Timeskip 7 years later (in this story Gajeel and Wendy already joined, and the Edolas stuff already happened)

Akuba's POV

It's been 7 years since I've last seen Natsu. Shadow Dragon Slaying magic is quite useful for times like these. I'm 17 now,the original age I was in my world. I've been thinking a lot and I think I'm going to join a guild. Still don't know which one though. I was thinking about Fairy Tail but I don't know if it's the best choice... I mean I could join another guild and show off my skills in the GMG (Grand Magic Games) or I could not show my magic at all in Fairy Tail and only reveal it to the master...

Ok, I'm going to join Fairy Tail but keep my identity and most of my magic hidden. I shared my idea to Ryuu and he agreed. "I think we should join, but be solo with the exception of you." I suggested. He nodded. I re quipped a black cloak with a hood and hid Ryuu in the cloak. I walked towards Fairy Tail and stopped in front of the guild. "I'm starting to have second thoughts.." I whispered to Ryuu. "Then snap out of it! We decided! We are not changing the decision!" He punched me lightly. I nodded and placed my hand on the guild doors. Hesitant, I opened to doors and walked in with my head low. Stares were coming my way but I dis guarded it. "Um excuse me were is your master?" I asked the famous Mirajane. "Upstairs!" She smiled. I walked to the master's office and knocked the door and opened it. "Excuse me, but are you the master of this guild?" I asked facing him. "Yes I am. What business do you have with Fairy Tail?" He asked. I lifted my head, "I would like to join the guild." I said calmly facing him. His face lit up. "Of course you can! What's your name and what magic do you use?" He asked.

"Uhh, my name is Akuba and I'm have ice magic. Also can you not reveal my identity to the others?" I asked. "Of course! Go to Mirajane and ask for your guild mark!" I exclaimed. I nodded and exited the office. I went to Mirajane, "Master said I could join the guild, can I have my mark? Blue and right shoulder." I asked. She nodded and stamped my shoulder. The master came out of his office and gestured me to come. He leaded us to a stage. "LISTEN UP BRATS! WE HAVE A NEW GUILD MEMBER!" He shouted. Everyone stared at me then started cheering. I went off stage and sat alone. I heard Ryuu's stomach grumble. "I'm sorry I'll get some food for you." I whispered. Then I heard my stomach grumble... I went outside in the shadows and joined the shadows with Ryuu so no one could see us. I took out a fish out of my bag and handed it to Ryuu.

I summoned some lightning and shoved it in my mouth. It was sour but the good type of sour. I came out of the shadows and entered the guild. Then Wendy, Gajeel, Natsu and their cats entered. I quickly sat at a random table but I found myself sitting with the Titania and Gray. "Hello, Master didn't say your name. What is it?" Erza asked. "Um," Shit! Think of something! "Mikasa!" I said thinking of the anime Attack On Titan. "I'm Erza." She held her hand in front and I shook it. "Yo! I'm Gray. What's your magic?" He asked. "Ice magic." I answered. "Really? Cool! Fight me!" He shouted. "Wait, what? Fight you?" I asked. He nodded, "It'll be interesting since we both use ice magic!" I thought for a minute then agreed to his duel. I went outside before the match and placed Ryuu on a roof so he could watch it. "Hey! Mikasa! Come on let's fight!" Gray yelled. I went back and saw the whole guild watching.

I walked into position and brought one of my hands to my hidden sword Glacier gave me, and the other in front of my face. The guild master was watching from the balcony and he counted down, "3,2,1.. START!" He yelled I got out my sword and leaped further away from Gray. My sword was iron and the middle was made by a rare magical ore named, Iclone. Master's eyes widened when he saw my sword and he gripped the rails hard. "This is going to be hard for Gray.." I heard him mumble. "Ice make: Hammer!" Gray yelled. He leaped at me, "Ice make: Wall update 50%!" I summoned a huge thick wall of ice and he hit the ice but the wall didn't even get scratched. "What?! That should of made it crack!" He exclaimed in shock. "HAHA!" Natsu laughed from the sidelines. "Let me join!" He yelled about to run in, but Erza stopped him. "This is Gray's fight, and obviously his opponent isn't weak." Erza stated. "Ice Make: Prison!" Gray yelled. The prison surrounded me and I smirked. I walked up to the bars and broke them easily with one hand and started eating it. A second later I finished the whole prison. "Thanks for the meal, I feel a lot better!" I grinned. "Ice Dragon's ROAR!" I shouted. Everyone's eyes widened as it hit Gray and he flew back and was about to hit a house, "Ice make: Wall Spikes!" I shouted summoning a wall with sharp spikes behind him. I grinned as he hit the wall with the spikes but I made it blunt so it wouldn't kill him.

"ARGH!" Gray cried as he hit the wall, and with that he blacked out. Suddenly cheers from the crowd came and they congratulated me, Wendy was about to heal him, "Wendy, I'll do it. He was my opponent after all." I said as I walked up to him. I knelt down to him and healed him with my Sky dragon slaying magic but made it look like normal healing magic. Wendy stared at me and I smiled gently, "He should rest, I hurt him pretty badly! I didn't even have to use my sword!" I laughed. Master came down, "Do you have anything to tell us?" He asked. I nodded. "I'm an Ice Dragon Slayer, my real name is Akuba though I will not show my appearance. Yet." I stated. Ryuu came off the roof and flew on my head, "Yo, I'm Ryuu, Akuba's exceed." He said in his deep voice. Carla's eyes nearly sparkled when she saw him and Happy sat on Natsu's shoulder and looked in jealousy. A large crowd surrounded me but Natsu shoved them all away. "Hey! I'm Natsu! Let's fight!" He invited. I shook my head. "Ice vs Fire is definitely unfair." I said, even though I could beat him easily. "Come on! Please!" He begged. But Erza interrupted. "She's a new guild member, show respect." She glared. "Aye!" He shouted in fright. I went over to Gray and carried him over my back. "I should get him to the infirmary." And I went upstairs to the infirmary. "Funny, I never told her where it was.." Mira mumbled to herself. "Whoops." I whispered to myself.

As I carried Gray to the infirmary he was sleep talking to himself. "Ur.." He mumbled. I chuckled. When we finally got to the infirmary I laid him on a free bed and sat on a chair near him. I summoned a flare of fire and ate it out of hunger. "Taste like marshmallows.." I mumbled. I summoned a fish for Ryuu and gave it to him. He ate it all and laid on my head. "Hey, Ryuu." I said. "Yeah, what's up?" He replied popping the "p". "Do you think we should of said the whole truth?" I asked. Ryuu shrugged. Suddenly someone grabbed my arm. "What do you mean whole truth?" Gray asked. "How long were you awake?" I asked calmly. "As long as I need to. Tell me, what truth." Gray asked with worry in his eyes. "None of your business, Gray." I said sternly, not looking in his eyes. I looked away and a small frown appeared on my face. "Your now apart of this guild, your apart of Fairy Tail. Your our family. Family never keep secrets. Tell me." He assured. "I-I-I.." I stuttered nervously. Ryuu bit his lip but said nothing. "I-I don't get it.. Why do you accept and trust people so easily.." I stuttered again. Fucking hell! Stop stuttering, your acting like a idiot! My thoughts yelled at me. Gray sat up and turned my head. My hood nearly came off but I quickly put it back. Then he hugged me. His cold body didn't effect me at all but I could feel the warmth in his heart. "I accept you, you may of beat me in a battle in strength but I can tell you care for family, even if you don't show your emotions. I trust you, because your my nakama, your my new sister, your my family, even though I don't know you that much, I can tell." He hugged me tighter and a small blush crawled on my face. Wait? What? I knew I didn't like love Gray, but the blush appeared on my face because how much he trust me and accepts me. He let go and smiled. "You don't have to tell me, but please tell me when you trust me." And he left.
