Chapter 1

When does stuff not happen?!

It was a clear spring day. Only a few stray wispy clouds were in sight. Birds were singing a gentle breeze was blowing, etc. etc. ...that would not last long at all. Especially with Lina Inverse in the general vincity.

KaBOOOOOOM!!!!!! And just like that the simple little town of Besaid was literally thrown into a panic. Some said it was the end of the world, some said it was the start of a war, but in all actuality it was just a typical day in the life of Lina Inverse and Gourry Gabriev.

The once proud "Prancing Pony Inn" was decimated with two little words (two hints it begins with "fire" and ended with "ball")

"Gourry, I thought you said that you were going to take care of it this time!!!!!" Lina Inverse sorceress supreme yelled over her shoulder at her long time companion/protector/whatever. All the while running and managing to also side step an arrow that was aimed directly at her.

"Lina! You said you were going to pick up the tab if I paid for the supplies!!" Although Gourry was well over six feet tall and built like brick house, has long blond hair, buns as hard as rock (author drools all over the keyboard)… AHEM back to the story … He was dumber then a box of rocks 99.9 of the time. Unfortuntletly for Lina this time around it was that .01.

"Of all the time to remember what I say!" "Why did you have to pick now?" Lina huffed in annoyance.

"Look it's not my fault! Yippee!!!!" Gourry replied as he picked himself off of the cobblestone street. They were currently headed out of the city when an assault of arrows headed their way curiosity of Besaid city guard. "How did the heck did the city guard find us so fast anyway?"

"Who knows? Let's just get out of here as soon as we can."

The two were soon out of the city gates and on the main road that leads away from the city. With the Besaid city guard still hot on there trail.

5 min. later still behind them…

10 min. later still there…

15 min. later still close on there tail…

"Don't these guys ever give up?!!" Gourry wheezied out. Most of the mobs that chased them (and there have been a lot) usually gave up after 10 min. at the most. But these guys were just insane! There was no getting rid of them!

"Damn it! Screw this! BOM DI WIND!" Lina turned and sent the blast of hurricane force air from her tiny hands in to the barrage of guards that was currently trailing them. One second there was 20 guards no more then 15 feet behind them the next, there was 20 guards no more then let's see… about 100 ft in the air. Yeah that sounds about right.

Lina faced the falling guards with her hands on her hips and began her speech "Serves you right for messing with the beautiful, talented, sorceress supreme..."

"Don't forget flat chested, short tempered…"

"FIRE BALL"

"As I was saying before I was interrupted, Lina Inverse… What the heck!!!!!!! The sorceress in question was standing in the same placed but with her mouth handing open and actually speechless for once. (I know a shock isn't it)

"Uh?" Was Gourry's most thought out response? He was just managing to get up from his latest meeting with his best friend "Lina's Fireball."

Much to Lina's dismay the fallen guards were actually getting back on there feet, and did not look like they had just plummeted to their demise from one of Lina's well placed Bom Di Wind's. In fact they looked rather well… how can I put it? They looked like nothing had happed to them at all. Defiantly not your normal city guard's that for sure. "No freaking way is that possible! Are you guys on steroids are something?"

"Hey Lina? What's a stirtoid? Is it a pickle?" Gourry was currently trying to shake off his grilled chicken look (thanks to Lina).

"No you jellyfish brain it's not a pickle. It's a… oh never mind, let's just get out of here."

Lina quickly turns around and high tails it out of there. There is no way that I can blast the crap out of them now. I'm already losing my power as it is. This is sooo not the time for the freaky guard squad for Hades!

"Oi, Lina wait up!" Gourry hollered to her has he jumped up ran to catch up with her.

SSSWISHHHHHHHH

"What was that?"Ask Gourry he finally matched her stride.

"Don't know don't care as long as it ain't us" Lina looked over her shoulder just out of curiosity.

oooooooooooooooo

There was nothing there. Period no chasing guard, no bodies nothing. It was like they had not even been there. Lina was never one to look a gift horse in the mouth. She promptly spun back and chased after Gourry.

Little did Lina and Gourry know there savior from the evil guards from Hades is someone that they do not even know…well sort of?

'Lina Inverse… that is a name I will have to remember. I guess his Lordship was right. You really do need a protector after all.'

Dun dun dunnnnn

Xellos: oh pooh! I thought you were going to put me in this one?!
