(Jason's POV)
"You serious about joining me at the Northern front?" I asked Kagura
I was piloting the chopper as she sat next to me, crossing her legs.
She nodded, "I am." She said, "I am positive my aid will not be required at Magnolia."
"Yea, seemed like Natsu was going crazy." I said, "By the way, you're not worried about your friends?"
"They'll be fine." She said, "They're not so weak that I have to worry about them."
"Yeap.." I said nodding
We were in the air, making our way to the Northern Front, going full speed on this bad boy. Cool thing about War Magic, I can put any war vehicle on steroids and they'll go faster than anything I've been on if I wanted. I could've used the Archangel's Might but I had to pick a bunch of people up and it didn't have that much room.
"Jason." She said
I looked at her, she was giving me a serious look, "Yea?"
"I can't keep that secret from Erza much longer." She said, "You have to tell her."
She was referring to the fact that she's Erion's sister. I understand why it's a bad thing to keep it from her, but like I had told her earlier, there are much bigger things to worry about. Besides, how am I going to tell Erza, a woman I've had sex with plenty of times, that I've bedded her mother, impregnated her, and her brother is that crazy dragon that rampaged about at Magnolia.
I have no idea how she'll take it. There are a lot of questions she'll have too. How Irene is a Dragon, which is the main thing I mentioned about her. Also, What led me to have sex with her. On hindsight, it's a really weird and messed up reason. Irene found me on the verge of death after fighting Suzaku, got infatuated by me. I mean, she was meant to spy on me regardless but her becoming slightly obsessed with me wasn't part of the plan and we ended up fucking.
It's really weird.
"You really want to have this conversation again?" I asked
"I'll have it as many times as I need to." She said seriously, "I understand that this is too much for you to handle at once. You have a son and you're fighting a war at the same time. You can't be worried about a lot of things, lest you get distracted."
"Well, there's that." I said looking ahead, "When the hammer is dropped, I'll handle the consequences."
"And also, not just Erza." She continued, "That issue with Gray, you didn't even seem worried, yet you seemed like you knew what that was about."
"I have Felicity tracking down Gray's magical signature." I told her, "When she locates him, she'll send Natsu to find him. Also, Natsu's a Dragon Slayer, he's got a good nose. Besides, Gray can handle himself, I trust he'll get out of it unscathed."
"And why's that?" She asked
"Hm..." I said
"You know something do you?" She said, "I know you do."
"Okay, I do." I said, "But trust me when I say this, now's not the time to discuss this, Kagura. I mean it."
"Fine." She said, "I trust you."
"Good." I said, "I appreciate it."
"All of that aside, we do need to talk." She said
I looked at her with a frown, "About?"
"Us." She said
"Oh." I said softly
I suddenly got nervous. I didn't expect a conversation like this would come so soon. I mean, we've had conversations like this before, but not after I was told by Erza that Kagura may have feelings for me. And especially after Kagura just recently said that she indeed loved me."
She looked at me with a sad look, "I saw the way Mavis was looking at you." She said, "And the way she held your son...Are you two together?"
I gulped, "Uhm..." I said, "Well, the thing is..."
"I-It's fine if you are, I mean..." She said flustered, "I....."
I sighed, "It's complicated...I think...." I said, "We....we shared a moment....a while ago, when we met...."
"Oh." She said, "L-Like ours?"
"It was different." I said, "Much different.....I helped her....she helped me.....and she developed feelings....But I am not sure what we are. She did say she was willing to share me, whatever that meant.....but...I do care for her.."
I looked ahead, holding the piloting joysticks. I can't believe what was coming out of my mouth. I was saying this stuff to Kagura, of all people.
"I understand." Kagura said, "Well, Jason, just know one thing."
I looked at her, "What is it?"
"You and I..." She started, "We were going to have a child. And that was taken away from us. That's not something I'm going to forget. Whatever you and Mavis shared, I can't imagine it was much stronger than that."
I smiled slightly, "If only you knew..." I said, "It's not that easy to explain."
"Maybe you should explain it to me one day." She said seriously, "Because, Jason, I do care about you. And seeing your son....well, let's just say it resurfaced some feelings I had pushed down..."
"I'm sorry about that, Kagura." I said
"Don't be." She said, "It's fine. It's not easy to get over the loss of a child."
"Yea..." I said softly, "You're right."
"But.....it's the same with me..." She said
I raised an eyebrow, "Hm?" I asked
She blushed slightly, "I'm willing to share you too..." She said,
"We can make an arrangement..."
