Chapter Four

The girls were long into their shopping trip and Bickslow was somewhere doing something. Laxus didn't really care about that. He wasn't very comfortable with leaving Kira, but he knew that Ever would look after her and he needed to speak with Gramps.

"So tell me my boy, did the mission not go well?" the older small mage said, peeking over the top of his desk. The office was filled with ever more paperwork then the last time Laxus was in here.

Laxus grunted.

"It went fine, all wiped out and handed over to the council. That not why I'm up here Gramps."

He ran his hand over his face, all the way to the back of his head and scratched. "We found a girl that was being held by the dark guild. She's fine, shopping with Evergreen right now."

Looking away from the older mage Laxus started to feel tightness in his chest. "They did things, Gramps..." he growled "She's going to be staying with me. She is also a pretty strong mage. Ever will bring her here when they have finished. Can you meet with her?"

The older mage was smiling at his grandson has he finished talking.

'I have waited for this day for so long…HE BROUGHT A GIRL HOME…I must tell Mira.'

Gramps coughed to clear his thoughts.

"Of course, my boy, I would love to meet with her. What's her name?"

"Kira" Laxus said, smiling at the old master.

"So you ready?"

Kira swallowed hard.

"They are crazy, but they are our family."

Evergreen had been telling her all about Fairy Tail, about her family. Most of the shopping trip was Ever talking about some guy call Elfman and his demon of a sister, that apparently Freed had the 'hots' for 'but not enough balls to do anything about it' as Ever put it.

"Kira?" Bringing her out of her thoughts, Kira looked up at Evergreen.

"Yeah I'm ready".

The guild went silent the moment the two girls opened the door. All eyes on the new face that stood next to Evergreen.

"Evergreen, welcome back. Can I get you anything?"

A beautiful woman with long white hair and a reddish pink sundress came over smiling like no tomorrow.

"And what about you sweetheart? Can I get you anything?"

"This is MiraJane, she works the bar here. Anything you like, she can get" Ever said looking at Kira. "Mira, this is Kira. Hopefully the newest member of Fairy Tail."

Mira's smile got even bigger.

"Oh it's so nice to meet you." she said jumping into hug Kira.

Kira froze. The moment Mira stopped hugging everyone else in the guild came running over to join in; names were flying out with 'Nice to meet you' and 'Welcome' and 'Get her something to drink.' The faces began to blur for Kira. Everything began to swell and she could feel her chest tightening. A pink haired boy come up to her looking her right in the face, noses almost touching. "WELCOME TO FAIRY TAIL!" he then threw his arm over her shoulder.

The tightness got worse, she couldn't breathe. All these faces. All these people. She couldn't handle it anymore. Her legs began to give out; she fell to the floor hugging her knees and screamed "NOOOOOOOO!" A large bolt of lighting hit the floor right in front of her, she couldn't look up. Then she felt a large warm hand touch her back.

"Kira, its ok, I got you".

Kira slowly looked up through her blurry tear filled eyes, she could see the pink haired mage on the floor twitching. She looked up to see Laxus with a concerned look on his face, which turned into a smile once she was standing once more. She began to look around at all the members of the guild that had moved well away from her, all but Evergreen and Laxus.

A small old man come through the crowd and stopped right in front of her, holding his hand out to her.

"Kira, I am the master of this guild Makarov Dreyer. It's very nice to meet you"

Kira bent down and shook the small mans hand. The master's energy flowed through her body.

'This feels like...'

She quickly pulled her hand away.

"Sorry"

She looked up at Laxus.

"Um. I'm sorry."

She continued to look back and forth between the master and Laxus. Stopping at Laxus once more.

"Um, are you related?"

The shocked look on every mages face was priceless. Makarov coughed.

"Why, yes we are Kira, Laxus here is my grandson. I would like to know how you could tell that? I know Laxus did not tell you his last name."

Looking back to the small mage, Kira bent back down to talk to him face to face. "You feel the same…your energy…it is very similar."

She stood up and looked at Laxus

"But still different." she smiled at him. Something told her he didn't like being known as Makarov's grandson.

"Interesting, Laxus and Freed have informed me of your situation. We would very much like it if you could be apart of your family, Kira."

Kira only nodded at the small mage.

"Excellent. ALL RIGHT MY CHILDREN! Welcome Kira to our family, but please remember to give her some space."

The whole guildhall became an uproar. Drinks came flying out of the bar and soon people came flying into the bar! Kira was slowly moving around to meet people. A nice sweet blonde named Lucy was apologising for the idiot pinked hair mage Natsu. Lucy and her very cute blue haired friend Levy came across as being fantastic people to talk to. The only thing that scared her was the very dark tall man that stood behind Levy, the one she calls Gajeel. Lucy later told Kira that he was a teddy bear that loved to cuddle. Laxus stayed with her the whole time, growling when some people got too close. He slowly had her move upstairs to a table that Freed was already reading at and Bickslow was hanging over the rail with his tongue out.

"This is where we sit," Laxus grunted taking his seat and pushing one out for Kira to sit on right next to him.

"Away from everyone?" Kira smiled taking the seat.

"They are loud and annoying," Laxus grunted, while pulling his sound pods from his pocket

Grabbing his hand and stopping him from putting them on Kira looked at Laxus and smiled.

"They are your family."

"LAXUS, FIGHT ME!"

"And they are very loud and very annoying." he sighed, refusing to move his hand away from hers

"COME ON, LAXUS, I'M FIRED UP!"

"Very loud" Kira smiled at Laxus as he ran his free hand through his hair.

"LAXUS, COME ON, FIGHT ME. YOU GO SOFT NOW YOU FOUND YOUR...AHGHGHAHAA!"

A loud bolt of lighting came out of nowhere. Kira ran to see over the rail, seeing Natsu twitching once again on the floor of the guildhall.

Kira turned and giggled at Laxus.

"I take he does that a lot and you shock him a lot."

Getting a grunt in response she looked back over to see a girl that looked like Mira come over and pull Natsu away and a small blue flying cat helping her.

"Damn Bossman, that was a big one." Bickslow laughed next to Kira on the rail. Bickslow turned back around to look down at the bar.

"Damn, best spot to stand in the guild." he whispered but Kira and Laxus still heard him.

Looking over the railing down to the bar, Kira could see nothing but boobs. "Perv." Kira said turning to glare at him.

"No, I mean yes, but no." Bickslow said moving away from the rail "Only at one I swear… I mean no, I mean… sorry Kira."

He fell back into his chair. Kira could see a small blush coming from under his visor.

"Who?" Kira said taking her seat next to Laxus again.

'Cosplayer.' 'Cosplayer.' His babies began to giggle.

"Um, Lucy." Bickslow said, removing his visor to show his bright red face.

"Well she is very pretty, Bix." Kira said smiling at him "Why not ask her out?"

"What? No! Never! She would never say yes to that… Do you think she would say yes to that?"

"I don't know, I just met her." Kira giggled, she felt a warm hand fall on her back and she hummed at the warmth "But you never know unless you ask, Bix."

"Right… ah, why the fuck not?"

He stood up leaving his visor and walked down to the bar.

Kira jumped up from her seat to see over the rail once more. She could see Bickslow moving over to where Lucy was talking with Levy and Gajeel. She could see him scratching behind his head, and Gajeel smiling from ear to ear. She felt Laxus come over to rail, each one of his arms on either side of her. She nestled back into his chest when he got closer to look over her head. She looked back to Bickslow to see Lucy's face go red, and Bickslow's going redder. Then Lucy jumped up wrapping her arms around Bickslow's neck as she kissed him. Kira shifted, turning to face Laxus.

"You know that was going to happen didn't you?" he whispered into her ear.

Giggling at the warmth of Laxus' breath on her neck, Kira smiled.

"So did you, or you would have stopped him."

She moved her hands to rest on his chest.

Enjoying how she fitted in his arms so well, Laxus nuzzled into her neck more.

"I did, but I could hear Blondie talk about how 'sexy' Bix is all the time, but you just met them?"

He looked up to meet her eyes.

'She's so beautiful'.

"Their energy is connected, similar to you and Master Makarov but it's like they are attached to each other. I could tell you all the couples or wanting to be couples in the room." she grinned.

"Go on." Laxus dared.

'This could be fun.'

Turning back over the rail, so she could see the whole guild Kira pointed down "That blue haired women is totally in love with that half naked man!"

"Juvia loving Grey, not that hard to see that".

"Yes but Grey is in love with that women getting really drunk at the bar".

"Cana?"

"Yep…" she popped her 'p', "and she likes him too, they just haven't connected yet. Then the official couples are Ever and I assume that is Elfman…he does look manly…" she giggled.

"Levy and Gajeel."

She pointed.

"Natsu and that younger version of Mira are also already connected"

"Wait, Lisanna and Flamebrain!" He looked over Kira to see Lisanna still trying to wake Natsu.

"Yep." she popped her 'p' again.

"Let's see, who else?"

She began to scan the room.

"Those two kids over there, the small girl with long blue hair and the boy but its different, like there is no sexual nature to the relationship."

Laxus sighed happily at that one.

"Wendy and Romeo, if they was something sexual he would be in trouble." He growled.

Kira turned around and giggled, placing her index finger into Laxus' frowning brow.

"Then there is Freed and his love for Mira."

Kira giggled as Laxus' frown disappeared.

"And she loves him back".

A smile come over Laxus as he look back over the guild he knew some of the couples she had said but not all.

'She's amazing.'

The party continued into the night. Laxus drank beer after beer while Mira kept bringing different drinks for Kira to try. The demon wanted her to find a favourite. Once Kira had settled on a honey malt milkshake, she had another three before she started to yawn. Laxus stood up saying farewell to everyone and pulled Kira into his arms. Lighting surged around them and they teleported to a house in the middle of the woods.

"Normally I would show you how to get here, but it's late."

He slowly opened the door to the large cabin and led Kira through the hall, pointing at doors as they went past them.

"That's Ever's, Bix's and that's Freed's. That's the bathroom that the guys use and this one is Ever's, but they really wont care which one you use. I have my own off my bedroom which is here." He said, stopping at the end of the hallway.

"And this is the share room, which you can use for your room if you like."

He turned and looked down at her.

"There is also a library, a gym and a music room too. I can show you those tomorrow. Now you need to sleep."

He smiled.

"Goodnight Kira."

Before he could even start to leave Kira grabbed his hand.

"You said you would sleep with me every night."

She felt heat go to her face.

"I know it was a joke, but is it ok? Just for another night?"

She looked up at him to see shock on his face. His face softened and he tightened the grip on her hand and pulled her into his room. He left her next to his bed. 'Wow that a big bed.'

Laxus moved to his dresser pulled out two shirts and a pair of boxers. He threw one of the shirts at her and walked into his bathroom.

'He must want me to change.'

She quickly changed into the shirt that was more like a dress on her and then looked around his room. Dark purple and black everywhere. The walls were dark purple. The curtains were black so were his bed sheets. The only other things in his room were his dresser and side tables.

As she finished looking around Laxus came out of his bathroom and stopped to stare at Kira.

'Dammit she looks fucking edible in my shirt.'

He shook his head to remove the thoughts and went to one side of the bed, pulling back the covers and holding out his hand to Kira. Once Kira took his hand, he pulled her close into his chest. Wrapping his arms around her waist.

"I wont do anything to you Kira, I don't want you to get scared of me." he said pulling the covers over the both of them.

"I know that Laxus and I'm not. I'm not scared of you at all, and I don't know why."

She got in close placing her hand on his chest.

"You make me feel comfortable and strangely warm"

Laxus bent his head to kiss the top of Kira's.

"I feel the same… my body wants you Kira, I wont lie about that. But I will not do anything to you without your say." He took a deep breath, smelling in her sweet scent.

She tilted her head up to meet his eyes. The room was dark but she could still make out his face.

"You might have to wait a long time," she giggled, as his fingers drew circles on her hip.

"Something tells me it will be worth waiting for." He smirked.

He bent down to kiss her forehead once more when Kira rose up pressing her lips to his, softly, ever so gently. Before pulling back away and resting her head on Laxus' chest again. His inner dragon roared with happiness as he felt the heat from Kira's face on his chest. Grabbing her hand and pulling it to his lips he placed one more small kiss on her knuckles before whispering "Goodnight Kira" and letting sleep claim them both.
