-Hikari-

"And with this last dark guild defeated my mission is completed!"-I yelled happily throwing my fist in the air. I looked again to the dark guild members who where looking at me scared. It hadn't been long since I first entered through this dark guild's front door, but from that moment onwards I knew that I despised them. It wasn't any longer a matter of accomplishing a job given by the magic council but yes a personal matter. A guild that didn't treasure their comrades simply shouldn't exist, and it sure wouldn't be under my watch that some measly pieces of humans would mistreat their comrades. So I did what any person, at least from Fairy Tail, would do. I thought them a lesson.

"Who are you monster?!There's no way you could defeat my whole guild just by yourself without being some kind of monster!"-the old dark guild master yelled at me making me glance at him once gain. He took a few steps back scared from the dark aura that was surrounding my body. Isn't he all bark no bite? I wouldn't personally admiti t, but to be honest I was quite surprised to see that after all the beating that he took, he still dared to talk back at me. Guess guild masters always have that special power in themselves, refusing to give up. But that, that is something that he should keep to himself. There was no way that she, Angelis Hikari, a proud mage of Fairy Tail, would be defeated by a bunch of dark mages.

"Who do you think you are calling monster!?"-I walked in his direction and the other members gasped in fear. Jeez am I that scary to them?!-"you know, you never should doubt about a Fairy Tail mage."-I pointed to my lavender guild mark that was in the middle of my right thigh.

"Fairy Tail?! The strongest guild in Fiore!"-one of them said and I smirked proudly. Natsu and the rest of the guild sure did a good job bringing back our guild's title.

"Exactly, but you see, I'm not in home for a long time and I do really want to go back there so, I will just teleport us to the magic council, they will know what to do with you."-and with that said I teleported all of us,using a teleporting lacrima, to the magic council where Lahar was waiting for me. Talk about expecting someone.

"Good to see you again Hikari, I thought that I wouldn't see you this soon."-the black tied hair man said to me and I giggled. Humm yeah, forget what I said before, he really does apparent to look down on me.

"Doubting my capacities Lahar?!"-I asked and he smiled.-"I guess you know what to do with these guys?!"-I pointed to the dark guild members beside me and he nodded. Even though Lahar was someone of not many words, unless it came to something serious specially if it involved criminals, after working together for a bit over 3 years, he had finally open up quite a bit to myself, I was now able to announce that I could maintain a stable conversation with him for more than 10 minutes. If you do not consider that an accomplishement, I sure as hell don't know what to call it.

"Yeah don't you worry,we will put them in jail where they can't use their magic, just like the other dark guilds that you defeated."-just in the moment he finished speaking a group of rune knights came to arrest them.-"here Hikari, your reward."-the man in front of me handed me various bags full with jewels. I turned around and started walking in the opposite direction, trying to find the exit.-"oh and Hikari!"-I turned around looking at him.

"Yeah?!"-he smiled at me, what in a certain way scared me, Lahar was known for his strict attitude and then here he was, smiling at me for what I think second time in less than a day.

"I never doubted about your capacities with your magic!"-I giggled before he start speaking again.-"you should go back to your guild, I'm sure Fairy Tail misses you!"-I nodded and started walking in the same direction I was before.-"I think it's been long enough since the last time they saw you. Maybe you should hurry back home."

"I don't need to tell me that Lahar, I know that they do, I will catch a train to there, since I'm tired of using so much magic this past years. I need to rest."-and with that I left the magic council.

Lahar stared at the younger girl, whose silver hair was now moving accordingly to the sudden breeze. Once again he wasn't able to ask her just why did she accept such mission. Hikari could've just refused to do such, after all you didn't have to be a genious to see how close she was with the rest of her nakama. In his eyes it just didn't make sense, and he could bet all his money that there had to be an hidden reason to why she accepted being away from her guild from such a long period. 3 years weren't something that you could take lightly into consideration. Much had happened during this time, and Lahar was only worried that the girl had been so focused on her work that she had lost sense of what was happening around her and the constant changes that seemed to become bigger each day. He could only hope that Hikari wouldn't suffer from a too shocking change in her life, then again it had nothing to do with him.

The moment I put my feet out of there I looked to the sky, Fairy tail, I thought smiling. It had been so long since I last stepped out of the guild hall. I could only imgine how everything had changed, how was everyone, how's specially Mirajane? I thought again of my bestfriend. Mira…She had suffered so much during these years, losing Lisanna, then getting her back…getting Lisanna back… Now that I finally had some time to think about it over, it did sound weird, wasn't Lisanna dead? How did she, how did she just get back to life? I shook my head, shoving off this kind of thoughts. It wouldn't be any good to just focus in negative things, she was back after all, everyone was happy so the only thing I should do was to be happy along with them. After all, after all these years, every member of Fairy Tail would finally be able to get together.

I walked for some time,time which I thought would be enough to arrive to the train station, but to my surprise it wasn't and as the walk became longer and longer than expected, the lack of company that I so much despised became more than obvious. I can't really remember since when I started to hate being alone, as the time goes by, I can only recall that as long as I first became a part of Fairy Tail, I always hated being alone. Still I always tried to keep it to myself, making myself look weak in front of my nakama, even though deep down I knew that they wouldn't think any less of me was just out of question. Guess my pride was still too high. I stared at the black ring on my left índex finger, which was ornamented with an image of three dog heads in silver, questioning myself if wasting some magic power in a time where I could feel my own self running out of energy after using so much magical power in the last few years worth it, if it meant not being alone. Well, guess I will just spend more time sleeping than expected on the first night at home. Throwing the ring in the air, I smirked, seconds before catching it mid-air, reciting some words.

"Guardian of the gates of the underworld

You who prevents the dead from leaving

And punishes those who dare to enter your world

Without your consentment

I summon you, Cerberus!"

Just as his name was ecchoed, a silver and black flash surged, appearing out of it a black dog with three heads, which one having a silver leash and a broken metal chain attached to it, his deadly stare being fully capable of scaring the hell out of anyone by a simple glance. But as Cerberus finally spotted me, his previous mortifying stare, quickly changed into a sweet and caring one, and his tail quickly started to move from one side to another at the same rythim of his jumps which happened to be due to his state of pure happiness.

"Hello baby, did you miss me?"-I asked stroking the three of his heads, one at time, only to be licked by each one of them at the same time.-"I will take that as a yes!"-I added still giggling and he barked confirming my suspecions. Cerberus lowered all of his heads so I could climb on his back, and mentally I thanked him. Even standing up was becoming quite hard by itself. Worse than magical power was my physical condition, I sighed not wanting to think about it.

"Next time see if you don't push yourself too hard! You're taking your body until the final limits, don't you know what can happen to you in the future if you don't stop doing so my lady?" – I heard Cerberus' thoughts scoulding me to which I rolled my eyes. Cerberus always worried way too much about my health, and this wasn't an exageration. To him, me having a measly scratch meant that I could die. Yeah, maybe sometimes he was right, and yes today it was one of those times, but scoulding me after what has been done is done won't help at all.

"Yes dad, I will be more careful next tiiiimmeee!"- I pated his heads and this time it was him who rolled his eyes. Three pairs of eyes, imagine just how much he was done with me and my futille and white lies.-" Let's go now Cerberus! We still have a long way to go, let's go back to Fairy tail!"

-Lucy-

I took another bite of Mira's strawberry cake, I was finally understanding why Erza loved so much this cake, it tasted like heaven. Still, why she would make such a big deal everytime the cake sold out or whenever anyone ate it without her consentment was something that even my writer's mind couldn't put any sense to it.

"Hey Lucy!"-I looked at the White haired girl and she smiled gently at me. Mirajane was just a gleam of happiness, no matter how sad you were, just by staying next to her for some mere minutes, her contagious happiness would catch you somehow.

"yeah Mira?"-I asked stopping eating my cake slice.

"Did you notice how everyone is so happy today?"-I looked around the guild nodding. Today more than anyday, everyone in the guild looked surprisingly happy. Not that they wouldn't usually be the epitome of happy, this was Fairy Tail after all. Any small reason, no matter how small,was enough to immediately plan a party and consequently start drinking like there's no tomorrow. Even myself got caught up sometimes in the middle of their drinking contests and tried to beat Cana's record. Needless to say that I wasn't even near to be considered a threat to her actual record.

"Why's that? You know?"-she giggled nodding, and this was enough to make me realise that there was something big behind this behaviour.

"Yeah, we just received the new that Hikari is coming back!"-she said clapping her hand making me narrow my eyebrows,confused.

"Sorry Mira, but who is Hikari?"-I asked now interested. I don't know why but that name sounded strangely familiar but somehow I couldn't remember from where. Because I had joined Fairy Tail later on, I knew that there would be things I wouldn't know for some time, one of which was all the members. Similar to what happened when I first got to know Gildarts, without any previous notice, I didn't know or expect at all that my guild would have such a powerful mage, then again the same thing happened with Mystogan. But after spending so much time at the guild, I expected to at least know all of my nakama so, finding out now that Fairy Tail had yet another mage that I never even heard about, made me wonder about how much I really know about the guild.

"Oh I forgot that you don't know Hikari."-Mira said putting a finger in her chin pretending to be thinking.-"Hikari is one of the strongest mages in Fairy tail! She broke the record of the youngest one to become a S-class mage in fairy tail and I do believe so that also in all of the other guilds."-my eyes widened hearing this. Another S-Class mage in fairy tail? Just how powerful was actually this guild? Mirajane, Erza, Laxus, Gildarts, formerly Mystogan and now to her knowledge Hikari, all of them S-Class mages, together with four dragon slayers, one who is too a S-Class mage. This guild sure was surprising in more than a way.

"how old was she?When she became a S-Class mage it is."-I don't know why but I felt that I was going to be really surprised with her answer.

"if I'm not wrong she was ten, yeah I'm right she was ten since now she is one year older than you and a year younger than me and Erza. She did have a hard time getting this title. Fighting Laxus in order to become one took all of her magic power. Sure this was years ago so now I'm not so sure who between them would win in a fight."-Once again my eyes widened, after all the events I had faced, watching both Mira and Erza fight, I never thought that there could be any other female mage in Fairy Tail that could be considered as a rival when questioning magic power.

"ten?!How strong is she?!"-Mira giggled and continued cleaning the cups that she was now, busy collecting all of them.

"She is really strong, I'm sure she can beat me and Erza without even trying. I'm not saying this to scare you Lucy, it never was my intention. It's just that, Hikari really is a lot powerful. I don't really know how strong she actually is, to be honest I don't know if anyone apart from master know. Maybe Laxus at max but in my opinion not even him should know about it."-I laughed nervously, I don't even want to try to compare myself to her. At least in the matter of magic, I totally have nothing to go against her.

"What type of magic she uses?"-I asked curious and one more time she put one finger in her chin thinking. It really wasn't a difficult question so the fact that Mira actually took some time thinking about it, made me wonder if this girl was even more special than I innicialy thought.

"I'm not really sure about it!"-she said and I looked at her confused. How didn't she know what type of magic Hikari uses? She seemed to understand what I was trying to say as she smiled.-"She uses more than one type of magic. To be honest with you I quite don't understand it too. Her magic resembles yours, celestial magic but later on it differs a bit as her magic summons other types of spirits. At least this is what I was able to understand after all this years."-Mira said proudly.

"she is also a celestial mage?!"-I asked quickly getting up and Mira nodded smiling.-"maybe I can train with her one day!"

" I think that she would love to train with you! Because Hikari has so such a different type of magic she loves to help others training, fighting their weaknesses!"-she exclaimed happily stopping cleaning one dish and looked at me.-"Besides that I'm sure that you have heard about her family, Angelis."-I nodded knowing who they were. The Angelis family was the richest family in all Fiore, even richer than mine, until one day that they died in an accident, I'm guessing now that they were Hikari's parents, all of their fortune passed to their a second, Hikari Angelis...My eyes widened when I finally remembered why her name was so familiar to me. She appears in almost every new volume of Sorcerer Weekly Magazine, either in photos, in the top of prettiest female mages or top of potentially girlfriend.-"Master and Laxus found her when she was eight while she was fighting some dark mages. From what master told us, she had been fighting them for around four days until she couldn't keep up with him anymore. No one can blame her, she was just a child at the time and five against a kid really isn't fair. Laxus defeated all of them while Master tried to understand just why a single child was alone, fighting all of those dark mages. They brought her to the guild so she could heal safely and in the end, she decided to stay with us. Though in the firsts weeks that she was at the guild she didn't talk with anyone, the moment she became friend with some of us she became really opened with our guild. Since then she defended the guild like she had spend here all her life.I really miss her, I still can't believe that I don't see her in more than three years."-Mira sighed sadly and I gasped in surprise.

"more than three years?! She is gone for more time than Gildarts!?"-I asked and she nodded.-"Did…Did she go on a S-Class mission? Wait wait no, a SS-Class one? Maybe …Maybe ten year quest or a one hundred year quest?"-I asked, stuttering, not able to pronounce any of the words I wanted to say correctly.

"Yeah she is gone for longer than him. Hum hum.."-Mira started, shooking her head.-" When Gildarts came, we told you that he had accepted a one hundred years quest and still failed, but Hikari hasn't gone in any mission, at least no tone provided to any guild. She's been working with the magic council this past years defeating dark guilds. They personally asked for her help, and even though she could have refused, she still accepted. And puf, in the next day, without goodbyes she was gone."- My eyes widened at Hikari's secretismo,without even biding goodbye to her nakama, she simply disappeared? Just how dangerous was this mission? I was about to respond when I heard someone talk.

"I see you two are talking about Hikari!"-I nodded and looked at Erza who just now started to eat her strawberry cake. Well, talk about something expected.

"I was telling Lucy who Hikari is."-Mira smiled innocently and Erza nodded.-"She's beyong intrigued with her, no that I blame her. Who wouldn't be?"-She retorically asked, giggling sweetly. From my perspetive, Mira truly loved Hikari.

"Hikari is Mira's best friend, though their friendship didn't start in the best way."-Erza said smiling and Mira giggled nervously, remebering her dark past. Now things could seem funny, but she was sure that at the time it sure wasn't for anyone.

*Flashback*

Mira's point of view.

I looked across the guild stopping at the table where Hikari was sit. How in the world does that brat even dare to ignore me. I putted my feet up in the table groaning angered.

"Mira-nee you shouldn't be so mad over Hikari!"-Lisanna said and I glanced at her.

"Shut up Lisanna! That brat! How does she even dare to just ignore me and don't even talk with me?!"-I shouted playing with my bracelet.

"But Mira-nee you don't even..."-Elfman started and I glanced at him making him shiver in fear. I got up and started walking across the guild directed to her table. Macao and Wakaba looked at me scared. I jumped up to her table and I got down the enough to look her in the eyes.

"Hikari!"-I said smirking.

"Mirajane!"-she smirked back at me.

"You really are all full of yourself aren't you, your little brat?!"-I asked looking at her and she chuckled.

"Ohh so that's what you think han? But..what happens if I say no?!"-she retorqued and I squeezed my fists. This girlie is getting on my nerves really quickly.

"well...I'm gonna love the pleasure of hurting you!"-e e started chucking while getting up and putting ourselves in position to fight.

"Die Mirajane!"-Hikari yelled pushing me back.

"I'm gonna kill you!"-I yelled back also pushing her back.

"if Mira and Hikari are fighting I'm gonna join them too!"-we heard Natsu scream.-"Hikari! Mirajane! I'll defeat you both one day!"-he started yelling running in our direction.

"This is none of your business Natsu!"-we both yelled punching him making him fly across the guild.

"What?!The flame brain is fighting Mira and Hikari! That way I'm going too!"-Gray also ran in our direction and like Natsu we punched him also making him fly across the guild.

"Your bony bastard!"-I called Hikari.

"Your skinny bastard!-She called me back.

"You two! Mirajane! Hikari! Stop it now!"-Erza yelled walking in our direction. We stared at her making her swallow in fear.

"Erza! Your prickly bastard! Stop putting your nose in other people's business!"-I screamed lifting my fist.

"Can't you see that I'm in the middle of a fight?! Stop interrupting me Erza!"-Hikari also lifted her fist and when we punched Erza at the same time she also was send flying across the guild. We stated at the place where all of those three were lying on the ground and we started laughing.

"You know how to give some good punches!"-I complimented her and she smiled at me.

"You also have a good arm Mira!"-Hikari complimented me making me smile.

"What you say about starting all over again between us too?"-I asked handing her my hand and she caught it.

"I would love too Mira-chan!"-Hikari answered smiling genuinely.

*Flashback off*

"I still can't believe she is already coming, her mission should dure at least six year."-Erza said taking a bite of her cake.

"Si..six years?!So long? I mean those dark guilds that she needed to defeat weren't the strongest ones,right?"-Mira and Erza both shook their heads.

"The council asked for her help because no other guild could defeat them. Hikari is equally strong as Gildarts or even more, though no one beside master knows what she really can do using her full magic."-Erza said and smiled. I could see that even Hikari being stronger than her she was proud of her friend.

"And now she is coming back and she probably is arriving by..."-Mira was interrupted by Natsu yelling.

"It's Hikari! She arrived!"-he yelled in the exact moment the bells began to play and all Magnolia began to move creating a direct path to Fairy tails guild. I smiled remembering the same exact thing happened when Gildarts returned Fairy tail.

"Now!"-Mira finished her sentence giggling.

Master in less than five seconds joined us and grabbed a beer that Mira handed him. I went next to Erza that was already next to the rest of Team Natsu.

"Hey Happy, are you excited about Hikari coming back?"-Natsu asked Happy, who was flying over his head.

"Aye sir!"-Happy almost yelled making me laugh.

"Stupid male cat!"-Charle said making Wendy and me giggle.

"Oi flame brain! See if this time you don't peak a fight with me in front of Hikari or she will probably kill us both!"-Gray said to Natsu who turned around to face him.

"What did you call me ice princess?!"-Natsu hissed between his teeth.

"Are you two fighting?!"-Erza asked with anger in her voice and they shivered in fear.

"We? Do you think that?! We are best friends!"-they said in unison putting an arm in each others shoulders. Erza shook her head shoving her thoughts way and then we all heard it. The sound of the front door opening. I turned my gaze and in that moment I could swear that my eyelids doubled in size. A huge dog entered the guild, but what was more fascinating wasn't only his size and the fact that he had three heads but too the amount of magic power that he himself was releasing without even trying. I can only imagine how powerful he really must be when fighting in na actual battle. A silver haired girl quickly followed him, scoulding him about how he should walk slower and why would he think that someone as tiny as her when compared to him, could accompany his speed. Finally realising that she had entered the guild, Hikari looked at all of,her smile growing widder.

"Hello Fairy tail! I'm back!"-Hikari yelled and the next thing I saw was two shadows throwing themselves upon her making all guild giggle. I stared at the silver haired girl lying on the ground, laughing while trying to cope with both Mira's and Cana's weight on top of her. Her crystal lavender eyes sparkled at the sign of her long seen nakama and just by that I knew that more than being loved by everyone, Hikari felt that Fairy Tail was her home, something that I could definitely relate too.
