Five years later
"AGH!" A voice yelled through the whole guild. Natsu and Gray looked up to see one girl slamming her head against the table. Gray grinned. "Hey Kera! If you keep on doing that you'll hurt the table!"
"Oh shut up!" The twelve year old girl snapped. Natsu walked over to her and laughed. "What's wrong?"
"I… can't… stand it!" Kera yelled while slamming her head against the table yet again, but this time she kept her head against the table.
"What's her problem?" Gray asked confused as he walked up to the two. Natsu just shrugged. "I don't know." Suddenly he sniffed the air. Frowning he went to Kera and sniffed her again. She noticed this and growled.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING SNIFFING ME!?" She yelled at him. Natsu flinched back. "Jeez! Spending time with Erza is rubbing off of you!"
"What!?" She snapped yet again.
Natsu shook his head. "I was… you… you just smell different."
Kera gave him a blank look. "Wow… thanks… that's what I really want to hear." Sighing she let her head fall against the table again.
"What's wrong with Kera?" A voice asked and suddenly a blue cat flew over to them. It smirked and landed on the brown haired girls head. A loud growl was heard. "Happy, get off of my head now or I will cook you and eat you."
Immediately the cat flew away and hid behind Natsu. "Natsu! Kera's being mean again!" The blue cat was Happy. Natsu had found him in the forest as he was still in an egg and with the help of Lisanna they raised it until Happy hatched. So now the cat was almost glued to Natsu.
Also he was very annoying.
"Seriously what's her problem?" Gray asked.
"Natsu, Gray, can I talk to the two of you?" Master Makarov called out. The two boys looked at each other before at Kera. Natsu smiled at her. "Hey, we're going to see what gramps want. We'll be back."
"Yea whatever." Kera muttered.
Sighing Natsu walked to the back of the room with Gray behind him. Entering his, if you can call it, office they saw Erza already sitting there with her arms crossed and an emotionless face on.
Oh boy, this was serious.
When the door closed behind them, the two boys flinched. "We didn't do anything! I swear!" Natsu yelled immediately.
Makarov raised an eyebrow. "Natsu, this isn't about you."
"It's not?" He asked and saw the Master shaking his head. The pink haired boy let out a sigh of relief.
"This is about Kera." He said. Gray frowned as he crossed his arms. "You mean that you know the reason why she's acting like she is?"
"Yes." Erza said making the two boys slightly flinched. She stood up and glared at the two boys. "She's been acting like this for a few weeks."
"You mean ever since you came back from that mission injured badly?" Gray asked and Erza gave him a death glare saying 'shut-up'
Makarov sighed. "Unfortunately yes. The reason why Kera is acting like this is because she can't use magic."
"But Master." Natsu tried to intervene but he simply ignored him. "Not right now Natsu, I know what you are going to say but it's very unrealistic."
Erza gave the Master a glance. "What are you saying Master? Is there something the two of you know?"
"It's nothing Erza. The important thing right now is trying to cheer her up and get her out of this miserable mood." He stated seriously.
Natsu clenched his fist. "It does matter Master! It happened again."
Makarov snapped is head towards Natsu. "It did? When?"
"A few minutes ago." He said seriously.
Erza frowned as she glanced at Makarov and Natsu. "What are you talking about?"
Sighing Master Makarov rubbed his head. "Fine, Natsu explain."
He nodded. His gaze then went to the red head. She had a serious expression on her face and he knew she would probably kill him if he didn't say anything soon. "Kera may be able to use magic."
Erza stood there shocked. "What? But… how? She…"
"She doesn't know it. From what I know she probably has never been able to feel the magic inside of her." Natsu explained.
Gray gave him a suspicious glance. "How do you know she may be able to use magic?"
"Because I smelled it."
"Seriously?" Erza and Gray yelled together.
Natsu grinned as he tapped his nose. "You guys are forgetting. I'm a Dragon Slayer, that means I can smell better than other people."
"That doesn't explain why…" Erza muttered as she walked over to Natsu. "And you should know me that you will tell me how you know or else things will get ugly."
Natsu laughed nervously. "I'm not finished yet!" Erza gave him a glare but stepped back.
"Is that why you just sniffed her?" Gray asked and Natsu nodded while crossing his arms. "She smells familiar."
"Familiar how Natsu?" Makarov asked.
"Familiar as in, she smells like a dragon." Natsu stated with a serious expression.
There was a huge silence in the room as Natsu said those words. Erza blinked. "Are… are you serious?"
Sighing the Dragon Slayer nodded. "I believe she may be a Dragon Slayer but it's strange. A Dragon Slayer is trained by a dragon but I don't think she has ever met her dragon, or was too young to remember. That's maybe the reason why she can't use magic… yet."
"So she's able to use magic." Erza stated wanting, no hoping it would be true. That would change a lot for Kera.
"There might be a chance she can use magic, but she needs like a… a… trigger! Something that'll spike her magic energy and force it to come out. Then there might be a chance to train her powers, but like I said, normally a DRAGON trains her."
"But there's still a chance." Erza stated again. Natsu sighed. "Technically yes. The first time I smelled this was five years ago, when she came to the guild. The next time I smelled it was after you guys came back from Porlyusica. Then the last time I smelled it just a few minutes ago when she was having a fit and smashing her head against the table."
"We have to tell her." Erza said glancing at everyone. Makarov though shook his head. "No, we won't tell her… yet."
Erza clenched her fists. "Why? She deserves to know!"
The Master sighed. "Erza, we just found out that there is a small chance she can use magic but there is still a chance she won't be able. It's better we keep this to ourselves and see what happens."
Erza sighed but nodded. "Fine."
Three days later
Kera gritted her teeth as she kept on sending attacks towards Erza. The red headed girl had started training Kera ever since they were smaller. They both wanted to get stronger and it was a good way to spend time.
Kera sent a punch towards Erza, but she sidestepped it and slammed her elbow into Kera's back. She cursed as she fell to the ground with a thud. "Damn it!" Kera cursed as she quickly got back to her feet.
"Maybe we should take a break." Erza suggested as she blocked another attack with her bare hand.
Kera was panting and you could clearly see she was having a hard time to breathe. The brunette swiped some sweat away as she shook her head. "No, I want to continue."
"You don't look so good." Erza told her but yet again she shook her head. "I'm fine." Kera said as she sent another punch at her. Erza sighed as she caught that punch as well. They were practicing for about an hour straight without a break and Kera couldn't take it anymore. Erza could clearly see it, but of course Kera would say she was fine.
"Kera you need to rest! You're going to black out!" Erza slightly scolded, but Kera just stood there panting. "I need to get stronger."
Erza sighed as she caught the next punch, but also felt that Kera collapsed into her. Erza struggled slightly to keep her standing. "See, look what you done now. You've completely worn yourself out." Erza said through gritted teeth, though it was useless.
The two fell to the ground and the red head just sat there shaking her head. Why was she acting like this? "Why are you doing this Kera? Ever since that mission you're acting strange."
Kera took deep breaths as she rolled to the side. "It's just… I need to get stronger."
"But why!?" Erza shouted.
"Because I can't be there for you like we promised!" Kera shouted in frustration.
Erza blinked. "Is this what it's about? The promise?" Kera nodded sighing in frustration. "I just hate it when you go on those missions and come back injured and I just can't do anything because I'm not a freaking wizard!" she said as she stood back up.
"Kera, it's alright. You know you can't always be there." Erza tried to reason with her but Kera ignored her. She walked over to a tree and punched it with her fist. "I hate being useless! I hate it! There's nothing I can do to protect my friends! Agh!" She punched the tree again with her other fist as hard as she could.
She didn't care about the pain at the moment or that blood was dripping down her fists. The only thing she cared about was being useful for something!
"Kera, stop it, you're being unreasonable." Erza told her as she stood up.
Snarling she turned around and glared at Erza. "That's easy for you to say! You're a wizard! Heck you're supposed to be more than just a wizard! I heard Master talking with you about becoming an S-class mage! And you're only fourteen!"
She growled and glared at Erza. "Now fight me!"
"What? No!" Erza shouted standing up. "I'm not going to fight you Kera!"
"WHY NOT!?" Kera yelled. Erza's eyes went wide as she saw her friend charging towards her with immense speed.
Wait…
Was that a seal?
"JUST FIGHT ME!" Kera shouted while sending a punch towards her. Erza tried to block it, but she was surprised by such strong winds that suddenly sent her back into a tree.
She groaned as she pushed herself off of the tree. "I'm not going to fight you Kera!"
"AGH! FIGHT ME!" Kera yelled but as she took a step forward a seal suddenly appeared around her. Erza's eyes widened as she watched the seal move around her and then suddenly four seals appeared over each other and out of each seal came a different attack out.
Out of the red one came fire
Out of the blue one came water
Out of the green one came earth
And out of the white one came air
It surrounded Kera in a circle and it went all out as Kera yelled out in frustration.
Erza just watched in amazement what happened.
Kera could use magic!
Natsu was right!
Kera is a wizard!
Her head snapped to Kera to see that the attacks died down and the seals disappeared. She also noticed that the girl was wobbling on her feet. Quickly Erza dashed towards her catching her as she crumbled to the ground.
She was holding Kera as if she was fragile like glass. The brunette groaned as she opened up her eyes again. "Ugh… what happened? And why are you smiling?"
Erza grinned at her while hugging her. "You don't remember?"
"It's a bit fuzzy…"
Erza suddenly squeezed the life out of her. "You can use magic Kera! You're a wizard!" She shouted in glee.
Kera blinked. "Really? I… I can use magic?"
"Yea!" Erza said with a huge smile. "Come on! We have to tell Master Makarov."
The brunette smiled. "I can use magic… I really can."
Yay! So Kera can use magic after all! And what power! Heh, anyway, leave a review and tell me what you think. I accept everything! Even if you have any suggestions or questions just leave it in your review!
See you next time!
