Erza X Porlyusica

Erza stared at her arm, and raised it up and down several times, flexing and stretching for good measure. She smiled; it was working perfectly again. As usual, Porlyusica's healing magic had made the broken bones good as new. The various little bruises and cuts that littered the rest of her body were covered up, as well. Erza moved her gaze to Porlyusica, the much older woman having her back turned to her as she was washing a dirty cloth in the sink. An assortment of medical items sat beside her, many of them used on the redhead earlier. Erza smiled at her.

"Thank you for fixing me up again, ma'am."

"Hmph. You should just be thankful that you got only some scrapes and a few fractures after that stunt you pulled. Taking on an entire guild by yourself...that's the kind of foolishness that will bring you an early death!" Porlyusica sternly replied. Erza, however, was not bothered in the slightest by this. She shook her head.

"They were just a bunch of thugs, looking for valuables to steal and women to play around with. They had it coming; you don't just form a guild for selfish reasons like that!"

"I won't question your reasons...just your decision to do what you did was a risk to your health."

Erza sighed. She checked over her arm again. It didn't seem like she had to stay here any longer. "So, then...I suppose I should head back to Fairy Tail, right?"

"You still have to pay me, you know. I was willing to perform the first few operations for free, but I can't keep wasting valuable supplies without any currency to buy more. I may make most of my medicine through ingredients I collect in the forest, but things like bandages and tape still have to be bought from stores."

"Oh..." Erza lowered her head, "But...I don't have any money. I have to pay my rent for this month soon."

Porlyusica placed the cloth in a small bag, and turned to the warrior mage. "Then...what do you suggest to do? Are you going to have Makarov pay for you again?"

"Hmm...oh, I have an idea!"

"What is it?"

Erza smirked, crossed her legs to show off a little thigh, and gave the elder mage a seductive wink. "As my payment, I can take you out on the best date of your life."

"No." Porlyusica was not amused.

"A kiss on the cheek, maybe?" Erza suggested. She wasn't ready to give up just yet. This usually worked rather well on other girls, so she felt it was worth a shot, even if Porlyusica was far different from the usual women she hit on. Unfortunately, Porlyusica seemed impervious to her overwhelming charm.

"You can't buy anything with kisses, you silly fool."

Sighing, Erza started to unbutton her shirt. "Alright...I think I know what you really want..."

Erza was immediately smacked over the head with a wooden cane. "You're going way too far with this joke of yours." Porlyusica reprimanded her, glaring sternly at the redhead for a few seconds before returning to the sink to throw out whatever was left over.

"Sorry..."

"It's alright."

"But I still don't have enough money to pay you right now. I'm really sorry."

"Then go on some missions, collect your payment, and return here with it as soon as you can."

Erza jumped to her feet. "That's right! I'll go on some S-rank missions; it shouldn't be too difficult to get enough money to pay you back!"

"Yes, but don't take on anything you think might be too dangerous. I'd rather not have to increase your debt even more while you're trying to make up for what you already owe."

"I understand."

Erza gathered her things, her magic armor and sword, and started to head for the door. However, just as she was about to grab the door handle, she suddenly had an idea. She walked up to Porlyusica again, and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek. Porlyusica was actually quite thrown off by this sudden move on Erza's part. When Erza pulled her head away, she had a sheepish grin on her lips.

"I'll give you the kiss on the cheek anyway." she said. And with that, she departed.

Porlyusica shook her head, chuckling to herself. That girl...she really was a handful. Still, Porlyusica couldn't help but feel content to see that that the poor slave girl with the one eye had grown up so happily with Fairy Tail. Of course, that didn't mean she could just go around kissing people like that. She was going to have to give her a piece of her mind when she returned with the money.
