Okay first of all I want there to be development between Mika and Gray, we'll get into the lovey dovey stuff next chap and to be honest I get Authors block really easily so I'll be on to my Next gen couple after the next chapter :D This does need editing don't you worry grammar Nazi
I felt defenceless, like all my senses were removed, the air was practically knocked out of me as I watched the girl I had rivalled for years upon years drop to the floor like jello.
My sister was standing there with her chin raised eyes towards the sky.
Nashi's father, who is filled with pure rage, yells as pounds the force field between us ending its existence.
That wasn't even a quarter of his true power.
I was frustrated that he hadn't used it earlier.
That is why my body reacted on its own allowing my fist to cross his face, "you idiot! Why didn't you punch the forcefield earlier?"
He held his jaw running to his daughter I was following his footsteps, as Gray, my father ran to Mika cupping her face till they were eye level, he began mumbling words to her that seem to calm her down.
Natsu held Nashi on his lap, "I didn't want to interfere," he said simply, "I wanted to see what she did, and she did it perfectly..."
What perfectly? Getting knocked onto the ground...
"And what was that exactly? watching her fall face first into the dirt?"
Natsu shook his head, "you know the importance of comrades in our guild but sometimes it's necessary to protect those who are defenceless," Natsu kissed the side of his daughters head.
I looked over to Princess Sakura and her men but they were lying on the ground as if they were paralysed, but the thing that disgusted me was the fact they were unharmed.
"She took all that power...she took the hit," I grumbled, that idiot! I'll take her over my knee once she's better.
It made me realise that Mika was going to teach Sakura and the Garou Knights a lesson, but Nashi made herself the target.
I was getting angrier, with Nashi, with Mika, with dad and Natsu but more important with Nashi's clothes-they are practically melting off of her and to be honest it wasn't a dreadful sight she has creamy skin, deadly curves and a soft smile even if she is sleeping.
I stripped my shirt off walking over to her, I wanted to take her from Natsu's arms and carry her myself, but I couldn't quite do it.
I do want to live you know.
"Here, give her this," he nodded taking the cloth from my hands and wrapped it around her.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to deal with whoever is in that fourth tent, I need to relieve my anger right now."
As I walked away Mika was staring at me, I glared back.
She couldn't control her magic, that's why she is weak.
She nearly killed my Baby Girl.
I couldn't have hated her more, "I'll see you guys in Magnolia."
"Wait!" It was Mika.
I sighed, "what?" She has a soft voice just like mom.
"I want to talk," dad stood and walked towards Natsu, he knows we can take care of ourselves so he comes and go as he pleases.
I just turned on my heel, entering the fourth tent tearing down the structure hoping to rid of this nightmare that taunts me with frustration.
I guess she couldn't take the hint, I'll fully explain what happened and why she seems to be obsessed with me.
I had arrived in the capital, amazed at how big everything is, being a Fairy Tail wizard you don't get to enjoy all these things, you just kick ass, destroy then run from your property damage bill.
But I was able to admire the kingdom for my own eyes.
It seemed so big but it was growing smaller and smaller, I met people and after awhile it just became a city, however, I saw one place-it really reminded me of home.
A small shop, the scene was loaded with people sitting together tightly eating, they were all smiling and happy, it kinda reminded me of Nashi, we had been fighting but afterwards we'd wipe off the grudge (very rarely) and I'd but her something to eat to congratulate her on her attempt at trying to beat me.
But even then we'd be cramped tightly, left, right and centre guild members will be doing some pretty weird things and it was mostly unpredictable I'd say the only thing you can count in when coming to our guild is seeing my fathers and Nashi's fight.
In some ways that attitude indeed passed down to us, the next generation, I mean what day do I go out and not pick a fight with Nashi.
How can I not? She's like a bleeping light on my radiator.
But otherwise I walked into the small cafe and nestled myself into a single table, the waitress asked for my order, undisguised flirting coming from her end.
She wasn't the girl in my head, the only ones ever there are my mom, Mika, and to be frank-Nashi.
It isn't that at the time I didn't want her in my head, it's the fact she has such an aura that I get a tense feeling in my stomach being so far away from her.
I felt...sickened, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't the chicken.
And then she walked in.
Her head held high, green hair, imperial authority in her eyes.
Everybody maintained their own business but I felt like I was familiar with her, and I knew at instant she was the Princess.
Only because the king Arcadios and his Wife come often to Fairy Tail when they're castles need repair because my father and Nashi's tend to destroy towns in their wake.
That is the reputation of Fairy Tail, it explains why I am hiding my guild mark beneath my shirt, trust me I don't particularly like the terrified stares I get from normal citizens its not that I am shameful of my guild it is that I don't want to cause a disturbance in the everyday lives of the people here, by forcing them to run and cower for no good reason.
I did receive a lot of admired glances, and when the princess laid eyes on me, she too showed something more than just a friendly stare.
It's not that I don't like the attention but it just isn't my business. She began to walk towards me, but she noticed that I sat at a one seat table, I hope she knew I no longer wanted her attention.
But just as soon as that occurred the waitress come out and stood in front of me blocking my view of the princess, "I apologise but it seems our ovens don't work and your food cannot be cooked."
I nodded sullenly at the sheer disappointment all over your face, "umm I know this is a strange question but I was wondering if you were fr-" another voice entered the conversation.
"Taken, actually why don't u serve me a pearl milk tea? That shouldn't require an oven," I stood.
"Yes your highness." The waitress bowed and left.
"Here you go," I offered the chair.
She took it proudly making sure to flaunt her vivacious curves.
Just as she sat seated I led myself to the door, but before I could reach it her bodyguards stood in front of me.
"Would you like to join me?"
I huffed, "no thank you."
"I insist that I thank you for your courtesy and I notice that you did not eat."
I shrugged, "it is fine, I will have something to eat later."
"I could take you back to the palace to eat we do have fine cuisine and it is such a great honour."
I rolled my eyes, "not interested."
I heard her chair scrape along the tile of the store.
"What is your name?"
"Leaving." I said in final.
But she didn't take the hint.
I heard the clicking of her heels until she stood less than a few feet away from me, she certainly attracted an audience as the eyes of everyone were on us.
"It won't be so ba-"
"I'm a Fairy Tail wizard," I tore the sleeve off my shirt revealing my guild mark.
That should scare her off.
Well it didn't exactly work, my confession frightened people, but she was the only one left standing in my presence, even her guards hightailed it out the restaurant.
She's a persistent one.
"Fairy Tail wizard? I've always had a soft spot for wizards."
It sounds like she has more of a soft spot.
"I am leaving I have elsewhere to be."
"No you don't, you're coming with me."
She said with finality, pft, I'm not some object and she is not my princess.
"And why would I do something crazy like that?"
"Because I order you to."
"You can't tell me what to do," I said in agitation.
"As your employer I think I do," there was a smugness in her voice.
I twisted on my heel, "I took a protection job, to-"
"Make shipment of merchandise to the eastern Fiore," I could hear the obvious smugness in her voice, "I am the merchandise."
"Then yes you are my employer till we voyage but until them I am just a guy in the restaurant to you," and then I left never turning back to look at her face, I bet nobody defies her.
And I should have known that nobody could defy her.
When I returned to the hotel I had skipped dinner, and decided to sleep, unbeknownst to me I was secretly being shipped to the castle, placed into the confines of a prison beneath the castle, lets just say that I wasn't very surprised, I am a very deep sleeper.
"This is your punishment," those were the words I heard when I awoke.
They echoed in my damp ear, "wha-"
"No one ever tells me no." Her voice radiated over my skin making me shiver.
"What the hell you physichotic lady, let me out!"
"You're a rude young man who needs to know his place, which is below me."
I scoffed, "I am only below those that can defeat me and so far all you've shown me is your cowardice, that you kidnap me to prove your supremecy you little brat."
"I am not a brat!" The voice yelled in extreme waves, causing the walls to shake a little.
"Then let me out, and we can negotiate this," I was still calm hence my shirt still being on.
I slicked back my dark hair, this girl can't handle rejection can she?
"Fine, the only way your getting out of this place is if u agree to be my boyfriend?"
The blood in my face drained.
"What?"
"I said-"
"I know what you said but hell no, I wouldn't date a girl like you if my life depended on it?" I really can be disrespectful but she has to just let it go, I'm not interested I ain't got time for chicks.
"How dare you! I am the princess, god dammit what do I lack huh? Beauty, intelligence-"
"Common sense, you're too high maintenance I'm not interested in beauty or intelligence I prefer a girl just being down to earth."
"But that's just stupid I can make you rich! Powerful!" She praised, "who wouldn't want that?"
"Me, now let me out!" I yelled my finger tips tingling, ice magic burning at the tip of my fingernails.
"No."
"What?!" My voice harboured my very anger.
"You heard me."
"I will turn this castle into rumble do you hear me now let me go!" This crazy physcho! I didn't come here for this.
"I don't believe you could do it," I heard the smugness dripping from her voice.
My teeth grind, "considering in from Fairy Tail that's the very thing I know I can do..."
"Then do it," her sarcasm pissed me off even more.
So without further words I pressed my hands to the floor ice driving from my very palms releasing my magic in all directions until it gathered on the ceiling above me.
"Still don't believe me Princess?"
I heard no response but I don't doubt that they felt the earthquake my magic caused.
I raised my fist before sending a stream of frozen ice into the ceiling I heard a crack, but it wasn't enough, I was huffing, but my father taught me the weakness of never testing your limits.
And I wanted nothing more but to push them to their very limits.
"Ice make!" I sent hundreds and thousands of ice weapons to the ceiling I froze the very earth of the foundations, bringing the ice down meant the entire kingdom will come down.
Nobody messes with Fairy Tail.
I heard it begin to crumble I prepared myself to jump an ice shield surrounding me, it toppled downwards I burst through the concrete with the strength of my magic, I climbed my way through the crumbling castle never stopping. The idea of revenge, became something more I never harvested the true meanings of my actions and the consequences they would bring.
So to all, not only did I disrespect the Future queen of Fiore but I also destroyed her palace, my father welcomed me back like a hero, but Laxus...not so much.
Of course it would be in her rights to take revenge on me by sending me a false job, with awesome magic boundary spells, and hard ass people to kick off the ranks by bringing the floor out from under em'.
It just sounds like a day at the Fairy Tail guild to me.
I stared at the empty area where the fourth tent had been set up what is this?
"Once you step in that magic circle Your trapped under a spell it will send u into the earth," Mika said from behind my shoulder.
So she wanted to bury me alive? Great.
"Today has been the worst."
"Yes," she replied in her usual tone of boredom.
I snarled under my breath, "you need to control your powers you nearly got her killed," I faced Mika.
She pursed her lips, "but she didn't."
"I don't care that's just an excuse to disclose how weak you a-"
"Don't call me weak Storm," she countered I let my mouth shut. "Dad asked for my help okay he wants to help me practice, practical situations are the best way to learn, my magic is too dangerous," my shoulders squared.
"That's pathetic," I grumbled.
Suddenly I felt her dark magic coil around my body.
"Stop saying stuff like that Storm, you're jealous because I have dads genetics, you're jealous of the fact I spend more time with him than you ever will because of my powers." Who does she think she is?
"You're an idiot if you think that's true," her eyes narrowed, I could see dad through them, and my eyes circled back.
"Storm wake up, smell the roses the moment dad knew I possessed his demon slayer magic you hated me, you use my inability to control my power as your weapon to strike me down," but I'm not like you, you're just a bully, but your my brother and a member of Fairy Tail so I have unconditional love for you but stop acting like dad," she scowled.
Okay, I guess she's got a point, dad has always had a weakness to find the stronger things and levitate around them, he's around Mika a lot more than me.
"You want to settle this huh?"
"Yes."
"Brother to sister, comrade to comrade, test your might against mine and find the glory you seek," I pulled my shoulders back before lunging towards her.
A tie? On our backs we rested her hand holding mine, they were both bruised and warm, I never thought the both of us could hold hands.
"You see, we're not that different after all, you speak your emotions through fighting," she said, "and there was a lot of anger..." She laughed.
"Well you almost got my girlfriend killed," the words died on my lips when I realised what I said.
Girlfriend? The words came naturally from my lips like they belonged there, and as if she didn't belong with me?
"Wait you and Nashi? I thought you two were rivals."
I scratched the top of my aching head, "it's a bit more than that now," I said with a haunted voice.
"And how does she feel? She is kinda like her dad."
My eyes narrowed, shes exactly like her bird brained dad.
"Well she hasn't said yes but she hasn't said no other."
"You love her?" I bit my lip.
"I don't know what to call it, but I sure as hell near died when your lightning electrocuted her," I exclaimed.
"Yeah I'm sorry controlling the elements gets a little risky and she did the right thing, she's a hero."
She is a hero, but she is also my idiot.
"Why don't we head back to the Guild sis, and you know we should go on missions sometimes," I said with meaning, I meant it, we battled as hard as we could I may not understand why I really feel the need to call her weak or pathetic but one things for sure we created a new bond between us.
"I'm okay, I don't like fighting I tend to want verbal resolve before brute force," a droplet appears above my head.
She's always been the peaceful type not like the rest of the Fairies in the guild.
"Well lets head home for some grub me and Nashi can go for a walk tomorrow."
I don't know what she is going to say but she will be mine, I just know it.
"Wait Storm there is something you should know about that lightening strike," Mika said.
"What is it?" I grumbled unhappily.
"I'm not sure but I don't know how long Nashi will be paralysed for."
Oh no.
