Chapter 6

Raven tail

Ivan pov

Gajeel… of all the people I was wrong about it had to be you… either way when I destroy Fairy tail I'll make sure you'll hurt the most. Now if I could get this lacryma to work…

The lacryma in Ivan's hands was from the sword of the Aramis estate. Its previously crystalline hilt was now sheared off. After Kurohebi stole the sword Ivan worked to remove its magic. He'd originally thought that it had been a dragon lacryma but now it was obviously not. Several days and dozens of dead fauna later its power still refused to obey him… crack… he now understood why he couldn't drain its power. A blonde girl now lay in the middle of his laboratory.

He couldn't believe his luck.

The guild two weeks later

Levy pov

It took two weeks for her and Freed to write runes strong enough to contain Rana's power. And she was dead tired from it. The first set of runes disintegrated right after contact. After plenty of sleepless nights and more errors than she thought possible they had done it. The downside unfortunately was they had to be reapplied every six hours like those pain killer pills. Thank Mavis, Freed had created stickers that did the job perfectly. As it turns out the draconic version would've been more permanent ( Rana's body ate away at normal magic ) but Levy was still translating them straight off of Rana's body. Levy was about to tear Gajeel a new one when he got back from the job he'd taken the day after she appeared. He'd adamantly refused to help in any form or fashion after master asked her to help. If he had she might have a permanent solution already, one that didn't require her to practically write lines like in detention, but she wouldn't stop till she gave Rana control over her own body.

Rana: "Hey, Levy?"

Levy: "Oh, hey what's up?"

When she looked up Levy had noticed the guild wasn't as full as she thought it should be but thought nothing of it. However the worried look Rana carried on her face bothered her.

Rana: "I know I can't see your face but even I can tell you're tired, take a break, relax."

Levy: "Let me finish one more, at least then you would have forty-three until you have to reapply."

Rana gave her a slightly amused look and crossed her arms before leaning toward her suddenly. Levy was surprised and was taken back for a minute.

Rana: "Levy… hate to break it to you but, I've had to reapply twice already and Mira was about to come to force feed you."

Levy: "Wait what?"

Levy looked toward Mira and sure enough the barmaid was coming in her direction with chicken and biscuits.

Rana: "It's already nine-thirty at night. What time did you think it was?"

Levy: "I thought it was just past noon but I guess I wasn't paying attention."

Rana giggled as Mira arrived with both of their dinners.

Rana: "I don't need that many anyway. If I run out I'll wear something to cover up and find you. The excess patches are nice but don't stress over it."

Levy: "Are you sure I…"

Levy had planned on making a lot more than she had already maybe 200 or so before she stopped and it worried her to think that now forty-one was going to be enough.

Rana: "I'm sure. I appreciate the gesture but I'll be ok... besides Lucy and Lisanna decided to take me shopping today since I only had the clothes you loaned me."

Rana had been wearing levy's orange dress, the one she'd worn during the battle of fairy tail, for the past week since it was the least revealing thing Levy owned and while it fit her and looked good it was snug. The poor girl didn't complain but it wasn't her style to do so. They'd found that out when Natsu accidentally set her plate of chicken alfredo on fire. She'd used her magic to put it out then continued eating around the outer shell of carbon left behind. Mira was furious and made Natsu promise to pay for Rana's food bill for the next month. Either way Levy was curious to see what Lucy and Lisanna picked out.

Lucy: "Hey! Levy! Do ya wanna come over to my place to see what we bought!?"

Lucy was standing at the door waiting for an answer with Lisanna both of them clad with shopping bags on their arms.

Levy: "yeah sure Lu! Let me finish eating and i'll be right there!"

Erza: "I'll be going there as well!"

Levy looked toward Erza but said nothing. She already knew there was no use arguing with her about showing up at Lucy's. Erza ended waiting around to walk them to Lu's apartment. It was awkward. Erza kept investigating random sounds which Levy suspected was just cats and other small animals fleeing from sight as they walked past.

When they finally got to Lu's Levy found a place on the couch and lounged out with her legs on Erza's lap. The comfort made her drowsy but she managed to stay awake after Erza pushed her legs off to go to the bathroom. Since they'd arrived Rana appeared in the three different but similar outfits they chose that day which consisted of armless body suits of different colors, loose fitting tops with loose ballet shorts and long matching gloves.

Rana: "Thank's you guy's I really appreciate everything!"

Lucy: "It's no problem, Mira had made a little fund so we could get you some essentials and most of the guild chipped in!"

Erza: "What do you plan to do after Wendy gives you the ok to leave?"

Rana: "Well I was thinking about it earlier and I think I want to Join the guild…Is it alright with you guys…?"

Erza: "Of course"

Erza looked elated though one question stood out in my mind.

Levy: "Are you going to move into Fairy Hills?"

Rana: "Sure why not."

Erza: "This is cause for celebration I must get some strawberry cake at once!"

Lucy: "yeah, sure you do that."

We all burst out laughing after Erza's departure that night for strawberry cake.
