Hey everyone, I'm back once again with another chapter of Demon Fairy. I really like writing this story since Blue Exorcist and Fairy Tail. I'm glad that a lot of people seem to like this story since I adopted the idea from someone else. I hope to keep updating this story for you guys, what with school and work, but I still plan on continuing this story. So last time Rin met Erza and she recruited Natsu and Gray to go and track down the Lullaby flute. Will Rin be able to help them Exercise the demon flute or will he fall flat (Music Pun)? Find out right now on Demon Fairy!
The next day
{Earthland – Kingdom of Fiore, City of Magnolia – Fairy Tail Guild Hall}
It was just the crack of dawn, the sun had barely made it over the horizon and the guild hall was in a rare state of calm. Only two people were currently in the building right now. Mirajane, a member of Fairy Tail and barmaid, and Rin, The guild's mysterious guest. Mira was currently pacing around the guild hall wondering what to do about the request Erza had made yesterday. She had a feeling that whatever Erza needed both Natsu and Gray for couldn't be just some simple job. Whatever was going on must have been serious. She had asked Lucy to help keep an eye on Natsu and Gray, but she didn't know if that would be enough.
Mira didn't have anything against the celestial mage, but she didn't want her to deal with them alone. She wanted to ask Elfman but he left for a job last night, Cana wasn't a good choice either since she would most likely be too drunk to help. Team Shadow Gear was currently taking a deciphering job so they would be busy for the next few days, and Macao and Wakaba were still taking a break after the former came back from Mt. Hakobe. That just left Rin, who was currently sleeping in one of the back rooms. Mira didn't have any choice left as she walked to the back hoping that Rin would be able to help.
As she walked to the back room the she-demon could clearly see that Rin was still fast asleep. He kept muttering something about Sukiyaki, but that was all Mira could understand. She then went to shake him awake hoping that he wouldn't be too late to catch Erza at the train station.
"Rin, wake up." Mira said softly as she shook Rin gently "Please wake up, I need your help."
*You won't be able to wake him up like that* a voice said out of nowhere.
Mira's eyes just widened a bit as she looked around to see who was just talking.
*You have to wake him up like THIS!* the voice said again as a small black cat with two tails suddenly appeared from under the bed and grew to the size of a mountain lion and jumped on top of Rin.
"ARGRH! Kuro! Why did you do that?!" The son of Satan asked as he clutched his stomach after Kuro's 'Wake Up Call'.
*The white haired lady wanted to ask you something* Kuro said as he shrunk and jumped on Rin's lap
Mira could have sworn she had just heard the same voice from before, but this time it was almost as if it were coming from Kuro. She was about to say something about it when she remembered why she came in here in the first place.
"Rin, I need you to do me a huge favor." Mira said as she grabbed Rin by the shoulders.
"Uh, s-sure. What is it?" Rin asked trying to keep eye contact with her
"I need you to go to the train station and follow Erza on her mission." Mira said completely serious
"Wait, isn't she that red-haired chick who came in with that giant demon's horn yesterday?" Rin asked as Mira nodded her head. "I figured, but why do you want me to go with her? She already has back up doesn't she?"
"Normally I wouldn't worry about Erza since she can take care of herself, and Natsu and Gray can hold their own as well" Mira said as she shook Rin for emphasis, which made even harder for him to maintain eye contact "But those two always end up arguing and Erza always has to make them stop. I asked Lucy to tag along to keep an eye on Natsu, but I couldn't find anyone to make sure Gray doesn't cause any trouble as well."
"Is it because he always takes off his clothes?" Rin asked remembering his first encounter with the ice-make mage.
"That's part of it yes." Mira said
"So, when do you want me to leave?" Rin asked putting his uniform jacket on
"The next train heading towards Onibas leaves in about 45 minutes, you'll need to hurry if you want to catch them." Mira said as Rin slung his red sleeve, holding Kurikara, over his shoulder
"Okay, so which way is the train station?" Rin asked as he and Mira made their way towards the front door
"It's in the southern part of town." Mira said, "But how do you plan on getting there on time?"
"Don't worry, I've got that covered." Rin said grinning "Hey Kuro! I need your help." Rin said as the Cat Sídhe grew once again. The Exwire then climbed onto his familiar's back.
"Be safe Rin, you're still our guest so I would feel terrible if you somehow got injured because I asked you to do this." Mira said as she looked up at Rin on Kuro's back
"It's cool, how bad can this possibly get anyways?" Rin said as he and Kuro rushed towards the train station.
{Earthland – Kingdom of Fiore, City of Magnolia – Train Station}
Rin and Kuro made it to the train station, but they still had to find the strongest team. It would have taken them a long time if they didn't hear Natsu shouting so much. Rin just followed the screams until he found Natsu and Gray arguing while Lucy and Happy just watched everything unfold.
"Uh, shouldn't we stop them?" Rin asked as he walked up to Lucy and Happy
"Rin? What are you doing here?" Lucy asked slightly shocked to see the visitor from another world show up out the blue (no pun intended).
"Well, Mirajane asked me to help you look after this two since apparently they can be a handful" Rin said scratching his head
"Very well, I could use more help on this mission." A voice said as Rin turned around to see Erza show up….with a mountain of luggage
"Why do you have so many bags?!" Rin and Lucy practically shouted at the same time
"I don't believe that we've been properly introduced" Erza said shrugging of their question "I am Erza Scarlet, and who might you two be?" she asked
"I-I'm Lucy, I just joined the guild not too long ago" Lucy said bowing a little bit
"Oh, I've heard about you. You single handedly defeated a whole tribe of mercenary gorillas, you seem promising." Erza said smiling a bit
"That was Natsu, and those fact seem to have gotten twisted" Lucy said sweat dropping.
"And I'm Rin Okumura, I sort of…fell into town." Rin said not knowing how to explain his situation.
Erza just raised an eyebrow at Rin's comment, but decided to save it for later.
"I must warn you both, this job is very dangerous." Erza said with a straight face "Can you handle that?"
Before Lucy could answer Rin just said, "I can handle anything you throw at me" with a confident smirk
Meanwhile Natsu just stood still starring at Erza for a bit before speaking up
"Look Erza, I don't know why you asked us to come along with you, but I'm not complaining. However, I have one condition for helping you out." Natsu said looking dead straight at Erza. "When we get back to Fairy Tail I want a rematch."
Hearing this both Lucy and Gray became utterly shocked by what Natsu had to say, but Rin could see the fire in his eyes. It was almost the same as when he declared that he would beat up his old man someday, a promise that he planned on keeping.
"Very well, I accept" Erza said amused
"ALRIGHT! I'M GETTING FIRED UP!" Natsu yelled as he pumped both of his fists in the air
5 minutes later, on the train to Onibas
Almost as soon as the train took off Natsu began to look like he was about to die any moment. This seemed almost normal to the other Fairy Tail mages, but Rin was just confused. The guy seemed super pumped up a few minutes ago, what the hell happened?
"Hey, does anyone know why Natsu just collapsed all of a sudden?" Rin asked trying to figure out why the dragonslayer seemed completely drained.
"Natsu has a terrible case of motion sickness, just thinking about a moving vehicle is enough to make him want to puke." Happy said as he munched on a fish he got from his bag.
"Don't worry Rin, I know how to make Natsu feel better." Erza said as she motioned for Natsu to sit next to her. Rin just looked at the two thinking that Erza knew some sort of magic to deal with motion sickness….until she just sucker punched Natsu in the gut knocking him out cold.
"Well, that's one way to cure motion sickness." Rin said as he looked on in pity 'Poor guy' Rin thought.
"So Rin, tell me, what brought you to Fairy Tail?" Erza asked as she looked at the half demon expecting an answer.
"Well you see…" Rin then went on to explain how he ended up in Earthland, but to do so he had to explain almost everything leading up to that point including finding out that he was Satan's son, going to True Cross Academy, meeting the other Exwires, Fighting the Impure King and most recently saving Izumo from the Illuminati. At the end of his story he noticed that both Lucy and Erza were in tears while Gray just put his hand on Rin's shoulder.
"Wow, that sounds rough buddy." Gray said as he took off his coat.
"Yeah, it was a lot to take in at first, but I'm getting used to it" Rin said leaning back in his seat. "My friends were really cool about it, although I had to prove that I could still control my flames"
"Well at least you have more control than a certain flame brain that I know." Gray said nodding towards Natsu.
"What's your deal with him anyways?" Rin asked trying to understand why the two mages fought so often.
"I don't know, I guess he just rubs me the wrong way." Gray said looking out the window
"Oh, by the way what kind of magic can you use Erza, I've only seen Natsu use his magic in the guild hall." Lucy asked wondering what kind of magic the guild's strongest female mage could use
"Erza's magic is really pretty." Happy said looking up at Lucy "It makes her opponents bleed!" Happy said smiling while holding up his arms.
"That doesn't sound too pretty." Lucy said with a mildly disturbed look on her face
"I don't think it's that special, personally I think that Gray's magic more beautiful than mine." Erza said.
In response Gray extended his left arm and held out his palm while making a fist with his right hand and smacked it down on his left. Soon after a chill breeze flowed around him until a small ice crystal in the shape of the Fairy Tail logo formed in his hands.
"Woah, that kinda cool." Rin said looking at the ice crystal
"Wait a minute." Lucy said thinking out loud "Ice! Flames!" she exclaimed
"No wonder you two don't get along, that's hilarious" Lucy said chuckling a bit
"Is that really why you two fight?" Erza asked looking towards Gray
"Hell, if I know" Gray said looking out the window
"If that's how it is then I can't see you and Rin getting along." Happy said
"Why's that?" Gray asked
"Because he's a fire user" Happy answered
"I don't think that's how it works." Rin said sweat dropping
"So, what did you need help with Erza? You normally take care of any jobs you get all on your own." Gray said crossing his arms.
"Well, I was on my way back from my previous job when I stopped in a bar to rest for bit." Erza explained "While I was there a group of what I can assume were mages from a guild were discussing something called "Lullaby" and breaking its seal"
"Lullaby?" Gray said wondering what could be so special about it
"Is it a sort of magic that allows you to put people to sleep?" Lucy asked
"Wait a minute." Gray stated, "If they're trying to unseal it then wouldn't that mean they were being paid to do so?" He asked
Erza nodded, "That's what I thought at first, but then they mentioned the name Erigor." She said calmly
"He's the best mage with the Eisenwald guild, they call him the grim reaper, mostly because he takes only assassination requests." Erza said explaining who they were dealing with.
"Wait so he takes money just to kill people?" Rin asked, "Shouldn't someone do something about that?"
"Well, assassination requests were banned by the magic council and when Eisenwald refused to stop accepting them they were outed from the Mage Guild League."
As they were talking the train came to a stop in Onibus station. Rin, Gray, Erza, Lucy and Happy all grabbed their belongings and stepped off the train before it took off again. They continued their conversation while heading outside of the station.
"As a result, Eisenwald became a dark guild" Erza said as she pulled her cart behind her
"A dark guild?!" Lucy exclaimed with a look of pure terror "But if they were outed from the League wouldn't that mean they were punished?"
"The guild master was arrested, and the members were told to disband. However, in cases like these dark guilds tend to go against the orders they were given."
"I should have stayed home" Lucy thought
"I made the mistake of not taking action when I first encountered them. If I knew what they had I would've made sure they couldn't get away" Erza said in a scary tone
"But that would have only dealt with just those guys and not the entire guild, right?" Gray asked
"Exactly, they're planning something with Lullaby and I can't just ignore it." Erza said "That's why we're marching straight towards Eisenwald"
As she said this Gray couldn't help but to smirk while Lucy was sweating profusely
Meanwhile Rin was looking around where they were standing, so much so that he almost caused a scene.
"Did you lose something Rin?" Lucy asked making sure he didn't leave anything on the train
"Uh guys, I can't find Natsu or Kuro anywhere." Rin said looking around
This caused Erza and Gray to tense up a bit since they hadn't noticed their friend's presence.
"Don't tell me we left them on the train." Erza said looking back at the station hearing the train's horn blowing in the distance
"God damn it." Rin said as the train moved farther away
Back on the train
Natsu was barely regaining consciousness while Kuro slept on his lap. While he was waking up a young man wearing a white jacket and pants sat down across from him. Said man also had short dark black hair that was pulled back into a pony tail.
"Wow, you look like you might hurl at any minute" The man said. He then glanced over at Natsu's right shoulder to see his guild mark
"Fairy Tail huh, must be nice being a part of an official guild, I sort of envy you" The man said.
So I know what it took a long time for me to update and I'm sorry about that, but I wanted this chapter to be good. Next chapter we'll get tot see Rin actually fight along side the strongest team since the action picks up from here. I would also like to take this time to say thank you so much for all of the positive support that I've been getting from all of you. It really warms my heart to see people actually like something I write instead of claiming that I'm full of crap. Thanks for reading and please review on what I did good, and what I can do better. This is DragolianX signing off.
