hihi I'm SakuraIchigoDark, thanks for reading my fanfiction :). I don't own fairy tail (if I did i wouldn't need to write fanfictions) also, warning, there will be OCs. why? because I can that's why.
Screams and bubblegum pink
"AAAAHHHHHH!" the scream was excruciating, especially to the dragon slayers ears. The harsh thud that occurred just milliseconds before went unnoticed over the fighting from the guild, but the scream made an eerie silence fall over the guild.
However what seemed to spike Natsu's interest was the moment of heat radiating from outside, which seemed to vanish at the sound of a slightly softer scream and a slight smell of singed wood came from the town square. There was no denying now that something was wrong. Before anyone could open their mouth to ask what the scream was, Natsu, Gray and Erza where ready for battle and charging out of the guild. Which in turn lead Lucy to follow Erza, Juvia to follow her Gray-sama, the dragon slayers to follow Natsu and the rest of the, sober, members of the guild to trail behind.
Natsu was the first to reach the seance. He had expected a fight, in which he could join in. but what he saw was something he didn't expect. A man clad in fancy cloth and armor was standing in front of the remains of two houses. Natsu was about to challenge the guy when he smelt the faint smell of blood and smoke from amidst the ruined houses. Two guard like men appeared beside the noble-man in front of Natsu and swiftly disappeared into the ruins, returning to their master dragging a kicking and screaming child by the small clump of hair that wasn't tucked under the poofy hat the kid was wearing. Natsu thought that such a fight was hardly fair, and what happened next only served to confirm Natsu's suspicion.
The child was presented before the noble-man, who looked upon the kid's face as if assessing it in disgust. With a "tut" from the man, the kid (somewhere between 10 and 16 Natsu reckoned as they where practically smothered in their cloak) was pinned down by the arms as a knife was raised high in the air threatening to end the poor thing's life.
Quicker that Erza's requip, Natsu was in between the two kicking the three men in the face. Causing the child to retreat to a safe distance to marvel at the all out war that was happening between Natsu and the man that had, just moments ago been clad in the finest of black cloth and armor.
Child's POV
'I wounder what a guild is like?' I woundered to myself. 'I've only heard rumors myself but I think the nicest one is fairy tail.' "Ah, sorry" I swiftly responded after bumping into someone while I was lost in thought. I was about to continue on my way when a hand gabbed my wrist. "A sorry wont cut it kid" a harsh voice responded. Surprised by the suddenness of these words I tried to rip my hand away but suddenly I was thrown against a house. "do you have any idea who I am" he hissed strutting over to me. I growled menacingly as I examined his clothes.
My eyes widened as I realized that they weren't clothes at all, but a flurry of sleek black cloth and brittle, silver armor.
I felt heat rise from my back as I think about how good it would feel to brake every piece of his petty armor and pound my fists into his head. "NO!" a voice in my head quickly murmured. I let the heat vanish as I plummeted through the walls of two houses, burning the splinters that found their way though my skin. I let a scream escape my lips, but I wasn't ashamed, I mean I wasn't fighting back and I had just flown through two freakn' houses.
I looked up to see two men marching towards me. They grabbed my hair that had fallen out of my hat and dragged me towards the poorly armored man from moments ago. My arms where pinned to the ground within seconds, I didn't want to hurt anyone this soon after arriving in magnolia, but I guess I have no choice. I was about to kick the guards, that were holding me down, away when suddenly a pink haired teenager was in front of me and had kicked all three men away. I swiftly retreated three steps back. I allowed myself to marvel at the boy as I held my knees to my chest.
"NATSU!" I heard a blond girl scream, taking up her whip and standing back to back with him.
"Are you alright?" I heard a small girl almost whisper to me. I managed a nod at the girl, who in turn let out a small sigh. Her eyes widened in shock as she took another look at me. "N...NO YOU'RE NOT" she halve scolded at me. She lent in closer to pull out the chunks of wood embedded in my back, but as soon as her delicate hands touched my back I yelped. Suddenly a boy with raven hair and no shirt was next to her chilling my back with, what I assumed was, ice magic. Close behind the man was a woman with shoulder-length blue hair that curled at the bottom, oh how beautiful it would be let out of such tight curls and cascading down her back. I snapped back to reality when I saw three attacks hurl itself towards her. "WATCH OUT!" I screamed as I leaped to push her away, but instead I fell right threw her as water soaked me to the bone. I felt her hands grab my waist as she pulled me away, from the floor, where the last few attacks where aiming to hit. The attack grazed my hat, and for a moment it was off of my head threatening to let my hair (that was neatly tucked underneath it) hang loose. I swiftly grabbed it and pulled it down to sit firmly on my head. I jumped back from the group of the who had just helped me. "I... I'M SORRY" I screamed, shyly at the raven haired stripper, woman of water and young girl before high tailing away from the fight.
"W...wait" the stuttering girl called after me, I ignored her and the droplets of blood that trailed behind me. I couldn't get distracted, I came here for a reason dammit. Dammit. "DAMMIT!" I threw my fist into the nearest wall, shattering the area around my hand. After a few moments the anger cleared my mind, I looked up to see a familiar building and the door I just punched. "I guess I should apologize for that" I sighed. I turned so my back was resting on the door so I could say sorry as soon as the person came home. I ignored the splinters still in my back, 'i'll get them out later.' I thought, convincingly, to myself.
Normal POV
"Man, those guys where weak" Natsu moaned, running his hand through his bubblegum pink hair, as he let Erza tie the last one up.
"Yeah, even Lucy could defeat them" Happy giggled, making Natsu burst out laughing in agreement, unaware that Lucy was right behind him.
"What did you say cat?" She growled menacingly through gritted teeth at the Happy, and Natsu. They gulped. God she was scary when she was mad.
"I..I mean that you didn't even have to call your spirits out" Happy stuttered, hoping that was enough to calm Lucy down. After a few agonizing seconds, that seemed to last forever, she seemed to calm down. "Thanks happy" she grinned signaling that both Natsu and Happy could let out the breath they had been holding for a while. "Hey Erza, wasn't there a mission that said to take a gang who looked like this..." Lucy gestated to the pile of men beside Erza, "...to jail?" Lucy asked the scarlet haired mage innocently.
"Now that I think about it..." Erza paused, shifting in her armor to find the job request she had found earlier. "YEAH!" she exclaimed happily. She slung the men over her shoulder before swiftly marching away from, her team mates, to hand the fiends in.
The guild members swiftly made their way back to the guild, until only Lucy, Natsu and a few stragglers remained. "Hey Luce. I got a mission, wanna come?" Natsu grinned. "No thanks Natsu, I'll go with you on your next one. 'kay?" Lucy replied, not wanted to upset the goofy fire mage. Natsu grinned back, obviously happy that she would be accompanying him on his next job. "I'm all fired up" He shouted, as he ran to his next job.
Lucy walked back to her apartment, pondering the day's events. 'I wounder where that kid went' she thought to herself.
"Umm... do you live here miss?" a small timid voice called out distracting Lucy from her thoughts. Realizing that she had arrived at her apartment Lucy nodded. The voice came from a vaguely familiar child, who was wearing a long black coat and a large hat that had a few pink strand falling out from underneath. "I..I'm really sorry" the voice snapped Lucy's attention to her door that had a large hole in the middle. "I..I r..really am sorry" the child whimpered.
"Why don't you come inside" Lucy asked sensing that the person in front of her was close to tears. Lucy was about to take out her keys when an idea popped into her head. She walked over to the door, stuck her hand through the hole and opened the door from the inside handle. "There now everyone in my team has broken into my house" she muttered with a giggle. Lucy kicked of her shoes as soon as she was in her living/bedroom, but before she could turn round to introduce herself. She saw that the kid had dissapered from behind her and was sitting in the middle of the room. Lucy saw that their was a pair of shoes neatly placed next to her's and a key in front of the child. Lucy decided to introduce herself "Hi, I'm..."
"Lucy?" The Child interrupted and pulled off their hat to revel long, bubblegum pink hair that cascaded down to the middle of their back (signaling that she was a girl in her early to mid teens.) "I've been looking for you" Lucy's eyes widened. Why was this girl looking for her? Was she an enemy? Lucy's hand traveled to her keys, but before she could grab one the girl was on her hands and knees, arms outstretched presenting the key that was in front of her. "I'M BEGGING YOU. PLEASE SAVE MY SISTER!" she begged. Lucy was shocked at the sudden outburst. She let her eyes trail down to where the key was, she had to suppress a million questions as it hit her what the girl had just asked her. "Now, now" Lucy sighed softly, as she crouched down to the girl. "Why don't you tell me..." she took another look at the key as she raised the girls head and pulled her into a hug. She was unsure how the girl would react but was happy that she seemed to relax in her arms. "Why don't you tell me your name and why your sister is a celestial spirit" Lucy whispered hoping that the girl would comply to her wish.
"H, Hai" she muttered nodding her head. She pulled back from Lucy's embrace slightly, looking right into her coca eyes. "I'll tell you everything"
CLIFF HANGER (kinda) I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'm really bad at spelling so please tell me if I made any mistakes.
