Fairy Tail Demon
Me: Chapter 3 already!? I swear, I'm on a roll! It's gotta be those plot bunnies!
Takuma: I'm not really sure what plot bunnies are but okay…*Starts mumbling to himself again* Rune, I'm sure that they're not edible…No, I'm not gonna ask if we can eat them anyway…Will you shut up already!?
Lucy: Why are you writing a fan fiction about a schizophrenic wizard? Not that Takuma is all that bad…*Gives Takuma a small apologetic smile* But it's kind of a weird thing to write about.
Me: Why not!? I think it'll make the story more interesting!
Takuma: I'm not schizophrenic! I just have a demon that won't be quiet!
Lucy:…Okay then…well…KaitoPhantom1412 does not own Fairy Tail or any of the characters besides Takuma/Rune!
Takuma: *Murmuring to himself* Shut up, Rune! I'm not making plot bunny soup!
Chapter 3
Lucy went ahead into the village to collect the reward while Takuma decided that it was best if he wasn't seen by any of the villagers. Natsu stayed with him, not really caring about the money anyway. Natsu and Happy were talking to each other as if Takuma wasn't there. Seeing this as an opportunity, he tried to slip away. Natsu grabbed him around the shoulders, grinning a big toothy grin.
"You can't leave yet! You have to meet everyone else first!"
Takuma sighed and pulled his hood over his face. "Damn, it's bright out here! I really wish that I could be back in my cave!"
Suddenly, a guy with dark blue hair stepped out from behind some trees and punched Natsu! "Flame Brain! Don't go running off without the rest of us!"
"I'll do what I want, Ice Princess!" Natsu yelled back. The two teens were practically butting heads together.
"Carla, we should do something to stop this! What if they cause a lot of damage?" A small girl said as she ran up to the group, accompanied by a tall woman with long red hair and a white cat very much like Happy.
The woman spoke next. "I've got it." She walked up to the two fighting guys and grabbed both of them by the back of their shirts. "What do you two think you're doing? We're here to take care of a demon, not level a forest."
"Don't worry about it, Erza! Me and Lucy already took care of it!" Natsu replied. Erza glared at Natsu for a moment before letting them both go.
A sophisticated voice piped in. "Are you sure? I sense something dark nearby." Everyone turned their attention to the white cat, who had spoken.
The small girl, who couldn't be more than 12 years old, answered. "Are you sure you're not imagining it, Carla? I mean, if Natsu and Lucy really killed the demon, then it can't possibly be that."
Takuma spoke up, his voice almost quiet. "It's probably just me. I'll just be going then." Takuma turned away and saw Lucy standing right behind him.
"No way! You're coming with us! There is no way you're going back to that cave to be alone!" She turned Takuma back around before continuing. "Everyone, this is Takuma Rune. He's coming with us to see Fairy Tail."
The guy that had punched Natsu stepped up to Takuma. The guy was now shirtless and only wearing his boxers. "My name is Gray Fullbuster. I'm an Ice Mage. It's nice to meet you."
"Um, it's very nice to meet you too." Takuma turned to look back at Lucy and whispered. "Is it normal for guys to go around half-naked now?" Lucy blushed deeply and shook her head furiously.
"N-No! That's just Gray! Anyway…" She gestured towards the tall woman, eager to change the subject. "That's Erza Scarlet! Be careful not to get on her bad side." Next came the small girl. "And that's Wendy Marvell. Both her and Natsu are Dragon Slayers." Wendy gave Takuma a small wave.
"I hope that we can be friends! If you need anything, don't be afraid to ask!" Wendy replied, smiling cheerfully.
"Wendy, you don't know anything about this boy. Make sure not to be too friendly. I don't know why but something's not right about him," the white cat criticized. Takuma laughed nervously, making the she-cat aware that he could hear her.
"Don't worry about Carla," Lucy said. "She tends to be like that. I'm sure she'll warm up to you eventually."
Takuma nodded silently. "Fairy Tail wizards sure are weird." He thought to himself.
"Why don't we ditch these losers!? Oh yeah…they captured you. Wait! I know! Why not let me talk to them!? I'm sure that I could get them to let us go!" A dark voice echoed inside Takuma's head.
"Shut up, Rune! I can take care of myself, thank you very much!" He mumbled back. He looked up to see everyone looking at him with various expressions. Gray and Erza looked at him like he was crazy. Wendy looked concerned. Carla looked even more uneasy. Lucy looked nervous. And Natsu and Happy looked like nothing had happened. "Well, now that I've met you all, I'm going now…bye!" He gave a small smile before trying to run off again.
"Nope! You still have to meet the rest of the guild!" Natsu smiled widely, grabbing Takuma and putting him under his arm again.
"How many of you are there!?" Takuma couldn't help but ask. It looked like he'd never get back to his life of solitude at this rate!
Natsu thought for a moment. "Too many to count but there's a lot! Come on," he exclaimed as he turned to lead the group. "Time to get back home!" Everyone followed closely behind.
Takuma sighed. "I told you that you should have let me handle it!" Rune teased.
"Shut up, Rune! Nobody asked you anyway!" Takuma murmured back. He was sure that he probably seemed like the biggest weirdo out of all of them.
Me: Well, it's not the best chapter that I have ever written and I might edit it later but…it was actually kinda fun!
Takuma: *looking slightly depressed* Now everybody thinks that I'm insane or something…
Me: Yeah…but in a way, you kinda are.
Takuma: Why did you include Rune? Those conversations are private!
Me: Because it made it more interesting. Why else would a person include something in a story?
Takuma: B-But…I…*at a loss for a comeback* Shut up!
Me: That seems to be your catchphrase…I like it!
Takuma: I don't have a catchphrase! *silent for a moment before murmuring* Shut up, Rune! I'm not stubborn!
Me: *laughing* There's that catchphrase again!
*Takuma opens his mouth to say something but closes it a moment later*
Me: Please make sure to review! It really boosts my confidence when you review and gives me the motivation to keep writing! If you have any ideas for the story, please let me know right away! Honestly, I'm actually behind in Fairy Tail (just got to the S-Class Wizard Exams) so I'm doing the best that I can with what I've seen so far! If you notice anything that doesn't make sense with the characters or that I got something wrong, please let me know right away! Thanks so much for reading! You guys are great!
