**I dont own fairytail***

She register the softly humming and the hand that stroke her bare arm even before her mind woke up. Even in her subconscious state Sphinx could recognize his presence. For once this was the kind of wake up she liked.

- Ready to face the world baby?

Sphinx could feel his breath on her neck making a shiver go down her back. Letting out a low purr the black hared female started to move. Her legs soon hit the person next to her and she slowly twisted her body to her side.

- No, she murmured and slowly started to open her eyes.

The man chuckled and lifted a hand to her face running his fingers lightly over her cheek. Sphinx frowned at the man before leaning closer and taking the helmet of his head. Lazy blue eyes looked over his features before a satisfied smile came to her lips.

- Hey Bixlow,

- It's not; am I ready to face the world, it's is the world ready to face me?

A grin spread to the seith mages face before he let out a few laughs.

- So what are you doing in my humble domain? Sphinx murmured as she took in his handsome features.

He lay on his side while leaned on one arm while he held the other one between them. Letting her eyes follow his strong neck to his wide chest and tall frame. He was there like a male model posing for a calenderer.

yummy, though he should be only wearing a lot less for that,

It was a very nice site in the morning, no, very pleasing site to wake up to. Sure Sphinx was a little anxious and nervous with his feeling towards her but right now, right here, in this very moment Sphinx felt at ease with him. His soothing energy played with her predatory aura. Her eyes flicked up to his face as that tongue of his licked his lips in a slow manner.

He looks rather sensual in my cave; Sphinx almost smirked at her own thoughts,

It was in her nature to be a bit territorial over her 'cave' and he being there had her own possessive instincts gear up. Though lately it she had felt it a lot more than usual. However right at this moment she was too busy in appreciating the prey that had voluntarily searched her company.

So it wasn't her fault.

She had to admire his soft looking lips to his red eyes and unique tattoo. His eyes would practically dance with mischief just like his totems did. There he lay in the soft blankets so close that she could feel his body yet they didn't make contact.

-About that, I saw something really interesting. He mused while the mirth in his eyes seemed to deepen.

- I actually came across a slightly shocked Mira at the guild, who was in the process of calling Wendy.

Oh, that yeah, I probably should have left a note.

-Apparently when she came to open the bar there was three unconscienced men chained together with black chains'.

Sphinx only nodded; as she lazily listened to the man go on. She knew exactly what he was talking about, but instead of actually feeling guilty about it Sphinx slowly got up on all fours and a naughty plan soon formed.

- So they were in a pretty bad sh-.. Bixlows sentence died in his mouth as he saw her stretch in front of him.

- They were in what? Sphinx asked sighing as she slowly rolled her back,

-They, t-they were in a pretty bad shape, he forced the words out while feeling his stomach flip,

- How so? Sphinx asked while looking over her shoulder at him.

-Someone h-had given them a b-beating, he explained while his eyes roamed over her every inch.

She was so flexible when she stretched that it just had his mind playing all kinds of position they could make. He knew that she was doing this on purpose but still he couldn't help but be affected. She looked just so raw and gorgeous when she looked at him like that.

- and? She purred at him,

-Well, um,

It felt pointless to try form words when she started to crawl towards him while smirking, but she still urged him on.

-They looked, oh Mavis; Bixlow felt his breath hitch as Sphinx made him lean back on the blankets.

Again he felt powerless while looking up at this feral creature. Her aura surrounded him like blanket and her eyes seemed to strip him naked.

-What did they look like?

Her face dipped closer to his face making the dim light hitting her eyes in an angel. It was the first time Bixlow realized that her eyes were reflective, like a true predators.

It made her feel even more unnatural; the feeling quickly escalated and had him swallow a nervous feeling in his gut. It was like the whole atmosphere changed into a darker and secluded place and when she let out that feral noise she often made it had the hair on the back of his neck rising.

He really as in the den of a predator, that rational voice in his mind told him to get it together and don't sink into such temptation. He could feel her soul singing a dark tune, a tune that warned him and a tune that made his own soul twist restlessly. Yet he felt more excitement stir in him than fear.

-Tell me, she commanded in that velvet voice,

Instantly he tried to focus on what had he even been talking about but she was not making it easy. Shaking his head a little he finally caught his earlier subject,

-Scared, they l-looked scared.

The seith managed to chock just as Sphinx hovered over his neck her full lips fluttering over his earlobe.

- Why do you think they were scared? She whispered to his ear.

His heart was beating so loud that he was positive it was trying to escape from his chest. Her hand ran over his chest, it didn't matter that he had clothes on. She still managed to lit every nerve and cell in his body.

- They said, they said that they saw something, his turned his face a little to catch those blue eyes again.

The men hand been a lot more specific about whom they saw and he knew the very person was currently hovering over him in only a thin top and a pair of shorts. It almost seemed impossible to believe that such a beautiful creature was capable of such unforgiving power.

But from the minute he stepped into her cave he felt the difference. Something had changed, she seemed somehow different, somehow more. It was difficult to even try to comprehend in his mind, near impossible to put in words. Something hand changed in her from the last time he saw her.

Again her eyes gave that bizarre reflection. Bixlow lifted his hand to her face and let his finger run threw her hair. A sigh escaped him, there were so many questions.

-Why are you so complicated?

He didn't expect her to answer; it was more him thinking out loud. A low growl came from her and it instantly seemed to roll down his chest to his stomach where the heat kept pooling. His hand instantly pulled her down, his lips eager to taste hers.

The world disappeared as once again she put a spell on him. He couldn't contain the groan when she took his lower lip in her mouth and gave a little suck. Feverishly he grabbed her, rolling them over so he could finally have her under him.

Lowering himself over her small body, he had to groan again at the pure sensation of her against him. Energies clashed, heating their skin and the way she moaned had his mind spinning.

My perfect match.

His hungrily tasted her lip, he wanted to take his time but for some reason he felt that he needed to hurry, that this was his chance. His hand traveled south, greedily pushing her top up, longing to feel her skin. He felt that soft warm skin and sighed,

How could someone be so perfect? How could someone feel so good?

Again she let out a pleased groan and Bixlow took it as a permission to go further. Gliding his hand over her ribcage her felt his muscles tightened and anticipation grow. His fingers brushed against her sensitive skin and he was rewarded with another moan. He let his fingertips draw the round shape of her under boob.

He wanted to feel and taste her; he wanted her to keep making those sinful noises because of him. The seith mage had dreamt and hoped to someday be right here like this, but even in his wildest dreams it he never imagined the insane want and need he felt for her right now. He never wanted this to stop.

Bixlow contained himself the best he could, he wasn't going to attack like a mad man no he needed to make a lasting impression. Give her the worship she deserved. He was panting against her but he still managed to keep his fingers moving smoothly over her skin, her hot, soft, tempting skin.

It tickled and felt wonderful at the same time, Sphinx's body shook like a leaf from the sensation and she fell the overpowering feeling to just sink into this energy. Bixlow's lust and her carnal hunger mused perfectly with each other and had her almost wet just from the atmosphere.

The demon in her roared in yearning, demanding her to finally have a little more of him. It yearned to make him bring her pleasure, yearned to feed of this intoxicating feeling and energy. For once they had the same goal, everything felt more intense now.

Her hand found its way to his neck and she all but ripped him off her lips and shoved his head to her neck. She may be under him but it was his mistake to ever think that he had the control. Her back came of the blankets and her head tilted back allowing him more access. It was such turn on when she shivered and moved against him.

And it was because of him,

She responded to his energy like no one before her, inviting, accepting and demanding it. She showed her lust and passion so strongly. She may be pulling the strings but he would be her puppet if it ever got him the chance to earn more of her moans.

Taking one of her beautiful breasts in his hand he gave it a round movement and while his thumb found its way to the erect nipple. Again she let out a noise between moan and a purr at his menstruating. Fingers dag into his hair, pulling it softly, just as her hip came up and she rolled against his erection, making him hiss.

Curses flew against her skin as she moved her body so sinfully against his. He wanted her so badly he felt like exploding right there. Her controlled but agile movement s had his resolve crumbling and the self-control he thought he had had broken. The delicate touching became more firm as he pushed the fabric way up.

He wanted her naked faster and was just about to fist his and in the top and plain rip it off her body when he heard something that had them both freeze.

Just like last time fate was against them as Bixlow was suddenly flung off her. In a blink she was up and off the pit of blankets. The seith mage had hard time comprehending things after her quick throw. Sphinx was crouching in front of him just at the opening of her sleeping pit, with her back towards him.

-Sphinx? He questioned still feeling his head spin.

Instead of answering she let out a loud animalistic sound that echoed in the cave. Instantly Bixlow felt his breathing stop as her black horns and tail suddenly appeared. Like a wave the atmosphere changed into a heavy and smothering.

The change was so drastic it had the hunger pushed away by uneasiness. The seith mage watched in alarm as she stared at the entrance as in ready to bounce.

-So this is the cave everyone talks about,

That voice he knew. A long annoyed and frustrated noise left Bixlow as he let his head fall to the blankets. Why on earth does he have to like the same chick he liked?

He would kick Laxus as if he could. Running both of his hand threw his hair Bixlow let out a sigh,

What a mood killer, just when thinking was getting good. This is some cruel irony,

After hearing about all the bad way she had been awoken Bixlow had decided to be the one who would give her the best waking. The perfect opportunity came sooner than he had expected when this morning he had walked to the guild finding a chaotic situation. It didn't take long to pinpoint that Sphinx had something to do with it.

She had been the one who closed the bar and Bixlow could somehow pick up her lingering magic near the beaten men. So he had volunteered to go and see if she was alright. He also felt a little guilty of his own behaviors and almost yelling at her about her ex. It had annoyed him so much that he had been unable to control his emotion.

But Cana was right; a woman like Sphinx was bound to have some men still after her. And even in this moment technically she was still single. It was frustrating and annoying yet if she wasn't single it would mean she would be out of his reach as well.

Unless she would actually be his,

Bixlow looked up just as Laxus walked from around the corner. There was some lightning running over his body making him radiant as ever in the dim cave. Sphinx straightened a little and growled again at the intruder. Secretly it made Bixlow a little happy how Sphinx was reacting at Laxus. At least it seemed at this point he was higher in Sphinx 'book' than Laxus,

- Get out, Sphinx said with labored breathing.

Bixlow turned his eyes at the female who was panting a little. Her sharp looking tail sliced the air in an aggressive manner. His momentarily joy was quickly gone; the seith mage got a bad feeling. Laxus stopped with a serious gaze expression, his arms dropped from his chest and he observed the situation.

-Get out dragon, she growled at him,

It had been a long time since she had used that tone with him but he would ever forget it either. Laxus glanced behind her were Bixlow lay without his mask looking confused. Their eyes briefly met but Sphinx quickly stepped so she broke their contact.

-Sphinx? Bixlow asked again,

Something was definitely up with her, she said Dragon not Laxus. Bixlow felt a flashback of their previous fights.

Again her aura had intensified and Bixlow could feel it push on him mercilessly, no, it intruding him. Her eyes were still blue but they seemed to shine in the darkness. Her whole being was tense and he could feel the aggression oozing of her. Laxus took a step forward instantly making her snarl at him.

- Get out of my cave dragon, She all but growled at him.

Sphinx knew she was panting hard, her fist were clenches and shacking, again wave after wave of rage went over not giving her time to think rationally. Her primitive instincts had taken over her control slipped without her even knowing, giving room to the simple animalistic predator in her.

How dare this man just waltz into her area? How dare he look at her pray? The dragons and their arrogance, it infuriated her to the core.

Her muscles tensed, reading her for attack. Her mindset was set on defending her territory even if the said intruder's aura was much stronger than her.

- Sphinx, the blond slayer said warily,

Laxus was quick to interpret her body language. After all he had to keep a watch over the other slayers, so it came naturally to him. The tail that moved behind her was new but one thing was for sure, she was not happy about him being there. The snarl she gave him was even had him hesitating, this wasn't the kind of aura she emitted when they last time clashed.

She was stronger,

Taking another step forwards the air around him seemed to start biting into him like millions of little needles piercing the surface of his skin, it was more frustrating and annoying then actually painful.

-What the hell? He managed to say,

Laxus could see movement behind her as Bixlow slowly got up on his knees. The way his eyes shined had a little worry go through Laxus, not because he activated his magic, more because the seith mage serious expression as he scanned Sphinx. Laxus was worried about what had his best friend looking so nervous.

- Stop, the word was not loud but the agony in it had Sphinx turn her gaze to Bixlow.

Bixlow had his arms extent towards her silently calling her to him. His expression was troubled and almost sad. She tilted her head in confusion.

Why was he like this? What did I do? Doesn't he realize there was a threat?

Sphinx still felt her anger but somehow she was unable to call it to her. It was like rain that was slowly diminishing a fire. Her mind started to kick in soon after. Her mind was tormented and in contradiction, to determent how to act what was right and how to react was all fumbled up.

Hold on? Why is Laxus here? Why is Bixlow looking at her like that?

Turning her head to look at the lighting mage she cocked an eyebrow. She didn't even get to make proper question to the two when she felt the pressure. Her knees buckled from underneath her and her vision when white. A desperate gasp for air was the only thing she managed. It hurt, it burned and it twisted and pierced her mind.

Her hand came to hug her head desperately to ease the pain she was feeling. It felt like her brain was exploding from the inside. Sphinx would have screamed if she could but even breathing was difficult.

Sphinx didn't feel the arms that enveloped her or the two others yelling.

-What do we do? She's hurting! Bixlow exclaimed while holding the squirming Sphinx in his arms. Her face was twisted in agony and he could she how her soul tried to fight the darkness.

He was panicking as he looked from Sphinx to his friend begging for an answer that he knew Laxus didn't have. He let his energy once again surround her but it was like it was instantly pushed away her aura swiping it away like it was a mere fly.

He could almost feel the hostile energy she was caged in. Her mind was stuck in some self-made protection barrier but it seemed to be working in reverse for some reason. An idea stuck him and he yelled at his friend

-Knock her out! Bixlow quickly laid Sphinx on the ground and stepped back.

-Zap her! Knock her unconscious,

Laxus looked at him hastily, he never wanted to hurt a guild member least of all her. But Bixlow was waving his hands and yelling at him.

-KNOCK HER OUT!

He lifted one hand and in a heartbeat his lightning flies out and hit its target. Sphinx's whole body lit out in bright lighting before she once again stumble on the floor this time out cold. Bixlow instantly moved to her side checking her vitals and moving her to a more comfortable place.

-What the hell just happened? Laxus asked while running agitated hand threw his hair.

Bixlow stayed silent for a minute, his hand absentmindedly moved her hair out of her face. He had placed her in the mass of blankets and pillows. A sigh escaped him.

- I don't know man, I think it's got something to do with the seal being broken, or what the ever Cana was talking about. It was like there was a battle inside of her, it was not pretty, it was brutal man,

Laxus didn't know what to say, his thoughts were raging from one extreme to the next. She had been feral, like a part of her didn't even recognize him. It had a nasty sound to it, almost like he might lose her. Quickly he averted his thoughts; there was no need to go there.

- What the hell is happening here, Bixlow said while sitting heavily on the matters beside her.

-I think it's time we get some answers, Laxus said while crossing his arms over his chest.

- Alright get up,

Sphinx groaned in pain as her moved one tired hand to her face. Her head was pounding like crazy but she knew there was no reason to try and sleep. Not that the cards mage would even let her.

-Seriously, you're two days are up, they all worried and agitated. I'm worried, shit, Sphinx! Bixlow's been up the walls, and Wendy can't find anything physically wrong,

Why do they always have to rant the first thing when people wake up?

Her eyes opened and she looked around the lite colored room. Instantly something didn't add up. This did not look like the place she last remembered.

I'm not home am I?

Slowly she sat up and looked around. Her eyes noticing Cana leaning on the wall to her right. Sphinx didn't recognize the room but somehow it felt very familiar.

-Infirmary, Cana said,

-Why am I here? Sphinx said confused,

-Laxus and Bixlow came here carrying saying something about you losing it and then Laxus zapped you,

The moment she said it Sphinx could recognize the lighting mages current still agitating her nerves. Her every muscle was hurting,

Yeah, definitely zapped me,

- So why am I here, you know I don't like hospitals,

-It's not a hospital, this is the guilds infirmary, and they weren't really in a listing mood. Cana snorted before pushing away from the wall and walking to her.

Sphinx threw the blanket off her and swung her legs off the bed. She was still wearing her sleeping clothes.

-Serious nobody thought about putting a shirt over me? Sphinx shook her head.

Cana looked at her fidgeting with her small top. She felt so much more relived now. Sphinx was alright acting like herself.

-Well maybe you should start sleeping a shirt that covers a little more.

-Tck, you're probably right. People just keep on coming in when I sleep, Sphinx muttered as she flexed her arms.

-What was Bixlow and Laxus doing at you place anyway? Cana said now getting that familiar coy edge,

-Well not what you think they were, and what I hope they would have been, Sphinx laughed at her friend as she wiggled her eyebrows.

-hmm wouldn't that be an experience, to have them both, Cana sighed,

-oh I know, all that muscle and power, I bet they would work in perfect sync. Sphinx let her imagination run wild with all the things she would want to do with the two.

Hmm, talk about sinful,

-Well they are best friend, you now, it almost could happen, Cana said with a wolfs grin.

Sphinx snorted and waved her hand dismissively,

-Yeah right,

-No I'm serious, it could happen,

- Seriously Cana, its Laxus and Bixlow were talking about. Heck, if you think those two sharing women just because their best friend it's like saying that all the other 'cliché ' stuff also happened,

Sphinx smirked and cocked an eyebrow before standing up and with a bounce Sphinx attacked her friend. A humored yell escaped Cana as her back hit the bed Sphinx had earlier been on. The grinning slayer pinned Cana hand beside her head and straddle her waist before leaning down near her face.

-It's like saying we are soon going to hook up and share men, her voice went to that smooth velvet that just made Cana's hormones wake up even if she was fully aware that it was Sphinx.

-Oh baby am all up for it, Cana joked back with a husky voice.

In some weird way looking up at the demonic looking Sphinx and having her pin her down, had the card mage wondering just what it would be like with someone like Sphinx.

- Oh really, Sphinx said while dipping to her neck growling lowly,

- I can literally see your boobs from this angel, Cana pointed out while shamelessly looking at the wide neck line.

-I think I really should start wearing a turtle neck to sleep, I always end up almost nude everywhere,

The whole situation bounced from their fake attempts to flirt to totally comical realizations.

- You got great tits so it doesn't matter, no need to cover up those girls,

Again Sphinx laughed at her friend who still kept glancing at her breasts,

- You don't have bad boob either, makes me almost want to inspect them closer, Her head started to dip down,

-Watch it, you're still horny! Cana said while avoiding her sharp black horns,

Sphinx lifts her head and start laughing,

- Oh that so true and in so many different way that it's almost sad, Sphinx said with fake frustration while Cana laughed with her,

- Are we interrupting something?

A timid voice was heard coming from the door.

Both women looked towards the door were Levi and Lucy looked at them with red faces, behind them stood Gajeel, Gray and Bixlow who looked at them with wide eyes.

-No, we didn't, please don't mind us, Gray said instantly,

-Yeah please continue, Bixlow ushered his totems repeating him.

Sphinx looked back at Cana and shrugged before smashing her lips onto the card mages. Instaly Cana started to moan loudly and very exaggeratingly. A loud shriek came from Lucy, who pushed the men out and slammed the door in their drooling face before looking at her two grinning friends on the bed.

- You pervert! She yelled before forcefully shoving Sphinx off Cana and onto the floor.

Sphinx held her stomach and Cana sat up both laughed at Lucy embarrassment. The Celestial mage huffed and glared at the two while the door opened again with the guys entering.

-Come on Lucy! Whined Bixlow.
