Chapter 3

"We don't know where we are", Makarov began. "But it's Natsu's fault that we're here."

A cheer rose from the fairies.

"Also, I sent a message via. Warren to blue pegasus and Lamia Scale about the portal. But until help arrives, we'll have to make due with what we have."

"But Gramps, the portal closed behind us." Natsu said. "Now we're trapped."

"And we all know whose fault that is." Grey pointed out.

"Now. We have to befriend the people who are not from our world, after all," Makarov did a quick head count. "33 heads are better than 31. Also, we should gather supplies and food and such. Mira is almost out of food and it's cold and we need wood for fires. Also, Natsu eats fire. And he's whiney when he's hungry."

Makarov set people into teams to go look for things. Okami was on a team with Kurapika, Gon, Killua, Freed and Laxus. This was because each of them could find people. That was their job. Okami had echolocation, Laxus had his sence of smell, Kurapika, Gon and Killua had En. And Freed could cook if they were out too long. They set out around dawn the next morning. They air was cool and crisp, but nobody had time for the admins poeticness. So they didn't care. They walked out of the village, now rubble and into a forest. Okami used echolocation and the Hunters used En, but there was no one. They were completely alone. Laxus couldn't smell anyone either. They continued through the dense shrubbery. Freed had to put his hair in a bun because it kept getting snagged on leaves. By about noon, Okami was hungry. She pulled out her headphones, which Laxus had given her, and ate the music that came from them. An action as difficult to describe as it is to picture. They continued walking until they reached a river.

"If anyone's hungry, I can get some fish", Gon said.

"And I can cook", Freed said.

"Sounds like a plan", Laxus said, sitting on a rock.

"Hey, Laxus, how did you get that scar?" Killua asked.

"You're a lightning witch and you have a lightning bolt scar. Can't be a coincidence."

"Well. When I got the lacrima implant. I was an idiot of a child. My dad was an awful parent. He insisted that I show who I was and I thought it was a good idea. So he cut this into my face. This is a face eye, like Erza's."

"Wow, Ivan sucks", Okami concluded.

"Yeah, he does"

Gon reeled in a massive fish.

"Everyone, shh", Okami said. She heard something. No time for an echolocation spell.

"Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Sound Barrier", Okami whispered. She heard a thud. Whatever it was, hit a barrier of pure sound. Gildarts, being the best fighter, went to see what it was. He came back a few minutes later and told everyone to come and see. When they reached the thing, they found a girl, or maybe it was a boy, dressed in all red, with red hair almost as long as Freed's. She was bound by ropes of lightning.

"Who's that?" Kurapika asked

"I'm Grell", the person said.

"How did you get here?"

"The reaper leader, William, banished me. It's a forbidden love."

"What", Gon said, incredibly confused.

"Nevermind that", Killua waved aside Gon's remark. "You're a reaper?"

"Yes!" Grell yelled. She, Okami was going with girl at this point, was very enthusiastic.

"And you were banished?" Laxus said.

"Oh yes!"

What are we going to do with her? Laxus thought, Okami frowned for a moment.

"Let's put her with Hisoka and Illumi", Okami whispered, but still, everyone but Grell heard her. The majority nodded while Elfman got rope.

"Oh, why thank you", Okami decided not to go into context about what the women was thinking while getting tied up. Why were there so many people with disturbing thoughts(Hisoka)?

Elfman brought Grell back to the camp while Okami, Freed, Laxus, Kurapika, Gon and Killua continued fishing for food. As they walked, Okami took pleasure in listening to their thoughts, they were all quite funny. I hope I don't have to assassinate anyone… Killua thought. He was an adorable kid, but he was incredibly dangerous. I wonder what kind of fish I'll catch! Gon was always such an optimist. I hope the Troupe didn't come here… Kurapika thought. Freed and Laxus were talking, so Okami stayed out of their thoughts, there was invasive, and then there was invasive. Gon caught fish after fish after fish after fish. Happy would be very happy about this(no pun intended). He was a very skilled kid. Hisoka thought so too, but that was unrelated to the current events taking place. Hisoka was not there after all, and he was also a pervert. But that was also unrelated to the current situation. But it was a fact, unfortunatly.

By the time it was dark, Gon had caught more fish than any of them cared to count. Soooo many fish. Killua thought. He was right, there were a lot of fish. (Why don't you help me?)Hauling the fish back was no easy task. There were 6 of them (Elfman had not returned) and more fish than they could count. Freed did what he could to write enchantments to make it easier but there was only so much he could do. Okami's sound was useless. She did not like being useless.

They were back at the camp by dark. Met by a lot of hungry fairies. This was going to be a long night.

Freed and Mirajane cooked and distributed the fish. Natsu ate the fire from the stove, Okami ate the noise of conversation, and Gajeel ate pipes. The rest of the fairies ate the fish.

By the time the noise died down, most of the younger people were asleep, and if they weren't they were tired.

"Sound Dragon Secret Art: Lullaby", Okami said, and everyone who heard her song fell asleep.

"That's some pretty powerful magic", Kurapika said.

"How are you awake?" Okami asked. She continued in her head.

"I don't know", Kurapika said. I used Zetsu, so your spell failed to affect me because I didn't register as a living thing. He said in his head.

"I can hear thoughts you know", Okami said. "So you can't really lie to me."

"Right", Kurapika blushed.

"Whatever", Okami waved the topic aside. "Why'd you choose to stay awake?"

Whatever Kurapika had to say was cut off by the sound of the cieling breaking.

"Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Thunder!", a roar ripped through the room, waking everyone up. Okami snickered as soon as she heard the Lightning Dragon's thoughts. Ahhhhhhh! It's a rabbit! Those stupid, demonic bastards snuck in!

Okami decided against telling the others, Laxus had his pride after all, plus Freed loves rabbits…. So yeah, she kept quiet as the youngest Dreyer ignored everybody's questions. Laxus was trying not to panic while Freed was using an enchantment to restrain Natsu from killing the rabbit. Zeref was crying and running away saying he didn't want to hurt the rabbit, Mavis was chasing after him.

"Zeref", Okami whispered. The lord of darkness stopped. Okami caught up to the immortal and the ghost. "You okay?", Okami asked.

Zeref nodded his head and said "I'm fine"

"Then why did you run away?", Mavis asked.

"I didn't want to hurt it by accident", Zeref explained. "I accidentally killed so many animals on Tenroujima, I don't want to hurt another one."

Okami let the lord of darkness and the ghost sort stuff out while she helped everyone else deal with the rabbit. Levy had classified it as a massive, fuzzy, English Angora Rabbit. So it was harmless, save for it's afinity for vicious licking. Laxus was still terrified. Even though the rabbit was harmless.

"H-how do we get rid of it?", Laxus asked. Only Okami could hear his voice wavering.

"Well, we could use it's fur to make blankets and such.", Mirajane said.

"No! We can't kill it!", Freed shouted.

"I was merely suggesting that we cut it's fur and then, y'know, shoo it.", Mira said.

"Oh. ok", Freed said, grabbing his sword. He used said sword to cut the fuz off the rabbit. Okami then used her magic to scare it off.

"Rabbits huh", She said to Laxus.

"Don't tell anyone.", Laxus responded.

"I won't, I mean, do you know how many thoughts of yours I've heard? And I've never told anyone.", Okami said.

"You won't?", Laxus said. "What have you heard?"

"So many things that you wouldn't want anyone knowing.", Okami stated. Laxus examined his shoes.

"Oh", He said before walking away. Okami laughed, because she loved watching others struggle psychologically. Kurapika approached Okami.

"Hey.", Okami began.

"You can hear thoughts, right?", Kurapika asked

"Yeah.", Okami responded.

"Then what am I thinking of right now?", Kurapika asked.

"Cabbage.", Okami responded.

"Wow. Ok.", Kurapika said.

"Don't doubt me. Anyways, how are you?", Okami knew the answer to this but Mira had told her to improve her 'people skills' so she tried to make small talk.

"I'm good. Your guild can be a bit overwhelming. But Gon and Killua seem to fit in just fine."

"Yeah. I've grown up with these guys, but at times, they can still be a bit crazy."

"Hey, can you choose who's thoughts you hear?"

"Sometimes, if I focus. And I can usually pull one voice out from the others, but, Jellal, and that clown guy…"

"What about them?"

"I can't really tell one voice from the other, although, they have a very different mental process."

"God I hope they do. If Jellal thought the same things as Hisoka…", Kurapika shivered.

"Oh, trust me. Jellal's….. not like that….."

"I figured. But how do you guys plan to get back to whatever world you're from?", Kurapika said. Okami was about to respond but she was cut off by a loud shout followed by a "Man.", Okami turned, and instantly averted her eyes. A wild Ichiya had appeared.

"Your parfum is as lovely as ever.", Ichiya was saying before Jellal punched him square in the jaw.

"Leave.", said Erza. Ichiya posed, sparkling unnaturally.

"Man.", Said Ichiya, changing poses. The Trimans cheered, jumping out from behind Ichiya. Everyone but the Pegusi sweatdropped.

"You heard her! Leave!", Natsu yelled. He was also on fire. That was a habit he had.

"Ma-" Jellal punched him again, this time, knocking him out.

The fairies tied him up in what was now the corner of shame. Oh Jesus, No! Thought Erza. She was hugging her knees and rowing back and forth on the floor.

"W-what, was that?" Kurapika said, he was terrified.

"Ichiya."

"Is he-"

"Part of our guild? No. He's from Blue Pegasus."

"Oh, good."

"Yeah.", Okami finished. They both wanted to talk more, but there was simply nothing left to say. Man thought Ichiya. Ugh why thought everyone. They couldn't hear thoughts like Okami, they just knew. Have mercy on my soul. Erza thought. Even though Ichiya was knocked out and tied up, and gagged. Just calm down Erza. I'll keep you safe from…... That… Thought Jellal. Okami laughed. Jellal heard this and instantly thought stay out of my thoughts! Okami laughed again, and 'kept away were from his thoughts'. She looked at the madness around her. Mirajane was furiously making clothes out of the rabbit fuz, Kurapika was standing, just kinda being confused, the corner of shame was shameful, and Gon and Killua were challenging Elfman to a fight.

"No real man would fight a child!", Elfman was on one of his tangents again. This was not going to end well. Another shout, this time, from Grey. What's going on with him? Okami thought.

"What the frick are you doing here?" Grey yelled.

"I was curious!", Said a voice.

"Lyon?", Natsu yelled, he was on fire again. Okami was just sitting in the corner with a giant migraine by this point. When did this all go to chaos? Probably from the beginning.

Another crash resonated through the the now crowded town. Oh God… Okami thought.

"I can smell Minerva, Yukino, Sting and Rouge!" Natsu yelled.

"That will never not sound creepy." Grey said.

"Where are they?", Erza was talking this time.

"This way!" Natsu was already crawling on all fours towards the reminence of the Hangry Otter.

"Wow, his nose is as sharp as yours!" Killua said to Gon.

"Yeah!" Gon responded.

She then heard a thought that sounded like Jellal, but he would never think that, only Hisoka would… She shivered at the thought. Then Illumi thought something about Hisoka and Okami had to go outside.
