- Serial Experiments Lain

A young women is walking down the path through the park. she look a little down. she looks to be in her mid 20's phyisicly... but her posture and eyes make her a seem a lot older... she has red-brown hair, and dark red eyes... dressed in an old pair of jeans, and a T-shirt.. her hair flows free down her back to just below her neck, where it ends abruptly...as we watch, she looks wisphliy at an old swing set, and sighs.. smiling over so slightly, she gose over and sits on the swing...

Overtone monolog "This is Lina inverse... no, not the bandit killer, no not the great an butiful socerise... but a poor sad soul.. one who once felt love, not once.. not twice.. but thrice.. and she did not lose it... but she will never reach it, for it lost her..."

as she watches, she starts to cry... and her crys drown out the aproach of a second person, a man with long blond hair, blue eyes, and muscular frame.. he is dressed in a nice light blue suit.. aproachin the crying lina, he ask.. "Lina? is that you..."

Lina jumps up and tries to hide her tears.. she smiles shakely.. "Gourry!"

"it is you lina! long time no see. why are you crying?" Gourry... ask, Puzzled.. and then he relizes.. for though he may be a little slow, he poseses an amazeingly sharp mind... he looks around and relizes it.. "this is our old play ground.. isn't it?"

"yes.. I was just rembering all the good times we had.." she sits down back on the swing... "us, and the rest of the gang..."

"Yhea..." Gourry, sitting down in the swing next to Lina...

eleven years ago....

a young, 16 old lina is runnig around the palyground.. role playing with her freind Gourry.. throwing a invisibal spell at a 17 year old goury, he swing at it with a stick.. the two are laughing like they were kids.. soon, lina grabs a stick from a bush, an the two dule. Lina stabs him with the sword/stick, and he falls like he is hurt but soon, he is rolling down the hill. Lina chases after him laughing.. "GOT YOU! YAY!" she yells at him..

he rolls right through a bush, and over several lunches... Lina comes a halt and gose around the bushes, instead of through them. gourry, meanwhile, is aplaogizeing to the four who's lunch he and Lina ruined... "sorry.. I didn't mean to ruin your lunch..." he says, a hand behind his head...

The four glare at him, and then one of the poeple whose lunch he rolled over, the one with the wirely hair and charming good looks, laughs, and extends his hand to help him up.. "no big deal.. we were almost done. hey, are you in to Roleplaying to?" the guy says, pointing to the branch gourry has stuck under his arm..

"well, yhea, me and gourry like to roleplay a little.. sorta." Lina says shipishly as she makes her self known.

"Oh good!" the one with the golden hair and the tail (she IS a dragon after all. and xellos is a mazoku. don't aks questions.) "we have ben looking for some more people to play with. I am Firia del copt. the one helping you freind up is Zelgadis Greywaters" the guy with wirely hair waves at her. "the guy with the purple hair is Xellos Matllum." Xellos has his eyes closed as he smiles at her and tips his hat. "and the one with the long black hair is Syphiel." Syphiel smiles and waves shyly at the two. she looks in gourrys Direction, blushes, and looks away.

"well, I am Lina inverse! and he is Gourry Gabvriel.." Lina bows formaly to the others. soon, all breack out into laughter....

"That is one day that I always will rember..and that week end.. " Lina continued... Gourry starts to wonder exactly how he is seeing what Lina is rembering...

3 days after privious flash back. it is the weekend...

"so when are we going to start RPGing?" Lina ask...

"As soon as everyone is ready.. here, put these on." Firia, Lina, and syphiel are on one side of the clearing.. Zel, gourry, and xellos are on the other.. Firia tosses a pair of bracelts to Lina.

"what are they?" Lina says, stairing athem befor putting them on.

"THE Braclets of the magi..." Firia says causualy.

"WHAT!!!" Lian sudenyl looking with hooror at her. "Do you relize what they are worth! just these could buy the city of tokyo!" Lina looks at firia with surprise "there are only three compleat sets of the magi known in the world, and possbly three more scatterd across the world indivualy..."

"four actualy.. but I don't think any one knows the wearabouts forth.." syphiel smiles..

"yhea, the mythic seventh set... the slayers set... wait a second..." Lina's jaw drops...

"By jones, I think she's got it..." Syphiel smile widdens into a grin...

"the seventh set... the first set made when the Lina bandler, possed by the lord of nightmares herself, she sealed all magic into the astral plane... and created them to acesss that power. it was with that set that the other six were created..." Lian gapes...

"yep... that's the legend alright.. but I think the history got corupted a bit... her last name was not Bandler." Fria finishes putting on her dress. she now looks almost like her namesake.

"Huh? it was not? then what was her last name..." Lina stairs puzzledly at Firia

"oh, mean you don't know your own ansetry, her name was Lina, lina inverse... THUNK" fira says, stairing at lina.

"oh my... I supose I had better revive her.." syphiel says as she kneels next to lina chuckling... and chants a little. Lina slowly recovers..

"what happened.." Lina mumples, then she remebers.. "ohmygodi'mherarn'ti?"

"Lina slow down.. take deep breaths" after a few minutes, lina slowly calms down.. "good, that is better, no what were you trying to ask us?" Syphiel says as she starts to go back to getting dressed.

"I am THE lina..." Lina says a slightly worried look on her face.

"well, yes and no.. you are her in the since that you look like her, and have her soul.. but no in the since that she is you.. your memoryes and personalitys are diffrent.." Firia.. "of course, you can recover the memories.."

"oh, that is a relief.. you say I can recover my memories?" Lian ask..

"no, you already have those..." firia starts to laugh. syphiel joins in.. "but you can recover HER memories... you are not the same person." firia and syphiel crack up at this points..

"oh.. I don't get it. what's so funny?" Lina ask as the two's laughter dies down..

"it is just that the lina of the past always had a short fuse. like if you said her cheast was flat, she would have probly beat that person up.." syphiel says...

"why? Breast sizes is a minor concern to me." Lina says, blushing slightly..

"see, that is why we are difrent.. we are not them, and they are not us... but they are us in a seince, so I just confused my self..." the girls pause.. and then burst out laughing..

"and that was how I learned of my past.. sigh life got more fun from then on out, but also more complacated.." Lina turns to face gourry... her eyes shimmering..

gourry stairs at her confused... syphiel, looking a little plump, walks up behing him. "is that lina? I haven't scean her since our weding.."

"hush dear.. something strange is going on... lina keeps going on about her memmories.. and everytime she dose, images apear..." goury says as she sits on his lap.

"and then came the day I got my heart crushed for the first time..."

about 3 months after the last one...

Lina is wandering around the campus... she is smiling.. her braclets flash in the sun light, sighing, she leans back and falls back on the grass. over tone monolog in lina's voice. "it sas a nice way to end the year.. I had power byond even hat I had dermend I could, even though i could not show it.. I was rembering my past life like everyone else due to the weekend RPGing.. and I was in love.. but I had not worked up the corriage to say it.. it was nice... then it shattered..." Lina monolog ends..

lina is still lying on her back, enjoying the day.. (NOTE: this is a very good thing.. weather day or night, laying on your back on a roof or a grassy hil, looking up at the sky is very relaxing and fun! (weather you are a male of female.. though some consider it fenimen.... it is not... at least to me)) she sighs. "relly sould tell him..." then she sees him walking down the path...he is in a nice suit, and carrying a blue rose... he dashes past, not noticieng her. she sits up... "huh? I wonder where he is going in such a hurry?" Lina gets up and follows...

soon we see gourry slow down.. he walks around the conner. Lina sneaks around the conner and pears around it.. she sees a blushin syphiel standing next to gourry. he is handing her a rose. his dagger's hilt is visibal on his belt. Syphiels crystal is visible in her broach. "gourry-sama, I can't except it.. it is to expinsive.."

"huh, then what am I going to do with it, I already paid for it.." Gourry smirks..

"gourry-sama...." Syphiel blushes even more...

gourry starts to chuckel.. "no, syphiel I got it from my familys rose garden... our family owns the flower shop down on 5th and main, so it relly is no problemm.."

"Oh.. then I gusse I relly should wear it..." Syphiel bows her head a little..

"umm.. am I makeing you fell uncofterble?" Gourry lloks worried..

"umm.. no not quite..." Syphiel smirks... "it is just that you are staning on my foot!" syplhiel looks up with a smile on her face.. her eyes colsed... lina and gourry fault face.. "now, that is out of our system.. "syphiel grabs the rose, pins it to her shirt, and then help gourry up... "now lets get to the movie Gourry-sama.. #$@$#@# why to I keep saying that?" syphiel says, looking a little puzzled.

"Lead on, my love!" gourry says, not sarcasticly, but casualy, and with felling obvious behind it..

lina frowns.. she sniffiles as the two dash over to the moview theater, passing her, and not noticeing her. both as smileling at each other.. a tear rolls down linas cheack.. and another.. and soon they can't stop.. she start to stagger, then run, andd finaly breacks out in an all out sprint for her home...

a single tear runs down lina's cheack... "and that is when I knew I lost you even befor I tried..."

"I had no Idea.." gourry, a single tear running down his cheack, and a single tear down syphiel's.

"me eather lina.." syphiel looks at lina in aww...

"it is a very sad story.." a man says siting in a tree.

the three look up.. and two figers jump down from the tree. it is Zel and amelia..

"gouury and syphiel are loking at the two. "Zel, Amelia... you two?"

"yes, we felt the cumpulsion.. to come..." zel says, amelia smiling at lina..

"no... zel...amelia.. this is to much.. not you too.."

back to eight years ago. gourry's and syphiels wedding...

lina is standing next to sypheil. she is in a very nice dress. syphiel is wearing a wedding dreess. next to her is gourry, in a blue tuxido (hey, it's gourry.. seeing him in black.. I just find that disturbing..) Zel is standign next to him in a matching blue tuxsido. a stone ring is on Zels fingure. the perist (aww, come on, do I have to speel everyting out? it's xellos!) speacks. "do you, gourry gavrieal, take syphiel nels radis to be your wife?"

"gourry looks at sypghile witha look of joy. "I do.."

"do you, Syphiel nels rad, take Gourry gavriel to be your husband?" xellos says, this chibi-staff held in his hand (1foot long) (not that one perverts!)

"I do..." syphiel gazes into gourrys eyes, the same lok of joy in them...

"the rings?" xellos jestures to zel and Lina. Zel hand gourry a ring. (not his ring) gourry slips the ring onto syphiles fingure.. lina then hands syphiel her ring. she slips in onto gourry's fingure.. "okay, I now prononce you man and wife... you may kiss each other..." xellos opens his eyes and blinks.. gourry and syphile are kissing each other rather vigoursly... "never mind.. now on with the party!!" Zel is looking pastr the kissing couple at lina. tears are running down her face. Zel is puzzled...

an hour later at the reception..

syphiel and gourry were cutting the cake. Lina sat in a chair behind the crowd and for most of the receptoio, had not joinfd in the festivities.. Zell aproached her. "Lina, what's wrong with you.. your yusualy so lively..."

"its.. its nothing.. " Lina simes to flinch...

"No, it is not nothing.. some thing is caussing to pain isn't it.." Zel follows her gaze and sees gourry and syphiel.. "hmm.. it's gourry, you love him don't you?" Zel smiles...

"NO! I DONT LOVE THAT CAREFERR EGOTISTICAL... gentlal carring jerk..." she seems to lose her voice at this last comment. "WHY! WHY did he have to fall for her.. I was there.. always.. i berly even relised it, but it was so obvious! I flirted, and pried, and treid to get his attention.. but he never noticed me.."

"hush..." Zel sits down next to eher. "if it made you feel any better.. wait... never mind.. something is bugging me..." Zel looks over to the door to the reception hall. and stairs at it. "some thing is comeing..."

Then due to the nature of the unlikey (and the fact that I want to throw in a camo or two into this thing).. Amelia comes running in... well, more like it was, in this order of ezents, amelia runing toward window. thug fireing bazoka. amelia jumping toward the window.. Amelia crashing threw window. bazoka shell going threw window.. amelia narowing dodgeing the shell, her silver mallet(3inches long) hanging on a gold chain aroud her neck.. Zel, lina, Lorina inverse, Lorina hibiki, and a few other guste/wanderes also dodge the shell. a blond haired guy that kinda looks like Ryoga looking up from his map, seeing the shell heading right to ward him. him mutering "oh, not again" and sighing, resinging him self to his fate. boom. and I belive there was a shimmer of light where the man stood moments befor.

the two lorinas look at each other.. no diferance in looks. "Lorina right?" they say to each other.. the two wander off, talking... (of course.. when I say wander, I mean get lost for a few days..)

Lina nad the other guste shake thier heads.. then look back to the girl who crashed threw the window.. "ano, why are you trying to ruin our weddeng reception? syphiel says to the girl who crashed torough the window.

"I'm not... the terror of juctice is after me... " the young, bust, black haired, and blue eyed girl says befor fainting from shock and blood loss. syphiel kneels in spreading pool of blood. her wedding dress ruined, she begins to concentrate. then she stops. "LINA! FIRIA! HELP!" the two quickly rush over and also cast healing spells of thier own as syphiel reboubles her efforts.. severl bullits emrge from the young girls right leg and left arm.. alon with one emerging from the right side of her belly.. soon the bleeding was stoped.. yet the girl still had much healing to be done on her... un fortuantly, some thing broke their concentration..

no... not something...

a certifide, grade one, NAGA laugh...

and not one of those she did to just annoy lina in lina's past life...

it was the one that she used to curtlle blood, the one that, while not her worst, was still leale to most small mammels.. and gourry..

and it still anoyed lina... though she did not know why yet...

"AAAHHRRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!" gourry clutched his ears... his brain burbling.. insantly, syphile was at his side... suporting him.. giveing Naga a look of death.

Lina was lying next to the black hairted girl, her ears hurtting, she crying in the pain.. "NO!"

"foolis mortals.." naga says.. "interfearing with royal maters.. I should have to all killed.. in fact, I will. KILL THEM ALL!" Naga struts ouyt side, laughing as she gose. her goons, if you could call them that, shead their skin. thier purple-blue matalic bodys sheaming, lookin like a body-bilders body gone out of control. one of the (insert name of the famos mcanoids) points a arm at linas freind netris. an ato canno pops out of it's hand and fiers. Netris's head gose boom. Lina is coated in brain/flesh/blood fragments. tears flow down he face.. the other b----- points it's arm at gourry and syphiel. it's arm recoils twice. a chunk of gourrys sholde gose flying.. he falls to the sround. syphiel, instinctively putting a shild around her flies into the far wall and then colapes. a small trail of blood coming from her lips. Lina crys....

and then the b----- points it's arm at Zel and she snaps.. still crying, the tears comming of their own acord, she stands up shakely. "NO! leacve him him alone!" she crys. a hint of confusin in her voice about what she is saying. the b----- seems to shrug, and fire any ways... Zel is hit in his leg and falls to the ground. both of the things then turn to lina. pointing their arms/gus at her, she also raises her arm. "FIREBALL!" she yells, her braceltets glowing, at the same time the b----- fire. the shots never make it. in tread, they are turned to slag, along with the b-----, a good porion of the frount wall, Naga who is-i-mean-was standing out side the store, and part of a lamp post.. Lina stairs at horror at what she did in her anger... and in rapt facination as the lamp post tearters, and then smals down into the road, smashing into the windshield of a car. the driver swears and is impaled on the lampos lighint. she dies slowly and pain fully... lina is paralized at fwhat she just saw.. and she starts to cry anew.. loseing her lunce, and then colapsing into a sobbing fit..

zel scoots over to lina.. he instinctivly cradels her head.. "it will be alright imoto-chan, it will be alright..." Zell starts to rock her back and forth.

deep with in the past, so and so... to their past lives...

Lina hovers over the bandit camp.. lina finishes her chant. "DRAGU SLAVE!" she launches the spell down to ward the burning ruins.. planing to take out the rest of the stupid baka bandits that DARE insult her. and just befor the spell strikes.. she sees something that makes her blood go cold... directly in the bath of the spell are several small children that the bandits were holding hostage.. the ones the village hiered her to save from the bandits.. and she had forgot about them till just now, when it was to late... "oh crap..." she says softly as she watches her spell crash into the inocent children. she watches in horror as the flesh is strped from their bones by the explosion and then the bones desenagrate under the intense heat.. as the explosion disapates, nothing remains of the camp... Lina wavers, her raywing spell fails, she plmmits. she sees the ground rise up underneath her.. and she opens her arms and seems to welcome it..

Zel see her fall, and runs. he runs like he has never run befor, leaps, and catches her befor she impacts the ground. "imoto-chan..."

"why... why did you save me..." Lina then reaches, thropws up in Zels face, and passes out.

"Imoto-chan.." a look of concern passes on her face...

flash forward a few hours (still in the second flashback)...

lina is lying asleep in the bed at the inn... they are in a inn several villages away from the one that heired her. amelia speacks up.."She killed them.." menace obvious in her tone.. "she MUST pay.. bandits, I understand...but they were children..."

Lina sobs silingtly.. "ami-chan.. we can't just turn her over.. she is to important.. to the world... be sides I love her.." Lina feels her here heart jump...

"but... what about us..." Amelia sems to be worried... what about this...

"I don't love her like I love you my dear Ami-chan. I love her like a sibling.. she is my imoto-chan.." Zel says to amelia softly. lina feels her heart shatter...

"zel-kun..." Amelia wispers... lina opens her eyes just in time to see them kiss quite pasently.. (not many can tell the difrence except for those in the kiss.. but a kiss is somethimes justy a kiss, and some times it is more...)

"no..." lina wispers.. and suddnely finds zel and amelia standing next to her...

"Lina..." amelia says, as she sees tears comeing to linas eyes.. it is posbly only the fourth time she has seen lina cry... ever... for any reson...

"I KILLED THEM!" Lina screems.. "how could I... I shoud have had control..." lina is sobbing uncontrobly by now... Zel and amelia look at each other.. Amelia frowns.. she now relizes why zel insisted on not turning her in.. Lina had suffered enough..

Zel hugs Lina, holding her head to his cheasty. "it is alright imoto-chan.. it is alright...." he sipers over and over.. amelia soons hugs lina as well, lina rest between them, crying her heart out... they rock her back and forth. soon, she is asleep once more..."she is bad... I hope gourry and the other get here soon.. we are going to need all the help we can get to bring her back..."

"I know... Zel-kun... I know.." Amelia hugs Zel and the sleeping lina a little tighter...

fade forward till a few hours fter the portion from whitch this fade back came from ...

Lina wakes up... and ses that she is in the hospital. Zell is in the beed next to her's... mumbling something about his imoto-chan... lina, understanding ver little japanesse, dose not know what it means.. she looks over to the other bedd in the room and sees that gourry, syphiel, and the black haired girl are all still uncoucious.. then she remebers... her stomach reaches.. (dry heave) she killed.. not just the perso who hurt her freinds, but a bystander. she starts to sob.. this wakes up Zel.

"don't cry lina.. it is not your fault.. it was an acedent.." Zel wispers. his words sounding unsure.

"I know.. I know... it's just.. I acted with out thinking.. I let my anger get the better of me.. that has nerev happened befor.." Lina puts her head in her hands. "it was like I was not me.. like some one else was in control..." sudenly a series of images flash by.. it is to fast for us to reconize anything.. "oh god... her... no..."

"huh? who lina.." zel looks concerned at her..

"no... it can't be.." lina shakes her head.. "I would..." lina stops talking for a second... and stairs at zel... and sudnely pecks him with a kiss on the lips... it last for less then a second. then lina rolls over and faces away from zel.. "sorry... I had to.."

"Lina.... I... don't fall for me lina... I... I don't think of you like that..." zel looks at her with concern...

sudenly Lina turns to face him.. "WHAT!... no... I need you... Danm it to hell, I think I love you!" Lina is stairing at him...

"SIGH I know.. but I don't love you in the way you love me... your my little sister....."

"NOOO!!!" Lina lashes out and punches zel in the jaw.. she then runs out of the building (threw the third story wall) and flys of, still in the hospital gown. tears are streaming from her eyes...

"Im sorry lina..." zel looks down and shakes his head.

Flash forward.

"I don't rember exactly what I did... but I don't rember the events of the next four years verty clearly... it was like I was in a daze... and YOU BROUGHT IT ON ME!!" Lina is sobing slightly...

"I'm sory imoto-chan... I would never do it to you inentaly.." Zell looks at Lina simpatheticly..

"i know..." lina says with concern in her voice.

"what brought you out of it?" gourry, asks, a little more then curious...

"I did.." a soft, gental voice says from behind lina.. lina turns around just a woman with long, golden hair and a golden tail steps out of the shadows.. next to her is a man with loong purple hair.. his eyes are closed.

"Fira.." lian says softly.. "xellos" she then says, a hint of venom in her voice.. "...."

flash back, four years ago...

lina is sitting on the curb... her hair is in bad shape, and her clotes our very dirty... she is passed out and holding a bottle of sake.. firia is walking by carrying a bag of grocries.. she spies lina.. "Lina... she looks closer and sees that it is Lina... "Lina... fira looks around, and noticing that no one can see her, puts the grociers down next to lina, puts her hand on linas head, her other hand on her grocries, and closes her eyes. she then disapears in a shower of sparks..

she reapear in her apartment a moment later. next to her couch.. she picks up lina and places her on the couch. then she puts the grociers on the table.. then she gose to her bed room and is soon in slumber land...

three hours later...

Lina stirs.. she opemns her eyes... and looks around... suddenly, she jumps with a start.. "oh.. oh no.. oh no... got to get out... I broke into a house.. some one took me home with them.. I don't rember... oh great.. my head" she clutches her head in pain.. she starts to panic... her mubling, and groans of pain as she tries to stumbpe acrosse the room awakes firia..

firia panics for a moment.. not rembering she brought Lina home with her... she wips out hwer mace and dart to the wall next to the door way... she reaches around and flips the light switch on... she then darts out, charging the intruder.. and then she sees who the intruder is... "Lina?" the two stair at each other for about a miute...

"firia... no...no... No... they found me... got to run.. no... Gooury.. ZEL! AAHGHHHGGGGGRRRGGHHHHH!!!" lina screams.. she glowsred.... Firia instinctivly dives for cover behind the couch.. just as Lina unleashes a spell. "DIL BRANDO!!" the room is ingulfed in a swerling gout of flame.. seconds later, lina colapses.. firia stairs at her a second, then runs to the kitchen, grabs the fier extenquisher, and puts out the fires the spell started.. she then picks lina up, and puts her in her bed. she then strips her.. throwing away the rags she had ben wearing... she then tucks her in.. aafter this is done, she writes a quick note, puts out a towel and some clothes to wear. she looks at the sleeping lina, and then heads out.. intent on getting to her job on time..

an hour later...

Lina stirs once again.. panicing once again... she looks around franticly.. then she relizes she is neked.. she panics even more.. then she rembers firia... and the panic level gose up once again.. she then spies the note.. and so it reads..

"Hi lina! I'ts firia.. I saw you in the stret. are you in trouble? anyways, I threw your clothes into the grabage.. no use trying to save them may they rest in peice.. now, when you wake up.. wiat,you have to be awake to read this, so after you finish reading this, go take a shower.. there is a towel and an outfit you cna barow at the end of the bed.. well, I got to run... have to work.. should be back by eight... please hang around till then.. IU wan't to talk... SE YA!"

Lina sighs.. she gets out of the bed and grabs thew towel.. she then heads off to the bathroom the is conected to the bedroom. she puts the towel down on the sink counter, and steps into the shower.. soon she turns it on and for several minuts just enjoys the fell of the warm water flowing across her skin.. she then dose some thing she probly has not done in a few years.. she smiles. she reaches for the soap and begians to clean her self up...

soon, she is done. she heads back into the bedroom, and looks at the clothes firia laid out. a pair of pink painties and a simple blue dress.. lina looks at it and shakes her head... sighing once again, she puts the dress and painties on.. she then fells her stomach growl.. blinking twice, she heads to the kitchen to get some food.

Lina stands in frount of the refrigarator as hewr stomach growls more insistantly.. relizeing that she has not had a good meal in several monthes, her hesatation vanishes she opens the fridge door and start to dig in... she is drulling and chanting "food, food, food, food," well, you get the Idea...

seven hours later...

lina is siting on the couch.. she is watchoing the TV... then the door unlocks, and firia walks in. "Lina! good! you stayed!" Firia sits down on the couch next to lina. "so... what happened to you... we have not heard of you since the hospital incedent... you just.. disapeared... where have you been?" Firia looks at lina with cioncern..

"I... I don't know.. it is all a blur..." lina looks at firia... tears and confusion in her eyes..

"Tell me abot as much as you can... but.. WHY did you run away? Why lina.. we all were woriied about you.. exspecaly Zel.." firia looks at lina with worrie in her eyes..

"ZEL.. I HATE him!! he didn't even give me a chance.. he thinks of me as his little siter.. but.. oh.. he is so butifull.. but I .. I.. I..." Lina breacks down crying she leans her head in to firias sholder.. Firia, befor she relizes what she is doing, wraps her arms around lina. she starts to rock lina back and forth...

"Let it our lina-chan.. let it out.. it is alright.. just let it out.." firia hugs lina tighter.. tears also comeing to her eyes..

this continues for a while, till lina looks up into fieias eyes.. the two's eyes lock... this stays the samew for about a minute, till lina lunges forward and kisses firia deeply on her lips... firia is shocked for a second, then returns the kiss... the two kiss for a while.. then firia stands up, scooping lina up and carrying Lina to the bed room...

[note.. I Might write a lemon scean here.. but maybe not... I don't know... someone else is free to write this sceen, but be sure to take notes on linas and firias charicters.. they ARE difrent from the slayers ones...)

"oh my..." syphile exlaimens..

"you two did the deed together?" amelia points a fingure at Lina and firia, both of who are blushing...

"hie... we did.. but thats not the point.. let me finnsish..." lina says, blushe even hevierly...

flash back to the next morning...

Firia stirs.. she slowly opens her eyes, and finds that she is necked.... and that someone is pressed agunst her side.. slowly, she turns and seec the lina is cuddled up to her.. she is also necked... and that lina is also necked.. firia sweatdrops.. she slowly gets up without wakeing lina at all.. she puts some painties on and heads to the frount room. she picks up the phone and dials a phone number.. soon, someone picks up . split screen. xellos is on the otherend. it looks like he was woken by the phone.. "WHo is this?" he says, a litle angry sounding..

"Xellos,m it's me.. we have a problemm.." Firia says..

"no.. ypour not pregnet.." xelos ask..

Firia sweatdrops. "ummm.. I found lina..."

"huh? that's Great! how is she! wan't me to call and tel the others?" xellos smiles.

"no... she.. I.. umm.. she is very unstable right now.. both emotionaly, and mentaly.. she dose not know I merried you, and she has be come... Atached... to me... if she found out now.. it could wreack her.." firia is blushing.

"atached... ohhh... I see. you two did it..." xeloos audibly smirks..

"WHAT! no.. well, yes.. but.. could you please stay at a freinds house when you get back? I whant to try to help her stablize her self.." fira blushes even deaper.

"hmm.. are you sure you just whant to help her? hee hee.." xellos

"HONEY! of course that is all I want!" Firia is now a deep shade of red..

"I know dear.. I know.. I'll stay at Amelias and Zels place.. that alrithg with you?" xellos voice is now filled with love.

"thanks.. hopefully, this wont take more then a month.,.. and I gjust hope I can let her down gently..." firia smiels. her blush disapearing.

"Love ya dear!" xellos leans over the split screen and ppeacks firia on the cheack.

Love you to.. Bye!" Firia hangs up the phone..she then heads to the kitchen to make brackfast..

Lina awakeins to the smell of food. he rstomach complains, and she sits up, the coverts falling off of her... she stands up, streaches, and walks out of the room. she inters the main room and wlaks into the kitchen.. she sees firia, still only in her painties... firia is standing in frount of the microwave.. lina walks up to fira and hugs her from behind.. firia jumps.. starteled... "what's wrong?" Lina says, her voice wavering.. a litle scared from firias reaction.

"Le le le le leacher!!!!!" Firia screems... pan to window... a small, srivelded old man (gusse who!) is sitting there, drooling..

Lina blinks. twice.. and then she screems a screem that could cut souls.. and it is directed all at the leacher.. the leacher leans forward to keep his perch.. then linas magi bracelets kick in.. the leacher gose flying in to a sub-orbital tragectoiry...

Lina then colapses once more...

"sigh.... you have to luren more control lina..." Firia scoops lina up and carries her back to the bed room. she layes her down on the bed, then heads to the colset to get dressed... "I can't believe I forgot about himm.. sigh... tomarrow, I'm taking lina pervert hunting..." firia smirks as she heads to the kitchen, now in a red dress.

a few minutes later, lina wakes...agian..

"what smells soo good?" Lina asks.

"Lunch! get dressed in case the leacher comes back!" firia yells from the kitchen.. "wear anything you want from my closet!"

"good Idea!" Lina wanders over the thew closet and puts a pair of painties and a blue dress on. she then heads out to the living room just as firia brings out a large tray of food.

together they couruse "Let's Eat!" and dig in..

"so, after lunch, we should go look for a jjob for you." firia sips some of her tea.

"why? oh.. I see, some thing to do while you work and extra cash! horray!" lina redoubles her attack on the food. firia sweatdrops..

"[overtone] well, I might as well not bore you with the deatails.. suficed to say, we went out, and after three tries.. and one explosion of a small gang of thugs, I found a JOB.. The next three weeks were fun.. I grew lees dependet, I regained my sainaty to a degree, and I thought my heart had healed.. then firia decided I was strong enough to take the truth..."

firia sits down across the table from Lina.. "Lina.. I think you have hewaled enough.. I have some thing to tell you.."

"Huh?" lina stops siping the jolt cola she is holding.

"I love someone else more then you..." firia looks a little worried about how she will take it..

"WHAT! how could you do this to me.. I hate.. " lina startts to say, but firia grabs her hand.

"Dont take it the wrong way.. I still love you... A LOT... just that I love someone else more then you, dose not mean the I don't love you.." firia is relly sounding worried..

"then why did you not tell me sooner... WHY!" lina looks to be on the edge of tears..

"for the same reson I love you... but I have loved xellos for longer.. I am married to him.." firia looks hurt by linas tears...

"so you want me to leave..."

"NO! you can stay if you want.. but he will be comeing home.. he llives here... and with the arivel in 7 months, i have arenged for you to live in the apartment across the hall.."

"lina blinks twice.. "you married him? and arivail in seven months.. oh..." linas ees go wide.. "now I undersatnd.. you... kid... with him..."

"sigh just don't tell him yet.. I want him to figure it out by him self..." firia smiels..

"oh.. but where will I go?"

"BAKA! you will live acrross the hall!" firia is shaking her head.

"oh.. cool!" lina stands up. "I had bether start packing.."

"she took that better then I expected.." firia also stands up to go help lina pack...

"but.. you seemend happy.." firia mummbles.

"yes, I was... but... it still hurt.. a lot.. I cried myself to sleep that night.. in fact for the rest of the week.. if I had been in the state I was befor you helped me, I probly would have killed myself.. In fact.. I thought about it several times over the next few weeks..." lina eyes are shimmering as she speacks... the other gasp.

"but you seemed so stabel.." xellos speacks., his son val cllinging to his neck.

""berly.. I still ocasionaly get the urge to kill my self... Sob.. but I Cant.. Im..I'm... I'm to week to do it..."

"not so, my pawn.. your weakness is not yours.. in till your fate to be killed by me, you will not go..." pan up to a figure dressed in black.. strng about him is a compleat set of the magi... his black wings flaping ocasionaly to keep him aloft...

all the heads turn to ward the figure.. the six scramble to but themselves between the figure and lina. xellos puts val down and val runs for cover... "you will have to get through us first..."

"so be it.." the firgure snaps his fingurs and all go flying..

flash back, the most distant one yet..

Lina inverse, no loger herself, but a being of pure power, tunrs to face her once former comrads.. "as I part, for this second time through this host, I leave a messeag.. I have deamned that magic of this world in an uncontroled sate is nolonger exceptible... it has almost grown to dystroy the world four times, so I will seal it into the astral... the races of magic shall also be no more, for with out magic, they ARE human.. but traits of them shall remain.." Lina starts to desolveinto light at this point.. "but magic must have influnc for the balance to survie.. so I and her leave you with these.. the artifacts of the magi.. use them to help the world... and alwas rember, she will be in your hearts..." and with that, the greatest person to perhaps ever live desolves into a shoer of light... and this light streams on to the six gathered around her. befor each one an object apears..

mallet of silver for the one who brought juctise... Amelia

a stone ring for the one who brought strength...

Zel

a dagger for the one who brought loalty...

Gourry

a stafe for the one who brought chaos...

Xellos

a crystal of silver for the one who brought humilaty... Syphiel

an Ivory Egg for the one who brought honor...

Firia

and for the one who died, the one who bound together and brought love to them all... two bracelets, wraped with the red strings of fate, clinked softly onto the rock...

"I REMEBER!!!" Lina crys, softly, and silently.. "

"what? no matter... your freinds are dieing.. and the time for action has pased.. give your self to me, and I WILL not kill them" the mysterious figure with dark, feather like wings...

"no.. NO... NO!!!" the braclets, the original artifacts of the magi glow brightly, and then shatter.. the light colendese on her... and she absorbs it... "I WILL NOT LET YOU DO THIS!!!"

"WHAT! YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP ME!! I WILL STOP YOU ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!" the figuer dives..

the artifacts of the magi on the others glow to. waking them up.... as they watch, the items shatter, and the light they produce heads toward Lina.. it is absorbed... she points a hand at the wystirous figure.. palm toward.. Time seems to stop... the figur is frozen inches befor Linas hand.. then we hear that Prash... the one that she use in her last life as a battle cry, and in this life as a mantra.. "fireball" she says flatly.. no emotion whatsoever in it... time unfrezes.. a gout of flame, unlike the world had ever seen, in the past, of modern ages... 60 miles long, two inches wide at the the point of origan, and over a mile wide at the end, shoots out of linas hand.. the dark figur is cooked, the ashesd, then atamized... then Lina colapses from the effort...

a lone figure apears above her.. we cannot get a look at him/her. "ah, my tool, you served you porpuse.. come my angel of sarrow..." lina flickers from exictence... the others pass out just as ambulances arive on the scean...

Epalog...

"so what you are telling me is taht she then blasted the guy and passed out... then a second person appeard abover then vanished with her?"

"Yes officer" xellos replies..

"Sigh normaly, I would not have believed this storry you told me, but I cna not denie the proof.. you may go.."

"thank you officer..." xellos leaves the room.

the ofiicer stand s up, and sighs once more.. "well, it looks like it finaly happened little sis.. I hope you are alright, wrever you are.." the officer (like you can not gusse who it is) leaves the room to.


Authors Notes

this is the first saga.. I wrote the end to it befor I wrot the story it's self, and I want to make a few things clear..

Imoto-chan = little sister

now on to the charictrization of them...

these, as you already know, ar not the embodyment of the original slayers cast... they are the reincarnation...

and while they are smilare in some ways, they are difrent...

Lina is more calm.. she is freindly, and shows her emotions more easly... this came about due to her older sister not being the knight of cefied... and the fact that she could do no magic.. in other words, she grew up in a normal house hold.

she also seems to have a bigger heart in this life then her last.. not so. her heart has always ben this big... even in the time when the slayers... I SAW this in a burst of inspration.. mainly the last tape of next... smoe may think the seson of next showed that she loved gourry, but this not quite true... she loved Zel, amelia, and the others just as much.. when zel was killed, she yelled out his name with the same amount of greif as when gourry was taken away.. she loved him atleast as much as she loved gourry... and by the reaction top the others deaths, them to.

and the other charicters, I kept their base personality, the one we only see rarely, and altared the rest of it.. they are the same, but that dose not mean they will act the same as there privious lives...

list of camos, in order of aperance...

L-chan as the lord of nightmares,

Zack and lorina hibiki, as themselves,

Lorina inverse as a cousion of linas, an inocent bystader, as well.. and inocent bystander.. may he/she rest in peace...

happy-san, from ranma 1/2 as the leacher...
