Chapter five: Revealing the truth

Somewhere in Magnolia, hiding behind a bush of a dark forest, Levy rested all her weight on her knees and pressed her chest with both hands.

“This has gone too far. They didn’t deserved to see that. I have to do something about it but I don’t know what.” Levy said frustrated.

Gajeel showed up and leaned down. “There you are. You know you can’t escape from me.” He said touching his nose, indicating his amazing sense.

“Oh Gajeel” Levy hugged him tightly. He place his left arm around her shoulders and the other curled around her waist. Giving her a soothing hug.

He broke away the embrace and slipped his left hand all the way down to hers. “Come here” He hold her hand tightly and turned around “Let’s go home.”

As she walked behind him, Levy looked at his black mane. He makes my fears fade away. She thought and glanced to the ground.

They kept walking all the way down to Gajeel’s house holding each other’s hands.

The guild…what are they thinking about me? Jet, Droy, Lucy…poor Wendy she must be frightened. Levy turned her gaze to their holding hands. I wonder why you came after me.

Fairy Tail guild was astonished. They didn’t know how to react. The bluenette was raised there and what happened made most of them terrified. Some whispers started to invade the whole guild until someone shouted.

“She’s a monster!” Said an angry guildmate.

The drawing on the bottom is from this scene:

Suddenly, the bathroom door was heard and a cheerful voice came out: “That was a very good long bath.”

He stated: “And this is a very comfortable bed you got here. What took you so lo-” Finally turning around and seeing as the towel was sticking to Levy’s wet and beautiful small body. He felt his face was burning. I’ve never had a chance to see her like this. Damn it!

And the one Levy’s alone is from this scene:

“Ok Gajeel, now is safe to look.” Levy walked out of the bathroom with a pink semi-transparent short night gown. Leaning on the edge of the wall and placing her hand on her right hip.

Summary: Tired of being “the damsel in distress”, Levy left the guild without telling anyone except Master Makarov. She spent three years far away from Magnolia learning new spells to improve her skills. But finally, is time to return home. What’s that strange magic she learn?

Chapter One:https://otakugirlkrod.tumblr.com/post/158442724445/three-years-have-passed

Chapter two: The mistery begins Footsteps sounded from the entrance of the guildhall.

“Jet! Droy! It’s time to go. The client is waiting for us,” Levy said cheerfully. “It’s been a while since I got up early to catch the first train.” She confessed to her teammates.

“Hey Levy!” She turned her head towards the voice. “Are you sure about this job?” Jet asked, sounding somewhat worried. “Beating a small dark guild is not an easy task.”

Levy smiled reassuringly. “Of course! I want to show you just how much I’ve improved in a hand-to-hand combat. I’ve grown in magic power, and…” Levy leaned forward. Curious, Jet and Droy leaned closer to her, eager to hear what she had to say. “I have a card under my sleeve,” she revealed quietly to them.

Jet and Droy glanced towards each other with confusion invading their facial features. “Why don’t you pick a translation job or something more… you know, peaceful?” Droy suggested.

The blue-haired girl sighed. “Guys! It’s time to show everyone what we’re made of!” She stretched her arms and held them close to her. “Shadow Gear will come back at full force!” She exclaimed positively.

Levy extended her arm towards her two teammates. Jet and Droy followed suit, each placing their hands on top of hers. “Shadow Gear is back! We will never break apart!” The team said in unison.

Magnolia’s most cheerful guild was making their everyday destruction, drinking and singing routine. Keeping his distance from the calamity, our favorite dragon slayer couldn’t take his eyes off a certain someone.

Shadow Gear came back from that job four days ago and I’ve noticed a few things… Gajeel thought, “He looks so pathetic.” He let his hand rest on his right cheek, still contemplating his comrade’s condition.

“Are you staring at Jet again?” Pantherlily asked.

“How am I not supposed to stare if he looks like hell! Just look at him Lil’” Gajeel replied irritated.

“Both of them sure seemed terrified.” Lily replied referring to Shadow Gears male members. “What happened on that job?” A tone of concern was now heard in Lily’s voice.

“I don’t know. Something smells fishy and it ain’t Salamander’s cat food.” Gajeel replied. Why are Shrimp’s lapdogs acting so different? Every time someone says Levy’s name they change the subject. They didn’t even answer Demon girl’s questions. His eyes turned to the blank space that is the blue haired girl favorite spot. And Levy…she hasn’t shown up in the guild either. He thought. “All this shit is confusing!” He thought out loud.

“Indeed” The exceed answered as he crossed its paws in front of him.

Gajeel got up abruptly and walked to the brown haired Shadow Gear member. He slammed his fist to the table to catch his attention. “Oi! What the fuck happened? All the guild is feeling worried for your sorry asses.”

Panicked, Droy looked around and attempted to explain. “Things got… out of control, ok?!” He yelled. A few guild members turned their looks away and continued with what they were doing. “We were getting our a**es kicked for Levy’s sake but something happened.” Droy continued in a low voice. “I’m not going to say anything more, so back off.”

Droy’s answer caused a bunch of “what if” scenarios to cross the iron dragon slayer’s mind. “What do you mean for Levy’s sake?”

“Droy, is not his fault either.” Another voice entered the conversation. “If we had done the plan the way we were supposed to, we wouldn’t appreciate what happened with our own eyes.” Jet said sarcastically, causing Lily and Gajeel to give him a confused look.

“You’re still not answering my fucking question, you scumbags! What happened to Shorty?” Gajeel was furious, tired of this word game they were playing.

“Her magic power is divided. It’s different somehow.” Droy replied.

“Kinda dark in my opinion.” Natsu’s voice interrupted as he walked in the circle.

“What the-” Gajeel turned over.

“How do you know?” The orange haired mage asked confused.

“I sensed it before. I noticed since I saw her.” Natsu replied.

“Now that you mention it. I did sense something strange.” Gajeel replied. Natsu’s statement made Gajeel even more confused. Dark magic? Why would Levy want that?I don’t know if that’s true but I’m sure as hell that something bad happened and THAT is going to have consequences. He thought.

Meanwhile, darkness and silence took over Fairy Hills except for some tears hitting the floor of a specific room.

Jet…Droy…I’m so sorry guys. I didn’t want you guys to get killed because of me. Levy tightened her fist. I wouldn’t forgive myself if I didn’t do anything about it. I told you I could do it, but you wouldn’t believe me. She thought as tears fell from her face like waterfalls.

“Oi! Crying doesn’t suit your personality.“ a voice commented from the direction of the window.

Huh? Levy’s hazel eyes widened. "G-Gajeel…What are you doing here?” She asked, not daring to look at his red eyes.

“You thought I wouldn’t notice you haven’t showed up at the guild.”

“I-I haven’t been feeling very well. I have a fever and-” She tried to lie nervously.

Gajeel interrupted. “You should know by now that you’re a really bad liar. Gee hee”

“What do you want?” Levy sniffed, wiping away the fresh tears but still refusing to look at him.

“I got us a job.” She raised her head at Gajeel’s comment. “We’re leaving in two hours. Don’t keep me waiting.” He looked at her over his shoulder as he walked away, smirking before leaping out of the window and down to the ground below.

Team Gajeel arrived at the train station and hopped on the last available train. Levy sat in the opposite from Gajeel and Lily. As soon as the train started moving, a green color took over the dragon slayer’s face. He shut his eyes as his gut began to twitch, forcing him to drop to the edge of the seat. He slightly opened one eye.

I don’t know what’s worse? This crumbling in my stomach or the weird feeling in my chest because of her eyes filled with sadness. Levy was watching her reflection in the train’s window as they passed a town near Magnolia.

“What’s wrong?” Lily interrupted her thoughts. She turned her head towards him.

Trying not to worry him, she faked a smile. “Oh Lily, it’s nothing. I’m just a little bit tired, that’s all.”

“I hope that’s the truth.” Lily replied, slightly doubtful as he positioning himself in her lap to get some rest.

Patting the exceed’s head, Levy let out a small sigh. “Of course,” she lied.

Somewhere near Magnolia, there was a small luxurious valley in Onibus Town. A few mansions on both sides. Each of them had gigantic well sculpted gold gates. Levy’s eyes brightened.

“They are so beautiful” she breathed, admiring every detail.

“It looks so damn fancy that makes me want to puke.” Gajeel’s irritated tone didn’t go unheard. People outside their residences frowned at the dragon slayer’s comment.

“Bunch of morons” He murmured, giving them a death glare.

“Now I know why the reward is high.” The small feline replied.

Gajeel looked at the request paper and recognized the house. “This is it” He opened the gates and the trio climbed the stone steps to stand in front of the marble-sculpted door. Raising his left hand, Gajeel hit the door a couple of times, the thudding sound resounding within the mansion.

From within the house, a young woman stood in the library, respectfully clasping her hands behind her back. “Master.” The red-headed maid bowed her head as she interrupted a young man’s reading. He looked up from the book he was engrossed in to the woman standing before him. “The mages of Fairy Tail are here.”

His mouth turned to a smirk. “Let them in”

Outside, the trio waited patiently. “Hey Gajeel,” Levy’s voice caught Gajeel’s attention. “How do you think the client is?” She asked.

“Probably an asshole” Gajeel grumbled and turned his sight to the fancy white door before them.

“You may come in. Master is waiting for all of you in the meeting room. Please follow me.”

As team Gajeel walked into the stunning mansion, a pair of brown eyes focused on the blue-haired mage. She is so cute and beautiful. His glasses slipped down a little.

Levy’s hazel eyes widened. Why is he staring at me like that? She looked at the brown haired man’s expression. The object he was holding in his left hand caught her attention. A Solid Script Magic book? Does that mean he is a mage? A puzzled look formed on her face.

Gajeel looked at Levy. “Oi! What’s wrong?” He asked, perplexed. “You’re all red.”

“It is an honor to meet such a beautiful mage like you” The tall man walked directly to Levy, took her hand and kissed it. “May I know your name?”

“I’m L-Levy…Levy McGarden. And y-yours?” She stuttered.

The man replied. “Call me Yasu.” still holding Levy’s hand in his.

“WHAT THE HELL!? HE DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE THAT I’M HERE AND NOW HE’S FLIRTING WITH LEV!” Gajeel said, infuriated.

Lily looked at him. “Are you jealous?”

“Fuck no! ‘Course not,” Gajeel replied instantly.

“It looks like you’re upset about him giving her all this attention.” Lily stated.

Am I? Gajeel thought, confused.

Maybe I feel this way because no one has treated me like this, besides Jet and Droy…Such delicacy, elegance… Levy sighed. He is a gentleman. But her thoughts were interrupted by a very familiar raspy voice.

“OI FANCY PANTS! CAN WE GET TO BUSINESS AND TALK ABOUT THIS STUPID JOB.” Gajeel grew impatient. His eyes turned to Levy. “Could you drop that face?! It’s annoying me.”

Why does he have to be so rude? I won’t forgive him for interrupting this moment. Levy thought.

“Who is this guy?” Yasu said noting the dragon slayer’s presence. His face looked confused as his gaze drifted to the floor. “What is a cat doing here?”

“I’m an exceed, to be more specific, Sir.” Lily clarified politely.

“Don’t mess with my cat, sugar boy.” Gajeel growled, sending Yasu a threatening glare.

“Let’s get down to business.” Yasu led them to the meeting room, seating himself at a detailed, gold-engraved table. “Tonight, I will have a formal party to celebrate my engagement.” Levy sat beside him.

Too good to be truth, I knew it. Levy sighed, forcing yet another fake smile onto her face. “Congratulations!” She smiled. “Who is she?” She asked curiously.

“You, of course.” Yasu said blatantly, as if it was obvious.

“Wait-what?!” Levy’s blushed, her entire face turning scarlet.

“That’s the reason I asked for a woman to get take this job.” Yasu winked at her. “Don’t worry; it’s fake. Think of it as… a play.” He said almost seductively.

“Play, my ass” Gajeel grumbled, furious. Of course, Yasu ignored his outburst.

Yasu regained his posture and donned a serious demeanor. “In this house, I have a very valuable book. Which is the one you saw me reading.” He looked at Levy. “This Solid Script Magic book is not an ordinary one. It contains the most powerful spells of this type of magic. Including the dark and forbidden type.” He leaned forward putting his arms on the edge of the table. “I’m pretty sure a skilled mage will try to sneak in tonight during the celebration to get this book in her hands. The small dark guild she belongs to are after every type of spell that eradicates one’s life force. Their beliefs and motto is to 'cleanse’ this world of the people who try to maintain any semblance of order. In this book is a simple yet powerful spell called 'Instans Mortem’.”

“…Instant death…” Levy murmured a little terrified.

“Correct.” Yasu confirmed, looking directly into Levy’s hazel eyes. “From what I’ve heard, two members of that guild have already mastered it, which is why we have to be very careful.”

Levy gave him a confident smile. “Don’t worry, the job will be done in a blink of an eye. Gajeel, Lily and I will take care of it. I won’t disappoint you.” She smiled.

Yasu got up from the meeting table and headed straight to the door. He stopped and turned around. “About the clothes for tonight, don’t worry, I’ll get them.” He gave her a smile. “Good luck, Levy-chan. I can’t wait until tonight to see you looking even more beautiful and stunning.” Levy’s eyes widened and a crimson hue formed on Levy’s cheeks.

“As for you,” Yasu looked directly to Gajeel, “please behave.”

Gajeel growled, walked up to him and seized the collar of his shirt with one hand. “I can behave how I want! Who are you to give me orders, Fancy Pants?!”

“Well, I am your client after all. I’m the one who will pay you if you succeed in this job.” Yasu replied dryly. He sighed. “What I mean to say was that you need to act as calm as possible to avoid suspicions.” The tension was so thick, Levy fancied she could cut it with a knife.

“Hey guys, could you please calm down?” She hissed. “The party is in a few hours and I don’t want any of you to do something you might regret now.” She turned to Gajeel. “Gajeel, stand down. We need to save our energy for when we confront the mages.” She looked the other way. “And Mister Yasu, could you please let me borrow that book?” She asked with her hands clasped together in front of her chest as if praying.

Yasu smiled. “Of course my dear.” He offered her the book. “Here, take it.” Yasu’s face coloured a little when their hands brushed one another.

“DEAR?!” Gajeel repeated, dumbfounded.

Levy blushed and smiled cheerfully. “Thank you so much.”

Later on in the mansion, Pantherlily and Gajeel were alone, making their way through all the grand house’s magnificence. They were looking for possible entries where bandits could sneak in and sealed them with Gajeel’s iron.

“Can you believe that asshole? First, he flirts with Levy, then he wants her to pretend to be his fiancée ! And don’t get me started with how he tried to give us orders and make us wear some fancy, stupid suits.” Gajeel’s voice echoed in the long hallway.

Lily’s ear twitched. “DEAR MAVIS, GAJEEL! GET OVER IT!” He snapped, annoyed at the repetitive statement. “That happened over an hour ago and you’re still dwelling on the same thing. I can’t focus when you keep whining.”

Gajeel huffed and looked forward. A familiar scent was getting closer with every step they took. That’s her scent, I guess she really is reading that stupid book. His studded eyebrows narrowed, sharpening his facial features, but relaxed quickly. What does she think of that bastard? He sure looks like a bookworm. Gajeel stood still in the middle of the hallway, forcing Lily stop in his tracks as well. Could it be that she liked him? He fell silent for a long moment.

“Hell no!” He said aloud and continued his path following Levy’s scent. “Ughh!” Gajeel released a frustrated breath. What am I thinking? Gajeel placed his hands on either side of his head.

When Gajeel and Lily found Levy, they kept their distance. Gajeel stood by the doorframe, watching her read. Some day she will find someone. A breeze came through the window and brushed against Levy’s blue hair. But not today, I don’t want her to be with this jerk.

“Ahh” Gajeel complained quietly. Why did I feel that strange sensation when I saw her blushing because of him? Suddenly, a particular smell hit Gajeel’s nose. Wait a minute, I can sense his scent…That jackass doesn’t give her a minute to breathe.

“I finally found you.” Yasu said happily.

“Huh?” Levy looked back over her shoulder and saw Yasu coming out of a door that connected the relaxing room with his bedroom.

“How’s the book?” He asked, getting closer to her before stopping behind her and leaning over to see the book. “Pretty interesting, right?” Levy looked away nervously, most likely due to his close proximity.

“This book is the pure definition of perfection!” Levy agreed, adjusting her reading glasses as she closed the book. Stretching her petite body, she got up off the sofa, sighed and held the book closely to her chest. “I can’t believe it. I’d love to learn all of this.” She turned and gave Yasu a bright smile. “Thank you for being so kind to me.” Yasu blushed.

“Something wrong, Gajeel?” Pantherlily asked curiously while watching the scene before them.

The iron dragon slayer practically bristled. “Let’s get the hell out of here.” He tightened his fist and walked away with a dark aura surrounding him.

Chapter three: The mission

Knock! knock! A gentle thud hit the door two times. The sound didn’t go unheard for the boys inside the room.

“Oi Lily, get the door. I’m still fighting with this stupid suit.” Gajeel said irritated.

“I’m on my way.” Lily got up and made his way to the door. He was astonished by the sight that greeted him.

“Ughh! I don’t understand this fancy shit. I have a mess with the tie and sleeves!” He complained. “Hey, Lil’. Who’s there? You’re quieter than usual.”

“I can help you.” Her voice reached his ears and he turned around quickly.

Gajeel was startled. Levy was looking gorgeous. The beautiful gold necklace stood out on her skin and made beautiful contrast with her hair. “Different.” He murmured.

She got closer to him. “What?” She asked curiously.

“You look different.” He let her tie the buttons and fix his tie.

“Do I look bad?” She said without looking up at him. She tucked some strands of hair behind her ear and continued helping Gajeel with the sleeves. “There you have it. You’re all done.” She gave him a smile. “Looks like Mister Yasu did research about me and about how I identify myself as a Fairy Tail mage, right?” She laughed nervously. “Apparently the stylist took it a little too far.” She let her hair rest on her right shoulder. “I look so weird with my hair straightened, and without my bandana.” She said a little insecure.

Lily, who was behind her noticed something. “What happened to your guild mark?”

“Oh, that? They covered it up with makeup.”

“Lil is killing the look. But me, I’m looking like that faggot.” Gajeel grumbled.

Lily laughed. “Gajeel, I think you should put your hair up in a bun.” He mocked.

“This suit is more than enough.” Gajeel grunted.

“At least you look like your usual self. As for me, it’s like the girls at Fairy Hills used me as their guinea pig.” Levy said. “But don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining at all…I actually feel pretty. ” She blushed and let her gloved hand reached her chest.

“You look beautiful. I wonder how your fiancée will react.” Pantherlily said, teasing Gajeel.

And he made sure it hit a nerve. “GOD DAMMIT CAT! DON’T CALL HIM LIKE THAT. IT’S NOT LIKE HE’S THE REAL THING.” Gajeel clarified. Levy and Lily laughed at his reaction.

Later that night, people with stunning dresses and suits made their way to the mansion at the Onibus Town valley.

The red headed maid appeared on the stairs and interrupted the crowd. “Now, let us introduce to you, Master Toshiro’s fiancée: Levy McGarden.” People looked up to the stairs eagerly.

The beautiful mage made her entrance, showing all of the guests the beautiful bouffant strapless green dress she was wearing. The dress had some intricate patterns made with little gold stones. Her hands held the edge of the dress to lift it up while going down the stairs. Wow. Yasu thought. He was stunned. A scarlet color covered his cheeks.

He could not look away from the mage. “Levy-chan…You look gorgeous.” He took her hand that was covered in a white glove that reached above her elbow, brought it close to his face and kissed it gently.

The sudden contact made Levy blush furiously. “T-Thank you.”

“That’s not a real kiss” yelled one of Yasu’s friend.

“Why don’t you give her a real kiss?” Another stranger added.

“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” The crowd craved.

“Kiss?” Levy asked nervously.

Yasu looked directly into Levy’s hazel eyes. “We should do it.”

“W-What?” A crimson shade tinted her whole face.

“What they are asking.” He said. Her eyes widened. “You know, to please them and make them believe this is real.” Yasu smiled. “It will only be one.” He let his left hand draw her closer to him.

“THAT BASTARD DIDN’T MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT THIS!” Gajeel growled.

“U-u-ummm…I-I-I…” Levy was getting more nervous as Yasu started getting closer to her lips.

“Why don’t we let the “lovely” couple have the first dance of the night?“ Gajeel shouted sarcastically.

“Yes, that’s a better idea.” The red-headed maid backed up his idea.

Yasu gave Gajeel a deathly glare. “Gee hee” the dragonslayer smirked.

Thank you, Gajeel! Levy thought while dancing with Yasu to a ballad song.

I wonder how Lily’s doing in the hideout. Gajeel looked outside. Also… He turned his head back to Levy. Why did she tell me that before the whole party started?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Flashback

Levy gave Gajeel a worried look as she placed her right hand on his left shoulder. “Gajeel, if anything bad happens…” She looked to the side. “Please be careful.”

Gajeel let his hand rest on her free arm and squeezed it lightly. “Chill down Shorty, nothing out of the ordinary will happen. Gee hee”. He gave her a smile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He kept looking at the center of the ballroom in which the blue haired mage kept dancing with the young man. Why do I feel like my magic power was concentrated on her touch? His eyes never left her figure. Then something clicked in his mind. Does it have to do with what Salamander told us?

The party was over and it was past midnight. Team Gajeel met with Yasu in the meeting room.

A fist hit the table. “What do you mean nothing happened?” Gajeel asked doubtful.

“Nothing interesting happened. Only three bandits showed up. But they weren’t mages.” The small feline confessed with his paws crossed over his chest.

“That’s unusual.” Levy said uncertainly.

“I’m pretty sure they knew Yasu hired us and set us a trap.” Pantherlily said firmly.

Yasu scratched the back of his head. “I guess I miscalculated.” He let out a sigh. “Anyways, stay alert.” He got up of the table and headed to the door. “They can come in at any moment. See you tomorrow Levy-chan.” He waved goodbye and walked away.

“Why did you accept to spend the night here?” Gajeel asked annoyed.

Here we go again. Lily thought, tired of Gajeel’s jealousy.

“We cannot turn down his offer for a place to stay for the night, Gajeel. He helped us and we should be as close as we can to the book.” Levy got up and head to her assigned room. “Go get some sleep, we’ll plan new strategies tomorrow.”

The sound of a broken window glass was heard near them.

“I knew it.” Pantherlily said.

Gajeel sniffed the air. “There they are.”

Levy’s bedroom door opened and she stepped out. “What was that?”

“Let’s get this party started! Gee hee.” Gajeel smirked and started running.

“We should hurry. I’ll go get the book.” Levy said making her way to the end of the hallway.

Gajeel sensed some magic power heading Levy’s way. “Head down Levy!” He shouted.

A symbol created a powerful beam of energy that passed by Levy’s head making her hair follow the strong wind it caused.

“Oriental Solid Script! That spell could have pierced my brain in a matter of seconds”

Gajeel asked ironically, “Are you trying to give me a haircut or what?” He smirked.

The black haired woman standing far from Team Gajeel showed them the book. “What you’re looking for, I already have it sweetheart.” She winked. “Well, well, well, look what do we have here? The traitor exceed of Edolas, solid script mage Levy McGarden and ex-member of Phantom Lord, the iron dragon slayer Gajeel Redfox.”

“Looks like you know us pretty well.” The iron dragon slayer glared at the woman standing before them.

“THIS BOOK WILL NOT LEAVE MY POSSESSION NO MATTER WHAT.” She laughed. “I will complete this job even if I have to kill you fairies.” She lunged at the mages. “My reward for this stupid task is more valuable than your lives.”

A lot of sounds were heard for a whole hour, shouts, punches, swords clashing and kicks.

“What’s wrong with this woman?” Gajeel knelt down, frustration was showed in his voice.

“I didn’t imagine she would have such strength” Levy said panting.

“I could compare her magic level with Erza’s without a doubt.” Lily said.

Gajeel looked at a panting Lily. Lily ran out of magic. Then turned his head to the other side. Levy was pretty bruised up. He grabbed a fist of dirt. I have to keep them safe. He punched the ground. We’re Fairy Tail mages! He tried to get up.

“GAJEEL, WATCH OUT!” Levy rushed to Gajeel and stepped between the long sword and Gajeel.

The busty woman laughed maniacally. “Protecting him from being killed? That’s so sweet little fairy.”

“Ahh!” Levy let out a painful scream, coughing out blood as the sword was being stabbed further into her petite body. Gajeel froze at the sound, not daring to take away his eyes off the scene.

L-levy… His heart started beating faster. He looked down at the ground lost for what to do and tried to wipe off his face with the back of his right hand, but a red liquid tinted his skin. This…is her blood. He looked up at her. Why the hell did she do that?

“Get the book!” Lily shouted loudly and desperately.

Gajeel’s mind raced. Why is she covered in scales…?

“GAJEEL!” Lily kept trying to get the dragon slayer’s attention.

Gajeel’s eyes widened. Wait a minute! Realization hit him. Those are my iron scales!

Levy looked down as the sword was being pulled out of her body. The scales disappeared…She lifted her shaky bloody hands to waist level. The magic didn’t work… Dizziness was starting to take over her. Maybe it was because I pushed myself too hard. She took a few steps back. I used all of it…my magic power. She looked over her shoulder and gave Gajeel a smile. “Gajeel…now is your chance…”

Gajeel nodded and stood up. She saved my ass. He ran straight to the black headed woman. The scene he witnessed snapped Gajeel out of his frozen state. “I WILL BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOU, FILTHY BITCH! IRON DRAGON’S LANCE!” Both of his arms transformed into long iron poles and hit the woman’s stomach with so much force that she was sent backwards.

She spit out some blood on the floor. “You are tough Kurogane.” Gajeel slashed again.

Yasu’s voice was heard as he approached the fighting ground. “SOLID SCRIPT: THUNDER! SOLID SCRIPT: CHAINS!”

Before Levy’s limp body fell on the ground, Gajeel rushed and grabbed her. “Oi! Get a hold of yourself. You can’t just pass out. You’re stronger than this.”

“I-I’m sorry, Gajeel.” She murmured.

“OF COURSE SHE CAN YOU IDIOT. SHE’S EXHAUSTED AND HAS LOST A LOT OF BLOOD! SHE NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATLY.” Pantherlily shouted desperately.

Levy’s vision went blurry as she fell into darkness. Gajeel carried her bridal style, took a look at Levy’s hurtful expression and thought. Hold on…

Gajeel looked up to the full moon through the hospital room’s window. I can’t believe we fucking failed to protect a God damn book. The magic council needs to lock down that woman. I can’t believe she used some teleportation magic to escape with the fucking book. Gajeel grounded his teeth in frustration. It gets my blood boiling knowing that Levy’s effort was in vain. He turned around to see the blue haired mage laying on the white bed looking pale. I don’t understand why… He knelt down by the side of the bed and took Levy’s right hand in his. But I don’t want to leave her side. He bowed his head making instant contact with Levy’s hand. Not now, not ever.

The next morning. Yasu made his way to the hospital. He stopped in his tracks right in front of Levy’s room when he saw Gajeel at the hallway.

“Hey Gajeel, I wasn’t expecting you to come.” He smirked.

Gajel grumbled. “What’s wrong with you fancypants? Of course I’ll come, faggot. She’s my guildmate.” Both of them got into the room.

Yasu looked behind Gajeel as if he was searching for something. “Where is your talking cat?”

“His name is Lily.” He glared at him and continued. “He got back to the guild.”

A lazy low voice interrupted them. “Can you two please be quiet? I have a headache.” Gajeel turned his head to the direction of the sound and smiled.

Yasu took a few steps forward and sat beside her. “Levy-chan! You finally woke up.”

She looked at him a little confused by the last part of his comment. “How long was I out?”

“Four days.” He said bluntly.

Levy got up in a sitting position. “I should take a bath.” Yasu offered his hand to help her. She looked at him and accepted his help. Feeling a little weak she managed to get on her feet and headed straight to the bathroom. With one hand on the doorknob she said without looking back. “Please behave while you two are alone.”

She closed the door behind her, and proceeded to take off her clothes. I feel different somehow. She stepped into the shower and let the hot water run through her hair and body. I’m sure that it has to do with my new magic. She turned off the shower and stepped out but a distinct color on the mirror captured her attention.

“AHHH!” Levy let out a scream. Her body started shaking because of what her reflection showed her. W-WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME? Levy started hyperventilating.

“What’s wrong?” Gajeel’s raspy voice was heard from the other side of the door.

“Everything’s ok?” Yasu asked.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Levy’s eyes were watering. “Don’t you dare come in.” She replied almost as a threat. “I’m-I’m alright. Don’t worry.” Tears began to fall while looking at every detail of her body. Purple shiny symbols were printed on her arms, thighs and back. WHY DOES MY BODY HAVE RUNES?! I can’t let anyone see this. I need to get out of here soon. She clutched her chest.

…I’m sorry everyone.

Summary: Tired of being “the damsel in distress”, Levy left the guild without telling anyone except Master Makarov. She spent three years far away from Magnolia learning new spells to improve her skills. But finally, is time to return home. What’s that strange magic she learn?

Chapter One: Returning Home

Magnolia’s most famous guild was no longer as cheerful as it was three years ago. Even if it still was noisy the environment inside was different. They have maintained the title of the strongest guild in Fiore. But there was some sort of emptiness in their hearts. The smartest comrade they had left without saying a word to her guild mates. The happiness she transmitted was very contagious. Especially to the ones who made cheers for her when things get difficult. But that emptiness was about to be filled again. It was time for the young girl to come home.

Long messy hair moving side to side as she walked, wearing a perfect red crop top that contrast with the blue color of her hair. In both arms she had white finger-less long gloves and shorts that exposed the delicate skin of her legs. As she was passing through the streets lots of the residents stare at her. But it wasn’t a bad thing, they were surprised of how she looks. It wasn’t a bit similar to her old style.

Levy McGarden, a beautiful and intelligent Fairy Tail member was making her way to the guild. Nerves were taking a toll on her, leaving her split between eagerness to return to the happy memories and sudden anxiety of facing the others. Standing outside of the guild, she let out a long sighed she was holding and murmured. “It’s time to come home”. She opened the doors softly and slipped inside quietly. She looked for her favorite spot, and there he was. The wisest exceed she had ever met and learned to love. Making her way to the table she stopped right behind him and bent over.

“Long time no see…Pantherlily”

Levy. Lily thought as he turned around and saw her with a bright smile and her arm stretched out.

“I missed you so much” She said. Her lovely eyes looking directly at his. She grabbed him and give him hug, squeezing the Exceed happily.

“L-L-Levy I can barely breathe,” Said a purplish Pantherlily.

“Oh! I’m so sorry Lily,” She offered him an apology as she moved him to the top of a table.

A pink hair mage noticed the presence and recognize the scent of his childhood friend. He smiled and whispered to his partner, “Hey Luce, I think today is your lucky day.”

“Huh? What do you mean, Natsu? The celestial spirit mage replied. He pointed to the blue-haired girl.

“It’s that Levy-chan?! Is it really you?!” The excited young blonde shout from the other side of the guild.

Levy’s eyes followed the source of Lucy’s voice. She ran and hug the busty girl, making them to fall on the flat ground.

“Lucy? Oh my! You look so gorgeous. How you’ve been?” Levy cried.

Lucy laughed. “You too, also, what’s with the tough look? You sure look more confident and stronger.”

“LEVY LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL!” Jet and Droy said in unison with hearts on their eyes.

Smiling at the heart whelming scene, Lily flew to the entrance of the guild. “I guess this is the perfect chance to get out of here and tell Gajeel the big news.” And with that last statement he left the noisy guild.

At the outskirts of Magnolia, the iron dragon slayer was munching some metal while watching the view of the whole town. He felt the presence of his exceed coming from behind him. “What do you want Lil’? Did you pick up a job or what? I’m getting tired of bein’ here doing shit.” He tossed away a few scraps.

“Well, let’s say that won’t be a problem anymore,“ said Pantherlily cryptically.

Gajeel turned his head and giving Lily a confused look. He stated: “What the hell are you talking about? Somethin’ hit you while your way back here?” And then he noticed something was off. He sniffed the environment and the strange smell was coming from Lily’s direction. He walked over to the exceed and grabbed him.

“Hey, put me down you creep!” Lily said uncomfortably.

Gajeel kept sniffing. “You smell different! It’s like your scent is overshadowed by another.”

“Familiar isn’t it?” Lily smirked.

Wait a minute. His eyes widened as realization hit him hard.

Lily nodded, confirming his suspicions. “What you’re thinking it’s the correct answer.” He paused. “She’s back and looks very different.”

Gajeel turned his back to Lily. Looked at the full view of Magnolia as he said desperately. “Levy?! Where is she?”

“At the guild, isn’t that obvious. Thought you were smarter.” Lily mocked. “I have to admit that she almost most suffocated me with that killing hug.” He paused as he saw Gajeel still as a statue. “Maybe if you start walking you might have a chance to catch her. So, what do you want to do?”

Gajeel looked over the shoulder. “Just like you said. Isn’t that obvious?”

Meanwhile, shouting and music was heard at the famous Fairy Tail guild. “My child, you sure did grow up while your journey out of Magnolia.” Makarov said.

“Yeah, you can say that.” Levy laughed nervously.

“She’s also looking hot and ready to go with Gajeel, ain’t that right Mira?” Said Cana interrupting the moment as she forced Levy to spin.

“Hey! Cut it out Cana. Someone might hear you.” She hid her embarrassed face with her hands.

“Are you nervous?” Mira said. Levy looked at her in between fingers.

“About what?” She asked.

“Seeing Gajeel again?” Replied Mira with a devilish smile.

“I am. I do want to see him, but I doubt that he wants the same.” She paused. “Not after I left without saying a single word.” Her eyes watered.

“Oh come on” She leaned forward. “I bet he will burst those doors open in any moment.”

A loud noise from the guild’s entrance was heard. “You’re really here.” She trembled as she heard his voice. Strong footsteps were getting closer every second. He stretched out his right arm and took her by wrist to turn her around.

“Gajeel, what are you d-” She felt the other hand curled around her waist. His action spoke louder than anything he could say. Gajeel held Levy in his arms like she would leave him again if he ever let go of her body. Her eyes widened at the same time a crimson blush appeared on her face. “Gajeel…” She relaxed and closed her eyes, enjoying the hug.

Everyone in the guild was open-mouthed at the sight. “What the hell?” Said a very confused Jet.

I think this is the first time he hugs me. It feels so warm and comfortable. She thought. “Oh Gajeel….” He heard her say in a low and sweet tone. She placed her hand on his cheek gently.

This bookworm doesn’t know how much I worried about her. But there’s no way I’m going to spit that out. He thought to himself.

His lips reached her ear and whisper, “Hey Lev, I need to talk to you” Her eyes widened.

“Oh my, this is so unexpected, but adorable.” With her hands in both sides of her face, Mira expressed her happiness.

“Isn’t it weird that metal head does something like that?” A confused Natsu said as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. Suddenly, he felt a fist in his head.

“Shut up Natsu!” Lucy said.

“They’re in looooveee!”Said Happy and Mira in unison.

“Ok guys, cut it out, that’s enough.” An irritated and jealous Jet said with a very visible frown.

Realization hit her. Jet’s right. She started looking around. I got so carried away that I barely notice that everyone was staring at us. How embarrassing. Stupid Gajeel, why do you always make me feel like this? She twirled a small piece of hair and tucked it behind her ear “Umm..I guess I should be leaving.” She step away as fast as she could, breaking the heartwarming hug. Turning her back to the rest of the guild, waving, she shouted. “Bye everyone! Jet! Droy! We’ll go to a job tomorrow.” Stopping in her tracks, she looked back over the shoulder and smiled. “Shadow Gear is back to business!” She paused. “Talk to you later, Gajeel.” The last part was muttered under her breath while she kept walking.

He grinned. Heard ya’ Shrimp. He thought as he saw Levy’s figure disappear.

The sound of bubbles emerging from the water were heard in Levy’s personal bathroom. “Ahhh! This is exactly what I need it.” She said as she stretches and submerged in the relaxing bath. “It feels so good to be here again.” Letting her body have complete relaxation, she sank her head into the water. Not being able to hear the sound of her window opening.

A particular dragonslayer was sneaking in. Her room looks like a freaking library. He shuddered and looked around. She still doesn’t know how to keep her nose out of books. He sat on the edge of the bed while looking at her desk. Something on there caught his attention. It was a picture Reedus painted of them. He was smiling while Levy had her cheeks puffed. Suddenly, the bathroom door was heard and a cheerful voice came out: “That was a very good long bath.”

He stated: “And this is a very comfortable bed you got here. What took you so lo-” Finally turning around and seeing as the towel was sticking to Levy’s wet and beautiful small body. He felt his face was burning. I’ve never had a chance to see her like this. Damn it!

“Care to explain…” She started saying while approaching Gajeel with a dark aura emanating from her “…what are you doing in my room?!” She gripped his shirt, staring daggers at him.

“Oi! Calm down, I will but first you need to get dressed.” he said, grinning as she let go of his shirt and crossing her arms in front of her chest. “Unless you want me to keep seeing you half naked, Gee hee” He smirked.

“I’ll be right back. Don’t touch anything. Okay?!” Levy said before slamming the bathroom door.

“That’s exactly what I’ve been doing for the past 30 minutes.” He said, still thinking of the new steamy image of her.

She dressed as fast as she could with her shaky hands. “Could you please keep it quiet, remember that you or any man is not allowed to come here. Oh Mavis, if Erza finds out, you are so dead.” She said, turning into bundle of nerves.

“Titania’s not here” Said a confident Gajeel as he scratched the back of his neck. Trying to erase of his mind what just happened and ease his heartbeat.

“How do you even know that?” The sound of the door once again was heard.

“I’m a dragonslayer” Said Gajeel as if it were the most obvious reason.

“Ok Gajeel, now is safe to look.” Levy walked out of the bathroom with a pink semi-transparent short night gown. Leaning on the edge of the wall and placing her hand on her right hip. “Can I ask you a favor? Would you please stop posing like a supermodel in my bed? You really did make yourself at home.” He watched her step closer to him.

“Should you trust me? How can I know if you don’t want me to see you half naked again?” He teased her.

“Stupid, of course I trust you.” She blushed and looked away. “Anyways, care to tell me the reason why are you here?” Then a cold breeze made her shiver and she stare at the opening.  “…And why my window is open?”

He pointed to the window. “That’s probably because that was the only entrance I saw.” He crossed his arms as he continued “And you actually did invite me, indirectly.”

Levy’s brows bumped together in a scowl. “What? When?”

Flashback

Turning her back to the rest of the guild, waving, she shouts. “Bye everyone! Jet! Droy! We’ll go to a job tomorrow.” Stopping in her tracks she looked back over the shoulder and smiled. “Shadow Gear is back to business!” She paused. “Talk to you later, Gajeel.” The last part was muttered under her breath while she kept walking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Her forehead puckered in an irritated way. “You’re not making any sense. I did say, ‘talk to you later,’“ she paused, raising her fingers to gesture quoting herself. “But that doesn’t mean in any way sneak into my bedroom. By the way, you were the one who said you needed to talk to me.” She looked at him intensely.

He turned his eyes back to her. “True that,” He said slowly. Levy slowly sits beside him.

“But if you want me to talk, then I will. You know it feels so good to be home. Seeing the Master, Lu-chan, Jet, Droy, Lily…” Moving her head to the side. “You…” she continued. “After all this years that I was gone. I can finally say that my journey was worth it.”

He shook his head. “Tsk”

Turning her head once again back to him, she sigh. “What about you? What did you want to talk about?”

“Never mind, not in the mood.” He lied.

“If that’s the case.” He watched her get close to his face. “I would love to keep this conversation,” Gajeel raised one of his studded eyebrows. “But I’m so tired.”

What does she mean by that? Is she kicking me out? Why the hell I’m staring at her lips? He slammed his eyes shut. In that exact moment he felt her hand on his firm chest, applying a little pressure to it to pushed him down gently. He held his breath.

Leaving her hand there, she snuggled her head to his shoulder to hide her blush and said: “I want to rest a little.” In a low, embarrassed voice she asked: “Would you stay here for a few moments?”

Letting out the air in his lungs, drops of sweat appeared on his forehead as his heart quickened. “Umm…okay…”What I’m supposed to do? And why I’m feeling so nervous? Is just Levy. He thought. A low and tired snore brought him back to reality. He shifted his gaze from the ceiling to the girl who was sleeping beside him.SHE IS ALREADY ASLEEP?!?!? A slight smile appeared in his face when he saw her peaceful face. Being with her like this, makes me feel different.

Arriving to his house past midnight, Gajeel felt the presence of his friend. “Hey cat. I thought you were sleeping.”

Lily looked at him and laughed. “I was, but your smell is pretty overwhelming.”

The comment hit a nerve. “What are you talking about? I’m not Salamander!” He shouted.

“That’s true. Is actually that Levy’s scent is clinging all over you.” Lily said while making his way back to his little bed.

”Shut up and go back to sleep.” Gajeel replied.

Beautiful hazel eyes open vaguely as the sun rays invaded Levy’s room and pierced the curtains. She stretched her arms up in the air while yawning. Memories of the previous night invaded her mind and without realizing it, she was already looking for Gajeel… He wasn’t anywhere to be seen…

“I can’t believe how forward I was last night, but I couldn’t be any happier.” She said to herself a little embarrassed. She got up, head to the bathroom and stopped at the mirror looking straight at her reflection. She said, “Rise and shine dear Levy. Today is the first day I go to a job with my lovely Shadow Gear members after all this years”

What never crossed her mind was that the job she was about to be heading would break her team apart

“…I should have told them my secret at the exact moment I saw them…they are my best friends…”

Tears streamed from her eyes.
