This is a story written by Amber (Anya) Draper in the year of 2000 on January 13th. Sunday at almost 7:00 is when writing comensed. This story is taken from the Anime show Slayers, Slayers Next, Slayers Try and Slayers End. Slayers End is my story. It is the resolution to the entire Slayers series. In my story a girl from the year 1999 in Oklahoma in this reality is sent by L-Sama whirling to fix the Slayer realm and ends up falling in love with one of the Slayers. Zelgadis Greywards, an 18 yr. old Chimera . (no, he's not human, but he's hot.) The four weary travelers entered the inn, exhausted from the long, tiring journey that Lina Inverse, the worlds greatest, not to mention youngest, sorceress in the known worlds had dragged them on just for an all you can eat for a shilling buffet. Amelia was about to faint, Zelgadis was about to scream, yes, scream, Gourry was about to kill his horse for food and Lina was as happy as a Jay bird to be going this far for such a good price on a good meal, and entertainment was included...however, the others were not as thrilled. Sabrina Carthon had been thrown into the Slayers world, which didn't seem so great anymore, for over two months and hadn't seen a thing. And working for thirty silver peices a show at the Savanna's All You Can Eat Buffet And Entertainment Lodge wasn't making it any better. She had been hired to sing four nights a week for that much. That was less than a peice a song. No cute guys had come in and she was getting really restless because it had been her dream to see and meet the entire Slayers gang all her life. Lina Inverse, Gourry Gabriev, Zelgadis Greywards, Amelia Wil Telsa Sailuine, Xellos....whatever his last name was (Metallium), and that Martina chic. Whatever her last name was. Anyways, she had gotten to meet L-Sama, also known as the female god, which wasn't so bad considering God had turned out to be a woman! Yes! Cool. Well, tonight, she hoped, was the last show so that she could take her silver and be ON HER WAY! Little did she know, her entire life was about to change. Well, I mean more than it has already, duh! "We're here!" Lina Inverse startled the rest of her crew with her rude outburst. "Oh, it's about time..." Zelgadis huffed and followed the pigout group into the lodge. "Savanna's...what a name." "Ladies and gentlmen!" A loud voice boomed over the microphone on stage. "If you would all take a seat and give me your attention! It is time for our daily show! We are lucky to have Sabrina and hope she stays with us to share her wonderful talent! This voice, men, will have you melting in your seats like butter and the ladies will go green with envy!" Zel was about to leave, but hearing this decided to stay, after all it was a rarety to see Lina green with anything but anger. Drums rolled and soft music started up which turned into a song none of them had heard before. (This was due to the fact that Sabrina had introduced alot of "new" songs from her world to the entertainment lodge. Chain of Fools played and a leg snuck out of the curtains on the side. Sabrina sheepish inside now, danced provocatively and started to sing in a most beautiful, deep, sexy and VERY provocative voice.) >>For Five long years, I thought you were my man, But I found out, I'm just a link in your chain... you got me where you want me, I ain't nothin' but your fool, You treated me mean, oh, you treated me cruel, Chain chain chain, chain of fools (As the chorus of the song came, three girls behind her with less-than- attractive voices, joined in. Zel's mouth was by now parted in awe and a slight grin could be seen. Amelia immediatley noticed this and slapped it shut, recieving a look from Zel that was less than happy.) Every chain, has got a weak link! I might be weak, child, but I give a-you strength! You told me to leave you alone My mother said come on home, my doctor said to take it easy, But your loving is a-much to strong, I'm added to your chain chain chain of fools (Chorus) One of these mornings the chain is gonna break, But up until then, yeah, I'm gonna take all I can take, (chorus) (As the music went to a slow, applause filled the room and the girl took a bow. Zel couldn't help but smile at how cute she looked.) "Now, here is one for all those girls who are in love with someone who doesn't love them. I should know, I've had that happen one too many times to me..." Sabrina grinned sheepishly and Amelia glared angirly over at Zel, then huffed, stood and walked over to another table, where she was quickly joined by the phazing Xellos. "Xellos! What do you want?" She stared over at Zel, then back at Xellos and, much to his surprise, smiled propping her chin up on her arm. " I mean, how are you?" Zel knew this was one of her futile attepts to make him jealous. He looked back up at the stage and saw Sabrina was gone. He quickly looked around and noticed, that not only was everyone staring at him with a smile, but there was a spotlight just above his head. Suddenly a soft hand came down on his shoulder and breath from a mouth close to his cheek whispered in a sweet voice, "Quite a crush that one must have on you..." Her voice was so soft and tender, Zel leaned back a bit, forgetting where and who he was, then suddenly jerked up. A smooth small hand took his and pulled him gently up from the chair he was in. "I think I have myself a stage partner. What do you think?" Sabrina giggled softly as she spoke to the crowd. Zel couldn't have gotten any redder than he was now...or so he thought. He couldn't or wouldn't protest as she led him up the stage and gestured for him to sit in a chair, of which she abruptly sat on his lap when he did. She wrapped her arm around him and looked at the tan cover on his head, smiling. She pressed her lips to the microphone and began, in a hushed soothing voice that Zel loved, to sing. When you just give love..... And never get love... You'd better let love depart, (pause) I know that it's so, and yet I know..... (Sabrina turned a bit toward the audience, leaning back in his lap as she sang to them) I can't get you out of my heart.........oh! You, you made me leave my happy home, You took my love and now, your gone gone gone, (With these words Sabrina stood and walked around behind Zel , Leaning in close to his face.) Since I fell for you. Oh, love......brings such myyyysery and pain. oh, I guess I'll never, Guess I'll never be the same, Since I fell for you, (Her voice got louder and she walked across the stage entertaining certain veiwers and Zel watched smiling as she bent over to sing to one little boy) Oh, well it's to bad, Oh, and it's to sad But I'm in love with you, oh you loved me, oh, then you snubbed me, oh, But what can I do, I'm still in love with you! (She sang the chorus a second time and came back to sit on Zel's lap, smiling up at his Chimeric face as she did. Zel was shocked that she had responded by smiling instead of freaking out or screaming or jumping up or something. Carefully, she leaned in under his hood and gently kissed his lips, then helped him up and back to his seat. After the show, everyone was leaving and Sabrina was putting up her stuff, when she noticed that Zel was one of the last ones out. "Wait!" She yelled after him. He immediatly turned around and waited for her to dart down the steps. By then, everyone else in the tavern was gone and the cleaning crew were there. "I just wanted to....." She paused."Could you take off your hood.... please?' Zel sighed and lifted his hood. She immediatley smiled. "Thanks. I wanted to say thanks. I usually don't get so many subjective 'volunteers'. "She giggled a bit. To Zel's total amazement, she quickly reached up, having to pull his head down to hers (since she was considerably shorter) and pressed her lips to his in a long passionate kiss. When she let go, Zel's eyes were larger than ever. She laughed and waved, then trotted off behind the stage, leaving Zel in a state of total pause. Lina had to come in and drag Zel out, still stunned. Once Sabrina entered her dressing room, she backed against the door, sighing, then saying to herself."YES!" She suddenly had a thought. Knowing Lina and the others they would not be there long. "Oh, no! I have to hurry!!!!" she whispered and quickly got redressed into a blue tank top and white jean shorts. She packed her things in a hurry and left a note of resignation saying that she couldn't say why, but she had another path to follow right now and they would find another singer, then quickly rushed out of the inn with a backpack on her back. She rushed after the group now leaving the city. "WAIT! PLEASE WAIT!!!!" Sabrina's voice caught the attention of the group who were now just outside the city. Lina turned and saw Sabrina not dressed up rushing towards them and they waited. Sabrina leaned over for a moment catching her breath, the looked back up at Lina, brushing her hair from her eyes. "Wait. (huff) I-(pant) I want to ask...please let me come with you." "What?" Lina raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, I wanna travel the world with the greatest sorceress and her gang and blow up bandits and stuff and steal lots of money from them with you." Sabrina huffed. Lina smiled at the mention of money. "Oh, I like her." "I don't." Amelia mumbled under her breath. "What's the matter, Amelia? Jealous?" Zel said, almost laughing. "UH!" Amelia looked at him in shock. "Oh, "Sabrina gave him a look. "Don't tease her." she turned to Amelia. "I'll bet your the missunderstood and underestimated one, huh?" Amelia's eyes shot up. "Y-yeah. How'd you know?" "I can tell these things, dear. Here, let me see your palm." Sabrina said walking up to her. End for now..........
