THIS IS NOT A RYUKO X NATSU

I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A RYUKO X NATSU

Enjoy anyway! This chapter is before Erza drags Natsu off to learn how to read.

Ryuko Matoi is the daughter of the scientist Isshin Matoi, sent to Fairy Tail when she was five so that her father could continue his research.

Ryuko Matoi is the name of the Punching Fairy, a now ten-year-old girl who keeps to herself, only really talking to Cana, who has been in the guild for as long as she has, despite Cana being a year older.

Ryuko took a rice ball from her plate, taking a bite and giving a small smile. Eventually, she noticed the new kid, some pink-haired boy the same age or so as her, exploring the guild.

"Yo! New Kid!" she called him over to her.

"Eh?" the kid went up to her. She grinned and went to grab a rice ball, holding it out to him.

"Want a rice ball?" she questioned. Natsu ate the rice ball straight out of her hand, causing her to sweatdrop.

"Soo, what's your name, New Kid? I'm Ryuko Matoi."

"Natsu Dragneel!"

Ryuko grinned, "Nice ta meetcha!" she held her hand out for a shake. Natsu shook it hard, causing Ryuko to grin even wider. Natsu matched her grin.

"I like ya, Natsu!" she chuckled, passing her plate of Onigiri to Natsu, "What type of magic do ya got? I have Punching Magic."

"I'm a fire Dragonslayer!"

"So you can slay dragons and shit? Cool!" Ryuko took a sip of her non-alcoholic drink while Natsu ate the rest of the rice balls.

The girl eventually stood, and went to the job request board. Natsu tailed her, stopping behind her when she looked over the job request board for an adequate job. She soon ripped one from the board, noticing Natsu when she did so.

"You comin', Natsu?"

The pink-haired kid nodded, "Yeah!"

"Alright!" Ryuko grinned, "It's really simple. Just some annoyances in another town, but there's good rewards."

"'Kay!"

"Let's go! Team Punching Dragon!" Ryuko pumped her fist.

"Yeah!" Natsu copied her. The two ran out of the guild, starting Natsu's first team in Fairy Tail, Team Punching Dragon.

When they got back, Ryuko gave Natsu half the rewards, a fond grin on her face.

"Thanks for the help, Natsu."

"No problem!"

Ryuko probably has more friends, but I just imagine her talking to Cana more, 'cause they've been in the guild the longest :3

Please review! I'm gonna gather up all the 'Pre FT' episodes I can so I can do this right! :3
