hey, its me again... sorry about taking so long since i just started and all but i had some stuff going on so i was unable to update, on the upside i did finally get this posted, so yea, on to the chapter info: I'll be including the use of a made up country in this story, along with its made up language, so instead of fabricating an entire language i have decided to put all rythean dialogue in italics.

also, i do not own fairy tail... in all honesty though, i really wish i did... :p

...unknown p.o.v...
i stood near the back of the crowd with a mug full of beer staring at the two cloaked people and exceeds the girl didn't sound like she spoke Japanese, at least not very well, but her accent sounded familiar she had just mentioned paying the damages as the other cloaked person (who was clearly a boy what with him being shirtless and all) jumped forward tapping the girl on the shoulder "whoa,whoa, whoa, there little sister what are you saying, we can't pay them,we have to leave we already drew to much attention to ourselves" he said in what i new to be rythean. he spoke loudly, probably because he thought none of us would recognize his language let alone speak it.
"no way, we owe these people, i destroyed there wall!" the girl, jinx i think she said her name was, shouted.
"and where do you intend to get the money from, shall we pluck it from the trees we didn't destroy?" he said sarcastically crossing his arms over his chest. they argued more sometime replacing there works with growls and the occasional roar, the two exceeds joined in eventually just as they looked ready to start fighting, one taking jinx's side one the other took the boys, i felt bad for gramps and my guild mates as they stood there confused and sweat dropping as they watched the group of four argue "we don't even know if we will find a job worth the repairs and now we have to by medicine to heal ourselves after all that, were all injured, hell your the worst of us and you still stand here and insist on giving strangers money?" he growled. at that i took a closer look at them all and he was right, they looked bad. i suddenly had an urge to help them, i didn't know why but something was telling me that they need protection. screw it i thought it was gonna come out sooner or later.." hey! you four over there, gramps is a pretty soft old fella, if you asked you could probably take one of the requests in the guild over there and take back more than enough to please the both of you." i said in rythean. the four of them looked at me in shock, so did everyone else for that matter... "Cana! sounded just like those weirdo's over there!" i heard happy shout from somewhere i rolled my eyes at his antics and walked through the crowd. "Well? does that sound better than all of you standing here with your friend there bleeding out? if you want i can ask gramps for you since you don't seem too good with Japanese yet." i offered to the boy. he was still surprised at my seemingly sudden ability to speak his and my own native tongue. he also seemed to be fairly embarrassed for having forgotten jinx's condition and that i had heard all that. "yes, i would greatly appreciate your offer" he said shamefully. i turned " gramps, they would like to pay the damage but don't have enough, could they just grab a request of the board and pay the guild back with that?" i asked. he looked at them then me his finger waving accusingly between the two " you could understand them the whole time?!" he shouted. i smiled and nodded guiltily as he threw his hands up in the air " can anyone else understand them?!" he shouted to the group of fairy's, two raised there hands. " gajeel? juvia? how?!" he asked the two.
"simple really,when juvia was in phantom gajeel and juvia were assigned a long term mission in the country of rythea" juvia said.
" we spent two years there, you kind of just pick it up, its hard not to." gajeel added. gramps sighed and turned back to me
" in order for a request to be taken from any guild than there must be at least one mage from that guild in the team that takes the request for it to be legal." he said. i thought about it for a second..
" I'll go with them" i said shrugging. he looked at me sternly
"your agreeing to be responsible for these people while there into the guild and on the job, representing fairy tail." he said seriously. i didn't even need to look back at them to know what my answer would be
" I'll do it." he nodded to me and smiled at the strangers
" alright everyone, go home! parties over see you all in a few hours! Mira, Wendy could you two please stay to help Cana's friends with there injuries" he shouted causing everyone to start heading home. all except me, Mira, Wendy, charlie, and the group were soon gone so i turned to jinx and her friends
" the master has agreed to you taking a job if i come with you guys, and this is Wendy, Mira, and charlie. there going to help me get you all to the guild to treat your injuries." i said quickly. they all look at me. " what do you mean treat our injuries?" the boy says.
"i mean heal them obviously, how are you supposed to effectively represent fairy tail if you show up looking like you all just got dragged for a few miles behind a magic mobile?" i said jokingly. they don't have an answer to that so instead i motion for them to follow me and the girls back to the guild. jinx manages a few meager stepped before the wide gash in her side made her crash to her knee's. she seemed to be a lot worse than she let on so i walked over and carefully picked her up bridal style, she started to protest but i cut her off. "* it will be easier to heal you if your not half dead when we get there*" i said before starting to walk again. she was actually very light for her body size and her skin was soft but still somehow seemed tough, the places were our skin touched felt like it was charged with electricity. i could feel a slight tremor in her body every few minutes. looking closer i could see her hand was resting on her stomach her nails seemed to be blackened, and her skin had a grayish tint to it. i looked closer at the unusual hue and saw that she was covered in scars, everywhere that i could see skin i saw them, some were hard to make out in the dark others were large and glaringly obvious. i felt sorry for the girl, whatever she had been through to get scars like those couldn't have beem fun. my eyes continued up her body as discreetly as i could manage,( just out of curiosity, i told myself) stopping for a moment at her chest, witch was in no way lacking sexuality, and finally up to the large dark hood she wore hiding her face. i really wanted to see under that hood..

...jinx's p.o.v...
my eyes were everywhere except on the stunningly beautiful girl who was currently carrying me back to the building i had crashed into before. Makarov had called her Cana.. i couldn't help but notice how her skin was so soft on mine or the tingling feeling i felt from the contact... thankfully we reached the guild hall before i went completely crazy.
" its a lot less painful going in places when you use these you know" Cana said jokingly gesturing to the door we were walking through. i heard kierran let out a small chuckle and i glared over the girls shoulder at him causing him to shut up. we walked up a set of stairs into a mostly white room with a ton of beds and a bunch of cupboards over in one corner. Cana placed me down carefully on one of the beds and motioned for kierran to take the one next to me the exceeds each jumped up onto one of our bed too. she then turned to the two girls who had come with us and spoke quickly to them in Japanese, at this point i was dizzy from the amount of blood i lost. i couldn't focus on the foreign words she was speaking but i did notice the small blue haired girl come over to me, followed by the white cat. Wendy and charlie she said there names were. " umm.. I'm going to heal you now, OK?" she said slowly. i was a bit confused but i nodded anyway grimacing as another wave of pain hit me. the girl, after seeing my nod, held her two now glowing hands above the large cut in my side, i immediately felt the painful pressure leave my body as her magic flowed through me. after a few minutes the glowing stopped and i looked down to see that the jagged cut that was previously pouring out blood was now just a large scar that looked as if it had been healed for weeks, i looked at the rest of my injuries from the battle and they were much the same. i got of the bed with slowly, testing my strength to see that that too had been restored. i turned to the young girl and bowed respectfully.
"uhh, your welcome jinx-sama." she said blushing at the attention. my gaze quickly turned to my brother and the exceeds who were being bandaged up by Mira and cana. " why can't the girl heal my friends as well?" i asked cana.
"Wendy's only so good, healing drains her magic power very quickly so we had her do you because you were the worst off" she explained as she finished bandaging rya's arm. she thanked Mira, charlie, and Wendy before sending them on there way to there respective homes.
"so where are you guys staying? i think we could all use a good rest so I'll pick ya's up tonight for the job, if you don't mind working at night that is." she said.
"we don't mind working at night, we're nocturnal anyway. but we don't have a place yet, we were attacked by the Vulcans before we could find a place to crash." kierran said
"we won't be able to stay in the forest now anyway, a few of the Vulcans ran off instead of fighting. we wouldn't be safe sleeping there" vex said tiredly.
"wait, you guys were going to sleep in the forest?" a look of confusion crossed her face followed by an understanding smirk.
"i get it now, you two are faie!" cana said loudly. my blade was out and just an inch from her heart before she even finished speaking.
"how did you know?" kierran said darkly.
"its pretty simple when you think about it, the cloaks, the skin, the language, take your pick. but you obviously haven't found out the way things are in this country yet." she said with a laugh. she was remarkably calm for somebody with a sword pointing at her.
"what do you mean by 'the way things are?'" i questioned.

" i mean that there is no faie oppression in Fiore, this country doesn't enslave people for being different."
she said. no body moved for a moment as this new information sunk in, a place without the oppression.. kierran and i had only ever heard stories of such places when we were young from older slaves in the work camps we had grown up in and here we were wandering around one for almost an entire year without knowing. my katana clattered to the floor and i turned to my brother.
" we found it nee-Chan, we've been searching all this time in the very place we were looking for, we can be safe here." i said breathlessly. he moved forward with a big tearful smile and grabbed me in a big hug, i could feel cana's eyes on us but it did nothing to stop the overwhelming emotions that were enveloping us after a couple minutes of the both of us coming to terms with this amazing reality cana decided to speak. "i know this is a lot for you two, i can respect that.. but all of us still need rest or we won't be getting anything done, you guy's can stay with me, i don't have much room in my apartment but it'll work for now." she said softly.
"that sounds good.*" kierran said, wiping his eyes. "and thank you, for telling us, we have practically been in hiding since we got here in fear that someone would find out what we were and try to have us thrown in another work camp or worse..." he said sadly.
"and I'm sorry about the whole almost stabbing you thing... you did scare us pretty badly there" i said picking my katana up and sheathing it. she looked at the blade as it slid back into its resting place. "that's alright, it was my own fault for not handling the situation properly..*" she said grinning. "* anyways , we should be going it's almost 7:00 am, I've been up partying all night and you guys went and had that disagreement with pretty much every vulcan in magnolia's forest.." she trailed off.
"alright, lead the way miss cana." kierran said jokingly with a grand sweep of his hand towards the door. cana laughed as she exited the room with the four of us following behind. we went back down the stairs and she lead us out another door which must have been the front entrance and we began walking down the street. cana's apartment was only a few blocks away, on the way there we asked her about fiore and how she knew rythean, it turns out she was from rythea herself but she had traveled here when her mother died to meet her father but after finding out that he was a powerful mage she was to intimidated to tell him she was his daughter, she spent years trying to become more powerful in the hopes she would then have the courage to tell him the truth, she eventually did and they have had a decently stable relationship since. she also asked us more about ourselves like what type of faie we were and how long we had been in fiore, we told her that we were hybrids, much like our adoptive fathers, our father had been a kithe (faie that have the characteristics and abilities of a feline) and our mother was a demon she wasn't that surprised since we had taken down our hoods and she could see our black eyes and unusual finally arrived after about a ten minute walk. once she unlocked the door we all filed in and found ourselves in an average size living room with light green walls that had a few paintings of landscapes, a black leather couch and two recliner chairs on either side of it. there was a wooden coffee table in front of the couch and a t.v. lacrima sat on the opposite the couch.
"alright, the exceeds can each take one of the recliners" cana said walking into the hall and opening a door that revealed a bunch of shelves, she grabbed a few blankets from the top of the shelf and walked back handing the to exceeds blankets leaving her with one left.
" and you two can take the bed, it'll fit two people comfortably" she said.
"where will you sleep then?" kierran asked.
"the couch."
"on my honor, i can't take a women's bed from her, I'll take the couch, you two can share." he said seriously. cana started to disagree but he grabbed the blanket and hopped onto the couch, i saw the him give me a knowing smirk before he rolled over and promptly passed out. the exceeded had also chosen there spots for the night and fallen asleep leaving cana and i awkwardly standing in the dimly lit room. she was about to go and wake him up to continue the argument. "don't bother it would take an earthquake to wake that idiot up " i said grumpily. she found out i was right after several pokes to various parts of the body that did nothing.
" alright.. i guess we're sharing a bed then" she said. i noticed a slight blush cross my face as she motioned for me to follow her down the hall and hoped she couldn't see it in the dark. that asshole.. i thought as i followed her into what was apparently her bedroom. he set this up.. why am i even feeling like this, it isn't like me at all, I'm calm cool and collected when it comes to women, or men for that matter, why am i freaking out now?! "-umm.. jinx? hello?" i heard cana say.
"sorry, what did you say?" i said realizing t i had zoned out for a minute.
"i asked if you wanted to borrow some pj's since i think we left your guy's stuff at the guild."
"yea, sure." i said. she walked into a smaller room that turned out to be her closet and came back with a black pair of fluffy looking shorts and a black tank top with a white sheep jumping over a fence on it. i just looked at her .
"what, its an adorable little sheep.. i couldn't not buy it..." she said defensively i smiled at her cuteness and took the offered clothes. " i'm gonna change in the closet since there's plenty of room, you can change in here just tell me when i can come out." she said walking back into the closet and shutting the door behind her. i quickly undressed and wrapped my clothes in my cloak and set it on the floor to the side of the room then i put on the tank top and the shorts, i had to let the shorts sit rather low on my waist so that i could let my tail out, kierran and i had holes in our clothes so we wouldn't have to worry about stuff like that but i didn't think cana would appreciate me butchering the clothes she had so kindly lent me, it was probably for the better though anyway because these shorts were extremely short having them low gave me a few more inches to try and hide some of my modesty under
"i'm done in here." i called out. the closet door opened and cana entered with pretty much the same out fit i was wearing except hers was white with a multicolored smilie on the tank top. i couldn't help but notice that she hadn't worried as much about her modesty since i could easily see a fair bit of ass as she walked over to the light switch. i felt the heat rise to my face, did it get hotter in here? i wondered to myself.
"are you gonna get in the bed or would you prefer i carry you again?" she said with a smirk, she had somehow managed to be standing right in front of me even though i could swear that she was just across the room..
" umm..." i said intelligently as i gazed into her lively violet eyes.
"well i guess that was my answer." she said laughing then before i knew it she scooped me up and carried me over to the bed, placing me down gently on one side and walking around and climbing in her self on the other side. "i could have walked." i said flustered.
"yea, probably..." she giggled before stretching out and yawning. i muttered about crazy mages for a minute and settled down myself and drifting off into a comfortable sleep.
