Three Eyed Fairy
Chapter 11
Compromising positions
The damage from Yusuke's attack was significant, in total, it took three days of never ending work to clean up for the cleanup wizards from the royal palace. It only took one day to find a body however, a still breathing and alive body, but just barely was he alive and in the worst shape anyone had ever seen him in. The first tally of injuries that the doctors could tell on first look was 267 separate counts of injuries, his bones seemed to be broken in a few areas, and impalement from debris that went flying in others.
Fairy Tail was surprised he even survived what they saw happen, they saw Hiei running to get away from the blast, then they saw a chunk of a tower crumble from the power almost to it. The next thing they saw was that same chunk of tower fall and land on Hiei, not only that, but it was right on the edge of the blast radius so it got caught up in the blast. One thing you can never saw about a Fairy Tail wizard though, they don't know how to die easily, and they knew Hiei would put up one hell of a fight against death.
The only one not surprised that he lived was Wendy, who was the one that found him, she stayed there searching the rubble of everything as soon as the blast was clear and confirmed to have destroyed the gate. Most of Fairy Tail tried to stop her as she worked tirelessly on moving rubble that was to big for her to move, even going to far as to tear away the rubble with high pressure winds. Not even Carla could talk some sense into her, the conversation they had left Carla even more worried and depressed then when she went to go talk to Wendy.
Nobody knows what was said, but the only ones that understood her reasoning were the dragon slayers that didn't do a thing to stop her, they were yelled at for not doing anything, but Wendy had to do this. In fact, the dragon slayers, even Sting and Rogue, were being yelled at for refusing to go in and get Wendy to stop searching when they heard a scream of horror. They ran to the scream and saw a crying Wendy trying desperately to heal the badly injured body of Hiei.
They all moved in to stop her and not waste her magic to save a dead man, but the dragon slayers, even Laxus, stood in their way to stop them, not even Erza could scare Natsu into moving. That was the moment they all knew how serious this was, this was a matter to a dragon slayer they weren't meant to understand, just watch, and it killed them. They had to watch as Wendy was wasting her magic to heal Hiei's body when they knew he wouldn't be coming back to her or them.
They all knew that they had a relationship of some kind, the dragon slayers knew they were destined for each other, but everyone else knew they had feelings for each other. To be so young and in love was a truly remarkable thing, one of the best feelings there are for a lot of people, but when it's ripped away so suddenly, it's the worst feeling there is. Fairy Tail knew that Wendy may never recover if she loved Hiei in that way, and they knew for sure she may never love anyone else in that way again. It would be a long and difficult road for her, but she would eventually recover.
What the dragon slayers knew however, was that Hiei was alive, his heart was beating slowly and he would be out of commission for a while, but he was alive. Wendy knew this, but when your love is badly hurt, all you can do is cry when you see it and all the blood he had on him. Eventually the guild found out that Hiei was alive but in a critically bad shape, and he was taken to the capital's best hospital for treatment. The royal family paid for all the hospital expenses and treatments, which included dozens of surgeries, each after the other in succession. Most had to have a specialist for the surgery, others could have the standard surgeon, but they all had the same person there, Wendy by the window looking in on the surgeries.
It lasted for a few days, but they eventually got him stable enough to be moved when his guild went back home to Magnolia. Yukina thought that it would be best if she took Yusuke, Kurama, and Botan back to their own realm, Yusuke would feel guilty for a while about what he did. When Wendy found out that it was him, she almost went berserk the next time she saw him, only Laxus knocking her out prevented a fight. To prevent another possible fight, or worse an actual fight, Yukina thought it would be a good idea to send the three back home. Botan was sad that she didn't spend more time with Jura, but knew it was for the best since their presence here could set off another fight.
While in the hospital, Wendy would visit her secret, even though most already knew by now, boyfriend every day, the only time she wasn't was when she had to go on a job for her rent. That is where she was every time she wasn't at the guild, at the hospital with Hiei talking about what has happened until that point. This continued for five months while Hiei was in a coma, the doctors didn't know when he would wake up, but Wendy was hopeful it would be soon. Once a month she would tell of everything he missed out on until that point, from finding his injured form to the moment she speaks to him of what he missed in case he woke up and didn't say anything.
Hiei woke up on the five-month, seven-day, five-hour, seven-minute mark and was sore all over, his body was all healed from whatever hit him, but other than knowing he was in a white room, he couldn't tell anything. He decided to find out if he could not move any of his limbs, he tried his fingers, hands, toes, feet, arms, legs, head, jaw, spine, eyes, nose, and mouth. Everything he could think of was working fine, his magic container was where he left it, had his demon energy, his memories of Wendy, and so his final conclusion was that he was now fine.
He heard footsteps and decided to keep still as if he was still in his coma, he needed information and this was the most efficient way to get it. "I hope you're doing fine today Hiei, because I haven't been good at all," the voice of Wendy came through his ears as she entered the room. The footsteps did echo throughout the room, which made it difficult for him to pinpoint where they were, but eventually he found them at his bedside. "So, it's time for the monthly update in case you're awake and just listening in because you think you should get more information before you awake. First is that I was the one that found you under a piece of tower that fell on you, had to tear it apart with hurricane force winds, but I eventually got it."
'So, I was knocked out with a whole tower falling on me, at least I didn't trip over a rock,' Hiei thought to himself as he noted to teas Wendy for what would have happened to her.
"I got mad when I found out that Yusuke was the one that pulled the trigger that nearly got you killed, so I attacked him with a hurricane claw but got knocked out by Laxus before it connected. When I awoke the rest of the guild told me that Yukina sent the other three home, probably to avoid me attacking them again. It was quiet here for about a few months until an event with Lucy's celestial spirits caused some big trouble, and believe it or not I had to go up against an Aquarius about our age. We 'played', and I use that term loosely because her play was more like a fight, and became double scoop friends. When I confronted her about it later to see if she remembered, she oddly enough was the only one that did and threatened me not to tell anyone or we'll never go for ice-cream again. So, I'm guessing she wants to go for ice-cream later," Wendy informed the pretending Hiei.
'That's one way to look at it, but seriously, you're telling me you became friends with that water based psycho,' Hiei thought to himself.
"I know, it's weird but not the weirdest thing that happened, because get this, we went to a frozen sun village after that and ran into Minerva who joined a dark guild under Tartaros in the balam alliance. Me, Lucy, and that girl Flare from Raven Tail, whose village we were at, took on a treasure hunter guild group and won. We unfroze the village and found a flame dragon was at its center and used as an eternal flame, the dragon's name was Atlas flame. After that we returned to the guild and not long after we got word that the magic council got attacked and every council member was dead. We spread out to search for the remaining council members because we got word that they were also being targeted for some unknown reason. Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Carla, and me went to the home of one former council member and encountered the one that attacked the council, Natsu won the fight against him and revealed that the members of Tartaros use curses instead of magic. That reason they have been attacking the council turned out to be a magical bomb called Face that nullifies all magic on the continent, this means that Tartaros won't be affected since they use curses." Wendy explained some more about what has been going on in the five months since Hiei's been out of commission.
'I wonder how Yukina is doing and if she's come back from the other world yet or not,' Hiei thought to himself again.
As if sensing he would ask that by now, Wendy spoke, "Yukina came back two days after she took the other three back to their world, and she said she would go visit them once in a while. She visits you as well in case you're wondering, I just visit you more while she still has to go on jobs and train in ice magic. She did take a trip with your mom though, said they were going out for a bit and didn't say much else after that, but when she came back she was in a very good mood. The first seemed to simply be over the moon when she came back, and I think I saw a blush on her cheeks, must be my imagination though."
'No, you're right on the money, mom and Yukina found father and talked with him more than likely, then Yukina left and freed mother and father to have private time, and I don't even want to know what went on from there,' he thought.
"I would be out helping them search, but they said they could handle it so I came here as I always do, I'm sure if they find anything else they would let me know. I have a feeling that they'll be a lot of stuff to do tomorrow though, so let's make the most of today," from then on Wendy talked about the small things that had been going on in the guild. A few guild-wide brawls in the new repurchased guild house, a lot of fights between Natsu and Gray that Erza would break up without letting them fight it out for once. Yukina and Romeo had been growing closer as of late though, and that was a little concerning for Hiei if she didn't tell father when they met up.
Before either of them knew it, well Wendy mostly since Hiei had his eyes closed the entire time, it was dark and visiting hours had long since ended, but nobody came to check if there were any visitors in his room. 'I wonder why, there aren't any visitors supposed to be here and yet Wendy is staying here without anyone coming in to tell her not to,' Hiei thought.
"Look at how fast time flies when you're talking to yourself hoping the one you love can hear you, but I guess you're still in your coma huh. That's fine, but it's too dark outside to leave and go back home safely, so I'll just sleep here next to you by laying my head on the bed." Wendy said this while she laid her head down and almost immediately felt sleepy from the comfortable hospital bed.
'Well, I think it'll be alright for her to stay here, it's not like anything bad will happen from it,' he thought as Wendy grabbed his hand and began to hold it while sleeping. That's how they slept all night long, Wendy holding Hiei's hand while laying her head on the bed as Hiei himself slept peacefully.
The next morning
The usual team Natsu were going to the hospital to tell Wendy that she needed to come back to the guild and be on standby in case she was needed for anything. Erza had to meat Mira to go to a former councilman's house and Gray had to do the same with Juvia, but they wanted to get Wendy together and visit Hiei while they were at it.
When they got to the room they opened the door to find quite the shocking site, laying peacefully on the bed was both Hiei and Wendy with Wendy snuggling up close to a peaceful looking Hiei. That wasn't what was shocking though, it was the fact that Hiei was supposed to be in a coma, not having his arms wrapped around Wendy all snug like they were now. Nor were they supposed to be as far down on Wendy as they currently were, and boy were they low, almost touching her rear. Wendy though, she had her left hand on the demon's chest while her right was mere centimeters away from the top of the demon's covers, and it looked like they might go in any moment.
Erza was angered by where Hiei's hands were, Gray was covering his eyes at the sight of where Wendy's hands were, Lucy was blushing from the positions, and Natsu was confused at why everyone was acting weird. Do to Erza's anger she yelled out, "get off of each other this instant," and before they knew it, they were awake.
Wendy and Hiei's eyes both shot open as they jumped up while in each other's arms, but due to the force of the scare they wound up jumping form the bed. Due to the force of gravity however, they were about to head for the bedside table, and from the trajectory, Wendy was about to hit her head and knock herself out. Hiei decided to act and pull her out of the way of the table and allowed himself to get hit in the head instead. This caused some trouble as he was instantly put back into a comatose state from the force of the impact.
"Are you kidding me, I just got him back and you come in and scare us to the point he hits his head and again I lost him and have to wait. Do you have any idea how long I've waited for him to wake up, and the moment he does, you knock him out again," Wendy screamed.
"Wendy, now calm down we didn't mean to do anything, but you shouldn't have been in the same bed as him, you're too young," Erza said sternly.
"We weren't doing anything but sleeping, and don't call me too young for anything, if I can go out on jobs alone than I can do anything else others do as well. Now what did you come here for anyways," she retorted and was clearly unfazed by Erza's sternest look.
"We came here to you to come to the guild so you can be on standby in case we find more former councilman and needed the backup," Gray stated.
"Alright, I'll be there, just let me run and tell the doctor about Hiei's condition," Wendy stated before picking up the comatose demon and putting him on the bed and running to tell a doctor.
"Hiei is going to have a lot to answer for when he wakes up," Erza said darkly to herself as she left to go meet with Mira.
"I think she forgot that Hiei is stronger than her," Lucy whispered to Gray so that Erza couldn't hear.
He nodded and replied, "she gets like this with the younger members, but if she thinks you are too young, you can't do anything without permission or until you're older."
"It sucks, and what's worse is that even if you are stronger than her, she doesn't care, she'll beat you up for doing anything you're too young to do," Natsu whispered to them as well.
"What are you three waiting for, let's get moving," Erza yelled back at them as she was walking down the halls of the hospital. The team left the hospital and waited at the guild until Wendy arrived and had to wait some more until the events of Tartaros started.
That night, before the dragons destroyed Face
Hiei jolted awake when he felt an immense drain on his magic reserves compared to his demon energy. This was not a good thing, but at least his demon energy would keep him strong as he found out what the hell was going on. He got out of the hospital bed and left to his house in a flash of speed and quickly dressed himself in his standard cloths before scanning the area with his jagan eye and finding the rest of Fairy Tail. They were in a war with Tartaros and by the looks of it, they had just won, if it wasn't for the Faces activating, they would be celebrating. All of their magic was fading and it was fading fast, if he didn't do something fast then magic would be gone from the continent.
Then all at once, the feeling of his magic returning was pounding in him, the drain died out and his magic was restoring, with a quick look, he found dragons. In total, six separate dragons were destroying all the Faces all across the continent, this was a sight to behold with his jagan. The sight with his eyes was great and all, but seeing all the separate magics of the dragons were beyond words. There was only one thing he could think to do, make it to where he saw Natsu and Gray, and in Gray's hand, his uncle's book.
He decided to play an angle he didn't like to play when he decided to speak up, "Gray, if you're thinking about destroying that book, it takes more than one devil slayer to do it."
Gray turned to see Hiei strolling up to them with his hands in his pockets and a stoic look on his face. "Nice timing, didn't know that so how about you help a fellow devil slayer out so we can destroy it."
"Fine, but let me see it first, I have to confirm a suspicion that I've been having," Hiei asked as he held out his hand for the book. Gray nodded and handed the book over to the fire demon and saw the unthinkable, Hiei just tossed the book overhead and it fell into the hands of the black wizard, Zeref.
"What were you thinking, now Zeref has the book of his most powerful demon," Gray yelled as he moved to attack Zeref with an ice devil's long sword.
Only for that to be blocked effortlessly with Hiei's own sword of the darkness flame to instantly melt his ice devil slaying magic. "Calm down you fool, I shall explain if you stop loosing the very little cool you have," Hiei stated calmly.
"Screw that, you just handed the most powerful demon to it's creator," Natsu yelled as he charged up a fire dragon's roar to use against Zeref.
That was also blocked by Hiei when he put up a darkness flame wall in front of the roar, that wall quickly ate away at the normal flames that Natsu created. "Can you not attack my father like that, I might get mad," he said with a smirk that got even wider when he saw their faces. "It's true, I am the son of both Mavis Vermillion and Zeref Dragneel, conceived along with Yukina and when born sent to a new world. Do you really want to fight me and my father, or would you rather I explain things before you decide to hate me."
"You better get to explaining before I knock you out," Gray yelled before everyone began to converge on their spot and heard the yell from Gray.
Hiei looked to Wendy and gave a depressed and sad sigh, "you were all going to find out eventually when you began your hunts and battles with him, so you might as well hear it from the houses mouth first. Yukina and I both are the children of Mavis Vermillion, first guild master of Fairy Tail, and Zeref Dragneel, the darkest mage in the history of the world." The gasps he heard from everyone was evidence enough that he didn't need to look up at Wendy to see her reaction.
He expected the shouts of protest to be heard from everyone, calling it all to be a lie, a sick joke pulled by a demon to lighten the mood with crude humor, but he didn't expect what he got. A blue blur tackled him to the ground and he began to feel sprinkles of water on his face, it was Wendy and she was crying on top of him.
"I thought I was the only one," she muttered as she cried, she buried her head in the crook of his neck as she cried some more.
"I see that you cut your hair, liked it better long," Hiei said in her ear as a way to lighten the mood, it didn't really help the others but she actually chuckled.
"Why did you tell them, now I'm going have to think up a new strategy for telling them," the voice of Mavis rang out as she came out of nowhere with a pout on her face.
"I found it tedious that you wouldn't make up your own mind about telling the guild, and I needed a way to explain handing uncle Natsu's book to father," he said with stoic voice.
"Well, you still didn't have to do it in that way, it would have been more fun if you picked a better mood than after a huge battle," Zeref stated in a scolding manner.
"You scolding me about waiting until a different mood is a lot weirder then finding out from Wendy that when you two met again, you banged a ghost," Hiei replied back with a smirk.
"You know what, I think that you're a little too smart for your own good sometimes," Mavis stated with an atomically red face.
"How else am I supposed to be, I'm your son," he retorted back, this is where most of the guild couldn't take it anymore and to save their sanity, forced their own minds to shut down.
"Hold everything, what did you mean when you said uncle Natsu, I'm pretty sure I don't have no idea what you're talking about," Natsu yelled out in frustration.
"You, Natsu Dragneel, is the younger brother to Zeref Dragneel, and you died four hundred plus years ago, but you were revived as E.N.D by Zeref to kill him. You also had no hand in creating a demons only guild, that was a lie concocted by Mard Gear to control the other etherious, but now that you know that, you are still the same as ever so who cares," Mavis stated. The whole guild sweat-dropped at her bluntness of everything and how the issue was resolved with no fuss when they saw Natsu nod.
"Wait a minute, Wendy, earlier you said you thought you were the only one, what did you mean by that," Hiei asked her quietly in case she didn't want others to know.
"I thought I was the only one with a dark secret, I'm not just the dragon slayer to Grandeeney, I'm also the daughter of Acnologia and Anna Heartfilia from four hundred years ago. I thought I was the only one with a parent that is considered evil, but was in fact misunderstood," Wendy stated as her tears subsided at last.
"How was blowing up Tenrou when he paid the S-class trials a little misunderstanding," Gajeel yelled out before he could stop himself.
"Yeah, you see, he felt like the guild needed to be tested in strength before I could actually stay with you, so he attacked and saw that you were capable," she replied with a nervous laugh.
Soon, both Igneel and Acnologia landed before them with Igneel looking the more beat up of the two, Igneel spoke first, "you are stronger than I remember."
"That's because you've been inside a boy for over fifteen years while I've been out for four hundred years, of course I'd be stronger than when we last fought," Acnologia stated.
"Hi dad, nice to see you are well and out of any real danger, I was worried there for a moment when Igneel showed up," Wendy told her father.
"Did you doubt your old man, I'll never in a million years be beat by this old bag of dragon bones, but more importantly, introduce me to your boyfriend already," the black dragon gave a teasing toothy grin at his daughter's blush.
"Do you have to announce it like that, I wanted at least a few people in the dark for a while longer, but fine, dad, this is my boyfriend, Hiei... Dragneel," Wendy sounded the last part out with a question.
"My full name is Hiei Vermillion Dragneel, I usually use my middle name as last so that nobody ever finds the connection between father and I before I want them to," Hiei stated as he stared at the black dragon while holding onto Wendy.
"Are you going to at least stop groping my daughter in front of me, or are you going to rub it in my face that you two have slept together," Acnologia clearly teased.
Every person that was listening in blushed at the same time and gave Hiei a pointed look still with blushed on their faces as the couple themselves blushed a little. The best reaction though was from Hiei's own parents, Mavis began to cry at how he could have turned out in such a way to take a girl's purity before marriage. Zeref was comforting his wife the best he could while she was in spiritual form and gave his son a sympathetic look before going back to try and comfort Mavis. Erza let her anger take over and jump for an attack on Hiei after that statement was made, before she could though, a hurricane slammed into her gut as she was sent flying away from Hiei.
"For the last time, all we did was sleep and nothing else, and before anyone gets any ideas, nobody attacks him in any way except me," Wendy said sternly before rushing over and smacking lips with Hiei in front of everyone.
