Wait, what's this...an update?! Yes It's an update, and read till the end to see a wonderful surprise
Jay groaning as they ran to catch up to Sakura who had already packed her bag and was heading to the train station with Laxus. Romeo pushing Jay, yelling to Sakura "Wait, please! We want to still join you!"
"Fine, you can come with me, but you're taking the chance you might die." Sakura snarks while leading Laxus to open seats, "I mean it, Jay."
Jay smirks as he slides into the spot opposite of Sakura, "I'll take that warning and give it to that jerk Sting."
Laxus chuckling at the interaction of the young team, Romeo sighing as his teammates glare and scowl at each other. The boys noticing a certain feline absent from their train ride. Laxus leaning back before voicing what the other two guys were thinking, "Where the blue pest you keep around, Sakura?"
"Luna had something she needed to do." Sakura said a scowl on her face with sadness in her eyes, "I think it has to do with the mission she was giving…"
Romeo nodding "As she told you what it was yet?"
"No, it's like she doesn't trust me with it." Sakura whispers, looking out the window, "Ever since she found that small town of exceeds, she's been distant."
"Can you blame her?" Laxus mutters closing his eyes, "She's never seen another member of her kind when she lived with you back on your world."
"I understand that, it's just I think she trust them more than me." Sakura scowled leaning against Laxus as the train began moving.
Jay smiling, "So is that why you snapped? You're upset that Luna is happy"
Sakura glaring from Laxus's chest making Romeo and Laxus chuckle. Jay gulping as Sakura snaps "No! You like to talk about things you don't understand like you understand them!"
Sakura getting up and storming to another cart, upon reaching the cart she sighs heavily. Finding an open window seat, Sakura snatches it and leans against the window with her eyes closing as to take a nap. Two shadows pass over her, making Sakura open her eyes.
"Never thought we'd run into you here Sakura-chan." The black haired male spoke softly sitting opposite her, "Shouldn't you already be in town?"
"Hai Rogue-kun, had to wait for my teammates though." Sakura replied kicking her feet on the seat beside her before the other male could sit down.
The blonde male had a look of fake pain on his face before sitting next to his companion, "Oh poor Sakura-chan. Why don't you just ditch that lame guild and join ours, we could be team dragon slayer. It'd be super fun having you and Laxus-nee with the Twin Dragon Slayers."
"Not a chance, Sting-san." Sakura replied coldly before realizing something "AND I TOLD YOU TO STOP ADDING CHAN TO MY NAME, I TOLD YOU WE ARE NOT FRIENDS!"
Laxus walking in at that joins the young slayers, growls "It'd be wise to respect my sister, Sting. And stop calling me nee!"
"Yeah, yeah." Sting muttered, eyes fixed on Sakura, "She's just too cute for her own good. But honestly, you both should join us."
Rogue rolling his eyes before grabbing Sakura's shoulder as she falls from the seat and helps her move to let Laxus sit down.
Laxus growling at the blonde teen pulls Sakura against him muttering "We have a team already and a guild."
"Hai!" Sakura yelped as Jay and Romeo walked in, "Team Fairy Tail Guardian!"
Romeo and Jay taking the seats across the way, both nod as Laxus adds "And I have the Thunder God Tribe."
Romeo nodding and pumping his fist in the air, yelling "Yep, Fairy Tail is the best guild, with the best teams that always stay together no matter what happens!"
Jay murmuring "Yeah, best dang team in the whole guild is ours, right now. But who really cares about that."
Sting picking up on the sarcasm in the teen's voice "Oh so you're the best damn team in your whole guild. If you don't care about that then why fight for it?"
"Enough!" scolds Rogue sending a glare to Sting with Sakura. Laxus smirking as a winged shadow passes their window. Sakura noticing the shadow next, opens the window. Luna flying in and landing next to Romeo who patted her head, growling "Why did you guys not leave me a note?"
"You told me you wouldn't be back for a while, I thought we'd be home before you." Sakura answers honestly as the train stops in Hargeon.
Lune half glaring at her before leading the boys off the train with Sakura who grabs her for a hug, Sting's and Rogue's exceed waiting out on the platform. One exceed being a slightly brown pinkish with a blue open vest that rushed to Sting with a green exceed wearing a bright pink frog suit following suit to Rogue.
Rogue asking "Frosch have you two been waiting this whole time for our return?"
"YES! Frosch and Lector-kun waited all day for Rogue-kun and Sting-san to return home," the green exceed wearing a bright pink frog suit yelps, "Sakura-chan came too! Frosch is so happy to see Sakura-chan!"
Sakura laughing as Frosch jumped and tackled into her for a hug, "I'm happy to see you too Frosch."
Frosch smiling brightly at Sakura as he moves around the little group getting high fives and tight hugs from all. The other exceed speaking up "Where are you all preforming tonight?"
"Town square, I believe," answers Romeo "or has the stage been moved?"
Shaking his head no, the other exceed replies "It is still there, I was just not sure since the last time you preformed in the guild hall."
"No Lector that was a special time. Since it's not raining this time we can perform outside under the stars," Jay replies as the train pulls away from the station and the group begins the short trek to the stage.
Upon arriving, Sakura grabs the microphone to begin the sound check before the show. Jay sitting down at the drums while Romeo grabs a guitar so they can practice a song with Sting and Rouge. Luna, Frosch and Lector watching from behind the curtain with Laxus. A small crowd begins to form in front of the stage as Sakura ends her sound check, they begin to chant "Next Song! Next Song!"
"Our next song will be in two hours!" yells Sakura "Hope you all show for our next concert it will be a real treat."
Jay, Romeo, Rogue, Sting and Sakura all leave the stage towards Laxus and exceed. Once the crowd had left, the little group started to head for the nearest restaurant. Sting leaning in close to Sakura as they enter, whispers "Why don't we ditch this group and go out just ourselves?"
"I'd rather you jump off a cliff," Sakura mutters "If our guilds didn't force us to work this together I wouldn't even be here doing this with you."
Sting acting wounded as he replies "You hurt me, Sakura-chan."
"Stop calling me that!" yells Sakura whipping to face Sting "You have no right to be calling me by that, so enough."
Romeo and Jay sighing as they step up to the side of Sakura, Rogue doing the same to Sting as the patrons of the restaurant turn to watch the fight. The exceeds all sitting in a booth some way from the rest of their group with Laxus who keeps glaring at those close to them to stop watching this argument. Sakura taking a step closer to Sting, going on to her tippy-toes to get eye to eye with him, growls "I've had enough of this game you're playing."
"It's no game, love," growls Sting, "You just need to see that these losers are holding you back."
Jay stepping forward "And how's that so? Last I checked you two aren't even in the standing and are being punished for messing up on your last mission."
Rogue sighing as Sting shoots Jay a harsh glare. Romeo pulling Jay back with Sakura as they head towards the table where the rest of their group is sitting. Sting and Rogue slowly following after them, Rogue sliding in beside Sakura with Romeo, Jay and Laxus across from them. Sting growling as he take the seat next to Rogue, while Lector, Frosch and Luna all sit on the window seal.
A young girl with dark navy hair and bright blue eyes came up to the open table side, offers "Here are your menus, I'll be your waitress for this afternoon. My name is Miu, is there anything you would like to start off with?"
Laxus speaking up first "I'll take a beer, give the kiddies here water. No Sakura, I don't think drinking soda before a performance is a good idea after last time."
"Fine, I'll have the soup of the day house special," answers Sakura with a smile as Romeo points "and he wants the house special plate."
Jay going next "I'll have the number three, please."
"Two number sevens also." says Rogue looking to Frosch who nods excitedly.
Sting rolling his eyes "one number five and a number two."
The young girl quickly trying to write everything down before she leaves, repeating the order back to make sure she had everything down. Once she left the group begins to look around and talk. The food coming out a short while later.
Once there were done with the lunch, the group head back to the stage area to get ready for the concert later that evening. Sakura heading to her small curtained off dressing room, changing into a simple gray shirt, black skirt with ripped up red leggings tucked into kitten heal boots and pulling on a black three-quarter sleeve jacket that hides her guild mark. Stepping out of the makeshift dressing room, right into Romeo and Jay who had also changed into their outfits for the concert which consisted of black jeans with red tank tops with the Fairy Tail marks in a deep purple on the sides.
Just a little ways off from the trio stood Rogue and Sting in their costumes for the night. Rogue was dressed in dark wash black pants with a dark shirt with a blood splattered across the chest while Sting was wore a light wash black jeans with a white blood splattered tank top under his signature jacket. Laxus and Luna walking up with the microphones for the singers, handing one to Sakura, Rogue and Sting. Romeo asking "The microphone I'll use already set up?"
"Correct Romeo-san," answers Frosch "and here's your guitar!"
Romeo smiling down at the frog suit wearing exceed as he grabs the pitch black strap connected to a basic black guitar with a red Fairy Tail symbol. Jay plucking his drum sticks from Lector's out stretched paw, when they pass. Sakura smiling as she takes her place under the trap door, Rogue and Sting following Romeo to the dark main stage while Jay walked to the raised drum set. Laxus sighing as he leans against the pillar with a cord microphone in his hand, bring it up he speaks softly "Now's the time you've all been waiting for. Give it up for the Fairy Tail Guardians with their special guest the Twin Dragon Slayers of Sabortooth!"
The crowd going wild as Romeo nods to Jay and the two dragon slayers standing on either side of the stage, strumming on the guitar and singing "It's just too wrong, while the fools gone. It's just what devil's do."
"I'll take you too low, where your heats torn, we'll shake the angel from you." sings Sting s a spot light lights up his form.
"Rising from the ground, right up towards up." Sakura sings back as the trap door opens while she uses her sound magic to form angel like wings which unfurl as she jumps from below the stage. "Filled with the strength I've found, there's nothing I won't do."
Rogue now stepping in to a spot light, singing with Sting and Sakura "I need to know, need to know, will you love me again? I need to know, need to know, will you love me again? I need to know, need to know, will you love me again? I need to know, need to know, will you love me again?"
Jumping from the stage, Sakura pretends that her wings worked and flapped them as she continues "Will you love me again?"
"Unforgettable, we broke your soul," Rogue sings, keeping his eyes on Sakura's form as she dances amongst the crowd below, "It's what demons do."
Sting moving to keep in line with Rogue, picks up "We rule the worst of things, destroy anything."
"You'll bring down angels like me," replies Sakura spotting a male with a shade darker pink hair then her own, "Rising from the ground, right up towards you. Filled with strength I've found, there's nothing I won't do."
The three singing in-sync again "I need to know, need to know will you love me again? I need to know, need to know will you love me again? I need to know, need to know will you love me again? I need to know, need to know will you love me again?"
"Will you love me again?" softly sings Sakura as she tries to make it less obvious that she runs to the stage again. Once back under the harsh glare of the blinding stage lights, Sakura looks back out to the crowd. Not seeing the man with the pink hair she beings to walk to Rogue and Sting off to the left side of Romeo, "We just want to thank everyone for coming out this evening, that last song was my version of a hit song called 'Love Me Again'. Our next song is an old poem that means the world to someone very dear, Rogue-kun do you mind sing the English?"
Rogue shrugging as Sting pats his back hard, Sakura having turned back to the crowd and begins "Savete giudicar vostra ragione, o om che pregio di saver portate." Romeo swaying as he softly plays his guitar while Jay takes up just tapping his foot against the drum petal, Sakura continue "Per che, vitando aver con voi quisione,com so rispondo a le parole ornate."
Rogue smiling as he sees Sakura spinning and acting child-like replies "You know how to interpret your theme, intelligent as you are; so I will not enter into any dispute with you, but only answer as best I can your elegantly phrased question."
"Disio verace, u' rado fin si pone, che mosse di valore o di bieltate, imagina l'amica oppinïone significasse il don che pria narrate," replies Sakura as she grabs Sting's hand to dance with him. Rogue stepping back to allow them their freedom of movement, "My view-speaking as a friend-is that the gift you first mention signified true desire, proceeding from merit or beauty, a desire that seldom comes to an end."
Sakura now dancing with both dragon slayers, forgetting about earlier finishes "Lo vestimento, aggiate vera spene che fia da lei cui desïate, amore; e'n ciò provide Vostro spitro bene: dico, pensando l'ovra sua d'allore. La figura che già morta sorvene è la fermessa ch'averà nel core."
"As for the garment, be confident that this will be love, given by her who, you desire, as indeed your spirit well divined-I say this in view of the act that followed. The dead figure that came on the scene is the constancy that she'll now bear in her heart." ends Rogue as Sting tries to dip both of them off the stage. Sakura laughing as she lands on her feet off the stage.
Out in the crowd a male with slanted black eyes hidden under bright salmon hair stood amongst his friends. His eyes never leaving the young girl that sang and danced on stage, a feeling that he knew her washing over him at the last song's end. The blonde standing next to his leans in close whispers "Natsu, you okay?"
What do you all think?
