Chapter Three: A Tiger & Fairy
I squealed excitedly arriving at the huge capital of Fiore. Crocus. The city of Crocus is incredible and beautiful. I've never been to a city this huge before. Granted I've been on quests all over Fiore but I have never been to Crocus before.
"Hey guys, I'm going to go explore for a bit!" I waved goodbye running off eagerly into the huge city.
"Don't forget to be in our inn before midnight!" I heard Laxus yell sternly.
I gave him a thumbs up as I disappeared into the sea of people.
We had arrived at the Guild from our three month training period a couple of days ago. Gramps had been waiting for us to inform us that he had signed up Natsu, Lucy, Erza, Wendy and Gray us up as a team. But since more than one team can participate from each Guild he was also made a B team. Consisting of Laxus, Juvia, Gajeel and I. He made us swear not to tell anyone since he wanted B Team to be a surprise.
He also explained to us that Jellal will be pretending to be Msytogen. Jellal is considered that Zeref might do something at the games. So we were also sworn to secrecy regarding Jellal since he was still a wanted criminal. No wonder after 3 month of training with him he insisted on coming back with me. And here I thought he just wanted to see Erza. This man is all business.
For the last three months I had been training with Jellal. His Heavenly Body Magic complemented my Cosmo Dragon Slayer magic. At first I had asked Erza if she had any idea where I could find him at the beginning of my training. But she sadly had no information. For the first one week I did my training with Laxus but shortly after I was contacted by Jellal and his group.
"Juns!" I suddenly heard someone yell.
I looked around surprised at hearing my name. They yelled my name again from across the street. I saw Cana running happily towards me and I grinned.
"Cana!" I waved back happily.
She finally caught up to me hooking her arm with mine, we happily continued walking.
"I need a drinking buddy and someone to pick up hot guys with." Cana explained happily dragging me towards the nearest hub.
I laughed excited, "Don't expect too much from me today though Cana, I have other plans later tonight." I told my friend happily.
After a couple of hours of drinking and bar hoping with Cana she wondered off happily with a guy in tow. I chuckled at the memory. Poor guy, he has no idea what he got himself into. I looked up at the slowly emerging stars and listened to all the happy people laughing around me. Stars and happy people. Just my kind of night.
I wandered around a bit more through the busy streets glancing up at the clock tower. It was barely 9. I should head back and relax for a bit. Maybe Laxus will want to go get some late dinner.
I made my way towards the inn but stopped when I caught Lucy's and Natsu's scent nearby. Hm, maybe I can catch up with them for a bit and then head to the inn. As I got closer to them I saw a huge crowd surrounding a couple of people fighting.
I squeezed my way through the tight crowd and was surprised to see Natsu on the ground and an arrogant blond mage standing over him. His arrogant smirk rubbed me the wrong way.
"The dragon slayer who couldn't slay a dragon." he taunted haughtily.
I narrowed my eyes annoyed. I glared at the condescending blond. Who the hell does he think he is? I stormed over to him, angrily pushing past a dark hair male who looked at me surprised.
"Hey." I growled furiously.
The arrogant blond look at me confused. I stared into his confuse slit pupil blue eyes with my furious dark blue eyes. We just stared at each other. There was something in those eyes that call my attention.
"Hey sunshine, let me finish up here and you'll have your turn." He finally spoke seductively, a pure devilish smirk gracing his lips.
I scowled, hissing angrily. I swiftly punched him. My fist collided roughly with his face. He stumbled backwards but quickly got his balance back. He looked at me annoyed, glaring angrily.
"First you insult my friends and then you talk to me like a whore." I growled deadly, not loosening up my glare.
He made his way towards me but his dark hair friend quickly place a hand on his shoulder, stopping him in his tracks.
"What Rogue?" the blond demanded angrily.
I looked over the pair noticing the Sabertooth mark on the blond's left shoulder. They're from Sabertooth. The blond looked average height not that much taller than me. He's slim, yet muscular young man. His spiky blond hair jutted outwards in every direction with a smaller frontal tuft of hair partially hanging over his forehead.
'Wait. What the hell?! Why am I checking him out?!' I thought freaking out, feeling a hot blush creep onto my cheeks. 'Will he is insanely hot. Hard not to stare.' I thought fondly, looking over his exposed abs dreamily.
"Sting, we mustn't start trouble with other guilds. We could get disqualified." The man known as Rogue spoke stoically to his blond hair partner, which I now knew was named Sting.
"Natsu, Lucy, and Happy you guys should head back to the inn. You have to be there before 12." I suggested sternly, not looking away from the Sabertooth members.
"June? What the hell are you doing here?" Natsu yelled shocked, finally getting onto his feet angrily.
"Natsu." I snapped sternly, leaving no room for argument. "Lucy take him and head back to the inn, now." I growled furiously, glaring seriously at Natsu.
Natsu gulped nervously at me, looking at my heated glare.
"Ok." He stuttered nervously as Lucy dragged him away quickly.
"Let's go Sting, we should head back as will." Rogue suggested just as sternly.
"You're a pretty feisty one sunshine." Sting grined excitedly, his dark blue eyes never looking away from me, he softly rubbed his sore cheek.
"Next time you decide to bad mouth a dragon slayer make sure I'm not around prick." I hissed angrily.
His grin widen, showing off his pearly white teeth along with his distinctively sharp canine teeth. He's defiantly a dragon slayer like me.
"Huh, you a dragon slayer sunshine?" he questioned cunningly.
I grunted annoyed, not liking his flirtatious, cocky attitude at all. He pisses me off. I simply smirked, "Guess you'll have to figure it out." I reply slyly walking away from the Sabertooth duo.
I had only made it a couple of blocks away when I smelt someone following me. I sniffed the air around me and a deep muscular smell mix with light filled my senses. The aroma gave me chills. I have never smelled anything so sweet and alluring. I continued walking not slowing down.
"Tsk, how long are you going to follow me like a creepier?" I growled annoyed at the man currently following me.
I heard him chuckle in amusement from behind me. I finally stop walking. I felt the soft night breeze blow my hair softly. I tensed up nervously when I felt him stand directly behind me. A weird feeling stirred in the pit of my stomach. My breath hitched when I felt his breathe blow across my neck. I didn't move. I heard him take a deep breath taking my scent in. Why the hell am I letting him stand this close to me? I should kicked him where the sun don't shine just for standing this close and being a creep. But for some reason I liked it. No. I can't like it.
I finally stepped away pulling myself together I turned around glaring at him. His amused blue eyes stared into my anger blue eyes. I felt that weird feeling in my stomach again. I clinched my jaw angrily not liking this feeling at all.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I demand infuriated, placing my hand firmly on my hip.
"Smelling you. Only fair you smelt me first." He replied cheekily, taking a few steps closer to me.
"I did not." I stuttered flustered, feeling the blush creeping again.
'What the hell?! Why the hell am I blushing?! I don't blush! Especially not around an arrogant bastard like him!' I thought disgusted with myself.
"So you're a dragon slayer." He confirmed knowingly, smirking.
I scoffed annoyed, "So." I replied shrugging it off indifferently.
"Will according to my partner Lector, we're supposed to be a rare breed." Sting commented arrogantly, leaning too close for comfort. "Never thought I would meet such a beautiful dragon slayer like yourself." He added, smirking arrogantly.
I hate that arrogant smirk so much. 'No you don't, you love that smirk.' A small voice taunted from deep inside.
"Will, I never thought I would meet such a stuck up prick like yourself." I restored bluntly, smirking when I saw him frown.
"You really don't like me, do you?" he questioned suddenly amused leaning away from me.
"I hate arrogant bastards like you." I stated firmly.
"Hm, strange, never meet a girl who isn't head over heels for me."
"First time for everything prick." I replied plainly. "What do you want anyways?" I questioned him annoyed.
He stood quiet for a moment. We just stared at each other silently.
"Let's go on a date tomorrow night." He finally offered slyly.
"No." I replied bluntly, pretending to be uninterested in his offer.
Secretly my insides bubbled with excitement at the thought of going on a date with him.
"Then how about we make a bet sunshine." He suggested cunningly.
I raised an eyebrow in mild interest, "What kind of bet?" I questioned suddenly curious.
"If Sabertooth wins tomorrows challenge you and I will go on date." Sting bet confidently.
I smirked amused, "Alright, but if Fairy Tail wins, you'll leave me alone for the rest of the games and every time you see me you'll address me as Lady Juneaux." I stated just as confidently, grinning excitedly.
Sting offered me his glove hand, "Deal." He replied firmly.
I take his hand shaking it firmly sealing our bet. When our hands touch soft shock waves shot through me. That weird feeling made its presence once again. I tried to ignore these weird feelings. After sealing the deal I quickly pulled my hand away from Sting. I noticed him strangely look at his glove hand as he turned around to walk away.
He suddenly stopped and glanced at me one last time, smirking he said, "Make sure you wear something nice sunshine!"
I hissed angrily, "Don't underestimate Fairy Tail!" I yelled furiously.
I heard him chuckle at the distance.
I stood there frozen with confusion once I was sure he was gone. I stared at my burning hand. The warm tingling sensation still not going away.
"What's this feeling…?" I muttered softly still staring at my hand with confusion. "I can't like him….can I?" I wondered.
We finally get the much await encounter between Sting and Juneaux what did you think of their first encounter? Now I'm warning you now their relationship is going to develop a little quickly. The games aren't that long so I want them to at least have an understanding of their feelings for each other before the games are over.
Well until next time . Thanks again to everyone who has favorite, follow and reviewed! Means a lot!
