Dissclaimer: I don't own Slayers

okay since I've been focusing on LG for the past few chapters I'm dedicating this chapter to all the AZ fans out there. Just keep in mind that I'm used to LG and don't have a very good talent for AZ, though I do like the couple.

Amelia sat outside by the pond in the garden. She had just heard from Xellos that he had sent Gourry down to earth because Lina was being attacked by one of Hellmasters servents. Yeah, sure that was okay, but now their defences were low and they were wide open for an attack from hellmaster now. Amelia sighed as her mind woundered back towards Lina and Gourry. They were so lucky to feel so strongly about eachother. She doubted that nothing could ever break them apart, even the half reincarnation incident. Why couldn't she have a strong connection with someone like that as well?

She looked up as she heard some footsteps approach her from behind. She looked around and smiled.

"Hi Zel." She said quietly. Zelgadiss. She knew she felt strongly for him but she was afraid of what he would do if he found out just how strongly she felt her him. Just how much those kisses ment to her. Zelgadiss smiled and walked over to her to sit next to her.

"Hey Amelia." He said sitting down.

"You're finaly out of the library I see." Amelia joked. Zelgadiss gave a small laugh.

"How much time do I spend in there anyway?" He asked to no one in particular. Amelia shrugged.

"The only time I see you is when it's time to eat. Sometimes you even miss that." She said, turning her attention back to the pond, watching a fish jump out before falling back into the water with a slight splash.

"I guess I'm just used to being alone," Zelgadiss shrugged, "I used to read alot back on earth and I often forgot the time." Amelia giggled slightly at this.

"Always been a book worm?" She asked.

"Pretty much." Zelgadiss responded. Amelia smiled.

"What kind of books do you like?" She asked. Zelgadiss shrugged his shoulders.

"Changes from time to time. Sometimes it'll be fantasy, then it'll go to sci-fi or action. The only genre I haven't read is Romance." He said.

"Not a Romantic kind of guy?" Amelia asked.

"Not really. Also most of the Romance novels include sex and stuff like that. I don't like reading them." Zelgadiss explained. Amelia blushed slightly at his answer but still managed a small laugh.

"That would do it." She muttered. Zelgadiss shook his head slightly and looked over at her.

"So what about you?" He asked.

"What about me?" Amelia asked.

"What types of books do you read?" He asked. Amelia jumped up at this and placed her hands on her hips striking a heroic pose.

"I read stories about Heroes of Justice!" She said triumphantly. A sweatdrop formed over Zelgadiss's head as she said this.

"I...see.." He muttered. Amelia laughed and sat down again.

"It's not that weird y'know." She said.

"I know it's just...the way you said it. Did you have to strike a pose?" He asked. Amelia burst into laughter. Zelgadiss watched her as she topled over, falling onto the ground clutching her stomach the whole time.

"I'm sorry!" She said though carried on laughing.

"I fail to see what's so funny." Zelgadiss said. Amelia managed to controll herself before sitting up on the ground.

"I'm not sure why I started laughing." Amelia admitted, "Just something you said, the tone of your voice, I dunno something just got me into a giggle fit!" a few giggles still ascaped while she said this. Zelgadiss raised an eyebrow before getting off the bench and kneeling on the ground next to her.

"Then how about I give you a reason to laugh, huh?" He said smiling. Before Amelia had time to answer she was on the ground laughing hard as Zelgadiss tickled her mercilessly. Amelia tried to tell him to stop but only ended up laughing harder. Zelgadiss couldn't help but laugh himself as he watched her try to get away from him. He ended up stopping quickly when he noticed something. Amelia stopped laughing and looked up at him. She noticed a blush formed over his cheaks.

"What is it?" She asked. Zelgadiss quickly looked away from her.

"You...may want to fix your Kimono." He said. Amelia looked at him before looking down and blushing herself. Her Kimono had gotten loose while Zelgadiss had been tickling her showing off a bit of her cleavlege. Amelia quickly fixed it up and looked down.

"Um...thanks." She muttered. Zelgadiss nodded in response before getting up and changing the subject.

"So since I haven't really been around for dinner, why don't we go and get something together?" He asked holding out a hand for her. Amelia smiled and took his hand, getting up.

"Sure. I know a great place out in town. You wanna go?" She asked. Zelgadiss nodded in response. Amelia smiled and ran ahead of him, "This way!" she yelled. Zelgadiss laughed and followed her out of the castle.

"Sir Mazenda failed." Kanziel said.

"I am well aware or that Kanzeil." Hellmaster said, his voice held no expressions. Kanzeil shut his mouth and stared at his masters back. If he served under anyone else he would have asked when he could attack but since this was Hellmaster, such questions would end in death.

"I have a plan, Kanzeil," Hellmaster said, still not turning around, "I want to test that little Inverse girl a little more, the problem is her mark."

"Mark?" Kanzeil asked. Hellmaster turned around and looked down at Kanzeil.

"She bares the mark of The Lord of Nightmares." He said. Kanzeil stiffined.

"Forgive me my lord, but shouldn't that mean we should'nt be engaging in battle with her?" He asked.

"Yes it does but..." Hellmaster broke into an evil smirk, "I want to over run mother as well." Kanzeil stiffened even more. It's near impossible to over run her. The most powerfull being on the face of the earth...no in the universe. How could he even think something like that. Something so obsurb. Well this is Hellmaster, what ever goes through his mind is a mystery to all Mazoku.

"..."

"Lina." Lina slowely opened her eyes to a vast of darkness. 'Oh not again.' she thought. She knew she was in one of those dreams where someone was trying to talk to her over a vast distance. forget about Phones this is so much more efficient.

"Amelia if this is you go away!" Lina yelled into the darkness. A small laugh sounded and a women appeared before her.

"I'm not Amelia, Lina." She said. Lina stared at her, wide eyed. She'd never seen her before yet she felt oddly familier. Lina gulped.

"Who are you?" She asked. The women smiled gently at her before caressing her cheak with the back of her hand.

"Most people know me as The Lord of Nightmares. Those who work under me know that you are special to me, but don't know the whole truth." Lina's eye's widened.

"You...You're the one who's power I've been calling on?" Lina asked. L-Sama nodded.

"But I'm aslo your real mother." Lina looked at her in shock.

"What...?" She asked.

"You have earthly parent's, yes and they died, but they were never your real parents," L-Sama said, "I gave birth to a child but she was very special and I had to send her to earth to live as a human. Lina, that child is you."

So much for just AZ, but hey! there was a little AZ moment in there. Anyway here's the latest chapter, can't believe how long it took me to right this. I know it's not very long but atleast it's an update.

R&R please!
