# Slayers Life

Sometimes, things weren't always as they seem. At least, that's how Gourry saw things. He looked next to him, to see Lina sleeping peacefully. It had seemed like forever, yet like it had just begun. Slowly he brushed back a lock of her hair, staring out the window. Things hadn't always been that simple. Even before he Met Lina Inverse. He grinned at the name, knowing it was no longer. No, of course not. Lina Inverse was not there, but there was a Lina Gabiev in her place. But, that was getting off track. Though he seemed to do that a lot.. Specially when he wasn't listening...

He remembered giving up the sword of light. That was a hard thing to do. It had been in his family ever since he could remember.. When he could remember that is. He loved that sword.. But, it was a double edged blade. He used to hate that thing.. Cursing and ignoring its care. But it wasn't the sword he realized he hated.. It was what had happened because of it.

Slowly he began to drift off. And as he did, he dreamed. Dreamed of his long cursed past. Well, once cursed. Now he was thankful. Heck, he wouldn't have met Lina if he wasn't.. We'll that was another story.

"Come on grandpa, lemme see the sword one more time!" A young boy eagerly begged. He was promised one day to be able to use it, but he was still young.. "I'll just look, i promise!"

"Joshua, i said no." His grandfather said softly. He patted his head, knowing this conversation would just keep going on.. "I hear you mother calling for supper."

A chibish Gourry then popped his head in, glaring at the sword of light, but hesitating. "Big brother, dinners ready!" He exclaimed, more then a little excited. Granted, the boy loved to eat. He looked about ten, his hair down his back to his bum. It was tied tightly into a braid.

Both Josh and his grandfather smiled at the young one. He wasn't the brightest little thing at times, but he sure knew how to eat. Soon they were at the table. And,as everyone guessed, Gourry was digging in.

"Father, I really think we should clean up that old Sword.. It would be perfect for my compitiosons and things, and-" Gourry's father started. Things had always been that way, and dinner had always been the same. But tonight.. Tonight would be a different story.

"Son, I've said no L-Sama knows how many times! You know the Legendary Sword of Light wasn't made for that!" Gourry's grandfather responded, slamming his fist upon the table dramaticly. He let a growl escape his lips. "Boy.. It seems thats all you care about, all you ever talk about!"

Gourry's fathers eyes narrowed as he stood. "Listen, Father." He said angrily, looking into his eyes. "I've worked long and hard all my life, all i want is to have some fun and maybe become a her-"

"Become a hero?" Laughed the grandfather. "Hah! Give me a break boy! There's nothing to be a hero of! Put those dreams away, we need the quiet.." He sounded as if he knew something. But of course, that was a secret.

Gourry had been listening closely for some reason that night. He was scared of how his father was acting.. Like.. Like it wasn't his father or something. He bit his lower lip in thought. "Dad, its just like any other Sword only with light at the end, why do you want that one so bad?" He asked in a quiet voice.

His fathers eyes darted to him. He felt the sweat forming on the back of his neck. "What do you mean, like any other sword? Have you EVER paid any attention? I can't believe i could have such a stupid son!"

The words sunk into his skull as he began to shiver. He heard his mother yelling something at his father.. Then Josh yelling.. Then Grandpa leaving the table.. Soon he was up himself. He excused himself before running out of the room. He hid his tears, for men couldn't cry! He fell back down the hall,looking at his Grandfather now, which he just ran into.

"Follow me." The old man said, walking to the room where the sword of light was held. And that was where.. Where his life changed.

Gourry felt a poke, and another. He moved a bit, and heard some giggles. "N..Nani?" He asked, waking up from his sleep, and from his dream. "Oi.. Lin-" Then he stopped himself, looking at the small girl. A small blush spread across his face, as it always had. She was face to face with him, and of course, her lips were on his. Not that he didn't enjoy it...

"Geez! You always sleep in!" Lina growled, pulling him up. Her hair was in her face, as her crimson eyes flashed at him. She was wearing his shirt, like she had every night since they had become married. She then fell to her knees, knowing she would never raise him. "Alright then, get up." She said, just the tiniest bit tired.

Gourry then stood, taking Lina and throwing her on his shoulder. "Come on Lina, i swear, your so light!" He carried her till they got to to the baths, where they went their separate ways.

Soon he was sinking down in the water in his birthday suit. He was quite fit and well.. Lets not get into that. He had his hair loose down his back. It had grown quite long.. He let his arms fall loosely to his sides, nose deep in the water. His train of thought began again.. Slow thought, none the less.. He closed his eyes, letting the water flow over his hottie form.

"Listen carefully, Gourry-Chan." His grandfather told him, knelling to his level and putting a hand on his head. "Look at the sword.." He instructed slowly, as the young boy followed. "That sword I-Was the pride of our family.. You understand?" The boy nodded, and he continued. "Remember how Grandpa always taught you how to sword fight?" He saw the boy nod once again. He didn't know if he understood or not.. But there was no time. His sons dreams had been going... Wrong. There had been very bad nightmares. He felt bad about peering into his own son's dreams like that.. But.. "Gourry, Grandpa has been teaching you this for a reason.." He didn't know how he was going to say this.. Or even if he would believe the old man. But, he had to try. "I promised this girl, a while ago.." Actually, it had been a very long while ago.. But.. "I promised her something I couldn't full fill.. But, it seems like you can carry out this destiny." Yes, he had been having dreams again. No, not those wacky dreams like old fools who die in their sleep. He meant dreams.. Dreams telling him of a path he must follow. "Gourry-Chan.. I don't want things to get any worse then they already are... Gourry, not now, for you are to young.. but soon, very soon, you must leave this place. You must bring the sword with you. It will be the only survival of our family, you understand?" He didn't know why he didn't send out Josh.. He was older and all... But, he felt as though he would grow to have the same affections as his father. Though.. it could also do with how he always dreamt of sending Gourry instead of Josh out.. He didn't know why. It only seemed right.

Gourry slowly nodded as everything rushed to his brain. It was so hard for him to comprehend such a thing.. Leaving the only family he's ever known with the beloved family treasure? This was insane! Plus.. His father was right.. He was stupid. He always knew that.. Looking into his grandfathers eyes, he only saw how hurt he was by doing this. It must also been hard for him.. He thought.

"We need to train before anything.. And you need to grow. No sense in a young boy like yourself wandering around at your age." His voice turned into a light whisper. "But soon my boy, soon we will have you leave, and it will help your family.. And i have a feeling your destiny as well."

Gourry blinked as he opened his eyes. He mustve feel asleep.. How long had he been in here? He asked himself, looking down to his purny fingers. Yep, time to get out.. Slowly he eased his built body out of the water, letting it drip slowly from his soft, fine skin. His glaze went to that of his clothing. And..

The thought occurred to him that.. It was missing. Uh oh. He slowly sunk back into the water. Did someone steal them? Ano... While he was sleeping? Who'd do something like that though.. Then a thought came to mind as he got back up, grabbed a towel, and headed out. He didn't care about the stares or blushes he was getting as he pasted the people in the hall. They all looked at him funny.. He just blushed himself, taking on a small jog back to his room. When he opened the door he had the largest sweatdrop of all time..

"Gourry! Geez.." The small sorceress giggled, the pile of clothes on the bed in front of her, as she began to point and laugh. She was wearing her robe and brushing her hair.

He glared at her. "What are you laughing at?" he said, advancing on her and trying to keep the towel from slipping. It was an awfully small towel.

"At you," she said with a giggle, scooting back across the bed to put it between them. He reached for his clothes and she twitched them out of the way. "I don't think so!" she crowed, holding them up like a trophy.

"Come on, Lina! Give me my clothes!" He lurched across the bed but she danced out of reach. He reached out to grab her, letting go of the towel as he did so. It slipped down his hips and she dashed in and twitched it away. "Ack! Lina!" he shouted, dropping to the bed and lying flat on his stomach.

"Nice view," she said from somewhere behind him. He pushed himself up and looked over his shoulder. She was standing by the window, holding up the stolen towel and openly admiring his backside. He took a deep breath in resignation then a wicked grin appeared on his face. He jumped off the bed, reached out and grabbed her wrist and dragged her back to him, pinning her against him with one arm.

"Ah! Gourry! No fair!" she said, struggling.

"And taking my clothes was?" he said. He put his arm around her waist and sat back on the bed, pulling her back against him. His hand had slipped inside her robe and was currently resting on a very sensitive spot.

"That's different!" she said, giggling in spite of herself. She leaned back against him and closed her eyes as he kneaded her breast. "Oh, that feels good," she whispered.

"Mmmm..." was Gourry's response. He took his hand out of her robe and transferred his hold on her wrist to that hand. Using his newly freed hand, he pulled her hair out of her neck so he could kiss it. He traced intricate little patterns on her skin right on the pressure point.

Lina reared back against him as his attentions caused some very interesting reactions in her lions. She cooed as he changed over from licking and kissing to nipping. Her robe had fallen open to reveal her breasts. Gourry put his free hand over her breast and kneaded it, rolling her distended nipple between his fingers.

"Uhnuh..." she breathed. She felt something pressing against her buttocks through the thin fabric of her robe and she lifted herself further, rubbing against his arousal. She smiled languidly as she heard him gasp.

"Gourry," she whispered, rubbing harder. The fabric of her short robe rode up and over him so that his flesh was pressing against hers.

"Whah?" he mumbled against her neck just under her ear now. He took her ear between his lips and tugged on it.

But she'd forgotten what she wanted to say. He was kissing her jawline. She turned her head, lips parted, and met his lips in a desperate, yearning kiss. She put her free hand behind his head and sat up further, opening her legs and allowing his manhood to slip between her legs. He moaned deep in his throat and thrust his hips forward to rub against her. He let go of her hand so he could slip his hand down between her legs. He pressed the head of his member against her most intimate area. Lina murmured something and rocked her hips against him, shuddering with pleasure. She did this a few minutes, then pulled away and turned around. She put both hands behind his head and drew him into a deep kiss.

Gourry pulled her close as he sat back on his heels. He lifted her up and pulled her close until she was sitting on his lap facing him. He jerked the fabric of her robe out of the way and lifted himself onto his knees to press against her. Lina had her head thrown back slightly, her eyes closed and panting softly as he pressed against her there.

Leaning forward, he kissed the delicate arch of her neck. He ran his hand up to her shoulder and down her arm to her hand. She tried to lace her fingers with his, but he firmly grasped her hand and guided it down between them. He curled her fingers around him. She picked up on his desire and stroked him, alternating between a firm grip and lightly running her fingertips over him.

Shifting forward, she positioned the head of his manhood against her opening and pushed down with her hips. Gourry put his hands under her buttocks and pulled her close to him, sliding into her. Their voices mingled in a low, drawn out moan as Lina pushed herself further onto him.

She looked at him and kissed him. Twisting into his hair, her hands cupped the back of his head as she pulled at his lips with hers. His own hands bunched up the fabric of her robe and stroked her back. Lina put her hands on his shoulders and pushed him onto his back so that she was sitting straddled above him. Her back arched as she pushed herself down onto his length and she let out a soft keening cry of pleasure.

The swordsman pulled at the belt to her robe, pulling it from around her waist so her robe fell open to reveal her breasts. He cupped them, feeling the way they fit perfectly into his hands, and enjoying the reactions he was getting. Lina let the robe slip off her shoulders and to the floor then put her hands over his and encouraged his caresses. Then she put them behind her head, catching up her hair and rocking her hips back and forth. Gourry watched her, fascinated by her movements. He couldn't move much, save to thrust upwards slightly each time she sat down harder, but even that was enough to send his mind racing.

After a time, Lina's movements became more urgent. She leaned forward, placing her hands on his chest and leaning her weight on him. Her head was bowed and her hair fell in fragrant waves around him. "Gourry..." she breathed, rocking harder and harder against him. He put his hands on her tiny waist and held her while she shuddered and moved steadily up and down his flesh.

Then, throwing her head back, she called out his name and sat down hard on him. His own hips bucked as he strained upwards to enter that flesh that alternately gripped and released him. She pulled upwards as he fell back only to sit down again with equal force. Something exploded within him and he felt himself reach his own climax. Blindly, he reached out and pulled her down and found her mouth by feel alone then kissed her deeply.

When it was over, both lay limply on the tangled bed sheets, both covered with sweat. Gourry held her against him tightly and Lina lay her cheek against his chest and smiled contentedly. "I could use another bath," she murmured, turning her head and lightly kissing his skin.

"I just want to lie here," he said with a grin. He shifted his hips, moving within her. She gasped and clenched her hand where it lay on his chest as his movements set off pleasurable aftershocks.

"Ooo..." she cooed. "Do that again."

"Sorry," he murmured. "Can't. Too tired."

She pushed herself up and looked at him. "Oh, well. We'll do it again later when you've rested." Giggling, she moved hair that had fallen in his eyes, and looked into them with such intensity that it seemed that she could never look away. Such a deep blue... Finally she rolled off of him, smiling. "Well, since your lazy... And I"m not.. I'm gonna go take another bath.." She cringed when she remembered how weird they were going to think she was since it was her second time down there and all...

Gourry nodded, closing his eyes and putting his hands behind his head. Yes, he was a very content man. "Try and hurry.." He said softly, then yawned. He opened one eye, glaring at her one last time. "We gotta leave soon, cause you know we can't afford another night." Then he closed his eyes again, retaining his content look.

Lina cocked an eyebrow, putting back on her robe and putting a hand to her hip. "You're... Geez..." She shook her head, walking out the door.

This is the part where Gourry began to drift off to sleep... And he sighed, as his dream started to form in his mind.

A young man woke up in the middle of the night, and met his grandfather in the training hall. Their eyes met, and Gourry smiled. "I'm ready." He whispered. He was secretly torn. He would deeply miss his family.. Specially his grandfather.. But he was insisted that he do it. And it was for the best. He just couldn't shake the feeling that something wonderful would come out of this, though he didn't know what. He was stronger then he used to be.. He was about sixteen...

Rowdy's eyes trembled though he might cry. "Be careful.." He whispered to his grandson. He took his shoulder, and handed him the sheathed sword. Then he looked out the opened door. "Boy.. Make you're future.. And when it is secure...Come home." He said slowly.

Gourry hugged his grandfather then, and quickly took the sword and ran out the door. A tear fell from his eye, for he knew he wouldn't be back for a very long time...

The blonde swordsman woke with a start, feeling a quick jab from the side. It wasn't a very hard jab.. But a jab nonetheless. "What the-!" He started, hearing suppressed giggled in the background. "Are we ready?" He asked, tilting his head at her.

Lina nodded, brushing her hair back. "But first... I think you should get dressed." She winked at his very naked form, and he blushed sheepishly and rushed to be dressed.

Soon they were on the road again, and their arms were around each other. Both had bread in their mouth, which were idly chewed. He felt Lina's head rest against his chest, and he felt comfortable like that. Then something clicked in his brain.

"Hey Li-" He began, but was stopped by a traveling sales person on a horse. He looked sorta weird.. And they wondered why he was wearing so much damn armor. The man stood in front of them, getting off his horse, and held up a package.

"Excuse me sir.. Ma'am. It seems as though you've had a hot morning.." He began in an unusually deep voice, his horse naying in reply. "I'd just like to know if you'd like to try these new latex-" He held out something that looked similar to a balloon.

Lina blinked, then she got annoyed. "FIRE BALL!" She screamed, then added, "Like hes gunna know.." She slightly blushed, thinking back. "Gourry! Don't look at me like that!"

Gourry just kept on giving her that look, as they ignored the toasted knight in the background. Then he grabbed her by the waist, hugging her. She looked surprised, as she felt the warmth of his breath upon her ear. "Lina.. I-I wanna see my family.." He whispered, trying to keep the homesick feeling away from his stomach. He couldn't help but sound just a little pitiful..

Lina's eyes softened as she slowly moved out of his grasped, and turned to face him. Her hands touched the sides of his face, roughly dragging him to her level. "Where is your house?"

"Eh?" He asked.

"Where di- Do you live?" She asked again, totally serious. "We'll finish our duties.. You know, like be body guard and urg.. Things we do for money.." She rolled her eyes.

She was then picked up and twirled in the air, it was a good day for Gourry Gabriev. He smiled as she giggled over him. Then gently she was set down.

"But.. You know we promised Phil.. We'd be body guards for Nag- Princess Gracia.." She rolled her eyes at the name. "He said it'll only last a few months.. I only agreed 'cuz I thought it'd be nice to see Amelia and Zel again.. But i hate staying at one place so long."

Gourry nodded, and soon, they were on their way.

A few months later, as promised, Lina and Gourry Gabriev were on their way. Both were very nervous, as Gourry felt a small arm grip tighter to his. "Your okay!" He insisted.

"Your not the one meeting someone for the very first time who's suppose to be your family yet they don't even know about you!" She let out in one large breath, then looked at her husband. The house was in the distance.. And clearly seen.

His blue eyes shone, as the blonde haired man stopped, looking forward. "Lina.. This is my house.. This is where i grew up and stuff.." He gripped his wife's hand proudly, as she smiled.

"I still say we should go back to Amelia and Zel." She said smartly. She stopped though, she got lifted from the ground, and picked up over Gourry's shoulder. Then he made his way to his old household. "Oi!" She screamed defensively like this..

Gourry smirked as they stood at the door. He slowly put Lina down, and put his arm on her shoulder both being sweet.. And keeping her in place. He closed his eyes for a few minutes, not even sure if he should knock or let himself in.. When an older woman opened the door. His eyes widened.. As did hers. Her hair was grey and just below her shoulders, her skin wrinkled and aged, though at the same time, looking beautiful.

The older woman slowly moved forward, and touched Gourry's face tenderly. Tears fell slowly from her eyes as she formed a long awaited smile. "Gourry? My child.. Is that really you...?" She asked, tilting her head. Only after he nodded did he get dragged into the door... Lina in tow.

"Wah? GAH?!" Lina spat in confusion, getting pulled through the open door. She blinked, falling on the ground. Then, looking around her, she saw four other people besides the woman who dragged them in. She turned to Gourry, brushing hair from her eyes. "Oi.. This your family?"

His eyes scanned the room. His family.. He felt where his Sword of Light used to be held.. He gave away that reason for new ones. What could he tell them? Their was so much he wanted to say... He turned to Lina, helping her up. "Hai.. It's my family. He gulped, they all seemed to be looking at Lina now.. "Oi.. This is Lina." He said as calmly as he could, his voice still seeming to go high pitched by the end. He's Grandfather advanced, pulling his arms around him.

"Boy.. I told you you would find your future.." He said, looking so very tired. He pulled back, looking at Lina and sweatdropping at her angry face. Uh oh..

"Old Man!" Lina began, eyes narrowing. "You didn't keep your promise!" She growled at him, hearing him laugh only made it worse. Then it finally clicked.. "Your still alive?"

The old man chuckled softly, his blue eyes gleaming with pride. "I'm sorry my dear.. But something lucky HAS happened... And if it wasn't for me... He wouldn't even be here."

Gourry tilted his head in confusion as both his parents and grandmother blushed. She ran to Rowdy and hit him swiftly over the head with her hand, making him almost fall.

"Rowdy Gabiev! How dare you say such things about private matters!" The older woman complained, and Rowdy seemed to be cowering.

"M-Meliroon!" He exclaimed, slowly taking her hands. "Its not what i meant, okay?" Don't be mad!" You could hear the urgency in his voice, making Lina smirk.

The small sorceress sighed, finally standing. She looked around the group, their faces.. Ano.. Their faces staring at her! "H-Hi!" Lina stammered, forcing out the words and waving. Man.. That looked stupid! What was she gonna do now?! She thought. She put her hands behind her back, looking into their eyes. She backed up a bit, straight into Gourry.. Who finally said something. Well.. After she elbowed him..

"Ehh.. Ano.." Gourry spat out, holding his stomach. He then patted Lina's head and then scratched the back of his own. "When's dinner?" He asked, avoiding the thing that was probably entering their minds about now.

"Gourry..." Lina said in a low tone, her hand in a fist. "You.. You just meet your parents.. We take out time to go MEET your parents.. And you ask when dinner is?!" She shouted, punching him.

"I..Itai! Lina why are you so mad?! Aren't you hungry too?" He asked, holding the arm that was slugged. "Your so violent! Geez.. No wonder people mistake you as a - "

"That's it!" The sorceress screamed, beginning a fire ball.

"DON'T!" Cried Gourry's mother, holding up her delicate hands. "I just cleaned this room for one! Another thing.. Gourry! Stop being mean to this young lady! Who is she.. Anyway?"

This made both Lina and Gourry blushed. That was one thing they hadn't thought of.. Telling his parents. How stupid of them!

Meliroon spoke up knowingly, but also knew teasing then would be fun.. "Well.. Lina.. Let me just get some bedding and.." She grinned, watching them get nervous. She let the words slide just a bit...

"Eh! Ano.. That's.." Gourry began.. "Its okay.. I can share my room." He told his grandmother, making his mothers eyes go wide. He laughed a bit nervously.

"Gourry Gabriev! You know your suppose to wait till - !" The middle aged woman cried, but was cut off by Lina's voice.

The small form slowly moved forward, her eyes looking to his mother with a bit of fear. She had never felt this kind of fear.. Was she, nervous? "He.. He did.." She stated, making her mouth gap open. She blushed, laughing.

The family all smiled at once, oh yeah, they were nervous. It all came out so suddenly.. Lina knew what was going to happen.. She did the only thing she could... Brace herself for impact.

After Lina had been jumped by multiple family members, they went off to eat. They told his family about their adventures. Of course, his family was amazed at how they ate, so quick.. They thought that they would never stop eating. Till.. Lina came to a dead halt. The fork was right by her lips, food intact... But.. She couldn't eat it..

"Oi.. Lina, are you okay?" Gourry asked, full of worry. He watched her sit there, staring at her fork. Her face was slowly turning green.. "Ano.. Lina?" He asked, as she bolted out the door. "I guess she wasn't okay.."

Josh looked where Lina had sat, sweatdrop forming. "So.. Gourry... Interesting life you lead.. Ne?" He placed his hands upon his chin, leaning on the table. His brother laughed nervously in reply. "Gonna go check on her?" This made him quickly nod, running after his wife.

Lina, who was currently knelling in the back of the house, wasn't having a fun time. Of all times, why the hell did she have to get sick.. She held her stomach, waiting for the sickness that was slowly ebbing away. She wiped away her mouth with her arm, sighing. It just figured.. She slowly turned, to see Gourry brushing back her hair. "Ano.. I didn't feel good.." Was all she could say.

Meanwhile Gourry's mother had a smile on her face. Slowly she stood, making the others very confused. "I think I'll go see them outside and see if they need any help." She couldn't help but giggle. How happy she would be if she was right!

"Sarah?" Gourry's father asked. He couldn't help but have the confusion in his voice. Well... He was pretty confused.

Sarah stuck out her tongue, then grinned at her husband. "Dear, you'll know soon, don't worry your little head over anything!" And with that she left out the door, leaving the others with looks of confusion. Soon they saw Gourry come back in her place.

"Eh? What are you doing here? Where's mom?" Josh asked. A slight frown fell over his face. "Just what's going on.. I hate being left in the dark!" He complained. His hair fell loosely over his eyes, as he yawned.

"I have no clue.." Gourry replied simply. He was a very simple man. "Mom just sorta... kicked me out. She says her and Lina need a girl talk.. Whatever that is."

Meliroon snickered secretly, then also made her way outside, locking the door behind her. This made the boys even more confused, which, wasn't to surprising for this story. "Ne ne, i need details!" She exclaimed to the other two, who jumped. She was acting more like a child then a grandmother...

Lina blushed, only shaking her head. She hadn't talked since Sarah had gotten out there.. Which was a Lina world record all in itself. She had fixed herself up a bit.. Well.. At least the barf wasn't still on her chin. This was so.. Well, lets just say, she never thought it would happen to her. Haha.. Stuff not happen to her, that was funny. She heard her name and her head darted up toward Sarah, who had apparently just filled Meliroon in on what's happened. Oh yeah... Things had gotten a LOT more complicated. Wraping her arms around herself protectively, she prayed to L-Sama they didn't go psyco... Which, they did.

Meliroon grabbed the small woman's hands, smiling. "Dear child, maybe we should go in, the others are probably worried about what's happening now.. I mean.. By the way we left.."

"Oh, you should know by now that their probably still wondering how we locked the door.." Sarah replied, both girls snickered. Yes... This was how it always was. "But.. She's right, lets go inside.. It's starting to get cold.." She said, shivering a bit. "Is this gonna be a group thing hun.. Or do you think.. Your gonna do it on your own?"

Lina smiled a bit weakly, which felt really weird to her. Usually she felt so full of energy.. Such new feelings was overwhelming her. Slowly she nodded, walking inside with the two women. They looked happy.. Well.. At least they did. Once she got inside she did the only thing she could think of. She grabbed her husband by the collar of his shirt and dragged him to his room. She ignored Josh's eyes bulging from the probably dirty thought. Taking a deep breath, she made him lead her to where they'd sleep. She was nervous.. Ano.. Shaking like a leaf, the first thing she did was hug him, in which, he greatly excepted.

"Eh, Lina?" The blonde swordsman asked, whispering with tenderness. He stroked her hair softly, moving her chin gently to face him. "Lina.. You look so.. Scared.." Telling her truthfully, his blue eyes looking down at her with worry. He wiped away a piece of fallen bangs from her eyes, a small smile becoming his face.

Her eyes looked straight into his, and she remembered the days events. She felt her cheeks blush as she felt the dampness upon them. "G-Gourry.." She said, in a state where she didn't know what she was feeling. How was she going to tell him such a thing? Would he hate her? Oh ,she was just getting stupid now. Gourry hating someone.. She had to laugh at that. No, she shouldn't be such a baby! She paused... "Gourry.." She repeated, taking his hand and placing it upon her stomach. She smiled softly.

His eyes widened, as his own eyes began to water. Bending down, he kissed her with all the love he felt for her. Which is left to say that when he was done with her, she had trouble breathing. Was this all true? Things just got weirder and weirder...

Soon they had went off to bed, which wasn't to far away since they were in his room.. Lina brushed back some of her swordsmans hair from his face, as she was half asleep and still a bit nervous. She saw him twitch, and giggled. "A dream.." She whispered softly.

The young lad felt them all around him. They slashed but none hit directly.. No! They wouldn't have his sword! By this time he was about seventeen.. After he had taken all those cheap bandits down, he realized someone was watching him. "Who are you?" He asked defensively, but also politely. His mother always said it was good to be polite.

"That.. You don't need to know!" The other boy exclaimed, his large hat covering his raven curls. He wore a large brown.. Carpet? He didn't know.. "Now challenge me! I'm going to be the best in all the land!" The boy cried, very loudly.

"Okay okay.." The blonde teen replied, pulling out his sword. He decided against using the Sword of Light, it wouldn't be fair. Unsheathing his sword, he smiled. "I accept."

The two teenagers dueled, the clinging of swords were heard and the cuts of flesh, though not that dangerous. Battle cries came from both sides. Then they dropped from their dance, falling on opposite sides. The dark haired boy felt a cut on his cheek while the blonde hair one felt it on his arm. Both stood, and shook hands.

"Good fight.." One said, his blue eyes shimmered as the other nodded. Then they made their separate ways.. And all was peaceful once again.. Until he met up with this... 'Little girl..'.

Lina giggled again. "I wonder why... He's calling me Chibi Lina.."
