Chapter 4- Welcome to Fairy Tail, Our Family
*Even when you lose, you win*
"Hey, Robin. Where's K?" asked Shuuko as she flicked her red hair back over her shoulder.
"Oh, um… she's still at home sleeping," answered Robin with some hesitance in her voice.
"Seriously? Why?" asked Lucas as he popped his head in front of Shuuko. Shuuko growled and bopped him on the head.
"Stay on your side," she hissed as she watched him rub his head.
"Meanie," he pouted as he stuck his tongue out childishly. Shuuko just rolled her eyes. Then she faced Robin again.
"Why is she sleeping in?" she asked as she then began fingering the ring hanging around her neck. Robin never really understood what it meant for her. After all, Robin was still pretty new to the group.
"Um, yesterday, we um, were out on our job and um, we heard someone cry for help so we um…went to go and help. Um—" she began when Lucas shut her up.
"Stop saying 'um'. It's really annoying," he told her. Shuuko began fuming so she stood up and launched a kick to his side.
"Shut up jerk!" she shouted as she huffed and sat down. "I'm sorry Robin. Please continue," she added as she fixed her yellow dress.
"Well, the person we saved wanted to join Fairy Tail but knowing Kaira, she fought him. He challenged her first though," Robin answered.
"Poor boy. So, what happened?" asked Shuuko as she played with her necklace again.
"Well, he pushed Kaira to use her magic instead of just Aquamarine," she said.
"What?!" exclaimed both Shuuko and Lucas who was up again. That caught everyone's attention.
"What's going on? Are you talking about Kaira?" asked one person.
"Yeah! Apparently a guy challenged her to a duel and he was able to make her use her magic!" exclaimed Shuuko as she slammed her hand on the bar top.
"What?!" one person exclaimed.
"Which one did she use?!" shouted another.
"Who was the guy?!" another said.
Robin began getting nervous but also upset because she kept getting interrupted. "Everyone shut up and let me finish!" she shouted. Everyone immediately shut up afterwards. They never heard her scream like that before. Or…it rarely happened. And when it did…
"Okay, anyway. This guy, Amon, wanted to join Fairy Tail but Kaira wouldn't have it. She said that if a guy like him couldn't take care of a weak robber, then he had no business to be in Fairy Tail, the strongest guild. He challenged her saying it was only because he was caught off guard so she took it. They fought but he ended up making her use her magic and also…" she paused and waited for everyone to get the suspenseful feeling. Despite how she looks and acts, she enjoys having people on edge sometimes.
"And?" Lucas urged. Robin glared at him, making him gulp.
"And let's just say he was able to put a scratch on her and make her use the Hidden Mist and the Cyclone Blast," she finished. Everyone gasped and began talking to each other in loud murmurs.
"This Amon guy was able to cut her and make her use those two attacks?" one person said.
"No way. I want to meet this Amon guy now," another said.
"No one has ever harmed her. They couldn't," another voice chimed in.
Just then, the guild doors were thrown open and Kaira came in, rubbing her eyes and trailing her spear behind her.
"Mornin'," she said as she yawned.
"Hey Kaira! Is it true that you got harmed yesterday?" Cail, a minor mage from Fairy Tail asked.
Kaira frowned and instinctively touched her cheek were a healing scar resided. "Oh gosh it's true! Kaira got her butt kick, Kaira got her butt kicked!" sang Lucas as he laughed.
Shuuko joined in and laughed at her. "Miss Bullet Proof ain't so bullet proof no more," she laughed as she locked her elbow with Lucas and danced around Kaira. Kaira's vein popped out and she pulled Shuuko from the collar.
"What did you say Tick-Tock?" she hissed as she head butted her.
"You heard me Water Brain," Shuuko shot back as she pushed just as much force to Kaira as she did to her.
"Why I outta—" began Kaira when Lucas joined in.
"Now, now ladies," he said but he didn't get any farther than that because both girls punched him in the face and sent him flying to the opposite wall.
"Stay outta this!" they shouted together. Then they glared at each other and were going to throw punches at each other when Robin separated them.
"Stop fighting you two!" she shouted in a scary tone. "If you don't I'll bind you up in plants and make them feel very uncomfortable," she threatened as she let a dark aura seep through her.
Both girls gulped, even Kaira because it was rare for Robin to be this scary, and they backed off.
"I'm going for a walk," Kaira mumbled as she walked out of the guild. She threw her spear over her shoulders and walked around Magnolia, just looking around.
Just then, she smelled a very familiar scent. "Amon?" she whispered as she began looking around. That's when she saw him walking around aimlessly, occasionally kicking a pebble and keeping it suspended in the air for a couple of seconds before letting it fall.
"Amon!" she exclaimed as she jogged up to him. He looked up surprised at first then he grinned.
"Yo Kaira. What's up?" he asked. Then he smirked and added, "Nice scar."
Kaira glared and growled a bit at him but decided to ignore it. "Just walking around. Needed a breather from the guild," she answered. "What about you?"
"I was actually on my way there. You said I can join right?" he asked.
"Oh…right. You are pretty good. I'm still confused by how you were able to get me," she told him as they began walking towards Fairy Tail.
"Well, I knew you would use your powers eventually so I came up with a whole bunch of different ways to lure you to a certain spot. I actually wasn't expecting the whole mist thing. It came out of nowhere but it helped," he answered.
"You do know I made the mist right?" Kaira told him with a dead pan look on her face.
"Eh? You did?!" he exclaimed as he looked at her with wide eyes.
"You didn't figure that out?" she asked with disbelief written on her face.
"Well…" he trailed off laughing nervously while rubbing the back of his head. "What magic is that then? What kind of mage are you?" he asked.
"I'm a Water Dragon Slayer," Kaira stated proudly while she lifted her head upwards with pride. Amon rolled his eyes and elbowed her in the side.
"You have no right to feel proud since I harmed you," he told her. She glared up at him.
"Shut up! You got lucky! And plus I wasn't using my full potential," she fought back with a pout. He laughed and blushed a little as he watched her.
It was his second time seeing her, but he had to admit. She was a beauty. And well, being a guy who isn't dense, he could appreciate that. But he didn't think anything else. After all, it was his second meeting with her.
"That's what they all say but it makes you look a little pathetic," he whispered in her ear before he laughed and jogged forward a little to evade her coming punch.
"I'm gonna kill you Amon!" she shouted as she began chasing him. He laughed long and hard as he continued running towards Fairy Tail, the place he has always wanted to join.
When he finally arrived, he ran through the open door and accidently crashed into someone.
"Kya!" she exclaimed.
"I am so sorry!" Amon apologized as he got up and helped the girl up. She had long red hair and clear gray colored eyes. She wore a dark yellow dress that slit at her legs, exposing her thighs, and black combat boots. She had on a gold chain with a tiny golden ring that had a small gem that looked like a raindrop for a necklace. He also noticed a yellow Fairy Tail guild mark on her thigh, visible where the dress cut.
"You better be. That hurt man," she said as she looked up. "Oh…I'm sorry," she then said as her eyes widened.
Amon was going to say something but he felt something hit his head hard and that made him stumble forward and see stars in front of him for a bit. "That was nothing compared to what I wanna do to you but…now that we're here…Welcome to Fairy Tail Amon," Kaira said as she slapped his back hard making him closer to the floor.
"This is the guy who scratched you?!" exclaimed the girl with red hair.
"Oh what a pleasure to meet you," a guy with yellow hair said as he rushed and shook his hand. His hair was spiked at the top of his head while the sides of his head were buzzed. He had brown eyes that held a mischievous glint in them.
Mental note; beware of this dude, Amon thought as he shook his hand.
"Um, thanks…" he said awkwardly.
"Everyone! This is Amon and he wants to join Fairy Tail!" shouted Kaira as she then led Amon to Jade. "Get him his guild mark please. I have some unfinished business to attend to," Kaira told her.
"First of all, the master wants to see you," Jade said in her sweet voice. Kaira sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Very well," she answered as she walked to the back.
She knocked on the door and waited. "Come in," she heard. She walked in and looked around the bright place.
"You called for me master?" she asked.
"Yes, take a seat." Kaira did as she was told and waited for the master to turn around. When that was done, Kaira stared into the warm brown eyes of their master.
Her once pink hair was now stained grey but she still looked as young as ever. "Master Nashi, what's wrong?" asked Kaira.
"I hear you were successful in your mission but you got in a duel with a person," the master said with a stern look.
"Oh, haha, about that…" began Kaira while she laughed nervously and looked around the room.
"Kaira, I know you are a Dragon Slayer and as a fellow Dragon Slayer, I can tell you it's pretty hard to stay out of trouble, but you have to understand that it's not good what you did. What if it hadn't been a mage but just someone who wanted to act tough? You could have harmed him," Nashi said as she stood up and began pacing the room.
"Yes, I'm sorry about that. Although, I only started to use my magic when he used his. Plus, we have a new member now and he seems promising," Kaira stated with a grin. Nashi looked at her and smiled.
"Yes, well I'm sure he is. Why don't you introduce me to him?" Nashi said as she led Kaira out of the office. Kaira nodded and walked in the middle of the guild.
She began looking for Amon but he found her first. "Kaira look! I finally got a Fairy Tail mark!" he exclaimed as he showed her his neck. There, on the right side of his neck, near his shoulder blade, was a white guild mark.
Nashi gasped next to Kaira and Kaira looked at her confused. There, in the guild master's eyes, was tears and she had her hand over her mouth.
"What's wrong master?" she asked. Nashi looked at them both and shook her head smiling.
"Nothing. I just…remembered something. Anyway, you must be the new member. Welcome to Fairy Tail. We are so pleased that you wanted to join us," Nashi said as she shook Amon's hand. "My name is Nashi Fullbuster and I'm the master of this guild," Nashi added.
"A pleasure to meet you. My name's Amon Saeki," Amon said. "Say, why is Fairy Tail called Fairy Tail though? It was the one question I always wanted to ask if I got the chance," he said.
Nashi chuckled then looked up at the ceiling. "Whether fairies have tails or not, or whether they even exist, nobody knows for sure. It's like an eternal mystery, an eternal adventure. That is Fairy Tail or so said the third and sixth guild master," she answered as a look of peace and sadness flashed across her face.
Everything seemed to quiet down as those words reached everyone's ears. Then Nashi shook her head and looked around. "Well this is unusual. Where's the liveliness?" she asked loudly. That's when everyone snapped out of that little trance and got back to normal.
"Anyway, thank you for joining our family. Kaira will show you around, won't you?" Nashi asked as she gave a look to Kaira. Kaira gulped and nodded.
"Of course master. I wouldn't have it any other way," she answered with a nervous laugh. Nashi smirked and walked away. Kaira gave a sigh of relief. "Man, even though she is the sweetest thing ever, she can be so scary it's not even funny," Kaira said as she sat down at the nearest table. Amon joined her.
"She looks really familiar," Amon said as he watched everyone.
"She is the daughter and daughter-in-law of some very popular mages during their time here at Fairy Tail," Kaira answered as she beckoned Jade over.
"Iced water please," she said. Jade nodded and smiled then left.
"Whose?" asked Amon.
"The daughter of Natsu Dragneel and the wife of Gray Fullbuster's son," she answered just as Jade brought her drink.
