Hey, minna! It's me, Otaku-chan, again! It's time for the long, though not that long, anticipated Chapter 3! I would have updated sooner, but I was in the middle of typing it when I had to go to school, so I left my computer on, and then my Dad turned it off! . But anyways, sorry for the wait that was longer than I wanted. Are you ready to meet the rest of the Sabertooth gang?
Sting: Why do they need to meet anyone else when they've already met me?
Otaku-chan: Believe it or not, Sting, the whole world does not revolve around you.
Lector: Yes it does! Sting-kun is the best wizard ever!
Frosch: Fro agrees. But Frosch also likes Rogue and Otaku-chan.
Rogue: ... *blushes*
Rufus: I have memorized Rogue's blushing face
Orga: I shall sing about its rareness!
Everyone: NO!
Otaku-chan: *knocks Orga out with a frying pan* Minna, please wait until later! You shall meet them formally then!
Please enjoy the Chapter!
I OWN NOTHING! IT ALL BELONGS TO HIRO MASHIMA-SENSEI!
When I came to, I was back in my bed. Yawning, I rolled over and snuggled up against my pillow. Lazily, I thought, Kaoru will probably start screaming at me to hurry up soon. I would move, but I'm SO comfy... I sighed contentedly and squeezed my pillow, revelling in its warmth. That's when it hit me. Warmth? Slowly, I forced one eye open and then the other. When I had opened my eyes, they were greeted with the sight of the blonde asshole from earlier, Sting, I think. He was smirking down at me, a welcome change in expression from when he had been glaring daggers at me. But why was he smirking. Blinking, I suddenly realized our position.
.
.
.
"KYAAAAAAAA!" I screamed, pushing him away from me. I accidentally used too much force, however, and he ended up in the wall like ten feet away. "Why the hell were you in the bed with me, asshole?" My voice rang out across the room. Suddenly realizing that there might be someone else in there, I glanced around quickly, so I could explain myself if there was someone else. Explain myself? But I don't even know what the shit is going on!
As I looked around the rest of the room, I noticed several other small beds much like one I was on. This made me think that I might be in something like a infirmary. Forgetting my original panic, I started looking closer at the room. The floor, ceiling, and walls were all made of the same wood material. The beds were arranged in two rows, and there were roughly ten of them, five on each side. There was a door at the far end of the room. The room was apparently in the middle of the building, as there were no windows on either side of the room.
Thoroughly freaked out, my head snapped back to Sting, who had, by now, managed to walk back over to my bedside. He was completely topless, which only emphasized his hard rock muscles. He was so stunning and gorgeous, it stunned me for a moment. But only a moment. "Where the hell have you taken me, you bastard?" I snarled, my tone menacing. He chuckled, which evolved into laughter. He was laughing, actually laughing. "Did I say something amusing, asshole?"
He looked at me, tears in his eyes, trying to stop laughing. Finally, he forced it down, though it remained in his eyes. "Has anyone ever told you that you have a foul mouth? Especially for a girl?"He was smiling now, a gorgeous, dreamy smile that would melt your heart if you weren't careful. And it almost got me. Not this time!
I continued to glare at him. "Only my brother." That's when it hit me. Kaoru. Where was Kaoru? "Hey! Where's my brother? Where's Kaoru? What did you do with him? If you hurt him, I swear to God, I'll kill you, even if I have to run to the ends of the earth!"
People often say I have a little bit of a brother complex. But I totally disagree. It was normal for me to be concerned in this situation, right? "Calm down, calm down. He's fine. He woke up a while ago. Rogue took him out to show him around the guild," he said, smirking, again. "Has anyone ever told you two that you look so alike that its freaky?"
I rolled my eyes. I had gotten this joke so many times, it was getting old. "Well duh. We are twins after all."
Leaning closer, that smirk still on his face, Sting whispered, "But I think you're way prettier than he is. You're gorgeous."
For a moment, my heart skipped a beat. But then I remembered that I still needed to find Kaoru. Turning away, a slight blush on my cheeks, I mumbled, "Take me to him."
Laughing again, a melodious sound that I was falling in love with, he picked me up in his arms. "Very well, Princess. I shall take you to him right away!" With that Sting ran to the door at the end of the room, opened it, and carried me through. Blushing furiously now, I yelled at him to put me down. He ignored me and carried me through a large room full of people, all dressed as though they were part of the circus. And they certainly all had their circus acts, though they looked a little like magic to me. People were flying, teleporting, and even transforming into strange animals I had never seen before.
Sting carried me over to a table in the corner, where many people were sitting deep in conversation. And Kaoru was in the middle of it. "Ne, Kaoru-chin, why are you wearing jewelry? Isn't that kind of stupid?" asked a girl about our age, or I think she was, as her hair reminded me of my grandmother's, short and white. In reality, she kinda reminded me of a snowflake. She was wearing a white cloak with blue trim, a white, feather collar, and white tails tied off by blue beads at the edges. (A/N: You know what her cloak looks like) Underneath she was wearing a white dress with blue design. She wore white heels with a blue ankle strap and white socks that came up to her mid thigh that had a blue border. She wore a blue choker with white trim and had a blue flower in her hair. The only thing that wasn't blue or white were her muddy, brown eyes. But really got my attention was how close she was sitting to Kaoru. I know he's my brother, but seeing that really got me pissed off. And, no, I do not have a brother complex!
Kaoru was clearly uncomfortable, as he kept trying to lean away from her. Clearing his throat, he said, "This earring represents the bond between me and my sister. We both wear one. Since we're twins, it his the constellation Gemini on it. She and I are the only family that we have. She's my best friend." Tears welled in my eyes as I was touched by Kaoru's words. But then he went on. "But man can she be stupid! I mean, who makes up a short cut and ends up getting your family lost?! Just how stupid is she?"
Jumping down from Sting's arms, I stepped forward, a vein popping out on my head. "Not as stupid as someone who followed me blindly without any questions."
Kaoru looked at me in surprise. "Yo, Yuuki! Ano... how much of that did you hear?"
I smiled at him sweetly, my aura completely black. "Enough." With that I lunged at him across the table, aiming to put my hands around his throat, but Sting caught me by the waist. I struggled against his grip. When I turned around to tell him to let me go, I saw him smirking again. Damn it, I hate that sexy smirk of his! I thought to myself. Taking a deep breath, I calmed down. Looking around the table, I said, "Anyway, who are these people?"
Suddenly, an adorable voice spoke up from the end of the table that I recognized instantly. "Fro is Fro! Fro likes Yuu-chan! Does Yuu-chan remember Fro?" I saw my cat frog at the end of the table and ran over and gave her a hug.
"Of course I do."
I looked next to Frosch and saw another adorable cat who was glaring at me. Before I could say anything, he introduced himself. "I'm Lector, the amazing Sting-kun's partner. Sting-kun is the best! Do you disagree?" I smiled at him and leaned down to whisper something in his ear. When I was done, he beamed at me and said, "Good! You are approved! So far, you are the only one that Sting-kun can marry!"
Everyone at the table blinked in shock. At the same time, both Sting and I exclaimed, "What?! Who would want to marry him/her?!" I was blushing a shade that would scorn and tomato, and to my surprise, when I looked over at Sting, so was he. Clearing my throat, I looked at Kaoru expectantly, as he was sitting next to Lector.
He sighed. "I am Kaoru Hitachiin (A/N: See what I did there? ;) ) I am Yuuki's twin sister. I am 18 years old."
"I am Yukino Aguria, a Sabertooth mage. I use celestial spirit magic. I'm 17." When I looked at who was talking, I realized it was the snowflake, who had yet again scooched closer to Kaoru.
Confused, I held up my hand. "Hold up. Magic? You mean you guys seriously use magic? What is this, an alternate universe?"
Sting slung his arm around my shoulder while Yukino looked at me like I was the dumbest person ever. "I see what you meant earlier, Kaoru-chin. She is dumb!"
My eye twitched and I turned to Sting to have him explain. "We do use magic here. It is very commonplace. Many are skilled with magic natural and here in guild, you group with others to cultivate it. And as to whether or not this is an alternate reality, that is highly probable, as, from what I've heard from Kaoru, you have no magic in your world."
Stumbling from the overload of information, I bumped into a person who had appeared beside me. It was the shadow guy from earlier. Surprise, I squealed and jumped back, only to bump into Sting. "U-ummm... You're the guy from before right?"
Glancing at me briefly he nodded. Then, turning to Frosch, he said, "Come on, we're taking a job." With that he walked away, taking my little Cat Frog with him.
"What's with him?" I asked, a little pissed at being given so little attention.
A giant guy with green, shaggy hair spoke up. "Rogue's always like that."
The blonde guy next to him nodded. "That's true. I have no memory of him ever expressing emotion."
I cocked my head, confused. "Really, but the first time I saw him, he broke down and cried like a baby..." The entire group gasped so loud, I think they sucked in all the oxygen in the surrounding area.
"You've got to be kidding me! But it's rumored only shows emotion in front of people he's really comfortable with! He hasn't even shown it in front of us!" Yelled Yukino. I simply smirked at her. Maybe smirking wasn't as bad as I thought it was when it was on Sting.
"Oy, oy!" yelled the green haired giant at the end of the table. He was wearing weird clothes too. (A/N: You know what he looks like)"We haven't finished introductions yet! Rufus, Sting, and I still have to go! I'll go first. But rather than tell you, I shall sing it to you!" Just as the giant inhaled a big breath, Sting jumped over and knocked him out, which was followed by everyone's sigh of relief.
I, however, was only confused. "Why'd you do that? Is he really that bad?"
Sting nodded fervently. "He's so bad he'll make you want to cut off your ears. I'll introduce him instead. This is Orga Nanagear. He uses Lightining God Slayer Magic. He is a mage of Sabertooth and is 19 years old. He can't sing."
I nodded. "Noted." I looked at the blonde next. He was wearing mostly crimson clothes as well as a hat with a giant feather. (A/N: You know what he looks like too. Sorry, just too lazy to describe what you already know)
Clearing his throat, he said, "I am Rufus Lohr, most esteemed mage of Sabertooth. My magic is memory make, which allows me to magically recreate things from my memory. I am 19 as well. Pleased to meet you." With that, he stood up, bowed, and began to drag Orga's unconscious body away, saying that it was a precautionary method in case he woke up singing.
I smiled. Finally, someone with manners. Finally, I turned to Sting, who had walked back over to my side. Smirking, yet again, he said, "I am Sting Eucliffe, greatest mage ever. I am partners with Lector and on team 'Twin Dragons of Sabertooth.' Obviously, I'm a member of Sabertooth. I'm 18 and my magic is White Dragon Slayer magic. It's magic that was literally taught to me by a dragon. And just so you know, Rogue is also 18 and uses the same type of magic, just shadow version."
Once again I raised my hand to ask a question, which probably also had an obvious answer. "Did you say dragon? Like breathing fire, flying?" At his smirking nod, all I managed was a 'huh.' Taking a deep breath, I moved on to introduce myself. "I'm Yuuki Hitachiin. I'm Kaoru's twin, so that would make me also 18 years old. I am currently a senior in high school, which, in case you don't know, is where us normal people go to get educated. And it is also where Kaoru and I should be heading back to." I added the last part as I saw Yukino lean on Kaoru, desperately trying to flirt with him.
At my words, Sting, Yukino, and Lector all began to freak out. Sting was the first to talk. "Why do you have to go so soon? Don't you think I'm gorgeous? Why don't you stay longer?"
Blushing profusely, I glared at him. "I never said that!"
"Did too. Right when we first met." he said, smirking again, the cocky bastard.
Recalling the memory, I blushed even harder and stared at the ground, furious with myself for saying that. Before I could say anything in my defense, Lector spoke up. "You can't leave! You have to marry Sting!" At this, both Sting and I fell face first in shock. While we both climbed up, the bitch began to speak.
"I don't really care if you go. But why do you have to take Kaoru-chin with you? You and your ugly clothes don't deserve to be in his presence." Before I could react, I felt Kaoru, who had remained silent this whole time, placing his hand over my mouth, just before profanities began to spew out.
Just because his hand was over my mouth, that didn't stop me from trying. "Oo bifm! Oo a fu ar oo?! Oor ust a hinhi lihla sla!" If you actually understood those words, they would seem a lot worse. As I continued to attempt to swear at her, Kaoru, with the help of Sting and Lector, though Lector didn't actually do anything, began dragging me out the door.
Biting Kaoru's hand, I finally freed my mouth. "You bitch! I'll remember this! You're just a fucking bitch! How the shit would you know what style is, you fucking snowflake?! Fuck you! I'll kill you! My clothes are a work of art!" Not satisfied with this, I wrenched free from Sting and Kaoru's grip, filled with strength supplied by anger. I ran towards her, intent to kill. As I ran, my fist began to emit a dark, pulsating light. I paid no attention however and kept charging.
She used her magic somehow and summoned some spirit. I didn't really care, as my brain had shut off. I had to kill her. She had insulted my clothes. She had tried to take my brother from me. (Okay so maybe I have a tiny brother complex). She had insulted my clothes!
Apparently the spirit she had threatened was a tough one, as I heard Sting call out, "No Yukino! Are you trying to kill her?!" But his voice sounded like it was in a tunnel.
What happened next seemed like it was in slow motion. The spirit she had summoned was a giant snake. By now, the dark light had surrounded my entire body. My body moved on its own, hitting the snake. As soon as my fist made contact, something like a black hole appeared. It was larger, almost twice as large as the snake. Slowly, it began engulfing the snake, until finally, nothing was left.
Everyone was stunned. Yukino's face was distorted with rage and confusion. But I saw none of it. Whatever I had just done had drained me to such an extent that my rage was forgotten. I think I heard Sting laughing at Yukino somewhere behind me, mocking her for losing. Kaoru was the only one who was paying attention to me. As if by some unspoken knowledge, he dashed forward to catch me just as I collapsed, unable to stand on my own anymore.
My mind was numb. I could feel myself being pulled into the same darkness that had swallowed the snake. It's so soothing. It's like going to sleep. So soft. So gentle. As my mind drifted off into nothingness, I could hear Kaoru yelling at someone. "Take me back to where we were. Maybe it'll tell us something!" I wanted to tell him to calm down. He could stay here if he wanted. I was just going to take a nap. A long nap.
Yay! We successfully made it through Chapter 3! I rewrote this thing like 3 times for you guys. I hope you like it! What will happen to Yuuki? What the heck was that power? Will Sting and Yuuki get married? Will we finally meet Natsu? Find out next time in "Chapter 4: Natsu"
Sting: Why is the chapter named after that bonehead?
Otaku-chan: Because, even if he is a bonehead, I feel like I at least owe him this much.
Natsu: Yeah! . . . HEY!
Otaku-chan: *grins at Natsu and high-fives Sting* Wari Natsu, but you walked into it. Anyway, see you next time minna!
Natsu: Wait, I'm not done yet
PLEASE READ CHAPTER 4: NATSU
