Hey guys, I'm back with a another chapter for this fic! I'm glad to see that pretty much all of you really enjoyed last chapter and Natsu's long-awaited fight against Laxus. This chapter will pick up where the previous one left off, and will have the Natsu x Mirajane lemon. This chapter will also finish off the Battle for Fairy Tail arc, and next chapter we'll start the Oración Seis arc, which I know a lot of you are excited for. Also, this will be the final update for this fic for a little while, because I have to focus on my Akame ga Kill fic next, then my Pokemon fic after that. So again I just ask you all to patient, and a new chapter will come out eventually.
P.S. My Hero Academia season 3 is coming out in April 2018! Let the hype begin!
P.P.S (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, SO PLEASE READ) I'm sure most of you have heard of this already, and are probably sick of seeing it, but the FCC is about to have a vote to repeal net neutrality on December 14th, and we need to stop that. Please get yourselves informed, watch videos and read articles about this topic, then spread the word about this subject and speak out. I'm not gonna lie and say I'm an expert about this subject, but I do know enough that net neutrality is a great thing, and it will be very bad if it's repealed. It can be as simple as writing your representatives a letter, just make it known that we support net neutrality and an open and free internet. This is seriously scary guys, if net neutrality is repealed and we don't try to save it, then these giant ISPs are going to start screwing us big time, more than they already are. So I implore you, please speak out against this and defend our right to a free internet. I've already left a message with my member of the House of Representatives and Senator showing my support for net neutrality, so now it's your turn to stand up and help save the internet's freedom!
Well that's all I wanted to say, so let's get to the fic!

(Two Days Later)
With the internal battle for Fairy Tail now over, the town of Magnolia has returned to celebrating the Harvest Festival, almost if nothing had even happened. The scars and bruises earned during the fight only served to strengthen the bonds between Fairy Tail's members. Within Fairy Tail's guild hall most of its members were laughing, drinking, and being as rowdy as usual; although most of them were covered in gauze and bandages, evidence of the fierce battle they had all fought. However, all the clamor within the guild silenced when Erza suddenly walked out of the guild's infirmary; where Master Makarov was currently resting.
"Well everyone, it looks like Porlyusica-san managed to save master from immediate danger." Erza announced, walking towards where most of the other guild members were gathered. Everyone stopped what they were doing to listen to what the scarlet-haired knight had to say. "You can all rest easy now, master is going to be just fine."
"That's amazing news!" Lucy cheered with a bright smile, as she clapped her hands together. "I was so worried after Levy-chan told me what happened!"
"Heh, you're gonna need a whole damn army to take jii-chan out." Gray added with a smirk, slapping his hand onto the table. "There's no way he'd go down so easy!"
"That's true...but he's definitely starting to show his age..." Erza said with a sad smile, rubbing her arm almost nervously. "If he's put under too much stress his condition could worsen again. I'd like you all to please keep that in mind."
"Are we really still going to put on the Fantasia parade in our sorry state?" Elfman asked, as he stared down at the bandages wrapped around his chest and stomach. "I mean we all kinda look like shit right now."
"Well the master still wants the parade to go on, so..." Erza replied, crossing her arms over her chest and shaking her head. "And I understand why he wants to do this...it's in situations like this that we need a distraction...something to take our minds off our worries."
"Juvia is really looking forward to seeing the Fantasia parade!" Juvia chirped with a bright smile, as she practically shook with excitement. "Even while in Phantom Lord I heard stories about how amazing it was!"
"What are you talking about girl?!" Cana asked with a smirk, patting Juvia on the shoulder. "You're taking part in the festival, not watching!"
"WHAT?!" Juvia exclaimed, as her ocean blue eyes shot open in shock. "But Juvia only joined the guild recently...Juvia couldn't..."
"Sure you can!" Cana exclaimed, wrapping her arm around Juvia's neck and pulling her close. "A sexy girl like you...I know you'll do awesome!"
"C-C-Cana-san!" Juvia stuttered out, as her face burned bright red and steam blew out from her ears.
"With so many people injured we need anyone who can still move around to participate." Happy explained, before taking a bite of his fish.
"Huh? Does that mean I'll have to take part too?" Lucy asked, pointing to herself. "What about Natsu and Gajeel? Will they be able to join in? I haven't seen Natsu in almost two days."
"I don't know, I haven't seen flame brain or Gajeel in a while either." Gray replied, as he stroked his chin. "They both kinda just disappeared once things settled down after they fought against Laxus."
"They should both be here pretty soon." Elfman said, surprising both Gray and Lucy. "My nee-chan and Gajeel are actually taking care of Natsu. Apparently Natsu got really banged up during his fight with Laxus, so nee-chan offered to patch them both up. Then Gajeel said something about owing Natsu a favor, so he decided to stay and help nee-chan out. They've been over his house the past two days."
"Is that so?" Lucy muttered, a small smirk spreading across her face. "Looks like Mira-san is starting to make her move. Well I wish her luck since she is the one who thought of sharing Natsu in the first place."
"All right easy with him Gajeel, he's still pretty hurt." As if on cue Mirajane's sweet, yet concerned, voice was heard just outside the guild's front doors. Slowly the front doors slid open, revealing Gajeel supporting, a heavily bandaged, Natsu. Gajeel on the other hand only had a few bandages on his arms, with some gauze wrapped around his forehead; other than that he looked largely uninjured. Following right behind them was Mirajane, who was still carrying a pouch full of basic medical supplies. "Set him down by everyone else, Gajeel."
"Got it." Gajeel said, as he helped Natsu walk over towards an empty seat between Lucy and Erza. With a pained grunt, Natsu plopped down into the seat, immediately resting his head on the table. "You okay here, Salamander?"
"Yeah, I'm good Gajeel." Natsu replied weakly, giving the iron dragon slayer a thumbs up. "Thanks for all your help."
"Geehee, don't mention it." Gajeel said with a smirk, before he spotted Levy out of the corner of his eye. "I'll see you later Salamander...I uh...have something I need to do."
"Yeah, yeah, just go talk to her already." Natsu said, waving Gajeel away. "Just try not to act like an idiot."
"Are you okay Natsu?" Lucy asked, as she gently rubbed the pink-haired dragon slayer's lower back.
"Does anything still hurt?" Erza added, rubbing Natsu's upper back, her hand just above Lucy's.
"Not really...I mean my whole body still aches a little...but other than that I'm okay." Natsu replied, as he smiled brightly at both his mates. "I should still be able to perform in the Fantasia Parade."
"Now Natsu, please don't go pushing yourself." Mirajane scolded lightly, sitting on the other side of the table. "You were injured pretty bad when you fought against Laxus, and I don't want you putting any unneeded stress on your wounds."
"Don't worry Mira, I'll take it easy." Natsu reassured, as he perked up in his seat, now sitting up straight. "But there's no way I can miss out participating in the parade, especially since everyone else is going to be chipping in."
"Mira, I really must thank you for taking care of Natsu these past few days." Erza said, resting her hand on top of Mirajane's and giving it a light squeeze. "You know I can be a real klutz some times, and medicine definitely isn't my area of expertise. I'm afraid I might have hurt Natsu instead of healing him."
"Yeah, thanks for that Mira-san." Lucy said, as she chuckled lightly and rubbed the back of her neck. "I'm no good with medicine either. I mean I even have a hard time putting on a band-aid sometimes."
"You can drop the 'san' Lucy, no need to be so formal with me anymore." Mirajane said with a bright smile, before waving her hand dismissively. "And there's no need to thank me. Natsu is a very special person to me, and I was happy to help him out. Especially after he went through all that work to beat that bastard Laxus."
"Yeah, screw that guy." Lucy huffed angrily, as she crossed her arms underneath her impressive bust. "Who the hell does he think he is, pulling a stunt like that? He could have seriously killed someone during that stupid game."
"I agree that what Laxus did was inexcusable and that he should be punished...but that's all in the past now..." Erza said, releasing Mirajane's hand so that she could ruffle Natsu's hair, much to his annoyance. "Thanks to all our efforts, our troubles within the guild are over for the moment."
As soon as these words left Erza's mouth, the guild's front doors opened once again. All sound within the guild silenced, and everyone stared in wide-eyed shock, as Laxus slowly entered the guild. Compared Natsu, Laxus definitely looked far worse off. His entire torso was completely covered in gauze, with some around his forehead and arms as well. Laxus also had several bandages covering wounds on his face. Lastly, no one aside from Natsu seemed to notice that Laxus' clenched fist appeared to be twitching ever so slightly, likely an after affect from being assaulted by so much powerful electricity. Laxus hadn't taken ten steps into the guild hall, before he was stopped by a group of Fairy Tail mages; all of them hassling and yelling at him. Having a general idea of why Laxus was even at the guild, Natsu released light sigh and started to get out of his seat.
"Natsu?" Lucy asked, as she quirked an eyebrow in confusion. "Where are you going?"
"I'll be right back Luce." Natsu said, making his way towards the crowd that was surrounding Laxus. Lucy tried to follow after Natsu, but she was stopped when Mirajane and Erza grabbed her wrist and arm. Looking back, Lucy saw that both of them were shaking their heads. Lucy got the message and sat back in her seat. Natsu was now at the edge of the small crowd, and began to force his way to center. After a few moments, Natsu in the front of the crowd, now face-to-face with Laxus. Both Natsu and Laxus locked eyes instantly, neither of them daring to break eye contact. A hush fell over the crowd, as they awaited to see if another fight would break out. But to everyone's surprise Natsu suddenly stepped aside, gesturing towards a door near the back of the guild. "Jii-chan is in the medical office back there...I suggest you go see him."
Laxus simply stared at Natsu for several moments, before making his way towards the door Natsu had pointed to. However, before Laxus walked passed Natsu, he briefly patted the pink-haired dragon slayer's shoulder. "Thanks Natsu..." With those final words, Laxus made his way through the crowd of people and entered the medical office.
"Are you sure that was good idea, letting Laxus through like that?" Gray asked, as he stood next to Natsu, hands shoved in his pockets. "I mean he did just try to take control of Fairy Tail by force."
"It'll be fine." Natsu said, staring at the door to medical office. "This is something that needed to be done."
(With Fairy Tail's Medical Office)
Closing the door behind him, Laxus immediately spotted his grandfather lying on a bed on the other side of the room. Makarov seemed to notice Laxus enter the room, but continued to stare up at ceiling. Not feeling particularly comfortable getting any closer, Laxus decided to lean against the wall right next to the door, crossing his arms over his chest. Neither man said anything for several tense moments, both avoiding the other's gaze. After almost five minutes of awkward silence, Laxus tightly balled his fists and finally spoke up.
"Those guys out there sure are noisy..." Laxus said, as he continued to stare at the wall next to him. "I wish they'd at least try to keep it down sometimes..." Once again silence fell upon the room, as Makarov refused to respond to Laxus' comment. But after another minute Makarov released a heavy sigh and finally sat up in his bed.
"Laxus...do you understand the severity of what you've done?" Makarov asked, turning to look his grandson in the eyes. However, Makarov was irritated when Laxus continued to avoid his gaze. "Look me in the eyes, boy. It's the least you can do after what you've done." Laxus seemed to ignore Makarov for several moments, but eventually he did turn to face him. "Listen here Laxus, because I won't repeat myself. Do you understand what a guild really is? It's a gathering place for nakama. It's a place to get together and go on missions. And to some kids who don't have anywhere else to go, it's their home...a place where they belong. It doesn't belong to you...or anyone else for that matter. This guild was founded upon the trust and honor of each individual member...and that is how we've formed stronger and firmer bonds than anyone else you'll ever meet. With this stunt you just pulled, you have violated that honor and put your nakama's lives in danger. I'm sorry, but this is not a crime I can forgive."
"I understand...and I'll accept any punishment you deem fitting." Laxus said, as he tightly clenched his fists. Releasing a light sigh, Laxus stared down at his balled fist. "I just...I just wanted to make this guild stronger..."
"Honestly...you're such a strange man...I don't know where you get it from..." Makarov said, grunting softly as he hopped off his bed. Clasping his hands behind his back, Makarov walked over to Laxus. "You need to remember to let some of that pressure off your shoulders from time to time. If you do, you might just start to see things you've been missing this whole time, or hearing words you've never bothered to listen to." A soft smile suddenly spread across Makarov's face. "Life is something you're supposed to enjoy, remember that." Laxus didn't say anything, but Makarov could tell that he understood what he was being told. "You know...watching over you as you grew up...was my entire reason for living. I didn't need you to be strong, or smart...all I wanted in life was for you to be happy. That was my only desire." Suddenly Laxus inhaled deeply through his nose, attempting to stop tears from forming in his eyes. "Laxus..." Makarov tightly balled his fists, doing everything he could to prepare himself for what he was about to say. With a strong swipe of his arm, Makarov gestured towards the door. "You are hereby excommunicated from this guild."
Laxus' eyes widened in shock, and he simply stood in place for several moments, his entire body shaking slightly. But once the situation started to really sink in, Laxus realized that there was no other option for him after what he had done. Releasing a shaky breath, Laxus finally spoke up. "Sure...that makes sense...you made the right decision..." Quickly turning around, Laxus began to exit the room. As Laxus walked away, Makarov turned his back to him. "Thanks for everything...I really mean it." With a small smile, Laxus opened the door to the medical office. "Gramps...take care of yourself" With those last words, Laxus walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
"Just go..." Makarov said, keeping his back turned to Laxus. However, Makarov kept his back to Laxus not because he was upset, but because he didn't want him to see the tears streaming down his face. Once Makarov heard the door close behind him, he couldn't hold back any longer. Sniffling loudly, Makarov buried his face into his arm, as he continued to weep. "You damn brat...why did you have to go an do something so stupid?"
(Several Hours Later: Outskirts of Magnolia)
"This has to be some kind of joke right!?" Evergreen exclaimed, as she stared at Laxus in shock, the rest of the Raijinshū equally as surprised by the sudden news from their leader. "So he's excommunicating you just like that?!"
"That ain't fair man!" Bickslow added in, crossing his arms over his chest. "We all committed the same crime! Why are you the only one being tossed out?!"
"It's the old man's decision." Laxus said, as he slowly shook his head. "There's room for argument."
"Well if that's the case I'll leave the guild with you!" Evergreen blurted out without thinking, gesturing to Laxus' bags, which were on the ground next to him. "Just give me a few minutes to pack!"
"Yeah...if you ain't gonna be around..." Bickslow said, as he nodded his head in agreement. "There really isn't any point in staying here."
"Jeez, don't be such idiots." Laxus said with a small smile, releasing a light chuckle. "Can't you all just say goodbye?"
"Why...Why are you trying to shoulder all the blame?" Freed asked, as he stared down at the ground. "You shouldn't have to do that."
"That's not what I'm doing." Laxus replied, picking up his bags and slinging them over his shoulder. "Unlike you three, I've got no real reason to stick around here, that's all there is to it."
"We'll go and speak to master ourselves!" Evergreen exclaimed, as she desperately tried to stop Laxus from leaving.
"I'm sure Gray will speak up for you, hell Natsu might even too!" Bickslow said, gritting his teeth in frustration. "They may act all tough, but when it comes down to it..."
"Take care of yourselves." Laxus said, as walked away, waving to the Raijinshū without turning back. "It's been fun."
"Don't fuck with us!" Bickslow yelled, tightly balling his fists. "What about the Raijinshū."
"Stop." Freed said, as he held out his arm to stop Evergreen and Bickslow from following after Laxus. "He's made up his mind already, nothing we say will change it." Both Evergreen and Bickslow were confused when a small smile spread across Freed's face. "Besides...we'll see him again...I'm sure of it."
(Five Minutes Later: Fantasia Parade)
"Might as well see it one last time before I go." Laxus muttered to himself, with colorful fireworks exploding in the air above and hundreds of people cheering all around him. Because of his height, Laxus was able to stand near the back of the crowd and still see the parade clearly. The air was filled with the sounds of joy and music, as Laxus watched dozens of elaborately designed floats packed full of Fairy Tail's members, all of them smiling brightly and waving to Magnolia's citizens. "Even after everything they just went through and the injuries they sustained...they all can still smile like that and put on such a performance..." Laxus tightly balled his fists, as an immense wave of guilt washed over him. "I was fool to think they were weak." As Laxus continued to watch the parade intently, he started to notice numerous catcalls coming from the crowd. Turning his head towards the commotion, Laxus wasn't surprised when he saw that most of the girls that had participated in the Miss Fairy Tail Contest were dancing on a float; all of them dressed in rather skimpy outfits. Further down the line of floats, Laxus spotted one being pulled by Elfman, who was in his Beast Soul takeover. The next float actually caught Laxus' eye. Standing in front of an elaborate and beautiful ice castle was Gray and Juvia, both of them dressed in elegant, formal attire. Gray had obviously crafted the impressive ice castle himself, but Juvia added to the performance by creating fountains of water all around the float. Directly after Gray and Juvia's float was the one that held Erza Scarlet, Fairy Tail's Titania. Equipped in her Heaven's Wheel armor, Erza put on a performance with her swords, seeming to performing a graceful dance with them. This display earned Erza just as much attention as the Miss Fairy Tail girls, many man in the crowd declaring their love for the scarlet-haired knight.
However, the performance that surprised Laxus the most was the one following right after Erza's. Standing between four cauldrons, two of them spewing out bolts of lightning and the remaining two belching flames, was Natsu Dragneel. The pink-haired dragon slayer looked as energetic and lively as ever, despite a slight limp in his step and his body being covered in copious amounts of gauze and bandages. Laxus couldn't help feeling a wave of shame wash over him, as he watched Natsu try his best to spell out 'Fairy Tail' in the air using his lightning and flames, but needing to stop several times to rest and catch his breath. Several people in the crowd seemed to worry about Natsu's health, urging him to not push himself. But Natsu, being the stubborn person he was, merely grinned through the exhaustion and tried to reassure everyone that he was fine. However, after a few wobbling steps, it appeared as if Natsu was about to collapse. Laxus was prepared to push through the crowd and help the dual dragon slayer, but he stopped when he spotted someone appear behind Natsu.
"Come on Salamander, I'll help you finish your show." Gajeel said, as he wrapped one of Natsu's arms around his neck, helping support the pink-haired dragon slayer. The crowd's cheers only seemed to grow louder and more passionate, as they witnessed one guild member helping another. "Now come on, we still have a ways to go. So don't disappoint these people, give them a show they'll never forget."
"Gajeel...you didn't have to do this...I could have-"
"I don't want to hear it Salamander, I'm helping you whether you like it or not. You've helped me more than you can imagine these passed few weeks, and you've always had my back ever since I joined this guild. So it's time I start paying you back." Gajeel said, flashing Natsu a fang-filled smirk. "Geehee, besides you said that us dragon slayers need to stick together."
"Heh, I guess you're right!" Natsu cheered, before he spewed out a stream of orange flames into the air, forming a large Fairy Tail symbol in the sky. "Let's put on a show for the ages, and thank Magnolia for always supporting our guild!"
"How was I ever supposed to beat someone like him?" Laxus thought, watching Natsu fire up the crowd with his performance, causing them to start chanting his name. "The guy can barely walk on his own, yet he's out here putting on a damn show for all these people...I never stood a damn chance...I feel like such a fucking idiot. Natsu was right...I don't deserve to be a member of Fairy Tail after what I did." Adjusting the straps of his pack, Laxus turned his back to the parade and started to walk away. However, Laxus stopped his tracks when he heard several people within the crowd yell out.
"Look! It's the master!"
"The master is here!"
"I guess I can stay just a little longer...I at least owe gramps that much..." Laxus thought, as he released a light sigh, turning back to face the parade. When Laxus spotted his grandfather standing atop the passing float, a soft smile spread across his face. The aging master of Fairy Tail was dressed in an odd cat-like outfit, laughing and dancing all around the float, which caused the people in the crowd to laugh along with him. As Laxus watched his grandpa practically make a fool of himself, he couldn't help but remember the first time he had participated in the Fantasia Parade himself, and how Makarov had forgone his performance in the parade to watch his grandson's. Laxus' smile widened when he remembered the symbol he promised to make in the middle of his performance, a symbol that meant 'even if we can't see each other, I'm still watching you.' With a soft chuckle Laxus once again turned to leave, but some strange force seemed to be telling to take one last look back. Unable to resist the urge, Laxus turned back to see the parade, and what he saw caused his eyes to widen. Makarov had stopped his dance, standing atop the highest point on his float, proudly holding up the same symbol Laxus had displayed during his first Fantasia performance. Laxus watch in stunned silence as one-by-one, all the members of Fairy Tail held up the same symbol. Even Natsu, who Laxus thought would despise him, was displaying the symbol high into the air despite his exhaustion. At that moment, Natsu and Laxus looked eyes from across the crowd. Much like what happened after Natsu and Gajeel fought, an odd sense of respect seemed to have formed between Laxus and the pink-haired dragon slayer. There was still a lot of rocky ground between them, but at least they weren't enemies anymore. A toothy grin spread across Natsu's face, as he nodded his head.
"Gramps...everyone..." Laxus chocked out, with tears streaming down his cheeks. Holding back a sob, Laxus quickly wiped the tears from his eyes and turned back around. As Laxus began to walk away, he could hear Makarov's voice echoing in his mind.
"Even if I can't see you...no matter how far away you may be...I will always be watching you...always watching over you."
"Yeah...I know." Laxus muttered to himself, a small smile on his face as he walked off into dark outskirts of Magnolia.
(Later that Night: Hidden Location Outside Magnolia)
"Ah, ravens! Why are you always so beautiful?" Ivan asked, as he petted the pitch-black bird. "Oh? You think it's because people hate you?" A sadistic smirk spread across Ivan's face, as he picked up one of the birds. "There we go!" The raven suddenly began to squawk and thrash in pain, before its body suddenly transformed into paper. "True beauty lies in fleeting lives, bwahahahahaha! Don't you agree Gajeel-san!?"
"You never said anything about Laxus being a dragon slayer." Gajeel said, his blood-red eyes glaring at Ivan. Sure, the iron dragon already knew about Laxus being a dragon slayer because of Natsu, but he needed to press him for more information. "You could have at least mentioned it."
"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ivan suddenly burst out laughing, as he turned to face Gajeel. "He's what you'd call a 'fake.' A pathetic little fake."
"A fake?" Gajeel repeated, feigning his confusion. "What do you mean?"
"You see, when that kid was little, he was such a weakling. So, out of pity I had a lacrima implanted within his body." Ivan explained, as he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
"A lacrima that can allow the use of dragon slayer magic!?" Gajeel exclaimed, pretending to be shocked by this revelation. "How is that possible?!"
"I know! They're exceptionally rare!" Ivan said with a hearty chuckle. "Now that Laxus has been excommunicated, he'll likely come to me, which is perfect. Quite recently I discovered that I can get a large sum of money for that lacrima." A sinister smile began spread across Ivan's face. "An incredible amount of money."
"But if you extract the lacrima-"
"BWAHAHAHAHA! He was never worthy of that lacrima in the first place! I'll just be putting my kid back in his place!" Ivan laughed boisterously, causing Gajeel to tightly ball his fists in frustration. "It's the money that matters, the delicious money. I need enough cash to fund my war against Fairy Tail." Gajeel didn't even flinch when Ivan suddenly got in his face. "You just stay where you are as my inside man, got it? And even if you get exposed as a spy, never reveal information about this place."
"I'm not that stupid." Gajeel said with a smirk, as he crossed his arms over his chest. "But you're pretty fucking dumb, leaking all this valuable information. I need to get this back to Master fast."
(One Hour Later: Fairy Tail Guild Hall)
The main portion of the Fantasia Parade was now over, and the mages of Fairy Tail were partying. Drinks were flowing freely, as the entire guild rumbled with laughter and boisterous conversation. Mirajane buzzed from table-to-table, serving drinks as fast she could, a bright smile on her face. Guild members clanged their overflowing mugs together to celebrate another successful Harvest Festival, despite the tough battle they had all fought against Laxus and his crew. As the party raged on, Gajeel watched on from the second floor, feeling as if his presence might sour the mood. The iron dragon slayer knew that several people in the guild had already accepted him, but there was many who were still wary of him, and he still needed to prove himself to them. A small smile spread across Gajeel's face, as he watched Natsu wrap his arms around Lucy and Erza's waists, pulling his mates closer to him. Soon Gajeel's eyes drifted to the other side of the guild, focusing on a certain petite, blue-haired bookworm. A slight blush spread across Gajeel's face, as he ogled the revealing outfit Levy was wearing.
"You should go talk to her." Gajeel visibly jumped when someone suddenly spoke up from behind him. Whipping around, Gajeel was relieved to see that it was only Makarov. "Levy is a nice girl, I'm sure she's not mad at you anymore. All you need to do is talk to her."
"I...I don't know what-"
"I'm not a fool boy." Makarov said with a smile, as he walked up to Gajeel and hopped up onto the railing he was leaning against. "I've seen the way you stare at her, you don't really try to hide it. It's obvious you want to spend time with her, but you keep holding yourself back. Why don't you make a move my boy?"
"I...I just can't yet..." Gajeel said, tightly balling his fists. "I can tell...she's still scared of me...after what I did to her, I can't blame her...I just...I just have to be patient and give her time...I don't force my feelings onto her when she's not ready."
"Hmmm, you're smarter than you look." Makarov hummed, as he stroked his chin. "I understand your reasons Gajeel, but try not to wait too long. A fine girl like her, it won't be long before another man snatches her up."
"I'll kill anyone that tries." Gajeel growled, his eyes narrowing dangerously. "Levy is my girl."
"HAHAHA! You and Natsu really can be like dragons sometimes!" Makarov laughed, as he stripped out of his cat outfit. "Oh Gajeel, before I forget. Thank you for helping Natsu finish his performance. That boy's heart is in the right place, but he's just too damn stubborn sometimes."
"No need to thank me Master." Gajeel said, waving dismissively. "Salamander has done so much for me ever since I joined Fairy Tail...supporting his dumb ass is the least I can do to pay him back." Suddenly Gajeel's eyes widened, as he remembered what he had to give Makarov. "Actually master..." Reaching into his pocket, Gajeel handed Makarov a small slip of paper. "I've uncovered your son Ivan's current location..."
"Good work." Makarov said, as he stared down at the piece of paper. "And I'm sorry for giving you such a dangerous task."
"Well he hasn't worked out that I'm a double agent yet, so don't worry about it." Gajeel said, as he began to walk away. "Also you should know that Ivan is after the lacrima in Laxus' body."
"Since I have his location now, I'll handle it." Makarov said, crumpling the piece of paper in his hand. "I won't let him have his way."
(Two Hours Later)
It was late into the night now and most of the guild had gone home to rest. The only people who remained were Max, Mirajane, and few other helpers who were busy cleaning up the guild hall. Mirajane was currently behind the bar, cleaning all the empty beer mugs. As Mirajane ducked underneath the bar to put the empty mugs away, she heard someone take at the counter. Releasing a light sigh, Mirajane closed her eyes and slung her rag over her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, but we've stopped serving drinks." Mirajane said in a slightly annoyed tone, as she turned back to the newcomer. "If you're that desperate you can go to one of the other bars in town."
"Aw, you can't even serve one drink to a friend?" A familiar voice asked in a teasing tone. Mirajane immediately perked up, recognizing who was sitting at the bar behind her. Quickly spinning around, a bright smile spread across Mirajane's face when she saw Natsu grinning back at her. "Come on Mira, I'm dying for a fire whiskey."
"Something tells me you aren't really here for a drink." Mirajane said with a smirk, as she poured a shot glass full of whiskey, lighting the top of the alcohol aflame. "Here you go Natsu, just the way you like it."
"Cheers." Natsu said, raising his flaming shot into the air, before he downed it in a single gulp. "HAH! Damn that really hit the spot!"
"So Natsu..." Mirajane said in a sultry tone, as she leaned over the counter, giving the pink-haired dragon slayer a generous few of her cleavage. "Why are you really here so late? Did you come here to see little ol' me?"
"Actually..." Natsu said, staring down into his shot glass, as his face turned slightly pink. "I did."
"W-What?" Mirajane stuttered out, as her face blushed beet red. The white-haired barmaid had just been teasing Natsu, she didn't really expect him to come to the guild so late at night just to visit her. "U-Um...w-what did you want?"
"Well...you've been taking care of me the past two days...and despite that we never really had a chance to talk." Natsu replied, locking eyes with the white-haired barmaid. "I felt it Mira...I know you've reawakened your magic...and I just wanted to see how you were doing."
"I-I'm fine..." Mirajane said, as she turned her head to avoid Natsu's gaze, nervously rubbing her arm. "I didn't really have any other option...I needed to save Elfman."
"Mira...are you still afraid of your magic?" Natsu asked, causing the white-haired barmaid to gasp in surprise. "Please Mira, talk to me."
"I...I don't know..." Mirajane replied, as she stared down at the floor. "I know now that I can't always just sit idly by anymore...sometimes I'll have to fight and use my powers to protect the things that I love, but..." Natsu was caught off guard when he heard Mirajane choke back a sob, as she began to hug herself. "But sometimes...I feel like I'm about to lose control...like the demons inside me will take over...and I'm terrified of that...I don't want to end up hurting someone close to me..." By now tears were streaming down Mirajane's cheeks.
"Mira..." Natsu breathed out, his heart aching as he watched Mirajane continue to cry. Unable to stand it any longer, Natsu got out of his seat and hopped over the bar, hugging Mirajane's head against his chest.
"I was so scared Natsu..." Mirajane cried, as she turned her head and buried her face into Natsu's chest, letting his comforting warmth ease her heart. "When I fought against Freed...I could feel those evil desires starting to take hold...I ended up almost killing Freed! The only thing that stopped me was the thought of you and everyone else hating me for doing something so awful!"
"Shhhhh..." Natsu said, stroking the top of Mirajane's head in an attempt to comfort her. "Nothing you could do would make me hate you Mirajane...sure, I would have been shocked if you had accidentally killed someone...maybe even disappointed...but I would never hate you for it." Natsu held Mirajane ever closer, pressing her body against his, as he rested head against her's. "And you don't have to be scared of your own power, because you're one of the strongest people I know and I'm sure that you'll be able to keep it under control."
"Really?" Mirajane asked, as she raised her head to look eyes with Natsu. "Do you really think I can do it?"
"Of course." Natsu said with a toothy grin, causing Mirajane's heart to pound in her chest. "And hey, if you ever do somehow lose control, I'll bring you back to your senses...that's a promise."
"Natsu..." Mirajane breathed out, as she felt all the feelings she had been holding back for years come rushing to the surface. The white-haired barmaid was done waiting, she had stood on the sidelines long enough. Now it was her time to show Natsu how strongly she felt about him. With a bright red blush dusting across her pale face, Mirajane lunged forward and captured Natsu's lips in a passionate kiss. Mirajane wrapped her arms around Natsu's neck, pulling him closer to deepen their kiss. Natsu was caught off guard for only the briefest of moments, before he immediately began to return Mirajane's kiss, snaking an around her waist. The white-haired barmaid let out a soft moan when she felt Natsu's tongue tangle with her's, sending pleasurable tingles throughout her whole body. After a few more moments of their intense liplock, Mirajane pulled away to catch her breath, immidiately locking eyes with Natsu. Mirajane panted slightly, as she pressed a hand against Natsu's chest. "That was everything I had hoped for and so much more..."
"Mira..." Natsu said in hushed tone, cupping the white-haired barmaid's cheek. "I've wanted to do that for so long."
"You and me both." Mirajane said with a smile, as she gently grasped Natsu's hand, leaning into his touch. "I've loved you for years, Natsu...you've done so much for me and my family...you were a pillar of support when I was at my lowest...I couldn't help falling for you. But I always had trouble expressing my feelings to you...especially when I knew that other girls shared the same feelings for you."
"That's why you came up with this whole dragon king harem thing?" Natsu asked with a knowing smirk, causing Mirajane's eyes to widen slightly. "Don't worry, Luce told me about it, and I really have to thank you Mira. I never understood my own feelings for so long, why I was so strongly attracted to certain women in my life. But thanks to you, Lucy, and Erza I know why now and I want to make you girls, and all my other mates happy...I want us all to be a family together."
"Oh Natsu...I love you so much." Mirajane said, as she felt tears once again welling up in her eyes. "So please...take me...make me one of your mates. I want to join Lucy and Erza, I want to be apart of your family."
"How could I say no?" Natsu said with a smile, pulling Mirajane close once again and leaning in for kiss.
"W-Wait Natsu!" Mirajane hissed, as she put up her hand to block Natsu. "Shouldn't we go somewhere more private?" The white-haired barmaid was now acutely aware that they were still in the guild hall, and that there was still people in the building with them. "W-What if someone sees us?"
"That just makes it all the more exciting." Natsu whispered hotly into Mirajane's ear, sending chills down her spine. The white-haired barmaid squeaked in surprise when Natsu suddenly gave her ass a quick squeeze. "See, reacting like that is gonna get us caught...you need to stay calm, Mira."
"That's kinda hard to do when you're making me feel so good." Mirajane said with a huff, as her face turned an even darker shade of red. "My body gets so hot every time you touch me."
"Then let's see how well you can keep your composure." Natsu said with a mischievous smirk, stealthily sneaking his had up Mirajane's thigh, up into her dress. The white-haired barmaid was about to question Natsu, but she was stopped when a sudden, rather loud, moan escaped mouth. Instantly, Mirajane slapped a hand over her mouth, her face burning near neon red as she watched a couple people look towards her. Laughing nervously, Mirajane waved to the people who were still cleaning; most them shrugging and returning to their work.
"Natsu! What the hell-" Mirajane suddenly bit her bottom lip to suppress another moan, as a jolt of pleasure rocked her body. Looking down, Mirajane saw that one of Natsu's hands had wormed its way into her panties, his hot fingers teasing her womanhood.
"Act natural." Natsu ordered, acting as if nothing was going on. "Just go back to cleaning up the bar."
Mirajane hesitated for a moment, but she eventually did as she was told, picking up an empty beer mug and drying it off. The white-haired barmaid's entire face was flushed bright red, her blush spreading down to her chest. While Mirajane was beyond embarrassed at what she was doing, she couldn't deny how exciting it was. Her heart was frantically pounding in her chest, her breathing ragged and excited, and the thought of being caught only seemed to heighten the pleasure she was feeling. When Mirajane felt two of Natsu's fingers slip into her folds, she had to suddenly bite her bottom lip to suppress a squeal of pleasure. In-and-out Natsu slowly moved his fingers, nearly causing Mirajane to drop the mug she was trying to dry. The white-haired barmaid let out a low moan of pleasure, when she felt Natsu's thumb begin to stimulate her clitoris. By now Mirajane's breathing was short and ragged, her breasts swelling with every breath.
"Just keep acting calm and composed. I'm gonna make you really feel good now." Natsu whispered, silently ducking down beneath the bar. Mirajane tried to keep a natural smile on her face, as she continued to clean up the bar. However, the white-haired barmaid's eyes widened slightly when she felt something, or rather someone, lift up her dress and hide underneath. Mirajane shuddered when she felt Natsu's hot breath against her bare thighs. Now that Natsu was out of sight within Mirajane's dress, a devious smirk spread across his face when he saw her panties. "Black lace? Oh Mira, you act so innocent sometimes, but you're actually such a naughty girl...and you're so wet already. You really are ready for this, I just have to 'warm you up' a bit more." Before Natsu got to the main event, he decided to tease Mirajane just a bit more. Using a minuscule amount of his lightning magic, Natsu slowly racked his finger tips along Mirajane's legs and ass. A satisfied smile spread across Natsu's face when he heard Mirajane shudder in pleasure, watching as goosebumps formed wherever he touched. Giving Mirajane's incredibly soft behind one more squeeze, Natsu hooked his fingers into her panties and slid them down her pale legs. The pink-haired dragon slayer licked his lips when he saw Mirajane's dripping womanhood before him.
"W-What the hell is he doing now?" Mirajane thought, as she felt her panties be pulled down her legs, dropping down around her ankles. "This is so embarrassing...thank God I have this dreAWW!" Mirajane's thoughts were cut short when an incredible wave of pleasure rocked her body, causing her to let out a throaty moan. Instantly Mirajane slapped a hand over her mouth, her entire face neon red when she saw that once again all remaining eyes in the guild were on her. The white-haired barmaid's entire body was shaking in pleasure, making her hold onto the bar for support. She had pretty good idea what Natsu was doing now, feeling his burning tongue probe her wet folds. The white-haired barmaid had to fight every urge to scream out in ecstasy, feeling wave after wave of pleasure course through her body. When Mirajane felt Natsu reach up and twist her sensitive nub, she had to bite her bottom lip hard and slam her fist onto the bar to fight back a deep moan.
"You okay Mira?" The white-haired barmaid's eyes shot wide open in horror when she saw that Max was standing right in front of her. Max had a confused look on his face, as he leaned against the broom he was using to sweep. "Cause you've been making some weird sounds and your face is all red. You sure you aren't feeling sick or anything?"
"N-N-NO! I'm completely fine!" Mirajane stuttered out through clenched teeth, as she forced a smile onto her face, feeling Natsu's tongue plunge deeper inside her. The white-haired barmaid had to fight every urge to scream out in pleasure, as she felt an intense orgasm rock her entire body, causing her grip on the counter to tighten considerably, causing some of the wood to splinter. "T-There's nothing to worry about!"
"O-Okay..." Max said in a still-confused tone, rubbing the back of his head. "Well we're all done cleaning here, so we're gonna head home. Make sure to lock the place up before you go...and get some rest, it looks like you're burning up."
"W-Will do Max..." Mirajane said, as she watched Max walk away, waving to him. "S-See you tomorrow!" As soon Max closed the doors behind him, finally leaving Mirajane and Natsu alone in the guild hall, the pink-haired dragon slayer re-appeared next to Mirajane with a mischievous smile on his face.
"That sure was exciting, we almost got caught at the end." Natsu said with a smirk, licking Mira's remaining juices from his lips. "You taste great by the way." The white-haired barmaid glared fiercely at Natsu for a few moments, before she pounced forward and captured his lips in a fiery kiss, spinning them around so that's Natsu's back was against the bar.
"That was so hot." Mirajane breathed out between kisses, before she began to nibble on Natsu's ear. "You've got me so worked up right now, It's not fair that I'm only one being pleasured." Reaching down, Mirajane gripped Natsu's erect manhood and began to massage it through his pants. "Get these pants off now, I want to see the fierce dragon that you're packing."
"Yes ma'am!" Natsu exclaimed, practically tearing his pants off and yanking down his boxers. Mirajane's jaw dropped when she saw the impressive rod of flesh standing fully erect mere inches away.
"I know Lucy and Erza said that Natsu was well endowed...but still...I wasn't expecting this." Mirajane thought, as she unconsciously licked her lips, in awe of Natsu's splendid manhood. Reaching down, Mirajane gently took Natsu's shaft in her hand. Instantly she gasped softly, feeling how hot it was and the pleasurable tingles it was sending down her arm. Taking a calming breath, Mirajane slowly began to stroke Natsu's erect shaft. "I've never done anything like before...I wonder if I'm doing things right." Mirajane quickly got her answer when she heard a throaty moan escape Natsu's lips.
"Damn Mira...your hands are so soft." Natsu groaned, his hands tightly gripping the bar, as he fought back his own orgasm. "They're like magic or something."
"I could say the same about you." Mirajane teased, as a playful smirk spread across her face. "Now, I have no experience when it comes to things like this...I only know what I've read and things other people have told me...so you'll just have to bear with me..." Getting down onto her knees, Mirajane winked at Natsu. "Don't worry, I'll get better with lots of practice."
"Mira..." Natsu said, knowing what Mirajane was about to do. "You don't haAAAVE TO!" Halfway thought his sentence, Natsu's voice spiked as he let out a lengthy moan. Immense pleasure spread throughout Natsu's body, feeling Mirajane's hot and wet mouth wrap around his manhood. Slowly, Mirajane began to bob her head up and down, somewhat awkwardly wrapping her tongue around his shaft. "Fuck Mira..." Natsu grunted, his voice now a lustful growl as he ran his hands through her snow-white hair, urging her to take his cock further into her mouth. Whatever Mirajane lacked in experience, she definitely made up for in enthusiasm. She began to slowly take Natsu's manhood deeper, getting a little more than halfway down his rod. "Hands...Mira...use your hands too..." Following Natsu's request, Mirajane used one of her free hands and began to stroke the portion of shaft she couldn't reach with her mouth. Natsu threw his head back and let out a lengthy moan, feeling his orgasm rapidly approaching. "Shit Mira...I'm so close..." Hearing this only seemed to spur Mirajane on, as she immidiately began to speed up her sucking, her tongue rapidly swirling around Natsu's cock. "MIRA!" Growling in pleasure, Natsu grabbed ahold of Mirajane's head to hold in her place, as felt an intense orgasm rock his body. The pink-haired dragon slayer felt his entire body shake, as he shot his seed down Mirajane's throat. When Natsu felt his orgasm subside, he slowly pulled out of Mirajane's mouth. Panting slightly, with sweat forming on his brow, Natsu leaned against the bar. "Holy shit...that was fantastic Mira..."
"Huh...everything I've read says that this stuff tastes gross..." Mirajane said, as she swallowed the last of Natsu's seed, sensually licking her lips. "But I kinda like it...I'll have to try it against soon. But right now..." Natsu watched in awe, as Mirajane slowly slid off her pink dress and unclipped her lacy black bra, leaving her completely naked. "Right now is when the real fun begins."
"Fuck..." Natsu breathed out, ogling Mirajane's beautiful body with wide eyes. Her breasts were extremely large, like most of the women in Fairy Tail, and showed no signs of sagging whatsoever. With every breath Mirajane took, her bosom would expand out, making her already impressive bust appear even larger. Every movement Mirajane made would cause her glorious mounds of flesh to jiggle and bounce ever so slightly. Natsu threw off his vest and embraced Mirajane, pressing their naked bodies together. "You're so beautiful Mira."
"You're not too bad yourself..." Mirajane said, as she bit her bottom lip, slowly tracing the muscles on Natsu's chest; being careful of the bandages that still covered his body. "I can't wait any longer Natsu...I love you so much...so please, make me one of your mates."
"Of course Mira...I love you too." Natsu said, giving Mirajane a brief, yet loving, kiss on the lips. "Now put your hands on the bar and stick your ass out."
"Okay." Mirajane said, as brushed passed Natsu and placed her hands against the bar, sticking her round butt out. "Like this?"
"Perfect." Natsu growled in a lustful tone, running his palm along Mirajane's soft ass. "I'm gonna put it in now Mira, let me know if it hurts." Lining himself up with Mirajane's dripping womanhood, Natsu slowly began to push his shaft inside her. Both mages hissed, as Natsu began to inch his way deeper inside Mirajane. The white-haired barmaid couldn't describe the sensation she was feeling. It was an odd mixture of a dull ache and incredible pleasure, as a wave of hot, tingling ecstasy washed over her. After a few moments Natsu was fully inside Mirajane, and he stopped to give her body a few moments to adjust to his size. However, the dull ache Mirajane was feeling rapidly faded away, leaving her with a feeling of immense pleasure and completeness she had never felt before.
"You can start moving now Natsu." Mirajane breathed out, as she rolled her hips, causing both mages to moan in pleasure. "And don't worry about being too gentle, I'm a tough girl."
"Oh, you're gonna regret saying that." Natsu whispered into Mirajane's ear with a devious smirk on his face. Pulling almost entirely out of Mirajane's womanhood, Natsu roughly slammed back into her, causing a loud slapping sound to echo throughout the guild hall. Mirajane released a series of lengthy moans, as Natsu began to rapidly pound into her, the sounds of their intense lovemaking reverberating off the walls. Grabbing a handful of Mirajane's snow-white hair, Natsu pulled her head back, causing her to scream out in a mixture of pain and pleasure.
"Fuck Natsu! This amazing!" Mirajane exclaimed in pleasure, as she began to meet Natsu's thrusts with her own. "Fuck me harder! Faster!"
Not one to disappoint, Natsu increased the speed and power behind his thrusts, pushing even deeper inside Mirajane. The sound of flesh slapping against flesh, and the moans of both mages, were the only sounds within the empty guild hall. Releasing his grip on Mirajane's hair, Natsu reached forward and grabbed ahold of Mirajane's incredibly soft breasts. The pink-haired dragon slayer hugged Mirajane against his chest, as he began to mold and knead her impressive tits. The white-haired barmaid screamed out in ecstasy when Natsu pinched her erect nipples. Turning her head, Mirajane captured Natsu's lips in a lust-filled kiss, her body shaking as she experienced her second orgasm. Feeling Mirajane's orgasm only spurred Natsu on, as she continued to relentlessly pound into her.
"Up on the bar, now." Natsu ordered, suddenly pulling out of Mirajane, much to her disappoint. But Mirajane did as she was told, sitting on top of the counter and spreading her legs. Moving between Mirajane's thighs, Natsu once again lined himself up with her womanhood and thrust inside. The white-haired barmaid wrapped her arms around Natsu's neck and buried her face into the crook of his neck, as he began to rapidly piston into her. Natsu embraced Mirajane tightly, squashing her breasts against his chest as he continued to make love to her. After a few more minutes of intense thrusting, Natsu could feel his own orgasm rapidly approaching. "Mira...I'm really close..."
"I want it inside me." Mirajane said with a smile, as she wrapped her legs around Natsu's waist, locking him in place. "I want you to give me everything you've got...make me one your mates."
"Mira..." Natsu breathed out, before he resumed thrusting into her womanhood with renewed vigor. After only a few more thrusts, Natsu felt his orgasm arrive. "MIRA!"
"Now is your chance!"
"She has all but begged you!"
"Take her as your mate now!"
As Natsu began to shot his seed inside Mirajane, he sank his fangs into her neck and began to pump his magic into her body. Mirajane screamed out Natsu's name in euphoria, as an incredible mix of pain and pleasure sent her over the edge into another orgasm. Both mages tightly embraced each other as they experienced their orgasmic high, both their bodies twitching slightly. Once the incredible sensations had subsided, Natsu slowly pulled out of Mirajane, some of their mixed love juices dripping onto the bar's floor.
"Natsu...that was simply amazing..." Mirajane panted out, as she laid down on the bar's counter. "It was everything I could have hoped for."
"It was fantastic for me too." Natsu said with a grin, grasping Mirajane's hand and placing a kiss on her forehead. "Welcome to the family, Mira."
"Oh Natsu, I'm so happy right now, you have no idea." Mirajane said, as a faint blush spread across her face. "I've dreamed of being your lover for years...now I've finally become one with you...and I get to share you with some of my best friends...to truly be like a family and care for each other."
"I'm happy too, Mira...I love all you girls...I'll do anything to make sure your all always smiling." Natsu said, laying down on the bar next to Mirajane. "That's a promise."
"And you never break your promises." Mirajane said with a light chuckle, as she lazily ran her hand across Natsu's chest. As Mirajane laid next to Natsu, her eyes eventually began to drift down his body, landing on his semi-erect manhood. Seeing the impressive pillar of flesh reignited Mirajane's lust. "You know, the night is still young and I could go for a couple more rounds...if you're up to it of course."
"Is that a challenge Mirajane Strauss? Because I assure you, that you will lose." Natsu teased with a mischievous smirk on his face. "Just ask Luce and Erza, neither of them could keep up with me."
"We'll just have to see about that." Mirajane said with a smirk of her own, as she hopped off the bar and gathered her clothes. "Now come on, let's head back to your place and keep this party going."
"Sounds like a plan to me." Natsu said with a grin, following Mirajane out of the guild, giving her ass a quick spank on the way out. Neither of them noticing the few streaks of pink hair that had started to infiltrate the back of Mirajane's head.
(The Following Morning: Natsu's House)
"Oi Salamander, you up?" Gajeel asked, as he knocked on Natsu's front door. "I left my wallet over here when I was helping Mirajane take care of you." However, after several moments Gajeel received no reply and he heard no movement without the house. "Huh, Salamander must be out doing some early morning training or something." Twisting the doorknob, Gajeel was surprised when the door opened. "That idiot left his front door open...well I guess I'll just run in real quick and grab it." Walking into Natsu's home, Gajeel was immediately hit by a strange, musky scent that seemed to fill the entire house. "Jesus...what the fuck is that smell...it's so fucking intense...but it's weird...it almost smells familiar..." Making his way through the now clean house, thanks to Mirajane, Gajeel eventually made it to Natsu's room. Gajeel cracked the door open and peeked inside, and instantly regretted that decision. Curled up together on the hammock was Natsu and Mirajane, a blanket loosely covering their naked bodies. The iron dragon slayer stared at this scene in disgust for several moments, before he closed the door. "Holy shit...I seriously didn't need to see that...I think I may be scared for life now..." Without a second thought Gajeel walked out of Natsu's house, completely forgetting about his missing wallet. "Now I know why I recognized that smell...it's the same one that always clings to bunny girl and that knight...fuck me, I think I'm gonna be sick."
And done! A nice little bit of comedic relief at the end there after a nice, steamy lemon. This chapter marks the end of the Battle for Fairy Tail arc, and Mirajane officially going Natsu's harem! The next chapter will have the mini-arc with Lucy and her father, but after that we'll be getting into the Oración Seis arc and Wendy's re-introduction into this story, which I know all of you are looking forward to! But unfortunately the next chapter won't be out for a while, because I have to work on my Akame ga Kill fic next, and my Pokemon fic after that. So just be patient and the next chapter will be out eventually. With winter break coming up, hopefully I can crank out chapters a little faster, but no guarantees.
