WARNING SLIGHT LEMON IN THIS CHAPTER

Chapter 4 Claudia?

2 days had flown by quickly since the night that Lucy and Laxus had admitted their feelings for each other, 2 days since their passionate make out session in the cave and since then Laxus had noticed a slight change in the blonde since being in America, she had let her accent from being an established blonde in the high status to actually being able to pull off a full blown American accent.

Everything about her interested him, made him want her even more she had even began calling him dude or bro on an odd occasion, and when they was alone she summoned her spirits trying to make sure she wasn't lacking any strength to summon them just in case they was needed, Loke had been rather shocked sights of America, he had even tried to flirt with a few of the locals until Lucy grabbed his ear dragging him away. Cursing that she couldn't force his gate closed until they wasn't near the public eye, it had made him laugh that his little stellar mage's hands was tied to how this country worked.

If anyone had spotted them in with one of the spirits out, Lucy just smiled saying that they was just trying out costumes for the upcoming comic cons that year and then got compliments saying that their costumes was cool. She had even called Aquarius out along with Scorpio and have them enjoy the moment in a beautiful country side walk.

He knew this girl loved her spirits deeply, and making them happy also made her happy.

Currently he was leaning against the Prius that she so happened to call her baby, he wondered on how much she would love to be taken on that car.

At one point during their trip, they had ran out of road signs and Lucy had skilfully imputing information into a small screen inside the car and when it began speaking Laxus got scared, she couldn't help but laugh trying to tell him it was just a machine and it wasn't going to hurt him, so long as he didn't touch it while having his magic active then it would still work and get them to their destination.

Lucy walked out of the supermarket with two carrier bags, and a magazine underneath her arm, she was wearing a pair of tight blue dark wash jeans, salmon pink vest with a blue denim waist coat, he couldn't help on how it had made her look sexy, the way her his swayed from side to side was torment on his mind. It also made the lower region twitch wanting the way her body moved.

"Hey there Handsome, too warm in the car?" her voice spoke softly but it held love and a slight touch of angelic to it, "Yeah, these things are stuffy, so were about 2 days away from getting to south Dakota right?" she nodded placing a bag in the back seat and then one in the front, "We have one more town to hit then it will be mostly desert, luckily I managed to grab a couple of jerry can's full of fuel so we don't run out on the way, because more than likely there won't be a gas station for miles, so in the next town I'm going to fill the tank to the max point."

He nodded hearing her plan, he always knew she was smart but he had to wonder on how much her intelligence worked out while being on Team Natsu, "With your brains blondie I don't know how your team ended up being as destructive"

She couldn't help but snort at his remark….

He blinked once….

He blinked twice…

And then let out a belly rolling laugh, holding his stomach while leaning against the car, her honey brown eye's looked him over crossing her arms over her rather large breasts, "Excuse me but why are you laughing?"

He tried to regain his breathing and looked to her, she looked confused with one eye brow perked higher on her face, tilting her head, the 5 piercings she held in one ear and two in the other glistened in the sun, it made her damn right sexy, "Y….you! Princess of the high social life…..snorted!"

The second them words left his mouth he slide down the car sitting on the dirt path and laughed harder, while Lucy's small hands covered her mouth, a faint pink blush spread across her cheeks, "I Did NOT! Snort!"

"You sure did blondie! Isn't that bad manners of a lady?" grabbing the magazine she hit him over the head, "Stupid Fracking Arsehole," but that just made matters worse for herself. His booming laughter filled the quiet air, causing her to crack a smile "Alright maybe it was a little funny, and I'll have you know that flame dick and ice prick did nothing but run straight into a fight and not listen to my plans, even Erza wouldn't listen once she saw contact of battle she re-equipped and ran off to take down the leader like it was nothing" she sat down on the ground next to him pulling out a small device, sliding her fingers across the screen he looked over rather confused.

"What the fuck is that blondie?" she grinned, she loved confusing the hell out of him, "It's called a cell phone genius, I had it stored in my bag, but forgot about it till yesterday it's like a communications Lacrima but runs on electricity and battery like everything else in this world, I had charged it while we was at that hotel last night it's been buzzing all day apparently my friend had sent me a lot of text messages over the past 8 years" she let out a sigh as she opened up an application that displayed pictures and then showed him, "this was me 8 years ago before leaving America, I had dyed my hair to make sure my father couldn't find me, and that stood next to me is my best friend, his names Steve jinks, but I call him Jinksy,"

Laxus had to admit, the guy was attractive, the way Lucy was looking to him as he looked to the camera, she held love in them eye's and it made him jealous, her short dark red hair suited her, made her look wild and bold. Dark make up around her eye's, but a gentle smile on her face. No loneliness held, just that spark he loved, the spark she looked at him with.

"Was … you two ever?" she blinked, lowering the phone and couldn't contain a laugh, "No, not in the slightest, first time we ever went out on a job together at the company I worked for, I thought he was hitting on me, but he announced that ….." she couldn't help but laugh a little more, "he was Gay, sure I felt my heart break slightly, but we came back stronger, we had gone through so much then I decided I had to leave, there was a man who I thought was like a father figure to me, but he kept hiding secrets and I felt betrayed, I couldn't stay, plus I wanted to be a mage make my mother proud"

He saw a small sadness in her eye's and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "I will make sure that won't happen ever again princess, tell you what, the next town we hit I want you to spoil yourself, is there anything you can think of that you want at the moment?"

Looking into his stormy blue eyes, and then trailed down his body tracing his black tattoo's, she loved them on him they made him so much sexier. "Ink, I want some ink work done, I've always wanted a piece done but I could never when I lived with my father, and then his words was still engraved in my mind when I came here. Plus I wasn't old enough you have to be 18 in America for ink work."

He raised his eye brow, the innocent little blonde in his arms wanted to get a piece of work done on her body? Well this had surprised him greatly, he didn't know how different America did there tattoo's as when he got his done, they was done by a Lacrima ink gun that provided the pain of a tattoo but it was over with in an hour, his mind then tried to imagine her with a tattoo, and couldn't help but feel rather heated up by it. No matter where he pictured it on her body, he couldn't help but the tight feeling in the rather comfy jeans Lucy had bought him the day before, apparently his other clothing was rather uncommon in America so she bought him some jeans and a green army style jacket, but let him keep the t-shirts.

He had to remember to pay her the money back once getting back home to Fairy tail, "I think we can stop and let you get it done like you said there's one more town before hitting South Dakota right?" she nodded and helped her stand up he noticed the slight redness of her skin and looked up at the sun, "Well we better head out then in this death trap, windows open?"

"All the way dude" he grinned and stole a kiss from her lips before they got into the car, she handed him some water while she took a bottle of brown liquid and drank some enjoying the sugary taste to it, he never asked for anything apart from water as he didn't know what other drinks was here, so he quickly held out his hand, "Can I?"

She nodded handing him the cold beverage, and he took a sip, the sudden fizziness made his face scrunch but he liked the sweet taste to it, "It's called coca cola, a popular soft drink here, I have a few more if you want some," he placed it in the cup holder next to her and smiled, "Maybe later, but also I might get something more sweet," he flashed his teeth, and she stuck her tongue out.

"Keep dreaming sparky." With that she started the engine and began to drive out of the markets car park.

Magnolia – fairy tail guild

Erza was staring at the piece of strawberry cake jellal had asked Mira for but It had remained untouched, she wasn't even wearing her armour, just a plain black skirt and black turtle neck shirt.

Almost a week had gone by since Lucy had left on a secret mission with the guilds strongest dragon slayer, the guild masters own grandson Laxus, she had been constantly worried about Lucy on her condition, the day when she saw her blonde little sister collapse into his large arms in pain had stirred up panic in the scarlet's stomach. She knew she hadn't been there much for Lucy since Team Natsu was no more, she had taken missions to help clear Jellal's name across Fiora but that wasn't too hard, due to all his help during the grand magic games.

But that had only taken two weeks, the rest of the time she was too involved in catching up with her old friend, and secret crush to notice that Lucy had been coming to the guild often enough, she hadn't noticed on how many missions the stellar mage had taken since they had disbanded. At one point she could have swore that Lucy limped into the guild only to take a day's rest then head out on another mission.

Sighing, She pushed the strawberry cake away refusing to even look at it, when she felt someone sit down next to her, "Erza?" she looked up to see them onyx coloured eye's of Jellals, he could see tears wanting to escape her own, "Don't worry, Lucy will be back before you know it, with that smile of hers," slamming her fist down onto the bar, Erza looked down biting her lip, "But it shouldn't have come to this! She shouldn't have to be alone on this mission with Laxus! She shouldn't have had to be alone for the past 7 weeks!, I failed her as a friend and elder sister."

The bluenette could only sigh, he had heard the red head cry herself to sleep at night she blamed herself but she wasn't the only one at fault, Natsu or Gray should have gone to see the light of the guild, Especially Natsu.

"I will make this vow right now! I WILL NOT TOUCH ONE SINGLE PIECE OF CAKE UNTIL MY SISTER RETURNS TO THE GUILD!" Everyone in the guild turned to them as she was stood up, grabbing the strawberry cake throwing it against the wall, The crash of the plate echoed until all the final pieces had hit the floor. Turning she left a stunned Jellal and shocked guild members wondering what had gotten into the Re-quip mage.

America – Tattoo studio

Laxus was sat on a stool next to the large leather bed Lucy was currently sat in, the strap of clothing on her left shoulder was moved off her shoulder, and a piece of white cloth underneath her arm to stop ink from getting onto her clothing, her right hand was holding his, slightly squeezing ever now and again.

He could hear deep hisses of pain and didn't like the fact that they had been stuck in this studio for 3 hours, she had explained the design to the artist and he began to draw it up immediately, at the top of her shoulder held a night sky with the silver moon shining brightly, as it cascaded down just passed her elbow into a ¾ sleeve, all different planets, stars was jotted on the outside and inner side of her arm, leading to the base of her neck, then going round her arm in a spiral held all 12 zodiac signs, then she had showed the artist her silver key's, and he had managed to fit them into the design also, what surprised him was the zodiac Sign that was held right at the top, it was Aquarius, When she had told him that, she was the first Zodiac spirit she contracted with, and was also a part of her mother's life he understood.

So now the man digging a vibrating needle into his girls arm, making the scent of lucy's blood hit his nose was slightly aggravating, he knew she wanted this and he couldn't do a thing about it, he did appreciate the fact that the place was clean, he had smelt the disinfectant and sanitizing chemicals as soon as they had entered the studio.

Looking down, the man was halfway through the colouring, who was surprised of Lucy's high pain tolerance, he had also expressed it rather well, and she just smiled speaking, "Well when you have an iron rod smashing you in the rib cage 20 times over shattering two ribs, then this pain is nothing."

Laxus had cringed at that description, he knew exactly that Gajeel had tortured his woman during the whole phantom lord thing and the fact that she had never give up, she just looked him in the eye's and spoke the proud words of a fairy tail wizard.

"How you holding up Luce?" Spoke the man, she just smiled to him "I'm doing fine thanks, it's looking really beautiful thank you for taking the time to do this I appreciate it." The man shook his head and sat back in his chair cracking his back slightly, "My pleasure, you're the first to come in here, that's give me a challenge to get this perfect and done with one day, Your arms going to be sore for a while you're not driving anywhere tonight are you?"

She shook her head, "Nope, we've rented a hotel just down the road, and I'll take it easy tomorrow while driving."

He dipped the needle back into the midnight blue ink and began working on the tattoo again just over her elbow, "where about are you heading? You're not from around here I know that but you seem to know where to go" she couldn't help but laugh, she could smell the jealousy rolling off her boyfriend as the man was bantering with her.

"Leena's BNB in South Dakota, Univille" he sat back again looking to the girl, "I haven't heard of that place in a long time, 8 years to be exact…. Why would you be going there?"

"I use to have family there, in fact I lived in that BnB for a year, I'm just visiting and letting them meet my muscle man right here," she nodded to him, but the fact the artist faltered, he put the gun down, "is everything ok?" he nodded standing up taking a drink and then looked back to the girl, "does the name Claudia Donovan ring a bell?" Lucy's mouth dropped, her eye's widened and her hand suddenly clutched Laxus like a life line, "I knew it! Even though you've changed your hair colour I knew it was you! It's been a long time but I'm pretty sure you've forgotten who I was right?" she couldn't believe it this man was talking to her, knew her past life here in America, then it all suddenly hit her, "T…Todd?" he nodded,

"Man, you've not aged passed 17! How'd you stay so young?" Laxus looked confused, they actually knew each other? And who's Claudia Donovan? Obviously Lucy knew who she was otherwise she wouldn't have stiffened up like she'd done, then the surprised edged in her throat, "Excuse me but what are you talking about?" his voice rather deep and serious, Lucy turned her brown eye's back to her boyfriend, "I can't believe it, I should introduce you two better, Laxus this is Todd, he's an old friend of mine and Todd this handsome devil is my Boyfriend Laxus Dreyer, now how I stayed so young is a secret but Todd could you be so kind as to finish this? We're kind of in a hurry"

The man nodded placing his glasses on, sitting back down and put some latex gloves on starting the tattoo gun back up, "Sorry but why Lucy?" she just grinned, he was talking in code, he'd obviously knew she was trying to hid something, "because that's who I am, the other side of me was just the middle" he nodded understanding, she was like a puzzle and that confused the shit out of Laxus.

2 hours later, Todd was finished and began wrapping up the tattoo, "Just keep it covered until you get back to the hotel, wash it, cream it and then before bed cover it back up, and try to keep it covered for 3 day's before walking round without this on ok? I'm sure the big man here will be able to keep reminding you on how Tattoo after care works," she bopped her blonde hair trying to move her arm, but the food wrap made it slightly hard, "thanks Todd, how much do I owe you?"

He shook his head, leaning over the counter to grab the aftercare cream, "it's on the house Luce, after the way I treated you 8 years ago, this is the least I can do to repay you, After all if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be in the witness protection program like I am now. I'm earning an honest living and a great career the feds put me in. Just don't be a stranger round these parts ok?"

She couldn't help but laugh at the mans question, "I'll try but I live in Fiora now, so see you around Todd," with that she grabbed her jealous boyfriends arm waving, "I'll recommend you to everyone I pass, your works awesome dude!" and with that she left the man watching her leave, her golden hair imprinted into his mind and that smile, he leaned against the counter, whispering words only Laxus could hear.

"He better not break that heart of yours like I did, you're an amazing woman Claudia."

And he was left there.

A little while later ….

Lucy was sat on the porch of the room both her and Laxus had rented he had been in a rather confusing mood since getting back from the studio, he had left her in the room alone while he headed out saying he was going to get something from the car. She had taught him how to activate the lock system so he wouldn't break it, After all she was renting it, and she didn't want to pay out anything extra for 'accidently damaging it'

She let out a sigh, placing her hand on the slightly warm and sore tattoo, it was amazing and she loved every bit of it, as her thoughts rolled back to the man who did her art work, "Todd…." She let out a sigh looking up at the starry sky, when a warm glow showered her few leaving nothing but speckles of star dust, "That tattoo is most amazing princess,"

She looked up to see Loke standing there in nothing but jeans and a green t-shirt, she had mentioned to her spirits if they was going to force their own gates open, they had to dress in the American way, so they didn't attract too much attention, "Thank you, you know I hold every single one of my spirits close to my heart, I just wish I could have gotten His! Sign edged in there too, but I don't know what His symbol is,"

Loke sat down next to the blonde as she took a sip of coffee, "He would have appreciated that a lot, just like us spirits hold deep love in our hearts that you would dedicate something like this to us on your own body, now talk to me, I could feel your sadness all the way in the celestial world."

Taking a deep breath Lucy opened her eyes, "The man that did my art work…..was my ex boyfriend…"

….

….

"he was What? Does Laxus know this?" Lucy shook her head but curled her legs close to the large breasts, "I don't know he might have suspected something, I could smell jealously coming off him…. Loke when can I tell him about what my training was about," the lion looked at his princess with soft eye's, placing a hand on her knees, "when you are ready, he's a dragon Slayer his instincts to make you his mate won't hold him back for long, just like your instincts as a CELESTIAL GOD SLAYER Wont hold you back, you know what they say about the gods? They take what they desire, and you desire him right?"

She nodded, "Then when the time is right, you'll mark him just like he will you, the mating process will be passionate and painful, HE Explained everything about that, and once the pact between you both has been sealed, Laxus will be able to understand everything, just trust him princess, I know you love him, which I have a hard time getting over…..the goddess being taken away from me with a dragon!"

Her eye's held a spark in them again instead of sadness, "An if he ever hurts my goddess! He'll feel the wrath of not only the leader of the zodiacs but all the other celestial spirits contracted to you or not! We hold you deep in our hearts and the most kindest master we've ever had, you know I've sworn myself to your bloodline alone." bopping her head to him she gave him a watery smile, uncurling herself from the fetal position and leaned over hugging him, "Thank you Loke, you know just how to cheer me up, once this mission is over, I'm giving both you and Aries 2 weeks off!"

A pink blush danced across his face, and held her close, "anything for you princess…..just keep hanging in there, your stronger than you think, want me to stay till he comes back?" shaking her head she kissed his cheek, "Nah, go back to Aries, I'm sure she's wanting to see you."

With that Leo the lion disappeared in stardust, Lucy stood up to walk back inside only to see Laxus there, his eye's widened, "YOU'RE A FUCKING GOD SLAYER!"
