Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!
hellspam; Erza's always fun to write~ She'll be making more appearances in the future too. I could totally see her doing something like that. Yeah, I can also see Mira doing things like that, I didn't plan to have her completely immobile during that part of the story where in canon she didn't have access to her powers. Ooh yeah, I have some plans for that to happen. Juvia is awesome. Oh, I can't spoil anything about that just yet, but it is going to be interesting when it comes about. It very well could be Virgo~ We do need more Virgo~ Hehe, I lol'ed when reading that. That's quite a good idea, thanks for suggesting it!
DocSlendy; It's also fun writing it too~
Allan Von'Skoon; The wheels turn, and the chapters out, and here's the reply~ We have done indeed, a bigger reason will be shown down the line why. They've been together for about two months yeah, I thought that would be the best time for them, not so long where they are comfortable, but not so short where they hardly talk with one another. I thought it was a good balance. He is conflicted with it, he doesn't know how to feel about it. Hmmm, he very well could be gaining something soon enough~ Oh don't miss her, she'll be appearing very soon. Though they do have to test out that theory and all. They are fans of his huh, with all of the stuff Aries talks about him, they are quite jealous of her with such a close relationship that they have together. Maybe, since he might not know any better, and wants to please his Spirits and all. Mira's crew yeah~ A deeper meaning to it will be shown in the future, for now though this is a good chance for them to become closer and such. Juvia to the rescue! You don't wanna mess with Juvia when she's ready to fight for her love. Hehe, it might be a deep down desire of his yeah~ Hehe, maybe they'll have that in the future yeah~ Yup, he did, and in this chapter, he shows them what it could be like in the future. He could very well be the reason yeah, it would be interesting if that happened. We do indeed something that needed to be added. He will do yeah, it will also play something of a role later on, but I can't say what just yet. I'd say it's Juvia's quite intimidating attitude as of right now, why she was scared, but Levy will become more brave in the future. Erza, here at least for me, is quite fun to write, and even read when she says, what she says. It seems like more people were for, than against, so that's what I went with, it is going to be fun to do when it comes about. We do indeed, and the real life show this chapter~ And thanks! I try my best! I'm just glad for everyone that decides to follow, favourite, and review too, makes my day~
Tohka123; Thanks very much! I'm happy that you did! Yeah, as I write this, I am nearly back to full health again. Oh, not this chapter, that's next chapter, but things do happen in this chapter that do need to happen. Yup, they've been introduced! The reasons for it will be revealed later down the line. Two months indeed yeah. It seemed a good amount of time for them to be at least on civil terms with one another. He surely is having some kind of dreams about Zeref huh~? Mavis won't have to be jelly for long~ Juvia's quite fun though, she's always up for a laugh. Aries had a day off for a little while, and Virgo...well, she speaks for herself, just plain coolness. Hehe, they both had different, yet very explosive, and fun entrances that I enjoyed writing for. Levy's name is quite easy too, must be a meaning too it, or Kazuya just remembered her name because of, circumstances, or just pure luck. The force is strong in that one. I fear for it too honestly...he's going to be frightened or in awe of her. Or both. Juvia just wants a little love, and it seems she wants it that way huh~? Right now he has yeah, but in the future they'll be more evenly balanced. He's gonna be teaching them a little bit during that time. And yeah, he can relate to that, very much actually. He is impressed with her yeah, and even more so in this chapter too. Just wait until he meets her, he's gonna be quite flustered too~ She scared Levy, though I think most would be petrified if they came across Juvia like that huh. In this chapter, they get even closer, even if it is unwillingly. It is quite important this chapter! And thanks, I will try my best!
Guest 1; Yeah, perhaps~
T-B-R; Aah, thank you very much! Hehe, that's Erza here~ She's quite fun to do~ Juvia is awesome, and Mavis will be getting a little love in this chapter.
Anime PJ; Aah, thank you! She really did, though because of the tough situation she's been in, it can be forgiven. Some might do, but I find it fun to do, and there's just so many fun scenes to do with her, I just love writing for it, and wait until the future, it is going to be some great fun when it comes to that~ Yeah, he's developing quite a bit since the first chapter, though he has some ways to go before fully trusting humans. Juvia's just awesome, isn't she? Here's some more!
Ragna; Cool, suggestions! I do remember, and well, there's always just making a new body, maybe a Demon's body or something. Or, just resurrected like Silver was.
Primevere; Yup! He's surely opening up, at least the best that he can right now. Mira's always awesome. Whether that's her being cute and cuddly, or a badass. She does, and not in this chapter either, but she will be making her comeback quite soon. Yup, they'll be meeting quite soon~ It's going to be interesting~ And thanks!
ShadowUzumaki55; Yup, he's quite developing from the boy in chapter one, and he's not done yet. There's a reason for that in the future. It will be shown why. Erza's harem force, it truly is going to be fun when she meets the others in the harem, just can't wait for that. Juvia's just amazing, that's quite fun~ Really...? Well, it is Juvia so...it is quite something.
Skull Flame; I suppose so. That's how the voting went. It was very close though so, every vote matters I guess. Yup, they are gonna be fighting quite soon, and yeah, now thinking about it, it kind of does. Juvia's just fun to write, she really is quite enjoyable to write, especially when she goes, all Juvia. Yup, they are meeting this chapter. And thanks!
Neonlight01; Well, after everything Mira and her siblings went through, a stranger in town is gonna raise alarms. Juvia's quite awesome, isn't she? It is something different, and that's how the voting went as I said last chapter. It's just how it came about honestly.
Lightwave; That's Erza here for you~ She's quite...scary when she wants to be. Just wait until they meet, mind blown. Poor Levy, she was about to get broken by Juvia. They are cute together when they say such things, and it will be make a little sense later on with what they said and such. Yeah, that's how it went down. It could've gone either way, and it was quite close, but in the end, it showed that a few more people wished for what's happening, than what happened in canon. I'm not disputing that, but here, he's gonna be, different, how will be revealed honestly.
With those reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!
Fight for the town part two!
"I don't…understand…"
Kazuya, who looked around 15 to 17 years old, questioned this aloud.
He didn't know where he was nor did he care right now. It felt like something was slowly encompassing him, like he was going to be taken away somewhere, and he wasn't sure if he was going to enjoy what was going to happen now.
But he felt…right.
He felt good inside of his body right now, he felt like he belonged their right now, and the setting was quite, romantic looking. He didn't have much of a concept of romantic settings, but the heart shaped bed he was on, and the candles lit around the room, told the young boy that there was something more than meets the eye that was going on here.
He didn't mind though, as he enjoyed the feeling of the sheets on the bed, and he enjoyed how the warmth of the candles wasn't too hot. The feelings that he felt right now, where like no other. He didn't think that he'd ever feel something like this, but in a way, he felt good about whatever was going to happen now.
"Kazu…"
Kazuya's body felt like it had been swept up by an Angel.
Immediately, he felt good inside of his chest again…
He didn't know why, but whenever he heard that voice, he felt like he was a completely different person, and his body acted on its own.
Even when he felt arms wrap around him, he didn't care, the touch of the skins he felt set aflame to his body, at least on the inside. Kazuya could see the milky like skin that was on the arms, and he also felt something press against his back.
They were big, and lovely, and even felt good too. He could feel something poking on his back, two something's that was. He also noticed that he was also nude right now, he didn't even have any underwear on either…
But it was just so surreal, that he didn't have any complaints about it now.
All he cared about was the fact that the persons arms were around his waist, and they wouldn't ever let him go ever again, and if they did, it almost would be devastating…he couldn't have something like that happen to him again.
"Shhhhh, now, my sweet. You're okay now…"
The voice made him melt on the spot.
He couldn't stop it, but that's how he felt. He felt good inside of himself right now, like the ground could shake, and he simply wouldn't care. He, just felt euphoric, like he was being treated kindly, even if only with words.
"…Ooh, please don't go again…"
It was as if someone else was speaking for him.
It was his voice, and his mouth that moved, but it didn't sound like it was actually him speaking again. Though the words he said, he bought each and every one of them, and loved the ideas that were going on.
Kazuya then felt a pair of lips press against his neck, sending a shiver down his spine, and a small moan escaped his lips too.
"My, that was cute Kazu."
The womanly voice murmured against his ear, and then nibbled on his ear. Kazuya's voice failed him, letting out small breaths, and even the female hugging him could tell that he was trying to supress the good feelings coming from her tender kisses.
"I'm sorry…it's just…"
He tried to find the words, but she placed an extra long kiss on his neck. The instant that she touched his neck with her lips, he was hooked. But when she left, he mentally pleaded for more from the being that was behind him.
"I know, don't worry. I'll find you soon…"
Kazuya's face turned backwards, to meet the person who said that, and saw a beautiful young woman who looked to be in her late teens, staring right back at him, giving him the most gentlest of smiles he had seen ever. It sent his heart up to heaven. He didn't know why, but he felt like he could go this moment, and he would be happy about that too.
"Please…Please find me soon…"
Kazuya's face displayed a worry like no other, and wouldn't be able to stop, until the young woman kissed his forehead, allowing a sense of relieve, and pleasure mixed together to ripple through his entirely body.
"I will…don't worry sweetheart, I'll find you soon, I promise…"
The promise that Kazuya yet didn't understand, but wanted too.
The promised thought of him finding her, and vice versa.
It was something that Kazuya enjoyed about the fact that he would be able to have something like that.
"Thank you…Thank you…"
Kazuya didn't know why he said that, and why his eyes turned teary either. He just knew that he enjoyed this, he loved the idea of the pair of them being together, he loved the idea of him and her being together.
The woman's hand went towards his face, resting on his cheek. Kazuya's hand enclosed around the hand on his face, and brought it to his chest, giving her a smile. He didn't know why, but he felt…truly good right now.
"Shhhh now, it's alright. Don't worry, I'm here for you now, I'll make you feel good when we meet again…I'll keep you safe, and sound. Don't worry Kazu…I know that it must be worrying, but you don't have to worry Kazu, I'm here for you now…"
"Please don't go…"
"I'm not going anywhere, ever again Kazu. Never again, I'll always be with you…when I find you, I'll definitely always be with you, my sweet boy…I'll always be by your side, Kazu. You don't have to worry…I'll come for you…"
Kazuya twisted his head and pressed his lips against the females lips, the female placing a hand on Kazu's shoulder, rubbing his shoulder gently, as her hand ran down his shoulder, down his arm, and went towards his crotch…
"Mmmmmmmm…"
Kazuya's mind came back to the real world…but something wasn't quite right.
Though he didn't open his eyes, he felt something blocking his lips, something like the dream that he had just had. But what he felt was soft…he didn't know what it was though. Human, something else entirely, he wasn't all that sure what it was.
He wasn't sure if he wanted to look…
But he did.
He opened his eyes, and what he saw was a very shocking thing to see…
It was Mavis, who was right before his eyes, locking eyes with him, and was kissing him.
He froze…
He immediately froze and just stared on. Mavis herself seemed to be enjoying it, even smiling into the kiss.
Kazuya himself couldn't accept such things easily, and made a look within her eyes, showing how weird he felt about it right now. He, just didn't know what he was supposed to feel. Was he supposed to be happy? To be sad? He didn't know what he was supposed to feel about this right now, it just made a concern for him to only be more real.
"Aaah!"
Kazu broke away from her lips, putting a hand to his mouth, and looked disgusted, and shocked, and even felt weird too. He didn't know why, but he felt his heart beating faster, and faster, he felt his eyes brimming with new, and different feelings.
"My, Kazu. I didn't expect it. I was only checking up on you as you kept making noises, and suddenly, you lunge, and kiss me on the lips. Of course, I was very shocked that you did something like that. But, it wasn't so bad, was it?"
Kazuya just stared at her, not knowing what she was supposed to do.
Kazuya watched as Mavis put a hand to the top of his head, stroking his hair gently.
"W-What are you doing!? Y-You're kissing me!?"
Kazuya showed a true face like a boy his age, and was embarrassed about the kiss.
He usually showed quite a mature personality, and even held himself to being mature…but right now, he couldn't hide his own age with such embarrassment that he felt, he even couldn't hide the trembling lips that he had.
Mavis gave a slight tittering sound.
"I didn't kiss you, you kissed me. How scandalous, of you. I always felt that we had some deeper connection, but I didn't think that you'd kiss me like that, I was suddenly shocked, and amazed at the same time. But, it wasn't bad. Though, you should've been a little older before you kissed me like that~ Good thing that we didn't have a deep kiss huh."
Mavis was quite nonchalant about it…but that wasn't shared by Kazuya himself, he wouldn't allow himself to suddenly just be okay with it, he took it to be a very serious thing, even if it wasn't to Mavis, well not on the same level as Kazuya's thoughts himself.
"B-But that's…k-kissing!? I was supposed to be kissing…b-but, you kissed me?! A-And we kissed one another!? When did we decide something like that!? I can't even get together with anyone anymore, because we shared such a thing together…w-we can't even think about something like that, can we…? I don't want to get married at my age! I read that if you kiss someone, you have to marry them! Though I wasn't sure what kissing was until recently, getting married is... Even then, I don't know who I'd marry! D-Do I have to marry you now!? Y-You kissed me on the lips, and suddenly things are happening, and I'm confused at the same time too!"
"M-Married!? W-We're not getting-"
CRASH!
"KAZUYA-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! PLEASE DON'T GET MARRIED TO ANYONE OTHER THAN JUVIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Juvia came bursting through the room, with a pan in her hand, looking around the entire room for Kazuya.
Kazuya himself remained blanked face when Juvia's eyes fell upon him, and made a sigh of relief that Kazuya wasn't in any danger. Mavis herself had moist eyes, and looked like she was about to cry too, for the ruined moment.
"Juvia-san, what's wrong?"
Juvia's mouth hung open as Kazuya stared at her.
Due to his lack of upper clothing, Juvia's face immediately went through several shades of red.
"J-Juvia didn't think that she'd witness Kazuya-sama in such a state of dress for a long time yet! B-But, Juvia can understand! Kazuya-sama doesn't want to marry anyone else, so Juvia came to save Kazuya-sama! S-So, where is the woman that wants to marry Kazuya-sama!?"
Juvia, couldn't see Mavis, and just looked around with a wild look in her eyes.
She didn't think that she would be able to do something like that.
Mavis on the other hand, was stunned by what she had seen and heard.
"…How in the heck did she even hear something like that…? At least from my side…did she stay up all night, and listen to Kazu's activities? Uuu, I don't know what to think of this girl, I've never met a girl quite like this before…I don't know what to think about this right now…"
As she thought about it, Kazuya stood up from the bed, not really caring that he was only wearing his underwear, addressing Juvia, as she caught sight of him in his boxers, Juvia's face heating up even more, and steam came out of her ears.
"Kazuya-sama!? Y-You're showing Juvia such a state of dress!? Does that mean Juvia and Kazuya-sama surely have such a special connection!? Juvia is even able to see the outline of Kazuya-sama's…" She looked down at his crotch, and Kazuya placed a hand over his crotch so she didn't see anything, Juvia's eyes burning with passion. "KAZUYAAAAA-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! JUVIA'S MIND CAN'T TAKE SUCH STIMULATION! JUVIA'S MIND WON'T BE ABLE TO CONTINUE ON IF SHE SEES SOMETHING LIKE THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!"
Kazuya watched as a fountain of blood comes out of Juvia nose, and she falls backwards.
"Juvia-san, are you alright!?"
Kazuya caught Juvia's body in his arms, Juvia's eyes fluttering heavily as he held her in his arms.
"Kazuya-sama, Juvia's mind is going through the ringer at the moment. Hearing Kazuya-sama is getting married, and Juvia's mind is also has seen many things that have been before her. Even seeing Kazuya-sama's male body part. It seems like Juvia won't be able to carry on for much longer…"
Kazuya watched as Juvia slipped into…something.
Her mind seemed to be blank, and her eyes looked like she was going to be going through something else too. Juvia didn't know what she was going to say, or what she was going to do…she felt like life was slipping away from her…
But Kazuya snapped her out of it by tapping her on the cheek, bringing her out of it.
"Juvia-san, please calm down. You don't have to worry or anything, I'm not getting married."
"Y-You're not Kazuya-sama? Not even to Levy-san?"
Kazuya had to wonder why she had brought up Levy specifically, but it didn't matter right now, they had things that they had to do after all.
"Why would I want to marry Levy-san?"
Juvia's eyes got overwhelmed with tears, Kazuya didn't know why that was at all.
"Juvia's so happy that Kazuya-sama had said that! Today, has started off on the best day ever! Thank you Kazuya-sama, Levy-san is no longer the competition. Juvia can go forward with her heart set on the right track. Yes, Juvia is never going to lose now, Juvia will do her best in the future too!"
"Competition for what?"
Mavis knew what Juvia meant, at least she thought she did, but Kazuya didn't have a clue on what she was talking about.
"Juvia's so happy! Kazuya-sama doesn't even see the other women! Only Juvia!"
Kazuya felt awkward was Juvia hugged onto his body, Kazuya's mind wondering why she was hugging him. He wasn't used to something like this. Juvia was quite clingy, he couldn't deny something like that.
"Empress, why have you, gathered us, here?"
An old man, appearing to be in his late seventies, to mid eighties with a long white beard spoke towards a girl that had long black hair. There were others around, but they were dressed in armour, they looked like some kind of army.
However, unlike the woman and the old man, some of the Knight's, looked a little, weirded out, and even seemed awestruck too.
"I, need your help. I myself cannot locate Kazuya. It's been a while since I've also felt his presence, though if I am write I have a certain idea which way he is going. That boy always had a sweet tooth after all. And I have heard that there is a certain place that sells delicious chocolate, or so I've heard anyway."
"I see…and you can't cover all of the ground yourself?"
The old man guessed, to which the woman nodded her head.
"It is getting more difficult in controlling my powers. The more I desire him, the more they run rampant. I, slowly am slipping away between desire, and despair. That's why, I called upon you, August, to come and help me in this task before I completely go to the other side. At first, I could hold it back…but, now that I can't, I need your assistance. I, didn't want to involve anyone else until now, I'd prefer to have just met him on my own…but circumstances cannot allow that. Before anything, I need to make sure that Acnologia does not get to him."
"Yes, I shall send discreet squads to each village, and town in the entire country until we find Sire again."
The girl placed a hand over her heart, nodding her head.
"I could always count on you August. I am sure you also wish to see him."
"Of course, it is a high honour that I be asked to aid you in this task. And of course, to see Kazuya-sama and you together, fills my heart with joy, as with all of the empire too. It has been a long time since you've been back."
"I've been searching for Kazu, after what happened…I didn't think I would see him again, but I sensed him again…and I've been tracking him down, and no longer can I keep tracking him like this. Acnologia has also taken an interest in him."
"Acnologia…to think he'd target Kazuya-sama too…"
The old man, August also had an expression that said he didn't want to think about such things.
"Well, Acnologia only wishes for destruction, and a powerful opponent…and unfortunately, it seems like my boy has been targeted too…"
"Do not worry Empress, we'll use all of our resources to track down the Sire too."
The girl allowed her head to bob up and down.
"If you're saying that, then I can count on you too."
"Yes, I shall track down the young Prince. I have brought the best sensors that the empire has, and I am sure that we will be able to track him down, even if he isn't using magic. Unlike Acnologia, we shall track down the young Prince without having to rely on sensing his powers."
"Good, I'm glad that you've said something like that August."
The girl named Zeref was quite happy right now.
But she was doing her best to keep herself calm and not to try and think about it so much. He, didn't want to think about it, but she had to think about it right now, because she was going to be reunited with Kazuya again.
"Good, we'll track down the young Prince yet. Do not be concerned Zeref-sama, Kazuya-sama shall be by your side soon too. And, Larcade has been asking after you too."
"I see…well, regardless if Larcade has or not, I simply don't have time to respond right now. Larcade has to understand that right now, I don't have the chance to say anything about that right now, I have to think of something else…I have to think about Kazuya."
"I understand, Zeref-sama. Because of your situation, you're not allowed to feel such things."
Zeref nodded her head.
"I can only focus on Kazu right now."
August understood what she was talking about, and knew that no matter what, she wouldn't be able to care about anything like that.
"Oh, Irene also sends her regards too, and is waiting for your orders too."
Zeref merely nodded, as she thought about something's.
"Irene…until the time is right, she can remain where she is. I, have some ideas on what she can do, but I do not need her right now. Until he comes back, nothing is to be decided, understand me August? Kazu, needs to be found, right now."
"Yes." He replied immediately, and then turned towards the guards, and Knight's standing nearby. "Now, you heard your Empress! Go out, and find Kazuya-sama! Everyone is already aware on who this person is, and how important he is, so do not rest until we've found this boy, understood?"
[Yes sir!]
The guards set out, immediately running away while doing what they needed to do to find Kazuya.
August then turned towards Zeref, and saw how she looked slightly depressed.
"Empress, please do not feel too much until we find Kazuya-sama. Soon, you'll be able to meet him again, and feel thanks to his special powers."
That's all Zeref wanted in the end…well, she wanted Kazu beside her, and the other things were added bonus'.
"Yes…soon, I shall be able to embrace my special boy again…my Kazu…so long, I've not been able to hug you…but now, I'll be able too…yes, I shall find him…and be with him again…my Kazu."
August watched as Zeref controlled herself the best that she could. Even though she wanted to feel it, she couldn't. She couldn't feel it, or she'd kill everyone that was around her, she didn't want something like that to happen.
"So…" Levy looked between Juvia, and Kazuya, seeing his face neutral, and hers a blushing mess. "…what happened this morning? I thought that there was screaming and such going on?"
"There was a lot of yelling, wasn't there?"
Mirajane cocked an eyebrow up suspiciously, Kazuya didn't see it as a problem.
"Juvia-san came into my room, and jumped to conclusions, she thought I was getting married, which I am not, and then she saw my body-"
"Ooh wow! Juvia-san saw Kazuya-san naked!?"
Lisanna squeaked out, Juvia's mind briefly imagining Kazuya naked, causing her face to turn deep red, smoke coming out of her ears.
"My, who knew that Juvia here was so bold?"
Mirajane couldn't help but tease, Juvia's eyes swimming around in the back of her head.
"I wasn't naked, I was wearing my underwear."
That put a downer on Mirajane's fun.
"Oh…okay, that makes…actually, that makes less sense. I don't think that I would care if I saw you in your underwear."
Mira sighed out, as Juvia's eyes turn wider and wider. Thoughts of what she saw this morning ran through her mind, and then thoughts of what Levy could have seen, and that thought along made Juvia become a little pissed off.
"Have you seen that Levy-saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan?"
Juvia leaned in closer, and closer, practically in her face, Levy's body erupting in a cold sweat. Especially when Juvia's eyes were big, bigger than normal peoples eyes, she looked even to have a bigger head too.
"Y-You're a little close…"
Levy tried to put distance between the two of them, but Juvia just leaned across even more, and just blankly stared at her.
"But, you didn't answer the question Juvia asked."
Levy felt like crying at this point. She even moved closer to Kazuya just for protection, but Juvia's eyes seemed to tighten on Levy for such a movement, it was like she was doing it to hurt Juvia personally, at least from Juvia's eyes.
"I-I haven't! The closest I have seen is with Kazu-chan having his shirt off! T-That's it! I swear! That's all I want to have! Please don't look at me like this! I'm quite scared right now! Please don't do anything like that to me!"
Levy did the only thing that she could…
That was sob.
She didn't want to do that, but she was immensely frightened right now.
"Levy-san, why are you crying right now?"
Levy didn't know what she was going to say, and neither did Juvia who just stared right at Levy.
"O-Oh, it's nothing…j-just, thinking about what Juvia-san was just saying is all…d-don't worry about me! Don't worry, I won't say anything else! Please don't worry Juvia-san, he's all yours! I won't say anything else!"
Juvia nodded her head, knowing that it would be for the best if she said something like that.
"Anyway, training, you're going to teach us how to do magic, right?"
Mirajane looked towards Kazuya as did the others.
He looked like a deer caught in headlights, not sure what he was supposed to say right now.
"Well, I'm not an expert or anything on the subject, so I don't know if I could do something like teach you magic…"
"Ooh go on Kazu~ I can help you with the technical stuff~ You've got some knowledge on magic, why don't you do it now?"
Mavis, over his shoulder, advised him, so he sighed, and accepted responsibility.
"Alright then, if I can actually teach you guys anything, then I can do that too…I'm sure that by the end of the week, when the fights are going to come, you'll know at least a little amount of magic…yeah, I can see it happening anyway."
"Yippe! I can't wait to learn!"
Lisanna cheered as Mirajane smiled at her younger sisters hyperness.
"Seems like you're excited Lisanna."
"Of course Mira-nee! We get to learn magic powers too! Just think of when we get to have fun like that! amazing, I can certainly feel it deep within me! Mira-nee, Elfman-nii-chan, it is going to be amazing! We'll learn so much!"
Kazuya just watched on, trying to contemplate why she seemed to be so excited all of a sudden, when it didn't make sense to him, he didn't think that she'd be like she was right now, and then there was the fact that Lisanna also kept looking towards him with hopeful eyes…he didn't know how he was going to handle this.
"So, it is time to teach magic, is it? It seems like you all looked determined, I am sure that it would be fine if we all learn about magic."
Kazuya looked on as Mira, Levy, Lisanna, Elfman, and Juvia all sat in front of him. Mira looked a little bored, Levy looked willing, Lisanna was the same, Elfman looked excited too, and Juvia was drooling from her mouth.
Mavis floated next to Kazuya as he tapped the board that he was using, drawing on it with a marker pen. He drew a circle, and explained about what he was going to say.
"Okay, so magic. We're going to be learning about that today. Though, I'm not an expert, I've had someone teach me the essentials of magic, and what happens, and how it works, and other things like that. You see, magic is all around is, it is in the air. It's a thing called Ethernano."
"Ethernano? What is that Sensei?"
Levy was getting into it deeply, she was a book worm after all, and Kazuya had never taught her something like this. She had a good grasp of using magic, but she hadn't ever actually come across this term before.
"Yes, okay. To utilize Magic, a Mage must use their, as the case may be, power. Ethernano is the source of Magic Power for all Mages. Every Mage has a "container" inside their body that determines the limits of their Magic Power. If the case becomes empty, Ethernano will come from the atmosphere and enters the Mage's body and after a while, their Magic Power is restored. It is all around us, in the air. However, I've heard that if there's a high concentration of it in one area, then people can't live there because, I believe it could be detrimental to the people."
Levy nodded strongly at the lesson, allowing herself to take in everything that he was saying.
Elman though wasn't sure about something.
"I've heard that only around ten percent of people are actually Mage's and can use magic, is that right?"
Kazuya nodded at his doubt.
"That is true. Ninety percent of people cannot use magic or are unwilling too, but ten percent of the population can use magic. All of you sat before me, have the potential to use magic, and in the case of two of you, can actually use magic." They all looked happily between them, as Kazuya nodded to himself. "This, is also something good too. Because, we'll be fighting against a bandit gang in a few days. Of course, we can't get you all up to the power to use like, tidal waves for magical power. But, by the end of these two days, I'm confident that I can at least teach you how to use a little bit of magic, at least enough to defend yourselves and such. Because, it seems like the adults have given up, so the children have to come in and become stronger than the others in such a regard."
They all seemed happy about that, Kazuya noticed that Levy was taking notes dutifully.
"This is quite exciting Sensei! I'm enjoying it very much!"
Kazuya wasn't sure why she was enjoying it so much, but he was glad regardless, and the single fact that he also had to see Levy smiling, made it seem a little while worth it, Kazuya couldn't deny something like that.
"I'm glad that you are. Levy-san, and Juvia-san, already have good grasps on magic. On the other hand, the siblings don't, so it will be slightly harder to teach them in the allotted time that we have right now."
"Alright, I've got a question."
Mirajane brought up, Kazuya casting his eyes towards her.
"Yes?"
Kazuya waited for her to speak, and within seconds, she asked it.
"Right…so, magic. Can anyone learn anything?"
"Yes, they can, with the proper knowledge, or at least, most magic's can be taught." He explained. "Because, there are different types of magic, there are things that people will have to have knowledge on. Like, let's say Slaying types of magic. Like…hmmm, Dragon Slayer, or God Slayer, or whatever, you have to be taught Dragon Slayer by a Dragon, as far as I am aware anyway. Though, there's also called a…ooh crap, I can't remember…but it begins with L anyway…yeah, you can use that and then turn yourself into such a thing, that can also give people access to certain magic's too."
He was glad that Mavis was telling him this information as he went along, it helped having a friend that was invisible to everyone else, and not him, and he could hear all of her words, and repeated them. Some of the stuff he already knew though, due to his own studies.
"So…let's say that I want to use, lightning magic, you'd be able to teach me that?"
Kazuya nodded his head.
"That's right, I can teach that, I learned it by myself from books, so I can pass on that knowledge. Also, sometimes people are born with more, inclinations towards certain magic's. I've heard that people can be born with certain things that can allow them to use certain magic's. Like, you've been born with special…inclinations towards such things."
Levy wrote that down, as Juvia stared at her.
Levy felt cold inside of her body, and wished that it would go away, but Juvia wouldn't stop staring towards her.
"Sensei!" Lisanna raised her hand, Kazuya nodding. "What type of magic do you use?"
"Well, young girl, my main magic, I suppose, could be called Celestial Spirit Magic. I use this key-" Kazuya raised his golden key, following with a smile. "-to summon a spirit, in this case, Aries-chan, to come to my aid. I also use water based magic to fight, and even lightning and earth magic too sometimes. Though I can use fire magic too, if I so desire. I like to branch out, and try different things, though I haven't found one that I wish to use full time as of yet. I've been told that most Mage's go with magic's that they have a certain, feel for. Like I'm sure that's why Juvia-san uses water magic, because she has a certain, affinity for it."
"That's right~ Juvia's the water woman after all, so Juvia uses this magic to boast up her own magical power too."
Juvia puffed out her chest, as she looked determined right now, she wouldn't hold herself back now.
"Anyway, we'll all have to work together for this to work too. We fight, and I think that we should also make traps too. With Levy-san's magic, and Juvia-sans magic, we can already have some interesting combinations. I myself also have some ideas, but we'll go over that in the future."
"Right! Then, let's get to work! What do we do first?"
Kazuya smiled towards Mirajane who looked a little eager now.
"You have to meditate of course."
"Gwaaah! Really!?"
Mirajane didn't want to believe it, but he simply nodded his head.
"That's how it is."
"Uuggggh, that sounds boring!"
"Onee-chan, if that's what we have to do, then let's do it together, okay?"
Elfman brought up to Mira, who rolled her eyes, nodding her head.
"Fine, whatever. Even if it is boring, I suppose we'll have to do it, won't we?"
Kazuya nodded, explaining his best to how they would do it.
As he was speaking, he noticed that Juvia kept staring at him. He didn't know why that was, it was just a little creepy if he was honest with himself. The eyes that she had, and the face that she had too, everything about it seemed a little freaky and he felt like he was being watched by a hawk too.
However, unknown to them, there was a certain someone staring from afar at them, their eyes focusing in on Kazuya himself, and an eye of surprise came over the person.
A little while later, Kazuya watched as the siblings began glowing, and summoning some magic themselves. It didn't really have a shape or form, but from each of them, Kazuya sensed something different.
"Mavis-san…I've never come across one before, but Mirajane-sans aura, it seems to be a little…"
"Off, right?" He nodded his head. "The aura itself…it's weird, because from her, I sense something like a Demon, from the boy, I sense…like a beast or a monsters aura, and from the girl…the youngest one, I sense something like…hmmmm, an animal or something…? I sense it being like that. Weird…hmmmm, I don't think these people have normal types of magic…"
"What do you mean?"
Kazuya asked for the doubt of himself, Mavis nodding to herself, thinking of the best way to explain it.
"I remember reading about this once, and I believe that we've found a set of siblings that have a certain magic. I don't know if I can confirm it or not, but they all have the ability to Take Over things. And if we're right about the auras, then it seems like they can Take Over such things."
"Take Over…" Kazuya mused. "I've heard of that…don't you need certain factors for such things like that…?" Mavis was about to answer, when he saw that Elfman had a pained expression. "Oh, it seems like his magic is a little unstable."
Kazuya walked over towards Elfman, and tapped him on the head.
Immediately, he stopped using magic, and looked towards Kazuya.
"What's wrong?"
"You…should keep control over your magic. It seems like you're quite eager."
"Of course I am! I am the man of the family! I have to protect my Onee-chan and Imouto!"
"Then, stop rushing it. You should allow the magic to flow through you, not force it. If you force it, it could turn dangerous. Magic, has to be used in duration, not in full on force. You have to control it, not it control you. Trust me."
"R-Right…"
Elfman looked downwards but Kazuya just tapped his head.
"Don't sound so down, it isn't your fault at all. Even I was eager when I was learning my powers, but you just have to control yourself, and your power. as I said, it is all about control, if you can do that, then you're going to be on your way to being a good mage, okay Ellie-san?"
Mira, and Lisanna bit their bottom lips as Juvia right out laughed, Levy giggling to herself on the side, and as for Mavis…she couldn't contain her laughter, and rolled on the ground in laughter.
"E-Ellie?! That's not a manly name for me!"
"Well, I suggest changing it then. If you don't like your name that is, I can't suggest anything else at this time though. Maybe you should change your name to something else, maybe Roy would be a good name."
"R-Roy?"
Kazuya nodded his head, Mavis couldn't help but continue her laughing.
"Roy sounds good. Maybe Ellie is a little girly…but, it isn't such a bad name for a girl. I'd certainly like to meet a girl with the name Ellie…but for you Ellie-san, it might not fit at all, I'm sorry but that's how it is after all."
"B-But! My name isn't Ellie! It's Elfman! Not Ellie! But Elfman!"
"I'm just hearing the same thing at this point." Breathing out the worries, Levy knew where Elfman was coming from. "So yeah, have a good think, and if you think that your name could be something else, I'd go with Roy, or Elfman. Yes, I believe I've heard that before, and if not, that should be a name. Elf, and man together. Elfman is the best name for a budding man who wishes to stand among men, as I've heard you say. I shall dub you Elfman from now on."
"That's my name! It's Elfman! You can't dub my name that, because that's my name anyway! I am Elfman!"
Elfman cried out, Kazuya tilting his head.
"Is it? I'm pretty sure that it is Ellie-san."
"No, it's Elfman! How can you hear it now when you couldn't before!?"
Kazuya just blankly stared at him, as Lisanna clapped her hands together, a small wind being in her hand.
"Hey! Look at this! I made wind!"
Kazuya looked, and saw the same thing, the young boy nodding his head.
"Good work Lisanna-san." Elfman growled, seeing how he remembered Lisanna's name, and not his own. "You've done well. you've summoned wind, were you thinking about the wind when you were concentrating?"
"I thought about it when the wind blew my hair yes, is that why it came like this?"
Kazuya shrugged his shoulders as he walked over towards her.
"It could be your subconscious mind calling to the wind, and it resonating with it. Or maybe it is just a coincidence, who knows. Either way, good work Lisanna-san, you've done a good thing here. Next, I'll teach you how to use it properly."
Kazuya's hand went to the top of Lisanna's head, giving it a gentle pat, causing Lisanna's face to turn slightly red, Juvia's eyes widening and thought "Lisanna-san is also Juvia's love rival!?" while giving the stare of scary, Levy just glad that she wasn't being stared at right away.
"Y-Yes Sensei! I'm glad you think it's good!"
"Erm…okay. You don't need my approval or anything…but you've done well Lisanna-san. You've done it before your siblings anyway. It seems like you're quite talented at using magic's, it's quite the good skill to have."
Lisanna continued to smile up towards Kazuya.
Kazuya then turned towards Mirajane, and went towards her, as she felt agitated.
He bent his body before her, like he was sitting down, but didn't sit down, just bending his knees, and held his hands as they dangled in front of his frontal area, Mirajane sensing that he was right there, and was tempted to say something.
Mirajane's eyebrows twitched as Kazuya just stood/sat there, staring at her.
"I know you're looking at me right now."
"Yes, I am."
Kazuya didn't even deny anything at all, and just continued staring right at her.
"Why are you staring at me anyway?"
Mirajane was trying her best to keep her voice level, but she was failing herself.
"Because I want too."
His answer didn't exactly thrill the young girl…in fact, it kinda pissed her off.
"Don't speak so normally about it! I'm trying to concentrate here damn it! You told me to do it, and now you're bugging me!"
"If you truly were concentrating, then my presence wouldn't bother you at all."
Kazuya spoke sense in Mavis' eyes, and knew what he was trying to do. Actually, he was trying to help her in his own way, and this was the only way that he could help her, and even Lisanna could see that there was some help coming from his side.
"Grrrr, you and logic! J-Just get lost!"
"No."
Mirajane didn't like that at all, and wanted to deck Kazuya right there, and then…but she stopped herself.
If he was speaking truth, then she should be able to concentrate even if he was right there. She tried her best, she did her best to concentrate, she tried blocking out Kazuya the best that she could. If Lisanna could do it, then she was going to do it too, she was going to make sure that she summoned her magic too.
She did what Kazuya also said before, she remembered what he said, and that she was going to do it too. She, wasn't going to stop now, just because he was right there, in her face, and in her eyes, trying to provoke a reaction out of her.
As she was concentrating, Kazuya noticed the swelling of power that was going on.
"W-Whoa, what power…"
Levy seemed shocked by what she had seen, even Juvia was a little frightened.
"Such power exists in someone our age…?"
She couldn't believe it either, the water woman was worried about what was going on before her too.
"A-Amazing, so this is Onee-chan's power…"
Elfman couldn't concentrate as he saw the power radiating out of Mirajane.
Lisanna was speechless, as Mavis became curious about what power Mirajane had sleeping within her.
"Well, I suspected that she had such power." Kazuya spoke to himself, and then tapped Mirajane on top of her head. "You can open your eyes now Mirajane-san. I think that you don't have to worry about something like this."
Mirajane opened her eyes on his word, and then…
She becomes shocked.
Though they had been doing it for a little while, Mirajane's power was swelling around her. She could see her own aura, and so could the others. It wasn't like Lisanna's or Elfman's, they were small compared to her own.
"W-What is this…?"
She had her doubts, but Kazuya confirmed it while nodding his head.
"This is your magical power. It seems to be quite good for your age, and even my age too. It looks even stronger than some Mage's I've come across before, and I quite like it Mirajane-san, well done for having such power!"
"W-Well…I was just born this way, can't help it and all…"
Mirajane showed a modest face, then her siblings Lisanna and Elfman congratulated her.
Kazuya nodded to himself, then cleared his throat.
"Well then, it seems like you've summoned your power. I guess it is time to learn some magic, huh."
"Yes, let's learn something."
Mirajane had a small smile on her face, and she was eager to learn. Even Lisanna, and Elfman looked eager to learn too.
Meanwhile, as that happened, a hooded figure entered a certain room that was hidden within the mountains. The people inside looked all like people that had seen better days, having swords, and other things in their hands.
The hooded figure looked all over them, disappointment within their eyes.
"Haven't you found what you're supposed to find yet?"
The demanding tone of the hood really wasn't something that sat well with the leader of the gang.
"Look, I know you're new to this and all, but don't pretend to walk in here, and act all superior to us all."
Quite clearly, the leader wasn't too thrilled about being ordered around, especially by the person in front of them.
The hood took this chance to shoot off a glare.
"You're dispensable, didn't you know that? If you don't act, then you'll not receive protection from the Master, is that clear? He won't come to your side if you fail in your task. It might be a small village, but it holds something important…can't you people even see that? The Master won't be happy if you don't get it soon, proving your worth to him."
"Prove my worth…tch, haven't we already got this town begging for us to stop? Isn't that something that we desire too?"
"Again, you're not really going to be that useful if you don't get your stuff in order too. Soon, something is going to go down, and if you're not careful, you're going to be caught in the middle of it. So, if you don't find it soon, your lives are going to be sacrificed, understood?"
The leaders eyes snapped on the hood, and grabbed them by the scruff of the collar.
"Listen to me you little bitch! I won't be ordered around by the likes of you!"
The mans eyes blazed as his friends around him cheered for what was happening.
However, the hood stayed completely calm, pressing the small fingers they had against the mans hand, digging in their surprisingly sharp nails.
"You listen to me, you little bitch. I said before, that you're dispensable, and if you continue, persist being like this, then you can be easily replaced. We can send another group here, if you can't find what we're looking for. So, why don't you use what mind you have, and actually do your job?"
The hoods fingernails dug in so far that a small spot of blood came from the mans hand before he pulled away from her.
"Owww…you little…"
"I said before, and will do so again, failure will end up with your life being thrown away from us. Sorry, but that's how it has to be."
The man glared daggers at the hood, but the hood remained unconcerned.
"…We'll be ready by Friday."
"Good, then we'll have to be ready, won't we?"
The hood turned around, and walked away.
As they did, they could feel the glaring from behind but they didn't care…
They had something else on their mind.
And it all had to do with a blonde haired boy.
"Kazuya…why are you here now…? Please…just go before anything happens to you…please, I don't want you to die…please just head off somewhere else…please, for your safety…don't allow yourself to get hurt because of this…"
The hood pulled the hood back to reveal the face of a young…
"Hah! Try this!"
By the end of the day, Kazuya watched as a bolt of lightning erupted from the young girls hand, Mirajane's hand. It wasn't the size of a normal mage's blast, but it was pretty impressive that she managed to pick it up so quickly.
"Mira-nee! That's amazing! Well done Mira-nee!"
Lisanna cheered as she looked at the burn mark that was on the slab of concrete that Mira fired at.
"Y-Yes, Onee-chan is amazing to do such things."
Elfman praised his elder sister as she wore a confident smile.
"Wow, that is amazing too." Mavis conceded to Kazuya. "Hey Kazu, she seems to be quite the prodigy, huh."
"She does indeed, and that's what we need too."
Kazuya noted to Mavis who nodded in agreement.
"With a talent like hers, I can tell she's going to be stronger in the future."
Kazuya nodded, as Juvia looked towards Kazuya, seeing how he was admiring Mirajane quite closely.
"Kazuya-sama…could Kazuya-sama be drawn to magical power…? It has to be…that's why he has his eyes on Mirajane-san right now…she must be Juvia's rival too…well, Juvia also has lots of power too, Juvia will have to show it!"
Juvia made a decision in her mind, and walked towards Kazuya as her mind played a different event.
"Juvia-chan…"
"Yes, Kazuya-sama?"
Kazuya, with sparkles around his body, took Juvia by the hand, and then wrapped his arms around her body. Juvia's eyes turned towards Kazuya's face, and turned redder than anything else that anything else.
"Juvia-chan, are you feeling a little lonely my little rain drop?"
"Kazuya-sama's body is…"
Kazuya placed a hand on Juvia's face, stroking it gently. Kazuya's fingers also went over Juvia's face, and allowed his hand to slip down her chin. Juvia's eyes turned hazy as Kazuya leaned in, and gently pressed his lips against her own, Juvia's mind being blown.
"Eeh, Juvia-san, why are you kissing the air?"
Juvia was snapped out of her thoughts as she saw Kazuya's eyes following her incoming form.
Juvia paused, and felt her lips stuck out, and her body twitching too. Embarrassment immediately came over Juvia, her body jumping back, and held a hand to her chest, feeling her heart beat nervously inside of her chest.
"Ooh! Juvia was sucking up the air for her lungs!"
Levy rolled her eyes, and murmured "Liar…" causing Mirajane to nod in agreement, and Lisanna too.
Kazuya seemed to accept that and went back to looking at Mirajane as she powered down her aura.
Once getting in front of him, Juvia allowed her aura to flow around her, catching Kazuya's attention right away.
"Juvia-san, something the matter?"
Juvia's body twitched as the aura increased again and again. Kazuya couldn't deny something about her power increasing more and more.
"Juvia also has amazing power! See Kazuya-sama!? Feel Juvia's power!"
Juvia's body shook heavily, as she tried her best to concentrate her magical power, trying to show off that she was stronger than Mirajane.
Kazuya just watched her, trying to understand what she was doing.
"Erm, Juvia-san, I don't understand. Why are you showing me your power?"
"B-Because Juvia's got to understand it more!"
"Understand what exactly Juvia-san?"
Juvia didn't answer, and just continued breathing heavily as she allowed her power to increase…
Until she suddenly felt a zap of her power, and her aura was broken.
"…Uuu…"
Juvia was about to fall backwards, when Kazuya caught her hand, and held her close, Levy and the others looking on very shocked, as it looked like it was romantic when they held one another like that, Mavis seemingly peeved.
"Silly, you can't just use your power like that. Powering up, to just power up isn't a good thing Juvia-san."
"Juvia's sorry, she also wanted to show Kazuya-sama her power too."
Kazuya didn't know why she called him that, nor why she did what she did, so he just rolled his eyes and lifted her up bridal style, Juvia's face heating up as his arm went under her legs, and the other supporting her from the back.
"It seems like you've exhausted yourself Juvia-san. Allow me to carry you back to the house for some rest."
"Ooh Kazuya-sama…"
Juvia put her head against his shoulder, and snuggled in as he walked back to the house.
Over his shoulder, Juvia looked towards the disbelieving Levy, and stuck out her tongue, and wriggled it around like a snakes tongue, Levy's eyes turning heavily suspicious.
"Did she plan to do that?"
Mirajane questioned, her suspicious higher than before.
"I wouldn't put it past her…she seems to be quite infatuated with Kazu-chan."
Mirajane folded her arms, and then leaned closer towards Levy's annoyed looking face.
"And, you don't seem happy about that either."
"I-I'm fine! I don't care either way! Let them enjoy such fun together!"
Levy huffed, and acted as if she didn't care either way, but Mirajane saw something within the young girl, something that she enjoyed exploiting.
During the latter part of the next day, Kazuya went into the woods that were nearby to gather some herbs for the meal tonight. Levy said that she would be cooking something good if she had certain herbs, so he thought that this would be for the best, plus he wanted to gather himself, and his thoughts.
Since he never thought that he would be in a situation like this, Kazuya wasn't sure what to do.
Honestly, he didn't like spending time with humans…yet, he seemed to enjoy spending time with these people too.
RUSTLE!
Kazuya stopped his herb picking when he heard the slightest of noises from the left.
Placing a hand to his left, and right, he got into a fighting stance as he stared at the place where he heard the noise.
"There's no point hiding from me, I know that you're there. If you don't come out, I'll beat you down."
Kazuya warned with a dark glare in his eyes.
"How perspective of you, Sire."
Kazuya became confused as August walks out of the trees, and looks towards Kazuya himself.
Kazuya looked at the elder man, and wasn't sure what to think.
August walked forward, as Kazuya was on guard.
However, what he did next was surprising…
He just got onto one knee, and bowed his head towards Kazuya. He was kneeling towards Kazuya, very respectably Kazuya noticed. Even the idea of something like this happening was a weird concept to him.
"Sire, I am glad that you are well."
August spoke very respectably, and even continued to bow his head downwards.
"Sire…? Why do you call me that?"
More intrigued than ever before, Kazuya looked at the old man that kept bowing his head towards the young boy.
"I am sorry Sire, it seems like you're on an off day. It is I, August, at your service."
"At…my service?"
Kazuya seemed confused, and then, that confused August too, who looked up confused.
"Sire, what is wrong…wait, that look is…" It seemed like August was thinking hard about something. "Sire, I have some news for you. Perhaps, you've been searching for her as well, but I have been personally called to deliver you to her."
Kazuya didn't know what the old man was talking about, it seemed like he was talking about something intently, and even if it was, Kazuya wasn't sure what that thing was.
"Deliver me to who…? Are you with the bandits? Just because I'm helping Mirajane-san and this town, it doesn't mean that I won't hold back on you either. You know, I don't have a problem with slaughtering humans if they want to take me away again. Or, perhaps, you're with Brain, are you!?"
"Brain…? I do not know who that is Sire, nor do I understand anything about these bandits. The one I speak of is Zeref-sama."
Immediately, Kazuya's eyes turned watery, and his body quaked with renewed hope.
"Z-Zeref…y-you know of her…"
"Yes Sire, I serve under her. As I said, I have been tasked to deliver you to her. She has, missed you dearly Sire."
Kazu placed a hand over his heart, and felt warm.
"I've never met her though…how can she miss me so much?"
"Met her…? Sire, you're saying…" August eyes flickered, then he released a breath. "Kazuya-sama, I shall go back, and meet with Zeref-sama first, and explain the situation. Also, would it be acceptable if I arrange a meeting between you, and her for this evening at 12. Please say you'll come Sire. It is a very important decision, and it also happens to affect Zeref-sama also."
Kazuya didn't know what to do.
This was like a bomb of information.
Being called Sire, and even the chance to meet her…the girl that he had been pining for, something that he had been looking for, for so long, he was finally getting the chance. But, he wasn't sure about the motives of August himself.
"…I don't know what's going on…b-but that girl…she'll be there too…o-okay, for her…I shall be here…but, I will be placing…my own safety net just in case you're not telling me the truth, understand me Ojii-san?"
Kazuya looked carefully towards August, and he didn't see any deceit, he didn't see anything that would lead him to distrust August, even then it seemed like something was off, the way August was looking at him made him feel…weird.
"I wouldn't expect it any other way Sire. It is a very precautious move to do too. Yes, this is the thing that I wish to see from you Kazuya-sama. Please take any precaution that you deem necessary. But, once seeing Zeref-sama, I am sure that you'll connect with her instantly."
Kazuya still wasn't sure, but he wanted to have Zeref, he wanted to interact with the young woman, he wished to meet her again, and even though he felt unsure about it, he was definitely going to meet her, even if he had to lie to the others, he wished to meet her, and get some answers too.
"Yes…I suppose. Okay, set up the meeting then…but, I will be careful, and I won't be tricked either. If you're lying to me, then I won't forgive you do you understand me?"
"Yes Sire, I understand. I understand very much so."
"Good…then, I have to get back to my comrades."
Kazuya turned around, and walked away from August.
August himself just watched Kazuya walk away, and hid a tear that danced within his eye.
When Kazuya made it back to the Strauss siblings place, he had many thoughts dancing within his mind, but he didn't know how to express them clearly. Kazuya walked in, only to see that Levy was the only one in the kitchen, he didn't even see Mavis.
"Hey, Levy-san. Where is everyone?"
Asking with a small smile, Levy turned and smiled right back towards Kazuya.
"Well, besides Elfman-san who's outside training his magic, and such, the girls have gone for a group bath together. I decided to stay here, and cook the meals. Someone has to do it, right Kazu-chan?"
"Indeed…I'm surprised Mavis-san isn't here though. Did she leave a message?"
Levy shook her head as Kazuya walked forward towards her.
"Not that I can recall…though, I can't speak with her anyway, so I can't say anything. She didn't write anything down, I wasn't sure when she left…but, it seems like you've gathered the herbs, Kazu-chan?"
"Ah, yes. Here, I gathered these."
Kazuya handed the herbs to Levy, who took them, and began using them in different ways.
As he watched her, he saw that there was something wrong with her.
"Hey, Levy-san, you aren't worried about what's going to happen on Friday, are you?"
He guessed that was what she was feeling, due to the look on her face.
Kazuya himself knew the look on her face, and couldn't accept that she looked like that.
"Levy-san, do not worry, I won't allow anything to happen to you."
"Kazu-chan that's…"
Levy didn't think she'd hear him say something like that.
He bent his neck towards her, giving her a pat on the head.
"Do not be concerned, I shall make sure that we're all safe. Even if I have to beat them all down with Fairy Law…though I haven't perfected it yet either…either way, I will just have to do my best to use it if it comes down to it. We already promised to help out, so no point trying to get out of it now."
"But, Kazu-chan hasn't even used any magic to train unlike the others…is it because of the Dragon?"
Kazuya couldn't help but admire her intelligence.
"You're too smart for your own good. You picked up on that, right?"
Levy allowed her head to bob up and down in agreement.
"Kazu-chan always summons Aries-san, and I know that you've been a little less happy since you haven't summoned her. So, I could only conclude, after seeing that you haven't used magic yourself, that the magic you use, is attracting the Dragon, is that right?"
"Seems like it, that's what theory me and Mavis-san have. That's why I've been able to stay here…I'm surprised that you actually noticed something like that."
"It's not exactly hard to miss something like that Kazu-chan…but, if this is the way…does that mean, you'll never use magic again?"
At the question…Kazuya didn't know how to answer it.
"I…I will be using magic again, but only in times when I have too…it seems limiting myself is what I have to do right now."
Levy allowed her lips to curl upwards, regarding Kazuya with a smile.
"Don't worry Kazu-chan, if there's any magical thing that you need doing, just ask me, okay?"
"Ehe…when did you care about my needs?"
"Well, Kazu-chan also cares about my needs, so showing that right back is something important, right?"
Kazuya shrugged his shoulders, and then petted her head.
"Well, thank you for worrying about me, but I'm alright. Let's just take care of these bandits, and then we can get back to that place that sells much chocolate."
"Yeah! I can't wait!"
Levy bounced up, allowing her excitement to grow and grow, while Kazuya himself just smiled gently towards her, glad that she at least was feeling better. He could just tell that she was feeling better than she was before.
"Phew, what a day, right Kazu?"
Mavis sat in the small bath as did Kazuya.
Mavis was naked, and Kazuya was too, neither really had any shame in being naked around one another. Kazuya didn't see the point, and Mavis just didn't see the point to put something on either, since they knew one another quite well, even if the misunderstanding that happened this morning was quite a dangerous sight to behold.
"It has been a little weird to say the least. With the magic lessons, and such things…eeeh, hey, Mavis-san, you didn't just have this set up so I could converse with humans, right? It just seems like something you'd do."
Mavis looked offended, but could understand why he thought that.
"I never set anything up, I just went along with the flow, and if that means associating with humans, then so be it. I do keep saying it, and maybe you think I'm just going on and on about it, but I think this is for the best."
"…If you say it then maybe I should believe it, but even then, I find it difficult…but, why do you think the adults around here won't fight? I think it is because they are scared, and don't want to die…do you think the same?"
"Death, whether you're young or old, is a very scary concept. So, for adults that can't fight, wanting to go against mage's that have powers beyond their own, it makes it very scary. But, that's why guilds exist, to protect those that can't defend themselves. Even if Fairy Tail was here, I'd like to think that Kazu would also stay around and help…y-you'd do that, right?"
"…I don't know, if others could deal with it, then I don't know what I suppose…I don't know, I guess that I would do something like that…I guess, if I needed to help, then I would do something like that I suppose…"
It wasn't really the answer that Mavis wanted, but it was better than she would actually hear something negative. She heard it, and took it as a positive thing.
"Good, good. I'm glad that you said something like that."
"Yup, I suppose. But even then…hmmmm, I feel like…I don't know how to say it…because I know you're trying your best to help me interact with humans…I can speak with them and all…but, something inside of me can't trust them…"
"Ooh Kazu…"
She wasn't disappointed in him, and could fully well understand where this was coming from.
"I know, you probably think bad of me now for not trusting humans."
Mavis gasped, and then threw her hands up defensively.
"N-No! Not at all! I understand! It's just…I wish that you'd be able to let your guard down a little."
"I wish to be able to do that sometimes too…but, the way I see it, I have to always keep my guard up. It isn't anything personal to the humans around me, I just don't think that I can just let my guard down around them…even people like Levy-san and the others…they seem to be having fun and all…I sometimes wish that I could be like that too…"
Mavis hummed to herself, seeing how despite it all, despite everything that he had gone through, he truly was just a boy that wished to have some fun sometimes too. But, unlike the others who were, presumably, brought up in normal environments, he just didn't know how to express his thoughts on the subject clearly, and couldn't allow himself to enjoy the company of humans, not wanting to get hurt.
Kazuya took some soap, placing it on the sponge, readying himself to wash his body.
Mavis then cleared her throat.
"Also, it seems that our little theory is right. It seems that the Dragon, hasn't come here, and we've been here since yesterday. Usually, it would've showed up by now, but it hasn't, and you've not used magic, right?"
Kazuya shook his head as he ran the sponge down his neck, Mavis' eyes lingering on his form.
"I said that I wouldn't, even if I want to summon Aries-chan, and all. She must be worried by now…but, it does seem to be right. This is what I have to do something like this. It has to be chasing after my magic power…but, how can it do something like that…? I mean, people use magic all of the time, so why does it know my own magic power? I mean…how could it know such things…?"
Kazuya didn't understand that.
Out of everyone in the world, the Dragon can track him no matter where he goes. Even if he gets far away, it seems like he knows where Kazuya is, even if it could sense magic, it seemed to be honed in on him all of the time, and he always had to wonder why that was.
"It must have a good track of your scent. How that is I cannot be sure. The magic you use…well, everyone's power is different. My magic, and yours has different signatures, and the Dragon must know which signature is your own. I don't know if it sniffs that out, or can sense it naturally…I wouldn't know, but maybe we'll have to ask her…she'll know more about it, right?"
She almost forgot that Kazuya hadn't actually met her in person yet, therefore he probably wouldn't know, and felt stupid when it slipped out of his mouth, and saw how despite everything going on, Kazuya seemed to be showing a normal expression.
"That's right, we'll have to ask her…Zeref…that's the name, right?"
"Yes, that's the name, she knows more about it than I do. I only know some different things about it. But, I do have to wonder that if she can sense magic too…why hasn't she shown up just yet? Besides that time in the forest I mean."
Mavis placed a finger to her lips, humming about what she should be thinking about right now.
"Well…I don't know, but it feels like she's trying…but that magic…I remember it during the forest…and it seemed so familiar…the death magic or decaying magic…whatever it was, that made the trees die…"
"Yeah, it seems like there's a bad thing about it huh…"
"Yes…" Kazu looked down at the water, and placed his finger in it, the water rippling around his finger. "Mavis-san, last night, or this morning, whatever…I had a lovely dream about that girl…who was holding me behind and gave me a kiss…on my lips…it was really amazing, I enjoyed it…"
"Oh, so you are fine with kissing her, but when it's me, it's suddenly all weird?"
Mavis put on an understandable pout, due to how different it seemed when he kissed his dream woman, and then kissed Mavis. From her understanding, it was like he enjoyed the fact that he was with them, and yet at the same time, he wasn't enjoying kissing her either.
"You and she are different to one another, that's why."
Kazuya didn't mean it in a negative way, but that's how it was after all.
"How am I different to her exactly?"
Mavis wanted answers this time, she wasn't going to quit until she got the answers that she desired either.
"Because there's a difference, is all…I mean, I feel differently about such things…w-when we meet one another, it will all make sense in the end…don't worry, it isn't like that I am going to suddenly say that it is a bad thing, am I? I mean, kissing you, and her were different things all together…"
"But, why was it different? I mean, the kissing that we did wasn't so bad…I certainly enjoyed it and all that stuff…but even then, I feel like there's something that you didn't like about it…"
Mavis continued to pout, so Kazuya raised his hand, and patted her head.
"It's different, that's all. I can't explain it, but kissing her is…well, I just feel good, is all, and when it is with you…it's…erm, I don't know how to say it without offending you, so I think that I will keep it to myself."
"N-No, just say it…it's because her boobs are bigger, isn't that right?"
"It's got nothing to do with her breasts, but yes, she does have bigger ones than you."
Mavis' eyes become like water, and she turns her eyes towards the baths water, shedding a few tears.
"I knew it…these small ones don't even appeal to Kazu either…"
"W-What's wrong with you? Why would I care about the size of your boobs?"
Kazuya looked towards Mavis, and his eyes went towards her chest.
He wasn't checking her out for perverted reasons. He merely wanted to understand why Mavis was displeased with having small breasts.
Mavis, when he didn't say anything, turned towards him, and saw his eyes on her breasts.
"W-Why are you staring at my breasts?"
"Oh, erm, because I am trying to understand something about your breasts."
"What?"
She became suspicious, but he just continued staring at her chest.
"It's just, yours are smaller than Aries-chan…hmmm, I don't understand the development of females, and males."
"M-My boobs are great too! Even if they are small! They aren't bad either! I like my breasts! They are enjoyable!"
"Well, they are bigger than Levy-sans so take comfort in that."
Mavis' bottom lip trembled heavily, which made her seem more depressed by the second.
"That doesn't comfort me! Levy-san hasn't even begun growing yet in that area! So, it is unfair to compare me to such things! I am older than that!"
"Okay, that's how it is. Well, even if she has, I don't understand the difference between small and big, they are the same as always, aren't they? I mean, small boobs, and big ones really aren't all that bad, are they? What's the difference? Size? Should something like that matter at this point?"
Being quite the child that he was, he didn't realize the difference between large and small chests, and didn't even care if he was honest with himself. Mavis actually took that as a comfort however, and enjoyed herself immediately even more in the bath.
"I-I don't know what to say either! B-But, Kazu. Since you came back from the forest, it seems like you've been thinking about something hard, is there something going on with you Kazu? Wanna talk about it with me?"
"Oh…no, nothing at all, don't worry. There's nothing to worry about, I'm just thinking about something clearly, you know what I mean about that? Either way, it's just something that I have to think about right now, I can't think about anything else…it seems like that I have to think about something like this. But you know…once we get these bandits, what are we supposed to do with them?"
"Right…well, we'll have to contact authorities, and get them to come. I mean, they can't deny it if the adults say something, right? Once this is over, we'll have to get the adults of this town to take responsibility for everything like this."
Kazuya nodded as he slunk down in the bath.
"I'm glad that you would say something like that, the humans need to take care of their own problems. But, I suppose at least Mirajane-san and her own siblings are taking responsibility above the adults seemed to be, isn't that right Mavis-san?"
"Yes, that's right. And also, what a flow of power, they've surely become quite strong in such a time. Even though we have our fight soon, it seems like they aren't backing down. Those people would make lovely members of Fairy Tail too~ Such full of kindness, compassion, and even if Mirajane-san doesn't show it, she's got the most love, and concern out of all of them. She's surely doing her best to make everything okay, isn't she? She even took lessons from you, an outsider, just so she can become stronger."
Kazuya couldn't deny that, it was one of the things that he actually admired about Mirajane. If anything, he was shown that there are still people that care for their siblings, and Mirajane, despite her anger, it seemed like she was a good person.
"You're right, Mavis-san. Mirajane-san really…is a nice person underneath it all…I don't know much about Fairy Tail, but from the sounds of it from what you've said, it does sound pretty good for these people anyway."
Mavis hummed as Kazuya allowed his mouth to slip into the water, but allowed his nose to keep above the water so he could breathe.
He thought about it, and made a true decision.
He was going to make a stance tonight, and find out what he wished to find out…he needed to know if Zeref was there, or not.
Finally…
It had appeared to be midnight.
Kazuya couldn't help but feel a little weird.
He didn't think that he'd be doing something like this, he honestly thought that he wouldn't be doing something like this, meeting someone without even telling Mavis. But, he had to find out what was inside of his heart, and that compelled him to come here.
Even though he was excited, his more rational side also took comfort in the fact that Zeref was going to be there.
He didn't have a reason to actually explain why he felt like this was going to be good, but he knew it inside of himself, he just knew that deep within his heart, there was a certain feeling that he was going to be meeting someone that he had been waiting for, for so long now.
But Kazuya wasn't naïve either.
He had set up traps, just in case that the person who he met, deceived him.
He wanted to believe that August was going to deliver Zeref to him…and that Zeref was the person he imagined…but, something inside of him told him that it wasn't something that he would be able to stand.
As seconds turned to minutes, Kazuya was getting worried that this was a scam, and that something terrible was going to happen…
But that all changed when August stepped out of the area of darkness and came into the light. The gentle looking old man while carrying a staff. Kazuya looked around to see if he could see Zeref, but he couldn't see anything beyond the darkness.
"S-So, where is she then?"
Kazuya demanded, looking for Zeref but couldn't find her.
"She'll be along within a minute, she's just readying herself for you. But first…Kazuya-sama, I must ask you a certain something. Would that be acceptable?"
Kazuya didn't have a reason behind not answering such things.
"Sure…what's that then?"
"Yes, Sire. The idea of being reunited with Zeref-sama, must be something overwhelming, right?"
"Is that what you wish to ask?"
Kazuya's eyes scrunched up at the odd question.
"It was. I was just wondering, is it so important to be in the arms of Zeref-sama herself?"
That…was a question Kazuya truly had to think about.
"I…well, I don't understand my feelings, but I feel like I should know about such things. I understand what is going on…I wish to say that, but I honestly don't know about it right now. My heart is also feeling weird about it. But, I do know that I wish to be with her. I, wish to meet her again, and confirm something inside of myself."
After hearing his answer, August bowed his head respectably.
"That's a very good answer to hear, Kazuya-sama. I am sure that you'll be taken care of when meeting her…someone that truly does love you."
"Yes…I am glad that you said something like that because my heart is already beating nervously…w-when is she getting here again?"
"Soon, very soon."
Kazuya nodded, and just waited.
His eyes looked at the traps he had set, and knew how to spring them if August tried anything, or if anyone tried anything from behind him too.
Just then, as Kazuya was becoming worried, a figure stepped out of the darkness.
Kazuya saw the clothes that the young woman had on, like a toga, somewhat. It was predominantly black in colour. The blackness of her hair blended into the darkness of the night, but Kazuya could see the length, which was quite long, but not overly so. Her breasts though, they were bigger than he had seen before on a female, but they weren't so big that they could be considered detrimental to her to walk and run, a very good size. She also had a womanly shape, and curves in all the right places too. What Kazuya noticed on one of her fingers, was a bright blue diamond ring on her finger, and it shone beautifully in the nights sky.
Kazuya's eyes focused in on her, and she did the same.
"Kazu…"
Her voice carried on the wind as she was becoming overwhelmed with tears.
Kazuya didn't know why, but tears sprang out of his eyes.
It was the exact same feeling he had in the forest those months ago, the feeling that he couldn't escape.
The feeling of love entered his heart, and he couldn't stop it…no, he didn't want to stop it either. He didn't want to stop the feelings that he was going through right now. He, loved the feeling that had entered his heart right now.
"Zeref…t-that's your name, isn't it…?"
Zeref walked forward, as did Kazuya.
Both felt like running to the other, but both were cautious about something…
They both felt like something they couldn't do was run to the other, yet that's all they wanted in the end.
When making it to one another, they stood face to face…well, breast to face. Kazuya's head came to just her bust, and he had to look up at her, and she looked down at him. Kazuya's eyes continued to leak tears, as did Zeref's own eyes.
"I thought I had lost you. I thought that…all that time, I thought that hope had gone…but here you are…my cute sweet Kazu…right before me again…"
Zeref's voice carried to Kazuya's ears, who looked at her like he was awestruck.
"Zeref-san…I erm…I…"
Zeref bent down, so she was Kazuya's height now. She placed a soothing finger on his skin…and something magical happened.
The confusion, the unsureness that she always had, faded away, and all that was left, was herself. For the first time in a long time…she felt like she could think again, like she could feel again, and all of the feelings she had, were unleashed onto Kazuya, wrapping her arms around his neck, and pulled him closer.
"…"
He gasped at first, as Zeref buried her head into the crook of his neck, snuggling against him.
He could feel the tears that were falling onto his shirt, and felt her tight she was holding him, like she couldn't ever let go. She, refused to let go, not that Kazuya had any problems with that at all, he actually enjoyed the feeling of Zeref's body hugging his own.
"Please don't cry…b-because if you do, I'll cry too…"
"I'm sorry Kazu…I'm so sorry…I couldn't control myself…it's you, my sweet Kazu after all this time…I get to see my sweet Kazu again…I haven't been so happy in a long time…I couldn't contain my happiness anymore, and ended up crying…please forgive me for being like this…"
Zeref didn't let go, nor did she stop the tears.
In ways, it made Kazuya shed some tears too, but he didn't know why.
This was just a girl, granted one that had saved him, but still…it was a weird thing to him.
But he wanted to comfort her, that fact never left his mind. He, kept a small hand on the back of her head, running his fingers through her hair. Zeref herself didn't care about anything else right now. All that mattered was being with Kazuya, even if she uncontrollably sobbed her poor heart about, this was a true reason to cry.
"Zeref…san…I erm…"
Zeref lifted her head from Kazuya's neck, and then placed her hand on his face. Soothing and calming, is what Kazuya felt when she touched him, reminding him of the dream that he had a little while ago.
"My sweet Kazu, after so long…I've found you again…don't worry, I won't let you go ever again…we'll always be together now…I'm sorry…for everything…I'm sorry for not coming quicker…I'm sorry…"
"Please don't apologize…I'm okay now, you know? You don't have to be sorry, there's nothing to be sorry about."
Zeref shook her head, and continued to cry as she looked at Kazuya's face.
"So much pain behind your eyes, you've been through a lot…haven't you?" Kazuya looked towards the ground, Zeref nuzzling her face with his own. "It's okay, I'm here now. Nothing will ever harm you again, I won't allow anything to hurt you now…"
Kazuya leaned forward, and hugged her around her neck, and then kissed her on the cheek, something that he felt like he had to do, something that he couldn't fight against, not that he wanted too, and neither did Zeref, the feeling on his lips something that she had to enjoy too.
Zeref then placed a hand on Kazuya's face again, giving it a light stroke.
"Only on the cheek? I thought that you might've kissed my lips. I wouldn't mind if you had done that actually."
Kazuya's face went through several shades of red, and didn't know how he was supposed to respond, embarrassment coming over him.
"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that! I-It was just something that I couldn't help! I couldn't help the feelings that I did something like that! It was like an impulse, please forgive me for giving your cheek a kiss! I didn't mean to do that!"
Kazuya felt embarrassed about kissing her cheek, and blushed brightly as Zeref merely tilted her head.
"It's fine, I enjoyed it. It was a sweet kiss from a very sweet boy. Why wouldn't I want something like that? Gaining a kiss from the cutest boy, I couldn't ask for anything more. Just being embraced from my sweet Kazu is more than enough for me."
Those words only embarrassed him even more, holding his head down in said embarrassment, unsure of how he should proceed with everything that was going on right now, he felt embarrassed about everything.
"I-I'm sorry…it's just really embarrassing that I did that a-and if I offended you then I am sorry, please forgive me…"
"You, didn't offend me Kazu." Zeref leaned closer, and kissed him on the cheek too, causing his face to turn red. "See? It's alright. There's nothing to forgive at all, you just did something cute, and we both enjoyed it, right?"
Asking him directly, Kazuya couldn't help the feelings he felt right now…
He didn't think that he would ever feel something like that, he wasn't sure he was capable. The only times he felt like this was when he was with Aries, or Mavis. Yet, this seemed different to them too…like his heart was finally back with someone else's that he hadn't seen in so long.
"Y-Yes, I enjoyed it…"
"Good boy…now, is there anything you want? Allow me to take care of any needs that you have. Would you like some new clothes? Would you like to have…anything Kazu? Don't worry about the cost, or anything. Just tell me, is there anything that you want?"
Kazuya felt slightly overwhelmed, since he couldn't recall a time where someone actually said something like that to him.
"I don't really want anything…b-but, can I ask you something?"
Zeref raised a finger to his face, and pushed a bang of his hair behind his right ear, showing his face more to her.
"Of course sweetheart. You can ask me anything that you want to."
Zeref looked as Kazuya turned towards her again, and with a shy expression, Kazuya expressed a thought that was deep within his mind.
"Why do I love you so much?"
At the question…it left Zeref devastated.
"Kazu…what are you talking about? You…are you having a joke with me or something Kazu?"
Zeref couldn't believe her ears.
Hearing what she did, Kazuya saying what he did, almost made everything seem weird, wrong. Kazuya saying why, it just made her not consider even August's appearance being there anymore, her eyes only on the boy before her.
Kazuya himself just looked confused, and hurt that she looked hurt too, wishing that he was having a joke with her, not liking the sadness that had filled her beautiful features.
"I'm…sorry if it sounds weird…but, I don't know why you and I…why we…why I love you…I mean…I feel it deep within my heart…I just feel it, but I don't understand something, and that's the idea of me and you being…"
"What? Lovers?"
Kazuya nodded at Zeref's doubt, showing a sad face.
"My heart tells me that I…that I have something special for you…but, for whatever reason, I just don't know why…it feels powerful, and I wish to explore it even more…but, it's weird, because I look at your face, and know that you're important to me…but, I can't seem to know why that thing was either…"
Zeref's face continued to fall, even to the point that sadness couldn't truly describe the sensational look on her face.
"My sweet Kazu…I'm sorry, this is all…I wish I had found you sooner than this…"
Kazuya placed a hand on her face, gently caressing the skin that she had.
"I'm sorry…I'm disappointing you, aren't I? I'm not…like you thought I was…right? You…think I'm a huge disappointment, don't you?"
"N-No, don't ever think that." Zeref's comforting arms went around Kazuya's waste, holding him tightly. "Don't say such things, you could never disappoint me sweetheart. I'm just…trying to understand about how this could happen…Kazu, how did you know my name?"
It was something she guessed, but she needed confirmation on how he knew such things.
"My name…my name…sorry, your name is…Mavis-san told me…she told me that your name was Zeref-san, and that…you're important to me…she hasn't told me much about you, but I wished to meet you because…I feel it deep within my soul, the feeling of you, and myself being together…during that time at the forest, it was killed by your power, wasn't it?"
Zeref's melancholic look made Kazuya's face twisted down in sorrow.
"Yes…I got…it's something that I have to deal with…but with you, that's different. I don't have to deal with it when you're around sweetheart. Because, you're very special, and have a very special sleeping power within you."
"I, didn't know that…but, Zeref-san…please don't seem so sad…it just seems like you're upset all of a sudden…I'm sorry that you're upset right now…I wish that I could do something to make you feel better than you do now…can I do anything for you?"
"You don't have to do anything for me sweetheart…well, actually. I'd like to talk with you more, would you accompany me to bed?"
Kazuya's face flashes several shades, August taking the opportunity to leave the area, and leave the pair of distant lovers to the whims of the night, and allow them to call forward to anything that they wished to call too.
"T-That's so sudden! G-Going to bed together!?"
"Sorry, it has been a while since I've asked something like that. I was quite direct, but that's how I feel. So, would you come to bed with me Kazu? Don't worry, I won't do anything that you're uncomfortable with…I just wish to get into the same bed as you. I have this special area just for the two of us, how about that?"
"Erm…y-yes, I wish to go to bed with you Zeref-san. B-But being ecchi is...w-we can't suddenly do that..."
"I understand, don't worry. I won't be naughty with you. I, just want to be with you again."
"That's good...then, we should go, right Zeref-san?"
Hearing that, Kazuya watched as Zeref's face turned upwards, standing tall, and offering her hand.
Kazuya instantly grabbed her hand, and walked away with her.
He didn't feel danger, he felt safe. This was…probably the safest he had ever been before. He couldn't recall a time where he wasn't as safe as this, and he was going to enjoy every moment of it with the raven haired woman.
End chapter!
So, a few things happened this chapter! From the dream, to meeting Zeref in real life! Even an appearance from August too, and seemingly calling Kazuya 'sire' and such, poor Kazu doesn't know what's going on. But, he kissed Mavis, and Juvia assumed, somehow, that he was getting married. He even taught magic to the group, with Mavis' assistance of course. And even was impressed with Mira's power! Next chapter ends this little mini arc, with some new reveals, and such, and I believe quite an emotional moment going down too. Well, until next time!
Harem; Zeref (fem), Mavis, Aries, Mirajane, Ultear, Virgo, Lucy, Levy, Wendy (older), Juvia, Erza, Jellal (fem).
