The sun started to go down as Link and company approached Curtport. The trip had been rather uneventful, which was a sign that something bad was going to happen sooner or later. No one really talked along the trip, not even Cyrus, who had been quite out of character lately. The group traveled in silence until...

"Hey! Who are you?" Meredy asked, pointing at Link.

The blonde blinked. He had been there the entire time and they were just now noticing him? He had to sweat drop at that.

"Um, I've been here the entire time," he deadpanned,

The pinkette looked up and down at him. He did look familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was. She snapped when a thought hit her.

"You were the guy that gave me a foot rub right?" She asked with a smile.

Morrigan, Anna, and Cyrus all laughed. The rest didn't and instead sweat dropped. Link developed a tick mark.

"I was the little boy you were traveling with," he glowered. "You don't see the similarities?"

Meredy smiled.

"I see it now," she answered.

Cyrus laughed again. He seemed to be in much higher spirits than he was earlier. Link smiled when he noticed his friend's normal demeanor was coming back. His smile turned into a confused look as Anna, Ultear, Ivy, and Mai all leaned in close to his face.

"Um, can I help you?" He nervously asked.

They all leaned in closer.

"Why didn't you say you were really a grown man?" Ultear asked.

Link sweat-dropped.

"If I did tell you would you have believed me? I mean honestly," he deadpanned.

The four silently pondered this thought before finally reaching a conclusion. They all huffed as they backed up out of his space.

"No not really," Ivy answered.

Cyrus laughed.

"I didn't say anything because I want to be 'that guy.'"

Morrigan laughed.

"When are you not 'that guy?'"

The wolf demon smirked.

"I'm always 'that guy,' except when I know when people won't believe me."

The duo laughed as everyone watched. They all sweat-dropped at how alike those two were. It was almost disgusting to watch.

"I think we should get to the next town before it gets dark," Chun-Li said.

The demon duo ignored her and continued to laugh as they walked down the road towards Curtport. Cyrus suddenly stopped and looked back at Link.

"What town is coming up?"

The blonde blinked as he pulled out a map and looked down at it.

"A town called Curtport. The town has a mark that looks like some kind of cat with its mouth open," he answered.

Cyrus flinched.

"Shit! Sabertooth Guild."

Ultear and Meredy seemed to know what he was talking about since they didn't give him a confused look. The demon cursed as his body began to emit a dark purple energy and his features started to become more beastly.

Ultear narrowed her eyes.

"What about them?" She asked suspiciously.

The blue haired demon sighed.

"A while back I took something they wanted. They wanted Derek's...well one of Derek's swords, called Sori."

"What does it do?" Meredy asked, interested.

Cyrus sighed.

"Derek possessed multiple swords. He had an upper, his sentient swords, and his lower, magic swords. Sori was one of the upper. Sori was capable of manipulating ice on a level almost matching my own. Setsuna was his second most powerful sword."

Link blinked as he looked down at the sword that was strapped to his waist. He didn't know that.

"Where is it now?" Kasumi asked.

Cyrus smiled as he made a magic circle of ice appear in the air. The circle began to glow with dark purple energy as a sheathed sword popped out of the air. The sword was a katana inside a light blue scabbard. The power of the sword was obvious as the air around the sword began to freeze.

"I still have it."

Pyrrha raised her hand.

"W-wait, wh-who is D-D-Derek?" She asked weakly.

The demon's ears twitched at the soft and weak tone.

"He was the guy that we just fought. He also used to be my friend...but then he took an arrow to the knee." He smiled in remembrance.

He received silence in response. The only thing he received from that poor performance was the sound of a cricket chirping. The demon jabbed his finger to the side.

"At least that cricket thinks I'm funny."

He took as step forwards and the chirping stopped. Cyrus' face drained of color.

"I think I just killed it." He grimaced.

The group sweat-dropped as they continued on their way to Curtport.

The next day

The group were now in the middle of the bustling town of Curtport. All the people walked past them and proceeded with their lives as everyone took in the excitement. However, something had to ruin the moment and in this case it was a loud growl.

The group all turned to Link and Cyrus. The demon smiled.

"I just remembered we haven't eaten a thing since we were at Cattleya's house. So we haven't had anything to eat in about three days."

The women sweat-dropped. Link, however, was very confused.

"If we haven't eaten in three days why are we feeling it now?" He asked.

Cyrus smirked as he rubbed his belly.

"Being a demon has its perks. Lets eat."

The demon then pointed at a restaurant only a few feet away.

Later

The group all sat at a table in the middle of the restaurant, much to their dismay. This was partially due to the fact that all the men were staring at the women, Link receiving disturbing looks from the females, and Cyrus attacking his food.

Cyrus, Link, X-23 and Morrigan were eating steak with a salad for a side. Anna, Mai, Chun-Li and Ivy were all eating a deliciously green salad complete with some kind of sauce. Kasumi, Taki, and Akali were eating rice and some of of fish. Pyrrha had some tomato soup. Meredy and Ultear were eating a sandwich.

Taki gritted her teeth angrily before she slapped Cyrus on the back of the head.

"Must you eat like a wild animal?" She scolded.

The demon clutched the back of his head before glaring at the kunoichi.

"Yes, I'm a wolf."

She glared at him.

"No excuse."

Cyrus growled at her.

Before he could retort a voice resonated from behind the group. They all turned to see two men: a blonde one and a raven-haired one. They walked with confidence and had an aura that emitted what Cyrus would call 'smof'. (What that means is up to everyone else to decided.) To make matters worse, both of them had the mark of Sabertooth

The blonde one was a slim, yet muscular and well toned young man of average height. His hair was spiky that jetted out in every direction. He had slanted dark eyes with a small, thin scar above his right eye. His Sabertooth mark was located on his left shoulder. He wore a blue vest with golden outlining that exposed his chest, blue gloves that reached his middle biceps, cream pants held up by suspenders, and dark blue galosh-like footwear.

The raven-haired one was a slim young man of average height. His black hair was messy and almost reached his shoulders. He had red eyes with slitted pupils much like a snakes. He wore a long, black cape that reached his feet, golden edges and the Sabertooth mark on his right shoulder. He wore a plain bluish-grey shirt, brown cuffs, a blue sash, and a pale blue waist guard. He was wearing a pair of armored boots.

"Hello again Cyrus. I believe you have something that belongs to us," the blonde one said.

I've already said the disclaimer for Fairy Tail.
