Author's Note: Hey readers! This is the next chapter of 'Truth Seeker'. There really isn't romance in this chapter yet, but I can promise you that in the next chapter, there will be a little fluff between some characters already. Here, I'm just gonna add some drama between Fairy Tail and Blue Pegasus. I mean, there is a reason why I put out them here. I'm sorry if my OC may be taking up a lot of character time in this chapter. But the whole flow will go along with what happens here. So, here it is!
"Blue Pegasus?" Katerina muttered under her breath. Though she was hoping that no one would hear her, apparently Lucy had.
"Yep. We worked with them once. Though I hope that Ichiya won't be the one coming." Lucy shivered just thinking about how that parfum man would be going around Fairy Tail like a mad man smelling each one of them everyday until he was called back to Blue Pegasus.
"Can we know who will be coming over?" Gray asked.
"We will have to see who Master Bob will send over. But I requested someone in particular to come here." Makarov answered, a little grin across his face.
"Well, I better rest now. I'll catch up with you guys tomorrow ok?" Katerina stood up as she headed out the guild.
Katerina walked through the streets of Magnolia. She was hoping to reach Fairy Hills fast in order for her to search for something in her room. Hopefully the cleaners have been keeping her room clean for the past 3 years she'd been gone. Also, she was hoping for another job soon that would take her at least 3 years to complete. Yep, she favored those kinds of jobs as it gave her opportunities to go around the continent. She wanted for one to come that would take her around the world.
Katerina sighed to that thought. How long would it take her again to get away from Fairy Tail? She hated going away from home. But, she also didn't like coming back home.
The day was new and bright as Fairy Tail was once again maintaining it's reputation as one of the barbaric-destroying guilds. The council had already accepted them like they are because of the high success rates from the jobs they are given and from the fact that they were able to defeat a number of Dark guilds including Oracion Seis.
Katerina walked into the guild, this time wearing shorts and another color of her jacket. She still kept the hood up. She passed by the Mirajane if there were any jobs of her type. There were none and Katerina wasn't disappointed. She had just come back yesterday. It would at least take a month to request for a job like that.
She just decided to take a seat in the guild to see if there was anything interesting that was bound to come up. I mean. This is Fairy Tail. Anything can happen.
"Katerina!" Lucy called out as she entered the guild. Of course, the first thing she spotted was none other than the hooded figure sitting by herself.
"Ah. Lucy-dono. Ohayou." Katerina greeted formally and moved over a bit so that Lucy would have enough space to sit down beside her.
"Hey Katerina, I saw that you had somewhat of an expression on your face when the master mentioned Blue Pegasus. Is everything alright?" Lucy asked. She was curious as to why Katerina seemed alarmed when Makarov said 'Blue Pegasus'. Katerina chuckled it off and looked at Lucy at the same time lowering her hood.
"Oh that…" Katerina said scratching the back of her head a little. "Let's just say that I have an issue with a certain member there. I used to be Blue Pegasus before. But I quit there and transferred here." Katerina told Lucy keeping a smile on her face.
"Ah. But don't you feel bad for leaving some of your nakama there?" Lucy asked. How long was this girl a mage? To have been transferred from Blue Pegasus, she must've had some experience to her name.
"I felt bad at first. But, I couldn't make them leave Blue Pegasus. I still love my nakama there. But I just feel bad for having a fight with them." Katerina spoke as if there was nothing bothering her. Although, to Lucy it was fairly obvious that there was a feeling of guilt about leaving Blue Pegasus.
"Well enough about me Lucy-dono! Where's Natsu-dono? You know, I've noticed that you guys are always hanging out with one another! Are you guys going out?" Katerina asked, a little desperate to change the topic. Afterall, it was the first thing she has noticed when she entered the guild. Lucy turned red from the question. This was the first time someone had actually asked if she and Natsu were going out.
"A-Ah! No we're not. W-We-We're just friend that's all." Lucy stuttered at the question, hoping that Katerina would believe her. She heard Katerina suppress a chuckle beside her. Lucy looked at Katerina to have her see Katerina's right eye had changed. It was sort of weird since it had three colors. The outer most color was blue, then going inside it turned green, then finally turning red.
"Ne. You are telling the truth but that's not what you want, hai, Lucy-dono?" Katerina asked. Lucy was totally creeped out by her eyes. She watched as the colors were starting to fade and return to the silver they were.
"Y-Your eyes! They had a strange combination of colors in them!" Lucy reacted so loud that the whole guild turned their attention to Lucy who seemed embarrassed that she attracted the whole guild attention on herself.
"Katerina, Lucy doesn't know about your abilities. It would be best if you told her first before freaking her out like that." Mirajane told Katerina who just scratched her head nodding.
"Ah, hai! Gommen Lucy-dono. I didn't know. And sorry if I freaked you out." Katerina apologized.
"Ah. That's fine. I was just surprised is all." Lucy said in relief as Katerina returned to normal. Her eyes were back to its original silver color. "Katerina, what exactly is your magic?"
"Well… uhm… How should I explain this?" Katerina said as she was thinking of the simplest way to explain it. "My eyes, they change right?" Katerina spoke pointing to her eyes. Lucy nodded, listening attentively.
"I can see the truth with these eyes. My ability enables me to see the truth within whatever people say or do. And sometimes, how they even feel. I can see the 'truth' in an individual." Katerina said in the simplest way she can. Lucy seemed puzzled at first.
'No wonder they call her the truth seeker…' Lucy thought, amazed by what the mage said. Then if her eyes changed a while ago, then she must've seen some truth about Lucy.
"I won't tell just anybody you're in love with Dragneel." The silver-eyed mage spoke which made the stellar spirit mage jump in her seat. Katerina had put an emphasis on 'love' when she said it. Lucy face was red as a tomato. Katerina just smiled at the blushing Lucy.
Lucy then felt an arm wrap around her. Of course, she was surprised and punched the person who did it in an instant.
"Ouch! Lucy! You didn't have to punch me like that!" Lucy heard Natsu's voice in pain after the hard punch she must've given him. Lucy immediately looked at the red area that Natsu now had on his face. It was definitely given by her.
"Natsu! I'm so sorry!" Lucy said caressing his red cheek. Natsu of course was still a little bit annoyed by it.
"Lucy-dono sure like Natsu-san!" Katerina commented at the cute scene that stood in front of her. She and Happy giggled a little with Happy replying with his trademark 'Aye'.
As they were horsing around in the guild, the doors opened. Everyone looked at the people who entered. Looked like their guests had arrived. Three figures stood there tall and smiling. Of course the girls in the guild were already screaming.
The Trimens had entered.
Hibiki Laytis, Eve Thylm and Ren Akatsuki stood there using all their charms for their entrance. Lucy looked at them wondering where Ichiya was. But it seemed like he was nowhere to be found. That made Lucy relieved a bit.
"Looks like Master Bob did accept my request." Makarov spoke as he saw the Blue Pegasus members walk towards him.
"Greetings Master Makarov. We are the Trimens, sent here by Master Bob as the representatives of Blue Pegasus." Hibiki spoke, the effect of his charms seemed to be flying all over the place as the female members of the guild were all screaming. Makarov nodded.
"W-Wait. Master requested The Trimens to come here?" Lucy asked a bit shocked.
Hibiki and the rest looked towards Lucy's direction. Though, Hibiki's eyes got bigger as he saw someone he didn't expect to see.
"K-Katerina…" Hibiki stuttered her name. Katerina looked at him with the same expression. Both of them were shocked. Lucy looked at the both of them wondering what was going on. It was then Lucy realized how much the two looked alike. How could Lucy miss the fact that Katerina looked exactly like Hibiki with longer hair, silver eyes just in a woman's body?
"W-Wait… Is Katerina Hibiki's sister?" Lucy asked. Though when she asked that question, Hibiki's eyes narrowed towards Katerina and the latter did the same thing.
"Katerina." Hibiki spoke again. "I haven't seen you for 3 years."
"Hibiki-nii-san." Katerina spoke with the politeness, the suffix she put with Hibiki's name confirmed one thing. She was Hibiki's younger sister. The whole guild was silenced awaiting for the next move these two would make. Is this the nakama Katerina was speaking about that she still loved back in Blue Pegasus? Her own brother?

End notes: Katerina's eyes. I really couldn't find a description to fit it. If you guys know the artwork of Vocaloid's Matryoshka, then I sort of based her eyes from the style. I just love the art style of Matryoshka! Don't you guys agree? Oh yeah! I would just like to thank my reviewers there, animelover199514 and Angelic Demonz. Angelic Demonz, I tried to follow your tips. THANK YOU SO MUCH! They really helped me. I hope I just don't have as much mistakes in this one as I did in the previous chapter. Sorry if I make mistakes as well here. I did see the mistakes and I'll edit it once the whole story's done.
Romance will officially start in the next chapters! 8D
Aside from that, each chapter will have a certain pairing and the corresponding characters will change due to the chapters. I suggest you add this to your watch.
REVIEWS ARE APPRECIATED VERY MUCH THANK YOU! :)
