Laxus's and Mako's split
One-shot
12 were old Mako was not known to be the sharpest tool in the shed. Nor the quietest or most understanding, like her brother she was also known as dense and thought fighting was a thrill and loved to do it. But Mako cared about her friends and family in Fairy Tail, even the scary and annoying ones; they were her Nakama after all.
Though Mako cared about them all, she was closer to others in the Guild. Her brother Natsu, Erza, Gray (even if he strips), Lisanna, Cana and Laxus are the ones she's close to.
Laxus was getting weird though, he was looking at the Master (his grandpa) angry and bitter. It was really pissing Mako off. It was getting to a point where he almost seemed to resent the old Master. Mako would get in arguments about it with Laxus, but he would brush her off, not wanting to deal with her. Laxus was 15, a couple years older than her.
Then one day it all snapped, the arguments were not so little anymore.
Mako's POV
Laxus went into the Old Man's office with a scowl. I knew what was wrong with him now; he told me that Gramps kicked out his old man. I denied that and he got mad at me. I frowned. "What do you think is up with Laxus?" Is he gonna stop?
I looked at the juice drinking Cana next to me. She shrugged. "I dunno, he gets angry a lot, you know that."
I sighed and kicked my feet. Erza and Mirajane were fighting again; Gray and Natsu were doing the same while Elfman was in the corner like usual. I would have joined in the fight but the look on Laxus face bothered me. I jumped as I heard Laxus yell. I rubbed my ears, having sharper hearing sucked sometimes. Natsu hopped in the chair next to me. "Mako? Why's Laxus yellin'?"
I shrugged and then Laxus came storming out, face red. I jumped and walked to him. "Hey, Laxus!"
He glared at me and walked off. I huffed, jeez! I ran in front of him to the door. "Hey, come on!"
Laxus growled. "Move, Mako."
Natsu said. "Why are you so mad, anyway?"
Laxus turned around to glare more. "Shut up, idiot!"
Natsu scrunched his nose at him. "Bleh!"
Laxus sneered. "Have any luck looking for that imaginary dragon of yours?"
Natsu face dropped in shock and I glared, feeling the hurt at what he said. Even if he believed that to be true (it's not), he would never say that to me. "Hey! He's not imaginary! You know that!"
The whole Guild then started talking at once and I winced, pressing my hands against my ears.
Laxus yelled. "SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU!"
Laxus turned back to me and snapped. "Move!"
I shook my head and crossed my arms in front of me. "Nuh-uh! I don't know why you're actin' like a bastard, but knock it off." I think it must be something else from what he told me. He was never this mad!
Laxus growled and moved closer. "Mako. Move."
I tensed at his tone and reacted by fire going up and down my arms. He never talked to me like that ever. I clenched my fist tightly, baring my teeth. "No, Laxus! What is wrong with you?!"
He snarled. "I don't want to be anywhere near you or this stupid guild! Now back off, brat!"
I stubbornly set my jaw. "Nope, I won't"
Erza and Mirajane called. "Mako, just move! Deal with this later." They glared at each other.
Erza then said. "Talk to him when he has cooled down!"
Laxus gave me a smirk. We both knew, whatever happened, it went too far, I could tell by the look in his eyes. I shook my head and he scowled again. I saw him about to attack me, so I ran at him with flaming fists. I heard calls but did nothing except try to attack him. I was grabbed by the front of my shirt. I yelped as I was thrown high in the air. "Hey! What!?"
I braced myself for the fall and sort of turned toward Laxus. He smirked with his teeth showing, hair shading his eyes from me. "Nighty-night, Mako."
Before I could hit the ground, I saw him raise his hand. My eyes widened and I saw my Nakama try to reach me. Then light and it was hurt, pain, you name it. I felt my back arch in pain as white hot pain went in me; I heard screaming and realized it was me. I could barely think, but it hurt. !
He betrayed me, hit me with this! .pain!
"LAXUS!" I then passed out.
I woke up in pain everywhere and I was wondering what happened. We don't fight like this at the Guild-
Laxus!
I growled and sat up, groaning at the soreness that hit me. I looked at my arms and grit my teeth. I had large purple and black bruises on my arms. My legs had them too.
"Mako!"
I looked up to see Natsu with a worried look on his face, Gray, Lisanna, Erza and Master was here too. I blinked and looked to see everything white.
Natsu looked to be running at me and I winced, flinching (I will deny this later), but Erza grabbed him by the collar. I sighed in relief and then hissed at the pain it caused me. Lisanna was closer and I smiled at her, she worries too much sometimes. She just stared worriedly.
Laxus really hurt me this time. I growled lowly at that. How could he do that?! I know he was getting upset, but he would never hurt me, not like this!
"Mako, you're shaking." Gray said that.
I glared. "No, I'm not." I clenched my fists, biting my tongue at the pain. "I'll get him!"
I hopped out of bed and crashed to the ground. I groaned in pain and whimpered (I'll deny this for sure). I was grabbed by the shoulders and was face to face with the old man. "Mako, child, relax. Don't bother Laxus."
I looked at him shocked, how can he ask me that!? "But, he's my friend! I can't do that to him."
"He charred you! How does that make you his friend in any way!?"
I glared at Gray. "You know nothin'!"
The old man frowned. "Gray stop, it's better. Please."
I shook my head. "No, sorry Gramps, but I can't do that to my friend! We're Nakama!"
He sighed and said. "Fine, but leave him be for now, okay?"
I nodded and Erza picked me up and put me back in the bed and I feel back asleep with a sigh…
/ / / /
It was like that for a while. My bruises healed after a week and I was as good as new. Laxus either fried me or snapped at me when I tried to talk to me. I didn't care; I won't turn my back on him. Gray, Erza and Mirajane along with others in the Guild told me to stop, I didn't care, I was going to help him.
Natsu told me. "He's being a jerk and a bastard, leave him."
I just scowled and said. "I can't."
I thought I was getting to him because he face would change every time I tried, but then it happened. Lisanna dying on that mission. It's what changed everything.
We were all broken up about it, Natsu wouldn't even go to the funeral Mirajane and Elfman changed a lot. I was upset sitting by the bar and wiping my eyes (not crying, I wasn't!). Laxus came into the Guild and went Gramps office. I heard Laxus's voice raise and I frowned at the door. So, he knows. He walked out in a huff. I jumped with a grin and said. "Hey, Laxus! Your back!"
I walked to him and ignored the muttering of the Guild. They just didn't understand that to me Laxus was still Nakama to me. Even if some of them did understand, they didn't like it. Laxus had a deep scowl on his face and his eyes dark. I knew why, he heard what happened, even if would never showed it, it hurt him, to loose Nakama like that. I followed him as he walked off and we were in front of the Guild, he grunted.
Laxus said. "Mako."
I felt myself brighten from how upset I was earlier. Maybe he is in a better mood and I can talk to him easier. "Hey, do you want-"
"Shut up."
I glared, never mind, he's still a jerk. "Hey, stop that, I just-"
"Stop it." He continued. "Why would I want to be anywhere near someone who let's their friends die."
I froze, staring at him shocked. Surely, he doesn't mean… "W-what?"
He glared at me, eyes hateful. "You heard me."
I blinked, hurt. "B-but, I wouldn't! You c-can't blame-"
His lips curled into a sneer. "Oh? You couldn't stop it anyway?"
By the look on his face, he was mocking me. I got the feeling that I got whenever I felt like crying. My tight throat and blurry eyes. I glared at him, how could he accuse me of that!? He knows how much I care about my Nakama! If I could have done something, I would of.
I snapped. "Why didn't you save her? Huh?!"
Laxus growled. "I was not here!"
I growled back, deeply. "Whose fault is that?!"
He growled again, back at me and moved his face closer to mine. "What's that supposed to me, huh Mako?"
I moved forward so that we were nose to nose. "It means that you ran away, bastard!"
His hands pushed me away and I stumbled back, I was even angrier. I felt it, in my gut, building, felling myself heat up. "You good for nothing, bastard!"
I crouched and dodged the lightning that shot at me (I was used to them by now). I kicked him with a flamed foot in the side. He grunted and I ducked at the bolt of lightning aimed at my chest. I smirked at him, feeling my anger grow, my flames getting higher. Finally, his lightning went out. I let my flames go in confusion. Only to get hit in the eye with his fist. I yelped as I was thrown in the air and on my back, eye throbbing. Pain hit that side of my face and I groaned, jumping away from Laxus kick and was about to slam my feet into his side where I heard a yell.
"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?!"
It was Gramps in his giant form. I yelped as Laxus grabbed my leg and threw me on the ground.
Gramps shrunk down to his normal size and I got up from the ground. moved away from Laxus with a glare and scowl. Gramps crossed his arms over his chest. Laxus snapped. "It's her fault."
Gramps fixed him with a look and I was so angry with everything! I don't know what happened with Gramps in that office, but the way Laxus changed…It pissed me off! And what he said about Lisanna, I know it was no one's fault, he went too far. I thought I could help him, but…
I growled deeply at him, eyes narrowed more. "Fine, I want nothin' to do with ya! You're a bastard and rather watch us die than help us! Whatever happened to you, made you act like a jerk!"
I noticed that Gramps move away from us back into the guild. He wanted us to finish this.
Laxus sneered at me, but instead of upsetting me, it just made me angrier. I yelled at him and he yelled back at me. I had my fist clenched and all I knew was that I was mad, I stomped away from him, but before I did, I said. "That's it Laxus! I'm done trying with ya! You can whine all you want! I don't care!"
He just reddens in anger and gave me another sneer. "It's better that way, you and your brother are complete idiots."
I grit my teeth at him, flames all over me. I saw lightning flicker all over him and I moved a foot back ready to fight him. I ducked at the lightning aimed at my chest and plowed into him with my fire all over me. He grunt and stumbled and I dodged his hand and aimed a flaming fist, which he dodged too and threw me to the ground. I growled in pain and stood up, he flashed in front me of me and I stumbled back.
He slammed lightening coated fists in my chest and stomach. I coughed blood and leaned over his arms, stumbling back and holding my chest, twitching. I glared at him, felt it bubbling, the fire in me and cupped my hands over my mouth, doing a hyped up Fire Dragon Roar. He roared in pain and I dived at him, smashing my fist into him and he finally smashed a heavy lightening foot in my throat and jaw and I felt knocked out.
I woke up in my hammock at home. My jaw and throat were bandaged and hurt, so was chest all the way down to my pants line. Heh, it was almost like a shirt. Gray, Natsu, Happy and Erza was in my house. I lifted my head and said. "Hey guys."
Gray was glaring at me, my angry look in his eyes. "No more of this shit was Laxus, okay."
I scowled at him. "I know that already, shut up."
Gray eyes went wide and Natsu asked. "Huh, really?"
I nodded, sighing. "Yeah…"
Erza nodded, all serious. "Good, now heal up."
They all left except for Natsu. His eyebrows were pulled together. He then messed up my hair and I huffed, he asked. "Mako, you okay."
I just smiled at home. "Yeah."
He nodded and ran out and I heard him fighting with Gray. I sighed, why did Laxus have to say that? I slumped back on the bed ad curled into a ball and went back to sleep, the hammock rocking a bit.
I was like that for two weeks. I was not hungry much, so I only ate what I was forced to. I didn't even munch on fire anymore. I just laid there all day. Natsu was pissed and Gray felt the same. They yelled at me and pushed me, but I ignored them.
One day, they brought out the big weapons, they brought…Erza.
She marched in my house and stood over me. I lazily looked at her. "Erza?"
"This is enough, get outta bed."
"No."
"Now, Mako."
I wrinkled my nose at her and turned away. "Go 'way." I felt her hand at the back of my shirt and a steel kick to the ass. I groaned as I landed on the grass outside. I spat out grass and laid there.
"Mako, up."
I groaned from where I was. "No!"
She punched my head, but other then saying Ow, did nothing. She then sank to my level and put her face so we were nose to nose. "Mako, do you have any idea what you are doing to the Guild. Mira misses you, Master feels guilty and Natsu and Gray miss you too! Happy is sad all the time and I…want you around. Come back."
I sighed and leaned back, she was right. I did miss the Guild. With Gramps and Mira's cooking, mine, Gray and Natsu's fights. I can't let this thing with Laxus hold me back, he'll still be important to me, but my friends need me too. I got up and rubbed the grass off me. I grinned at her. "Come on, Erza! Let's go!"
She smiled at me and said. "Fine, one more thing."
I shrugged and asked. "Sure, what?"
Then I felt a pain on my ear. I howled when Erza twisted it and pulled me on my toes. "You ever do that again, I will kick your ass got that?"
I gulped, but nodded. She smiled again, but this time scary. "Good, now to the Guild."
She pulled me by my ear and it hurt. "Ow,ow,ow,ow! Erza come on! Owwww!"
She was dragging me, twisting when I slowed down. She let go when we walked into the Guild. I rubbed my ear in pain and pouted. I walked in and was tackled into a hug by Natsu. "Hey Sis, your back!"
I hugged him back. "Yeah, sorry about that, bro."
Gray was grinning at me. I grinned back and walked up to Mira. "I'll have a steak with fire and…everything you got!"
She smiled at me happily and I couldn't wait to eat!
I might not be good friends with Laxys now, but he was still Nakama, and I'll be mad, but one day, I'll make him see and then kick his ass for what he done to me! He better watch it!
Well, I'm done with that. I wanted to write about this when I talk about it because it was stuck in my head for and here it is! I hope you like it and helped you learn more about it. I don't know what and when I'll be updating next. School is most likely on Tuesday because of the tropical storm coming. Hopefully I can get something out. The power might go out too.
