Pairing: Levy x Gajeel

Chapter 1: "Suicide"

Sirens wailed. Shocked gasps, cries of shock and hurt, along with the occasional sob chroused. How could this happen? To their own Levy McGarden! The police were trying to calm the crowd who just got told that the beloved bookworm scientist had committed suicide. Early that morning her next door neighbor, Mrs. Wilson, had reported that Levy had not come out in two days and she hadn't heard anything from the apartment. This was unusual since Levy was constantly moving books just so she could walk freely through the apartment. Mrs. Williston soon became worried which caused her to phone the police. That's when they found the body.

The body had the same blue hair as Levy but the face was hard to see through all the blood. The arms slit open in many places, the legs also cut in several areas. She was found in a bathtub, her prints had been burned off her hand, she must had slit open herself and bled out there. The burns of the fingers were self inflicted, probably from depression. Mrs. Wilson said she often saw Levy with burns or small cuts on her hands and arms. Levy claimed it was from her terrible cooking, though Mrs. Wilson always wondered about it. Many people scolded Mrs. Wilson for not helping the genius young girl.

Within a few days it was ruled a tragic suicide. The burden of her funeral was put in trust of the Fairy Tail Dragon Slayers, as stated in her will. This made two of the three Dragon Slayers suspicious.

"I can understand why she would have wanted you, you were her boyfriend, but why me and Wendy?" Natsu said suspiciously.

"I don't know, Levy isn't- wasn't the type to do something illogically. Maybe there is some reason," Gajeel wondered aloud.

"Maybe we should take a closer look at that police file of Levy's death!" Wendy suggested. The other two looked at one another, the idea wasn't a bad one. In fact, it was a great place to start their own investigation.

"I saw we go, we should do our own investigation. First with seeing the body," Gajeel explained. Wendy and Natsu both nodded, determined to find answers. Not only to why the other two Dragon Slayers were on the will to do the funeral, but also to find out why Levy would do something like this. She never seemed to be unhappy, which made this even more confusing.

They walked to the funeral parlor where Levy's body was being held. They walked in and the scent of dead bodies filled their nostrils. "Picking up Levy?" Natsu asked Gajeel who knew her sent best.

"Strangely no," Gajeel said still trying to pick up her scent but to no avial.

"Me either," Wendy commented. All of them very confused and only getting more confused by the second.

"Are you here to view the body of Mrs. McGarden?" the worker asked. He had long white hair, a hat, and a scar on his face.

"Yes please," Wendy said sweetly. The strange man brought him back and showed them her body. At first glance one might believe it was Levy, same blue hair and facial features, with her wrists cut into deeply. Upon further examination, mainly her smell, they found it wasn't Levy. "Levy McGarden please," Wendy said thinking he just brought them to the wrong body.

"This is her," the man said.

"No it's not, the body is someone else's," Gajeel said. He then stormed out and looked unto the busy street and cried, "Where's my shorty! Where is my Levy!" Natsu she Wendy soon came out after him, the quest for McGarden beginning.
