Last time~

Someoneelse's pov~

i had come back to the guild, we were never there long and we came back when there was less people in the guild. my nose twitched and i looked up

"i thought she wasnt here yukino"

"i said it was next week! stop being such an ass!"

Lucy POV~

i blanked out Toby, the strange dog cat man behind me, and glanced sideways at Yuka before weaving through the crowd. "any specific reason you need sabertooth?" i said flatly

"oh i assure you its for a good reason!" Yuka the wave smilled... creepy...

"uhuh but you know this is sabertooth right, not some cushy county club and Master is hardly ever there" i say casually, slowing as we turn up a road wich slopes upward steeply.

"oh i'm aware of that, dont worry" he puffed as he hurried to catch up to me "we just need some help from a few wizards"

"i see" we didnt say any more until we reached the top of the cobbled hill.

"welcome to sabertooth guild hall" i said as they gawked at the huge building. 'How had they missed it?!' i swung open the huge doors and the guild was silent... odd...

"hey Yukino" i called, most of the guild broke out into small conversations and i shrugged before walking over to the bar, arms crossed. i leaned my elbows on the counter before continuing "picked up a couple lamias in town, they want to see master but he's never in so i'm sending them to you" i stood upright sharply and started to walk away

"i'm right here" i turned stiffly to see a super unimpressed Guild master. arms folded, scowling and sat on a bench not far from the bar. next to him was the second in command, turned to face me, hair back and sporting the same attitude as the Guild master, despite having the poker face.

"ah, master its been a while" i said with a straight face

"humn," Sting Eucliffe nodded slowly. mug in hand.

Rouge Pov~

i studied the girl, short blonde hair and a familiar looking black outfit with iron boots. i shrugged it off mentally and tried to place where i had seen her before, the scent of the booze was thick fom Sting's mug and it chocked me, its all i could smell now.

"anyway, those lamias want you" she cut through my thoughts and i saw the two wizards, clearly out of their comfort zone.

"i'll speak to 'em" Sting hopped off the bench and led them to his rarely touched office. the guild was plunged into silence and the only thing to be heard was the receeding steps of the rude pixie like woman. i looked at yukino, " she has an attitude" i said flatly , glancing at the doorway of the guild. yukino sat next to me and slumped slightly. "she's had it a while, shes no trouble though" she rubbed her forehead with a sigh

"i'm not convinced"

"well..."yukino screwed her face slightly "she doesnt communicate easily and its hard when you go on jobs with her, i think she just needs more people to be able to talk to"

"i see" i sipped on my drink again

"she hangs with Ogra and Rufus whenever theyre in"

"that makes sense" i nodded slowly, glancing to the corner where Rufus and ogra usually sit and dont really talk. i glanced up at the doorway as the Red memory mage strode in.

"ah, i see your finally back Rouge" he tipped his hat with a smirk and i nodded.

"we are yes"

"ahh, i dont s'pose you've seen a certain female wizard have you?"

"if that certain female wizard has a large attitude, you must've walked past her" i said flatly, clearly not in the mood to converse.

"ahh yes, i think that might be the lady" he turned around after a slight bow and went to leave.

"not much of a lady" i shokk my head and muttered. Rufus laughed and touched the tip of his hat, looing up and over his shoulder.

"i might want to watch my tounge if i were you" he said before disapeering.

Timeskip, Rouge Pov~

"right!" the guild snapped around to stare at their master who was sat on the bar counter. sting held the smallest, fattest, dustiest excuse for a book in his hand. "Has anyone seen Rufus? we need him and anyone else who are good with coding, runes, books... anything along those lines. Lamia scale came into possesion of an old book which is definately important to the wellbeing of many. Unfortunately, the book had a strong spell set on it so the truth cannot be found. its the only thing that holds information on a place between worlds which there is otherwise no information about." Sting paused and sweeped the room with his sharp eyes "it is a great threat to wizards and civillians alike"

"Other than Rufus i dont know anyone who would be able to even touch a book"someone grunted.

"I know that Rouge and Rufus are familiar with books and alike but who else? those two cant be enough alone" Sting frowned and stared at the green book in his hand.

"what about.. ah, nevermind" Yunkino began but waved off her idea completely.

"continue Yukino" i said flatly.

"i, uh, okay... what about uh, well the guild commonly knows her as 'Iron Boots' now" she looked around at the guild and some of them were shocked and confused "yeah, you guys wouldnt believe me anyway" she sighed and leaned back so her back rested on the table. "never mind"

"what else could she be doing in her spare time anyway, i see her in the vintage cafe downtown with a book sometimes" someone said from the back

"rouge could you go get them? we need to start immedietly" i looked up at sting and sighed heavily before heaving myself off the bench and strolling out of the guild. Frosch appeared at the doorway and lept onto my shoulder without saying much.

i had found Rufus' scent quickly and i followed it to the nice part of town. i walked past mine and sting's shared house, down the road until i turned off down a pretty cul-de-sac. i ended up in front of a tall and thin white house with an iron balcony and trailing plants growing up,over and around the house, pink and white blooms scattered the greenery. "this sure as hell isnt Rufus' place" i said

"fro thinks so too..."

i stepped through the small iron gate wich had cute heart and flower patterns in it and walked up to the door. i grasped the lion faced knocker and hit the door a few times. the door swung open and rufus was behind it, hat off and holding a delicate teacup with tea.

"ah Rouge, what a surprise, come in!" he smiled and stepped back. i i finally got to smell the house, it was a wonderful light Vanilla scent which didnt match Rufus at all. why was he here and why did he answer the door? i followed him through the hallway and into a cute lounge, thats when i started to smell the twang of iron. i could never forget the smell of iron.

"ne, Rufus, Who was there?" i look over and see the girl from before sat on one of the sofas, feet tucked up underneith her like a kitten. her black clothes and armour were replaced with a casual pair of denim shorts and a lace cropped strappy top. little blue ballet flats were in front of her on the floor. i noticed that her trademark iron boots were by the large french doors, one on its side, fallen over.

"its Rogue" he replied. 'Iron Boots' looked over at me and her soft short blonde hair tousled in the breeze that swept through the window.

"oh," she sipped her tea "what do you want then?
