Red hair filled his vision. He was never a poet, but those beautiful strands made him wish he was one. He had the sudden urge to create many of those poems.

He couldn't see her figure through the armour she donned but he didn't care. She oozed confidence and that was the sexiest thing a female could ever have.

Pity she was an enemy.

Erza Scarlet was never one to bother with stealth. She would rather burst in with her weapons blazing with Natsu's fire and attack every being who dared to even lock eyes with her. Yeah, call her vain, but she absolutely loved how Natsu could make his fire complement her hair while she attacked. He would groan and grumble how she would waste his fire in such a frivolous way but a glare would shut him up instantly.

That idiot. Why'd he go and get himself captured by the Sins of all the demon factions?

"Erza, we have a problem." Rogue spoke. His jaw was set, his eyes direct.

"What could possibly be worse?"

"I just sent a few of my shadows to get a feel of the place and the size of a potential disaster." He gulped before continuing. "The whole family of Sins are here.. and so are Gajeel, Laxus and Gray."

"Those bloody idiots!"

After injuring a nearby rock to release her anger, Erza took a deep breath and decided to continue with the rescue. No way was she going to leave her comrades in the hands of those beasts any longer. Hopefully, all of them could leave the place alive and intact.

A masculine laugh broke her thoughts. A laugh which belonged to neither of her two friends who took up the stance to defend their healer, Lisanna.

"Alive? Maybe. Intact? Well.. I'm not so sure about that." A lone figure appeared clad in black robes. His face was covered by his shaggy blue hair but Erza could almost make out a tattoo on his face.

As he combed his hair back with his hand, Erza almost cried out. "Je-Jellal?"

The male's eyes widened and he almost faltered before narrowing his eyes. "I don't know how you knew my name but that's not going to matter." He raised his hands, muttering and the clouds turned grey and ominous.

"Rogue,Sting! Take her and go! Bring them back!"

"B-but-"

"GO!"

Erza didn't bother to check if they did. The blinding light of the heavens was too fast for her to do so.

Juvia sat cross legged a few distance away from Gray. Content to just bask in his presence.

"Juvia! Come on! We can't keep on shouting to each other!" Ahhh. Even his raised voice made her come alive!

"Juvia loves you too!" Blood rushed to her cheek as she proclaimed her love for the umpteenth time since she woke up from embarrassingly fainting.

"That's not what I said and you know it!" He gave a huff and ruffled his raven hair. He stood up, his chest bare leaving only his lower amour on. Oh dear, what would Juvia sacrifice just to be one of those water droplets dripping from his hair to fall on his shoulder to his chiseled chest.. to run across every single ridge and... and... finally disappearing into the great unknown!

Oh dear, he's walking towards her! Juvia shrieked and turned around to swim deeper into her pool. Before she could, strong arms captured her from behind, making her blood rushed higher up to her head.

"No more running, Juvia." She gave a little scream as his voice whispered into her ear.

He turned her around and locked her close to his-his... naked chest!

Oh dear father, had she found the One?

Ignoring her generous chest pressed tightly against his took almost all of his control. Juvia was panting slightly and her cheeks were flushed. Her lips had opened slightly and it made Gray wonder, what would she taste like?

He slowly leaned in unconsciously, their breaths mingling. Gray swore he could almost taste seawater on his tongue.

His eyes quickly looked to hers, which were tightly shut. "Scared?" He whispered. Was his voice always that husky?

She nodded her head vigorously, her blue curls bouncing together. "Don't worry, I won't bite.." He closed the distance and kissed her, his tongue went inside her moist mouth and flicked against her tongue.

He didn't mind the taste of seawater anymore.

He gave slow flicks and traced her mouth as he ended the kiss. He then lightly nibbled her lower lip and released it.

He gave her a grin as he spoke,"Not yet anyway."

"Woah Gray! Didn't take you for the aggressive type!"

Juvia was so going to kill the angel who dared-huh? Where did he come from?

"Sting?" Her beloved's -no her fiance!- voice was filled with surprise and shame. Juvia's heart sank a bit. Was he ashamed he kissed her?

The newcomer gave a chuckle and smirked. "The one and only." He bowed. Juvia decided she was going to ram him.

Before she could do that though, Gray ushered her behind him and held her arm with his hand.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm bringing you home, Gray."

Laxus sat cross legged on the floor wondering where Mira could have went. He wasn't kidding when he somewhat wanted to claim her. Rubbing his face tiredly, he thought he prolly messed it up.

She had deliberately shut him out of her mind so he couldn't seek her. He could risk going out of her lair and get ambushed or he could try and be patient and wait for her.

"Laxus?"

He whipped his head head around, beyond surprised to find the angels' prominent healer standing just across him.

"Lisanna? The hell?"

"Don't associate my name with the damned realm, Laxus!"

"What are you doing here?"

"I was going to rescue Natsu but turns out you whole lot were stuck here! No more babbling, let's go!" She seemingly pulled a shadow from her feet and made it longer.

It smelled like Rogue.

"I'm not-"

"Laxus?"

Lisanna quickly stood infront of Laxus, her hands quickly working on the shadow to let Laxus pass. His manly self would most likely bristle at the thought of a female trying to defend him, but she couldn't waste any time on measly matters.

A female demon had stepped in, her aura bigger and more vicious than the demon in Natsu's dream. However, the moment she laid her eyes on Lisanna, her whole being froze, her eyes watering.

"Di-Dianna?" The demon then transformed into a female, almost similar, dare she say, to an angel.

Lisanna frowned. She had never met the demon before but the female made it seemed like she was seeing a long lost friend. Or sister.

"Mira she's- "

"I've missed you so much, Dianna." The female frowned and her tears fell.

It happened so fast, Laxus had no time to respond. Mira stepped forward and Lisanna flung the shadow over their heads to swallow both him and her.

The last thing he saw was Mira's anguished face, her hand outstretched to grab them but they were gone.
