Edited and Updated chapter I went to read back and realised there was a lot of confusion hope I cleared it up a bit.

"Dammit Storm stop joking around just finish him off!"
I was growing even more frustrated with this battle it was hopeless! Maybe you're so frustrated that you can't talk to Storm about that confession he just made.
But there was something in Storm's eyes, it wasn't just bloodlust he wants to play around with them like a child with food, maybe to taunt them and prove his power to me. But I want to get out of here as quickly as possible, and we still have three of these guys to get through.
I growled, "Fine you've got this one I'll go over the other side." This stopped Storm's movements.
"Don't you dare Nashi Dragneel, wait for me," wow whole name! So threatening.
"Stop wasting time," I knew Storm wasn't trying, because he hasn't stripped yet.
"He's harder than he looks..."
"You're showing off aren't you?"
Storm pummelled his face with an ice cold fist.
"Stop thinking about my personal gain if you would stop talking I could be in the zone right now,"
"What zone are you in right now?"
"The I'm going to beat Nashi Dragneel's cute behind if she doesn't shut her mouth and let me handle the situation...zone."
"My butt isn't cute!" I raged he's being ridiculous right now.
"That's it! Ice make..."
Storm emerges from the curtain victorious I just stood feeling slightly misused.
But I rushed up to Storm hesitantly cupping his bruised jaw, "does it hurt, is it...throbbing?"
Storms blue eyes brightened immediately, "are you nursing me Baby girl?" Really that stupid nickname! Of course it's going to cause me to blush.
I rolled my eyes, "shut up, I should be the only one socking you in the jaw."
Storm smiled, "wouldn't have it any other way," I pushed him away.
"Ice it with your hand, I'll handle the next guy..."
Storm's face turned uneasy, "I don't think so, let me-"
"No you can't handle a few more of those punches I'll handle it or else you'll be knocked out and I'll end up finishing them all off myself."
Storm sighed, "I don't want to see you hurt."
"Me neither but this is for you, take it or leave it," I stared at Storm deeply who looked like he was having an internal argument with himself before staring back, as if he were searching for something, and before long he came forward till our foreheads were touching.
"You get hurt, I swear I will kiss you until you see your mother's stars, got that Baby Girl?"
"Will you stop calling me that?"
"Will you marry me?"
I rolled my eyes just as Storm burst out laughing obviously just teasing.
Suddenly I was being tossed into the next tent, "don't show off, just finish him off, light your god damn hand on fire and showroom the power of our love-no wait I mean Fairy Tail..." yeah right.
I looked back him lighting a match, "when did you get all teasing?"
"My inner Juvia, might as well unlock that cage door now..."
"What's with the confidence?" I could sense my opponent drifting around the tent walls he's light on his feet I'll give him that.
"Dad, he's the cockiest when Natsu's around, and I am too when you are."
I gulped, could this be the real deal? It can't be can it...? Me and Storm? Sworn enemi-
Flash, the figure broke the line, guess I'll have to find out later.
The fight was definitely a new experience meaning it was not nearly as close to how challenging fights are with Storm, this was child's play in comparison.
But somehow it wasn't.
It was like he was adapting to my attacks, growing stronger.
"Watch your footing!" Storm growled.
I rolled my eyes, "are you serious?"
"Very."
"Ice your face Storm, I'm busy," I exclaimed throwing a fireball directly at my target.
"Block his kick," I dodged the punch while placing a guard under my gut for his incoming attack, I threw a fire attack straight back.
"Storm honestly you should mind your own business..."
"You are my business," he said simply.
"What are you guys? Newly weds..."
"Yep-" "No!" It doesn't take a genius to guess who said which.
But I fought with a flushed face which Storm began to tease, "hey Baby girl, want to know what's burning as bright as your hand right now?"
"What happened to being serious?"
"It's not only your movements that are getting sloppier your opponent is thrown off by conversation," how did he figure that out?
"Don't ask me how just let me keep talking."
"Fine."
"So after this I'll take you out on a date..." He's really serious.
I was distracted for a second earning me a hard kick to the gut.
I coughed slightly knocking my opponent back.
"What's wrong Baby girl a little kick to the stomach hurting you?"
"Shut up Storm," I hissed between clenched teeth anger brewing in my stomach.
"We'll eat out, take you to a movie, eat the same strand of spaghetti..." His voice was as smooth as silk, and it was pissing me off.
This isn't distracting my opponent at all! It's just angering me!
Forget about your date Storm I'm gonna knock you into oblivion!
"Aww look at my girl all flustered..." excuse me! Your girl?
"That's it! Fire Dragon slayer..."
I brushed the dust from my hands strolling out of the tent, I exerted so much magic that the fire extinguished itself.
But when my eyes zeroed in on Storm I began to crack my knuckles together.
"Prepare to die Fullbuster," I stated confidently.
Storm didn't look in the less but threatened.
"Yeah whatever I've got the next guy."
"What part of I'm kicking your spleen to your head don't you understand?"
"Oh I do, I just hope you understand that I helped you back there..."
"When?"
"Easy, I wasn't distracting him with the conversation I was distracting you, when I say those embarrassing things you get flustered and that usually leads to someone getting their ass kicked..." Wait so he was embarrassing me so I'd fight harder?
So maybe he doesn't mean all that stuff he sai-
"I wonder what we'll do on our first date?" Storm wondered aloud.
Crack! I paled.
Now I was pushing Storm into the next tent.
"Less talky more fighty,"
"No kiss good luck?"
Suddenly I gave him a huge push, "Did I do it right, I heard you say a push good luck?"
"Kiss," he corrected.
"Potato, potato," he scoffed as he turned around.
"Tomato, pumpkin," I heard him grumble.
I watched as he engaged in a fight, if these are indeed the Princess's men, they would be known as the Garou Knights.
Well the new set, apparently Dad took them out before.
Dad is my hero. Mom is too, but I have a feeling she really wanted a daughter, not me, the tomboy.
I felt a presence over my shoulder, I turned just as someone sneezes on me.
"Dad?" (by the way I notice when you talk/think about someone that person sneezes, I've seen it on a few Fairy Tail episodes)
"Are you hurt?" He began to touch my face scanning me heavily his eyes staring darkly at the dress I was actually starting to grow attached to.
"I thought I told you to burn this?"
"Seriously dad I'm sixteen!"
"What am I going to do when a boy wants my little girl?" He pouted.
"Don't worry Natsu I've got it handled," I heard Storm fume from inside the tent I spun around.
"Shut up and fight!"
Uncle Gray stepped up beside him, laughing. Somebody caches on fast.
"Future brothers huh?"
Dad began to turn red, "not on your life Snow Cone!"
Suddenly they were head butting together...that doesn't look familiar at all.
While they were acting like the immature idiots they are I looked into the tent where Storm was fighting heavily tearing the earth around him, the curtains were exploding.
He showed no mercy.
And as much as I hate to admit it, Storm is the strongest guy I know, even a worthy opponent for my powerhouse father-geez did I really just say that?
I felt myself being dragged away, there were several hands latched onto me, just as a circle began to glow around my father and Gray.
"Da-"
Their hands muffled my voice.
"Storm!" I kicked and struggled.
"Nashi!" I heard Storm yelling my name, this caught the attention of my father and Gray.
They looked at me.
"Baby girl!"
But before I could be dragged away, over us the clouds were rolling together, grey and threatening.
The hands that were dragging me further away were momentarily distracted.
I took a window of opportunity before sprinting back to my father only to be repelled by the same force field that keeps me from the tents.
The guards that had me pinned were all tumbling over panicked at the idea of being hit by a bolt of lightning and one of them happened to be the princess, it wasn't difficult to notice since he has green hair like her mother.
"Princess Sakura," she turned and sneered at me.
Oh so she's the jealous type?
I turned to see Mika Fullbuster standing with her hands raised eyes narrowed in concentration.
That's right, her magic was admitted to be beyond everyone's, she can control the weather, just like her mother can by making it rain when she's depressed-or something like that.
It really is a powerful magic, she can control all types, thunder, lightning, hail, rain, shine to an overbearing heat.
And there she stood, in all her glory, because Storm may not know this, but Mika is secretly trying to hide her true self, I've seen it before, one time I secretly tried to follow her...she was standing in a clearing, hair out, stance wide and strong.
Then she began to scream, it felt as the world had stopped lightning erupted from the sky falling to the earth electrocuting insects wild animals and surrounding vegetation.
Even I may not have been standing if I wasn't used to being lightning attacked by Cornelia, Alec's older sister.
Yeah, we don't get along at all.
But yes, thanks to her thunder magic I was able to withstand Mika.
So secretly I think Mika lets her frustration fill her before she needs to let it all out and most of the time she can't control who she targets when her powers are in use.
I could hear Storm yelling out to me...but the words for a reply were sucked from my mouth.
I had suspected that Uncle Gray's past had caused somewhat of a disturbance for Mika I just didn't know how deep the issue really was.
The air around Mika began to glow. Looks like Mika still has some rage left in her.
And in a flash she was ready to release it.
"Nashi get out of the way!" my dad was beating on the forcefield, defenceless.
"Move out of the way Baby Girl!"
I'm out in the open, and that made me a target...but it also made the others targets, what should I do? We could all die.
Storm's face was flushed with realisation that his expression turned to devastation in mere seconds.
