Chapter two~
So like the same with Luka, Princess of Fairies I'm going to post every Saturday. (If I don't forget it. Jk)
However this is the sequel and I have the feeling I can do so much more with Luka because she is older and maybe a bit depressed but less whiny in the way of Erza. So here I go with some Luka and Laxus.. moments...
Chapter 2: A Date with Laxus?!
I quickly took a step back from Laxus and smiled. I didn't care if it was weird or not but seeing the four of them, it was what made me happy. But to be a bit more normally I quickly hugged Evergreen, although she was the one that pushed me away, instead of Laxus. "Why don't you come with us for lunch?" Evergreen said and Bickslow smiled at me. Freed looked less happy. "Lunch.. aaahw.. I can't." I almost said that I could but I remembered Jellal. Jellal… Oh this was going to be a great meeting with this Blue-haired guy again. I would hit him in the face this time. Ultear wasn't going to stop me! "How about Diner?" Evergreen said and I never thought that she would like me that much, I couldn't believe that she asked me out. Not in that way!
"Diner is fine.", "We will meet you at the Fountain. You know in the City Centre?" I nodded at Laxus and watched them walk out of the church. "See you tonight." Laxus said and I waved, until I realised someone was looking at me. I turned around to see the wall that collapsed. "Oh about that." I first have to arrange that before I could totally run away to meet up with Meredy and Ultear. Not forget the betrayer Jellal. A new check on the way to the Council, they must be really glad to have picked me. I did honour the way of Fairy Tail: Destruction!
I couldn't wait for my diner with Laxus, I mean with Raijinshu. I have to hurry and meet up with Crime Sorcière!
"Where were you?" Ultear looked a bit pissed of anyway. "Same question to you guys. I had walked here all the way and here you guys are being the lazy people with a carriage. Oh and you forgot to mention the fact THAT YOU MEET MY SISTER ALONG THE WAY!" I felt myself shaking with anger while my three companions looked at each other. "Why didn't you talk to me!" I pointed at Jellal. He was the one that send me away to go to Crocus on my own while he could hang out with my Sister. "Now everybody thinks I'm dead. They already thought that but if I had come with you! Am I a secret you want to keep for Erza? Is Erza someone you want to keep a secret from me? Do you want her simply for yourself? Well to tell you something: that's not going to work. I thought she was dead but you knew. You knew and you didn't tell. Well sorry for you but your plan failed. I bumped into Raijinshu. I met Laxus, Evergreen, Bickslow and Freed. You know the four of them supposed to be stuck on Tenrou Island. They told me how they got back and they told me everyone was alive. Something that you should have done. This time I will beat you to show you my pain and anger, this time Ultear should not stop me. I trusted you! Why! Jellal explain to me, why you behave like this? If you want to show yourself and redeem yourself, than why lie to me?" Later I regretted a few of my words, especially the last but well yeah I said things in my anger.
"Let me explain," He started but I held up my hand. "No, don't." I didn't want to hear. "Ultear didn't want me to hang out too long with Crime Sorcière so here I go. I will see you at the Games. I know what we have to do. I will look for the source of the Dragons and you will look for Zeref. If I find some clues I will find you guys." Man I felt really angry, so without more words I walked away from the three of them. I didn't even glance back. I felt most of all betrayed by Jellal. He should have known better. When did he find out? How long had he known?
I ran into the city and tried to calm down and walk normally to not let everyone pay too much attention to me. I had to decide what I wanted to do, find Erza now and… and what? I didn't know but could I? I won't say it out loud but I was afraid of what the rest of Fairy Tail was going to say with my return. I have to come up with a great strategy before I would walk in. Maybe Laxus and the others already had told the others about me. "Wha," I quickly ran around the corner and pushed myself against the wall of the alley. "Gray-sama say aah." I looked around the corner to see Juvia and Gray. Of course the whole Guild was here and Crocus was big but I had to bump into Gray and Juvia eating Ice Cream. Haha ice Cream for an Ice Mage. I looked to my left and followed the alley quickly to not bump into them again. Stupid! I should have just go to the right and meet up with Juvia and Gray. Juvia, was one of my old team mates. They still looked so young, just like Raijinshu.
There were a lot of people at some point and of course I shouldn't be too curious but I wiggled my way through, but quickly hid behind someone else because I should have known: Lucy, Natsu and Happy where there. But also a strong Dragon-ish essence. Not the one I was looking for though. Not exactly. I recognised them from Weekly Sorcerer. The Twin Dragon Slayers. Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney. Sabertooth Members. Sabertooth was the strongest Guild in Fiore at this point. Only because Fairy Tail lost a lot of potential. I should hurry to the Fountain in the City Centre, it was almost time for me to meet up with Evergreen and the rest but I wanted to see Natsu and Lucy.
However this essence coming from the Twin Dragons. Maybe I should pay more attention to them. Although I already figured out right now that Sting was a person with a lot of arrogance. Rogue, the Black-haired Mage was more quiet so I couldn't really place him. Ugh only looking at them talking about Dragon Slayers made me want to puke. The arrogance the Twin Dragons held. I turned around and walked away. Natsu could do this on his own, he didn't need me in the slightest. I could hear the Exceed explain about the three Generations of Dragon Slayers. I waited, I was with my back to them but I could hear Natsu ask for their Dragons. I wanted to know about their Dragons. Maybe I was already looking for two more Dragons, would they be together with Igneel? I wondered if they knew about me. "I will give it to you straight. The Dragons that taught us Dragon Slayer Magic were slain by our own hand." The anger that subdued during the afternoon burst in again. I looked over my shoulder. I knew immediately that I hated the two of them, how dare they be so arrogant about the death of their own parent, slain by their own hands. I didn't listen anymore. I had to hurry to meet up with Evergreen but "Natsu, beat them up." I whispered, he wouldn't hear me. He wouldn't know I was here but damn the guts from Sting and Rogue. "Sorry I'm late!" I yelled across the centre plaza. "Huh?" Only Laxus was there. So I wasn't that late. "Let's go." He said though and I followed him. "Where are the others?" He shrugged. "Not here." I figured that one out by myself.
So now I had dinner with only Laxus? I blushed but quickly brushed it off and looked at something else. "So tell me what happened." Laxus told me about the first Master saving the Island and pulling it underwater. It needed seven years to recover. For him it felt like he had been gone for a month. "Everyone became so old." He teased and believe me Laxus and teasing is probably very rare. His conversation with me looked like it was forced, he didn't look at me and if he did, he looked angry. Still I listened and I was glad. "Why didn't you go back to the Guild?", "I didn't want to break everyone their concentration." What a bullshit, Luka. I said to myself. However Laxus nodded but I don't think he believed me. Just like I didn't believe Evergreen or the others with the idea that something came between and they couldn't come anymore. Dammit Ever, how did you know?
We talked and eat and I learned what had happened since their return. "We saved the world some time from a Clockwork and an huge Phoenix and well that was it." I laughed about his nonchalance but it was better than Sting and Rogue their arrogance. I believed Laxus had some arrogance too but he didn't show me now. "I'm just glad you are okay." We said at the same time and I quickly looked away from his face. "What have you been up to?" He asked. So I told about the Council and my request to find the Dragons. I left the Jellal part out.
"I need to be back at the Inn before Midnight." Laxus said after we talked and talked and had annoying silence moments. "You want to come? So you know where we stay." I nodded because I simply didn't want to leave his side yet. I followed him to the Honeybone Inn. He held my hand and pulled me inside. "You have to talk to Master." Not yet please! However the clock sprang to Midnight and Laxus was called for by Mirajane. I followed him without anyone looking at me. I had pulled the hood of my cape over my hair and face. I would talk to them as soon as Laxus was doing the something. "We need to enter the Grand Magic Games Elimination Round," Mirajane said. "It's good to see you again by the way Luka." I flashed a smile. Never try to keep a secret for Mirajane Strauss, it never works. There were two paths going to a Labyrinth, I saw Erza, Natsu, Gray and Lucy running on the path. Followed by Elfman. "Ahw not my brother." Mirajane muttered, although she didn't look sad. "Let's go." I looked at the others in the room. Gajeel, Juvia (whom smiled broadly at me) and.. Mystogan. My smile faltered. "I will talk to you later Juvia." I squeezed her hands, "Juvia is glad with that." She stepped on the path. "I will root for you." I said and I became bold for a second, I kissed Laxus his cheek and quickly waved them off. He glanced back at me a few times and it made me happy.
