I don't really know what got into me. All I know is that I'm finding myself lunging at Natsu, yelling, "Fight me!" But before my fist connects with his face, he dodges it with ease.
"Who the heck are you?" Natsu asks.
"My name is Inuyoku Sasaki, and I've come to beat you in a fight."
"Inuyoku, huh? In that case, I have someone here who's been waiting for you."
Then, I watch in horror as Natsu explodes into a cloud of smoke. At the moment, everybody is watching, all with the same horrified look on their faces. Natsu Dragneel, the great "Salamander" of Fiore, just exploded into smoke. All my hopes and dreams, crushed.
"Surprise," says a familiar female voice.
As the smoke clears, I can see a girl standing in the same spot Natsu was standing. She has long, silver hair, and purple eyes. She is wearing a yellow shirt with a pink heart in the middle, along with a brown dress. In addition, she has a pair of green, diamond-shaped earrings. She bares fangs in the corners of her mouth. I realize who it is, and find it more horrifying than watching Natsu explode.
"Oh my goodness!" Happy exclaims as he flies over the scene, clasping his hands on his cheeks, frantically screaming, "Natsu got turned into a girl! And he's pretty!"
"No, you got it all wrong," I say as I walk to the girl. "What are you doing here, Miyu?"
"Why, hello, big brother," Miyu responds. "I thought you would be happy to see me."
"Hey, look, it's the new girl," says Gray.
"Oh, hey Gray. Did my brother cause any trouble while I was gone?"
Erza steps forward. "Not at all. In fact, your brother is really polite."
"That's good to hear."
I enter the conversation. "So…uh…you didn't answer my question, Miyu."
"Oh yeah. Remember how I ran on that train?"
The last time I saw Miyu was a few days ago, at a train station in the next town. She had run onto a train without me, and after a failed attempt to chase after her, I gave up and headed back to town.
"Well, it was headed here, to Magnolia. Plus, I figured that since you were going to join Fairy Tail, so I thought that I might as well tag along, to make sure you don't get into any trouble."
I'm not sure whether I should be relieved that she's safe with me or scared that she is in my dream guild, and I'll have to spend the rest of my time here with her.
While I'm standing there, thinking of my future troubles, Lucy walks up to Miyu. As I figure, they begin talking about how they've been and catching up. Girls.
Wait a minute. Happy said that Natsu was already coming back. Seeing the way he freaked out when Miyu released her transformation, he probably thought that she was Natsu. That would mean he doesn't know where Natsu is.
I go to Miyu. "Sorry to interrupt you two, but do you know where Natsu is?"
Miyu smiles at me. "No idea."
Well that's just great. For all I know, Natsu could be anywhere.
Lucy puts her hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry, Inuyoku. We'll go find Natsu for you. Anyways, it's better for you to spend this time settling down and relaxing. You just joined the guild, after all, so you must be exhausted."
I have to admit, I am kind of worn out. With everything that's happened so far, challenging Natsu right away would be a total disaster.
"Alright, fine. You win. I'll take the rest of the day off to relax."
"Good to hear. Well, I'm going now. See you later."
Lucy runs out the guild with Happy, Gray, and Erza following behind. I turn to Miyu.
"So, what do we do, now?"
"Well, I already found us a place to stay, and the rent isn't to high. Let's go there. I'm tired."
I follow Miyu as she leads me out the doorway.
