The 'Blood' Dragon Slayer

"So this is Fairy Tail?" Sienna thought to herself, as she looked up at the guild, her bag slung over her back. She was amazed at how big the place was; she had imagined it to be much smaller.

"Well, it's all or nothing I guess." She walked along the stone, cobbled path that lead to the guild's front door. She was most certainly nervous, but she tried to concentrate on what she was going to say next. As she held the handle to the guild's large, oak door, she took a deep breath, and opened it.

Inside the guild, it was just another typical day. Natsu, Gray, Gajeel and most of the other wizards were busy trying to beat each other to a pulp. Lucy and Mirajane were sitting at the bar talking to each other, looking as though the fighting didn't bother them. Cana and a few other wizards had their faces stuck to a beer glass. To Sienna's surprise, no-one had even seemed to notice her entrance. She took a few steps forward into the guild, looking around to see if she could find the man she was looking for.

"Incoming!"Sienna ducked just in time, as Elfman flew over the top of her and into the wall.

"Jeez, this guild really is as nuts as everyone says" The thought made her smile a little.

"You alright over there?" Sienna looked to her left to see Erza walking towards her.

"You need help or something?"

"I..err...well I..." She looked back at the chaos the guild was in.

"Don't worry about them. I saw you looking around. Do you need someone?" Erza's voice snapped her back to her conversation.

"Yeah, I was looking for Master Makarov"

"And why did you want to see the master?"

"Well, I...I want to join Fairy Tail" Her words stumbled out faster than she had meant to.

"I see." Sienna looked at her with a sense of disappointment. Going by her tone, she could tell that she wouldn't be accepted. But to her amazement Erza smiled.

"Well OK then!" Relief flooded her body. Erza held out her hand.

"I'm Erza Scarlet. Who are you?" Sienna took her hand and shook it gently.

"I'm Sienna"

"Come on, I'll take you to the master" She turned and Sienna followed behind her. She led her around the chaos of the still fighting members of the guild, and up the stair to the second floor. As she was walking past, Natsu stopped fighting for a few moments and stared at her. The most noticeable thing about her was her dark red hair, which seemed to highlight her green eyes. He also noticed how she didn't seem to dress like most of the girls in the guild, as she had most of her body covered up. But it was only brief, and soon Natsu was busy again trying to punch Gray.

Makarov was sitting on the wooden railing looking down at the mass of fighting downstairs. He let out a sigh.

"Master!" He turned his head to see Erza and Sienna walking towards him.

"Erza, what's up?"

"Master, this girl here," She held her hand towards Sienna who was now standing almost side by side with her, "wishes to join our guild".

He paused for a moment and then said "I see. What's your name, kid?"

"Seriously this old man looks at me and refers to me as a kid?" I'm Sienna."

"And what makes you want to join our guild"

"Well...I've, er, been a really big fan of Fairy Tail for years now, and seeing as I've got my own magical powers now, I just really wanted to join," she said rubbing the back of her head.

"Damn, he better believe my cover story!" Makarov stood up.

"I see. Excuse me for a moment."

"Master?" Erza asked. He took a deep breath.

"WILL THE LOT OF YOU IDOTS STOP FIGHTING EACH OTHER FOR 5 BLINKING MINUTES!"Makarov roared. The guild fell into an eerie silence in an instant, as everyone stopped in their tracks and looked up at the master.

"Thank you. Now...it seems we have a new recruit," the master said raising his hand towards Sienna. Her eyes widened with shock. Several people in guild in the guild began to cheer and whoop.

"Shit! Why did the old fart make such a spectacle out of this?"

"Now, go and speak to Mirajane down there," Makarov said pointing to the bar where she was sitting. "She'll get you sorted out". His face beamed with a huge grin.

"Fine. And thanks". She turned away and made her way downstairs and over the bar towards Mirajane.

"There you go," Mirajane said as she finished putting the black Fairy Tail mark at the side of Sienna's neck.

"Cheers," Sienna said only half meeting her gaze. "Mind getting me a drink, and perhaps something to eat?"

"Sure, no problem. I'll be right back." Sienna sat down and let out a sigh.

"So you're the new girl, huh?" She turned her head to see that it was Lucy who was talking to her.

"I'm Lucy. And you are?"

"Sienna," she said half heartily.

"Well, welcome to the guild!" she said happily. "I know coming here is kinda daunting, seeing as everyone acts completely nuts, but you'll get used to it eventually!" As she said it, Natsu went flying over the bar and crashed into everything behind.

"Well, almost," she said still looking happy. Sienna looked over at the collapsed heap that was Natsu.

"Hey, is he gonna be ok?"

"Don't worry. Unfortunately, you can't keep him down for long!" As soon as she said the words Natsu was on his feet, yelling in between Lucy and Sienna.

"Oi! Gildarts you bastard! Fight me properly!" he flung himself over the counter and ran back over the other side of the guild hall.

Mirajane came back with a plate of food and a pint glass of drink, and placed it in front of Sienna.

"Thanks Mira."

"So, um, what kind of m-"Lucy began speaking but stopped as she saw Sienna was too busy wolfing down her food.

"Whoa! You would have thought that this girl hadn't eaten in days!"

On the second floor, Gajeel was leaning on the banister looking down at Sienna.

"What you thinking Gajeel?" asked Lily. Gajeel said nothing and continued to observe her.

Finally, Sienna took the last gulp of her drink.

"You sure looked like you needed that, huh?"Lucy said as Sienna stood up. She said nothing and started to walk away.

"Wait! Where you going?"

"To look for a job."

"Hang on. Don't you want to go with me for your first j-"she asked as she grabbed her arm. She spun round. As, she did, the fringe that was covering the left side of her forehead lifted revealing to Gajeel, who was still upstairs, an 'X' shaped scar on her forehead. As soon as he saw it, his eyes widened.

Lucy stood looking at her in silence, though not having seen her scar.

"Listen," Sienna said with a rather stern tone, "I'm not the kind of girl you think I am. I work alone, so leave me alone." She shook her hand away from Lucy and walked off.

"I wonder what's up with her?"

On the second floor, Gajeel turned and stared to walk away.

"C'mon Lily. I need to go check something." Lily followed in pursuit.
