Okay so I guess I'm not doing a really good job with this whole "I'm not sure I'll be able to post chapters frequently" thing….. heheheh….. But I just had so much free time this weekend and I was so BORED that I had nothing to do but write and my brain was going "WRITE! WRITE! I HAVE THIS IDEA AND THIS ONE AND THIS ONE TOO!" And so… Here's chapter three hahaha.
Disclaimer: All recognizable characters and material belong to their rightful owner, which is sadly not me at the moment but I have plans…. *cue evil laugh*. My characters are mine though! And my mistakes are mine alone as well. *sheepish grin*
Anywho!
Enjoy and I'll seeya at the bottom!

Previously on Dragon's Heart
"Everyone, let's pack up and head out. We need to hurry if we want to make it back to the city in order to catch the train." Erza ordered. Kaia and Natsu groaned and smacked hands over their mouths and stomachs at the mere mention of a train.
"But…." Lucy whimpered as everyone dispersed to either go back to bed, satisfied that their crops were now safe, or pack up to head home. Leaving the celestial mage there to pout. "My rent money….."
Now…
"I never thought I'd see the day when someone got sicker than Natsu from riding a train….." Gray muttered as he hauled a nearly passed out Kaia out of the train station. Natsu was standing up at least, albeit with Lucy's help, as the nausea faded, but Kaia was still down for the count. Erza was forced to knock both of them out as soon as they stepped foot on the train because both got sick right away. Both woke up half way through and decided they'd rather suffer the queasiness rather than be sucker punched by Erza again.
"It is a little strange. I didn't think any person could ever puke that much. I doubt even Troia would work on Kaia." Lucy mused as she nudged Natsu's arm into a better position across her shoulders. He groaned as he leaned against her.
"Well I'm sure Natsu's been on more train rides than Kaia. I think that in all the time I've known her, which is since my birth, that she's only even ridden the train twice. And I had to drag her off both times. This'll last for about fifteen to twenty minutes longer. Then she should be good." Rose said as she walked next to Happy.
"Yeah, Natsu's ridden the train lots of times." Happy chimed in.
"Mainly because I can't move and the train starts back up to make the round trip journey." Natsu moaned.
"Can we all just….. Not talk….. It's hurting my tummy." Kaia whimpered quietly as she tried to calm her revolting stomach.
"Kay, just don't puke on me. I can barely afford to replace the clothes I lose normally." Gray muttered.
"What clothes? You aren't wearing any you droopy eyed stripper." Natsu insulted weakly.
"What'd you call me you slanty eyed bastard!?" Gray snapped.
"You heard me you exhibitionist!" Natsu snapped as he leaped over to fight with him. Two fists shot out and hit Natsu and Gray in the jaw. Gray tumbled back and dropped Kaia to the ground where she groaned and rolled to her side to curl into a ball.
"What the hell?" Gray huffed looking at the person who punched him. Kaia glared up at him.
"I told you…. Your talking was upsetting my tummy worse." She moaned as she pressed her cheek to the ground.
"Sorry." He muttered. "We're almost to the guild hall so we can get you some water to drink. I won't talk for the rest of the trip, promise." Gray muttered as he bent to pick her up. Kaia moaned in pain at the twist it caused in her stomach and Gray winced, silently praying that she didn't upchuck on him.
"Gray, make sure you don't lose your underwear please." Lucy whispered quietly. He looked down and went to curse but Kaia's slight moan interrupted him.
O~O~O~O
When they entered the guild hall Juvia rushed over to greet Gray but stopped when she spotted the girl he was holding princess style.
"No!" Juvia wailed. "Not another love rival! Juvia can't handle this! First that Lucy bimbo, then Lyon, and now this girl! Why do you crush Juvia's heart so mercilessly Gray-sama?" The water woman bawled.
"Oh my." Mirajane gasped when she saw the girl Gray was carrying. She rushed over to Gray to ask what happened but before she could they all explained the situation of Kaia.
"We brought her back because she wants to join Fairy Tail." Gray finished. "But the train ride left her in pretty bad shape." He said as he laid her on one of the benches that were unoccupied. Kaia groaned and fought back the acid rising in her throat.
"Is there anything I could get you?" Mira asked.
"Water would be a god-send." Kaia mumbled weakly.
"Coming right up." Mira nodded before rushing to go get her a glass. When she got back Gray helped Kaia to sit up and Mira handed her the glass. Kaia gave a thankful smile before raising the glass to her lips and swallowing its contents faster than Cana could chug her barrel'o booze.
"Holy cow, you must have been really thirsty." Mira giggled as she took the glass.
"Thanks, I'm feeling better already." Kaia smiled as she gained a little of her natural color back.
"You're very welcome. I'll go get you another glass." Mira smiled.
"Um…. Could I get something bigger than a glass, if it's not any trouble that is! I don't wanna put you out or anything, in fact never mind I'll stick was just a glass!" The bluenette rambled. Mira giggled.
"It's no trouble at all. I'll get you a big bottle, how about that?" She smiled.
"That would be wonderful." Kaia blushed and hid her face with her ridiculously long hair.
"A big bottle it is. I'll get the master as well." Mira smiled.
"The master?" Kaia asked in confusion.
"So he can decide if you become a part of Fairy Tail or not." She shrugged.
"Oh…" Kaia nodded, biting her lip nervously. Mira placed a hand on her shoulder.
"You don't have to be nervous. I'm positive that you'll be my guild mate in no time." She assured her. Kaia smiled brightly and the hope shining in her blue eye made Mira smile wider.
"Really?" She asked.
"Of course. I'll go get your water." Mira said patting her head before heading to the bar. Kaia grinned hopefully and looked around at the people that were going to be her new guild mates with any luck. She frowned when she noticed Lucy sat across the room looking dejected.
"What's wrong with Lucy?" She leaned over to ask Gray. He glanced over at his blonde friend and shrugged.
"Probably just bummed because the reward money we were gonna get was gonna go to her rent." He said. Kaia's frowned deepened.
"So…. It's my fault that she's worrying about rent money? I mean you guys gave up the reward so I was free to come back with you." She mumbled, feeling guilty.
"Aw, c'mon it's not your fault. I mean you were the reason for the job in the first place." Gray tried to offer the bright side.
"But you still gave up the reward to make sure I was free to go." She muttered. Gray tried to think of a response when Kaia jumped to her feet with a determined expression, startling the poor mage.
"I swear, I'm going to get into the Fairy Tail guild, find a high paying job, and give the money to you guys to make it up to you!" She exclaimed.
"Oh, that's not really necessary!" Gray said quickly. Kaia looked down at him with fiery determination that rivaled Natsu's.
"No. I swear on my life I'll make it up to you guys!" She nodded as if to confirm her own resolve.
"Well, I like your determination." The master's voice made Kaia jump with a yelp of "Kya!" as she whipped around to face the small man. Master Makarov looked at her and Kaia stood firm before him as he inspected her.
"I hear you gave our strongest team a bit of trouble." He said. Kaia fidgeted nervously and gulped.
"Um….. Yes….. I'm sorry!" She said as she bowed apologetically.
"Nonsense! No need to apologize! To be honest these brats could use a challenge for once. And with your fiery spirit and solid resolve, you'll fit right in here! Welcome to Fairy Tail, Miss Neva." Makarov smiled. Kaia gasped and smiled hugely.
"Seriously? I can join?" She asked. He nodded and Kaia scooped him up into a crushing hug. "Thank you!" She squealed happily before setting him down and rushing over to Mira who was just bringing her the bottle of water. "He said I could join! I'm joining Fairy Tail!" She exclaimed gleefully.
"What? We got a new member!? TIME TO CELEBRATE!" Macao called out loudly. The guild erupted into cheers and more booze came out of nowhere as the guild began to party.
"Congratulations! Let's go get you a guild mark!" Mira smiled as she handed Kaia the bottle of water. Kaia followed her and Mira grabbed the guild stamp and turned to mark her. "So where do you want it placed?" She asked.
"I want it over my heart, because I just know that Fairy Tail and it's people are gonna be very close to it." Kaia smiled.
"Okay. What color?" Mira smiled back at her.
"Neon pink if that's okay?" Kaia asked. Mira nodded and pressed the stamp to her chest, over her heart.
"There you go. Welcome to Fairy Tail." Mira smiled as she lifted the stamp to reveal the Fairy Tail guild mark
"Thank you so much!" Kaia smiled.
"No problem." Mira said. "Now, how about I tell you who everyone is, that way you can feel a little more at home since you'll know their names." She offered. The bluenette nodded vigorously as she followed Mira over to the bar. Kaia sat at a stool as Mira went behind the bar to start cleaning glasses and pointing out the various members. Kaia listened to her list out everyone and point them out as she drank from her bottle of water. Even long after the water was gone Mira was still listing off members.
"And over there is Gajeel. He's an Iron Dragon Slayer. I swear that he and Levy are secretly dating and just don't want anyone to know it." Mira whispered conspiratorially. Kaia giggled and watched him sit at a chair boredly. She noticed that occasionally he'd glance over at Levy and if she happened to catch him, she'd blush wildly while he snapped his attention away.
"I can totally see it." Kaia agreed with a giggle. She caught a flash of pink hair and looked over to see Natsu trying to cheer up Lucy by making weird faces. While most of them made Kaia giggle, Lucy didn't find them nearly as funny. She Lucy-kicked him half way across the guild and Kaia frowned for a second when she saw him crash into someone and then they both crashed into a table.
"Watch it flame brain!" Gray snapped as he tossed off his shirt and pants.
"Like I can help it if Lucy kicks me and sends me flying across the guild you stupid stripper!" Natsu shouted back.
"What'd you call me fire-breath?" Gray snapped.
"You heard me Ice Princess!"
"That's it!" Punches were thrown and then Gray himself was thrown across the guild. He slammed into Elfman who turned and saw the fight.
"Fights are Manly!" He exclaimed before rushing to join into the brawl. He grabbed someone and threw the poor guy into a table full of people. After that it simply escalated into an all-out guild brawl.
"You know…. You can join them if you like." Kaia jolted, she'd completely forgotten Mira was there. She was too busy trying to spot that spiky pink head again. Kaia had admired how he was so carefree and even though he was a little childish it simply made her laugh because she had the same childlike innocence about her as well sometimes. She blushed as she smiled sheepishly and shook her head in response to the Take-over mage's statement.
"Nah, these people don't know me and I have a feeling this is more of a guild thing." She shrugged.
"Well, don't forget, you're part of this guild now too." Mira reminded her and pointed to her chest. Kaia's hand came up to rest over her newly placed guild mark and she smiled.
"Still…. I'm pretty sure I'm too new for tha-"
"Hey Kaia, you gonna join in or what?" Natsu asked as he got Gray into a head lock.
"Really?" Kaia asked.
"Sure! C'mon, I could use some help with droopy eyes here." He grunted.
"Saying you can't take me by yourself Pinky?" Gray huffed as he wriggled free from the headlock.
"Nah, I just wanna give you someone to fight that will make it so you actually have a chance at winning." Natsu goaded.
"Hey!" Both of them snapped. "That's so not true!" Gray huffed.
"Yeah! We all know that I'd wipe the floor with him!" Kaia snapped as she jumped to her feet.
"Nuh-uh! I'd so win against you!" Gray snapped glaring at her.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"Then bring it, stripper!" Kaia exclaimed as she dashed toward him with her lightning quick speed.
Mira watched Kaia join in the fight with a giggle and smiled when she saw Natsu cheering her on as she got Gray into a good wrestling hold. When Kaia smiled up at Natsu Mira got a glint in her eyes, one that her sister Lisanna noticed immediately.
"Mira-nii-san….." The girl warned. Mira looked over and feigned innocence. But when Lisanna sighed and looked away as she rolled her eyes the wicked smile returned to Mira's face.
O~O~O~O
Kaia took turns battling Gray and then Natsu. In the middle of her battle with Natsu he threw her clear across the guild and she slammed into an extremely hard body. She was picked up under her arms like a toddler and a rough voice snapped out, "Hey Salamander! Next time you wanna sweep your new girlfriend off her feet, don't throw her at me!"
"I'm not his girlfriend!" "She's not my girlfriend!" both Kaia and Natsu shouted at the same time as Kaia looked over her shoulder to glare at the person holding her. She froze in shock when she saw pierced eyebrows and narrowed eyes glaring down at her.
"Whatever. Just don't throw her at me. She's too scrawny." He huffed as he tossed her into Natsu. They both grunted at the impact but got right back to their feet glaring at him.
"How dare you call me scrawny you metal face!" Kaia snapped. Gajeel whipped around to look at her and his red eyes narrowed once more.
"What'd you call me?" He asked.
"You heard me you piercing junky!" She huffed.
"You wanna end up in the infirmary!?" He snapped.
"Sure, I'll come by to visit you!" She snapped as she shot forward.
"That's it! You're going down!" He growled. "Iron Dragon's sword!" His arm transformed into the black steel sword and he swung out at Kaia. She dropped to her knees and slid under the blade as she bent back. Then she popped back onto her feet and continued to charge towards him. He swung low the next time and she jumped up shouting "Water Dragon's water cannon!". She aimed her fist which had a water globe around it. The guild froze at the mention of Water Dragon and watched as the water shot from her hand and smashed into Gajeel's face, pummeling him into the ground. When she finally let up she dropped back to the ground and landed on one knee. She got to her feet with a slight huff and looked down at her legs.
"Aww man, look what you made me do to my shorts!" She whined as she saw the dirt stains on them. "Tch, that's gonna take forever to get out." She grumbled as Gajeel sat up.
"You're a Water Dragon Slayer?" He asked. Kaia looked up at the surprise in his voice.
"Oh…. Yeah, I guess I shoulda mentioned that earlier huh?" She smiled sheepishly as she scratched at the back of her head.
"Oh yeah! I've been meaning to ask you! What was your dragon's name?" Natsu asked.
"Her name was Indra. She disappeared July seventh-"
"On the year 777?" Natsu asked. Kaia nodded.
"How old were you when she left?" Lucy asked. Kaia started to fidget as everyone became curious.
"See…. That's kind of complicated….. And please don't freak out when I tell you that I was thirteen at the time." Kaia whispered.
"Thirteen?" Natsu and Gajeel exclaimed. Kaia winced and nodded.
"Wow…. Um…. You've very well preserved for your age?" Gray said trying to make it sound like a compliment but not knowing how. Kaia giggled at that.
"Technically I'm twenty seven. But I went through a similar issue that you guys did with Tenroujima." She said.
"Really?" Erza asked in surprise. Kaia nodded and Rose came over to hug her leg.
"Yeah. Rose and I had a curse put on us by the leader of a very powerful dark guild. I was passing through a village when I was seventeen, and saw these people who I had assumed were bandits terrorizing the villagers. So I tried to stop them. But they overpowered me and took Rose and I back to their guild. Their leader wanted me for my magic power, and tried to coerce me to join their side. I refused, and then he tried to force me. I still refused and when he tried to beat me up, I fought back. His goons grabbed me and restrained me." She paused with a dark frown before shaking her head and continuing. "He told me that he'd just have to break my spirit so I would join him. He performed a forbidden time magic and trapped Rose and I in glass, cursed to stay preserved inside of it until everyone I loved had died." She mumbled. Rose looked up at her with a sad expression and hugged her leg tighter. "The only person I loved was a little old woman who found me after Indra had left. She took me in and cared for me like I was her own child. She died a couple months ago. I didn't know until I'd woken up. The man who's cursed me told me the rules of the curse and laughed as he watched me cry over my lost mother figure. I went into a rage and rampaged through the guild. I destroyed it and told the magic counsel about them. They were arrested and I left. I was nearly completely alone in the world, luckily and also unluckily Rose had been trapped with me so I still had her." Kaia bent to pick up her Exceed friend and hugged her to her chest. "But we had no one and knew no one. And then we saw all of you in the Grand Magic Games. And I saw how close you all were. I knew that I wanted to become a member of Fairy Tail after seeing all of you together." She smiled. "And now…. Hopefully. I've got a family." She said hesitantly.
"Aww of course you do! You can call me uncle Gildarts!" Gildarts said as he hugged her close and nuzzled her cheek. Kaia gave an evil look before mashing her hand into his face to push him away.
"Technically I'm seventeen and still under-aged, pervert." She warned him. Gildarts was struck with an arrow labeled pervert. "And I'm not calling you uncle cause that's seriously creepy." She added. A second arrow pieced him labeled creepy. Everyone watched as Gildarts wilted and Kaia rubbed her hand over the cheek he was nuzzling.
"Holy crap….. I think she's the first person to take Gildarts down." Someone whispered.
"She didn't take him down so much as wound his pride critically." Cana muttered as she poked his cheek. She shrugged and went back to sit at her table and continue chugging her beer.
"Anyway…." Lucy said. "Why would that guild want you so badly for your power? I mean there's tons of powerful Dragon Slayers and you can apparently make them using Dragon Slayer lacrima." Kaia stiffened and then smacked herself on the forehead making everyone jump and give confused looks to each other at the strange action.
"Well um…. You see….. I-uh….. I have-….. I have to go find a place to stay! C'mon Rose!" She shouted suddenly and grabbed her cat's paw before taking off out of the guild. Lucy looked around to everyone else and realized they were just as confused as her.
"Uh….?" Lucy frowned.
"Don't just stand there! Let's go after her! She's new to Magnolia and doesn't know a thing about it!" Natsu said as he grabbed her hand and dragged her behind him as he raced out after Kaia.
O~O~O~O
"Whew….. That was close." Kaia sweat dropped as her and Rose wandered aimlessly around Magnolia, trying to get a feel for the place.
"Kaia… Maybe we shouldn't have left. I mean, maybe you could have told them." Rose mumbled, not knowing that there were extra ears listening as the pairs weaved through the crowds.
"No." Kaia said vehemently. Rose frowned.
"But they're not like Black Lullaby." The Exceed reminded her. "They wouldn't have-"
"No way. We don't know that. I mean sure there's a lot of powerful wizards in the guild, and that's one of the other reasons I wanted to join, so my power wouldn't stick out, but if they knew… Power tends to change people Rose. You know it as well as I do." Rose looked down dejectedly at that with a small noise of discontent. Kaia looked down at her now depressed friend and smiled sadly. "Hey, he was my boyfriend, shouldn't I be the one upset?" She teased weakly. Rose didn't lift her head and Kaia sighed as she pulled the cat over out of the way of other people and knelt down. "Look, I know what Dimitri did was pretty awful…." She mumbled as her hand came up to touch the side of her neck nervously. "But I'm fine, and he didn't hurt you at least. I've gotten over it mostly. It taught me that I have to be careful on who to trust though. Maybe in time I can tell everyone, but I'm just…. I'm not sure yet. I know they're really nice and all, but you know I can't help but be cautious." She said patting Rose's head affectionately as the cat looked up at her.
"I know….. I just….. I feel bad. They gotta be confused, and now suspicious cause you keep evading and fleeing from their questions. Can't you imagine how they feel?" Rose asked.
"Rose… I know. I feel horrible about it, but what do you want me to do? Do you want me to trust them right off the bat like I did with Dimitri? Cause if so I was the person who got to know first-hand how that turned out, and let me remind you that it was horrible!" Kaia suddenly exploded. Rose jumped and the bluenette felt horrible instantly. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have blown up at you. I'm just so frustrated. I wish they didn't have to ask so many questions." She sighed.
"They've only asked about two or three." Rose mumbled quietly.
"That's a lot for me." Kaia reminded her. The Exceed nodded and they were quiet for a second before Kaia sighed and ran her hands through her hair with her eyes closed. When he hands met at her neck she laced her fingers together and opened her visible eye. "How about we go apartment hunting? Don't wanna lie any more than I have to right?" She smiled down at her cat. "Rose?" She asked when she didn't get a reply. Rose lifted her head and smiled.
"Right!" She said with a little more cheer than was necessary. Kaia played along though and lifted her cat to place her on her head. Then she stood as Rose laid on her belly on Kaia's blue head and went back into the crowd, but not before getting a whiff of a scent that was becoming familiar. She whipped around to look behind her but no one looked recognizable. "What's the matter?" Rose asked dipping down to look at her eye.
"Nothing I just-…. I smelled something like campfires and…. And apples. And vanilla and strawberries….. I thought it was….. Never mind, I'm being silly." She shrugged and turned back around to continue walking.
Behind an alley wall Natsu and Lucy breathed a sigh of relief.
"Campfires and Apples?" Natsu asked.
"Yeah, you kind smell like roasted apples from a campfire." Lucy giggled.
"Oh…. Well you smell like vanilla and strawberries." Natsu said before looking out of the alley. "Crap, where'd she go!?" He hissed.
"Whatever, let's just leave her alone Natsu, c'mon. We can go back to the guild now, she's said all she's going to." Lucy huffed, feeling bad about spying on their new friend, when clearly she wanted to be left alone when it came to personal stuff.
"But-"
"No Natsu. Enough spying! It makes me feel dirty!" Lucy huffed. "How can you stand the feeling that you're cheating like this? I mean technically it's cheating, she doesn't want to tell us so we shouldn't be forcing her or eavesdropping on her conversations."
"I know, I feel bad, but c'mon aren't you curious?" He asked. "Who's this Dimitri guy, what exactly did he do, what power does she have—I mean I know she's a pretty powerful magic user cause holy crap in our fight she was tough and we were both holding back but is there more to her abilities and she's holding back more than I thought? I'm practically burning with curiosity." Natsu huffed.
"Well you know what they say Natsu, curiosity killed the cat." Lucy warned.
"Cat? Is Happy in trouble!?" Natsu exclaimed. Lucy bonked him on the head in annoyance.
"No Happy isn't in trouble you idiot, it was just an expression." She huffed.
"Expressions are things like smiles Lucy." Natsu said as if she were the dumb one. She glared at him.
"Never mind. I give up!" She declared as she threw her hands into the air and left the alley to head home. As she walked along the edge of the river the men in their boat called out for her to be careful for fear of her falling in. Lucy looked up to tell them there was no cause for concern, but stopped abruptly when she saw long blue hair standing in front of the building next to hers. Surprised she watched Kaia smile and talk to the older gentleman and shake his hand before he handed her a set of keys.
"Wow…. She works fast." Lucy mumbled as she watched Kaia wave to the man before heading down the street. Lucy shrugged to herself and decided she'd keep the information of where Kaia was now staying to herself. She already had people barging into her home and disrupting her privacy, she wanted to spare Kaia the same fate for as long as possible.
O~O~O~O
When Lucy walked into the guild the next day around noon Natsu bounded over to her holding a flyer.
"Lucy! I figured you and I could do a job together with Kaia, ya know just so she could get a feel for it. What do ya think? I promise I won't ask her questions or anything!" He said quickly. Lucy smiled.
"Yeah sure, I need rent money anyways." She shrugged.
"Great! Now we just gotta wait for her to get here. Let's go tell Mira!" He said and bounded over to the bar with Lucy walking reasonably behind him.
"….. wait what do you mean she's already gone? Where'd she go?" Natsu asked as Lucy approached.
"Who's gone?"
"Kaia. She's already gone according to Mira." Natsu pouted.
"What!? I know we were kind of pushy yesterday but-but she couldn't leave just because of that could she?" Lucy asked in worry.
"No, no, you've got it all wrong." Mira hurried to correct her. "She's gone, as in she's off on a mission."
"What?" Both Natsu and Lucy were surprised at that.
"Yeah, she took one of the higher paying ones too. Seems like it could be difficult, but she assured me that she and Rose had done things similar to this before. They were never in a guild but they helped people out if they came across someone in trouble. But she came in early this morning and stared at the request board for a couple minutes straight before she took off a flyer and came over to tell me she wanted to take the job." The silver haired mage smiled.
"Which one did she take?" Lucy asked curiously.
"It was one about a water monster attacking a seaside village a couple cities from here." Mira informed them. "I warned her it was gonna be difficult, the master was actually considering making it an S-class quest for a time , but she was adamant that she take that job. She said she didn't care if it was difficult, she could handle it. She really wanted the reward." Mira shrugged.
"How much was it?" The Celestial mage wondered.
"I think it was somewhere around a million?" Mira remembered.
"A million!?" Lucy's jaw dropped onto the counter. "And she took it alone!?"
"Yeah. But Lucy you gotta understand that some people want to handle missions by themselves. Teamwork is nice but you have to split the money." Mira reminded her. "I'm sure she'll be fine, after all she kind of beat down Gray, Natsu, and Gajeel." She giggled.
"Nuh uh! She never beat me! I just accidentally threw her into Gajeel and she got distracted and started fighting him instead!" Natsu huffed.
"Anyway!" Lucy cut in. "Do you know when she'll be back?"
"In about a week would be my guess." Mira shrugged.
"Aww man. I was hoping we could do her first job together." Natsu pouted.
"Well we can still team up for her second, and every one after that. How about we just wait till she gets back?" Lucy offered as she took the flyer from his hands and handed it over to Mira. "Mira, do you think you could hold this job request for us until Kaia gets back?" She asked.
"Sure." The silver haired woman replied with another smile before taking the flyer.
"Man…. I wanted to go on her first mission with her." Natsu muttered as he and Lucy walked away from the bar.
"Well, we'll be her first team mission when she gets back." The Summoner smiled, trying to cheer him up.
"Yeah, you're right!" The Dragon Slayer smiled widely.
Whew! Well there you go. I hope you guys like it, and I look forward to the REVIEWS (hint, hint, wink, wink!) that I'll get from this chapter. I'm surprised at how long these are because normally if I have chapters they aren't all that long lol. Anywho please REVIEW share thoughts and ideas and all that with me and such.
UNTIL NEXT TIME MY LOVELIES!
