Do You Remember?
a Slayers fanfiction by Dragonhealer
"You call that a flare arrow? Oh, for the love of Ceipheid, how many
times must we go through this?" Lina's loud and frustrated voice
could be heard within a three-mile radius.
A large sweatdrop appeared on Sylphiel's head. "But Lina, I am doing
the best that I can," she said with a nervous smile. Nearby, Gourry,
Amelia and Zelgadis were patiently sitting on a huge boulder,
watching. Gourry was cleaning his sword.
Sylphiel had asked Lina to give her lessons on improving her attack
spells. It was a bright and crispy afternoon, so the timing was
perfect. They had settled on an empty field just a few miles from
Sairaag. However, they were not making a lot of progress. After
several attempts, where Sylphiel's flare arrows were nothing more than
sparkles, Lina was beginning to give up. "Just how is it that a
shrine maiden who is able to cast the most powerful black magic spell
like the Dragon Slave can't even cast a spell as simple as a flare
arrow?" an exasperated Lina asked out loud.
Sylphiel looked at the young sorceress who had her head down. Calmly
she walked up to her. She gently placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Lina, may I show you my fireball? I have been practicing, really."
Lina looked up at Sylphiel's pretty face. She sighed. "Oh, all
right. But don't forget that we still need to work on your flare
arrow," she said. "Now, why don't you try shooting at that boulder
next to the one the others are on?"
Sylphiel saw where she was pointing. "OK, here goes." She closed her
eyes and concentrated hard, getting into position. After a few
minutes, she yelled out, "Fireball!" A huge ball of fire appeared in
her hands and shot directly towards the boulder. Unfortunately, she
did not concentrate on her aiming.
"Look out!" Zelgadis shouted. Gourry struggled to get off from the
boulder. Amelia casted a shield just in time. The fireball hit the
shield and disappeared. Everyone looked at Sylphiel, who looked like
she was going to faint. She slowly turned her head towards a flaming
Lina. The red-haired sorceress was starting to lose her patience.
"Sylphiel......." but before she could say anything else Sylphiel ran
off. "Hey, where are you going?" Lina shouted. But the shrine
maiden refused to turn back.
Two hours later Lina and the others found Sylphiel sitting on the
grass next to a lake. It was getting close to sunset. The sky was a
bright orange. She looked like she had been crying. Lina walked up
to her and sat next to her. "Hey, it's okay. I'm not mad. We can
try again if you want." She looked at Sylphiel, was still staring at
the lake. Lina could no longer stand seeing her sad. "Come on, cheer
up!" she said happily. Silence.
Lina shook her head and began to stand up when Sylphiel spoke up.
"Lina, do you remember when we fought Copy Rezo?"
Lina stopped and looked her. "Yes, why?" She noticed Sylphiel was
shuddering.
"And.....when.....you took the hit for me......and when you fell....."
Lina was surprised. "Sylphiel...."
Sylphiel turned to face her with tears in her eyes. "It was my fault
that you almost died. If I hadn't gotten in the way that never
wouldn't have happened!"
The others had come closer to the two and had overheard. Lina was
quiet for a minute. She watched as Sylphiel cried. "Sylphiel, don't
you remember what happened next? You saved my life." Sylphiel
stopped crying and before she realized it, Lina was a few inches from
her face. "I owe you so much," she said quietly, and she cupped
Sylphiel's face and kissed her. When it was over, Sylphiel was
staring at her. Lina just smiled. "Consider it a friendly kiss."
"That's right, if it hadn't been for you, Lina would not be standing
here comforting you. If you weren't there we would have never been
able to defeat Copy Rezo," Zelgadis said in a cheering voice.
"Yeah, Sylphiel. You really helped us out." Gourry smiled.
"Miss Sylphiel, I must say that I was very proud of your
accomplishment. You are an important member in our group," Amelia
added.
Sylphiel smiled and wiped away her tears. "Thanks, everyone. Lina, I
promise I will do my best to mastering my attack spells."
"That's the spirit!" Lina slapped Sylphiel's back hard, nearly
knocking her over. "Now what do you say we take a break and continue
tomorrow? I'm starving!"
As the others walked back toward Sairaag, they suddenly remembered
what Lina just did. "Lina likes girls?" Gourry asked.
"Better not think too much about it," Zelgadis said as if it had never
happened.
"I never knew Miss Lina was that attracted to Miss Sylphiel," Amelia
commented.
Lina, who was way behind them and did not hear their comments, looked
back and saw that Sylphiel was still standing there. "Hey, what's up,
Sylphiel?"
"What? Oh, I'm sorry. I was just lost in my thoughts," Sylphiel
quickly responded, flashing a quick smile.
Shaking her head, Lina reached out and pulled Sylphiel, guiding her.
"You know, girls like us are supposed to get over our sad thoughts and
focus more on happy ones. We're supposed to be out having fun. Just
enjoy the delicious food we'll be having at the inn. You've been way
too gentle with your spells. It's like my sister always said, 'If you
concentrate more you will be more powerful.' She taught me all the
basic attack spells when I was only five years old back home. Take
Amelia. The strange thing about her is that unlike you, she could
never master the Dragon Slave, but like you she is able to cast the
most powerful healing spells. It's a good thing, though, because
you're much more mature and responsible than she is, even if she is
Seyruun's princess. Who knows what horrible things she could do if
she ever learned the Dragon Slave....."
As Lina ranted on and on, concentrating on the path up ahead and
pulling Sylphiel's hand, the shrine maiden went back to her thoughts.
<She kissed me. She actually kissed me. But she says it's only a
'friendly kiss'. Then why do I feel like this? The only person whom
I have these kinds of feelings is dear Gourry. But Lina......she's
different. Dear Gourry just doesn't understand how I feel about him.
That battle we had.....Lina took the hit for me.....when I saw her
bleeding on the ground......it was she who saved me first.....so far
he has not done anything like that.....do I even love dear Gourry? Or
is it Lina who's the object of my affection? Oh dear.....what's
happening to me? Why are my feelings shifting from him to her? She
probably has no romantic feelings for dear Gourry. He's simply her
protector. She even laughed when I asked her if it were true. Lina
Inverse......my friend.....my dear friend.....>
"Hello? Anyone in here?" Lina gently knocked on Sylphiel's head.
Sylphiel realized they had already arrived at the inn and it was
already getting dark. She looked into Lina's red eyes and felt
embarrassed. "I'm sorry....I was...." But Lina held up her hand.
"No offense, but you had better save it for later. It's time to eat!"
Sylphiel watched as the usual fight between Gourry and Lina took
place. Zelgadis was quietly sipping tea while Amelia ate with more
grace. <Honestly, they act like they're brother and sister than their
actual relationship. Maybe it's true. Maybe I do feel more towards
Lina. She says she owes me for saving her life, but it should be me
who owes her. And I learned how to cast the Dragon Slave from her.>
"Miss Sylphiel? Aren't you hungry?" Amelia politely asked.
"Oh? Oh yes. Excuse me. I was just thinking." Sylphiel decided to
put her thoughts aside and concentrated on her meal. She often
wondered how she was still able to eat at the same table where Lina
and Gourry were continuing their ravaging behavior.
"What? There are only three rooms left?" The owner of the inn nodded
his head. Lina sighed. "This is what happens when we get back to
town late."
"Lina, I apologize. You were so busy giving me lessons that we had
lost track of time, and if I hadn't run away, we would have gotten
here earlier, and......."
Lina was getting sick and tired of Sylphiel's tiresome apologizing.
She turned to face Sylphiel's green eyes. "All right, that's it.
You're sharing a room with me. Zelgadis, you share with Gourry, and
Amelia, you get to have the last one to yourself. Everybody okay with
that?" Everyone's nodding heads was more than enough for Lina to grab
Sylphiel's hand and drag her upstairs, while the others went back to
their business.
Inside the room, there was one large bed. Lina sat on the bed and
pulled Sylphiel down to her. Frustrated red eyes met nervous green
eyes. After a moment of silence Lina pressed her lips firmly against
Sylphiel's, while waving her hand. When she broke the kiss Sylphiel
asked, "Lina, what did you just do?" Lina smirked.
"What did it look like? I casted a silence spell outside our door.
That way no one can hear us."
Sylphiel was surprised then relaxed. Lina calmed down and flopped
down on the bed, while Sylphiel began to undress. "Sylphiel, just
what is wrong with you? You have been acting so strange these days.
You keep staring into space and forgetting where you are," she said as
she stared up at the ceiling. Sylphiel gathered her thoughts for a
while, then hovered over the red-haired sorceress. Lina noticed she
was only in her underwear.
"Lina......the reason why.....it's because.....since the battle with
Copy Rezo......I.....I never truly thanked you for saving my
life......that kiss you gave me.....it meant much more to me.....I
want to do something even more for you."
Lina just stared at her. <Just what is she thinking? Is she that
interested in me? That would mean she's over Gourry.....oh
wait......> She smiled. <That would be a good thing. She deserves
better than that baka. Right. We owe each other so much. She saved
my life. And she's the only one who's been so caring and kind to me,
better than the others.> "Sylphiel, if that is what you truly want to
do, then.....what did you have in mind?" Lina asked in a soft tone.
In response, Sylphiel kissed Lina's forehead and whispered in her ear.
Lina smiled and nodded her head. "But on one condition," she said in
a mysterious tone.
"What is it, dear Lina?"
Lina sat up and held her knees. "We're taking a bath. All that
training has really taken its toll on us. But let's not do anything
too extreme. I don't want Amelia to make another one of her justice
speeches if she catches us doing anything fishy," she said with a
wink.
Their bathtime went by without any problems. Lina couldn't help but
notice how perfect Sylphiel's body was. She had never been attracted
to another girl before. She had bathed with Amelia once, even let her
scrub her back, but it was nothing more than that. <It must be the
fact that we saved each other's life. She did so much for
me.......sweet Ceiphied.....I can't wait to touch her body.> Lina
thought dreamily.
When Amelia finished her bath and returned inside, Sylphiel slowly
approached Lina from behind and encircled her arms around the
sorceress' small body. Lina could feel Sylphiel's ample breasts being
pressed against her back. For once she was no longer concerned about
her own. "Dear Lina.....I love you," she whispered.
"I thought you loved Gourry," Lina spoke softly.
"I thought about it, and I realized something. It was you whom I had
truly loved. You understand, don't you?"
"Of course, otherwise I would have never kissed you," Lina responded,
as she relaxed into Sylphiel's arms. "It's about time you were over
jellyfish brains. I knew you had more common sense than that."
In response Sylphiel gently kissed Lina's neck while her hands felt up
Lina. "Oohhh......Sylphiel.....not now....please....."
"Of course, dear Lina. By the way, how long will that silence spell
last?"
"As long as I want it to be," Lina responded.
It was late at night. A bright full moon had appeared, shining
through the window and onto the two girls. Lina and Sylphiel sat on
the bed, naked and facing each other. Lina leaned in and kissed
Sylphiel passionately. She lowered her head and kissed down her
stomach, licking and sucking on her breasts. Sylphiel moaned softly.
"You have no idea I have dreamed of doing this with you," she spoke
softly in between kisses.
"As have I, dear Lina," Sylphiel responded as she pulled Lina into a
warm hug. Lina stopped and leaned her forehead against Sylphiel's
breast.
"Hey, Sylphiel. Tell me something. Did you ever dream of doing this
with Gourry?"
Sylphiel looked down at her. She caught the scent of Lina's hair.
Shaking her head, she responded, "No, dear Lina. I thought he would
never be able to satisfy me. It took me a long time to find out who I
truly loved. And it's you. You and I understand each other so much.
I want to be with you all the time. Lina....let me..."
She lowered her head and licked inside Lina's vagina, until she found
her clitoris. "Sylphiel.......yes......right
there......please.....oh......" Lina moaned out loud. She could feel
intense pleasure shooting up throughout her body. Sylphiel sucked and
licked, savoring all the juices Lina's body was producing.
"I'm glad I can please you, dear Lina." She sat on her knees and
kissed Lina hard. "Lina, how will the others take this?" Sylphiel
asked softly as her hands slowly entered Lina.
Lina smiled. "Gourry and the others will probably take this very
lightly. Knowing him, he'll probably think it's the greatest thing
ever. Whatever makes us happy, he's happy. I can never forget what
you have done for me."
Moments later......
"Lina......please.....I'm going to explode.....no more....." Sylphiel
was sweating profusely. Lina was lashing her tongue deep within
Sylphiel's vagina. She looked up at her.
"Are you sure? Have you had enough?" She was too weak to respond.
Sensing this, Lina helped her friend lay down, then lay down next to
her. Gently stroking her body and touching her breasts, Lina watched
as Sylphiel breathed heavily.
After catching her breath, Sylphiel smiled. "Thank you, dear Lina."
Lina shook her head and whispered, "It's not like we can't do this
again. I love you, Sylphiel. You have beautiful eyes. I had always
wanted to feel you, to touch you. I.....I'm sorry I hit you that
time. I should have known it was only an accident."
Sylphiel thought for a moment, then she remembered. "It's okay. I
should have been more careful."
Lina reached out and gently stroked Sylphiel's pretty face. "Why
don't we turn in? We still have to work on your lessons tomorrow."
Sylphiel smiled and closed her eyes.Lina put her arm around her
sleeping friend and fell asleep with a smile.
