AN: Konnichiwa minna! Here's chapter 10. I'll be updating tomorrow, same time as long as you guys review. No reviews equal No new chapter. Why I am suddenly demanding reviews? Well, this is because I'm still writing chapter 17 and if I continue posting the chapters too frequently, then I'll be pressured and would take longer to finish a chapter. Also I'm a bit busy at school with requirements and I need time to read too. Anyways, this chapter's a bit suckish. Just bear with me please. The not-useless chapters begin at Chapter 12. BTW, I don't own Fairy Tail :)

Chapter 10: The Mansion

Laxus' POV

I think my jaw just dropped. In front of us is a much much cleaner and fixed version of the mansion. The old dull and pale yellow walls are now a bright red color. All the pillars are gold and glossed. Each window have been polished and it's frame are a pristine white. The main door have been varnished into a beautiful chestnut color. The golden angel structure have been replaced by a majestic dragon. The cobblestone road have been swept clean. The shrubs are trimmed and some poles with tapestries with our soon-to-be guild's insignia lined the road. The roof was looking dust-free and the chimney had been painted a beige color. All-in-all, the house looked brand new as if it wasn't abandoned for years. Heck, even the other, smaller building have been fixed and sculpted to perfection. We expected them to just make plans but they redecorated the entire place, probably because they're afraid of Lucy's wrath. If the outside is perfect what else could the inside look like.

"Woah." Was all Lucy can say. "C'mon, nii-chan. I want to see the inside." She ran and pushed the doors open, which hit Rogue's face. It's not Lucy's fault if Rogue has been standing there. "Sorry Rogue."

While Lucy performed emergency healing on Rogue's bleeding face, I took the time to look around the room. Two, grand staircase with gold rails are placed on either side of the room, both curved. In the center is an arch which seems to lead into a hallway extending towards the back door. The floor and the steps of the stairs are a white marble. A pale orange is painted to the walls along with some gold, detailed borders. On both sides of the room are two more arches, the left one leading to what seems like a lacrima vision room judging by a big plasma L.V, the set of white sofas with assorted pillows, the bean bags, and small shelves filled with DVDs. The walls of that room are painted red with black lining at top and bottom. The white marble of this room also extend to serve as the floor of the other to rooms. On the right one, the room had beige walls with orange swirls. It also have some pool tables, a drink bar, a stereo, an open space for dancing, some chairs and tables and a set of couches in a corner.

"All done. Why are you even there in the first place? Where's the exceeds? Rufus and Sting? How did you do all this in just three and a half hours? Is that chocolate? Can I have some?" Lucy pointed towards the bar that the brunet is holding.

"Thanks. Rufus made me wait for you guys and give you a tour. Exceeds are playing at the main guild hall. Rufus is resting in his room and made Sting buy the groceries. Rufus made a lot of clones and used his memory-make to make the furnitures, walls, and a lot more. Abby placed a lot of paintings around the house. The other exceeds helped in moving things to and from the attic. I handled the plumbing and Sting served as a power source for Rufus in an element-eating-thing way. Yup! This is chocolate. No, I won't share my chocolate bar." Well, that's awesome. "On with the tour. The sooner we finish, the sooner I get more chocolate bars." Rogue may be emotionless most of the time, but he undergoes a major personality change when he sees, hears, eat, smell, or do anything related to chocolate. He's kinda like Erza with her cake and him with his chocolate bar, but his sudden change is much, much, much drastic.

First we went to the right room. "This is the main guild hall. Then that..." He pointed to another open room. The room was bland and empty. "is the fighting room. Rufus said that in case more members join us, and some of them happens to be naturally destructive they could fight in there so this room wouldn't be much damage. Then that is the exceed's play area." He pointed to a corner beside the fighting room. The area is pink, then there's a indoor playground, box of toys, and shelves filled with canned fish. I could see Abby and Fro playing with dolls, Lector arguing with Fred(Again.), and my exceed, Anabeth, who decided to be girly today by wearing a floral white dress with pink ribbons, sitting on a swing while reading a book which I think is 'Diaries of a Wimpy Kid'. "Then that's the infirmary." Rogue pointed to another room which is seen from the guild hall because of it's open arch. You could see white beds and shelves of medicine in the room and it looked quite spacious even though the room was small.

Then we went back to the entrance and went to the other side. "This is theater room. Then this is the dining room." He said as we passed through another arch. The room's walls are light blue with yellow swirls. In the center of the room is large, long table surrounded by chairs with the same motif as the room, which is gold, blue, and white. A large painting of dragons occupied the wall in front us, probably by Abby, and a matching chandelier hung at the ceiling.

We passed through a grand door which led to spacious hall way. "Those two doors leads to spare bedrooms." He said pointing to the doors on our right. Then he pointed to another door on the left. "That's the bathroom." Then we walked to the other side of the hallway, where another set of double doors is found. "This is the kitchen." All the rooms have been eye-catching, but this room is friggin' awesome. (And pretty modern too, compared to the kinda vintage Victorian look of the dining room and halls.) The walls of the room are painted a maroon color, and the floors are tiled with blocks of black marble. The counters and drawers are a shade lighter than Lucy's eyes and the tops are a dark green marble. Two, large, double-door, stainless steel refrigerators stood on either side of the matching stove, which is directly in front of a window. In the center is an island matching the counters, and directly above it are sets of pots, and pans, hanging from a grill-like structure. In one side of the room, are sets of aquariums filled with lobsters, crabs, and different kinds of edible sea food, there's even dragon fish, a type of fish found only in the dragon realm (and now, our kitchen) known for its heavenly taste.

Then we went upstairs using the grand staircase found in the entrance. "That is your room Lucy-chan, that is the library and archive, and that's your room Laxus." Rogue said as he pointed to the door on the left, on middle, then the right. "Those two doors leads to more spare bedrooms. Same goes for those two." He said as he pointed to the doors nearest to the foot of another set of stairs, which is now plain, which is across the grand ones. Wow, so many 'which is' there, huh? Anyways, Rogue, then, pointed to two more doors in between the two plain stairs. "Those doors lead to the male, and female, bathroom and sauna."

Then went up to the third floor, which is finally the last floor. "That is Sting's room, Exceed's room, and Rufus's room." He pointed to three doors on the right. Then we went to the room across Sting's. "This is the game room and that's another bathroom." Rogue said pointing to another door. The game room had a flat screen L.V smaller than the ones downstairs. The walls are rainbow in color and the floor is white carpet. Around the rooms were computers, and other stuff found in an arcade. Then we walked out of that room and entered a smaller room. This room have teal walls, and a light, wooden floor. "This is the snack room." The room also had black and white counters topped with two popcorn makers, and two microwave ovens, jars of food, and a lot more. It also have a small white couch and a mini fridge. We went back to the hall and Rogue pointed to another hall. "That leads to building B which are only empty bedrooms. Somewhere there is my room."

Then we heard a door open. "Good morning minna!" Rufus greeted sleepily as he stepped out of his room. Lucy, then stepped forward and slapped him.

"Rufus, it's frigging 5 in the afternoon!" Rufus blinked a few times before finally registering what his older sister said.

"Thanks, I needed that. Rogue catch!" He then threw a bundle of chocolate bars towards Rogue.

"Finally! Thanks! I can now eat in peace." He said as he began to eat his dearly beloved chocolate bar. "Hey! The groceries are down stairs." Sting said as he climbed the stairs. Suddenly we heard a faint cry of help coming from the forest and we all immediately went down to find the source.

"Aww, c'mon! Can't I eat my chocolate bar in peace?!" Rogue complained but he still went down. And soon we found the source...
