A.N: Here is "season two" of the Demon Hunter series guys :P

Demon Hunter 201

Rain doesn't stop Gajeel from filling my brain with demon knowledge.

"Uncle Gajeel…! Aren't you bored?!" I demand but the iron dragon slayer decides to continue his lesson on how dragons were neither demons nor human. It caught my intrest at first but now I was more concious about my last talk with Zeref than how Jari, Igneel, Metallicana and Grandeena were beautiful creatures.

"What is it, brat?" He questioned, shaking me out of my thoughts. He stares at me with a studded brow raised. Right then Papa decides to walk in and nods in our direction.

"Daddy, save me!"

Papa just chuckles, shakes his head and begins searching the library. "You need to study," was all he said before heading upstairs. Gajeel snickered at my pout and I crossed my arms in annoyance.

"What is it, Kuma? You usually don't daydream during these lessons," Gajeel remarked, closing the book and setting it onto the side of the table. I know I can trust him, he is a general and family, but I'm more afraid of what he would answer to my request. Not to mention Papa was in here, probably listning since he became even more over protective over me. "Uncle Gajeel… what would you say, hypothetically speaking, that I-uh... wanted to go to hell?"

I've never seen someone's head snap up so fast in my life.

"What?!" I hear both Gajeel and Papa demand, which instantly makes me regret my question. Daddy appeared out of thin air seconds later, sitting down beside me at the table.

He was in his normal human form, as we all were, his blue hair spiking all about. It's been about a month since that whole revelation came about. It took me a while to get use to seeing him as a diffrent person that was not Jellal, but it was actually kind of easy. Papa had virtually no simularities with Jellal other that their looks. His hazel eyes bore down at me along with Gajeel's fiery red ones. "Why in the world would you want to visit hell? Of all the places to take a field trip, you choose the one that is the most violent and the most dangerous!" He exclaimed and I flinch at his tone. Just the other day he accused me of loving the danger that came with being a hunter. I think he was right.

"But I—"

"Mystogan's right. You, Rogue and Sting maybe in the lead for the crown, but that doesn't mean your fuckin' invincible," Gajeel rolled his eyes but I could still feel the rising amount of anger charging from the both of them.

Sighing, I just nod and go back to drawing from my notebook. No more words are spoken about it. Papa mused my hair and kissed my cheek before going back upstairs. Gajeel began his review over the important dates of demonic history from the 34th century.

"They wouldn't even let me explain!"

"They just want to keep you safe."

"Cobalt's right, hell sounds more than unappealing. Then again it sounds awesome, too," Sting put his two cents in, grinning cockily.

Cobalt, Sting, Rogue, Neeya and I sat in my room. We were all relaxing, everyone doing their own shinanigans. I played my guitar, Rogue did homework, Sting copied Rogue's homework answers and Cobalt continued to fold and unfold Neeya's pocket knife.

Laughing at my blonde younger brother, I raise a brow, "How will copying Rogue's homework help you on the actual test?"

Sting rolled his eyes and blew a few blonde strands from his face. "Christ! Your sounding like Mom!"

"Well, Aunt Moka IS a teacher."

Sting pouted but attempted to try a problem on his own. His icy blue eyes glared at me when he got stuck on a particular part. Rogue chuckled and pointed him into the right direction. Those two did everything together. I'm pretty sure they still took baths together, too. Do they even sleep in their own rooms or do one of the two sneaks into the other? Either way, Rogue and Sting were inseprable.

Turning to Rogue, Neeya 'sneakily' reaches for another strawberry that was on his plate. He shook his head with a smirk and pushed the plate closer to my cat when she wasn't looking.

"Rogue. You admitted that you wanted to visit hell as well."

The twelve year old pauses on an equation. "Yes," he agreed before continuing his work. "I did say that."

Cobalt snorted, flicking blue bangs out of his now red eyes. He used the pocket knife to cut up Neeya's strawberry. She giggled and caught the slices in her mouth as he lightly tossed them to her. "You sounded hesitant there, buddy."

"I am simply trying to figure out where my dear evil sister is going with this," Rogue monotoned. His catious attitude made me want to laugh.

Placing my acoustic on its stand to switch to the eletric, I pass Cobalt the cord and he rose a brow in question. "Could you please plug that up in the amp?" I ask innocently and the water Dragon Slayer mumbled something about him being a slave in this joint.

As he did that, Sting let out a yell of excitement when Rogue told him he got a problem correct. "See, Nee-san! I'm just awesome!" He exclaimed and I laughed at the blonde boy.

"Yes, you are, Sting." Turning back to the darker haired twin, Rogue closes his math textbook in exchange for his literature one. "But, Rogue. There may be a way to do it!"

"No."

"You don't even know what my two plans were going to be!"

Rogue stopped writing to stare at me in disbelief, "Whenever you or Sting come up with an ingenious plan, shit hits the fan. Drastically." His red eyes flicker in amusement when Sting and I yell out in protest. The Shadow Dragon-Slayer's shoulders shook with silent laughter when Cobalt coughed 'burn'.

Sting stood up, defending his thought program. "I come up with good plans! Like, remember the time I wanted to see Mom's new bike?" He exclaimed with a triumphant smile. Why was his smile so bright, I had no clue. It might have been because he was the Light Dragon-Slayer.

Rogue was clearly not amused, "You mean in which afterwards Mother caught you on top of it and you scratched the paint job, when she specifically said do not go in the garage?"

"..."

Cobalt and I were now laughing harder than ever. Neeya let out a few giggles as well. Wiping away a tear, I jump in before Sting's pride is ripped to shreds by his brother's aloof personality.

"Even though that was brilliant, Sting, my first plan was just to have Wendy and Rogue ask Aunt Moka. You individually are hard to ignore: Wendy's sweet and you're reasonable. Put them together and your unstoppable. You two are clearly Moka's favorite!" I was excited. It might just work.

Rogue crushed my dream.

Clearing his throat, he finished his worksheet and closed the thick literature book in exchange for 'I've Lived a Thousand Years'. He turned to a marked page, glanced at his planner and mumbled what chapter numbers he must read and began reading.

"First off, your plan is based on opinion. Mother did not state aloud that Wendy and I are clearly her favorites, therefore the plan is already sketchy. In my opinion you and Hikari are her preferable children. It would not matter."

"Secondly, even if we did know who specifically were her favorites, the queen is not exactly relenting. We could beg, but that would not mean a thing. The majority of the time, Mother and Gajeel have the same opinion of a certain subject. Majority is the key word there. Usually it is on subjects that deal with our race for the crown. If both Mystogan and Gajeel said no to the idea of visiting Hell, Mother would assumedly agree. Perhaps we are meant to visit Hell when we are older and have matured. They would not just say no for any particular and/or personal reason, even if Gajeel does say 'because I said so' constantly. He's a general, his reasonings are only seen by the higher-ups."

The room was silent. Rogue was not affected in the least, flipping page after page in peace. Cobalt looked at me and mouthed 'he told you' which made me reply with the middle finger. Sting and Neeya sat on the bed, confusion adamant.

Rogue glanced up, "Your second plan, Nee-sama?"

Shaking my head to clear it, my smile makes his tense. "First off, drop the sama, I told you that! Secondly, we sneak out."

Rogue stared at me before closing the Holocaust book, "There are so many faults in those three words I will not even attempt to persuade you. In short; bitch please." He stood abruptly with his homework and headed towards the door when Sting stopped him.

"Ok, ok! We get it, your smart! So take those handsome brain cells and come up with a cover story when Nee-San and I are out!" He exclaimed excidetly with the brightest smile ever.

Rogue scoffed and pushed the blonde aside, "You are not going, Sting." With that, he walked out leaving the room to his own, most likely. Dennevah, his guard who had been sitting out in the hallway with her sister, stood up, waved inside the room and followed after him.

Sting sighed as Rogue sat in his room, glaring at him suspiciously. It had been a week since Kuma suggested the trip to Hell and no other words were spoken about it with Rogue. That made the shadow mage even more suspicious, thus is the reason he stayed in Sting's room during the day.

"You know, if your going to sit and glare at me, you can help me with my math homework while you do it." Sting growled, his brother annoying him like no tomorrow. The blonde had been angry that Rogue wouldn't even think about going and when he suggested going alone, Rogue would blow a fuse. So all together, Sting just stopped talking about it.

Rogue knew him though.

"You're not going, Sting."

"I. Know. That. Jesus Christ, Rogue! Your the one who keeps bringing it back up! Drop it. We ain't going."

"We are not," Rogue corrected idly.

Sting yelled in frustration which made the Shadow mage shake his head in amusement.

That night, Rogue slept with Sting as usual. Sting realized that being away from his brother caused literal physical pain. His chest would clench un-easily and he would shake horribly. His thoughts would revolve around nothing but his best friend. His partner. That was why he hesitated on going to another dimension without him. Though he knew they would have to seperate at some point.

Pulling the blanket over the shadow mage, the light mage grabbed his phone to text his sister that slept down the hallway. Thankfully he had turned the phone brightness down before bed so it was hardly noticeable in the dark of night. He felt Rogue stir and froze before relaxing when his brother went back to sleep.

The plan was made.

-Kuma PoV-

"Sting, did you still want to hang out today?"

"Of coarse! Who in their right mind would give up free dance lessons from a pop-star?" Sting answered immediately. He ate his breakfast of waffles and bacon wildly. Rogue sat next to him and eyed him closely.

He was so damn suspicious.

Koga, Cobalt, Dennevah, Claire, Shinra, Hikari and I sat with them in the castle's dining hall. Wendy and Eve were on a mission with their guilds, to defeat the Oracion Seis. Everyone ate their own breakfast of choice, having their own conversations.

Shinra glanced up at me with a raised brow, "You're teaching the tykes to dance? Aren't your dance routines a bit… provacative?" He questioned, smirking when I huffed in anger and embarrassment.

"I'm not going to teach my TWELVE YEAR OLD brother to pole dance, twerk or strip." I yell back, throwing a grape at him, which he caught easily. The occupants of the table laughed when Neeya asked what those things were around her strawberry.

"My FOURTEEN YEAR OLD daughter better not be doing any of those anyway."

I gulped but smiled sweetly when Dad took a seat beside me. He glared at me with a raised brow, taking a bite out of his waffle.

"N-No, Papa. I don't pole dance or strip." With that, I made my hasty retreat. It took a few seconds for Dad to hear the joke because by the time I get to my room, he's yelling something about no twerking. I couldn't help it, I jumped into my bed and laughed my ass off.

After a while, people started leaving to do their own thing today. Papa had to go on a mission. Claire and Dennevah were going to the movies with Koga and Shinra. Hikari was going to a seminar that featured her favorite author. Uncle Gajeel and Aunt Juvia were on their own mission, Onii-chan was banned from the castle for a little while and Aunt Lucy was with Team Natsu to defeat the Oracion Seis. Mirajane was at the guild working and Gerard...well, no one knows where Gerard goes on his free days. It was okay, though, he wasn't here! Everything was perfect! No one would be around to question Sting and I's motives.

Well, almost no one. We still had my guard and Sting's other half to avoid.

Sighing, I got dressed in one of Moka's gowns. It was a strapless royal purple with a wide black belt. Secretly I wore thigh high boots underneath and grabbed a cloak. Lastly, I collected my cell phone for directions from Zeref, a few thousand jewel, and my bag of diamonds Laxus gave me before the Fantasia. Whose to say I wouldn't need a little boost once we go under? You could never be to catious.

'This is a terrible idea, Kuma.' Takara chided lightly, her voice more mature and aged than mine.

I shrugged and headed towards the kitchen for my bag of snacks I packed just incase we got hungry. I had an idea of what Hell was like thanks to Zeref and Takara. It was set up like a village from the olden days and so we had to dress nicely. Cloaks would keep our identity and power hidden from any demons that went to the ball a couple of months back.

"Nee-San."

Turning towards Sting, he obviously knows how to clean up. Blonde hair spiked, blue button down and black slacks. His cloak was nestled in his arm. Smiling, the two of us head to the bottom of the castle where a portal would transfer us to Hell.

"Do you have your transporter?" I question him for the umpteenth time and Sting groans.

"Yes! It's right here," He held up his right arm to show a thick black band with a swirling purple and black orb in the middle. He makes me show him mine to make sure we both had a ticket home. As we head down the hallway that leads to the portal, my excitement grows. What was in Hell that made Zeref want me to see it, I had no clue. He just said go down to Hell if I wanted a surprise. Me, being the idiot that I am, have to go see it.

We were both whispering excidetly when someone interrupted us.

"Going somewhere, Kids?" Cobalt questioned lightly, he and Rogue standing in front of the portal. Neeya slept soundly on Cobalt's lap. Sting and I jumped from the surprise, hearts beating rapidly.

Sting laughed nervously yet looked away from Rogue guiltily. "Y-yeah. We kinda are..."

"No, you are not. Let's go, Sting." Rogue ordered darkly, walking past the blonde who stood there without the slightest inkling of moving. "Sting. Now."

The Light Slayer shook his head, though I saw him tremble while he did so. "No. You don't own me. I can do whatever I want. If you don't wanna go, that's fine, but me and Nee-San are and you can't stop me!"

I look at Cobalt, agreeing with Sting whole-heartedly. "If you wish not to go, you can't get in trouble. It's everyone's day off so you can pretend like you didn't know—"

The Water Mage interrupted me with a frown. "You're not going alone."

So the four of us stood there, Neeya still asleep in Cobalt's arms. Rogue glared angrily at Sting before he sighed and grabbed a transporter. He glided passed his brother without looking at him while putting on the thick black band. "You are an idiot who will hurt himself tripping over his own damn ego. Let's go."

Sting smiled and followed his twin through the portal with a whoop of excitement.

Cobalt, Neeya and I followed.

-Lets Check on Gajeel-

Gajeel and Juvia arrived at Yokai after completing a mission for Master Makarov. They had passed Team Natsu, whom had also finished their battle against Oracion Seis. Erza had told Gajeel to send Kuma home when he arrived and he agreed.

In the castle he saw Hikari and Wendy catching up in the dining room. Wendy retold all of her exploits during the mission to which Hikari would ask questions excidetly. It was then where Gajeel decided to interrupt.

"Oi, have you girls seen Kuma anywhere?"

They both shook her head and Wendy grabbed her cell phone.

"She's not in the castle. Neither is Sting, Neeya, Rogue or Cobalt. Dennevah said earlier her and Sting were going to have dance practice. I'll call her. Knowing her, she's probably somewhere in the woods!" She exclaimed happily as she scrolled through her contacts and tapped her second oldest sister's. Always the happy go lucky mage in her human form.

So Juvia and Gajeel waited as Wendy tapped her fingernails against the countertop while she hummed. Usually it took her sister three rings to answer but after five a male automated voice message answered.

"I'm sorry. This number does not exsist." Dial tone.

Wendy sat there, staring down at her phone, dumbfounded. She then began to shake her head in disbelief. "No.…"

"Wendy?" Hikari questioned, pulling out her phone to call Sting. Just as Wendy's call to their sister, Sting's number did not exsist. The third oldest also stared at her phone in bewilderment. They stared at each other then turned their gazes to Juvia and Gajeel.

Wendy stuttered, trying to stay strong. The Wind Slayer added false hope into her voice. "C-Call Cobalt, Juvia!"

Without having to be told twice, Juvia paced back and forth, waiting out the rings agonizingly slow. Why hadn't her son picked up? Even if he was upset with her, he always picked up to show he was alive and well. Five rings and then a male voice: "I'm sorry. This number does not exist."

Dial tone.

Juvia dropped to her knees, shaking like a leaf. "Wh-Where's my son?" She asked no one in particular, Gajeel staring at her in silent fear.

His ears heard it all, though he wanted to deny it. Someone had intervened with their lines, a demon no less. Either a demon was hacking their communication devices, or they were in another dimension. The kids could be off dying or only God knows what, and he wouldn't have a trace to lead him to them to rescue them.

"Shit!" He cursed, punching the wall with enough demon strength to shake all of Yokai.

Wendy called Rogue's phone but instead of another non-exsistant exsistant number, they heard his phone upstairs in the direction of his room. Without thinking, the young Dragon Slayer dashed up, hope shining. She cursed the long winding hallways, wishing they all could have lived in a mansion instead of a castle. Once she entered the room, the hope was shattered. Her eldest brother wasn't there. Rogue's phone sat on his bed neatly, mocking her. She walked back downstairs brokenly, holding up the phone for Gajeel's knowledge. "The room was cold," she informed quietly. "Like he's been gone all day. No scent. Nothing."

Gajeel sighed wearily, hands shaking tremendously in his pockets. Without another word, he walked out of the castle towards Fairy Tail.

-And Then!-

"Oh, wow!"

Hell had been more civilized than Kuma and Sting thought. The dimension was set up like a medieval Fiorian town with tents and vendors all about. Different deals and bargains wafted through the air, the most popular the pop star heard were for caramalized apples and metal-wick candles. Appearently they were used for rituals.

"We aren't in Magnolia anymore," Cobalt murmured, pulling his cloak around him to keep it from getting stepped on by rushing men and women. The group nodded, Rogue reading from a pocket sized book.

The Shadow Slayer looked around with hidden excitement, "They say Hell is a thriving city thrice the size of Crocus and Era combined for the capital." He informed, stepping out of the way of two demonic children playing tag.

In a way, Hell was nice. People bartered and traded for their keep. Children played with each other instead of being absorbed on phones and the like. It was a nice change in pace from the human world. Although Sting couldnt deny, he'd die without his iPhone 719.

Accidentally, Kuma bumped into someone.

"Ah? S-Sorry. My mistake!" She apologized before looking up to see a devilishly handsome young man about twice her age. He gave a naughty smile her way that made her blush terribly. Geez, what was her problem? She never went lovey dovey that quick before!

He reached for her hand and kissed it, onyx eyes locked on her amythest ones. "My apologies. The fault was mine. In my defense, I was blinded by the godess in front of me." Sexy-demon then kissed her cheeks slowly, deliciously slow. Right now the fourteen year old was putty. Her heart was racing and her stomach was growing hot. All she wanted to know was what did he look like without clothes-! She shook her head. That was wrong! But good lord he was fine!

Thinking about it, her dad would kill her for letting a twenty-something year old get close to her like that. Not to mention he was a demon, which meant he was probably older. Moka looked like she was in her early twenties yet, she was over four-hundred thousand years old.

She felt tugging on her hand.

"Nee-sama! Nee-sama, lets go! Sting is getting bored watching you flirt."

Embarrassed, Kuma shyly waved goodbye to the man and let Rogue drag her away. Once she was away from Sexy-Demon, however; she felt a cloud un-fog her mind. She gasped in realization. "Holy shit, that was a lust demon!"

"In the flesh," Cobalt snorted, a bit jealous at the exchange he witnessed. He knew it wasn't her fault. After all he was always uncomfortable around Mirajane. The succubus made him feel on cloud nine just standing next to her, so he knew how Kuma was caught of guard.

"Wow, Kuma. He was all over you! I guess they don't call you Temptress for nothin', huh?" Her blonde brother called out with a snicker, making Kuma show him her favorite middle finger.

Neeya giggled quietly at the whole exchange.

Gajeel tapped Erza on the shoulder gently.

She turned and nodded to him in a greeting before looking for her daughter. "Where's Kuma? Did she decide to stay at Yokai for the night anyway? I understand, it is getting late." The redhead scolded Natsu for trying to break her phone after he lost a level of Candy Crush. He was angry that he coul only get to level twenty and she was up to three-hundred and thirty-seven after a week.

"No, Erza. The brat... Kuma...she..," Gajeel cursed and looked away. Why was this so hard to say? Spit it out! He had both Natsu's and Erza's attention now.

Natsu gulped nervously. He didn't like the way the Iron Slayer paused. "Gajeel…?"

"She's missin'."

Erza never got up so fast in her life. Without thinking, she grabbed Gajeels jacket and slammed him onto the floor. Pinning him there, the guild was silent now. He hadn't fought back at all. Everyone noticed the two mages faces and knew instantly this wasn't just another FairyTail brawl.

"What do you mean MY daughter is MISSING?!" She screeched, eyes wild, hair frazzled. Gajeel just stared up at her, not afraid. Simply showing her that that was what he meant. Erza couldn't accept that though, so she she pulled him down to her eye level with a snarl.

"Start talking."

Silence.

"GAJEEL!"

With that the man snapped. "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY? My brat and your's are missin' with two other kids from Yokai! They all split up to do their own thing this mornin'— it was an off day. They could be normal little shits today! I come back from my mission and they aren't there! They ain't answerin' their god-fucking-damn phones either. They're. Fuckin'. Gone."

Erza began shaking, loosing the grip on Gajeel's jacket. No. She just got her back! Why did things keep happening to her? Kuma has been through to much and now she's missing? Everyone knew Kuma always kept her cellphone on her. If it was dead she would go home, to Fairy Tail, or to Yokai to charge it immediately so no one would have to worry.

"Lets go. We're going to Yokai. Natsu come with me. Lucy, Gray, stay here incase something comes up."

Everyone nodded. Erza helped Gajeel up and the three wizards raced towards Yokai.

Neeya could not stop staring at them. A blush rose on her cheeks in astonishment and her eyes watered at the beauty of them.

"Do you want them, Neeya?" Kuma questioned her kitty, looking at the two magic rings. Hell appearently sold everything, from demonic incantations to magical weapons. A certain pair of rings had caught the purple neko's eye and she couldn't stop looking at them.

"The cat's got a good eye! These rings transform into arm blades."

Neeya began to drool.

"Do you mind if she tries them out?" Cobalt questioned, musing Neeya's fur. Rogue and Sting were at a vendor that sold books, Sting complaining about how boring his brother was. The vendor chuckled and shook his head, giving his permission for Neeya to try them out.

The cat slid the rings onto her front stubs, more like bracelets because of her size. Eagerly, she jumped from Kuma's arms and transformed, now a head taller than both Kuma and Cobalt. She activated her magic and the cuffs surrounded themselves in a bright gold glow before two massive scythe like blades appeared. They stretched from her wrists to her elbows. "Ooohhh! Kuma can I get them? Can I get them, can I get them please? With caramel covered strawberries and crumbled pralines on top?"

Kuma hummed and stroked her chin, causing Neeya quite a bit of anguish. "Pralines you say? Does that come with a hug and a kiss?"

"Seven kisses and infinite hugs!" Neeya replied desperatly. Cobalt snickered at her act, they all knew Kuma would buy them.

"Hmm. That deals sort of hard to beat. Alright! We'll take 'em."

So now Neeya had another weapon besides her pocket knife. Kuma's phone vibrated and she glanced down at the text.

Start walking. Your guardians have begun to search for you and the boys. Head towards the tower.

She closed her phone and placed it back in her pocket. Looking in front of her, she saw a tower in the distance. Calling upon her group to follow her, Cobalt asked for the thousandth time where were they going. She vaugley answered, "Places."

Sting and Rogue were whispering to each other, before Sting spoke up. "Uh, hey, guys. My phone says Hikari called me, but I never heard it ring."

Cobalt and Kuma shared a look before pulling their phones out too. Cobalt cursed and showed Kuma his screen. "Mum called me six times. I haven't heard it ring once!"

"Yeah, Wendy called me too! So has Mom! What the hell? I was just on my phone, it didn't ring!" Furiously texting Zeref, he only sent a 'LOL' with a laughing hard face. XD

'You damned son of a—'

Takara chuckled 'I told you this was a bad idea.'

Kuma groaned loudly in frustration and began sprinting towards the tower. She didn't have time to frolick around anymore. She checked her phone again, only to see that her Dad had called her this time. 'Shit shit shit!' Rang through her head, why wasn't her phone working?!

"Damnit, Dad just called me!" She informed with a tight throat, trying hard not to panic. Cobalt grunted and said that Gajeel called him too. Sting added his two cents with the biggest kicker.

Moka called him. Three times.

Rogue actually sounded afraid, "Well I hope Wendy and Hikari can write four eulogies at once because we're going to fucking die!"

Kuma whined as they arrived in a woodland area. Sighing, she turned to the three boys she traveled with. Staring at each of them individually, she sighed and hugged Neeya closer. "This is what we'll do. One of you will go back home and sneak out of the castle."

Rogue shook his head, a sudden chill crawling through his spine. "The castle will be swarming with everone searching. I'm sure they've even called Laxus and Gerard home."

"Rogue's right. Having both generals and Mystogan in the vicinity means certain destruction. Mystogan can easily pop into the room without us having time to run. Plus, I'm sure Gramps has Fairy Tail searching as well. That's dozens of mages searching Magnolia." Cobalt added, biting his thumbnail nervously.

Damn he was cute.

Shaking her head, Sting looks at his phone. "Mom and Laxus called."

Kuma didn't even glance at her phone. She knew Erza and Mystogan were calling like crazy, trying to figure out where their daughter was. Instead she continued her plan as if her word were final. "Just do it. If you make it out of the castle, call. If you don't send a random emoji to save time. Stay out untill midnight and then say you got ambushed by a dark guild or something. I have to go to this tower, so I'm staying."

Cobalt's patience grew thin, "You don't HAVE to do anything! Actually—scratch that. You HAVE to face the family at some point. Why are we risking our lives for another damn secret of your's?!"

"I TOLD YOU TO STAY HOME SO DON'T BLAME ME! Don't even try. That's just being hypocritical!"

"I have to follow you, Dumbass! I'm your guard!"

"So we're pulling that, huh? Well since I am the boss of my guard...," Kuma's voice turned into Takara's, eyes flashing red with dominance. "GO. HOME. That's an order."

Cobalt gritted his teeth as his hand began to raise to the transporter. Anyone could tell he was fighting the order with everything he had. Kuma looked away from the hurt in his eyes, knowing he felt betrayed. He told her to cancel the order. In reply, she turned away and let Neeya go. She had been fighting to get to Cobalt.

Neeya landed on Cobalt's head and said, "I'll protect him, Kuma!"

Cobalt pressed the gem and they dissappeared.

-Lets check with Erza!-

Erza and Mystogan arrived at Kuma's room, looking for clues. Just as Erza was about to step in, she stopped. "Something's not right in here."

"So you've felt it as well?"

They stood outside the door, almost as if they were expecting the door to close. Erza suddenly jumped and turned towards Mystogan with an apologetic smile, "Sorry to compare you to my friend Jellal, but what type of demon are you?"

Mystogan nodded his head in understanding. "I'm an Alpha." Was all he supplied before glancing back into the room. He was definently weary of it. He heard Erza curse and he placed his focus on her.

"I was hoping you were an Incubus. Jellal could view Kuma's last dream in here." She muttered, trying to think of another plan.

Mystogan almost choked because she said it so casually. "You wanted a sex demon in my daughter's room?!"

Erza scoffed and poked Mystogan's forehead. "No. I wanted a dream reader in our daughter's room."

Mystogan sighed and grabbed Erza's wrist. He was obviously desperate if he could ask for a convict's help. Especially the convict that had the audacity to hurt his child. "Your wish is my command."

Turning into a demon, Mystogan made the two dissappear in a swirl of darkness. Erza shivered at the sudden cold, calling Mystogan an idiot for doing that so suddenly. Feeling her feet land on solid ground, she looked around to see she was inside Pristine, Era's high maximum security prison.

"Erza?!"

She looked up to see Jellal pin his cell, holding a book and eating. He stared at the two new visitors as though they had three heads. Erza waved and at the sound of footsteps turned away and raised her arms in a surrender position. Mystogan crossed his arms across his chess and waited. He blew purple hair out of his eyes and prepared himself for a fight.

A man with black hair in a bun and glasses appeared, demanding a reason for why the two were any where near Jellal's cell.

"Look, we need Jellal for a few hours. The situation is quite dire," Erza explained, without actually giving an explanation. She glanced at her old friend who seemed highly confused at the moment. He had placed the book down and pushed his meal to the side.

"Lahar."

The man turned to Mystogan with rage filled eyes. He knew that was a warning, but he couldn't help it. "You're not taking him, Mystogan. No way!"

That was Mystogan's breaking point. Without thinking, he had the man named Lahar thrown to a wall. "We don't have time for bullshit, Lahar! The Magic Council's already walking on thin ice with the shit they've pulled. Stealing from our queen? Kidnapping one of our princesses? Is that ringing any bells?! Hell, this favor is a bit to generous."

Erza slowly stepped towards Jellal cell and began to explain the situation. Jellal agreed that if he could get out, he would help.

It hadnt taken long for Mystogan to 'persuade' Lahar to opening Jellal's cell. Gulping, he took off the cuffs and glared at the three hard.

"You've got untill four in the morning."

-Kuma's PoV-

Sting, Rogue and I carefully ran across the forest land, trying to get to the tower. I held my phone and realized the calls were showing up less and less. They were searching hardcore now.

"Nee-sama, did you get a text yet?"

"No." Which meant Cobalt and Neeya hadn't got caught inside the castle. Hopefully they could make it out without that happening.

I was getting a bad feeling all of a sudden. With each step I took closer to that tower, the more I was willing to give up everything to get there. Zeref said it was a surprise, but I know whatever was in their could kill me. I was hesitant to even continue and I had a perfect excuse. Our family was worried about us, but at the end of that I realized I've come to far to back out with nothing. I could prove to Papa and Gajeel that I wasn't a failure, that I could survive a trip to Hell unscathed.

Sting and Rogue though? I am not sure.

Sting suddenly begins gasping behind me. "Nee-San... I'm getting a weird feeling in my stomach." And then he promptly threw the hell up. Rogue and I shared a glance before rushing over to our blonde brother. His back was curved as he got rid of the Debbie cakes we ate this afternoon.

"We've been in Hell to long in our human forms. Either we transform or get out of here." Rogue informed me as Sting heaved and shook with violent waves of pain. He coughed and spat out his breakfast as well.

Gross. Anything else and it'll be just stomach acid.

Rogue held on the his brother, fear evident in his eyes, "Sting, transform! Now!"

He nodded and closed his eyes, trying to focus. With an abrupt gasp, his blonde hair faded into white and his icy blue hues darkened into an unreal black. On the safe side, Rogue transformed as well. Black hair melted into snow white and red orbs into pale yellow.

"Are you alright now, Sting?" I ask and he nodded while spitting.

"I should be fine now. Why haven't you transform?"

Kuma shrugged and began running again.

"I'm no where near sick."
