Kess pov

I woke slowly as the light peered in and could here Warren's voice from my communications lacrima in my bag calling me. I groaned and snuggled closer to the Lion spirit sharing my bed who let out a chuckle as I try to ignore it.

"If you let me go, I can get it for you, and we can return to cuddling while you answer.", he says teasingly.

I think about it debatingly since I'd had a long week. I'd been on a long job and just completed it as well as reestablishing, multiple contacts for my family being the last surviving member. So saying I was tired was understating. It had been Loke's idea to get a room at a resort and enjoy some rest and recreation.

"Fine but after we should order some room service.", I say pouting as I look up into his eyes from my spot.

"Anything for you my princess.", he says as he disentangles from me and grabs my lacrima quickly returning it to me and as I make my call he contacts room service.

"Alright Warren what did you want?", I say sitting up wiping the sleep from my eyes.

"I had questions about your cousin Michelle.", he says as I rack my brain.

"Warren my only living relative is Lucy. I don't have a cousin Michelle.", I reply wondering what he's smoking.

"Well she says she's you and Lucy's cousin and just showed up out of the blue one day with the hand from the Infinity clock.", he says.

"Nope no cousins named Mich.... Wait did you say the Infinity clock?? Please tell me you had Gajeel eat it. ", I ask as I sit up more alert as Loke sits down by me.

"So you've heard of the clock?", Macao asks.

"Yes, and I know about the stupid children's book about it. If any pieces are found they should be destroyed so it can never see day light.", I say firmly.

"Well unfortunately it's assembled and the Oracion Seis has stolen the clock from us. We're currently sending teams to the cathedrals that the Seis are attacking. Actually Gray and Freed are going to one near where you are.", Warren says.

"Gray and Freed, what crackhead thought that was a good idea?", I ask.

"Why Cana, and her cards.", Makarov says.

"Sir that's a horrible pairing and If the other teams are half as bad you should see if Cana's feeling ok.", I say.

But just to be safe I'll head to the cathedral. Unlike my friends I know what's being hidden there. I guess you could say Neville is a deceased great uncle.

"I'll finish up here check on Gray and Freed then return to the guild.", I say.

"One thing Kess are you sure you don't know a Michelle Lobster?", Macao asks.

"Macao the only Michelle Lobster I ever knew was a doll that Lucy used o play with.", I say getting a bad feeling.

After I release the lacrima I look up at Loke.

"So what's the infinity clock?", he asks as I open up the mind link and give him everything I know about it.

From what it really is, to why it's dangerous as I lean my forehead on him. I do this so he'll realize how dangerous the clock is as he strokes my hair.

Several hours later I arrive at the Cathedral just as Gray and Freed do.

"Kess what are you doing here.", Gray says as I survey the knights and spot Angel.

"I'm here to protect what she's after in that cathedral.", I say approaching the two men as I step between them.

"Ya she's my Angel and I'm here to protect her.", says an annoyingly familiar voice.

"Please let that not be him.", I say face palming.

"Kessy poo, it's you. You left me at the alter!", shouts the stalkerish knight as I shriek and hide behind Freed.

"Ms. Kess you were engaged to him?", Freed asks.

"Only in his dreams. He stalked me. ", I say " Once he hand cuffed himself to me and I almost sawed my arm off to get away."

"But I saw you naked?", he says grabbing my hands which I yank away as I backhand him.

"You let him see you naked. What will Loke think?", Gray says.

"You followed me into a fitting room stall!", I shout red faced.

"What a pervert. Such a stalker", Freed says.

"But we're gonna get married!", he says as I look horrified at him "Well now that I found you again"

"Over my dead body!", comes an angry growl as I'm pulled backward into what I realize is Loke's chest while I mouth to Gray to take Angel. Cause this is gonna be awhile.

"Drop my fiancé.", shouts Dan as Loke growls

"She's mine. And I'll fight who ever I have to!", Loke says covered in his own flames as the pair glares at each other.

Gray and Freed hurry to take on Angel as she calls forth Angels while Loke moves me behind him and he and Dan begin there testosterone fueled fight. I try to dodge as several lances come my way but unfortunately I'm shrank.

"Kessy poo your adorably pint sized.", he says as Loke growls

"Regulas grant me your power!, he shouts as he attacks Dan covered in flames "You'll fix her and get marrying my princess out of your head."

"No way, she needs a real man. And I lost her once, in fact she looks like my ex Lulu that is gonna get arrested. Actually I'm supposed to arrest Kess on sight too, but I didn't realize it was my Kessy poo.", Dan rambles "She's so cute tiny"

"Ya she's cute, but your not taking her anywhere.", Loke says "And stop calling my wife Kessy poo! "As I spot Angel pulling out the weapon for removing a body link.

"No the celestial mage!", I shout coming out as a squeak but she hits the poor guy and the curse takes over him.

Dan looks horrified as Loke yanks his lance away and walks to me where he crouches. "We couldn't save the mage, but I'm not gonna leave my wife in doll size." he says touching me as I get big again.

"Well Dan, arrest her, that way if Michelle fails we still have a celestial mage.", Angel says making my eyes widen.

"Not happening!", I shout as I pull out a Jade key as Gray and Freed stand with me.

"Your not taking Kess anywhere!", Gray shouts

"Open gate of the Dragon, Akira ! There's no way I'm going with you guys alive! I know what happens to the mage attached to it!", I shout as Akira appears in all his glory behind me.

"And you'll find that you'll be dealing with two Zodiac leaders. No one is taking my keyholder!", Akira says an edge to his voice before he lets out a roar as Loke steps in front of me protectively.

Soon Loke, Akira, Gray, and Freed are all battling Angel's well giant angel.

"Akira smash that giant cupie doll!", I yell as he smirks reptile like as I'm on his back. His insistence.

Although Angel looks bored.

"Well it looks like they got Lucy. Guess we don't need Kess lets go.", she says leaving as my eyes widen in horror.

"Give me back my cousin you psycho!", I shout as I pull my sword angrily.

"Kess no!", Loke yells as I jump to the ground from the dragon and he wraps his arms around me as Angel leaves.

"I promise you, we'll get her back babe. But I can't let her take you." as he hangs onto me.

Loke's p.o.v.

After Angel left Akira gave us a lift to Fairy Tail. I held onto my shocked bride as we go there. As soon as the others began talking about a plan to get Lucy back, she was back to her old self but she held my hand as she talked as if it was her lifeline.

Luckily Blue Pegasus arrived and we were gonna be able to ride Christina to the clock.

On our way out I pulled Kess to me, "Kess what would of happened to you if you were attatched to the clock?", I ask as her eyes meet mine.

"If we don't save Lucy, she'll be absorbed into the clock, and in essence become the clock and no longer exist. No one will remember she was around.", she says her eyes glossy.
