Gajeel walked into the guild holding a bloody shirt to his forearm, a few people turned and stared at him but most had leaned to accept that Gajeel liked to fight while on a job.

"Hey girly, where's the Master?"

Gajeel asked Mirajane as he sat down at the bar.

"He's at the Masters Meeting."

"Well when will he be back?"

"He should be back by tomorrow."

Gajeel growled.

"Fine, can you get me a beer then?"

"Of course Gajeel."

Mirajane left and Gajeel turned to look at the guild.

"You know, you could try to be nicer to people."

A voice said. Gajeel jumped slightly and turned to see Alya sitting on the stool next to him. He hadn't even realized that she was there until she had talked to him. Alya had heard Gajeel jump and laughed slightly.

"How long have you been there?"

"For about ten minutes before you came in. You didn't see me?"

"No. How did you do that?"

"How did I do what?"

Alya had a small smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.

"Don't mess with me Singer." Gajeel had given Alya the nickname of Singer after she had been caught playing guitar and singing one night. "Even if I didn't see you I should have heard you, your heart your breath something."

"So you're saying that you didn't even know I was here until I spoke?"

Gajeel growled in annoyance. Mirajane came back with a beer for Gajeel.

"So Alya how did your experiment go?"

Mirajane asked handing Alya a small cup of Hot Chocolate.

"Apparently it worked amazingly. Gajeel didn't even know that I was here until I talked to him."

"What exactly are you two talking about!"

Gajeel finally exploded. Alya laughed at the sound of his anger.

"I wanted to see if I could create a barrier around myself that makes it impossible for some one to find me. Apparently it worked."

"And why did you use me as a test subject?"

Gajeel asked through gritted teeth.

"Well Uta's to close to a dragon, and you know how they are, and Wendy and Natsu are out on jobs so you were the next logical choice."

Alya smiled then stiffened and put her hand to her head.

"What's wrong?"

Now that the barrier was gone Gajeel could hear Alya's heartbeat speed up. Uta had pulled Wendy, Natsu, and himself aside after the fight and told them that if ever they hear Alya's heartbeat quicken with no reason that they could see, then they should first ask if something was wrong and then find him.

"Something's off." Alya heard Gajeel get off the bar stood, she reached out and grabbed Gajeel's wrist. "This isn't like that." Alya knew what Gajeel thought was happening. "I'm not transforming."

"Maybe not but still." Gajeel thought for a second. "Girly can you go find Uta?"

"Of course Gajeel."

Mirajane quickly left the bar area. Alya gasped and let go of Gajeel's wrist.

"What? What happened?"

"Something's really wrong."

Alya said gasping for breath.

"What happened?"

Uta came, almost running, up to the bar in his human form.

"Don't know, she just did...this."

Gajeel gestured to Alya, who was nearly doubled over in pain.

"Uta it's not that. It's not him."

Uta knew that Alya was talking about the side of her that she had inherited from her father, but the other gave Uta and Alya confused looks.
"It's not who?"

"Nothing. Alya what is wrong?"

Uta knelt down in front of Alya.

"Someone from the guild is gone, the song it's just gone."

"What does she mean someone's gone? What does she mean the song."

"It is nothing."

"Don't tell me it's nothing! Every time she brings up these songs you shut her up now what are you talking about!"

"It's nothing."

Alya said to both Gajeel and Uta. She was trying to pinpoint which song had gone and all the yelling and worrying was making it hard to constraint. Suddenly the name that went with the song burst in to her mind at the same time that Jet and Droy ran through the doors.

"Levy's gone!"

All three said at the same time.
