Lisanna wanted to leave without making too much of a fuss. She wanted to leave peacefully, in a way no one would notice. Unfortunately, Gray ended up telling someone and one thing led to another. That's how Mirajane ended up walking side-by-side Lisanna, to try and reason with her.

"I told you Mira-nee, that I love the guild. The guild isn't the problem, it's myself."

"Are you sure you're alright? I can go shopping with you if you'd like, just like we used to." Mira replied with her signature warming smile. Mira always had a smile on her face. Lisanna liked that part about her sister. The way she is always able to smile, and everyone likes to be around her because of that.

"It's fine," Lisanna said as she suddenly stopped walking. Lisanna was smiling, but it wasn't sincere. She just didn't want her sister to fret over her, when she didn't have to. Mirajane suddenly took Lisanna by surprise, unexpectedly. Mirajane reached out and hugged Lisanna, and Lisanna was embraced by her warmth.

"Jeez Lisanna," Mirajane stroked her hair, like a puppy. "You planned on leaving without saying much of anything… I know when something is bothering you." Mirajane stopped hugging Lisanna to look her in the eyes. It was as if her eyes could filter out any truth, and the lies she might of added, would be revealed.

Lisanna knew they were family, as much as anyone else from the guild was. So Lisanna exhaled a long sigh, before nodding her head. "Alright," she finally gave in. "I'll tell you."

It all started when she saw Natsu in Edolas that day.

The compacted feelings she held for him, deep down. It was when she returned home to Earthland. Lisanna was finally able to hug Natsu in the flesh. Seeing Happy there, was an added bonus too.

When she hugged Natsu, she noted the surprised look in his eyes, as if it was all a dream. Perhaps it was a dream… but not for Natsu. It was for Lisanna. To be able to embrace him once more, but only to remember that Natsu was always close to Lucy. They always spent their time together, and Natsu even went as far as to go to her home for visitations.

Lisanna knew it at that moment. She had adapted a venomous jealousy towards Lucy. It made her ashamed, but she couldn't help it. She still reminisced over the days when they raised Happy together. It was an everlasting moment that she thought would continue on forever. Of course, all good things come to an end.

Lisanna had never confronted Natsu about her direct feelings that she had for him, but one day at the Grand Magic Games, she tried to. However, the feelings he showed for her then… she knew that would only be expressed towards Lucy. Lisanna didn't even hate Lucy either. She didn't hate anyone at the guild for that matter. But moreover, that feeling she held in her heart, of being replaced, kept resurfacing in her mind.

Lisanna couldn't help but watch them in the guild. They always looked like they were having fun. Whenever Lisanna tried to suppress her feelings, it only grew stronger, and much more fierce. She had to pretend that she was the compassionate Lisanna they all knew and loved, while in the midst of her heart, she despaired.

Many times, Lisanna thought about admitting her feelings to Natsu. However, what would that do to Natsu? The aftermath of it all would be unfeasible. That would only place a burden on him, all because she was being selfish. So, she didn't. Lisanna kept doing jobs, and singing along to some of the many songs that they sang in the guild. But deep down, she knew that she couldn't share the same happiness with the guild, no matter how hard she tried.

Presently, Mirajane had listened to Lisanna's entire story with intent. She hadn't spoken or interrupted her once, until it was over. Lisanna had nothing to say either, so they stood in awkward silence, but Lisanna was crying. She hadn't told anyone before, and having expressed how she had felt, she had broken down.

Finally Mirajane spoke, cutting the silence that had befallen them. "Lisanna, you dummy." Once again, she hugged Lisanna where she stood. Except only this time, she was comforting her, allowing Lisanna to mentally collapse, letting her sob even louder than before.

After a while of this, Lisanna finally calmed down. Her tears stopped flowing, but Mirajane was still hugging her. "Thank you Mira-nee," Lisanna whispered as she hugged Mirajane back, lovingly.

"Why didn't you tell me this sooner?" Mirajane asked Lisanna, somewhat sad that she didn't unload her stress to her, earlier on.

"I didn't want to tell Natsu, because it would have been a self-centered action."

Mirajane sighed, "I know how close you were with Natsu, I understand that," Mira began. "Although, even though Natsu might not feel the same, what stops you from reliving those moments that you shared with him?"

Lisanna was puzzled by this. She didn't know what she meant, but she was sure that she was going to get an answer soon enough.

"You are a member of Fairy Tail, aren't you?" Mirajane's words stuck to her, like glue. She knew she was right. Just because she wasn't getting her way, doesn't mean that she had to give up on everything. She had her family, which was Fairy Tail. Not just Natsu.

"Mira-nee," Lisanna paused, unsure of how to reply, but she knew that Mirajane was right. "Mira-nee, you are right. Just because I can't go on ahead to relive those moments with Natsu, doesn't mean I should stop living for him." Lisanna smiled, "I have to live for myself."

Mirajane finally released Lisanna from their hug, as if it was because she had chosen the right words. "Mhm, you should have always been living for yourself, to fight for a cause you believe in." Mirajane smiled, as if she knew that Lisanna would have come around eventually.

Lisanna knew what she wanted to fight for; Lisanna wanted to fight for Fairy Tail.

Alright, and that's all for chapter two! You might be thinking that this is over, based on the way I had ended it. However, I can assure you that it's not.

I've still got a long road ahead of me before this ends.
