Chapter 8
(Scene: edge of Magnolia)
Metalicana was enjoying the walk through the city. There wasn't any fighting or problems that crossed his path. The birds were chirping and felt a good breeze coming through the streets. The town's people were chatting and selling amongst each other. Over all, it was pretty calm and peaceful. Though there were some ladies that were checking him out and are most likely imagining him in their beds. He chuckled when he thought of that. Sure he may be a dragon and all, but that doesn't mean that doesn't find humans attractive and right now, he thinks that he's pretty good looking to the human females right now. Not many people can pull off that punk look while being in a suit (he knows that his son couldn't).
He just left the city gates and was beginning to get into the forest before he turned and growled. "You should get out now. You know how much I hate it when someone's stalking me." There was a bit of grumbling before Igneel and Grandine came out from behind a large crate. Igneel chuckled.
"Right, sorry about that. Kind of forgot." Igneel said while scratching the back of his head sheepishly. Grandine merely rolled her eyes.
"Why are you here and weren't you two in the infirmary when I left?"
"Oh yeah, we were." Igneel said, "We were only talking about some things in private."
"Though I think we should have used the door when we left." Grandine said, remembering the way they left the guild.
"How did you guys leave?"
Igneel just chuckled while Grandine face palmed.
(Meanwhile in Fairy Tail)
"Igneel and Grandine sure have been in there for a while." Mira said while staring at the door that led to the infirmary.
"What do you think they're doing?" Erza asked before stuffing her mouth her some of her strawberry cake.
"I bet they're going at it in there!" Wakaba yelled out with a perverted grin and a nose bleed. Erza threw her fork at him, just missing his face by a few centimeters.
"Don't make such vulgar suggestions." Erza commanded.
"YES MA'AM!" Wakaba saluted. Makarov sighed before walking to the infirmary to see the two dragons. He nearly had a heart attack when he saw the room.
"AAAGGGHHHHHH!"
"What happened Master?!" Erza yelled out. She and Mira quickly got inside the infirmary to see the problem. Actually, what was left of the Infirmary…
"My precious guild!" Makarov sobbed as he saw a massive hole in the wall. Actually, the whole wall was gone. They couldn't help but feel sorry for their Master when he has to pay for the damage. They also noticed some burned marks around the edges of the hole…
(Back with the dragons)
"Is there anything you guys need?" Metalicana asked. Igneel nodded before getting serious.
"Yeah, there is. I want you to ask Weissologia and Skiadrum if they sensed something from Sabertooth. If they did, find out what and tell me when you return." Metalicana nodded before asking.
"Is it about that thing you sense? The one that could be the threat?" Igneel nodded. His irises began to gain a golden color and growled.
"I'm not sure but I know that it has something to do with the demons." Grandine and Metalicana tensed up. "Be prepared for anything while you're there okay? I don't want anything happening to you. Got it?"
Metalicana smiled and chuckled at Igneel's behavior. "I promise that I won't get hurt Igneel. I swear sometimes it feels I'm being treated like a little hatchling. You're over protective you know that?" A few tick marks appeared on Igneel's forehead.
"I'm not over protective!" Igneel yelled in a comical way with fire spewing out of his mouth.
"Believe what you want, fire-gecko." Metalicana said before snickering.
"How dare you call the mighty Igneel a gecko!?" Igneel roared before Grandine held Igneel back while Metalicana left toward Sabertooth. He couldn't wait to see Skiadrum again. Igneel cooled down and his eyes went back to being onyx after seeing Metalicana's silhouette disappear. Igneel felt Grandine loosen her arms around him and let him go. He was about to follow Metalicana again until he was pushed down to the ground.
"You are not following him," Grandine said in a low growl. "He needs his time to be alone with his little mate." Igneel simply stared at the woman (or dragonelle) that pushed him down and is now on top of him. He gave her a wicked smile.
"Alright, I'll leave him alone, but~" he growled lowly, "that means you have to keep me company." Igneel finished before capturing her lips.
Grandine enjoyed feeling Igneel warm and rough lips and returned the kiss with passion and hunger. Igneel pressed his tongue against Grandine's lips asking for entrance, to which she complied with gusto. Their kiss soon became a make out session, both fighting for dominance and neither submitting to the other. The two eventually separated their sweet and wet tongue dual due to the need of oxygen.
"I really missed this…" Grandine panted out. Igneel didn't reply. Instead, he lowered down to her neck and began kissing her smooth skin. Grandine moaned and squirm when Igneel teases her neck with his tongue.
Igneel pulled back saw several hickies on his mate's neck. He smirked and wrestled her until he was the one on top.
"I missed this too," Igneel purred out as his hands explored Grandine's thighs and waist.
"I hope you're ready for more my little dragonelle." Igneel said huskily with lust present in his eyes. The two began to kiss again and began to feel each others bodies. Igneel's hands trailed from Grandine's long toned legs up to her waist and finally her well endowed chest. His left hand squeezed the right breast while he continued his kiss with the woman underneath him.
Grandine separated the kiss and panted, "We should go somewhere more private, like your son's house."
Igneel eagerly nodded and carried Grandine bridal style and sprinted towards Natsu's house. He left a massive dust trail as he ran at inhuman speeds (normal for a dragon though).
(Scene: North Magnolia with Natsu.)
Natsu has been running to the Strauss' house for a good fifteen minutes before stopping in front of the house. He was about to knock before he hesitated. He doesn't know if he could talk to Lisanna right now. It's not like he didn't want to, it's just that he couldn't think at the moment. He hasn't been thinking straight since his little talk with Wendy.
'Wendy'. He thought with confusion and worry. He couldn't stop thinking about his talk with her. He still remembered everything perfectly.
(Flashback)
They were at a nearby park where the cherry blossom trees were. The park was about three blocks away from the guild. Natsu was sitting under the biggest tree while Wendy was sitting across from him. Wendy couldn't stop staring at the ground. He still didn't know what Wendy wanted to talk to him about but it must be serious if she was this nervous and had to talk to him without anyone around. Natsu decided to break the silence.
"Is there something wrong Wendy?"
"Y-yeah, I think so." Wendy was still looking at the ground so Natsu cupped her cheeks gently and held her up to see her eyes.
"What is it?"
"I need to tell you that you need to be careful and to keep an eye on Lisanna." Natsu's eyes widened.
"Why? Did something happen to Lisanna?" Natsu asked. Wendy shook her head.
"No, nothing happened to Lisanna. I just need to tell you to be careful because I think someone might try to make a move on Lisanna." Wendy flinched when she saw Natsu's eyes turning into black slits and began to growl. He took a few deep breaths before speaking.
"Do you know who would do that?"
"I'm not sure but I saw Laxus staring at Lisanna yesterday. The glint he had in his eyes when he was staring at Lisanna made me worried for her. The same when Bickslow couldn't stop glaring at you when he heard that you were with Lisanna." Both dragon slayers stayed in silence after that. Neither of them spoke nor moved from their spots for a good minute before Natsu stood up.
"Thanks for telling me Wendy."
"Y-you're welcome." Wendy stood up and went back to the guild with Natsu behind her. The walk back was better as Natsu calmed down and told her some jokes and amazing tricks with his magic. She was enjoying the tricks he showed, especially the one where he made small fire dragons slithering around his arms. Before they knew it they were already at the guild.
"That was amazing Natsu-san." Wendy said after Natsu finished with all of his tricks. "Could you teach me how to do some of those things?" Natsu gave her his signature smile.
"Sure anytime!"
Before they could get inside, Wendy tripped on a rock and began to fall. Natsu tried to help her from hitting the ground by grabbing her arms but instead…
He fell with her and crashed to the ground. He found himself on the ground with Wendy top. He tried to get up but instead he accidently went and crashed his lips with Wendy's. Their eyes widened and quickly separated and stood up from the ground, both sporting heavy blushes. Natsu stop stuttering.
"I-I'm sorry Wendy I-I didn't mean to-"
"It's okay Natsu. It was an accident." Wendy interrupted and just went into the guild, her blush never leaving her.
'So soft…" Natsu thought.
(Flashback Ends)
Not long after that, Natsu asked where Lisanna was and sprinted to Lisanna as fast as he could. Should he tell her that they kissed? No. The kiss was just an accident and it won't help with his situation. He still couldn't believe that Laxus and Bickslow are interested in Lisanna. He hopes that they won't try to do anything to her.
Natsu sighed and knocked on the door. It didn't take long before Lisanna opened the door. She was wearing an apron with some smudges on it. Is that cookie dough? Lisanna's eyes brightened up when she saw Natsu.
"Natsu it's good to see you here!" She gave him a quick hug, Natsu hugging her back. Natsu gave her a nervous smile.
"H-hey Lis-chan." Lisanna looked at Natsu in the eyes with a bit of concern.
"Are you okay Natsu?"
"Of course I am! W-why did you ask?"
"Because you just stuttered and I know that you don't stutter." Natsu knew that he couldn't really lie to her so he took a deep breath and sighed.
"OK. You got me. I'm just a little worried that's all."
"About what?"
Natsu sighed for the… how many times had he sighed? Anyway, he explained his little talk with Wendy. He told her the part Laxus staring at her and Bickslow glaring at Natsu in envy and possibly hatred, everything but the part of him accidently kissing Wendy. By the time Natsu was done, Lisanna gave him a small smile.
"You don't have to worry about me Natsu. You know me. I would never cheat on you." She brought her hand to his cheek. "Remember when we were little that we would wait for each other until we were older, right? And we kept that promise."
"Yeah, I do and I'm so happy about that." He leaned it and gave her a quick, but also loving, kiss. Natsu was about to give her a second one before smelling something.
"Something's burning."
"My cookies!" Lisanna gasped. She quickly went to the kitchen to pull a tray full of, slightly crisped, cookies out of the oven. Natsu took a deep breath and grinned.
"Are those white chocolate macadamia?" He asked while trying to get a cookie before Lisanna slapped his hand away from the cookies.
"Yes, they are and they're for Asuka and Wendy." Natsu tensed up from hearing Wendy's name and Lisanna noticed it.
"What happened?"
"Wendy…"
"What about her? Is she okay?" Natsu didn't really know how to tell Lisanna about Wendy's new age so he'll tell her later.
"Oh no she's fine, it's just that… she changed a bit."
"Oh, well okay then. In that case do you want to stay tonight? I'm sure that Mira and Elfman will be fine with it. Would you like to help me make some more cookies?"
"Sure! I would like that." Natsu began helping Lisanna with the rest of the cookies (along with eating a few) and cleaned up the mess they made (they had a small food fight with the cookie dough).
They eventually finished and went to the couch and began to watch some movies from the lacrima screen. Lisanna got closer to Natsu and laid her head on his shoulder. Natsu then wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"I love you Natsu." Lisanna cooed before kissing his cheek.
"I love you too Lisanna." Natsu said kissing her back and then going back to the movie. Despite watching the movie and being with his girl (or mate), he still couldn't get that kiss out of his head.
'Even though it was an accident, it still felt nice…the same feeling I have when kissing Lisanna.' Natsu thought. He hoped that he can talk to Wendy about it later. Probably tomorrow. But for now, he'll be enjoying the movie with Lisanna and then have some dinner with her and her siblings. Hopefully they won't kill when they find him in her bed tonight.
(Meanwhile with Sabertooth)
Sabertooth was partying hard. Everyone at the guild was partying because of Sting and Yukino are finally going out. It was very romantic. Sting confessed to her in the middle of the guild and even had on a suit and was on one knee. The guild was ecstatic and crazy when she said yes, mostly because people made a bet of who Yukino would go out with. It's amazing how much money they put on Sting and Rouge…
Anyway, Sting and Yukino were talking with Rufus while Orga was trying to beat Weisslogia in arm wrestling…again.
"Argh! Nuhh! Ahhhh!" Orga couldn't stop struggling with the arm wreslting match, despite his size and strength, he still couldn't make Weisslogia budge.
"Come on, I'm pretty sure we all know that you can't beat me."
"No! I know I can win. I just have to push harder." Orga put that last of his strength before passing out. Weisslogia looked under the table to see Orga's limp body and sighed.
"That's the thirteenth time in a row…" Sting said before turing to the crowd, "Alright, time to pay up!"
The whole guild groaned when they pulled out their wallets. Before Weisslogia and Orga began their arm wrestling, the whole guild made a bet. The bet was that Orga could beat Weisslogia in an arm wrestling competition at least once. Most of the guild put their money on Orga. The only ones that betted for Weisslogia to win was Sting, Rogue, Lector, Frosche and Yukino. To be honest, the guild didn't know what they were thinking when they were doing the bet.
As people were paying the winners, Skiadrum walked towards Weisslogia, "How did that human do?"
Weisslogia chuckled, "He did good, he was stronger than I thought, though he wasn't strong enough to beat me."
"I don't know many creatures that can beat you gramps." Weisslogia growled.
"Who are you callin' gramps?!"
"Relax you old dragon, I'm was only joking, sort of." Before Weisslogia could reply, they heard an explosion. The guild turned to see that one of the walls of the guild was smashed to pieces. It practically took up the entire side of the building. Smoke and debris was flying everywhere.
"My guild!" Sting yelled in despair. Everyone else wondered who could have caused their damage. They saw a silhouette coming out of the smoke.
"You guys were having a party and you didn't invite me? That's pretty mean." The figure said before coming out of the smoke. Skiadrum's eyes gleamed with happiness and a bit of anger. She quickly got up and pounced on the figure.
"Metalicana!" She shrieked in happiness. Metalicana simply stretched his arms out, expecting his mate to jump in his arms. What he didn't expect though was a small fist connecting with his face.
"Idiot! You should have told me when you were coming!" Skiadrum yelled before aiming another fist at his face. Metalicana caught her fist and sighed.
"Why do I have to tell you? I thought you would like me showing up unexpected."
"It's not that I, it's just that… I-" Skiadrum got interrupted by a certain white dragon.
"What are you doing Metalicana?! You can't just destroy part of the guild and walk off like nothing happened!" Weisslogia yelled with some noticeable tick marks. Metalicana just smirked.
"What are you talking about you old gecko? I don't see a problem with it."
"Gecko?!"
"What wrong, you starting to lose your hearing already?" Metalicana teased. It didn't last long as Weisslogia punched him across the guild and into the wall. Metalicana got out of the wall and rubbed his cheek.
"Not bad but you need a lot more than that to beat me!" Metalicana roared and dashed toward the white dragon with his fists. Weisslogia was doing the same. It was pandemonium when they collided.
Nearly the whole guild reacted with the two dragons and either joined the fight or hid from the guild brawl. It was like Natsu and Igneel all over again. Yukino and the exceeds hid behing one of the knocked down tables.
"This is crazy!" Lector screech when he saw a Sabertooth member landing in front of them, with a few of his teeth missing.
"Fro thinks so too." Frosche said without much care in the world.
"Do you think Sting-sama will stop the fight?" Yukino asked before dodging a bottle.
"I don't think so." Lector said before looking behind the table and seeing their young guild master throwing around some members.
"Oh yeah! Come on who's next? I want a real challenge!" Five members stepped up to his challenge, two of them being Rufus and Rogue. Sting gave off a playful, yet cocky grin.
"Ah yeah! I'M GETTING ALL FIRED UP!"
(Somewhere else)
*a-choo*
"Are you okay Natsu?" Lisanna asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Someone must be using my catch phrase..." Both mages shrugged it off and continued to watch the romantic (and steamy) movie.
(Back to Sabertooth)
After two hours of the guild fighting things finally began to cool down. Half of Sabertooth left the guild to go back home while the other half just stayed and relax or to go to the infirmary. Rogue was sitting on one of the few non-broken tables with a mug of beer. Metalicana came up and sat next to him.
"So…you're rogue eh?" Metalicana asked.
"Yeah, and you're Gajeel's dragon."
"Yep. I got to say, my mate really wanted me to see you. I don't see why though." Rogue tilted his head in confusion.
"Your mate? Who's your mate?" Rogue question.
"I thought you knew already. My mate is your mother, Skiadrum."
"Skiadrum?! Really?!" Rogue eyes were as big as saucers and his jaw dropped. Metalicana couldn't help but laugh at the young man.
"HAHAHA! The look on your face is priceless! I wish I had a camera." Metalicana then wrapped his arm around the dragon slayer's shoulders. "Welcome to the family…son." The metal dragon teased and smirked when he saw Rogue's cheeks turning pink.
"T-thanks, I guess."
The two continued to talk until Skiadrum joined in and began to make out with her respective mate. The two got so caught with each other that they didn't notice a crimson faced Rogue leaving.
A/N: That's the eighth chapter! I'm sorry for not updating any sooner but now that Finals are over I'll be able to write more often and make up for the lost time.
PS. My editor REFUSED to read the little scene between Igneel and Grandine. I couldn't stop snickering when I saw his face and actions.
Flaredragon out.
