I've decided on the official pairing for Miyuki, but I'm a bit conflicted between the two I have it narrowed down to. I will guarantee you all that it will not be a Natsu x Miyuki, or atleast that is not my plan. I realized while reading back through the original something that I could do, and I will likely follow that idea. I hope you all liked the first remastered chapter and will continue to read the new and "improved" story. I'm probably only going to do these little snip bits at the top as an update sorta thing for the story such as things I want to share like pairings or how the following groups grown :D, and yes I do check regularly to see who's joined in. But with that said I'm going to start it up.

Chapter 2
(Miyuki's home: Five days after her Arrival) (Miyuki's Pov)
I was glad to finally be back in the Guild. It had been a year since I'd left to see the world. I was currently in the inside open bath that was installed in the house. The steam from the bath had always been a great way to relax from the stress that builds up, not to mention that the bath in general felt amazing.
Over the past few days, I had caught up with everything that had happened recently. I was amazed about all of the things that had happened over such a short period of time. Natsu had no less that deleted a portion of clover from the map, Gray had found his teacher's second disciple Lyon trying to revive a demon, Erza had confronted Jellal at the tower of heaven only to figure out that Jellal and Siegrain were the same person, Juvia and Gajeel had been enemies to the guild because of what happened with phantom lord but were accepted, and finally before the Fantasia parade Laxus had attacked the guild and was forced into exile. I had no idea that any of this was going on, but I had heard a few snip bits of news here and there on my travels about Fairy Tails involvements.
I looked down into the water examining myself before I stood up causing small waves to move across the surface and splash. I turned around and stretched as I made my way into the changing room that separates the bath from the other sections of the house. I enter the room looking around for the wall with small cubby holes that you could store your clothes in before you entered. I take my clothes and get dressed preparing myself for what was to come. Master Makarov had told me the day before over a lacrima transmission that he would have important news today when he returned from the guild conference.
"Well, I better get going before I'm late for the meeting at the guild. " I say happily as I walk out of my front door and began to run down the street in the general direction of Fairy Tail.
(Later that evening) (Narrator)
Surprisingly it wasn't till much later that Master had returned; but as soon as he did, he had gone to take his seat at the bar where everyone could see him. He had gained everyone's attention immediately as he entered the room because they all knew that the news that he carried would be extremely important. After taking his seat he looked around to make sure that he had everyone's attention and then proceeded to start the guild meeting.
"We will be joining a coalition of guilds to aid in the apprehension of the Oracion Sies, one of the major factions of the Balam Alliance. " Makarov stated leaving the entire crowd speechless. Each of them knew the severity of the situation. The Balam Alliance were nothing short of a group of terrorist guilds that sought nothing but destruction for those that opposed them, and they were certainly not pushovers like those in Eisenwald.
"Master, I understand that this is a very important assignment, but who will we be sending to the Coalition? " She questioned wondering who will be participating in the upcoming battle and asking the same question on everyone's mind. Master Makarov, who was sitting at his normal seat at the bar when he announced the news, looked up and had a puzzling look on his face showing that not even he had entirely decided on who to send. As he thought of who he was going to send, he examined every face in the guild looking for those that he likely thought would be the most likely to accomplish the intended goal. After a minute or so, He looked down at the person who asked the question and stood up then proceeding to clear his throat as he was going to speak.
"I think the best people for the job will be: Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and you Erza. " Makarov announced proud of his decision. "I will also ask that Miyuki accompany you to the mission site. Team Natsu will listen to her as if she was the guildmaster while on this mission, am I clear. " Everyone started cheering knowing that the mission would likely be a success with that team but at the same time they were serious and offered the best of luck to the team. And soon after that, a brawl started over some profound reason. During the commotion of the brawl, the team was able to slip away to begin preparations for their mission and this included walking to a house shared by three of them.
"I still can't believe that you live with Natsu and Gray, Miyuki. How do you even manage that by the way? " Lucy asked showing her genuine shock over what she had been told a few days ago. Miyuki kept walking beside Lucy and started thinking about it.
"I guess I've never really thought about it. I'm not at the house that often, so those two keep it in order, I guess you could say they're a bit afraid of what I'll do if they destroy our house. Another thing is that it's like a small family. there will be a bit of chaos, but it's very nice to live with someone else. " Miyuki responded. The answer satisfied Lucy causing her to smile a bit understanding the feelings the younger girl spoke of. The two had somewhat lagged behind the other three, but began to catch up to where Natsu, Gray, and Erza were.
"I have another question though, Miyuki. " Lucy stated trying to get everything about the girl in order in her mind.
"ask away. " Miyuki said smiling at the blonde. It had been a while since someone had been so interested about her, "I'll try to answer as best as I can. "
"why did master say that you would be seen as if you were the guildmaster while on the mission? " Lucy inquired confused about the odd way Makarov had specified the missions details.
"Oh, I don't really understand it all too much. I guess he trusts me to make good decisions while on the mission. " Miyuki answered shrugging off the question.
"Erza, did you eat something bad? " Lucy asked causing everyone to look at Erza only to see her with a pale face.
"nothing I was just remembering something that happened quite some time ago. " Erza said shaking the very uneasy feeling while remembering the time that she spoke of.
(Flashback) ( Note to readers. Erza is about 11 and Yui is about 9 Natsu and Gray would be about 10)
Erza had been very impatient today. Nothing what so ever was happening and it was boring the girl to the point that she just wanted to fight someone. She didn't want to just beat down someone like Natsu or Gray because that'd just be mean and they were weaker than her. She looked around the guild looking for someone that she could possibly spar with, until she found someone that looked like she could go toe to toe with. After finding her target, she made her way to the bar where Makarov, Gildarts, and a black haired woman all sat and were currently discussing some topic that she couldn't wrap her head around.
"Master, who is that person sitting over in the corner with the silver hair? " a much younger Erza asked causing Makarov to look in the direction the corner that Miyuki was. After finding where she was talking about, he looks back to Erza hoping that the young "tomboy" wasn't planning what he thought she was.
"That's Miyuki, " He begins to explain, " She's very shy and quiet, but she's a nice person. " Erza looked back at where Miyuki was sitting.
"Is it ok if I spar with her? " Erza asks excitedly really wanting to fight someone. Makarov sweatdrops looking to the two that sat with him hoping that they would stop the redhead before someone got hurt. The two just exchanged glances with one another smiling a bit.
"I'm sure that she'd love to spar with you Erza. Just make sure that its fine with her first. " Gildarts said rubbing the redheads hair. Erza looked up at Gildarts smiling before she ran off in the other girl's direction.
"I'm not sure if that was a good idea Gildarts. What if she gets pushed too far? " Makarov questioned the strongest members of his guild.
"She needs to start making friends with the new children who are joining. I know she's very good with Cana, Laxus, and Levy but she needs to come out of that shell of hers. " Gildarts stated trying to help the girl in a way. Gildarts had a smirk on his face as he watched the energetic redhead zip all the way to Miyuki's Table, "If anything gets out of hand I'll step in. Don't worry so much about it. " He said before looking back at the woman had been silent about the topic the entire time.
(Over at the table in the corner.)
"So what do you say. " Erza said done issuing the challenge. Her opponent sat there looking at her.
"Are you sure that its ok? " The small silver haired girl asked in a quiet tone looking up at the redhead.
"Master said it was ok, as long as you accept. " Erza replied enthusiastically. With the final comment Miyuki looked up at Erza glad that she was finally going to be able to play with someone.
"I'll accept your challenge then. " Miyuki told the redhead. Erza looked very happy as she ran back over to Makarov and told him that she accepted. The five of them made their way outside followed by the younger group of the guild. The younger group consisted of Laxus, Cana, Natsu, Gray, Lisanna, Elfman, Mira, and Levy. The Group took a seat on the hill to watch the fight while Makarov and Gildarts were down on the flat area behind the guild refereeing the match.
"are the both of you ready? " Makarov asked as he looked between the young girls that were about to start their fight.
"Yeah, I'm ready master. " Erza said drawing her sword. Miyuki looked at the sword examining every fine detail of its craftsmanship. The sword didn't exactly look like the sharpest tool in the shed, but it was very well maintained by its owner.
"I'm ready as well. " Miyuki responded while not moving an inch from her initial position. The children there couldn't really tell, but Miyuki was watching every minor movement Erza made whether it be her breathing or her foot moving forward.
"You may begin when you wish then. " Makarov yelled bringing his hand down in a karate chop style signaling the start of the match. His words echoed for a second followed with Erza charging Miyuki thrusting her sword forward as to try and gain an early hit. However, Miyuki stepped to the side letting Erza charge passed her. Erza stopped right where Miyuki had been standing and swiped her blade to the side in another attempt to hit the younger girl. It was amazing to those watching, the younger girl of the two dodged the other's attacks with ease, not allowing a single blow to land on her.
"Why do you keep dodging. " Erza asked getting frustrated at how Miyuki was only running. Miyuki just looked at her and tilted her head questioningly.
"Carbuncle. " Miyuki says with a bright light blue light appearing beside her. This light began to take shape into that of what many would say is quite an adorable creature. It was a fox with light blue fur that matched the color of the light that it came from, but the most noticeable features of the creature were the ruby gem on its forehead and the three tails that it swung around
"Carbuncle, chase. " She adds causing Erza to stumble a bit as the fox ran at her. Carbuncle was clearly the faster of the two of them and easily caught up with Erza. When Carbuncle caught up with her, It jumped at her in an attempt to distract its prey from Miyuki which had picked up a very large stick that was similar to a quarterstaff in the way it was shaped.
"Get this thing away from me! " the younger Erza was screaming as she was swinging her sword trying to keep Carbuncle from jumping at her. She was so preoccupied with the fox that she didn't realize that she had run herself directly in between her opponent and the fox.
"I got you. " Miyuki says gleefully as she boop'd Erza on the head gently with her large stick. Erza was taken back by what she said as she was previously running for her life from the strange thing that her opponent had brought to the fight, "Good girl Carbuncle! " Miyuki said running around Erza with the fox jumping into her arms.
"What just happened? " A very confused Erza asked as she dropped to her knees. None of the others would notice this, but what Erza saw was not that of a fox but that of a large hideous beast similar to that of a minotaur. The creature known as Carbuncle was known for being a trickster and very good and altering a person's perception through illusions.
"Well it appears that you just lost. " Gildarts said picking up the sword that Erza had thrown to the side in the scare of the moment that Miyuki reappeared.
"Waaah, but I can still fight. " Erza said as she took her sword back from Gildarts.
"It isn't whether that you can still fight or not, but that of would you be able to still stand if Miyuki had hit you full force and actually used her familiar to actually harm you. " the black haired woman stated from Gildarts's side. She had her right arm hooked inside of Gildarts's and was looking over at Miyuki, "Isn't that right sweetie. " She added directing the comment from the young girl. Miyuki perks up at the sound of a very important voice.
"Yes ma'am, I didn't want to hurt Erza. " She answered looking down in a way that she looked almost ashamed that she didn't 'fight' by what they considered normal.
"Erza, this is why I wanted you to ask her before you went off and challenged her. I saw at least three different times that I knew she noticed that she could win. " Makarov said walking to Miyuki's side, "But I believe that you both did a wonderful job. If you continue to practice, you two will be some of the strongest mages the guild has ever seen. " He added causing both of the girls to look up with glee filling their faces.
(quite some time later: inside the guild)
The group of children had settled down from the spectacle that was Erza and Miyuki's fight earlier. Currently Laxus and Miyuki were sitting off to the side, but weren't really saying much. They never really did if you paid much attention to them. After a while though, Laxus spoke up.
"You did a good job earlier. " He said breaking the long silence that the two had. He had placed his hand on her head and rubbed it a bit as he talked.
"Thank you big brother. " She replied in what those around them would describe as an extremely happy tone. Most of the older guildmembers knew that the two considered each other to be siblings, but even they thought it was a bit weird how much she loved to be praised by her "big brother".
"It's not every day that I get to see my little sister show off her stuff. We might have to have a little sparring match sometime to see how much I can see. " Laxus joked causing somewhat of a blush to appear on Miyuki's cheeks, but you could also see that she was a bit upset by the comment.
"I can't fight big brother though. I don't wanna. " She argued back causing him to look down at her with a smile still plastered on his face.
"Yeah, Yeah I get it. I was only messing with you, sis. No need to get so worked up about it. " He said as he put his hand on her opposite shoulder and pulled her into his side.
( END OF FLASHBACK )
By the time Erza snapped back to reality, they had reached Natsu, Gray, and Miyuki's house. The house was on a street that was right beside the river. The outside walls of the house were similar to that of Lucy's house. As they walked in, there was nothing all too special about the house, but it was definitely more spacious that Lucy's apartment. There were stairs leading to the second floor in the hallway entrance where Natsu, Gray, and Miyuki's rooms were. To the left of the entrance was a living room with a kitchen connected to it located to the right of the doorway entrance to the room. You could also access the kitchen from the hallway. On the right of the staircase was another room that was considered the guest room that somehow stays clean. Further down the hallway on the right was the indoor bath that was pretty spacious if you asked anyone. It was one like you would find at a hotel (in anime's or manga). The interior walls were colored basically the same as Lucy's apartment, but the walls and general house was decorated with some pictures of the three and other random bits of décor.
"Wow, your house looks so nice. " Lucy said because she had never been to their house. "I bet you guys have to pay a fortune for rent. " she ended laughing. Natsu and Gray turned around and looked at her questioningly.
"What are you talking about Lucy? " the two asked. Lucy looked at them and then came to the realization.
"WAIT, YOU GUYS OWN THIS HOUSE! " She practically yelled. Everyone had to cover their ears because it was so loud.
"Yeah, I figured it was better to pay it off all at once rather than have to keep paying over and over. " Miyuki answered walking through the front door of the house and immediately taking off her shoes at the entrance.
"You'd be surprised of how much we all saved up for it too. " Gray added remembering how much they saved. "and in all honesty it was probably the best investment we've ever made. " he said as he walked into the living room taking a seat on one of the couches and resting his head letting it sink into the cushions.
"I remember when you guys were saving, but if I remember correctly Miyuki paid for the majority. " Erza said sitting on the other couch that was on the other side of the room from the one that Gray occupied, " Do you remember how much you paid Miyuki? " Miyuki looked at her confused about how much she had paid towards the house.
"I have no idea the only thing I remember is that we got our money's worth for it. " She answered smiling as she plopped down right beside Gray and soon joined him in the enjoyment of the furniture that occupied the room. They had all finally moved to the living room when Natsu and Lucy took their seats. Gray, Miyuki, and Lucy sat on the couch, in that order, across from Erza and Natsu on the other couch.
"So, we can agree that we'll stay here until we're called to go to where the coalition is? " Erza asked falling victim to the comfortableness that was the soon to be the team's headquarters, if she stayed much longer.
"I don't see why it'd cause any issues. You can stay until then if you want, or you can go to your own place. It'll be sort of like a sleep over. " Miyuki said clapping her hands together in excitement. The group started playing around and having fun with the assorted board games that the house contained. Soon, they were too tired and they fell asleep where they were. The last one to fall to the inevitable slumber was Miyuki.
She had gotten up to clean everything up so that all of the pieces of their games were in order. By the time that she had finished cleaning, only streetlamps shrouded in darkness could be seen from the windows. She made her way through the four other bodies that littered the living room to the one she wanted to sleep next to. She looked around the room to see that Natsu was being used as a pillow/heater by Erza and Lucy wasn't too far from it either. Miyuki, however, had no intentions of using the Fire dragonslayer for a pillow or a heater tonight. She had her eyes on a much different person. It would be a bit chilly if she would follow through with where she planned, but it wouldn't bother her at all. To her, His body was warmer than any others in the room, and she wouldn't swap him for anyone else. Well, except maybe for her big brother.
She looked down on the couch to see that Gray had sprawled out taking up the entire couch. She couldn't help but smile seeing the sleeping ice mage's face. She moved the pillow that he had his arm wrapped around and wiggled herself into its place. Miyuki was facing Gray's chest and looked up at his face as she wrapped her arms around him so that she wouldn't fall in the night.
"Good night Gray. " She whispers as she looks back into his chest while nuzzling herself into it. Soon after, she falls into her blissful slumber.
