Training

"DING DING DING"

"IIIIIIIITTTTTSSSS WAKEY TIME~~" came the loud sing song voice of Zancrow in the early of the morning.

Gary rolled over on his bed resulting with the ice mage coming to an intimate embrace with the floor.

"UP UP UP! We don't have any time for you to be lazy turds!" Zancrow called as he continued to pace down the aisle that separated all the beds in the makeshift barracks.

Gray slowly stood while running his hand through his hair and along his face to attempt to wipe away the grogginess that was clouding his eyes. He stretched out his arms and yawned while looking to either side catching glimpse of equally enthusiastic male wizards attempt to awaken at his un godly hour. 'Really why the hell do we have to be up as SIX! I mean seriously?! SIX?!' Gray whined in his head as he sat on the bunk of his bed slipping on his shoes and getting ready for yet another entire day dedicated to training to get stronger.

Lyon fell to the ground from the bunk above Gray. Gray simple watched as his fellow ice mage groaned and crawled over to his clothes, too tired to spit an insult. Gray finally stood dressed, mostly at least, and looked at all the mages assembled before him. All the male members from every guild he knew of was here. Lamia Scale sent Lyon with his group and Jura, Blue Pegasus sent the Trimen's and Ichiya, the guys from Quatro Cerberus were here also. Gray then turned to his left and saw the twin dragon slayers from Sabertooth leaning back to back as they tried to fight sleep and slide on their sandals.

As Gray watched this all he couldn't help but hold a smile. It's been a month and a half since Natsu had set up their training regime. They woke up and had breakfast then trained from seven till noon then had lunch, after that they trained from two till dark and sometimes even later if Natsu decided to light the flames around the training ground which he usually did. Gray looked down at his bare arms and chest, he was a lot more defined then he was only a month ago. His body had stayed the same size but his muscles had grown more defined and denser. He felt the power that he held within himself had grown exceptionally due to the grueling training.

"Alright let's get some breakfast blue!" Gray yelled out and getting a roar from the nearby male members. Gray smiled as he slipped on a jacket that was missing sleeves but on the back was stitch a blue circle with a white star in the middle of it. It was a simple jacket that had the sleeve removed, it was an olive green and held pockets in the front. It was also Gray's symbol of rank in the barracks, it was proof that he was the leader of the blue squad that Natsu had entrusted him with. He didn't know what the symbol on the back meant, all he knew was that Natsu said that it came from an ancient civilization that dominated the world at some point.

Gray then made his way to the door, blue squad following it commander. Lyon was behind Gray as second in command, behind them was Eve of the Trimens as third in command and the rest were other water and ice mages from across Fiore. Blue squad was, as Natsu said, the navy of the small army. Their strength when they were surrounded by water was unparalleled to any other mage.

As gray passed the other squad leader he smiled at the fact that his squad always seemed to be quickest in the morning and as such got the first pick on the fresh food. As he exited the barracks to make his way to the kitchen he heard the roar of other squad leaders to encourage the ones they were in charge of to hurry up.

As blue entered the makeshift mess hall where food was waiting for them he stood aside as his squad walked past in formation, as they always had to do under Natsu's order, Gray made sure all of the men in his 20 man squad were present. After he checked Gray got his plate full of morning breakfast and made his way to the Captain's table, not surprised to see Natsu already sitting in the middle eyeing all of blue squad.

"First again I see." Natsu said casually as Gray took his seat directly to his right.

"If you weren't such an asshole the others would be here too." Gray said with a chuckle as he dug into his eggs and pancakes.

Natsu only grinned as he waited and watched the other squads from both the male and female barracks enter into the mess hall. Erza captain of red squad was second, followed closely by Mira from White, then there was Gajeel from Black, Laxus from gold, and Jura from Brown, and finally Makarov in charge of purple. Natsu laughed slightly as he watched all the old men from purple squad slowly make their way to their table. Purple was a symbol of power in ancient time so Natsu decided that the squad would be made up of the master's from each guild since they were the strongest, and most ancient after all.

After each captain had sat at the table with Natsu they quickly finished their meals. They were about to get up to stir their squad to the training ground till Natsu cleared his throat for attention.

"Today we won't be doing regular training." He said calmly as he stood. This instantly quieted the large mess hall as this was not a normal occurrence. With every eye on him Natsu continued to speak "Todays training will be a test. A test as to how powerful all of you have become and if you are a strong as you need to be yet. Each squad will be facing a division of my own personal army." At this Zancrow and several other members of Natsu's personal army grinned. "All except Blue squad since they have shown a great increase in team work and are always up first and ready to enhance their skills." Natsu continued as he placed his hand on Gray's shoulder. Gray felt a little pride at the fact that his squad would be recognized. This was short lived however as he became aware of the jealous glares from Mira, Erza, and Ultear. "Since Blue squad has shown such improvement they will be fighting me and a few of my higher ranking generals." Natsu ended with a smile as all of blue squad including Gray paled.

There was only one thought going through the heads of every blue squad member 'What type of reword is that? It's like as if we're getting punished!"

Natsu then straighten up and headed towards the doors, "Alright to the arena, I want to see how Red, and White squad have improved!" Natsu shouted as the mess hall instantly became alive with people moving into their formation and following him out the door.

The large group of mages followed Natsu along a path that lead into the woods on the outskirts of his mansion. After just a few minutes they came upon a large structure which was the building they had been using as a training ground. It was a massive structure that was made in an oval shape, arches darted along the outsides which increased the airflow inside the structure. It reminded them of the arena at the Grand Magic Games. Natsu called it a coliseum when they first entered it.

Natsu entered the structure and made his way to the large open center of the arena, as he stood in the opening the rest of the squads took their seats in the seating that surrounded the opening. Red squad made its way down to the arena floor along with White.

Natsu couldn't help but smiled as he saw Erza lead her squad. She hadn't changed much in the past month besides the fact she now wore a bronze breast plate instead of a steel one, it was her sign of rank form Natsu, behind her stood Kagura and the other men and women of the red squad.

Mira was behind red squad leading White. White squad was mainly composed of holder type mages and healer's, they were the support squad for the rest of the army, being able to deal damage from a distance and cover the others as well as heal the injured. Mira had a silver and gold necklace around her neck, the gift from Natsu to show her rank as leader of White.

Red was Natsu's personal favorite squad. It made up of fighters who had a lot of maneuverability but were still able to pack a punch. He looked over to Mira and frowned slightly, if the women wouldn't have been so stubborn she would be in Red but Natsu knew she did not take likely to the idea of being under Erza. So as a result she was in charge of White squad.

"Is Red and White squad ready?" Natsu asked Erza and Mira simply.

As a reply Erza simply drew her sword and Mira used her Satan Soul, the ones who were able to in her squad drew their weapons and other simply got in a battle stance.

Natsu smirked "Well since only elemental weapons can harm my soldiers you all better not hold back." Natsu grinned he would set his favorite personal divisions against the two squads. "Zancrow, it's your division that will have this match."

With that the godslayer appeared before Natsu in a plume of flames. "ALRIGHT LETS DO THIS!" as he yelled this a hundred plumes of flames appeared behind him as Natsu's soldier appeared. Zancorw smiled to the Mages that made Erza's red squad, a mere 40 mages and Mira's White squad which held about 60, as he started to walk toward the mages.

Erza requipped into her purgatory armor before shouting a few orders "TWO LINES, WEAPON HOLDERS IN FRONT!" she yelled as the squad got into position. Zancrow then picked up his speed, his division mimicking his lead. Erza then put her mace on her shoulder, the act barely taking any effort now. "SHOW THEM WHO MAKES UP THE RED!" she shouted as she then charged forward at a nearly impossible speed. Her squad letting out a battle cry as they followed their commander.

Natsu watched carefully from his spot beside Ultear and Meredy.

"They aren't going to win are they?" Ultear asked Natsu softly as she rested her head on his shoulder.

Natsu watched as Erza brought her mace down on one of his flame soldier crushing it flat before she twirled and swiped her mace against the body of two other soldier making them fly into their comrades. Mira used her Soul Extinction to blast away several other soldiers.

"No, they aren't." he sighed.

Erza kept crushing soldier after soldier, she requipped into her heaven wheel armor sending blades raining down. After being able to breath she looked around and was shocked at what she saw. The soldiers were overpowering the majority of her squad. While Kagura and she were holding their own the same couldn't be said for the others. She watched as Freed set rune trap after rune trap even with his Dark Ecriture he was being overrun and quickly pinned to the ground before a flame soldier pulled out a piece of flame and punched it into Freed's chest, rendering the mage immobile.

Erza gritted her teeth before continuing the fight, silently cursing Natsu for sending over a hundred soldiers the two smallest division of mages.

Natsu watched calmly as the mages fell one by one. His personal soldiers taking minimal casualties while they immobilized nearly all of Red squad. "I didn't expect them to win in the first place. Zancrow's division are my best soldiers, they could destroy any and all of the squads." He said aloud to the women who was resting on his shoulder.

"Erza is going to be mad at you." Ultear said simply.

"If she has a problem she can come talk to me tonight." Natsu smirked as he watched what was left of red squad fall. And after a bit of fighting only Erza and Kagura were left form Red while Lucy and Mira were left form white. Mira kept calm, focusing on the enemy before her as Lucy summoned Tarus, Loki, and Capricorn all at once. As the four female mages slowly took a step back the enemy used this to press the attack. They charged at the mages form all side and overpowering them. While Mira and Erza took several down they ultimately fell.

Natsu stood up and walked to the middle of the arena. "Nicely done, you all lasted longer then what I expected." Natsu said with a smile as his soldier went up in a flare of fire and disappeared leaving only the soldiers of red squad. The squad members slowly started to stir taking hard deep breaths. Once Erza could feel her legs again however she was instantly in front of Natsu, she opened her mouth about to unleash a trail of words that would make most mothers ashamed.

Natsu however put a finger on her lips. "Tonight come by my room and I'll make it up to you." He said simple as the redhead instantly shut her mouth and obeyed, her cheeks starting to get rosy at the implication. She looked away and huffed trying to scrap some of her dignity.

"You have all definitely gotten stronger but you also have a lot of room to improve as I figure you have all just seen." Natsu said as he saw the downcast looks from the squad. He turned to Erza and Mira "Your squads seems a little down on themselves, pick them up. I know you can make them great." Natsu smiled. Erza and Mira gave Natsu a small smile before walking to their squads saying words of encouragement and attempting to lift their spirits.

"Alright red and white go take a seat, Black, Brown, and gold get your asses down here!" Natsu yelled as the mages moved to fulfill his orders. After just a few seconds of confusion the designated groups were before him. Natsu looked at the three powerhouses, Gold with its huge attack power, Black with its larger defensive power, and Brown with the combination of the two and held the most mages out of every squad. These were the three power houses of the small mage army.

Natsu looked at the three captains trying to get a read on them to see if watching Red squad get overpowered had in some way effected their moral. He looked at Laxus and saw the a face set in stone, he took note on how Laxus seemed to have gotten slightly taller and seemed much stronger than before training. Laxus's normal fur coat had been traded in for another one that had the symbol of his of squad on the right shoulder. It was a symbol he was told represented one of the strongest powerhouses that ever stood in the world, it was a golden hammer and sickle crossing over a red flag.

Natsu then turned to Gajeel, the iron dragon slayer had increased in strength more than Natsu and some of the other mages would like to admit. His hair still long but held out of his face with a bandana, courtesy of Levi, he had also perfected his iron dragon scales so that then always coated his body but were just under his skin so you couldn't tell they were there until after you attack. His attire was the same except instead of his usual feather arrangement on his right shoulder there was a black steel pauldron (steel shoulder guard) with an insignia of a blue shield with a black knight's helmet on it. Natsu said it represented ancient knights of island country who were renowned as being the most powerful.

Finally Natsu set his gaze to Jura, the older man had a small smile on his face as he held the Yari (spear that was used by samurai) the represented his rank instead of his normal staff. He stood static and calm in front of the 150 mages in his command. His eyes studying all the earth around him to try and find anything that he could use to his advantage.

Natsu then looked over the three squads that made up the bulk of his group, around 350 mages between the three squads. "I hope you put up a good fight, because when the day comes it won't be fun and games like it is today." Natsu said coolly. But couldn't help but grin as instead of seeing hesitation within the squads he could see smirks tugging at their lips.

Natsu clamped his hands as 3 divisions of his own troops appeared behind him. "You know the drill! Don't embarrass yourselves out there!" he yelled as the three squad roar in reply and rushed past him.

Natsu quickly used his flame flicker to return to his seat, sitting beside Mira and Ultear with Erza sitting in front of him. She leaned back onto Natsu as he appeared behind her "You better be serious about paying me back tonight." She said grumpily. As she watched the two armies below get closer.

Natsu only smiled and wrapped an arm around the women before squeezing her gently "I will." He kissed her below the ear gently causing the women to stir. "But first I need to see how you all have improved." Natsu said as he turned his attention to the battlefield, he heard several of the squad leaders have devised a few trump cards over the past few days.

Gajeel stood with his second command, Rouge, as the enemy got closer. He then planted his fist in the ground as Rouge and others in his squad stood guard around him. He started to pool magic around him, the earth cracking slightly under the magic pressure.

Natsu looked on entertained and curious at the increase of magic the iron slayer was gathering.

Gajeel then pulled out a block of iron from his pocket and took a bite, increasing his magic. His magic circles then appeared around all the soldiers in black squad encasing everyone in a green light.

"BLACK KNIGHT BATTALION!" Gajeel roared as he pushed even more magic into his spell.

As the light faded every man in his squad was suddenly coated with a black steel armor, some with swords and maces, and others with spiked gauntlets. Gajeel stood as he forced another layer of iron dragon scales along the out of his body, coating him in a dragon like black armor. He then transformed his arm into a giant Iron sword "LETS KICK SOME ASS!" he yelled getting a battle cry from his squad as they pushed to the front of the ranks. Laxus pulled his men back by a few steps and Jura fell in right behind the other two squads.

Natsu kept a calm face as he watched. "Interesting." He thought aloud. Cana then made her way from a seat behind him.

"I never knew Laxus and Gajeel would ever work together." She chuckled as she brought out a flask and took a quick swig.

"They have overcome their pride to work on the job at hand." Natsu said with a small smile. "Using Black squad with their heavy defense to hit the enemy first and disrupt them, then using Gold squad's large attack power to land a deadly low to the disorganized ranks, and then having Brown Squad come in at the end to clean up is a surprisingly good plan. I didn't expect them to come up with it so quickly." Natsu said with a grin.

And just like Natsu explained, Gajeel squad smashed against the front ranks of Natsu's personal army. Blasting them back as black armored soldiers easily plowed over the first ranks of enemies. Gajeel brought his sword down on a flame soldier making him disappear in a flash of flames. He blocked the blade on another with his sword, he felt his back tingle as he glanced behind him seeing an enemy move to stab him. As Gajeel's eyes widened knowing he couldn't react in time he saw a stream of lighting blast the poor soul away as Laxus appeared behind him.

"So all the armor is just for looks huh." The second generation slayer taunted as he crushed another flame soldier with a lightning infuse punch.

Gajeel growled as he sliced two soldier in half, a third swung his sword at Gajeel who didn't make a move. The blade broke on Gajeel's shoulder as the man looked in shock before Gajeel smashed his head into the ground causing the being to flare. "It helps every now and then." He replied simply to laxus.

Both mages looked around, at the battle. They saw Rouge from Black, and Sting from Gold standing back to back. Rouge using his armor and shadows as a defensive barrier as sting sent attack after attack at incoming soldier. However as they watched a single blade got through Rouge's defense and hit Sting in the chest. The blade flared for a second before vanishing, leaving Sting unharmed but unable to move on the ground. Rouge looked on in shock as he lost focus for a second seeing his long time comrade fall. As he turned he was unaware of the large soldier coming from behind him with a battle axe raised. It wasn't until he felt the wind pass by his face did he regain his sense. Rouge turned quickly a shadow blade in his hand ready to defend. But he only saw a plume of fire and a solid iron arrow fell to the ground. He looked back at the direction the arrow came from and saw Gajeel on a knee, one arm was turned into a crossbow.

"OI THIS IS A BATTLEFIELD DON'T GET DISTRACTED! BLACK NIGHTS KEEP THOSE GOLD PUSSIES ALIVE!" Gajeel yelled as he shot another two bolts hitting a few soldiers that were about to take out two people from Gold squad.

Rouge simple nodded before returning to the fray.

The battle raged on for another hour as Brown squad joined as well as the other two divisions from Natsu's army.

"The PERFUME of victory is here." Ichiya yelled as he opened a vial and sniffed, his body grew. "MEN!"

Elfman appeared beside him in his Takeover: The Beast "Its Man to fight!" as the two hulk sized mages barrowed to the front lines. However they were met by two women, one was a tall short haired blonde, and the other was a short red haired women that was no taller than a child.

"It's not man to fight such fragile women!" Elfman yelled as Ichiya replied with "MEN!"

The two women simply looked at each other before using their own magic. The blonde transformed into a 20 foot giant holding a club, a cheetah print bikini was her only clothing. The red head then also transformed in a 15 foot dragon type creature.

Elfman and Ichiya jaws dropped as the two large being lunged forward and completely crushed them in the ground. A small "Men," and "man." Were the only sound's that came out before the two lost consciousness.

From that point on the number of mages to fall increased. At first their plan had worked perfectly and two thirds of the first division of flame soldier had be demolished, but as the others joined the tides of battle swung quickly in the other direction.

After two hours of fighting only Gajeel and Laxus stood in the center of the ring surrounded. Both heavily panting as the enemy gave them a few seconds to breath. "I'm surprised to see your shitty face here at the end." Gajeel said in-between pants.

"Same goes to you junkyard trash." Laxus responded with a grin. "I think it's about time we ended this though."

"You thinking about giving up already?" Gajeel laughed.

"No, but I have my own special move." Laxus said as he stood and began to gather all the magic that was left in him. "Think you can hold them off for a sec?" he taunted.

Gajeel raised his iron sword. "Take all the time you need, I'll leave one or two so you can practice your spell on I guess." Gajeel grinned.

As the flame soldier felt the rise in magic the quickly moved forward to stop whatever was coming. Gajeel turned one of his arms into a cross bow and fire a volley of arrows into the charging men, only a few had contact as the others were swiped away or blocked. Gajeel growled as he released a roar causing part of the men to stop in their tracks to defend themselves. As they stopped Gajeel molded into a shadow and reappeared behind the concentration Laxus, defending him against the oncoming sword strike before shooting an arrow into the soldier's stomach making him flare. Gajeel looked over his shoulder to see several enemy soldiers preparing to launch a spell at the immobile Laxus. He went into the shadows again and appeared in front of the spell blocking laxus.

As the smoke cleared form the spell Gajeel's armor was in shreds. He fell to his knee and raised his bow shooting into the horde of enemies as the charged again. He only got three shots off before six flame blades embedded themselves into his shoulder and stomach. He coughed as the flames made him lose control of his body before he fell forward. His face looking back to Laxus just as the lightning mage opened his eyes. "LGIHTNING DRAGON SUPER NOVA!" Laxus yelled as a giant ball of electricity appeared around him, the bolts of lightning hitting all of the nearby flame soldier causing them to instantly flare and disappear.

Laxus held this attack for several seconds, destroying an eighth of the remaining soldier's before an arrow landed in his chest. Laxus looked down shocked as the arrow flamed and disappeared. His body shut down ending the spell and Laxus fell backwards.

And with that Black, Gold, and Brown squads were completely defeated.

Natsu made his way back down to the arena with a smile on his face, it wasn't just red squad, and everyone had gotten stronger. He clapped his hands causing his own forces to flare and leave and allowing the mages to regain their feeling in their bodies.

"Nicely done! All of you have improved greatly." Natsu praised as the men and women form the Black, Gold, and Brown slowly stood. "You have actually surpassed my expectations, continue this and we might have a chance." He paused "But for now get your asses back in your seats! Blue get down here!"

Natsu waited patiently as the 30 or so mages of blue squad made their way down to the arena. Blue was definitely a naval powerhouse in Natsu's mind. If there was ever a situation where they were faced with a conflict at sea Natsu knew that the mages in blue would easily come through.

As Gray lined is men up Natsu studied them. The seemed a little off and jittery. 'I guess this is what happens when they know they are facing tough opponents' Natsu thought with a small frown.

Gray saw the frown and looked back to his men, seeing the same thing Natsu saw. "OI THIS ISNT TIME TO BE SCARED!" Gray yelled to his squad getting their attention. "This is your time to show the others why we trained so hard. This is a time to prove yourself!" he yelled encouragement to the men and women. They looked to their captain and harden their nerves. As they got ready, determined not to lose the fight.

Natsu only smirked as he clapped his hands once again, Zancrow appeared on his right, Hector on his left. About ten other soldiers appeared on each side of them. "Show me what you have done Blue, show me you aren't just all talk."

Gray grinned "Don't worry flame-brain we're going to kick your ass." Was Gray's response as he used the same line that he would say before he came to respect the man in front of him like he had in the past month. Gray put hit fist into his open palm and created a sword made of ice. The other ice mages did similar moves while the water mages prepared themselves. Gray looked right and left, a feeling of lose took him for a second as he once again realized that Juvia was absent. The feeling quickly passed though as he focused on the fight ahead.

"LET'S GO!" He yelled as he charged for ward along with the rest of his squad.

To say the following was a great fight would be an overstatement. As soon as the blue squad made it within striking distance of the generals they were nearly instantly wiped out. The power of the generals overshadowed nearly everyone but Natsu himself and was only matched by the captains. So to say Gary wasn't too surprised as he realized that within 5 minutes he was the only one left was also an overstatement.

Gray pushed back on his blade that was locked with Natsu's as he jumped back he saw that his entire squad was utterly defeated. He raised he sword toward Natsu.

Natsu only grinned before he lunged toward gray, swinging his sword in a high arch that was intercepted by Gray's. As his sword stopped Natsu sucked in a large breath and prepared to release a roar. Gray saw this and instantly rolled to his right, barely missing the torrent of fire. Ice Make Lance! He yelled as he shot lances of ice toward Natsu. Natsu simply batted them away with one of his swords, the other still sheathed on his hip.

Natsu danced forward again and slashed, this time embedding his sword within a giant ice shield. He looked up in time to see gray leaping over the shield with a giant ice hammer in his hands. Natsu quickly poured flames around his blade melting the ice and side stepped just as the hammer fell. He continued to the side step using his momentum to swing his leg around and kick Gray in the side, sending the ice mage flying.

The ice mage hit the ground and quickly rolled onto his feet and jumping back as Natsu's knee came down at the spot he was laying. The rest of the squads looked down in wonder at how Gray was able to do so well against Natsu.

That was until Gray tried to form another Ice sword and wound up feeling the pummel of Natsu's in his stomach, effectively knocking the nice mage unconscious.

The last thing that the ice mage saw was Natsu's grinning face as darkness took him.

At the end of the day all the squads were on the arena floor, nursing their wounds and groaning. Natsu stood in front of them "I know many of you aren't happy with the way today turned out." He said simply. "But you actually withstood much more then I originally thought you would." He leveled his gaze upon all the mages present "you were at every point outnumbered, outmanned, and over powered. Yet still the thought of leaving behind your comrades never came into your mind." Natsu cracked a smile "There just might be hope for all of you yet." Everyone looked up at the man in front of them and couldn't help but find his praise uplifting. They all strived to make the man proud, they didn't know why they did it though. It was just a trait that Natsu had about him, he just made people around him want to be better and reach his expectation.

"We will be training like this for the next month and a half until we move out to take Tartarus." Natsu continued. "I feel like what we need now it battle experience. I can tell that many of you have grown stronger, but there is still a ways to go." Natsu her a small groan escape for some of the less enthusiastic mages.

"I am not training you this hard for no reason." Natsu said quietly, his hair over shadowing his eyes. "I'm doing this so that all of you may be able to survive though this."

The crowd was silent. "Well that's it for today! Go rest and enjoy the rest of the day off as well as tomorrow. I believe you all earned a break, we will resume training the day after tomorrow." Natsu finished on a more upbeat. This was rewarded with a loud cheer from the squads as many of them started to head to the mess hall to get food, others went back to the cabin to get some extra sleep.

Natsu looked at them as they all disperse. 'We might just have a chance.' He thought with a smile as he made his way back to his own home.

He opened the door to his room and quickly shed his armor and shirt. He moved to his closet and picked out some more relaxed clothes, wanting to spend his own much needed day off in comfort. As he moved to go to take a shower he heard a knock at the door.

He took a sniff and grinned at the smell, he threw his cloths and towel into the bath room before making his way to the door. As he opened he was greeted with none other than Erza Scarlet. "And what are you doing here?" He asked playfully as he leaned against the door frame.

Erza eyes were wide as he looked at the shirtless Natsu before her, her eyes scanning along the muscles that defined his body. She opened her mouth to answer but forgetting the question. She straightened herself out trying to regain her self "Yes" she answered with a blush as she hoped that's the answer he was looking for.

Natsu chuckled. "'yes' doesn't really answer 'What are you doing here?'" Natsu smirked.

Erza flushed "I'm sorry." She bowed "I didn't hear you, you may hit me."

Natsu simple chuckled as he caressed her cheek and lifted her head, "I still got to make up for today don't I? How about you go start the shower." He smirked as her face turned red as her hair. Before he could say anything else however she was already past him and in the bath room, the shower already starting. "If you make me wait too long I won't forgive you!" she yelled from the bath room attempting to have an annoyed tone but failing miserably.

Natsu only smiled to himself as he closed the door and started to walk towards the bath room 'having the day off was definitely a good idea.' He grinned as he slowly closed the bath room door behind him.

Author's notes: I made this chapter at two different times so that's why the first battle is so short and the second is so long. I debating on whether to add another lemon with Erza next or continuing with the story. I hope all of you enjoyed this chapter the fight scenes were pretty fun to create if there are any question feel free to ask!

Oh and the harem is

Mira, Ultear, Meredy, Erza, Kagura, Millianna, and Cana so far. I'm working with the others but it's kind of hard to give them all their time in the spot light. I want to add Cosmos, Jenny, and maybe a third.
