Chapter Nineteen

As they got off the train, the group walked up to the large intimidating Sabertooth guild. Ascending the large concrete stairs, Lucille stopped a few steps away from the doors. Everyone stopped and waited, but Lucille said nothing. Natalie walked up to her sister and patted her shoulder. "Hey.." She said softly. "What's wrong?"

Lucille heaved a long sigh. What if they were mad at her? "It's just...what if they're mad at me? I mean, I heard a lot of the guilds searched for me and I know Sabertooth had to be one of them. Sting-san is close to dad and us, so I know he wouldn't hesitate to look for me. I'm just worried-" her explanation was stopped by Lance yanking her away from Natalie by the shoulders to look at him.

"Stop." Lance began, silencing Lucille. She just stared at him wide eyed. "You really think Master Sting would be mad at you? And Yukino-san? Rogue-san?" Lucille's eyes wavered. "No, they wouldn't, and you know that. You need to stop your worrying. It's not healthy. That's why we're here, together, with you." He rubbed the sides of her arms, the sensation sending shivers down her spine. Lance couldn't stand to see Lucille making any other expression but a happy go-lucky one. It wasn't her to be worried. Lucille always made a decision and charged forward to accomplish it. She's been that way ever since she was little, and obviously, after being in the Spirit World, she still is. Only now, she realized all the sadness she put everyone through and is dwelling on it. Lucille didn't dwell on things, she moved forward. This wasn't his Lucille. "They aren't mad, I'm sure. If anything, they'll probably be relieved!" He said giving her a smile, which she returned with a small chuckle. "And if they are mad," he turned to look at the others. "We'll kick their butts." He said giving her a confident, toothy grin with a thumbs up. The others nodded and smiled as encouragement.

Lucille looked at each of them and sighed, smiling. "Thanks you guys. I don't know what I'd do without you all."

"You can thank us later when this is over with." Lydia said waving her hand. Though she didn't mean to sound harsh, that was just her.

"Right." Lucille said nodding as she turned to face the doors. Before she stepped to open them, Natalie stopped her.

"Wait! How about you hide behind us, like a surprise! Then when they're all there, we'll part and show them you're here!" Natalie said excitedly.

"Ah, okay!" Lucille nodded. Natalie took the lead, Cain to the left of her with Ray, Lydia and Lance to the right of her. Lucille hid behind them.

"Ready?" Natalie asked. After getting nods she opened the doors. Members of the guild turned to look at the door, curiously. Natalie grinned her toothy smile and announced their arrival. "Hello everyone! It is I, Natalie Dragneel! Me and my friends and here to visit Master Sting and Yukino-san!" She looked around to see everyone smile and wave, but their smiles turned to grimaces when they heard two voices scream.

"NATALIE!?"

Lydia turned slightly to whisper to Lucille. "I would duck down just in case." Lucille's eyes widened and she nodded, bending herself down a bit.

Natalie gulped as a cloud of dust made by a Stellar Mage and a Light Dragon Slayer, came charging her way. Her eyes widened as both men stopped right in front of her. "Heh, hey guys." She said as she waved her hand a little. Leroy was nineteen and the oldest. He has brown eyes with blond bangs framing the side of his face and ending at the base of his neck. The rest of his hair is pulled back into a braid the ends at his shoulder blades. He has peach colored skin and wears a fish net shirt that begins at his neck and goes down to his waist, his guild mark is on his right shoulder in yellow. He wears a dark yellow jacket, light grey fur all around the trim of the jacket and along the cropped off sleeves; it goes down to the middle of his abdomen. Yellow gloves that go up his forearms, with grey straps adorn his hands. He wears a double black belt and slim grey pants that have a yellow trim down the sides of his leg, and wears black boots. Leroy was definitely the womanizer. Even when he was younger he was girl crazy. It didn't help that he was a charmer and good looking. He was definitely proud and full of himself.

Leroy beamed at her. "It's really you! I was just thinking about you, and now you're actually here!" Giving her his charming smile like he did to all the ladies, he was pushed aside by his brother Zane.

Zane was eighteen and the middle child. He has dark blue eyes and light blue hair, with fair skin like Yukino's. His bangs are open in the right side of his forehead and go to right above his ears, but the right side of his head has a short braid that goes past his ear to end at the same length as his chin. The rest of his hair is kept short. He has a silver, diamond shaped earring on his right ear. He wears a white jacket, with light grey fur around the collar that ends with a light blue circular orb placed on the middle of the jacket. A blue line goes from the end of the orb to the end of his jacket. Two blue lines go from the sides of the orb to around to his back. Light grey fur trims the end of his sleeves and the end of his jacket. He wears white slacks, and light grey boots. His guild mark is on his right shoulder blade in white, though you couldn't see it. Zane was more of a quiet person. He loved to learn new things, and liked things that were funky and impossible; like Natalie's hair. He was very loyal and sometimes shy. Zane grabs Natalie's hand and holds it like it's glass. "Natalie, you look even more beautiful than the last time I saw you. And your hair is even more gorgeous-" he was cut short by his hand being smacked away by Cain, who stood protectively in front of Natalie; Ray making sure to shield Lucille from anyone's sight.

"I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't flirt with my girlfriend." Cain said with a smile, but his tone was that of a warning. He wasn't happy that these two weirdos were flaunting all over Natalie, his mate. Both Zane and Leroy swallowed hard.

"Your...girlfriend?" Zane asked sadly.

"Heh, yeah. We're mates." Natalie said proudly as she held onto Cain's arm. Both men dropped their heads.

Leroy was the first to recover. He placed a hand on Zane's shoulder. "Well, we're out Zane. She's off limits. Especially if they're mates." Zane nodded sadly.

Zane straightened his form and put his sadness aside. "So, you said you're here to see mother and father? What for?" He asked.

"Oh, I'd like to explain with them here. Would you mind getting them for me? And Rogue-san too?" Natalie asked.

"Sure, I'll go get them!" Leroy said as he walked off in search of his parents.

"Hey! Is that Natalie?!" A rough woman's voice called out.

"Is that you, Bea?!" Natalie exclaimed. She would have run to her but she kept her position since they were still hiding Lucille.

The woman ran up to them and smiled. Her name was Beatrice and she was the daughter of Rogue and Kagura. Even though both were from a different guild, the chemistry between Rogue and Kagura blossomed. They got married and had two children, Beatrice, though she preferred to be called Bea, and Kenji. Bea was seventeen and a tough woman. She was intimidating, but that was just how she looked. Bea has red slanted eyes and purple hair styled like Kagura's. The only difference is she pulled the rest of her hair up into a pony tail by a red bow. She wears a black choker necklace and her guild mark is the Sabertooth mark that rests in the middle of her chest below her collar bone in red. She wears a dark grey tube top that has netting attached to the end of her top and ends at her waist. A black jacket with a large wide collar flairs from her neck and lays wide open but attaches from her belly down past her waist in a "w" fashion. Red gloves adorn her arms all the way to her biceps with small black bows on the sides. She wears red straight legged pants with black boots that begin below her knees, and are open toed. Bea intimidates a lot of people by her looks and aura. Not on purpose, that's just how she is. Once you get to know her, she's a friendly girl. Though she's witty and sarcastic, she still is a nice girl. "I can't believe it's you!" She waved to the others with a bright smile. "What are you all doing here?" Bea asked curiously.

"Ah, well-"

"Natalie!" Sting yelled from the stairs as he, Yukino, and Rogue descended down them and walked up to the group, Leroy in tow.

"It's great to see you!" Yukino said politely.

"To what do we owe the visit?" Rogue asked with a smile.

Lucille began to quiver. This was it. Ugh, would they be happy? Upset? As she shook, Ray and Lance noticed. Each put a hand on her shoulder as reassurance that everything would be okay. Lucille glanced up at the both of them and saw Ray wink at her and Lance give her a small smile. Lucille smiled and took a deep breath and let it out.

"Ah, you see, I'm not the one who needs to see you." Natalie said. They all gave her confused looks, that's when Natalie, Cain, Ray, Lance, and Lydia stepped aside to reveal Lucille.

Lucille had stood up straight before they parted, took a step forward and smiled nervously to Sting, Yukino, Rogue, Leroy, Zane, and Bea. "Hi everyone. It's me, Lucille. I'm..I'm back!" She smiled as she waved her hand.

Yukino gasped as she covered her mouth with her hands. Leroy, Zane, and Bea stood in shock. Sting and Rogue stared at her wide eyed. Yukino was the first to recover. She stepped forward and touched Lucille's cheek. She gazed at Lucille and broke out into a smile, tears falling down her cheeks. "It's really you. Lucille-chan, you're really back!" Yukino said as she wrapped Lucille into a hug.

Lucille's eyes widened and she watched as the rest of them broke out into smiles and grins. Then, all at once, they rushed to hug her and Yukino as well. Lucille closed her eyes and smiled as she wrapped her arms around them, a single tear falling down her cheek.

After a couple moments, they all parted, laughing as Lucille and Yukino wiped their tears. Sting was the one to speak first. "So Lucille, where were you?" He asked.

Lucille fixed the bag she was wearing on her shoulder to a more comfortable position. She rubbed her arm and glanced at Yukino before she spoke. "Well, to give you the short version, I went to the Spirit World."

"The Spirit World?!" Yukino exclaimed in shock.

"Yes." Lucille nodded. "I really wanted to be a Spirit Mage, so I called upon the Spirit King and pleaded for him to teach me. He accepted and I had to stay in the Spirit World. I was trained in different ways by the Spirits for eight years. When finally, the Spirit King said I was ready. My last test was to create my own Spirit Key." Lucille said smiling as she brought out Locksmith's key. "My Spirit's name is Locksmith. She can open any lock. Even unlocking someone's heart or mind for information. I can explain her power in detail later, but after I created her and summoned her, I finally became a Spirit Mage..Mom split her keys with me, or I should say, we allowed the Spirits to choose who they'd rather be with." Lucille looked at everyone. "I just got back a week and a half ago."

"But, how come the Spirits never told me about you being in the Spirit World?" Yukino asked curiously, and a little hurt.

Lucille looked down at her feet. "Ah, that would be because I...asked them not to?"

Yukino looked surprised and Lucille hastily explained. "It's nothing against you guys! I just wanted to focus. Since I was there I wanted to begin my training immediately, with no distractions. I mean, the faster I trained, the sooner I'd get to see you all again." She looked up hesitantly to see Yukino giving her a warm smile.

"I understand, Lucille-chan. You have always gone forth with your heart whenever you make a decision, and you are still that way. I understood ever since you were little that you would want to be a Spirit Mage, but you never showed any signs of getting that magic. So we thought you would be one who wouldn't have any magic. But that never made a difference to us on if you did or not. But I knew it mattered to you. So I completely understand your desire and decision for what you did back then." Yukino smiled as she grasped Lucille's hand with the Fairy Tail guild mark with both of her hands. "I'm just happy you are back." She said smiling.

"We all are." Sting said as he stroked Lucille's head.

"You guys.." Lucille said smiling. How could she have thought they'd be mad at her? Lance was right. Lucille turned to look at him. He looked back at her with a knowing smile. She had nothing to worry about. She should have know they'd just be happy that she was back. 'Thank you, Lance. Everyone.' Lucille thought as she thanked them to herself.

"So are you guys staying here for a bit?" Leroy asked noticing their bags. He stood close to Lucille, obviously he missed her but he would surely try to put a move on her. Ray and Lance growled at his close proximity to her. They were gonna watch her like a hawk to make sure he didn't so much as touch her. If he would, he'd be saying hi to his favorite Stellar Spirits, because he'd joining them when Ray and Lance would get through with him.

"Ah! Yes, if that's okay with you, Master Sting." Lucille said, bowing slightly.

Sting grinned. "Of course it's okay! I'd love for you all to stay here! Yukino, Rogue, would you mind showing them to the spare bedrooms?" He asked them, which they of course obliged. Yukino, along with Bea, lead the girls to the bedroom they'd be staying in in the girls quarters, and Rogue, along with Zane and Leroy, led the boys to theirs.

Leroy caught up with Cain and whispered to him, while the others walked ahead. "So, you and Natalie, eh? Nice." He said winking.

Cain tensed but relaxed. Leroy was no threat now that Cain had cleared things up. He smiled. "Yes, I'm very blessed." He said as he thought about Natalie.

Leroy nodded. "And Lucille, man, she sure filled out nicely. Though she was always cute, no, beautiful. I know my rep doesn't help me, but Lucille's the kind of girl I'd want. Knows what she wants and follows through, a take charge kind of woman, and isn't afraid to put me in my place; she always has anyway." He said chuckling as he rested his arms behind his head.

Cain looked to the side as he laughed nervously. Jeez, now another guy likes Lucille?! First Ray, then Lance, now Leroy?! Cain scratched his head. Boy did Lucille have it rough. 'Does she even notice?' he thought curiously. Leroy's voice brought him out of his thoughts when he asked a question Cain really wasn't sure how to answer.

"Do ya know if she likes anyone?"

"Uhh.." Cain said before they were interrupted by Rogue who showed them to a room with three beds. Thank goodness for Rogue's timing.

"Man, is it good to have you back, Lucille! It's like the gangs all together!" Bea said excitedly as she walked backwards.

"Ha ha, it's great to be back. How is Kenji? I thought he'd be here. What's his magic?" Lucille asked.

"Oh, he's doing good. He's a shadow dragon slayer like I am, and he also has the gravity change too. But, he wished to stay with mom at Mermaid Heel to train under her." Bea explained.

"But isn't Mermaid Heel women only?" Lydia asked curiously.

"Yeah, but since mom is the head master, she made an exception. No one was opposed either because they like Kenji." Bea giggled. "Oh! And don't tell anyone I told you girls but," Bea's voice got quieter as she leaned in close. "He came up to me and told me he's gay, that he has a crush on Zane." She said with a smile. The girls were surprised and Lucille blushed. "I haven't told mom and dad yet cause he's not ready to tell them, but I know they know. However, he's fifteen and Zane's eighteen. Plus, Zane doesn't swing that way so I feel for my little brother. But, he'll figure it out one day." She said confidently. All the girls nodded and encouraged her.

"But it is cute that he has a crush on Zane." Lydia commented before Yukino stopped in front of the door to their bedroom, which also had three beds. Bea nodded to Lydia and smiled. "Isn't it though?"

The girls dropped the stuff on the bed they desired and they made their way back to the Guild hall. Lucille then realized she had yet to meet Yukino's daughter. "Yukino-san, I have yet to meet Yuuna! How old is she?" Lucille asked excitedly.

Yukino realized this as well and smiled. "That's right! I was pregnant with her and gave birth to her a little after you left, so she's eight." She said cheerfully. "She's also a light dragon slayer." She said as they entered the guild hall with everyone else. They walked up to the boys. "Sting, do you know where Yuuna is? Lucille has yet to meet her."

"Oh, right! Hey Yuuna!" Sting called out for her.

A young girl appeared in the over hang above the hall. This young girl was Yuuna. Yuuna has peach skin and black eyes framed by white bangs that are close to her face like Yukino's. The rest of her hair is pulled into a pony tail by a light purple rose on the right side of her head, the end of her pony tail ends with a loose curl. She wears a white dress. The top crops off loosely and the straps falls loosely against her arms; fish netting attaches to the dress and covers her collar and neck. Her guild mark is on her left shoulder blade in white. A light purple rose rests on the top of her dress on her chest. The rest of the dress is wide and flows to right above her knees. She has fish net gloves that cut off at her wrist and cuts off at the beginning of her fingers. Her feet are adorned with light purple wedges that have light purple ribbons wrapping up her legs a little. "Yes, father?" She said in a quiet but mature voice. She held a book in her hands that she must have been reading.

"Come down here! I have someone I want you to meet." Sting said cheerfully. Yuuna nodded and made her way down. Sting leaned over to whisper to Lucille. "She's my little princess. Actually, she's pretty much the poster princess for Sabertooth!" He said proudly.

"I heard that father, and no I am not." Yuuna said calmly as she walked up to Sting.

"Ha ha ha, okay okay. Yuuna, I'd like to introduce you to Lucille. She's Uncle Natsu's other daughter and is a spirit Mage. Lucille, this is Yuuna, she's also a light dragon slayer." Sting said.

Yuuna curtsied and bowed her head some. "It is nice to finally meet you, Lucille-san."

Lucille's eyes became glittery. "I-It's nice to finally meet you too...wah!" Lucille couldn't resist her urge any longer, so she grabbed Yuuna in a hug. "She's just so cute, Sting, Yukino!" Lucille exclaimed as Yuuna allowed herself to be hugged. The others just laughed.

And here it is! I made it extra long since last week's was so short. And yes, Stingyu and Rogura are a part of my ships. Lol. I feel it's funny and I didn't plan for this, but this chapter is sorta a tribute to tomorrow's Fairy Tail episode! XD Didn't mean for that to happen at all! Lmbo And yes...Lucille has another guy! Oh noes! XP Also, I sorta wanted one of my characters to be gay, just cause. There's no real reason, I just noticed there aren't any gay characters (that I know of at least) that are gay in the Fairy Tail universe. So I decided, why not? So Kenji is! And of course he'll be brought up some time, but I hope you enjoyed this chapter!

By the way, just in case, Bea's name is pronounced "Bee-uh".
