Family

Chapter One

Here's the next chapter! I know her name hasn't been mentioned again, but that will be in the next chapter. Please tell me what you thought about it, thanks! And thank you for reviewing and following this story, it really makes me feel accomplished, knowing I'm not writing this for no reason! Thanks!

I do not own Fairy tail, I only own the plot, and my characters! (That is, unless someone else wrote with this plot without me noticing.)

X O X O

A lone girl stands on the outskirts of Magnolia with a frown forming on her face. A Fairy Tail wizard known as Salamander has been causing trouble all around the country with his destruction power. He's been destroying everything in his path; nothing is stopping the him. She's been going around retracing his steps and helping the cities recover, but she's had enough. She knows he isn't doing it on purpose, so maybe she can talk him into thinking more before attacking. She looks up at the sky and notices the sun setting and nods silently to herself. It's time for her to return to her camp and rest. If the rumors about Fairy Tail are true, she's going to have a huge problem tomorrow.

She walks back into the forest and yawns quietly, stretching her arms over her head and walking down a nonexistant path. She just arrived to the area earlier today, but she's in her natural element, Earth. She can remember the slightest difference, so she rarely ever gets lost. Much to her embarrassment, though, she gets lost easily anywhere else. Expecially cities.

She stops in front of a small clearing and smiles, gathering up some wood and creating a fire. She's used to the cold nights, but she has to cook something for her to eat. She walks over to her bag and pulls out a can of soup and opens it up with her can opener before pouring it into a pan and holding it over the fire, waiting for it to cook.

After eating her dinner she tenses up, listening to someone walk around the woods with the branches cracking under their feet. She puts the bowl down and quickly puts out the fire before standing up and glancing around the area, frowning. She can't tell if this is just a random bystander, or an enemy.

She hears a thud a few minutes later, making her eyes widen. Whoever it is, they just fell, or they are trying to lure her towards them. She couldn't just let the person die out in the forest, they most likely had family. And she doesn't know if it's a innocent person or not.

She sighs in defeat a few minutes later and heads towards the direction she heard the noise carrying a flash light with her. She steps over the roots and rocks scatter all around the forest floor before stopping in front of a figure who is laying on their stomach. She kneels down in front of moves the hair, noticing it's a male with orange fiery hair with blue sun glasses covering his eyes. He has on a green jacket with the hood lined with fur, a orange shirt with a design on it she can't see, black pants, and dirty white sneakers. She gently strokes his face to make sure he's breathing before standing up and grabbing onto his arm and pulling him up. She's going to have a problem carrying a male taller than her to her camp, but she has to get him to her first aid kit. She leans down and wraps her arms around his waist before straightening up, struggling to stay up with his extra weight on her. He is by no means heavy, she's just not physically that strong.

She starts to walk back towards her camp with his legs dragging slightly behind her. She couldn't lift the male all the way up, but she's carrying him as best as she can. She already knows she's going to have to undress his upper body to look for wounds and most likely wash him. Fortunally, she's smart enough to camp out near a river to get the water, but far away enough to avoid other travelers.

She arrives at her camp and gently lays him down in the grass before rubbing the back of her head and glancing down at him nervously. She hasn't talked to many humans before, and she doesn't really know if it's safe enough to leave him alone to get the water. She scratches her forehead gently before smiling softly and whistling, calling her animal friend. A bird swoops down and lands on top of the female's shoulder, gently rubbing his beak against her cheek, making her laugh softly.

"It's nice to see you too, Naru." She says softly to the bird, stroking his head, "I need to get water for this human, do you mind watching him for me? I shouldn't take too long." The bird, Naru, tilts his head to the side and glances down at the male before nodding his head once, making her smile and pat his head happily. "Thank you, Naru!" She whispers before pointing to a tree and running towards the river with two empty buckets.

She returns shortly after with the buckets filled to the top. She places the water down in the grass and yawns, rubbing her eyes sleepily. This wasn't part of her plan, but she has to clean his wounds before he gets infected. She slowly pulls him up in a sitting position and takes his jacket off and pulling his shirt over his head. She glances down at the male's naked upper body before blushing and looking away. She is a teenange girl, and she hasn't really had any other human contact in the past few years because of her intense training. Sure, she met the elder people and younger kids, but she rarely talked to anyone around her age.

She pulls out one of her old white shirts and dip it into the bucket of water, letting it absorb the water; she then begins to clean the dirt, mud, and blood off his chest. Naru watches his friend careful, eyeing the teenanger guy with a glare. He will not let his friend get injured, and he'll be sure she can't. She gently pulls him closer to her so she can clean his back before her gray eyes widen from surprise. He has a green Fairy Tail stamp in the middle of his back, making her groan in disbelief. It's just her luck, running into a Fairy Tail wizard when she's suppose to be scolding them for all of their chaos.

"Naru, can you bring me the bandages?" She asks her bird, listening to him flap his wings towards her bag. Naru unzips the bag with his beak before searching through it and picking the badages up with his beak before flying over to her and dropping it in her hands. She smiles and nods her thanks before unwrapping it and wrapping up the male's injuries before laying him back down. Unconciously, the strange male wraps his hand around her wrist and pulls her towards him; the young female blushes and squirms while his arms tighten around her, trapping her in his hold. "I guess I'm stuck here," She mumbles, lightly glaring at the male and sighing. She couldn't overpower him, and she knew that by just looking at his chest. He has muscle, and seems to be a pretty good wizard. She closes her eyes and readjusts herself to get a little more comfortable before falling asleep in the male's arms, hoping she wakes up first tomorrow morning.

He opens his eyes slowly, glancing around his surroundings in surprise. He doesn't remember passing out, but he obviously had too. He flexes his fingers slowly before blinking in surprise and glancing down to his left, staring at the strange female in his arms. "Okay, what the hell happened?" He asks himself, closing his eyes and trying to remember.

"You're awake, finally." A girl says, breaking him out of his thoughts, "Do you mind releasing me then?" The male smiles sheepishly and removes his arms, holding his hands up in the air.

"I'm sorry," He apologizes smoothly, sitting up and placing his hands over his stomach, "Do you mind me asking where we are?"

"We are in the forest surrounding Magnolia; you are currently in my camping area, too." She answers, walking over to her bag and pulling out new bandages. She walks back to him and blushes lightly, "We need to redress your bandages, sir."

"The names Loki," He introduces himself chuckling. He definetly met a strange girl, that's for sure. "Mind telling me what you're doing way out here?"

The female simply ignores his question and starts to unwrap his bandages. Her small, petite hands press down gently on his chest, trying to test how painful it is. Surprisngly, Loki just shifts uncomfortablely and winces every once in awhile. Whatever medicine she gave him, it did a great job. He blinks behind his sun glasses and stares down at the girl curiously. He can't see what her overall apperance looks like, but her black cape covers a petite, small body with a hood up, covering her face from his view. "Heh, how unfair is this? She sees my chest and I don't even know her eye color." He thinks to himself, not realizing she finished.

"Let's go, Loki." She informs him already standing up with her bag slung around her shoulder, "You are heading back towards Fairy Tail, aren't you?" She tilts her head to the side while glancing back. He nods and gets up, throwing his shirt back on and throwing the jacket over his shoulder. "Be careful with your wounds!" She grumbles turning on her heel and heading towards the town, "Naru, you behave yourself, okay? If I need any help I'll whistle."

She sighs loudly, llistening to the male next to her flirt with her shamelessly. He doesn't even know her name yet and he's acting like a total player.

"Loki, what would you do if I told you I'm a twelve year old?" She asks him suddenly, intruppting one of his pick up lines, making him stop and stare blankly down at her.

"You can't be nine years old, beautiful." He declares firmly, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer to him, "How about I take you out to lunch, my treat?" He asks gently, his breath brushing against her face.

"No, Loki. I'm going to bring you back to your guild and talk for a little bit before leaving." She grumbles, pinching his arm, and pushing him away from her. "You don't even know my name, so please stop it. We are almost to your guild, anyways." Loki frowns slightly with her rejection while rubbing the back of his head.

"You do realize you'll be surrounded by mages, right? Don't you want me to protect you? I am your knight in shining armor, after all!" He tries again, mentally chuckling, she's a hard one to break, so maybe getting on her nerves will give him permission to take her out to dinner. She ignores him, again, and contines to walk down the streets. They were able to get into the city fastly, thanks to her knowing the forest around them, but know that they are inside the city she'll have some problems.

"Here we are," Loki mumbles, opening up the guild's door with a sigh. She really didn't tell him anything about her, and he's said quite a lot about himself. He waits for her to enter the building first before shutting the door behind and nodding towards the guild members.

"Loki, are you okay? Your shirt has so much blood on it!" Mirajane, a beautiful, young mage with long snow white hair and blue eyes mumbles, rushing towards him with worry shifting in her stomach.

"I'm okay, Mira, really." Loki assures her with a small grin, "She helped me heal up, the wound is already gone." Mirajane glances down to the mysterious girl besides her and smiles.

"Thank you for helping Loki, how about I make you lunch for a thank you gift?" Mirajane asks, watching the girl curiously, "I'm Mirajane, by the way, a pleasure to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too, Mirajane," The mysterious girl greets before shaking her head, "I'd rather not burden you, I'm just making sure this... mage made it back to his guild." She glances around the room, trying to find the Salamander. "Actually, could you introduce me to the infamous Salamander?" She asks innocently, glancing up at the older female.

"Hey! What do you want Natsu for?" Loki asks, crossing his arms over his chest, "You were with me for the whole night, obviously I'm the better looking!"

"I'm Salamander," A male with salmon spikey hair, tan skin, and dark green eyes say walking up towards her with a big toothy grin, showing off his dimples. The girl looks over at him and quickly looks down, trying to hide her blush. What is up with all these handsome men all of the sudden?

"Rather known as Natsu here though, right?" The female asks after her cheeks stop blushing, "I was actually wondering if we could talk to each other?" Natsu raises his eyebrow curiously before nodding and grabbing a hold of her hand, pulling her out of the building with a flying blue cat going after him.

"Ouch, Loki, that must of hurt some of your pride," Gray Fullbuster says, walking up to his friend and patting his back, smirking, "You just got ditched by a girl, for Natsu of all people." Loki glares playfully at Gray and slaps his hands away, making Gray chuckle. It was quite amusing. "You don't think she's going to declare her love to him, do you?"

"She better not," Loki mumbles crossing his arms over his chest and sulking at a table with Gray sitting across from him.

"What just happened?" Lucy Heartfilla asks, staring at Erza in confusion.

"I honestly... have no clue." Erza Scarlet admits, shrugging. She glances down at her cake and grins, nibbling on it happily. She could care less with what they do, as long as they don't mess with her cake.
