Fairy tail Fanfic!

Chapter 5 A day with Wendy Marvell

Reader notes: one-hundred jewel is equal to roughly one US dollar.

The morning was quite eventful. Everyone who stayed at the guild hall overnight awoke to hear Ikiru throwing up in the bathroom.

"Oh, my head", Canna managed struggling to sit up.

*Bluuuur*

"Jeez that kids been at it for the past half an hour", Laxus cringed.

"Oh, that's right I lost, damn kid", Canna moaned quietly.

Wendy strolled in with Carla gliding above her and Natsu was following them with Happy supported on his shoulder.

*Bluuuur*

"What's that noise?", Natsu asked aloud.

"That noise is Ikiru throwing up", Laxus replied.

"Oh, was it the beer?", Wendy asked curiously.

"Yeah, but after twenty-seven pints in less than twelve hours who wouldn't be throwing up like that and considering he's only a kid, yeesshh...", Laxus explained still cringing from the noise.

*Bluuuur*

"Maybe I should go in and use my magic to make him feel better?", Wendy suggested.

"Trust me you do not wanna go in there", Macao squeaked coming out of the bathroom holding his nose. "He's not doin so good though, kid drunk too much."

"Well then I guess I have no choice", Wendy replied as she strolled towards the door.

"Wait you're actually going in there!?", Macao cautioned.

"Well yeah, he needs my help right and besides considering he's only just joined the guild he's fitting in really well and umm I wanna make it even better for him", Wendy insisted as she trotted into the bathroom.

"Sure is a kind one that girl", Makarov inputted.

"Yeah she is", Natsu continued.

"More kind than any of you anyway, she just went into the men's bathroom and none of you could last one minute in there!?", Carla yelled.

The men cringed in disappointment, "She's right."

Erza strolled in to the hall with Lucy at her side.

*Bluuuur*

"What's goin on?", Lucy questioned.

"What do ya think", Gary sarcastically commented as he slid up towards her.

"Well twenty-seven pints in one day ought to do that to you, usually people only get to about twelve against me. To think I lost for the first time to a kid. It's embarrassing", Canna stated.

"Wait how come you're never throwing up after a competition like that!?", Lucy shrieked.

"I'm used to it, how long do you think I've been drink..."

*Bluuuur*

Canna was interrupted by Ikiru's vomiting.

"I'm surprised you lasted that long old man. Nineteen's a new record isn't it?", Laxus teased.

"Oh, shut it. I'm old there's no way I could keep as much down as these two", Makarov replied.

Meanwhile as the conversation went on. Wendy was busy in the men's bathroom. She was knelt behind Ikiru using her healing magic to pull the alcohol from his body into the air. At the same time she was blowing the air harshly so that the smell of vomit was leaving through the windows.

*Errrrr*

"I'm starting to feel a little better", Ikiru mumbled.

Wendy wasn't talking back. She had to concentrate. After some time past without Ikiru throwing up and he spoke again.

"Thanks a lot Wendy I feel fine now", Ikiru addressed her gently.

Wendy stopped pulling the poisonous liquid known as alcohol from Ikiru's body. At this moment she dropped backwards to the floor and began to pant.

"Huh, huh, huh."

"Hey are you alright?", Ikiru asked her kindly.

Then Ikiru noticed the fluid in the air and it dropped straight on to Wendy. She was soaked in beer.

"Ah", she whimpered as she felt the liquid soak into her clothes.

"Oh, err, umm", Ikiru stuttered with a look of disappointment on his face. "I'm sorry Wendy if I hadn't drunk so carelessly you wouldn't be out of breath and covered in beer.

Wendy was still catching her breath. Using her magic for 20 minutes straight whilst blowing the air took a lot of energy.

"It's alright", she gasped. "We help each other out, that's how we do things in Fairy tail.

"Everything alright in there?", Natsu called in.

"Yeah, we'll be out in a sec", Ikiru called back.

"Seems like Ikiru's feeling better", Ikiru and Wendy heard Natsu say through the door.

"Umm, here", Ikiru offered standing up and putting out his hand to help Wendy up.

"Thanks", Wendy replied sweetly taking Ikiru's hand and pulling herself up.

Ikiru walked towards the door. Wendy slowly followed and then mumbled, "Ummm."

Her face was flustered she was looking at her soaked clothes.

Ikiru turned and saw the problem. Wendy would be really embarrassed walking out in front of everyone with soaked clothes that reeked of beer.

"Hey, just wait here a sec", Ikiru told Wendy as he snook out of the bathroom.

"What are you..."

Ikiru had already left.

Almost immediately after leaving Ikiru came back into the bathroom with his bag. He pulled his black hooded cloak out of it and handed it to Wendy. "Here, you can wear this over those clothes. When you get the chance leave and wait for me outside around the corner. I'll take you somewhere so you can wash that beer out."

"Errr, right thanks."

"No problem, now let's go."

Ikiru lead out. Wendy followed close behind him covered up in the cloak.

"Looks like he's alright", Natsu mumbled whilst eating.

"Aye", Happy echoed.

"Hey is that Wendy", Natsu pointed towards the small cloaked figure as she made her way towards the door.

Wendy stood still hoping that they wouldn't notice her wet clothes. Gray walked up behind her and she felt him grab the top of the hood preparing to pull it down. She closed her eyes and blushed bright red as she prepared for the worst.

"Don't!", Ikiru yelled as he clenched Gray's wrist and a sharp power powerful shot of dark energy flew from Ikiru's feet through his body and up to the roof.

"Go", Ikiru whispered sharply.

With this Wendy sprang out of the guild hall and around the corner holding the hood up on the cloak.

"Hey what's your problem!", Gray yelled. "Let go."

"Err", Ikiru let go of Gray's hand. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to..."

Ikiru ran out of the Guild hall and around the corner with his bag in his hands.

"Ikiru wait!", Erza called out.

No response.

"Damn it, the Master leaves for five minutes and this happens now", Erza complained.

"Hey I think the person in the cloak was Wendy coz she isn't in here", Natsu called poking his head out of the Men's bathroom.

"I wonder what that was all about", Canna chimed in.

"Yeah", Lucy agreed.

Everyone stood looking out of the door. Gray was clenching his wrist it was burned by Ikiru's energy when he grabbed it. Erza noticed this.

"Well we can worry about what it was about later, now we need to find them", Erza explained. "Lucy help me look for them, Canna can I trust you to take care of Gray and explain what happened to the Master?"

"Yeah, sure", she replied more seriously than normal.

"Wait what about us?", Warren asked.

"Help take care of Gray", Erza barked.

"Right!"

"Lucy come on let's go."

"Wait, I'm coming too", Carla declared flying after them.

"Let's go!"

Moments earlier.

Ikiru ran out of the guild hall and around the corner.

"Ikiru wait!", Erza called out.

Ikiru ignored it and proceeded to run down the alley. He saw Wendy stood in the cloak and grabbed her arm as he ran past. They both started running together.

"Where are we going?", Wendy asked while they were running.

They ran and twisted and turned through many streets before Ikiru answered.

"In here", Ikiru pulled Wendy into and Inn and they both stood supporting themselves on their knees, catching their breath.

Everyone in the bar section of the inn turned to Wendy and Ikiru. Ikiru approached the bar and Wendy followed.

"Excuse me", Ikiru tried grabbing the attention of the innkeeper or bartender while still trying to catch his breath.

A middle aged woman behind the bar addressed them ,"Oh, hello are you looking for a room?"

"Uh, uh, yes please", Ikiru panted. "Just for today, uh."

"So a room for two for one day, would you like meals and drinks included?"

"Yes uh please."

"Alright then, lunch is served from twelve until one so come to the bar when you're ready and the evening meals will be brought to your room at six o'clock. It's room seven upstairs to the right", she handed over a key. "That'll be one-thousand jewel."

"Thank you miss", Ikiru said gently taking the key he had caught his breath. He took one of his smaller bags of jewel from his bag and laid it on the bar.

"You're welcome, have you been in a rush?", the woman questioned as she counted the cash.

"You could say that", Wendy muttered quietly.

"Is that so, alright I'll bring you up some drinks in just a moment", she informed them after confirming the right amount of money.

"Thank you!" Ikiru called down as he began to climb the stairs.

"Err, thank you", Wendy bowed to the woman and followed Ikiru up.

Ikiru shoved the key into room seven's huge oak door and opened it. He let Wendy in and followed locking the door behind them.

"Finally", Ikiru groaned as he flopped onto one of the two single beds.

"Ikiru I err... thanks, it means a lot that you'd do this for me."

Ikiru didn't say anything instead he laid where he was and smiled at her.

Then Ikiru stood up and opened the wardrobe next to him, "Well then you'd better take a shower here." He threw a towel and a white gown to Wendy.

"But what about my clothes?", Wendy asked.

Ikiru dropped a plastic bag outside the en suite bathroom. "Take that in with you and put your clothes in it. Then drop it outside and while you're in the shower I'll take them to the cleaners along with my cloak and my other set of clothes.", Ikiru explained.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, it's fine besides we wouldn't be in this mess if you hadn't needed to help me earlier."

*Knock Knock*

"Come in", Ikiru called.

He heard a key opening the door.

"Here are your drinks", a man addressed them as he strolled in and laid the tray with the drinks on, on a table. "Hi I'm Rio, I own this inn and the Lady at the bar downstairs is my wife Sandra.

Ikiru approached the broad looking man and shook his hand, "Thank you Rio, I'm Ikiru and this my friend Wendy."

"It's a pleasure", Wendy greeted as she bowed to him.

"The pleasure is mine, young lady. I saw you both run in earlier you must be parched so I'll leave you to your drinks", Rio commented as he left the room.

"Thank you", Wendy and Ikiru both addressed him at the same time.

The door closed.

*Bang*

*Glug Glug*

Ikiru downed half of his glass of lemonade and began to speak, "Alright then, when you're ready I'll head to the cleaners. I'll lock the door from the other side and slip the key underneath in case you need to leave ok."

"Ok, then just a second."

*sip sip*

Wendy drunk a small amount of her drink and took her gown and towel into the bathroom and threw out a bag of clothes.

Ikiru took his extra set of clothes from his bag and added it to the bag that was going to the cleaners. Before he took off he called to Wendy, "I'm heading out Wendy I'll see ya later."

"Ok", Ikiru heard quietly under the sound of running water.

Ikiru smiled as he left the room. He turned and locked the big oak door for room number seven and slid the key underneath.

He strolled down the stairs with the bag swung over his shoulder. "Rio I'm heading out I'll be back in time for lunch."

"Alright then I'll get two meals ready for when you get back."

"Thanks", Ikiru called back as he headed out.

He came outside and covered his face from the immaculate sunlight. Twisting and turning through several streets Ikiru found himself at a cleaners. It looked welcoming. Popping in through the door he was greeted by a kind, "Welcome."

"Hi."

"Is it just that bag young man?", asked the aged woman.

"Yeah", Ikiru replied handing over the bag.

"Ok, this will take about ten minutes and it'll cost one-hundred and twenty jewel", she explained.

Ikiru handed over some jewel out of his pocket. The aged woman counted the money and took the bag away to wash the clothes. Ikiru leant against the wall and waited for the clothes to be cleaned.

Ikiru could feel the power of the demon within him. His right arm was throbbing and the veins on it became clearly visible as they poked his skin out. He clenched it. He just had to keep control until Luso arrived he thought to himself.

"Excuse me young man", the woman addressed him. "The clothes are finished."

"Thank you, that was quick", Ikiru praised.

"It's no problem, besides we aren't getting much business these days. Most young people have older relatives wash their clothes for them", she explained handing over the bag.

"Huh, yeah well, I've never been good at cleaning or washing and my cooking is only average", Ikiru related scratching his head.

"Oh well, everyone's different. They're still a bit damp so when you get home hang them up or lay them out to dry. Also can I ask why there are some girls clothes in there?"

"Oh, they're my friend's, we're kinda in a weird situation. Well thanks again."

"Come again", the woman called as Ikiru left back to the inn.

Back at the guild hall.

"So that's what happened", Canna explained to Master Makarov.

"Euh", he sighed. "Well they'll be back tomorrow."

"Natsu could you not have sniffed them out?", Lucy asked.

"Uhh, maybe but not like it matters now."

"Jeez", Lucy face palmed.

Ikiru entered the inn and headed to the bar.

"Hey Ikiru, your meals are ready", Rio addressed him putting out two plates onto the bar. One was a fish meal the other a chicken meal. "Is your friend coming down?"

"Well actually she's kinda in a situation so would it be ok if I took these upstairs and brought the plates down later?", Ikiru asked.

"Sure thing, here", Rio granted handing Ikiru a tray for the meals.

"Thanks", Ikiru nodded as he headed up with the bag of clean clothes and the meals.

Ikiru tapped the bottom of the door to room number seven twice with his foot.

*Knock Knock*

"It's Ikiru", he called in.

He heard the key in the door twisting. He started to move in as the door opened. Ikiru stumbled in.

He regained his balance but was still leant forward his face was directly in front of Wendy's.

They both blushed. Wendy was wearing the white gown with the white towel twisted into a cone on her head.

"Umm, sorry", Ikiru apologised regaining his posture. He kicked the door shut behind him. He placed the tray of meals on the coffee table. "Umm, I brought up the meals so take your pick."

"Umm, thanks."

The coffee table with the food on was placed between the two single beds. Wendy and Ikiru sat on the edges of either bed dangling their legs off. Looking towards the food.

Wendy turned the tray around on the table and dug into the fish meal. Likewise Ikiru began to eat the chicken meal.

After a few minutes later they left the cutlery on the empty plates and wiped their faces.

"Oh, right", Ikiru started. "The clothes are still a bit damp so I'll lay em out to dry on the balcony table."

"Umm, alright."

Ikiru walked out with the bag and quickly walked back in. He took the tray with the empty dishes down to the bar and thanked Rio. Walking back into room seven he shut the door behind him. Wendy's hair had dried and she had laid the towel out to dry that was on her head. She had fixed her back to the way it was.

Ikiru sat on his bed, opposite to Wendy. They looked at each other. When they made eye contact they both turned their heads away and blushed.

"Umm, Wendy."

"Um, yes what is it?", she asked nervously.

"Well it's just, um, I think you look really pretty", Ikiru complimented he was bright red. Strange considering he wasn't red when he kissed Erza.

"Umm", Wendy muttered. She put her hands over her heart. She'd never been complimented for that before. Suddenly the red left her face and she became calm. "Thank you Ikiru, I've never been complimented for my looks before; thank you for helping me out today as well I know it cost you a lot of money."

"Don't mention it you helped me out this morning, although I'm surprised you haven't been told that you're cute or something like that."

"Well guys seem to like girls who are ya know... bigger", Wendy blushed again and covered her chest with her arms.

"Uh, well I don't know what to say about that but, just be yourself."

"Uh?"

"Well what I mean is, that doesn't matter to some people, as long as you keep being the way you are you'll be fine. You're a really kind person Wendy. People like that", Ikiru explained. "Well to be honest, you're young anyway so I think it'd be kinda creepy if people started calling you cute. Especially those guys from Fairy tail."

"Ha hum", Wendy giggled.

"Ha-ha", Ikiru laughed as well.

"Well, Ikiru? Does it matter to you?"

"What!?", Ikiru was a little shocked to hear what Wendy was asking.

"Big breasts, do they matter to you?", Wendy asked as she stood up.

"No well, I'm not thinking about things like that right now. I have other things on my mind, like getting my power under control", Ikiru explained, he was red in the face again.

Wendy came and sat next to Ikiru on his bed. "Well then, is it alright if I stay like this for a while?", she asked slipping down and hugging Ikiru's left arm.

"Uhh, um sure", Ikiru smiled. The red left his face. "I didn't realise you were such a self conscious person Wendy."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well you seem to be one of those people who cares more about what people think of your personality and behaviour rather than your appearance, if you get me?"

"Well I care about both but probably the personality over appearance", Wendy explained calmly squeezing Ikiru tighter.

"Ah", Ikiru cringed.

"Uh, sorry was that too tight!?", Wendy asked apologetically.

"It usually wouldn't be let me just...", Ikiru pulled up his sleeve on his left arm to discover it was the same as his right except he could see the dark energy pulsing through his veins. They were a black purple colour now on both arms.

Wendy saw his arms as well. "Uh, what's wrong with them!?", she asked hastily with a sense of fear.

"It's the demon he's slowly taking over don't worry though, Luso should be here soon and he'll fix it."

"Um, I don't think I can stop it but if it hurts maybe I can soothe the pain a little?"

"I don't know if that's a good idea, what if it reacts to you?"

"I have to try!", Wendy insisted.

"Alright but be careful", Ikiru explained.

"Umm, you ready?"

"Yeah", Ikiru nodded nervously holding out his arms.

The green light appeared over Ikiru's arms and under Wendy's hands. Ikiru could hear Wendy struggling or concentrating intently. He couldn't tell. "Umm."

"Is that better?", she asked.

"Well it doesn't hurt anymore, they've gone numb. But that's better than the pain, Thanks Wendy."

"It's no problem but I can't help thinking I should try to pull it out, like with the beer."

"I don't think that's a good idea I don't know what it might do. It could be poisonous or something."

"You shouldn't say things like that. This stuff is coursing through your body", Wendy worried.

"Uh, sorry I just don't know what'll happen and after everything else that's happened I..."

Wendy clasped Ikiru's hands to comfort him and smiled. Ikiru turned his head away in disappointment trying not to remember what he had done in the past.

"Hey it's a hot day the clothes might be dry now?", Wendy speculated trying to change the subject. She could see Ikiru was troubled.

"Uhh, yeah. If you wanna change in here I'll go into the bathroom", Ikiru explained standing up.

"Alright."

Ikiru went into the bathroom while Wendy changed. The toilet flushed and the tap ran.

"I'm finished", Wendy called out and Ikiru came out of the bathroom drying his hands on a towel.

Wendy was back in her usual clothes. "I bet they'll be mad when we go back tomorrow", she stated.

"They probably will but just let me handle it, it's my fault anyway", Ikiru explained folding the towel and placing it on the radiator. "Well we've got time to kill for the rest of the day lets go down to the bar and have some fun."

The rest of there day consisted of games most of which people were caught cheating using magic but it was just abit of fun. Wendy and Ikiru had their evening meals and had a long conversation with Rio and Sandra about how they ended up running into the inn.

"So you two are from Fairy tail huh?", Rio punted.

"Yeah, I'm the newest member, well I think so anyway", Ikiru replied.

"Well it's getting late I'm gonna lock up."

"Alright, goodnight."

"Goodnight", Wendy told Sandra.

Ikiru and Wendy headed up to their room for the night.

"So they're from Fairy tail huh?", Sandra asked Rio.

"Yeah", he confirmed locking the door and swinging around the *open* sign.

"To think a young punk and a little kid like her got into one of Fiore's top guilds. They must rather be hiding their strength or be Wizards in training."

"Maybe, both?", Sandra speculated.

"Yeah, maybe", Rio agreed.

The lights went out in the bar and in the upstairs corridor as Rio and Sandra headed to their living area.

"Hey Wendy I'm kinda a heavy sleeper so when you wake up can you just shake me up or something?", Ikiru asked.

"Yeah sure."

"Thanks."

Ikiru took of his shirt and went for a shower before he went to bed when he came out Wendy was wearing a pure white night dress. Ikiru's hair was still wet and so he had a towel hung over his shoulders.

Ikiru pulled a confused face. Wendy didn't have a bag with her so where did she get the extra clothes.

Wendy noticed the confused look on Ikiru's face. "Hey what's wrong?"

"Well I was wondering where you got that nightdress I mean you don't have a bag with you."

"Uh, well Sandra noticed I didn't have a bag with me and so she lent it to me. She said I could keep it because it was too small for her. It was nice of her."

"Oh that makes sense."

"So what do you think?", Wendy asked giving a twirl.

"It looks good on you", Ikiru blushed.

"Thanks", Wendy blushed too. She didn't realise that Ikiru had such a muscular physique.

Drying off his hair Ikiru checked the door was locked, hung up the towel to dry and slid under his bed sheets.

"Goodnight", he gently yawned to Wendy.

Wendy did the same and then replied, "Goodnight."

Ikiru flicked the switch at the side of his bed and the lights went out.

Ikiru could feel the pulsing in his arms again and he thought to himself, "Hurry up Luso I can't hold on for much longer!" He hesitantly and agitatedly fell asleep.
