Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Fairy Tail

Chapter 2: Taken

It was a normal day in the town of Magnolia. The sun was shining brightly in the sky and the townspeople were happy. And, as usual, Fairy Tail was extremely noisy. Currently, there was a brawl going on between Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, and Elfmen. Natsu had said something to Gray, which started the whole thing. During their battle, Gray hit Gajeel with his ice make hammer, which caused Gajeel to get involved. And Elfmen joined in because he said it was ''unmanly'' not to. Laxis sighed. These guys were so immature. They did the same stuff everyday, fighting over the smallest things. Sure,when he was a teenager he did the same thing, but he was a man now. He didn't have time for such childish things.

''Laxus.'' someone said. Laxus smiled. He knew that voice from anywhere.

''Hey.'' he said, gesturing for the person to sit down. Juvia sat next to him and smiled. Laxus put his arm around her and pulled her close.

''I thought you had to pack for your job.'' Laxus said. Juvia snuggled close to him.

''Juvia wanted to see you. She already finished packing and she wanted to come to the guild.'' Laxus smirked.

''You couldn't stay away from me, huh?'' Juvia punched him on the shoulder.

''Don't get cocky. Juvia wanted to come to the guild too.'' Laxus laughed and pulled Juvia close.

''Sure.'' he replied. They sat in a comfortable silence, just happy to be in each others arms.

They had been dating for six months now. After Juvia recovered from her injuries, they decided to come out with their relationship. The guild was, more or less, shocked. Makarov went to a therapist to make sure that he hadn't gone crazy. Mirajane was crying because she couldn't ship Gruvia now that Juvia was dating Laxus. Lucy and Gray were both reliefed for different reasons. Gray was reliefed because Juvia couldn't bother him anymore and Lucy was reliefed because Juvia would finally stop calling her ''Love Rival''. Erza was upset for the same reason as Mirajane, Gajeel thought that the world was going to end, and Natsu was very confused. Oh, and lets not forget about the Thunder Legion. Evergreen was annoyed, Freed was completely hysterical, and Bixlow being Bixlow, couldn't stop with all the perverted questions. ''How's the sex?'' and ''How big is Laxus?'' were his favorites. The only people that were actually happy to see them together was Lisanna, Wendy, and Levy. Yeah, at first it was difficult, but eventually everyone got used to it. Even Freed. But after the shock of them being together died down, the questions started to take its place. Questions like '' How the hell did this even happen?'' and ''Is Juvia going to join the Thunder Legion now?'' Now, Laxus was opposed to the idea of Juvia joining the Thunder Legion, but only because he was worried about how his teammates would react. And to his surprise, they reacted pretty well to the idea.

Evergreen was estatic about the idea of Juvia joining the Thunder Legion, which surprised Laxus. He thought that she would react the worst. But she was surprisingly welcoming. She said it would be nice to have another girl in the group. She said that she was surrounded by too much testosterone and she was sick and tired of being around men all the time. Bixlow also didn't have any problems with Juvia joining them. But, of course, he had to be a total pervert about it. H said that if Juvia joined him, than maybe she would be willing to have a threesome with him and Evergreen. Evergreen turned him to stone and Juvia was so red and embarrassed that she passed out. After that incident, Laxus made sure to never leave Juvia alone with Bixlow. And then there was Freed. Now, Laxus was worried about him. Freed was loyal to a fault, but sometimes he took it too far. Not only that but Juvia and Freed weren't exactly the best of friends. Even after Juvia joined Fairy Tail, Freed still considered her a Phantom mage. So naturally, Laxus was a little bit concerned about how he would take it. But just like the rest of his team, Freed took the news pretty well. He said that he and Juvia buried the hatchet a long time ago, so he was completely fine if she wanted to join them. So, after that was resolved, Laxus thought that it would be okay if Juvia joined the Thunder Legion. Too bad Juvia didn't seem to think so. She said that Laxus had been with the Thunder Legion for so long that they had formed a special bond. And because of the special bond that he had with his teammates, Juvia felt that she would be intruding on them. And she said that she worked better alone, so she really didn't have to join a team. And Laxus was completely fine with that. If Juvia didn't want to join the Thunder Legion than he wouldn't force her. And all that happened in the first month that they were together.

After being together for six months, everyone has gotten used to the idea of them as a couple. Although, some people still wanted to know what happened on their job together six months ago that started their relationship. But Laxus always ignored the questions. He didn't like to talk about everything that happened with Zander. It made him and Juvia uncomfortable. Especially Juvia. She would sometimes have nightmares about the whole thing. So whenever the subject was brought up, Laxus made sure to be as vague as possible. He didn't want to bring up bad memories for Juvia. After some point everyone just dropped the whole thing so Laxus really wasn't concerned about it anymore. Zander was being held in a maximum security prison, so they nothing to worry about. At least, that's what he thought. Too bad he didn't know the truth.

A chair crashed on the wall next to them, startling the couple. Laxus growled.

''Fucking idiots. They can't go one damn day without fighting.'' Laxus mumbled. Juvia sighed.

''You know how it's like at this guild. This kind of stuff happens everyday.''

''Yeah, and it's annoying.'' Laxus said. Juvia smiled.

''At least it's never boring here.'' Juvia replied.

''I guess you're right about that.'' Laxus agreed. It was quiet between them again.

They weren't the type of couple that talked a lot. Laxus wasn't much of a talker and Juvia was naturally shy, so they didn't talk very much. But they never felt a need to be very talkative like other couples. They just liked to be in each others presence. They didn't need a lot of words to get their point across. You know what they say, actions speak louder than words.

Juvia and Laxus were sitting there quietly, until Team Natsu decided to sit right across from them.

''What do you guys want?'' Laxus asked.

''We just wanted to say hi. And Natsu wants to apologize for throwing that chair.'' Lucy said, turning to look at Natsu. When Natsu didn't say anything, she elbowed him on the shoulder. Natsu cried out and clutched his shoulder.

''I'm sorry.'' he mumbled, glaring at Lucy.

''Apology accepted Natsu-san.'' Juvia said.

''When are you two moving in together?'' Erza blurted out, startling everyone at the table. Laxus was the first to recover from his shock.

''I don't see how that is any of your business.'' Laxus responded, giving Erza a glare.

''I'm just curious. You guys have been together for six months. Surely you guys have thought about it.''

''Actually, we haven't thought about it yet. We've only been together for six months.''

''Exactly my point.'' Erza replied.

''Erza, mind your own business. Juvia and I will move in when we're good and ready. Now if that's all, you guys can leave. You're starting to annoy me.'' Laxus said. Juvia glared at him.

''Well, Juvia has to get ready for her job. She will see you guys in a few days.'' Juvia said, standing up.

''You're leaving now?'' Laxus asked. Juvia nodded.

''Yeah. Juvia will see you in a few days.'' Juvia gave Laxus a quick kiss on the lips before leaving the guild. Natsu snickered.

''Look at you two, being all lovey-dovey. It's funny.''

''Shut up.'' Laxus turned on his sound pod and closed his eyes. Team Natsu took the hint and left. Laxus sighed. At least no one will bother him for the time being.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Juvia slowly made her way from the guild to the Fairy Hills. Her train will be leaving in a hour so she had to hurry if she was going to make it in time. As Juvia was approaching the Fairy Hills, she felt this weird sensation, like someone was watching her. Juvia shook her head. 'It's probably nothing.' Juvia thought. She walked into the Fairy Hills and started walking to her dorm. When she got to her dorm, she immdiately knew that something was wrong. Everything was where she left it but she couldn't help but feel that something was not right. Juvia surveyed the area. Nothing seemed out of place. Juvia sighed and let down her guard. 'It's just the nerves.' she thought. Just as she was about to get her belongings, she felt a hand over her mouth. Juvia screamed and tried to move away, but the person injected her with something. Juvia suddenly felt weak. She collasped onto the floor, unconsious. Zander smirked.

''I told you that I would get my revenge.'' Zander lifted Juvia over his shoulders. He opened Juvia's window and jumped out. Yukkia was waiting for him outside.

''So, this is the girl you are so obsessed with?'' Yukkia said, giving Juvia the once-over.

''Humph. I don't know what you see in her. She looks pretty plain to me.''

''Just shut up and lets go. We can't afford to stay here for long. Someone could see us.'' Zander said, and started walking away from the Fairy Hills with Yukkia right behind him. Zander smiled darkly.

''Everything is falling into place. You should have never crossed me, Laxus Dreyar.''
