Levy: Silver-chan does not own Fairy tail!

(Erza pov)

Luna blinked, not understanding the concept of my request. "Eh?"

"Did you not hear me?" I asked monotone.

Her lips parted as she scrunched up her eyebrows. "Erza, why?"

I exhaled, shaking my head. "You are unhappy as of late. It kills me to see you that way. I believe the best way for you to release your stress is through your magic. I am willing to be your target."

Luna gave a humorless laugh. "No."

"No?"

"No. I don't need this. You don't even support me," she huffed, turning away.

I gaped. "Who said I didn't support you! Of course I do!"

Luna jerked her head back slightly, just enough for our gazes to lock. "Do you believe the newbies should leave?"

I said nothing. I absolutely did not want that, and to know Luna does…

"No," I answered honestly. "I don't."

Luna's scarlet tipped fringe shadowed her face like mine occasionally does. "Then I guess are opinions are not the same. Thanks for this, but I will not hurt you Nee-chan."

I swallowed a lump in my throat. She is hurting. She is hurting. She may not admit it, but she does want to let her anger out, I know it. I intend to have that happen. I knew the only way to make her blow was to get her riled up. Anger is the best solution.

I scoffed obnoxiously. "As if."

Luna stopped walking. "Pardon?" I knew how to piss her off. We are sisters after all.

"You honestly think that you could hurt me?"

My little sister spun around with a gleam in her eye. "What did you say?"

Checkmate.

"Lulu, let's face it. I am Titania, you are…you. Just a little girl with trust issues while I am a stern warrior. You couldn't hurt me if I let you," I sneered.

Luna gasped, hurt flicking through her eyes. I wanted to run over and crush her in a hug, saying it wasn't true and I loved her, but I stood my ground. She bared her teeth. "That's what you think, Erza!"

In a flash of silver, Luna was holding a three foot long bow shaped like a lightning bolt made of a glimmering yellow metal with an arrow in her hand crackling with electricity, the arrowhead also shaped like a lightning bolt. Her Lightning Archer's Bow.

In mere second she fired, the arrow zoomed towards me, but I blocked it just as fast. I requiped into my Lightning Empress armor and deflected the attack. "Is that all you can muster?!" I hollered, shooting a bolt of lightning her way.

Luna flipped out of the way and shot another arrow mid-air. The attack grazed by my ear as I ducked. The bow electrified the ground and would have hurt me if not for my armor. I shoved my staff down, zapping the surrounding area.

Luna jumped just in time, requiping her bow to a new one. This one was her Ice Archer's Bow, a glimmering blue bow covered in ice crystals and displayed two icy snowflakes on the ends. The arrow was teal with a snowflake as the arrowhead. She fired the arrow and it sailed past me, sriking the ground. As soon as the arrowhead hit the grass, the plain froze over in thick ice.

"Weak!" I requiped into my Flame Empress Armor, slicing by blade clean across her chest. It was a very very weak hit, not even drawing blood considering I wasn't trying to hurt her. Of course the fabric did catch fire…. Hey! Can you blame me? Natsu, Gray and I are the most destructive people in the guild.

Luna growled after patting away the flames, back flipping out of reach of my sword and shooting five arrows my way. I elegantly danced my way through the incoming strikes, de-materializing each one as my blade met with them. I sliced forward, sending a wave of fire her way which she cleanly avoided.

"Don't be such a coward! Land a hit on me if you can!" I ordered, dodging more arrows that continued to freeze everything they touched.

"Shut up, Erza!" Luna screamed, her eyes flaming with rage.

I smirked. "Give me your best shot!" Besides the fact she looked ready to murder me, I was enjoying myself.

"Requip: Rose Thorn!" she called, summoning a bow I've never seen before. It was an ivy colored bow with spiked rose vines tangled all over, two blooming red roses grew at both ends. The arrow was a blood-red, fitting both our hair colors (Her tips in Luna's case) with vines also wrapped around it. I marveled at the bow, finding it very interesting considering I had no idea of its powers.

"I see you bought a new bow!"

She didn't respond, only angled her back in position to shoot. Since she said rose in her spell, I decided to keep my fire armor. The arrow whipped past my thigh and I shook my head. She could aim so much better. I was suddenly stopped by something slithering up my leg. I looked down to see a beautifully fresh rose bush where the arrow had landed. Vines were snaking out the bush and tangling around my legs. The spiked tentacles wrapped around up to my hips, pinning my arms down as well. The thorns cut into my skin where it wasn't protected by my armor. I had to question myself for a moment. This 'armor' really didn't cover much of me and didn't really respect its purpose of protecting my body. I looked down where droplets of blood rained down my legs without blinking. I was temporarily trapped, but wouldn't be for long.

I dug my sword that was resting beside my hip into the vines, lighting them ablaze. I dropped from their grasp only to be tangled up again in little time. Luna stalked over. I expected her face to be smug with effectively trapping me, but when I caught sight of her, she was devoid of cockiness. In fact, she looked professional and quite bored. "Hack at them all you want. They will never cease to re-grow unless you destroy the bush. The bush is their source of life and unless the bush is dead, those vines will live on," she explained calmly, like she was a teacher giving a student a lesson.

I surveyed the plants. "Effective tactic, though weak against numerous people."

"I don't really care. It worked against the Great Titania, now didn't it?"

I smirked, ignoring the rhetorical question. "You seem much calmer now. I'm glad."

"What does that have to do with any- I fell for it again didn't I?" she asked, realizing my plan I had done numerous times before. She just realized that I egged her into fighting by feeding her rude thoughts.

"Very much so." I used my weapon telepathy to stab my flaming sword straight into the bush. The vines flashed away along with the bush, freeing me. I requipped into my pajamas with a satisfied mood.

Luna groaned, flashing away her bow and crossing her arms.

"Better?"

She pouted. "I guess."

"Then all is well." As I walked back to my room I put a hand to her shoulder. That solved that.

(Natsu pov)

Meanwhile…

"Listen up! I, Natsu Dragneel, leader of this group of idiots, call this anti-female meeting to order."

The fellow males I gathered in the guild all gave me looks.

"Who made you leader?!" Gray and Gajeel shouted.

"Did you just refer to yourself as an idiot as well since you are the 'leader'?" asked Rouge in his typical emotionless expression.

"Hey!" I interrupted, stomping a foot atop the table. "Enough complaints and questions! We must discuss why we are really here."

"Why are we here?" asked Sting.

I cleared my throat and raised a fist. "The girls are going to the beach tomorrow, without us! It's not fair! So, as revenge, we are going to spy/prank on them to see what they are up to in their villainous ways."

All the guys sweat dropped. "You're joking?"

"Not at all."

Gray shook his head. "Natsu, you are the definition of moron. Do you remember what happened last time Erza caught us staring behind the wall?"

I shivered at the horrendous and embarrassing memory. There are some things a human being shouldn't be put through. "Well, this time will be different. We have more people this time. Myself, Gray, Elfman, Gajeel, Rouge, Sting, and Loke will all be participating."

Gajeel scoffed. "You wish, Salamander. Count me out. When Erza has your corpses hanging outside, don't say I didn't warn you." Gajeel leaned forward, looking ready to leave.

I quickly thought of a way to make Gajeel stay. As much as I hate it, we need him for the plan. "Levy will be there."

The Iron dragon didn't move. He just blinked one long blink before leaning back in his seat. "We're gonna' get caught."

I smirked, realizing I got him. Hehehe. Levy's got him wrapped around her finger.

Sting and Rouge gave each other a look and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?"

Sting flashed a bored expression. "Sorry, but we don't want to participate in anything you fairies are planning. We are simply here because our master made us, nothing else." Rouge nodded in agreement.

"Wow, Sting. I was sure you'd want to see a bunch of breastful girls in close to nothing. Some man you are," I played, knowing his weaknesses very well.

Sting turned with a calculating frown as if thinking it over. Rouge elbowed him with a frown. "Sting," he warned.

Sting smirked. "Oh come on, Rouge. How bad could it be? Besides, there is a certain Dragon Slayer I want to observe." Rouge rolled his eyes.

My giddy mood fell. He was obviously referring to Shell. "Actually, I think we have plenty of people."

Gray's evil face met my unhappy one. "I thought you wanted more people? The more the better, right."

"It isn't a man to exclude others, especially from another guild," Elfman added.

"Yeah, Salamander." Gajeel grinned teasingly. "Gihihi. Is there some reason you don't want them to come? We are all in, why not them?"

Traitors! What the hell?!

I growled at my guild mates, narrowing my eyes. "They can come if they want. I just didn't think they would want to hang out with fairies."

Sting and Rouge exchanged silent words through looking at each other. Rouge sighed. "If Sting goes I'll go," he mumbled, none to ecstatic.

"Oh I'm going! We blondes are persuaded easily. What's the plan, Natsu?"

I frowned, crossing my arms. Of course Sting had to come. He couldn't just jump off a bridge instead. "We are going to spy on them from the north section of the wall that surrounds the beach."

The guys all shrugged. We discussed the plan for a long time, most of us yawning considering I called them here at night. After a while of chatting, Gray cocked his head. "Why isn't Laxus or Freed and Bickslow coming?"

I snorted. "Laxus is all depressed because of Darcy and Freed and Bickslow are keeping him company."

Gajeel shook his head, ashamed. "That guy is whipped."

"*cough* Levy *cough*"

Elfman kept nodding his head, to the plan. Then his eyes grew wide and he froze. "Wait a second. You all can't spy on my sister!"

"Don't worry, Elfman. I don't think anyone here will be looking at Lisanna," I said nonchalantly.

He raised a brow. "What about you? You and her have been friends for years."

"Exactly why I'm not ogling her. We are friends. It would be wrong."

"You're sure?"

I nodded. "Absolutely, I love Lis, but not like that. I mean, she is dating Bickslow and he would kick my ass anyway."

Elfman gaped. "Bickslow?!"

"Yep. They've dated since the games."

Elfman looked mortified that sweet Lisanna was dating doll-freak Bickslow. I couldn't blame him. They are a freaky couple.

"What if she wasn't dating him, would you like her then?" Gray asked.

I responded immediately. "Nope. We are just friends. Besides, I like-" I shut my mouth, earning wide eyes from all the guys in the room.

"Holy hell! Natsu likes someone! Who?" Gray demanded, slamming his hands down on the table.

Shit.

"No one, shut your face," I mumbled, hiding behind my scarf.

Gajeel laughed. "Gihihi. I'll bet it's bunny girl."

I raised a brow. "Bunny girl? You mean Luce? No way, we're best friends."

"Then why do you sneak into her house?" asked Gray.

"It smells good. Plus, my house is too messy. I lost Happy in there once." I blinked. Where is Happy? Oh right. He's hanging out with Skip at Lissa's place.

Gajeel rubbed his metal-studded chin. "So it's not bunny girl? Then who?"

Sting's eyes gleamed. "I bet I know."

I opened my mouth to say go to hell, but the opening of the guild doors stopped me. We all turned to see Kinana standing by the door with a chain of keys. She caught sight of us and blinked. "How did you guys get in here so early? Do you have keys too?"

"No, we don't have keys. And early? It's like ten."

She shook her head. "It's about four in the morning."

Rouge looked down at his watch and nodded. "She's right."

I pointed outside, still confused. "But, we-wasn't it-"

Gajeel rolled his eyes. "Baka. We must've talked all night."

Whoa. That was pretty cool. "Wait! That means today is the beach day! Everyone meet in front of Fairy Hills. Loke will meet us later once Lucy is occupied, some Spirit World problems, whatever. See you then!"

They all nodded and we left the guild. Today was going to be awesome.

(Genesis pov)

I groaned, clutching my side. Ever since I put that spell on Darcy-sama, it has been draining me dry of my magic energy. The spell is intended to torture your targets to death, but I've kept it going for a couple days and it was weakening me.

I took a deep shaky breath. At this rate I would collapse from lack of magic energy. I couldn't remove the spell or else Tenji would be furious and Darcy-sama would surely tell everything. I mainly cared about the first one. Crazy as it is, I don't want to die. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't take it much longer.

I took a seat at one of the guild hall's four long tables. Several mages scooted away from me and I smirked. I pointed at the nearest guy and possessed him to give me his drink. I took a sip and stuck my tongue out. Who drinks milk in a beer mug? I chucked the mug at his head, causing him to topple of his seat.

"Genesis, you better watch it," a busty red head muttered beside me.

I possessed her as well, forcing her to wrap her hands around her throat, choking herself. "What was that? I didn't hear you clearly."

She sputtered out apologize and I back handed her across the table. Stupid bitch.

Bored, I got up only to gasp and sit back down. I needed to stop the spell.

I slowly stumbled out the chair and out the guild. I dashed clumsily around the church, sliding down the wall. I dug my hands into the dirt, willing away the draining. The thought tore me apart and made me dread all that would follow, but hey. Zeref wouldn't want me weak, so I was doing him a favor of not destroying myself.

Hesitantly, I lifted my hand into a clawed shape and willed the wisp I put into Darcy-sama, thus stealing her will, to return. I waited several minutes until the familiar gray ball faded into my clawed hand. I breathed in as the pain ceased. Congratulations, Darcy-sama. You are free. For now.

(Darcy pov)

Pain…it continues. I have nothing else to speak about. No one can hear me. It's all just pain…..it's…..what? T-The pain is...

With the strength of what felt like fifty vulcans, my eyes flew open, foggy and blurred from being forced shut for days. The colors and light replaced the endless darkness my eyes had suffered through for days. Nothing was clear, but it was there. It was there. And the pain was gone.

I blinked, trying to clear the blending of faded colors. It looked like a watercolor picture with streaks of pastels.

My lips parted and blood dripped onto my tongue. I ran my tongue over my lips with the quickness of a slug, they felt bumpy and bloody, chapped all over. My body throbbed and heated up. I felt like everything was asleep except my consciousness. I was numb all over. The remains of that constant pain tattooed my small body. My throat was dry and sore from so much screaming. I just barely felt my orange spikes drenched in sweat. I felt hollow, yet over-full. I felt like a broken shell. A doll. A puppet. I was a marionette that was toyed with by a thief who stole my spirit, an assassin who made me his target, a psychopath was robbed me of my sanity, a mage who spelled me.

I let out a painful croak, followed by a raspy cough.

A pink and red blur melded into the mix of colors that was my sight. My ears popped and I could catch dull mumbles of, "Are you alright? Hang tight."

I couldn't nod or speak so I remained silent.

After minutes of dull roars, my hearing finally adjusted so I could hear perfectly. I heard the clinking of bottles and jars followed by pounding footsteps. A huge slam shook the room. I flinched.

"Tangerine!"

"Darcy!"

"Brat!"

I logged my head to the side of the fluffy pillow. Three blurs were racing towards my bed. One was really small, one was a shining white, and the last one was a freaking huge one. I had the deepest urge to paint them.

I peeped, blinking slowly. The blurs were soon by my bed and talking to me.

"Brat, are you alright?"

"Oh, Darcy."

"Tangerine…"

I recognized the voices as Master Makarov, Mirajane, and Laxus. I opened my mouth, not giving out any words. The muscles in my cheeks were working back up so I could move my mouth around.

The short blur, I now know as Master, started speaking to the blur from earlier I assumed to be Porlyusica. "What happened? Why did she wake?"

"No idea. My guess is that Genesis could handle the magical draining of energy that is caused from the spell."

The only place with feeling on my body was my face, so I twitched when a soft hand rested against my forehead, smoothing back my hair. It had to be Mirajane's.

"Darcy…I…..it's me."

"Don't you see her eyes? They are completely clouded. She can't see!" barked Porlyusica.

Mira's hand jerked on my forehead from Porlyusica's harsh voice.

Trying to find some way to show them I could understand them, I leaned into Mira's hand, causing her to gasp. I mouthed 'Mira.'

"She knows it's me!" Mirajane cheered.

Porlyusica hummed, clicking over. "It seems so. Can you speak?" she asked me.

I mouthed 'no.'

Mira sighed. "This is horrible."

"There is nothing we can do. Her body was put through aggressive torture, it will take a while for her senses to return."

The blurs crowded around, whispering among themselves. I sunk into the bed, letting myself get the deserved rest I was deprived of for days and days. I mean, how can you sleep when in unbearable pain?

(Laxus pov)

My eyes kept flicking over to Tangerine while the old hag spoke with us. She was awake. That's all that mattered.

Porlyusica finished speaking with us and I asked to be alone for a moment.

Gramps gave me a look like 'Don't rape her!' and Mira placed a kind hand on my arm before leaving with Gramps. Porlyusica stayed but I didn't mind her. I thumped over beside the bed and took a seat in a stool placed beside it.

My gaze was locked on the now sleeping girl. She was ghostly pale mind the black bags under her eyes. Her paleness made her orange hair stick out like a red socks in white clothes. Red lines stained her cheeks from endless tears. She looked like an abused doll.

I sat in silence, listening to the faint sound of her breathing as her chest rose and sunk. Tangerine…what did that bastard put you through?

I growled, thinking of the person who caused her so much pain. I'd electrocute him until his eyes exploded. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. She just lay there.

Porlyusica was making a lot of noise behind me. I turned to see what she was doing, but by that time, she was right beside me, looming over Darcy. "Help me," she commanded. "Grab her shoulders and tilt her upwards."

"Why?"

"I'm going to give her some pain killers that help fade numbing. I also whipped up a mixture to soothe her throat. The eyes I am still working on."

I obeyed, gently placing my hands on Tangerine's shoulders, pulling her forward off the pillow. She was limp and nearly fell over. Her violet orbs emerged from behind her eye lids and blinked several times. Porlyusica put a wrinkly hand into a wooden jar and when she pulled it out it was covered in a magenta cream. She rubbed the cream on Darcy's arms, having to move around me. The cream faded almost immediately into her pale skin. Porlyusica continued spreading the cream on her arms. She stopped momentarily, getting more cream.

"Close your eyes," she snapped at me.

"What? Why?"

Porlyusica narrowed her eyes and shrugged. "Suit yourself." She half lifted Darcy around so I was holding her shoulders from behind and had her head placed on my lap. Tangerine looked up at me and I smirked. Then Porlyusica proceeded to tug Tangerine's shirt up her torso. My eyes widened the further she got and when I saw the pink lace of her bra I snapped my eyes shut.

Calm down, calm down, calm down. Her boobs aren't even that big. Just don't think about it. The bed moved as Porlyusica worked the cream over the upper half of her body. I bit my tongue to keep from peeking.

"You can open them." I slowly pried open my eyes to see Tangerine's shirt covering all but three inches of her milky pale skin. I exhaled.

Porlyusica spread the cream down Darcy's legs, stopping at her short shorts. Once she covered almost all of Tangerine, she told me to sit her up. I pulled on her arms until her head rested against my chest. Usually I would be pretty turned on that the girl I like was practically laying on me, but now, it just felt friendly. The bra didn't help though…

Porlyusica tilted Tangerine's head up, shoving a little cup against her bloody lips that I hadn't seen in her hand. "Drink this."

Tangerine's eyes flicked up to me before parting her lips. Porlyusica poured the chunky green liquid into her mouth, letting some drip down her chin. I nearly threw up at the gross looking liquid.

When she drank all the substance, Porlyusica moved the cup away and pointed to the pillow, saying, "Now lay her back down."

As gentle as I could, I placed her back the way she was before. Tangerine's eyes didn't stop blinking. Once her head was rested on the pillow, Porlyusica nudged me. "You should leave now."

"But-"

"Out! I hate humans!"

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."

I turned to Tangerine. "Bye. Remember what I said before. Now that you are awake, you and me are gonna' hang."

Her eyes grew ever so slightly and her lips moved with pants. I grinned, walking away.

"Laxus."

I stopped, glued to the spot. Tangerine smiled at me as I flipped around. Her voice was so raspy and crackly. It sounded nothing like her cheery normal voice. She pain-stakingly slow lifted her hand and waved me good-bye.

Never had I liked Tangerine more than that moment. This short girl, despite being put through some of the worst torture known to magic, just said my name and waved as her body was numb and sore and damaged. And after/during that brutal pain, she still smiled.

I stood there like an idiot, staring at the absolute wonder that she displayed. "Tangerine…"

She smiled once more and let her eyes flutter closed.
