"Achoo!" Jasmine sneezedloudly while her and Ruth traveled through the forest. Ruth looked at Jasmine and stated. "Gosh, bless you."
"Thank you. That really came out of nowhere. Hey! Do you think Oni-Chan was talking about me just now?!" Jasmineasked excitedly. "Do you think he still remembers me?!"
"You ARE his little sister." Ruth stated as she looked at Jasmine. "It's only natural he would remember you."
"Guess you're right." Jasmine nodded before looking at the files she had in her hand. "Now according to these files from the magic council, Jose should be around here somewhere."
"Quick question, how'd you get ahold of those files?" Ruth asked Jasmine curiously.
"Uh..." Jasmine begansweating like crazy as she waved her hand back and forth. "Let's not worry about how I got ahold of these!"
"You stole it..." Ruth stated as she looked at Y/N bored(T_T).
"I didn't steal! I just... borrowed without permission."
"So you stole them."
"No!"
"Borrowing without asking and stealing are basically the same thing!"
"Call it what you want, Ruth, I borrowed without permission!"
"Yeah, Yeah." Ruth sighed in defeat. "If the council comes after you, Jasmine, I'm not saving you."
"How mean?! You'd leave me to be arrested! I'm your friend aren't I?!"
"If you borrowed those files, Jasmine, then there's no reason for them to come after you, so why are you so worked up unless you did steal it?"
"Stupid cat." Jasminemumbled.
"I'm an Exceed, not a cat."
Suddenly the girls felt a sickly presence. It was so evil and it smelt like death. The girls started getting a little nervous when suddenly an evil voice asked. "Who are you?" Ruth and Jasmine looked around until they saw Jose standing there with his
arms crossed.
"I am Jasmine andthis here is Ruth." She gestured to Ruth as Jasmine said Ruth's name. "We are looking for Jose Porla?" Jasmine statedas she looked at the files reading his name.
"That would be me." Jose replied with a wicked smile that caused Ruth to tense and glare at Jose.
"No way, you're him?!" Jasmine's mouthdropped.
"Why are you looking for me?" Jose asked Jasmine.
"I wanted to ask you a question on one of your former members. You see one of them was my brother, however I can't see, to remember anything about him. I can only recall a few things like iron and dark clothes. I came to you hoping you would help me find
him." Jasmine explained to Jose.
"Okay, I'll make you a deal, Jasmine." Jose began as he uncrossed his arms. Jasmine looked at Jose with curiosity while Ruth tensed more and narrowed her eyes at him. "I'll help you find your brother if you take down a certain guild for me."
"What guild and why do you want me to take this guild down?" Jasmine asked Jose.
"The guild I speak of is Fiore's current #1 guild in all of Fiore, Fairy Tail." Jose told Jasmine who stared at Jose in shock while Ruth figured something was up. "A long time ago, Fairy Tail had kidnapped a rich girl named Lucy Heartfilia to use as a
hostage to take all the Heartfilia's money. My guild was hired to save the girl after we decided to try and help the poor girl. We had succeeded in catching the girl but when we were about to return her home, they attacked and stole her again. Of
course we struck back. However... we were beaten and framed by Fairy Tail in the end. They claimed we tried to kidnap the blonde girl when we were just trying to save her and return her to the safety of her home. The council believed them and my guild
was forced to disband." Jasmine stared at Jose with sorrow, buying the story while Ruth stared at him with disbelief. Jose looked at the ground. "I know it's hard to believe it but my guild may have been a dark guild, but we weren't bad."
"Clearly." Ruth mumbled as she rolled her eyes.
"I humbly ask you help me take down that fake guild." Jose pleaded.
"She isn't doing that!" Ruth snapped at Jose. "Taking down a guild isn't worth the name of her brother! She'd be ruining the life's of tons of people!"
"One moment." Jasmine told Jose as she pulled Ruth aside. Jose nodded slowly as he watched the two girls put their backs to him. "Ruth, I think we should do it."
"Are you crazy?!" Ruth exclaimed. "Don't tell me you bought that ridiculous story!"
"Of course I do! He sounds sincere and honest. Besides, Fairy Tail was always getting into trouble by the council for their recklessness so why not?"
"Underline the word was."
"Come on, Ruth stop being so stubborn."
"Stop being so trusting!"
"We'd be helping Jose and finding my brother! It's a win win."
"It's a win for the wrong side, Jasmine! This man is messing with you! You've been in Earthland longer than I have and yet I know Fairy Tail May have been reckless but it's a good guild!"
"Look, you don't have to help me, but I am doing this!" Jasmine told Ruth seriously.
"Fine." Ruth crossed her arms and turned away from Jasmine. "Do what you want. I won't be helping you taking down an innocent guild. As for you, Jose," Ruth glared at Jose who looked at her, "you may have fooled Jasmine with this little act you're putting
on, but you haven't fooled me. I know no matter what mask you put on, you are still rotten on the inside." Ruth took one last look at Jasmine and stated. "Come find me when you have your brother." She then flew off swiftly.
"Wait, Ruth, where would I find you!" Jasmine exclaimed but Ruth was already gone. Jasmine looked at Jose after thinking about what she was getting herself into. "Am I being selfish, Jose?"
"Of course not, Jasmine. You just want to find your long lost brother. I would most definitely do the same thing if I was in your shoes."
Jasmine smiled feeling slightly better. She then asked him. "Okay, where would I find this guild at?"
"Magnolia." Jose smiled wickedly in his mind.
