The guild was soaring over its new-comer, Lucy Heartfilia. Parties were made and everyone was brawling it out on the guild hall. Lucy looked on, happiness spread all over her face. Never had she seen these wild bunch of mages, but it made her happy.
Oddly enough, she also felt enveloped magic. But it wasn't crushing her or even threatening, instead, it was comforting. As if it was showing her that she was now a part of the family. She wanted to find out where this magic was coming. 'Maybe I should walk around and figu-
"Luigi?, Luigi, LUIGI" She snapped back to reality, only to realize that the dragons slayers face was right inches away from hers. She started to blush . "KYAAA" She slapped him hard across the face, sending him flying towards the other side of the guild. The other guildmates laughed. "Shes definitely part of the guild!"
Natsu stood up and walked back lucy. "What did you do that for" He rubbed his face, pouting. "All I wanted to ask was if you wanted to get a job"
"You can do that without putting your face in my own personal bubble! AND MY NAMES LUCY!" Natsu waved it off. "You're new, so I was going to ask if you wanted to join a mission with me. Was that too much to ask?" he said as he still rubbed the injured cheek. "You should also take it down a notch with those slaps...They hurt." Lucy broke a smirk "Serves you right for disturbing my peace".
"Natsu is right though Lucy, you should probably get a job with someone first before you start doing solo missions." Mira added. Lucy thought about it before finally agreeing with her.
"Fine, But I get more than half pay, I need to pay the rent." Natsu made his signature smile. "Alright! Happy pack your stuff we're going to a mission with lucy!" The blue cat appeared out of Natsu's back and flew towards their stuff "Aye sir!".
As Natsu and Happy were occupied with setting up the mission, Lucy looked over the guild one last time before going out to her first mission as a Fairy Tail member. "Come on Lucy, let's get going" Lucy sighed 'this is gonna be a long day'.
"Coming!" She ran up to Natsu and Happy. "So, what's the mission about?" Natsu passed her the the mission info. "We're suppose to beat some Vulcans blocking the path to the mountains. This is so cool! You're gonna love being a Fairy Tail mage!" She grimaced at the sound of Vulcan. 'The mission seems easy enough'. She looked back at her guild mark, a warm smile entering her face.
-o-
Midnight came to Magnolia, and with the night coming the guild left for their respective homes. Mirajane was walking out with Makarov, locking up the guild as she left.
"goodnight..." She whispered at the sleeping figure. She stared for a couple of moments before walking out. Unbeknownst to her, the figure gave a sad smile.
Outside...
"Thinking about him again, aren't you?" Mira stared at the stars. "How could I not? He does nothing but sleep. I'm worried for him master.." Makarov sighed. Everyone's attempt to talk to him were futile, even his own. No one knows his name or where he came from. They don't even know how he came to fairy tail. The man was an enigma, and like his grandson, shut everyone out.
"Let it be mira. He wants to be alone, so we must accept his wishes and let him." Mira sadly nodded and started to walk towards her home. "C'ya tomorrow master" She gave him a smile before turning around.
"Goodnight mirajane" Makarov stared at her as she left. 'She sure has a body, hehehehe….' His perverted thoughts entering his mind as he left for home.
-o-
The man stood up from his makeshift bed made of chairs. He stretched and groaned, waking up his muscles. After his stretches he looked outside, complete darkness, he then looked at his watch. 'Only 4:00. Let's see what missions there are to complete'. He walked over to the missions board and did a quick look at the missions. After a few moments he saw that none were interesting enough or even come close to a challenge for him. He walked up to the stairs heading to the 2nd floor, which contained S-class + missions. He stared at the stairs before walking up. 'Sorry for doing this old man, but I technically i am an S-class'
As he surveyed the missions board, he came upon the same realization. They were all boring and brought nothing good to the table. As he stood there wondering what to do next, an idea formed in his head. He did an evil smile before reaching and grabbing all the S-class missions there were.
He started going down the stairs and walking to his private corner. 'Hes going to kill me once he realizes what i've done…' he gave a shrug and prepared his bag. A few minutes later he was dressed the same way he's always dressed in. A blood red cloak that was tied in the waist, semi closing it, a white collared shirt underneath it, Black dress pants, and sandals. He looked over to his right wrist. Laying here was the last thing he had of his old life. A seemingly normal silver bracelet. He stared at it for a few moments before starting to head out
"C'ya in a few Fairytail".
Next morning…
Laxus entered the guild at his usual time. The guild was already at that point lively and brawling. He scoffed at all the noise they make and went directly towards the 2nd floor, hoping to avoid any confrontation. He made it up without any problem and went straight for the sofas. Just as he was about to jump in he saw that the mission board was completely empty. He stood there puzzled before he saw a small note at the corner of the board.
"Be back in a few". Laxus stared at the note, he cringed at the smiley face written on it. He walked towards the balcony
"Oi, jiji, all the S-Class missions are gone." He looked at his grandson before jumping up to the second floor. Makarov was agape. Who could take all them? And better yet, who was qualified enough to take them all and survive?
"All S-Class mages get your butts up here!" The only ones to move up were Mirajane and Erza.
Once Erza and Mirajane got up there, Master was already in a video lacrima with Mystogan and Gildarts. Asking them if they had taken the missions.
"I haven't been anywhere near the guild" Gildarts answered, completely serious. "Neither have I master" Makarov sighed. "Thanks my children. I'll tell you if anything pops up." With that, both video lacrimas turned black.
"I'm guessing neither of you took them either?" Both shook their heads. "Then I guess we'll start interrogating the others. Lock the guild, we have find out who isn't here." Erza nodded. She jumped the railing and landed gracefully down the main floor and walked towards the main entrance.
Just as she was about to lock it the doors flew open, sending her flying to the bar.
"We're back!" Natsu gave his signature smile before realizing that everyone was staring at him with their mouths hanging. "Whats wrong?" Someone pointed at the bar. Natsu turned to see Erza on the ground with beer all over her.
"HA! Whichever poor soul did that is going to die tonight." Natsu grinned like a wildman. He inwardly hoped it was Gray. He was already seeing the ways Erza was going to kill him.
Elfman finally found his voice. "She was about to lock up the guild doors…." This made Natsu start thinking. "Ok and? Your point?" Everyone just stared at the Dragonslayer with sorry eyes. You could literally see the gears turn in his head as he started to think.
'I don't get it. I opened the door like I always do, kicking the doors op-' The realization hit him. He looked back to see Erza standing right next to him. Natsus face paled as he gave her a sheepish smile "I can explai-" Natsu's face caved inwardly.
"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU TO OPEN THE DOOR LIKE A REGULAR PERSON?! WHAT IF IT WAS THE MASTER OR SOMEONE IMPORTANT?"
Everyone winced every time she punched him. They all gave their silent prayers to the poor Firebreather.
Northern forest…3 days later
'Well, that's the last of them' He sighed. He expected these missions to prove some difficulty. Although some were fun to do and some wasted his time, they didn't give him what he wanted. The thrill of being alive. He walked back to the town to collect his reward.
He met up with the mayor, who was eagerly waiting for his safe return. "Ahhh you're back. I'm guessing by the way you look the mission was a success?" He nodded. The mayor was ecstatic. "Thank you very much! Now we can make trade business again and regain this town to former glory!" The mayor quickly turned around and grabbed the big sack of jewels. "I should have never doubted you. Fairytail wizards are certainly the strongest out there." He chuckled as he said it.
"Aye" He grabbed the jewels and bowed before heading out. "Wait, before you leave, may I ask you something?" He thought about it before giving off a nod. "What is your name?" The cloaked man hung his head and tightened his grip on the sack. Moments passed as the mayor regretted his actions, apologizing immediately "Apologies, I did not mean to pry in your pers-"
"It's fine." The man looked up again, his eyes showed pain that no one should ever experience, especially that young in life. "The name is Sayu Tashima." The mayor looked on sadly. Sayu gave one last smile before leaving the town to head back to Magnolia
"Sayu huh..." The mayor turned around and headed towards his office.
