~Chapter Twenty~

The Twin Dragon Slayers


Mind fuck.

Those are the words that would describe the speach Fuyu just screamed.

She was leaving?

The guild?

Pregnant?!

Roars of protest and threats scrambled throughout the guild as Fuyu jumped back down with Gray and Lyon's help. Juvia walked up to her and grabbed her hand.

"Your really leaving? For a whole year?" Nodding, Juvia began to cry.

"Hold on a second, let's not get hasty! Someone needs to be around you to make sure your okay!" Levy cried and Lucy nodded vigurously. "What happens if your sick and someone attacks you?! Use your brain, Fuyu!" Cana stood up-quite wobbly at that- and held up her cards. "They say if you go alone your in deep shit."

"I dont care! Im done, I'll come back in a year. Im a freakin S-Class, I can take care of myself!" Natsu stood up and grabbed Fuyu's hand. Trying to drag the hysteric girl down, he sighed when she kicked and screamed.

"Would you stop?!" He demanded, he and Fried trying to hold the girl down. "Uh, no?!" She yelled managing to kick him in the face and push her brother away from her. Gramps just let her do what she felt was best. Finally he sighed and coughed loud enough for everyone to turn towards him.

"I had a feeling you would want to leave, brat. And so here you go." Gramps passes her an envelope and she opened it. She saw a train ticket, a set of directions and a key. "But you must promise to come back A.S.A.P. alright?" Fuyu smiled and nodded. "Yes sir!"

"But Gramps!" Gray started but Makarov just held out a hand to shush him.

And that was over a week ago.

I had been in the town of Forza for over a week now. It was a nice and comfortable place, not to quiet but quiet enough. The people were kind and stuck to there buisness.

Walking through the market place, laughter from children and their innocent banters reverated through the air. Two kids in particular caught my eye.

"You two were trying to steal again! Thats it, Im calling the cops." Running over I grab their arms and scowl. "You boys are going to get the grounding of a lifetime! Im so sorry mister. These are my sons. I'll pay for anything that they took!" The two boys looked up at me and played along fairly quick. The blonde one looked down and the black haired one held guilt in his eyes.

"Mom...we were just trying to help!" The blonde cried and the shopkeeper sighed. The black haired one nodded and pushed a hand on my stomach which surprised me. "Little brother is hungry, right?" Blondie huffed and crossed his arms. "It could have been little sister!" While they playfully bickered I sighed and smiled at the shopkeeper wearily. "Im sorry! I dont know where they get this. I just got my paycheck this morning, I can pay whatever you need."

"You two should thank the heavens that you have such a hard working mother. If you wanna help her, stop making her worried alright?" The boys looked down and said a quick 'yes sir' while he passed me a bag full of groceries. "Good luck with those two, young lady."

There names were Sting Eucliffe and Rouge Cheney.

And they were both Dragon Slayers.

"Arigatou, Kaasan." Sting said with a secretive smile as he dug into dinner. The two didnt have a home and Ive gone through this much trouble to help them out. Rouge just chuckled and thanked me as well. They looked as though they hadnt eaten in days and so I kept the food coming until the giant pot was scraped clean. Sting ate like a dog while Rouge ate with the idiosyncrasy of manners. Although he ate a bit fast too. I didnt mind though. They reminded me of when Natsu-ototo and Gajeel-san had those eating contests in the guild. I was already missing them.

"You two have room for dessert?" I questioned and they both glanced at each other with obvious excitement. Setting down a huge slice of vanilla bean cake with whipped blueberry icing in front of each, they immedieately devour it. They both had this blissful face about having extra sugar enter there systems. I knew how it felt as well. Withdrawls were a bitch.

"Alright who calls a shower first?" Rouge looked up shyly. "Why are you being so nice to us Miss?" Smiling, I ruffled both of their heads and was surprised by how soft their hair was. "Because I dont have a reason to be mean! Plus you two look like you havent slept in a while. You guys can stay here with me for a long as you want." Sting looked close to tears and Rouge just smiled.

"Arigatou."

A.N) No she didnt!

Oh yes I did! I put Sting and Rouge in the story! Lol! Please leave a comment, let me know what you think is gonna happen. Until next time

Jane!
