A/N: Konnichiwa minna-san! Guess who's an idiot? Me! I just started Trouble in Namimori, buuuut I went ahead and decided to post this one up since it was bothering me for a while. I'm not so sure if I like the title, but I'll deal with it. This is rate T for profanity and fights. I don't know about pairings though. It could be HibikixOC or someone with someone. Well thanks for taking your time to read my un-beta story! Oh yeah. This is just the prologue. I need to edit chapter 1.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or its fantastic characters; just my OOCs.
Prologue
BAM!
Dark clouds loomed over the skies as bright lightning flashed by. Slowly, but surely, heavy raindrops started falling towards the ground.
In a particular guild, the atmosphere was the same as outside.

"You don't have to leave, Kai-kun!"
A chubby man wearing makeup pleaded. His heels made a tapping noise as his pink dress ruffled in his desperation. A short, skinny petite girl wearing a long blue dress with ruffles on the edges stopped in her tracks.
She turned around and faced him with emerald eyes that mirrored sadness. She smiled half-heartedly and looked towards the bald-headed man.
"I would really love to stay in Blue Pegasus, Master Bob, but I don't want you to be burdened by me any longer. I know what Otou-sama has been saying to you."
She hanged her honey-brown head down in shame and stared at her matching blue flats.
Master Bob looked at her with gentleness and fondly tried to assure the girl.
"It's okay, Kai-kun. I can handle the pressure from your father. Please, just stay in the guild! You're part of our family, are you not?"
Kai shuffled her feet nervously as she started feeling the tears welling up in her already glossy eyes.
"I'm sorry, I truly am sorry," she started with a bow, " I'm really thankful that you took me in considering my circumstances these past three years. I really love being here and helping everybody. But I need to step up. I cannot allow anyone else to get hurt. I guess I should erase my guild membership symbol..."
She looked at her shoulder and erased a purple pegasus symbol with a wave of her hand.
"Kai-kun... Will nothing I say will change your mind?"
She shook her head slowly and headed for the door.
"Stop right there, hime-sama."
Kai turned around to see a blond hair green eye guy and a dark skin, black hair and gray eyes standing near the wall. They were both posing with their arms crossed and slightly leaning against the wall.
"Ren-kun... and Eve-kun... What is it?"
"Hime-sama, why would you want to leave your palace of safety?" The blond one asked cutely with moist tears in his eyes.
Kai looked at him with emotionless eyes and replied, "Eve-kun, I do not wish to burden my nakamas anymore. It was my fault that Kei-kun and Zakuro-chan got hurt. Besides, Karen-chan would love it if she finally becomes the shining star of Blue Pegasus."
"But it was not your fault, Kairi-sama!" Ren blurted out and blushed when he realized what he said.
"Yes, yes. Kei-kun and Zakuro-kun got hurt only because they chose to protect their fellow nakama—their important friend, Kai-kun," Master Bob assured while ignoring her last remark.
"It's still my fault... I'm sorry. Bye Master Bob, Ren-kun, Eve-kun..." Kairi whispered while opening the door.
She walked out, leaving the three of them to stare at her fading footsteps.
"What are we going to do, Master?" Eve asked.
"Let's leave it to Hibiki-kun for now, Eve-kun, Ren-kun. If he can't convince her, then we have no choice but to let her go," the Master replied sorrowfully and went inside.

Kairi slowly walked through the narrow hallway towards the nearing exit. In truth, she did not want to leave. She was content enough living in a guild. Blue Pegasus to be more specific. Kai really love the people here. They were all nice and accepting towards with no feelings of hatred.
She wiped away a stray tear as she straightened her back and looked forward.
"Hime-sama, where do you think you are going?"
A silky voice asked curiously out of the shadows behind Kairi. She quickly turned around and looked toward the direction of the voice.
"Oh, it's you Hibiki."
He crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. "Ouch, so cold. What's wrong with you? Just this morning you gave me a hug when you saw me, but now you give me the cold shoulder?"
Kairi giggled at his exasperated voice and stopped when she realized it was her own laughter. She pressed her lips into a firm line and declared determinedly, "I'm leaving Blue Pegasus, Hibiki-kun."
"Why? You were always happy here these past three years."
Her fists clenched tightly as she heard his carefree words. Biting her lip lightly, she tried not to let the tears fall down. 'Not in front of him,' Kairi thought grimly to herself.
"I was happy and I am thankful to the guild. I just can't bare to think of anybody else getting hurt because of me."
"You know it's just natural to help a lady in distress."
"It's exactly because of those reasons! I know they want to protect me because I'm a fellow guild member and an ally, but I just can't bare it!"
Hibiki rushed over and punched the wall right by her face on the right side.
"Then what is it that you don't understand?" he yelled.
Kairi trembled under his furious face.
"I-I just can't, Hibiki-kun. I just can't bare it... I'm not strong like you, Ren-kun, or Eve-kun."
She casted her eyes away from his passionate ones and slowly inched toward the door. Hibiki slammed his other hand on the other side of her head and looked down at her with hurt evergreen eyes.
"Please Hibiki. Please don't make this any harder than it already is." Kairi opened her mouth and whispered as she tried to appease his anger.
"Why? Why? Why won't you stay? Why are you leaving me alone? You promised me three years ago..."
Kairi gently stroked his bronze hair as he cried silently. She slowly pushed him away and he slumped onto the opposite wall.
"Bye Hibiki. I'll contact you soon so don't worry. Besides, I bet Karen would love it now that I'm gone. Oh, and say bye to Leo for me," Kairi whispered as she exited the guild for the last time.
Hibiki drooped to the floor. His hair covered his eyes but tears were evident on his pale face.
"Why? Even though you promised to be together in this guild when we first met…"
