05 | Sabertooth

"Sting!" Yukino shouted, "Sting, where are you?!"

All of a sudden a sleepy-headed Sting came out of his room, and looked at Yukino saying, "What is it Yukino? Couldn't it have waited till the morning?" He asked, his words slurry.

Yukino giggled, "Oh Sting, it is the morning. You're just a little behind,"

"Oh," Sting said, beginning to wake up and focus, "What is it that you need?"

"Oh that's right," Yukino said, "We need to know who's participating in this year's Grand Magic Games," She said, a smile on her face.

Sting's eyes widened, "What?!" He shouted, "Shouldn't we know by now?"

"Not really..." Yukino broke off, and played with her fingers nervously, "Considering that's your job,"

"My job?" Sting says, as if he could barely believe it himself.

"You are the guild master Sting," came a deep voice behind Yukino.

It was at this moment Sting really wanted to smack Rogue, because he had a smug look plastered on his face.

"But that means I can't compete!" Sting complained, "How am I supposed to kick Natsu's butt now?"

"We'll figure it out," Rogue said confidently, "But first, you need to get dressed," He said, pointing to Sting's pajamas, snickering.

"They're not that bad!" Sting argued, looking down at his striped yellow and blue pajamas.

"For a guild master they are," Rogue replied, "If I didn't know any better I'd say you almost look like Master Makarov. I didn't know he was your idol of how to be a master," Rogue said, teasing Sting.

"Why you little," Sting started, but was cut off by Rogue lifting his hand in the air.

"Now, now 'master' you need to get dressed and decided who's going to participate in this years Grand Magic Games," Rogue said, then walked away, leaving a very irritated Sting.

"Fine," Sting muttered, then turned away and went back to his room.

"Oh Sting," Yukino sighed, "What are we going to do with you?" She said softly, a soft smile on her face.

"Okay!" Sting shouted, "Everybody listen up!"

At the sound of their Master's voice, all of the guild members of Sabertooth turned to listen. Rogue, however, was just amused at Sting considering the mornings events.

Sting, seeing that everyone was now listening said, well more like shouted, "I have decided who will compete in the Grand Magic Games!"

At this everyone started whispering, at least they thought they were, but no one could hear Sting, so he did what any other Master of a guild would do; he shouted.

"EVERYBODY SHUT UP FOR LIKE 1 MINUTE! C'MON!" Sting shouted impatiently.

Those who didn't know him personally were kind of scared, but those who knew him before he became the 'Master' were just amused.

Sting, obviously pleased that everyone had quieted down began again, "I have chosen these people to compete in the Grand Magic Games! First, Yukino!"

Everyone cheered for her, and Sting gave her a bright smile. A smile that is saved specifically for the white haired mage.

"Second, Rogue Cheney! Third, Orga Nanagear! Fourth, Rufus Lore! And fifth, our very own Minerva!"

At that everyone cheered as loud as they could, because they knew that this would be Minerva's first Grand Magic Games since the last time they competed. They knew this time she would actually be able to just have friendly competition without her nasty father breathing down her back.

"And finally!" Sting shouted, but held the suspense, "Sting Eucliffe!"

It was at this moment that everyone thought their master had gone besurk, and apparently Sting noticed this because he quickly said this vow sort of thing.

"Ok, so I, Sting Eucliffe, now renounce my position as the Master of Sabertooth for the period of the Grand Magic Games to the one, the only, Lector!"

Apparently Lector knew nothing about this, in fact, it seemed as if no one knew about it because everyone just looked at the cat with shocked eyes.

However, Rogue just stayed himself and said, "Of course you would find a way to compete in the Grand Magic Games, Sting," He said, his eyes shining with amusement.

Yukino simply giggled at Sting, which in turn made him smile brightly. Eventually, everyone joined in laughing, even Sting and Lector themselves. Everyone knew their master was completely serious, but they couldn't help it; it was very amusing.

When the laughing died down, Sting look at Rogue and said while smiling, "I had to do it,"

"Is that so?" Rogue replied.

"How was I supposed to beat Natsu on the sidelines?" Sting said simply.

Rogue just looked at his friend and shook his head smiling, "I guess we don't have to worry about that now do we?"

Sting just simply smiled at this friend, and they both started laughing which was a rarity for Rogue.

As Sting looked at his guild, he couldn't help but think of how far they had come. He was very proud to call this guild his home and family, and it was all thanks to the guild Fairy Tail; but that didn't mean they weren't going to crush them. It was going to go down this year, and Sabertooth would come on top.
