A/N: I am back, after like what 3 years without a solid story? I think about a year ago I uploaded the chapter of a story but I ended up revamping the OC and this is the story of said revamped OC. She's gotten a lot better and I originally never planned to upload her story but I got bored at work one day and starting writing it up and I liked it a lot. So this is another Laxus x OC fanfiction, however, its with a different OC than Silent Thunder, and in my personal opinion, one that works a lot better with Laxus. I'll still keep Silent Thunder up though for all of you who enjoyed it.

Family to Famiglia is going to be a relatively short fanfiction. Like the first chapter is not even 2,000 words. It's not meant to be a lengthy novel and I probably won't put much detail into the fight scenes and such. There isn't going to be long introductions of the characters because when this arc actually happens, my OC, Una, has known Laxus for ten years. But I do hope you enjoy it still! 33

Chapter 1: A Guild

Faded wood, cracked tables, the smell of beer and the familiar and welcoming sound of chatter. To the locals of Magnolia, these were the things that they associated to the Fairy Tail guild. Once a remnant of its former self, now the most powerful guild of Fiore, it wasn't what one expected to find when they thought of the guild, but it was what it was. And to the members, that old bar and faded wood was a home that they returned to over and over, ever since they were children with no place to call home. The same could be said of Una, a resident of the guild for ten years and one of the few who had stayed when the main group disappeared for seven years. Though at twenty-one, she was now older than those she once looked at as older siblings, they were still her family. She entered the guild without a word, the noise increasing in volume as soon as the doors opened. Some greeted her, others rushed pass with paper in their hands, but most didn't even realize she had entered.
Una was a small and quiet woman with light footsteps, who didn't make it known to everyone whenever she arrived like some people of the guild were so fond of. She avoided bumping others and peacefully made it to the counter where the much shorter guild master sat. Makarov nodded at Una's return and waited for her to sit before speaking.
"That didn't take you long." Makarov stated, taking a bag of Jewels from Una. Each time a mage finished a job, a good sum of the reward went straight to the guilds itself, allowing the guilds to function.
"You asked me to go hunting, is it supposed to take long?" Una asked with a smile and placed her finished quest sheet on the bar counter. A simple task of hunting down some rampaging magic boars was written on it. "My magic is good for this, so it was simple, though..."
"Though?" Makarov eyed Una, she was young, he knew that, but she was one of the sharpest mages he had known.
"I didn't think magic boars got as big as these ones were. I know they can be as large as cows and horses but these ones were almost the size of Elfman." Una said. "I wonder if they ate something..."
"If they were larger than average that could be the reason behind their rampaging." The feminine voice of Mirajane chimed in as the white haired mage walked closer to join in the conversation. She was one of the few people that Una knew, who could join a conversation she had nothing to do with so easily. "Regular boars are known to stampede but magic boars have a level of intelligence and won't unless provoked."
"But if something triggered a physical change, they could become agitated, thus causing a stampede." Una finished.
"Whether this was caused by nature or done on purpose, informing the Magic Council is necessary." Makarov said, causing Una to groan silently. "We need to make sure this problem is avoided in the future, so please write up a complete report for me to submit, Una."
"Got it..." Una said with a sigh. She always had a dislike for the Magic Council, mostly from what they had put the guild through so many times, but also just because she didn't like any of the members she had met. She moved away from the bar and went to her usual table. The ones she usually sat with were out on a mission at that time, leaving it empty. Placing her bag on the table, Una began her report.

"Rare to see you by yourself these days."
Una lifted her head up and looked up at Cana, standing beside her with a large liquor barrel under her arm. Una smiled and put her pen down after she finished the sentence she had start. Glancing at the clock above the guild's bar, she hadn't even realized over an hour had gone by. "The others are out on a mission and I've got to write up a report." Una said, scooting over slightly as Cana took a place beside her.
The taller mage wrapped her arm over Una's shoulder and grinned. "Aren't you lonely without them here?" She asked, a teasing tone in her voice.
"I don't think anyone can feel lonely in a guild like this." Una said carefully. She was not going to get caught up in Cana's pace.
"That's true." Cana said almost laughing. A couple of others glanced in their direction and Erza walked over, standing at the edge of the table. She had heard part of their conversation and finally decided to ask what was playing at the back of her mind.
"Did something happen on your mission?" The red haired mage asked. Una rarely went out on missions, Erza had only seen her gone on one once or twice before, but she had picked up the pace with the huge rush Fairy Tail had been receiving after the games. Despite the fact Una was now older, Erza still felt like watching her a bit, since she wasn't used to going out on missions so much.
"The condition of the boars needs to be investigated since it was probably something that caused them to rampage." Una said. "Master told me to write it up so the Council actually does something about it."
"I see, though it is a surprise that you didn't go with Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe for their mission." She said, continuing Cana's conversation.
Una's cheeks turned a slight shade of pink. "They went on an S-class mission and Master said I couldn't go with them."
"So you are missing them!" Cana laughed.
"I am not! I don't always have to be with them!" Una said, her face turning red, which just made Cana smirk.

Makarov watched the small group fondly. He enjoyed watching his children grow and Una was one who had grown a lot compared to others. Though not much in height, she was no longer an emotionless doll like she had been those ten years ago. "Ten years..." Makarov muttered to himself.
"What about ten years?" Mira asked, barely hearing him.
Makarov shook his head. "It just seems like ten years has passed rather quickly, that's all." he said.
"Well we weren't even aware that seven of them had passed." Mira reminded him.
Makarov let out another sigh and glanced around the guild. It was so empty compared to before but the ones who were there gave it a warmth that he had almost forgotten about. "Was it for better or for worse I wonder." He said aloud. "But the past cannot be rewritten, it all depends on how you look at it from the present that decides if regret should be had or not."
Mira smiled and looked at the guild fondly. "I think the present suits Fairy Tail just fine."

Una sighed as she finally managed to escape from the guild and Cana's teasing. She started down the cobblestone pathway of Magnolia, making her way towards Fairy Hills. Not many people were on the streets at this time of the day, the street lamps just starting to come on and dinner being served. She stared up at the sunset, the sky turning shades of pink and orange, but not a shade of red could be seen. "No delight, huh..." She muttered before shaking her head, thick, wavy, sandy-blonde locks brushed against her cheeks.
Una continued her walk to Fairy Hills without a word. She kept her head up and as she round a corner, she caught sight of a familiar blue haired girl. "Juvia!" Una called out in a greeting. Said mage stopped and turned around.
"Una." Juvia greeted Una with a friendly tone, waiting for the short mage to catch up.
"You're going home early." Una said, walking beside Juvia.
"Juvia has a mission with Gray-sama tomorrow!" Juvia said excitedly. "Juvia must prepare properly."
"Good for you." Una said with a smile.
"You are going home early as well." Juvia noted. "Usually you stay rather late."
"I had to write a report to the Council and I'm too tired to stay up late." Una said honestly. The large hill leading up to Fairy Hills was in sight and the two began to climb it with ease.
"Laxus-san wasn't there so you saw no reason to stay late." Juvia translated on her own.
"That's not it!" Una did quickly, her face turning bright red. "Why is where one assuming that?"
"You and Laxus-san have been very close since we came back from Tenrou Island." Juvia said. "And everyone says you two have a special relationship that goes back for ten years."
"I don't think how we were in the past has anything to do with the present." Una grumbled. "And we're just friends, nothing else."
Juvia entered the dorms and made her way towards the hall where their rooms were. "Una, you say that, but you are in love with Laxus-san, aren't you?" Juvia asked, opening the door to her room. Her eyes locked onto the shorter mage, the question was innocent, but stated like she knew it was the truth.
Una stared at the water mage with wide eyes, her ears turning a scarlet red. "I have no right to do that." Una said, rushing off towards her room and leaving Juvia a bit confused.

The next morning, the sun rise in a bloody red color, barely a cloud to obscure the skies. With it, came the Magic Council to the Fairy Tail guild. Makarov stared at the men clad in white pants and jackets, frowning as he disliked whenever they found a way to step foot into his guild.
"Based on the members you brought, you are not here about the report on the magic boars rampaging that I submitted yesterday, are you?" Makarov asked, eyeing Lahar. It was a question, but Makarov already knew this answer. They only brought numbers like this, when they were after something, or someone.
The mage nodded, his face was stiff as if this was a task he didn't want to do. "We are here under the order of the Magic Council, to arrest a mage named Una and bring her in for questioning." He stated.
"Master!" A high pitched voice shot through the silence that followed Lahar's words as Levy barged into the guild. "Una-chan disappeared! She left a note saying she was leaving the guild!"
Makarov stared at Levy before placing his head in his hand, sweat gathering on his forehead. What had that child done!?
