Please leave me some feedback and some love! This will start out a little shorter but hopefully as i get in to the lull of writing this pairing i can make the chapters a little longer for you!

Blossom

The guild was in an uproar. Master had just given the news and there was a mix of reactions among the mages. The most noticeable was of course Erza who was trying to be outraged but was actually ecstatic. Then there were the dragon slayers who actually were outraged. The response the master really paid attention to was the youthful blonde. If anyone had any right to be upset it would be her. He wished he could tell how she felt but her face was blank.

Lucy herself felt a little numb. She could feel her fight or flight instincts, begging her to flee. Her heart was banging in her chest and her muscles were tense. Lucy had many friends who had made mistakes, many of those mistakes were made against her and ones she loved. Many of which were the people she was closest to now.

But there were a few faces that just struck terror within her. Many of which were to join her family and fight beside her. She tried to remember that they had done good deeds. Had helped with the dragons and had been fighting against dark guilds. They had been cleared of their crimes, but she remembered.

Lucy pasted a bright smile on for Erza and her friends then turned and walked out of the guild.

There were a few people who noticed her leave, and her best friend in a rare moment of maturity took off after her.

Cobra sneered as they walked through the too cheerful town, truthfully this is what he wanted, freedom, not having to run constantly and a place to settle down. He could hear how relieved his friends felt, the excitement and the the anticipation of how the guild would react. This guild were people that all of them had tortured and put through hell. He was not expecting them to welcome the group with open arms.

They were walking past the park when her heard it. This soul seemed to ring out louder then the others, high tinkling bells and fluttering flutes. He could almost taste the panic. He grinned, although he didn't try to kill people anymore he still took pleasure in their fear and panic. He scanned the area and his eye lit on a blonde, leaning against a tree that had cherry blossoms, littering the ground around her with fallen petals.

Most males would take note of her body, which was nothing to scoff at, or even her face with her chocolate brown eyes and soft features. The thing that caught Cobras attention however was the sound of her soul. It sounded familiar but he couldn't place where he may have heard it before. He hadn't realized he had paused to stare until one of the group had bounced up to his shoulder. "Oh Cobra found Lucy!"

The name sounded familiar and he heard the trepidation in many of his groups minds, all for various reasons. Angel edged backwards and her soul took very sad notes of regret and longing. Midnight seemed to wake up and the name seemed to resonate with him. He took a step toward the girl and faltered. Many of the group looked toward him, checking to see if he had a reaction. He wasn't sure why he should have a reaction, or who this girl was.

When she caught sight of the group who had all but paused in the street to stare at her, her heart rate picked up. She seemed happy to see Jellal and Meredy however when her eyes shifted to him, standing next to the pink haired girl and the rest of his friends at his shoulder, her muscles tightened and her soul cried out.

Cobra felt the need to hear that sound again, her soul was captivating, especially when strumming in fear. He caught the sounds of her plan to run and that just couldn't happen, not before he could hear her soul some more. He stalked forward and saw her freeze in her spot against the tree. He lent his forearm on the tree next to her and leaned in to her personal space.

His hand snaked forward and snatched a petal falling next to her face. He grinned menacingly "Well hello, blossom." He tapped the blossom petal against her nose. The girl seemed to be speechless and trembled among the falling petals. He could hear their "fearless leader" silently calling for him, and ignored it.

With a sickening grin he leaned in closer, his voice dropping. "Your fear sounds lovely. I couldn't help but come over and introduce myself." He could see the confusion clear in her eyes. "The name is Cobra, don't worry, I'm sure you will see me around." He could hear the warning notes in his leaders soul.

"Well it was lovely to meet you, sorry to cut this short, but places to be, people to torment." The change in her demeanor was immediate. The trembling fearful young girl was nowhere to be found. Now her limbs shook with pure rage and anger. The chime of her voice closely resembled her soul and his eye widened in surprise.

"How dare you." Lucy tried to control the trembling in her voice, she was scared she would cry of frustration. She had been so sure that she would be terrified, and she had been. Until this asshole didn't know who she was. This asshole who had attacked her family twice, had actually come face to face with her and shoved her in a clock.

He must have been able to hear their interactions while he taunted her, was sure he was taunting her because he knew who she was. She knew what he could do, and she hoped he was listening as she poured all of her hate in to the memories of what he and his group had done. Lucy was known as a forgiving person, but the wounds had never closed and she wasn't ready to let them.

She watched the recognition slowly filter in to his eye. A sick amount of pleasure coursed through her at the shame she saw in his expression, this man who was normally so composed. She hoped he regretted everything he had done. She didn't realize that her hand had lifted until she felt the sharp sting on her palm and watched his face fling to the side.

She didn't know if he let her, was too stunned to move or just didn't hear her intent, because she hadn't intended to do it.

Before Cobra knew it, the roles were reversed and he was speechless while she was smug. "Welcome to the family." The words were sneered out and she shoved past him. He stood there, under the fall of the cherry blossoms and couldn't help but watch her hips sway and the confidence she seemed to regain from the interaction. Gone was the girl trembling in fear and there in front of him, was the light of the fairies.

She paused as she came upon the remaining group, watching with awe. Midnight surprisingly was the first to step forward, his head bowed in shame. "Lucy." Lucy shook her head and placed a hand on his shoulder, she could see the recognition in his eyes. "We are so sorry. What we did was wrong, especially to you." Another voice piped in, "And your spirits." The voice was hushed as Sorano tried to hide behind her friend.

Lucy's demeanor softened. "Thank you. I appreciate it." She smiled a bit at Jellal and hugged Meredy then was on her way.

Cobra stood stock still, not understanding how his friends were met with the polite soft spoken girl and he got a slap to the face. He heard a different pinkett approach and glanced at the other slayer. "Luce is big on respect. If you make an effort to apologize, and actually mean it, she'll forgive you." He turned to him, his hands in his pocket and his eyes taking in the large hand print on his face.

"You disrespected her, with the way you spoke to her and that you didn't remember who she was, what you did to her." He shook his head and whistled. "You are going to have to try really hard to make it up to her if you want to fit in." He clapped Cobra on the shoulder, ignoring the way her recoiled, then took off after his best friend shouting her name as he ran to catch up.

Well there is chapter one! This is rated M for future chapters and the next chapter is Pool! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and i hope it was decent!
