"Wait up, Ryuu!" I called as I quickly dashed down the cities busy streets. I heard him respond with an annoyed grunt as he slowed down so I could run beside him. I giggle slightly as we jumped over a bench startling the couple that was sitting on it.

"Stop them!" Yelled a man from behind us, "Thief's, Thief's!" he screamed, I turned to run backwards, and stuck my tongue out at him. "How dare you?!" he gasped "Get back here, you little brats!" he screeched, as me and Ryuu laughed out loud letting his angry voice get carried away by all the noises of the crowded street.

We continued running, skillfully making our way through the busy market place, until we were sure no one was fallowing us. We had made it out of the market place and now stood on the grassy hills of the beautiful city park. I was gasping for breath as I plopped myself down roughly on the grass and let myself catch my breath.

"That was close." I said laughing again.

Ryuu stood near me holding the large bag of bread we had… found? "I thought we were going to stop stealing and try to be more careful." I said as I laid down on the grass and let my long snow white hair fan out around me; the grass felt amazingly cool on my hot neck and shoulders.

"Well, the bag was sitting on the ground near the baking stand. How were we supposed to know the baker still wanted to sell them?" Ryuu asked me jokingly as he sat down nest to me. I closed my eyes and sighed he could be so hard to handle sometimes. I moved to a sitting position while still leaning back on my hands.

"This was the last time, ok? We did come here to start a new life, after all." I looked over at Ryuu and gave him my serious face.

He laughed but nodded as he handed me a piece of the bread from the bag. I smiled accepting it and taking a small bite, it was a sweet roll. 'Score.' I thought to myself, as I looked back at him and watched him eat his own roll.

Ryuu was a fairly tall young man with a muscular yet lean frame. He had black, short hair and his skin was a dark tan color. I chucked internally as I glanced over his clothes. He normally chose to wear dark clothing; a black hooded sweater with dark blue jeans and black boots that came up over his pants about half way up his calf. Thou I didn't understand why the color mattered, because he always wore a think black blindfold that covered both his eyes.

I remember when I first met him it had really freaked me out, how he was able to move around like he could see perfectly but yet his eyes were always totally covered. Later I found out that it was because of his type of magic; Sensory magic. All his senses were extremely heightened. This made his eyes sensitive to light, which explain his reason for covering them. But he basically didn't need them, with his hearing, smell, and touch all so intensely sensitive, he could practically see everything without ever opening his eyes. His magic also heightened his body physically; he was stronger, faster, and tougher than any other person I knew.

I had always kind of been jealous of his magic; it just made everything seem so easy. I glanced down at myself briefly, I wore a dark gray shirt that came to my knees on one side and up to my hip on the other and underneath I wore a bright pair of yellow shorts. I glanced down at my feet to see my knee high yellow lace up boots and my black socks that were just barely visible at the top of them. I place my free hand on my stomach as it grumbled and looked at down at my top. It was a corset black and gray top with yellow lace up the sides, the top left my shoulders bare but they were normally covered by my waist long snow white hair anyways. I liked to let it hang loose; it made me feel pretty without really having to try.

I ran my fingers through my hair and tapped my toes together slightly, smiling to myself. I lifted my hand and held it out in front of me while forming a small ball of floating gold dust. That was my magic; Gold dust or fairy dust. I could basically make any inanimate object I wanted out of the dust; a pillow, a hair brush, a large hammer. You get the idea.

"What's' the matter?" Ryuu asked me in his usual playful voice, as he stared straight ahead munching on his roll still.

I was still always amazed at how observant he was, even with his sight gone. Also, I always thought it was funny that he never looked at the person he was talking to; he didn't need to after all. I watched as my gold dust expanded and shrunk in my hand, looking like a small star about to explode.

"Nova?" Ryuu asked in a gentler voice, I sighed and let my magic dust disappear.

"Nothing." I said as I looked up over the city park, the sun was setting making the sky full of strange beautiful colors. "It's just hard to believe we are finally here." Ryuu nodded beside me as we fell into a comfortable silence.

A little while later we were walking through the streets of Mongolia in search of the famous Fairy Tail guild.

"Are you sure you're reading that right?" Ryuu asked me for the hundredth time.

"Hey don't get an attitude with me, sightless." I snapped back, we had been walking in circles and I knew we were lost. It sucked that out of the two of us the one who was good at directions was currently wearing a blindfold.

"Agh," I groaned, throwing my hand up in frustration. "I have no idea how to read this darn map."

Ryuu chuckled beside me and put out his hand. "Should I have a go at it, then?" he joked and I playfully hit his arm laughing at him.

"No doofus. I'll just ask someone." I walked up to the closet person to us who happened to be an older lady who was watering some flowers.

"Excuse me?" I asked her giving my best friendly smile, but she acted like she didn't hear me. I turned and looked back at Ryuu raising one eye brow in confusion, but he just crossed his arms at me and chuckled again. I turned back to the woman and tried again this time gently tapping her on the shoulder. Suddenly she jumped and screamed, and threw the whole pail of water she was hold all over me. Ryuu erupted into laughter as I squirted some of the water out of my mouth with an annoyed expression on my face. The old lady turned to face me and fixed her crooked glasses so she could see us better.

"Oh my. Has is rained?" she asked me, I replied with a, oh so intelligently. "Hu?"

"Your clothes, my deer? You're soaked to the bone." She explained as she pointed at my dripping form. Ryuu finally decided it was time to help me and stepped forward still laughing.

"Excuse me, but could you tell us how to get to Fairy Tail?" he asked her while sending an amused smile in my direction.

The old lady face light us instantly. "Ah, your wizards." She smiled widely at us "Yes, yes. You just head down this street for about 5 blocks and then take a left for another 3 and you should see the Guild at the end of the street."

"Thank you." Ryuu said as he steered me away still smirking at me.

"And child, next time get out of the rain before you catch a cold." She called after us, as I huffed and blew my wet bangs out of my face while Ryuu started laughing all over again.

We followed the old lady's directions and soon found ourselves standing in front of the Fairy Tail guild. It was like a small castle; all made of stone with towers and flags. I felt my mouth fall open slightly as it finally sunk in that we were here. Ryuu placed his hand on my shoulder and I turned to look at him. He gave me his normal goofy smile and nodded.

"You ready for this?" he asked gently

I clenched both my fists and held my head high in determination. "Yes." I answered and we stepped forward to open the large wooden doors and took our first steps into Fairy Tail.
