Chapter Three- Train Till You Drop
It's been about a week since I (awesomely) defeated Laxus and became part of the Raijinshuu. They wanted me to train a little more before we went out on a job (though I was perfectly ready to go on one anyway…), and train me they did. They didn't let me rest for a second. Well, maybe they did… But it wasn't long enough for me! Everyday, a different member trained me. This chapter will show my 'training week' with each person… Gosh I'm so tired...
o~o~o~o
"Hey, sleepy head! Wake up!" Laxus poked the sleeping girl in the cheek, while she stirred a little.
"Wha…? LAXUS?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?! H-HOW'D YOU EVEN GET IN HERE?!" Hesper screamed, covering herself unconsciously with her covers. Laxus might be her new boss, but she didn't want him to see her in her pajamas.
"Tch. I'm here to train your sorry ass. Get up. First lesson: don't question me." The Lightning Dragon Slayer growled.
"What time is it?"
"Didn't I just say not to f*cking question me?"
"I'm asking the time, not… Ugh, never mind." She looked out her window, seeing that the sun wasn't even up yet. "Any reason why you are up this early? I thought dragons needed their beauty sleep?" She smirked, getting out of her bed, and heading to her bathroom, but not before she was grabbed by the man.
"Secondly; don't mock your boss, especially at five in the f*cking morning." He growled again, having grabbed her top, inches from her face.
"Thanks for the time, stinky breath." She grinned as he growled again, and she headed to the bathroom to shower.
"Yeah, yeah. Just hurry your ass up. I'm doing this for you, you know. I'll be waiting outside. Then we'll head to the training grounds." He left her room, slamming the door on the way out.
"Well, that's what you get for waking me up so early…" She sang to herself as she undressed and got into the shower, taking a little longer than necessary.
o~o~o~o (An Hour Later)
"Why do girls take so f*cking long to get ready?!" Laxus growled as he kicked a random door in the hallway of the girls' dorm. It opened wide, showing a towel cladded, very shocked, and very angry Mirajane, who was getting ready to go and open up the guild.
"L-Laxus?! GET OUT OF THE GIRLS DORM!" She screamed, probably waking every single being within fifty miles, and she slammed her door shut, just as hard as Laxus opened it.
He knew that his gramps would teach him a lesson about this, especially since he was also probably one of those people who woke up. But, hey, at least it was the demon that he saw in a towel, and not any of the other girls. He'd probably like to she her without that towel on…
He shook his head from his pervy thoughts as Hesper burst through her door, fully dressed (while he hid the nosebleed that started), a scared look on her face.
"L-Laxus! I heard a scream! Was that Mirajane! Were you spying on her…?" The girl recovered from her shock and smiled evilly.
"What?! N-No! Third rule: Don't do that face! Let's go…" He growled, flushing a bit, grabbing her by her shirt top again and dragged her backwards out the door.
o~o~o~o (At the Training Grounds…)
"Ok, look. You need to do it like this, not like how you were doing." The Lightning Dragon Slayer said to the shy girl, showing her how to 'properly' kick.
"You just want to see my undies." She grumbled as she did the kick how he showed her, hitting the fighting dummy square in the chest.
"What was that?"
"N-Nothing… What next?" Hesper asked. They had been at the training grounds all day, only to stop for water breaks, lunch and dinner. It was getting pretty late, and she was exhausted.
"Tch. I thought so. Luckily, you're finally done with MY training."
"Wait, YOUR training? Who else do I have to listen to? Aren't you the boss?"
"Yes, but that doesn't mean the others won't have some sort of sh*t to show you too. Now go home already and get some sleep." He pointed toward the exit, and they both left, Hesper heading left, and Laxus right.
Gosh, I hope they don't do the same stupid training like Laxus did. I also hope that they don't wake me up so early… Hesper thought as she yawned, took a shower, and slipped into a new pair of pajamas and into her bed, falling asleep instantly. Luckily she had no dreams that night. I guess Levy really did fix that necklace…
o~o~o~o
"You better wake up unless you want to be a lovely statue in my room, little fairy." Evergreens voice could be heard through Hesper's unconsciousness. The sleeping girl sat bolt upright at the scary feminine voice.
"Oh. Morning Evergreen!" Hesper smiled and waved at the girl. "W-What are we doing today?"
"Well, we are going to work on your lady-ness." The Fairy Mage said matter-of-factly.
"My lady-ness? What the hell is that?"
"That means, you are going to act more lady-like by the end of the day. AND NO CURSING!" She shouted at her, dragging her out the door, and to her own room.
At least the sun was up this time.
o~o~o~o
"Sit up straight!" "Suck in your stomach!" "And stop cursing!" Were some of the 'helpful' hints that Evergreen told Hesper.
They had gone to a fancy restaurant to train the younger girl. Evergreen had dressed the pajama-clad girl into one of her green dresses, which clashed horribly with her hair, and made her barely able to breathe, much less stick out her stomach. The dress was also made for shorter girls, not those who are 5'7"… She wasn't fat or anything, but Evergreen had one of the tinier waists in the guild.
"Isn't this a little much, Ever-chan?" The girl asked.
"No. If you are going to be part of this team, then you need to learn how to act like a lady, and be fancy, like real fairies are supposed to. Also, we seem to get a lot of jobs where we go into fancy places to take down bad guys." The women in a darker green dress addressed the girl.
"Uh, not to be rude or anything, Ever-chan, but I don't think fairies do this at all…"
"Shush! Here comes our dinner!" The girls had been their all day, much to Hesper's disappointment.
The two girls ate, talking merrily (and Hesper slipping in hints about how Elfman would be perfect for Ever, while she got hit on the head with her fan), while the Fairy mage told the Requipt Wings mage some more tips and pointers about being a "lady".
o~o~o~o (A Little Later…)
"Thank you so much for the wonderful evening, Ever-chan! I hope we can do this more often! (Though I don't want to wear one of those dresses ever again…)" Hesper smiled, waving good bye to the fairy loving women as she started to leave her room, they having returned from the restaurant, and Hesper returning the uncomfortably tight and short dress to her. "Oh, and, Ever…?"
"Yes Hesper?"
"Who do I have to be trained by next?"
"You'll have to wait and see!" Evergreen smiled, and evil glint showed behind her glasses. Hesper just shut the girl's door and went to her own room, turning in for the night.
o~o~o~o
Hesper was finally not disturbed for once while sleeping, which was good, because she didn't like waking up early. But, something seemed off this morning. The air around her was… different, like she was trapped in a box. Freed definitely had something to do with this…
"Ah, good. You're awake. Please now find your way out of my rune." The man in question said.
"Wait, what do you mean by that…?" The sleepy girl said, yawning.
Yep, she was defiantly not in her bedroom. The space felt too large. She guessed she was in the guild, humiliating her ass off while finding her way around the floor. Wait, finding her way around the floor…?
"Damn it Freed, what did you do to me?! Why can't I see anything?!" She wasn't necessarily in a good mood that morning…
"That is because you must use your other senses in order to get to your breakfast. That is my training for you today. You must find your way out of my rune traps." Freed explained, while taking a sip of something.
Great, just great, like I need this first thing in the morning. Oh well, I'll kick his ass when I get out of this stupid trap…
She stood up, wobbling a bit from her sleepiness, as she shouted "Requipt: Dragon Wings!" and was shocked by lightning.
"F*CKING DAMN IT FREED! WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE, I SWEAR!" She roared, as her wings didn't appear.
"You didn't expect me to let you use your powerful magic, did you? All you have to do is find the exit, and then you get your breakfast." She bet he was grinning evilly. He was probably jealous that Laxus was giving all the attention to her, and not giving it to him (she always thought Freed liked Laxus a little more than the other two anyway).
But, she was staring to get hungry; and the smell of her waffles with cool whip and a cherry on top that Mira made for her every morning wasn't helping. So she held her hands out in front of her like a zombie, palms up, and walked forward. Sure enough, after about five steps, her hands hit the rune wall. At least the space was small… ish. She felt around some more, on all four corners, before she didn't feel a part of the wall. She started to walk through, only to be stopped by the barrier that stopped just below her stomach.
"Oh and I don't suppose I have to climb outta here too?!" She growled angrily.
"Yes, you do. You're very close, so just climb out of there and come get your breakfast. This one is the easiest. Also, you're very grumpy in the mornings."
So she did what he asked, and she climbed out of the blinding rune, and she fell into something, err, someone, as she opened her eyes for the first time that day.
"GAH!" Freed and Hesper yelled once they realized that the Wings mage had fallen on top of the Rune mage. She quickly got up off of him blushing a bit, and she walked over to her breakfast and started eating it, as if nothing happened.
Freed only blushed, eyes wide, because he wasn't really used to a girl falling on top of him (unlike the rest of the guys in the guild *cough Natsu cough*). He had also never gotten a great view of a girl's chest like that… His face, of course, clashed horribly with his hair.
He stood up after a few seconds, recollecting his thoughts on what just happened. With as graceful steps as he could muster, walked over to the bar (where the Wings mage was currently sitting) and ate his own breakfast, they were both silent during their breakfast after that.
o~o~o~o
A few hours later, Freed left Hesper alone to go do whatever. She stayed around the guild, talking to her friends and drinking (but not as much as Cana. How that girl wasn't dead by now from all her drinking she didn't know…) and also stumbling into more of Freed's traps, easily getting out of them. Then, as she was about to leave, when in front of the door, the Wings mage was transported somewhere unknown. She was in a huge room it looked like, and the walls and floor seemingly endless.
"What the…?! Ugh, FREED! THIS IS STARTING TO GET REALLY ANNOYING!" She screamed as she realized that this was another one of his rune traps.
"Hello, Hesper. Long time no see." A voice in the huge room said.
No. It can't be him. He's gone, dead. I saw him… She thought as she turned around to face the voice.
It was Percy, her brother that she had seen dead, the one that Juvia killed. She saw on either side of him their parents. But, something was wrong with them… All three of them. They had fuzzy look to them, like they were from her dreams.
"Ah, I see that you've finally started to head home for the night. In this rune trap, you have to defeat your loved ones. These people radiate with power. Are they your family?"
"F-Family that's all d-dead… Mom! Dad! Don't fight me! Please!" She cried out to them, knowing she'd be dead if she dared to fight them. Percy, she could handle… Maybe.
"I'm sorry; sweetie, but we have no choice. We'll do it quickly, for your sake." Her mother, her voice croaking out. She was sick, in her ghostly form.
"Y-You're all memories… WHY FREED, WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME?!" Hesper screamed.
"Because, what if someone did this to us in one of our jobs? And the only way out was to kill them?"
"YOU'VE GOT A SICK MIND!" She screamed into nothingness again.
"Shut up already! I wanna fight! Requipt: Dragon Wings!" Percy shouted.
She knew she'd never get out of this trap alive, unless she shut out who it was she was fighting and just fight them as if they were nobody important. They were just memories after all. Memories of people who abandoned her by dying or leaving.
"Requipt: Dragon Wings!" Both her parents shouted. They had the same wings as Hesper and Percy's dragon wings, her father having teal and gray, and her mother having pink and gray.
"Requipt: Fairy Wings!" Hesper shouted, and she disappeared, turning invisible. This was one of the wings that none of her family knew about.
"Wha…? Where'd you go?!" Percy roared, slashing at where she was just a second ago. She kicked him, over and over again, using the same attack that she used on Laxus during their fight.
She kept kicking, not stopping for a second. She was soon kicking and punching all three of them. They soon deactivated their wings, except for her. She flew a little ways away, looking back to them. She saw how defenseless they were. But she also knew they weren't real.
A sword popped out on the floor from nowhere, which was a signal from the rune that they were weak enough to kill. She grabbed it, walking over to her weak memories of her family.
"This is for joining a dark guild, and for making dad leave." She said, and she swung the sword above her head, and stabbed Percy in the chest, watching the memory disappear from the room.
Hesper walked over to her mother, and swung the sword above her head again, which was clean, because a memory sheds no blood.
"This is for pretending to be alive, even if it was just for my sake." And the Wings mage stabbed her mother's memory, and it disappeared as well. All that was left was her father. She walked over to him, repeating her motion from the other two.
"Hesper! Wait!" He said. She didn't falter though.
"And this, this is for leaving me alone with an evil man." She swung the sword down, and the room and her father disappeared.
o~o~o~o
"And you say I have a sick mind? You just killed all of your family members without any remorse!" Freed said, a look of horror on his face.
"They needed to pay for what they did to me. Are there anymore runes today?" Hesper asked, looking at the ground, not wanting Freed to see the tears starting to form in her eyes.
"Well… Even I wouldn't be like that. I would show some sort of emotion at least…"
"NO YOU WOULDN'T, YOU HEATLESS BASTERED! I JUST HAD TO KILL EVERY ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS!" She screamed at him, slapped him hard in the face, and sprouted her fairy wings and disappearing, flying home, her tears falling down her face all the while.
"Did I… Do something wrong?" Freed asked himself, before he walked back into the guild, not even bothering to help the poor girl, because apparently, he sucked at comforting people… "Gosh, she has a hard slap…" He rubbed his cheek, a red hand forming on his face.
Hesper had flown into her (apparently open) bedroom window, took a shower, changed into her pajamas, and fell asleep, still crying all the while.
o~o~o~o
"Kyahaha! Wakey, wakey, sleepy head!" Hesper woke up to Bickslow's voice, accompanied by his babies saying "Wakey, wakey!" and floating around her head.
"Ugh… Not another nightmarish day…" She sat up to see Bickslows face was a little to close for her liking, and smiling a super goofy smile with his tongue sticking out, and his visor was off, so that his red eyes were staring right into her green-gold ones. "GAH!"
She shoved him off of her bed, and he landed in a heap on her floor, only to pop back up three seconds later. He reminded her of a little kid who never ran out of energy.
"Come on, kiddo, I got a full day of training planned!" He smiled, his wild deep blue and black mohawk a mess.
"How am I the kid here…?"
"What was that?"
"What are you gonna train me to do? You guys do realize I'm not a dog right…?" She sighed, getting out of bed.
"I'm gonna train you to be a spy!"
"Oh like you'd know anything about spying on people."
"Well, I know how to make it fun! Kyahaha!"
"…"
"What?"
"You're crazy."
"That I am miss, that I am." He grinned as he slug an arm over her shoulder, walked out the door with him, smiling to herself, because he had not told her to change into day-clothes, unlike the other three. Her pajamas were more comfortable anyway… I just hope he doesn't go too far with this… I still have to get him and Lisanna together after all…
o~o~o~o
"Drink it." Bickslow shoved a tankard of beer in Hesper's face, grinning madly still. They had went to the guild, and sat where the Thunder Legion normally sat. He was going to show her how to have fun while spying, damn it, even if it meant getting her drunk!
"Just what are you planning? We're gonna go spying on someone!" Hesper said questioningly.
"Yep. Drinking beforehand makes it more fun though! Kyahaha!" He stuck his tongue out again.
"Drink! Fun! Spying!" His babies floated around her head.
"If you wanna get screwed, then get someone else. I'm your teammate, not you're bed partner." She said rudely to him, staring at the Seith mage's eyes through his visor. "And if you're sick training plan is that I become it, then you're going to have another helping of my dragon wings."
He gulped, and covered his crotch. Not that girls had said this kinda thing to him before, but her in her dragon wings were scary.
"I swear you're not gonna end up being my bed partner. I love ya like a sis, ok? Now drink it. Then it's off to spy on Elfman and Ever… Kyahaha!" He grinned, grabbing his own drink and chugged it down, his babies saying "Spy! Sis spy!"
She laughed evilly, and took a sip of the drink he handed her. The beer was good, but it was a little strong. Before she knew it, Lisanna had joined their table, laughing along with Bickslow's silly jokes.
"Haha! Good one Bicks! Hey Hesper-chan! Are you to going to come spy on Ever-chan and Elf-niisan with us?" She grinned evilly as she took a swig of her drink, a little pink in the face from all the drinking she had endured in such a short time.
"Yep, she is! We are the best at spying on them, so that's what I'm gonna train her to do!" Bickslow grinned, rubbing the two girl's hair with his two big hands. They got up, and went out of the guild, stumbling a bit as they went to find Lisanna's older brother and his 'lover'.
o~o~o~o (After A Bit Of Spying Later…)
"Gosh, you were right Bickslow! That was fun! Hehehe…" Hesper grinned, still being a drunken idiot, stumbling along next to Bickslow, who was carrying a sleeping Lisanna.
"Yeah that was… Why are you laughing like that?" The Seith mage asked, he being sober, unlike the smaller girl.
"You and Lisanna… Just too cute!" She said, pointing to the two, giggling even more.
"What about me?" Lisanna said, waking up, stretching, and hitting the man in the face with her hand. "Oops! Sorry…" The Take Over mage said to him, blushing.
"You and Bickslow are so cute together! I mean, seriously, you two are perfect for each other!" The pinknette giggled again, grinning madly.
"What do you mean…?" The other two asked at the same time, blushing when they realized what they did.
"Like that! Hehehe…"
"I think it's time for bed, Hesper." Bickslow said as he dropped Lisanna, who yelled "HEY!" and he scooped up Hesper, who also yelled "HEY!" and he carried the one girl while the other walked beside him to the girl's dorm.
"Night Lis, night Hesper!" Bickslow winked, as he dropped Hesper not-so-gracefully as he did to Lisanna off at the door to Fairy Hills. Both girls then walked in and settled down for the night.
o~o~o~o
AN: Ok, I decided to end the chapter 'early', because it's surprisingly over 3,700 words! (I always try to keep the chapters up to 2,000 words, but I went over a bit, just cuz… :3) Anyway, Freed… You messed up big time… At least Bickslow was there to cheer her up! (And get her really drunk…)
~LolGizzmo55 goes to type a more hilarious chapter than this one!
