Chapter 1: A Fateful encounter (Gajeel POV)
Where did I meet her? Well, she was standing in the hills that overlooked Mongolia. At first I only saw the back of her, but even from behind you could see she was beautiful. Her long flowing brown hair blew slightly in the light wind as she looked down at Mongolia. Who is she, I couldn't help but wonder.
"Oi! You!" I cried out to her as I walked closer to her. The girl turned around and my breath was taken away by her beauty, I was very glad I hadn't been with anyone else.
The girl was pale white with long brown hair that framed her face perfectly, her big brown eyes sparkled as she looked at me, her thin lips now going into a smile before she spoke, "who? Me?" Her voice sounded like hundreds of twinkling bells.
"Y-yeah," I said cursing myself for stuttering, "what are you doing here?" For some reason she looked less opaque than a human should. Probably the light, I thought shaking it off. Ghosts weren't real, and even if they were, they wouldn't be THAT pretty.
"It's the best place to see Magnolia from," the girl said, now that I could see her face I could see her saddened expression. Her expression showed a deep wanting for something in Magnolia, but what?
"Why don't you go down there? I can take you," I offered. No I didn't do this often, but there was something about her. Maybe it was the fact she was "girl next door" pretty or they dang beautiful voice, but I wanted to spend MORE time with her. Most of the time I wanted to send LESS time with people.
"Oh I don't know," the girl said looking again longingly at Magnolia.
"I know you want to," I commented. It was obvious by the look on her face that she longed to go down. Why didn't she? Why did she just watch? Surely the only reason I wanted to spend time with this girl was because she was so mysterious, right?
"I do, fine, I'll go. I have one condition though," the girl said firmly. I waited to hear what said rule was. "We cannot go in the Fairy Tail guild," she commented firmly. I had to admit I was taken aback when I heard this. The fact she didn't want to go in our guild only added to the mysteriousness of her.
"Fine, though I hope you don't mind that I am a Fairy Tail wizard myself," I explained to her. The girl shook her head. "I have been rude, huh? My name is Gajeel, Gajeel Redfox. Former Phantom Lord member but now a loyal dragon slayer to Fairy Tail," I told her. The girl smiled that sweet little smile of hers.
"My name is Hikari, it means-" I cut her off.
"Radiance," I said, checking her out again. The name certainly suited her. Hikari nodded giggling slightly. That laugh would be the death of me! "So, Hikari," I said offering her my arm, "shall we?"
Hikari giggled- my knees felt weak- before saying, "We shall."
