<Gabriel> "They are powerful.... the only one we have to kill is the girl..."

<Sanosuke> "Alright... I'll do anything to stay with you."

<Gabriel> "Without that girl... they cant summon....."

<Sanosuke> "Then I'll kill her myself... I love you Nakago.."

<Gabriel> "I will come with you... you'll need me... Im sure her friend will protect her...."

<Sanosuke> Tamahome kissed the back of his neck. "I want to make love a while first.

<Sanosuke> "

<Gabriel> "Mm... Im game Tamahome...."

<Sanosuke> "What shall i do then? Fuck me hard? Make love to me?" Tamahome kissed his neck again as he sat behind him.

<Gabriel> "Do you want me to make love to you? or do you want to be in me more?"

<Sanosuke> "Why don't we take turns and do both a while? It feels so good both ways."

<Gabriel> "Mm... alright ...."

<Sanosuke> Tamahome smiled and rested his head on Nakago's shoulder.

<Gabriel> "Mmm.... Tamahome.... you first?"

<Sanosuke>

<Sanosuke> "Alright darling... How shall I have you?"

<Gabriel> "Rough... if you want"

<Sanosuke> "Mmm... didn't know you like it like that... I'll have you any way you want." Tamahome stripped them both.

<Gabriel> "I like it any way with you Tamahome...."

<Sanosuke> Tamahome pressed Nakago over, stroking himself against his lover.

<Gabriel> "Ohhh.... I never realized you'd be so passionate...."

<Sanosuke> "Now that I know how much you love me... mmm...." Tamahome moved up and nipped his neck.

<Gabriel> "Ohh...."

<Sanosuke> "Shall I just ram it in?" Tamahome purred in his ear before bighting gently.

<Gabriel> "ohh yes...."

<Sanosuke> "Then I will do what pleases you darling." Tamahome bit a little harder and placed himself at the entrance. With one grunt he slammed himself all the way in.

<Gabriel> "ahh!!" Nakago practically screams... but takes nothing but pleasure

<Sanosuke> "In and out like this?" Tamahome grunted, placing his hands at Nakago's hips.

<Gabriel> "yesss...."

<Sanosuke> Tamahome nibbled his ear and did as he was told, pulling all the way out and ramming back in at full force.

<Gabriel> Nakago cries out softly... digging his fingers into the bed beneath him

<Sanosuke> "Oh gods..." Tamahome groaned, keeping this up to please his lover.

<Gabriel> Nakago pants heavily... his body in unbelievable ecastacy

<Sanosuke> "I can't keep this up... love..." Tamahome appologized, thrusting as hard as he could but leaking fast.

<Gabriel> "Its... okay....give me..." Nakago says breathlessly

<Sanosuke> "Yes yes yes..." Tamahome gave him all, moaning deaply.

<Gabriel> Nakago rumbles deep in his chest.... restraining his own orgasm....

<Sanosuke> Tamahome collapsed over his lover, panting hard.

<Gabriel> "Nakago grunts and rolls Tamahome over, then pushes himself into him... only managing to get a few thrusts before exploding himself

<Sanosuke> Tamahome moaned and clutched Nakago, purring loud. "I love you so much Nakago."

<Gabriel> "I love you too Tamahome....."

<Sanosuke> "You

<Sanosuke> 're all I want and need."

<Gabriel> "You are my very life tamahome.."

<Sanosuke> "So we can't let them change that."

<Gabriel> "No... we cant.... we have to kill that girl..."

<Sanosuke> "What about those with her?"

<Gabriel> "Once she's dead.... they can do whatever they please...."

<Sanosuke> "What if they want to hurt us?"

<Gabriel> "They wont... I told them to leave us alone... Im sure that girl doesnt mean much..."

<Sanosuke> "Let's hope so then."

<Gabriel> "I think I will gather the Sieryu seishi... as distractions..."

<Sanosuke> "Alright then." Tamahome smiled and pulled his arms around him.

<Gabriel> "Sleep now... im exhausted"

<Sanosuke> "Alright love... you're good to sleep with."

<Gabriel> Nakago draws Tamahome close and snuggles in... drifting to blissfull sleep from his exhaustion

<Sanosuke> Tamahome presses to him, happy, and prayes nothing will part them.

<Gabriel> Tasuki eyes the ship they are going to board dubiously.... "Are you sure I have to get on that?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes... now come on." Zelgadis carried him onto it.

<Gabriel> Tasuki clings to Zel... shaking terribly.... and Lina shakes her head at the bandits fear

<Sanosuke> Zel shot Lina an angry look and tried to comfort Tasuki./

<Gabriel> "He's being a wuss Zel... his attribute is supposed to be courage....'

<Sanosuke> "Don't judge people Lina.... not everyone can be that way all the time.":

<Gabriel> "Hmph.... watching you two is starting to make me ill.... " Lina says... and walks to the bow of the boat to look out over the sea

<Gabriel> "Us two?"

<Sanosuke> "I don't know what she means either." Zel started stroking Tasuki's hair again.

<Gabriel> Tasuki closes his eyes and starts to fall asleep as usual....

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis sat down and held him, gazing down at him.

<Gabriel> Tasuki looks so innocent in his half asleep daze...

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis smiled as he looked at the sleeping Tasuki. ~He's all I want...~

<Gabriel> Lina stares out at the sea.... thinking to herself ~This is really tough.... this world is so dull... and.... that meatloaf head Gourry isnt here to kick around...."

<Gabriel> ~

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis seemed actually happy for once as he held Tasuki in his arms.

<Gabriel> Tasuki mumbles orders to bandits in his dreams...

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis listened in.

<Gabriel> "set up an ambush over there.... take no flak.... take the gold and run....:

<Gabriel> Tasuki puts his thumb back in his mouth

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis glanced over to Lina, wondering if she heard any of that, then smiled down at Tasuki, thinking how cute he was.

<Gabriel> Lina is too busy thinking about Gourry to notice anything else

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis brushed a stray lock of hair from Tasuki's face, smiling as he watched him.

<Gabriel> Tasuki's eyes flutter open

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis was still looking down at him.

<Gabriel> "Are we off the water yet?"

<Sanosuke> "Almost."

<Gabriel> "Is that scary lady gone? The one who's all flat?"

<Sanosuke> "Nah, she's over there...." Zelgadis gestured.

<Gabriel> "Can we go someplace else then.....?"

<Sanosuke> "Sure. Where did you want to go? Inside?"

<Gabriel> Tasuki nods... looking fearful "We cant fall off... inside..."

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis stood up with him and carried him inside, walking down to a room with a comfy bed.

<Gabriel> "You dont have ta carry me everywhere.... ya know"

<Sanosuke> "Well, if you wish to walk you may.. I don't mind carrying."

<Gabriel> Tasuki squirms out of Zel's arms and falls onto the bed

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis pulled up a chair and sat down by the bed. "More comfy there? has to be... it's probably soft."

<Gabriel> "You aint that bad... I think I slept the entire way here.... huh?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes. But still, the bed isn't hard as rock... is it? I am for the most part." Zelgadis sighed and looked down.

<Gabriel> "you aint that hard.... I kinda like ya..."

<Sanosuke> "Really?" Zelgadis sat up. "I long to be human again... that's my dream..."

<Gabriel> "That little witch promised you a wish didnt she?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes. And she's a sorceress, not a witch."

<Gabriel> "Oh.... whats your world like... anyway?"

<Gabriel> "does everyone have magic like you and her?"

<Sanosuke> "Well... I'm not sure how to discribe it... but no, not everyone does."

<Gabriel> Tasuki nods "I suppose you have your share of good and evil too ...."

<Sanosuke> "Yes. We've had to fight much evil." Zelgadis sighed, thinking of Amelia for a breif momment.

<Gabriel> "So.. how come you are .... like you are?

<Sanosuke> "I was changed after a foolish request... I wanted to be strong... I was granted my wish..." Zelgadis closed his eyes.

<Gabriel> "Huh... I gues that fits be careful what you wish for?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes... be very careful... I should never have made such a foolish wish...."

<Gabriel> "Its okay tho..... you dont look that bad.... Im sure... you dont wanna hear that tho"

<Sanosuke> "It's not that... no one but that Mazuko will ever be able to.... well... touch me a certain way... and I didn't want him, he just took what he wanted.... That's why I want to be human.. so that my flesh can be soft to

<Sanosuke> the touch again... and not just cause I look different."

<Gabriel> "I understand what ya mean... you might hurt someone if you... well.... wanted to be physical that way...."

<Sanosuke> "Yes... but i often didn't think of it... I consintrated on other things."

<Gabriel> "I still think yer a nice guy... im gonna stick with ya"

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis smiled some. "Thank you." He rested his hand on the bed.

<Gabriel> Tasuki picks up the hand and examines it...

<Sanosuke> It was hard, not soft like flesh should be.

<Gabriel> Tasuki puts the hand on his head

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis chuckled a little and started to stroke Tasuki's hair again.

<Gabriel> Tasuki purrs and closes his eyes... obviously liking that very much

<Sanosuke> "Your hair is so soft."

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis whispered.

<Gabriel> "I can imagine... yours is when you are fully human..." Tasuki murmurs

<Sanosuke> "I... I don't remember."

<Gabriel> Tasuki smiles "you wanna lay down with me?"

<Sanosuke> "I don't sleep much... but sure."

<Gabriel> Tasuki smiles and moves ove ron the bed

<Gabriel> "Ive never... even thought about relationships before... how bout you?"

<Sanosuke> "I... Well... I've been busy... but,lately I had been thinking..." Zelgadis lay down next to him.

<Gabriel> "I didnt start thinkin bout it till.... a few minutes ago... weird.... huh?"

<Sanosuke> "I suppose that is weird...you not into sex before like me or just causal sleeping around?"

<Gabriel> "Never really interested in anyone.... too busy runnin the gang"

<Sanosuke> "Didn't even sleep with your pals?"

<Gabriel> "naw.... that woulda shown favoritism"

<Sanosuke> "I see..." Zelgadis stared up at the ceiling, his hands on his chest.

<Gabriel> Tasuki sidles up to him... not seeming to mind how.... hard his body is

<Sanosuke> Zel smiled, not used to a warm friendly body next to his, and glad for this time.

<Gabriel> Gourry is wandering the inn he and his party are staying at..... wondering if everyone left him behind

<Sanosuke> Xellos tapped him on the shoulder, smiling pleasently.

<Gabriel> "Ah? Oh.... Xellos.... its you.... where is everyone?"

<Sanosuke> "In a book... Lina is finnaly on a quest to get breasts... and Zelgadis is after becoming a human again, pity for him."

<Gabriel> "In... a book? Youre an author?"

<Sanosuke> "I have many talents my friend.. one of them I wish to show you now." Xellos had one eye open, showing he ment busness as he hooked Gourry's arm and dragged him off to one of the rooms they had.

<Gabriel> "Oh? "

<Sanosuke> Xellos put his hand to the front of Gourry's pants, feeling what lay benith. "Tell me, ever get to use this for anything good?"

<Gabriel> "He.. hey....!"

<Sanosuke> "Do you?" His hand clenched through the pants.

<Gabriel> ~whats he' mean by good?~

<Gabriel> Gourry's small mind is utterly confused

<Sanosuke> Xellos chuckled. "So yo stuck this in anyone?" He was grinning wide.

<Gabriel> "Stuck... in?"

<Sanosuke> "You're more dumb then you look... Oh well.. you're good looking." Xellos flicked his fingers and suddenly they both were naked.

<Gabriel> Gourry blinks

<Sanosuke> Xellos fingered Gourry's cock, grinning more.

<Gabriel> "What are you doing? " Gourry asks in wide eyed innocence

<Sanosuke> "Doesn't it feel good gourry?" Xellos took the cock into his hand, rubbing it, stimulating it.

<Gabriel> Gourry stands stock still.... a little confused by the wonderful sensation thats causing

<Sanosuke> "You like it, don't you?" Xellos asked slyly, still rubbing./

<Gabriel> "Y... yes it feels... nice"

<Sanosuke> "Want it to feel even better?"

<Gabriel> "Better?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes... more nice.... "

<Gabriel> Gourry gets a thoughtful look on his face "What was the question again?

<Sanosuke> Xellos chuckled. "You'll see." He leaned forward and started to lick as gourry got hard... and at teh same time cast a spell to project what he was doing in the air Lina was staring at.

<Gabriel> The whole ship can hear Lina's howl of anger

<Sanosuke> Xellos took Gourry into his mouth once he had gotten the blonde hard enough.

<Sanosuke> "What was that?" Zelgadis asked, sitting up in the bed.

<Gabriel> 'Sounded like that girl... youre draggin around" Tasuki says

<Sanosuke> "Better check it out... we might be under attack or something."

<Gabriel> Gourry blinks... a few times.... then lets out a soft moan...

<Sanosuke> Xellos grins and pushes Gourry back some so he's on the floor as he was sucked on.

<Gabriel> Meanwhile... Lina is screaming about how she's going to kill a certain Mazoku... and the sailors that were on deck are cowering at the other end of the ship

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis stops in his tracks as he sees the projection. "Oh.. that's why..."

<Gabriel> "Whose that guy?" Tasuki says... "and whats he doing to that other guy?"

<Sanosuke> "That's Xellos.... and he's sucking on Gourry.... he really is a pervert..."

<Gabriel> "how can you take advantage of my meatloaf head!!!" Lina screams....

<Gabriel> "Whats she so upset about?" Tasuki asks.... hiding behind Zel

<Sanosuke> "Lina... calm down."

<Sanosuke> Xellos sucked on Gourry harder, trying to evoke louder moans from him which Lina would be able to hear.

<Gabriel> Gourry gasps and arches his back... moaning loudly like Xelloss intended

<Gabriel> "Only Im allowed to take advantage of Gourry....." Lina howls....

<Sanosuke> Xellos grins to himself, moving one hand up under gourry to circle his entrance.

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis blinked and looked at her. "You'd do this to him?"

<Gabriel> "Iu.... er..... thats besides the point...."

<Sanosuke> "Well? Would you?"

<Sanosuke> Xellos pressed a finger slowly into him, pressing into his g spot.

<Gabriel> "Only if he wanted...."

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis sighed and looked to Tasuki

<Gabriel> Gourry lets out a shuddering moan.. his body understanding whats going on.... but his mind hopelessly lost

<Sanosuke> Xellos hoped that his body would take over his brain and make him want more and more of this wonderful pleasure as he stroked his g spot and sucked him off.

<Gabriel> Lina puts her head in her hands...

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis looked back at her, then to Tasuki again.

<Gabriel> Tasuki shrugs

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis walked over to Lina and squated by her.

<Gabriel> Gourry's body does take over... and his hips move with the sucking...

<Sanosuke> Xellos grins and sucks harder, waiting for gourry to spill into his mouth, and cry out when he did.

<Gabriel> "This isnt happening.... why is he doing this to me...." Lina laments.... pulling her cape around herself

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis patted her. "I think we both know the answer to that one..."

<Sanosuke> Xellos rubbed faster and harder, trying to get gourry to climax.

<Gabriel> "But... Gourry... he didnt have to do that.. to him...."

<Gabriel> Gourry's cry flls the air of both worlds.... as he climaxes.... causing lina to wince

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis sighed. "Face it... Xellos is an evil bastard...."

<Sanosuke> Xellos pulled his head up, licking his lips. He placed his hands on either side of gourry and slid up close to him.

<Gabriel> "I feel so sick.... Zel.. make it go away...."

<Sanosuke> "Um... just don't look up... ok Lina?" Zel was still watching, and wincing.

<Sanosuke> Xellos leaned his face close to Gourry's as he slid his hard cock up to his entrance.

<Gabriel> Gourry is panting.... still not quite sure whats happening..... even though it feels good

<Sanosuke> The Mazuko eased himself in and rocked his hips, holding Gourry's arms just incase the blond wanted to struggle and get away.

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis winced again as he watched.

<Gabriel> Gourry's mind cant think enough to struggle... too much stimulation at once

<Sanosuke> Xellos laughed as he thrusted into Gourry, quiet pleased with himself.

<Gabriel> Lina's resolve is breaking down.... because what she cant see she can still hear.... and she chokes back a sob

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis tried his best to comfort her. "We'll get him Lina.. I swear..."

<Sanosuke> Xellos thrusted himself hard into the warrior, making him moan from the pleasure.

<Gabriel> Gourry's legs wrap around Xellos, and his fingers clench into fists... as he moans

<Sanosuke> "Very good... very very good, isn't it?" Xellos asked him, thrusting harder and harder.

<Gabriel> "Yes....." Gourry manages to say...

<Sanosuke> Lina was able to hear that....

<Sanosuke> Xellos smiled. "Very good. You can have this any time you want Gourry...." He started to climax.

<Gabriel> Lina crumples into a heap at that point....

<Sanosuke> "We'll kill him lina... the bastard has gone too far..." Zelgadis told her.

<Gabriel> "uhnn..."

<Sanosuke> The projection vanished.

<Gabriel> Gourry's mind finds its way back... and is wondering why he's sore....

<Sanosuke> Xellos sat next to him, drinking tea.

<Gabriel> Gourry sits up.... and blinks

<Sanosuke> "Want some tea my friend?" Xellos smiled, both of them still naked.

<Gabriel> "tea?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes. Would you like some?"

<Gabriel> "Uhh... I ... guess"

<Sanosuke> Xellos handed him a cup. "There you are."

<Gabriel> Gourry blinks.... and drinks it groggily

<Sanosuke> "Just call when you want to be pleasured again." Xellos stood up, his clothing appearing on him.

<Gabriel> Gourry looks entirely confused....

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis sat at a table, sipping a drink slowly.

<Gabriel> Tasuki is just watching Zel... a bit confused about this whole ordeal

<Sanosuke> "You ok, Tasuki?" Zelgadis asked.

<Gabriel> "YaehI just cant believe... what I just saw an stuff..."

<Sanosuke> "What part of it?"

<Gabriel> "the whole thing...."

<Sanosuke> "What do you need explained?"

<Gabriel> "Nothin... just... that guys some sick bastard.... to show that girl someone she's obviously got the hots for... ummm..."

<Sanosuke> "A scene of himself taking advantage? Yes... he is... I think that might be part of Mazuko nature..."

<Gabriel> "You think she's gonna live?"

<Sanosuke> "I don't know.... but I promised to get him with her after this is over."

<Gabriel> "Right"

<Sanosuke> "If you can get out, want to help us deal with him?"

<Gabriel> "Yeah.....!"

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis smiled. "He did that sort of stuff to me too..."

<Gabriel> "Sick... sick"

<Sanosuke> "He probably wants Lina as well...."

<Gabriel> "Ugh... he's definately sick then..."

<Sanosuke> "Why do you say that?"

<Gabriel> "She aint that good lookin and she's got a horrible temper...

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis chuckled some. "Just watch it.. she is a bandit killer after all.... and they all know it back in my world..."

<Gabriel> "She looked pretty pathetic today... I feel kinda bad for her....:

<Sanosuke> "What would you do if that happend to you?"

<Gabriel> "I woulda killed myself.... "

<Gabriel> "But thats just me

<Sanosuke> "Really? I didn't know you were the suicide type..." Zelgadis sighed.

<Gabriel> "Im weak when it comes to those types of things...":

<Sanosuke> "How come?"

<Gabriel> "I may act like a jerk... but Im really fragile.... "

<Gabriel> "Damn... that guy even said he liked it.... she's not the suicidal type is she?"

<Sanosuke> "I see.... I suppose many do. It's hard to be strong..." Zelgadis blinked, having been looking at his hands, "I don't think so, why?"

<Gabriel> 'Oh... just askin.... you dont want her to die or nothin do ya?"

<Sanosuke> "No, and if she dies.... there is no chance of getting that wish either." Zelgadis stood up.

<Sanosuke> meanwhile, a projection flashed before Nakago. "Hello my friend." Xellos said cheerfully... tamahome was not in the room.

<Gabriel> Nakago looks up

<Gabriel> "yes?"

<Sanosuke> "I know you're interested in getting rid of the priestess..."

<Gabriel> "Yes.... she endangers my peace of mind...."

<Sanosuke> "Well... see this,,,: Another projection of Lina, standing at the bow of the ship, looking very upset.

<Gabriel> Nakago raises an eyebrow "Yes?"

<Sanosuke> Xellos grinned, and eye half open. "Tell me something Nakago, if you saw the one you loved seduced and taken and you could do nothing but watch... how would you feel inside?"

<Gabriel> "I... would feel.... empty... and vengeful...."

<Sanosuke> "And if you couldn't hurt the one that did this?"

<Gabriel> "Kill myself.... depending upon circumstances.... perhaps not though"

<Sanosuke> "That's the situation I just put her in." Xellos had a evil grin on his face.

<Gabriel> "I suppose it would depend if my lover was still mine or not"

<Gabriel> "Oh? Driving her to her death... for what means?"

<Sanosuke>

<Sanosuke> "She might.... just thought you'd like to see..."

<Gabriel> "Bravo... perhaps I wont have to hunt her down anyway..."

<Sanosuke> "I stoll her brain dead love's body basicly... made his body want me... enjoy me..."

<Sanosuke> Xellos chuckled. "Well, there is the little matter of her traveling compainons...."

<Gabriel> "You want them dead as well?"

<Sanosuke> "No, put tortured would be good... as long as you don't cut any thing off... afterwords, I want them sent back here.... that might mean summoning your.... dragon...."

<Gabriel> "I dont have a priestess...."

<Sanosuke> "I'll find you one...." He grinned.

<Gabriel> "Summoning seiryuu would be quite easy... then...."

<Gabriel> "Since I already have most of the Seishi assembled..."

<Sanosuke> Xellos nodded and smiled. "Good."

<Sanosuke> Xellos winked out of the projection and vanished from the room.

<Gabriel> Val pounces at Fiila from a bed of flowers... even though he knows he's not supposed to play in the flowers.....

<Sanosuke> Fillia eeps and turns to catch him. "Val, what were you doing in there?"

<Gabriel> "playing..." He says brightly

<Sanosuke> Xellos appeard while her back was turned, holding the book, He grinned some at Val who could see him.

<Sanosuke> "Well, please don't hurt the flowers." She smiled at him.

<Gabriel> Val squeals "Mommy... its the evil mazoku man!!!"

<Sanosuke> "What??" She turned. "AHH!! Xellos?? What are you doing here?"

<Gabriel> "Go away... mommy says youre garbage... and garbage is bad..."

<Sanosuke> Xellos smiled warmly. "Just to give you a gift my dear Fillia. An old book I've been rewriting, I wondering if you wanted to take a look." Xellos didn't seem to care about what Val was saying as he handing Fillia the book.

<Gabriel> Val snaps at Xellos' hand

<Sanosuke> Xellos just smiled. "Enjoy." He vanished into Gourry's room.

<Sanosuke> Fillia opened the book and started to read.

<Gabriel> "Whats it about mommy?" Val says... trying to see...

<Sanosuke> "Universe of the 4 gods... what the? He re-wrote this??? It was a great story." Then she and Val started to shimmer and she screamed.

<Gabriel> Val squeals in fear as he and Filia are drawn into the book

<Sanosuke> Fillia and Val dropped into existance right by Nakago. Fillia's tail popped out and she roared, :"XELLOS!!!! YOU TRIXTER!!"

<Gabriel> Nakago is surprised by a moment.... then grins "He's such a quick worker...."

<Sanosuke> Fillia turned, swinging her tail. "Y-your... Nakago?? AH! Xellos! I'm gonna get you!!!!"

<Gabriel> "Calm down... madam..." Nakago says.... "All I need you to do is Summon Seiryuu ... to send a few people home..."

<Sanosuke> "Summon Seiryuu... bu-but... you're the bad guys!"

<Gabriel> "This isnt the story you remember..."

<Sanosuke> "Oh? He told me he re-wrote it... what's going on? What about Miaka and Yui?"

<Gabriel> "Gone..."

<Sanosuke> "What?? But that would... oh yah, he changed the story." Fillia plunked down, her tail to the side now as she held Val on her lap.

<Gabriel> Val makes faces at Nakago...

<Sanosuke> Her tail twitched. "Then what is going on now?"

<Gabriel> "He wishes for me to send two people out of the book.... I will need Seiryu to do that"

<Sanosuke> "Who?"

<Gabriel> "A man known as Zelgadiss... and Tasuki"

<Gabriel> "As for what reason.... I do not know...."

<Sanosuke> "ZELGADIS??? How did he wind up here.... and wait, why am I your priestess and not the other?"

<Gabriel> "There is another girl here... the priestess of suzaku... and she is not long for this world..."

<Sanosuke> "Another girl." Fillia flinched. "Who? What's her name??

<Gabriel> "Lina...."

<Sanosuke> "AHHH!!!!!!" Her yell was heard throughout the palace, even disturbing Tamahome who was eating.

<Gabriel> "I assume you know her?"

<Sanosuke> "Xellos... gonna kill... can't belive.. I sort of.. liked him.. once..."

<Gabriel> "You will summon Seiryu for us... but first I have to make sure that Lina girl is dead..."

<Gabriel> "Xelloss... doesnt seem to want her back.... so I will make sure she stays here... I cant trust you not to wish her out along with the others....'

<Sanosuke> "AHH!!! I'm not killing Lina!!!! She's my friend!"

<Gabriel> "No no... Im going to have Tamahome make sure she's gone.... from what Xellos said she is a goner anyway"

<Sanosuke> "Wha.. what do you mean?"

<Gabriel> Nakago shrugs "It seems he seduced her love interest and let her watch him enjoy it"

<Sanosuke> "He... oh my... he is sick! He seduced GOURRY????"

<Gabriel> "I suppose if thats his name...."

<Sanosuke> Fillia panted and set Val down as she stood up. "I can't belive this... I can't belive this.."

<Gabriel> Val clings to Filia's skirt

<Sanosuke> Fillia patted his head. "We'll make that evil mazuko pay, right Val?"

<Gabriel> "Yeah... he's a bad man..."

<Sanosuke> "Bad bad bad... yes he is... you can't trust a Mazuko... they are all evil no matter what!"

<Gabriel> "but mommy.. wasnt I...?"

<Sanosuke> "Shh.... you were really a dragon forced to become a mazuko... it's not your fault sweety... it's the fault of my race for what they did."

<Sanosuke> Tamahome walked into the room at that momment. "What's going on?"

<Gabriel> "Tamahome... meet the Priestess of Seiryuu"

<Sanosuke> He bowed his head slightly, and blinked. He moved over to Nakago and whispered, "She's got a tail..."

<Gabriel> "I noticed..."

<Sanosuke> Fillia crossed her arms. "I'm a dragon..."

<Gabriel> "Ahh.... what better than to summon another dragon?"

<Sanosuke> Tamahome got a blank shock look. "D-dragon?"

<Gabriel> "She came from the other world.... apparently they have odd creatures there..."

<Sanosuke> "ODD???" She growled.

<Gabriel> "tamahome.. I want you to find and finish that Lina girl... while I make preparations for the summoning"

<Sanosuke> Tamahome nodded and kissed Nakago. "I'll be happy to."

<Sanosuke> "NOOO!!!" Fillia shrieked, "Yoiu can't kill Lina!!!"

<Gabriel> "Mommy... why'd he... just kiss...."

<Sanosuke> "Cause they're lovers dear..." She then looked back at Nakago. "I will never summon for you... you're gonna klill a friend of mine!!"

<Gabriel> Nakago stands and looks at her "You will if you value your little one's life"

<Sanosuke> "You wouldn't! Oh wait, you're evil and sadistic and in the origonaly sent that psycho to kill a bunch of kids.. of course you would! But touch him and I'll eat you."

<Gabriel> "Tamahome... go do your job love... I will see you soon..." Nakago says... "I will deal with this woman and be ready when you return...

<Sanosuke> Tamahome nodded, and smiled, running out.

<Gabriel> Nakago grins at Filia coldly "Do you forget my power? Since you know the book so well.... you should remember...."

<Sanosuke> She shivered. "I swear though... if you hurt Val, I will eat you... no mater what. I don't care if I have to get naked before you... I will transform and gobble you up."

<Sanosuke> Meanwhile... a Projection of Xellos appeard before Lina. "Hello my friend." He said cheerfully as if nothing was wrong at all.

<Gabriel> Lina looks at him coldly.... "You dare.... show your face.... in front of me...."

<Sanosuke> "Oh, you mean you didn't like that?"

<Gabriel> "You used him.... to get at me...."

<Sanosuke> "Found out how to turn him on... You should try it if you want him. He loves being sucked on..."

<Gabriel> "Thats not the point... you took advantage of an imbecile... "

<Sanosuke> "And you're point is? Anyway, what are you going to do now? Jump, or make a deal with me? Either way i win..."

<Gabriel> "Why are you doing this to me?"

<Sanosuke> "It's a secrete." He grinned.

<Gabriel> "What are your terms?"

<Sanosuke> "What do you think Lina?"

<Gabriel> Lina frowns "You have to promise to leave Gourry alone...."

<Sanosuke> "Why would I want to?"

<Gabriel> "Say it or no deal...."

<Sanosuke> "You can stay in the book if you want Lina...."

<Gabriel> "Leave Gourry alone... he doesnt understand...."

<Sanosuke> "He likes it though... he knows he likes it."

<Gabriel> Lina shakes her head

<Sanosuke> "Tell me Lina, have you ever with anyone?"

<Gabriel> "No...."

<Sanosuke> "Heh. I guess I was traveling with the right party then... a group of virgins..."

<Gabriel> "I guess Im just going to have to die that way..."

<Sanosuke> "If you'd like. Oh well. I wonder if Amelia is a virgin.. but she left once she found out Zelgadis was gay."

<Gabriel> "I would like to see Gourry again... though...."

<Sanosuke> "So what is your choice?" Xellos grinned, an eye half open.

<Gabriel> "I dont know...."

<Sanosuke> "Come now, which way shall I win? You jumping off or coming to me?"

<Gabriel> "Why dont you come back later.... "

<Sanosuke> "Alright... but you've got an assassin on your tail, pluss they now have their priestess."

<Gabriel> "Who else did you dupe into coming in?"

<Sanosuke> "You'll see..." His projection vanished and he took the book and sat down on gourry's lap.

<Gabriel> Gourry blinks...

<Sanosuke> "Now let's make this even more interesting.. a true battle between sides..." Xellos took out his pen and started to write...

<Sanosuke> The grave of the two lovers vanished before Nakago's eyes as he was walking by it with Fillia and Val.

<Gabriel> nakago freezes

<Gabriel> "What is going on.....?"

<Sanosuke> Xellos continued to write... and a storm caught the ship.

<Gabriel> Lina grabs onto the railing of the ship... surprised by the sudden change of weather....

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis looked at Tasuki as the hull started to crack.

<Gabriel> "What the hell is he up to....." Lina says... cursing the Mazoku under her breath and running to find Zel

<Sanosuke> A wave washed over the ship and threw her off (she's gonna wake up on shore... with a rather confused Hotohori and Nuriko... heh heh)

<Sanosuke> More water poured into the ship.

<Gabriel> "Zel... Zel... Zellllllll.... water.....we're sinking!! I CANT SWIM!!!"

<Sanosuke> Zelgaids picked Tasuki up and started to stroke his hair as he cast ray wing.

<Gabriel> Tasuki squirms a moment.... then calms down

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis flew out of the sinking ship with him, looking for dry land.

<Gabriel> Lina groans.... trying to lever herself up

<Sanosuke> "Hey," came a somewhat feminan voice, "You alive?" Lina felt someone poking her.

<Gabriel> "If she's not alive push her back in the ocean... I dont want to have her corpse smelling up the beach while Im stuck here...." comes another voice

<Sanosuke> "I think I heard her groan."

<Gabriel> "Im... alive....' Lina rasps... and sits up dizzily

<Sanosuke> "See dear, she is alive after all." The feminan voice said.

<Gabriel> "Oh... well she's all dirty... throw her back anyway..."

<Sanosuke> "And you're not? We don't have anything clean around here."

<Gabriel> "True..."

<Gabriel> "Im getting all wrinkly in the sun...."

<Sanosuke> "I'll find you a fan."

<Gabriel> Lina growls and tries to focus on whose talking

<Sanosuke> She saw a pretty boy sitting with his back to a tree and a 'girl' with long purple hair scowering the plants for something to fan him with.

<Gabriel> "Who the heck are you?"

<Sanosuke> The 'girl' turned back around, holding a large fan plant. "We're stranded like you..." 'she' smiled at Lina before going back to the pretty boy.

<Gabriel> "Im not stranded for long... " Lina says... trying to stand... but finding her ankle is not wanting to bear weight

<Sanosuke> The 'girl' started faning the boy, smiling down at him. "We don't know how we got here."

<Gabriel> "This priestess business is for the birds"

<Sanosuke> "Priestess?" 'she' looked over at Lina.

<Gabriel> "Yeah Im the Priestess of Suzaku..... of course half the Seishii are dead..."

<Sanosuke> The girl's eyes flashed. "Priestess? You mean, you actually came????????"

<Gabriel> "and ones a jackass traitor... Huh? I didnt exactly come by choice..."

<Sanosuke> "Where were you when the palace was under attack?" The girl's fist balled up, breaking the fan 'she' was holding.

<Gabriel> ".... umm... back in my world... "

<Sanosuke> The girl looked very upset and walked over to another tree, punching a hole right through it with a fist.

<Gabriel> "Nuriko... calm down... "

<Gabriel> Lina blinks

<Sanosuke> The purple haired one was panting hard and looked back at the other. :"But if she had just come sooner we wouldn't be here!

<Sanosuke> "

<Gabriel> "Its not my fault.... " Lina protests

<Gabriel> "You guys arent dead...."

<Sanosuke> "We were but something happend..." Nuriko said, sitting down on the other's lap.

<Gabriel> hotohori puts his arms around Nuriko

<Gabriel> "Look... the reason this place is so screwed up is because of Xelloss.... "

<Gabriel> "Everyone wants to kill him now.... you might as well join the party...

<Sanosuke> "Who's Xellos?" Nuriko asked, leaning into Hotohori.

<Gabriel> "Thea Really powerful being from my world... he's been screwing with this book... rewriting it at his whim.... and totally messing with my head..."

<Sanosuke> "Book? Rewriting?" Nuriko blinked, getting very comfy on Hotohori's lap.

<Gabriel> "in my world.... your world is represented by a book.... when you read it... you get pulled in..."

<Gabriel> "at lest.... thats the way Xellos has it now.... It used to be only if you were a girl...."

<Sanosuke> "Um... I see." Nuriko looked confused. "And How did Xellos rewrite this.. um.. book?"

<Gabriel> "With a pen I guess.... who knows with him...."

<Sanosuke> "Um.. I didn't mean that.. I meant.. what has he changed?"

<Gabriel> "Well you guys were dead when I first got here.... for one thing.... "

<Sanosuke> "Yeah...." Nuriko gave her a blank look. "Dear, say something?" He poked Hotohori's hand.

<Gabriel> "Originally you got a girl named Miaka.... and she was your Miko... then Yui came in and became the Seiryuu miko....

<Sanosuke> "Miaka?"

<Gabriel> Hothori blinks... "Im trying to conserve my strength... Nuriko... I'll need it to stay beautiful.."

<Sanosuke> nuriko giggled. "You'll always stay beautiful."

<Gabriel> "Tamahome... and him...." Lina points at Hotohori... "They both fell in love with this Miaka girl..."

<Sanosuke> "WHAT???" Nuriko jumped at that.

<Gabriel> "But now Tamahome is with ... that Nakago guy...."

<Sanosuke> "Hotohori doesn't like girls!"

<Gabriel> "Well... Nuriko she did say the book was changed..."

<Sanosuke> "True... and what was I in the origonal then? Some muscle bouned idot or something?"

<Gabriel> "No... pretty much the same.. a gay guy in love with the emperor"

<Sanosuke> Nuriko's face went into that strange anime half anger look of falling, and stopped looking at Lina, to gaze at Hotohori.

<Gabriel> "Look... I need your help... "

<Gabriel> Hotohori kisses Nuriko's nose

<Sanosuke> "With?" Nuriko asked, looking back at Lina.

<Gabriel> "I need you to help me Summon Suzaku....

<Sanosuke> Nuriko tickled Hotohori's side.

<Gabriel> Hotohori chuckles and tickles Nuriko back

<Sanosuke> "Alright.. better then just laying about I guess." Nuriko giggled as he stood up, trying to pull up Hotohori with him.

<Gabriel> Hothori is quite easily hoisted to his feet by Nuriko

<Gabriel> "I just have to figure out where Zel is.."

<Sanosuke> Nuriko kissed him and wrapped his arms around him. "Who's Zel?"

<Gabriel> "My friend... from my world... he got put in here too....:

<Gabriel> "Xellos is having a heyday... screwing with us...."

<Sanosuke> "Oh. Hope he's not cute, I'd be afraid my hotohori would drift." Nuriko teased.

<Gabriel> "He's already got someone I think... we've already found Tasuki ..."

<Sanosuke> "Who's Tasuki?"

<Gabriel> "Another one of the seven... a bandit..."

<Gabriel> "I still cant get a complete set though... Tamahome wont help me for nothing..."

<Sanosuke> "What will he help you for then?" Nuriko was still kissing Hotohori.,

<Gabriel> "Me not blowing you up..... " Lina says flatly.... and demonstrates on a nearby palm

<Sanosuke> "Me up?" Nuriko blinked and ahhhed at the explosion.

<Gabriel> "Do you guys mind heights?"

<Sanosuke> "Um, they're ok."

<Gabriel> Lina surrounds Nuriko and hotohori in a bubble... then casts ray wing on it

<Sanosuke> Nuriko clung to Hotohori.

<Gabriel> Lina levitates herself after the bubble... then bops it along towards the port she was heading for on the ship

<Gabriel> "I think Im going to be sick Nuriko..."

<Sanosuke> "Me too... Ohh.. but sick ruins beauty!"

<Gabriel> Hotohori clings to Nuriko all through the terrible ride.... not letting go until lina pops the buttle at the port

<Gabriel> ^bubble

<Sanosuke> Nuriko doesnt' let go either, nearly crushing Hotohori with his strength.

<Gabriel> "Now.... lina says.... we have to hope Zel made it here too..."

<Gabriel> Hotohori groans... "Im not moving for a bit...."

<Sanosuke> Nuriko is still clinging hard to him. "Me neither."

<Gabriel> Lina sighs "cant you at least get to an inn?"

<Sanosuke> "Um... yah." Nuriko picked Hotohori up and carried him there.

<Gabriel> Lina nods... and follows.....

<Sanosuke> "Lina!" Called a voice.

<Gabriel> Zel?"

<Sanosuke> "Yah! We're over here!"

<Gabriel> "Great... guess what I found!!"

<Sanosuke> "What?"

<Gabriel> "I found two more Seishi... the dead ones...."

<Sanosuke> "Really? Nuriko and Hotohori?"

<Sanosuke> Nuriko clung to his love.

<Gabriel> "Yeah..... they arent feeling too well though... "

<Sanosuke> "I'd imagine... I guess Xellos is doing some more re-writing then."

<Gabriel> Lina nods.... and walks over to Zel... dragging the two somewhat sick seishi along

<Gabriel> "Im getting worried.... the book is a spell.... and you can only screw with a spell too much before it collapses...."

<Sanosuke> "Yes. WE need to get out of here soon. And Take Tasuki with us."

<Gabriel> "And listen to this... first thing... theres an assasin after me... secondly.... Xelloss tricked someone else into the book...."

<Sanosuke> "Oh no.... I hope it's not Amelia... she'll want to make her wish to... um... make me like girls.. soecificly her..."

<Gabriel> "Im betting its Amelia.... though... "

<Sanosuke> "NOOOO!!1!" Zelgadis fell over.

<Gabriel> "Theres one important thing we've forgotten... you have to be ... umm... pure to summon Suzaku..."

<Sanosuke> "P-pure?" Zelgadis blinked.

<Gabriel> "Xelloss was bragging about how he fell into a party of virgins.... so .... the only party member left is Amelia... ne?"

<Sanosuke> "I hope you don't mean your summoners have to be pure..."

<Gabriel> "No... just the priestess.... and you have no worries about that.... I already told you"

<Sanosuke> "Yah.... I know." Zelgadis picked himself up.

<Gabriel> "Xellos tried to con me right before he sank our ship...."

<Sanosuke> "What did he do?"

<Gabriel> "He was gloating that either way he was going to win.... so I went neither..."

<Sanosuke> "Either way? What were teh choices?"

<Gabriel> "Jumping off the boat or going with him...

<Sanosuke> "Ouch... some choice." Zelgadis heaed with them all to the inn to get a room.

<Gabriel> "Im going to get a bath.... " Lina says.. asking that water be sent to her room

<Sanosuke> "Alright." Zelgadis went to another room with Tasuki.

<Gabriel> Hotohori blinks

<Gabriel> "Im so glad we've recieved such a warm welcome...."

<Gabriel> Lina hands Nuriko a room key and wanders to her own... not interested in food at the moment...

<Sanosuke> Nuriko shrugs and smiles as he drags Hotohori to their room.

<Gabriel> Hotohori flops down on the bed and groans

<Sanosuke> Nuriko goes to his side. "Need anything?"

<Gabriel> "Just you.... "

<Sanosuke> Nuriko smiled. "No clothing then?"

<Gabriel> 'Nope... not at all..."

<Sanosuke> Nuriko smiled and stripped before straddling his lover.

<Gabriel> "Dont rock the bed too much love...."

<Sanosuke> "I won't." Nuriko started stripping Hotohori while smiling down at him.

<Gabriel> Lina uses a small fireball spell to heat the water in the large wooden tub that serves for a bath.... and sighs

<Sanosuke> Xellos meanhile got himself naked and waved for Gourry to come over.

<Gabriel> Gourry moves over to Xellos...

<Sanosuke> Xellos stroked Gourry's rather large cock and projected it all to Lina.

<Gabriel> "d.... damn you Xellos...."

<Sanosuke> Xellos lay back and let Gourry's body take over in what it wanted.

<Gabriel> Lina plunks down on the floor... looking miserable as Gourry moves over Xellos... apparently wanting the Mazoku

<Sanosuke> Xellos grinned and possitioned himself eagerly.

<Gabriel> Gourry wastes no time in getting himself inside of Xelloss

<Sanosuke> Xellos throws his head back with a grin, mmming. "I bet you'd like this too Lina..." He said, but only she and nod Gourry could hear it.

<Sanosuke> not^

<Gabriel> "Xellos... I think youre playing your cards wrong... youve given me no reason to want to come back now.... Gourry's lost to me"

<Sanosuke> "Pitty, he's quite good... mmmm..." Xellos played with Gourry's hair.

<Gabriel> "He's not going to want me now...."

<Sanosuke> "All you have to do is know how to turn him on and he'll be yours."

<Gabriel> "and Im not so sure I want him anymore ... after what youre doing to him...." lina mutters

<Sanosuke> Xellos squized Gourry as he was taken.

<Gabriel> Gourr moans and thrusts himself into Xellos a little harder... stimulated by the squeezing

<Gabriel> Lina sighs and curls up in a ball on the floor... not wanting to watch anymore

<Sanosuke> Xellos closed his eyes and purred. "Mmm, he is very very good Lina.... I'll keep him if you're sure you don't want him at all."

<Gabriel> ~I cant let him know how much it hurts.... ~ Lina thinks to herself... knowing that being weak at this point will only Give the mazoku the upper hand

<Sanosuke> Meanwhile, Lina could also hear the moans from the next room....

<Gabriel> "I feel so trapped..." ~He's doing a good job... of trying to make me go nuts....`

<Sanosuke> Xellos laughed and let the projection disolve as the moans from the next room got louder.

<Gabriel> 'If his goal is to make me kill myself... he's certainly close..."

<Sanosuke> She could hear names being moaned out... Nuriko and Hotohori....

<Gabriel> "Im surrounded by couples.... all of them happily gay...."

<Sanosuke> There came a knock at her door.

<Gabriel> "C... come in..."

<Sanosuke> The door crecked open... and the next thing she knew something conected with her tub, shattering it... something that had been aimed for her body.

<Gabriel> Lina squeaks and rolls under the bed... "what the hell?"

<Sanosuke> She saw legs... and then something crashed into the floor junst inches from her head... a numchuk.

<Gabriel> "Hey... if anyone kills me its going to be me.... " Lina shouts.... getting out from under the bed and facing her attacker

<Sanosuke> It was Tamahome.... sent to kill her. "Then why don't you? I will not stop you."

<Gabriel> "You.... you ruined my bath.... "

<Sanosuke> "Yes... and now you're gonna die...."

<Gabriel> "Not unless I kill you first..." Lina says.... and draws a flare arrow

<Sanosuke> Tamahome rolled out of the way as it shot past, and struck out at her leg.

<Gabriel> Lina drops like a rock.... not expecting him to be able to dodge her spell

<Sanosuke> Tamahome wrapped his weapon around her neck and looked down at her.

<Gabriel> Lina puts her hands around the chain... trying to pull it loose and glaring at Tamahome defiantly

<Sanosuke> "Why did you ever come to this world? Did you think I'd let you break up my happyness?"

<Gabriel> "Do you think .... thats why Im here?" Lina gags... barely able to breathe

<Sanosuke> "Yes.... to set the book the way it was.... where my family is all dead and I have to be with some girl..."

<Gabriel> "I just want to .... go home...."

<Sanosuke> "Then why don't you?"

<Gabriel> "Dont you think.. I would if I could...?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes. I was told to kill you though... if you could get here then you can get back...."

<Gabriel> Lina shakes her head

<Sanosuke> "I think you'd say anything to keep yourself alive..."

<Gabriel> "think what you want then..."

<Sanosuke> Tamahome pulled the chain tight, starting to choke her.

<Gabriel> Lina gags... but manages to mutter out an electricity spell.... electrocuting both herself and Tamahome

<Sanosuke> Tamahome fell back, letting go of his weapon.

<Gabriel> "Itai.... that hurt..." Lina says.... unwrapping the chain from her neck

<Sanosuke> Tamahome twitched, eyes open in shock.. but he was still alive.

<Gabriel> Lina moves over to him and uses the chain to bind his wrists

<Sanosuke> Tamahome started to come to, his head swaing.

<Gabriel> Lina sits back and looks at him

<Sanosuke> "Uhhh...." HE groaned.

<Gabriel> "You going to behave yourself?"

<Sanosuke> "Let...go... of me... bitch."

<Gabriel> "Listen to me for a sec..."

<Sanosuke> "Why shoudl I?"

<Gabriel> "Because I have you tied up and youre not going anywhere until you listen...."

<Sanosuke> "Fine.... Talk."

<Gabriel> "I have no intention of fixing this book once I get out...."

<Sanosuke> "What are you trying to do then?"

<Gabriel> "Im trying to get home... and kill a certain pain in the ass Mazoku...."

<Sanosuke> "How are you going to do that?"

<Gabriel> "Once I get everyone out of this book... Im going to seal it so it cant be messed with anymore..."

<Sanosuke> "And what would that do to us?"

<Gabriel> "Believe me... Im so angry with Xellos.... he wont be able to withstand it...."

<Gabriel> "It would ensure that your world goes along as it is.... untampered with..."

<Gabriel> "so freak Mazoku cant rewrite the story as they please..."

<Sanosuke> Everything stopped and she saw Xellos standing before her, clothed and smiling sweetly. "Withstand what my dear friend?"

<Gabriel> Lina grits her teeth

<Sanosuke> Hecontinued to smile. "And you think I would re-write it again?"

<Gabriel> "Lets get this straight Trickster.... I am not your dear... friend...."

<Gabriel> "you never know when to leave things alone Xellos.s...."

<Sanosuke> "Ah, I see. What are you then?"

<Gabriel> "Im your worst nightmare.... " Lina growls... an odd fire in her eyes

<Sanosuke> Xellos's smile turned dark as he opened one eye. "I see...."

<Gabriel> "As soon as we get out of here... youre dead.... "

<Sanosuke> "You think you can do it?"

<Gabriel> "Or die trying..."

<Sanosuke> "I see. Then I'll regritibly have to kill you. Pitty, it will end all the fun I've had with you."

<Gabriel> "Youve already taken away everything from me... Im at least gonna try..."

<Sanosuke> "You really want to play this way Lina?"

<Gabriel> "What are my options...?"

<Sanosuke> "Die, have sex with me... or try and kill me which is the same as die...."

<Gabriel> "Why the hell do you want to knock me up so bad?"

<Sanosuke> "You'll like it... trust me... Gourry likes it... Zelgadis liked it.. just ask him."

<Gabriel> He siad it was very demeaning..."

<Sanosuke> "But he enjoyed it none the less."

<Gabriel> "If I meet those terms do you promise to let EVERYONE out of the book?"

<Sanosuke> "Everyone?" He smiled. "Sure."

<Gabriel> ~Whats the catch?"~

<Sanosuke> "Is this agreed apon Lina?"

<Gabriel> "Hmm... "

<Sanosuke> "WEll?"

<Gabriel> "Give me a break Xellos... I have to think this over..."

<Gabriel> "The only person losing out is me and zel.... "

<Sanosuke> "How so?"

<Gabriel> "I promised Zel if I summoned suzaku I'd fix him...."

<Sanosuke> "Well, considering the dragon would be summoned long before you got the chance...."

<Gabriel> "If thats so...."

<Sanosuke> "Yep." Xellos smiles.

<Gabriel> "I guess... I'll make the sacrifice for everyone elses's sake.... BUT..... you have to seal the book as well..."

<Sanosuke> "Will do." He grinned.

<Gabriel> "Fine... sorry Zel.." Lina sighs

<Sanosuke> "So, it is fully agreed?"

<Gabriel> "yes..."

<Gabriel> ~I hate myself.....~

<Sanosuke> "Good." In an eyeblink Lina was before him in her old room at the old inn. The book was in mid air and Xellos waved his hands, sealing it.

<Gabriel> "You better not be lying..."

<Sanosuke> To Zelgadis and the others, nothing happend..b ut Tamahome had seen Lina vanish.

<Sanosuke> "I'm not. Do not worry. We have a contract." Xellos smiled, and his clothing vanished... hers were already off.

<Gabriel> Lina blushes self conciously....

<Sanosuke> "Come here, don't be shy." he smiled friendly like.

<Gabriel> Lina frowns and goes to Xellos.... knowing she doesnt have a choice

<Sanosuke> "Dont look upset Lina..." Xellos sat on the bed and drew Lina toward him.

<Gabriel> "Youre not going to be overly rough.... are you?"

<Sanosuke> "Of course not." He gently slid her onto the bed and climbed over her, already hard.

<Gabriel> Lina closes her eyes and swallows

<Sanosuke> Xellos traced his finger down her breasts to her pussy, slidding it along inside the fold of skin.

<Gabriel> Lina gasps... her body trembling slightly

<Sanosuke> His finger traced each sensitive fold, slipping deaper and deaper in/

<Gabriel> ~gods... its torture....~

<Sanosuke> He smiled down at her, using his other hand to trace her breasts.

<Gabriel> Lina opens her eyes and looks at Xelloss

<Sanosuke> Xellos's finger found the most sensitiive spot and started to stroke it as he grinned down at her.

<Gabriel> Lina's mouth opens and a soft moan slips out

<Sanosuke> "Feels good, doesn't it?" He asked as if it was a causal conversation and not this.

<Gabriel> "y.... yes..."

<Sanosuke> Xellos smiled, stroking her breast some more, making sure she was good and wet before taking his finger out.

<Gabriel> Lina makes a whimpering moan... her body arching towards the touch unwillingly

<Sanosuke> She felt his hard cock come into contact with her wet opening.

<Gabriel> ~gods.. here it comes....~

<Sanosuke> Xellos kissed her softly before started to take her virginity away fully.

<Gabriel> Lina lets out a cry of pain as he does... as the one thing she's guarded for so long is taken away

<Sanosuke> "You don't have to tell yourself it hurts." Xellos said, once again in his tone of "nothing is going on here'. He burried himself deep into her warmth.,

<Gabriel> ~It was going to happen... someday anyway....~ Lina's mind tries to reassure herself

<Sanosuke> Xellos

<Sanosuke> 's warm breath was on her face as his hips started to rock her gently.

<Sanosuke> (maybe gourry walks in and sees this at some point?)

<Gabriel> (what do you think he would feel though?)

<Gabriel> Lina moans softly, her body reacting with the thrusts and responding by moving her hips along with his

<Sanosuke> (no idea... hmmm)

<Sanosuke> Xellos even kissed her every now and then as he continued his gentle thrusts.

<Gabriel> (you wanna play Gourry?)

<Sanosuke> (hmmm.... eh, never mind then... you're right.. I don't know how he'd react to it)

<Gabriel> (I think he might move to protect her.... but.... not sure)

<Sanosuke> (true... if protect he'd be fighting Xellos)

<Gabriel> (hmm...)

<Gabriel>

<Gabriel> Lina's arms wrap around Xellos.... her fingers digging into his back slightly

<Sanosuke> Xellos smiled and thrust a little harder... some fluids starting to leak into her already.

<Gabriel> "Ohh... ohhh.. " Lina half moans... and half whimpers

<Sanosuke> It was clear he was going to orgazm soon, as he continued his thrusts and light kisses.

<Gabriel> Lina's fingers dig a little deeper into Xello's back as her body prepares itself to accept his seed, her hips moving up to make Xellos' thrusts deeper

<Sanosuke> Xellos thrust as deep as he could before moving his head back and expelling all he had into her smaller body.

<Gabriel> Lina lets out a sharp cry... her body tensing.... then sinking into a limp and exhausted state

<Sanosuke> Xellos withdrew from her, stroking his hand through her hair. "So much better now."

<Gabriel> "It wasnt... too bad..." Lina admits

<Sanosuke> (she'd be able to feel the changes pretty fast as her body becomes unable to use magic while she's with child)

<Sanosuke> "Didn't I tell you?"

<Sanosuke> Xellos smiled and sat on the bed next to her.

<Gabriel> "yes..."

<Gabriel> (She'd probably only be able to do little cheap trick spells... like lighting and stuff)

<Sanosuke> "See? You should trust me to what I saw my friend."

<Sanosuke> (yep. like she could when it was that time of the month)

<Sanosuke> say, not saw

<Gabriel> Lina sighs softly

<Gabriel> "I guess as long as everyone is safe...."

<Sanosuke> Xellos stood up, his clothing on in a flash. "Yep. All you have to do is travel to find them again.. all but for gourry who's in the next room. Later." He vanished.

<Gabriel> Lina sighs and stares at the ceiling....

<Sanosuke> She was still naked, and felt different.

<Gabriel> "I should eat something... I dont feel quite right...."

<Sanosuke> There was traces of seamen on the bed between her legs as she sat up.

<Gabriel> "And get cleaned up...."

<Gabriel> "I guess I can have my bath now... that nobody's around to throw nunchaku at it..."

<Sanosuke> Just then Gourry walked in... and stood in place when he saw she was naked,

<Gabriel> Lina blinks and grabs a blanket from the bed.. "g... gourry...."

<Sanosuke> "Lina... where you been?" He asked.

<Gabriel> "You wouldnt understand if I told you..."

<Sanosuke> "Why you naked?"

<Gabriel> Lina cant look at gourry... embarassed by what she's seen him doing.... and the fact that she's naked

<Sanosuke> Gourry scratched his head. "Changing?"

<Gabriel> "Yeah... I was going to get a bath but I dont have any water... do you think you could..."

<Sanosuke> "Find water?"

<Gabriel> Lina nods

<Sanosuke> Gourry smiled. "Sure thing. I'll get it." He ran off.

<Gabriel> Lina sighs "I cant even look at him..."

<Sanosuke> He came back fast with the water tehn stood at the door.

<Gabriel> "pour it in the tub... " Lina prompts.... and stands... keeping the blanket around herself

<Sanosuke> He did as told and stood back at the door.

<Gabriel> "I guess you can stay if you want... " she says... and preps a fire spell to heat the water

<Sanosuke> Only to find her magic wouldn't work/

<Gabriel> Lina blinks... "c'mon... this inst funny...."

<Sanosuke> "That time of the month again?"Gourry asked innocently.,

<Sanosuke> (remeber how babies are made Lina *grin*)

<Gabriel> "Sort.... of" Lina says.... starting to put two and two together

<Gabriel> ~Cant freak out in front of Gourry....~

<Sanosuke> "Oh." Gourry still stood there.

<Gabriel> "I guess I'll have to take a cold bath.... good thing the weather is warm..."

<Sanosuke> "Alright then."

<Sanosuke> (send em away then scream! heh heh)

<Gabriel> "Gourry... why dont you go.... order us a meal..... " Lina says... her voice quavering slightly

<Sanosuke> "Alright. Be back in an hour or so then." He left.

<Gabriel> Lina clenches the side of the tub... her knuckles growing white.. "He knew.... that bastard... knew... I know he knew... " Lina mutters about Xellos

<Gabriel> "Nine months... no magic..." Lina says slowly..... then screams

<Gabriel> (Course gourry would think its cuz the water's cold)

<Sanosuke> Tjhe scream was heard all throughout the inn.

<Sanosuke> (heh heh)

<Sanosuke>

<Sanosuke>

<Gabriel> Lina finally calms down enough to wash herself... and get dressed

<Sanosuke> It also dawned on her that her tummy would grow out... her outfits would get too small for her to wear... and gourry would be even more confused then ever.

<Gabriel> "Im so .... so... screwed..."

<Sanosuke> Litterly too.... all cause of Xellos. And there was no sign of Zelgadis back... though Xellos did say she'd have to voage to see him again....

<Gabriel> "Ohh.... Im so stupid..." Lina wails... and collapses onto the bed to cry

<Sanosuke> the book was laying next to her....

<Sanosuke> (open it.. it's all blank now)

<Gabriel> Lina picks up the book.... and looks through it... "Blank?"

<Gabriel> Nakago is watching little val chew on the furniture... wondering what kind of strange child he is

<Sanosuke>

<Sanosuke> "Hello my friends." Came a familier voice.

<Gabriel> Val squeaks and hides.. knowing that voice all to well.... and Nakago turns to face Xelloss

<Sanosuke> He smiled. "All taken care of. You don't need to worry about Lina any more."

<Gabriel> "Ahh... wonderful.... now I wish I hadnt sent tamahome away...."

<Sanosuke> "I'll bring him back.. she had tied him up..." Xellos waved his hand and the tied up Tamahome appeard on the bed.

<Gabriel> "Tamahome... !"

<Sanosuke> Tamahome blinks. "Nakago! She tied me up and vanished into thin air..... and.. um... how'd I get back here so fast?"

<Gabriel> "Xelloss brought you back.... "

<Sanosuke> "Oh, good... can I be untied now?"

<Gabriel> "Hmm.... I think not..." Nakago says.... grinning evilly

<Sanosuke> Tamahome smiled. "Well, can we at least be alone then?"

<Gabriel> "I'll have to get the little monster child out from under the bed... unless Xelloss wants to take him

<Sanosuke> Xellos gave Nakago a look. "I'm not touching the dragon...." And he vanished.

<Gabriel> Nakago fishes around under the bed and drags out a screaming Val a few moments later

<Gabriel> "Where is your mother....?

<Sanosuke> Fillia, hearing the scream, ran in, her eyes glowing as she growled.

<Gabriel> "Take this away..." Nakago says.... holding Val up by his leg ....

<Sanosuke> Fillia bundled Val into her arms, hit Nakago with her tail, and left.

<Gabriel> "oww.. I never will understand women..." Nakago says.... and sets to work on Tamahome

<Sanosuke> Tamahome still had his clothing on as he smiled at his lover.

<Gabriel> "Now... Im just going to have to cut your shirt off... since I cant get it off any other way..."

<Sanosuke> "Oh, alright...." Tamahome smiled, looking up at Nakago.

<Gabriel> "We have to move out towards Kutou tomorrow... time to take over"

<Sanosuke> "Can we have some fun first?"

<Sanosuke> "Can we at least have some fun first?"

<Gabriel> Nakago calmly cuts Tamahome's shirt off.... humming under his breath

<Sanosuke> Tamahome wiggled in his bonds, wanting to strip off Nakago's clothing.

<Gabriel> "Patience dear Tamahome...."

<Sanosuke> "I'm not very patient my dear."

<Gabriel> "Ahh... but you must be.... " Nakago says and kisses his nose.... removing the rest of Tamahome's clothes

<Sanosuke> Tamahome lay on his back, showing off his nude form to Nakago. "Mmm.. but it's hard to wait to get you uncovered my love."

<Gabriel> "think you can do it without your hands?"

<Sanosuke> "I can use my teeth." Tamahome sat up and leaned over to Nakago's belt buckle.

<Gabriel> "I wonder why that Xelloss was so upset about the little dragon boy?"

<Sanosuke> "Mmm?" Tamahome had the buckle between his teeth, trying to drag it off.

<Gabriel> "I offered the boy to him... and he just disappeared.... he must fear that Filia woman ..."

<Sanosuke> Tamahome got the belt off. "Maybe he was thinking you meant sex stuff?"

<Gabriel> "Mm... perhaps.... "

<Gabriel> (Lina I think is only like 17-18)

<Sanosuke> (I would think by now she's 19... cause in tape 4 they said she was 15 or 16)

<Sanosuke> Tamahome started to work on opening Nakago's pants.

<Gabriel> (Yeah... but I dunno... the events throughout the tapes take place within a few months of each other)

<Gabriel> "You want some help?

<Gabriel> (at least thats the way they make it seem....)

<Sanosuke> (true... but by Try she should be a few years older... maybe 18 would be good)

<Sanosuke> Tamahome nodded, wanting to taste Nakago in his mouth.

<Gabriel> (Okay.. just wanted to give her an age.... )

<Gabriel> nakago smirks and removes his clothes for Tamahome

<Sanosuke> Tamahome hungerly takes Nakago in his mouth for the purposes of making him hard and slick.

<Gabriel> Nakago leans back slightly and moans deeply

<Sanosuke> Tamahome was on his knees for this, his hands still tied behind his back as he suckled and nibbled Nakago's cock./

<Gabriel> Nakago Ruffles Tamahome's hair with a free hand as he suckles him....

<Sanosuke> Tamahome pulled away once Nakago was rock hard and licked his lips, leaning back as he wanted Nakago inside of him and be able to kiss his love.

<Gabriel> Nakago moves over and gives Tamahome a nibbling kiss as he pushes in

<Sanosuke> Tamahome gasped, grunted, and moaned all in the same breath as he was penitrated.

<Gabriel> "mm... Tamahome.... I missed you..."

<Sanosuke> "I missed.. you too... mmmm.... so good." Tamahome pushed back, wanting all of him.

<Gabriel> (I wanna do a quick lina an gourry scene.... to see if we cant get em together.... later)

<Sanosuke> (ok)

<Gabriel> Nakago thrusts smooth and deep into Tamahome.... nearly purring at the pleasure

<Sanosuke> "Ohhhh!!" Tamahome moaned, wishing he could wrap his arms around Nakago, but instead having to suffer the pleasure as he rocked himself against the deep thrusts.

<Gabriel> Nakago begins to pick up his speed, still thrusting in fully with each push

<Sanosuke> Tamahome panted hard, his moans filling the air.

<Gabriel> "Ohh.. tamahome!! go moans loudly... crying out his name in ecstacy

<Sanosuke> The sounds of 'Nakago' also echoed throught the room...

<Sanosuke> (switch to gourry and Lina now?)

<Gabriel> (yeah)

<Sanosuke> Gourry knocked on Lina's door, wondering why she hadn't spoken to him in a few days since she had returned.

<Gabriel> Lina is curled up in a miserable ball on her bed...

<Sanosuke> Gourry walked into the room, wondering if she was ok, and carrying food with him.

<Gabriel> Lina uncurls and looks at Gourry

<Sanosuke> He smiled happily. "Morning Lina, Brought you some breakfast."

<Gabriel> "Thanks...." Lina says softly

<Sanosuke> Gourry set the tray down before her. "Not feeling well?"

<Gabriel> "I guess you could say that...."

<Sanosuke> "What's wrong?" He lay down on her bed.

<Gabriel> "I need to talk to you... listen and please... please.... please... try to understand..."

<Sanosuke>

<Sanosuke> "Alright."

<Gabriel> "Well first off... I want to ask you a question....."

<Sanosuke> (heh heh... just relized something... baby = bigger breasts from milk!)

<Gabriel> (yeh.... ^_^)

<Sanosuke> (Lina will get what she always wanted heh heh.. Xellos will point that out too)

<Sanosuke> "Ok."

<Gabriel> "Alright... Gourry.... how do you feel about me?"

<Sanosuke> "What do you mean?" He blinked with that cute braindead expression on his face.

<Gabriel> "I mean... do you like me?"

<Sanosuke> "Of course I like you." He smiled.

<Gabriel> Lina tries to think of a way to word this better

<Sanosuke> Gourry propt up on his elbo to look at her.

<Gabriel> "Okay... how much do you like me?

<Sanosuke> "How much?" He scratched his head. "As much as I can?"

<Gabriel> "Look... Gourry... let me just come out... okay... I have this thing for you.... I think Im in Love...."

<Sanosuke> "Love?" He started to blink, "You mean... love love? The thing that brings men and woman together for life?"

<Gabriel> "Yeah... that...."

<Gabriel> "I know.. you probably arent into that.."

<Sanosuke> "Ohhhh." Gourry blinked. "What do you mean?"

<Gabriel> "Im into you... but... do you like what Xelloss did to you?"

<Sanosuke> "Felt good but I didn't understand it. Oh, I'm into you too Lina."

<Gabriel> Lina wonders if Gourry understands at all...

<Sanosuke> Gourry patted her head.

<Gabriel> "Alright... next.... Im going to need a LOT of protection for the next few months... no powers... "

<Sanosuke> "I thought it only lasted a few days?"

<Gabriel> "This is something different...."

<Sanosuke>

<Sanosuke> [

<Sanosuke>

<Sanosuke> "What is it?"

<Gabriel> Lina pokes her fingers together a little embarassed

<Gabriel> "Well... you know how Xelloss did stuff to you...?"

<Sanosuke> It was a wonder if Gourry would understand. "Yes, I know. "

<Sanosuke> "Yah, I know."

<Gabriel> "Well.... he did things to me too.... and..... well....."

<Sanosuke> "What? Did he hurt you?"

<Gabriel> "No.. no... not at all Gourry.... he ... just... well gave me something extra..."

<Gabriel> "You.... do know where babies come from..... ...... right?"

<Sanosuke> "What do you mean?" Gourry scratched his head. "Oh yes, I heard they came from woman's bellies."

<Gabriel> "Good... well.... Xelloss gave me one..." Lina says awkwardly.....

<Sanosuke> "Huh? Where is it then?"

<Gabriel> Lina takes Gourry's hand and puts it on her abdomen

<Sanosuke> "Why's it in there?" Gourry looked very confused.

<Gabriel> "Because it has to get big enough to come out....:

<Sanosuke> "Ohhh." Gourry nodded. "Ok then. Is that why you can't use your powers?"

<Gabriel> "yes.... its disrupting my aura just enough to ... nevermind...."

<Sanosuke> "Ok then. I'll keep you safe." He smiled and sat up.

<Sanosuke> (we need to switch to Tasuki and Zelgadis soon)

<Gabriel> (kei...)

<Gabriel> "Thank you..." Lina says and leans against Gourry....

<Gabriel> (Kei... Lina's all happy.... sorta)

<Sanosuke> Gourry put an arm around her.

<Sanosuke> (cool. she will not be when she finds out its twins.. heh heh)

<Gabriel> (yeah.. heh heh)

<Sanosuke> (but even Xellos will not be able to control them! heh heh)

<Gabriel> (super monster brats.... oh dear... I think Gourry'll be a good dad.... though)

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis sat down with his coffee and sipped it. "What shall we do now?"

<Gabriel> (or replacement caretaker.... whatever)

<Gabriel> "Dont know..."

<Sanosuke> (yah... but was thinking they get so powerful they need to be exiled... with the help of two gods *grins* unless it's really a no way thing... you know FY much better then me)

<Gabriel> (Seiryu and Suzaku wouldnt work together.... they hate each other)

<Sanosuke> Zel sighed. "Lina's gone.. no idea if she was taken out of the book or killed... she's gone..."

<Sanosuke> (even to get rid of something more powerful?)

<Gabriel> (One of those gods was able to seal the other....)

<Sanosuke> (ok)

<Gabriel> "You upset about that I guess?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes. Lina is my friend." He sighed, "But my goal is still to become human.... I will do anything for that."

<Sanosuke> (human again^)

<Gabriel> "You saw her room... scorch marks.... looks like they got her..." Tasuki sighs

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis closed his eyes and nodded saddly. "Yes.... then we must strike back at them one day... but first we will need troops or a way..."

<Sanosuke> (Stealing their stuff! heh heh! Bandits!)

<Gabriel> "I got lotsa guys..."

<Sanosuke> "You do?" Zelgadis looked to him.

<Gabriel> "Yeah... Im leader of a gang... of bandits .... remember?"

<Sanosuke> "True...." Zel sighed. "Lina, was a bandit killer... and by banding with her I become one too."

<Gabriel> "She's gone though...."

<Sanosuke> He nodded slowly. "Yes... and i will do anything for vengance and the chance... to be human.. once more."

<Gabriel> "Well.... one of your friends was thrown in as Seiryu's miko... why dont you ask her ta make you human?

<Gabriel> "We gotta take those two dead people back to Konan anyway.... right?"

<Sanosuke> "Huh? It's probably Amelia and there is no way I'll let her summon Seiryu... she'll wish for me to... like her.... rather then you."

<Gabriel> "well why dont we go and find out who it is?"

<Sanosuke> He nodded. "How true." He stood up. "Why don't we collect the other two and return to your men?"

<Gabriel> "Yeah.... they're prolly wonderin where I am an stuff"

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis nodded and went over to Nuriko and Hotohori's room.

<Gabriel> Tasuki follows "You think they're still at it?"

<Sanosuke> "Might be..." Zelgadis pushed open the door. The two were asleep for once... Nuriko drapped over Hotohori, his long purple hair mostly covering up their bodies.

<Gabriel> (Lina has magic amplification talismen that Xelloss gave her that might let her cast a fireball... ^_^ )

<Gabriel> "Aint that cute?"

<Gabriel> (She got them second series_

<Sanosuke> (hmmm. cool)

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis nodded. "Very. pitty we have to wake them up."

<Gabriel> (Cuz some Mazoku sealed her powers..... for a tiem)

<Gabriel> "Yeah... well.... lets do it...."

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis went over to the bed and tapped Hotohori on the arm.

<Gabriel> Hotohori mumbles and scrunches up closer to nuriko

<Sanosuke> Zel poked him again. "WE need to get going."

<Gabriel> "Leave me alone..." hotohori mumbles

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis looked to Tasuki. "Can I borrow a card?"

<Gabriel> Tasuki hands himo ne

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis wrote water on it and dropped it on Hotohori.

<Gabriel> Hotohori sits up.... sputtering

<Sanosuke> Nuriko fell over and aghed.

<Gabriel> "You recked my hair..." Hotohori growls

<Sanosuke> "It's time to get up." Zelgadis told him.

<Gabriel> "get me some dry clothes then...."

<Sanosuke> Nuriko fell off the bed and looked startled... and was naked.

<Gabriel> 'Get Nuriko some too... "

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis walked to the door. "I'm not your maid.

<Sanosuke> "

<Gabriel> Hotohori fumes

<Gabriel> "Watch your tongue... I am the emperor of Konan...."

<Sanosuke> Nuriko shrieked and told Zelgadis and Tasuki to get out, since his naked body was for Hotohori's eyes only.

<Gabriel> Hotohori picks up his robe and wraps it around Nuriko's shoulders... comforting him

<Sanosuke> Nuriko was getting mad, his fists balling as his face turned red from the site of the other two in the room.

<Gabriel> "Shh... Nuriko.... "

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis pulled Tasuki out with him and shut the door, not wanting to envoke Nuriko's rage.

<Gabriel> Hotohori puts his arms around Nuriko.. and sighs

<Sanosuke> Nuriko snuggled back against him. "We really have to leave?"

<Gabriel> "Yes... we should stick with them..."

<Sanosuke> "Alright... but if they try to peep at me again I'm gonna pound em both." Nuriko stood, his long hair bouncing against his nude form.

<Gabriel> "I dont think they were peeping love...."

<Sanosuke> "Yeah well...." Nuriko sighed and pulled on his clothing, handing Hotohori his own.

<Gabriel> Hothori dresses

<Sanosuke> Nuriko stretched. "I'm ready."

<Gabriel> "I hope we dont have to... fly again"

<Sanosuke> "Fly?"

<Gabriel> "Remember that read headed girl stuffed us in that bubble?"

<Sanosuke> "Oh, right." Nuriko shivered.

<Sanosuke> "You two ready yet?" Zelgadis called.

<Gabriel> "Well... eltlets go...."

<Sanosuke> (skip to 6th months later when Lina finnaly finds them?)

<Gabriel> "Coming... coming...."

<Gabriel> (Yeah.... )

<Sanosuke> 6th months later.

<Sanosuke> Traveling wasn't very fun for Lina any more as he belly was rather large at this point. Gourry was with her at ever step of the way and had commented how she finnaly had breasts. No sign of Xellos in all that time though

<Sanosuke> it was as if he vanished for good.

<Gabriel> "Gourry... we're getting a horse...."

<Sanosuke> "I don't know where to find one." He said.

<Sanosuke> (bandits attack! heh heh)

<Gabriel> "We'll buy one at the next town... even if its a nag.... "

<Sanosuke> "What if it can't carry you?"

<Gabriel> "we'll get a nag that can.... Im not that big"

<Sanosuke> Gourry smiled and tossled her hair like old times. He didn't even hear the arrow wize by.

<Gabriel> "Did you hear something?"

<Sanosuke> "Um?" Suddenly they were surrounded.

<Gabriel> "Great... just what we need...."

<Sanosuke> "Hand over your money!" Came the voices.

<Gabriel> "We kind of need what we have....." Lina shouts back

<Sanosuke> "Hand it over!"

<Sanosuke> Gourry drew his sword with glee, ready to fight.

<Gabriel> "Gourry... theres too many....." Lina says and takes the pouch off of her belt... tossing it down

<Sanosuke> "Lina?" Came a voice from the other side that she tossed it, "Is that really you or am I seeing things?" The voice was very familier.

<Gabriel> "Great... youre not out for vengeance or something are you?" Lina says.... hoping that its not some bandit whose brother she killed.....

<Sanosuke> "You're alive! And... oh my... you have breasts? And.. a belly?" The voice was almost behind her.

<Gabriel> "Not by choice.... really..." Lina says.. slowly turning around

<Sanosuke> "You know her sir?" One of the bandits asked, picking up the pouch.

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis was standing behind her.

<Gabriel> "Zel?"

<Sanosuke> "Lina!" He hugged her, but being careful, "I thought you were dead! I was going to kill those bastards."

<Gabriel> "No... I did something dumb.... " Lina says with a sigh.. "Lost you your chance of getting back to normal"

<Sanosuke> He then took the pouch from the bandit's hand and gave it back to Lina. "Return to base, tell Tasuki we have guests coming."

<Sanosuke> (she might wonder why he's.. um.... controlling these bandits? heh heh)

<Gabriel> "Gee Zel... I might have to kill you..... when I get my powers back.... huh?" Lina says jokingly

<Sanosuke> "It;s not my choice... I've been running Tasuki's gang with him since we got back to this country."

<Sanosuke>

<Gabriel> "Xellos.... brought the entire book... out of the book..... didnt he?"

<Sanosuke> "What?" Zelgadis blinked. then he nodded. "That would explain the more people coming through."

<Gabriel> "Well... I guess it cant be helped.... its here to stay.... has... umm.... Xellos bothered you lately?"

<Sanosuke> "Havn't seen him... Lina... just what did happen?" He started to walk to the hideout with her.

<Gabriel> "I gave in... after Tamahome tried to kill me....

<Sanosuke> "You mean,, that's?"

<Gabriel> Lina nods.... and looks at the ground

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis gritted his teeth. "Ouch."

<Gabriel> "Tell me about it... Im going to be lucky if I survive childbirth...."

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis helped her along to the hideout, sitting her down at a table. "We'll get you fed."

<Gabriel> "thanks....' Lina says with a smile

<Sanosuke> Gourry sat down next to her. "Ah, food would be good. But in the company of bandits? They are scum."

<Gabriel> "Gourry... be nice now..."

<Sanosuke> "But.... They're bandits."

<Gabriel> "Theres good and bad in all walks of life.... and right now we cant be picky...."

<Sanosuke> "Oh... alright." Gourry set his set his blade down.

<Gabriel> Lina pats his hand

<Sanosuke> They bandits brought food to set the table... intending it for all of them.

<Gabriel> Lina practically pounces on the food ....

<Sanosuke> Gourry pounced as well, as the bandits all gasped.

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis was just walking in with Tasuki.

<Gabriel> "Geez.... Zel look at em eat....." Tasuki remarks

<Sanosuke> "Yes.,. and Lina's pregnant... she used to eat like this before..."

<Gabriel> "Ouch.... the blonde guy she's with knock her up?"

<Sanosuke> "No.... Xellos did...."

<Gabriel> "Double ouch.... "

<Sanosuke> "Yes.... and a sorceress can't cast spells while she's pregnant..."

<Gabriel> (Im sure she's been chased around by all sorts of guys who heard about her bein powerless.... she's got lots of enemies)

<Sanosuke> (yah. Gourry took care of em)

<Gabriel> "Thats gotta suck... for her... from what I saw she relied pretty heavily on those spells...."

<Gabriel> (Did you log onto Battlenet?)

<Sanosuke> "A sorceress does..." Zelgadis sat down.

<Sanosuke> (no.. why?)

<Gabriel> (John's bot is bein freaky... he said it just said you logged on.... gave him your stats)

<Sanosuke> (odd.... )

<Gabriel> Tasuki sits down beside him and watches the two eat "You think they hadnt eaten in a while...."

<Sanosuke> "It was worse the time we were lost at sea and they hadn't eaten in a while...."

<Gabriel> "You sound like you had lots of fun adventures with those guys.."

<Sanosuke> "I did..." Zelgadis smiled some. "I still remember the first time I met them...."

<Gabriel> "Hmm... well I dont know how long this place can support those two if they're gonna eat like that....."

<Sanosuke> "We'll have to make our move soon then..."

<Gabriel> "yeah..."

<Sanosuke> (ever notice how the spell nams are all in english?)

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis drank his coffee and watched the twoi nearly eat through the table.

<Gabriel> (Yeah... not sure why that is)

<Gabriel> (Probably cuz english sounds exotic to Japanese)

<Sanosuke> (heh heh. yah)

<Gabriel> Lina finally finishes eating and leans back

<Sanosuke> Gourry pats his belly and doesn't notice the bight marks in the table.

<Gabriel> Lina sighs and pats her abdomen "Please dont make me throw up...."

<Sanosuke> "Where is Hotohori?" Zelgadis asked, looking around.

<Gabriel> "Probably still sitting in front of his mirror..." Tasuki says

<Sanosuke> "True..."

<Sanosuke> Just then, Nuriko wearing a dress, stepped forth from the area he and Hotohori occupied.

<Gabriel> "Well theres Nuriko...."

<Sanosuke> Nuriko smiled. "Lina! I heard you were alive. Hello!"

<Gabriel> "Hey Nuriko.... I see youre as.... gay as ever... " Lina says...

<Gabriel> (sorry... had to throw that in there)

<Sanosuke> (heh hhe)

<Sanosuke> Nuriko giggled and ran over to her. "Can I be midwife?? I heard you were pregenant!"

<Gabriel> "Um... I guess...."

<Sanosuke> Nuriko smiled. "Yah!" He sat down next to Lina. "So, what's been happining?"

<Gabriel> "Gourry and I have been traveling..... trying to find Zel actually...."

<Gabriel> "Plus.... running away from those whove heard Im not up to snuff...."

<Sanosuke> "Pregnancy got you down?"

<Gabriel> "Cant use my powers.... so yeah..."

<Sanosuke> "Oh. ok. If you need anything just send for me."

<Gabriel> "Thanks Nuriko" Lina beams

<Sanosuke> Nuriko smiled and nodded.

<Sanosuke> (Hotohori come in please)

<Gabriel> Hotohori comes out of the room.... and scans the area... before heading straight for Nuriko

<Sanosuke> Nuriko jumps up and throws himself around Hotohori. "Lina's back! And she's with child."

<Gabriel> "Thats good to hear.... I thought her dead.."

<Sanosuke> Nuriko kissed him softly. "Well, we were dead for a while and came back."

<Gabriel> "How very true... " Hotohori says... a slight purr in his voice

<Gabriel> "So Zelgadis... is this an omen to make our move?"

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis nodded as he stood. "Yes.. we can get the old kingdom back and try to split it off from it's controller."

<Gabriel> Lina blinks "You guys are going to war?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes Lina... we are."

<Gabriel> "Against Nakago?....?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes.... He took over his old country too..."

<Gabriel> "Thats almost a suicide mission...."

<Sanosuke> "But we have to try.... he hasn't summond the dragon yet... but he will one day....":

<Gabriel> Lina frowns and nods

<Gabriel> "Who knows what he'd wish for... hopefully not to be a god... like in the original story....:

<Sanosuke> "He's still got the priestess.... So who knows."

<Gabriel> Hothori puts his arms around Nuriko.... "For my kingdom... its a chance we will have to take...."

<Sanosuke> Nuriko nods and smiles. "I'll toss huge boulders at them! heh heh."

<Gabriel> "I wish I could help..."

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis nodded. "I know.... we could wait another few months till.... till you can cast spells again."

<Gabriel> "thats a choice I'll leave up to you guys...."

<Sanosuke> "Wiuld you help us?"

<Sanosuke> ((*smiles at Zel's entrance on tv*)

<Gabriel> "Of course.... you guys are like family... and Zel and I have been through a lot together"

<Sanosuke>

<Sanosuke> "Hotohori... will you be willing to wait?"

<Gabriel> Hotohori frowns

<Gabriel> "i suppose.... if it will give us an edge"

<Gabriel> (Dont you have to leave?)

<Sanosuke> (in a few *giggles at bug-eyed Zel)

<Sanosuke> "She is the most powerful sorceress I know...."

<Gabriel> "I will be a little out of practice.... but it should come back pretty quickly...."

<Gabriel> Hotohori looks at Nuriko... "how about you.... do you mind waiting?"

<Sanosuke> (funny... Lina said she;d rathjer die then join with Zel./.. heh heh../. he sort of joins her .. heh heh

<Sanosuke> Nuriko nodded. "We will be better the longer we plan."

<Gabriel> "Alright then.... we will delay our attack until Miss Lina is ready..... or has it become Mrs?"

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis looked at them, wondering same thing.

<Sanosuke> Gourry just blinked dumbly.

<Gabriel> "No... I dont know how he feels about it.... its too hard to ask him questions like that..." Lina says... patting Gourry

<Sanosuke> Gourry fell asleep at the table after the meal, snoring some.

<Gabriel> Lina sighs and smirks at Gourry

<Sanosuke> Nuriko giggled. "You like that big lug?"

<Gabriel> "Yeah... he's dumb.... but so loyal..."

<Sanosuke> "You sound like you love him."

<Sanosuke>

<Gabriel> Lina nods "I dont think he gets it though..."

<Sanosuke> "Aww... poor dear. It took me a while to get Hotohori to understand."

<Gabriel> "Well he does have a brain.... albeit a vain one.... Gourry's different...."

<Gabriel> Hotohori gives Lina a look for a moment....

<Sanosuke> Nuriko giggled at that. "But he'd die to protect thouse he loved..." He kissed Hotohori.

<Gabriel> "Ive already died once Nuriko... dont ask me to again....."

<Sanosuke> "I'm not asking you too." Nuriko stuck his tongue out.

<Gabriel> Hotohori grabs for the tongue

<Sanosuke> Nuriko pulled it back and grinned more.

<Gabriel> "I cant wait to get back to the palace... Im going to have to learn to rule better...."

<Sanosuke> "With me at your side?" Nuriko asked.

<Gabriel> "Of course...:

<Sanosuke> "They'll want you to marry a woman you know...."

<Gabriel> "They wont have to know you arent a woman..."

<Sanosuke> "True... but I can't have children."

<Gabriel> "we will adopt one... one other thing they need not know of..."

<Sanosuke> Nuriko smiled. "Alright."

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis sat back down next to Tasuki.

<Gabriel> Tasuki leans on him... and yawns

<Sanosuke> Gourry snored.

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis put his arm around the bandit.

<Gabriel> "Looks like our guests are happy... " Tasuki comments and gets comfortable.... now used to the rock hard body of Zelgadis

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis smiled and stroked Tasuki's hair.

<Gabriel> "Well at least we have a few months to get better prepared...."

<Sanosuke> "Yeah. We will have to figure out our tacktics.

<Gabriel> "Nakago is the big problem...."

<Sanosuke> "And Tamahome.... They are both dangerous."

<Gabriel> Tasuki nods "I think I could take on Tamahome with my tessen...."

<Sanosuke> "And me at your side."

<Sanosuke> A small twing of pain took Lina from her doze.

<Gabriel> "we better step up on getting better weapons....."

<Gabriel> Lina puts her hand on her side "quit it .... " She hisses at her abdomen

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis nodded. "Yes... and we always have my magic.... maybe we should find others who can cast spells and be useful to us?"

<Sanosuke> Another twing... and it hurt somewhat worse...

<Gabriel> "Well you seem to know all of the spellslingers.... "

<Gabriel> "Dont make me drown you in booze...." Lina threatens

<Sanosuke> "I mean around here...."

<Sanosuke> Nuriko looked over at Lina. "You ok girl?"

<Gabriel> "No problems.... kid's making a pain of itself already...."

<Sanosuke> The pain was getting worse.

<Gabriel> "Actually... I think I'd better lay down..."

<Gabriel>

<Sanosuke> Nuriko lt go of Hotohori and walked over to Lina. "I'll help you.":

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis stood up. "Lina?"

<Gabriel> "Im fine... just probably ate too much..."

<Sanosuke> The pain kept getting worse, and in waves....

<Sanosuke> Gourry slept on, oblivous.

<Gabriel> Lina grits her teeth....

<Sanosuke> "Lina... you... going to be ok?" Nuriko asked, placing his hand on her belly. "Oh wow."

<Gabriel> Lina crosses her eyes "I need get to a bed now... while I can still move...."

<Sanosuke> "I think.. this baby is coming now." Nuriko told her.

<Gabriel> "Its too soon..."

<Gabriel> Lina shakes her head.... trying to deny the fact

<Sanosuke> "I can feel it in you girl... I... who's the father again?"

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis placed a hand on her shoulder. "A half Mazuko child might be ready to come after only 6 months..."

<Gabriel> "Oh geez... just what I need..." Lina mutters

<Sanosuke> "Lay down." Nuriko instrucked.

<Sanosuke> "Want me to wake Gourry?" Zelgadis asked.

<Gabriel> "Please... wake him and try to explain...."

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis nodded as Nuriko fetched some hot water.

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis poked Gourry, trying to wake him.

<Sanosuke> the pain of the contractions grew worse and Nuriko worked on taking Lina's pants down.

<Gabriel> "Ack!!"

<Sanosuke> (who's yelling:?)

<Gabriel> (Lina... she doesnt like that...)

<Sanosuke> "Calm down..." Nuriko told her, getting the pants and underwear off.

<Gabriel> "D.. does everyone have to watch!?!?!"

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis gave up poking gourry and went back into theother room with Lina.

<Sanosuke> "No one but me and Zelgadis are here with you." Nuriko told her as the contractions grew worse.

<Gabriel> "Oww... Im gonna kill... him..... as soon as I find him...."

<Gabriel> (She's going to just rant through the whole thing.... )

<Sanosuke> (ok)

<Sanosuke> "Xellos?" Zelgadis asked, taking her hands to help her.

<Sanosuke> Nuriko spread out her legs and shouted "PUSH!"

<Gabriel> "yes.... he knew.... "

<Gabriel> "What do you think Im trying to do?!?!?"

<Sanosuke> "Push harder then! Ohh.. I wish I was a woman... oh wait... if I was hotohori wouldn't like me..." Nuriko hummed.

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis held her hands tighter, trying to sooth his friend.

<Gabriel> Lina's voice grows low.... and dangerous sounding... like when she gets REALLY mad "Xellos did this on purpose.... he's soo.... soo dead....."

<Sanosuke> She didn;t know how right she was as Nuriko said he saw the baby.

<Sanosuke> (jump slightly to where Xellos is.. his master finding out what has happend?)

<Gabriel> (I dont think Beastmaster would realize just yet.... not until they started causing problems)

<Sanosuke> (ok.. then after they vanish and go to have fun with Fillia.. heh hh)

<Sanosuke> "I see it! Push Lina, you're almost done!"

<Gabriel> (Dont make them vanish right away.... give them a chance to orient...)

<Gabriel> "I am... " Lina growls

<Sanosuke> (I will)

<Sanosuke> Nuriko helped the baby out. "It's... a boy!!"

<Sanosuke> The pain of contractions didn't stop there...

<Gabriel> "If its out... then why the hell.....?"

<Sanosuke> "Oh my.... TWINS! At least!"

<Gabriel> "Twiins?!??"

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis sweetdropped and took the boy from Nuriko so Nuriko could help with the next one.

<Gabriel> "Oh... please..... dont let there be more than two...."

<Sanosuke> Nuriko got out the second and the pain end. "A GIRL!"

<Gabriel> "Matching pair... how cute...." Lina mumbles.... seemingly zoned out

<Sanosuke> Nuriko took them both, cut the cords, and started to bath em.,

<Sanosuke> (you want to play the boy?

<Gabriel> (rrr.r.. Im still not to happy about you fast aging them....)

<Sanosuke> (ok ok.. they can stay babies then)

<Gabriel> (They can still be evil as babies...)

<Sanosuke> (not evil, just little misbehavers)

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis stroked Lina's hands, not watching Nuriko or the twins. "You ok Lina?"

<Gabriel> (yeah I know... same difference when it comes to children ^_^ )

<Sanosuke> (heh)

<Gabriel> "yeah.... " Lina says spacily... sounding exhausted as well

<Sanosuke> "AHH!!" nuriko yellped.

<Gabriel> Lina wakes up a little...."Dont tell me they have extra limbs?"

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis looked up and gasped. "Nuriko???"

<Sanosuke> Nuriko was tied up and figiting.

<Gabriel> "Whats... going on?"

<Sanosuke> "They.. tied me... up.. and.. vanished..." Nuriko said, not beliving it.

<Gabriel> "Who they?"

<Sanosuke> "Your... kids...."

<Gabriel> "M.... my kids?" Lina tries to sit up

<Sanosuke> "Yes..." He shook.

<Sanosuke> (now to Val and Fillia... the kids appear around Val! heh heh)

<Gabriel> (Xellos has to show up and try to claim them... I think he might try to present them to Beastmaster to save his butt..."

<Sanosuke> (true... unless beastmaster locks him up as soon as she gets word about them.. then goes after Lina... to kill them both together... which will cause Zelgadis to find a new priestess so they can bring them back)

<Sanosuke> Fillia had opened another place for her and Val away froim the 'crazy' Nakago but not too far away.

<Gabriel> (Yah.... but he would want to bring xelloss back?)

<Sanosuke> (true... but we'll see)

<Sanosuke> It wasn't too far from the Bandit hang out either...

<Gabriel> (I think they just get stuck into a dimension together)

<Sanosuke> (ok)

<Gabriel> (And have to deal with each other.... hee hee)

<Gabriel> Val is playing in the flowers... as usual

<Sanosuke> Two, little things, babies? Appear next to him, giggling.

<Sanosuke> (you play boy?)

<Gabriel> (yes ... sure)

<Sanosuke> (ok)

<Gabriel> Val blinks

<Sanosuke> The girl baby giggled and picked up the flowers, playing with them.

<Gabriel> The boy pokes at Val.... trying to figure out what he is

<Gabriel>

<Sanosuke> The girl puts flowers on Val and giggles some more.

<Gabriel> "Mommy.....?"

<Sanosuke> Fillia came out, saw the babies, and screamed so loud that it reached the bandits.

<Sanosuke> The girl blinked and pulled up some more flowers.

<Sanosuke> One bandit who was standing gaurd ran in and told Tasuki about the scream he had heard.

<Gabriel> "Hmm... suppose we should check it out?"

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis helpped Lina up and with her clothing. "Did you hear that?"

<Gabriel> "Yeah... you think it was them?"

<Sanosuke> Fillia took out her huge mace and raised it as she ran at the two babies.

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis nodded. "Fillia lives down the hill..."

<Gabriel> "havent seen her in a while..."

<Sanosuke> "She's the... Priestess of the dragon.,..." Zelgadis helpped her walk.

<Gabriel> "seriously?"

<Sanosuke> Fillia chaced the twins with her mace, screaming "MAZUKO! MAZUKO!!!!!!"

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis nodded, and winced as he heard the yelling.

<Gabriel> (Mazoku)

<Sanosuke> (sorry *fixes spelling*)

<Sanosuke> The girl ran around Val.

<Gabriel> val is cowering in the flower bed... not quite sure what to make of this

<Sanosuke> Fillia continued to chace them, swining her mace.

<Sanosuke> As soon as Lina came in to sight the twins shot to her to cling to her legs.

<Gabriel> Lina nearly falls over at this...

<Gabriel> I would have abnormal children...."

<Sanosuke> Fillia ran up to her, rasiing her mace high. "Watch out Lina!"

<Sanosuke> The girl clung to Lina's leg, crying.

<Gabriel> "Filia... stop!"

<Sanosuke> "Mazoku must die!" The dragon yelled, her tail going up.

<Gabriel> "They arent Mazoku...."

<Sanosuke> "YES THEY ARE!!!"

<Gabriel> "Filia touch them and we'll find out how well a dragonslave works on a Gold dragon... got it?"

<Sanosuke> "What? Don't tell me you';ve gone soft on Mazoku...."

<Gabriel> Lina works on prying the babies off of her leg "No.... but I cant let you hurt my children...."

<Sanosuke> "Your... children?" Filia's face took on a strange color and fell over, twitching.

<Gabriel> Lina sighs

<Sanosuke> (time for Xellos to get.. yelled at... and... put in a little prison to wait for Lina to join him.. so they can be exiled)

<Sanosuke> Xellos was drinking tea at the time.

<Gabriel> Several wolves bound in to where Xellos is.... and circle him

<Gabriel> (Xelas has a thing for wolves)

<Sanosuke> Xelllos blinked and set down his tea.

<Gabriel> "Xellos.... I thought told you to get rid of Lina Inverse....."

<Sanosuke> "I made her unable to stop you." He said in his nothing is wrong voice as he stood up,

<Gabriel> "I wanted her gotten rid of... and furthermore.... now there are two more powers that we will have to deal with....."

<Sanosuke> "Really? She survived twins?"

<Gabriel> "Yes..... now.... for your punishment.... you get to spend eternity with her...."

<Sanosuke> "Eh?" Xellos blinked again.

<Sanosuke> (worse then killing him... exiled into 'nonexistance' where no

<Sanosuke> 'spell' can touch)

<Sanosuke> (only the summon can get them back.. heh heh)

<Gabriel> "Its a pity I have to lose one of my strongest.... but I cant forgive you..."

<Sanosuke> "Well... you didn't say killl her...."

<Gabriel> "you knew what I meant.... and your sex drive has caused me trouble for the last time"

<Sanosuke> "When did it ever cause you trouble?"

<Gabriel> "Silence... youre not weaseling out of this ..."

<Sanosuke> Xellos shut up, keeping his cool, even though he knew he was doomed.

<Gabriel> The wolves circling Xellos make a soft whining sound as power gathers in the room..... and Xellos finds himself in ... an indescribable place a few moments later

<Gabriel> (gotta go now)

<Sanosuke> "NOOO!!!!" Xellos screamed.

<Sanosuke> As soon as Xellos was seal the twins started to cry and clutch the unknowing Lina';s legs.

<Gabriel> "C'mon guys... why dont you let mommy rest a bit... "

<Gabriel> (I think when their mother disappears they take on forms more like teenagers... although they dont talk or anything...)

<Sanosuke> (awww... little kids are cuter though! espcielally clinging to gourry)

<Sanosuke> The twins continued to wail for no apperent reason.

<Gabriel> (Yeah but I think they just do that because they can control power easier in an adultish form)

<Sanosuke> (ok)

<Gabriel> "C'mon... guys.... why dont we go home and get you something to eat?"

<Sanosuke> Zegladis looked at them and closed his eyes in thought. "Perhaps.. there is something else going on here?"

<Gabriel> "Im so exhausted...." Lina complains... about to start crying along with the kids

<Sanosuke> (when beast master gonna show up to collect her to and send her to where no one can ever get her?)

<Sanosuke> The kids suddenly froze and vanished into thin air.

<Gabriel> (In a moment....)

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis snapped to, hand to his sword at once.

<Gabriel> "Oh... thats unnerving...."

<Sanosuke> "Very..." He scanned the area.

<Gabriel> The howl of wolves can be heard... quite close

<Sanosuke> "Is that... who I think?" Zelgadis asked, holding his sword out.

<Sanosuke> (I'd think Xellos would be called a traitor sentanced to a fate worse then death.,.. what you think?)

<Gabriel> "Why.... would she be out and about? She makes Xelloss do her work...."

<Sanosuke> "This isn't a good sign..." Zelgadis looked around more./

<Gabriel> a Rather large wolf trots out... and sits down .... several others following her out

<Gabriel> (Xelas has a wolf form.... since Ive never met her I prefer to use it)

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis narrowed his eyes.

<Sanosuke> (cool.)

<Sanosuke> "Why are you here?" He asked her.

<Sanosuke> (Xellos is a traitor.. Xellos is a traitor.. la la la *giggles*)(

<Gabriel> A mental voice projects itself to Lina and Zelgadis "Xellos is a traitor to my race.. and has been sentanced to a fate worse than death..... one you will share with him"

<Sanosuke> "What?" Zelgadis nearly dropped his sword at those shocking words. "Why... is he?"

<Gabriel> "He broke a cardinal rule ... Lina.... is part of his punishment...."

<Sanosuke> "What have you done to him??" Zelgadis demanded, as if part of him actually carred deap down for Xellos.

<Gabriel> "He is punished... it matters not... he will live forever.... along with Lina.. I find that fitting... as the girl annoys him a great deal..."

<Sanosuke> "You... you didn't./.." Zelgadis did drop his sword this time... knowing the rarest and most cruelest and irriversible of all punishments.. one he had never heard of someone actually using before....

<Gabriel> "I did... and will again... " The wolf's tongue lolls out.... and the ones closest to Lina draw back whining

<Sanosuke> "But... that's...." Zelgadis was even shivering now, "No one has ever deserved it!!!!!"

<Gabriel> "He has in my eyes...." THe w

<Gabriel> The wolf remarks.... and suddenly Lina is gone without a word

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis fell back, trembling so bad as he knew what has just happend... the closest he coulkd get to tears came to his eyes.

<Gabriel> The wolves disappear into the forest.... along with thier master.... her work done...

<Sanosuke> (switch to Lina?_

<Gabriel> (Sure)

<Sanosuke> in an eyeblink.. Lina had been taken.,.,

<Gabriel> Lina squeezes her eyes shut... since what she sees makes her disoriented and sick.... even if it is nothing

<Sanosuke> She wasn't alone though... she could feel... 'see'.. one other there... a figure... curled in a ball, rocking back and forth.

<Gabriel> "Oh this is... "

<Sanosuke> "Lina?" Came an odd but familier voice... distorted by something....

<Gabriel> "I cant open my eyes or I swear Im going to die..."

<Sanosuke> "Can't.... no... death..."

<Gabriel> Lina opens her eyes.... "god this is weird..."

<Sanosuke> Xellos.... she knew it was Xellos now... curled up?

<Gabriel> "Xellos... how do we get out of here?"

<Sanosuke> "never...."

<Gabriel> 'Wha.... why the hell did she put me here? What did I do??"

<Sanosuke> his voice... souned different... something in it....

<Sanosuke> Xellos was still rocking back and forth.

<Gabriel> Lina moves closer.... even though it seems like it takes forever

<Sanosuke> He was the most shaken up, sad, whatever a Mazoku could possibly get....

<Gabriel> "Are.... you okay?" She says.... sitting? next to him (the questionmark is cuz she's not really sure... herself)

<Sanosuke> "Why... should... I be? I.. should... have done.. what I was told to.. do."

<Gabriel> "You were told to knock me up?"

<Sanosuke> "No... to... kill you.... never to..." Xellos held back and scrunched up tighter.

<Gabriel> "Oh... so you screwed around a little too much... huh?"

<Sanosuke> "not.. allowed... to... bread... with humans..." (shoudl be breed)

<Gabriel> Lina puts a hand on Xellos' shoulder? "Well... you probably figured that having kids would have killed me.... being so small and stuff...."

<Sanosuke> "No... I... didn't... want to.. kill you.... I was.. told too...."

<Gabriel> "You didnt want to kill me?"

<Sanosuke> "No.... but I... should have... it.. would have been.. better for.. us both."

<Gabriel> "Can I ask why you didnt want to kill me?"

<Sanosuke> "I... don't know. Stupidity...."

<Gabriel> "Oh... well it looks like we're stuck together.... but Im sure... they're gonna find a way to get me out....."

<Sanosuke> "It's.. impossible...."

<Gabriel> "There has to be a way... every spell can be undone....."

<Sanosuke> "The reason.. this one has never been used before.. is simply that.... it can't be undone.. and we can't be seen, heard, or felt.... it was an ineffective torture for that... so never used... but it inspired fear just to

<Sanosuke> know it existed..."

<Gabriel> Lina frowns

<Gabriel> "So its just you and me... forever?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes....."

<Gabriel> "Well... this is gonna be fun....." Lina says dryly

<Sanosuke> "It's... worse then death... to be... alone... even with any one person..."

<Gabriel> "Look.... for now... why dont you cheer up a little... "

<Sanosuke> "The point of it?" Xellos looked up at her.

<Gabriel> "So you dont depress me.... lets hold out as long as we can....

<Sanosuke> Xellos frowned.... "But... why?"

<Gabriel> "Because... if my friends can find a way to get me out.... they will..... and Im sure they'll never give up on me.... so I wont ever give up on them...."

<Sanosuke> "Once they grow old and die you'll have to.... but I guess that's what I never can understand about humans." Xellos shrugged his shoulders.

<Gabriel> "Im not giving up Xellos.... bear with me...."

<Sanosuke> "I.... guess I can.. humor you untill the time comes...."

<Gabriel> "Good boy..." Lina says and ruffles his hair

<Sanosuke> That made Xellos chuckle. "Well, there is no life or death here... we can't get hurt... we don't breath... eat.. or any of that sort of thing... no magic... nothing... but we have the illision of touch and feel."

<Gabriel> "If it comes to ..... you know..... to keep sane...." Lina says slowly

<Gabriel> (I think theres a massive time dilation in there too.... like it seems like years to them... for only a few days)

<Sanosuke> (ok)

<Sanosuke> "Ah, but Lina... when our sanity goes we will not suffer as much."

<Gabriel> "I prefer to be sane when they pull me out of here...."

<Sanosuke> Xellos sighed again. "False hope..."

<Gabriel> "Shh..."

<Gabriel> "for me no hope is ever false..."

<Sanosuke> "Once again.. what I'll never understand about humans...."

<Gabriel> "you promised to humor me.... stop being depressed

<Sanosuke> "Ah, yes. Then what shall it be?"

<Gabriel> "magic doesnt work at all huh?"

<Sanosuke> "No... for we are really not what we 'see'... nothing but thought is here... so there is no real reality... "

<Gabriel> "Ohh... sounds confusing..."

<Gabriel> "Are mazoku ticklish?"

<Gabriel> "Ive always wondered....."

<Sanosuke> "I suppose it can be...." Xellos reached up to her. "I.... ticklish?"

<Gabriel> Lina makes a move to pounce Xellos... figuring that talking wont cheer him up

<Sanosuke> (btw, does Xellos ever have anyother form? Being what he is from what i remember they have no real bodies and stuff or something... or did I miss read something?)

<Sanosuke> Xellos chuckled as he was pounced on. "Ah..."

<Gabriel> (He might... but nobody's ever seen it... he likes his priest form.... )

<Sanosuke> (yeah, so he appears as it here too)

<Gabriel> Lina moves for all the points she believes may be ticklish

<Gabriel> (and despite all her whining.... Lina likes herself I think)

<Sanosuke> (awww)

<Sanosuke> Xellos, for fun, started to chuckle and laugh.

<Gabriel> "Oh come.... I can tell youre not serious... youre not squirming...."

<Sanosuke> He squirmed for her.

<Gabriel> Lina laughs

<Sanosuke> "That better?"

<Gabriel> "you have to be the tamest Mazoku Ive ever met.... squirming on command..."

<Sanosuke> "Ah, I see? You think me tame?" He grinned and pounced her over.

<Gabriel> "You havent tried to outright kill me .... like most of the others have...."

<Gabriel> Lina squeaks

<Sanosuke> "

<Sanosuke> "Well, that's because i have more fun being on the same side."

<Gabriel> "I amuse you I suppose?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes Lina...."

<Gabriel> "You know... funny thing... Zel was kinda upset when Xelas showed up... and said what she did to you

<Sanosuke> "This is a fate worse then death Lina.... eternity is the worst punishment of all."

<Gabriel> "Im enjoying it so far.... cant say that will last long...."

<Sanosuke> "I know... after that you will know why this is the worst torture.. but no fun for anyone outside of it."

<Gabriel> "Xellos... believe me.... if theres a way to get out... my friends will find it...."

<Gabriel> "And I'll even take you out with me.. cant leave you to this..."

<Sanosuke> Xellos nodded slowly and lay down over Lina.

<Gabriel> "You just have to stick close...."

<Sanosuke> "I know...."

<Gabriel> Lina reaches up and toys with Xellos' hair...

<Sanosuke> Xellos grinned slightly. Since clothing didn't exist there either theirs just popped out of being so to speak.

<Gabriel> "Never thought I'd actually be this willing..." Lina says softly

<Sanosuke> "This is just thoughts Lina... no form.. just what we see..."

<Gabriel> "I ... know.... its still just weird..."

<Sanosuke> Xellos felt good on top of her anyway.

<Gabriel> Lina runs a lazy hand down Xellos' back, wondering if what she feels is true to the real Xellos

<Sanosuke> Xellos nuzzled at her neck slowly, sighing.

<Gabriel> "It still feels good.... even to just thoughts..."

<Sanosuke> "I know... it's real in a way."

<Gabriel> "Its real.... yet not real... mm... to confusing for me...."

<Sanosuke> "Then just think it's real."

<Gabriel> "okay... fine by me..."

<Sanosuke> Xellos kissed her neck softly.

<Gabriel> Lina Mmmm's softly, and moves her hands along his back.... surprisingly not bothered by thi

<Sanosuke> Xellos kissed along her neck softly.

<Gabriel> Lina makes a soft purring sound, still tracing his body almost lovingly

<Sanosuke> His body felt pleasing under the touch... everything like a human body she dreamed of.

<Gabriel> Lina arches her back slightly, so her body presses up into Xellos, surprised at how warm and soft he is.... and finding it hard to believe this isnt real

<Sanosuke> Of course, with a Mazoku you never knew what was real to the touch of them.... especially now as Xellos kissed her cheek lightly.

<Gabriel> Lina looks up at Xellos and smiles softly .... figuring that somehow it wont be that bad... having to share eternity with him......

<Sanosuke> But didn't she love Gourry? Perhaps that was some other kind of love as Xellos wrapped around her, still kissing.

<Sanosuke> meanwhile.... Zelgadis slowly made his way back to the hideout.. looking like hell.

<Sanosuke> The girl twin was sitting in Tasuki's lap, crying and clutching the startled man.

<Gabriel> The boy is no where to be found...

<Gabriel> "Whats wrong... c'mon... stop cryin..."

<Sanosuke> She was so small and kept clutching him, sobbing.... then Zelgadis trudged in.... head down....

<Gabriel> "Zel.... what the hell is going on?

<Sanosuke> "Lina..... Lina...." He muttered, and flopped down next to Tasuki, buring his head.

<Gabriel> "What happened now? She didnt run off and leave us having to take care of her kids?"

<Sanosuke> "Gone.... not.... what she wanted.... no.... " Zelgadis shook his head and seemed on the verge of tears or something.

<Gabriel> "What... c'mon... tell me what happened?"

<Sanosuke> "Put... into... a place... no one... can reach.... get out of.... no... death... no life.... forever...."

<Gabriel> "Huh?"

<Sanosuke> "Punished....." Zelgadis shook.

<Gabriel> "P... punished.... what the hell she do?"

<Sanosuke> "Nothing.... Xellos... was... punished..... she... became... part..."

<Gabriel> "Damn..... so... she's gone forever... like dead?"

<Sanosuke> "Worse...." Zelgadis clutched himself, trying to regain focus.

<Gabriel> Tasuki frowns "She didnt even get ta name her kids..."

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis nodded and closed his eyes, taking a few deep breaths.

<Gabriel> "damn...."

<Sanosuke> "We'll have to name them..."

<Gabriel> "I suck at that.... I couldnt even name my dog.... so his name was dog...."

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis looked up as Nuriko and Hotohori approuched.

<Gabriel> "You look upset.... what has happened?" Hotohori asks

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis explained over the girl's crying and Nuriko grew pale.

<Gabriel> Hotohori frowns regally

<Gabriel> "There is absolutely no way?"

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis closed his eyes. "That was the way it was designed... and why it was never used before."

<Gabriel> "There must be a way.... " Hotohori says... "you cant just give up..."

<Sanosuke> "What about a wish?" Nuriko asked.

<Gabriel> "We dont have a miko...."

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis opened his eyes. "Is it possible to get a new one?"

<Gabriel> "I dont know...."

<Sanosuke> "I know.... a girl.. that would be perfect... assuming we can find her and that she didn't just throw herself at the first guy she saw after she... found out I wasn't interested."

<Gabriel> "If we can get a priestess.... we still need the artifacts...."

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis nodded. "If there is a chance.. we have to take it... no mater what the cost." He sighed at those last words.

<Gabriel> (Im gonna drag the boy out in teenage form.... because he sorta went off into a rage when his mother was piffed)

<Sanosuke> (ok)

<Gabriel> (I think he is the colder more mazoku of the pair... even tho the girl has her moments Im sure)

<Sanosuke> (yep. but I think she has a lot of her mom in her... so DRAGON SLAVE!! heh heh

<Gabriel> An unfamiliar young man enters the room.... apparently having difficulty walking... he appears to be around 17.... and has odd lavender colored hair with a strip of white in it.....

<Sanosuke> The girl, stopped crying, and shimmered, changing to the same age in Tasuki's lap... with hair the same color.

<Sanosuke> (they are naked, right?)

<Gabriel> The boy points at the girl and something unspoken passes between them.... almost as if he's accusing her

<Gabriel> (The boy stole one of Tasuki's black coat things)

<Sanosuke> (ah, ok)

<Sanosuke> She blinked and jumnped off the startled Tasuki's lap, looking at him.

<Gabriel> "Wha.... whats goin on here?" Tasuki sputters.. having just noticed that there was a girl in his lap....

<Sanosuke> Zegladis blinked, then rested his chin in a hand. "Lina's kids.... they seem very upset."

<Gabriel> "Can.. somebody give her some clothes or somethin.... " Tasuki says.. embarassed for some reason

<Sanosuke> Nuriko took off the dress he had been wearing and slung it over the girl, then pressed closely to Hotohori as he stood ther in his shorts.

<Gabriel> The boy folds his arms across his chest... looking morose..

<Sanosuke> The girl put the dress on and looked down at the ground.

<Gabriel> "So... uh... what are we gonna do?" Tasuki asks

<Sanosuke> "Find the new priestess...." Zelgadis stood up.

<Sanosuke> (please don't get mad but can you play Amelia?)

<Gabriel> (I suppose I can suffer..... John offered to play her.... *smirk*)

<Sanosuke> (ohhh... but he's never on when needed *whine*)

<Gabriel> (I know.... but I'll play her)

<Sanosuke> (*hugs* ok *smile*)

<Gabriel> The boy perks up a little and goes to Zelgadis...

<Sanosuke> (think the twins can teleport them or anything?)

<Sanosuke> The girl joined him and Zelgadis looked at them, resting his hand on Tasuki's shoulder.

<Gabriel> The boy gestures for a moment... then looks frustrated

<Sanosuke> The girl looked to him and nodded, ready to do it together.

<Gabriel> The boy nods as well.... and grins a grin that would make Xelloss proud

<Sanosuke> The girls grinned as well and gestured with him.

<Gabriel> a portal opens behind Zelgadis... and the boy calmly pushes him in

<Sanosuke> Startled, Zelgadis pulled Tasuki in with him.

<Gabriel> "Waah!!" Tasuki yelps before entering the portal

<Gabriel> The boy smirks and follows them through

<Sanosuke> The girl as well.

<Gabriel> They find themselves at a busy seaport.... people are loading and unloading ships all around them

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis caught Tasuki as they blinked.

<Sanosuke> "Oh my..." Zel muttered.

<Gabriel> "Wha... where are we?" Tasuki says

<Gabriel> The boy frowns a moment... and passes a hand over himself so he's wearing more appropriate body covering....

<Sanosuke> The girl giggled in Nuriko's dress.

<Sanosuke> "Where we want to be.." Zelgadis replied.

<Gabriel> The boy makes a face at her

<Sanosuke> She made a face back.

<Gabriel> The boy raises his hand and a glow forms at the finger tips... obviously a spell intended to hit his sister

<Sanosuke> She brought her hand up and whaped him with a diger bolt before he had a chance.

<Gabriel> The boy balls his hands into fists and stalks towards a Tavern....

<Sanosuke> She giggled again and followed after, leaving Tasuki and Zelgadis standing there.

<Gabriel> "So uh.... Zel... what are we lookin for?"

<Sanosuke> "Not what, who.... and she should be near if she came back..." Zelgadis started too look up at the high places.

<Gabriel> "Who then?"

<Sanosuke> Inside the tavern the twins started to cause a ruccus....

<Gabriel> The boy throws a blam blazer at his sister... several balls of light flying from his fingers at her

<Sanosuke> She ducked and sent a shockwave through the floor of the tavern to knock him off his feet.

<Sanosuke> (this would bring Amelia, would it not?)

<Gabriel> (yeah... thats why they're doin it I'd think)

<Gabriel> The boy growls and summons a beastie.... sending it after his sister

<Sanosuke> (yeppers)

<Sanosuke> She countered with more beasties.. and soon everyone in the tavern was screaming and running out.

<Gabriel> Amelia fights her way though the crowd... and stops at the Tavern door .... beginning her gaudy "I am Amelia wil tesla Sailune... and in the name of Justice I order you to stop!!!"

<Gabriel> Confetti falls out of nowhere as Amelia gestures wildly... ending in an odd pose

<Sanosuke> The girl looked at her and giggled, tossing a flock of ducks at her.

<Gabriel> The boy claps his hand and laughs

<Sanosuke> the girl laughed some more and twirled her arms in the air... causing it to rain frogs on Amelia.

<Gabriel> "stop this at once!!! Or I will have to harm you!" Amelia shouts

<Sanosuke> The girl giggled, watching the frogs crawl all over Amelia.

<Gabriel> "Thats it... " Amelia yells..... and flys at the girl with one of her fists of justice attacks

<Sanosuke> The girl merrily dodged and giggled more, casting a lightning spell on her.

<Gabriel> (I dont remember any of Amelia's spells.... blah)

<Sanosuke> (come up with something white magic?)

<Gabriel> (I want that spell she uses to tie up Jirasu)

<Sanosuke> (bs it? *giggle*)

<Gabriel> (I cant BS a slayers spell...)

<Sanosuke> (ok ok... hmmm)

<Sanosuke> (have her about to cast some really nasty white magic spell that Zelgadis will catch her arm to stop her?)

<Gabriel> (there arent any real nasty white magic spells...)

<Gabriel> (its white magic.... )

<Sanosuke> (ok.... hmmmm)

<Sanosuke> (true)

<Sanosuke> (maybe she's about to try and hit them again?)

<Gabriel> (she tried to get lina to teach her dragonslave once.... but I dont think she'd pull that one either)

<Sanosuke> (I know... it was sooo funny too)

<Gabriel> (I like em big an dumb!)

<Sanosuke> (heh...)

<Sanosuke> The girl giggled as she cast that on Amelia.

<Gabriel> "Oww... thats it...." Amelia shouts... and spreads her stance "I will die for the hand of justice.... " ~seeing as theres nothing left to live for~ Amelia shouts.... and preps a dragonslave.... something she will most

<Gabriel> likely fail in casting.... but not that it matters

<Sanosuke> Just as she was about to cast it a hand, seeminly of stone, grabbed her wrist from behind.

<Gabriel> Amelia whirls.... and blinks ..... "Zelgadis-sama... you came back!!!" she says happily... tears in her eyes

<Sanosuke> He let go of her wrists. "You're the one that left..." He looked away a little, standing right next to Tasuki. "In any case, we are desparate for your yelp...."

<Sanosuke> help^

<Gabriel> (Yelp!!!)

<Gabriel> (*ameria screams* that good Zel-sama?)

<Sanosuke> (help... heh heh *Zel falls over*)'

<Gabriel> "what do you need my help for...." Amelia asks... catching on to why Tasuki is there quite quickly

<Sanosuke> "Lina... and Xellos.... have been given a fate worse then death... and there might be only one chance for them.... or they will suffer forever."

<Gabriel> "Why.... what did they do?"

<Gabriel> (Zel would have to pump her justice juices I think)

<Sanosuke>

<Sanosuke> "Xellos was supposed to kill her and didn't.... he was punished for that... and she became part... apperntly."

<Gabriel> "But... she didnt do anything..... ?"

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis shook his head. "No..."

<Sanosuke> The girl started to juggle bottles.

<Gabriel> "Thats wrong... the innocent shouldnt be punished....."

<Gabriel> The boy shoots one of them as its in the air

<Sanosuke> (heh heh!! we got a quote from one of our stories up on someone elses page!! *giggles.. is looking through site hits from where thanks to bravenet*)

<Sanosuke> The girl giggles as the bottle shaters over Amelia's head, drenching her.

<Gabriel> (really what quote is that?)

<Gabriel> "and who are these.... people...." Amelia says through gritted teeth

<Sanosuke> "Lina's.... kids...."

<Gabriel> "L... lina's..... kids? With Mr Gourry?"

<Sanosuke> "No... Xellos got her... pregnant..."

<Gabriel> "Xellos..... with Miss Lina?"

<Sanosuke> "To get us all out of the book she submited to him..."

<Gabriel> "Mr... Xellos forced Miss Lina...." Amelia says... trying to figure out things

<Sanosuke> "You're the only one of our group outside the dragons... he didn't get..."

<Gabriel> "So Im doing this to save Miss Lina a horrible fate.... " Amelia says quietly... "In the name of Justice..... I will!!!" Amelia poses.... and falls flat on her face

<Sanosuke> The twins giggled.

<Gabriel> The boy claps his hands.... and grins

<Sanosuke> Zel nodded and helpped her up. "That is... asuming you are still.. pure."

<Gabriel> "pure?"

<Sanosuke> "Only a pure girl can..... help for this."

<Sanosuke> (quistion! does this pure thing only go with the fire bird???)

<Gabriel> "Mr... Zelgadis.... .... you ... dare question my Integrity?"

<Gabriel> (Nope.... any beast god... they will only couple with a pure girl)

<Sanosuke> (then how could Yui??? She was RAPED!!!!)

<Gabriel> (She wasnt.... Nakago lied to her)

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis got a huge anime sweatdrop.

<Sanosuke> (ahhhh... then what happend??)

<Sanosuke> "I... forgive me..."

<Gabriel> (He stopped the men before they did anything to her... but she was unconcious.... when she woke up he let her think what she wanted)

<Sanosuke> (ok. that explains it then....)

<Gabriel> (He never directly lied to her....b ut he never told her the truth either)

<Sanosuke> (true)

<Gabriel> "now. ... that we got this .... airhead... what do we do?" Tasuki asks innocently

<Sanosuke> "Find the artifacts and rescue Lina and Xellos...."

<Gabriel> "We gotta rescue both of them?"

<Gabriel> Tasuki scratches his head

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis nodded. "Not even Xellos desrives what his master gave him..."

<Gabriel> The boy takes a piece of paper out of his pocket.... and gives it to Xellos.... on it are drawn a very crude Xellos and Lina ...

<Sanosuke> (to who?)

<Gabriel> (Err... Zelgadis.... brain fried a bit ..._)

<Sanosuke> Zelgadis held it. "And the children.... they.... want their parents back."

<Gabriel> "well then... what are we waiting for..." Amelia says... touched by the apparently sad children

<Sanosuke> "Nothing... ;let's go!"

<Sanosuke> Meanwhile.... Fllia was recovewring from her shock.

<Sanosuke> (cold stiff fingers hard to type with)

<Gabriel> (Aww.. *rubs your hands*)

<Sanosuke> (*smiles*)

<Gabriel> Val tugs on her skirt

<Sanosuke> She looked down. "Yes val hunny?"

<Gabriel> "Thing

<Gabriel> (bleh... my backspace wont work)

<Gabriel> "Things are weird..."

<Sanosuke> "Like what?"

<Gabriel> "Lina disappeareded

<Gabriel> (They were still standing close by.... )

<Sanosuke> "I.... I was out cold..."

<Gabriel> "Big scary Mazoku lady.... she sent Lina away...."

<Sanosuke> "What?? Who? What?" Fillia's tail winged out.

<Gabriel> Val frowns

<Sanosuke> She held Val to her.

<Gabriel> "She cant come back.... ever....

<Sanosuke> "What??? No! This can't be!!!!":

<Gabriel> Val shivers.... some deep part of him remembering the fear of that punishment

<Sanosuke> Fillia shakes and holds him. "I have to... go see Nakago..."

<Gabriel> "no... mommy... not that man...."

<Sanosuke> "Perhaps... there is a chance... if we... summon.... the dragon..."

<Gabriel> "but... he's makes my hair prickle..."

<Gabriel> (he.... not he's

<Sanosuke> In the grand palace between the two old countries that were now one Tamahome stood in the throne room, not wearing very much at all to please Nakago...

<Gabriel> Nakago sighs softly to himself... being ruler isnt all its cracked up to be

<Sanosuke> Tamahome was ever by his side though, there for him for any need.

<Gabriel> "Tamahome... entertain me please.... " Nakago says

<Sanosuke> Tamahome grinned and slid into Nakago's lap. "And how do you want to be entertained? Prisoner exiction? Sex? Something else?"

<Sanosuke> (bleh.. can't spell!)

<Gabriel> "I dont know... Im bord...."

<Sanosuke> "Let's see then.... I think you need cheering up." Tamahome smiled and kissed him softly.

<Gabriel> "now that I rule half of the known world....

<Sanosuke> "Not enjoying it as much as you thought?"

<Gabriel> "Yes..."

<Gabriel> "The other two pieces are safe... thier wish .... when they summoned thier beast god was to be forever safe from conquer..."

<Sanosuke> "What would you enjoy then?" Tamahome smoothed Nakago's hair.

<Gabriel> "I dont know... cant you think of something?"

<Sanosuke> "I know all the things you like... and if you're bored of them for the momment then we both need a change.... perhaps go out somewhere and see what needs to be done?"

<Gabriel> "yes... I do have a good image to keep up..."

<Sanosuke> "Yep." Tamahome got off Nakago's lap.

<Gabriel> Nakago stretches and stands

<Gabriel> "how is your family....?"

<Sanosuke> "They are good as always."

<Gabriel> "Well... lets find some place and go..."

<Sanosuke> "Alright. There are still those annoying bandits to take care of..."

<Gabriel> "Yes... still holding a grudge against us arent they?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes. I think they are. Why don';t we go take care of them? It might be the fun you need."

<Gabriel> "Sounds like a good idea.... rouse the army.... "

<Gabriel> "Only a small squad though....

<Gabriel> "I want most of the fun to myself..."

<Sanosuke> Tamahome grinned and balled up a fist. "And me too." He went to carry out Nakago's orders.

<Gabriel> Nakago heads out the the courtyard.... and blinks at the bright sun....

<Sanosuke> Tamahome joined him, holding his numchuck.

<Gabriel> "Ahh... a beautiful day.... to crush those who oppose"

<Sanosuke> (*can't spell*)

<Gabriel> (nunchaku I think it is )

<Sanosuke> "Yes.... I bet they are the only ones to resist your rule...."

<Gabriel> "Fools... if Xellos hadnt brought back the former emperor... they would have given up long ago"

<Sanosuke> "Perhaps... let us get them then..."

<Sanosuke> Fillia didn't show up till they had already left... just missing them.

<Gabriel> Val sniffles... cranky because he had to walk

<Sanosuke> Fillia sat down and sighed, waiting for them to get back.

<Gabriel> "mommy.. Im boored..."

<Sanosuke> Nuriko had finnaly gotten clothed again, and sat down on the bed.

<Sanosuke> Fillia picked some flowers and handed them to Val.

<Gabriel> (Hee hee.. Val's a brat()

<Sanosuke> (awww)

<Gabriel> "I hope the can find that girl... " Hotohori says... pacing slightly

<Sanosuke> "Yeah.... we could really use the wish too..." Nuriko brushed out his hair.

<Gabriel> "What else are we going to have her wish for?"

<Sanosuke> "To have our kingdom back, what else?"

<Gabriel> "Thats only two... one more"

<Sanosuke> "Three wishes? Well, Zelgadis back to human as he wants.

<Sanosuke> "

<Gabriel> "Yes... thats good then.... he will be pleased"

<Sanosuke> "We could wish for more wishes...."

<Gabriel> "I dont believe the god would allow that...."

<Sanosuke> "Alright.... so we can only wish for three things... then what?"

<Gabriel> "Then its over...."

<Gabriel> "I hope the girl has a strong will..."

<Sanosuke> "Why?"

<Gabriel> "Those who do not have a strong will.... are consumed by the beast god... a little with each wish"

<Sanosuke> "I see.... I hope she does too then."

<Gabriel> (If not its not like we'd miss Amelia or anything *EG*

<Sanosuke> (heh heh)

<Gabriel> Hothori sighs and settles down next to Nuriko

<Sanosuke> Nuriko leaned against him and sighed.

<Gabriel> "Waiting is so boring....

<Sanosuke> "I know... but we need to wait, right?"

<Sanosuke> Just then the alarm was called.

<Gabriel> "the.... Alarm... whats going on?"

<Sanosuke> Nuriko jumped up and looked out the door as the Bandits yelled that they were under attack.

<Gabriel> "Attack.....? By who?"

<Sanosuke> That question was answered when he saw Tamahome across the room, tossing a bandit.

<Gabriel> "You.... the traitor of Suzaku...." Hotohori growls

<Sanosuke> Tamahome grinned. "If it isn't the old emperor back from the dead...."

<Gabriel> "I know the way and I will gladly show it to you...."

<Sanosuke> "Not likely..." Tamahome swung his weapon at Hotohori as Nuriko stood there.

<Gabriel> Hothori draws his sword and uses it to deflect the swing.... having excellent skills as a swordsman

<Gabriel> ^o

<Sanosuke> There was a slight explosion and the bandits screamed about being trapped... at wich point Nuriko rushed off to help.

<Gabriel> "Do not underestimate my skill.... traitor...."

<Sanosuke> "I'm not a traitor... I just serve the one I love."

<Gabriel> "Duty to ones country comes before love.... "

<Sanosuke> Nuriko lifted the ruble up, to the amazment of the bandits, and shouted for them to get clear.

<Sanosuke> "Never.,... love is first beyhond all!" Tamahome yelled, swinging at Hotohori.

<Gabriel> Hotohori blocks... sparks flying from his weapon as the metal clanks together

<Sanosuke> (where's Nakago?)

<Gabriel> (Dunno)

<Sanosuke> (he doesn't see the fight or the fleeing bandits?)

<Sanosuke> Tamahome kicked out with his foot to the emperor's chest.

<Gabriel> (give me a break... I can only do one thing at once)

<Sanosuke> (ok)

<Gabriel> Hotohori grabs Tamahome's foot and pushes it back... trying to topple him

<Gabriel> Meanwhile... Nakago is picking off Bandits as they flee from the base... leaving Tamahome to flush them out

<Sanosuke> Tamahome fell over and curled his weapon around the sword.

<Sanosuke> Nuriko saw him and hurld the ruble he had been holding up at him.

<Gabriel> Hotohori curses his ensnared weapon.... and aims a kick at Tamahome's head

<Gabriel> Nakago chuckles and incinerates the rubble before it can touch him

<Sanosuke> Tamahome fell over, growling at the pain.

<Sanosuke> Nuriko's eyes went wide and he picked up another huge peice of ruble with ease.

<Gabriel> "Come now... girl... throwing things wont solve anything" Nakago taunts

<Gabriel> (Nakky knows he's a boy.. he's teasing)

<Sanosuke> Nuriko growled and raced down at him. "You monster!"

<Sanosuke> (Nuriko doesn't care that Nakky called him that

<Gabriel> Nakago smirks, waiting for Nuriko to come within reach

<Gabriel> Hotohori works on freeing his weapon.... intent on skewering Tamahome

<Sanosuke> Nuriko did so.

<Sanosuke> Tamahome pulled his weapon with the sword back, trying to wrench it from Hotohori's grip.

<Gabriel> Nakago grapples Nuriko lightning fast.... twisting his arm behind his back and throwing him easily over his shoulder

<Sanosuke> Nuriko was shocked by the speed and slammed into the ground, groaning.

<Gabriel> "I am unstoppable.... you should have realized that... " Nakago says... and moves over to finish Nuriko

<Sanosuke> Nuriko kicked up at Nakago as he tried to get back to his feet.

<Gabriel> Nakago grins and tries to pin Nuriko to the ground

<Gabriel> "Let go of my sword... " Hotohori growls....

<Sanosuke> Nuriko pushed down with his hands, trying to push back up to break Nakago's hold.

<Sanosuke> "No." Tamahome growled, wrenching and sending both weapons flying.

<Gabriel> "My .. you are strong..." Nakago says... letting go since its too much for him

<Sanosuke> Nuriko tried to get back to his feet. "Stronger then you it seems.."

<Gabriel> "You may be physically stronger..... but ... I will merely incinerate you..." Nakago says.... gathering power

<Sanosuke> "This close to you? Are you insane?" Nuriko blinked, a mear inch from Nakago.

<Gabriel> "Ahh... youre right..."

<Sanosuke> "You're insane.. arn't you?"

<Gabriel> "Hm... I suppose you could say so...."

<Gabriel> Nakago reaches out and Flicks Nuriko's nose... putting a tad of power in it

<Sanosuke> "Oh great... I get stuck with the loon while Hotohori kills the traitor..." Nuriko winced and held his nose.

<Gabriel> A dark look falls over Nakago's face..... "Tamahome...."

<Sanosuke> Nuriko nodded and tried to hook the distracted Nakago's leg to trip him.

<Gabriel> Nakago falls.... too caught up with the thought of his lover in danger to notice

<Sanosuke> Nuriko tried punching him after that, glad for the distraction.

<Gabriel> Nakago puts his arms up to defend his face.... knowing that Nuriko could kill him if he got hit there hard enough

<Sanosuke> Tamahome meanwhile was reaching for his displaced weapon.

<Gabriel> "No you dont...." Hotohori says... rushing Tamahome

<Sanosuke> Tamahome was still on the ground, and now Hotohori spilled over him, trapping him.

<Gabriel> Hothori grabs Tamahome and tries to punch him... hating to resort to that... but knowing he has no choice

<Sanosuke> Tamahome growls and tries to fight back, but his arms are pinned at strange angles.

<Gabriel> "Are you ready to die Tamahome....?" Hotohori hisses

<Sanosuke> "Fuck you..." Tamahome hissed back.

<Gabriel> Hothori cuffs him

<Sanosuke> (cuffs?)

<Gabriel> (hits him)

<Sanosuke> Tamahome growled.

<Gabriel> Hotohori reaches for his sword.... intent on finishing this

<Sanosuke> Tamahome wiggled, managing to knock the sword further away then they could get.

<Gabriel> "Damn you..."

<Sanosuke> "Heh.. helpless without your sword, arn't you?"

<Sanosuke> Tamahome's weapon was close by still...

<Gabriel> "I... dont believe I could kill you anyway..."

<Sanosuke> "A coward too?"

<Gabriel> "Suzaku would not forgive me for killing one of his Seishi...."

<Sanosuke> "What about when you killed yourself and your lover?"

<Gabriel> Hothori picks up the chain and wrestles Tamahome into a better position to bind him

<Gabriel> "I was dead then.... it did not matter...."

<Sanosuke> "You should have stayed that way...."

<Gabriel> "I think.... when our Miko arrives... I will have her wish you and Nakago.... considering he isnt dead.... into some far off corner so you can have your peace....

<Sanosuke> Outside Nuriko was being tossed off Nakago again.

<Sanosuke> "What? Why would he be dead?"

<Gabriel> (hothori's specialty is his gentleness... he cant help that)

<Gabriel> "You cant even keep me pinned Nuriko?"

<Sanosuke> (awww... cute_

<Sanosuke> Nuriko growled. "We'll see."

<Gabriel> Nakago stands.... and wagglse a finger at Nuriko

<Gabriel> ^waggles

<Sanosuke> Nuriko looked at the finger.

<Gabriel> A concussive burst knocks Nuriko back... designed to taunt instead of harm however

<Sanosuke> Nuriko fell back onto the ground, grumbling and holding hia head.

<Gabriel> "You cant take even a weak blast such as that?

<Sanosuke> "God damn it!" Nuriko struggled to get his balance.

<Gabriel> Nakago laughs maniacally

<Sanosuke> Nuriko stood, his body shaking.

<Gabriel> (I dont want em to die... they're too cute.... just should have them get put in Kutou and have no power to harm(

<Sanosuke> (hmm.. take him captive when yah find out Tamahome is a prisonar!_

<Gabriel> "I hope Tamahome has finished off his opponent..." Nakago says... taunting Nuriko

<Sanosuke> "What? No.... My love would never fall to a traitor!"

<Gabriel> "That weak sissy boy emperor.... of course he would fall to my Tamahome"

<Sanosuke> "he's not a sissy!" Nuriko yelled, his anger making him offbalanced.

<Gabriel> Nakago aims a blast at Nuriko... grinning evilly

<Gabriel> (Hothori is comin out... hee)

<Sanosuke> (doesn't Nakky have a sword?)

<Sanosuke> Nuriko stood still, as if in shock or a daze.

<Gabriel> (why does he need one?)

<Sanosuke> (good point...)

<Gabriel> (And Im not frickin killing Nuriko...

<Sanosuke> (I will not want that anyway!)

<Gabriel> "Nuriko is right... Im not a Sissy.... " Hotohori calls out... shoving a bound Tamahome along in front of him

<Sanosuke> Tamahome growled, trying to work his bindings off.

<Gabriel> Nakago jerks slightly... the energy blast flying far from anywhere near Nuriko

<Sanosuke> Nuriko fell flat anyway, trying toi avoide getting hit.

<Gabriel> Nakago moves over and grabs Nuriko by the hair

<Sanosuke> Nuriko winces and growls something about his hair.

<Gabriel> "Now... it seems we both have somethin the other doesnt want damaged....

<Sanosuke> Nuriko wiggled in the grip of Nakago. "Let me go you monster!"

<Gabriel> "shut up woman...." Nakago says... and Jerks hard on his hair

<Sanosuke> Nuriko winces from the pain.

<Gabriel> Hothori growls "Nakago.... let him go..... and I will let this one go...."

<Sanosuke> Tamahome yelled, "Kill them Nakago! Kill them!"

<Gabriel> "If I kill Nuriko..... Hotohori will kill you...."

<Sanosuke> "He doesn't have the guts."

<Gabriel> Hothori jabs Tamahome in the back with his sword

<Sanosuke> Tamahome grunts, feeling pain as the sharp point comes close to squiwering him.

<Gabriel> "I cant take the chance that he does Tamahome....." Nakago says... letting go of Nuriko's hair

<Sanosuke> Nuriko tried to scramble away from Nakago.

<Gabriel> Nakago lets Nuriko get away "Now... give me Tamahome..."

<Sanosuke> (bah... would be more fun iuf thye had prisoners a while)

<Sanosuke> (*makes twins Zap Hotohori and Tamahome away... heh heh*)

<Gabriel> (...rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......rrrrrrr)

<Sanosuke> (not like?)

<Gabriel> (Im going to bed... hows that for not like>)

<Sanosuke> (ok ok... I'm sorry... *just has an evil mind*)

<Sanosuke> Tamahome wiggles in his bonds.

<Gabriel> (The twins can come and bubble Tamahome and Nakky... so they can decide what to do with ehm....)

<Sanosuke> (..........)

<Gabriel> (Im not making Nakago torture or rape Nuriko.... and hotohori wouldnt torture or rape tamahome.....)

<Sanosuke> (I know)

<Sanosuke> (*will have to save something like that for another fic and write it herself or something)

<Gabriel> (then wha the ehll do you want me to do?

<Gabriel> (Its against Hotohori's nature..... as well as its against Nakago's nature)

<Sanosuke> (*blinks* well... just hold them both hostage... no harm coming to them.... and somewhere Tamahome understands whu he's important or something)

<Sanosuke> (and agrees to help... or something.... )

<Gabriel> (they dont really need tamahome.... if they get the Shinzaho)

<Sanosuke> (ok. but, if they make Tamahome an ally then he might be able to talk to Nakago about stuff... and help bring peace or something)

<Gabriel> (Tamahome hasnt listend... what would make him listen all of a sudden........)

<Sanosuke> (hasn't listned yet... because he has no reason to... he might after a few days)

<Gabriel> "Go Nakago.... I will return Tamahome in a few days.... to ensure you dont attack again...."

<Sanosuke> "WHAT??" Tamahome yelled.

<Sanosuke> He also looked to Nakago, basicly to tell him to grab Nuriko before he could run.

<Gabriel> "Nuriko... go with Nakago...." Hotohori says.... hating himself for it

<Sanosuke> Nuriko did what Fillia did when she found out the twins were Lina's kids... keeled over and started to twitch.

<Gabriel> "Im sorry Nuriko... but there are things I wish to discuss with Tamahome..."

<Sanosuke>

<Sanosuke>

<Sanosuke> Nuriko couldn't hear him as the shock made him pass outon the grass.

<Gabriel> Nakago picks Nuriko up

<Sanosuke> Tamahome wiggled more and growled. "You.... you'll pay for this Hotohori... let me go now!"

<Gabriel> "Harm Nuriko and this one dies... I would expect you to do the same..... but I will not harm Tamahome....:

<Sanosuke> Nuriko was rather light as he was held by Nakago.

<Gabriel> Nakago hesitates... looking at Tamahome longingly... then he walks off

<Sanosuke> When Nuriko finnaly woke up where ever he had been brought he started crying out for Hotohori.

<Gabriel> (watched two more eps of try today... got them on VCD)

<Sanosuke> (cool! VCD?)

<Gabriel> (Video CD... has a bunch of files that plays on Realplayer... not the best video quality... but at least I get to see what happens instead of waiting for the tapes)

<Gabriel> "Hush you...." Nakago's voice says

<Sanosuke> (where can they be gotten?)

<Sanosuke> "I... can't.. belive... he... did this..."

<Gabriel> (I ordered mine on line... paid 15 dollars for the entire series... on ebay)

<Sanosuke> (ok)

<Gabriel> (Its hard to find ones that are subtitled in english though... most are in Chinese)

<Sanosuke> (ah)

<Gabriel> "I hope you enjoy your stay... dont do anything stupid....."

<Sanosuke> "Why? Why? Why did he abandon me here?"

<Sanosuke> Nuriko was talking quietly.

<Gabriel> "Stop talking to yourself please...."

<Sanosuke> "Well, why did he?" Nuriko looked up at Nakago.

<Gabriel> (He didnt throw him in the dungeon or anything... he's gotta be nice)

<Sanosuke> (ok)

<Gabriel> "Obviously he has something very important to say to Tamahome.... something more important than even you

<Gabriel> Nakago clenches his fist.... "He better not be coming on to him...."

<Sanosuke> Nuriko started to cry, curling up in a miserible ball.

<Gabriel> (It'd be kinda funny if they both thought thier lovers were cheating on them...(

<Sanosuke> (yah... Nuriko is crying at the thought)

<Gabriel> Nakago sits down.... growling

<Sanosuke> Nuriko sobs into the sleeves of his dress, his body shaking.

<Gabriel> "Shh.... he's not worth crying over..."

<Sanosuke> "Why not? We... we... died together once..."

<Gabriel> "He just traded you off for fresh meat.... " Nakago says... looking upset as well

<Sanosuke> "No.... no.... this... can't be... no... please don't let it be..."

<Gabriel> "It better not be.... my Tamahome.... with that...... priss..."

<Sanosuke> "Hotohori.. with.. another man?" Nuriko took his head out, his face streeked with tears.

<Gabriel> "Tamahome.... would never...."

<Sanosuke> "Would he?" Nuriko asked, sniffling.

<Gabriel> "but then... Tamahome did suggest we go there..... and... he lost to Hotohori... something I cant believe...."

<Sanosuke> "And.... you... really think? My hotohori... and... your?"

<Gabriel> "Why else would have he kept Tamahome and given you to me??"

<Sanosuke> Nuriko started to cry again. "
