He walked the grounds of the spiritworld checking things out; afterall it was his job. He and Capricorn had a very long talk that when Lucy was returned to the human world. They had come to an agreement that even though she no longer had control over him, he still didn't have a place to call his home except fairytail. He agreed to be in charge of the celestial world while she was not there until he found a way to crossover to the human world permanently. so how was he still strong? oh mavis ! she must have wanted him around for something. After getting Lucy back, he knew then what that reason was; to make it back to her and repay the kindness she had shown him.
Seeing that she had no intruders, he made his way back into his house. The woman all bowed acknowledging him. He paid them no mind; he was the master of the house tonight. Capricorn was out doing mavis knew what for the week and he was left in charge. He was pulled from his musings when , the foreman bowed to him addressing and waited for acknowledgment. "Yes?"
He stood to his full height. "Master Loke. There have been rumors of humans trying to enter spirit world through the carnival."
Maintaining his cold demeanor he countered. "That is not my problem. If they eat the food.
He sighed. "But sir. This particular human isn't like the rest of them. Most of the humans just turn and walk away; they are deterred by the magic here. This one actually tries to cross over everyday…"
Loke balked. "Why would anyone want to come into the spirit world willingly?"
He paused. "I do not know Master Loke."
The river spirit sighed. "Fine I'll go take a look. Do we have any high profile guests today?"
The foreman shook his head. "No sir, not on the schedule."
Loke turned from him making his way to the entrance of the bathhouse. "You are in charge for the night. I will be back before sunrise. Do not disappoint me."
He bowed. "Yes Master Loke."
Loke flew across the river in his true form landing on the other side. Transforming back he looked around. Gone was the lanky twelve year old boy. He was now the embodiment of a twenty-four year old man. His shoulders were broad, his abs tight and his muscles bunched as he moved. His orange hair was down his nape and his eyes still glowed an eerie green. He had noticed after she had left that he was slowly aging. He had grown in the year after she left and his muscles were getting larger. He was no longer immortal. He didn't belong in the spirit world any longer, but he didn't know how to remain in the human world without a body for his soul to cling to it. He sighed.
Walking up to the entrance of the carnival he was instantly reminded of when he told Lucy to leave and never look back. He felt his chest tighten as he remembered her almost turning around to look back but didn't. She had learned a lot in the short amount of time she was here in the spirit world. He was so proud of her.
Walking through the tunnel he felt the magic that still lingered but not enough to give anyone passage to their world. It still wonders him; why would someone willingly want to come to their world? He passed through the end of the tunnel and he felt lighter. The magic that surrounded the spirit world was lifted. He walked down the road and found little houses made out of stone at the foot of a tree. Crouching down seeing someone had left an offering. Smiling he looked around again. Nothing out of the ordinary. Taking a deep breath he smelled the earth as well as all of the humans that were here. But one smell had him second guessing himself. Where had he smelled it before? Looking down at the offering again, it clicked. Lucy had placed the offering. Her scent had changed. It was human, but not. It was cleaner. An aftereffect of her visit to his world maybe? Taking another deep breath he followed it to a house above him on the ledge. Transforming he flew to the house and landed in a nearby tree.
Seeing a guild ,sitting down at the table laughing and eating he was used to . Those were her parents but where was she? Looking up into one of the rooms he finally saw her. His heart learched when he saw her. She was beautiful. Her hair was still long and she had filled out nicely. She had grown a bit taller too. He scoffed; of course she would have. But there was something wrong with the way she carried herself. She seemed disheartened; a shell of her former self. That made him frown; though it didn't look like that in his Lion form. Growling to himself knowing he had finally found her and he was unable to stay, he slowly flew up and regrettably made his way back to the bathhouse. He now knew what he had to do. He had to find a way to stay in the human world physically so that he could continue to honor his promise he made to King all those years ago. He smirked. Maybe he should visit the old witch and see if she had any information on how to crossover…
Lucy woke the next morning sore from all the stress and tension from the sadness the night before. And like every night she had dreams of him; them sitting by the river, walking in the park, mating…. She groaned as she made herself get up. Walking to the bathroom she got herself ready for the day. Downstairs she saw mira preparing breakfast and talking about what their day was going to bring. Not feeling it she grabbed a piece of toast and headed to the door.
"Lucy? Aren't you going to get more than that?" Alzack asked her.
Lucy smiled but bowed to her elders. "No sir… I'm still not feeling well. I'm going to take a walk. I hope you all have a nice day." Turning from her them as she left.
The rest of them shrugged their shoulders to gossip but continued eating.
Lucy walked down to the carnival again. She was unsure of what compelled her to do so. Had something changed in the span of one night? She balked at herself; of course it could have…. Following the well-known trail again she felt something…different? Coming to a stop in front of the houses at the tree, she saw her offering gone, like they always were. The spirits were grateful, she was sure of it. Continuing to follow the path she felt the wind pick up and heard the old building moan. She knew she should be afraid; but she was the opposite. She was elated. Running through the tunnel in disbelief, had she finally crossed over? She felt the magic that had not been there the night before; she felt a static type energy come over her and she inhaled deeply. Opening her eyes, she found herself on the other side of the tunnel…
Loke was back from King with a probable solution to his problem when he felt something shift within him. Much like when… He altered his course and flew to the carnival. It took him a matter of minutes to get there, landing he assessed the building. Yes something, or someone had crossed over. But where were they? Checking the food stands finding nothing he continued to the bath house. That's when he saw her. She was there in the spirit world, and he had to fight with himself not to run over to her.
Lucy went straight to the room but coming to the bridge she felt apprehension. What would happen when she went in? Would she be made to sign another contract from Capricorn? Would they welcome her with open arms? Would Loke be there? She sighed and stiffened; someone was behind her. Slowly turning she saw a man standing there. The man in front of her was vaguely familiar but not. He was at least six foot and muscular. He wore the same clothes as a worker of the bathhouse and his eyes were almost haunting similar too… She blinked once, twice and gasped. Turning fully to the man, she began walking to him in disbelief. "Is that really you?"
Loke smiled, his green eyes glittering. "Yes Lucy. It is me…"
She smiled and couldn't contain her excitement anymore. Running to him, seeing his arms extend out in a welcome she jumped into his arms.
Completing the embrace he laughed as he spun her around with the extra momentum that she created. Finally letting her down, he saw tears lining her big brown eyes. It caught him off guard. Bringing his hands up to wipe her tears.
She laughed and gave him another hug turning her head to whisper into his neck. " I've missed you so much Loke. It's been long time
He pulled her closer to his body, bringing his face to the crook of her neck he inhaled her scent. So different but very much the same as the last time she was with him. "I have missed you too"
They held each other for a few minutes just revealing in the feeling of one another. Loke nuzzled her neck placing feather light kisses at her pulse spots making her gasp slightly. Pulling back he saw the lust in her eyes and he was sure his reflected back the same emotions. Bringing her hands into his he noticed how much larger they were compared to hers. Squeezing them he smiled. "Come. There is much to discuss."
Lucy followed Loke back into the bathhouse that had changed her life for the better. She had noticed that nothing had changed. Of course the place was vacant as it was now daylight. Continuing their journey up the elevators she noticed that he was taking her to the top of the house; she instantly became nervous. "Loke?"
He stopped and looked behind himself. He was instantly reminded of the Lucy he met so long ago, she was scared. Coming up to her he rubbed her cheek affectionately with his thumb; letting it linger on her lips. Licking his own he had the urge to kiss hers; so he did. Ever so lightly was their kiss but it still left her breathless; instantly feeling goosebumps line her exposed arms. It was such an intimate action, that she couldn't catch her breath; making herself second guess the authenticity of the action? This seemed too much like one of her dreams….
Standing back up to full height, he smiled. "No need to worry Lucy. Capricorn is not here…"
She felt her nervousness and the weight she was carrying being lifted. Taking the pre-offered hand, she was once again being led to the top of the bathhouse. She realized as they got to the top that instead of heading left, they went right; away from Capricorn's quarters. Using his magic he made the door unlock from the inside and opened the door for her to enter.
Upon entering his quarters, she noticed that his were the opposite of Capricorn's. While hers were extravagant and gaudy, his were plain and simple. Smiling to herself she saw a small sitting area in front of a roaring fire, a desk by one of the windows full of papers and ledgers, and a futon in the corner that hadn't been made. She shook her head, a giggle bubbling its way to the surface; even river spirits didn't want to make their bed.
"It isn't much, but it will ensure our privacy."
Turning she saw him use his magic to seal the door and turn back towards her. He had a look in his eyes that made her wet with anticipation. Taking a deep breath she crossed the room making her way to his form. Bringing her arms around him he completed the embrace. She still was waiting for this wonderful dream to end, and she really hoped it wouldn't. Breathing in deeply of his shirt she smelled fresh water, clean cotton and something that was uniquely him. She felt a calm with him and it was wonderful. She felt him breathing and heard his heartbeat against her ear; she knew he was real, felt it in her soul. But there was one thing that still bothered her. "Why now?"
He looked down as she spoke. He was enjoying the feeling of her in his arms. The clothes that she was wearing was something that he had never seen before. The pants were skin tight, not leaving much to the imagination. The shirt she was wearing, if you were to call it that, was also skin tight, no sleeves just a tiny string on either side of her shoulders, to hold it up. He felt her breasts rubbing deliciously on his chest; it made him breathe in more deeply. Noting her unique scent, he was finally content for the first time in many years. Looking down at her now, he was confused with her question. "Why now?" He repeated.
She nodded. "Why was the carnival able to let me in now, when after all those years of trying to return it wouldn't let me?"
Loke was actually stunned; his green eyes burned with a fury that he hadn't had in a very long time; not since she was here in the spirit world the first time. "You were trying to crossover; even after all the happened?!"
Lucy stepped back, somewhat frightened at him at that moment. "I-I thought you would be happy to see me again… Was I wrong?" When he didn't say anything after a few moments, she sighed. "I knew it was too good to be true; I shouldn't have returned…" She made her way to the door and was almost able to grasp the handle when her other hand was grasped by his.
"No Lucy, wait!" She heard him sigh. "I am sorry. I was just trying to see reason; after you almost died and almost never made it back to the human world, why would you willingly try to return when so much happened last time?! The reason why you were never allowed to return is because I knew that was the only way to keep you and your family safe. If you back to the spirit world and came to any harm and I could've prevented it, it would've killed me… Please don't leave; now that I have a way to be with you forever…"
Lucy turned on him like he had grown a second head. Did he want to be with her, as much she wanted to be with him? "You would want that?"
He scoffed. "Of course! Ever since you have left, I have tried to find a way to be with you. Now I think I've found a way…"
"How?" Had her dream finally come true? Was she able to be with him?
He sighed. He really didn't want to have to explain this so soon but it looked like he would have to. "This is going to take a while. Please have a seat and I'll call for some food. Are you hungry? Would you like anything special?"
She chuckled. She had forgotten how the food tasted here but the toast she had from home was definitely gone. "No, I'll have what you're having." She made her way over to the window to gaze and let her mind clear.
Loke sighed but rang a bell that was close to the door. A few minutes later Lucy was startled when a phone on his desk started to ring. Smiling at her, he answered the phone. Speaking quickly he ended the called and walked up to her.
She turned slightly to see that he had joined her but turned back to the window. The river was large, but she could see that his window faced toward the carnival and the human world; unbeknownst to him, toward her own window to her bedroom. She sighed, wondering if he had known all along that he was facing her window. Many times she was sure that they were gazing at each other from miles away not knowing that they were.
He came up behind her bringing his arms around her small form, resting his head in the crook of her neck nuzzling her again. Feeling her pulse quicken, he smiled. Kissing her there, nipping her with his teeth she started to squirm. He continued until he hit a particular sensitive spot where her neck attached to her shoulder. She gasped and arched her body into his. He chuckled her in ear.
"S-So… How is it that we can be together?"
They heard a knock on the door. He nibbled her ear lobe before kissing her temple. "Later…"
After eating a small portion of rice, fish and steamed vegetables, they sat there in each other's company; each one of them a little scared to break the silence. Lucy looked around and sighed; she was getting quite tired of the silence. So she started with something that had been plaguing her mind since she arrived. "So… Where is Capricorn?"
Loke looked up at her strangely, but then smiled. She was trying to start a conversation that would lead up to where it needed to be. "I do not know. She and I had a very long talk after you left and I am no longer her henchman. She goes and does all of her own dirty work now. I am left here to watch over the bathhouse while she's away."
Lucy thought that over; glad that he was in control of his own choices now. But something still bothered her. Her face crinkled in confusion. "So why is it that you never left? Leave the bathhouse, leave her servitude…"
Loke sighed, getting up from his seat he made his way to hers. Crouching down he grasped her hands. Shrugging his shoulders, he began. ", I am a wondering soul. I have no home or place to call my own. I have been living in limbo until I found a way to crossover and not vanish…"
Lucy's eyes widened in shock. 'He has no place to go?' Then it clicked. I'm surprised I didn't get banishedwhen they filled it in. By all other accounts, I should have." Looking up into her eyes, he made sure she understood what he was about to say. "mavis must have needed me around for some reason…"
Lucy sighed. She agreed; mavis must have needed him for a reason. He was the reason why she was able to survive her first journey to the spirit world. Smiling she leaned forward until their foreheads touched. "You were here for me when I crossed over the first time. You were the main reason why I didn't die when I was here…"
Loke nodded bringing his hands up her arms lightly touching them. She shivered but in a good way. "And I also believe that is why hasn't let me die as of yet. I still have unfinished business; and I believe that unfinished business is you, Lucy…"
She gasped slightly but looked in his eyes and saw no deceit. Bringing his arms higher up her arms he brought her into a small embrace; putting his mouth close to her neck again. She sighed as he rested there again, feeling a shiver go through her again. What was he doing to her?
Pulling her long hair to the side, he nipped at the junction of her neck and shoulder. Hearing her gasp made him chuckle. She was so responsive and sensitive to his touch. "I made a visit to King, and she told me a way to crossover, so we can be together…"
Grasping the back of his clothing she held onto him. Not only was his mouth doing wicked things to her, but his hands were running up her shirt, eliciting jolts of electricity to her womb. 'Dear !' "And how is it that we can be together Loke…" Voicing her question from earlier again.
"The only way I can crossover to the human world, is to have my soul attached to a living being…" He nipped her earlobe, suckling afterwards to sooth the shiver of pain he felt go through her. Coming back down to her neck, he peppered kisses around her neck; feeling her pulse quicken.
Lucy couldn't believe what he was doing to her. Everything he did felt so damn good! Gasping as he licked the hallow of her neck, she threaded her fingers into his long hair holding him there. She felt his arms come around her body holding him to her. She cried out as one of his hands splayed across her bottom and he licked closer to her aching breasts.
, he didn't know which, she let her legs fall to either side of his body; he wasn't one to complain afterall. This of course brought her body closer to his and he was sure that she could feel what she did to him. Gasping she looked up as his larger frame looming over hers. Bringing her arms around his neck, scratching the hairs there, he closed his eyes and growled at the attention. Smiling, she realized that she only had half of the answer she was seeking. "And how do you attach your soul to a living being's Loke?"
Loke opened his eyes and looked down at her. She was absolutely beautiful like this; all worked up, red from his love bites and breathing heavily. Smiling he leaned down giving her a small kiss. "I posed the same question to King; there is another way…"
Kissing her again, he licked the seam of her lips, hoping that she would let him taste her; he was not disappointed. She opened her mouth and was greeted by his tongue running all around her. He tasted of water from the cleanest rivers and something that was entirely him. She groaned as he deepened it, bringing one of his hands behind her head, angling it to devour her. Lucy's hands clutched his shoulders as he continued to devour her mouth; keeping her breathless. Finally let her mouth go and he whispered in her ear. "Do you trust me?"
Without thinking, she already knew the answer. "Yes…" She moaned out.
Bringing his arms around her bottom, hooking her legs around his narrow waist, he lifted her up; making her squeal as she balanced on him.
Gasping as she came to rest on his impressive length butting up against her already hot and wanting core. Moaning again, he claimed her lips again. She let him explore her mouth as she explored his. Running her tongue across the roof of his mouth and along his sharper than usual canine teeth; she giggled a little. He was a Lion after all with very sharp teeth. She was pulled from her musings when she felt herself falling, but not for long. Their kiss ended as she landed on his futon, with him ontop of her. But that didn't stop him for long. She felt him devour her mouth with kisses and she groaned. She had never felt so much passion and love in one simple act before. With the ever increasing sensations and emotions she found that she was getting a little too hot; she could already feel the hair closest to her neck and forehead start to stick to her with sweat. She pulled at his clothing, trying to dislodge some it so she could feel his skin.
He let go of her mouth to help her with his clothing. He pulled off his tunics and obi and she stared at him wide eyed.
Lucy had to swallow hard before she choked. Looking at him like this she thought she was in one of her many dreams. His shoulders were broad and bulging with developed muscles. He sported an eight-pack of abs and his narrow waist made a deep 'V' where his pants stopped; but since his pants were kind of tight she could see everything. She gasped again.
Loke smirked at her momentary lapse. Stalking up her body he made her lie back onto his futon. Raising her shirt up to see the taut skin of her stomach, he started kissing her there. She giggled because she was ticklish, but it turned to a groan when he nipped at her with his teeth again; he must like leaving love bites she mused. It was then that she noticed that he was climbing up her body with kisses and nips; bringing her shirt up as well, exposing more skin for his, and her enjoyment.
He finally made it to the underside of her breasts; she was heaving for breath. She arched her back and he took his chance; quickly removing the shirt she was wearing he was rewarded with her fully exposed.
She laid there looking up at him as he gazed down at her exposed breasts. She had forgone a bra that day and now she was glad and apprehensive that she did. Bringing her arms up to cover herself, she never made it.
He grabbed her hands, bringing them above her head and kept them there with his one. "Don't you ever hide yourself Lucy. You are beautiful…" And to make sure she believed him, he descended on one of the erect nipples.
She screamed out as he closed his mouth over one of them. It was like nothing she had ever felt before; each lick and suck sent more hotness down to her core. She bucked her hips against him and he groaned against her flesh. Feeling the vibrations, she almost released.
Smiling into her flesh and hummed again and was instantly rewarded with her grinding her hips against his. If he wasn't seated into her heat soon, he would go crazy. But he needed to make her release at least once before he had his fun. Hooking his fingers on the inside of her yoga pants he pulled. She lifted her hips to help him. Kissing down her body, his hands massaged her breasts, tweaking her nipples every so often.
Her hands threaded through his hair again as she felt him get closer and closer to her core until she felt him lightly kiss something down there that made her almost buck him off of her. He smiled and kissed her pearl again, getting the same reaction out of her. Taking it fully into his mouth, he sucked.
Lucy had only heard about what he was doing and she didn't expect it to feel this good! She bucked her hips again, but felt his hands ontop of her hips holding her down, making her take whatever he gave her. That only made her hotter. "Loke…"
He hummed in appreciation hearing his name on her lips. Hearing her cry out again he smiled; he loved every single sound she was making. Releasing her pearl with a pop, he licked his way down to her opening. Dear mavis! She tasted of the sweetest peaches and of her own musk. Like with her mouth, he devoured her; not missing one single drop from her. Bringing his thumb to her pearl, he continued to rub it.
Lucy was in heaven! She could feel something building; it scared her but also thrilled her at the same time. Whatever Loke was doing to her, she loved every second of it. The more he played with her, the more she felt… She gasped as she felt something enter her and she crooned; something was wounding so tight she was sure she would break soon. "Ah! Loke!"
He pulled out his finger and plunged back in again. She was so tight! He needed to stretch her if he was EVER going to fit! Licking back up to her pearl he latched on, suckling as he entered her, this time with two fingers. He felt her channel squeeze him like a vise and knew she was coming undone. "It's alright Lucy. Let it go."
Comforted by his words and his ministrations she did just that. Arching her back she screamed out her release. Her legs contracted around him and her hands pushed him closer to her center, hoping he wouldn't stop; he never dreamed of it.
He drank from her like it was a fine wine; he became drunk on it. He continued to languidly drink from her until the grip on his hair and body let up. Chuckling he looked up and saw her in a daze breathing heavily. Quickly ridding himself of his pants, laying down on her spent form. He kissed her gently; waiting for her to return to him.
Lucy was lightheaded. She was in a daze and couldn't remember quite how she ended up like this. Feeling pressure on her lips, she licked them; only to come in contact with something hot and wet. Coming back to reality, she realized she was being kissed. Moaning into his mouth, her arms quickly came around his neck and deepened it. Tasting herself on his tongue made her hot again; but this time it was like an inferno. She gasped as she felt his dick make contact with her womanhood. Looking into his eyes Lucy saw love shining through. "Loke…"
Loke kissed Lucy playfully again. "The way I can be with you forever is to bind myself to you; my soul will be latched to yours and I won't disappear. I will remain in my own body; we'll be able to have children Lucy and live out our lives like normal people. When you die, I will follow you…"
Lucy heard him and cried tears of joy. Kissing him again she nodded for him to continue.
Nudging her knees apart he found her hot core with ease. Pushing forward, his breath hitched. Lucy felt stinging but no pain. She gasped at the fullness; feeling something give she groaned, gripping his shoulders for support. Seating himself fully into her, he kissed her hard to take her mind off the discomfort. He massaged her breasts, pinched her nipples to hopefully bring her more pleasure. He slowly felt her muscles relax and he let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. Looking into her eyes he saw her smile at him.
She relaxed and smiled. Opening her eyes she almost laughed. He was trying so hard to go slowly for her sake, he was practically shaking with effort. "Loke…" Bringing her hand up to caress his cheek she smiled. "It's okay… I'm not going to break…"
Loke chuckled. Pulling back slightly, and pushing forward hard, they both groaned. He did it again, and again, and again.
Lucy through her head back in a groan. Bringing her hands up she gripped his shoulders but then she felt herself caressing the flexing muscles of his chest and abdomen. He knew how to work her body so well! She felt herself climbing again; screaming at her lover to keep going; to go harder! She couldn't believe that it was her own voice making these requests!
Loke set a fast rhythm that pleased both of them. Bringing himself closer to her body, hooking his arms under her, grabbing onto her shoulders for leverage he let lose. He felt her channel start to flutter around him. Groaning he slowed slightly to keep some semblance of control. Lucy screamed out another release and it took everything in him not to follow her into oblivion. He wanted to bring her to release a few more times before he followed; but with her finally here, and his dreams finally coming true, he knew that he wouldn't last much longer.
Lucy came back down from another release only to start climbing immediately after. Loke had started pounding into her again. Lucy screamed. "Ah Loke! I'm going again!"
Loke nodded and groaned; he felt the stirrings at the base of his spine. Remembering what he needed to do, he started the incantation. "Oh mavis . my immortality and magic to bind myself to the one I am joined with. Bind me to her, and her to me.…" As soon as he finished he felt his release, and felt Lucy scream his name to the heavens. So he followed her, screaming her name as well. He felt his magic and immortality leave him. Looking down he chuckled as he saw Lucy had passed out. Picking up her unconscious form, he turned them where she was on top of him, but still attached at the hip. He felt then all of her emotions and feelings knowing the spell worked. Bringing the duvet over them, he fell, like her into a deep sleep.
He groaned when he was woken up a few hours later. Someone was knocking on his door. He growled but stopped short when he felt the small slip of a woman on his chest start to wake. He threaded his fingers through her blonde hair until she turned tired eyes to him. More knocking was heard and someone calling for him. He carefully slid her down on her side, kissed her lips slightly and covered her with the duvet. "Stay here, I'll be right back."
She nodded and snuggled back into the covers. Making sure she was warm, he found a robe and slipped it on. Automatically trying to call his powers to unlock the door he was surprised when the door unlatched itself. Gasping looking down into his hand looking for any answers. 'How can this be?!'
"Master Loke?!"
Opening the door, he towered over the five foot frame of virgo, the assistant manager of the floor. Glaring at him he waited for the manager to state his business.
Virgo bowed and shaking somewhat in fear. He had not seem Master Loke this angry in a very long time; what had gotten him so angry?!
"What do you want Virgo? I have a few more hours until guests start arriving."
Virgo bowed again. "M-Mast-ter … I-I have n-n-noticed a shift in the m-magic of the carnival. S-Someone crossed over! And…" she took a deep breath. His eyes widened. "Master Loke, you smell like a human!"
Loke growled. "Yes, someone did crossover and they are in my room. Now calm down and leave us be. If you need me tonight, I will be in here. I will call for dinner soon. Also, I will be leaving the spirit world at first light tomorrow." He turned from the frog and headed back into his room. Locking the door with his magic, he made his way back to the futon. Finding Lucy still sleeping peacefully he spooned her form falling back asleep almost instantly.
He woke sometime later. Looking out the window behind him he saw that it was still dark outside. Sighing he turned back to the woman that he now shared a soul with. She was still asleep, snoring slightly. He smiled thinking it was adorable. Running his fingers across her skin just revealing in the feeling of her. He saw her breath in deeply and slowly opened her eyes. Stretching she turned on her back. Looking around he saw she was slightly confused until her eyes landed on him. Smiling she sat up hugging him hard. "I am so glad that it wasn't a dream!"
Loke laughed completing the embrace. "I am too…" He held her for a few minutes until she pulled away slightly.
Smiling she kissed him on the lips. "What time is it?"
"It seems that it's a few hours before sunrise. We have a few more hours before we can leave. Night time is always spirit time. I don't think we can crossover until daylight."
Lucy nodded. She gazed at him and was, once again, captivated by the way he looked. He looked nothing like the regular men her age. Licking her lips she smiled; he was all hers.
Loke noticed the lustful gaze she was giving him and chuckled. "You see something you like?"
Lucy nodded. Sitting up on her knees facing him she began to outline his muscles with tender-light touches. His breath hitched when she hit a ticklish spot. She giggled. "Are you ticklish Loke?"
He growled at her and pounced on top of her. "Not as ticklish as you…" He then proceeded to tickle her until she cried mercy. By then she heaving for breath, and so was he. Leaning down he claimed her lips and then her body, once again.
Hours later they were walking hand in hand down to the river. When they arrived, the river had dried up and they were able to walk across. Walking through the carnival, they instantly felt the weight of the spirit world lift from their bodies. Sighing they walked through the tunnel of trees coming to the little stone houses, they saw a package with a bright red bow on it. Looking at each other in confusion, they walked closer. Lucy got down to inspect the package and what she saw further confused her. "It's for you Loke…"
He looked down at the package in a state of shock. He picked up the package and opened it. He looked at the pieces of paper in confusion. "What are these?"
Lucy looked at them and gasped. "These are papers that give you an identity!
Loke sifted through the documents and found at the bottom a small piece of paper with just a small signature on it, but with the flourish it had, he instantly knew who gave him this wonderful gift. "King"
Lucy gasped. "How did she know about all of this?"
Loke smiled giving his soul mate a hug and kiss. "She has her ways…"
Lucy and Loke walked up the road to her family's house. That's when she remembered. "Loke wait!"
"What?!"
"I just remembered! After we came back, time had past eight months! Our car was totally trashed and over run by trees! I've been gone for a whole day in the spirit world, but here its been…" She did a quick calculation. "Over a month and a half! Oh !"
Loke quickly came back to her and gave her a hug to calm down. "Lucy! Calm down! I think I have the solution in the package…" Letting her go, he quickly looked through the papers again. Finding the one he saw he presented it to her. "I think this will explain your absence…"
Lucy looked at it and was shocked. It was a document that not only had Loke's name on it, but also hers. "A marriage license?!"
Loke smiled and wrapped her in his arms. "Looks like King thought of everything…"
Smiling she complete the embrace. "Yeah. I guess she did…"
Her family looked at her then themselves. Her aunt then spoke up. "Well where did you go?"
She hated to lie to them, but it was, afterall, a partial truth. "I went on my research mission a little early…"
Everyone looked at her strangely, so did her uncle, though didn't mind. They were just happy to have their sister home. Giving her another hug they filed back upstairs . After they were out of sight they rounded on her again.
"Now you want to tell us where you really were?"
Lucy laughed nervously. Looking to the door, and back to them. The look didn't go unnoticed. "Well remember that we had talked before I left. About going on a date?"
Her guild people looked at her in confusion. "Yes… But what does that have to do with anything?"

Bisca tried to calm her husband down as it was loke that Lucy spoke to him. "It turns out that we were on the same research mission. I
Alzack was still bewildered. "But that doesn't explain why you were missing for almost two months Lucy!" Lucy looked at her uncle and sighed. Leaving Loke's side she gave her uncle a huge hug. "Don't you ever leave us again like that Lucy…"
Tears leaked from her eyes as she continued to hug her uncle. It seemed that she going mission took a long way out ; . Hugging him tighter she repeatedly expressed how sorry she was.
They looked at Loke across the room and smiled. Gray coming up to him as he gave him a hug. Loke was befuddled but gave him a hug as well; he wasn't used to all of this personal contact.
Loke smiled . "Thank you…"
Lucy pulled away from her uncle with teary eyes but with a smile. She looked like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders and she was glad that now he could rest better. Lucy went back to Loke's side and hugged him.
Alzack looked on in confusion. "Come dear, we need to know more
Alzack stared at his wife. That's when it clicked.the matchmaker they had hired the day but Lucy went to Loke and got married!"
