Sunlight [Sting Eucliffe]

Chapter 14 ☆彡

A knock had stopped Sting and Nikko. They were making out, Nikko was on his lap, while Sting's shirt was off, and his hands on her hips. They continued, pretending that they heard nothing, but the same person knocked again.

"What?" Sting yelled, furious. Nikko sat up, and but a hand on his back, instantly calming him down. "M-Master has called for a meeting!" The person stuttered, clearly afraid.

Sting sighed, and got up, walked to the door, and opened it slightly. "I'll be there in a few."

He slammed the door shut, and turned around. "I'll be here waiting. Go on." Nikko smiled. Sting sighed, and pulled on his shirt. After getting dressed, Sting pressed a kiss on his mate's forehead, and left the room.

As Sting's Master continued to blabber on how Sabertooth was the strongest and Yukino's defeat was an embarrassment, Sting grew annoyed, but he didn't show it. He had been separated from his mate just for his Master to bable on? It was bullshit.

"Sting.." Jiemma said, glaring. "Yes." Sting said without hesitation. He went on one of his knee, like he was proposing. "I'll give you just one more chance. Don't you ever make such a pathetic scene again." The Master ordered.

"Thank you. I swear I will measure up to your expectations." Sting said, bowed, and went back to his spot. "Yukino.."

"Yes." Yukino responded, and walked up to her Master. "You have no excuse. You do know that?" Jiemma said.

"Yes." The white haired girl said, and bowed. "I lost to the member of another guild. I have brought shame to Sabertooth."

Jiemma threw the grapes he was holding at Yukino. Frosch was tearing up, and Lector was shaking.

"That's not what I'm talking about!" Jiemma yelled, "You wagered your life and lost, not only that, the enemy took pity on you! On Sabertooth!"

"Yes." Yukino responded, one eye closed because of the thrown grapes at her. "I will submit to any punishment."

Jiemma glared at her, furious."Then throw away everything." Jiemma said. She bowed, "Yes. I will do exactly as you say." Everyone in the guild watched as Yukino stripped. They said nothing, they knew that punishment from Master Jiemma was harsh.

"Yukino.." Frosch mumbled. Rogue closed his eyes, and Sting looked at the ground, his gaze avoiding Yukino. "Please be quiet, Frosch." Lector said.

Yukino looked down, ashamed. Pink was tinted on her face. "Erase your guild emblem." Jiemma commanded. "Yes sir." Yukino said, crying.  "I wasn't here for long, but thank you for everything."

"Get out of my face, trash!" Jiemma yelled.

Sting, Rogue and their Exceeds were walking back to their rooms. Sting was excited to be back with his mate, but he didn't show it.

"Master sure does go to the extremes, y'know?" He said to calm himself down.

"It couldn't be helped, that's why we're the strongest guild." Lector told them. "Fro is sad.." Frosch said. Rogue looked at his exceed, then stopped.

"Is this what a 'guild' is?"

Sting stopped, and looked back. "Huh?"

They stared at each other for a few moments.

"Yukino was a comrade." Rogue stated. "She's gone 'cause she's weak. The strongest guild didn't need her right?" Sting began to walk away. "Lector please stay with Rogue and Lector for tonight."

Lector hesitantly nodded, and Sting went in his room. "Rogue.." Fro said, grabbing Rogue's attention. "Fro is weak. Is Fro gonna disappear too?"

"You're not going to disappear, Frosch." Rogue told her smiling, "Because I'm with you." Fro nodded, smiling, "Right! Fro's not gonna disappear!"

"Of course you aren't!" Lector told her. "But I think Sting-kun is hiding something from us.."

"I'm back." Sting said, closing the door. No one responded, and Sting frowned. "Babe?" He walked over to the bed, to see Nikko sleeping. He sighed, smirking.

She had taken off her shirt, and was sleeping in one of Sting's white tshirts. It was big on her, and it made her look small and cute.

Sting stripped out of his clothes, only wearing his boxers, and climbed onto the bed. He grabbed the blankets, and wrapped it around his mate and himself. He kissed her lips, and wrapped his arms around her, sticking his nose in her neck, inhaling her scent, and quickly fell asleep.

• With Natsu, Happy, Lucy, Wendy, and Carla.

"Man what a meal!" Natsu yelled. "You eat way too much." Carla told him. "I'm stuffed too." Happy said, walking happily.

"Is the inn around here?" Wendy asked Lucy. "Yep, we're almost there!" She told the blue haired girl.  "Is everyone staying in the same room?" Wendy questioned.

"Yeah, and it sucks." Lucy told her, "Natsu snores, Gray strips the first chance he gets, Erza crawls into my bed.. The only normal one is Nikko."

"That reminds me Where's Gray, Erza, and Nikko?" Happy asked. "Poor Gray." Carla said, "It looks like he was caught by a party-crashing Lyon."

Everyone but Natsu laughed.

"Nikko's staying with us?" Wendy also asked, "She isn't part of the Games though.."

"It's because she didn't want to share a room with Macao and Romeo." Lucy laughed, "But that reminds me, where is Nikko..?"

"I saw her running of to somewhere after the tournament ended." Happy said.

"What about Erza?" Natsu asked.  "Come to think of it, I haven't seen her." Lucy said. "Maybe she's smooch-smooch-smoochin'!" Happy said.

"She did say she wanted to spend some time alone." Lucy laughed. "I doubt she's alone!" Happy smiled.

"Huh? Someone's in front of the inn." Natsu said, grabbing everyone's attention.

"You're right. Who is it?" Wendy said. "You guys sure have good eyes.." Lucy said, but then gasped. "You're.." Natsu trailed off. "Sabertooth's.." Wendy said. "Celestial Spirt Wizard!" Lucy finished.
