Evil Thoughts



Spoiler Warning: Contains some spoilers involving the Slayers TV series and maybe a bit about Slayers Next... not big ones but they are there.


Sariah sat typing up a storm at her computer. Every so often she would stop and giggle a bit and then return to pounding the keyboard. Her grin and eyes continued to get wider and more wild until...

"She's really scaring me now," muttered Kaoru peeking through the open door.

"Just now she's starting to scare you?" responded Chiriko.

Kaoru jumped. He had snuck up on her. She nodded in response to his question.

"You should see her when she really gets going on something... and since she decided that I'm her muse, I have to sit through it all. <Sigh>"

"Even that one about Soujiro and... well... you know..." Kaoru blushed.

Chiriko looked uncomfortable and muttered, "I'm not really supposed to talk about that..." and then even quieter, "I can't believe she made me sit in the corner that entire time..."

Kaoru sweatdropped.

"Well, anyway," she continued. "We need to get her to stop. She's starting to look like Enishi now..."

"But who would be dum... um... brave enough to approach her like this?"

"Hey guys! Do you know if there are any more boxes to take out to the moving truck for Becky?"

Kaoru and Chiriko turned around to see Ryouga. Both sweatdropped.

"They finished moving everything two days ago... where have you been?" asked Chiriko.

Ryouga put his hand behind his head and looked a little embarrassed. (You know... that oh-so-cute pose he does! ^__^)

"Well... I couldn't find the car and I looked around for it for a while but then I ran into Becky and she took the boxes I had and I turned around and she was gone so I looked for her and then I ended up here..."

Both Kaoru and Chiriko sighed. Then, Kaoru got and idea. She caught Chiriko's eye and pointed at Ryouga, then at Sariah. A look of comprehension showed on the young seishi's face and he nodded. Both turned to Ryouga radiating cuteness.

"You know," cooed Kaoru at the now uncomfortable looking Ryouga, " you should probably go in there and say hello to Sariah-san."

"Yes," added Chiriko. "She hasn't seen you in days and probably misses you."

The pair started to nudge Ryouga toward the open door.

"In fact," continued Kaoru, "I think you should greet her right _now_!"

The "now" was punctuated with a firm "helping hand" into the room. That finished, Kaoru and Chiriko went back to their original peeping positions.

However, Ryouga was now sprawled across Sariah's bedroom floor. He looked up just as Sariah turned to stare at him, still with the maniacal gleam in her eyes.

"Ryouga! Long time no see! Do you want to hear about my new fic idea? Of course you do! Ohohohohoho!"

Behind the doorjamb, Chiriko and Kaoru winced at the laugh.

'It's worse than I thought,' mused Chiriko.

Ryouga was paralyzed with visions of black roses.

In no time, Sariah had dragged the hapless boy over to the computer and started into her speech.

"Look at this idea! Its sooooo great! It's a fusion of RK and Slayers... see the genius/enemy of all who live sorceress Kaoru Inverse and her traveling companions Kenshin Gabriev- the lovable, slightly dim-witted master swordsman, Aoshi Greyweyrs (or however that's spelled) the obsessive, stone-faced, yet strangely attractive chimera, and Misao Wil Tesla Sailune the oniwabanshu princess fight the minions of Ruby-Eyed Shishio... or maybe Shishio the Red Priest (then Yumi could be Eris...) hmmm... nah... it'd have to be Ruby-Eyed Shishio so that in the second season <at this point Ryouga's eyes have begun to glaze over as Sariah talks at him at high speed> we can have the group travel with Soujiro the Trickster Priest blah blah blah and Okina could be Prince Phil blah wonder what Aoshi would look like in drag blah blah Hellmaster Yahiko blah blah blah then third season blah blah blah Tae as Firia blah blah <about now Kaoru and Chiriko's eyes have glazed over> blah blah blah did the OVA's blah blah Megumi as Naga blah blah blah blah it would probably end up being really long and would take me awhile to do blah..."

Kaoru's head snapped up at that. Quickly rising to her feet and boldly entering the room, Kaoru leveled her bokken at the babbling Sariah.

'Where'd that come from,' thought Chiriko staring at the bokken as he regained awareness.

"I can't let you do that!" stated Kaoru interrupting Sariah mid-rant.

Ryouga looked at Kaoru in silent thanks as he lost consciousness.

"Why?" Sariah asked, perturbed at being interrupted just as she was getting going.

"You have other projects to work on! You have to finish them before you can start on anything else!"

"But but but... this would be so fun..."

"You have to finish your _project_! You've been procrastinating so long!"

"Sariah-san..." interjected Chiriko, "why do you always have to do RK stories... maybe you should try to write an FY one... starring some of the more underdeveloped characters possibly..."

"So she could write about you!?!" responded Kaoru.

"Well... yeah... if she wanted to. I mean, I'm her muse and I do half the work... I should have some say in it."

"But she has to finish the _project_!!!"

"Personally," interrupted Xellos as he popped in smiling from nowhere, "I think she should do the fusion... it would bring in so many fun people to play with..."

"AAARRRGGGGHHH!!!!!"screamed out Sariah in frustration. "I can't write with all of you arguing in here! I'm not going to get anything done tonight!"

Having said that, Sariah stalked out the door.

As one, all present (and conscious) LIAC asked, "What'd I say?"



Fin.

Author's Notes: The title is what I call silly little fic ideas like the one featured here and the resulting chaos is pretty close to the (mostly) internal dialogue I go through when I actually think of turning them into stories. All that and I managed to fit in a reference to one of Xellos's image songs! Spiffy, ne... oh well... let me know what you think!
