Minna… this is my first shounen-ai so please bare with me. I don't think it'll be that hard but you never know. It's a Gundam Wing/Slayers crossover. I'm not sure what the timeline is for GundamWing, but for Slayers, it's after the Slayers Try season. Welp, I hope you guys enjoy it. As for the warnings… shounen-ai, crossdressing, I'm not sure if there will be others… after all, I make 'em up as I go so… <shrugs>. Let's just start!
Chapter 1:
Heero walked into the living of Quatre's mansion where the other four pilots were currently at. The other pilots just looked up, knowing well that J's perfect was going to say something. They didn't know how but it was just…a feeling. Like a sixth sense or something.
"Lemme guess, Heero. We have a mission, ne?" Duo said as if it was that predictable. Well, I guess in this case, it was. Everyone time, there was a mission, Heero would always had that look on his face. That look of excitement and yet not since the perfect soldier wasn't supposed to show emotions but you could tell it was there if you were to look closely. Or if you could read people's faces or something like that when you were well trained gundam pilots like they were. Heero just nodded to Duo's question.
"What is it, Yuy?" Wufei asked. The Japanese pilot said nothing and just handed him a copy of the mission that he had in his hands. Wufei took it and red it to himself and then his eyes widened for a fraction of a second but then he looked at Duo out of the corners of his eyes. He nodded, probably in satisfaction, and handed the paper Trowa and Quatre, all the while, a smirk on his face. He looked at Heero, who returned the smirk as well. Duo looked at them weirdly. "What're you guys smirking at?" he asked giving them that look as if they've gone nuts.
"You'll see Maxwell, you'll see."
Quatre and Trowa looked up from the sheet of paper, their eyes wide as well. They first looked at each other and then at the braided pilot afterwards. Duo frowned at them and snatched the paper out of Trowa's hands, reading it himself. out loud though.
~ Gundam pilots,
You have a new mission. Someone powerful and unknown is associating with Oz. We want you to gather information first and send us a report of the info. An Oz general is currently hiding out at Millers Academy and we believe that is where the unknown person is at. Rumor has it that the unknown person is 'different.' Find out more about that. That is…which is why we want all five of you to attend the academy. To make everything less suspicious, we want you guys to pose as five transfer students. Four guys, one girl. Report to us when you are done with the first assignment.

"There, see? What's so shocking or whatever about tha--. Four guys and one _girl_???!!!!" Duo finally exclaimed as he reread the paper over again. "Nande k'so??!!!"
"Duo, we all think it's best tha--." Quatre started.
"Hells no!!! I ain't posin' as no friggin girl alright!!" he protested. "Why don't you do it, Q. You would do fine too!!"
Wufei smirked. "Maxwell. You're the one with long hair. You'd be best at the job."
"No freakin' way am I gonna wear no friggin dress!!! Why you do it, Chang! Your hair's pretty long too!!…sorta. Whatever, it's still long enough to be tied in a ponytail so I'd say it's long enough." Duo remarked with a glare at each and every one of his comrades.
"Wufei's right, Duo. You, out of us, are the right one to play as a girl." Trowa said.
"Read my lips… No. Fuckin'. Way."
"How about this." Quatre started drawing everyone's attention to him. "I have five of these three inch straws. Only one of them has a red tip at the bottom side of the straw. The others do not have it, making them plain white. Whoever draws that straw with the red tip has to be the one who dresses up like a girl…… Deal?" he looked at every one of them, namely Duo. Duo furrowed his eyebrows and after little thought, he agreed with a nod. "Alright. I don't care what you say, but I get first draw." he declared. *If I get first draw.. I'll have a greater chance of getting a white one.* he inwardly snickered. *And I won't lose either.*
"Fine." they all answered. Quatre left for a second to get the straws in his room and came back not long ago, straws already tucked neatly in his hand. He walked back towards the group, turning to Duo. Duo reached his hand forward and bit his lip as his quivering fingers moved around to each straw, not knowing which one to choose. Finally, he just thought, 'ah, what the heck!' and he shut his eyes, grabbing a straw. He didn't dare to look but knew he had to sooner or later so he opened one eye first, then the other. He froze, right then, right there. The red one. The other pilots sighed in relief yet at the same time smirked in triumph.
"Aw hells naw, man!! Why'd I gotta get the red one?!! This ain't fuckin' fair!….. Oi, Quatre! Lemme choose another one!!" he reached out to grab another straw but Quatre jerked his hand away.
"You lost Duo. You're the one that has to dress up as a girl."
"Demo--."
Heero but in. "No buts Duo… I already have our uniforms so I'll go get the girl's one right now." He left the room, going to his own before anyone could say anything and came back out a few seconds later. In his hands was a neatly folded black fuku, girl's fuku that is. He walked over and handed it to Duo but the war orphan didn't take it. "Go try it on."
"Nanda de?!?!?!"
Wufei snickered. "Yuy's right Maxwell. You've got to try it on to see if it fits or not." Duo opened his mouth to protest but he saw the glares the others gave him and closed it. Duo grabbed the fuku and marched up the stairs cursing all the while as he did so, both physically and mentally. *That's soooo not fair! Why'd I gotta that baka red straw. K'so! Now I gotta wear this baka fuku. I swear, _this_ is injustice!!*
~ Meanwhile downstairs… ~
"I'm glad Maxwell was the one who chose first and ended up being the one who had to crossdress." Wufei sighed in relief, smiling at the same time.
"…It wouldn't have mattered anyways…." The other three pilots looked at Quatre with suspicion.
"Nande…" They asked. Instead of answering, Quatre opened his hand that held the remaining straws. All the straws had red tips at the bottom. Their eyes widened and they stared at the Arabian. They didn't think that _Quatre_ of all people would play such a dirty trick. I mean if it were one of the others, they could understand but the blonde Arabian? Now that was a first.
"Winner, you--." Wufei started but stopped himself.
Quatre almost felt bad. Key word: almost. "I know. I really didn't want to be the one to crossdress. And besides, we all know that he'd be the best one out of all of us to do it, you know….Just don't tell Duo, ok? He's going to get so mad."
"You wouldn't have to worry about that. We won't say a word." Trowa said with a smirk as he wrapped his arms around the young blonde from behind. Quatre leaned back onto him as the others smirked too. Heero then brought his gaze upstairs. "Duo are you done?!"
He received no answer. "I'll go see if he needs help with anything. And I'll put on some make up on him too." Quatre said and he went upstairs before the others said anything. Awhile later…
Quatre came down the stairs first and cleared his throat getting the other three's attention. The three who were sitting on the two sofas looked up towards Quatre and then got up, bringing their full attention on the blonde. "Introducing Duo!!" Quatre announced, his hands were up high as if he were a real host presenting someone. But there was no answer and no one came down. "Pss! Duo! That's your signal." he whispered.
After hearing some muffling talk, Quatre frowned and went back up the stairs dragging Duo down with him. "Quatre! Let go!" Duo complained.
Quatre did as Duo said but gave him a little push walking down the stairs. Duo tumbled a bit before gaining his balance, just glaring at the pilot of Sandrock before walking down on his own, his eyes glued to the ground as if it were suddenly very interesting. Heero, Wufei, and Trowa on the other hand, held their breaths. Duo was absolutely breathtaking. But of course to Trowa, so was Quatre. He still had his hair done in a braid like he always did which was swaying to and fro as he took each step down the rest of the stairs. He had on a little bit of powder, which you could barely tell if you didn't look up close but also with a touch of lip gloss as well. The fuku he wore had a collar with a silvery white bow tied under just like a sailor's outfit would look like. At the end of its short sleeves, the hem of it was silvery white too. One thing though that Duo hated was that the shirt had just reached his waist. If he were to stretch his arms or something like that, his flat abdomenwould show, and he did not want people to be looking' at him and checkin' him out. The other thing he thought was most certainly irritating was that the black skirt was indeed short, just reaching his mid-thigh. *Kami-sama, I can't believe they'd let girls wear these! Sure it looks great on them, but _he_ wasn't a girl. A one hundred percent pure man, that's what he was!! And then the bakayaro docs gotta make some baka mission where one had to pose as a girl. Hmph. Just thinking about it pissed him off.*
However, neither any of the pilots that were watching mind at all. Duo had great legs, I bet even more beautiful than most girls. And they just couldn't help but almost drool at the sight of the beautiful American who stood uncomfortably and fidgeting with the fuku under their gaze. He kept pulling the shirt lower to cover his abdomen and did the same thing with the skirt, hoping to cover his legs more but the top part of that would always slip so he would have to pull it back up. And so it continued, down and up and down and up again. *Kami-sama he hated this but he couldn't fail a mission. Besides, Heero and the others would most definitely kill his ass if he refused to be apart of the mission. And Kami knows they are far, _far_ worse than just wearing this fuku. Even that supposedly innocent Arabian. He sighed. K'so, was he ever going to get them for this.*
Heero just couldn't help but stare at the beautiful braided-baka in front of him. Those long, smooth legs from his thigh all the way down to the white laced sketchers he wore for shoes. Boy did black ever look so good and sexy on him. He's even more kawaii when he's fidgeting and blushing the way he is right now. *What are you thinking?! This is Duo we're talking here! How can you possibly look at your friend like that? He'd be so disgusted with you.* Heero blinked and turned his head away. *It's only lust. Nothing more.* he once again reverted back to being the perfect soldier he 'supposedly' was, trying his hardest to get the braided pilot's image far away from his mind.
Wufei stared at him, both smirking and smiling at the same time. *I've got to admit Maxwell, you look totally sexy. Knew you were the perfect one to play this role. Hmm… Even the fake breast looks so real. Winner sure knows how to make you look great. Not too much make up and not too less either. Just perfect…. Like it would have mattered. It's Maxwell we're talking about here. Hmph. Not bad, not bad. But I know it's only lust.* His smirk grew.
The silent one was not surprised in the least. Well, not really, anyways. I mean, he did know that Duo would look stunning when dressed as a girl, even so when he didn't, but he knew so would Quatre. He just couldn't believe that he'd look better when blushing. Hmm… he could and would say the same about his koibito. He looked over at Heero and then at Wufei. From the looks in their eyes…hmph.. This was going to be one show he was definitely going to be watching, let's put it that way. Probably not watching at Wufei though. Mainly lust in those eyes. It would have been funny though but probably better since his attention mainly focused on J's perfect soldier. Yep, this is gonna be one hell of a mission… Yes, indeed…..
~ Zefilia ~
"Demo onee-chan!!! Doushite??!!" Lina whined to her older sister, tugging on her shirt. Luna just simply stood there, unfazed with her arms crossed, not listening to a word the younger sorceress said. "C'mon Zel! Help me convince my nee-chan!! I don't _want_ to go to school!! Onegai!!!"
The chimera sighed. "It won't be bad Lina. I've been to school before and it's not bad." He tried to convince her.
"Easy for you to say!! I've never been to school ever since I was six years old!!! And I don't plan on going back!! Not then, not now, not ever!" the redhead shouted, crossing her arms, a big frown on her face. "……So not fair…. Since Gourry decided to go back to Sairaag and settle down with Sylphiel and Amelia back to Seryuun, we decided to come back and visit you nee-chan. And instead of welcoming me back home, you make us go back to school. I don't wanna….It's not like I need school anyways… I already know how to read and stuff like that. Hmph."
"Liiiiinnaaaa….." Luna growled. Lina froze, unconsciously backing away and gulping as if her life were to end any second. Shoot, if she were in drama class or something like that right now, she'd win as an Oscar nominee, not to mention a giant trophy to come with it. After standing safely behind Zelgadis… "Aa nee-chan?" she squeaked out, barely above a whisper.
"_Because_ you haven't been to school since you were six, that's why you're going back now." Luna said sternly, her eyes somewhat in a glaring matter, eyeing her sister menacingly. "Understood?" she raised her voice a bit higher. Lina cowered even more, shaking all over now and nodded immediately, no second thoughts in that smart brain of hers. *Now you've done it Lina, now you've done it! You mad her mad!! Baka! You're gonna be so dead!!* But what her friend said brought her out of her thoughts.
"Well, Lina. I guess this is sayonara then." Zel looked at his friend. He stepped aside and turned to her. "Have fun at school."
"Nani??!! Demo Zel--!"
"I'm sure we'll meet again next time and hopefully by then, I'll find my cure." He turned away from her to leave the house but Luna stepped in front of him, making him halt in his tracks. He looked up at her.
"She isn't the only one going to school, Zelgadis Graywords." she simply said.
He looked at her suspiciously. "And what do you mean by that?" He then turned his gaze out the window.
"…Put it this way, Zelgadis. If you attend the school… I'm pretty sure, you'll find what you've been looking for, if you know what I mean……" That caught his attention. He jerked his head up towards her once again, wide eyed. *Did he hear right? Did Lina's sister just say what he thought she said?* He opened his mouth to speak but she beat him to it. "That's exactly what I said." she stated as if reading his thoughts. To say at the least he was surprised but whether he was or not, you couldn't tell. Put it this way…if he was surprised, he would be a wonderful actor not to show one bit of it that he was rendered speechless.
Instead, he crossed his arms. "Hmph. It could just be a lie or another phony 'cure'." he said coldly, not meeting her gaze.
"I assure you it's not a lie…." she paused for a second. "If you don't believe me then you can leave… I'm not going to stop you." With that said, he turned towards the exit and reached for the doorknob but she spoke again, catching his attention, once again and he halted. "However… there is a fifty-fifty chance that it could be the cure for your…state yet it can also be not. If it is, then you're losing a great opportunity to change back to human. Shicashi…if not, then you're doing the right thing. You'll never know unless you go. But of course…. That's _your_ choice and no one else's." she said with a half innocent, half smirking kind of look.
Zel scowled at that, clenching his fists. He hated to admit it but she was right. It could be his cure and yet, it could be just another phony too. And he wasn't going to figure out the truth unless he went. K'so, he hated this. He knew that if he didn't go, he'd truly regret it. I mean, like she said, it could be the cure and he just threw the perfect opportunity away. He sighed. He'd never live the end of it with the guilt that would jus nag him to death.
"C'mon Zel! It could your cure like nee-chan said! You'll never know unless you at least try and check it out!! What have you got to lose?!" she then paused, two of her fingers on her chin thinking. A frown slowly mad it way onto her face. "Well… I guess there is something to lose. I mean, it could not be the cure." she mumbled but the other two still heard and he frowned too. She then looked up with a pouty look. "Eto, that's not the point…'Sides…… you're not gonna let me go to school alone are you?…" she growled the last part as she raised a narrowed eye at him, her rage beginning to slowly build. He turned around and looked at his friend, absently gulping at the same time when he saw her mad and red-of-fury face. One thing he knew, he definitely did _not_ want to be Dragon Slaved by the fiery petite sorceress.
"But… where there's a school… there's a lot of people and you know about how I feel when it comes to crowds…." he trailed off with reason. Lina nodded, laying a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry about it Zel! They won't dare say a word since I'm gonna be there. I'll fireball them if they as to so much give you a glare." she smiled at him. He sighed. But he supposed they did have a point and they were right though…. eto…why not then.. He tiredly nodded, letting out another sigh. He somehow knew he was definitely going to regret it, but he didn't exactly have a choice in the matter anyways. Well…what's done is done. All he had to do now was just hope that it would all end soon… He really couldn't help but let out another exasperating sigh.
"Sugoi!! Zel's coming too! Now I don't have to Dragon Slave your ass just to make you come too." she grinned at him. He turned a bit pale and gulped again, sighing in relief that he did agree. Oi, look on the bright side. At least Lina's going to be there too. You're not going to be alone…
"Good. I'm glad you agreed, Zelgadis." hearing his name brought him out of his thoughts and he turned to Luna. "The two of you will be attending Millers Academy. Most likely living there since they have dorms. I already have your uniforms, you each have a few pairs of them to change or in case it gets dirty or something like that."
"Chotto matte yo. Millers Academy?" Zel asked, just to make sure. Luna nodded. Lina saw him frown and her brows scrunched up in confusion and curiosity.
"Doushite Zel? Something wrong?" she quirked her head to the side.
"Betsuni. <nothing>.. It's just that that was the school I went to. It just….brings back memories, that's all." he said with a small sigh, shaking his head.
"Sugoi! At least you know the place!" she beamed.
"Aa… but other than that, it's in the Outer World… Unless she's talking about another Millers Academy." he grumbled.
Luna shook her head. "Iya. Same one you're talking about… But that's right. It _is_ in the Outer World."
"Matte… If it's in the Outer World…" she trailed off thinking about what they just said. Then frowned. Something wasn't right. She then turned to Zel, her hands on her hips. "How could you have gone to the Millers Academy in the Outer World when the spell barrier had just broken when Hellmaster died not long ago? I mean if what you say is true, then I'm pretty sure that you went to school before that happened, ne? So how was that possible?"
"Hmm… I guess I forgot to tell you huh?" he absently asked.
She glared at him. "Forgot to tell me what?!"
He sighed. "You see, there was a special underground passageway where I live which was near the barrier that my parents and Rezo found. And apparently, more likely surprisingly… the barrier had no affect on it…. Anyways, they would sometimes go in and out through the passageway to the Outer World and back. They also decided to send me to school out there cause you know that the Outer World don't exactly associate with magic and all. And they didn't want me to have anything that dealt with magic, well, my parents didn't. So I would leave home in the morning to attend school there and when school was over, I would have to come straight back home through the passageway. It was too bad I didn't exactly get to go anywhere but school though."
"And how come no one, namely _I_, knew about it?!…Hmm?!!" Lina fumed, crossing her arms and tapping her foot.
"I'm not sure about the not telling anyone else matter but as for you, Lina. You never asked. Besides, the barrier was already broken so it doesn't really matter anyways."
"Nanda de??!!!!…._I_ never asked???!!!! First of all, _I_ never knew about it in the first place!!!" she was about to walk over to him and pound his ass even though she knew it was just going to hurt herself anyways, but that was besides the point. If she couldn't hit him with her bare fists, she'd gladly find a weapon somewhere. It's times like these that she wish she had a mace with her just like how Filia did, tucked under her dress.
Boy did he ever regretted making the short-tempered sorceress blow her top. Now he was going to get it. I mean, it didn't hurt one bit when she used her fists but that would make her _more_ pissed off than she was right now and she might fireball him. Sure he knew magic and was pretty god at it, but he certainly knew that he was no match for her. Fortunately for the chimera, Lady Luck was with him just this once and L-sama was he ever grateful. Luna walked between the two, making Lina paused before she bumped into her. To say at the least, Lina was mainly startled that her sister would interfere with such a matter. She opened her mouth to say something but then decided against it for the better and shut her mouth again. The taller girl then headed out of the room but suddenly paused, not looking back in the process though. "Oh yea, I almost forgot. I already signed you guys in. And also… the both of you will begin school soon. I expect you guys to get to Millers Academy in precisely ten days so stop fooling around. You guys had better start packing…especially you Lina…if you know what's good for you. After all, I have connections there so they'll know to alert me when you guys arrive at the academy." And she proceeded out of the room.
"Nanda de??!! Nee-chan!!! We only have ten days to get there??!! That's sooo not fair…"
"Ah yes…one more thing Lina." Luna stuck her head out from the hall a few seconds later. "you'd better behave. No using any magic of some sort in school. If I receive one bad report from school about you………." Luna didn't finish her sentence and just smirked at her. Lina gulped and completely paled at that. If she wasn't leaning on the table then, she would have seriously fainted for that matter.
First chapter done. Whata ya think? Hope ya enjoyed it so far. I'm gonna enjoy writing this story that's fer sure. Please review if you want me to continue!!! If not, I won't!!!! and I mean it too!!! Bai bai!!!
p.s if you're wondering about pairings…. I'm not really sure about the main pairings yet but I'll fer sure have a bit of 3x4. They're not really the main pairing though. That's it for now!

He received no answer. "I'll go see if he needs help with anything. And I'll put on some make up on him too." Quatre said and he went upstairs before the others said anything. Awhile later…
Quatre came down the stairs first and cleared his throat getting the other three's attention. The three who were sitting on the two sofas looked up towards Quatre and then got up, bringing their full attention on the blonde. "Introducing Duo!!" Quatre announced, his hands were up high as if he were a real host presenting someone. But there was no answer and no one came down. "Pss! Duo! That's your signal." he whispered.
After hearing some muffling talk, Quatre frowned and went back up the stairs dragging Duo down with him. "Quatre! Let go!" Duo complained.
Quatre did as Duo said but gave him a little push walking down the stairs. Duo tumbled a bit before gaining his balance, just glaring at the pilot of Sandrock before walking down on his own, his eyes glued to the ground as if it were suddenly very interesting. Heero, Wufei, and Trowa on the other hand, held their breaths. Duo was absolutely breathtaking. But of course to Trowa, so was Quatre. He still had his hair done in a braid like he always did which was swaying to and fro as he took each step down the rest of the stairs. He had on a little bit of powder, which you could barely tell if you didn't look up close but also with a touch of lip gloss as well. The fuku he wore had a collar with a silvery white bow tied under just like a sailor's outfit would look like. At the end of its short sleeves, the hem of it was silvery white too. One thing though that Duo hated was that the shirt had just reached his waist. If he were to stretch his arms or something like that, his flat abdomenwould show, and he did not want people to be looking' at him and checkin' him out. The other thing he thought was most certainly irritating was that the black skirt was indeed short, just reaching his mid-thigh. *Kami-sama, I can't believe they'd let girls wear these! Sure it looks great on them, but _he_ wasn't a girl. A one hundred percent pure man, that's what he was!! And then the bakayaro docs gotta make some baka mission where one had to pose as a girl. Hmph. Just thinking about it pissed him off.*
However, neither any of the pilots that were watching mind at all. Duo had great legs, I bet even more beautiful than most girls. And they just couldn't help but almost drool at the sight of the beautiful American who stood uncomfortably and fidgeting with the fuku under their gaze. He kept pulling the shirt lower to cover his abdomen and did the same thing with the skirt, hoping to cover his legs more but the top part of that would always slip so he would have to pull it back up. And so it continued, down and up and down and up again. *Kami-sama he hated this but he couldn't fail a mission. Besides, Heero and the others would most definitely kill his ass if he refused to be apart of the mission. And Kami knows they are far, _far_ worse than just wearing this fuku. Even that supposedly innocent Arabian. He sighed. K'so, was he ever going to get them for this.*
Heero just couldn't help but stare at the beautiful braided-baka in front of him. Those long, smooth legs from his thigh all the way down to the white laced sketchers he wore for shoes. Boy did black ever look so good and sexy on him. He's even more kawaii when he's fidgeting and blushing the way he is right now. *What are you thinking?! This is Duo we're talking here! How can you possibly look at your friend like that? He'd be so disgusted with you.* Heero blinked and turned his head away. *It's only lust. Nothing more.* he once again reverted back to being the perfect soldier he 'supposedly' was, trying his hardest to get the braided pilot's image far away from his mind.
Wufei stared at him, both smirking and smiling at the same time. *I've got to admit Maxwell, you look totally sexy. Knew you were the perfect one to play this role. Hmm… Even the fake breast looks so real. Winner sure knows how to make you look great. Not too much make up and not too less either. Just perfect…. Like it would have mattered. It's Maxwell we're talking about here. Hmph. Not bad, not bad. But I know it's only lust.* His smirk grew.
The silent one was not surprised in the least. Well, not really, anyways. I mean, he did know that Duo would look stunning when dressed as a girl, even so when he didn't, but he knew so would Quatre. He just couldn't believe that he'd look better when blushing. Hmm… he could and would say the same about his koibito. He looked over at Heero and then at Wufei. From the looks in their eyes…hmph.. This was going to be one show he was definitely going to be watching, let's put it that way. Probably not watching at Wufei though. Mainly lust in those eyes. It would have been funny though but probably better since his attention mainly focused on J's perfect soldier. Yep, this is gonna be one hell of a mission… Yes, indeed…..

"Demo onee-chan!!! Doushite??!!" Lina whined to her older sister, tugging on her shirt. Luna just simply stood there, unfazed with her arms crossed, not listening to a word the younger sorceress said. "C'mon Zel! Help me convince my nee-chan!! I don't _want_ to go to school!! Onegai!!!"
The chimera sighed. "It won't be bad Lina. I've been to school before and it's not bad." He tried to convince her.
"Easy for you to say!! I've never been to school ever since I was six years old!!! And I don't plan on going back!! Not then, not now, not ever!" the redhead shouted, crossing her arms, a big frown on her face. "……So not fair…. Since Gourry decided to go back to Sairaag and settle down with Sylphiel and Amelia back to Seryuun, we decided to come back and visit you nee-chan. And instead of welcoming me back home, you make us go back to school. I don't wanna….It's not like I need school anyways… I already know how to read and stuff like that. Hmph."
"Liiiiinnaaaa….." Luna growled. Lina froze, unconsciously backing away and gulping as if her life were to end any second. Shoot, if she were in drama class or something like that right now, she'd win as an Oscar nominee, not to mention a giant trophy to come with it. After standing safely behind Zelgadis… "Aa nee-chan?" she squeaked out, barely above a whisper.
"_Because_ you haven't been to school since you were six, that's why you're going back now." Luna said sternly, her eyes somewhat in a glaring matter, eyeing her sister menacingly. "Understood?" she raised her voice a bit higher. Lina cowered even more, shaking all over now and nodded immediately, no second thoughts in that smart brain of hers. *Now you've done it Lina, now you've done it! You mad her mad!! Baka! You're gonna be so dead!!* But what her friend said brought her out of her thoughts.
"Well, Lina. I guess this is sayonara then." Zel looked at his friend. He stepped aside and turned to her. "Have fun at school."
"Nani??!! Demo Zel--!"
"I'm sure we'll meet again next time and hopefully by then, I'll find my cure." He turned away from her to leave the house but Luna stepped in front of him, making him halt in his tracks. He looked up at her.
"She isn't the only one going to school, Zelgadis Graywords." she simply said.
He looked at her suspiciously. "And what do you mean by that?" He then turned his gaze out the window.
"…Put it this way, Zelgadis. If you attend the school… I'm pretty sure, you'll find what you've been looking for, if you know what I mean……" That caught his attention. He jerked his head up towards her once again, wide eyed. *Did he hear right? Did Lina's sister just say what he thought she said?* He opened his mouth to speak but she beat him to it. "That's exactly what I said." she stated as if reading his thoughts. To say at the least he was surprised but whether he was or not, you couldn't tell. Put it this way…if he was surprised, he would be a wonderful actor not to show one bit of it that he was rendered speechless.
Instead, he crossed his arms. "Hmph. It could just be a lie or another phony 'cure'." he said coldly, not meeting her gaze.
"I assure you it's not a lie…." she paused for a second. "If you don't believe me then you can leave… I'm not going to stop you." With that said, he turned towards the exit and reached for the doorknob but she spoke again, catching his attention, once again and he halted. "However… there is a fifty-fifty chance that it could be the cure for your…state yet it can also be not. If it is, then you're losing a great opportunity to change back to human. Shicashi…if not, then you're doing the right thing. You'll never know unless you go. But of course…. That's _your_ choice and no one else's." she said with a half innocent, half smirking kind of look.
Zel scowled at that, clenching his fists. He hated to admit it but she was right. It could be his cure and yet, it could be just another phony too. And he wasn't going to figure out the truth unless he went. K'so, he hated this. He knew that if he didn't go, he'd truly regret it. I mean, like she said, it could be the cure and he just threw the perfect opportunity away. He sighed. He'd never live the end of it with the guilt that would jus nag him to death.
"C'mon Zel! It could your cure like nee-chan said! You'll never know unless you at least try and check it out!! What have you got to lose?!" she then paused, two of her fingers on her chin thinking. A frown slowly mad it way onto her face. "Well… I guess there is something to lose. I mean, it could not be the cure." she mumbled but the other two still heard and he frowned too. She then looked up with a pouty look. "Eto, that's not the point…'Sides…… you're not gonna let me go to school alone are you?…" she growled the last part as she raised a narrowed eye at him, her rage beginning to slowly build. He turned around and looked at his friend, absently gulping at the same time when he saw her mad and red-of-fury face. One thing he knew, he definitely did _not_ want to be Dragon Slaved by the fiery petite sorceress.
"But… where there's a school… there's a lot of people and you know about how I feel when it comes to crowds…." he trailed off with reason. Lina nodded, laying a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry about it Zel! They won't dare say a word since I'm gonna be there. I'll fireball them if they as to so much give you a glare." she smiled at him. He sighed. But he supposed they did have a point and they were right though…. eto…why not then.. He tiredly nodded, letting out another sigh. He somehow knew he was definitely going to regret it, but he didn't exactly have a choice in the matter anyways. Well…what's done is done. All he had to do now was just hope that it would all end soon… He really couldn't help but let out another exasperating sigh.
"Sugoi!! Zel's coming too! Now I don't have to Dragon Slave your ass just to make you come too." she grinned at him. He turned a bit pale and gulped again, sighing in relief that he did agree. Oi, look on the bright side. At least Lina's going to be there too. You're not going to be alone…
"Good. I'm glad you agreed, Zelgadis." hearing his name brought him out of his thoughts and he turned to Luna. "The two of you will be attending Millers Academy. Most likely living there since they have dorms. I already have your uniforms, you each have a few pairs of them to change or in case it gets dirty or something like that."
"Chotto matte yo. Millers Academy?" Zel asked, just to make sure. Luna nodded. Lina saw him frown and her brows scrunched up in confusion and curiosity.
"Doushite Zel? Something wrong?" she quirked her head to the side.
"Betsuni. <nothing>.. It's just that that was the school I went to. It just….brings back memories, that's all." he said with a small sigh, shaking his head.
"Sugoi! At least you know the place!" she beamed.
"Aa… but other than that, it's in the Outer World… Unless she's talking about another Millers Academy." he grumbled.
Luna shook her head. "Iya. Same one you're talking about… But that's right. It _is_ in the Outer World."
"Matte… If it's in the Outer World…" she trailed off thinking about what they just said. Then frowned. Something wasn't right. She then turned to Zel, her hands on her hips. "How could you have gone to the Millers Academy in the Outer World when the spell barrier had just broken when Hellmaster died not long ago? I mean if what you say is true, then I'm pretty sure that you went to school before that happened, ne? So how was that possible?"
"Hmm… I guess I forgot to tell you huh?" he absently asked.
She glared at him. "Forgot to tell me what?!"
He sighed. "You see, there was a special underground passageway where I live which was near the barrier that my parents and Rezo found. And apparently, more likely surprisingly… the barrier had no affect on it…. Anyways, they would sometimes go in and out through the passageway to the Outer World and back. They also decided to send me to school out there cause you know that the Outer World don't exactly associate with magic and all. And they didn't want me to have anything that dealt with magic, well, my parents didn't. So I would leave home in the morning to attend school there and when school was over, I would have to come straight back home through the passageway. It was too bad I didn't exactly get to go anywhere but school though."
"And how come no one, namely _I_, knew about it?!…Hmm?!!" Lina fumed, crossing her arms and tapping her foot.
"I'm not sure about the not telling anyone else matter but as for you, Lina. You never asked. Besides, the barrier was already broken so it doesn't really matter anyways."
"Nanda de??!!!!…._I_ never asked???!!!! First of all, _I_ never knew about it in the first place!!!" she was about to walk over to him and pound his ass even though she knew it was just going to hurt herself anyways, but that was besides the point. If she couldn't hit him with her bare fists, she'd gladly find a weapon somewhere. It's times like these that she wish she had a mace with her just like how Filia did, tucked under her dress.
Boy did he ever regretted making the short-tempered sorceress blow her top. Now he was going to get it. I mean, it didn't hurt one bit when she used her fists but that would make her _more_ pissed off than she was right now and she might fireball him. Sure he knew magic and was pretty god at it, but he certainly knew that he was no match for her. Fortunately for the chimera, Lady Luck was with him just this once and L-sama was he ever grateful. Luna walked between the two, making Lina paused before she bumped into her. To say at the least, Lina was mainly startled that her sister would interfere with such a matter. She opened her mouth to say something but then decided against it for the better and shut her mouth again. The taller girl then headed out of the room but suddenly paused, not looking back in the process though. "Oh yea, I almost forgot. I already signed you guys in. And also… the both of you will begin school soon. I expect you guys to get to Millers Academy in precisely ten days so stop fooling around. You guys had better start packing…especially you Lina…if you know what's good for you. After all, I have connections there so they'll know to alert me when you guys arrive at the academy." And she proceeded out of the room.
"Nanda de??!! Nee-chan!!! We only have ten days to get there??!! That's sooo not fair…"
"Ah yes…one more thing Lina." Luna stuck her head out from the hall a few seconds later. "you'd better behave. No using any magic of some sort in school. If I receive one bad report from school about you………." Luna didn't finish her sentence and just smirked at her. Lina gulped and completely paled at that. If she wasn't leaning on the table then, she would have seriously fainted for that matter.
