I awoke to the turquoise walls of my room. Memories of the day before filled my head but I felt much better. After having a shower I dried my hair and tied part of it into a spiky ponytail, like usual. Then got dressed and left my flat to head to the guild. I could hear the waters voice today, beautiful as always. It told me that today was a good day and I couldn't agree more. I just have a good feeling about it.
I reached the guild hall and walked in, this time less afraid to be noticed and it was a good thing to because everyone was looking at me.
"Um, hi?" I said confused.
"Look who we found" Natsu smiled brightly.
"Who found us actually" Lucy corrected him.
I looked to where Natsu was gesturing. Stood on a table directly in front of me was a light brow cat. A cat that looked more like a dog.
"Kuimori!" I called as I ran to him.
He leapt of the table and his wings appeared helping him to circle me as I spun round to see him. Everyone watched as he landed in my arms and I held him close.
"Your back!" I whispered to him happily.
"I promised." He whispered back. "I'll never break a promise that I make to ya, Ren. Never."
I held him tightly with tears of joy running down my face.
I had a strange feeling that Laxus had something to do with this.
I looked up and scanned the room. Everyone had gone back to there own business now and Natsu was walking towards me.
"Where's Laxus?" I asked him.
"He went out on a job"
"Oh, ok"
I looked down at Kuimori who looked back up at me curiously. I'd have to talk to him later. The only way I would find out if Laxus had helped was by talking to him or Kuimori.
I looked back up to see Natsu staring at me.
"That cats not gunner be a threat to me is he?"
"Huh?"
I was puzzled to what he meant. Not that I was surprised, Natsu never made much sense.
"Your cat, you don't fancy him, do you?"
Me and Kuimori stared at him in shock.
"What?!" We screamed in sink.
"What Magena said the other day. She's right."
"Wait, are you saying I'm the reason you broke up?"
I didn't know what to think about this strange situation.
"No, I'm saying I like you. A lot."
I just stood there staring at Natsu. Kuimori had now jumped out of my arms and was stood on the floor with Happy.
"I... I don't know what to say."
Suddenly he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around me.
"You don't have to say anything. Its fine."
I wrapped my arms around him too and leant my head on his shoulder.
"Right, we have a job to do!" Natsu said as he moves back and handed me some paper.
'Save our village
4,000,000'
It said nothing else but where the village was. Somewhere far into the snowy mountains.
"Come on, Lucy's waiting for us." Natsu said as he headed out the door.
"Aye, sir" happy replied as he followed.
"This is ridiculous. We've been searching for ages. She says angrily" Horologium, Lucy's clock spirit, said in her place since she was sat inside him.
He was a large grandfather clock with a glass case so Lucy found it a handy place to hide from the cold. I didn't blame her, the cold griped to my skin like tiny needles that I couldn't even see.
"It should be just up here" I replied looking at the request.
When we reached the top of the mountain the village came into view.
"Just in time. Sorry mistress, Lucy but my time has run out" Horologium said as he disappeared with a cloud of smoke, leaving Lucy on the cold ground wrapped in a blanket.
The village was small. A few houses, a few shops and a large water fountain in the middle but it had no water. Behind the fountain was a large building, presumably the town hall.
"I think we should head there" Kuimori said pointing to the large building.
"I agree" Lucy declared
"Then lets go!" Natsu replayed.
"Aye, sir" Happy said as he followed Natsu.
When we got to the building an old man greeted us.
"I am the mayor of this village and I called you hear because our sacred fountain has dried up. We need you to refill it!" The old man told us.
"Will any water do?" I asked.
"As long as its filled"
"Then it the perfect job for me" I said proudly.
"WATER DRAGON, ROAR" I shouted, then water flowed from my mouth into the fountain at high speed.
When I was done I stepped back and looked at the fountain now flowing with water. It was a beautiful sight. The water changed colour as it ran through the fountain. Blue. Red. Pink. Orange.
"That was easy" I said triumphantly.
I returned to my flat and collapsed on my bed, face first. The job may have been easy but the journey there and back certainly wasn't. At least I was home now.
"Kuimori?"
I sat up on the bed and watched him as he jumped up and sat next to me.
"What's wrong?" He asked
"Nothing, I was just wondering..." I paused, trying to think how to phrase the question. "How did you find me?"
"Actually I didn't."
"What?"
I didn't understand what he meant.
"I was wandering the streets, tryin my best to find where ya were. I had no food, water or money and barely any energy left. Just as I was losing hope this dude found me. He asked if I was Kuimori and when I told him I was he took me to the guild hall."
"The young man that found you. Did he have blond hair and a magic music devise?" I asked
"Yeah. How'd you know?"
I smiled. I knew he had helped!
"He's a friend."
I got changed and got into bed.
"Kuimori, can you get the light?" I yawned.
"Sure"
He flew up to the light switch and then it was dark.
