"I don't see why not, right girls?" said Ersa. They nodded in agreement and we turned to the door. We never did get that far; I tripped. As I went down I felt a scorching heat fly over my head.

"Natsu!" I think it was Lucy who yelled from behind me, "What do you think you're doing! You can't just randomly attack people."

"Naw Luce, I challenged her to fight me. She can't say no," Natsu said as I got up. "Hey how old are you anyway? Aren't you a little young to be cross-dressing?" I could not believe my ears. This boy who barely looked 18 was calling me young! Even with any lost time he might have had if he had been on Tonurae; he had no right to call me anything. Without a word I walked past him and toward the door. "Hey!" he called out after me, "Where are you going cross-dresser?"

Calling over my shoulder I said, "I won't be held responsible for any damages to the Guild, if we fight we take it outside." He followed me with a "Whoop!"

I was surprised by all the people that followed us outside. I think I even saw Laxus at the back. We were completely surrounded by guild members when Eras said, "Alright I will be referring this match. No fatal blows and try to keep the damage to a minimum, right Natsu?" He gulped and said, "Aye sir" With a nod Ersa continued, "Alright, fight!"

Natsu made the first move; a flaming fist was aimed at my head. I ducked down and shoved my shoulder into his stomach. I was rusty after my time in the void so I ended up clumsily tossing him over my shoulder. He was quick to retaliate, though; it just wasn't a physical attack. He stood up and said, "Is that the best you got, cross-dresser?" I scowled at him and said, "Why should that be insulting? I have this feeling you wouldn't recognize a woman if she came up to you and declared that she wanted to bare your children." That drew some laughs from the crowd. I huffed under my breath as he growled at me and charged. I ducked as he threw another punch. I stepped down on his foot and swung my elbow up smacking his nose. He staggered back a few paces. I glanced at the sky and saw the telltale signs of dusk. I really had to wrap this up.

I gasped in surprise as my back hit the ground. I looked up and blushed; Natsu was straddling my hips and pinning my hands above my head. "Give in yet cross-dresser?" he panted out. I didn't answer I just jabbed my knee up into his groin. His face paled as he slid off me.

I stood over him and spat out, "I believe I win this one, boy." I turned to the girls, "Ready to go?" They all looked at me jaws dropped. "Well? What did you expect? I am very much a woman; some clothing is just more concealing than others."

"That was a cheap shot!" someone from the crowd called out. I sighed, "Yes it was, but in a real fight that could mean life or death," turning to Natsu, who had managed to get off the ground, I said, "Best two out of three?"

"Aw yah now I'm all fired up!" he yelled. Before he could attack I said, "But another time, it's almost dark. And I still need to find a place to stay."

"Don't worry Aiya-chan you can stay with me until you find your own place. So you can take all the time you want," Levy said. I sighed and let my shoulders slump; I was tired and just wanted to sleep. "Must I?" I whined.

"I bet you can't beat him, Tiny Tits," Laxus called from his spot in the crowd. "What was that Guild Boy?" I growled. "You heard me, Tiny Tits," he said. I narrowed my eyes and stood to my full five feet, "How much you wanna bet?" He smirked, "All the earnings from my next mission." I nodded slowly before saying, "And if I lose? And really money isn't much of an incentive to me," Lucy gasped and Cana choked a little on her current alcoholic beverage.
