**** I don't Own Fairytail*****
- So how long are you going to stay away? It's been ages already, Lucy whined as they sat in the public bath.
-It's been little over a month; it's not that long, Sphinx corrected with eyes closed as she let her muscles relax.
-Well stop being such a chicken shit and grab the bull by the horns already, they are all back to normal anyway.
The brunette card mage said as she lifted her sake bottle up.
-Yeah, yeah,
The two women had been trying to convince Sphinx to come back to the guild for a while now. After the dragon dominance incident she had left at the first chance.
-I'm curious, what happened between the two of you anyway? Lucy said with a glance at the dark haired women.
-Nothing, nothing happened. Sphinx immediately said hopping the widening grin of Cana was just her imagination.
Sphinx was pretty sure Laxus wouldn't be the one telling people what had actually happened on that room, well the man hardly talked anyway. So she was sure that everything would be quickly put behind them, if the two women now looking at her would just let it go.
- Yeah right, your horny ass in all that male testosterone and you're saying nothing happened?
-Yes, and come on give me some credit. I may want to have a little fun with Laxus, I mean he is hot as hell but do you really think I would just give in when comes to something like dominance?
-Well you kind of did, Cana pointed out.
-I had to, Sphinx muttered looking away.
-Those two would have gone all out,
- I think it's kind of romantic, how they fight for you, Lucy said softly.
Sphinx almost choked on her drink and Cana laughed.
- There is absolutely not a single thing that's romantic about horny dragons and their ego. '
- It's the classic love triangle, well if you don't count Natsu, hmm wait is Bixlow in it as well? The Blond pondered as Sphinx snorted at her.
-Seriously you read too much of some sappy books if you see all that and still think it's romantic.
-Hah, me and love don't mix, Sphinx chuckled before giving a grin at Lucy,
-besides if we go there then come on who doesn't love me? My fairytale would be such a twisted book; but let's face it I'm smoking,
Sphinx lifted her hand to her black hair and posed to the two chuckling women.
- Alright someone drop this bitch from her high horse. And I think your book would be more like, 'watch out for the man-eater' or 'the tale of the horny minx'
Cana said between laughed as Sphinx scoffed at her halfheartedly.
-I'm never going to lose the 'minx' -title am I,
-I will totally write it for you, Lucy laughed as they continued to banter the dark hared female.
- Yeah right, she would totally corrupt your innocent little mind Lucy, Cana pointed out.
- Hey, you would be in that book as well so don't try to act all pure you little skank, Sphinx splashed a little water at the two before getting up and going to dress.
- How about, 'Hot as hell and deadly like sin' Lucy said as they still continued to throw names for Sphinx's imaginary book.
-uuh, I like that one, Sphinx said as she took another bite out of food.
- 'Been there done that?' Cana said
-Hell yes, Sphinx laughed with them
- This pussy got game' Cana only laughed at the glare she got from Sphinx.
- 'I came, I saw, I conquered' or maybe
- 'You can't run from the devil', Lucy said her imaginations already on how the cover would look.
- More like, 'you don't want to run from the devil', she winked at the other two.
- 'They come as I call'
- haha what kind of coming are we talking about here, Cana grinned only to high-five with laughing Sphinx.
-Seriously I'm starting to think that book would be pure porno! Lucy exclaimed at the two perverted women.
-Well not exactly, it would have its deep moment, Sphinx tried to say with a serious expression.
-Oh yeah, very deep, and something would probably be very hard to handle, Cana continued
- Yes, oh so hard, but it really good that I know to use both hands in life, by now Sphinx was having difficulties to hold in the grin as she saw Lucy get redder and redder.
- Also a lot of moments that would be really hard to swallow,
- But that's life sometimes you just got to take it, or it will take you, just thrust into you, with no mercy, Cana said as she faked a moan as she took another zip from her glass.
- Who knows how far this would go Lucy, at what length would you say, too much, because there would be some big and I mean big things that I have handled,
-Alright stop you two! Lucy said as she waved her had at them.
-But it's not all big, long and hard things. But sometimes you just want a little more a little different,
- And that's when twins come on hand, Cana
-Oh, Mavis! You two are such perverts.
-Don't look at me, twins was all Cana. Sphinx lifted her hands in front of her.
Both women busted out laughing at the blond expense. Lucy was red in face but soon laughed good heatedly with them. The evening went on with laughter and joking but soon it was time for the two leave with the train.
- I'll come back in a week just let me finish things here. Sphinx finally gave in and wave at the two ecstatic expression.
- Oh, yeah Lucy. Do you mind giving a message for Natsu? Sphinx asked making the blond mage tilt her head in confusion.
-Yeah, sure, what is it?
- The next time I see him, I'm going to kick his ass, this time the grin wasn't a happy friendly one no Sphinx's eyes seemed to darken as her predatory smirk ghosted her features.
-Sure, Lucy shivered at her expression but couldn't help but smile back. After all Natsu really deserved it.
-Hey, is there any chance you're daddy dearest is in town? Sphinx suddenly said as they trailed the small path through the woods.
Cana glanced at her friend she, the way she avoided her gaze and voice sounded so uncertain told her that something was up.
- Okay what's up, you have been making excuses against going to the guild for a while now? Cana said putting her hands on her hip.
-Well, the thing with Laxus, he might not be too happy about it,
Cana studied her friend. So that's why she dragged her to go shopping, Sphinx hatted shopping. She was trying to avoid Laxus.
- I though nothing happened between the two of you?
- I didn't, she says instantly,
- But… Cana said stretching the word.
- I may have left a bit suddenly, Sphinx grimace as her friend eyes widened.
- You ran! Didn't you? Cana said accusingly.
- The minute he fell asleep, Sphinx confessed while her head fell down comically.
Sphinx crossed her hand over her gray jacket and looked away. Cana couldn't help but let out a few chuckles at her behaviors.
-How? Just how on earth did you escape Laxus Dreyar? Cana said loud, this she had to know.
Last time the man held a death grip on Sphinx, how on earth she managed to slip away from the man. Her face might have been cover with a veil again but the way her eyes narrowed to a frown did the about how uncomfortable she felt.
- I have my ways, she huffed at Cana,
-Nop, not working on me, now spill. Cana said while practically ignoring the death glared she received.
- I may have, Shin turned to look at the dark forest,
-I may have used 'the chains of hell', Sphinx murmured quietly.
-WHAT! Are you saying you chained Laxus Dreyar and left him there?! The laughter echoed in the forest around them.
Sphinx scowled at her not finding it amusing at all.
- All these things just keep happening to you, one after another! Seriously this just made my night!
Cana continued forward grabbing her friend by the arm and started to drag her towards the guild, ignoring the whiny woman's complaints.
Wait were is Cana?
The card mage was always here on Friday nights. Bixlow scanned threw the guild again; sure enough there was no sign of the loud drunken brunette. The seith mage sat straighter as he looked for clues. A grin came to his face as he found his next target. Letting one of his wooden dolls fly across the guild where a certain blond and blue hared mages sat.
-It was so embarrassing Lucy,
-Don't worry about it Levi, I'm sure he didn't see anything; Lucy desperately tried to sheer up the red faced Levi.
- How can I ever see him again?
- Look it can be that bad, I'm sure your both going to forget about it soon,
- Well, she's finally back, Evergreen suddenly said making Bixlow true around almost falling of his chaired.
- Look who I brought back, Cana said in loud voice much to the masked woman's annoyance.
That seemed to brighten the script mages evening as she happily waved them over. The group asked about Sphinx and what had happened during her absence.
-Wait what, you and Jet? Finally happening? Sphinx said as she pointed at the blushing blunette.
-Well he asked me on a date two weeks ago, Levi confessed but soon started to tell about today's misfortune.
- I was sure Jet was there, I mean, I would never act so boldly otherwise, Levi said as she looked down to her lap.
- So who was it, Cana said curiously.
-Max, the short woman squeaked turning redder and redder.
It took a lot of effort not to laugh her adorable cuteness but Sphinx managed. Laying a hand on her shoulder she smiled at Levi.
-I'm so proud of you, Sphinx exclaimed,
- I bet if Jet had seen you come in there with only a towel he would have fainted.
-My, my, our little Levi being naughty. I'm starting to feel like such a prude soon, quick Sphinx we have got to get some action before these two take away our reputation,
-Im not naughty! Levi exclaimed before burring her red face into her hands.
- Cana, you were supposed to cheer her up not make her feel even more embarrassed.
-Oh well then, I have a good one; the sly look she sent towards Sphinx had her sighing, she already knew what came next.
-Guess who chained Laxus and ran the chance she got,
Both of the women faces turned towards the embarrassed Sphinx, who avoided their gaze the best she could.
- What, no, the excitement was so present in Lucy's voice it made Sphinx scuffed at her.
-Where exactly and how did you managed that? Levi pressed on now much more at ease as she wasn't the target of their teasing.
- Against the wall, she murmured quickly.
All of them laughed at her obvious discomfort,
- Well, that's one way; Lucy taunted the grumbling Sphinx who lowered her head to table.
- I bet his going to be a little angry, Levi said grinning at the dark haired mage.
- Well, he can be angry all he wants, I'm not scared, and he was asking for it, Sphinx said putting up a brave front.
- Oh, that good because, HEY LAXUS, Canan suddenly yelled.
Sphinx literally jumped from her seat as she twisted to look behind her, she felt her heart stop as her blue eyes searched the guild, only to find no Laxus.
-yeah, not scared at all, Cana said between as she slumber on the table laughing.
-Cana, Sphinx growled at her friend while trying to get her heart to stop racing.
-That was hilarious, Levi chocked also earning glare from the woman.
-A so that's what those marks were all about, came a playful voice from behind them.
Bixlow ignored the cold look he received from Sphinx and sat down the table.
-He had two chunks ripped out of the stone wall, didn't say what they were when I asked.
-What ripped off? Are you serious? Sphinx looked wide eyed.
-Yeah, why?
-oh, damn Sphinx muttered feeling even worse now.
-Those were chains of hell, not some normal chains, they should hold!
Sphinx explained as if that was obvious to the others, suddenly her voice took whiny panicking sound
- What kind on monster get loses from Hell Chains!
-Well, that's Laxus for you, Bixlow laughed at the shocked mage.
-Anyway, a little birdy told me about someone wanting a little action? The Seith mage grinned at Cana who winked at him.
-Bix it's not nice to eavesdrop. Lucy scowled.
-hah, say that to the Dragon Slayers, the man only laughed.
-Let's play a game, Bixlow said suddenly
-What kind of game? Levi said.
-A very simple game, it's a very good way to get to know each other,
-Why do I not like the sound of that?
Sphinx said while crossing her arms looking very suspiciously at the helmet wearing mage.
-Come on Sphinx, we should have a little fun, Cana taunted.
-but shouldn't we ask more people? Levi said
-You right, Bixlow said before calling out to the bar,
-Lisanna and Kinana! Come over.
-Is it just me or are you only inventing women? Lucy lifted one suspicious eyebrow at the male.
-maybe,
- Uh, Gajeel want to play? Levi asks not bothering to yell as she knew their hearing was good enough.
Huh, Gajeel's here
A grunt was heard before the dark hared man sate at the table. It did mildly surprise everyone, the man normally stayed in his shadowed corner. Levi on the other hand grinned like she clearly knew more about something. Sphinx was about to ask but somehow her eyes found the red ones of the iron dragon slayer. He let his eyes slowly ran up and down her visible upper body.
She may have worn her jacket and veil but somehow it seemed like it didn't matter to his eyes. The heat the red eyes held made her want to lick her lips. It was ridiculous, how could Gajeel make her heat up from just looking.
Damn it, Cana was right. Maybe I've been avoiding men for too long and now all the frustration is coming to smack me in the ass, hmm, I wish Gajeel would maybe smack me in the ass.
Shit concentrate, cool it woman.
Almost as in reading her thoughts the man gave her that devilish grin he had and set her inside on fire.
Damn it!
-Well then how about Loke?
Lucy said while taking her key out totally obvious about the others heated exchange.
- Princess you called? The leader of the zodiac bowed before greeting everyone.
-What kind of game are we talking about? Lisanna asked as she sat down, Kinana had to stay and mind the bar.
- First we take a bottle and make it spin, and then we ask the lovely Cana for a deck of cards that are from 1-8 and if the bottle stops at you, well take a card and see what you have to do.
-Okay I'm out, Sphinx said immediately, this had catastrophe written all over it.
-Come on; don't be like that, Bixlow said while grinning at her.
-Nop, I have been going deeper and deeper into all kind of shit because of bad ideas. She had serious look as she dared Cana to say anything.
-Well how about this then, the Seith mage said as he leaned towards her a little.
-You play and I'll make sure Laxus doesn't fry your ass from you stunt,
Now that's tempting
-Hmm, how can you be so sure? Are you sure his going to go through with it? Sphinx hoped with a little hope in her voice.
-Sure, I've known him for ages. You shouldn't doubt my pervasions skills. Bixlow instantly answered.
Sphinx looked at the man suspiciously; well she wouldn't die from a little game, would she? Then again she might die when the lighting dragon gets here.
- Deal, I'll play and you keep Laxus from frying my ass.
Sphinx said while extending her hand to Bixlow who shock it eagerly. As tension left her body she gave the first grin of the night at her friend but soon froze when she head Bixlow yell.
- YO LAXUS, you cool with that,
Sphinx felt her stomach drop and her blood drain as she slowly turned to look up towards the second floor. Blue gray eyes stared straight at her with a dangerous smirk on his face.
Oh shit, oh, shit, Sphinx was pretty sure he could hear her heartbeat.
- You playing? Bixlow said as he grinned at the nervousness Sphinx.
-Definitely, his voice was just as low and powerful as she remembered sending that awfully sinful tremor down her spine.
I just got played by Bixlow, I'm going to die
