Author's Note/Disclaimer: I own nothing. Fairy Tail belongs to its writer and so do the characters. I'm merely making a fanfiction like almost everyone on here does. Hello everyone here is the Fourth Chapter of Written in Blood. I hope you enjoy it. Questions and explanations at the end of chapter!

A Birthday Growl

"Fucking hell, Erza! Why do you have to be so god damn picky about everything!" Came a low snarl as Erza was being tailored into her suit for her party. She stood still as her tailor was making work of her suit or well outfit for tonight.

" Gajeel please calm down." Erza replied calmly as the new Metal Master was throwing a small hissy fit because she needed the right sword to pull of her outfit tonight for her birthday party. Erza didn't know why but she had a feeling something big was going to happen tonight during her party. She was nervous, tonight Mirajane would be the guest of honor at her party. She wanted to impress the white haired beauty and hopefully win favor with her. What Erza didn't know was that the agreement of peace her parents made all these years ago would finally be put into place. She felt a tightness in her chest as her anxiety was building. Now Gajeel being well Gajeel wasn't helping her nerves at all. However Erza knew how to handle him. He did this every time she ordered new weapons from the DemonTail Master of Metal.

"Calm down? You want me to calm down? I can't calm down! You want me to finish a sword tonight that's not due till next week! Why can't you use one of the other well crafted swords I've made for you?" Gajeel huffed irritatedly and loudly to annoy or frustrate Erza even more. He can finish the sword actually in a hour or more but he loves when the wild vixen fights back or argues with him. So pestering her for no reason was his favorite hobby in the world. He heard her sigh and saw a frown in the mirror she was standing in front of. Gajeel grinned at the fact he was causing more discomfort and hoped she would start an arguement with him. However he would be sorely disappointed because Erza knew of this little hobby he created to get her to fight or argue back.

"Gajeel I really need that sword tonight but if you can't finish it. Just bring me my father's best rapier." Erza said calmly trying to compensate with Gajeel or trick him into finishing it. Gajeel grinned because he thoroughly believed he got his way until she softly commented, " I guess that sword design was just too hard for the powerful metal bender. Master of metal that can't even finish a sword. Even though he fixed the broken destroyed forge in a fortnight, record time. What a pity really. Anyways just bring me the rapier, Metalicana Redfox, had made for my father." Gajeel bristled at that the name that was mentioned. He growled and got worked up over thinking that this scarlet haired vixen thought he couldn't finish her sword and wanted a sword that the bastard of an abandoner had made.

"I'll fucking finish the damn thing before tonight and you will regret every fucking word you just said, you wait red!" Gajeel growled accepting the challenge he was trying to get out of earlier. No, this was personal now. Also that his pride and honor were all at stake now. He would create a sword that Erza will drool over. Best craftsmanship he's ever done. Even better than his bastard of a father that disappeared had. Gajeel would be even better than Metalicana Redfox had been as the Metal Master title. Gajeel turned and started to leave not noticing the smirk on Erza's face as he rushed off to make her in his words 'regret every fucking word you just said, you wait red'. This made Erza slightly excited even though she didn't show it. Gajeel has always impressed her with his craftsmanship. Her anxiety disappeared slightly as she thought of sword designs.

Soon after there was a slight girlish giggle from her personal designer that was forgotten as she was being tailored. She glanced over at the women sitting in the chair reading a magazine. Erza's designer was actually on the front cover. She had beautiful blonde long hair that was done up. She had crystalline blue eyes that even Erza would admit she got lost in sometimes when they had conversations. She had spot on everything and could be considered every mans wet dream or dream girl. Her makeup was always done perfectly, eyebrows on point, clothing showing off her athletic body and every face she made was perfect. Jenny Realight, was this beautiful young lady's name. Jenny, other than being a personal stylist for Erza, was a model for the Blue Pegasus Magazine. Blue Pegasus was the hottest Magazine out there. All the gossip was juicy and the tips of fashion and beauty was and still is the best and trendiest. Jenny Realight made the magazine even more popular. She was classy and mature. All age groups respected her and saw her as one of the country's most beloved celebrity idol out there other then the royal families and peace keeper.

Erza could understand why this supermodel was her personal designer. She help Erza look stunning and sometimes Erza was featured with Jenny in Blue Pegasus. Of course it was mostly as Jenny's way to stay the top model in the world and she thrived on it. In all honesty almost everyone in Fairy Wings were hoping that Jenny would get a higher status with her charm and beauty. Some of the people in her fan base shipped Jenny with the scarlet haired crown princess. There were even huge print spreads of the Valentine and Christmas modeling pictures Erza had helped Jenny in. The fan base increased in hopes that they would become a power couple in the near future. However Erza knew none of this but Jenny thrived on it. Jenny eyed Erza a bit without the princess noticing a trade she learned quickly after starting to work for the royal family. When Erza looked at her fully, Jenny smiled at her making the Princess slightly blush.

"What a immature young man Gajeel still is," Jenny commented saving Erza's pride by not asking about her blush ,"You'd think he'd learn from all the times you've used that trick on him, I guess metalheads don't learn after all."

"He's still maturing, sooner or later he will figure it out and I'll have to use another way to get him to do his job." Erza said with a smile as her tailor was finishing up. Erza looked at herself in the mirror and slightly groaned. This made Jenny perk up and look Erza over again as she got up from her seat. Magazine soon forgotten as Jenny started to eyeing the princess more and licked her lips without anyone noticing.

"Remind me, why do I look like a Prince from a fairy tale story?" Erza said sighing as she turned and examined the outfit in the full body mirror. Erza was dressed in a golden long sleeved tunic with red tribal designs on it and black cuffs. A black belt around her waist with white tights, showing off her toned legs, underneath the tunic and belt. She was wearing long black boots with white tribal patterns. She was also wearing a dark forest green cape. Her hair was in a tall ponytail and she had her long side bangs giving her a charming appearance. In all honestly she could very well pass as a young male or a copy of her father when he was younger.

"Well your highness, your party is a masquerade party after all and it fits you. I have to admit you look rather dashing and sexy in that outfit." Jenny said smoothly and a bit lowly at the end comment as she was now walking behind Erza and examining her from all over. One could say she looked like she was stalking her prey. Erza grinned at the completement and didn't see when Jenny licked her lips when she examined her or the lust in Jenny's eyes.

Jenny wouldn't lie, Erza was eye candy and she would literally devour her is she could. It was a no brainer that Erza was gawked at by mostly everyone. Jenny has fantasized tasting Erza's sweet lips or going on a date with the fiery vixen. After seeing Erza fight that demon and survive made her lust for the countries next ruler soar much more. Also her modeling career would stay intact as top model in Fiore if she was even seen kissing the scarlet haired wet dream. Jenny was selfish and she knew it but she liked being on top. Jenny touched Erza's strong shoulder and felt the muscles on her arms as if she was inspecting the fabric. Feeling Erza's toned well sculpted arms made her mind think of all the muscles Erza had and where. This made Jenny want to shudder but she resisted. She soon picked off some loose strands of red hair on the tunic while smiling in the mirror at Erza to help her relax. She was returned with a charming polite smile which made Jenny's heart beat a little faster. Jenny took a leap of faith even though she knew already she knew, Erza would accept.

"Your Highness, might I have the honor of escorting you to the masquerade tonight?" Jenny asked smoothly behind Erza. Erza smiled not thinking anything of it, other then it will help her stylist career more. So she nodded happily to abide in helping her stylist gain more points in popularity. Jenny smiled wider as if she just caught a grand prize. So much more advantages being Erza's personal stylist and this beauty can't wait to reap more advantages of it.

Dresses of all colors and types were spread out on the floor carelessly. Sighing as another dropped to the floor. Failure. It was like a war zone of disregarded dresses. It wasn't right, none of them were perfect. Wait. Why does it matter if they are perfect? Who is she trying to impress? It certainly wasn't for this country's princess. No, it has to be for the magazine that attending the event. She has to make a good impression. She wants a side career and to knock Jenny Realight of off her pedestal. Ugh, how she loaths Jenny. They have meet once and Jenny was all over her brother. It pissed her off as she flipped her hair over her shoulder as she stared at her clothing she brought with her. There was a knock at the door and with a careless come in the door opened softly.

"Princess, your mother gave me this dress she wants you to wear tonight." came a softly spoken voice. By it alone Mirajane knew who it was, she smiled and turned hugging the younger girl to her. This caused the bluenette to squeak and blush.

"Levy! what are you doing here? I thought you were staying in DemonTail!" Mirajane said excitedly but very confused. Levy blushed and hugged Mirajane back. This caused them both to smile. Just like Erza had Lucy. Levy was Mirajane's hand maid and best friend. She was dressed in a yellow sundress with a white head band. Levy was born in the castle she was practically another child to Manasa and Saber. A sister was daughter to the DemonTail family. Thus the dress Levy brought in was discarded and forgotten for the moment.

"I was summoned to keep you company and I heard their library here was incredible and I wanted to check it out." Levy said blushing. Mirajane grinned because she knew her best friend was a whore when it came to books and knowledge. Levy was incredible smart and actually helped Mirajane with strategy and learning reports.

"Well then we will just have to check it out! Also because you're here. You're coming to the party tonight with me. No argument! Don't try to fight me on it. You're coming with me, I need my best friend with me." Mirajane said and hugged Levy closer. Levy sighed and nodded to comply to her best friends wish. She was then struck by a question that she heard a rumor spreading around the kingdom.

"Princess, if I may be so bold," levy started with a lace of concern in her voice, " is it true you're going after Laxus?"

"I find him intriguing. So maybe, who knows he maybe my other half. I hear he's very powerful." Mirajane said pulling back from Levy to see the weary look in her eyes.

"Princess, please be careful. He's power hungry. I don't trust him" Levy said softly and looked down. Levy assumed Mirajane would get upset or get angry but nothing happened. She felt a warm hand touch her face and tilt her face upwards to stare into the crystalline iris. She automatically felt comfort from the touch and look of confidence of her princess.

"I'm just interested to see if he will either bring war or peace. If he is planning to overthrow my family or the Scarlets." Mirajane said gently and released her best friends face. Levy nodded and smiled happily as she remembered the black dress in her hands. She laid it carefully on the bed.

"Well then I'll be on my way, I need to go check out the knowledge this place holds. I will be back later Princess." Levy said with a bow and exited the room. Mirajane was left with a smile before a certain black dress beckoned her near.

She sauntered over to it and her eyes got a bit dilated as she saw the dress her mother want her to wear. A blush covered her face as she scowled.

"Hell must be frozen over, because there is no fucking way she's letting me wear this."

The room was colossal and had a vast amount of books everywhere. The smelt of mahogany and paper that made the atmosphere comforting. The room held many floors filled with the brim of different kinds of books and magical journals stacked upon stacks. There were winding staircases throughout the room, ways to get to each floor. You could spend your entire life in this Library and never read every book. Thus this being said, it's a wonderland for students and knowledge craved people. Curious chocolate brown eyes looked around the library in awe. Levy was amazed and excited. She heard rumors about the Fairy Wings Library,Veda.

She never thought in her life time she'd actually here standing and looking at the golden statue of Marvis. Marvis the Hope bringer. She heard rumors about that if you ever get to lay your eyes on it you will have incredible luck. She squealed which she was soon shushed by an elder lady that smiled at her. Levy blushed embarrassed before scattering off between the columns of books and journals. She was soon stopped when she hit a row that had the tile 'Fan Fiction' on it. Her slender, thin, blue eyebrow rose as she reached for a book titled "Fire and Metal". Her hand soon collided with another slender hand that was pale. She jumped back and looked at who she touched on accident. It was a young women with blonde hair done up. Her outfit was the school uniform here in Fairy Wings. The girl smiled at Levy and offered her hand.

"Hi, I'm Lucy Heartfilia. Your Levy McGarden, right?" She asked Levy softly and calm. Levy was slightly shocked she knew her name. She slightly blushed and shook the young ladies hand.

"I am. Um, how do you know who I am?" Levy asked a bit nervously even though she smiled.

"Oh, I'm the personal maid to the crown princess. King Alexander wanted all the staff of the kingdom to read up on everyone. I'm sorry if I scared you." Lucy said apologizing but kept her smile nonetheless. This caused Levy's eye's to go big and gasp.

"Wait you get to be around the Crown Princess all the time? What is she like? Does she have a perfect body? Is she like what everyone says of her? Is she a heartbreaker? Is it true she's engaged to Lord Jella? Is she sexy like in those magazines? Can she se-" Lucy covered Levy's mouth to stop her. From one being to loud and two bombarding her with fangirl questions.

"Yes I am around Erza all the time. Erza is probably the most kind and caring person you'll ever meet, She's strong and selfless. She has a wonderful body and its well built. She's more than what people say she is. She's never dated anyone and if she did 'break' someone's heart, she probably didn't mean to. No she's not engaged to that pompous asshole thankful. She's sexy when she tries to be. Now before I uncover your mouth please take one question at a time." Lucy told Levy with a smile. Levy nodded enthusiastically.

It has been a few hours and two have conversated about a variety of different topics. They learned a lot about each other. Both could honestly say that they have just made a great friendship. They had many topics that are similar or the same. They both strangely had a thing for fan fiction and shipping. They had debates and even a few laughs. When it came to the end to their fun before helping get ready for the party tonight. They had to go help prepare and even get ready also for the special night. However one conversation that caught both their attention. Jenny Realight, Both hand maids hated Jenny. They have seen what Jenny really is and even Lucy feared she was after Erza. Oh, how right they both where. When they both left, they promised to meet up during the party. After the promise they hugged and hurried of to their Princess's rescue from their mothers. Knowing the Queens are going to bug the heirs of the two kingdoms, if they aren't already. That caused them to sprint down separate hallways quicker.

The air was chilly with an icy bite every now and again. Not really surprising weather for someone to walk in during this time of year. Nor would it be for the thundering of hooves of frost reindeer pulling a frozen like carriage. However who was inside was the unusual part. There was a young man wearing a snowy white captain of the guard outfit with a cape. His hair was a dark shade of indigo blue almost black hair. He wore a black mask to go with his outfit. Across from him was a young lady. Chocolate brown hair in ringlets that cascaded down her back and shoulders. She wore a pure white cocktail dress that showed of her stomach and mid back. She also wore a mask but white with a stick to hold. She stared at the man across from her.

"Are you positive I must go to this party? What is it even for?" She young lady asked in a clip like tone. The young man sighed sounding irritated.

"Yes you have to go your highness. It's the crown heir of Fairy Wings birthday. You must attended to represent the Ice kingdom, Deuel." He said in a professional tone. The young lady's eyebrow rose and a cheshire like grin crossed her beautiful features.

"You mean it's Erza Scarlets Birthday? The one that stopped multiple wars alone and killed an S-Class Demon yesterday?" She asked as if knowing the answer already.

"Yes your Highness. Also I don't recommend trying anything with her. Rumor has it she's after the heart of another." He told her to remind her. She rolled her eyes and sighs.

"Gray you're a kill joy sometimes. Also I know but it's fun to look and touch." She stated as a matter of fact with a smirk at him. Gray groaned and held his head.

"Ultear, you know you can't do that. Our kingdom needs their alliance and to make it stronger. Not only that your betrothed is also attending tonight Princess." He said staring at her dead serious with an irritated look. Ultear's smirk disappeared with a scowl of disgusted.

"I hope you truly know that I hate you Gray, you're such a kill joy." Ultear said with a cheery tone.

"Well you know it's just to spite you. Not like it's my fucking job to keep you on task or safe." Gray shot back at her with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Yes, because I'm such a weak pitiful rose right?" She commented back in a 'oh woe is me' tone. Gray grunted at the tone.

"No, It's because you have a responsibility and I'll be damned that you keep it." He stated as a matter of fact. This made Ultear smile before commenting.

"Then I guess you're going to see Zeref then soon then aren't you? Tell him, I said hello!" She said happily.

"You know what Ultear, you can tell him yourself because I'll drag you down with me." Gray shot back and smirked at Ultear, which she then scowled at him.

"Well aren't you a ladies man. I bet you're still a -" Ultear started up trying to piss off the captain her guards.

"Ultear…" Gray growled to say something he would regret but before he could, he started hearing sweet music over the devil's voice he swears is Ultear.

"Big-" She continue using her hands for animation.

"We are getting close to the party" Gray kept cutting her off as he stared out the carriage.

"Virg- oh are we now?" Ultear asked with her head tilted. Saving an ounce of Gray's pride from the horrifying fact that Gray is a male virgin.

Together they stared at the Kingdom's Capital where the party would be held. All around people were partying in masks. It amazed the two from Deuel. They have never seen a whole country celebrating unless it was tradition or a national holiday. Ultear's eyes sparkled in amazement and wonder like a child would seeing snow the first time. She stared at the lights in the city and the music all around. People being happy and joyful as if nothing were wrong in the world. 'Do they really feel so attached to their next ruler? Is she really that amazing? Who is the women that fights like a man but a heart of a young lady?' Ultear's mind wondered with a nagging curiosity. Yes, she has seen pictures of the ruler and the calendar she was featured in. To say the least, Ultear could testify that everyone in Deuel found the princess either attractive or a myth. Now here she was going to be attending the same School as the to 'perfect' princess. She was excited but also planning to see if she can find out everything about the princess. She would be a legend if she could find anything wrong with her. However, there was a flaw in how she wanted to get close to the princess. Ultear has read tabloids about Erza's stylist and knew she would be trouble. Rumors have it that Jenny Realight is always around Erza if she isn't modeling. This could be annoying. There is also the fact that Mirajane was also in the castle. Mirajane Strauss, the holder of Erza's heart and she had no memory of it. Queen Ul, was close to the two rulers of Demon Tail and Fairy Wings. So Ultear always caught up on important information. Soon there was a happy sigh which brought Ultear back out of her ahead. She glanced at a smiling Gray with a eyebrow raised.

"What's with that dopey smile," She started to ask the smiled wickedly while saying," Having a wet day dream?"

"No, actually I was happy to see you excited for once instead of looking murderously bored." Gray retorted with a frown. Ultear could really be a pain in his ass sometimes when he's trying to be a good guard. Ultear immediately noticed that Gray was upset. Unless you knew the two they had a strange friendship and relationship. Ultear grew up with Gray. Gray was literally her baby brother thus why she picks on him all time because he's in charge of her.

'Gray you know I'm joking. I'm sorry if I took it to far." She said softly and laid her hand on his shoulder. Gray sighed and smiled at Ultear a bit.

"It's okay, let's just make a good impression and get this party over with. I'm behind you one hundred percent your highness." He said calmly as the horse drawn carriage came to a stop in front of the castle. Ultear smiled back and nodded to her most trusted friend as the door opened for her and Gray to step out. Gray went out first and offered his hand to help Ultear down. He escorted her into the ballroom where they were announcing royalty. Gray felt like something big was going to happen tonight with how many royals were attending and seeing the peacekeeper sipping some pure fairy fire. Gray cringed at the thought of all the fairy fire that was consumed so far by the small man. Fairy Fire, brewed in fairy wings and was one of the most alcoholic drinks there. The only other brand that could compete with fairy fire was demon venom. Both would make the drinker so drunk that it they would start mumbling and possibly throwing up if drank too much. Gray was looking forward to see the peacekeeper wasted. He knew his suspicion of something big was going to happen, it's not everyday you'll get to see the most respected man drink out of nervousness.

-666666666666-

She felt sick. Mirajane Strauss, has never felt sick and nervous but here she was standing in a mirror scared. Why? Her dress was perfect so was her hair and makeup. Her dress was silk black that hugged all of her curves but also showed her cleavage and lower back. The dress hit her mid thigh and she wore black heels as well. She had smokey makeup on to really let people see her beautiful cerulean eyes and scarlet lips. Her mask was black with pure white designs on it. When she bought it she was told only two in the world were ever created. The mask was rare and made her outfit. Her hair was down and curled a bit to show how luscious and thick it was. She looked hot and wild. However this she demon was acting as nervous as a baby imp. She felt like throwing up and didn't know why. Who was she trying to impress? Mirajane wondered before she saw images of scarlet hair, greyish brown eyes and a perfect smile. Erza Scarlet flooded her mind and she snarled in anger. She wasn't a lesbian. She wanted a man. Someone to give her kingdom an heir. However that smile Erza gave her in the hospital room soothed her before she dismissed it and thought about the bad boy of Fairy Wings and her nervousness disappeared. She sighed and composed herself. Just in time as her mother waltzed through her room she was staying in while here. This always ticked Mira off and she knew Manasa loved doing it just to spite her.

"Are you ready my fierce little flower? It's show time!" Manasa said in her masked that literally resembled a demon queen. She smiled sincerely at Mira and hugged her close. Mira sighed and hugged her mother back sighing. She decided to tell her mother that she was nervous as she could hear her mother's calming heartbeat. Manasa held her first born to her. Sensing the fear that was in her daughter's body. She rubbed circles on her back trying to calm her.

"Mom, I'm really nervous and I don't know why."

"I know, It's okay Mirajane. Everything will be alright. Trust me." Manasa spoke soothingly. Mirajane nodded and sighed softly before pulling away.

Mirajane told her mother she was ready. Manasa walked out of the room with her daugher and they headed to the ballroom. The walk was silent and when they got to the double doors with the guards ready to open at command. Mirajane gulped and even though she didn't think it was that loud her mother hugged her one more time for support. Mirajane didn't know why but she could also sense nervousness from her. Manasa was never nervous and this almost caused Mirajane to go into another panic mode.

However Manasa kissed her daughter's head and gave her another comforting back rub. This made Mirajane calm and she started to wonder if Erza was nervous when she fought that demon. The thought that she could face an S-class demon and not show any emotion of being scared. She looked so determined and it literally pissed Mirajane off. This gave her the courage and determination to through off Erza and show her up. However she didn't know that tonight was her and Erza's arranged marriage announcement. Truly tonight was going to be a night to remember and all over the news.

Mirajane straightened herself to perfect posture and nodded to the guards looking fierce but sexy to the point that the guards were blushing and avoiding looking at her. She smiled once at her mother before saying with a commanding smooth voice, "Open the Doors."

The masquerade was something truly wonderful to see and witness. Couples dancing the night away on the floor. Others drinking Fairy Fire and Demon Venom. However many were content on watching their next ruler dance with their most beloved model. Erza kept her promise and escorted Jenny to her party. However while they were dancing Erza was looking around for someone else discretely. If anyone was paying attention to Erza they couldn't tell she was looking for someone else. However Jenny knew but ignored it. Jenny purposely wore a white and blue dress to look like the princess to Erza's princely outfit. Both looked stunning and many pictures were taken for spreads and the magazine. Jenny purposely got close to Erza on purpose and laid her head on Erza's strong shoulder as they waltzed.

Now Jenny wasn't the only one that knew Erza was looking for someone else. Lucy watched from a table she was currently seated at keeping an eye on 'Miss Handys' as she was sipping a bit of fairy fire. She was so focused on her best friend and the modeling whore that as trying to be cuddly and get more fans. Lucy didn't see the hand that touched her shoulder that made her jump. She glanced to the owner of the hand and smiled at the bluenette that touched her shoulder.

"Levy! Damn girl you look great!" Lucy said a bit differently than she usually does. Levy laughed at her new friends words and reached taking the fairy fire out of her hands. Knowing everly well that Lucy shouldn't get drunk. At least not at this moment. Levy sat right next to Lucy and hugged her.

"Hey you, don't look to bad yourself there. What are you doing over here all alone?" Levy asked concerned that Lucy was sitting alone and looking rather salty. Lucy gave a cringed look and nodded to the couple on the floor. Levy looked over and glared.

" Making sure Miss Perfect Bitch keeps her hands to herself." Lucy said like it was the normal. Levy nodded in agreement before watching with Lucy. Levy has never liked Jenny and now seeing that all the rumors about her trying to get into Erza's pants was true she was slightly pissed.

Now before Levy could comment and fully agree with the slightly tipsy Lucy. The doors to the top of the staircase slammed open and caused everyone to stop and stare up at the top. Mouths dropped as Mirajane walked through the doors. Everyone stopped and stared. However only one body was making its way to the stairs. Erza walked ever so rushed but swiftly to the staircase as if her body just moved her. Not even did Jenny know that she moved. Erza looked up at Mirajane and their eyes met. Erza lifted her hand to Mirajane as is custom for the guest of honor. Mirajane smiled at the noble gesture and slowly extended the staircase. Never breaking eye contact with Erza.

When Mirajane reached the bottom of the stairs she took Erza's hands and was escorted to the dance floor. Everyone cleared the floor for the two as if under a spell. When they met in the middle. Erza smiled at Mirajane and leaned in whispering. "All eyes are on you, Zeref you look stunning. May I have this dance?"

Mirajane and smiled and stared in Erza's eyes before she noticed Erza had the other Mask to the set. She smile grew as her competitive nature got the best of her. She smiled sultry at Erza, which was making her blush and said, "Only if you can keep up."

Mirajane nodded at the band with a knowing look and gulp the musicians knew exactly what kind of music that was wanted for these two vixens. The Tango, if Erza couldn't keep up with Mirajane then she wasn't worthy to dance or approach her again. Erza grinned when she heard the music and mirrored Mirajane's movements. Mirajane's eyes widen when Erza was at the perfect pace with Mirajane. What impressed Mirajane more was that Erza knew the man's part of the tango perfectly. There was also the fact that when Mirajane would switch up some of the dance just to see. Erza adapted quickly and fit Mirajane's movement. All eyes were on them as they danced with such passion and ferocity as they did on the battlefield. Soon Mirajane didn't notice that it was Erza leading her in the dance. It was as if Erza was meant to lead Mirajane around the ballroom. Erza even matched Mirajane when she slide up Erza's front. Mirajane wouldn't admit it out loud but Erza felt good to rub up against and be lifted and spinned perfectly. Or tossed and actually caught in a perfect dip.

By the time the music ended both were inches away from each other's lips. Both panting and out of breath, faces flushed. Mirajane's mind wasn't working at the moment as her heart took over and she leaned up and kissed Erza on the lips in front of nor Erza would hear the gasps or see the gawking jaws of the onlookers. They couldn't see their Parents grinning ear to ear or hear the peacekeeper's wolf whistle. Nor the Blond beauty storm out of the ballroom and the grandson of the peace keeper shatter his drink. Nothing mattered or existed but each other as they kissed. She wouldn't lie Erza's lips were the softest lips she's ever kissed. Soon after her mind caught up to this feeling and Mirajane's eyes shot open. Soon met by Erza's beautiful eyes. Mirajane broke the kiss panting and staring into Erza's eyes. Mind working a mile a minute as she realized that she just kissed her Rival in front of everyone and that it felt amazing. Erza stood up straight and Mirajane was flushed and pressed into her chest. She was panting and so was Erza. She wouldn't believe it, she can't believe it but it was to good not to believe. She stayed close to Erza as she could now hear the ballroom roar in applause and whistle for the two that just took their breath away with that dance and the kiss they shared.

Mirajane was soon overwhelmed with anxiety and tried to escape but Erza kept her close and held her tight. Once Mirajane heard Erza's heart freaking out she started to calm with it. Mirajane knew Erza was shielding her from embarrassment. Erza lead Mirajane to their Parents and Mirajane didn't fight her. Once they reached their seats Mirajane didn't even notice but she did sit extremely close to Erza. Mirajane blamed the passion the tango could bring to the two dancing. However there was that nagging voice in the back of her head and it frustrated her. She leaned against Erza as Alexander and Saber were gaining everyone's attention. This also gained Mirajane's attention and made her look up at the two talking. She wasn't listening until she saw the peacekeeper come up to them and turn to face the crowd. Mirajane's stomach dropped right at that moment. The only thing she got from his speech was 'binding kingdoms, arranged marriage, next rulers of a joined empire'. Mirajane froze against Erza wide eyed as the two kingdom's subjects cheered and hollered. Oh how everything has changed and how much Mirajane wanted to run as the realization hit her.

Author's Note/Answers: Hi everyone, I hope everyone isn't to upset with me. I've been really busy and I know that's no excuse but I write on my free time when I can. I have been working on Vi's Gauntlets from League of Legends. Also Cosplaying and I apologize. I hope this Chapter Satifies and in the next chapter it will have Makarov's full speech and Erza's response to it as well as everyone's face and expression to the news. I did put in new Characters and they will keep appearing and new ones are to come. Oh man Oh man what I have up my sleeves for you all Muhahahaha. Now onto the Questions Portions.

Cimmanon:

This is a nice chapter; it wasn't exactly suspenseful but it had my full attention. But I like the whole idea of Reindeer being a mode of transportation. Thank you for answering my last question, and now I have another. Are the "dragons" still around in this story, or is it too soon to ask? In this chapter you indirectly state that Grandine is the nurse...or maybe I'm thinking of the wrong Grandine...also will there be future chapters explaining how Anya and Alexander/ Manasa and Saber met?

Answer: Hi again Cimmanon! You always ask great questions and I love your reviews. Okay so to answer the first question. Yes the dragons will come back but I'm not going to say when. Also Grandine isn't really the Nurse. She will come and go as she pleases. Also Grandine is like the two countries Healer, so nurse is a understatement, haha. Yes there will be a chapter that explains how they all met and how Manasa and Anya became friends and why Saber and Alexander always try to one up each other. So I hope this answers your question!

Alright Guys! I hope you enjoyed the fourth chapter of Written in Blood. Reviews are very appreciated and I really really hope you guys enjoy this story. Until next time my dear readers I adore you all.
