A/N: Hi everyone~ Here's the second entry for Hachibukai and Fiamatta Montague's Writing Challenge C: I was actually done with the story like, a few weeks ago before test week has arrived -,- But I lost the file. So I rewrote it. And lost it again mind you. So please, do not blame me if I lost my motivation after those hours of hard work TT_TT
Thank you for all the support of the first time :) I changed the title as you noticed, which is Of Love Quotes, Shadow, and Celestial Keys, ehehe, sorry for the long title ne?

He decides that his first impression on her is that she is the cruelest girl he has ever met in his entire life.
He might as well make it the cruelest girl living in this world.
One that can beat Kagura.
Which is a truly surprising thing.
Because Kagura Cheney is a Sting Eucliffe (Who is arrogant) added with a devil (That is the devil out of the devils).
Which means that the blonde girl he met is way worse than Sting and Kagura.
Well, that proves him wrong.
Meaning that Kagura Cheney was the devil, before he met her.
He finally realizes his little sister is not that bad.
Perhaps just moody, but A LOT better than that blonde devil.
.
.
Fine, just slightly better, okay?
And people say that the first impression isn't always true. That person might actually be the complete opposite of what was our impression on them at first.
He doubts that. Because he simply can't imagine a ditzy smiling happy Lucy Heartfilia.
He slouches on his black leather couch and decides to take a short nap which he knows would soon be disturbed by a certain devil.
And no, he means the BLACK-HAIRED devil, not th-
"ONII-CHAN!"
And he is right, once again.
His little sister barges in his room without KNOCKING when he clearly put that freaking 'KNOCK-FIRST-BEFORE-ENTERING' sign on his door and decides to ignore that huge sign and stomps as she makes her way towards him.
And he shivers in fear when he sees that her normally dull, black eyes are now shining expectantly, which sort-of-kinda-maybe makes her sorta cute-
Oh.
She finally raises her eyebrow.
Which shatters that unnecessary cute image (He shudders in disgust) that has decided to pop out in his mind.
At least she's back to normal now.
"So what did Lucy Heartfilia say?" She demands expectantly, crossing her arms in a bossy fashion as she repeatedly taps on her wrists as if she has a watch there, meaning she expects that information here, and RIGHT NOW.
Without any delay.
He sighs lazily, and is about to speak before something clicks in his mind.
And he could only curse silently.
He finally remembers that he did NOT discuss anything concerning that matter with Lucy Heartfilia because right after he glared at her, she had laughed at him causing him to snap and stomp out of her office with an annoyed expression.
And damn it, he is NOT supposed to lose his cool.
He face-palms himself, and does not care that Kagura's sharp, piercing, black eyes are narrowing every second, and a seething glare has formed on her porcelain face.
"What?!" She snaps impatiently, "So what did she say?"
It's just his luck that he has a bossy little sister no? And why did she has to be so freaking FRIGHTENING? Just what on earth had he done on his previous life to make him deserve this devilish creature?
He stares back at her, and beads of sweat forms on his face and trickles down to his chin.
He's not yet ready to be killed.
Kagura leans in closer, and inspects his face closer, frowning at his expression, "Judging by your looks, I'm guessing that you didn't talk to her."
Crap, why does he have to have a mind-reading little sister?
"And because you flinched, it is now confirmed you didn't talk to her."
He winces, and nods, confirming at the statement.
"WHAT?!" She screeches, and stomps the floor childishly, "YOU SERIOUSLY DIDN'T TALK TO HER?!"
He flinches at the loud sound, "Y-yeah."
Silence.
.
.
She takes a deep breath, and heaves a loud sigh, as if intended. The black-haired little girl slowly calms down (Thankfully) and motions an index finger at him, as if he is the culprit of a case (which is sort of true).
"You," She narrows her eyes threateningly, and every second feels like hell to him, "Are going back to her to ask for the love advice!"
"Why sho-"
"NOW GO!"
He sighs, before walking outside his room, and no, he is not escaping. It is just an act to...
.
.
Simply save his poor ears.
Okay, it technically means the same.
But seriously, what happened to his previous fighting title that he had received, the 'Shadow Dragonslayer'?
Damn it.
He is definitely going to be humiliated.
He just prays that his blonde of a best friend doesn't know about this.
"A shadow dragon slayer beaten by his own little sister,' A(n unpleasant) snort was heard.
"Shut up Sting," He growls deeply.
The source happens to be (As mentioned before) from Sting Eucliffe (Who he could not believe that he was his best friend) who is standing on his wooden floor, and he is pretty sure he doesn't hear a doorbell and no one could have opened it seeming his parents were at work and Kagura had been with him.
"How did you get in anyway?" He grits his teeth.
"The window," The blonde relies easily, jabbing his thumb towards the window.
He stares at the wooden window, then at him, then at the window again, then at him once again, and sighs.
.
.
"You admire Natsu-san too much."
.
.
"At least I'm not beaten up by my own LITTLE SISTER," The blonde retorts.
.
.
"...shut up. You don't even have one."
.
.
"..."
.
.
.
.
He finds himself staring at the freaking wooden mahogany door.
Yet again.
And he isn't happy about it.
Because he doesn't enjoy anything about going inside that blonde maniac's office.
Except for the cool air conditioner.
That's it.
Yup.
Deciding to get it over with, he opens the door and-
"Ouch!"
Dejavu.
Ugh.
The blonde girl who is in front of him rubs the bump on her forehead gently.
He grits his teeth.
Just great, he feels guilty now.
"S-sorry," The blonde demon mutters, and he is sure she hasn't seen his face yet, thus an explanation for her polite act.
And she finally looks up, and blinks her big chocolate brown eyes at him.
"Oh, Rogue right?" She smiles politely at him, "I'm sorry for my clumsiness," And bows to him.
He raises an eyebrow.
Why was she this polite?
Had she felt guilty for teasing him?
.
.
Whatever, he decides. It didn't really matter did it?
But seriously, could it be true?
Could she really actually be not as bad as his first impression on her?
Could he have mistaken it?
Could she really have been a shy, sweet girl instead of that devil image in his mind?
Is it true?
"It's fine," He mumbles, keeping a straight face. And determined to not break his facade at all.
Silence.
"Well, come on in," She smiles pleasantly, and gestures him to come in first.
He blinks in surprise.
Okay, he's getting suspicious.
"You shouldn't hesitate, just come on in," The blonde flashes a sweet smile at him.
"Okay?" He says, unsure at her invitation, but decides to just go inside.
She shuts the door gently, before turning around to face him, now looking completely different.
Why?
Because she has a freaking smirk on her face.
"So, Mr. Onii-chan~ How I may be a help to you?" She sings happily, a big, wide grin on her face, and pinches his cheeks, before laughing.
He blinks in surprise, and doesn't move.
"You look so cute~!" She giggles, giving another pinch on his cheek.
What the hell? He frowns.
Noticing his frown, she stops dancing around, and without hesitation, she bluntly says:
"The principal was there before."
.
.
.
.
.
.
Blink, blink.
"Oh."
Damn it.
He should have known she won't be that nice to him.
"Afterall, it's simply just impossible for me to be that polite to you right~?
.
.
And once again, she's correct.
"So now, Mr. Onii-chan, you're here to finally get that love advice no?" She grins cheekily.
He creases his eyebrows. Is there now two mind-readers in his life?
"I figured that you would come back," She explains easily.
"How?" He couldn't stop his mouth from saying that.
.
.
"Because you're afraid of your little sister right?" She smirks slyly, "Mr. Shadow Dragonslayer-nii-chan?"
.
.
Twitch, twitch.
He was hoping that no one would know about it.
.
.
Seems like Lady Luck was not on his side today.
.
.
He decides that his first impression of her doesn't change.
Nope.
And probably never will.

A/N: Ehehe, how was it? :D I'm slightly disappointed at it, but I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the challenge in time. And this wasn't proof-readed, because I haven't found a beta-reader, I hope I will soon. :(
Anyway, this just came to my mind.
I hope it isn't disappointing for anyone :C
