Chapter Seven: Allied forces Gather up!
A faint chime rang through cobra's ears cutting through the silence in his room as he slept before the poison dragon slayer gave a sharp intake of breath feeling his eyes involuntarily flip open, his pupils dilating as a bright glow came from them and the usual glittering violet changed into a somewhat kaleidoscopic patterns in his eyes instead.
"what...in the world?"
He whispered turning onto his back as his chest began to heave and tears slowly streamed onto his cheeks, vivid images flashed through his mind, ones that caused both his heart to ache and a fleeting sense of panic to blossom inside of him when he recognized one as a man, watching and unable to do anything as wings sprouted from his back shredding through clothing, a maniacal grin set on his face while horns seemed to protrude from his head hearing his insane cackling causing cobra to tremble just a bit despite knowing it was only a vision.
A single word slipped through his parted lips as his eyes slowly faded and returned to normal.
"F...father..."He whispered into the open air before feeling his fists clench unaware of when exactly he had sat up, a look of greif etched firmly into his features like a fortune teller who had seen something dark and foreboding.
"Men..." a deep voice said after taking a sip from their glass of wine. they sat seated at a fancy looking bar, the waiter/ bartender being an elderly looking male with small little angel wings on their back, a purple tank and shorts, this person was none other than Master Bob the guild master of blue Pegasus.
"...an interesting parfume is in the air today" the deep voice went on to say, lightly tilting the glass to take another sip when a nearby crowd of girls was heard giggling rather loudly and obnoxiously, obviously in the middle of flirting with the certain individual that was at the center of the biggest crowd among three.
"Hibiki-san! Hibiki-san! Over here, over here!" they goaded, each girl practically clawing at one another for a speck of attention from the incredibly breath-taking male up in front. He had soft looking light brownish-blonde hair accompanied by dreamy cerulean blue eyes and soft, flawless skin. It pretty much went without saying he was any and all girls dream image of a guy (or at least for these girls he was).
"My, my Hibiki-chan! you've brought in quite a crowd again today" Master Bob commented from behind the counter cleaning out another mug as he offered a gentle smile to the boy "Nearly every one of those girls only just recently joined the guild today!"
"Hibiki" let out a soft laugh of sincerity that sounded like music to all the girls ears as they gushed and fainted one by one just form hearing it.
"Jeez Hibiki-san" A darkly colored individual said heaving a sigh as he came up beside the other flanked by a third with light brown hair that shorter than the first and less tousled about, his blue eyes more larger than the other as well giving off an almost child-like innocence similar to that of a younger sibling while the more tanned one was about the same height with dark black hair pulled into a small pony-tail "How do you get so many of them to follow you each day anyway? Even Eve and I don't get as many"
Hibiki simply seemed to shrug it off really not knowing himself, but choosing to remain silent on the matter figuring it would make little sense to try and argue the point any further before walking over and taking a seat by the man at the bar offering a cheerful smile as the other two followed suite "good morning...Ichiya-san"
The said man turned, striking an eccentric looking pose while still somehow staying seated as sparkles seemed to dance around him"Men! There's no time for pleasantries today, the parfume of battle is calling!"
The three newcomers all blinked in unison, exchanging a quick glance of confusion with one another before turning back to the smaller man for an explanation.
"Oh allow me Ichiya-san, I really should be the one to explain, being the guild master and all you see boys..."
"An alliance?"
"With whom?"
"do we even need it?" the first voice asked, obviously showing their lack of interest on the subject truly believing their guild to be capable of handling such a threat alone. their eyes narrowed in slight disdain at the thought of partnering up with a couple of other guilds to get the job done.
"Lyon!"the second voice began belonging to a well-toned and muscular man by the name of Jura, one of the ten saint wizards no less, preparing to scold the younger boy. While knowing full well the youngers skill was nothing snuff at so to speak he was also aware that one shouldn't grow too arrogant in their own abilities, less it lead them towards self-destruction.
Lyon seemed to get the message shrugging his shoulders as he merely turned back towards the guild master awaiting further explanation, completely ignorant or maybe oblivious of a certain pink-haired girls obvious infatuation and lovey-dovey talk about him.
Maybe it was for the best though...
"Hello there, and welcome to..."
Natsu blinked her almond eyes trialing off with a notepad in hand, her usual white fitted pants and bandages she used to keep her chest, well...in check, were no longer present on here. Instead she wore a rather cute looking waitress outfit consisting of long white stockings, head piece and strapless orange middle piece, her rosy pink hair pulled into pig-tail at the sides.
The said girl turned looking over her shoulder in what seemed to be annoyance, having forgotten the name of the restaurant yet again...
"Hey psst! What the hells this place called again?"
The person she had addressed the question to grew a tick mark on their forehead seeming about ready to strangle her for both her stupidity, and the nerve to wear such a provocative outfit in front of him of all people, it made Laxus Dreyer seethe in frustration as he replied through gritted teeth barely holding himself back.
"Are you for real flamebrain!? That's the fifteenth freaking time I've had to answer that!"
"Not my fault it's a complicated name" Natsu rebuffed not at all fazed
"IT's 8Island! It's a number, and then the word Island!" He yelled rather loudly drawing the attention of quite a few customers while Natsu merely stared, either not sensing the overwhelming force that was Laxus's growing rage, or choosing not to care. She suddenly smirked seeming to get a rather devious glint in her eyes edging closer and nudging him a bit in the ribcage.
"Seems to me like someone here has some sexual tension that needs to be released~"
Laxus flushed beginning to stutter awkwardly turning away while grumbling under his breath.
"Knock it off you two!" Lucy hissed from across the room smacking Natsu with her delivery pan thingie "we have customers to serve here!"
"Lucy's right, you two lovebirds can duke it out later" Gray interjected before Natsu could fire back a response tot he female blonde teammate of hers "right now we have a job to do" He finished, he was cut off however when Natsu had once again gotten directly up in his face growling a bit.
"what was that...you droopy eyed bastard!?"
'Oh no...here we go again...' Lucy mentally whined heaving a sigh deciding to turn her attention elsewhere while the two had begun going at one another, resulting in their little fight being broken up by Laxus, who said he was in no mood giving them each a small but powerful shock of electricity nearly knocking them unconscious for the rest of the mission before separating them like children 'why is it always me...?'
"why the heck did you even drag me along to such a lame mission like this anyway?" Laxus grumbled coming up beside Lucy who he deemed to be the only sane one at the moment aside from his girlfriend, yes girlfriend, who was just irritating him on purpose he was sure...
"Stupid rain..." Natsu grumbled as she unwillingly trudged along pulling the jacket Laxus had thrown at her way over her head turning it into some kind of giant hood hoping to somehow ward off the oncoming droplets of water from above.
Laxus sighed at the girls childish behavior.
"It's a jacket, not an umbrella Natsu" He said lightly scolding the girl who didn't seem to be paying any attention.
Unbeknownst to Laxus Natsu had actually stopped walking when a couple walked past them, carrying an umbrella similar to the one Lisanna had when they first talked to one another. The pair was laughing and smiling despite the dreary weather just like Lisanna had been doing, and then her for some reason.
Then it hit her! The Umbrella must have somehow been a magical one!
Her brown eyes now gleamed with a childish excitement in them as she looked around while Laxus walked farther and farther away, his soundpod over his ears preventing him from hearing when Natsu eventually found what she was looking for and came racing back towards him.
"Laxus! oi, Laxus wait up!" she called.
Finally the lightning mage came to a halt just barely hearing her yell as he turned removing the soundpod from over his ear and blinking watching her skid to a halt directly in front of him. He gave alight 'tch' sound complaining how she almost got him wet before seeing something red in her hands arching a golden haired brow at her curiously.
"Natsu, what is that in your hands?" He asked seeing her grin
"An Umbrella!" She declared holding the said item up proudly in the rain, though Laxus didn't see what the big deal was "Now we can both stay dry together! See!?" she said popping it open and holding it over his and her head stepping rather close not seeming to take into account personal space causing a faint hint of pink to dust the lightning mage;s features turning away.
"Hey what's wrong?" Natsu said snapping him from his thoughts seeing the small look of discomfort that flitted across his face for a quick moment "you okay?" she asked lowering her voice, bringing a hand to rest against his cheek in a rather affectionate manner.
Laxus bit against his lip, he couldn't do this. It was too much...
"I just...i just don't think we should..." He began, but stopped. the words getting stuck in his throat when the umbrella softly clattered tot he ground and a pair of loving, warm arms enveloped him instead pulling him impossibly closer not seeming to mind the rain all of a sudden.
"It's okay, it's alright now Laxus" Natsu soothed thinking he was feeling unsure of what happened back at the house still " whatever happens from here on out" she began pulling away, her eyes burning with a fierce determination as she took his hand into her own. He swallowed for a moment at the intensity of her words, strands of shimmering golden hair clinging to his face while his clothes and such became soaked.
"I will never leave you alone ever again! to face such things, you can rest easy knowing I'll be right there at your side, fighting with you-no, fighting for you!"
He was speechless.
no one-not family, or even on his team- had ever said something like that to him. Why? He wondered, why did it...why did it make him so happy?
It gave him such a strange sensation inside. Warm, yet strong.
"Natsu, I..." He tried to respond back, to offer some kind of mutual understanding. then she went and beat him to it again, crashing her lips onto his own in a fiery, passionate kiss.
This time it left Laxus wanting more. She pulled away all too quickly, the rain had at some point stopped leaving them standing alone in the soaked street of Magnolia, the beginnings of what could very well be an intense love making session judging from the look of pure lust brewing in those almond eyes of hers.
"Laxus..." she breathed growing restless "...we need to stop, if we go any farther-
"No. Don't stop."
Natsu stared at him. He knew what she was going to say, if they went any farther...then there would be no going back, then there would be no staying 'just friends' or close nakama. It was all or nothing right here and now.
"Laxus, I-I can't "she whispered, gently stroking the side of his face longingly. She really wanted to "i won't do anything without your consent, and i-it's not as easy as you think, the process is painful! "she attempted to plead not wanting to cause him pain when this time he decided that just wasn't going to cut it.
His fist grabbed the front of her shirt pulling her, shortening what little space remained between them already even further grounding out his next words with a low growl resonating somewhere in his throat. He'd be damned if he was going to let her back out of this one just like that...
"Natsu Dragneel" He growled "I swear if you don't fuck me this instant"
Her eyes widened swallowing hard
"I'll never let you so much as look at any other man the same way!"
It was like a silent switch went off inside her mind at that instant. Her dragon instincts taking over seeing him turn to walk off, obviously with the intention of leaving her to mull over his words with great care. It took a second for her hand to latch onto his wrist however, yanking him back with an eagerness that rivaled a power hungry tycoon of some kind dragging him off in the opposite direction of the guild and towards the local hotel.
That alone should have been enough of an indication seeing as how once Natsu slammed the door on them, Laxus wouldn't stop moaning. Or screaming, according to Natsu...and some of the other occupants.
"Because afterwards I was thinking of having some more sex night" Natsu chirped up happily popping into the conversation between the two blonde only to get shoved away by a furiously blushing Laxus.
"Every night's sex night for you! Horny little...!" He began, his voice growing quieter and quieter as he talked.
"your just sour cuz your more of a screamer" Natsu responded off-handedly earning a snicker from the rest of her team while Laxus looked ready to pounce in a very non-romantic kind of way.
"SH-SHUT UP!"
