Chapter Twenty Four - Coitus Interrupted

Erza maintained her stern expression as she forcibly pumped the masturbation maid up and down Lee's cock. It was important that Ikaruga understand her new position in life, and, as Lee had decided that was being a masturbation maid, that was what her new position in life would be, until he decided to change it.

Watching Lee make love to other women always seemed to provoke in her some fierce feelings of desire, of longing, of want, but when it was Ikaruga, and she was being treated like this, those same feelings were subtly different in a way that was difficult to put explain in words. It was as if ordinarily, she sat in awe of Lee, who was so wondrous; here, she watched in contempt of Ikaruga, who was so lowly. She truly was a masturbation maid in Erza's eyes, and she would do her best to ensure that Ikaruga was such in her own eyes, as well.

Yet, that reality still excited her. As if she was Lee's right hand, helping him to punish the wicked, but also the punishment took place in a sexy way.

Whatever her thoughts, however aroused she may have become, she was startled out of them by the sound of the door being forced open. For a moment, she simply assumed that it was Juvia, who had gotten excited by the sounds of sex and decided to come in quicker, but it was clearly not. "Laxus," she said, still pumping Ikaruga up and down on Lee's cock. "What are you doing here?"

"You two-" he paused, glancing at Ikaruga, who Erza continued to try to jerk off Lee with, but Lee had actually pulled out and replaced her panties somehow, already getting himself dressed with a liberal application of his time magic, "-have made a mockery of the Fairy Tail guild!"

"I have done no such thing," Erza replied, letting Ikaruga down - the masturbation maid snapped up her swords in a heartbeat, readying herself for battle. Lee drew his own sword, and Erza appreciated his warrior spirit and willingness to back her in this fight. She had been practicing the sword with Lee from time to time, however, and she knew well that he was not yet on her level, no matter how quickly he learned. A second set of hands, and eyes, and actions, was always useful in battle, so she appreciated his willingness to fight even when the odds were so clearly stacked against him.

"You have. Just take a look at this!" Laxus produced from under his jacket a copy of Sorcerer Weekly. The very same magazine where she had been recently interviewed. She had no idea why that could humiliate the guild; she had read the article, and it had been clear and honest in its portrayal of every matter within it. When Laxus realized she did not believe him, he flipped the book around. "Ahem. 'Lee is a truly incredible lover. Sometimes we have marathon sex that lasts for hours. I've also seen him manage similar feats with his other lovers.'"

"Erza!" Lee said, with a sudden shout. "When did you say all that?"

"Hm?" Erza asked, her brow lightly knitting.

"I thought Gajeel had cut you off before you could talk any more about our sex life."

"Yes. His musical talents aside, however, we had the chance to complete our interview later, and I did so." For some reason, Lee balled up his fists right next to his head. "In any case, I don't see what is humiliating to the guild about that! Isn't it good that Lee is a more than adequate lover?! Perhaps if I had declared that his penis was small and unsatisfying, that would be humiliating, but this was not!" She would never have said such a thing, both because it was not true, and because she would never speak ill of her friends.

"You... seriously don't get it, Erza?"

"In all honesty, I have no idea what you are doing here besides ruining my attempts to masturbate Lee using his masturbation maid!" Just saying the words sent a fresh surge of anger through her whole being. How dare he interrupt her in the midst of lovemaking with her partner? Had he no shame?! She paid no mind to the furious red flush that appeared on both Lee and Ikaruga's cheeks.

"You made the whole guild look like a sex club!" He said, throwing the magazine away. "I won't let you get away with making Fairy Tail into a laughingstock. Even if gramps will just ignore this kind of crap, I won't."

"Very well. I still cannot claim to understand the offense, as we do not have sex at the Guild Hall, but I will meet your earnest desire for battle with my own determination to protect Lee!" She surged forward, and Ikaruga drew her sword, slicing forward through the air alongside her, the former assassin's skills having not dulled for lack of practice since she had become Lee's servant (she had only become his masturbation maid very recently). Erza grinned at the loyalty the woman was showing.

"Why is the house gone?" Konata asked. Ikaruga stood, catching her breath after the rush of battle. Scarlet was half-balanced on one knee. Lying before them both was the prone form of the man called Laxus. "Huh. What's Laxus doing here, Lee? Isn't he supposed to attack Gajeel next, then do his whole thing?" The question was incomprehensible to Ikaruga so she remained silent.

"He was offended by Erza's interview and decided to come here to start a fight with us," her Master explained. He seemed utterly untouched by the exhaustion of battle, his endless reserves of magical energy and endurance having proven more valuable to turning the tide than his modest skill at martial arts. It was strange to think a warrior as great as he had anything he did not excel in, but it was obvious to Ikaruga that he had focused his training in other areas, resulting in a talent at swordplay that was excellent for the vast majority of practitioners, but fell well short of the level on which she and Scarlet made battle.

"Oh. Do you think this short-circuits the Battle of Fairy Tail?"

Ikaruga's Master simply shrugged his shoulders. "Hopefully. It's kind of pointless since he gets back in the guild later anyway, and would be really annoying to deal with."

"It's his humbling character arc, though," Konata provided. The girl spoke as if she was miles ahead of Ikaruga in her understanding of the circumstances they labored under. Perhaps it was that foreknowledge that meant she had been able to declare that Ikaruga would henceforth be a masturbation maid. Perhaps she knew how Ikaruga would find her mind slowly cracking under the wondrous pleasures of being used in such a manner. There was a faint heat that bloomed in between her legs at the thought that becoming her Master's masturbation maid was a fated event, but she did not let it show on her face. She only let out a soft sigh.

Her Master blinked. "Ah, my deepest apologies for my distraction, my beautiful swordswomen. Undo. Undo." He said, pointing to Scarlet and then to Ikaruga in turn. Instantly, her energy was restored to her, her body feeling in fine condition rather than just having exerted herself terribly in facing down an S-Class wizard. "I should have done so the moment the battle was won."

"It was no trouble, Lee," Scarlet said, smiling as she approached him and wrapped her arms around him, beginning to kiss him. Laxus began to quietly snore. "I enjoy the feeling of after-battle exhaustion, the burning in one's body that tells one they have faced a great foe, so it was pleasant to experience it once more."

"In any case, Konata, perhaps his humbling character arc can be completed now, that he was defeated by Erza and Ikaruga, with only limited assistance from myself." A ridiculous claim, that he provided only limited assistance. His daring sword strikes, while clumsy by her standards, had certainly contributed to victory, and whenever one of them had been struck by Laxus's magic, he had simply vanished the injury away. With a power like that on their side, drawing forth whatever secret techniques he kept in reserve was unnecessary; what might have been a difficult battle became a foregone conclusion, though in his rage, Laxus had been seemingly oblivious to this. Or perhaps he had simply appraised her Master's talents properly, recognizing that here was a man who could effortlessly dominate the S-Class wizard Erza, and he should not rouse the sleeping dragon.

"I guess. Can you fix the house so I can have a place to sleep?" Konata asked, letting out a deep yawn.

"Yes. All should be removed from inside first, however," he said, and Scarlet hefted Laxus's unconscious body over his shoulder before exiting the building. He reached out with his hands, and the building began to knit itself back together quickly. The half hour's battle left no sign of itself behind. Laxus let out a quiet snore in his slumber, still slung over Scarlet's shoulder.

Scarlet stared at the building in a long silence. "I must take care of Laxus. I will take him to his grandfather, and explain what has happened. This is my duty as a Fairy Tail wizard," she said, clenching one hand close to her chest.

"Sorry you're still horny, Erza," Konata said. "I'd offer to keep him hard for you, but, you know, tired."

"Thank you nevertheless, Konata. I know that, were you not exhausted, you would step in to do this for your friend."

"I'd definitely get fucked by Lee if I wasn't tired, yep," Konata agreed, smiling, before giving her a lazy wave and heading inside.

Scarlet turned to her, her expression utterly serious. "I will be unavailable for a brief time, as I inform Master Makarov about what has happened. In this time, it will be your duty to protect Lee."

"Yes," Ikaruga replied, almost barking the words out, her spine straight.

"It will also be your duty to serve him as his masturbation maid, as he was clearly interrupted before he could finish using you," she added, and Ikaruga felt a faint flush of heat tinge her cheeks, resisting the urge to glance around to see who had heard. "That will be all," Scarlet said, turning around and departing.

Ikaruga followed her Master into the house without another word. Despite her old pride, the dignity bruised and battered by her treatment, she felt herself hoping that her Master would resume using her as a masturbation maid, exactly as Scarlet had suggested. That he had not had his mood ruined by the interruption of Laxus.

Her hopes were answered in the affirmative when he took her to his room, forced her to prostrate herself before him, and then began to frantically fuck her.
