Chapter 5
"That should do it," Lucy said finishing a bed for Kaida and Lenia lay on it. "It's not too comfortable but I guess this would do," she said and Lucy growled at her.
"You're not living in a five-star hotel, missy!" She snapped before Lenia stood up with a distant expression on her face. "Hey, Lucy. Thank you for letting us stay here for the time being" Lenia said and Lucy smiled.
"It's fine. You can stay as long as you like besides I think Kaida needs someone to take care of her with you." Lucy said and Lenia looked at her with surprise before tearing up. "Look what you did. You made me tear up. Stupid, Blondie" Lenia said and Lucy giggled.
"We better go see what they're doing back at the Guild. I wouldn't be shocked if she is dragged into a fight," Lucy said and Lenia smirked. "She's not as gentle as she looks, Blondie. If she's angered the guild would be gone in an instant," she said and Lucy paled.
"That sounds scary," she said and they walked towards the guild. There was a comfortable silence surrounding them until Lucy broke it, "So I hear there's something between her and Natsu" she said and Lenia almost fell over.
"Wha-What do you mean?!" She asked and Lucy winked. "Kaida has a crush on him," she whispered in Lenia's ear before Lenia burst out laughing.
I don't know if I should find this funny of vulgar! She thought and wiped away the tears. "Kaida doesn't have a crush on him, dumb blonde," she said and Lucy growled at her.
"Watch it cat! I know where you sleep!" She snapped before raising an eyebrow.
"What do you mean that she-""Exactly what I said. She doesn't feel that way for him. She's just shy around people, especially nice ones." Lenia said and Lucy tapped her finger on her face.
"That's why she's always so flustered around the others," Lucy thought aloud and Lenia nodded.
At the guild...
"Whoa! So you're also a Dragon Slayer. Now we have four Dragon slayers!" Wakaba exclaimed and Kaida looked at them confused. Everyone was surrounding the girl as she sat at a table. "Four?" She asked and Macao nodded.
"Gajeel too." He said pointing at a dark-haired man that was munching on a few metal scrapes. The Iron Dragon Slayer? I never expected to see him. If I heard correctly, he was also part of a Dark Guild once but then came to Fairy Tail...
"Are you the same element as flame-brain?" Gray asked and tick marks appeared on Natsu's head. "You want to fight, ice-boy?!" He snapped and their heads clashed.
"Bring it on, candle head," he taunted and Kaida sweat dropped. "Are they always like this?" She asked as they continued to bicker with each other.
"Don't mind them. It's just normal for them to be at it" Mirajane said serving Kaida a cold drink and Lisanna gave her a warm smile. Kaida smiled back at the two sisters. "Thank you" she said and wanted to take a sip but stopped as soon as Gray stripped.
She turned deep crimson as they fought it out and couldn't utter a word. "Knock it off you two!" Erza yelled and hit them both to the opposite wall. "And put on some clothes, Gray!" Erza snapped and Juvia ran towards Gray.
"Gray-sama! Are you alright?" She asked but he only twitched. "She did it like a Man!" Elfman shouted before some of the other men guild members tackled him.
Kaida sweat dropped, "They sure are lively," she said and Wendy took a seat in front of her. "What awful behavior for a new guest" Carla said and Wendy smiled at Kaida.
"Don't worry, you get use to it after a while though I still don't like it when they go all out" Wendy said and Kaida laughed lightly. "Hey, girl" a gruff voice said from behind and the two girls looked bat at Gajeel who had his arms crossed over his body.
"Gajeel-san?" Wendy asked but he paid her no mind. "What type of Dragon Slayer are you?" He asked and Kaida felt a sudden nervous feeling swell inside her.
"I'm an Earth Dragon Slayer," she said and he raised an eyebrow. "I've never heard of such a Dragon Slayer before" he said and Kaida had to resist to swallow hard.
"Gajeel, don't be so hard on her. It's her first day," Panther Lily said walking on the table and Gajeel huffed. "I just want to know if she's for real or not," he said and Kaida glared at him.
"Just what are you trying to say? That I'm a fake Dragon Slayer?" She asked feeling her own anger rise up.
It wasn't normal for her to get angry but just by questioning her heritage made her angry. The cold drink in her hand started to change colors and temperatures while the cup started to turn into metal.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying" he said and Kaida was trying her best not to throw him with the cup. On the other side of the Guild, Lucy and Lenia stepped inside. They yelped as the men's fights almost dragged them in.
"What on Earth-" Lenia stopped talking as soon as she caught glance of Kaida's angry glare towards Gajeel. "Oh no, curse that girl's genes," she mumbled before storming off.
"Hey! Keep your attitude to yourself!" Lenia yelled and kicked Gajeel away in her battle form. "Gajeel-san!" Wendy exclaimed as he lay in a half destroyed bar and Kaida felt her anger vanish in an instant.
"Lenia?" She asked and the tiger-like Exceed looked at her. "He's just pushing your buttons so he can get a descent fight. Don't let him get to you" Lenia said and realized the stare Panther Lily gave her.
As soon as they met each other eyes, they stared and the tension built up between them. Unfortunately, it was broken when Gajeel stood up from the rubble and glared at Lenia.
"Why you little-" Gajeel was cut off when a iron pillar slammed into his abdomen and saw Kaida's glare. "How's that for a fake Dragon Slayer?" She said and everyone stopped to see her intense glare.
"I may be young but that doesn't mean I'm weak," she said and the Master smiled from upstairs. "You've got a fire burning to get stronger and care for those around you," he said and everyone looked up at him.
"We welcome you with open arms to Fairy Tail" he said and everyone except Gajeel cheered. I believe what Erza said is important. I hope that these two can find each other in the Guild. They'll make a strong team. Makarov thought as he looked at Natsu laughing and putting an arm around Kaida's shoulder making her blush.
Panther Lily kept his stare towards Lenia as he stood next to an angry Gajeel. Lenia caught his stare and huffed before walking over towards Kaida.
He felt his stomach tighten and his mouth went dry. "Hey, what's up with you, Lily?" Gajeel asked in his usual gruff voice and Lily shook his head.
"N-nothing. I was just curious about that Dragon Slayer's Powers. It seems Earth Dragon Slayers can bend more than one element" Lily covered up and was relieved that Gajeel didn't notice.
"She pisses me off. She's almost like the Salamander except her scent is more feminine..." Gajeel said and his eyes widened. Don't tell me she's-
"What's wrong, Gajeel?" Lily asked and Gajeel grunted. "Nothing" he said and continued to chow on his metal scrap.
Kaida smiled widely whe her pink Fairy Tail insigma was put on her upper right arm while the others laughed. Kaida enjoyed everyone's stories and found the feeling of contentness wash over her.
That time I finally felt like I was, complete again, Puraimu. Even thought you vanished seven years ago and left me with only a clue to my lost brother I could still feel your presence guiding me. However, I never thought I'd feel you so close to me ever again...
"She's really all tuckered out" Lucy said as she watched Kaida sleep peacefully in her new bed with Lenia tucked under her arm. "So cute" Lucy whispered before yawning and heading off towards her own bed.
"How long are you going to sit there, Natsu?" Lucy asked as he sat by the window. He shrugged and put his arms behind his head, "Do you think they'll really come after her, Luce?" Natsu asked abruptly and Lucy sat down on her bed.
"I don't know, Natsu. I'm getting a bad feeling about this. Somehow I just want to keep her safe," Lucy said and Natsu looked up at the starry sky.
"I can't help but feel the same. Even when we battled, I felt like I needed to protect her. She just feels very important and I don't know why" Natsu said and Lucy sighed.
"You should get some rest, Natsu. It was a long day," Lucy said climbing under her bed sheets. Natsu glanced at her before looking back at the night sky. "Yeah"
Lucy woke up early when the sun's rays hit her chocolate brown eyes. She groaned slightly and buried he face into her soft pillow.
Her ears peeked when she heard light snoring and groggily looked at the bed she had made for Kaida to see Natsu fast asleep inside. "NATSU?! What the hell are you doing?!" Lucy yelled at the Fire Dragon Slayer.
He let out a long groan before sitting up and rubbing his eyes. "Geez, Lucy. Why are you so loud?" He asked and Happy woke up next to him. "I was just having a nice dream before a monster named Lucy ate me up" he said half-asleep and anger boiled in Lucy's veins.
"What are you doing in Kaida's bed?!" She asked and they blinked in confusion before realizing where they were. "How did we get here?" Happy asked and Natsu was just as confused.
"I thought we were sleeping on the uncomfortable couch," Natsu said and Lucy gaped at how rude he can be at times without even realizing it. Then it suddenly clicked by all three of them and they sneaked up on a couch.
They peeked over the edge and saw Kaida sound asleep on the couch while only her feet peeked out from a small blanket. Natsu wanted to say something but the death glare Lucy gave him made him shut his mouth.
He moved on his toes with Happy until they were in front of the couch. Her face was peaceful as she slept and her breathing was shallow. "Don't disturb her," Lenia said from behind and shivers ran up everyone's spine.
Natsu glanced back at her while sweating bullets, "Aye, sir" he said and Happy looked at him dumb folded.
Kaida suddenly grabbed Natsu's neck and he gasped at the sudden action. He was almost suffocated by Kaida's movements while his face contorted in pain. "Natsu!" Happy and Lucy exclaimed while Natsu tried to get out of the death grip.
Everyone tried to pry her arm off but her grip only tightened. "Can't...breathe!" Natsu rasped out before feeling something wet fall onto his hair. Everyone gasped while Natsu froze, "What's she doing?" Natsu asked not wanting to know on the one side.
"She's crying" Lenia said with a sad face walking into the scene. Natsu looked up at Kaida who had tears streaming down her face before falling on his pink hair. "Kaida" he said and felt an unknown anger weld up inside him.
"Why is she crying?" Natsu asked Lenia with furrowed brows and she shook her head. "I don't know. Kaida never talks about her dreams or nightmares but this happens every time." Lenia said.
"Look! She's smiling!" Happy exclaimed and Natsu had a more difficult time to see the smile while she cried as she held tighter. "It's more like a sorrowful smile than a happy one" Lucy said and took Kaida's arm gently off Natsu's throat.
He breathed heavy as he lay on the floor and sighed in relief. "Last night she saw you two lying on the couch and decided to put you in her comfortable bed. She took the couch instead even though it was less comfortable" Lenia said, confused to her sister's actions.
"Alright then! I say we take her out fishing today!" Natsu said with a grin and Happy flew in by his side, "Aye, sir!" Happy exclaimed and Lucy smiled.
"That sounds like a great idea! I'll do with Lenia to go some shopping and make a nice meal for tonight," Lucy said. Happy and Natsu's mouths drooled slightly and they stomachs rumbled. "I can't wait!" Natsu said and Lenia just stared at them.
Why are they so dead set in making Kaida happy? Lenia thought and sighed.
