"I get the feeling you are not used to being praised or even being appreciated like this. But here we truly appreciate what you have not known you have done for us. I couldn't even thank you enough to pay it back. So please don't hesitate to come here."

"I won't. I promise." Reinhart replied with, it was really all he could say.

End Flashback:

With a small smiled he put on the necklace. His heart beat with pride and honor. 'I never knew how much I was helping out the area around. Now I know just how much of an echo effect these jobs have.' Hearing yelling made him start to chuckle, "I would know those voices anywhere."

Now:

Walking out from the trees he could see what he expected, Gray and Natsu butting heads. He shook his head and chuckled scaring Lucy making the female teen turn and look at him. "Oh, it's just you."

"Yeah, just me."

Natsu immediately left his bicker with the Ice Make wizard and ran over to the yellow eyed male, "Reinhart!" Gray sighed looking away probably for his clothes. "You're here too."

Reinhart smiled giving Natsu a side hug, "Yeah, I'm here too. How are you Gray?"

The ice wizard shrugged, "Still got to go to the bathroom." Then Gray disappeared to go look for a different place.

Lucy smiled at Reinhart still hugging Natsu. Just seeing the Dragon Slayer hugging the older male made her ridiculously happy. The two of them reminded her of siblings. "So how did your jobs go?"

"As well as could be expected. The dark guild wasn't happy to see me though." Reinhart said with a dark smirk.

The blond tilted her head intrigued, "Why?"

Natsu opened his eyes looking pleased, "He's their boogieman. He specializes in hunting down dark guilds." His eyes found the necklace, "Hey nice necklace, where did you get it?"

Reinhart touched the necklace his smirk falling to a small smile, "This is a token of appreciation from Mayor Crill of River Wood. I apparently am their unaware savior up until I went there to get help for Clove Tunnels. I don't know how but every time I take a job it appears I always stop them from reaching River Wood."

Lucy smiled, "That's is so nice of them."

Reinhart sat with Natsu, Lucy, while Happy got ready to fish. When Gray joined him the yellow eyed man yanked the younger brunet into a headlock. "What is up brat?"

"Hey! Let me go." Natsu laughed joyfully watching while Lucy giggled at the two of them acting like they were. "Reinhart, seriously…"

"Call mercy."

"No!"

"Well then…" Gray grunted when the older gave him a noogie.

"D…damn it!" The Ice Make wizard tried to get free, "Let me go before I freeze you."

"Oh, is that so?" Reinhart smirked, "So if you can use your powers on me then I can use mine on you."

Gray froze in his struggle, his eyes wide. No one in the guild knew what magic Reinhart practiced except his wife, the master and Mirajane. They did however know that it was terrifying because he could take out entire dark guilds himself somehow without causing the extensive damage that Fairy Tail was known for. The damage he seemed to cause was with his own body or throwing people. "Tha…that was a joke."

Lucy paled, from what she understood Reinhart was already terrifying. But now that she knew Reinhart was the dark guilds boogieman gave her ample fear in her veins. Just what could the yellowed eyed man do? "S…so…"

"Call for mercy."

"Okay, mercy mercy. Please let me go." Reinhart let the teen go allowing him to fall on his butt. Gray winced then glared at Natsu who was still laughing. Reinhart sat next to the pinkette and pushed him over chuckling.

Lucy looked at Gray, "So you were coming back from a job I can guess?"

The teenage brunet nodded rubbing the back of his head, "Yeah, there is a shortcut through these woods that will get you back to town in no time."

Happy smiled at the blond with a happy grin, "See I told you so."

Reinhart chuckled hearing Lucy's question, "Well if your nose is so great how come you didn't know Gray was right in front of us?"

The man some how held in his laugh when the blue cat responded, "There are some things you don't want to smell." Happy looked so proud of his response.

This irritated the brunet teen only to get more irritated when Natsu responded smugly from leaning back against Reinhart's side. Lucy couldn't help but gush inside they looked more and more like siblings the more she saw Natsu near Reinhart in such a small setting of people. "I agree. So go on home and we will smell you later."

Gray rolled his eyes saying as he stood up, "Fine I will and unless you want trouble you will too."

Reinhart shook his head; he already knew where this was going. He nudged the pink haired male to sit up on his own as Lucy asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Cause Erza's due back anytime now."

Reinhart chuckled as Natsu went stiff and Lucy said in shock, "The Erza?"

"Yeah, she's the most powerful woman in all of Fairy tail." Happy said around the fish in his mouth.

The man grabbed his stuff as the teens continued to talk. The blond gushing about meeting the red head. Reinhart shook his head and looked over his shoulder but before he could say anything Lucy continued with, "But you know I haven't even seen a picture of her in Sorcerer Weekly or anything like that. What is she like?"

Gray and Natsu instantly responded at the same time, "Scary."

"Oh, she's not that bad." Reinhart said rolling his eyes, he raised an eyebrow when Natsu and Gray started talking about the redhead.

"A wild animal." Gray said then Natsu added:

"A beast."

Happy then jumped in with an excitable statement, "More like a full on monster!"

"Now you guys are just being dramatic." The yellow eyed man responded with a smile.

"She's as scary as Reinhart is." Gray said with a raised eyebrow looking at the man, "Hey, where are you going?"

"Back home. If you don't remember, unlike you kiddies I have a wife that I haven't seen in a few days. I miss my wife and our little brats."

Lucy smiled, "You have kids."

"Not blood children more like two pets that can be just as bratty as human children. Love them to death though." Reinhart chuckled, "Well, got to go. I'm sure Viper is going to jump on me when I walk through the door. He gets weird when I am gone."

Gray looked away with sigh as Natsu said with a big bright smile, "Hey, you should bring Viper and Midnight to the guild. They haven't been around in a while."

Reinhart smiled, "Sure I will do that. I'm sure they are dying to hang out there again." He shrugged, "Well I got to go. See you all at the guild." Reinhart ran off though he could hear Lucy asking about how he and Erza were so scary, well other than him looking scary. He sighed as he ran through the forest with a smile. He couldn't wait to get home and hold his wife in his arms. Though he knew Kristina was probably at work keeping herself busy.

Getting to the house he stepped in and dropped his bag, "Viper, Midnight I'm home." However no animals made their way over to him, "Hm, I wonder where they went." Going up to the room with his bag he found the tank and the master bed empty of pets as well. "Interesting, they must be sleeping in their hiding places or elsewhere. Oh well." Reinhart shrugged dropping his bag on the bed and walked out to the front door. "I'll just head to the guild."

The moment he walked into the guild he was tackled by a black cobra. Reinhart had to laugh, "I should have known. She would have brought you to work with her. I bet you were being a little terror while I was gone hu?" Viper lovingly rubbed his head against Reinhart's chin. This made his master laugh, "I take you missed me big man. I hope you took care of mommy?"

"Oh, you have no idea. He wouldn't let me go anywhere without him?" Kristina smiled walking up to him and giving him a kiss. "How was the missions? I heard from a town that the missions was not in gave you a high praise."

Reinhart rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah, Mayor Crill said he would. He actually gave me this." His hand touched the necklace on his neck.

"Wow, it looks so nice. It feels enchanted."

"It is. I'm told it will help me heal two times faster than normal." He smiled allowing Viper to tangle himself around his master/father, "Apparently it's from a monster I killed around there three years ago. It seemed like they were so happy I killed it that they had spells put on it and waited for the time I would be around for them to get it go me." Reinhart's face turned a little red telling his wife that.

"Oh, aren't you just adorkable." Kristina said with a smile then walked off with the tray of drinks she was to deliver to others in the guild hall. "Meet me at the bar I'll get your favorite and a drink for you." Reinhart beamed and bolted to bar to wait for his wife.
