~*COBRA POV*~

Why did I decide to go through with this? First a train and now a fucking carriage. It's times like these when I hate being a dragon slayer; I'm just glad I can hide it. At least it's not a prison cell. I gotta say, I'm surprised they'll even let me out on parole with my history. Apparently there's a new guild or something that just registered, and if they're serious then I'll be able to join, whatever the hell that means. I don't know why it's this guild in particular, but oh well. Somehow Lahar was able to block me from hearing his soul, so I have no idea what he's planning.

'Why do I have to be in a cage?'

I hear the soul of my old friend Cubelios. At least they took care of him while I was in prison. He's currently in a metal containment unit, with some sort of air filter.

'This sucks.'

I smirk at his comment. After an eternity we stop. Once my stomach stops churning, I follow Lahar out and my good eye goes wide. Holy fucking hell that's a big house.

"DAMMIT HAPPY!"

"AAAAH! HELP ME!"

What the hell was that? All of a sudden, a blue blur came hurtling out a third story window and landed on the ground. It was the Salamander's damn cat. Aren't they in Fairy Tail?

"GET BACK HERE YOU STUPID CAT!"

I look back at the window just as someone came climbing out. They expertly climbed down the side of the mansion with ease. When they reached the ground, I realized just who it was. Fucking hell.

"AAAAAH! SHE'S GONNA EAT ME!"

"NOOO, I'M GONNA MURDER YOU!"

Well this was entertaining. Watching the busty blonde chase the flying cat around in her skimpy clothes was very entertaining indeed. The fun ended however when the cat flew into Lahar.

"AAAAH! IT'S LIEUTENANT MEANIE!" He quickly flew back to the blonde and hid behind her.

"Happy! Lahar is a Captain. Show the proper respect."

"Sorry. AAAAH! IT'S CAPTAIN MEANIE!"

I had a hard time holding back my laughter.

"Miss Heartfilia. It's a pleasure to see you again."

It took a minute for the blonde to realize just who he was and why the damn cat was shouting.

"Oh come on! We haven't even had a CHANCE to screw up yet!"

Well that was unexpected. Lahar pushed up his glasses and was about to speak up when the cat finally noticed me.

"Hey it's Cobra."

The blonde looked over at me, her mind surprisingly blank. Suddenly her mind started working a mile a minute processing the situation. Her mind was working so fast I couldn't even pick up snippets of what she was thinking. Everything stopped just as fast as it started and she got an incredibly big smile on her face, lighting up her eyes.

"Are you here to join?"

I looked at here for a second. Before I could say anything Lahar spoke up.

"Yes, in fact, we're hoping he'll be the first of many reformed prisoners to be integrated into society through your guild."

I didn't think it was possible but her smile got bigger. "Really?! That's wonderful! We'll be happy to help them! Happy, go get the stamp please."

"Aye Miss!"

Well that was a shock, I listened to her soul for any deceit but it wasn't there, she was being serious. She looked back over at me with her bright eyes and smile, but grew a look of confusion. She looked around for something before turning back to me.

"Where's Cubelios?"

That was a complete shock that caused me to freeze in place. She not only noticed he wasn't here, but actually remembered his name. Suddenly she rounded on Lahar with an angry expression.

"What did you do?"

Lahar was surprised to say the least. The blonde looked over at the carriage then at Lahar before heading towards it. Lahar was quick to follow, so was I. She flung the door open and immediately saw the cage Cubelios was in. I think she got even madder.

"You put him in a cage?!"

Before Lahar could do anything, the furious blonde started shouting at him.

"You better open that damn cage and let the poor thing out before I place you in a cage and throw away the key!"

'Who is that?'

I don't think I've ever seen Lahar move faster than he did now. As soon as the cage was opened Cubelios slithered out and took in his surroundings. The bi polar blonde was now cheerful and happy again, until she saw I was still in cuffs.

"Lahar, why is Cobra still wearing those?"

Oh, this was going to be good. Before the girl could do anything Lahar quickly removed my restraints. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to see her temper again, but at least the cuffs were off. Cubelios slithered out of the carriage and wrapped himself around me like old times.

'So she's the one who was yelling. I like her.'

I nodded to my friend in agreement and stroked his head.

"LUUUUSHY! I HAVE THE STAMP!"

The flying fur ball came to a complete stop in front of her, handing her something.

"Thank you Happy, can you get the others and tell them to go to the study? Tell them we have two new members!"

"Aye Miss!"

He flew off again to follow her orders. I turned back to the girl in front of me with a raised eyebrow. "Two?"

"You and Cubelios of course! Who else would I be talking about?"

'Yep. Definitely like her.'

"Now what color and where?"

I held out my left hand, palm up. "Wrist. Purple."

She smiled and pressed the stamp to my wrist, holding my closed hand to keep my arm still. Once she lifted the thing, I looked at my new guild mark.

"Okay, Cubelios, your turn."

I looked at her. So did Cubelios.

'I get a stamp?'

"He gets a stamp?"

"Of course! He's gonna be a member and all members have to have a stamp. So, Cubelios, what color and where?"

'Tell her I want white on the top of my head!' he seemed a little too excited.

"He wants white on the top of his head."

She gently strokes his chin before holding it softly and pressed the stamp to his head, right where he wanted it.

"As master I officially welcome you both to Sekandochansu!"

Wait a minute, she's the fucking guild master?

"I ain't calling you master."

"Good, cause I don't want to be called that. Just give me a nickname like everyone else."

I think I'll like it here. "Fine, from now on you're Bright Eyes."

She blinked at me. Then smiled. "I like it! Come on. Thanks Lahar for the new members! And for sending the rules for the Grand Magic Games!"

Lahar nodded and went back to the carriage.

~*STUDY*~

Bright Eyes led me to a pair of doors before flinging them open. Inside was a room filled with books. Two floors of books. In the very center of the room was what looked like a sitting area with couches and arm chairs. The three exceeds were sitting on the floor enjoying their respective snacks. The iron slayer occupied one of the arm chairs, munching on some scrap metal. The little slayer was on the couch with the water woman playing with a doll I knew all too well; while letting the water woman braid her hair.

They all stopped what they were doing and looked at us.

"Great news! Not only do we have two new members but the Magic council also hopes we'll be able to help more reformed prisoners in the future!"

The little slayer spoke up first. "Really? They want us to help?"

"Juvia thinks it is a wonderful idea!"

"Gihi."

Bright Eyes started speaking again. "OH! By the way! This is Cobra and Cubelios!"

"Hi Cobra-san! Cubelios-san! I'm glad to see you like this!" The little slayer spoke up. I listened to her soul. 'I wonder if he'll let me call him Cobra-nii! Then I would have two big brothers!'

That shocked me. I thought for sure she would be afraid of me. Huh. Maybe I will get a second chance. I decided to not waste an opportunity, so I smirked and answered. "Sure you can Little Slayer."

Her eyes got wide, and her cheeks were red. 'Oh! I forgot he can hear my thoughts! Wait! He said I could!' Her face lit up with a smile as she shot up and ran towards me. She hugged me, by doing so hugged Cubelios also, and spoke.

"Welcome to your new home Cobra-Nii!"

I froze in shock. What the hell was I supposed to do?! I heard giggling to my right and shot a glare to Bright Eyes. "What are you laughing at, Bright Eyes?"

"Nothing, nothing." 'It's just cute how flustered you look from a hug.'

"Shut up."

The little slayer finally let go of me and sat back down on the couch, dragging me by the hand. Somehow, Cubelios managed to slither off of me, and cautiously crawled over to the exceeds. The blue one smiled at him and offered his fish.

"Hi Cubelios! I'm Happy! This is Carla and that's Pantherlilly, but we all call him Lilly. Want a fish?"

He slowly nodded and settled down by them, happily sharing the fish. I looked at the other humans in the room. The water woman was smiling at me, welcoming me to the guild, while the iron slayer just stared.

"Juvia would like to welcome Cobra-san to Sekandochansu!"

I nodded to her, listening to her soul. 'Juvia is so happy to have another member! Juvia thinks Lulu-chan is happy with who it is, too. Cobra-san would be good for Lulu-chan.'

I looked away from the woman, not wanting to hear it. I heard the distinct laugh of the iron slayer, and listened to his soul.

'I wonder if Snakes knows Bunny Girl's his mate."

I looked at the man with a raised eyebrow. He looked over at me, before smirking. 'We'll talk later, Snakes.'

I rolled my eyes at the nickname. Bright Eyes walked over to the desk that was farther away and shuffled through the papers. 'Come on I know you're here somewhere…'

"Aha!"

She held up a packet and an envelope; turning back to us she started talking. "Ok, so I have more news, now that we have another member, we can participate in the Grand Magic Games." Everyone started to get excited, paying close attention.

"Lahar sent me the rules and a letter giving us the exception of the guild master not being on the team. As long as I'm a reserve, I can participate. Our team is all of us: Gajeel, Juvia, Wendy, Cobra, and Lilly with me as the reserve. The games are in three months, so starting tomorrow, we start training!"

Everyone cheered. Being a part of this guild might not be such a bad thing. Especially with Bright Eyes here.
