Kanji's POV
We had made it back to the guild and introduced everyone to Wendy and Carla.
"Yo old man I need a hand." I said calling Gramps in a room upstairs.
"What could you possibly need my help with." He asked.
"I need you to help me turn this snake into a human." I said bluntly.
"…huh?"
"Cubellios is really a human that was cursed to be a snake. I promised to turn her back I just need some help to do it."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm telling you Gramps she spoke to me and asked for my help."
Gramps put his hand on the snake's head and hummed to himself.
"I see… you are right. It'll take some time but I think we can break it; I don't know if they'll be any side effects though."
"Hear that Cubellios you'll be back to normal in no time."
*Hiss*
"You head home Kanji, I should be done by the morning." Gramps said.
"Thanks a ton Grandpa. I'll see you as a human tomorrow." I waved at the two and headed out back home.
LATER
It was late and when I got home Erza was asleep on the couch.
She must have been up waiting for me.
I picked Erza up and carried her to bed. I pulled the sheets over her and went back out to the living room to turn off the light.
*Knock*
Why do people always show up at my house so late?
I opened the door and found Mira at the door.
"What's wrong Mira?"
"You forgot this at the guild." She said handing me my jacket.
"Oh thanks."
"How'd you get that?" She asked.
"It was a birthday present from Laxus." I explained hanging it near the hook by the door.
"Oh it fits you well." She said nervously.
"Mira is something wrong?"
"It's not…can I come in?"
"Uhh sure." I said stepping aside.
Mira walked over and took a seat on the couch "Where's Erza."
"Sleeping so keep it down."
"Alright, I'm actually glad she's not here. Maybe that will make this easier."
"Make what easier?" I asked.
"I need to tell Erza I can't be her Maid of Honor."
"Why not?" I said confused "Erza really wants you to I don't see why you can't be it."
"Because…I just can't."
"Mira…is this because I'm the groom?"
"What no!"
"Mira are you still in love with me?" I asked.
"I…I…I'm not sure." She mumbled.
"Aw jeez Mira. Why accept the offer if you knew this could happen?"
"Because Erza was so excited, I didn't want to let her down, and I thought I had moved on. Then the other day while you guys were gone all these feelings just came back out of nowhere. I guess a part of me must still love you."
"Mira you have to move on." I told her "There are plenty of other guys out there. I never liked you that way so please stop beating yourself up trying to find out how you feel. You know you don't feel that way about me anymore. Erza wants you to be by her side at the wedding not someone else."
"I know that's why this is so difficult. I want to be there for her but part of me doesn't want you to be together." At this point she was almost sobbing "I don't know what to do."
"Alright take a breath." I said "Mira talking to me about this will only make you more confused, talk to Erza directly."
"Okay…" Mira said standing up "I don't want to wake her just for that, it's late I should get going."
"Mira it's late why don't you just stay here, you can stay in the bed with Erza I'll sleep out here on the couch."
"No I don't want to be an inconvenience." She said waving her hands.
"It's fine Mira." I pushed her towards the bedroom "I'll see you in the morning. You can borrow my clothes if you need something to sleep in."
"No…"
I closed the door and turned off the light "Goodnight Mira."
I trudged back over to the lamp and turned out the light in the main room and pulled the blanket off the back of the couch and went to sleep.
Why does everything have to be so complicated? I need advice from the only person who can give it to me, Cana.
LATER
I was shaken awake the next morning rather violently.
"Would you care to explain why I woke up in our bed next to Mira?"
I opened my eyes and saw Erza was not I a good mood "Morning sweetie."
"Yeah morning." She said raising an eyebrow "Now care to explain why when I stirred awake and went to reach for you, I got a handful of Mira's boobs?"
"She came by last night because I forgot my coat at the guild. It was dark so I told her to stay here last night. I said she could share the bed with you and I'd take the couch."
"It's fine but why not just wake me up and tell me so I don't embarrass myself. I almost kissed her good morning without opening my eyes" She pouted.
I would pay to see that.
I shrugged "I thought you wanted your beauty sleep."
"You're too good to me." She said leaning in and giving me a kiss.
The door to the bedroom creaked open and Mira came into the room.
"Good morning."
I guess Mira had taken my suggestion from the night before and just used one of my shirts as her pajamas. All she had on was an oversized tee shirt. It fit her body really well it accentuated her feminine qualities. She had her hair down in her eyes, a rare occurrence for her. She looked…pretty.
Whoa! No thinking like that when you're fiancée is in the room.
Mira stretched out and the shirt rode up on her body briefly flashing her panties.
ERZA IS GONNA KILL ME!
"Good morning Mira."
Mira took her dress and went right to the bathroom to shower and change. She didn't take long before she was back out in the living room with Erza and me.
"Thank you for letting me stay." She said.
"Any time Mira." Erza told her "We'll see you at the guild soon."
Mira headed out the door but she never said anything to Erza.
You'll have to face her eventually.
LATER
When I got to the guild I went straight up stairs to see how Gramps had made out overnight. I knocked on the door and he told me to come in. The only other people in there were Mira, Wakaba, and Macao.
"We having a party?" I joked "Did you get it done?"
"Yes she back to normal but…"
"But what?" I asked.
"She has almost no memories." Macao said "She knows he name and that she was cursed but that's about it."
I went deeper into the room and found a girl sitting on the bed where I had left the snake.
"Hello." She said.
"Hi, do you know my name?" I asked.
"No…I'm sorry am I supposed to?"
Well that sucks.
"No it's fine. I'm Kanji, what's your name?"
"I'm Kinana." She introduced herself.
"Tell me about yourself." I said.
"Well I don't remember much." She said "I know my name and that I'm twenty years old."
"Twenty? Are you sure." Mira asked "You look like your thirteen."
"Maybe it's a side effect of the curse?" she said.
"I guess so. You're legally twenty but your body doesn't look like it has reached puberty yet. Do you remember anything else form when you were a snake?" I asked.
"Just the voice of a friend." She said "He's a prince who said that if we ever got separated, he'd ride a shooting star to come see me."
That prince is most likely Cobra…Shit.
"I think it's best if we keep her true identity between the people in this room" Gramps said "Kinana can stay here as a member of Fairy Tail while she waits for her memories to return."
We all agreed to keep this a secret and Mira said she'd take the girl and train her to work the bar with her. I headed back out to the guild and took a seat at the bar near Cana.
"You and I need to talk." I told her.
"What about."
"I just need advice" I said.
"You want my advice." She whispered "You should have sex with both of them."
"Not an option!" I yelled "And how'd you know what I was gonna ask."
"I know everything." She joked "In all seriousness let the two of them talk it out. Sit them down and make them do it if you have to."
Some guy burst into the guild and said that something big was going to happen. The church bells started to ring.
"Gildarts is back!"
That old fart finally returned.
Everyone was pretty excited for the return of the strongest wizard in the guild. The city shifted itself to make room for the man to safely walk through town. The man slowly walked into the guild.
He walked in and sighed "Excuse me miss, I'm looking for the Fairy Tail guild."
"You're in it." Mira told him "It's me Mirajane."
"Mira? Oh wow!" he yelled "the guild got remodeled, and you're…different."
"Gildarts!"
"Oh Natsu."
"Fight me!" the pink haired boy yelled.
"Maybe later." He said throwing Natsu into a wall "This place sure has changed a lot; I don't recognize some of these faces."
"Gildarts." Gramps called "how was the mission?"
Gildarts just laughed "Nope. I couldn't get it done."
"Even he couldn't do it." I mumbled.
"Sorry I brought a stain on our name." Gildarts said apologizing.
"It's fine." Gramps told him "you made it back safely that's all that matters."
Gildarts told Natsu to stop by his house later, blew open a wall and left.
"Don't even think about it." Erza told Lucy "You're a hundred years too early to try a hundred-year quest."
"I wasn't excited I was terrified!" Lucy yelled.
"If even Gildarts couldn't get it done just what was that quest?" I wondered.
