Fairy tail Fanfic!
Chapter 2 Lissana is that you!?
Natsu couldn't move. The aura emitting from Ikiru's body was bearing down magic energy. Natsu felt as if a boulder had been placed on his shoulders. What was this magical pressure? Master Makarov was about to attack Ikiru to protect Natsu. But then the aura in the air dissipated and Ikiru started coughing vigorously until eventually he threw up all over the bar. Natsu after recovering from the effects of the dark aura asked if Ikiru was alright. It was at this point when Ikiru started hyperventilating then fell off of the stool onto his knees. Spilling his drink. Clenching his stomach and struggling to breathe Ikiru passed out on the floor.
After spending 30 minutes unconscious Ikiru awoke to find himself in an infirmary bed in the Fairy Tail guild hall; in a small room. Surrounded by a small amount of guild members Ikiru didn't know what to say. He felt numb and exhausted, this is an effect that takes place after dark energy is released from his body in large amounts, unwillingly. He was thinking that he needed a trainer soon or the demon inside him would take over then Makarov said what his was thinking.
"Ikiru, you need to make a decision. If you're not going to join Fairy Tail for ya training then you need to go and find somebody who will train ya before the Demon completely takes over", Makarov explained.
Ikiru mumbled "Mmm". Then he spoke, "I'll decide within the hour".
"Alright then lad I'll leave ya to your rest you'll need it". With those words Makarov left the room.
Looking around the room to see who was there Ikiru noticed Erza stood close to him and asked her, "Who was it who helped me out?".
"Oh, that was me", Ikiru was addressed by a sweet innocent voice which came from a girl with long white hair and a kind smile.
Ikiru thought he recognised her and so he asked her, "Lisanna!?" the girl and the others in the room reacted in shock to this. "Lisanna, is that really you I thought you were dead!?".
The girl mumbled with sadness and then spoke trying to keep a smile, "I'm sorry but im not Lisanna, I'm her older sister Mira-Jane."
"Oh that explains it, sorry about that it must be upsetting".
"No no, it's fine really, anyway I am curious of how you know my sister?" Mira asked.
"Oh well mostly it was just coincidence she kept seeing me a lot when she was out so she introduced herself and when we saw each other we'd say hi, that was about it really", Ikiru replied. "Although I do have something to give you that she gave to me. The last time I saw her she gave me these and said that she wanted to keep them safe until she saw me again, but since the incident I think it would be best if I gave them to you", Ikiru explained all this whilst holding up three closed lockets which were shaped like hearts. Each had its own unique colour, a ruby-red, a shining silver and a glimmering gold that stood out the most.
Slowly taking the lockets from Ikiru's hand Mira softly said, "Thank you". With this Ikiru slightly tilted his head gave a kind smile.
Everybody gathered round Mira as she opened the lockets one by one. The red one first which contained a picture of Lisanna and Natsu stood close together holding a baby exceed in their arms, Happy. The second to be opened was the silver locket which held a picture of the entire guild stood around laughing. The last and most beautiful locket was the gold one which kept a picture inside, it was of Lisanna stood with her older brother and sister.
As a tear streamed down Mira's face she again thanked Ikiru and left to show off the lockets.
A few of the guild members still remained in the room. Ikiru was too busy thinking if he should join the guild or not to pay attention to the people in the room staring at him. Then he remembered that Lisanna had once asked him to join the guild. This made him think more and more about it. He needed to decide so he said, whilst still in deep thought, avoiding all eye contact.
"You're good people."
"Hmmm" Erza gestured.
"You're good people, right? A good guild I mean?"
Erza understood what he was thinking and so she approached him from the side of the bed. Clasping Ikiru's right hand with her own she said "Of course we are".
Everybody in the room reacted shockingly to Erza's actions, then after each their own sigh they smiled at Ikiru.
"I know im speaking for everyone when I say this Ikiru. Please join our guild; join Fairy tail!" Erza explained with glee.
Ikiru looked around the room to see everyone smiling at him. Even the person whom he had challenged to a fight the previous day gave words of kindness and praise, "We could use someone like you kid, young as you are your magical energy is something to behold", the guild member explained referring to the events of the previous day.
"Thanks, but im still gonna think about it for a while longer".
"That's fin... hey what happened to your arm?!" Erza asked cutting herself off mid sentence.
"Oh that was just from this morning it's nothing serious", he replied.
"I thought I saw you this morning", Warren blurted out. "That isn't serious, ok it might not be a serious injury but clearly somebody tried to assassinate you".
"Don't worry being a Demon Slayer I'm used to it, people are always trying to cut me down".
"What just because you're a demon slayer?" Gray asked.
"Well yeah, before the demon was sealed inside me it killed a lot of people and Makarov told you the story didn't he. I psyched out and killed a village full of people. Somebody's bound to want revenge" Ikiru explained.
"So he did hear us", Erza thought to herself.
"But you didn't mean to right so..."
"Whether I meant to or not doesn't matter to them, they want me dead because I killed somebody they were close to. If I had more control over my power it'd be different, but I don't so there we have it", Ikiru explained cutting of Levi mid-sentence.
"Well getting back on topic that's just another reason for you to join the guild you can learn to control your power and with other people around it won't be as simple a task for people to kill you", Erza explained.
"Are you trying to say that killing me would be easy?", Ikiru said in a joking tone.
"Maybe?", Erza replied carrying on the joke.
"Hahaha", Ikiru began to laugh and then so did everyone else even though it wasn't something that should be talked about like a joke.
"Ok then guys thanks for cheering me up but I think im gonna get some rest now", Ikiru said scratching the back of his head.
"Ok then, but make sure you've made up your mind for when the master comes in", Erza told Ikiru as she led everyone out of the room.
"I will have", Ikiru replied laying himself back onto the pillows stood up behind him.
The door was left slightly open. Ikiru could hear the constant chatter through the gap. He could hear everyone having a good time.
He smiled.
But then as the chatter and laughter started to die down Ikiru knew something was wrong.
"Who's that?" he heard through the door. "Watch out!"
Ikiru heard a smash and the door was fully blown open by the wind. He could see out through the door into the main section of the guild hall where everyone was stood still and pink smoke on the floor began to escape through the open windows.
"Damn it, what a time for the master to leave!" Ikiru heard.
Ikiru saw a cloaked man stood near the guild doors with a large sword in each of his hands.
Pointing his right-hand sword at the guild members the cloaked man proclaimed. "Lucy Heartfilia, today I will end your life and take your families riches for my own!" He charged.
Ikiru wondered why nobody was moving then he realised the pink smoke from earlier must have been some sort of paralyzing agent.
A look of horror appeared on the faces of all the guild members as the cloaked man quickly grew closer to Lucy.
"Lucy, move!" numerous people shouted, but it was no use telling her to move if they themselves couldn't, it was futile.
As Erza stood still next to Lucy a look of pure terror took over her face as she stared at the man about to bring down swords upon Lucy. "Don't do it!", she shrieked.
Then a divine wind blew through the guild hall as the door to the infirmary blew off its hinges and smashed against the other side of the hall becoming nothing but splinters. Blood splashed onto Erza's face. She opened her closed eyes trying to prepare herself for the terror she might see before her. Everyone turned to the see.
"Swords can kill people you know that right?" It was Ikiru. Stood with two swords digging into his right arm and blood dripping all over him covering his face. He had protected Lucy. Everyone stood still looking at him in horror. There was nothing but an eerie silence as Ikiru looked directly into the face of the cloaked man with the eyes of a demon.
