AN: Story is my idea, but I do not own anything Fairy Tail.
Chapter 12: Forming Groups
This was hell. It's been days and we were still stuck around the guild. Plus I didn't know how long I could hold back my anger. Every time we went to Lucy's apartment to get clothes or necessities I could smell Natsu everywhere. She hasn't been with him so why the hell could I smell him? I was going to have to talk to him again and see what the fuck he was doing. I could smell Lisanna all over him so he clearly didn't want Bunny on an intimate level. I had to step out of the room before I destroyed it. "Bunny?"
"Yeah? I'll be done in a minute!" She was in her bathroom getting ready to go because I had promised to take her out. She's been freaking out about not being able to go on a job. I know she didn't feel comfortable with it, but I had plenty of jewels. The only expense I had was food at the guild. If she wanted it to be a loan I could give her some, but honestly she could use whatever she needed of it. I liked having a savings, but I would rather keep her safe and in my sight than get in trouble for going on a mission. The board was actually starting to get over filled with all of the requests coming in. She would look at them everyday and complain about not going on one. I just wanted to get her head away from the jewel issue. "I'll meet you outside."
"Gajeel!" I just closed the front door when Erza came walking up. "Titania?" She nodded to me and handed me a piece of paper. "I thought we were stuck here?" It was an S-class mission on top of it. "I don't know if this is a good idea." She noticed me look back at the door towards Bunny and smiled at me. "She will appreciate it, plus we all are going. Master said as long as we stick together we could go. We all need the jewels. I picked this one because it will cover her rent." I nodded, but I still didn't like the idea of the mission. It was to take down a group of beasts that were tearing down cities. It was actually near where we were for the last mission. "She will like this, you're right. I will tell her later. We are going to go out for the day though. Do you want to leave first thing in the morning?"
"Yes that is what I was planning. Where are we going?" I deadpanned. She didn't just invite herself! "I'm taking her on a date. Just us! Now leave us alone."
"You better treat her right Gajeel!" She growled at me. Her damn team with their damn threats. I swear I received at least five a day. Erza made her way out though. A few more minutes and she finally made her way out. "About time, I thought you had gotten lost in that closet of yours." She giggled at me and wrapped my arm around her dragging her to the new café I noticed in the market place. I knew she would love it. It was basically a bakery with some sandwiches. After we spent some time there we ended up going to the guild to dick around. Natsu asked Lucy to fight him which was something he asked her every time he's seen her and she's given him the same answer every time. "No."
"Did Gajeel tell you about the mission Luce?" Her eyes got wide and she looked over to me. Fucking Flame Brain ruined the surprise. I was going to tell her tonight when I made her dinner. "What mission?" She was excited now, which I knew she would be. "Are we going on a mission?"
"Yeah! We are going to take out some beasts! I'm all fired up!" Natsu proceeded to scream like an idiot as he lit on fire. "Be careful Natsu!" Bunny yelled at him as we all got up and jumped away from him. This mission was going to be hell. I had to spend time with these two idiots. Titania was okay, but Popsicle and Flame Brain were going to be the death of me. I just wanted to spend the day with Bunny before going through my torture. However, my plans were shot once they started to talk about the damn job. It was simple. Go to the town and take out the beasts that are destroying it. Granted it was S-class, but still kill beasts. That's it. By the time we actually left the guild it was already time for bed. We ended up staying and talking to everyone. Seriously, I didn't mind listening to her talk to others or talk to me, but I didn't really want to join the conversation. There were a few times I was forced to join in and I didn't like it.
"I'm going to go back to my apartment for the night, do you guys want to meet at the train station at eight?" Everyone agreed with Bunny of course so once she got up and looked at me we left. "Do you want to stay with me or have a night to yourself?" Of course I wanted to stay with her. "Silly Bunny. I'll stay with you if you want. Why don't you take a shower and by the time you're done I'll be over. I just want to run to my place and pack a bag." She nodded towards me and we went our separate ways. I ran to my house as fast as I could to get what I needed.
I walked in the door figuring she would still be in the bathroom, but what greeted me was so much better. She was sitting on her couch with nothing but a towel on. Her hair wasn't wet so she clearly never got into the shower. "Bunny?" As soon as the door closed she stood up and dropped her towel. My mouth instantly went dry and I could think of all the places I would love to put my mouth. I could smell her arousal and then I couldn't understand why I was still just standing there. I dropped my luggage to the floor and started stripping my clothes off as I made my way over to her. Once I reached her I ducked down and picked her up so her legs would be on my shoulders and my face would be right where I wanted it. Making my way to the bed and took to my knees to drop her gently onto the bed keeping her thighs resting on my shoulders.
As soon as her back hit the mattress my mouth dropped to her thighs. I loved the noises she made. The silent screams that came from her and the gasps at my teasing. I ran my nose across her thigh and licked the other side ignoring where I knew she wanted me the most. "Stop teasing me, please!" She grabbed my hair and pushed my head to the center of her. I gave her what she wanted. My tongue flattened against her and I let the stud run from her opening to her clit. I put my mouth over her and dipped my tongue inside of her. She moaned loudly. Her moans would always drive me crazy. I brought my mouth up to give myself enough room to add two fingers to the mix. She screamed out when I pushed them into her. She started to squirm under me so I put my arm over her waist to keep her down. I started to feel her walls tremble and the muscles in her thighs and legs start to shake. She was right there.
Before she could get there I wanted to be inside of her. I loved to feel her fall apart around me. I pulled away and moved her more onto the bed to make room for the two of us. I was inside of her as soon as she was comfortable. She moaned and arched her back into me. It only took a few thrusts to feel her tighten around of me and lose herself. I grabbed a hold of her hips and pushed her body up and started to thrust harder and faster. Her moans chained together and changed from high pitch to low and long. I started to rub her clit in time with my thrusts to get her there a second time with me this time.
Once we were done I went to cuddle her and she moved away from me. "I need a shower, are you going to join me?"
The night went this way until we both collapsed and went to sleep. We were now at the train station waiting for the damn train. This was one of those times I would agree with Flame Brain. Transportation was just plain fucking torture. Lily pushed on me to comfort me as Bunny argued with Happy about her being fat. Damn cat is always trying to get a rise out of her and it always worked. I grabbed her hand and pulled her over to the bench to wait patiently for the rest of her team. We were still waiting for Titania and Popsicle. "Why don't you stay here and I'll go get the tickets for everyone so we can get on the train on time?" She smiled over to me and went to grab Lily to cuddle him. Lisanna decided to come with us as well. Happy scampered off to go sit with them on the other bench.
We got a large compartment on the train and sat together. It was still pretty cramped, but it was do able at least. Bunny was talking to Titania and Popsicle and I died against the window. I could listen to their conversation, but I honestly couldn't care less about what she was actually saying. It took all of my concentration not to puke all over everyone. It looked like Flame Brain was in the same predicament. This was going to be the worst eight hours of my life. I felt Bunny grab my shoulder and push me into her. I looked at her confused for a moment before she started to run her fingers through my hair. It was a nice distraction. Before I knew it my head was on her lap and I was falling asleep. Maybe the eight hours wouldn't be so bad. The next thing I knew was that I was being woken up. We couldn't be there already? Could we? Did I sleep the whole eight hours?
Apparently that was the case because everyone was getting off of the train. I grabbed our luggage and followed Bunny out. She picked up the sleeping Lily off of the table that we had in front of us and left the compartment. "We should get some food and figure out where we are going to start." Titania led the group to a diner on the edge of town. When we sat down she pulled a map out with circles and on it. "All of the circles indicate where these beasts have been. I've also put dates near each circle. It appears that the attacks are happening every three days. The last attack was yesterday so tomorrow night there should be an attack somewhere where we are now. That is going off of the pattern they are showing."
"Erza, beasts don't usually go in a pattern, do you think that someone is controlling them?" Bunny had the same thought that I had. Beasts never went in a pattern it was more animalistic and just a I see it I kill it type of vibe. "It almost sounds like they're attacking to clear out the local area."
"You're very smart Lucy. That's what it seems like to me too. I took this job for a reason. Jellal was the one who informed me of the connection. I wouldn't have thought of it if it weren't for him. Sting and his group were over here when he got kidnapped. They even took a job very similar to this one. So we are going to investigate what's going on too. We need to stay on our toes the whole time we are here. Them only wanting Dragon Slayers is just a theory so we need to keep an eye out." Everyone was alert now. Not that they weren't paying attention, but none of them wanted to see anything happen. "Why don't we go check into a hotel and then go were we need to go."
"I thought there wouldn't be an attack until tomorrow? Where do we need to be?" For once Popsicle was being intelligent. "We are meeting up with someone for more information Gray." Erza was hiding something and I bet it had something to do with her contacts to this mission. I'm positive it had a sexual reason too. I looked at Bunny and she had a smug look on her face. She was thinking the same as me. I knew it. Our thoughts were solidified when we got four rooms. Too bad Juvia wasn't here to spend the night with Popsicle. He seemed to be the only one who wasn't rooming with someone. For some reason he had a shit eating grin on his face though which actually creeped me out. Fucking weirdo.
"Where and when do we have to go to meet these people Erza?"
"Not too far Lucy. They are waiting for us in the forest. I told them that we would meet them at seven and it's already past six so by the time we get there they should be there." She was right in that. I could smell a certain group I wasn't too keen on. Especially the poison slayer, Cobra, he was a fucking dick. "Keep your thought to yourself asshole!" I growled over at him and pulled Bunny closer to me.
"Hmm, hey Blondie. If I knew you were into bad boys perhaps I would have taken that little flower of yours." In the next blink of an eye I had Cobra by the throat against a tree. "Watch what you say to my girlfriend you little dick!"
"You haven't claimed her yet." He looked over at Bunny and winked. "Maybe I can show you a better time, plus I wouldn't be shy in marking you right out the bat so you'd always be mine." I didn't even get a chance to do anything else because it was Natsu pushing him to the ground. If it weren't for Jellal I think Natsu would have killed him. I had to admit that I just got more respect for him. "Cobra! That's enough. We are going to be working with them and if you can't control yourself I am going to let them do what they want to do to you. Is that understood?"
"Whatever boss man." Jellal looked us all over. "I'm sorry Lucy, he's an idiot and just likes to get a rise out of everyone." Bunny nodded to him but put herself closer to me. This of course made me very happy.
"So what did you find out?" Erza asked. "Not much. It does seem like the beasts are looking for something or someone, but nothing been taken so I would have to imagine that it hasn't been found. At least not yet. We need to find out what it may be. We should form groups and go to each side of the town tomorrow."
"Not including the exceeds, we have thirteen of us. Let's do two groups of five and one group of four. The exceeds can go with their owners."
"That sound's like a great idea Lucy. Where is Wendy? I thought she was on your team as well?" Jellal addressed Titania.
"She is. With everything going on Carla refused to let her go on this mission. She is back at the guild safe and sound. How about on my team it's Jellal, Midnight, Cobra, and me. Natsu your team can be Lisanna, Happy, Sorana, Hoteye, and you. This will leave Meredy, Lucy, Lily, Gajeel, Racer, and Gray on a team. Does this sound good to everyone?"
"I want to be on Luce's team! Gajeel let's switch places!" I was going to smack him over the head, but luckily Lisanna beat me to it. "Oi! Don't be a dumbass! Stick by your girlfriend's side."
"Actually, I would love to be on a team with you two and Blondie myself." Cobra gestured to Flame Brain and then myself. "Especially with all of the fun thoughts you both have of her, especially you bucket of bolts."
"You really want to get killed, don't you?" This was the last time I was going to warn him. I didn't like him at all and he needed to stay out of my damn head. "
"I do find it quite funny that I don't piss you off Blondie. You're thoughts are calm while theirs are practically screaming." He stared at Bunny for a moment before a light smile adorned his face. "You're clever. It's nice when someone can block me out like that. I'll be listening to you the most."
"Okay! That's enough you guys. We need to get back on track! The game plan is simple. One team is going to go straight out of the city while the other team goes towards the right and the other left. One of the teams is going to reach the beasts first. I have a communication lacrima. Lisanna, Lucy you have one too, right?" We both nodded. "Yeah, Mira gave me one before I left." Lisanna mentioned. "Jellal everyone on your team has one, right?" He nodded. Okay good. This way if you need anyone on the team then you can call them. I want all of us to meet back here at ten sharp tomorrow morning so we can train with our group and make sure we can work well with each other. Sound good?"
"Does it matter what –" Gray went to say something, but Titania cut him off. "I don't care what you guys do tonight, but if you leave the hotel I want there to be at least four of you together.
"Ha! I don't think these two couples are planning to leave their hotel room. Ew! Fuck man! I didn't want to think about you and Red over here! Besides the way she acts you would think she had a dick!" Cobra only lasted another moment before Jellal used his Grand Chariot attack on him and he was knocked out cold. "Hoteye, Meredy? Do you two mind bringing him back to camp please? I will see you guys in the morning."
"Actually, if you guys want rooms I can get more rooms for you guys. This way you don't have to stay outside. I'll have plenty of jewels for rent and food after this mission." It was Meredy who spoke up. "Really, you'd do that for us?"
"Of course!" After getting three more rooms for them Bunny finally pulled us to our room. I knew we were going to have another fun night. Once we got to the elevator to go to our rooms I started to whisper in her ear. Mainly nibble on her ear to make her shiver and quietly moan. "Let's order a bunch of room service and disappear until we are needed again. Sound good to you?" She never answered me because her lips attached to mine.
AN: So, for some reason I had a hell of time writing this chapter. I know if I just wasn't into it or if my stress level has been affecting even this. Lol I've been a damn wreck lately. It seems that everything comes together. One bad thing after the next. I might be moving to Maine though which is pretty cool. FYI I live in South Florida now so climate change will be crazy!
On another note, I can't believe how many favorites and follows I've gotten. That's insane. I really appreciate it you guys. I also loving when my email chirps at me with a new review. Lol. Like I said I read all of them! I'm sorry if everyone was worried about the "Announcement" chapter. I didn't mean to scare you. I didn't even think about it. Haha! Well, I'll have another chapter up by the end of the weekend for sure. I don't work next weekend so it shouldn't be so hectic! Plus I had a date that went horrible and a two separate girl's nights out. Two sets of friends. I wish they would just get along so it could be one. Oh well, more yummy food for me. Have fun! Love ya!
