"D-daughter you said ?" Makarov asked, surprise of what he just said
"Yeah she already has a seven year old kid. "
"Seven? She leave about eight years ago. So could it be someone from the guild?" He ask as he think of the possible candidate.
"Sorry master but it's a secret as what Lucy said. Oh and I'll bring her to the guild so save those question for tomorrow." And with that, the stellar spirit left the room.
While Makarov is left thinking about the child. As far as he remember, the closest to her were Natsu, Gray and Loke. His head hurts thinking about it so he left the question and set his mind to other things he need to do.
"So what about her?" The guild members ask right away when they saw the group coming towards them.
"..."
"Hey Natsu, what have you heard?" Someone ask but it seems like no one is going to answer so the cat does them the favor.
"We heard that *pause* *sigh* something happen to her." Everyone was silenced by that statement but someone joined in the conversation.
"shouldn't you be glad that she won't be back forever?" Said a girl with short, white hair
"Yeah atleast she won't be back here!" Everyone cheered over that statement while only a few wonder about her being.
"So this is Fairy Tail." A girl said as she roam her eyes around the hall with a short old man as her guide.
"Yes this is. Welcome Inori to Fairy Tail. Feel free to treat it as your home as your parent did." The man welcomed her warmly
"Why should I? Isn't this guild betrayed her? " she mumbled but unfortunately the man next to her heard of it and was saddened by her thoughts. 'I hope she'll open up soon.'
"By the way when will daddy return? "
"He said he'll be back soon, a couple of days at lest." The guy answered and the kid just nod as a sign of her understanding it.
"So feel free to enjoy yourself here and also he had told me that you already know where and what to do to your house so just come here and tell me when you ever need assistance. I should go. Enjoy yourself" and with that, the old man walked away leaving the kid with no idea what to do so she decided to go to the bar counter.
"One chocolate shake, please" the barmaid got her order and went to the kitchen while she wait there patiently as some guild members come to approach her.
"You're a new member right? What's your name, sweetie? By the way I'm Levy. Levy McGarden. This is Wendy Marvell. And that girl beside you is Erza Scarlet." A bluenette cheerfully approach and ask for her name. Wait, Levy she said? I remember her name as mom's best friend. I think I could trust her but 'Everyone turned their backs on me' mom told me that which means even this girl are like them also.
"Yeah and I'm Inori." She said with no trail of emotions on her voice with her mind getting pissed by the slow barmaid and this annoying group.
The barmaid walk out from the kitchen and handed her order, a chocolate shake and she pay for it. She was about to go when the barmaid speak to her
"So your Inori right? BTW I'm Mira Jane. You can simply call me Mira." Ino just nod with the i-dont-care look
"So how old are you Ino-chan?"
"Eight"
"Are you living with someone since you're still young?"
"Yeah"
"Do you perhaps know someone from the guild?"
"Yeah"
"Uhmm, who is it?"
"Enough already. I need to go." She cut the conversation as she have no interest at the very start she decided to just go home and have some rest
The next day Loki appear, a child with light reddish blonde (apricot) come to Mira asking where the master is. She told the girl to sit first while she send someone to go to master to inform him of the girl's visit.
The girl sat down and Mira got a better view of her. The girl had a light reddish blonde at the roots and a lighter shade of it at ends which is tied on a side ponytail with a ribbon, which seems to reach her back if untied. She had a big brown eyes with no emotions in it. She wore a red dress that reaches her knees and a pair of white doll shoes to match it.
She would like to ask the girl about stuffs but the master had arrive in such a haste that she got no chance of doing it as he grab her to tour her around. She watch them going around but all she can notice about the kid is that her face never have any other emotions other than the bored look and a poker face.
Master just toured her around the guild which means she is a new member and the fact that the master have it done by himself means that the kid must be that special or her parents are so she've decided to go to her to interrerogate her and the others also come.
They have fortunately gained answers from her but on there very important question, she take her leave which leave the girls become more curious than they are earlier. They went back to their own business but the barmaid still is not satisfied with it so sh we've decided to trail the girl on its way home.
Good thing that the kid has not notice her hiding in behind the trees and other things that will do and she just continue her long walk to her home but the place that she entered surprises Mira that she had let out a loud gasp that made her cover get blown. Ino turned her head and she saw Mira at the back of a crate looking horrified. She began thinking if what bring her guildmate here but it all end to one conclusion : trail and find more about her.
"What brings you here Mira-san?" She ask with the tone of why-the-f-are-you-doing which was accompanied by a smile that make the maiden to bring back to her senses and send shivers throughout her spine.
"J-just h-happen t-t-o pass by" she stuttered while saying the first parts but have gained her composure after a while
"Oh really? I hope you're not into trailing me to gain more about my personal life 'cause I'm going to warn you beforehand then." She pause for a while to look at Mira to only find the latter was caught off guard. She found those looks hilarious that she wanted to finish it right away to prevent herself from rolling into the groun .
"You'll never want to know me or even cross ways with me before. " and with that, Mira hurried herself to stand up and run as she can. She have to admit that she, known to be a demon before, was threaten by a child. She concludes while running that she'll never talk or even look at her if not necessary with that kid until she heard a loud laugh that turns out to be from the new member. She just continue to run towards the guild being ashamed to be tricked by the said girl.
After the 'conversation' with the barmaid, Inori decided to go to the building as she wants to rest already. She inserted the key into the hole and open it up and push the door open. She take a tour first since she hadn't got the chance to earlier since she is tild to go to the guild after her waking up at about noontime already. There were only a few furnitures yet since they hadn't got the chance to buy some or even unpack their luggages. It doesn't take her long since it's not that big so she headed to the bedroom and jumps off the bed that's sitting by the window and fall into her slumber.
