Hello! I'm so sorry that's it's been so long since I've published, but did I tell you that I wasn't going to have internet for two weeks? It ended up being 2 months...ahahaha, and if I didn't tell you guys, I'm so sorry! DX But! I did finish this story so I'll be updating every few days or so! Onto the story!


"My name is Chita! I am a member of the dark guild, Yume! The guild that will soon take over Fiore and will become its ruler!"

"Well, technically, you're the only member of that "dark" guild, master."

Natsu and the rest of the gang turned their head around and looked to see who had said that. "Who's there? Show yourself!"

Chita face-palmed himself. "You weren't supposed to say that, Hiro. It was supposed to be a secret! Wait, aren't you supposed to be in your room? What are you doing out here, this is adult's talk. Now run along now, and tend to the little girl that I kidnapped."

A boy of about the same age as Airlia came out of the shadows, well more like the dark hallway, and stepped towards the room. He had jet black hair, with dark, deep eyes with golden irises encircling them. In short, he was handsome for a 7-year old.

He's just as beautiful like Airlia, with her long blond hair, rosy lips and cheeks, and azure eyes. Kids these days are so beautiful now, what's happening to the world? Lucy thought wildly.

"Well, where were we? Ah, yes, once you're in my maze, you will never find a way out again! You'll be stuck here, for all eternity, stuck in my world of dreams, never to wake again and to see your beloved sunlight! Mwaha-!" "Uh, master, the reason why I'm even bothering to even come here was because Airlia wasn't here. I've come to ask you if you've seen her." Hiro interrupted.

"Hiro! Stop interrupting me! And why are you even bothering to call her name? And, no, I have not seen her at all. She's only a little toy so you could play with."

"She is not a toy!" Hiro glaring at him heatedly.

Chita looked at him skeptically.

"Airlia's my friend, she's not a toy to me, she's the first friend I've ever had, so don't call her a toy." Lucy and the rest of the gang turned towards to Hiro. He suddenly felt very self-conscious.

"Hiro was blushing madly now. "She doesn't make me feel lonely, and she likes me for who I am…so I don't want her to go."

He reminds me….of me. Lucy looked at him empathically.

"Hiro…..it's okay! Let's go back to my house, together!" Airlia said suddenly, coming out from behind Aphrodite's bed. She ran over to Hiro and grabbed his hand. "I promised that we'll be happy together with my mommy and daddy! You can come and live with us, so you don't have to be lonely. I'll stay with you!"

"W-what are you talking about?"

"When we grow, I'm going to be your wife! So don't go and kidnap another girl!" Airlia did an extremely cute pout to emphasize her point.

"W-w-what! You're c-cr-crazy!" Hiro was stuttering like an idiot, blushing cutely.

"Promise?" Airlia stuck out her pinky.

Hiro looked at her, and smacked himself. "Yes, I'll promise. But you can't go and get another boy too! Okay?" Hiro smiled for what seemed like his first genuine laugh.

Clap-clap-clap

"Aww, such young love, it makes me puke with disgust! You, little girl, are not going anywhere. You'll be staying here, like this lady in a dream-like state, with Hiro. And Hiro, I never gave you permission to go with her, did I? That little girl you brought is very beautiful, and now that I think about it, she looks almost exactly like Aphrodite…" Chita started walking towards her, but was stopped by Erza and Gray. "You're not going anywhere near her, you pimpled freak!"

"*Gasp* How dare you call me that! I'll show you who has pimples!" Chita suddenly did a weird chant and pointed to Gray. "Hmph!"

A moment passed and nothing happened. "Huh, nothing happened you old fart. Ha! It shows that you're not a mage after all."

"Hehehehe, I wouldn't be so sure about that. Why don't you look at a mirror, pretty boy?"

"What? What's he talking about Gray?" Natsu turned to look at Gray, only to see a man with a bad case of pimples. "Aaaaaah! Who's the freak with the acne problems!"

"What'd you say, Pinky! You want a piece of me?"

Erza and Lucy looked at Gray and started laughing wildly at the sight of Gray.

"What? What's so funny?" Gray yelled.

"Pfff! Of course not Gray, here have a look." Lucy handed him a mirror out of nowhere. "Is there something on my face or something?" Gray said while holding towards his face. At the sight of his face, his eyes turned as wide as saucers. "AAAAAAAHH! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FACE?

"HAHAHAHAH! That's what you get for insulting my exquisite face like that!" Chito yelled triumphantly.

"Turn my face back this instant!"

"Hmmmm…how about…no."

"Why you—"

"Nuh-uh-uh! If you do that, your face will stay like that forever! Heeheehee!" Chita cackled wickedly. "Now, who will be my next victim? Let's see…." His eyes scan the mages in the room and landed on Lucy. "Oh-ho-ho! Lookie here, another blonde beauty! You will join my collection of blonde beauties (which is only Aphrodite) and when that little girl grows up, she too, will join it. He went towards Airlia first, and was about to grab her until Hiro came in front of her.

"Don't touch her! She will not join your collection!" He said vehemently. He stood there, like a knight in shining honor. (That sounded so cliché…..)

"Hmph, fine, I'll deal with you later. Now I have another blonde to take." He stalked towards Lucy.

For some reason, Lucy couldn't move at all. She stood there helpless as Chita crept closer and closer.

Get away from him! Aphrodite yelled to her. He will imprison you like he did to me. And he is no mage at all. He uses charms to trick you. Right now, he's using one of his manipulating charms, his favorite. It's the one where he can manipulate your mind however he wants, even into submission. Hurry, you must escape from here!

I can't, Aphrodite! What do I do? I can't even move my limbs. He's comi—

Before she can finish her telepathic message back to Aphrodite, Chita was already upon her. He grabbed both of her arms and his face was too close to hers for comfort.

"Now, to put you to slee—"

"Move." Natsu growled, suddenly appeared at her side.

Chita looked to Lucy's side and barely registered what happen. He quickly got over his shock, and said. "Possessive, aren't we? Sorry boy, but she's mine."

Chita grabbed her arm, but then he got blasted away quickly with a gust of fire. He flew to the other side of the room and made a huge crater in the jewel incrusted wall. "Fuhh…why you imbecile!"

Natsu used his arm to encircled Lucy's waist, to ensure him that she won't leave and become a victim to his charms. "I already told you to get away from Lucy, she's mine." Natsu said with such emotion, that Lucy couldn't help but blush. "You better go through me before you can get to her." Natsu growled.

"Hmph, fine, you just sign your death contract."

"No, you have to go through me, too." Erza appeared at their side. "Sorry I came a bit late, he put a charm on me when I wasn't paying attention. And that bastard, to actually use charms on me, what a pathetic being."

"And don't forget me! I'm here also." Gray stood next to Erza, apparently cured of his pimples. "How did your pimples disappear?" Chita turned his attention to Gray.

"HAHAHAH, apparently when Natsu blasted you off to the wall, it must've broken something to make this acne problem go away. And now we all know that you're no mage at all, you're just a stupid ordinary human who uses charms to scare people into thinking you're a real mage." Then he turned to the boy.

"Hey, Hiro right?" Gray asked him.

"Huh?" Hiro looked up startled. "Yes? Do you need something?" He said timidly. Did I do something wrong?

"Well, you're his apprentice right? Ex-apprentice actually, but do you know where the rest of his charms are his charms are? He's controlling the rest of them somewhere else."

"NO! Hiro, I command you to not tell them where they are. As your master, do not tell them, or I'll throw you out on the streets! Because of me, you have a roof over your head and food to eat!" Chita yelled.

Hiro looked at Chita with a distant and cold look to his face, making it as though he was more mature than his years. "Yes, you did take me in, but you were the one I was even here in the first place.
