"What are you doing here?!"

   I groaned as her weight shifted over my thighs, simply making the tip of the sword poke my throat more firmly. I opened my eyes.

   "I'm guessing you don't value your life," Erza growled, her face close to my own. Her chocolate-brown eyes were ablaze, twinkling with anger. The position we were in made me blush.

   "I- uhm-"

   "Looks like Jellal, here, forgot how to talk properly," Gray laughed, and Lucy giggled, "Your Mother sent us to you, Erza."

   She frowned, leaning back onto my thighs. I guessed it was comfortable. "Strange. Do I look like the person who'd enjoy wanting to talk to you?"

   "Maybe?" Lucy asked, shyly, "Besides, you-you seem nice. I mean, you're very pretty."

   From my perspective, Erza's face melted into a blush, "Uh- Thanks. But-" there was the serious voice again, "Beauty isn't everything, Heartfilia. I think you know that."

   Lucy nodded. 

   "Y' know, Erza." Gray stated, "If you sat up, just a bit- I think Jellal would enjoy it. I don't think he's ever been that stimulated-"

   "What! No!" I shouted, making Erza lightly laugh, and get off me, let me release the breath I didn't know I was holding.

   "You guys are... by far the most interesting humans I've met," she whistled, "Anyway, I should continue my sword fighting. You never know when a dangerous thing might come."

   Lucy laughed, before suddenly gasping, "You're a pureblood vampire, aren't you? Why isn't the sun affecting you?"

   Erza smirked, "Special trait in my family, it's a great perk. Well, actually, I'm pretty sure all Purebloods have that trait - as well as the Humans they've... tainted."

    T-Tainted?

   "Great." Gray smiled, "See, we're making progress. We've known each other, for what, half a day?"

   "I guess." Erza sighed, "You guys should go. I'll ask Virgo to escort you to your-"

   "That's not needed."

   In a flash, a pink-haired idiotic baka, and Virgo appeared. I was still seated on the ground, Gray and Lucy jumped back in surprise, while Erza looked chill. This must happen a lot.

   "What?"

    I cocked my head to the side, curious. Gray and Lucy calmed down, and stepped forward, "What's up, Virgo?" Lucy asked, sweetly. It seemed that she and Virgo had become some-what friends, in the time Virgo spent dressing up Lucy.

   "Oh, it's simple, Erzy," Natsu growled playfully, making Erza's frown deepen, "You'll be sleeping with them."

   "Um, Sir. Natsu," Virgo broke in, "I don't think that would be quite an appropriate way to put it..."

   "Not helping!" I screeched, getting to my feet, "Plus, I-Is that really necessary?"

   "Yeah," Natsu countered me, stepping protectively-almost, in front of Erza, "She's the best swords-woman you'll find out there-"

   "Swords-vampire, you mean," Lucy mumbled.

   "-And the Queen doesn't think that two prophecy humans and a man with a strange stripping habit should be unguarded."

   "Who're you saying that to Pink-haired freak?! I'm also part of the prophecy!" Gray hissed, pulling up his sleeves.

   "You, of course, Droopy-eyes!" Natsu immediately growled back.

    "Oh, sure, you're such a hypocrite, Slanty eyes-"

   "Enough!" Erza broke out, placing a hand on Natsu shoulder. From her tone, she didn't seem happy. I wouldn't be, either, if I had to compromise like that.

   "Lead the way," she said drily, "I think sword-fighting will have to be kept aside, for now. My Roomies and I have a lot to talk about."

   I take back everything I've said. She's scary.

~~~

"Natsu?" Erza whispered, only audibly enough that Natsu and I could hear. Don't ask. I was next to them, okay? I'm not a creep.

   "Yeah?" he said, leading us into another corridor. We'd been walking for the past twenty minutes - which is a lot saying this is a castle. 

   Basically an XXXXL order of a house.

   "Are you sure you know where we're going?" she asked, sternly. Gray and Lucy were behind us, mumbling something between themselves. I left slightly left-out, but I didn't care.

   "Yeah... about that."

   "Natsu Dragneel!" Erza growled, stonily. Natsu immediately apologized, said something along the lines of 'It's-your-study-room', and turned right, walking right into a massive wooden door.

   I sighed, while Erza just rolled her eyes and picked him up by his collar. Gray seemed to be smirking, probably making up insults for his new enemy.

   "We could've gotten here ages ago, my apologies," Erza said, formally. I nodded, while Natsu was still passed out, a thread of drool was hanging from my mouth, as his tongue hung out.

   "Um." Lucy nervously shuffled forward, "May I?"

   Erza smiled, "Of course." she stepped aside, her combat boots clunking against the polished wooden floors, echoing sweetly.

   Lucy took a breath and pushed the doors open.

   One word: Wow.

   It was a large circular room, with huge windows in the corner, pouring light in. On one side, four-poster beds with curtains stood, waiting, while on the other, a simple clapboard desk was littered with pieces of paper. Parchment, from the look of it.

   The room had the feeling that it had been lived in. However, it had a fresh scent.

   "Welcome to my study room" Erza announced, proudly, "Well-" this time her voice was annoyed, "What used to be a study room."

   Lucy laughed, "Yep. Now you'll have us the whole day!"

   "Not really..." Erza trailed off, heading towards the beds, a scowl on her face, "It's not proper for a lady to sleep with two men like those."

   "Hey!"

   "Especially one that likes showing off his buns..." she drily finished, making me shut up. Gray cackled with laughter, while Lucy just blushed.

   "I've known them for a long time." she said, "So it won't matter too much."

   "'Suppose so." Erza sat down on a bed, the right-most one, near the windows. She glanced longingly at the windows as if planning to jump out.

   "But that's not my main worry," she frowned, "I- I am a pureblood." Oh. "And, well, I have urges."

   "Grreeeeeeeaaaaaat~!" Gray grinned from ear-to-ear, "Here, Lucy, pass the protection, and there-!"

   I was suddenly pushed from my position, and onto the right-most bed. Before I could process it, I was face-planted into something soft, and a faint burn was registered on my cheeks.

   "See, Jellal's excellent at pleasing women," Gray said. "Especially red-heads."

   "Oh, shut up!" I rolled off Erza, falling onto the floor, "She meant blood-urges, you dolt."

   One.

   Two.

   Three.

   "Holy heck, blood urges?!" I squealed, rolling away from Erza, who had a poker-face.

   "And it's worse on Full Mo- Nevermind" she sighed, "The thing is, if I bite any of you due to an urge, you'll be bound to me. You won't turn into vampires. The 'bound' part is much, much worse."

   "Jellal'll like that."

   "Gray too!"

   Lucy suddenly punched both of us, taking me by surprise. She looked extremely angry, which was something that rarely happened - did I mention that?

   "You're-" she whispered, sending a shot of electricity down my spine, "Oh, Erza-"

   "I can handle it." Erza said, curtly, "It's nothing. Nothing will happen, plus, it's not like I get mating urges, hah!" she laughed, nervously.

   "Hah, see! I was right! Oh, Jellal, you'll finally lose your V-Card!"

   "My Dear Gray," she sarcastically clicked her tongue, "Say that once more time, and I think you'll-"

    "Sorry, Ma'am! It won't happen again!"
