A/N: Fairy Tail does not belong to me. Like, at-all. Thank you.

Ahh, go easy on me! This is my first JackaLu!

Just a few months ago, he was trying to kill her. Actively trying to kill her. And, hell, he would've too, if it wasn't for the mermaid.

But watching her, a mere human? Able to summon the Celestial Spirit King? That's impressive. And then she went a kicked his ass, so, yeah. He would admit she was pretty strong.

And, to be fair, he was trying to kill her to vent his frustrations. The pink idiot and his stupid cat were trapped in Cube and she was the only one free. He lost his chance to take out his anger on the pyro, so the blonde would have to do.

He wanted to play around with her, cause her the most amount of pain he could. Killing her would be too easy and over too fast. He needed to sate his anger, and this was a brilliant way. So when Torafuzar went to kill her, he reacted with the threat of violence.

She was his prey and only he could kill her. After he had his fun, of-course.

Fortunately, the shark backed off, letting him do as he pleased.

But then Lamy butted in. She propped the blonde up, giggling like mad as she spoke with him as though they were equals. Suggested what to do next to her. He humored her.

For all of three seconds, before he attacked her.

Just the thought of someone else ripping those delicious screams from her throat pissed him off more than anything that had gone wrong that day. She was his and only he could pull those screams from her. Didn't they hear him before? He claimed her for his target, so they could all go and find their own. Blondie was his.

And then, well, it all kinda went downhill from there.

But he ignores that bit of their history. As of now, Tartaros was… disbanded? Ish? All their members were scattered (or, ya know, dead) and only some of the demons remained, he one of them. With the Magic Council MIA—which, yeah, he claims responsibility for—they can pretty much do as they want.

Except, Fairy Tail would come and finish the job. So, there was a sort of alliance formed within a month of that battle.

Jackal blamed that on their King's sudden interest in the Guild of Mages. And a Take-Over Mage Jackal was convinced was demonic. That was actually proved partially true. So, with the demon barmaid negotiating on behalf of Fairy Tail and their slightly traumatized Master (let's be fair, the entire Guild was pretty much traumatized), Mard Geer, feared King of the Underworld, was—ah, the horror—flirting. Quite successfully, if the fact that she agreed to dinner said anything about that.

Her brother was annoying, which he stated, but he was curious about her sister's capabilities and was ever the gentleman to the ladies. And yes, Fairy Tail's women would agree that when he wasn't being a creep and trying to kill them, he was quite handsome. Which left Kyouka and Erza sizing each other up from across the room, Seilah perched on the bench next to her reading "Grimm's Fairy Tales" (courtesy of Freed, who immediately returned to Laxus' side), Lamy flitting around, freaking out about all the hot guys in the Guild (Juvia gave her a murderous look upon coming within ten feet of Gray), Tempester leaning against the wall as Gajeel shot him annoyed looks, and he, Jackal, perched among them, golden eyes taking in everything curiously.

Fairy Tail versus Tartaros, part two. Fairies on one side, Demons on the other.

"My, it doesn't seem like everyone is going to be getting along any time soon," Mira voiced her concern, loud enough that everyone shot her looks. They didn't have the Underworld King singing their praises, so excuse them for not wanting to get too close to the demons that destroyed their town.

"All in due time, Mirajane." From the look he sent them, apparently "due time" meant now.

Incidentally, this was the one and only time they would disobey their King. He was not amused.

"I should like to read more of human's Fairy Tales," Seilah voiced, dark eyes finding Freed among the Fairies. Beside her, Kyouka looked surprised while Mira brightened.

"Freed can show you the Guild's library!" Murmurs of disagreement came from the Fairies as Freed looked to Laxus for help. "Well? Freed?"

"Ah, Mira-san, that is, I'd love to, but—"

"Freed-sama, I thank you for your assistance," Seilah bowed her head, a small smile on her lips and Laxus nudged the green-haired man forward. Stuck with this predicament, he slumped forward for a moment before straightening and taking a breath, schooling his features.

"This way then, if you will, Seilah-san." He motioned towards the steps leading to the library and she nodded, padding forward to take hold of his arm. He stiffened while Bixlow and Jackal snorted, hiding their amusement poorly. "A-ah, w-well…" Laxus sent him a thumbs up and Mira was practically glowing as she saw the possibility of a new couple.

He was well and truly trapped. For the next few hours, at-least. After that, he would avoid the demoness as if his life depended on it. Which, given the glare he was receiving from Kyouka, was very much the case. "I suggest a chaperone," she growled.

"Nonsense! Freed's a gentleman~!" Mira chirped, waving off her concerns. "Behave~!" she waved as Freed looked back, pleading for help as the demon lead them down the steps. "Isn't that great? Everyone's already becoming friends!" She smiled up at the Demon King, who shared a similar look of triumph. "Lucy!"

The blonde immediately eased back, clinging to the pinkette beside her. "Y-yeah? Mira?" Natsu slung his arm around her, curious as to what Mira wanted.

Jackal's smile dimmed as golden eyes narrowed at the scene. The stupid grin on the Slayer's face was beginning to tick him off.

"Gray-sama!" Juvia gushed before Mira could continue. "Hold Juvia like that!" The Ice Devil Slayer easily dodged her flying leap, watching in concern as she tumbled to the ground. Lamy's eyes lit up and with a cry of, "An opening!" she too leaped. Gray was not prepared for that, but he also didn't expect the guild to immediately darken as Juvia cast murderous eyes to the rabbit-eared female.

"Love-Rival will drown," her voice was a deep echo and the demons blinked hard at her. "Water Lock." Lamy was suspended in water and as the guild took in this latest development (the demons gazing in disbelief at the water mage) Juvia perked up. "Gray-sama~!"

He backed up quickly, running into Natsu and Lucy. The blonde skittered away, knowing what was to come as Natsu and Gray faced off. "Oi, you wanna go, Ice Princess?"

"You're the one in the way, Flamebrain," Gray growled back, the two forehead-to-forehead before the brawl began, chairs flying and insults hurled at each other.

Finally, Fairy Tail was back to normal. Ish. What remained of the Nine Demon Gates were still watching in awed confusion as the brawl continued, with no one apparently willing to stop it. In-fact, Fairy Tail seemed to not even notice it, the members breaking off to sit at tables and begin casual conversations, some watching the fight as it continued.

"Idiots, huh? Can't even concentrate for five minutes," Gajeel stated to the small script-mage beside him, Lucy joined with their group for the time being.

"Ah, and this is the pot calling the kettle black, hm?" the blonde quipped, smiling lightly at her best friend as the two smiled.

"What?"

"Oi, You wanna go too, you good-for-nothing screwdriver?!" Natsu shot back at him, Gray snickering as the two wrestled.

Gajeel immediately glared, rising from his tables, fists clenched. "You wanna say that to my face, Salamander?!"

"With pleasure, Metalbreath!" And such was when Gajeel joined in, dragging Elfman along as he went, the giant bellowing about how brawling was 'man'. To which he received a sound punch in the jaw.

Jackal watched with growing excitement as the guild was pulled into the mayhem. They weren't doing it to actually hurt the others, no magic was involved, and honestly? It looked fun.

So he joined, leaping into the fray and pouncing on the Fire Slayer, grinning and laughing manically.

Mira hopped behind the bar, clapping her hands. "That didn't take too long~" she hummed to Kinana, who offered the white-haired woman a strained smile.

Only a few weeks after that, Jackal was becoming increasingly frustrated with the Fairy Tail guild. Sure, Seilah and Kyouka were fitting in (Seilah quietly joining in on Freed and Levy's discussions of historical and ancient texts, Kyouka sitting with them as a 'chaperone'—which meant she glared at Freed), Tempester stuck to himself, but somehow made friends with Cana (apparently, he had a high tolerance level?), and Mard was still—gag—flirting with the demon barmaid. They had gone to dinner six times thus far, lunch a handful of times when she wasn't working (so, like, twice) and he walked her home fairly often.

He believed the term was 'dating' and it disgusted him. Erza may be Queen of the Fairies, but at the pace he was going, Mirajane Strauss may quite literally become the Demon Queen. That was even worse.

But that wasn't the issue. What was wrong was that the idiotic, pink-headed Slayer annoyed him to hell and back. He didn't even have to do anything. Just sitting there was enough to piss the blond off, enough that when he got involved in his and Gray's fights, it wasn't a friendly brawl. Luckily, Erza never knew the difference and merely chalked it up to bonding between the three.

That might even be worse to Mard and Mira dating.

And the blonde. The Celestial Mage. She was… weird.

See, when someone tries to kill you, most people don't react by making them dinner. Alright, sure, he got sick from dessert (apparently dogs and chocolate don't mix?) so that was pretty expected. But she had apologized, so it hadn't been intentional—though, from the look the lion had given him, he had certainly hoped the blond would have choked to death from their dinner. He couldn't even say she made it special for him, no, he had to be clear about that. She had made dinner and invited him, along with her team. So it wasn't something too special.

But still. It was written somewhere that you don't invite mass-murders to dinner. Especially when they in-fact tried to kill you. He was pretty sure that was written somewhere.

All the same. She was weird.

And for the love of all that's unholy, what was Natsudoing sleeping in her bed every other night?! That also pissed him off. The pinkette was treading on very dangerous ground.

He doesn't share well and right now, he was about to show him that.

"Oi." He glared down at the blonde woman, head tilted as he perched on the bench across from her. Brown eyes flicked up to his gold before returning to her book. His brow twitched, tail swishing, proclaiming his agitation—and goddamnit, he is a dog, not a cat! Dogs swish their tails too!

"Yeah?" She turned the page. "What's up?"

"You're pissing me off."

He saw her eyes stop in their trailing of the page before shifting back up to him, brows furrowed and lips pulled into a tight line. "I beg your pardon?"

"How you act with Salamnder. Are you sleeping together?"

Silence was his answer as she stared and Levy, who had just been passing to join Gajeel, froze as well. Gajeel, for his part, spit out his ale. Across the hall, Mira must have picked up on their feelings and turned her gaze curiously over to them. Within mere seconds, she must have read their minds and come to the right conclusion about what had transpired—and nothing anyone says can convince the blond bomber that she can't do that.

Lucy raised her head, smiling a bit, letting out a breathy little laugh. "I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you right. Would you mind repeating that?" Levy was torn between stopping her friend from hurling the demon across the room and running for fear of her own life.

In the end, she feared for his life more than she feared Lucy. So, she stepped in, pulled hard on the blond's ear, and tugged him away, attracting a fair amount of attention as he yowled his displeasure, thrashing in her hold as she dragged him towards her and Gajeel's corner table. Lucy returned to her book, pushing the encounter from her mind as Levy took charge.

Gajeel was not pleased. "Shrimp, take him back."

"She will honestly kill him."

A moment of gazing intently at the blond now pushed against the wall of their booth and muttering darkly under his breath, arms on the tabletop and half his face hidden behind his forearms, was long enough for the Slayer to make his decision. "So be it."

"Gajeel!" He shrugged and Levy focused her attention on the blond beside her. "That was very rude, Jackal."

"So?" She grabbed his ear once again and he yelped. She let go after a few tugs and settled her hands lightly in her lap. The Iron Slayer snickered at the blond's put-out expression. "What was I supposed to say then?!"

"Not that, obviously. That's a very personal question, but I'll have you know they are not."

"Then why the hell does he sleep in her bed?!"

"Why the hell do you care?" Gajeel shot back, grin growing on his face as a silver studded brow rose. Jackal sneered at him, fingers twitching, just about ready to cause a few explosions.

"Oh." Both looked over at the bluenette, who was smiling gently at the demon. Gajeel immediately scowled, crimson eyes narrowing on the blond. Dragons were territorial just as much as dogs and if this continued, Gajeel would be more than happy to show the mutt why he shouldn't go after the little shrimp. "You're jealous."

Jackal choked, spluttering incoherently as Gajeel laughed.

"Gajeel, don't be rude!" He wasn't going to stop any time soon. This was too great. "Jackal, you can't just—"

"Jealous? What the hell is wrong with you, woman?! Jealous of what? Of who? Salamander?! Why the fuck would I be jealous of that dimwit?!" He glowered at her, growling and muttering less than complimentary thoughts under his breath. Which, Gajeel heard.

"Because he has Bunny-Girl and you don't," he sneered, bloody orbs narrowed in distaste. If he went after the Shrimp like that, he wouldn't pull his punches. That was a declaration of war, right there, and Mavis help the blond is he continued with this.

Jackal shot them both a look, as if the thought quite literally made him ill. "Her?! As if!"

"Ah, look, Gray's talking with Lu-chan," was Levy's flat observation. The blond immediately swerved, golden eyes narrowed as he took in the scene; there she was, smiling and laughing as he stood before her, a grin cracked on his own lips. Juvia clung protectively to his arm, his shirt folded in her hands.

His teeth ground together, jaw tense. "He has Water-Girl," was his low comment.

"Mm, maybe." Jackal shot her a dark look, promising pain. She smiled lightly. "So, you aren't jealous, hmm?"

"Not in the least."

"And…" she tapped at her chin, eyes shifting away in her thoughts. His travelled back to the Celestial Mage, lip twitching as she continued smiling. "…if I told you she had a date tomorrow night?"

His eyes screamed murder but his jaw remained tightly sealed.

"You got it bad, mutt." He hissed at Gajeel, who shrugged it off easily. The Iron Dragon Slayer waved down Mira, who immediately came bustling over with a tray.

"Hello, Gajeel, Levy! I'm glad you're spending time with Jackal!" she chirped brightly. The blond sulked. "I was worried for a while, since you mostly kept to yourself. So! What can I get for you?"

Gajeel jerked his thumb at the demon. "Blondie here's in need of your assistance."

Her eyes immediately lit on his form and he cursed his King and their stupid alliance. He would have loved to kill the red-eyed man right now.

"Leave it to me~!" She dragged him away, the demon loudly protesting this manhandling he was being put through.

"You know," Levy mused, watching as Mira glanced back at him with a scary smile, the blond immediately settling after her display of terror. "He went from trying to kill her to becoming overly possessive really fast. I wonder why?" It was obvious the way she was looking at him that she wanted an answer.

"Imprinting? She kicked his ass so he's obsessive?" That was about the best he could come up with.

"No, I don't think that's it…" He huffed, his idea thrown out the window. "She did mention he chose her to take his anger out on and when Torafuzar," Gajeel's lip curled in distaste at the mention of the shark-like demon, "wanted to just kill her, Jackal threatened him. Maybe, in a way…" she tilted her head lightly, trying to figure out a way to phrase her thoughts.

He wrinkled his nose. "You think he's like us?" he scoffed at the idea. Dragons mated for life, dogs? Not so much. If anything, he should've been hopping from one girl to another if they were going off basic facts.

"Maybe… What if he did?"

"Then he is in for a world of trouble." He leaned back in his seat, arms resting along the back. Levy raised a brow and he smirked. "Have you seen the way Salamander is always around her? Mutts are territorial too. This is gonna be hilarious."

"Gajeel, that's mean."

"Gihi!"

Several self-help books later, he was seated at the bar, cheeks puffed up in irritation.

Apparently, he had stalking tendencies and the beginnings of an obsessive relationship. That is, if it was a relationship. He was not in-fact "dating" the blonde, so such a thing would be merely classified as an obsession. And an abusive relationship. Him attacking her verbally—not even Zeref could help him if he so much as touched a hair on her hair—and going after the people that came close to her was not a good thing.

For all intents and purposes, he had claimed her and didn't take well to others taking her attention away from him. So, he was a needy child, wanting her attention all for himself. Which, Mira had quite bluntly pointed out. She softened it with the, "But it's kinda cute, how clingy you are~!"

He was not clingy. He was Jackal, one of the Nine Demon Gates of Tartaros. He was also not cute.

"Luce!" He growled low, narrowed eyes taking in the pinkette sitting next to her. She smiled and his lip twitched upward. A sharp pain to the back of his head had him whirling around to snarl at Mira. She held the rolled up magazine innocently.

"Behave, Jackal."

"Did you just—Did you just hit me with that?!"

"Yup." He was tempted to attack her, leap over the bar and maybe wrap his hands around her throat. The thought of the air struggling to get past him brought a dark grin to his lips.

And then he remembered—simultaneously—she was the She-Devil, kinda-sorta-dating his King, and he was in the middle of Fairy Tail. Damn.

From her smile, it seems she had a vague idea of what he had been thinking about. "Mm, I seem to recall Lucy went through something similar, yes?" He immediately went cold, recalling how the blonde had once gasped for breath, tears leaking through as she screamed and cried, helpless to his torment.

And he had thought her screams were perfect. Once upon a time, they probably were.

But she was his now and if she got hurt, he would kill without mercy.

"My, a little possessive, and you aren't even dating." She was doing that mind-reading thing again, he was sure of it. She was leaning behind the bar now, elbows on the wood as her hands held up her chin. "What would Lucy say about that, huh? Would she even want to?"

A very valid question. Would the blonde even consider him? At this point, he couldn't come up with any other answer than, "Why the hell wouldn't she?" She was his, after-all. And the pink-haired Slayer better get that through his thick head.

"Oh, I don't know. Just a thought. You might not be her type." She watched as he practically slipped off the bar stool in surprise. His face was priceless and from the way Gajeel was laughing in his booth, he had heard everything.

"N-not her type?!"

"Mm. She's never dated before, maybe she just hasn't found the one yet?" Mira clasped her hands in-front of her chest, eyes shining at the thought. "Ah, how romantic! Falling in-love and marrying your first boyfriend~! Ahh~ Lucy~!" The woman of his affections turned, looking curiously over at them. She seemed surprised to see the bomber with the barmaid. "Lucy, you need to get married~!"

"W-what?!" Mira disregarded the blonde's look of horror. "Where did that come from?! Jackal, what are you telling her?!" He balked as chocolate brown eyes narrowed on him suspiciously.

He huffed, pointing at the Take-Over Mage. "All her ideas! I had nothing to do with it!"

"Ahhh~! Think of the children! Oh, Lucy," Mira hummed, a dreamy far-off look in her eyes. "Just think! Blonde, like you! Maybe brown eyes, maybe blue! Or even taking after your husband!" she broke off suddenly, diving under the bar only to pop back up with a notebook, papers shoved haphazardly amongst the pages. "Let's see…" she flipped rapidly through the pages, the blond demon before her gazing curiously down as names and weird charts flashed before his eyes, his tail swaying in his curiosity.

"M-mira, what is that?" He glanced over, noticing she was inching her way towards them. Gray, Juvia, and Natsu were seated at her table, somehow getting along for a few minutes while she left them to investigate.

"Punnett squares!" was the demon's explanation. Lucy's eyes widened and she inched just a little closer, horrified at the prospect but altogether curious.

"F-for?"

"Your babies~!" She had gathered that, yes. "AHA!" Both jumped when she suddenly giggled, gazing lovingly down at the pages before her. Sketches now rested amongst the bar, several different childish faces smiling up from them. "So, Lucy, I could hook you up with Hibiki~?" she pushed lightly at the drawing of the little boy with brown eyes and golden hair. "This is just a guess, obviously. You could have a precious little girl and she could inherit your eyes and his hair, or vice versa. Or she take after him more than you—which would be upsetting, don't you think?—and have—"

"No thank you!" Lucy raised her arms up, trying to sway the woman's sudden focus. "I'm alright, really, Mira! No need to find me a—"

"OR, if you don't think he's you type," Jackal perked at the change in topic, "What about Sabertooth? There's a couple of very handsome young men there~ Sting, for one, or even Rogue! Rufus and you could work too! I'm sure the children would be adorable!" she squealed, flipping through pages to point out the various pairings and the possibilities for their children. "See? See?" she practically shoved the drawings into the blonde's face, showing several different possibilities.

Jackal was twitching violently.

"I-I'm fine, really, Mira!" Lucy raised her hands in a show of surrender. "I'm okay without a boyfriend! Thank you!"

"Aww, really? What about Jackal?" Silence was her answer as Lucy blinked hard.

He takes it back. He doesn't want to kill Gajeel. He wants to kill Mira, Fairy Tail, Mard Geer, and the alliance be damned.

"J-jackal?" He told himself his heart did not, in-fact, flutter when she breathed out his name. Goddamnit, he was not a pansy. His heart does not flutter. "A-ah, well, like I said, I'm not, you know, looking for a boyfriend right now." She was avoiding their eyes.

Suspicious. Very suspicious.

He leaned forward, a smirk growing on his lips. "Oh? I don't hear a no," he purred and she shivered, inching away. Loud laughter and then her hand was pushing hard at his face, shoving him away and holding him there.

"Very funny! That's cute! Natsu, let's go on a job!" and then she let go and he was face-first on the floor.

"Yosh! Finally, Luce! I got the perfect one!"

"GREAT, LET'S GO NOW! I'LL GO PACK!" Dust was left in her wake, the Slayer and blue cat blinking after her in confusion. From where he was sprawled on the floor, Jackal propped his head up, glowering at the doors.

"You know," Mira began, practically laying on the bar as she peered down at him. His eyes flicked up to her. "It wasn't a no."

Well, yeah, he knew that already.

He was dreaming. He realized that, in the back of his mind. He felt the smile on his lips, felt himself bare his fangs.

He heard her scream.

He once thought her screams were music, a melody that was perfect, but after that whole mess, her screams only fueled his rage. If she was screaming, she was hurt, and if she was hurt, that meant someone had touched her. Hell if he'd let that go unpunished. He wouldn't let anyone have her. She was his. He was still working out how to go about proving that, but Mira and Juvia were surprisingly helpful.

The water mage and he had come to an understanding: she didn't want Lucy around Gray and he didn't want Gray around Lucy. So, they teamed up in that endeavor. When she got too close to Gray, either one or the other would distract them, he either pulling the blonde away or the bluenette tackling her beloved. It was working pretty well, to be honest.

But he was getting distracted. He could still hear her scream, it echoed in his mind. But there was something… off about it. It wasn't like those screams he pulled from her months ago, not filled with pain like he expected. She… was screaming his name?

God help whatever idiot was delusional enough to hurt her in-front of him.

He opened his eyes, golden orbs taking in the darkened room. Her apartment. Maybe. He'd only ever been there once—invited for dinner—but it looked about right.

"Mm…" He looked down, curious at the noise.

He stopped breathing.

There she was, curled against him, her head resting against his shoulder. And they were in her bed.

The night came back to him. There had been a party (when wasn't there a party?) and he'd been saddled with taking her home. Cana had convinced her to drink with her and one mug had turned into three and the light beer had turned harder. And then before they knew it, she was giggling and pink cheeked, three mugs having transformed into seven. She apparently traumatized Happy, the poor cat sobbing against Natsu, who was trying his hardest to figure out what the blue cat was wailing about. And then Loke had been called and he appeared, charming as ever, suave and flirty as he took in his intoxicated mistress.

He rightly blamed Cana and went so far as to suggest Mira had a hand in this. The barmaid had looked aghast he thought so poorly of her, but the shine in her eyes revealed her. Everyone knew she was involved anyway.

But then, oho, she flirted back and the lion was practically over the moon in his happiness. One thing led to another and before they all knew it, Lucy was in his lap, the lion red-faced and stuttering. She didn't pay any mind, grinning down at him, fingers trailing over his shoulders before leaning in, the alcohol removing her inhibitions.

And damn if he didn't want to kill the lion right then and there and steal the blonde away for himself. He wasn't the only one watching, several others watching on in horrified amusement as Lucy seduced the playboy. It was working too, the ginger finally graced with the illusion of the pretty girl's affections. He cheered, all his hard work was finally paying off!

And then Erza barged in, pulling the blonde away and chastising the lion for his inappropriate behavior.

So, you can imagine his confusion when the girl was dropped into his arms and the redhead gave him strict orders to take her home and make sure she was tucked securely into bed. But hey, he wasn't complaining. She was in his arms and it occurred to him that all was right in the world.

She fit perfectly, the final piece falling into place to complete the picture.

He got her back to her apartment in one piece and upon settling her in bed, she grabbed him and pulled him down, murmuring nonsense against his neck. He wasn't opposed to her holding onto him, no, he quite liked it actually, but then she conked out and had a tight hold of his arm. Almost to the point of cutting off the circulation. Like, way too tight. He was stuck. Heaven help him if Titania popped in to make sure he got her home and stumbled onto this.

And no, he was not scared of the scarlet haired Mage. He was terrified of her.

"Jackal…?" He focused, gazing down at her. She blinked sleepily back up. A smile eased itself across her lips before she snuggled back into him. He stiffened, swallowing hard. A moment and her breathing evened out.

He rested his arm around her, pulling her a little closer, eyes taking her in intently, wondering if she would stir.

This woman was going to be the death of him. The demon, Jackal, an explosive bomber of Tartaros, was—he almost gagged at the thought—possibly falling in-love with the blonde of Fairy Tail.

And then the dream that he had just awakened from began to filter back to him. He recalled her screaming, but it was most definitely not in pain. Nor was there anyone attacking her.

Well, to be perfectly serious, she was being attacked, but not in that way. And her screams of his name were a by-product of that. He felt the blood beginning to drip and schooled his features, a smirk coming onto his lips.

He liked that dream. He liked it a lot. Maybe he'd make a reality soon. But, for now, he needed a very cold shower. Or, he could just stay in bed with her and maybe stumble into an even better dream. That was looking pretty good too.

She was his, after-all. She just needed to realize that.

Ahahaha… *BLUSHES PROFUSELY* I DIDN'T THINK I COULD DO THIS! IT'S LIKE—LIKE, kinda SMUTTY-ISH AND I'M DYING JUST THINKING ABOUT IT! LIKE, IT'S NOT GRAPHIC, BUT YOU GET THE DRIFT!

In other news, this is my first JackaLu thing~ Hooray~ I didn't actually end it where they're like, together, but Imma implying it! Ish.

I totally blame Eien(or sxtrisoul) for this. She was all for me delving into JackaLu. MAYBE NOT IN THIS MANNER AND MAYBE WITH A MORE DEFINITE ENDING, but yeah~

Maybe I'll make a part 2…? Where it's definite…? I dunno, maybe… Darn, now I'm thinking about it… Fine. I've decided. There will be a Part 2.

Okay~ So, I have a poll up for the next major story I'll be doing! FYI, its mostly NaLu or GaLe, haven't quite gotten ideas for CoLu or JackaLu yet, but if I get them, I will add them to the poll! It'd mean a lot to me if you voted~!

So, um, tell me what you think...?
