Soul of Fate

Chapter 21

  The train was finally pulling into Magnolia station and Carla looked at Yuki with a smile. "Thank you for taking her with." "Not a problem Carla. I had fun working with her. In fact it solidified a few things for me." This made the exceed raise an eyebrow. "Oh? What is that if I may ask." "She's kin. There's also the fact I'm going to let her train with me. She's one hell of a fighter. Just needs some adjustments." Carla blinked before she smiled, leave it to Yuki to claim Wendy as a sibling and offer to train her. "We should wake her. By the way." Yuki arched an eyebrow as Carla spoke. "I know about you a Bickslow." She wanted to pale at this. How did she know! They were careful! "Before you ask, I know this because of premonitions. I won't say anything to anyone" Yuki let a sigh of relief at that. "Thanks."
     Then she carefully woke the sleeping dragon slayer. "Come on Wendy, it's time to wake up." Wendy groaned as she slowly opened her eyes. "What time is it?" "It's a little after 7, I know it's early but we're back in Magnolia." That made the tiny dragon slayer jump up and grab Yukina's hand. "Come on Yuki-nee let's go!" Yuki blinked at the new name before laughing. "Alright, alright come on kiddo, we can head to my place it's closer." Wendy nodded enthusiastically as she pulled Yuki off the train with Carla following behind them. Shaking her head at the young woman's antics.
     However they didn't get to far when she saw a very familiar visor and the smile that lit up her face had even Wendy stopping to stare. "Bix!"
Said man looked up. A tired smile forming on his lips as he opens his arms. "There she is!" Ans with that Yuki ran over and hugged the man. Laughing the entire time as he spun her around. Both thankful for the empty station, with the exception of Carla and Wendy.
     "How did you know I was gonna be back today?" Wendy giggled "he called while you were asleep. He didn't pay attention and said "hey babe, when are you coming home? So once he realized it was me he panicked." Yuki stared at Bix with an unknown expression. "But don't worry, Carla and I won't say anything. I just told him we would be back sometime today. I didn't expect him to wait here."
      However Yuki wasn't really listening. She was just smiling at Bickslow who was simply smiling back. "You ready to go?" "Yeah, come on Wendy, Carla." Bickslow blinked before chuckling. He should have known she would invite them back. "Anything interesting happen on your job?" "I was knocked into a lake." His eyes widened as he immediately started checking her for injuries. "Bixie calm down, I'm not hurt. But I do have a new summons." "What's his or her name?" "Her names Aqua, she forced open her realm got me on land, I did a three ways summons." He sighed before rubbing her back. "You were okay?" "Yeah." She glanced behind her and smiled at Wendy before frowning slightly.
     "Wendy?" "Hmm? Oh sorry Yuki-nee I'm having a hard time staying awake." "It's just a bit further child." However Bickslow surprised them both and picked up Wendy. "Go to sleep Wendy. I'll carry you back." And with that the sky dragon slayer passed out. Yuki waited until Carla was on her shoulder before the group walked off. "You make her contract?" "Yeah, I did this time. I'll show you her later promise." He smiled at this. "Thanks Yu. By the way...." she looked at him just as they stopped in front of her house. "We might have fixed your house." And with that he opened the door and watched the look on Yuki's face change from shock to awe.
      "Who is 'we'?" "Laxus, Lucy, Ever and myself." She nodded. "And where was Freed?" It wasn't like him to miss out on something like this. "Oh, he was on a date with Mira." Yuki blinked before laughing. "I'll have to look at my house later. The guest room still set up?" "Yeah, we got that a new twin bed. But your room." She arched an eyebrow at this. "What about my room?" "I got you a new bed, a queen. And don't you dare complain. That twin bed was not comfy." Yuki blinked a few times before laughing. "I was gonna replace that Ya know." He chuckled but said nothing else as he went and out Wendy in the guest room, Carla right behind him. Looking around her house the heavens hell mage finally decided to head upstairs and right to her room. Looking around she saw that Bickslow had even painted her room a light Grey color and her bed she knew without even laying down was silk sheets.
      Smiling softly she removed her shoes, and bag leaving that on chair in her room did she finally lay down in bed now oversized bed. Just before she could fall asleep did she feel two arms wrap around her. "Sleep sweet Yuki." "You too Bickslow." And with that the two mages fell asleep.
