Yes I'm guilty of not posting frequently I've just been sooo busy D:

I promise to update more frequently now.

So I've started reading Rurouni Kenshin. Is it just me or is it a bit sexist? Idk.

Anyway, enjoy!:

Sting's POV:

Damn. My torso hurt where she had elbowed me. I rubbed it grudgingly and frowned.

I had more important things to think about though. Sabertooth's annual ball was coming soon, and the Listings for the Grand Magic Games were going to be put up at 7:10… I checked the clock. 7:00. I walked across my room and headed towards the main hall.

Upon reaching it, I found it crowded already. Edging towards the center where the main competitors, Yukino, Rogue, Arya, Rufus, Minerva, and Orga stood. I watched as the clock slowly turned to 7:10.

At that moment, Master Jiemma appeared in front of us, and cleared his throat. Alright.

"Sting, Rogue, Yukino, Arya and Orga – will be on the team. Minerva, you are our reserve."

I grinned. But then again, I knew I was going to make the team. The guild members around us cheered loudly. I turned back to go to my room and found Rogue beside me.

"What's up?" I asked him.

"Well, now that we got selected, we might as well develop a training schedule," he muttered.

"Yeah, whatever," I said as we entered by room. "I'm more interested in getting a date for the ball."

"Hmph"

"Well, you should get one too Rogue. This is the only time a girl would willingly dance with you." I chuckled. "And it's the only ball we have in Sabertooth. It took a lot of prodding for Master Jiemma to schedule it."

"Yeah," Rogue answered.

"Anyway, I don't know who I should ask because all the girls in the guild would pretty much say yes... hmm… I have an idea."

Rogue's eyebrow twitched. "Yes?"

"How about I ask Arya, Rogue? That's an idea. She's pretty powerful, feisty, and a real challenge. Something I haven't seen in a long time." I held the thought for a while before turning back to Rogue.

"So?" I said to the dark-eyed mage. "What do you think?"

"I think you should focus more on your training, Sting. We're going to be facing Fairy Tail again… everyone knows this ball is just a stress-reliever." Rogue said nonchalantly, but I still could detect a bit of stress in his voice. I turned to him.

"Unless of course, you aren't thinking of asking her?"

He shrugged and stood up. "I think it's best if we retire now. Master expects us to train hard starting from tomorrow."
