Redsnidget: I have finally got a permission from a author who wrote this fanfiction "The Celestial Zodiac of Tiger", I'm sure some of you might know about it from Sleepywolf99. I really waiting and waiting for her to write more and think the author probably stop writing so I've decided to take the step up and ask her if I could write it. I got A-OKAY from that Author and decide to lets Sleepywolf99's first story post out with bit modified of my own into it. The next one would be fully be mine and now for now on.

Hope you would enjoy this story as I do. This First Chapter credits all goes to Sleepywolf99 and Fairy Tail Belong to Hiro Mashima's.

You know, I always thought I'm not going to die or anything this soon, since I always thinking I'm going to live up till I died of old age. Well I was wrong..oh? You do want to know how I died? Lets me tell you how I died; I died by save one of my little cousin...whom is a stupid yet adorable little cousin who won't listen to his oldest cousin who keep yelling at him for stay out of a damn road where there is a possible chance of get a car pop out from nowhere.

You see, I was baby-sit my little cousin for my cousin, whom have a hot date with her husband and I've nothing to do so I agreed to watch over my little cousin, Andy, since its their anniversary. Andy, such a cute little fellow who might grow up to become a handsome guy and I probably would have to chase away some girls away from him till he is bit older...maybe around eighteen. No, I'm not some sort of overprotective cousin who have a BBQ rifle to chase the fangirls away like a trigger-happy person I would be...okay, okay. Maybe I am...a bit. Not that much...really.

MOVE ON!

Andy asked me to play with him by playing catch the ball that was a size of a beach ball and I agreed and went outside with him for some nice sunshine and fresh air before we get inside for dinner time. WE keep tossing each other the blue ball back and forth, sometime I've to laugh watching Andy have to chase after it or have a bad aim to toss it over to me, either way, he's adorable in his three years old form.

But...

That day come to a end where Andy accidentally kicked his blue ball into the middle of the street, tell me that he would go and get it as he run after it without my permission as I shout at him to come back as I start to chase after him. At that time I was trying to get my little cousin out of the road, I heard a loud car noise that sounds like it was speeding too fast over the speed limits as I glanced up to saw a red Alfa Romeo Type of a car zooming down the road, where my little cousin is at.

I start to run after him, knew the car won't stop as I hear the car tried to stop its speed as I heard the screeching sound. Andy finally looked up and freeze like a deer in highlights with a wide yet fear looks in his brown eyes. I start to jump like a baseball player would do when they tried to slide down for a home run base and shove my little cousin out of the way, out of the car way and into the safe zone on the other side with a minor scratches.

Unfortunately for myself, I took it pretty hard, full body crashed against the front, flew across the car and laid onto the hard road, nothing came to my mind as I saw the white flash in my eyes before darkness consume the white over, swallow me into the darkness.

So, yeah, there's your story of how I died...Eh? Now you're asking me how in the world do I remember my whole death and shit like that? Easy, I'm somewhat or somehow become a Celestial Spirit..Yes, you hear me. I'm a Celestial Spirit like Leo the Lion, Aquarius the Water Barer from the Fairy Tail that you loves to watch or read the manga book, Even I do know what Fairy Tail is all about. Good book thought.

Now, don't ask me how in the world did I become one, because I've no idea how in the world I managed to do that because that time when I was killed by that stupid driver with a speed addict, I hope he got arrested for it! Anyway...Um, I did woke up in the Celestial world in front of the Celestial Spirit King or Mustache dude that Lucy called him. But man he was pretty frickin' HUGE...HUGE like a giant tower from New York from September 9/11, around that height like that. I was pretty much freaked out of where I am and wonder why I am doing in the Celestial World and not in Heaven.

Flashback

"W-whoa! W-why am I doing here?! This is dream right?" I freaked out, eye widen at the giant man with huge mustache stares down at me with arms folds as his voice booming aloud.

"My old friend, I've witness what you've done for your little cousin, and I've decided that you would become a great member of the Celestial Spirits of Zodiac.."

"Zodiac...But why...? I thought they have been filled up so why do you add more Zodiac?" I asked with dumbfound on my face, clueless of what he was trying to say as I remember all Celestial Zodiac has been filled. The Celestial Spirit King grins down at me as he start to chuckles as he point at the mirror that appear out from nowhere, his voice booming once again.

"My old friend, you are a part of the Zodiac I've chosen for you. Truly you might have read all about us and you are correct about Zodiac are filled up, but I was speaking of the other different Zodiac...The Yang Zodiac. You are the Celestial Spirit of the Tiger."

As I listen to him, announcement my new title as I stares down at the mirror to see a long snow white hair down over her shoulder that was bit wavy on the bottom. Her bright blue that could match the sky color with a cat-like slit over in the middle of her orbs stares back at me as I notice she has a white cat ears with black tips on top of her round ear on her snow white hair with two gold earring ring pierced on left ears and one on other ear.

She wore a white vest with zippers and a black skirt with tiger head and more zippers over it, beneath that, she wore a pair of white caprice that come over her knee and stop before it reach down to her feet. At her feet she wore is a black flip-flop. She wears a black fingerless gloves with white collars on each one, she also wore a black collar around her neck with a giant silver bell in the middle. Her face held a three red tiger stripes on each cheeks.

I gasped softly cause the other person to gasp back at me in the similar way cause me to notice that she was ME, I was the Tiger. I furrow my eyebrow in confuse as I looked up at the King who stood there, await for me to collect my mind. My mind was in chaos already at this moments as I tried to find out why I was here, and why I was the Celestial Spirits.

It start to impact me badly...

I was dead...died to protected my little cousin, Andy from become a road-kill...

END OF FLASHBACK

So~ There you have it. I died and become a Celestial Spirit Zodiac of the Yang. You know the Chiense Zodiac with the Rat, Ox, Tiger—Blah blah blah, That's the one I've become since I've never met anyone else beside myself and the Spirit King whom I see once in a while. He told me that I've not connect with anyone else because of my Key situation. My Black Key with my Tiger mark on it has not been connect with other spirits whom working for their Celestial Mage who have their keys.

If I've been in contact with my own Celestial Mage, I should be able to see other Celestial Spirits that my Mage had with him or her in adventure to help him or her out. And that's sorta fine with me since I'm practice hard to control my own crazy strength that I've discovered one day by broke a wall in my room during my sleep..Yes, I've broke a one wall cause it shattered into a derby pieces and I've to go and ask the Spirit King to offer me some kind of wall for me to replace it and repair it back up into a proper shape.

Heh, no wonder everyone else say a Tiger could have a Super strength due to their raw power so I've to be careful and used it to my advantage and practice kung fu, Anything goes type like Ranma ½ book I've read before. It help me get into a tip-toe shape so that way I could prepare myself for a good or long fight ahead just in case. I don't think I have any kind of magic on me to help support myself but according to the Spirit King told me I do have a ability to do so but~

That bastard just tell me to discover it for myself...

Slowly as the time goes by without no time to tells but somewhat my sense has told me that it was a long time since the area I'm living in is filled with many stars with pattern cut off I assume was a way to connect with other Celestial Spirits when its come to group up with them with one Mage. I have no idea how long or what day it is as I keeping training out of boredom, sometime on my break I get to watch my own little TV that would show me the reality world to see where I am or what will happen to me. Its more like a window for me to peek out of what going on outside of my Gate Key.

So far...nothing happens.

My name is Tora, a Celestial Spirit Zodiac of the Tiger...This is my story...my life for now on...
