Chapter 2

San Francisco, 1325 Prescott St:

Christopher Perry Halliwell curses his little sister out under his breath even if he couldn't blame her for wanting to get out. Their mother was suffocating her, and she would be eighteen at the end of the month. That didn't mean he had to like it though. He had already destroyed the letter she'd left for him, knew damned well she'd made it impossible for herself to be tracked, even by him, which hurt, but he knew it was necessary. Their mother was going to flip out, Wyatt would be pissed, Melinda wouldn't care, the cousins reactions would run the gamut, their aunts would be worried though Aunt Paige would probably understand. Uncle Coop and Uncle Henry would also understand, their father would be worried sick, yet Leah had always been closest to him. He was the one she came to for almost everything, Aunt Paige got the girl stuff, though he was the one that could give her an objective male opinion on things.

Chris could understand that since though he really didn't like this, Leah did happen to have a boyfriend that could also Pyroport, mostly because Leah had taught him. He knew damn well he'd never been given the guy's real name, or even seen his real appearance, all so when the time came his little sister could vanish without a trace. She needed her other half, she had been so vibrant this time around compared to the badass Wyatt timeline. He'd delay telling their family for as long as he could, he owed her that much at the very least.

Magnolia:

Natsu doesn't bother waking Leah up, he just carries her off the train, and Happy flies them to their home. They could head to the guild later on, right now he just wanted to sleep in his own bed with his girlfriend in his arms. Happy curls up in his hammock, Natsu had actually taken the time to clean up since he never knew when his girlfriend would drop by, plus it kept Erza Scarlet from bitching at him. Oh, he knew Leah was going to bitch slap Erza, and then kick her ass since Mirajane didn't knock her down a few pegs anymore. He was getting so sick of Erza's shit too. She treated him like an idiot that couldn't even find his way out of a wet paper bag. He knew she cared in her own way, but having Leah in his life made him realize that Erza was mostly abusive. Gray Fullbuster, his brother in all but blood. Gray he could count on, even if they bickered and rough housed most of the time. Erza seemed to think that she needed to break them up all the damned time!

When noon rolls around Natsu wakes to the smell of bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, and fresh squeezed orange juice. Dear Mavis, his girlfriend was a fucking goddess in the kitchen, she must have woken up much earlier, and gone shopping, pyroporting out to get the groceries. He almost curses when he sees what she's currently wearing, a scoop neck black t-shirt with a flame motif, green cargo shorts, a jacket tied around her waist, one of those jackets that could handle all climates, and survive Fairy Tail, in black as well, along with all terrain, and all climate black and green boots, and she had on a pair of ignition gloves. Instead a low growl emits and she rolls her eyes, " Again, you already have me, Natsu, and we are not making it official until we're in our twenties, or something catastrophic happens as I do not want to be a teenaged mother, got that. Besides, I won dominance rights anyhow. "

Natsu groans, running a hair through his salmon, salmon colored, locks. His hair was not fucking pink, dammit. " Don't remind me, dammit, I still get to be the dominant one at some point. "

Leah rolls her eyes, " Yeah, yeah, Prince of the Fire Dragons, now eat. "

Natsu eats at a normal pace with Leah with him, Happy had already eaten his food, a stern glare from Leah kept him from gorging himself. Then again the fish fillet sandwich she had made him actually filled him up. Only once he was done with breakfast, and after a stern glare from Leah, taken a shower, and changed clothes they head out to the guild. Leah had long since warded his house, though he was really considering making it so Erza couldn't get in. She was really overstepping her bounds lately, and he hoped to hell his girl could get Erza to back down. Natsu has to laugh as she freezes the entire guild, they weren't Wiccans so they froze, well he didn't since she'd marked him, and Happy was on his shoulder. They wend their way through the brawl in progress, and over to the bar before she unfreezes everyone. Mirajane blinks, " How...you were just at the door. "

Leah snickers, " Molecular stasis, you all aren't Wiccans so I can freeze you. "

" Mirajane Strauss, meet my better half, Leah Bennett. " Oh, he knew what name she would be using until she finally took on the Dragneel name.

The entire guild freezes again, including little Romeo Conbolt whom was in asking about his father whom had been missing for a four days, a job that was supposed to take three had run over, " EHHHHHHHHHHH! "

Gray blinks, " Since when do you have a girlfriend, Flame Idiot? "

" That would be telling, Ice Princess, oh, and find your clothes. " Natsu states, " Dragon Slayers only have one mate, I do notice the opposite sex, dammit, I just don't perv out on them like the rest of you idiots do. Loke, you even attempt to flirt with her in a non platonic way I will kill you, got it. "

Loke jolts, Natsu's tone of voice had never changed, but the threat was there, plain enough for everyone to see. Leah on the other hand frowns, and then swears impressively, " You're the lion Zodiac spirit, aren't you? Goddamned Karen Lilica, learned about her stupidity in Magic School. Damn bitch, took on a job when she shouldn't have, and now you're getting punished for it. It was her decision to take that job, her decision to abuse Aries, the Celestial Spirit King is a massive dick for punishing you for human stupidity, and yes I mean every single word. "

All of the guild watches on as the Spirit King arrives, and groans when he sees her. Of course, it just had to be her, " You and your family are too damned stubborn for your own good. "

" Says the massive dick that is punishing the leader of the Zodiac spirits for something well beyond his control! Karen made that damned decision. Maybe if the spirits could break their own damned contracts if their contractor turns out to be abusive this wouldn't be a fucking problem! " Leah fires back.

The Celestial Spirit King actually winces as that point hits home, he hated it when mere mortals had a point, " You are Penny's great-granddaughter aren't, just as much of a ball buster as she was. "

Leah snorts, " I could summon her to talk to you. "

" Loke, Leo, I absolve you of all charges. Leah, you are now his contractor. " The Celestial Spirit King hightails after she threatened to summon her Great-Grams.

Leah bursts out laughing, " Dear Goddess, he's terrified of Great-Grams, oh now I have to summon her, if only to tell her that. "

" Wait, that Penny? " Loke asks as he hands his key to Leah.

" A certain one descended from Melinda Warren, why yes, that is the Penny being referred to. Now, Mirajane, can I have my guild stamp already, mostly so Natsu and I can go get Romeo's dad since the Master is a being a dick about it, I can hear your thoughts, Makarov. He's a little boy worried about his dad whom promised he would be home four days ago. No one is fucking invincible after all. Would it really have been too damned hard to send someone after him? "

The entire guild flinches as one, she had a point, " Where would you like your mark, and what color? "

Leah smiles deviously, and Natsu blanches, " Leah, some place innocent, please. "

" Aw, where's the fun in that? "

Natsu bangs his head on the bar, " Why the hell is my other half a damned tease? "

Leah grins, " Right shoulder, same color as my eyes. "

Natsu bangs his head on the bar again, " You are a devious and conniving bitch, Leah. "

" Why thank you, Natsu, that's probably one of the sweetest, and tamest things that has ever been said about me. " Leah retorts.

" Dammit all to hell, why are your only friends male again? "

" Probably because I'm a vindictive bitch that can't stand prissy little bitches, and the pathetic sluts I've been stuck around. " Leah says contemplatively.

" Let's just go before you scar everyone in the guild for life. " Natsu says.

Leah smirks, " Oh yeah, Master Makarov, I'm the Hell Fire Dragon Slayer. "

Makarov Dreyar pales, and immediately starts crying, Natsu was dating a Hell Fire Dragon Slayer! Dear Mavis, what had he done to deserve this? Why, why did he have to deal with this anyhow? Natsu waits until they're outside of the guild to start laughing his ass off, then he pyroports them to Mount Hakobe, he loved being able to teleport with flames. Thanks to Leah he also remembered everything, had accessed his other half, and they'd gotten the book of E.N.D while also destroying the Tartaros Guild, getting paid handsomely for it, even if they had hidden the Book of E.N.D. Natsu had given it to Leah, whom had placed the same enchantments on it that the Book of Shadows had, only she had made it so only they could touch the book. No way in hell was his stupid assed older brother getting his hands on the book. Leah was already working on a vanquishing potion and spell, one that would need her to go back in time to get Zeref's hair, and blood. Though she did have several lockets ready for the Halliwell family curse as well. If need be she would get the Halliwell ancestors to help her deal with the pain in the ass.

Leah slips her jacket on before they start the trek up the mountain. The blonde really didn't like cold climates, and even with the jacket on she's stilled chilled. Came from living in San Francisco apparently. The jacket must have realized that she had come from a warmer climate, and adjusted accordingly. " You sure you can handle something like this? You come from a place where it hardly ever snows in the winter, Leah. "

Leah rolls her eyes, " The jacket compensated when the magic realized I was chilled. Unlike you I do not want to use my magic to keep myself warm, might need it for something else after all. "

" That and you had to learn how to tone it down too, huh? Keep yourself from being at a normal temperature for someone like you. "

" Very true, Chris, or any of my cousins would have been burned upon contact since Hell Fire is much stronger than regular fire. "

Natsu knew that very well though her true body temperature never bothered him, and she only let it out when it was just the two of them since Happy couldn't take that kind of heat. Natsu could, and he loved it when she let her barriers drop, though he knew if she ever did in a fight that he had better get the hell out of dodge immediately, his intended mate was terrifying when someone finally and fully pissed her off. It was only then that he truly understood what Igneel had meant when he said never piss off a female dragon or female dragon slayer. Oh, he had learned when that succubus went after him. The entire building had incinerated in a mere second even if the succubus hadn't, no, Leah had taken her time with the succubus, to make the message clear that he was hers. Admittedly seeing her assert her claim over him like that had been fucking arousing.

He's briefly confused when Leah pyroports until he sees the Vulcan that went right through where she had been. Leah cocks her head to the side as she gets conflicting thoughts from the Vulcan, " Dammit, I fucking hate Takeover Magic! "

Natsu groans, " Macao, you fucking let yourself get possessed?! "

" Keep him busy, I'm just glad I took all that time to practice Dispell Magic. Though get out of the way when my magic crescendos or you'll be out of magic as well, Natsu. "

Natsu nods at this, he'd sent her the books on Dispell Magic after all. He'd known all along she would end up being his job partner so he'd made sure she could back him up, and support him if necessary. Yes, she may have won the right to be the dominant partner, but all male dragons/dragon slayers will always do whatever they can to protect their other halves. Leah didn't mind when he got possessive whenever they actually could get a date or two in. It meant she didn't have to deal with the horny idiots. Natsu somersaults to his right when he feels her magic reach a fever pitch, and Macao slumps once he's freed from his possession. Leah rolls her shoulders, managing to make her way over to Natsu, and the older Fire Mage, Macao Conbolt.

Macao looks her over, " I see your better half has finally decided to come join you, huh, Natsu? "

" Had to graduate high school and college at the same time, dammit, get a recommendation letter for cooking school, make sure I had a damned good nest egg of money by keeping up with the conversion rates, and ensuring nothing personal of mine was left behind so I couldn't be dragged back, took precautions so I couldn't be summoned home either, all that took time. " Leah retorts, letting Natsu draw her to him. Letting him keep her upright was better than trying to do so herself.

Macao blinks, " Well hell, you really did it right, didn't you? "

" Had to, don't need my well meaning family to fuck things up for me. " Leah states.

Natsu rolls his eyes, " Grab on, Macao, and I'll get us back to Magnolia so you can reassure Romeo you're still alive. "

After pyroporting back, and reuniting Macao with Romeo, Romeo thanking Leah for taking the guild members to task, they head in to find a job to take. Natsu knew Leah eventually wanted to own her own bakery, which was why she was going to be working, and saving as much as she could. Also why she didn't want a baby in the works just yet. Natsu really couldn't blame her for this either.
