a gray hakama (Kimono pants) with white socks and Japanese sandles, and also had a sword. Lina looked next to her and gave another yelp.
"Tatsuko!" Tatsuko was standing there looking down at herself. she smiled and spun around.
"I'm not transparant anymore." She said.
"So that's Tastuko?" Luna said. Lina looked up at Luna and gave another yelp. Luna was standing there with black knee-high boots, with a knife held by a band on her thigh. She was wearing a white mini-skirted dress that had a slit up to her hip on the one side and the dress tide up around the back of her neck, in a V-top that went down to her wait. She had a sword as well that was hooked on to a black belt. Lina looked at her before fainting with little swirlies in her eyes.
"Is she okay?" Amelia asked.
"Probably! Tatsuko said with a laugh, "I guess this is too much for her." Then Amelia, Luna, and Tatsuko broke into giggles.
"Girls..." Zelgadiss muttered then looked over at Gourry, "Something wrong?"
"It's just...I'm worried about Lina that's all." Gourry lied. Zelgadiss could sence this but kept it to himself. What was really bugging Gourry is what was going to happen to their relationship once Kasuga comes into the picture.
