Chapter One

It was a regular day at the Fairy Tail Guildhall. People fought, shouted, fought some more, and wrecked the place. All in all, normal. That was why very few people noticed the door opening, and a girl quietly slipping in. She stood there for a while until everyone had finally halted in their activities and turned to look at her. She brought a shock to everyone.

First was her appearance. There were two people in the guild whom everyone had seen in a constant state of undress or near undress. They were Cana, who generally wore only a bra and no top, and Gray, the club's very own private (and public) stripper. The new girl also happened to be quite stunning. Prettier even than Mirajane. Her height was a bit below average, and she had a slender yet curvy figure. She had thick, long raven hair that fell to her waist in loose curls that tumbled around her shoulders. It was layered, and there were several strands that fell forwards to hide her right eye and left cheek. She had a pretty face, smooth with soft features in which were set silvery blue green eyes. Her full lips were soft and red, set under a small nose.

Her attire, or, at least, her top, was very revealing. She had on a bra and an open red leather jacket that went down to her waist and nothing else. It showed off her large breasts, flat, toned stomach, and small waist and sent several noses into a state of bloodiness. She also had on a pair of loose jeans that hugged her wide hips and a pair of sandals. She had on no visible jewelry, nor did anyone see her holding any possessions.

The second shock was that Natsu immediately ran up to her shouting, "Saku-chan! Fight me!" as he pulled her into a hug. The first part wasn't a surprise. That was simply Natsu being... Natsu. No, the surprise came from the familiarity with which he spoke to her, and the hug. Natsu was not known for showing physical affection. 'Saku-chan' briefly returned the hug before playfully shoving Natsu away. The rest of the Fairy Tail guild members were openly staring with their mouths open slightly. Their jaws dropped even more when Gray, who had stripped at some point during the girl's arrival, walked up to her with a small yet genuine smile.

"Kura-chan. Been a while since you've dropped by," stated the dark-haired boy. His tone was relaxed and casual, but his posture betrayed his happiness and surprise.

"No hello? You've gotten ruder, Gray-chan."

"Hello. Were you looking to join the guild or were you looking for me?"

"I wanted to join Fairy Tail, egotist. I wasn't expecting to find you here. I heard that it was home to the most destructive wizards around and figured it was the place for me. I will admit, I can see why you and Tsu-chan joined. I assume that you," the girl turned to the fire dragon slayer who was aiming a punch at her, "are the main cause of the Magic Council's headache?" She blocked the punch with one hand, slender arm not showing any signs of strain despite the strength the guild knew would be in it.

"Hell yeah!" Natsu grinned as he threw another punch, this one reinforced with fire.

"Tsu-chan, can't you let me finished talking before you attack?" the girl blocked the punch again, ignoring the flames that licked at her skin. Surprisingly, there were no signs of burns on her hand. She retaliated with a punch to Natsu's chest.

"You were ignoring me-" Natsu's words were cut off as he flew backwards into the wall. "for stupid ice-block here." He ran towards the girl again, shouting "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" as his hand lit on fire. The girl dodged it, sending a kick to Natsu's side.

"Hey! Who are you calling stupid, ash-for-brains?" shouted Gray.

"Don't taunt him, Gray-chan," sighed the girl. She sent Natsu flying to the wall again, but the pink-haired mage turned and used it to send him flying towards her, fist on fire. He shot a smug look at the ice mage, which the raven haired girl caught.

"The same goes for you, Tsu-chan." The girl dodged to the side, spinning with her foot extended, sending Natsu sailing in the direction opposite to the way he was going.

"Stop holding back, Saku-chan!" shouted Natsu in frustration. Rolling silvery blue-green eyes, the girl sighed as she caught the fire dragon slayer's fist in her hand, spun him, and shot him straight into the ceiling. It was a rare day where the whole guild was present, including Laxus, the Thunder Tribe, and Gildarts. The crash mage smiled slightly at the move that was reminiscent of his own way of dealing with Natsu's attack. The pink-haired boy landed on his feet, but was soon knocked on his back with a sandal-clad foot planted on his chest.

"I win," said the strange girl with a glint in her eyes. She turned to Gray, who had sat down at a bench during the fight and began walking over to him. As she approached, the ice mage stood and pulled her into a fierce hug which she returned.

"Gray-sama, who is that girl?" cried Juvia. The rain woman glared at the new girl who was in the process of hugging her Gray-sama. Her annoyance grew as she was ignored.

"Gray-chan," began the girl, "as happy as I am to see you, I would like to know the names of everyone currently staring at us." The ice mage reluctantly pulled away, and began to introduce everyone to her, saying their name and magic type.

"You already know Natsu. The one with red hair is Erza Scarlet, a Requip mage and the most powerful girl in the guild. The blonde with the keys is Lucy Heartfilia, a Celestial Mage. She has eight gold keys and four silver. The guy in the suit who's can't take his eyes of Lucy is Loke, or Leo, one of her Celestial Spirits. That blue-haired girl over there is Levy McGarden, a Solid Script mage. The guy with the long black hair and piercings is Gajeel Redfox, an-" Gray was cut off by the girl.

"He's an Iron Dragon Slayer. Metallicana's 'brat', right?" the mage in question started in surprise.

"How do you know Metallicana?" he asked.

"I just do. There are seven dragon slayers that I know about, including you and Natsu. Three are first generation, two second, and two third. I know their names, just not their appearances," replied the girl, clearly evading the question.

"Before we continue with this introduction, I think we'd all appreciate knowing the name of our guest," Makarov interrupted as Gray opened his mouth to continue. "We have enough members that I suspect that it will be a long time before we have the pleasure of knowing our member-to-be's name." Gray looked slightly sheepish as he ignored Juvia's continuous questions of who the girl was to him.

"This is Sakura," he said.

"Juvia understands," shouted the water mage, frustrated at being ignored by her lovely Gray-sama. "Sakura-san is another love rival." She hissed out the words with venom as she glared at the now-named Sakura, who looked utterly confused.

"What?! I don't like Gray-chan like that!" she said.

"Don't mind her, Kura-chan. She seems to think that every girl I'm even vaguely affectionate with is a 'love rival'. Anyways, the blonde over there with the lightning scar is Laxus Dreyar," Gray continued.

"Second generation Lightning Dragon Slayer, right?" queried Sakura.

"Right. The one with the green hair is Freed Justine; he's a Rune mage. The one in the helmet is Bickslow, a Seith mage. The one with glasses is Evergreen, a Stone mage. They make up the Thunder Tribe." Gray continued with introductions, which took a ridiculous amount of time. After he was finally done, Mira walked up to Sakura with the giant Fairy Tail stamp in her hand.

"What color would you like you stamp, and where?" asked the Take Over mage sweetly.

"Green, on the left side of my chest." Mira stamped it, and Sakura was officially part of Fairy Tail.
