Chapter 7! Review!

I don't own Fairy Tail!

It was the next morning after the Magic Council took Jellal. Kiryu and the others were getting ready to leave Caitshelter. Kiryu wore his leather jacket while the other wore clothing from the secluded guild. The coalition and the members of Caitshelter had gathered outside.

"Fairy Tail, Kiryu, Lamia Scale, and Blue Pegasus, and Wendy and Carla, I thank you for your hard work to protect our guild." Thanks Roubaul.

"Sweet! Now, we should celebrate!" Shouts Natsu.

"Aye sir!" Happy agrees.

Ichiya and the members of Blue Pegasus began dancing, followed by the Fairy Tail wizards, except for Kiryu, who stood in the far back of the coalition.

"Oh yeah!" Wendy says.

They continued to do that until they notice the looks on the Caitshelter wizards faces. Kiryu looks in concern.

They aren't telling us something.

He walks to the front of the group.

"You guys aren't telling us something."

Everyone looks at him surprised.

Roubaul nods.

"I'm sorry. I should probably tell you all."

He tells them on how they are an ancient tribe that built Nirvana 400 years ago to end a war that backfired, and that all the members were illusions created to keep Wendy company when Jellal brought her there, and that Roubaul has been dead for years.

Soon, one-by-one they started to disappear.

"No! Why are my friends leaving!?" Wendy cried.

"Do not worry Wendy." Roubaul points at the coalition. "You already have real friends, friends that care about you."

And soon, he disappeared.

Wendy got on her knees, and wept.

Erza got down and put a hand on her shoulder.

"I know how it feels, to lose someone you love, but your friends will help you with that burden."

Wendy turns her head to her, tears pouring down her cheeks.

"Come with us. To Fairy Tail."

After Wendy calmed down, everyone got ready to leave. First Lamia Scale, then Blue Pegasus.

"Come on Kiryu! You're holding up everybody!" Shouts Gray.

Kiryu had gotten his stuff together.

"Alright. Sorry about taking too long." Kiryu says.

"A minute later, you would have taken longer than Lucy does to get ready!" Happy jokes.

"What did you say cat?" Lucy says with an angry look.

"Nothing."

Erza smiles at the sight of her friends in good spirits. "Well, let's get going."

The seven of them turn to go. They get to the path that leads to Magnolia, when they are stopped.

"Bark!"

They turn to see the white wolf that Kiryu saved. Everyone backs up with fear.

"It's okay guys." Kiryu says as he approaches the wolf and kneels.

"Hey buddy, you want to come with us?"

"Bark!"

He scratches the back of the wolf's ear. Erza recompses herself.

"Are you sure? Wolfs are known to be violent."

Kiryu stands back up and turns to her.

"As long as I'm around, he should be good. Trust me."

"Well if he's going to go with us he needs a name." Says Lucy.

Kiryu looks at the wolf, sitting at his feet.

"I don't know about you, but I think his name should be Volk. In my travels, I heard that it means wolf."

"Sounds great to me!" Says Natsu with a huge smile.

"Not to me!"

Everyone looks to see Happy hiding behind Natsus' leg.

"Dogs and cats don't mix! He might try to eat me!"

Volk walks over to Happy, pretty much giving the blue cat a heart attack. Volk sniffs him, then walks away. Happy falls backwards, turning pale. After a few laughs, the group of now eight continued their journey back to Magnolia.

The next day.

The group was about an hour away from town. While everyone walked down the path, Wendy collapsed. Everyone looked shocked.

"Wendy!" Shouts Lucy.

"Are you okay?" Says Erza.

Wendy looked up at them.

"Sorry guys. I'm just tired." She says with a slight smile.

As the others sit her up Kiryu calls over Volk, who was walking behind the group. He went over to Wendy and grew about the size of a horse (like when Kiryu found him fighting the other wolves.). The other girls put Wendy onto Volk.

"Thanks guys." She says as she pets Volk.

They continue on until Kiryu hears a voice.

Over here.

He looks over into the woods. The voice kept repeating itself.

"Is something wrong?" Asks Erza.

Kiryu looks at her.

"Stay here." Kiryu walks through the trees about twenty feet, looks around and sees a small water puddle. He looks into it.

"Hello again Kiryu."

Much to Kiryus' surprise, it was Dragunov, his red eye piercing his soul.

"What do you want?" Demands Kiryu.

"Nothing much. Just to tell you that this doesn't change anything."

"What?"

"Just because you helped the mutt and the girl doesn't change the fact that you're a murderer."

Kiryu grits his teeth.

"That has nothing to do with it."

Dragunov laughs.

"Heh, are you sure? Even though you blame yourself for what happened, you know it was me."

"But that still doesn't erase the blood on my hands."

"Is something wrong?"

Kiryu turns to see Lucy standing behind him a few feet.

Did she hear it all?

He stands up and turns to face her.

"Nothing."

He looks back at the puddle.

It's nothing.

They join back with the others and Kiryu goes several yards away from the group. Erza sees this and decides to join him.

"Was it Him?" She asks.

Kiryu simply looks at the ground, afraid that she wouldn't believe him.

"If there is something wrong, you can talk to me about him."

He simply nods.

At the back of the group, Wendy talks to Lucy.

"What's wrong with Kiryu?" Wendy asks quietly to where no one else could hear.

Lucy shakes her head. "No I don't. I feel like something has bothered him since he returned to Fairy Tail."

She tells Wendy about how he left the guild for two years due to something happening, and how he returned to have most of the guild hate his guts. Hearing this reminded her of the conversation she had with him when she was in Magnolia.

"I hope there's a way for us to help." Wendy says with a frown.

An hour passed and they finally returned to the guildhall. Wendy was introduced, Juvia cried waterfalls when she saw Gray, Gajeel got mad cause the rest of the dragon slayers had pets, and all the other shenanigans that Fairy Tail were up to. Kiryu sat at a table feeding Volk when Makarov called him to another room. Kiryu walked in, in the room were Mirajane, Elfman, and Master Makarov.

"You wished to see me Gramps?"

"Ah yes Kiryu. I know you're tired from your job, but something important has come to my attention." Makarov says with a stern look.

"Sorry." Says Mira. "It was meant for me, but I might need your help."

"So what do you need us to do, Master?" Asks Elfman.

Makarov looks at the three young wizards.

"Recently, a large number of children have gone missing from all over Fiore, a large percentage of them from Oak town. I want you to figure out who's behind this, and report back. I don't want any fighting. Understood?"

"Understood." The three of them say.

The three of them, including Volk, say their goodbyes. They pay a wagon driver to head to Oak town. On the trip, Elfman remained silent due to him not liking Kiryu, Volk laid down near Mira, while Mira and Kiryu talked.

"Kiryu, why don't you get motion sickness like Natsu and the others?" Mira asks.

"Well….. while I was training, I would go out to a lake on a wooden raft, and had to go from one end to the other. I did that about twice a week."

Mira looked at him surprised. "Wow, I knew you were determined when it came to training, but I didnt know you would go that far for motion sickness."

Kiryu chuckled.

"Yeah, well it wasn't easy I can tell you that."

As the ride went on, they continued to converse, as Elfman said nothing, keeping his silence. They were almost to Oak town when the carriage stopped suddenly. Elfman pokes his head out of the opening.

"Hey is something wrong?" He asks.

The four of them got out and looked down the road. A little girl, about eight, wearing tattered clothes and had shackles with a broken chain around her legs and wrists.

"Oh no, are you okay?" Mira says as three of them rush to help her. The moment the girl saw them, she fell to the ground and curled up into a ball.

"Hey kid, what's wrong?" Asks Elfman.

The girl screams and kicks at him, as if she was an animal caught in a trap. Mira sees this and wraps her arms around the girl.

"It's okay It's okay. No one is going to hurt you. Shhhhhhhh. It's alright." She whispers in the girls' ear.

After a moment, the girl calms down, and passes out.

"We need to get her to a doctor." Kiryu says calmly.

Kiryu picks up and carries her, and Mira, Elfman, and Volk head to a doctor, not knowing of what will happen next.

All done. I think I might have rushed things, but at the same time think that this is good. Review!
