This isn't really set in a certain time. It's before they find out the truth about Loke. It's based on a English Dub of the anime. The italicized text between the lines are flashbacks. It's rated T for language.


(Kira's POV)

I walked through the streets of Fiore. It has been so long since I've been here. Three years now? Has it really been that long? I made my way to Fairy Tail. I stopped in front of the guild building and stared at it. I remembered the day Natsu and I found our way here. The guild master, Makarov Dreyar, told us the meaning of Fairy Tail.


"Do fairies really have tails? Do they even exist?... Like them, this place is an eternal mystery. A new ending adventure."


Natsu and I lived by those words. It's a never ending adventure.

I sighed to myself and entered the building. I walked through the guild to the bar. My fellow guild members greeted me, many of them mentioning how long it has been since they have seen me. I sat down at the bar, across from where Mirajane was standing.

"Kira, it's nice to see you." Mirajane said, smiling.

"It's been awhile." I stated. Mirajane got me a drink, water only. I sipped on it as she filled me in on things that has been going on here. After she finished, I glanced around, realizing that Natsu, Grey, and Erza were not around. Just as I was about to ask where they were, Mirajane answered me.

"They're on a job."

I looked at her surprised. "Together?"

Mirajane smiled and nodded.

Natsu Dragneel, Grey Fullbuster, and Erza Scarlet working a job. Together.

I didn't know what to say. All I know is Grey and Natsu can be together five minutes without going at each other's necks. And Erza doesn't put up with their crap.

Mirajane and I began to talk more about things have been going on and how everyone has been doing. I forgot how much I missed this place. I glanced around. Everything was just as I remembered. Loke sitting with a bunch of girls, Cana drinking from a large barrel while sitting on a table, Elfman ranting on about being a real man. Members swarming the request board, others fighting, others sitting around the tables talking.

Loud talking caused me to look towards the door.

"I can't believe you didn't take the reward." A familiar voice whined. I smiled as the owners of the voices came into view.

"We didn't finish the job, therefore we didn't deserve it." The redhead stated, speaking with authority.

"How am I going to pay for rent?" A blonde girl complained. I didn't recognize her, but the others in the group turned to look at me. Their attention was glued on me. Nastu's and Gray's eyes widened. Erza just kind of stared at me. The blonde was confused and was trying to figure out what they were staring at. Happy, the little blue cat that Natsu had hatched, stared at me for only a moment, before screaming my name. He was the first to run, or rather fly, over to me.

"Hi Happy." I said kindly, hugging the blue blob on my lap.

"Where the hell have you been?" Natsu screamed at me, running over to me.

"Hell of a way to say hello, Natsu." I mumbled, crossing my arms.

"Kira!"

I sighed. "I was on a job." I answered vaguely.

"Natsu, give Kira some space!" Erza snapped.

I realized that Erza, Gray, and the blonde girl had made their way over to me. When Natsu didn't back down, Erza punched him in the stomach. Natsu began screaming at her, but at least he was off of me.

"Thanks Erza." I smiled.

The blonde girl was staring at me, confused. I could tell she didn't recognize me either. Her eyes flickered between Natsu and me. She was trying to make the connection, after all, Natsu and I looked like twins. The same spiky pink hair, except mine is longer. The same black eyes. We even had the same red guild mark on the top of the right arm, right below the shoulder.

"Hello," I said finally. "I'm Kira Dragneel. It's a pleasure to meet you." I put my hand out. She did the same, allowing me to see the pink guild mark on her right hand.

"Lucy Heartfilia." She stated. Her eyes widened suddenly. "Dragneel?"

"She's my sister." Natsu informed her. Natsu looked at me and glared. "Younger sister." He said, putting a lot of emphasis on the word younger.

We all sat down at a table and began talking. Natsu continued to pester me abut where I'd been, but I refused to answer. Erza caught me up on what Natsu has been up to. I got to know Lucy a little better. Gray didn't speak at all, but the look on his face said a lot. He was unsure about what he should do, and slightly pissed, which he had every reason to be.

Just as everyone was about to disperse for the night, I realized something. I didn't have a place to stay. Natsu would pester me all night, Gray currently wanted nothing to do with me, spending the night with Erza was weird. That only left Lucy.

"Lucy." I said, before I could stop myself.

"Yes?" She asked. Her brown eyes widened.

"This is a bit awkward. But I don't have a place to stay, would you mind if..."

She didn't give me the chance to finish. She told me it would be fine. I knew she would ask when we got back why I would stay with Natsu, but I was glad she didn't ask there.

We said our goodbyes. Lucy led me through the streets of Fiore, to her place. I was surprised by its size. I told her I would sleep on the couch no problem.

"Can I ask you something?" Lucy asked.

I looked over to her. I pulled my pink hair back into ponytail. "Of course."

"I've been here for a few months now. But Natsu never talked about you. Where have you been all this time?" Lucy stared at me, questionably.

"On a job." I answered, almost too quickly. It was the same answer I gave Natsu at the guild hall.

Lucy nodded, surprisingly okay with that answer. She sat down on her bed.

"Can I ask you a question?"

She nodded.

"Gray and Natsu. What do you think of them?"

Lucy seemed to think for a moment. She grinned. "They're great! They have really made me feel welcome to the guild, like I belong. They are my friends."

Friends. The word caused relief to wash over me. I don't know why. It shouldn't have bothered me so much, but it did.

"Are you going to do jobs with us?" Lucy questioned.

I shrugged my shoulders. Natsu wouldn't let me leave again. Not after last time. Flashes of the past burst into my mind.


"I'm going, Natsu!" I screamed at my older brother, who was attempting to play the Protective Older Brother role.

"No you aren't! It's too dangerous!" Natsu screamed at me.

I stared at him. I was sick of this protectiveness. He tried to control me, when he couldn't even control himself. At least I didn't go around picking fights all the time!

"Yes I am!" I shouted, before storming off.


I sighed. That day was by far the worst of my life, even worse than the day, Igneel left.

Then again, Natsu might not even want me around. Same with Gray. I know I wouldn't if I was them.

"I don't know." I answered finally.

Would Gray and Natsu really want me around after that day? The first thing Natsu did when he saw me for the first time in years was yell at me. Gray hasn't even talked to me yet.

"Are you okay?" Lucy's voice caused me to break from my thoughts. I looked to her. Her eyes were widened in concern.

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I should just... go to sleep."

I walked out of Lucy's bedroom and settled down on the couch. The day I left played in my head, like a video on replay.

At some point I managed to fall asleep, but not before realizing that my life before was gone. I thought returning here would give me some closure, some normalcy. But instead, I realize it is just going to be another problem. Of course, I couldn't leave. Not yet anyway.

What was I going to do?


Author's Note: Howdy guys! So my first attempt of an Anime fan fiction, let alone a Fairy Tale one. I'm sorry if I didn't capture the characters correctly. The story will most likely be told in alternate POVs.

Hope you like it.
