Hey guyz! The following story is a project I'll be working on for at least 4 months, so there's a good chance there'll be plenty of chapters to come ^_^ I hope you enjoy it!
The time had come, for her to finally set foot in the fairy tail guild. She'd traveled all the way from the village of Naton, just to meet a certain person that was lost years ago. She stepped inside, only to be greeted by an icy chill.
"Gray you coward!" Natsu yelled. "Oh come on you can't use an ice shield that's cheating!"
"Where's your fire now, Salamander?" Gray sneered. He summoned an ice sword, ready to slice.
"I'm just getting started!" Retorted Natsu.
They ran at each other, one with an ice sword in hand, and the other with a fist of fire. At the last moment, the mysterious girl drew her hand up, casting a spell on them. The fighting stopped, and they stared at each other calmly.
The whole guild turned to face the strange newcomer with black hair. She stared back at all of them, a curious gleam in her eyes. "Who is this brat?!" Natsu yelled. "No one disturbed my battle!" He clenched his fist as a circle of fire appearing around it. He threw the fire charges at her instantly, but none of them hit. She was no longer there.
"Hey where did she go now? I can still smell her though!" Said Natsu.
"That's because I'm aura now."The girl said, slowly materializing again.
"Oh this is gonna be easy!" Natsu grinned. "How is aura going to fight?"
She narrowed her eyes in anger. No one had ever underestimated the power of aura, Narsu would pay for being so arrogant! She stared at Natsu intently, her gaze literally staring into his soul. "Such power..." She murmured to herself. She raised her hand once more, this time, pointing a finger at her opponent.
"I'll show you what it can do!" The girl said. Nothing happened at first, but a few seconds later Natsu dropped to his knees on the floor, his eyes in shock. "What are you doing to me?" He yelled.
"Might as well finish you off now." She said. She walked over to Natsu, who was now withering on the floor in confusion. One second he was laughing, and the next he was furious. With all the emotions running through his veins, he could not fight any more.
The girl bent down to Natsu's body. She brought her hand down to his head and was about to cast a finishing spell when Natsu's eyes flickered open, and his mouth shot up, snatching her hand. He glared at her, emotions rippling through him like wildfire.
"I will not be beaten!" He yelled. The girl was thrown across the room, plastered into a wall, by a blast of fire. She panted, and pain seared through her right leg. She gritted her teeth in pain, but would not give up just yet.
She leapt across the wooden tables swiftly, making sure not trip because of her injured leg. Finally, she jumped off the last table, her hand shot out, and her fist whisked by Natsu's face. She scowled in dissatisfaction. If Natsu hadn't dodged her punch, the fight would've been over by now.
"Roar of the fire dragon!" Natsu said. He curled his hands into a tube shape and lifted them to his mouth. A funnel of fire lurched out, the flames flying at an alarming speed towards the girl.
"Damn!" The girl swore when she realized that she couldn't dodge due to her wounded leg. All she could do was cover her face and hope for the best. "If I don't make it out of this-"
The fire missed her by inches. Someone pulled her back. The girl walked forward but stopped instantly when she realized there was a sword positioned at her neck. She nervously looked up, and saw Erza Scarlet, the most powerful female wizard in fairy tale.
"And who might you be?" Asked Erza in a demanding tone. She brought her sword closer to the girl's neck. "Picking a fight with fairy tail was your worst mistake."
"I-I'm Reina." She stammered.
Erza sharpened her gaze. "What business do you have with fairy tail?"
"Is Gray Fullbuster here?" Reina asked timidly, eying the sword disdainfully.
Erza inspected Reina for a second, then removed her sword and pointed to Gray, who was watching them carefully. Well, by now, the whole guild was watching. Reina snuck a glance at Erza quickly before rushing over to Gray.
"How do you know me?" Gray asked. Reina stared into Gray's eyes.
Is this really him? Reina thought. She grabbed out a piece of folded paper and handed it over to Gray. He carefully opened the paper, soon realizing it was a letter for him. He scrunched his eyebrows together in concentration.
"Hey Levy, can you come over here? This looks like an ancient writing." Gray called.
"Sure thing!" Levy replied, looking over the letter with her glasses on. She then pulled out a huge, thick, rusty book and set it on a table. "Let's see, page 801... Nope, I wonder if this is another anagram... Ah, the letters do fit in this phrase." She muttered to herself.
Jet and Droy walked over to Levy and gave her encouraging words. Deciding that it wasn't enough, both boys started a cheer routine for her too. "Levy! Levy! Levy!"
"Shut up!" Gajeel scowled, his voice dropping lower. "Your bothering Levy."
Levy glimpsed at Gajeel, a shy smile forming on her lips. Her eyes darted back to the book once she realized that he was glaring at her. Gray sighed impatiently, deciding that things were starting to get boring, and a little action would be good. He walked over to Natsu and subconsciously took off his clothes half way.
"What do you want?" Natsu grumbled. "And put some clothes on!"
Gray shrugged, staring at Natsu mischievously.
"Why are you looking at me that way?" Natsu asked cautiously.
Gray pulled out a job request and gave it to Natsu. "Just for you."
Natsu looked at Gray suspiciously before looking at the job. "Help needed at the Clover town train station. Anyone that qualifies as a bodyguard will keep the ancient treasure from being stolen off of the train. Pay: $500,000"
"Are you interested? Or too scared?" Gray taunted.
"What are you talking about?" Natsu replied. "I'll take the job."
A few moments later Levy bolted out of her chair and stared at Gray in shock. Erza seemed to pick up Levy's strange discomfort instantly. "What wrong?" She asked.
Levy's mouth was wide open in surprise, but once she found her voice again, she started to read the letter aloud.
"Gray, I couldn't decipher the entire message, but I can basically figure out what it's trying to say." Said Levy. "Reina is your cousin! It says here that your uncle is her father!"
"That's impossible," Gray muttered, but his eyes gleamed with doubt. Do I actually have an uncle? He wondered. "Who is your mother, Reina?"
"Her name is Ur." Reina answered.
PLEASE READ: Im thinking of becoming an author in the future, so any constructive criticism would be a great deal of help.
