Chapter 18:

-With Erza, Laxus, and Mirajane-

"So exactly how are we going to begin this?" Laxus asked whispering as they hid in the library behind a shelf of books eyeing Minerva through the cracks.

"Like I said" Erza said letting out a sigh, "This is where Mirajane comes in. When Mira transforms into Rogue we must make sure Minerva isn't catching on. If she does you know what to do Laxus, turn into a bolt of lightning and dash Mira out of there."

"Yeah, yeah" Laxus said rolling his eyes. Even though he acted like he didn't care one bit about Mira's safety, he really did. He knew that if Minerva tried to hurt Mira or anything he would step in right there and take her on himself.

"Good luck Mira" Erza said giving her comrade a thumbs up as Mira gave smile then let out a deep breath. In a little bright light, Mira soon looked exactly like Rogue from the face, expression, voice, and basically everything.

"Don't get yourself killed" Laxus said which made Erza elbow him in the gut.

"She can handle this" Erza said with her arms crossed, "After all she's a Fairy Tail member."

"I'm more concerned about what if Minerva finds out that it was actually Mira and not Rogue asking her all these questions about her love life and relationships."

Erza waved her hand up and down, "Now, like I said Mira can take care of herself Laxus."

Laxus rolled his eyes as he let out a huff as he and Erza then peered between the spaces of the books gazing at Mira who was now approaching Minerva who was reading some old, dusty book. He was seriously hoping Mira wouldn't blurt something out of the ordinary that Rogue wouldn't say.

"You guys what should I say?"

Laxus then looked over to see that Mira was actually standing near them about to walk around the shelf. That actually meant that, that Rogue was the real Rogue talking to Minerva. Laxus yanked Mira by the back of the shirt and pulled her back into the shelf.

"What's this about?" Mira whispered as Laxus then clasped a hand around her mouth to shush her. Erza then looked wide eyed that the real Rogue was actually here in the library.

Minerva then looked up from her book raising an eyebrow at the Shadow Dragon Slayer standing in front of her. He still had his nonchalant face as ever as he looked down at the mage.

"And what can I help you with?" Minerva asked flipping another page of her book as she grinned, "This is the first that you've actually wanted to talk to me."

"I've come to ask you why you are after Sting now." Rogue asked with his arms crossed and a not too pleased face, "You can tell he's happy with the fairy girl and I don't see why you're taking an interest so suddenly in him."

Minerva closed her book quietly as she narrowed her eyes at him, "What exactly are you trying to say here?"

Rogue's then once nonchalant expression turned into a chilling glare, "I'm here to tell you to stay away from Sting and Lucy. You have no right to be targeting Lucy since Sting has chosen to be with her. After all you can always go after Orga."

"And what exactly gives you permission to tell me what to do?" Minerva shouted as she stood up throwing her book on the side as she clutched her fist.

Rogue let out a huff of annoyance as he growled lightly in his throat, "I have permission to speak however I want to you since from this moment I'm no longer part of Sabertooth. You lack in the things that Fairy Tail such as nakama and taking care of your comrades. It has come to my attention that I don't belong in a guild like this."

Minerva then snorted as she placed her hands on her hips as a smirk curled onto her lips, "And exactly where will you go? It'll be your biggest mistake for leaving Sabertooth after all."

Rogue smirked a little bit, "I'll go to Fairy Tail if I must and leaving Sabertooth will be the best thing that has ever happened to me. But back to what I've come to say, if I come to hear you're after Sting and Lucy I hope you know that Fairy Tail will not let that slide easily." He then turned around and was about to walk away until Minerva had spoken again.

Minerva clutched her fists tighter as she slowly gritted her teeth, "And what makes you so sure that Fairy Tail will accept you? After all you were once part of Sabertooth their rival guild"

Rogue turned around back to his nonchalant face, "Since one certain blue haired mage has already accepted me for who I am. And they are willing to give second chances like they did to Gajeel-san." With that Rogue then walked away from Minerva who then kicked a nearby chair.

Rogue then stopped in his tracks, "Oh yeah one more thing. Try giving Orga a chance, maybe you'll begin to understand his feelings towards you." After saying that, Rogue then continued on his way out of the library.

Laxus looked over at Erza and Mira who had the same shocked expression as he did. First they realize that the Rogue talking to Minerva was actually the real deal, then he begins picking a fight with Minerva about staying away from Lucy and Sting. But the thing that shocked them the most is that Rogue had mentioned about joining Fairy Tail.

As soon as Minerva calmly picked the chair back up, she slammed open the library doors storming out in a huff.

"I still can't believe what he just said." Mira said with widened eyes, "The part about joining Fairy Tail is still in my head. He's changed after the Grand Magic Games haven't you noticed? He's become so close with Levy and is becoming a little more social each time."

Erza smiled and crossed her arms as she looked at the carpet floor, "I think it was Levy that put this influence on him becoming a better person. In reality, it was the way Levy accepted him that made him change."

Laxus rubbed the back of his head and let out a sigh, "Now you guys are getting a little too gushy about this stuff." Erza and Mira then let out a laugh, "Women…" He muttered slightly under his breath which made Erza give a little glare to him.

"So now what" Mira asked with a tone of excitement. She really was enjoying this little adventure that her, Laxus, and Erza were having. Spying on Minerva and seeing things that they thought they would never see Rogue actually do.

Erza stood in a proud stance her hands placed up on her hips as she lifted her chin in confidence, "Now, we must make sure that Orga and Minerva do get together!" She then pointed towards Mirajane, "And this is the time where you actually come in! Just like now, Laxus and I will hide behind something while we make sure everything goes right!"

Mira then clapped her hands in delight, "One new couple coming up!"

-With Lucy, Natsu, Sting, and Gray-

"There you are you idiot!" Gray said running up to Lucy and Natsu who were on this little bridge gazing at the river below. Gray then smacked Natsu in the back of the head as Natsu groaned and rubbed the area where Gray had smacked him.

"You didn't have to smack me ice stripper." Natsu groaned, "A simple wait for us would have worked."

Gray and Natsu soon began to argue back and forth as they were, Sting then approached the celestial mage who was standing besides Natsu smiling. He raised an eyebrow and wondered if Natsu was really the one that beautiful, radiant smile of hers.

"What did you guys do?" Sting asked suspiciously with a frown which made Lucy give a puzzled look.

"All we did was come up over here to the river." Lucy said with a calm tone, "And then Natsu and I started remembering things when we first met."

Sting was about then to say something as he quickly then bit his tongue. He knew whatever was about to come out of his mouth was going to come straight from jealousy. He had to admit he was kind of possessive about Lucy whenever she talked to any other guys then himself. But he knew if he told her to stop talking to Natsu and Gray, she would truly be highly angry.

"Whatever" Sting said coldly shoving his hands in his pockets as he looked the other way which made Lucy give off a confused look. She then just looked at the ground as she then noticed Gray and Natsu had finally stopped arguing.

"Come on Luce!" Natsu said grabbing Lucy by the arm, "Let's go explore this town more!"

Lucy then looked at Sting, "Sting you coming?"

Sting then turned the other way as he clasped his hands behind his head, "No I'm just going to head back now. Enjoy your time with your little Natsu-san."

As he said that Sting began walking leaving Lucy, Gray, and Natsu all confused. But most of all Lucy, he was calling Natsu hers? And then he just walks away all of the sudden like she did the most unspeakable thing in all of Fiore.

"It'll be alright Luce." Natsu said with a toothy grin placing a comforting arm around her, "I'm sure he's just all pissed about something."

Lucy then nodded smiling at Natsu, "You're probably right Natsu. Come on you three, let's go explore this town!" She then hooked her arm into Natsu and Gray's arms as they began to walk further into the town.

Sting looked back at the scene and growled loudly but not loud enough for them to hear. He kicked a nearby tree as it soon left a dent into it. He sighed as he soon then leaned against it closing his eyes to think.

"Sting"

Sting then opened his eyes and widened on who was standing in front of him. Standing in front of him right now was Yukino. He felt this weird feeling throughout his body as he looked into her chocolate brown eyes the ones that reminded him of Lucy's.

"Yukino what're you doing here?" Sting asked with his arms crossed and a smirk spread across his face. He was actually quite delighted to see the celestial mage here after everything they've gone through together.

"Well I wanted to see you again." Yukino said with her hands behind her back looking at the ground as blush soon tinted her cheeks, "And I wanted to do this."

At that exact moment, Yukino smashed her lips onto Sting's leaving him wide eyed. What was Yukino doing? Doesn't she know that he's already taken by Lucy? His mind was going insane with all these thoughts cluttering his head that he felt like he couldn't breathe.

"Sting there you are! We've been-"

Sting then pushed Yukino off him taking a deep breath as he soon realized that the voice belonged to a wide eyed Lucy alongside a pissed off Gray and Natsu. Lucy fell onto her knees still shocked on the sight she had just seen between Sting and Yukino.

Lucy then raised her hands up to her eyes as soon sparkling tears started dripping down on the sides. Gray then kneeled down beside Lucy pressing her head against his chest giving her a comforting hug. He then looked over to Sting and shook his head. If looks could kill, Gray's glare right now would've killed Sting on the spot. But not as close as Natsu's glare, now that was something to run to the hills for.

"It isn't what it looks-"

"It definitely is what it looks Sting!" Lucy said sobbing as her eyes began to soon puff up, "It's obvious to me now and I was so blind to think you actually cared for me. It's now clear to me that you've chosen Yukino."

As Sting was about to look back to Yukino he noticed that she had already disappeared off somewhere.

Damn that Yukino Sting said angrily to himself.

Sting began to walk to Lucy slowly as Natsu stood in front of Gray who was comforting Lucy still. Natsu cracked his knuckles which were engulfed in flames with an intense glare attached to his face. No longer was Natsu the person he was a few minutes ago, he was now a totally different person.

"Don't you go near Luce right now you bastard" Natsu growled, "Can't you tell she's already in enough pain right now?!" He then gestured his hand to Lucy who was still sobbing against Gray's chest as she let out deep breaths to help herself to keep breathing since she was crying so much.

Sting then clutched his fist tighter and gritted his teeth, "Tch whatever Lucy, and it's quite obvious to me that you've chosen Natsu." He then gave a sudden glare to Natsu as he then stormed away heading back to the house.

Lucy then began to wipe her tears away letting out another deep breath. Natsu then knelt down besides her and Gray and then gave her a comforting hug as well. He stroked his fingers through Lucy's golden locks as the celestial mage then looked up to him giving him a small smile.

"It's going to be alright Luce. I promise you." Natsu said with a smile, "I won't let anyone hurt you again? Okay?"

Lucy then nodded as she hugged Natsu back tightly as Gray then let out a sigh and scratched the back of his head. He really didn't think things were going to end up as they were right now, especially since homecoming was soon approaching.

Just a little note: Don't worry! Lucy and Sting are just over for now but they'll be back later . That's a little spoiler for you guys! SoRRY :3
