Chapter 9: All's fair in Love and War

Happy Thursday! Or whatever day that it is for you. I'm sorry that I haven't update in a while! This is what happens when you don't save the chapters you have already written on a flash drive and your computer gets a virus so it has to go in and get fixed. So I've been forced to try and remember what I had already written which sucks because I was on Chapter 14 and Chapter 9 was so long ago. So this chapter is going to be a little shorter do to my writers block. Sorry my dears! Anyways, I hope you all are having a good day, which I am not due to the fact that I've been frantically typing on my school computer to get these chapters out for you Anyways, I want to thank you all so much for reading my story and following it for this long. It really means a lot to me and I especially love your reviews. So thank you to these lovely people for reviewing:

Now on with the fic!

RECAP:

Even though I wouldn't tell him, I was really excited. Laxus Dreyer was taking me out on a date!

CURRENT TIME (Laxus' POV):

Remember how I said I liked that cat. Yes? Well I fucking regret any nice word I ever said about Ryuu. I'm literally contemplating whether or not to take him back. I never thought I would meet a more conniving sneaky yet charming bastard in my life. "Damn Ryuu really is like me" I thought to myself.

FLASHBACK (Still in Laxus' POV):

As Lucy and I made our way into our room much to my dismay, Ryuu decided he was done napping. He crawled up the wonderful mounds of Lucy's breasts and sat on her shoulder.

"Miss Wucy" the little kitten began "can you come lay down with me I is afraid to be awone." He finished while rubbing his eyes with his paws. He then snuggled into her neck as if trying to show her he was truly afraid and did not want to be left alone.

"You are so kawaii Ryuu! But I had plans with Laxus" she said looking back at Laxus showing her disappointment in her eyes. "But since I can tell you're afraid I probably should stay here with you, if it is okay with you Laxus. I honestly really did want to go, is tomorrow okay?" Lucy said anticipating he would say yes.

"Sure, but like I said, I had everything all set and paid for so tomorrow I get to pick where and you get to pay. It also better be just the two of us. We can take Ryuu to that daycare they have down stairs" I told her smirking.

"Fine, don't pick something too crazy… then again something crazy might not be so bad as long as your there with me, goodnight Laxus" Lucy said with a smile and then turned around to walk into her room. I looked towards the retreating woman that owed me yet another favor. "This was going to be fun." I thought in my head. My eyes then started to focus on Lucy's wonderful figure and what I saw I wasn't quit expecting. Up on Lucy shoulder, Ryuu was looking straight at me. Once he noticed our eyes lock he dared to stick out his tongue at me in a way as if saying "haha I win she's staying with me!"

END OF FLASHBACK:

That little brat he was awake the whole damn time! He knew I wanted to take her out on a date. He just wants her all to himself. That damn asshole, he is a lot cleverer than I thought. Man am I going to have to kick my exceed's little ass. "Ya, we're definitely doing tough training tomorrow" I thought and then drifted off to sleep very pissed and very hungry.

(LUCY'S POV)

I woke up to the sound of many pots' and pans' banging, as well as to the smell of what I could only guess was chocolate chip pancakes and maple syrup. I also smelt bacon, eggs and French toast. I looked over to where Ryuu was sleeping last night and noticed he was no longer there. "Gees what are those two doing? Making food for an army or what?" I thought then rolled out of bed. As I got closer to the door I started hearing more bangs and tings from the pots and pans. "God damn can they be any louder!" I thought rubbing my head, feeling the headache form. I walked out into what used to be the beautiful kitchen/dining room that was a part of our hotel room and saw that it was indeed a war zone. There were broken plates, silverware and food lying all over the room.

"What are you two doing?!" I yelled at Laxus and Ryuu.

"I'm making breakfast for Miss. Wucy." Ryuu said while trying to flip a pancake onto a plate but it ended up landing on the floor.

"No, I'M making Lucy breakfast!" Laxus said glaring at the cat while cracking an egg into a bowl.

"No I am!" Ryuu protested followed by a 'no I am' from Laxus which escalated into a full out verbal battle resulting in louder banging of pots and more food flying. Both Laxus and Ryuu were yelling at each other so loudly that I couldn't even hear myself think!

"QUITE!" I yelled, silencing the pair. "Why are you both fighting to make me breakfast?" I asked them.

"Well I wanted to do something nice for you Lucy since we didn't get to have dinner together thanks to that cat!" Laxus said glaring over at Ryuu.

"Well I wanted to make breakfast for you to Miss. Wucy, as a way to say thank you for staying with me wast night." Ryuu said turning away from Laxus.

"So you both just wanted to do something nice for me? Why fight about it then? It would have been even more special if you both made it together. I guaranty I would have loved it even more. But considering the fact that you both ruined all the food we have, I guess that means were eating out." I told them putting a smile on my face.

"He started it." Laxus said.

"No you did!" Ryuu yelled back.

"Stop it both of you! Laxus you're an adult, aren't you a little old for tattling?" I asked placing my hand on my hip earning a laugh from Ryuu. The only reply he gave me was a tch.

"Twuce?" Ryuu asked.

"Truce" Laxus said picking up Ryuu.

We all then made our way down to one of the restaurants the resort had after asking room service if they could clean up the mess. I made Laxus and Ryuu apologize to them as well. We all made our way into a small café and ordered a breakfast consisting of pancakes, toast, and eggs; Laxus had a cup of coffee while Ryuu and I had orange juice. Once we were threw eating I decided we needed to come up with a plan for the last two weeks we had left here at the resort. I was sad that we had already hit the half way mark of this mission. Time had really flied while we were here. The first two weeks had all been capturing the criminals Aoi and Yuji, followed by cleaning up their mess. During which time Laxus and I flirted and grew a strong bond. Then of course we adopted Ryuu, or mini-Laxus. I was really glad that we were able to have so much fun on this mission. But what would happen at the end of this trip? What about our bet? I can really feel myself actually starting to fall for Laxus. I even accepted his offer for a date; thankfully Ryuu wanted me to stay with him. What would have happened if I did go with Laxus on that date? Well besides the fact, I really needed to thank Laxus for helping me get this strong, but I wish to get even more powerful. I want to be able to hold my own without my spirits. I however, was happy that I am able to keep out 6 spirits at one time. All I need to work on is my hand to hand combat, I already have defense set thanks to my Lucy Kick and my whip.

"Okay, Laxus what's the game plan for the next two weeks." I asked very seriously.

"I was just thinking about that. I know that we got pretty side track and the only thing we were thinking about was each other. When in reality the main reason we're here is because I was supposed to be training you. I want to help you kick ass in the S-Class exam, after you win that, then we can focus on the Games okay Blondie."

"What is the S-Cwass Exam? And what are the Games?" Ryuu asked.

"The S-Class Exam is a test that my guild throws that determines who is going to be the next S-Class wizard in our guild Fairy Tail. Only people who have shown a huge amount of magic growth are allowed to participate and only one will win. The Games is short for the Grand Magic Games. It is when many, many different guild all throughout Fiore, fight to determine who is the strongest guild of all." I told Ryuu patting his head.

"Ohh, and you want to be in both of these things?" He asked.

"I want to participate more than anything right now. I have to get strong so that I can beat the people who were mean to me and prove to them that I am not weak." I said smiling.

"I never thought you were weak Wucy. You're weally strong. I have no doubt that you will win Miss. Wucy" Ryuu said.

"I know you would never say that, you're too sweet and thank you Ryuu" I said wrapping my arms around him.

"Don't worry Luce, I will get you stronger than all of them even if it's the last thing I do." Laxus said, reassuring me.

"Thanks you guys." I said smiling.

"Here's the plan, you will meditate every morning for 3 hours to build up your stamina. The time will increase every few days. Then I want to get you a celestial spirit book, there has to be at least one of them around here somewhere. You might be able to learn some new spells like the one you tried to use last year during the game. Also ask your spirits if they know anything you should do to get yourself stronger. Because I am not a celestial spirit mage like you I can only help by building up your strength and helping you with your hand to hand combat. Understand?" Laxus told me.

"Yeah I understand. So when do we start?" I said.

"Now, let's go" Laxus told me then got up and headed outside. I picked up Ryuu and headed out to catch up to Laxus.
