A new day a new beginning, Mira looked like a corpse lying on her bed, the window was wide open and the long light purple curtains flowing in the gentle breeze. Outside the wheat fields strecthed for miles also following the breeze they swayed gently. Mira smoothly sat up on the bed and stretched letting out a huge yawn.

At the opposite side of the mansion Natsu was lying in his bed, a similar blue curtain swayed about in his room. He slept in a burial-like position, hands crossed with intertwined fingers along with closely fully stretched legs. There was a knock on the mansion door, Natsu sat up at once his eyes shot open.

'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!' Mira could be heard from her room. 'NATSU! DOOR!'

Natsu didn't answer.

'NATSUUU?!' She shouted. 'DOOR!' Still no response.

'EMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAA!' She tried a different approach. 'EMMA!' Nothing.

'EMILY?!' She shouted just as loud but it sounded more like a question, even she could see the stupidity in asking a child to open to door to a stranger.

Another, louder knock, sounded out and echoed around the house.

'Are they ignoring me?' She thought to herself.

She got up, determined and sure. 'I can do this myself.' She put on her sleeveless, ankle-length maroon dress along with a pleated skirt. She moved towards the door of her room and went through it. A deep breath later she stood in front of the door.

'What am I afraid of? I was THE most powerful Demon to ever...Demon. There is a person on the other side of this door, a normal human and I'm about to open the door and ask what he wants. Say good morning and maybe ask it about its day.' She reached out to open to door and stopped, she was indeed feeling anxiety however she was also very, very excited. It was going to her first lone encounter with a human who she planned not to kill. 'Yaaaaah.' She shimpered and jumped around on the spot spinning. 'Yessss!' She said it alound.

'Hello.' A voice said from the other side of the door.

Mira quickly stopped and focused, she slapped her cheeks with her hands and put on a huge smile. She opened the door.

'Welcome! What can I...' Her eyes widened. It was Algaran, Miras eyes shot to the left and spotted a red haired woman. 'Oh, it's you?' Her smile disappeared. 'And you've brought a friend.'

The red haired woman stood there dumbfounded, she could see the clear resemblence to the painting which was hung up in the throne room of the demon castle. The white silver hair, the piercing gaze and the scar which ran down her cheeck and onto her neck.

Algaran stood there, he just borke the word he gave Mirajane and told the present demon queen about her.

'My name is Erza...' The red haired woman said suddenly. 'Erza Scarlet.'

'You smell like a Demon.' Mira said bluntly. 'I thought I told this one to not tell anyone about me being here.' She shot a glance at him, he could feel it. Sweat flowed down his forehead like a waterfall. He did not respond, it was probably the best option to not anger Mirajane at the moment, she didn't look very happy.

'It ia an honour to meet you, Miss.' Erza blurted out.

'You recognize me?' A surprised expression appeared on her face.

'Of course, You may not have been the most...popular Demon Queen but there were books written about your magic prowess and although I do not agree with your methods I always respected you for your strength.'

'Mira has a fan?' A surprised voice came from behind her.

'I think so.' Mira answered.

Natsu appeared into sight and stood beside Mira in the doorway. 'Would you like to come in?' He offered.

The action moved to the large living room, decorated by two sofas opposite eachother with a table placed between them and a chair at the horizontal edge. Mira and Emily sat on one sofa and faced Erza and Algaran whole Natsu sat in the chari. Emma was moving around them placing a cup of tea in front of everyone.

'What brings you here? Ms. Erza.' Natsu broke the silence.

'I was told by Algaran that Lady Mirajane was here, it sounded ridiculous but he's usually not one to joke so I decided to check it out. It was even harder for me to believe that the Dathly Hallow Natsu would be here but I don't believe he's here.'

'PFFFT.' Mira almost spat out her tea. Erza completly didn't take into consideration that Natsu would look like himslelf, that meant one thing, Natsu didn't look strong enough to be considered Himself. 'You hear that? The Legendary Mage Natsu isn't here. HAHAHAHA.'

'Ouch' Natsu thought.

'What are your intentions now that you confirmed Mirajane to be here?'

'Originally I cam here because if someone with Lady Mirajanes power would show up I could threaten my kingdom, I had to at least check it out.'

'I won't lay a single hand on aynthing of yours, you can believe me on that.' Mirajane said proudly.

'Which brings me onto an issue, I was told by Algaran that you had killed 3 of his subordinates. As much as I respect you Lady Mirajane, if this was a sign of hostility and you do pose danger to my poeple I will not be afraid to come at you with everything I've got.'

Natsu facepalmed. 'And indirect challenge to Mira can never end well with her temperament.'

'Ohh.' She smiled devilishly. 'What if I don't want to give you a reason for me killing trash?'

'Mira...' Natsu said.

'Then I'm afraid I will see this as a sign of rebellion from this village, it will be wiped from the face of-'

The room darkened and set behind Mira were large black bat-like wings. The intensity of magic made it look like it was pitch black outside. Erza did not want to be left behind, a loud crack of thunder sounded out outside and a lightning broke through the top of the mansion into where they sat. in front of Erza was a sword she had summoned, it was large and donned a skull and wings on its hilt.

'I studied every book written about you, I've also had access to the secret library where I found books documenting your magic. Copying it was difficult but I'm happy with the results.' She grasped the sword, black smoke surrounded her and similar bat-like wings formed behind her.

'A Demon Soul Release.' Natsu thought to himself. 'Unlike Mira's it feels imperfect but it must have been a hard magic to even cast at all. It brings out the darkest and most concentrated magic from a demons very soul. A soul is always hard to access.'

'Let's let them go at it, trsut me.' He said to Algaran as he led out Emily and Emma. Algaran followed.

'Show me what you're made of, kid. ' Mirajane taunted. 'My plan was to regain some power before taking what's rightfully mine but now I guess I'll get it now.'

Erza launched at her, her wings lashed out propelling her. She tried to slash at Mira with her sword but was stopped by Mira. Mira used her index finger to stop the force of the sword. Erza didn't let that faze her, she instantly did a 180 to go in for a kick. Mira again blocked it with her hand slightly pushing her away.

'That's what demons get as a leader?'

Erza went for a puch, since she was still in range and sure enough Mirajane deflected it. This time pushing her away further, she continued by adding in a large ball of dark energy forcing Erza into the floor. The house shook as the dust flew off shleves.

Erza got up again, she could feel the pain in her stomach. Mirajane walked up to her and bent over slightly. She looked into Erza's eyes.

'You know, I've made some mistakes. They cost me 400 years. I never took care of my underlings and in the end I did regret it all. The biggest regret is sacrificing so much and going down in history as the villain.' She stretched out her hand for Erza to grab. 'Listen kid, you want to be able to protect your subjects, this much power isn't enough. Come back some other day and I'll show you a few good tricks.''

Erza looked up at Mira and hesitated. She had a few quick thoughts about what just happened and then grabbed her hand. She got up and dispersed their magic. 'Your Demon Soul is not bad but there's too much relaxation while you use it. Come by in a few days, I'll show you what you need to know.
