font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""Oni-Chan! Oni-chan! Wake up! Oni-Chan! Oni-chan!" 18pt;"="""""" A soft sweet little girl voice rang into Gajeel's dream. Gajeel looked all around for the source of the voice in the pure black void he was in, but couldn't find it.
"Oni-chan! Come on! Oni-Chan! It's time to go! Oni-Chan! Oni-Chan!"
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""Oni-Chan!" A little blue haired girl snapped at her twin brother who was jumping on Gajeel's stomach trying to wake Gajeel up.
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""Wake up! Come on, wake up!" The blue haired boy told Gajeel. "Mom has breakfast made! Come on! It's time to go!"
font-family:="""""" georgia;"=""""""Gajeel open one of his eyes and looked at the kids as an arm draped over his face. He then groaned before responding and closing his eye. "Alright, I'll be right there."
font-family:="""""" georgia;"=""""""The kids giggled as they ran out of the room to tell Levy Gajeel was up. Gajeel got up and looked out the window with a solemn expression. He sighed as he looked back at the sheets and thought.
It's that day, huh?
font-family:="""""" georgia;"=""""""At a certain rowdy guild hall in Magnolia a while later, everyone was partying and drinking. Natsu ended up starting a fight again, getting almost the entire guild involved in it. Lucy watched as she drank her water with Levy, her kids, and Wendy by her side while Mira stood behind the bar and smiled at the group fighting. Juvia watched and supported her darling Grey from behind a pillar with hearts for eyes. The Exceeds sat at a table while eating their favorite food and Lily didn't touch his kiwi and kept looking over at a certain direction. In that direction, Gajeel sulked as he stared at the drink with iron in it. He wasn't feeling up to anything at all. Lily sighed as he looked at his sulking partner, who Lily thought had no reason to sulk. Gajeel had a family and great friends around him so Lily didn't understand why he was so upset. Happy and Carla noticed Gajeel's odd behavior and asked Lily. "What's wrong with Gajeel?"
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""I don't know." Lily shrugged disappointed. "He's been like this all morning."
font-family:="""""" georgia;"=""""""Juvia noticed the Exceeds talking about Gajeel's mood since she was pretty close to their table and spoke up as she walked over we to them. "Today, Gajeel lost someone special to him." Juvia replied sadly as the Exceeds looked at her. "Juvia doesn't know exactly who this person was to Gajeel, but Juvia knows they were very, very close to each other."
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""Really?" Lily asked as he looked back over at Gajeel.
font-family:="""""" georgia;"=""""""Suddenly Gajeel growled as he stood up and walked out of the guild hall. Levy watched worriedly along with the kids as Gajeel shut the doors behind him. Juvia watched sadly before looking at the ground. Grey looked at Juvia with a confused expression. He couldn't understand why she was so sad. He never saw her so sad and he never saw her not fangirling over him. He frowned feeling her unusual vibe before wondering what had gotten into Gajeel.
font-family:="""""" georgia;"=""""""Gajeel walked through the town with a big scowl on his face as he stopped by the house real quick. He grabbed a small black box and walked out of the house and straight to the forest. He stopped at a grave that was underneath a willow tree in front of a waterfall that was in rocks that nearly surrounded the entire area like a reinforced wall to protect this place with the gave. At the bottom of the water fall was a small pool of water with a few fish jumping out of it. The grass was extra green and moist. Gajeel knelt at the grave that read...

font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""Oni-chan!" Little Jasminecalled as she looked in the cave Gajeel and her called home. She wore an red dress with her beautiful midnighthair going to her shoulders. Her bright innocent blueorbs looking for Gajeel. When she didn't see him, she walked away and yelled. "Oni-chan!"
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""Ugh! What, Jasmine?!" Gajeel yelled from in a tree annoyed.
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""Come on! I'm hungry!" Jasminecomplained loudly.
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""When are you not hungry?!" Gajeel asked her loudly with more annoyance in his voice.
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""Oni-chan!" Jasminepouted, becoming annoyed with Gajeel.
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""Why do you call me that?! We aren't actually siblings!" Gajeel told her harshly.
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""But we have the same father, Metalicana! Of course we're siblings!"
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""Yeah, Yeah..." Gajeel sighed as he looked at the sky knowingJasmine was right but not able to admit it. He was fine having Jasmineas a sister however he didn't quite know how to handle her loud and adventurous, along with stubborn, personality.
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""Hey, Oni-Chan?" Jasmine asked softer.
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""Hm?" Gajeel looked back down at her.
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""Can... can I come up there with you?" Jasmine asked Gajeel a bit nervous.
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""Why?"
font-family:="""""" georgia;"="""""""Because... I don't want to be alone." Jasmine admitted sadly.
font-family:="""""" georgia;"=""""""He smiled at Jasmine and stated. "Then I guess I'll have to come to ya to keep ya company." Jasminelooked up at him to see him jump off and land next to her. "Come on, Jasmine. Let's go eat."

font-family:="""""" georgia;"=""""""Tears escaped Gajeel's eyes as he fell to his knees in front of her grave. He pulled out the black box and held it in his hands for a moment while staring at it. He sighed and shook his head as he stated softly with his shaky voice. "I'm not the best brother anyone could ask for... but," he opened the black box to reveal a locket
made of iron with a picture of him and a picture of young Jasmine as a child inside it, "at least I don't forget your birthday right?" He set it on the grave stone. He stared at the grave stone and stated after a while of silence. "For as long as
I've known and traveled with you... I've never once called you my Imouto
