Just throwing this out there, if someone would like to do a BleachXFairytail RP with me, let me know and I'll send you the invite code. RPs actually do help me come up with ideas for my stories and keep in a creative mode, although I don't take actual scenes from the RP. Yes I know this chapter is outrageously short—but the next one will be better.

The two dragon slayers sipped on their cups of tea while waiting for the white haired young woman to finish her sixth bowl of tamagodon in the Sabretooth mess hall. 'She really was hungry,' Rogue thought to himself as he finished his beverage, setting the cup down. Frosch blinked while Lector's eye twitched a little before he blurted out, "where are you putting it all?"

Rin stopped momentarily to glare at the red exceed. Sting just chuckled as he regarded Lector and answered, "she used up quite a bit of her power, I'd guess. You know how we get when we use up our magic energy-give me food and I don't care what. I just want to eat!"

Rin finished the sixth bowl, setting it down and drank down a bit of water before answering, "that's almost true. I don't eat red meats. I'll eat anything except that. No point anyways, it'll come right back up."

'That's good to know,' the shadow dragon slayer thought to himself. Sting nodded in acknowledgement as he added, "Alright… and I guess you also eat ice as well?"

Rin raised an eyebrow at the question, "I'm sure you eat anything white."

She glanced at Rogue, "and shadows?"

A small smile tugged at the corners of Rogue's mouth.

'So strange, in some ways he reminds me—' she stopped her thought process and forced a smile to her face before asking, "so what is there to do around here?"

"I'm thinking aside from the food situation there's something else we need to address before we do anything else," Sting stated in response.

Rogue seemingly knew exactly what the guild master was thinking and nodded in agreement. At this Rin gave a small giggle and asked, "are the two of you telepathic or something?"

"When you've been friends as long as we have, you don't always need words," Sting confirmed.

"Hmm," Rin answered. 'I miss having that bond with someone,' she admitted to herself.

"You got any friends like that back home?"

Sting's question was barely heard by the young woman who found herself lost in thought, she gained a saddened expression as she truthfully answered, "I had someone like that- they passed away."

"Huh? You mean that—" Rogue couldn't figure out how to word his question without drawing attention to her secret in the guild hall.

"Yes. Like everyone else, if we're ill enough, old enough, or injured badly enough we can still die," Rin confirmed in a hushed voice so only those at the table would hear.

Rogue blinked a little before standing up and gesturing for the others to follow him. Rin looked to Sting with raised eyebrows before standing up and following the shadow dragon slayer, Sting, Frosch and Lector following behind her.

Rogue lead them down a hallway, and then ducked into one room, the others followed him in and Rogue closed the door, locking it before inquiring to Rin, "Does that mean that Death Gods are also born?"

Rin nearly laughed but nodded in agreement, "yes, some are. Some are former humans who passed away in a living world. If I had to guess I'd say there's more Death Gods that come from Earthland than anywhere else—primarily because of the amount of mages here."

Sting smirked and chuckled which caused the female to cast her gaze in his direction. The White dragon slayer shrugged his shoulders a little as he answered her silent question with, "I just think it's funny that one day we could be just like you."

A sly smirk tugged at the corner of Rin's lips, "I very much doubt you could be just like me, Sting Eucliffe."

A much simpler question was asked by a sweet gentle voice, "Fro doesn't understand, how come Rogue and Sting used to call you Lexi?"

Rin cleared her throat and gave a slightly awkward cough a pink huge tinted her cheeks as she responded, "well—you see my name is rather extravagant. Lexi is one of the many nicknames I prefer, back home it's easier for people to call me 'Rin', as that is a Japanese name. My full name is Alexandrina Hisana Yachiru Wantanbe. So evidently back home I just have people call me Rin… here, call me Rin, call me Lexi, call me Alex- I don't care- although do not call me Alexandrina or you'll loathe ever finding out that little gem about me."

Rogue gave a small chuckle of amusement, "I suppose in a way, similar to how I used to go by Ryos."

"Yes, although I always knew that your name was 'Rogue'," Rin confirmed.

"Well anyways, let's go shopping," Sting announced.

Rin froze while her eyes widened in horror and inwardly panicked, 'shopping? With what?! I don't have any money in this world!'

"Yeah, great idea! I wanna look for a new vest," Lector exclaimed excitedly.

"Fro wants to shop too," Frosch added.

Rogue noticed Rin's disquieted expression and gently placed a hand on her shoulder as he assured her, "don't worry. You saved us years ago. The least we can do in return is buy you a few things."

"You've already done a lot for me. More than I'm used to," Rin whispered in embarrassment before quickly stating, "I'll find a way to pay you back."

"Don't be silly! It's our treat," Sting dismissed the offer, agreeing with Rogue.

"What if your girlfriend gets jealous?"

"Yukino isn't the kind to get jealous," Sting answered.

'I've heard that one before,' Rin thought to herself.
