[Yukino]

What?! Yukino looked in shock at Rogue who slowly emerged from the shadows, and Lector who had been hiding under a table with a camera.

"R-Rogue-sama! L-Lector-san! What are you guys doing here?!" How long have they been here? And was Lector taking PICTURES of us kissing?!

"Oh. You caught us. Damn it." Rogue looked at Sting.

"What do you mean? Did you take pictures of that dumbass?!"

"Maybe."

"Stop being so vague! Tell me what you've been up to so things don't have to get ugly..."

"Never. Lector, fly back to Sabertooth as quick as you can with the camera. I'll hold Sting off."

"Okay Rogue! Good luck!"
Lector was gone in an instant, before either Yukino or Sting could react.

Sting growled, a deep and menacing sound from his throat.

"Turning my cat against me, huh?"

He started to gather his magic power in one place until it reached its peak point, scales like patterns developing all over his body and:

"Dragon Force?! Are you guys insane? You'll destroy the entire town like this!" Yukino shouted,

"Too late. And just to be clear, this entire ruse was Lector's idea; not mine."Rogue underwent his change too.

Two two were set on fighting it out. Yukino could feel their immense power ready to release any moment. It was silent, the worst kind of it possible.

"Stand back Yukino." Sting gave her a protective look.

"Guys please don't! This is going to cost a lot of Jewels to repair!"

"Once again, too late. I want to see if you've gotten any stronger from being the great guildmaster." Rogue sneered.

"All right!! It's on!!"

Yukino knew the place was going to be destroyed. She gathered the attention of everyone in the cafe and told them to evacuate.

"This place will no longer be safe! Please leave now while you can! These two know no limits!"
Everyone panicked, and as soon as everyone including Yukino ran out of the building, a huge explosion filled the air.

She heard Sting and Rogue yell: "Shadow dragon roar!" And "White dragon roar!"
Their huge breath attacks decimated a large portion of the road beneath them.

They started using hand to hand combat, occasionally using fist attacks. Rogue seemed to have the upper hand at first, slashing incessantly at Sting, with blinding speed. Then, Sting made a turnaround and immobilized Rogue with a holy stigmata and sent him reeling with a powerful kick.
Large chunks of rocks went flying. It was a battle between dragon slayers, after all.

"Holy Nova!" Sting screamed ready to unleash his most powerful attack.

No! Yukino thought. The Magic Council can seriously punish them for doing this! I must stop them, even temporarily!

"Gate of the Scale, I open thee! Libra, I summon you! Please use you gravity change keep those two from moving and attacking!"

Libra appeared, and did as Yukino instructed. A second later, Sting and Rogue were both on the ground, pressed flat into the dirt.

"Guys, you have to stop!! Promise me!"
Yukino yelled commandingly.

"Fine, Fine! As long as Rogue doesn't show the pictures of us to the guild."

"I couldn't care less."

"Shut up!"

"STOP! NOW!"

Rogue and Sting nodded innocently at Yukino.

"Okay." They said looking super agreeable, as if nothing had happened.

"Rogue, go back to Sabertooth and be with Minerva. You have your own love life too you know. Let me finish the rest of the stay with Sting at the resort." Yukino said, observing Rogue turn his face away at the mention of Minerva.

"Fine."

Yukino sighed. "LEAVE. Now. I mean it."

She realeased them both from the gravity magic, and thanked Libra as she transported back to the celestial spirit world.

"Fine," Rogue grumbled. "But at least I got to see you two kiss."

"Why you-"

Rogue melted into the shadows before Sting could do anything rash again.

"Great. Look, the mayor's here. We're going to be in so much trouble."

The mayor was a round, pudgy fellow in his middle years. He stopped as soon as he saw Sting.

"Wait! I know you!"

"I do too!"

"You're the one who saved me from those bandits last year!"

"Oh yeah!"

"Since I never repaid my debt to you, I guess I'll just overlook this damage and not report you to the magic council."

"Thank you so much sir!"

"Mr. Mayor, we will still send you money for the repairs, of course. We're really sorry for all that trouble..." Yukino said, shutting Sting up with a look.

"Oh, well, that would be very much appreciated. Thank you for stopping them from causing further damage, young lady. Your magic is impressive."

"Thank you, Mr. Mayor."

"Of course. No hard feelings, but I have to leave for a meeting. I hope we meet again soon. In a less unfortunate circumstance, of course."
He handed Sting a business card.

And just like that, they somehow got out of a potential sentence in prison.

"Oops...I feel kinda bad...but, Yuki! Let's go back to the resort and go swimming! And we still need to talk about the sleeping arrangement...personally I would be fine sharing the bed. You?" Sting said cheerfully.

"Uh, sure..." Yukino said shyly.

Sting gave her a cocky grin, hugged her with one arm, and didn't even turn back once to look at the trail of destruction he left.

Ah...baka.
