Chapter Two
The Offer
Two months later after the Joint Mission.
"How the fuck do I get myself into these messes?", an eighteen-year-old Romeo thought to himself as he was having a staring contest with the two girls in front of him, "And they always seem to involve women."
The one on the left of him, Juri he believed her name was, glaring a hole straight into his soul with her golden tilted eyes while lightning arcs off her body. She was slightly smaller than Romeo with six-packs abs, slightly muscled arms and legs, wearing an open yellow vest like his, except with binding around her busty chest. She had spiky dirty blonde hair on her head with a gold bandana wrapped around her forehead, with some loose yellow pants a little baggy to the untrained eye, but to Romeo who was experienced he could tell they give her freedom of movement, and she was donning simple sandals on her feet.
And to his right was Evlan who was leveling Romeo with an icy emotionless stare through her blue eyes. She stood around the same height as Juri with snow-white skin on her slender body. She was wearing a long dark blue cloak with a hood, with curly blue hair on her head that stretched just barely pass her neck. Romeo could see through her cloak to tell that she was busty herself underneath a closed five-buttons blue vest with a blue skirt and stockings underneath, and she finished it off with dark blue medieval shoes. And just like Juri, ice was swirling around her body.
"These girls seriously love their colors", Romeo thought, "It's pretty creepy."
For a moment Romeo looks away from them to see Totomaru-sensei having an argument with two breathtaking women who look to be around his age, while an elderly old man with green eyes dressed in nothing more than a long white hanfu with a long black beard was standing next to Master Makarov joining him in a laugh while both on them were watching the scene unfold.
The two women who Totomaru was arguing with were almost identical to the two girls he was having a staring contest with the long golden blonde one with ocean blue eyes with a bountiful figure looking like she was ready to punch his Rainbow Fire teacher who himself was about to unsheathe his sword in anger. While the equally long blue-haired woman with golden eyes and a breathtaking body looks ready to kill them both. Between the blue-haired woman who was dress in a simple sky blue kimono and the blonde who worn a golden qipao, Romeo was starting to see why Totomaru dressed the way he did.
"No time for that now", Romeo told himself as he turns back to the two girls, "Can't look like a bitch in front of these two."
And with that, he started to use his own fire magic to cast a red flame that encircled and engulf him.
"Thank goodness Nastu taught me this intimidation techniques a few years ago, it really comes in handy when I want people to back off of me", Romeo thought as he swore he saw both girls for a moment don a look of surprise before returning back to their previous expressions.
Suddenly a gust of wind explodes behind him almost sending him flying forward from the sheer force of it. As he turns to see what was producing it, an expression of sheer terror appears on his face.
For standing there in the middle of the guildhall with a mini-hurricane violently swirling around her was the Sky Dragon Slayer and his girlfriend Wendy Marvell, and she didn't look like she was in a good mood.
"I don't know who you think you are and quite frankly I don't give a damn!", She said in a low threatening voice, " But you're preventing my boyfriend and me from going out on our DATE!", she roared as she began to suck in an extremely large amount of air.
"Aw crap, this won't end well", Romeo says out loud as the memories of what brought him to this situation start to replay in his head.
Flashback to about 20 minutes ago
"Oh boy, that mission was exhausting", Romeo says as he lays his head down on one of the tables inside of the Fairy Tail's guild hall while Wendy rubs his back.
"There there Romeo, it's not like we were expecting the bandits to be harboring a high-ranking dark guild mage fugitive", she said.
"I know but still, that was a tough battle", Romeo remark, "If it wasn't for your magic we would have been done for. All I could do was distract them with mine."
"Your magic is strong too, ya know?" Wendy points out hoping to get Romeo out of the slump he been in every since they finish the job. He really takes it hard when people point out that she is the stronger one in their relationship, or when in fights and other situations she proves it.
"You don't have to lie for my sake, Wendy. I'm starting to think that Lindsay's comment about my magic being weak was dead on. ", Romeo moan in a depressed tone.
A twitch mark appears on Wendy's forehead at the mention of Wakaba's daughter who had share many childhood memories with Romeo, even before the Sky Dragon-Slayer joined the guild. Though both Romeo and Lindsay have claimed countless times that they were just good friends, the fact that they still sometimes go out on jobs together alone, without even telling her, (Lindsay joined Fairy Tail after the GMG, leaving behind Twilight Orge), hung out at each other houses, and even spend the night at said houses sometimes irked Wendy to no end. She tries to keep an open mind about their relationship (as previously mentioned, they both knew each other long before Wendy came along, and they spent seven years together when she was on Tenrou), but lately, her dragon possessiveness has been becoming more and more apparent, especially after the incident.
Gajeel says it natural for her to feel this way, especially at her age, and the fact that another woman is hanging out with her "property", as the Iron Dragon-Slayer had put it, is reason enough for it to happening so strongly. Good thing though Wendy hasn't told either him or Natsu or Laxus about what happened four months ago or the fact that she and Romeo were doing not-so-innocent things when they were out on jobs together or at Romeo's house alone. Let's not forget the fact that she had been wearing a large variety of perfumes ever since that day to mask his scent on her while Romeo has to wear magically strong cologne to cover up her smell on him.
Wendy was quite certain Romeo wouldn't live to see the next day if the word ever got out to the rest of the guild. But back to the matter at hand with Romeo and Lindsay relationship.
"I just wish she could take a hint and back off a little", Wendy tells herself, "Romeo is mine dammit, she had her chance. And how dare she say that Romeo's magic is weak. What nerve! Also, Chelia flirtatious behavior isn't helping things either. She's my best friend and all and I know she's looking for a man after Lyon married Meredy, but come on. And now I'm hearing rumors from Ezra who hearing them from Millianna that Beth is starting to find Romeo attractive. Damn it, we should have never accepted that joint job request with Mermaid Heel and Lamia Scale two months ago. I should have known something was going to happening after I caught both of them watching Romeo build us a campsite without a shirt on. I should have blown them both away at that very moment."
"I just wish Totomaru-sensei taught me a few more spells, that all. I can't go to Natsu, he too busy settling down with Lucy. Master Makarov has his hands full upholding his duties as a Wizard Saints and Guild Master to teach me anything, and my dad is either drunk or covering for Master Makarov to be of any help. I feel my fire magic will never progress the way things are going." Romeo said snapping Wendy out of her thoughts.
Wendy leans over and gives him a hug while resting her head on his shoulder, "Don't give up Romeo, I'm certain something will come along for you. Something that will help you strengthen your Fire magic abilities. I know, how about we go walking through the park? That always cheers you up."
Romeo's mood brightens up a little bit as he stands up, "That's not a bad idea. After that, we can go to the markets. You were looking at buying that new sundress won't you?"
"Ah yes! I think they're having a sale today at the store that selling it", Wendy glee as she stands up as well and they both start walking to the door.
"And Carla is still visiting her mom at the exceed's village so no one will be around to stop us from enjoying ourselves", Romeo happily tells himself.
BAM!
The doors of the guild hall go flying open, which was quite an accomplishment seeing how they were both large pure wooden doors, catching everyone's attention and causing a few members to take a battle stance out of pure reflex.
But a moment later everyone is staring in surprise at a dishevel Totomaru, who looks out of breath, standing in the doorway.
"Where's...Romeo?", he gasps out between breaths.
"Oi Totomaru, what the hell is wrong with you?!", Gajeel yells out from a table near the doors.
"Yes, Juvia-chan would like to know what is wrong as well?", the water mage asks.
"I need to see Romeo. Now!", he yells as he frantically searches the hall.
As his eyes fall upon the Rainbow Fire Mage, a mixed look of desperation and hope forms on his face as he disappears and reappears right in front of him placing both hands on his shoulders and screaming…
"I NEED YOUR HELP!", erupts Romeo's eardrums, along with everyone else within the guild hall, (include those with highly-sensitive hearing).
"What?"
"I need you to be my student once again!", Totomaru pleads.
"What are you talking about Totomaru-sensei? I graduate from your school years ago", Romeo states.
"No! None of that classroom stuff! I'm talking about an actual student, like Gajeel and his dragon", Totomaru says.
"Why this all of a sudden?", Romeo questioned clearly confuse on what going on right now.
"My old sensei, Master Yoso, who is the Grand Master Rainbow Element mage is coming into town. He's also bringing with him my two former training partners, Lei the master of Rainbow Lightning and Kori the master of Rainbow Ice, along with both of their pupils. He sent a magic letter ahead that just arrive thirty minutes ago saying how he has an important announcement to make to the three of us and he would like our prize pupils to be here as well when he makes it", Totomaru explains
"So why me?" Romeo asked, "There's over a dozen of other students who live in Magnolia and the surrounding areas who attended your class."
"Because I need someone who has actually use their Rainbow Fire magic for something other than lighting a fire and you were the only student to join a guild, therefore you must have to use your magic for a combat situation.", Totomaru elaborated, "And let's be frank you're the best student I had so far."
"Is that true Romeo?", Wendy whisper into his ear, "Were you really the best student he ever had?"
Romeo dons a nervous expression as he answers, "Well the other guys were nowhere close to my level of expertise when it came to casting. Someday I was so far ahead the rest of the class that he let me go home early. I guess learning Purple Flare Magic from my dad kinda helped though. I already had the basic knowledge of how fire magic works. I just had to apply it to Rainbow Fire."
"Romeo" Totomaru says as his attitude takes on a serious tone, "Both of my old training mates have only taken on a single pupil to pass on their knowledge to. When they found out about me teaching an entire class my magic style, it was safe to say they weren't happy about it. But I never taught a single student the full extent of Rainbow Fire magic. You and the others have only been taught the basics of it."
"What does that got to do with me?" Romeo asked.
Totomaru rubs the back of his neck with a nervous chuckle, "I might have mentioned to Master Yoso a few months back in a lacrima call that I had a student who I consider my protegee, particularly you. No doubt, he relayed this message to Kori and Lei as well."
"And you did this why?", Romeo asks, feeling a headache coming on.
"Master Yoso was the closest thing to a father figure I ever had, way more than Master Jose ever was. He took me out of the orphanage I was in and basically raised me. Even though he didn't show it, I could tell that he too was disappointed in the fact that I took up to teaching in a magic school instead of choosing a pupil. It just came out all of a sudden and there was no stopping it from there", Totomaru confesses.
By the time Totomaru finishes his story, Romeo was vigorously rubbing the temples on his head, "I'm starting to see how Master Makarov feels daily."
"Romeo Conbolt, if you help me and accept my offer on becoming my pupil just until my sensei leaves, I in return will teach you the full extent of Rainbow Fire magic. Every secret, every style, every flame will be at your disposal", Totomaru offered, "I just need you to act the part."
Romeo stands in shock for a moment as he tries to take in everything he just heard, but before he could respond a voice rings out at the entrance of the guild hall.
"HEY TOTO! WHERE THE HELL IS THIS PUPIL OF YOURS?! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW MUCH OF A LITTLE BITCH HE IS!"
A/N: Please Review, Fav, or Follow if you want. This was a first for me because Romeo and Wendy are already together in this one, it doesn't mean the other girls won't try something. Question though, should Lindsay just stay friends with Romeo, or should she try something?
