Hey everyone, WaitingGermanluver1 here! I am really excited about this Fanfic and I have a lot of good ideas so please bear with me. So without further adieu her is chapter 2 of Kurogane and the Mouse.
When Jikken woke up the next day she found herself engulfed in warmth. She was confused at first and just thought she fell asleep near some sort of heater, so she snuggled up to the warmth. But was shocked to not find the coolness of metal but the hardness of what felt like well toned muscles. Jikken opened her eyes, but instantly closed them when the sunlight blinded her, her eyes soon adjusted to the morning light. When she looked up she was met with the face of a sleeping man, causing Jikken to gasp. But she soon remembered her encounter with Kurogane last night and how strong and kind he was. Jikken took this time to take a better look at the older man, she noticed his body was adorned with piercings including one she didn't see last night on his stomach. His body was muscular but covered in scars, the child traced the scars that ran up his arm 'I wonder where he got this' she thought.
"You done examine me now mouse?"
The dragon slayers gruff voice pulled Jikken out of her thoughts, she instantly removed her hand from his arm. "I-I'm sorry" she whispered out, "What'cha apologizing for mouse, you ain't done nothing" he said, slowing opening his red eyes. Jikken looked up at the man and nodded, but she soon yelped when he lifted her off the bed and made his way downstairs to the kitchen. "Kurogane, where are we going?" she asked meekly, "To eat breakfast what else?" Jikken nodded. "Do I get breakfast too?" she asked, causing Gajeel to stop in his tracks. "Of course kid, I don't know how you were taken care of before, but in this house everyone is equal" Jikken was then placed on Kurogane's shoulder. "Even little mice like you" Jikken stared at the man in awe and nodded happily "OK."
After the two and Lily had breakfast, Gajeel told Jikken that they were going to his guild. Jikken was confused at first but soon became excited when she head that was were he worked. Jikken kept squirming on the couch while she waited for Gajeel to get dressed, he soon came out of his room fully dressed and ready to go. "You ready little mouse?" he asked, said girl nodded vigorously causing the dragon slayer to laugh. Jikken took his huge hand in hers and ushered hi out the door followed by Lily. As the three walked down the streets of Magnolia they talked about various things like likes and dislikes which made time go much faster. Gajeel even let Jikken ride on his shoulder after she kept tripping on the end of his long dress shirt, this surprised the little girl at first but she soon smiled and wrapped her arms around his head. The two were so engulfed in each others company that they didn't notice they already walked into the guild and that all eyes were on them. That is until Master Makorav came down from his office and approached the two.
"Um Gajeel?"
Said dragon slayer looked at him with a slight glare, "Yea?" Master coughed awkwardly and motioned towards the girl on his head. "Who might your friend be?"
Gajeel scoffed and placed Jikken on a nearby table, "Master this is Jikken, mouse this is the master of my guild" the little stared at the short man meekly. "She's cute, is she your child Gajeel?" "Yea, you could say that" The master nodded and sat down next to the little girl. "Hello Jikken" he gave her a big smile that made her flinch, "My name is Makorav, by any chance do you want to join the guild?" he asked. "D-Does that mean I can stay with Kurogane?" Jikken asked shyly, "Of course my child!" Jikken's eyes suddenly lit up. "OK, I want to join. If that's OK with Kurogane" the little girl looked over at her some-what guardian. "Do whatever you want kid, just don't do anything stupid" Jikken smiled widely and hugged the dragon slayer's waist. "Thank you Kurogane" Gajeel gave her a grunt and patted her head awkwardly. Master Makorav gave Gajeel an approving nod as if saying, 'You've done good.' Gajeel just scoffed and looked away from the master, his ears red with embarrassment.
So what do you think? Please review and all that good stuff and I can't wait to post the next chapter. Witch PS. will have a lot of drama.
