Kanji's POV

We had a big party after Lisanna came back. Scruff joined the guild and moved in with Erza and I, he sleeps on the floor in the guest room. Gramps told me it was going to be time to pick the S-Class candidates in a few days. But before that it was time for the guild annual Halloween party. Just so you know I can't stand Halloween but Erza loves it so I put up with it for her.

"I think we should do a couple's costume this year." She said one night at dinner.

"You know I'm not really crazy about this holiday."

"Come on it'll be fun." She smiled "We can go as Zombies, or Ninjas. I've got it we'll be Vampires!"

"I guess." I said continuing to eat my meal "It's simple enough."

"We'll need fangs and we can wear red; we need capes too."

"Just get stuff that matches your hair." I told her "Don't want it to clash with your beautiful hair."

"Just leave it to me." She said "I'll get us great costumes."

"What is this Halloween?" Scruff asked.

"It's a holiday when you can be anything you want!" Erza told him.

"It's an excuse to not be yourself." I added.

"Kanji doesn't like Halloween very much." Erza said "But I'm not sure why?"

"When your older brother does nothing but scare you every year during your childhood you grow to resent it."

"Am I supposed to get a costume as well Miss Erza?"

"I told you just call me Erza. Don't worry I'll pick you up something cute."

LATER

Erza wasted no time going shopping the next day. She picked me up a blood red dress shirt with a low v neck. She also got me dark black slacks. For Scruff she bought a pirate hat and a fake hook.

"So you're gonna be a pirate." I said.

"It seems so."

Erza wouldn't show me her part of the costume and said she wanted me to be surprised on Halloween.

"Are you coming to the party?" Gray asked one day at the guild.

"Yeah you know how Erza is about Halloween. You gonna waste your money on a costume again?"

"What do you mean waste money?"

"Well just like last year you'll show up in costume and be half naked five minutes later." I shrugged.

"That is not true!"

"Gray-sama you're shirt!" Juvia yelled handing him his clothes.

"I already decided I was going to be Peter Pan." He said "I already brought my costume"

"Then Juvia will go as Wendy! Juvia must hurry to the store!"

"She brought it." Gray said walking away "I'm actually going as scientist."

I got up and went over to the bar "Hey Mira."

"Hello. Your favorite holiday is coming up." She joked.

"Yeah I'm thrilled. You have a costume yet?"

"I do, but it's a secret." She said.

"Is it that special?"

"It's special alright." She said pouring me a drink "I think everyone has a costume at this point I mean the party is tomorrow."

"Have you thought of your short list of S-Class suggestions?"

"Yeah I have a few, not that it matters Master is the one who makes the final decision."

"Yeah, this is my fourth time choosing people to try. I mean Mystogan won last year and you the year before that. Erza before you and me before her."

"The exam will be a little thinner this year without Laxus and Mystogan around to provide a hand, not that they were the most helpful people."

"Yeah well I'll see you around Mira…Hey have you talked to Erza about your problem yet?"

"No…"

"Come on Mira the weddings in a few weeks, solve your problem and take Erza dress shopping."

"No need to be so rude about it." Mira said.

"I'm serious Mira, talk to her."

"I will."

"The party is Friday. If you don't talk to her by the end of the weekend I'll sit you two down and make you talk." I said sternly "Okay Mira."

"I understand I'll make sure I find some time."

"I don't mean to sound harsh Mira; I just need Erza to know that her Maid of Honor feels that way."

"I know. I'll go now"

Mira got out from behind the bar and headed out of the guild.

Erza's POV

I was at home waiting for Kanji to get home when there was a knock at the door.

Who could that be?

I opened the door and Mira was there.

"Hi Mira."

"Can I come in?"

"Please." I said.

Mira came in and took a seat at the table "Erza I think we need to talk."

She sounds serious

"Oaky Mira." I said taking a seat on the other side "What's up?"

"Erza I can't be your Maid of Honor." She said quickly.

What?

"Why not?" I asked confused.

"Erza…I…I'm still in love with Kanji."

"Oh…I'm not really sure how to respond."

This isn't happening.

"Erza it wouldn't be right if I stood by your side while feeling like that."

"I understand…I guess we'll have to move the wedding back a bit." I said "I think maybe a few more mouths."

"Erza don't do that because of me. This is why I didn't want to tell you."

"This isn't your fault Mira. I still have so much to do in the few weeks till the date. The Wedding is less than a month away and I haven't even gotten a dress yet. Hell Kanji doesn't even have a best man. I think it'll be for the best if we move it back. Maybe that will give you some more time to think and change your mind."

"Erza…I'm sorry. I didn't want to have this happen, but I can't deny the way I feel. I thought I had moved on but they just came back all the sudden."

"It's fine Mira. We knew you used to feel that way. I guess none of us thought those felling would come back."

"Well I should go Erza." Mira said pushing in her chair "I have to finish my costume for tomorrow. I really am sorry."

"I understand Mira. I'm just glad you told me."

"Yeah me too." She said going to the door "I'm just glad Kanji will be off my back now."

Off her back?

"What do you mean Mira?"

"I told Kanji what was wrong the other night. He's the one that told me to talk to you."

So he knew and didn't say anything.

Kanji's POV

I unlocked the door and hung my coat up. I walked into the living room and Erza was in the chair and didn't look happy.

"Something wrong babe?"

"Mira just left a few minutes ago. She said she can't be my Maid of Honor."

"Oh she talked to you about that, that's good." I said taking a seat.

"So you did know." She said looking down "Why didn't you say anything to me?"

"I thought that was something you need to hear from her."

"When did you find out?"

"When we got back from that Nirvana mission."

"That was the night Mira stayed at our house." She said "You knew and you let her stay here!"

I was surprised at Erza's reaction "I didn't think it was that big of a deal."

"What happened while I was asleep?"

"Nothing." I said.

"Really?" she said "Because last time I wasn't around and the two of you were alone I found her kissing you."

"Erza nothing happened I swear I would never do that to you."

"Uh huh" Erza got up and walked to the bedroom "I moved the wedding back so that I can find a new Maid and a dress."

"Okay."

I got up to go to bed and Erza slammed the bedroom door in my face.

Alright I get the hint.

I walked over and pulled the blanket off the couch.

LATER

I woke up rather uncomfortably the next morning. I got up and walked to the bedroom and knocked.

"Erza are you there? Can we talk?"

The door opened slightly and I saw Erza's eye. I immediately had a flashback to the day years ago when Mira kissed me. The door was slightly ajar and Erza's eyes were red.

"What?" she said angrily.

"Talk to me. Please."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought it was fine to let Mira do it. You know I don't feel that way about her Erza."

Erza opened up the door and hugged me and started crying.

"Erza why are you crying?"

"I wanted Mira!" she said "I didn't want to have someone else."

"It's alright. Mira will come around trust me. We can wait all the time in the world."

Erza wiped her eyes off "I'm sorry about last night."

"I don't mind."

"You two being sappy again?"

"Beat it cat!" Erza yelled.

Erza looked into my eyes "I want Mira to be by Maid of Honor but I won't lose you to her."

LATER

As the day passed the time for the party came. I got dressed in the costume Erza had brought me. I put the fake fangs in my mouth and decided to put my best foot forward to make Erza feel better.

"Are you ready?" she said peaking her head out of the door.

"I'm all set. Scruff already left so let's see your costume." I said.

Erza stepped out of the bedroom in a bright red leather corset, fake bat wings, and skirt. She had fangs in her mouth and a flowing black cape on as well.

"You look amazing." I said walking up and taking her hand "Shall we, my vampire bride?"

"Let's shall."

Erza and I headed to the guild arm in arm. When I got there everyone was in costume. Gray had showed up as a scientist and Juvia was a doctor much to his displeasure. Natsu was in the same outfit he wore when we left Edolas; Lucy was in her maid outfit even Happy was dressed up as a knight.

Erza and I mingled for a while when someone tapped my on the shoulder.

"Hi." I turned to see Mira in her costume.

It wasn't much more they a pair of angel wings and a thin robe. The white sheet only covered one leg and was very low cut.

"Hey Mira."

Erza turned around "Mira."

"I like your costumes." Mira said "You're vampires right."

"Yes." Erza told her "Kanji is the Lord of the Night and I'm his bride. What are you?"

She has that look in her eyes. The old rivalry is flaring up and I'm caught in the middle again.

"I'm a beautiful angel." Mira said "I thought it play off my magic well."

"Well don't you ladies look pretty." Gramps said walking up not in any kind of costume.

"Hey old man where's your Halloween spirit?"

"I've been busy so I just came as a retired version of myself."

"How original." Erza said.

"Have fun tonight but don't forget that we have the planning meeting for the S-Class Exam in the morning. It gonna be an all day long thing so bring lunch."

"Yeah see you in the morning."

"Kanji dance with me!" Mira said pulling my arm.

"I'm his fiancée he's going to dance with me!" Erza said pulling my other arm.

"Girls please, you're gonna tear me in two."

"Dance with me!" they both said pulling me onto the floor and throwing me around.

These two are gonna kill me!
