Fairy Tail... a stranger stood staring up at the guild sign. This is where Yuta told me to meet him, right? The hooded figure looked around. "Where are you?" Their voice was soft and gentle.
"Mizuki... you're late."
The figure turned to the voice of a tall man with white hair and fox ears and a fluffy white tail hanging down the back of his legs.
"Yuta... I'm glad you're here." The figure, Mizuki, smiled under her hooded cloak
"I am your familiar, Mizuki. I am bound to protect you at all costs. That's why I travelled ahead of you, to check the place." He bowed his head.
"Yes, you're right." She looked up at the sign again. "Why are we meeting here?" She asked him.
"Your friend from Edolas told me that this place accepts all sorts of magic. I found an Inari shrine close by it too and the goddess who owns it has granted you permission to reside there till we find something else." He explained.
"That was nice of her." Mizuki stated.
"You ready to go in?" He looked down at her.
She looked at his ears and tail. "Could you lose them for a bit. Don't wanna make a scene straight away do I?"
He nodded and performed a spell and his ears and tail disappeared. "Better?"
Mizuki grinned. "Perfect."
Yuta stepped up to the door and pushed it open with ease.
As soon as the door was open, Yuta's face was met by a thrown plate.
"Yuta! Are you alright?" Mizuki exclaimed.
Gray Fullbuster stopped at the sound of this voice, he looked over to see a stranger in a hooded cloak tending to a white haired man at the guild doorway.
Natsu Dragoneel took this opportunity to land a flaming punch in the raven-head's stomach. "Don't turn your eyes from the enemy, Ice Princess!" He laughed.
Lucy Heartfilia shook her head and looked in the direction Gray was staring. "Who are they?" She asked.
Natsu finally stopped fighting Gray to look.
Mizuki was laughing at a ranting Yuta by now.
"Calm down Yuta!" She had her grip locked on his arm.
"But this is barbaric! Your friend suggested here?! This is meant to be safe?" He looked down at her with his green fox eyes.
"It's definitely allot safer than where we came from Yuta."
Yuta stopped struggling in her grip. "I guess so, let's find the person who runs this place."
Mizuki nodded and looked around to see a few of the guild members staring at them. She cleared her throat. "Um... hi?" She waved slightly. "My companion and I wish to speak with the head of this place."
"The master is out for a few hours... what do you wish to speak to him about?" Erza Scarlet asked from the bar.
Gosh, she's so pretty! Mizuki looked up to Yuta.
He stepped forward a little so he was shielding her. "The master knows of our arrival. We wish to speak to him. Our reason is our own." He replied to her question. "May we wait here until he returns?"
Erza rose a brow and looked over to Mirajane Strassus at the other side of the bar.
"I don't see the problem. You two must have travelled quite a way, why don't I fix you both a drink and a snack?" She grinned.
Mizuki and Yuta bowed. "Thank you." They said in sync and walked over to the bar.
Natsu, Lucy and Gray watched as the two strangers sat down.
"That man is very handsome, isn't he?" Lucy commented.
Natsu snorted. "Sure I guess."
Lucy shot him a sly glance. "He's watching the other person like a hawk."
"I wonder who they are?" Gray said. "Did you see how the guy guarded the other?"
"The one in the hood definitely sounded like a girl." Lucy observed. "Maybe his girlfriend."
"What's with the cloak? They're inside now." Natsu was looking at Mizuki curiously.
"Here you are!" Mira came and placed two bowls of broth in front of the strangers along with soda.
"Thank you miss." Mizuki grinned and dug into her food. "Yummy!" She exclaimed after her first taste.
"I'm glad you like it uh..?" Mira pushed a little for a name.
"Oh! I'm Mizuki and this is Yuta." Mizuki introduced them. "Nice to meet you Mirajane-san." She knew this barmaid from Sorcerer weekly the top teen wizard magazine.
"Nice to meet you too!" She flashed a dazzling smile at the pair.
Yuta stayed quiet whilst he ate.
"So are you two dating or something?" Mira asked curiously.
Mizuki laughed a little. "Oh no no! He's just here to protect me." She said casually.
Mira frowned slightly. "From what may I ask?"
Mizuki shrugged. "Anything that wants to kill me I guess." She muttered.
Erza moved to sit next to Mizuki. "Well welcome to Fairy Tail. The master shouldn't be long now." She added.
Mizuki nodded and lifted the bowl to her lips and finished off the soup. "That was great thank you." She noted to Mira.
Yuta nodded. "Yes, thank you Mira-san."
Mizuki was getting uncomfortably hot with the hood up so she slowly lowered it.
The whole room was filled with gasps.
"Oh wow!" Lucy whispered at the sight of the girl who had just taken down her hood.
Mizuki had untamed shoulder length black hair with bright blue random tips and dazzling shocking blue eyes.
Gray's eyes never left the dark haired beauty, her cheeks were slightly pink with the attention. Gray's insides fluttered slightly.
"Hey, Ice Prick." Natsu smacked Gray's arm slightly to get attention.
Gray looked at him with a dazed expression. "Huh?"
Natsu glanced at Mizuki. "Who do you reckon she is?" He asked.
Gray shrugged. "I dunno, must know the master to demand a meeting with him." He turned his attention back to Mizuki.
"Well I'm gonna say hi. I think they feel a bit awkward." Lucy got up and went over to the strangers.
Natsu and Gray looked at each other for a moment and then followed the blonde.
"Hey, I'm Lucy!"
Mizuki looked up at the pretty blonde who was holding her hand out to her. She hesitated a little before slipping her hand into it. "Hey, I'm Mizuki!" She grinned widely.
Gray was staring at her for a while.
"I'm Natsu! Nice to meet you!" The salmon haired Salamander grinned at her.
She giggled at his enthusiasm. "Same to you, Natsu-kun."
She looked at the raven-head. "And you are?" She asked expectantly.
Gray blinked and cleared his throat. "Gray." He said in a small voice.
She smiled, then her eyes took in his chest and boxers.
Wait... boxers?
"Um... is this your fashion sense or are you walking around pretty much naked for the kicks?" She giggled slightly.
Gray looked down at himself before turning red. "Damn! When did that happen?" He went around looking for his clothes and came back fully clothed. "Sorry about that."
She just smiled. "No worries. By the way, this is Yuta. He's my best friend." She poked Yuta in the ribs to get his attention.
He looked to the new faces and nodded. "Nice to meet you." He muttered.
"What's the matter Yuta?" She sounded concerned, looking at him with slightly confused eyes.
He smiled and petted her head. "It's nothing. Just a bit tired, that's all."
She frowned a little but let the subject go. "Maybe you should go and take a nap at the shrine." She suggested.
He shook his head. "Not until we make our presence known to the master." He said.
"Nap at the shrine?" Natsu asked, looking curious.
Yuta nodded. "That's where we'll be staying till further notice."
"I'm home brats!" Came a booming voice from the entrance.
"Welcome back, master!" Mira said in a cheerful voice.
Mizuki and Yuta looked towards the doorway to see a small man walking in.
They stood up and went to him.
"Excuse me sir." Yuta bowed his head slightly.
"Yes? Who might you two be?" Master Makarof asked.
"I am Yuta and this is Mizuki. You've been informed of our arrival, aren't I correct?" He added.
The master nodded. "I was also told to ask for proof of identities too... so?" He looked expectantly.
Mizuki sighed. "Hiro!"She said.
A boy of about fourteen appeared beside her. "Mizuki-sama!" He bowed his head.
Mizuki took off the cloak to show that she was wearing a black crop top and black shorts with black knee high heeled boots. She had a strange tattoo on her stomach. "Come... Hirone!" She exclaimed.
Hiro glowed and transformed into a sword that was held tightly by Mizuki.
Yuta simply shook his head and his ears appeared along with his tail and he stood in front of Mizuki in a defensive stance, blue and purple flames coming from his hands.
"Proof enough?" Mizuki muttered, Hiro resting upon her shoulder.
