Hi, this is chapter one of my 1st fanfic, feel free to praise or criticize me though! xp

Chapter 1

Lucy stood tall before the king, "You don't understand, I have to go back, no matter what!"

"No, I'm sorry Old Friend, the answer is still no. That is final. No matter what you say I cannot allow you to return to the Earthland," the Celestial Spirit gazed down at Lucy, "You cannot change the course of time. You must understand…"

"NO! You can't force me to stay here." She sprang forwards. "I have to go back! They still need me."

"YOU WILL NOT RETURN EARTHLAND!" He yelled ferociously. Around them the Sea of Souls rippled, its autumnal shades changing as if it were according to the Spirit King's rage. His voice softened. "Lucy, even if I did let you, you don't have a gate. You're not a Celestial Spirit, I can't let you. Even my subjects cannot enter through different gates."

"But Virgo and Loke-!"

"That's different, they have privileges."

Hot tears welled up in her eyes. "You still don't get it do you?" She sobbed, "If I don't go down there, I'll never forgive myself."

"I'm really sorry," He shook his head, "But there is nothing I can do. Going back there will upset the balance of the universe."

She scoffed, angrily. "Yeah, right." Lucy rolled her eyes, "Get real."

The Celestial Spirit King gave her a half-hearted glare. "Go back to Caelios, Old Friend and forget this foolishness." He smiled gently, "Time will heal the wounds, and here, it is plentiful."

"YOU STUPID, IDIOTIC, JERK-FACED, DOUCHE-BAG! YOU'RE A –"

He waved his hands, "Back to Caelios you go!" Her body tingled as if a thousand spiders were scampering across her skin.

Lucy threw her hand out in attempting to grab something, the tears finally spilling down her face. "Don't -!"When the door slammed shut behind her, Lucy slouched down, thinking of a way to get back. Then she perked up a bit, what the spirit king said gave her an idea. Plue, her cutest silver key spirit, was about to get a visit... more accurately it was his gate getting the visit.

Lucy had a relatively good sense of direction, her relatively good sense of direction led her to a small silver gate that had a slight glow around it. At the top it had a picture of Plue in a silver frame that had an intricate pattern snaking up it. Lucy slowly pushed open the gate, a dazzling gold light blinded her, a strong but holy force tried to push her out the gate but she stood firmly, implanting her feet to the ground. Then she heard a noise.

"Puu! Puu! Puu!"

Oh no! he's found me, I'm dead! She thought, careful not to lose to that 'strong but holy' force turned around. " H-hey P-plue, l-l-l-long t-time no s-see, h-how are the o-others?"

He replied by going,"Puu!"

" I'm glad that you guys are doing okay. . . listen I have to tell you a secret and you can't tell anyone"

"Puu?"

" well how do I put this. . . Ireallyneedyourhelptogetback toearthland " she gasped for air an added 'cus thespiritkingwon'tletmebutIcan'ttellyouwhy." There, she said it!

Plue concentrated for a moment, which was quite rare since he wasn't one to be serious, before he turned into a large, shining white wolf that had a bright orange unicorn horn at the top of his head. "Plue, is that you?" Lucy asked.

"Puuuuuuuuuuuu, puu puuu!" said the white wolf thing in a gravelly voice. It seemed to say 'Yes, hop on!" then lucy blacked out.

When Lucy finally woke up she was greeted by a wet cheerful lick and then a bright, multi-coloured light.

"Old friend and Plue," Lucy's eyes widened, damn, they had found her and Plue so quickly! " nice to see you here…"

"Moustache man…" she said hesitantly, "I'm sorry for your trouble but you must let me stay."

The king of the Spirit World sighed, "Very well, I'll give you some of my soul plane power then. Soul Plane allows you to see a person's soul and do whatever they like with it, however since you aren't proficient with the art yet you can only: control someone's soul, break it, see if it's about to die and use it to identify what or who the souls belong to. To see the souls you must enter an alternate dimension, if the soul is red it belongs to a monster or yokai , a blue soul belongs to someone who is about to die, yellow for a mage, green for animals, pink for a non-magic person and multi-coloured for a spirit- celestial or not." He paused to take a breath. "To crush someone's soul you must simply slice your hand through it, to control it you only need to touch it. Unlike me, you cannot will the soul to come to you, you must go to it, and whilst you are moving in the alternate dimension you are also moving in this dimension." He then started chanting some unknown spell.

When he'd finished the first thing Lucy noticed was that everything was the same but different; the same because everything was still there and the same shape but different because all the colours were monotone, the only colours were two multi-coloured chi's- one belonging to the spirit king the other Plue 's. She ran her hand through her hair only to find it had grown longer, was now black and held up in pigtails.

The king laughed, "this is the alternate dimension I was talking about, it's called soul plane. As you can't be here forever, use this eye-patch and place it on your blue eye." He took out a black eye-patch and placed it on hand, patting it away.

"Blue eye? I don't have blue eyes- let alone one blue eye."

"You didn't have a blue," he corrected, "But you do now!" he whipped out a small gold compact-mirror that had all the signs of the golden spirits.

Her eyes widened, her used-to-be brown eyes were gone and replaced by one, on the right, gold-ish coloured eye and, on the left, another that was a startling blue, Lucy's blue eye looked like it was on fire, blue fire- literally. The mirror was magic of course so it disappeared when it sensed that its purpose for the moment had been fulfilled. Then, after getting over the shock, she calmly placed on the eye-patch. Suddenly everything went back to normal; she was no longer in the soul plane.

"What happened?"

"That blue eye is called The Soul Eye, as soon as you take off the eye-patch you'll be in soul plane. This is where I leave you; however you can only stay here for a year. Good bye." With that the king of the spirit world vanished.

"C'mon Plue, let's get to Fairy Tail!"

"PUU! Puuu!" and with that, they strolled off in the direction of Fairy Tail.

chapter 2 will be up soon!
