Fushigi Yuugi Fan Fiction / Slayers Fan Fiction ❯ Sibling Rivalry ❯ Chapter 2

I am happy to hear people like this! I love both Slayers and Fushigi Yugi and I hope to get some of the characters to meet. I know this will get really weird and I bet you think that too.

I got a review asking me if I knew what 'otaku' meant. The answer is yes, of course I know what otaku means. I had to do a report last year on anime (so I guess I really can call myself a super fan). In all the books I read they said that those anime fans that basically live anime are called 'otaku'. ^.^ The exact definition I got was, "A Japanese derogatory form of 'you' which also has the meaning of, no-life geek who spends all of her time building Gundam models. But in certain circles it's meaning has evolved into a less pejorative term, namely, 'huge anime fan who is respected because the spend all their time building Gundam models.' (If you were wondering my teacher had to go out and study just to see if my information was credible then proceeded to give me an 'A'. I am an anime expert. *gets big headed*)

Read and Review!

Chapter 2: The Slayers Enter

******

"Miss. Lina!" Amelia was appalled by the actions the fiery sorceress was taking. She complained the entire three week journey to Konan. She didn't have to come (in all truth Amelia didn't want her around) but she complained on how boring everything was around them.

Amelia had studied this land for Quite some time. Little was known about these people. This was mainly due to the barrier around the area they knew. When that fell after Guav was defeated, that is when Seyruun learned about this land to the east of them. Even after learning about this place there was still nothing known about their culture and politics.

Amelia was told by her father, Prince Philionel, that she would be the one to go and discuss peace treaties with the Emperor (they did learn a little about the politics). Amelia was more than happy to go. She was growing restless in the palace and was in desperate need of a new adventure.

That was until her father demanded she go with a protector. He still remembered the last peace treaty she went on in the kingdom of Zoana. The next thing any of them knew, Amelia was a hostage and these people wanted war. Luckily Lina Inverse was there along with the rest of the "Slayers" gang, as they had come to be known as.

Amelia's first choice of protector was Zelgadis Greywords, of course. But Phil wanted more than just one person protecting his daughter, so he hunted down Gourry Gabriev and asked the blockhead swordsman to protect Amelia.

Gourry politely declined at first, stating Lina would not like it if he just ran off without her, even if it was to help out Amelia. Then Lina heard about the job offer and demanded to know exactly how much they would be paid. It was typical Lina and it didn't faze anybody even the slightest.

At first Amelia was glad everyone was back together. She even convinced Fillia to close her shop and come with them. The dragon maiden did that and took her three year old son, Val, with. Shortly after Fillia joined Xellos also showed up the reason why is still unknown.

About three days into the journey Lina began to bicker and that's when Amelia realized Lina's temper might just destroy all chances of peace between the two countries.

The fear became a reality when they arrived at the Konan Palace and Lina let loose a fire ball and destroyed the only protection the palace had from intruders. Amelia hoped she could even get to see the Emperor now and try to explain Lina's actions. The problem was, Amelia didn't understand Lina's actions so how could she even begin to apologize?

*****

Lina growled and ran threw the mess she created. She sent her brother a fair warning letter. It was his fault he didn't warn everyone else.

Her brother was a joke. The guy didn't even want to learn how to cast spells. Nope, he would rather take all the money she and her sister owned and run to some distant country. Sure he had this whole 'destiny' thing he always talked about, but that was no excuse to leave her alone with their oldest sister.

She still felt the pains Luna inflicted on her for the disappearance of the money, but the pains that would never heal were the ones Luna gave when she found out who was selling pictures of her to the local boys. Lina tried to explain he was the one who took the pictures of her in the bath, but Luna didn't listen.

That boy would pay a hundred fold, she swore it.

"Tasuki!!!!" Lina roared and kicked open the front door. No one stood in the hall. She probably scared all the senators and whoever else lived in the palace to all corners of the palace.

"Miss Lina!" Amelia ran up to the fiery sorceress. The princess scowled. "What do you think you are doing! This could cause a massive war!"

Lina looked behind her and saw the entire gate burning. The massive structure that was built for keeping things out fell to the ground and was soon nothing more than a pile of ashes. "Oops." Lina laughed nervously. "I think I was a little hasty."

Amelia felt her eye begin to twitch. "I demand you to apologize to the emperor!" She yelled.

Lina nodded. She had never seen the younger girl this mad before. Lina grabbed Amelia's arm and pulled her inside. "I'll apologize after I find my brother."

"Miss. Lina!" Amelia wailed as she lost sight of everyone else. The two girls rounded numerous corners and Amelia knew they would never be able to find the rest of the group in this maze.

*****

Zelgadis sighed. This was just great. Five minutes in a new country and Lina already made the entire population tremble with her power. He was sure her reputation of 'Enemy to all things that live' existed here, but now the thing that give small children nightmares now had a face.

All red heads with a destructive attitude would be officially banned for all time from this country.

The chimera stepped threw the front door and looked around. It seemed Lina wasn't mad enough to destroy the actual palace, just the gate.

He sighed again. He couldn't think about Lina right now. He had to find out about this 'Suzaku.' Maybe that held his cure.

Fillia smiled as she watched little Val playing in the koi pond. "Mommy! It's a fishy!" The small dragon smiled brilliantly.

"Yes it is Val!" Fillia watched as the two-year-old splashed the water.

"The fishy tastes good with butter and salt!" Xellos popped up next to Val. "Do you want to try it?" The mysterious priest smiled. "How about it Val?"

Val was about to answer when Fillia scooped the child into her protective arms. "No! He doesn't want to eat the pet fish, Namagomi." Fillia stormed off.

"Mommy!" Val protested. He looked behind his shoulder and laughed as Xellos made faces at Fillia then disappeared. "Mommy? Why does Xellos-daddy make you mad?"

Fillia shuttered as she heard her son refer to the mazoku as 'daddy. "Val, he's not your father."

"But Xellos-daddy told me he was!" Val pouted. "Why can't he be my daddy?"

Fillia now wished she could bang her head against a wall. Better yet, she wished she could boil that Namagomi in a vat of molten hot lava and then strap him to a chair and force him to watch Disney movies. "He's never going to be your father. Xellos is a bad influence on you and he is just a bad person."

Val pouted even more. He knew he was fighting a loosing battle. He would just ask Xellos-daddy later.

*****

'Ooh' Gourry thought as she entered the palace. 'Everything is so shiny!' He touched a silk tapestry. "Where is Lina?" He looked around and realized everyone else was now lost. Gourry sighed and continued to walk around the halls.

A smell caught his attention as he passed a room. "FOOD!" Gourry ran into the kitchen and began to stuff his face. He hoped no one would mind. He was just so hungry. Lina ate the last of his breakfast that morning and they didn't stop for lunch.

"I wonder what this place is." Gourry pondered out loud. "It looks so different from where we're from. I hope the people are friendly..."

^.^; I am so bad at ending chapters. Sorry. Things are a little clearer now, but it will get clearer in chapter three. I must warn you, I don't know where this is going and it might be a while for me to actually get a plot so...

I'll think hard and I might get one soon. Thanks for reading! Review please!

Disclaimer: *sigh* I hate repeating myself. Please just look at any other story I have written for your answer.
