Hi this is Mj, Fairy Tail is still going but it will be a roughly monthly update each chapter. This may contain some explicit content and mentioned interaction but none will partake in this story. This is a Rogura and partially Stingyu story with mentioned other ships.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Sweat dripped along his forehead, his instincts driving him to seek and search out his mate, each season they would get stronger and stronger, but now at the age of 23 these instincts were driving him crazy. Rogue had no idea how many more mating seasons he could go on for, before the instincts went into overdrive. A month of mating season had since past as of the second full moon marking the middle of season, during a full moon a dragon slayer is more powerful and as such is more likely to harm his or her mate so as such dragon slayers tend to avoid mating on full moons. But as that full moon had past one more month remained before the first week of June and then this nightmare would be over for another two years. Rogue knocked on the door of guild master's office, who was his brother in magic and team mate Sting Eucliffe the current guild master of Sabertooth. He opened the door to expect his team mate to be watered in sweat and growling lightly at the pain of suppressing is instincts but instead he saw Sting upright and scanning through his large selection of paper work. Rogue stood in shock at the view, why was Sting so calm and so relaxed, either he had learnt so amazing magic trick to dissipate the instincts or Sting had mated the night before as yesterday Sting was half dead over his desk moaning in agony.

Rouge slammed his hands down on the oak desk in front of him, and sent papers flying everywhere much to Sting's annoyance. "Hey, I just spent the best part of an hour filing through those papers." He growled under his breath.

"Who?" Rogue growled in pain and desperation.

"What?" Sting answered bluntly showing why Natsu was his hero as they were just as dense as each other.

"Don't play dumb Sting who did you mate with last night?" Rogue gasped, panting as building up anger when against a ticking emotional time bomb is certainly not a good idea. Why would his friend be stupid enough to mate with anyone let alone last night?

"Oh that, she was a real killer and I had a lot a fun, but it's going to be weird knowing I'm going to be father in nine months. Seriously the shock in her eyes when I told her that no matter what happens in mating the female will always get pregnant, she was a little shocked but she went through with it in the end. But man this feels amazing without any instincts weighing me down, Rogue you need to do it I now know what Natsu meant that it was like your soaring through the clouds at sunset it is amazing." He finished his rant and started smirking, his fangs threating to show, cocky bastard.

"I think I'll pass, I at least want to be in a relationship before I mate with anyone and if I recall you weren't dating anyone which is just bad, did she even consent or did you just go crazy?" he glared down at this so called best friend of his.

"Of course I asked her out before hand and she agreed to mate with me. Look I know I can be a jerk but I'm not that much of a jerk." Rouge simply shook his head. "Look man you can't hold out much longer, just mate with her already it's not going to kill you." He continued on.

"No way, I don't even know who my mate is?" Rogue confessed feeling slightly less mature considering his friend was mated with someone already and was now starting a family.

"Are they in the guild?" Sting inquired.

"More than likely I mean I feel very connected so it would make sense. I guess it could be Yukino." Rogue confessed, still unsure of who his mate to be was until two hands grabbed him by the top of his cloak and two blazing azure eyes grasped his vision. "Oh hell no." His friend growled with his fangs sharpened and his gaze bloodthirsty. "She is my mate and if you even touch a single hair on her head. Friend or not you are dead, got that?" Rogue swallowed and saw for the first time what a mated dragon slayer will act like to the very idea of their mate being threatened, total possessiveness. There instincts become one and they fall undying in love with their mate bound to them for eternity and fall into a rage when a competitor comes anywhere near them. To tell the truth that was another reason why Rogue had no wish to partake in mating as he had no wish to turn out like that.

Rogue clasped Sting's hands and removed them from the collar of the cape. "Don't worry I have no intention of mating with anyone. I'm going to leave for few days as that's what I came her tell you I think my mind I telling me to go to Anemone Town, I think it will be good for me. I'll see you later Sting." Rogue bowed and left the office leaving confused Sting and a floor tiled in spilled important documents.

Rogue walked down stairs leading to the main hall where two double doors opened up to the guild's thrown room where Sting would sit to listen to business meetings and council problems. Another set of double doors just along the hall lead to the guild's swimming pool, even though they now knew they weren't the only guild to have one. The pool was currently closed because of heater problems that weren't going to be fixed until the next day. He reached the end of the corridor and opened the brown door that lead to the main bar and restaurant area when he collided with a smaller person. Catching their hand, he met her gaze. "Yukino what are you doing here?" he questioned he took note of her neck and saw a white dragon circle around in a circle upon it and it hit him, Sting had mentioned that he had mated with Yukino the night before and the mark was all the evidence that he needed.

"I wanted to see the master, I mean Sting, I mean-" she fumbled around for her words trying to keep hidden the fact that she hadn't addressed Sting as the master and yet trying to still convince herself that they were now lovers. "You mated with him right?" He asked bluntly and watched as Yukino's face erupted a right red in colour at his outburst. "How?" She squeaked out completely embarrassed at his comment. "Sting told me." Rouge mumbled and she nodded in response and hurried down the hall stumbling at her lack of balance from the night's activities she had partaken in. 'Did he have to be so rough with her?" he thought to himself with a sigh, it was a strange idea to believe that in nine months' time a little Eucliffe would be crawling around.

Rogue entered the dining area and started to head in the direction of the door when a small pink frog cat creature clasped onto his cape. "Rogue." He cried out as Rogue picked up Frosch and felt his face soften a smile danced on his face as the cute little Exceed hugged him. "Frosch I need you to be a good boy while I'm gone okay?" He smiled placing the frog cat down a nearby table. The little cat started to ball up in tears. "I'm only going to be gone for a few days, promise, I'm coming back I just need some time to myself." He wrapped the cat up in a hug. "Can I trust you to keep a close eye on Sting for me, you know he's an idiot." Rogue laughed as the small cat saluted as skipped over to his Exceed friend, Lector. Rogue smiled at the small cat and exited the guild hall walk towards Anemone town.

The train hissed with smoke pouring out of the funnel, Kagura Mikazuchi exited the train and tucked her sword within her belt as her boots hit the cobbled pavement, sighing as she thought back to how unsuccessful her mission had been that day. It turns out that he client didn't have any thieves to deal with and only wanted one of the only female mages of Mermaid Heel to 'satisfy' him much to Kagura's disgust leaving that man with no hope of any descendants. She growled at the thought that a man as that actually existed. Kagura herself had never been on a date nor had she ever kissed a boy despite being twenty-seven years of age, she had to find a man who was as strong, reliable and loving as her deceased older brother and a man who could fill the whole left in her heart. These days Kagura felt alone, most members of her guild where married, dating or in some sort of romantic relationship even Millianna the loveable cat girl was seeing someone just as cat crazy. Two years had passed since the war and Kagura had yet to find a man, even Erza had recently got married to Jellal of all people and they currently had a son by the name of Reiki. Kagura did have to admit being a godmother was rather enjoyable and her godson was extremely cute with his bright brown round eyes and flawless scarlet locks and he easily could be his father's red haired clone even sharing the same birthmark on his cheek same eye, same pattern and all. Kagura wished that maybe one day she would have a child of her own, preferably a daughter of strength, someone to carry on the Mermaid Heel way.

Kagura didn't want to return to the guild and decided she need a drink to wind herself down, even though she didn't really to partake in drinking alcohol after a day like that day she need a good shot or something. She walked along the coastal path noticing a man dressed in a cloak groaning in agony. "Are you okay?" She said running towards him with the sound of her boot marking her way, he stoic voice sounded strangely calming to the hunched over male who's blood red eyes caught a glance of the woman running towards him, a woman with such beauty that he had never seen before, her dark purple locks flowing in the salty breeze. She reached the male and placed a hand on his back and felt him jolt with some impulse as he stiffened at her touch. She helped him down to the ground and caught glimpse of his face. "Wait your Rogue of Sabertooth, aren't you?" She demanded in her common way. The man nodded and continued to stare, what was happen to him and why was he feeling this way? This girl had caused him to feel such a rush of emotion and he felt his heart start pounding and his instincts seemed to flip around and around but he was fighting them so much he had yet to realise the hole he was digging himself into. "Your Kagura aren't you?" He asked which she replied with a solid nod. She helped him up and he brushed himself off. "What brings you to Anemone Town?" she asked in a demanding tone, anyone would think she was being rude but she was trying to be friendly.

"I needed to call off, let's just say it's a dragon slayer thing."

"Are you okay, I mean you looked like you're in pain."

"Oh its nothing really, just dragon slayer thing again."

"I don't know much about dragon slayers but is that normal." She questioned in curiosity.

"Yes, for the most part."

"Well I was just about to get a drink would you be interested in joining me." Where did that come from, Kagura was never one for invitations for anyone let alone boys, she really must be desperate or just really need to way her problems onto someone.

They walked together till they reached a bar, both sat down on a table as the first round of pints came round. "I had no idea you were a drinker." He stated

"I'm not, I just fancied something different after the flop up of today's mission."

"What happened?" He asked bluntly then realised his mistake and swallowed the gulp of beer that her had just swallowed "I mean you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

Kagura thought to herself 'It's was against guild rules to give out details to those outside of the guild about client's jobs or details, but I need to relieve this build-up of stress and tell someone. I mean after seeing what he's like Rogue doesn't seem to be a bad person."

"He tried to pull a fast one." She grumbled and Rogue thought in disgust of that client and still he felt sorry for the guy, having to deal with Kagura of all people when angered. They continued to talk and drink enjoying each other company each thinking that the other wasn't that bad of each other company. Rogue got to the subject of Sting and Yukino avoiding the term mate under any circumstances even though he was far from sober. "They're what?" Kagura bellowed slurred from the alcohol.

"They're having a baby." He commented slurred while he talked. He calmed her down and stopped her rage before she destroyed something and told her that they were in a relationship. The next load of drinks arrived at the table as the alcohol made its way down Rogue's throat he felt his mind start to sleep and felt his instincts start to boil, he started cursing as he could do nothing to stop himself as he realised in that second the reason why he was in Anemone town was because Kagura was his mate. And now the alcohol acted as a cage to his normal mind set which left his bossy down to his inner dragon.

Thanks for reading chapter one. No smuts I'm afraid. Please read and review all comments are much appreciated by me and I'll see you soon.
