Blue Diamond
We got back to the guild without any problems. When we walked in first thing Natsu did was scowl when he saw all the bandages covering my body. His eyes instantly shot to Lucy as she came out from behind me. They roamed her entire body looking for even a single scratch.
"What kind of mission did you take?" he asked.
"It was a pretty good one," I laughed a little nervous under the glare of the Fire Dragon Slayer.
"If can't handle them, then don't go on them without me. We're nakama, we're here to help," he growled at me.
I glared, "we went on the mission cause you guys weren't here and we were bored. I didn't think the mission we picked would be as bad as it was. Otherwise I wouldn't have let Lucy go with me!"
With that I stalked off to the bar to order something before I said something I would regret. I could feel the dragon slayer's glare on my back as I left.
Time passed, my injuries healed and life went back to normal. As normal as Fairy Tail got, anyways. Slowly I figured out the rhythm of the guild, who belonged to who, and how to not piss off the all mighty Titania. I went on several missions with Lucy and Gageel and tried my best not to bother anyone. I never had to use Frozen Kingdom again. Lucy didn't tell anyone about it either. I was really thankful for that. She was a good friend. Team Natsu and I were sitting around their usual table eating when Gray and Natsu started into it again.
"I've had enough of your mouth flame boy!" Gray ranted.
"Think you can do something about it ice head?" Natsu retorted.
The boys started slinging insults at one another. I sighed into my mug. At least they kept things interesting.
"Gray, if you keep stripping when you're sitting next to me I'm going to start taking it the wrong way and think you want us to be more than friends," I taunted as I started to lean closer to him on the bench. Soon my chest was rubbing up against his bare pecks. He blushed and I could feel daggers being stared into by back. I didn't know where Juvia was but it was hard not to feel the evil eye on me. Natsu fell backwards onto the floor laughing.
"Think that's funny candle brain? At least I can get a woman to notice me!" Gray retorted shaking a fist.
My friend Sam's voice came thundering into my head, "they haven't seen the real you yet. Why are you hiding?" she asked.
"Cause I don't want to leave, I've fallen in love with all of them," was the only answer I had for that question.
Gray had got up and was ready to punch Natsu who was still laughing on the floor. I pounded my fist on the table causing everyone to jump. "If you boys don't stop fighting, I will end it right now," I warned. Surprised eyes all turned to me. I normally encouraged their fights and often joined in. I sounded like the Titania was rubbing off on me.
"And what do you think you can do about it? I've never even seen you use your magic. Do you even belong in a guild with real wizards?" Gray fumed, now directing his anger at me.
"If you really want to try and stop us, go right ahead but you'll end up in the infirmary like always cause I'm all fired up!" Natsu exclaimed as he jumped up off the floor.
I was surprised the boys were so eager to fight me. But this was Gray and Natsu we were talking about. I heard Gray got a little hands on when fighting girls and Natsu was always up for a fight.
"Take it outside if you're actually going to take it seriously, Blue," Gajeel ordered.
I nodded and made my way to the door. So this was the day my life would end at Fairy Tail. Everyone including Lucy had followed us out of the guild hall. Well, it had been fun. The boys and I squared off. "Want any rules?" I questioned. Both boys snickered.
"Who needs rules," Natsu chuckled pounding his fists together setting them ablaze.
He looked ready to pounce, I stood there and extended my arm toward them and beckoned them to me. Natsu leapt up into the air, fits blazing as he came at me. Gray charged up his attack with a fist on his open palm. I blocked Natsu's attack and dodged Gray's.
"Come on boys, at least make it interesting," I taunted.
Natsu came flying back at me calling out "Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" I managed to keep myself out of harms way but without a counter attack. Gray and Natsu stood near to each other and they both gave dead sexy grins that would have made any other girl weak in the knees. Even I thought about what it would be like to ravage one of them or both.
"What are you doing Blue Diamond?" I heard Sam whispered. Crap, I didn't think my friend would be watching this.
I noticed all the other Dragon Slayer's ears perk up. Only they could hear.
"Stop holding back, get serious and let them see you," she ordered.
"Fine," I grunted.
Natsu's eyes narrowed into a glare. "Fire Dragon's Roar," he yelled as he unleashed a giant mass of flames at me, at the same time Gray yelled, "Ice make, Ice Cannon!" while a large amount of ice came hurtling at me. I stood tall and let it come to me.
"Got her!" They declared.
Sam laughed while I took in all their magic and when the dust and steam cleared I was standing there without a scratch. I was reluctant but I had to show them who I really was and the part of me I was hiding, my magic. "Thanks for the meal," I drawled. Both male mages had a priceless look of shock all over their hansom faces.
"Fire Dragon's Roar," I cried as I hit Gray with a ridiculous amount of magical blue fire. Before Natsu could recover from the shock I let out an "Ice Dragon's Roar," I hit Natsu with a powerful ice attack sending him flying next to Gray who hadn't moved yet. The boys recovered and I readied another attack, "Two Headed Dragon's Roar, Fire and Ice," I screamed with a tear escaping my eye, sending them flying with a storm of blue fire mixed with shards of sharp ice. The boys landed hard and did not seem to be moving at all.
I scanned the crowd, Gajeel had a knowing grin on his face, the beautiful Lucy looked stunned, and Erza had an unreadable look. Sam flew up and landed on my shoulder. She was a white cat with a black mask and two black spots on her back and tail.
"It had to be done," she encouraged as she patted me on the back.
I heard the whispers, "another dragon slayer," "wow, she is powerful," "this guild really is full of monsters."
I started walking away, two tears leaving two different trails down my cheeks.
"Oi!" Natsu's voice rang out. I looked at him as he and Gray got to their feet. "Now that we know that you're not just all talk, lets get this fight started," he challenged knocking his fists together again with his orange flame bursting out. Sam flew off to join the crowd.
"Bring it on, Little Brother," I called taking a defensive posture.
"Ice make, sword," Gray called.
"Eat this! Lighting flame dragon fist!" Natsu roared.
"Frozen flame claw!" I snarled.
I stood there waiting for their attacks and I started to tremble. My breathing got labored and sweat shown on my body.
"You look scared," Gray hissed as he swung his sword at me. I dodged and slashed at him with my frozen claw. Natsu came in hard and fast making contact with my side. I felt the burn and the electric wave rippled through my body. I screamed and sent the boys flying with a surge of power as flames burst forth over my entire body.
Scales formed on my face under my eyes and on the side, "I don't know how to be scared," I stated, my tone dark and cold.
"You woke the demon," Sam shivered loud even Gray heard.
"This fight is over!" Erza announced as she stepped in between us, "we shall call it a draw for today." We all looked at her, my flames still raging. I was waiting for her to call master and get me get kicked out of the guild for hiding the fact that I was a dragon slayer. "If you guys fight seriously, you will end up destroying the guild hall, isn't that right, Demon of the West?" Erza asked as she eyed me.
I laughed and calmed down, "so you knew?"
"Of course," came Grandpa's voice, "you think I've been around dragon slayers long enough to not know one when I see one?" he questioned.
"So, I was just added to the set," I asked a little hurt.
"My child, you are not part of a set, you are a member of this family, and like a family if you want to leave you can and you will never be replaced because you hold your own special place in the heart of Fairy Tail, just like the rest of you brats!" Gramps roared as he held up his hand giving the Fairy Tail hand signal. A cheer broke out from the crowd followed by everyone giving the same signal as master.
"I guess I was worried for nothing, sorry Blue," Sam apologized looking around amazed at the show of support.
"Its all good, Sam. You were just worried about me. You know, it felt good to stretch the magic muscles," I laughed. I flexed my hand and broke the ice talon and turned it into a ball of flame, "want a taste, Natsu?" I teased.
His eyes lit up but then I dissipated it he looked bummed and started pouting. "It's been a while since I've had that color of fire," he sulked.
"So, you going to stay? You know, people say there are monsters here but I just call them family," Lucy laughed.
I wiped away the tears and gave her a thumbs up, "I'll be around for a long time, don't worry Angel," I smiled.
Lucy
Blue and I were sitting at the table with the rest of Team Natsu drinking and have a good time except Natsu was still pouting about not getting to finish the fight.
"So why didn't you tell anyone you were a dragon slayer?" Gray asked the question on everyone's mind.
She let out a long sigh, "I didn't want to tell because most of the guilds I've been in have wanted to abuse the powers of dragon slayers. When I found out I had just agreed to join Fairy Tail I thought I had to get out of here as soon as possible, it was rumored to collect dragon slayers, and I was sure it was just to use them. That's what every other guild tried to do to me. After being here a while, this guild was really different. Master never ordered any of the dragon slayer's to do anything, he encouraged them to follow whatever path they want. He calls us his children, and worries about everyone who goes out on a mission. He's as crazy as the rest of the people in this guild. I was also afraid that if everyone knew I was the Demon of the West, I would be asked to leave. I'm not really proud of my past," she explained.
"So, Erza, you going to turn her in? I'm guessing even after all these years there is still a bounty on her," Gray teased.
"Oh, I forgot to ask Ayato what it was now," Blue pondered.
"What?" the whole table yelled.
"He is one of the top bounty hunters in Fior, that's how we met," Blue laughed.
"Wow, how did you two end up hooking up?" I asked.
Blue blushed, that was the first time I had ever seen her blush over anything. "My dark guild master sent me to kill him, he was coming after me and some guild mates already. We fought, destroyed a few mountains, caused some forest fires, and made a huge crater that turned into a lake. Needless to say he didn't capture me and I didn't kill him. One day he found me bathing in a river. He thought he would catch me off guard by forcing me to fight naked. I surprised him by not backing down just cause I was missing some clothes. One thing lead to another and I ended up kissing him, then I decided not to kill him because he was a lot of fun. I went back to the guild, told them I was leaving, I erased my guild symbol and left," Blue answered.
"When did you fight Gajeel?" Natsu asked.
"She was still in the dark guild," Gajeel answered behind me.
A slow smile crept onto Blue's face. "Want to finish that fight?" she questioned.
"Not today kiddo," he answered and walked away.
"I'm older than you now, Old Man," she mumbled. I heard Gajeel snort as he continued to walk away.
"Who won the fight last time?" I wondered.
"It was a stale mate, the guild leaders broke it up before it got good," Blue answered with a little pout.
"Fight me!" Natsu demanded.
"Fine, I'm up for a hike," Blue replied.
"Hike?" Gray inquired.
"Of course, I don't want Natsu and I to destroy anything. Now that you guys know what kind of magic I have, I don't have to hold back. We'll have to go way up in the mountains where no one else is so the only things getting damage will be the scenery and our bodies," Blue purred and gave Natsu a seductive look.
Natsu leaned in close to Blue, "I'm all fired up," he teased.
I felt a pang of jealousy at the attention she was getting from him. She used that look on Loki all the time. Loki always responded to it. What would I do if her and Natsu got together? Would she be better for him? She was a dragon slayer like him after all.
"Sam, are you going to go with us or staying here?" Blue asked her cat as she got up. The cat gave her a look. "Have fun and play nice with the other cats," Blue ordered with a wink to Sam.
Natsu stood and looked at Happy. "I'm going to stay here with the others," Happy informed him. Natsu nodded.
"Lucy, as much as I would love for you to come along, I think you should stay here. If you got hurt Natsu and I would feel really bad. I tend to get a little carried away," she confessed.
Did she just want Natsu all to herself? Or was this her overprotective side that always seemed to come out around me? I wasn't sure what to think.
"You going to tell Erza and I to stay as well?" Gray asked quizzically pulling me from my thoughts.
"No, if you two come than I don't mind if Lucy comes as well as long as she stays close to you two and brings out her sexy little kitten," she bantered.
"She means Loki," I giggled at their confused faces.
"I would never hurt Lucy," Natsu protested a little late.
"I destroy mountains when I get serious. I won't take a chance with Lucy's safety," Blue defended.
"I'm not weak," I pouted.
She looked at me a little hurt. "I never said you were," she rebutted. She then stalked to the door not waiting for anyone.
