Chapter 3
Levy cleared her throat and clapped her hands together, breaking the silence "Anyway, let's go Lucy-Chan! I wanted to check out that beautiful beryllonite key!" She shouted while tugging Lucy back to the guild's table. Levy took a seat on the bench and started flipping through the ancient pages with a concentrated look on her face.
After a few more moments of flipping through the pages, the blue-haired girl let out an "A-Ha!" and ran her finger down the page.
"Lucy! Look!" she said with a proud smile. Lucy took a look over her shoulder and rested her eyes on the title.
"Gate of the Hound; Honshū" she read out loud. Oh great another dog. I wonder if this one will just be a giant version of Plue. She imagined a giant Plue stepping on her and shivered. "I sure hope not" Lucy thought.
"Loyal and obedient to all masters but extremely rabid on the battlefield; take caution to stay out it's path when in a frenzy" Lucy paled. Oh god, what kind of spirit is this? But Natsu on the other hand was ecstatic.
"Oh-! Let's summon em'! He sound's pretty cool!" Natsu grinned but then pouted saying "Unlike that loser pig!" Lucy frowned and took a look at the illustrated key, the key originally looks like it's made from sapphire but she heard Levy say it's made from beryllonite but the key's shaped like jackal's head and the symbol looks like a 2 thin triangle pointing downwards. It's a beautiful key, none of the less.
"Come on, Lucy. It won't kill us" exclaimed Gray putting a hand on my shoulder. "We'll how would you know you, damned exhibitionist!" Lucy thought sourly. She nodded though, hesitantly and brushed off his hand to stand up. She fumbled with the Celestial Chest's lock and grabbed the blue key that she saw in the drawing. She then took a stance in the middle of the guild and repeated the words that she read in the leather-bound book.
"Open Gate of the Hound; Honshū!" Lucy whirled her key around and in a gigantic blast of light a monstrous animal stood before her.
This spirit was no ordinary dog; he was a freakin' beast. This animal was almost as tall as the guild itself and had pure white hair, black nose, sharp black claws, pointy teeth that could probably rip out bones, a wolfish tail, red eyes, and oh yeah; two heads.
The two-headed canine let out an ear pounding howl, shaking the entire guild hall. Almost every mage got ready in fighting stance but Lucy was quick to reassure them and that he wouldn't hurt them. The hound looked at Lucy with a blank expression then suddenly, the two heads bowed down to her feet. Lucy blushed at his formality.
"My-" "Lady" the two spoke, finishing each other's sentence. They said it so perfectly, that you would have guessed they practiced it. Lucy waved her hands in the air saying things like "N-No! J-just call me Lucy, please" or "No need to be so formal!" with a smile.
"As you please-" "Lucy-sama" they spoke once again. The blonde mage sweat-dropped "Close enough" she thought.
"Your named Honshū, right?" Honshū's two heads nodded. Lucy grinned up at canine, right before Natsu knocked her out of way and pushing her onto the floor. She fell with a "thump!" and a "Natsu!" but the dragon slayer ignored her, instead he grinned up at the double-headed dog.
"Well welcome to the family, Honshū! You're so cool! Much more cooler then that dumb-ass pig!" Natsu exclaimed happily at the dog. But Honshū did not look happy. This annoying pink-haired kid comes up to him and calls his fellow comrade a "dumb-ass" while hurting his soon to be master. Honshū simply glared down at the boy with a stare that could make Erza weep.
"Watch your-" "tongue, boy" the hound said with obvious superiority. Natsu immediately shrunk down and ran to hide behind the Erza, who was peacefully talking to Mira about the mission she had just returned from a day before. Lucy let out a laugh that felt like music to the guild's ears and soon everyone was laughing, all except Natsu. Honshū watched her with amused eyes and a small smile. When she was done with her mini laughing fest, she looked up at her new spirit to see him watching her.
"Lucy-sama we would" "be pleased to have you as a master" they said together. Lucy brightened up at those words. She hugged the two dogs on their muzzles.
"Don't be ridiculous! I'm you're friend, not master" the two heads smiled softly and she mimicked. The giant dog told her what days he was free and disappeared in a bright light. Lucy then stalked off toward Levy.
"Who would have know you where so good with dogs, Lucy-Chan!" the book-worm exclaimed. Lucy looked a taken back but recovered.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that" she said with a small grin.
This is my first story so sorry if it isn't that good! (What can I say? I'm a nervous person!)
All my OCs have weird names because their names are related to their animal's in some way. XD
Oshōgatsu is Japanese for New Year! (I'm like 89% sure)
I had a lot of idea's for the dog spirit but I ended up basing it off of Kiba and Akamaru's Combination Transformation from Naruto!
It was almost based it off of the dogs that Izumo can summon in Blue Exorcist
