Natsu looked to see the guy from yesterday, he was standing with his arms crossed looking at the ocean.
Ayuku looked at the group who were waiting for an answers. She put her hand on her neck cracking it.
"Sorry I'm late. I was dealing with something." Ayuku said
"That isn't what i'm looking for. Who's this guy?" Erza said as he pointed to the slightly taller figure.
"Oh, him? He's Takumi, he said he wanted to come. So, I just accepted. He could be useful." Ayuku said
Why is she bringing him along? We already got off on the wrong foot! This might not end well. Natsu thought.
"Ayuku-senpai, is anyone else coming?" Takumi said with a smile.
'Senpai'? What the hell! This guy must like her... but he looks older. I don't really trust him. Natsu thought.
Lucy came walking toward the bridge. She stopped when she realized Takumi. She kept walking to catch up.
"Well,that's it now." Ayuku said
"Oh! Ayuku I thought you were..." Lucy said
Ayuku didn't answer she just turned her head away from Lucy. She never acted this. I think I know why. Lucy thought as she looked at Takumi. The group got in the carriage and set off. Natsu was trying not to puke.
"I- ugh! Hate carr-mph! carriages!" Natsu muttered
Erza was looking out for trouble as Gray took hold of the horses. Happy was trying to take care of Natsu and Lucy was analyzing Ayuku and Takumi. Takumi had her arm around Ayuku. Ayuku didn't look happy.
"Um... so! Ayuku, Takumi how did you get here together?" Lucy asked.
Ayuku didn't anwser Lucy. Takumi smiled.
"Well, I was begging to come so she got irrataited and said yes." Takumi said.
"Hey, Takumi right. How do you know Ayuku? I'm just curious." Natsu said
Takumi stopped for moment, Ayuku still looking out the window. Ayuku started to get tired of the silence and decided to break it.
"He said he was looking for a guild. He showed me what he could do so I thought he could be good for Fairy Tail. So I got him into Fairy Tail." Ayuku said.
Ayuku looked uncomfortable like she sensed nothing was right. She stood up. And with a serious look on her face.
"They're coming."
"What? Ayuku what is it.''
Just as she said those words the carriage toppled over into a ditch. And muffled chattering. Ayuku looked out the window to see a few men, Natsu regonized them from a LONG time ago.
They were some of Salamander's Men
Great just great, Natsu thought
