Later that same day Levy walked by herself in the direction of the hotel with a small smile in her face.

She should have known better then to suggest fairy tail have a day out in the spa, especially after the bar incident. It had been fun though, until Natsu and Gray went a little to far and destroyed the place.

Been here four days and already banned from three places. We're losing our touch. She mused lightly. A bottle clinked behind her and she looked around and saw nobody.

wait, where is everyone? She had decided to take a walk around the city because of how beautiful the day had been and could have sworn she had been in a populated area a moment ago.

I have really have to stop day dreaming She criticized herself. Just how many times am I going to end up in these creepy deserted places while I'm here!

The place she was standing looked to be old storage buildings. She could here a river near by and followed the sound brining her to the large river that flowed through the middle of the city, seems I walked into the ports storage area. She could see the tall statues of the arena and started to walk in their direction knowing her hotel was near by.

This place is giving me the creeps. she looked up at the old corroded buildings and crates. she continued to walk until down the side of the river when something started to feel off. It was quiet.

She looked at the water, it was moving and splashing at a stair case that led into the water. Yet she couldn't hear the sound of the waves.

she ground her foot into the gravel under her feet. not a sound. This was definitely a mages work.

She looked around and probably screamed but the sound was lost to her.

A tall boy with jet black hair, lips, and snake eyes stood behind her. She took a few steps back in shock at how close he was to her.

Kurohebi.

"Pretty girl, wanna come home and play with me?" His lips where out of sync with his words and she realized that she was hearing him in her head. What magic can make everything around me go deaf?

She didn't now but she needed to counter it. she wrote in the air Sound. Everything came back at once, the water, the gravel under her feet, and the sounds of the city in the distance.

Also his voice. ""Smart girl, come with me."

"Never." She said and wrote Trap and a a tangle of the word fell down over Kurohebi.

Solid Script: Speed. She wrote and she took off running, she new it was better to run then fight this time.

But as she ran the she felt she was running in in a think substance making it impossible to go far. Like the air had hardened around her. her running was as useless as trying to walk away.

She stopped and when she did it subsided. She to a step back and found it much easier. So it's only making it so i can't run. The first thing she needed to figure out what kind of magic he was mimicking.

She pulled out her pen and turned back in time to see Kurohebi breaking out of the trap using what seemed like a force of wind, air magic?, and walking towards her wiggling a finger. "No running girl. Master wouldn't like that, he wants you to come play."

"Tell your master he can go to hell!" Solid Script: Stone she wrote and flung it at him but he dodged it.

She didn't give him a break; Dark Ecriture: Daggers A row of daggers formed in front of her and shot toward him. He jump to get out of the way and in doing so fell into the river.

Levy ran to the edge waiting for a splash but instead found him seeming to stand on the water smiling at her. Water magic?

She watched him start running towards then seeming climb the air like a stair case at a increasing speed. Half way towards her he threw a punch at her and she, not knowing what to expect ducked and felt the wall she had been leaning over crumble at a force and saw the edge of the roof on the building behind her explode.

So thats it, he can change the air around him to harden, he wasn't standing on water, he was standing on solid air under him. She had never heard of that kind of magic but was reminded of Ren's air magic.

She heard a tutting noise and looked up seeing Kurohebi crouching on the wall above her. "My master wants to play with you. He wouldn't want your dragon powers being waisted here."

How did he know? She got up and backed away from him. "I'm not going with you, so we better get that threw that head of yours."

"But master will be mad at me if I don't bring your powers to him." My powers? Isn't this about getting revenge on Gajeel for spying on Raven Tail?

She didn't have time to contemplate for Kurohebi moved suddenly and attack her throwing another punch at her. This time it hit her in the gut sending her backwards. she landed on the ground hard knocking the wind out of her. she sat up and saw him charging again.

Solid Script: fire she shot it at him and it combusted around him making him hiss. So the air is thinner around him.

She wrote it again and shot it again giving her time to get up. He had learned and now the fire went out around him in an instant. So much for fire now.

He swiped his hands in two long slashing motion and she felt her arms sting she looked and saw slashes on bother her arms dripping blood.

Oriental Script: Zan:she swung her pen and sliced back him. Her arms stung at the motion but she didn't waver. "Two can play at that game." She said through gritted teeth.

He ducked backwards and when he jumped back yelled. "Air darts!"

Solid Script: Shield, she felt them fit her shield and the invisible darts whizz by her striking the building. I though he wanted me alive?

He through more air punched and kicks at her until her shield broke and one kick kicked her right into the chin knocking her backwards again. she got up shaking her arms weak from the injuries. she felt the air around he becoming weak and hard to breath also.

Solid Script: Lighting She aimed at him and it hit making him fly back. She needed to get out of here. She stood up.

Solid Script: Bindings the words she wrote out changed into a dark solid form and wrapped around his body in another trap.

Solid Script: Hammer she smashed him and he flew into a building. This guy was tough, the wolves had been easier to get rid of. He was still alive and looking at her laying on the ground in his bindings. She felt the air around her grow heavy and push her on the ground. "No going anywhere with out me." He teased standing up and forcing at his bindings.

Thats just what I was planning. She force her arm up and with a little difficulty pointing at him;

Dark Ecriture: Magic Drain they creeped over his body and she felt the air above her grow soft and she stood up. This was her chance to escape. she knew magic drain didn't last long so she hoped she could get far enough away so his magic couldn't get her.

Dark Ecriture: Wings the purple wings formed behind her and she bolted into the air less graceful then she would have likes. It was her first time using them and it was a lot harder then she thought it was. Plus she could feel her magic draining having such high letter magic in use. She made know the magic but her body still needed to gain the endurance to use so much at once.

She flew away, hoping in the right direction. she looked back and saw him break free of both her spells and run into the air. She had a far head start but she knew he was closing in on her. If he got close enough he could cause the air around her to make her fall to the ground.

She needed help. Suddenly a scent hit her that she recognized immediately. She look down and in the cover of her eyes caught sight of the one giving of the scent. Relief flooded her and she turned and flew towards them. She was about to yell out when she felt the ari suddenly stop around her.

No.

"Gaj-!" She screamed. before the air crushed at her throat cutting it off. she was slammed onto the roof off the building she was flying over.

"This wouldn't have happened if you behaved girl." said Kurohebi behind her.

She rolled around to face him; Solid script: Iron she wrote and it hit square on making him fall off the edge of the building breaking his magic on her. She ran to the opposite edge to the escape ladder and slip down it hitting the ground hard and sprinting off.

She ran around a corner and ran into someone. She screamed out thinking it was Kurohebi.

"Levy!" Came a voice that she was so glad to hear.

"Gajeel!" She gasped, her voice raspy from it vein shocked.

He grabbed her shoulders keeping her upright. "What the hell happened! I heard you yell and saw you dropping from the sky!"

"Kurohebi, he's- We need to get out to of here." She said shoving him and running but tripping her sight going black for a second.

"Fuck!" He yelled catching her, sweeping her up into his arms. He looked back and saw Kurohebi standing on top the roof of a building in the distance.

"That dragon Slayer will be mine!" He heard him yell. Gajeel glanced down at Levy in his arms then back at the roof but he was gone. Gajeel wanted to chase after the bastard but the more in his arms went weak and shake. She came first.

He headed off in the direction of the hotel and Levy relaxed as they got farther away from whee they left Kurohebi.

"Porlyusica is probably at the stadium in the infirmary but I'm sure Wendy will be there to patch you up."

Levy shook her head. "No, I'd rather not cause a commotion. Just, do you think we can sneak back into your room?"

"What about your arms?"

"They aren't as bad as they look. Just some bandages will work, I just really don;t want to sea with all the questions and, well you caring me in bleeding is definitely going to cause a commotion on it's own."

He nodded reluctantly. "If you want. But Makarov will want to know."

"We'll tell him tomorrow, promise."

They made the rest of the surprisingly short journey in silence both in their own thoughts. When the got to the place they slipped around back and Gajeel made the climb to his room.

He laid her on the bed and reach into his bag pulling out a shirt and tossing it to her. "Put this on, your covered in dust." He grumbled and headed to the main area leaving her alone to change.

She slipped on the large shirt, deciding to put her pants back on after shaking them out, a moment later she heard him nocked. "You can come in."

He entered carrying a simple med kit and wet wash cloth. Wordlessly he wiped her slashed and scrapes bandaging her arms. "How did he make these?" He asked finally.

"He was using some sort of air magic that made changed the density of air. Do you remember him using that ing of magic before?"

He shop his head. "No, he always seemed to have different magic each time I've seen him, which wasn't often."

"What else do you know about him?" She asked.

He tied of the last bandage. "Not much, he was the hardest member to get information on, even Ivan didn;t know much about him except he was willing to serve him."

Levy nodded.

"I'm sorry." He said suddenly.

"What?"

"It's my fault he came after you, he must have found out-"

"I don't think he came after me because of you. Not once did he mention you or your betrayal." she shook slightly. "I think he was targeting me alone."

"Why then?"

"I'm not sure, he was talking about my powers and he wanted to bring me to his master. He knew about my dragon slayer powers also." Why had he wanted her for that? And how did he know about her power when she only just announced it the guild. It honestly scared her, if he had attacked her because of Gajeel she would have understood but now.. It made her shake just thinking about it.

Gajeel pulled her into his arms and awkwardly rubbed her back, She smiled at him trying to comfort her. "Whatever the reason I'll protect ya."

She wrapped her soar muscles around his waist and married her face into his chest breathing deeply his scent calming her. She felt very safe here.

sadly though he felt him moved back. 'You better get back to your room and get some sleep."

He tried to get up but she held his shirt and didn't move.

"You okay?" He asked.

"No." She asked suddenly blushing deeply. "Gajeel?"

"What shrimp?"

"Could I stay here the night? I'm- I'm scared to be alone at the moment."

Gajeel was at a lost for words, of course he wouldn't complain but her saying it had caught him by surprise. "Why would you want to stay here?"

"I feel safe near you." She muttered.

She felt him pull away and get off the bed and her heart sank slightly. that is until he locked the door.

"Gajeel?"

"I don't want Lilly walking in and blabbing about this with his big mouth of his." He said walking back.

She smiled and hugged him pulling him into the bed. "Thank you." She said and she felt him chuckle.

He pulled her down with him so she rated in the crook of one of his arms, him on his back and her facing him on her side. She leaned in the battle and pain finally creeping back into her as the last of her adrenaline left her.

She moved closer to him and hissed at the movement.

"What was that?" He asked concerned. she looked down and lifted the shit up to look at her stomach, which was forming a decent bruise.

"He got me a few times with his air punches. I'm going to bruise." She mumbled. He ran his fingers over it and press in a few spots that made her hiss slightly.

"Doesn't look to serious at least." He said planting a kiss on the top of her head. "So get some sleep shrimp. Dragon slayer or not I bet you used more magic then you should have."

She nodded but before she did fall asleep she pulled herself up and kissed him. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders to keep her there making the kiss last longer. When she pulled away she saw him smiling.

"I love you Gajeel." She said getting a little red at the words.

He grinned and it annoyed her he wasn't blushing. "I know, and I still think your crazy for that."

"I don't see you complaining." She said falling back into her original position in his arm.

He brought his hand up around to rest on her waist. "I ain't."

She smiled and snuggled into him. It wasn't how she expected their first night together but it was still very nice. He was so warm she didn't even feel a need for a blanket and his steady breathing and heart beat was hypnotic. She wouldn't have mind enjoying the feeling a bit longer but was asleep almost as soon she closed her eyes.

Gajeel POV

After he felt Levy fall into a deep sleep he stayed up thinking a while longer. Just what did Ivan want with Levy? He hand;t heard anything about it and which bugged I'm. He knew Ivan wanted Laxus because of his Dragon Lacrimas and other than that Ivan had no interest in dragon slayer magic, unless it had power he could use to get back at Fairy tail, like him. But Levy would be useless to him.

He looked down at the sleeping girl, he couldn't help but be turned on by her in his shirt over size shirt and permanently messy hair. It made him more protective of her in some way and as his eyes trailed to her bandages on her arms and scrap on her chin he frowned. What ever it was he would keep her safe.

He closed his eyes and pushed the thoughts away, they could keep till morning. He was damn tired from staying up nearly all last night and from the events of that day.

He adjusted slightly, careful no to wake Levy, who only tightened her grip on his shirt and moved in closer.

I could definitely get used to having this girl around, was the last thing that went through his mind before followed her into a restful and well deserved sleep.
