Irremediably Collateral and Supplemental.
The Boiling Point.
As bad as things looked at the time, and there was no denying that they looked fucking plenty bad, Hasegawa Chisame supposed there were a few upsides to her turns of fortune since she and Suzushiro Haruka had been dropped together in Mundus Magicus. First of all, they had found Kikukawa Yukino very quickly, which meant the Vice Prez had quickly stopped whining about missing her poor widdle hapless secretary. Additionally, Yukino had been staying with a guild of mages and convinced them not to deliver Haruka and Chisame to the law. Fortunately, while greedy as hell, the mages were also idiots, so they'd agreed on hiding the Mahora schoolgirls as they apparently had grown very fond of Kikukawa, for some reason Chisame couldn't fathom, over the last few months.
And best of all, they had hot baths almost as big as good as Mahora's. Almost. Currently, Chisame was soaking in the same large pool as the First Grandmaster of the Guild, a petite, angelic blonde with an ahoge and two tiny white wings on her hair, Mavis Vermillion. Chisame was still a bit weirded out around her, since Mavis was technically a ghost, but this was her house in every sense of the word, and Chisame prided herself in respecting her hosts no matter what, or how taxing it could get. Besides, Mavis had the sweet temper to match her looks, and getting angry at her was as impossible as growing furious at Yotsuba. It was like meeting the Anti-Evangeline! She was always terribly cute while doing things like stretching her arms up in the nude, sighing, "Ahhhh! Hot baths are just the best…!"
"Wow, Grandmaster," said Guild member Lucy Heartfilia from where she sat soaping herself before rinsing off. "So you actually can soak in the hot water? I didn't think that was possible…"
Mavis lost her wide smile, large adorable blue eyes blinking markedly.
"That's right…" commented Wendy Marvell, sitting by Lucy's side and scrubbing the back of her cat partner Carla. "Grandmaster is a spirit, so for her to have direct contact with tangible liquid, that's unusual… Ah! Miss Chisame, Miss Haruka once said you knew some ghosts, don't you?"
Chisame rasped uneasily. "W-Well, the ghosts I know can't even be seen or touch anything unless they're inhabiting a doll body, but what do I know about Mundus Magicus ghosts?"
Mavis lowered her head, biting her lower lip. "Mmm…"
Erza Scarlett walked closer to the water in all her naked Amazonian splendor, full of vigor and raw power, making Chisame flinch. The red-haired woman (and a natural redhead, that much was evident now) had too strong and potent an aura, unlike that of any other woman Chisame had ever met before, Evangeline included. It was a dominating, overwhelming presence Chisame didn't feel comfortable around. It made her weak in the knees and tied her stomach into knots, much like seeing Negi in his adult form.
In the next pool, Cana leaned loser to Mirajane and whispered, "She doesn't even realize she's got the hots for Erza that badly, does she?"
Mira shrugged with a gentle smile. "Let's not rush things over. It'll be much more amusing after we find the boy…"
"What's so strange about that?" Erza was smiling in that strong casual way of hers, a hand perched on a toned, bare hip as Chisame looked aside and sweated. W-What an unbearable woman to have around! "Even the dead should be able to enjoy a good bath!"
"That's just like Miss Erza's brand of common sense," Wendy murmured.
"Just ignore her…" Carla advised.
Mavis sank herself down into the water to her nose, much like Akira would often do while depressed. "I'm sorry… Actually, I like the environment, and the friendly atmosphere… but, as a matter of fact, I can't feel anything as I soak…"
"SAY WHAAA-AAAT?!" Erza gasped, her sensual eyes briefly turning comically round and large.
"As expected…!" Cana, Levy and Kiryuu Nanami sing-sang all at once.
Erza took a hand to her mouth, sniffing dramatically. "Oh…! Oh, no…! That's… That's so tragic! I had no idea!"
Mavis rose back, smiling at her. "Oh my, sorry, Miss Erza. That's okay, I still enjoy your company, that's the most important thing…"
"No, don't say that!" Erza said. "You aren't getting the full experience! You should… You should feel the warm water soothing you to your very essence…"
Then, abruptly, she grabbed Chisame's right foot and pulled up on it, making the girl shriek. Chisame's leg now exposed, Erza began rubbing it up and down vigorously, washing it over with a fiercely driven look in her eyes. "The delight of cleansing all impurities from yourself, like this…!"
"E-E-Erza-san, not that way…!" Chisame squealed, growing incredibly red.
"Not to mention," Erza added, moving in a flash behind Chisame and squeezing her breasts in her hands, "every now and then, a bit of friendly and healthy Skinship Grope between galpals!"
"…!-!" Chisame gasped, feeling her soul floating out of her body for a moment.
Mavis lowered her head again, shivering. "Uuuu… n-no, really, I'm alright like this…"
Erza fell to her hands and knees on the stone floor, almost sobbing the most feminine Manly Tears ever. "How can you say that…! Missing on the true experience of a hot bath, poor thing…!"
"I said it's, it's nothing!" Mavis struggled not to bawl. "I don't really mind…!"
"Great, now you've made the Master cry," Lucy told Erza.
"Who, me?!" the redhead gasped.
"And you made Miss Chisame all hot and bothered too!" Carla further accused.
"I am not!" Chisame cried, folding her arms before her chest to hide the hardness of her nipples.
"No, really, don't fret over that triviality," Mavis managed a sad little smile. "In truth, I can feel a little bit of the heat, it's not much, but…"
"You can?!" Erza grinned. "Then, that gives me an idea!"
"Oh-oh," Nanami gulped, beginning to towel herself dry quickly.
Erza stepped right before Mavis, turning her back on Chisame and giving the Earth girl such a direct, blatant view of her bare naked ass the schoolgirl outright cried. "We'll make Natsu use his fire to super-heat the water!" By this point Nanami was already running out of the bath, wrapped in a pink towel. "So you'll be able to enjoy your bath the way the gods intended!"
"Ooohhh!" Mavis cooed.
"Wait, no, what are you-!" Lucy protested.
"NATSU!" Erza called out.
"I-Idiot, don't call him right now!" Chisame yelled.
But a moment later, the confident, leanly muscular Natsu Dragnell strode calmly from the men's side into the female area, as naked as the day he'd been born and without even looking at the shrieking, fleeing forms of Evergreen, Lisanna, Levy and the Marvell duo passing him by. Chisame just choked in her saliva, eyes bugging out as Lucy screamed her feelings out for her. "DON'T JUST WALK IN LIKE THAT, MORON!"
"What's up, Erza?" the pink-haired Dragon Slayer asked as if nothing was happening at all.
Undeterred, unfazed, uncaring, not bothering to cover herself at all, Erza and Natsu walked to meet each other. The Titania leaned over to her childhood friend and whispered something into his ear. He lifted an eyebrow, but that was his whole reaction. "I see… So that's it?" he murmured, the rest of his non-expression unchanged. "No prob, can do!"
He walked over to the edge of the pool even as Chisame fled it quickly, running to hide behind a rock pillar with Cana and Mirajane, despite the fact both were smiling too much for Chisame's comfort. "So… basically, I'm going to duel the First Master? All right then."
Mavis remained where she sat, closing her eyes. "Please be gentle."
"Wha-What are they thinking?!" Lucy blushed, tying a towel around herself and rushing towards Chisame and the others. "What kind of upbringing did they have…"
"Um… Lucy?" Cana pointed out. "Don't look back so much and look where you are—"
"Kyaaaaa!" Lucy cried, her foot hitting on a bar of soap dropped, probably by Lisanna, and then sending her slipping backwards…
… and stumbling into Erza just as Natsu balled his fists up, wrapping them in fire…
… so busy channeling his magic he didn't even notice the two busty women dropping together into the pool…
… Chisame tried to scream a warning, only to feel a hand on her ass…
… just as Natsu shouted "HERE I GO!" at the top of his lungs…
… still ignoring Erza's cry of "Wait, you imbecile!" and Lucy's "Nooooo!"…
… bursting into flames razing all around him while he howled "FIRE DRAGON'S COOKING BATH!"…
And then, as Natsu slammed his fists into the water, the whole bath exploded into a huge maelstrom of fiery vapor, suffocating smoke…
"Oohhh, nice…!" Mavis cooed, her eyes very open, and her hands still on her knees but slowly drifting to go meet in the middle.
"Uh…!" Erza growled, rising defiantly among the smoke, her neck muscles tensing up, her whole athletic body straining in a way that stirred powerfully within Chisame's heart.
"IT BURNS, IT BURNS, IT BURNS, IT BURNSSSS USSS PRECIOUSSSSS!" Lucy wailed, hysterically kicking around. "I'LL DIE…!"
"HOOOOHHH!-!-!" was Natsu's mighty yell of release.
The water bubbled.
A subtle smile crept up Mavis' lightly blushing face. "Ahh…" she moaned. "That feels… so nice…"
"Ugh…! Hunh…!" Erza groaned in a way that only further confused and troubled Chisame.
"Ha—Help me…!" a mostly cooked Lucy whimpered.
Mavis slowly licked her lips all over. "Warm…"
The water kept on boiling.
Finally, Chisame slapped Cana, hard. "Enough of that, already!"
Cana's hand pulled back, the woman smiling widely. "This was all so hot…"
"Aaaahhh…!" Mavis sighed, deeply pleased. "I feel incredible! Finally, truly feeling like taking a bath after so long…!"
Natsu grinned cockily, doubled ahead, his hands on his knees. "As expected from the First Master, huh! You were a really tough opponent even if you didn't fight back, Ma'am!" he panted. "Damn, why do I feel like taking a cold shower now?"
Erza looked down between his legs. "I'm sure it wouldn't hurt."
"You nearly drained me this time," Natsu happily told Mavis, "but we definitely gotta do it again! I swear next time will be even better!"
Mavis beamed. "Looking forward to it, Mr. Natsu!"
"… a verrrry cold shower," Erza said, taking another look. "Ahem, anyway, congratulations, Guildmaster. I knew this would end up working!"
"Yes! Thank you very much, everyone!" Mavis giggled.
"Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!" Natsu laughed, fists on his hips. "Ghosts sure are hella strong!"
"Yeah… well… " a deeply tanned Lucy gurgled, wobbling on her feet. "'vrything turned out alrite, wight…? Ah-ha-ha…" she laughed stiffly.
Natsu blinked. "Oh, you were here too, Lucy? I hadn't noticed!"
"Just put on some fucking clothes on already, damn you!" Lucy shouted, tossing a hand basket on his head.
"You haven't put on any either," Cana pointed out. "Nor me, for that matter? Oops."
"This… This won't count as the first time I ever had sex, will it?" a very worried Chisame asked Mirajane. "I mean, I'm kinda saving myself for someone I, um, might meet in the future, not someone I have met yet, but…"
"Oh, you climaxed just from that?" Mira blinked. "You're a sensitive one, aren't you?"
"I did not, I am not!"
But at least it had been better than a Negimaru First Time, it must be said.
Finis.
