Chapter Six- Celestial King

After an hour of sleep I went to check on Yukino's progress. As I was about to knock on the door. I noticed it was open, then I heard the sound of soft laughter.

"Celestial King, you have been like a father to me. And I know that you have agreed to host our guilds. But I have one more request." A moment of silence, before I heard the rumble of the Celestial King's voice.

"What is it, friend?" Quiet filled the air before I heard Yukino whisper ever so quietly.

"What do the stars hold for my guild masters? Especially Rogue." She muttered, and I could just see her cheeks blushing an adorable red.

"The stars have been the great guides you have trusted since you were young. For you, I will tell you that what you feel in your heart will have the chance to blossom. Till the morning rises, I must go my friend." With finality I felt the air be sucked from the atmosphere before it slowly returned. I waited a moment before knocking. The door swung open, and I looked to the ground to where Yukino was sitting in front of a white bowl of water. It was in the middle of a moon ray. She glared at me, a deep blush crawling into her face.

"How long have you been standing there?" She squeaked, I curled my lips into a gentle smile.

"Long enough to begin shipping Rokino." I teased her before sitting down beside her, crossing my legs.

"Rokino." She whispered to herself. "I like the sound of that. Besides that! What can I help you with, Sting?"

"I just wanted to check on your progress, I take it He agreed."

"Yes. I used a ritual that Lucy showed me. She uses it to communicate with the Celestial King. It only works during the full moon." She told me, and I just looked at the bowl.

"How does it work?" I asked, and she began to explain. She pointed to the white bowl filled with water.

"This bowl is made of mother of pearl, the water inside is spring water I collected during a new moon. The mother of pearl is a good conductor of Celestial magic, the spring water collected during the new moon helps solidify moonlight. Making it the perfect temporary celestial lacrima." I nodded my head in understanding, before I began to study her room. I had never been in here before.

"I like how you have the stars on your ceiling." I pointed it out before look to the walls that were painted a lovely light shade of blue.

They had posters of famous Celestial mages, and constellations. As well as one wall full of pictures of her friends from all the guilds. Her bed was tucked in the corner, in front of a window. It was white with dashes of different colors of blues, and a mountain of pillows.

"I enchanted them to follow the stars in the sky over magnolia. It makes my life a lot easier, and Jacque sometimes uses it to do horoscopes for his book." She told me as she stood up and began to clear up the Celestial lacrima.

"I didn't know Jacques sold a horoscope book." I said as I stood up. Yukino looked up at me, a small smile on her face.

"Yeah," She got to her feet, before following me to her door. "Goodnight, Sting."

"Good morning, you mean." I informed her, and she laughed.

"See you in the later morning, Sting." She closed the door gently, and I turned to the hallway. Rogue appeared out of the shadows.

"How's Yuki? Did she convince the Celestial King to let us go into his realm?" He questioned quietly, his red eyes on Yukino's door.

"Yukino's doing well, and she did. She also asked a few things about you." In the dim light of the hallway, I could see his face turn a light pink.

"What did she ask?" He inquired from the shadows that were beginning to wrap around him.

"Just a few things, I think you'd make a great couple. I even came up with a ship name. Rokino. And have you heard of shipping?" I paused for a breath. "Mirajane recently gave a speech to me about it. She also told me some very interesting things about Natsu and Lucy."

"Goodnight Sting." He said before vanishing into the shadows suddenly.

I looked at the spot where he stood before going back to my room. I stripped to my boxers, and laid into my bed again. In the morning we would leave for the Celestial realm.

ROKINO SHIPPING!!!!! It's what I live for!! Sorry I haven't been around, bit of writers block. Just a message before I leave again.

I do not own the characters, I'm just beginning to claim ownership of the plot.
