Rogue's POV
When he got home from his long day in Magnolia and was resting in bed, he was thinking about
his date with Lucy and couldn't believe he gave in and kissed her. If I'm honest with myself I
know I am feeling something for her but what she feels for me I have no clue. We keep
meeting unexpectedly like it was fated for us but one us believes in it the other doesn't. Can I
make her believe in fate and in me? How can I make her accept all of "ME"? She doesn't know
the parts of me that is so dark and ugly where as she is pure and beautiful as the stars shinning
above. Can the shadows capture the light of a star? After all his thinking so much exhaustion
finally hit him and he went to sleep. While dreaming he sees someone that he thought he's never
see again. "Papa! Please, don't kill him" He watches from a distance but remembers the
horrors of this day and what will happen. He saw the younger version of him hold the katana that
he carries proudly on him every day. It's no ordinary katana it's actually a shadow sword once
unsheathed. The shadow sword is a sword forged from his father's tough skin and fused with his
magic. He heard the words, that's haunted him his whole life.. "Rogue, take the shadow
katana and once you open it; it'll give you the power to kill me. I had it made just in case your
magic is not enough. Please don't make me suffer anymore. When my blood goes onto both you
and the sword it'll make you and the sword a stronger slayer. When you use the sword, use it to
protect the one you love..." Younger Rogue replied "How can I? I'm using itto kill the one I
love the most..."When you are older I'm sure you'll meet someone who you'll fall in love with,
use the sword to always protect her. He watched as little him, unsheathed the powerful sword,
and with a heavy heart he stabbed his father in the chest... The once proud shadow dragon
now turned to shadows right before his eyes. With tears in his eyes he's starts yelling at the
shadows "Papa, papa, please come back to me. Don't leave me alone!" He thought the shadows
would turn into his dad but they disappeared into thin air. "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
Rogue watched as he little him cried all the tears he's been trying to keep inside. When he saw
him looking at the sword in his hand, little Rogue finally covers it. Little Rogue whispers a
promise to himself, "I'll never ever fall in love. I don't want to kill the person I love the most
again... I never want to feel like this again..."
As adult Rogue was listening to his little's self-vow he was realizing he can never fall in love
with Lucy. He watched him cry and yell for help and asking for anyone to help him. But he
knew no one would come to his aid. He hears someone screaming "Rogue wake up! Rogue-kun
please don't die... Rogue-kun wake up please. Rogue you need to wake up now." He woke up
startled because he saw Sting, Lector, and Frosch in his room looking very worried. "Rogue you
alright? You've been screaming for help, Frosch got scared when he couldn't wake you up and
so he came and got me. When I came here you we're tossing and turning and you saying "don't
leave me." We have been trying to wake you from your nightmare for the past 5 minutes now..
Do you want to talk about what happened? "No, I'm okay now.." Lector, Frosch can you leave
us alone for a little bit. After they left, Rogue you can't lie to me; remember our senses and right
now from what I can tell you are not okay. If you need to talk about it I'm here. Do I need to call
Gajeel and have him talk to you or your imouto? Sting, please I know you mean well but
right now I just need to be alone. I need to get out of my head... I'm going to guild and find
a short mission; I'll be back tonight... Fine, tell Yukino that I already approved the
mission you picked; she's helping Minerva get the hang of doing paperwork and approving
missions. Minerva will be acting as Master since I have a Masters meeting in the town of
Clover. I'll have them look after Frosch and Lector until you return. Just so you know we will
talk about what is bothering you at some point Rogue, you can't keep hiding everything to
yourself now. I'll be back in a few days but by then we will have our talk no matter what with
that said he left his room.
~Time skip still Rogue's Pov~
From waking up to my nightmare about my dad, I quickly took a fast shower and quickly
changed into black pants, a yellow and black design one sided long sleeve that covered one side
of his body while the other side was bare but it was held together by black belt and underneath it
was a gray tank top (the new outfit he wears in the manga) and just put my hair up in a ponytail.
Quickly running to the guild and dropping off the exceeds with Yukino. I walked towards the
mission board and was surprised when I found an easy quick mission and got it approved. Once I
was out the door I read it over again and it seemed pretty easy help a new baker find some rare
ingredients as well as help out with some paperwork. When I got to the Magnolia's Cake Shop, I
showed him the mission and my black guild mark on my left shoulder. The baker in charge there
told me I needed to find five rare plants that were seen in the forest. But warned me about the
crazy woman with pink hair who hated humans that lived there. I set out to the forest and
quickly find the five rare plants, every time I sensed the woman with pink hair I immediately
went into the shadows and hid. When I found all five plants I was able to go back to his shop. He
showed me all the paperwork he needed me to complete and wanted me to organize because the
last worker made a complete mess of everything. Apparently the baker didn't have the time to
reorganize everything again. Several hours later I finished organizing his paperwork and
corrected some of the paperwork and added in some notes just to help him out. He was so
impressed with my work and was so happy he actually doubled what he was supposed to pay me.
After my mission, it was a little early and I decided to find a nice resting area and just rest for a
little bit before I went back to Sabertooth. I needed to shake off my nightmare from this morning.
After walking for a little bit I finally found a nice small lake. When I found a nice quiet area to
lie down once I closed my eyes exhaustion came over me. In my dream I was in same training
area where I was this morning but I didn't see little me again. But what I did see was dad
standing proud and tall "Rogue, use the sword to protect the one that you love. Don't be afraid of
loving someone because of me. I was dying and I didn't want you to waste your life waiting for
me to die." "That's not fair! I wanted to help find a cure for you. I didn't want to kill
you." "You couldn't find a cure for me, I told you, only the Sky Dragon, or her slayer can heal
me. The day you were going to ask for her aid, I felt Acnologia's magic and I sensed where he
was and when you told me where you were heading. I knew it was no coincidence; I stopped you
from getting yourself killed. I would rather have you kill me than have you die trying to save me.
You must wake up now, I smell a strawberry, and jasmine scent and they are trying to wake
you up." "How can you smell her when you are in my head?" "He smirks at Rogue when he
says "obviously she must be really close to you because I smell hints of it. Did you forget that
our senses our very heightened."
Lucy's Pov
I was going to sit at my favorite spot to write for a while. I passed by someone taking a
nap I heard him say "I didn't want to kill you" he sounds familiar. Thinking about it for a
minute recognition hit me when I saw his black guild mark it was Rogue. He was in a
nightmare. I need to wake him and hopefully he's not injured. I went to where he was, and
when I gently trying to wake him it had no effect. "Rogue, are you injured? Please wake up." A
minute later he woke up and seemed a little bit dazed. "No, I'm not injured." "Are you okay,
because don't you seem like yourself? If you want to talk about it, I'm really good listener."
"Lucy, just please don't hate me for what I'm about to say. I don't want you to make a
promise to me that you might not want to keep. "It doesn't matter what kind of promise it is, a
seirei madoushi always keeps her word. Just tell me what's bothering you."
Rogue's Pov
I took a deep breath and let out a sigh and faced her and said "I want to tell you something
about me that no one knows." She nodded her head for him to continue on. "When I was little
I was raised by the shadow dragon Skiadrum, although he was a bit mysterious he was the
best dad ever in my eyes. He taught me dragon slaying magic and one day I noticed he was
not himself, he wasn't moving as fast as he should be. I finally got the courage to say how
come you're not moving as fast and then he finally told me that he was sick, of course I
asked if there were any other dragons that could heal his sickness. He said, if I could find
the Sky dragon or her slayer than he could, probably be saved. When I found enough
information about the sky dragon slayer I was going to ask for her aid but fate has a funny
way of crushing our hopes. Wendy was at Tenrou Island with the main forces of Fairy
Tail. Acnologia came and attacked that island and destroyed it with his roar. My dad said
the words I never wanted to ever hear, "Rogue, you as my slayer need to help assist kill me.
With the sky dragon slayer gone now, there is no hope to cure me. I won't let you waste your life
watching me die. I want you to move forward." With the katana he had made for me that I
always carry to remember him, I did what he asked. Now I've been having nightmares
about him about that time when I had to kill him. If I had to choose I would have rather
waited with him until he died and not have his blood on me.
Lucy Pov
I started crying tears of sadness after hearing his story. I went up to him and wrapped my arms
around his neck and hugged him tenderly. Rogue I'm so sorry I had no idea about your dad...I
guess I've judged you way too harshly. When we met for the first time in Crocus, and you told
Natsu about how you killed your dragon. I remember that look you had, you seemed power
hungry. I never realized how much pain you've been hiding this whole time. I think this is what
makes you who you are. I'm slowly accepting you I hope you'll show me more of you.
Rogue gives her his gentle smiles and starts disentangling himself from her and starts
laying on his side facing her getting comfortable and tells her "hmmm.. If you don't have
anywhere to be, I never did tell you why I don't believe in love."
I roll to my side and prop my head up with my arm and when facing him, smiling brightly "I
never told you why I never believed in fate. We should spend time getting to know each other
don't ya think..." - The end!
