Animosity and Affection
Chapter One
________________________________
"Mom? Are you home?"
Valgarv knocked a little harder on the door this time,
nearly losing his
balance in the process. He glanced down at the
unconsious female in his
arms. The frail looking girl certainly didn't look her
weight. Steadying himself, he gently set the readhead
on the ground, and
pulled a pair of dangling keys from his back pocket.
He unlocked the door and picked her up again with a
grunt. Kicking the door
closed behind him, Val remembered that his mother had
gone out to sell her
clay 'works of art' in the market. He set the girl on
the sofa, and went to
fetch a basin from the bathroom. 'In fact,' Val
thought to himself as he
pulled out a towel, 'she should be home pretty soon.'
Suddenly, he heard a loud groan from the living room,
followed by a faint
grumble of 'Where am I?"
Val felt relieved and quickly brought the basin out.
The redhead was rubbing
her eyes and yawning continuously.
"How are you feeling?"
She (whom we should by now recognise as Lina Inverse)
looked up and made an
attempt to focus on the blurry object before her.
Slowly, the aqua waves
shaped into hair and the fuzzy peach into a familiar
looking face. She
blinked hard. 'Who....?' she wondered for a moment.
Then it hit her.
"Va...Va...???" she stuttered pointing a finger in his
face.
"Um...Do... you feel any better? You've been
unconscious quite some time."
"Fireball!" A huge ball of fire hit the ryuzoku hard
in the chest and he was
thrown back against the mantelpiece behind him. A vase
came flying to the
ground only inches from where his leg lay. "****!" he
muttered under his breath. "What the **** was that
for?" he shouted to the
mesmerised girl.
If she had heard him, she didn't make any reply.
Actually, she was
concentrating hard on the possible explanations why
Valgarv was here.
Millions of reasons flew through her mind.
'Ressurection(sp)? His twin?
Koppi...? Koppi! That's it,' she decided. 'Some idiot
has created a koppi of
******* Valgarv and now he's here to avenge that
stupid Gaav. AGAIN!'
As Lina continued to stand there unmoving like a
statue, Val moved to
retrieve the remains of the fallen vase. "Oh ****," he
cussed. "You broke my
mother's-... SHIELD!"
"Freeze Arrow!! Fireball Fireball FIREBALL! Fireball!"
Each attack she used evaporated into Val's shield like
water; (which was
meant actually to discourage her, but) only motivated
her to use stronger
spells.
"Diga Bolt! Aqua Flash!!"
"STOP IT!" Valgarv yelled over her spells and their
destruction. "What are
you doing?! Stop it NOW!"
As if she suddenly decided to oblige him, her spells
immediatedly ceased. He
gave a sigh of relief and took his shield down. He
made a mental note to
never take some unconscious female he didn't know home
ever again.
"...Hey?"
She mumble something in reply, her head downcast.
"Sorry? I can't hear you..."
"Crimson from blood that flows, buried in the flow of
time..."
Val sweatdropped and took a step back. 'The dragon
slave...?!'
"Those who oppose us shall be destroyed by the power
you and I-"
Lina was interrupted as he charged straight into her
and pinned her down by
the shoulders. "WHAT IS YOUR MOTHER******* PROBLEM?!
You've destroyed my
living room, and then you try to dragon slave my
home?!"
She struggled hard under his grip to no avail. "Let go
of me!" she spat. "No
one treats Lina Inverse like this! Especially some
fool like you!"
He snorted. "I've never heard of some violent,
flat-chested girl like you!"
"How dare you- you-"
"How dare I what? And why are you crying?! I'm the one
who should be upset
here! How am I ever going to repair all of this?!"
Lina clenched her teeth and narrowed her eyes into
slits. "Get off me NOW,
Valgarv."
His grip loosened slightly. "Wha- How'd you know my-"
He was cut off by the sound of the front door opening.
Both turned their
heads to see a shocked Filia.
"What on EARTH has happened in here?! And just what
are you... Oh. Oh my."
"god... Filia?"
"Oh my god. Lina?"
Val swallowed nervously. "Oh god. You know this fire
eating thing?"
Lina released the breath she had been holding. "Oh
thank god! Filia, please
help me! Get him off me PLEASE!!"
Filia shook her head several times in confusion.
"Valgarv. What are you
doing atop of Lina?!"
