I have no announcements other than this will definitely be my busiest month so don't expect a ton of updates from me. Read, review and enjoy the chapter.

Undefinable

Chapter 4: A Day Away from the Crowd

It's only been a few days since Hyde and the gang had fled to Magnolia for protection. They've been lucky so far not to be caught by the empire but who knows when that could end. The town of Magnolia was peaceful and bustling as usual until… "Take this, Natsu!" The Fairy Tail guild was rowdy despite it being a little early in the morning. The Fairy Tail members caught up in their usual fights. However, one particular person was causing the racket as well. "Oi! Don't get in my way! I show Natsu I'm tougher than I look!" A blur of light spurred past several members and collided with several tables. "Oh come on!"

"Stop joining in you idiot of a brother!" A sword spiraled through the air and stuck itself into the wall. It wasn't surprising that the thrower was Hitoshi who was angrily trying to get his fraternal brother to stop fighting. Tadaaki looked back at Hitoshi and gave him a toothy yet arrogant grin.

"You gotta try harder, Hitoshi!" Tadaaki shouted, jumping over several members. Hitoshi cursed in frustration and sat down. He hated it when his brother caught up in something like this.

"I'm just about ready to kill him," Hitoshi growled as he grabbed his sword that flew back to him. Whoever threw it back to him, Hitoshi didn't care.

"You're not the only one," Lucia commented, watching the chaos of the guild unfold. Hyde, Lidia and even Norman nodded in agreement. They were used to Fairy Tail's usual rowdiness since it had a reputation for such but they were hoping, especially Lucia and Hitoshi, that Tadaaki would act a bit more mature than letting a little argument go to his head. Light shot through the air thus signifying that Tadaaki was now FULLY involved with the fight. Tadaaki was definitely the most immature of their group no matter how he acted before they had arrived in Magnolia. He had his moments where he would act his age but right now… not so much… Lucia glanced over at Hitoshi who was starting to stand back up. "If you join in, you'll be just as bad as him." Hitoshi sat back down but he showed some resentment in doing so.

"Lucia's right, Hitoshi. Besides, we're all trying to hold back from going in there to stop Tadaaki. Especially, you, Lidia, and Lucia," Hyde said as Hitoshi glared at his Dragon Slayer brother. They may be brothers but they two of them couldn't STAND each other sometimes. "And what's the worst that could happen?" Well, the answer came soon afterwards. Tadaaki finally got to face Natsu in a battle with their roars and the worst possibility occurred. The two attacks deflected off each hit both Tadaaki and Natsu (although, Tadaaki was hit with a much, much stronger impact since he's not as strong as Natsu) and some of the elements fired straight up and through the roof. Tadaaki had done it now. The sword-wielding Ryuusaga smacked his forehead at his brother's idiocy. Tadaaki slowly sat up and looked at the hole above, wood still falling from the attack.

"…that… was… AWESOME!" Tadaaki jumped onto his feet just as three punches hit him in the head.

"YOU IDIOT!" Lucia, Lidia, and Hitoshi yelled in unison. Sure they were expecting SOMETHING to go wrong but for something like THAT to happen was not on their list. "LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE!"

"I'm so scared by you three. What are you going to do? Punish me?" Tadaaki questioned them with much sarcasm in his voice. The three of them looked at each other and Lucia piped up.

"That's EXACTLY what we're going to do. You're going to help repair the hole AND you're going to buy the supplies necessary to do so. And just to make sure that you actually do it, I'm coming with you." Tadaaki looked at Lucia as if she was toying with him but Lidia glared at the Light Dragon Slayer.

"If you don't, then we'll make sure to punish you physically. I think Erza and I would be the perfect ones to do so," Lidia stated, making Tadaaki shiver. Erza was one of the worst people to have a punishment received by. Despite not wanting to, Tadaaki stubbornly agreed and followed Lucia out the door. Hitoshi just watched the two go with a blank stare. "Are you jealous or something?" Hitoshi gave Lidia a confused look.

"What are you talking about? I'm not jealous."

"Sure…" Lidia walked away and left the Ryuusaga in the light of the doorway.

Main Street of Magnolia

As the two strolled through the busy streets, Tadaaki continuously grumbled to himself. He just wanted to show Natsu he wasn't someone to underestimate in a fight. Tadaaki continued to complain to himself before bumping into Lucia. "Why'd you stop, Lucia?" Tadaaki asked.

"Because you kept talking to yourself. I'm going to go get the PROPER equipment to repair the hole. YOU are to WAIT out here until I get back, got it?" Tadaaki nodded and Lucia hurriedly went inside. Tadaaki watched the citizens of Magnolia walk by, carrying on with their business. He sat down and closed his eyes, hoping he could get a quick nap in before the Titan mage returned. Just as he was about to enter his dream world, children laughing and shouting made Tadaaki's eyes snap back open. He looked over at one of the stores to see a girl on her knees and repainting the sign on one of the stores. As she stood back up, the wood she was standing on snapped. Tadaaki, letting his instincts take over, ran over to the girl. He quickly caught her in his arms. She looked up and Tadaaki and immediately began to blush. Tadaaki couldn't see her face that well since the sun reflected off her glasses but she had short, dark blue hair and lightly tanned skin. Most of her hair was hidden under a bandanna.

"Are you okay?" The girl shyly nodded as her face got even redder. He was about to put her down when a something hit the back Tadaaki's head, something really, REALLY hard. The Dragon Slayer dropped the girl and held the back of his head. He turned to see Lucia behind him and a block of wood at his feet.

"I would have never guessed you were a player, Tadaaki," Lucia stated. Tadaaki frowned and picked up the wood.

"I'm not but I guess all jealous girls feel that way, huh?" Lucia glared at Tadaaki as he gave her an innocent grin. "But seriously. All I did was save her from hurting herself so no need to feel like someone's going to replace you." Lucia turned around and began to walk away in the opposite direction of the guild. "Lucia, wait!" Tadaaki went after Lucia as the girl just stood there, trying to decide whether to be jealous of Lucia or to be completely happy that Tadaaki had saved her.

Dried up riverbed

"Lucia, wait! Hold on!" Tadaaki finally caught up to Lucia and grabbed her arm (she was still carrying the supplies). Lucia turned around and looked at Tadaaki. It was hard to tell what she was thinking exactly. "What did I do wrong? All I did was save that girl."

"Yeah but you always, let your instincts tell you what to do. You never listen to your conscience," Lucia replied, putting the stuff down. "Hasn't it ever crossed your mind that you could kill yourself doing that?" Tadaaki chuckled a little and sat down.

"Not really. Although, if I did let my conscience do all the decision making, I wouldn't be who I am now, now would I?" Tadaaki said, grinning Lucia.

"I guess. We better get going, though. Everyone's probably wondering where we are." Tadaaki and stood up. Before they could pick up their supplies, the ledge collapsed. The two rolled down the hill for a bit before falling onto the ground below. Tadaaki opened his eyes to see Lucia… below him since he was above her.* Tadaaki immediately stood up and rubbed the back of his neck. Lucia sat up and looked at Tadaaki, seeing a slight blush across his face. "Are you blushing?" Tadaaki immediately glared back at her.

"Of course not. I haven't blushed once in my life yet and I'm not planning to just yet," Tadaaki stated, obviously lying through his teeth. Lucia smiled at his stubbornness and stood up. "Come on. Let's go and let's agree that this NEVER happened."

"Agreed." The two climbed back up the hill and walked silently back to the guild. This was definitely an experience they WANTED to FORGET.

*the position was similar to a cliché moment in a movie where the couple falls and the male is on his hands and knees above the girl and the girl is on her back below the guy. Yeah… I felt like being cliché today.

Well, that's it and I was supposed to have co-hosts with me but they were either busy or blocked out by the Uverright statue so I'm alone. Again, super busy month so not a ton of updates from me. So until next time, bye for now. –really tired and not enthusiastic right now-
