Recap:
After my shower, I arrived at my room, I looked around. Nothing's changed in 7 years huh? I think as I sigh and lay my head on the ever soft pillows. Mama, I hope I make you proud. And Papa, I forgive you. That night, I cried myself silently to sleep with the thought of my mother and father.
I awoke to loud shouts coming from the hallway outside my door, burying my head in my pillow, thinking that might help to mute the annoying blonde Dragon Slayer. Oh was I wrong. As the shouts got closer I was able to discern what the moron was saying.
"Oi Blondie! We're hungry! Get up and make us some food!" He shouts at me. I guess he can't tell what room I'm in because my scent would be all around the house, so he has to actually check each and every room. Suddenly, the room to my door is opened and a soft "Lucy-san!" is heard. As I sit up and look, I see a green exceed running towards me. Instantly on guard I shout out.
"Who the hell are you and what are you doing here?" I say with venom in my voice.
"Waaaah!" The exceed stops and begins to cry, "Fro is sad. Why doesn't Lucy-san remember Fro?" The exceed says. Just then a head of black tousled hair appears in my doorway looking in. As the person steps in to view I see they are wearing a black figure hugging shirt and grey slacks. It hits be that this tousled attractive person before me is Rogue. It occurs to me that the Exceed must be Frosch.
"Ah! Sorry Frosch, I didn't recognize you because I've never seen you without your Frog suit." I say softly followed by a yawn. Patting the spot next to me, the exceed proceeds to run full speed at my bed and jump up to the spot next to me. Cuddling up next to me a let out a soft laugh. "Forgive me Frosch?" I ask gently.
"Fro will only forgive Lucy if she gets him food!" Frosch says sternly as his stomach rumbles.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming." I laugh at the exceed. At this point Sting must have realised that I had been found and races into my room.
"Blondie!" He launches himself at me catching me in a weirdly awkward hug. "Can you make us food now?" He looks up at me with puppy dog eyes wile releasing me from the spontaneous hug.
"Get off my legs and I'll get up." I say "I see you're feeling better? And why the hell are you hugging me anyway?" I ask as he makes his way off my bed. It's then I notice his clothing. Or lack of. He stands before me in nothing but boxer shorts. "Get out and put some clothes on too!" I say as I get up out of bed with a grumble.
"I hugged you because you're strong and I want us to be friends and I want food." He says simply with a shrug. "Also as a thanks for letting us stay here after Lector bad mouthed you." He continues while giving Lector a stern look. "Yeah, I'm feeling better, that punch damn hurt though!" He says smiling as he pats me on the back.
"Sting!" I shout, "Put some damn clothes on already. Have you no modesty?" I say as I look away from his well-built, toned body.
"Eh?" Sting says as he looks down at his body, "When did that happen? I'm sure I had a shirt on when I woke up." He blinks a couple of times. Great, another spontaneous stripper I think as I roll my eyes.
"Anyway, come on, the kitchen is this way." I say as I begin to lead the two men and two exceeds down the hall. "You okay Lector? You've been awfully quiet today."
"Ah! I'm fine. I-uh-um, I'm sorry." He mumbles.
"It's okay, Rogue explained it all last night." I say as I smile. "Ah! Crap!" I say as realisation hits me.
"Eh? What is it Blondie?" Sting asks.
"What is the matter Lucy?" Rogue asks too.
"I just remembered this house has been uninhabited for 7 years. I'm surprised you didn't notice the dust over everything." I begin.
"Eh? That's all? Anyway, let's go, I'm hungry." Sting says, interrupting me.
"Ah, I see." Rogue says as understanding flicks across his black face.
"See what?" Sting inquires.
"No one has set foot in this house for 7 years lightbulb. It means there's no food in the house." I explain.
"Oh okay." Sting states followed by a deafening. "WHAT?" as Sting breaks down on the floor murmuring about how he's going to starve to death, I head back to my room and grab my Celestial keys. I have other keys now, but I have a special connection to these guys I guess so I just prefer them. As I take a hold of my keys, Leo, Taurus, Aries and Aquarius's keys all start glowing. As four poofs of golden smoke appear in my room the four of them appear.
"Eh, what are you guys doing here?" I ask as I address Loke.
"We just wanted to congratulate you on yesterday my princess." Loke says smoothly as he reaches for my hand and kisses the back of it
"You did well Lucy." Aquarius states simply.
"Mooooo-Lucy's nice body handled our power with expertise." Taurus says while looking me up and down.
"I'm sorry!" Says Aries, "My magic couldn't be of any help in the battle." She says nervously.
"Ohhooooohoh! Is that a lamb? And a cow? Lucy! You're letting us eat your celestial spirits?" Sting asks with drool dripping from his mouth as he nears on Aries. Crap, I'd forgotten about them.
"Eh? Lucy, got yourself a boyfriend?" Aquarius asks, "Does this mean we can go on double dates now?" She asks with hearts in her eyes.
"Eh? He's not my boyfriend." I say as I turn slightly green at the thought.
"Then why are him and his partner here?" Loke asks.
"Ah, they're actually the reason I borrowed your power yesterday." I explain, "Well, Sting actually, he was stupid and challenged me to a fight and then his exceed provoked me." I finish with a nervous laugh.
"That doesn't explain why they're in your house." Loke says.
"Ah, you see after I knocked Sting out, it started to rain again and I couldn't just kick them out could I? So I'm letting them stay as an apology for knocking this moron out." I say simply, "Now, all of you, go back pI need to summon Virgo."
With four simultaneous puffs of smoke, they all disappear. As I summon Virgo, Sting speaks up.
"So, what are we going to do about food?" He asks.
"That's why I've summoned Virgo." I say simply.
"Eh?" He looks confused, "But there's no one there?" He asks dumbfounded.
"That's because I sent her downstairs in the dining room, she's bringing food from the Spirit world. She should also be stocking up the fridge." I say as I once more exit the room and make my way downstairs with Sting hot on my heels. As we pass Rogue who was in the same place as when I headed back into my room he too joins in walking behind me. As we reach the stairs, Sting must have caught the scent of food because he raced ahead and headed straight to the dining room.
"Dragon Slayers." I say as I laugh softly. As I made my way into the kitchen I see half of the presumably once full table already devoured by Sting who is sitting at the end of the table with a gigantic gut.
"Hey Blondie! This food is great!" He says as he goes to grab something else. Rogue and I just look at Sting and then at each other. With nothing more than a slight nod from both of us we race off for the remaining half of the table eager to get our share before Sting devours the lot.
"Princess, as you can see I have set food on the table as well as filled the fridges." Virgo says as she bows at the doorway.
Looking over briefly I say a quick thank you and close her gate before making my way to the table again. The food is delicious of course, not only is it from the Spirit World but it was prepared by Virgo. As we all eat our fill, Sting it eating 3 times as much as the rest of us combined, I excuse myself and make my way to one of the bathrooms for a shower.
Once out, I make my way back to my room and get dressed in my usual attire. I sit on my bed I decide it's about time I learnt about all the other keys I now own and make a contract with them. I'll start off with the Monster ones seems I've already used one of them. Summoning them one by one, I start off with the Lamia and make a contract with her. I continue on through them, The Succubus, The Lizardman, The Immortal, The Fallen Angel and The Shape Shifter. With Demetri, The Titan and the other 5 Mama wrote to me about, that makes 12. So there are 12 of the Monster keys as well? The same as the celestial zodiacs. I wonder if the others all have 12 as well? As I ponder this I start to feel slightly weak.
"So the monsters all drain my magical power substantially I guess." I say out loud.
"Monsters?" I hear a low voice question from the doorway. "I've never heard of Monster keys?"
"Sting?" I ask as I look at the source of the voice.
"What are these Monsters thingy's Blondie?" He questions with a ridiculously large smile on his face. Yep, he really is just like Natsu.
"Ah!" I give of a small giggle. "Well you see th-" Suddenly everything goes black.
Ahhhh! Cliffhanger! Don't worry though, it's nothing serious. And I'll explain what the Monsters look like and their powers later on in the story when they pop up along with all the other gate keys. I apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors. And if I switch between 1st and 3rd person I'm sorry. I seem to do it a bit.
