Chapter 58: Bill's Remorseful Dance

Mirajane Strauss had lived a rather interesting life. With her brother and sister after incident involving a demon at a church they joined Fairy Tail. There she made friends with the other members her age, granted in her youth she often fought Erza and found Natsu crying to be cute she always tired opt make him cry. But evenly he made it to S Class. Granted Erza beat her to it.

However during a two-year period she was dealt two blows in the forms of "deaths" (turns out both were sent to another dimension). First her sister then her former rival.

However one of the best days of her life was what she thought was the anniversary of sister's death (long story), which was the day her sister returned.

The three of them hugged in the raining cemetery.

As they did a certain yellow triangle appeared.

"My, my Drink Tray you lived quite the life." Said Bill.

The next thing Mirajane knew was her waking up in her bed.

She looked around her room, she and her siblings had recently moved into their new house built by the lumberjacks in a quick amount of time.

She got up, stretched and got dressed for the day, did her hair and went downstairs where Lisanna was cooking breakfast.

"Good morning!" said Lisanna.

"Good morning." Said Mirajane taking a seat.

"So just the usual day?" asked Lisanna.

"Actually I heard Candy and Grenda are planning to join the guild." Said Mirajane.

"Really it's a about time." Said Elfman joining breakfast.

"Who do you think they're ask to mentor them?" asked Lisanna.

"I don't know it really depends on what they want." Said Mirajane she turned to Elfman, "But I do picture Grenda taking you, Gajeel or Natsu."

"Heh… I wouldn't mind taking her on." Laughed Elfman.

"Still I'm glad they're finally officially joining." Said Mirajane.

"You said it." Laughed Lisanna.

After they all finished eating breakfast they headed to the guildhall where Mirajane made breakfast for whoever ordered it for the day.

"The usual Mira!" called out Natsu.

"Same here!" said Natsu.

"Coming right up!" said Mirajane.

She began to grill fish for Happy and made the flammable pancakes for Natsu.

"Good morning Mira!" said Stan walking into the Guild Hall.

"Here for breakfast again?" asked Mirajane, "It's not because of Ford is it?"

"No… it's because Erza and Jellal are doing a lovey dovey making breakfast together thing this morning." Said Stan, "Do you know how schmaltzy they can get?"

"So you just left the kids?" asked Makarov as he ate his breakfast.

"It's not my fault if they didn't escape in time." Said Stan.

Back at the Mystery Shack.

Erza making eggs while Jellal was hugging her from behind and she was giggling.

"Is it too late to escape?" Dipper whispered to Mabel.

"I heard that…" said Erza.

Back at the Guild Hall.

"I want a breakfast sandwich today and put it on Erza's tab." Said Stan.

"She's evidently going to find out that you've been adding stuff to her tab." Said Mirajane.

"Whatever…" said Stan.

"So how has things been going with Ford?" asked Mirajane.

"Still haven't talked." Muttered Stan.

"I hope you'll be able to before you move out." Said Mirajane.

"If he doesn't want to talk." Muttered Stan, "I doubt you understand."

"I guess since hasn't interviewed me yet." Said Mirajane.

Stan stared at her.

"You're kidding." He said.

"Nope. I think he just thinks of me as the bartender." Said Mirajane, "Even though I introduced myself as an S-Class wizard."

Stan began to laugh.

"Are you going to tell him any time soon?" asked Stan.

"Probably not." Laughed Mirajane.

"Can someone take a picture of his face when you tell him! I want to see it." Said Stan.

"Will do!" said Mirajane.

Sometime later Mabel came in with Candy and Grenda. Marvelous and Carla were already there.

"All right, where do you want the marks and what color?" asked Mirajane.

"On my hand in magic vision poster." Said Candy.

"That's a bit too complicated." Said Mirajane.

Candy began to think.

"How about Green." Said Candy.

Mirajane stamped her hand.

"All right Grenda." Said Mirajane, "Where and what color?"

"My bicep in beige." Said Grenda.

"I don't think beige is a good idea." Said Mirajane.

"Yeah, you might not be able to see it." Said Marvelous.

"Oh I didn't think of that" Said Grenda, "How about pink?"

"I can do pink." Said Mirajane.

She stamped Grenda's bicep and so she and Candy officially joined Fairy Tail.

"All right! What sort of items do you want?" asked Mirajane.

"A magical laser gun" said Candy.

"I think that's do able." Sid Mirajane.

"You know I like Natsu's fighting style so something that will let me punch with fire!" said Grenda.

"Really?" asked Natsu over hearing this.

"Oh yeah!" cheered Grenda.

"All right!" cheered Natsu, "I finally have a student."

Nearby the Strongest Team saw this.

"Look like Natsu has a student." Said Erza with a smile.

Both Gray and Lucy looked a little scared.

"Seriously?" asked Erza.

"Come on… it's a little scary." Said Happy.

"Especially with Grenda." Sighed Lucy.

Mirajane, Candy, Grenda and Natsu all began to talk about what sort of items they want.

Of course Natsu agreed to charge Grenda's item would be a pair of gloves that would allow her to punch using fire.

Later that day, Dipper decided to let Ford accompany him on a solo job.

It did make sense as Mabel was helping her friends get used to the Guild.

"And the Giant Monster Jobs are out of the question." Said Dipper as he explained the jobs he normally took.

"Why?" asked Ford.

"Erza forbade him from taking those jobs." Explained Mirajane.

"Seriously?" asked Ford.

"I've seen one, I don't think I can handle it." Said Dipper.

"Nonsense…" said Ford.

But before Ford could encourage Dipper in taking the job Makarov stopped him.

"You're not a member of the guild." Pointed out Makarov shooting a glare at Ford.

Ford could tell that Makarov that Makarov was very powerful and backed down.

"I guess I could always talk to Erza about letting me help…" said Ford.

"Good luck with that." Laughed Makarov.

"Erza's pretty stubborn when it comes to these things after all." Said Mirajane.

Ford looked at Dipper who sighed knowing his mother would never agree to it.

Sometime later it was dinnertime, of course Mirajane took the orders as everyone eating there was shooting the breeze about their day.

"So then a gnome showed up..." said Elfman, "And of course it was that Jeff guy but then he yelled out "Nope not getting involved" and turned around."

This made almost everyone in the room laugh.

"So then what happened?" asked Happy.

"I managed to the monster in headlock and punch it!" said Elfman, "The thing couldn't take a real man."

Mirajane smiled at her brother's story.

That night around closing time.

"All right! Closing time!" called out Mirajane.

"One more drink!" said Cana.

"Sorry but you know the rules." Said Mirajane.

Cana sighed and finished her drink.

Mirajane shut down everything for the night and joined Lisanna and Elfman in walking home. When they got home Mirajane took a shower.

She got into her pajamas and laid down, she was about to fall asleep when everything turned black and white.

She immediately got out of bed and looked around, knowing whatever wads going on wasn't normal.

"Well, well, well Drink Tray, already suspicious of something that's going on, didn't see that one coming." Said a voice.

She turned around and saw Bill.

"I take it your Bill Cipher." Said Mirajane narrowing her eyes at him.

"Calm down Drink Tray, I've come to make a deal." Said Bill putting his hands in defense.

"Why would I do that?" asked Mirajane, "Considering that deal you made with Dipper."

"Fine I'll be honest this time around, I want to use your body." Said Bill, "I thought I should take that chance considering you are an S Class Wizard."

"There's nothing you can give me, so leave." Said Mirajane.

"That's where you're wrong Drink Tray." Said Bill.

He snapped his fingers and a tied up Lisanna and Elfman appeared.

"What happened?" asked Lisanna.

"Oh man how did I get here?" asked Elfman.

"All right you let me possess your body and nothing will happen to them." Said Bill.

"What?" asked Mirajane.

"I know your weakness Drink Tray, it's them and if something were to happen to them… anything at all…" Said Bill, "You don't want them to get hurt do you"

Mirajane glared at him.

"You're a monster." She growled out,

"Why thank you…" said Bill.

"Mira…" said Lisanna.

"Why you little…" growled Elfman struggling against his bonds.

Mirajane just looked down, then it hit her, something Bill said.

"You promise you won't hurt them at all?" asked Mirajane.

"As long as you hold up your end of the bargain." Said Bill.

"Fine, but I have some conditions." Said Mirajane.

"Fine… What are they?" asked Bill.

"First off will only do it one time and only one time." Said Mirajane.

"I guess that makes sense." Said Bill.

"And the other it must be right now." Said Mirajane.

"Seriously?" asked Bill.

"It's now or never." Said Mirajane.

"Fine, but I get your body for as long as possible." Said Bill.

"Agreed." Said Mirajane.

Bill's hand was in engulfed with blue flames and the two shook hands.

Lisanna and Elfman watched in horror as Mirajane's soul was removed from her body with Bill entering her body and then both of tem woke up in their beds.

Back in Mirajane's room. Birajane (AKA Bill in Mirajane's body) was laughing hysterically.

"This is quite the body Drink Tray." Said Mirajane looking at himself in the mirror.

He closed his eyes and opened them, they were now Mirajane's usual blue instead of the horrific golden eyes associated with Bill's possession.

"I can wait until tomorrow to get the rift." Said Birajane.

"The rift?" asked Mirajane in her soul form not too far away.

But before Bill could explain Lisanna and Elfman both ran into the room.

"Mira!" yelled Lisanna.

"Oh that's right… I really did take you two hostage so you heard everything." Said Birajane, "I can't hurt you, but thankfully your sister has a way to keep you quiet long enoguh."

He raised his hand to perform the sleep spell, however he suddenly collapsed with his eyes reverting to the golden state.

"What is wrong with this body! Why can't I control it." Said Birajane.

Birajane looked where Mirajane was floating, Lisanna and Elfman exchanged looks realizing it was similar situation as Dipper and kept quiet quickly realizing what was really going on.

"My body isn't the problem, it's yours." Said Mirajane.

"What?" asked Birajane, "I'm a being of pure energy!"

"And energy can always be drained." Said Mirajane.

"How is this even possible?" asked Birajane.

"My body is recognizing you're close enoguh to an Earthland demon." Said Mirajane.

"This shouldn't have happened…" growled Birajane.

"But you knew there are was a chance this would happen and you took a chance that it wouldn't." said Mirajane, "We both took a chance and I was the one who came out on top."

Birajane began to get woozy realizing he was near the point of no return.

"I… I… have to get… get out of this stu… stupid body…" said Birajane.

It all of Bill's remaining power to leave her body, once he was out he was sickly pale yellow and he was shaking.

However a bright flash of light right behind him. He turned around and saw something that would shake his core.

"I held up your end, now you'll hold up mine." Said Mirajane, "You're never going to be able hurt them…"

Bill paled even more as Mirajane snapped her fingers, Bill was forced out of the house thanks to a blue fire force field. He tried to get near again but the blue flames stopped him.

"Great…" sighed Bill, "I really shouldn't have taken that chance…"

Back in Mirajane's room there was a flash of light and Mirajane returned to normal.

"Mira!" cried Lisanna hugging her.

Elfman looked at her.

"I'm sorry for taking that deal." Said Mirajane.

"Are you kidding me… we figured out your plan the whole time." Said Elfman patting her on her shoulder.

"But what if it didn't work." Said Mirajane.

"But it did work…" said Lisanna.

"You're right…" said Mirajane.

Elfman wrapped the two in a hug and the three were there for a while.

The next morning, Mirajane got up and found Elfman was cooking breakfast.

"Wait… isn't today my day to make breakfast?" asked Mirajane.

"Yeah, but after what happened last night you deserve a day off." Said Elfman.

"Thanks…" said Mirajane, "Speaking of which… can you do a favor for me Lisanna."

"Of course." Said Lisanna knowing what the favor is.

Sometime later.

"Good morning!" called out Natsu and Happy.

"Good morning." Said Lisanna from the bar.

"Where's Mira?" asked Happy.

"Oh something happened last night." Said Lisanna.

"She's taking the day off to sort everything out." Said Elfman.

"What happened?" asked Natsu.

"She should be the one to tell you." Sighed Lisanna.

Happy and Natsu looked at each other, considered that something must have happened.

Not too long later at the Mystery Shack, Stan tying his tie when the doorbell rang.

"Can someone go get that!" he yelled.

No one when get it.

He went down stairs muttering thing, he opened the door and saw it was Mirajane.

"Oh Mira… what are you doing here?" asked Stan.

"I'm here to see Ford." Said Mirajane.

"Seriously?" asked Stan raising an eyebrow.

"I had a run-in with Bill last night." Said Mirajane.

"Oh…" said Stan realizing that Ford might be the one to talk about that stuff, "FORD! YOU HAVE A GUEST!"

In the basement Ford heard the yell.

He face palmed at the way Stan called him.

Of course the twins who were upstairs heard the yell too.

"Ford has a gust?" asked Dipper.

"That's weird." Said Mabel.

Both decided to go downstairs and see what wads going on.

Ford made his way to the living room and saw it was Mirajane surpassing him.

"Oh hello Mirajane." Said Ford, "Why are you here to see me."

"It's probably better if we sit down." Said Mirajane.

The two sat down at the table, unaware that the twins were listening.

"Last night, Bill appeared to me." Said Mirajane, "He wanted to make a deal."

Ford paled.

"Wait… but aren't the dorms protected from Bill." Said Ford.

"I don't live in the dorms." Said Mirajane, "I moved out not too long ago with Lisanna and Elfman. We live in a house elsewhere in the forest."

"I see…" said Ford, "You said no, right?"

Mirajane didn't answer.

"What did you agree to?" asked Ford trying not to panic.

"He took my brother and sister hostage. He wouldn't harm them if I let him possess my body." Said Mirajane.

Dipper and Mabel looked at each other then it hit them.

"Oh that is so cool!" yelled Mabel.

"Mabel keep it down!" whispered Dipper.

However Ford and Mirajane heard this and realized they were watching.

"We know you're there." Laughed Mirajane.

Both of them came out of hiding, Mabel's eyes were sprawling while Dipper looked embarrassed.

"Did you hear anything?" asked Mirajane trying not to laugh.

"We heard everything." Said Mabel.

"Did he already do it? Or has it not happened yet?" asked Dipper.

"One of my conditions was that it had to be done right away and he can only do it once." Said Mirajane.

"So wait… then that means!" said Dipper almost in awe.

"He was close enoguh." Laughed Mirajane.

"Why aren't you taking this seriously?" asked Ford, "You let Bill possess you! Bill might try it again…"

"He won't…" said Mirajane, "Because he almost died possessing me."

"What…" said Ford.

Dipper stared at Ford.

"Great Uncle Ford… have you talked to Mira about her magic yet?" asked Dipper.

"I know she knows transformation." Said Ford, "Why is there more to her magic."

The twins stared at their great uncle.

"Didn't you introduce yourself as an S-Class?" asked Dipper.

"I did." Confirmed Mirajane.

Dipper face palmed.

"Wait… isn't S-Class the strongest members of the Guild?" asked Ford.

Mirajane took out her phone just in case she had to use Satan Soul in front of Ford.

"It's true…" said Mirajane," But I'm not the strongest."

"Did you know about this?" asked Ford to Dipper.

"I grew up with stories about her." Pointed out Dipper.

Ford face palmed.

"What does this have anything to o with Bill possessing her being a good a thing?" he asked.

"Have you interviewed Lisanna and Elfman?" asked Mirajane.

"I have…" said Ford.

"So then you know about Take Over?" asked Mirajane.

"I do." Answered Ford, "You're brother can take over the power of monsters while your sister can take over the power of animals."

"I have a take over myself." Said Mirajane.

"I didn't know that." Said Ford.

"You see I took a chance that Bill was close enoguh to the Demons back in Earthland…" said Mirajane.

"What does that have to do with anything?" asked Ford.

"You see… Demons don't possess me." Said Mirajane.

That was when she was surrounded by light, Ford watched as her hair got a bit wilder, her features became sharper, her clothes turned into a very different outfit. She gained a black blouse, a yellow skirt with a brick like pattern, a bow tie, black pantyhose, yellow Mary-Janes, a yellow eye patch covered one of her eyes, a little balk top hat appeared on her head and a golden cane appeared in her hand.

"I poses the demons." Said Mirajane.

Ford was just standing there gaping.

Mirajane took the opportunity to keep her promise to Stan and take a few pictures.

"Really Mira?" asked Dipper.

"I promised someone I would." Said Mirajane.

"How… how did this happen?" asked Ford once he regained himself.

"He possessed my body and it responded by absorbing his powers and turning it into a Satan Soul." Responded Mirajane.

"Wait…" said Mabel.

"No,,, he got out in time." Said Mirajane, "I was this close to killing him too."

"Oh man…" said Dipper.

Ford honestly didn't know to react.

"How do we know that Bill isn't controlling her?" he managed to say.

All three looked at Ford, on one hand he was genuinely worried, on the other he really underestimated Mirajane.

"Does Stan still have the video from the Manotaur fight?" axed Mirajane as she returned to normal.

"I'll go get it." Said Dipper.

"What?" asked Ford.

"Oh the leader of the Manotaurs attacked a Manliness competition between Elfman and Manly Dan." Explained Mabel.

"What does that have to with Mirajane?" asked Ford.

"You'll see…" said Mirajane.

Dipper put on the video and Ford was shocked she watched the leader of the Manotaurs was beaten by Mirajane.

Mirajane just smiled as the video ended.

"I can't belie you beaten the leader of the Manotaurs." Said Ford.

"He threatened to kill Elfman." Sighed Mirajane.

"Did you also do the same thing to Freed during the Fighting Festival?" asked Dipper who then realized something, "That incident has a lot of names."

"I did." Said Mirajane.

"You defeated the leader of the Manotaurs on your own?" asked Ford again.

"It's true." Said Mirajane with a smile.

Ford sighed.

He had a run in with Leaderaur before as well… what he knew about him scared him of course.

Ford sighed.

"Do you have any idea how to use Bill's powers?" asked Ford.

"A bit…" said Mirajane, "I did make sure he can't go back on his end of the deal."

"I think it's for the best if you try to figure them out." Said Ford, "Just in case he tries something again."

"Actually it's one of the reasons why I came here to talk to you." Said Mirajane.

"I see…" said Ford.

They went outside with the twins deicing to help as well.

Mirajane once again went into Satan Soul: Cipher as she recently dubbed it.

"So you do have any ideas?" asked Mirajane.

"There's that fire!" said Mabel.

Mirajane lit her hand on fire.

She then threw the fire hitting one of the trees.

"That was easy enoguh." Said Mirajane.

"Maybe you should try to possess someone." Said Mabel.

"Seriously?" asked Dipper.

"I don't think that's a good idea." Said Mirajane.

"If you want to tap into Bill's powers, maybe it's for the best." Said Ford.

The twins both stared at Ford.

"Oh I get it…" said Mirajane, "You still don't fully trust me."

Ford didn't answer.

"It's understandable. You just found about my magic, we don't know each other that well" Said Mirajane.

Dipper looked at Mirajane.

"I volunteer." Said Dipper.

"Are you sure?" asked Mirajane, "I mean what happened last time."

"I'm sure…" said Dipper.

"All right, I'll give you a free lunch tomorrow in exchange." Said Mirajane as her caught on fire figuring that it would only work properly with a deal.

Dipper nodded.

The two shook hands, he braced himself for the worse. However he felt something warm enter his body instead of being pulled out of his body.

Dipper opened his eyes.

"Dipper?" he said, "Yes…"

That was when both of them realized something. Mirajane was in control of Dipper's body… as was Dipper.

"Whoa!" said Mabel.

"What?" both of them asked the same time.

Dipper/Mirajane turned to where Mirajane's body was, in its place was a stature.

"Okay… that's weird…" said Dipper speaking then Mirajane took over, "So this is what I look as a stature."

Ford looked at Dipper's eyes, his left was brown, but his right was blue, and it wasn't like when Bill possessed it where the eyes were demonic, there was a warmth and kindness in that blue eye.

Ford breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"It's okay." Said Mirajane speaking thorough Dipper, "By the way Dipper can I use some of your magic…"

Dipper took over, "Go ahead." He said.

Mirajane considered which spell to use, that was when she noticed something.

"Freed's been teaching you that spell?" asked Mirajane speaking through Dipper.

"Please don't tell mom he's teaching me." Said Dipper.

"Don't worry you're secret's safe with me." Said Mirajane speaking through Dipper.

That was Dipper/Mirajane used Solid Script: Butterfly. Which created the word with a butterfly like pattern.

"Seriously?" Dipper asked then Mirajane took over, "Sorry, I always wanted to try it out."

Ford cleared his throat.

"I guess I should go back, thank you so much Dipper." Said Mirajane.

Mirajane made Dipper close his eyes as she returned back to her body.

When she did she immediately went back to her human form.

"That took a lot of magic." Said Mirajane.

Ford however was staring at Mirajane, he was now 100 percent certain she was telling the truth. And because of that he felt the rift in his pocket and relied that she was the one he had to tell about the rift.

"There's something I think I should talk to Mirajane in private." Said Ford to Dipper.

Dipper quickly realized what Ford was going to do.

"Come on, I'll treat you to a shake at the Guild Hall." Said Dipper.

"All right!" said Mabel.

The two of them left Mirajane and Ford alone.

"You know it was reckless to let Bill possess your body." Said Ford.

"I couldn't take that chance… my family is really important to me." Said Mirajane, "You know… honestly with your and Stan's feud, I'm firmly on Stan's side…"

"Can't say I'm surprised." Said Ford.

"The reason is because if I knew Lisanna was in another dimension, I would have done anything to get her back." Said Mirajane, "Wait do you know the story?"

"What sorry?" asked Ford.

"Once we went on an Class S job to stop a monster that was called the Beast. Elfman used take-over to try to stop it, but it wasn't enoguh, it took over his mind and made him go on a rampage. Lisanna tried to reach him, but it didn't work. He sent her flying. The spot she landed in turned out be where an Anima was." Said Mirajane.

"Anima?" asked Ford.

"Portals to Edolas." Said Mirajane.

"Ah…" said Ford.

"She was sent to Edolas… she vanished right before my eyes… I thought she died. But she was sent to Edolas." Said Mirajane, "If I had known she was sent to Edolas I would have done everything I could have done to get her back… though in the end it would have been for nothing because she ended up being sent back to Earthland two years later…"

"It would have been for nothing." Said Ford.

"That might be, but there's something else you should know… the love we feel for each other gives us strength." Said Mirajane, "After Lisanna "died" I couldn't use Satan Soul, During the Battle of Fairy Tail when I saw Freed trying to kill Elfman… something inside me snapped and I was able to use it again. Not only that but during the Phantom War, I was in grave danger. Elfman saw me and was finally able to control his Beast Form."

"I didn't know." Said Ford.

"Well I doubt you were told everything about the Guild." Said Mirajane.

"Oh right." Said Ford.

Mirajane sighed.

"There's something else I wanted to ask you about." Said Mirajane.

"What?" asked Ford.

"When Bill took control of my body, he mentioned something called the Rift." Said Mirajane.

"He mentioned it?" asked Ford.

Mirajane nodded.

"I was planning to tell you anyway." Said Ford.

Ford took out the rift from his pocket.

"It's an Inter-dimensional Rift, it was created when Stan activated the portal." Said Ford, "Bill wants to break this so he can merge the Nightmare Realm with Earth."

"That's horrible." Said Mirajane paling.

"So far I've only told Dipper and now I'm trusting you since Bill can't control of your body." Said Ford.

"Wouldn't it be better to tell more people to protect it better?" asked Mirajane.

"No…" he said putting it away, "Just knowing about it would put anyone in danger."

"Can you show it to me again?" asked Mirajane.

"Why?" asked Ford.

"I have an idea in case you change your mind." Said Mirajane.

He took it out and held it firmly just in case it all was a trick.

But he didn't expect for her to take out her phone and take a couple pictures of it.

When she was done.

"Okay, I'm putting it in a hidden folder so that it can't be access easily." Said Mirajane.

Ford put away the rift in surprise.

"You know…" said Ford, "If Bill ever gains a physical form then the entire world will be destroyed."

"I figured…" said Mirajane.

"If that happens you're going to have to fight him." said Ford.

"It makes sense." Said Mirajane, "I will have to figure out how to use his powers more."

"Can you do that?" asked Ford.

"I just have to start taking jobs." Said Mirajane, "Using the powers to target the more dangerous monster would be better than in front of Dipper and Mabel."

"Good." Said Ford.

"Also I want you to do something too." Said Mirajane.

"What?" asked Ford.

"Learn to trust people again." Said Mirajane.

"What?" asked Ford.

"I don't know what happened 30 years ago." Said Mirajane, "But things changed since then you now have a family you can trust with this and friends too. I know your trust Dipper, but I feel you need more than him…"

"I'll think about." Responded Ford.

Mirajane sighed.

"I really hope you consider what I said..." said Mirajane, "No one should be alone… especially with this."

Ford didn't' respond.

"Any ways I'm going back to the Guild Hall." Said Mirajane, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone until you give the okay."

Ford nodded.

With that Mirajane left.

Ford gritted his teeth, he couldn't let anyone know right now… even with the Bill Shields up.

In the nightmare realm Bill was watching this.

"Great, now he's trusted her." Muttered Bill, "This could not have gone any worse…"

He then realized it could have gone worse… she could have had her pre-Lisanna "death" personality. And thought made him shudder.

He sighed.

"I still need to recover more of my powers." Said Bill, "I guess when I do I have to go with Plan B…"

And so Mirajane ended up stealing some of Bill's powers, making into a Satan Soul. However Bill was still alive and wasn't down for the count just yet.

And at least Ford trusted her with the knowledge of the Rift… but will it be enough for prevent Bill's plans? Only time will tell…

Next Time: Alec decides to visit for a couple weeks along with his new girlfriend. He claims that he wants to make it up for being a bad dad, but can the twins forgive him? Find out next time!

A/N: Yeah... Satan Soul: Cipher looks like a gothic Lolita dress, I couldn't help myself, especially with Bill's hat...
