Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or any of its characters. I do however own Chidori and her family. I don't own Finni and her family, but I have permission to use them, and I half own Keru and his crew. Read on to understand.
I think when this all started for me was the second week of the first semester my junior year at Magnolia High. I've lived in Magnolia my whole life and have known my two best friends from the time I was born: Keru Kazuki, a tall, handsome teen with emerald eyes and black hair, and Lucy Heartphilia, a petite, big-chested blonde with chocolate brown eyes. Keru's family owned many side-road restaurants that focused in on food, not money, even though they made a ton of it. Lucy's family worked more corporate, buying out businesses and buying stock.
My family, however, owned many law firms all over the country and that's what I was aiming to be; a lawyer. A dead serious, no jokes lawyer. My plans would've followed through, except…
"Attention class!" Everyone turned forward to face our home room teacher, Ms. Mirajane. For some reason, she would never tell anyone her last name, except for the headmaster, and insisted that we all call her Ms. Mira. She had long, silvery lavender hair and pale eyes. She was the nicest teacher I had ever had, but there were rumors of her being a demon. There was no way I could picture it though.
"Joining us today are three new students, so let's true to make them feel welcomed!" She beamed at all of us and no one could help but smile back. "The first one I'm going to introduce is a young man named Natsu Dragneel."
The door opened and in walked a guy about my height with pale brown eyes. He already had his uniform jacket off and slung over his shoulder. He wore a sleeveless white shirt instead. On his right bicep there was some type of red tattoo, though I couldn't make it out from my seat. The thing that really stood out about this guy thought was his hair. His cherry blossom pink hair spiked up in such a way that it should've been illegal. He had a cocky grin on his face as he looked around the class room.
"Next is Miss Finnikusu Katon."
"Finni!" I heard the irritated voice before I saw the person. She had long silver hair and, I stared for a moment before it actually registered, silver cat ears. She had semi dark green eyes and a smile similar to Natsu's. She had shortened the girls' uniform's black and silver plaid skirt from below the knees to mid-thigh. She had also opted out of the black blazer in favor of just the long sleeved white shirt and plaid tie. She also had a tattoo, which was dark green, but it was on the inside of her right leg, so I still couldn't tell what it was.
"Last, but certainly not least, is Miss Chidori Rosenkruez."
The first audible gasps of the day rang out when this girl walked in the room. She wore a pair of black, heeled, silver-buckled, knee high combat boots with black fishnets in place of the standard white knee highs and black leather shoes. She had her skirt even shorter than the cat girl's; it barely covered her butt. She wore the blazer but apparently had the edges embroidered with red roses. She had the brightest electric lime green eyes imaginable, but the real stand out factor, like the guy before her, was her hair, which was the same exact shade of green as her eyes. It also had black tips on the ends of her hair and also edged her bangs, which swept to the right. Her hair was also pulled in a ponytail to the right. She didn't seem cocky like her companions though. Something in her eyes seemed calculating.
"Now," Ms. Mira continued. "Natsu, sit in the seat to Lucy's, the blonde girl's, right."
The pink haired guy, pulling back on his jacket, strode to the seat which was, unfortunately, to my left. He looked me over once and scoffed as he sat down. I willed myself to keep my temper.
"Finni, sit between the two gentlemen with black hair." Mira gestured towards Keru and me. The cat girl walked over and, as her eyes glanced over Keru, I would swear her cheeks turned the faintest shade of pink before she settled herself down. I heard Keru muttering an introduction of who he was out of the corner of his mouth.
"Chidori, sit in the seat in front of the young man sitting between Natsu and Finni."
Her heels clacked as she strode toward me, a smirk played across her lips as her eyes met mine. I shivered, realizing off the bat that this wasn't a girl to mess with. She slid into the seat in front of me and I saw her tattoo. It was the same shade as her hair and lined in black. It looked like a person with wings and a tail running. It rested right at the base of her neck, where she shoulders connected.
Curiosity got the better of me. Undercover of the morning announcements, I leaned forward and tapped her on the shoulder. She swung her legs to the side and twisted to face me. "Yes?"
"Hi," I started, already knowing this was going to turn out awkwardly. "You're Chidori, right?"
"Yes." The suspicious look was back in her eyes. "And you would be?"
"Gray Fullbuster."
"Oh, you mean like those snob lawyers on TV?"
I stared at this girl. How could she say that so bluntly? "Uh, yeah." She smirked. "What I wanted to ask was what does that tattoo mean?"
She thoughtlessly ran a hand across the tattoo, obviously considering her answer. "Don't worry about it." She turned to face back forward, leaving me with a mind full of questions.
