I dont own Fairytail


Bixlow saw how Laxus seemed to suddenly halt in his seat, eyes open but not really seeing anything. The seith mage had seen it many times and knew that the dragon slayer was constraining on something that was too far for his own ears hear.

So he waited, but then he noticed a small twitch, so small that if he hadn't been Laxus friend for years then he wouldn't have seen the twitch at the corner of his lips. Instantly curiosity flamed in him. What was it that he heard that had Laxus almost smiling?

He didn't have long to think before the said slayer opened his eyes once more and took a long drink from, his mug, finishing it off. Bixlow watched as his friend took a few steps to the balcony and before signaled to Mira.

Instead of two ales he ordered three, Bixlow tilted his head in wonder but as Laxus turned back to the table he gave him a grin.

-She's here? Bixlow asked instantly, his back straining while his wooden dolls flew excitedly over his head.

-Yeah, the slayer confirmed.

Only took a few moments for Kinana to bring the three ales to them and only then did the Lighting slayer continue.

- And we own a favor to Evergreen, because she bringing her to us. His low voice mused,

And true enough only a few second later Bixlow heard their only female team member's voice coming up the stairs.

-You know someone who's called the man eater you sure look nervous to face two guys, Evergreen said teasing the fidgeting Sphinx.

-Never begged you for a coward Minx, she added with a posh voice,

Instantly she received a low hiss and blue eyes narrowing at her, if the female slayer wasn't wearing her veil Evergreen was pretty sure the might have seen a tip of a sharp teeth.

And like she predicted Sphinx instantly was biting back. The distraction kept her from stopping and running before they got to their table.

-Well talking is not one of my areas; she hissed at the brunette her current short fuse instantly reared its head.

- What? Good in sack but a rookie in relationships, Evergreen saw how visibly the raven haired mage flinched and was quick to continue,

- Well I guess the term Man eater does make it obvious where your expertise really lies, she winked and stepped aside just as they took their lasts step.

-It does doesn't it, and its fucking amazing in bed not just good, she muttered her ego not letting it go,

Sphinx almost halted but she felt the older mage put a hand on her back and urge her forward. Their auras were calm and welcoming, one playful, relaxed and reassuring, the other one blazing with raw power that was skillfully controlled.

Her skin seemed to heat as her pulse took a faster phase. Their presence just enveloped her; shutting out her previous anxiety, it felt good, alarmingly good. Yet her sensors hummed in delight as she felt that calm and balance in herself.

Her mind told her that it was not right; it was weird that it felt like this. A prickle down her spine told her that everything wasn't okay but it felt so easy to ignore it now.

Her mind said to just resist it all but she was so tired of feeling all messed up inside. Sphinx breathed in slowly while reculantly taking a step towards them again.

Again Evergreen guided her forth all the way to the table almost as in making sure she wouldn't escape. Bixlow was the first to say anything.

-Hello beautiful, his voice held that carefree attitude as he slowly took of his helmet and looked at her with an almost lazy gaze.

Sphinx slowly sat down, she meant to greet them but somehow the words got caught in her throat.

Evergreen how're fixed it instantly as she suddenly wacked her shoulder hard. It was impossible to keep up with the mood swings.

- Oh for Mavis sake, unless they totally took you breathe away, I assume you still have manners, the brunette huffed,

Again Evergreen received an impressive glare from the feline like mage. Laxus mouth twitched as he heard the small rumbling growl in her breath.

GEEZ, One minute she's trying to solve my life problems the next minute she provoking and whacking me, I should really unleash a little hell on her,

- See what we have to deal with, Bixlow said looking at her comically while gesturing her hand towards the Fairy mage.

- And I swear she and Freed are ruthless, stuck up and, the seith mage didn't get to finish his sentence before him reserved a whack from the now annoyed brunette.

Sphinx felt a smirk come to her face, she could only imagine on how tight leach he two prudes had on the poor seith mage. Breathing in their auras she let her tension go,

- Don't push me Bix, Evergreen hissed before straitening up,

-So Sphinx here is having a bad day, so you two cheer her up,

Instantly Bixlow's grin widened and apparently his team mate was fully aware were his thoughts went because she lifted one pointing finger towards the cheeky seith mage,

- And no Bix, none of that. You will talk, like adults, not some horny teenagers; this will be a civil and fruitful conversation without any perverted or sexual intentions,

The wooden totems around Bixlow quickly giggled and it was obvious form the man's grin that nothing the bossy woman said would get through,

- I thought we established that talking wasn't my strong suit, Sphinx purred,

It didn't surprise her when she felt the brunette whack her again.

- Well learn, look you are going to have to talk and have also a verbal relationship not just all that vulgar acts and man eating stuff,

- I personally don't mind, Bixlow stated instantly,

- But I'm so much better at handling the Man eating- stuff, she grumbled to the fairy mage, only the realized what she said,

The guy's laughed at the groan she let out and as she cover her eyes with one hand.

- Well, I think we got that part covered already, now Laxus I trust you to handle these two perverts, I know you heard that everything is not fine with her,

Fucking dragon hearing,

Sphinx once again cursed in her mind. It annoyed her that she hadn't even thought about it when she opened her mouth. And it annoyed her that Evergreen was really talking about her like she was some puppy, a puppy with troubles.

- You have so little fate in me Ever, I do care as well, the Seith mage argued,

-Tck, anyway, I'll come back in a few I need to go talk to Elfman, the brunette mage sighed before flinging her hair over her shoulder.

Even beside her proudness and sometimes harsh words Sphinx still felt a slight drop in her stomach that the woman was going, leaving her with them.

Instantly her thoughts shocked her, since when had she really become this chicken shit? How depressing,

- So what is it? It was the first time he spoke.

The low baritone voice finally forced her focus at the massive blond slayer. His presence in the room suddenly felt so large that it tuned out the rest of the guild.

Sphinx lifted her hand to her temple as she slowly turned her head to look at those blue-gray colored eyes of Laxus.

It was a two edged blade to look into his eyes. With one look he already has her lungs feel empty yet overwhelmed at the sometime, he was just all that. That was Laxus, an alpha dragon the bone.

They gave her an almost captivating gaze that had her insides warm up in an instant. Those stormy eyes brought back memories and feelings on how it felt like to be close to him. A hunger made her stomach its home, Sphinx's breath hitched for a moment,

How he made her feel as his big hand would run over her sides and hip.

The feral female in her would want to just reach for a male like him; she would hold her head up high while purring in challenge. She wanted to rally him up as well as run away from his absolute dominance.

That combined with his powerful aura had a shiver go down her spine, a warm caressing that made her toes curl in her shoes.

Sphinx could almost imagine a large dangerous dragon breathing hot air down on her, it could eat her in one bite yet it let her live for the moment.

A totally ludicrous thought that had her hold a slight chuckle but still it was the first thing that popped into her mind.

Closing her eyes for a second she let herself enjoy the seductive aura for a moment before pulling up her defenses again and looking away from his handsome face. It was easy to lie and just brush away her problems while in the presence of such auras.

There was no restlessness that nagged at her that keeps her from sleeping at the moment and she knew it was all thanks to them. Sitting there with a seith mage and a slayer had her muscles relax and lungs fill with oxygen again.

It was bittersweet. What had happened that has her being so scarily attracted and responsive to their plain auras?

This was exactly why she had thought about running. It didn't make any scenes anymore and the longing that echoed in her while she was alone at bed was eating her alive. Making it easier for darkness to overcome her mind.

She was tired, tired of the drama, tired of the back and forth bantering, tired of her weird being and instincts pulling her in every direction.

-Hey hey hey, beautiful don't shut us out, his voice was kind and reassuring,

Sphinx felt his hand rub her shoulder. His energy instantly transmitted to her comfort. That warm clam pulsing.

It would be so easy just to lean on him and let everything go. But Sphinx wasn't like that, she held her own, she stood up on her own.

- You do realize that I can sense your distress darling? Bixlow stated kindly beside her, his voice so soft that it almost hurt,

-Well I can sense it, I'm pretty sure Laxus has his own ways, he quickly added,

Once again she looked at Laxus who stayed neutral but she almost knew that he was aware of thing. Her brows frowned as her gaze looked back at the table. Why did it feel like it was all or nothing?

- And we want to help if we can, the tall man said,

Bixlow saw those blue eyes look at him with such uncertainty that if he didn't know better he would have felt slightly offended. The hurricane of emotions and energy in her being was definitely throwing her all over the place.

He wanted to scoop her up, hold her tightly but how could he save her from herself. He needed for Sphinx to open up. It needed to come from her; he needed to know how he could help her,

-Just try it, this face is not just incredible handsome to look at, I'm actually also good a solving problems,

The slight huff of a chuckle from her warmed his soul slightly. Staying silent was the best way of not blurting out things that didn't make any sense,

- We can just start with something easy, hmm,

- So I heard you're on a mission and not coming to the grand party the Sabretooth's masters throwing, Bixlow said casually

- Yeah, I'm leaving in few days,

- Damn it's, what a petty; I would have totally asked you to be my date, his carefree way of talking had Sphinx slightly a puzzled but calm,

- Sorry, I guess you're going to have to ask someone else, she mused quietly,

- Have you heard from Gajeel? Is he coming? Bixlow's voice was still light but that small edge was there.

The female slayer stayed silent for a while and Bixlow even looked up at Laxus worriedly. His face was blank but his eyes told that he was listening intently.

- I, she started but stopped to search the words she wanted to use,

- He's coming back any day now, I think; Sphinx murmured and felt that annoying droop in her stomach,

-Well that's good, the seith mage murmured,

Laxus had picked up on the way her breathing had hitched and the way her jaw tensed from his name. The lighting slayer lowered his arms and leaded over the table.

- He hasn't called?

Even if he might not like Gajeel but if he knew anything about the guy he would have contacted Sphinx. The guy was too attracted towards her not to try some kind of communication.

Sphinx grimaced and Laxus felt his temper rising,

Had he really not even called her once? Fucking iron prick,

- He did, twice; she murmured making the blond slayed now confused,

- I, kind of got spooked? She murmured and rubbed her head awkwardly,

-From a lacrima call? Bixlow chuckled,

- Well, what was I supposed to say? I'm not used to call backs,

- Ouch, he reached out; he wasn't asking for you to marry him, the seith mage laughed,

- Well I panicked, she hissed,

- Sphinx the guy's into you, it's actually quit common to reach out for the one you're interested in while you're away,

- Aggh, I guess, she whined, her hand came up to run threw her hair,

- Poor guy's probably thinking you're not interested at all, Bixlow said while leaning back,

-I bet his even messing up his mission for this,

There was a noise sounding like a whine before Sphinx leaned forward and hit her forehead against the table. There was a small laughter around her.

- So you miss him, it came out more of a statement that an actual question.

Sphinx lifted her head to tilt it towards the blond male, she knew what he meant just didn't really know the answer.

- I guess, I don't know,

The solution that it would only be her missing him causing these problems seemed way too easy, it would feel this bad if it only was that? Right?

- When was the last time you slept well? Bixlow asked quickly,

- Hmm, head turned towards the male slayer,

-With him earlier, she admitted, after waking up Sphinx had actually been very surprised to feel better and rested without any anxiety,

-And before that? Laxus asked,

- With Gajeel, her voice lowered,

- And before him you were having a total mental breakdown, flinging people and attacking everyone.

Again she groaned and frowned her brows at the memory.

- Well, I think that's it then. You miss him, you miss Gajeel,

Sphinx gave a low growl;

This can not only be that, why does it feel like soothing bad is happening all the time then, Her mind argued at their logic just as that same prickle of something bad went down her spine.

- You may not like it but a part of you has taken quite the likening towards Gajeel,

-Mavis only knows why, he eats metal, Bixlow shook his head before continuing,

- And apparently as well Laxus because you slept quite peacefully when I visited, Bixlow grinned knowingly.

Oh god, creepy, he visited and I had no idea, again she whined in her mind.

- And you stopped fidgeting when you came up and sat down just now, so-o I'm guessing you're a sucker for slayers, The seith mage concluded,

Sphinx thought about his words and how the stung the 'independent woman' side of her. But still something in that explanation didn't sit quit right. Sure they had the calming effect on her but this balance that she felt wasn't a slayer thing,

Sure Laxus and Gajeel's auras had an immense power and effect on her but the way she relaxed and felt serenity come over didn't exactly feel like Laxus at the moment.

- Your wrong, Sphinx said before lifting her hand up.

Her hand slid over the table and without asking she smoothly ran her fingers over Laxus hand. Instantly she felt the warm skin and the current running just beneath it. She felt the tremors that he gave her and that dragon stirring.

- I feel the charge, the power, her voice got to that low murmur making everything suddenly more intimate.

- I feel his dominance,

Her eyes flashed to Laxus who fleet the carving to touch her grow. Her blue eyes swirled like a flame tonight, her deep hunger shining just beneath the surface and it almost made him call for her.

- I feel the dragon and the way I respond to it, It makes me want to both throw him in chains and bend my back over this table, her voice dipped again and Laxus had to take in a slow breath just to keep from moving.

She trailed his knuckles and fingers a moment longer before withdrawing. Then her face turned to the neutral looking seith mage beside her. She lifted her hand up and rested her elbow on the table. Bixlow watched her open palm for a moment before bringing his hand to hers.

Sphinx let her fingers take a light hold of him and focused on the precise feeling he gave her.

-With you it's different; her brow frowned as she concentrated on the words.

-Unlike with slayers your aura is a mystery, I really haven't meet anyone like you,

- You feel calm, playful and reassuring; her eyes looked at their entwined hands

- I can't stop you, I can't really block you, you have seen a glimpse of the hell inside me and yet here you are all carefree and relaxed with me,

There was an almost sad happiness in her voice that only attracted Bixlow to hold onto her,

- I'm not saying this is all for me, I mean I'm kind of selfishly saying that but somehow you make it feel a little less confusing, she searched for her point looking at the table like it had the answers for her,

-and that if needed you would always reach me, Sphinx turned to him again in slight puzzlement,

Bixlow felt the warmth spread inside him. He had seen her dark soul, but could see the beauty in it. His hand held onto hers a little tighter, never wanting to let go of her. It felt a little awkward to admit that that and the female slayer hadn't even expected to say these things out loud.

Sphinx glanced at him just as he felt that playfulness come over her. His fingers rubbed her and softly just making him even more present.

He was just a beautiful human being,

- I can't explain you or you aura, but right now, it's not Laxus that's got me calm, this is all you,

-you can somehow give me that serenity and balance that desperately need.

-I don't know if it its they soul magic or your own playfulness but right now it's very alluring, calming and really helpful,

The raw truth in her words had him smiling; he was like that about Sphinx she just blurted things out. There was that mischief that sparked in her eyes.

- Okay and I might just be imagining what sex with you would be like at the moment; actually you make me think about sex like all the time,

- Oh thank Mavis! Bixlow exhaled and laughed,

- For a minute there I thought you were going to friend zone me,

He took their hand to his face and kissed her knuckles. Sphinx felt his kisses like butterflies in her stomach, easing her that fire in her and a pleasant wave swirl down to core. She could never friend zone him,

-Carful Bixlow Evergreen won't go easy on you, Laxus said with a hint of humor in his voice.

With a last small kiss Bixlow chuckled and leaned a little back.

- Alright, so onwards, so you miss the Iron head, you can't sleep, I'm absolutely awesome, what else is there?

Sphinx shrugged, she felt like she had opened up enough. The rest she was having hard enough time to figure out in her mind, putting them to words was impossible.

It was obvious something was scratching at her mind but at the moment she was granted a little peace from its dark intention so she was going to enjoy it. So sighing she shook her head a little.

Quickly blue eyes turned to Laxus and a thought came in her mind.

-How come you don't get all moody when he does things?

Sphinx asked, ignoring how his eyes narrowed from being called moody,

- Oh, beautiful that easy,

Bixlow didn't take heed to the waring but snacked his arm around her waist and pulled her against him.

- I'm pack, his face lowed to her hair and the seith mage joyed to have her there so close.

Sphinx looked at Laxus as in almost confirmation, it kind of made sense. It was still kind of fascinating,

- I'm neutral, I'm not dominant slayer like Gajeel, I'm not a rival or someone strange, Bixlow spoke into her hair,

- His a friend, I trust him. The man spoke yet his eyes seemed so strong they felt piercing,

- So you just don't get jealous of him? So even if I would go all ov-

Her sentence was quickly interrupted by a low but powerful growl,

Laxus wasn't even touching her, yet Sphinx could feel his growl shake her body. Instantly her back straightened like someone had caught her doing something bad. Even Bixlow seemed to have leaned a little back.

- Heck, the seith mage muttered behind her before sighing,

- I know right, seems to just shake my insides, Sphinx agreed feeling a little flushed all of a sudden.

- I do have self-control, but it is not wise to push it, the lightning slayer said almost arrogantly to them.

Sphinx glanced at the seith mage and silently mouthed the words 'jealous' so Laxus couldn't see. Bixlow grinned and chucked at her before mouthing back, 'totally'.

Both of them jumped once again as the slightly agitated dragon slayer let out another warning growl, apparently they weren't being as stealthy as they thought.

-What makes you want to run? His voice rang low and in a way strict manner,

Sphinx looked up at Laxus warily,

- I'm a wreck, she said slowly while her brows furred,

Her eyes once again looked at her hand. She could not see anything different but she felt her demon craw just under her skin. They were restless. Quickly shutting her eyes she constrained in the present.

- Before everything I got by just fine, I did jobs, worked had fun with a Cana, no strings attached, no responsibilities or feeling all guilty if I do stuff,

- I only had to take care of me, only had to handle my own ass and my magic, Sphinx explained,

- Sounds actually quite simple, Bixlow commented and took a drink.

- Yeah, she shrugged,

- So what has changed so much that got you all spooked, the blond man asked,

- I can't be that carefree anymore, I don't do even have of the stuff I used to find so fun, again she shifted in her seat,

- It's not really your fault, but I'm kind of lost I guess, I feel lonely, that's something I haven't felt after my sister was killed,

They men stayed silent as this was new to them, they were aware that her sister was dead but they didn't know she was killed.

-I'm good on my own, but now I'm having trouble sleeping, something I'm really good at, I miss people in a whole new level and I really don't like these feelings, they kind of suck,

Laxus leaned forwards as he needs to confirm something. The dragon in him quickly picked up on something,

- It's not just feelings is it? It's a lot more than just your basic feelings,

Sphinx let out a low groan at his observations. She knew there was truth in his words but she could never explain it. This time it was Laxus who took a hold of her hand.

His warm large hand enveloped hers almost harshly. Instantly she felt him around her, the link they shared emphasizing his point. His touch was like puzzles finally clicking together, making her want to just groan in both pleasure and annoyance.

- That, his voice dipped lower, the kind of low that echoed deliciously in your head,

-That bond, that pull, wouldn't be there if there if you weren't in this also, it's not that you're confused as much as your mind is actually fighting the physical side of you,

Laxus could see the energies swirled in her eyes, he could feel how she wasn't quit liking what he was saying. He could feel her aura harden over little by little becoming just a little bit more defensive.

It amazed how strong their bond was for him to feel all that's going on with her.

-you have chaos inside, the dragon slayer whispered,

He couldn't put it in any other words, she was both hot like and inferno and cold as ice, at the same time. Her aura felt like it wanted to both massage and tear him apart.

She knew all this in some ways was true; but the truth itself suddenly felt like he had given her a shock with his magic rather than just talked to her.

He wasn't trying to being mean or demanding; Laxus was being truthful, which suddenly felt so much worse.

A wave of uncertainty, rebeliation and almost angers rose in her quicker than she could blink. Something seemed to tear dangerously inside her and for a moment she felt like she lost control.

Fuck, Sphinx cursed before she felt that said chaos erupt inside

The feral monster in her was quick to strike at the right moment. A demonic cream echoed in her head shutting all noise down. Her eyes widened as air left her lungs.

Laxus felt the change in her and even he had to swallow, not in fear but the intensity she had just suddenly flared. His pulse quickened as the dragon in him sensed a danger.

Oh shit, he thought but didn't let go of her hand,

-Sphinx, he asked worry already loudly coating his words.

Sphinx's eyes became paler shade of blue. Clear thinking was replaced by animal instinct. The irrationality of the situation was quickly muted in her mind as her instincts stole control so suddenly.

Automatically Sphinx tried to yank her hand back but of course Laxus didn't let her. Her pale blue eyes glared at him venomously and beneath her mask she bared her teeth at him. Her skin felt too hot while her shoulders shock with rage,

-Hey hey hey, easy kitten, his not trying to hurt you, Bixlow said while placing a hand on her shoulder,

She answered him in the only possible way she suddenly could with a snarl so raw that later she wonder how Bixlow had even had the courage to keep his reassuring hand on her. But he held his ground and once again his aura tugged softly at her being.

Just like she had said his reach instantly connected. In a blink Sphinx pulled herself back and took control back.

Damn, she exhaled heavily, a little shaken from her own reaction. Her eyes darkened to their normal blue and she nodded her thanks to Bixlow,

Something was definitely up,

Biting her lip Sphinx took a breath before exhaling slowly trying to control her own hostile reactions. She felt Laxus relax his hold on her hand. Later she would wonder if Laxus had held onto that hand in self-defense knowing fully her tendency to lash out nowadays?

-I know, just not really cool with all of that I guess, her free hand came up to her mask and pulled it down so she could get air better,

It all may have happened in only mere seconds but it still left her winded and heated. She still controlled her breathing before rolling she shoulders will that panic to go away. She felt that sour burning in her chest, like she accidently swallowed a hot iron.

- Your instincts are fighting but a part of you want us,

- You growl at me but look how you calm down the minute he connects with you, Laxus explained nudging towards Bixlow,

- And you still ask why I feel like running, she almost huffed at him her eyes looked back and forth over the table.

-Running's not going to solve anything darling, Bixlow mused beside her,

He felt the clashing and storm in her being and just wanted to balance it, he knew the strain in took on her.

- Yeah but it seems logical to be to put some distance, take a few months long mission maybe, let things dissolve, she murmured rubbing her eyes with her hand,

- Dissolve? What you mean the bonds? The seith mage exclaimed a little louder.

There was a small pang of guild when she heard his voice. Sphinx avoided looking at him knowing that his handsome face would make her feel even worse.

Ah shit, I'm the bad guy again; she thought sadly, she hated to be the one to make him frown.

The movement on her side, made her head turns only to see Laxus get up so fast that the chair fell backwards. Again instinct took over her body and by the word, run, echoed in her mind.

But the poor female didn't have time to move before Laxus whisked her effortlessly off her seat.

Shit,

Almost slamming her back against the nearest wall and digging his fingers to her sides Laxus wanted to make it clear that there was no escape from him right now. Sphinx looked wide eyed at Laxus angry face, he was pissed of yet somehow still calm.

Scary

- Do you think that's an option? He all but growled lowly at her, making a chill go down her spine.

There was a hint of ruthlessness in his stare that had her swallowing loudly. His aura pressed on her mercilessly,

- Do you think that you can just go and put distance? That that would make everything go back to your normal?

Laxus pressed himself closer, leaning so that as he spoke his chin touched her hair, Sphinx could see Bixlow staring back at her just over Laxus shoulder, yet he didn't make a move to get to her.

- Do you actually think we wouldn't follow and find you?

The rumbling in his chest had her take in short breaths like it was hard to breath. Her train of thoughts and witty comments were hushed quickly by his dominance as he held her there between him and the wall.

- These bond are not something you break just like that,

-So you can snarl, lash and rebel all you want but you are going to have to face that Sphinx,

Bixlow watched tensely beside them. He knew what Laxus was doing; he was giving her the harsh truth. It made him almost feel bad to think that she needs this kind of radical awakening. But when she said that she's even thinking about breaking their connecting without even really giving them a choice, he can't lie, it hurt.

So he kind of did hope Laxus would get through to her but it could go either way with them two. Especially when she was on the edge as well,

I can't believe that I'm even thinking this but where the fuck in Gajeel when his needed. That tin can could actually help.

The seith mage let a nervous hand go through his hair.

- You need to stat fucking realizing the situation already, these bond are not going to break,

- They will get only stronger; you said it yourself, you changing meaning that you're also responding.

Laxus was getting more agitated by the minute and Bixlow was starting to wonder if his temper got the best of him.

- You miss that Iron freak already; you can't sleep without me or him so open your eyes already, you yearn for us,

His voice was harsh burning in her mind, making her insides hurt and hearth hammer. Laxus was really agitated by her, that fact alone made her feel pain inside that made her hiss out loud.

She didn't know at what point had she lifted her hands and dag her nails into Laxus hand but it had no effect on the angry dragon slayer.

- You need to stop fighting every fucking thing, you can't help it,

Laxus could feel her try to move, he could hear her dislike in her snarls but he didn't let go. He could feel her rapid heartbeat. But right now he wanted her to understand that running would do no good. This wasn't the first time he had truly connected with anyone and he was not letting it go.

Her eyes swirled feral at him once again, making him only push her harder again to wall. After that reaction a second ago he was almost waiting for her to lose it again.

Yet as he looked at her eerie pale eyes again a cold feeling ripped down his neck. But he would get through to her. He would get this female to realize the situation and stop pushing the breaks.

He would get to her. He must!

He heard Bixlow say something but he right now he could only focus on the female in his hand. The temperature got hotter and her aura pushed against him. She bared her teeth at him predatory and narrowed ehr eyes.

- Laxus! A piercing feminine voice broke her growl.
