Chapter 7: Partners

-Lyon P. O. V.-

Once everybody woke up, Kinana made everyone breakfast. Apparently, Meredy can keep a lot of things inside her... shirt...

She pulled an egg out, which Kinana made for Erik. She also pulled a few other kinds of things out for everyone else.

She pulled a long sausage out of there, I took a mental note that long sausages can do that with her, and Kinana cooked it and handed it to Meredy.

Meredy then gave the sausage to me, which seemed backwards.

Wait... Why am I thinking so many perverted thoughts in the morning? And about Meredy of all people?

Erik seemed rather uncomfortable during breakfast. I wonder what happened.

He can't be disappointed about the breakfast, can he? He got it the right way. Kinana giving him an egg- No! Bad Lyon, bad!

"Lyon? Lyoooooooooon? LYON!"

I snapped back to reality. Meredy was waving her hand in front of my face. "You have been spacing out for about five minutes now. I was starting to worry that Mrs. Mindfuck had melted your brain or something."

"Please don't tell me we are calling her that." Erik sighed.

"What were you thinking about?" Meredy asked.

I shrugged. "Nothing really. I guess I really was just spacing out."

Suddenly, she smirked. "Oh, I get it. It's okay, Lyon. We don't have to keep it a secret."

Erik raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about Meredy?"

Meredy smiled, facing the group, then hugged my arm. "Lyon and I are partners!"

My face burned red as Jellal nearly choked on his breakfast. "WHAT!?" He cried.

I tried to calm him down. "Now, now. Jellal, it's not like that."

He stood up. "It'd better not be! You need to prove yourself if you're going to date my adopted daughter!"

Now Meredy's face burned red. "Jellal..."

I decided to quickly end this. "Meredy and I are going to be partners to defeat Reito. Nothing more, nothing less."

"For now..."

I looked at Meredy. "Meredy, did you say something?"

She shook her head frantically. "No, no! Nothing!"

Jellal sat down. "Okay, I can respect that. You are the most fitting to fight him, being an ice-make wizard yourself, and Meredy is very strong, too, but there isn't a member that Meredy will have to specifically fight, as in there isn't one that matches her style or such.You two got this."

Well, I'm glad that that went off without a hitch. We all finished breakfast pretty soon after that and we kept going.

"Now, unless we run into a really big obstacle, tonight should be the last time we stop to rest for the night." Jellal said, looking over his paper again.

"How long are you gonna look at that paper?" Erza asked.

"As long as we are after this guild." Jellal answered, not looking up.

"Is it really that important?" Erza groaned.

Jellal looked up this time. "Yes, it is! This paper is essential to our victory! This has all the information about the guild, as well as any strategies we can employ to defeat them!"

"What's your plan for Mrs. Mindfuck? I want to fight her." Erza said.

"What did I say earlier!?" Erik yelled.

"I agree. Let's not call her that." I said.

"Well, that won't stop Erza." Kinana said, sighing.

"Well, we don't know exactly what her magic does, so the only idea is to bring two people. Unless she can manipulate more that one mind at a time. In that case, we're fucked." Jellal answered.

"You mean mindfucked." Erza said, smirking.

"I hate all of you." Erik grumbled. "Except you, Kinana."

The girl blushed a little at the comment.

This is gonna be one long day.


-Third Person P. O. V.-

Reito walked out of the master's chambers. "Okay, guys. The boss is done with me."

"Reito-kun!" Ame tackled him to the ground with a hug, then started rubbing her face against his chest.

"Hey, Ame! Get off of me!" He pushed her off of him and got up.

"So, what did Master want?" Ame asked, bouncing on her heels.

"She just wanted to tell me that I shouldn't use Iced Shell when we fight those Crime Sorciere guys."

Ame nodded, then Reito noticed something.

"Where'd everyone else go?"

Ame giggled, then put a finger to her chin, thinking. "Well, Josei went to go do jumping jacks without a bra on in front of the mirror, Nise went to go watch her, Kata went to go plays darts in the basement, and Ishi is gathering more rocks out front."

Reito scoffed. "Again? Why does that guy need so many rocks?"

"He's going to greet the criminals when they arrive!"

"What!? I thought that was my job!?"

Ame giggled. "Oh, Reito-kun, you don't have to face them first to prove to me that you're a big, strong boy. Ishi thought that he'd go first so if they all attack at once, he'll take the fall, and not Reito-kun!"

Reito thought for a moment. He smiled then crossed his arms. "Well, I guess that old boulder can face them first. Just saving the best for last. Either way, I'll beat that ice guy no problem!"

Ame remembered what Kata told them. She didn't want to hide anything or lie to Reito, but she still couldn't encourage him to fight Lyon, or even tell him his identity. "Whoever Reito-kun fights, Reito-kun beats! It doesn't matter who Reito-kun fights, Reito-kun will beat them!"

Reito nodded. "Thanks, Ame. You're the only one who understands me."

"Cause Ame loves Reito-kun! We're going to partners in love one day!"

Reito's expression suddenly turned sour and he flicked her forehead. "Don't do that. I'm bored now. I'm gonna go watch Josei's boobs bounce like crazy."

Reito walked off, leaving Ame with an angry face. She mumbled something to herself before walking off to her room.

"Stupid Love Rival...!"

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

That Ame, huh? What's the deal with water magic users? Seems like it comes with a burning love.

Speaking of which, maybe you guys want to see who Ame is so crazy about, right? Well, here he is! Reito Ame!

That flower crown will be explained later, and his red eyes aren't important. He was born with red eyes. The reason why... may or may not be important, I haven't decided. Anyway, what do you guys think?
