Chapter Two: Blue Flame

Blue flame instantly engulfed my sword and I, my tail had unfortunately shot bolt upright when this happened, so much for trying to keep it a secret. The room was covered in the blue glow of the fire and no longer in the darkness. I turned to look at the old man, to see his reaction. He had thrown the sword to the other side of the room; he was staring at it with eyes wide. Then he turned to look at me this only increased his fear, he turned to run out of the room but managed to trip and fall. I shouted at him trying to help him regain some of his senses, "Hey it's okay alright!"

He looked into my eyes and spoke in almost a whisper, "I knew you weren't human. I knew you were different, but this? The son of the devil, here?" he started to shake his head as if trying to deny any of information from being true.

I stood up and tried to stand, to reach my sword and stop the fire, but my ankle wouldn't let me. As soon as I tried to put some weight on it, it buckled. I whined in pain and sat back down on the bed, looking again at the old man. He regained some of his composure and was back on his feet. "Why are you here!?" he demanded.

"I don't know. I don't even know how I got here. Look could you just put the sword back into its sheath."

He looked at me with a blank expression on his face, and then he nodded in understanding as he made his way over to the burning sword. He grabbed it gingerly and put it back into its case, the flames ceased and the room converted back into its original darkness. My tail flopped back onto the bed no longer engulfed in flames. The old guy was still looking at me weird. "Anything you want to ask me?" I asked.

He shook his head no then spoke up, "What's your name?"

"It's Rin, yours?"

"Just call me Makarov. Let's just keep this between us right now okay?"

I snickered, "Why? Do you not want me to tell everyone of how scared you were?"

He gave me a if-you-say-anything-about-this-I-will-personally-find-you-and-kill-you look.

"Just kidding, heh" I said weakly. Makarov huffed as he left the room and once again I was left alone in the darkness.

The next day I tried and failed yet again to walk around. I plopped back down onto by bed in defeat and let out a sigh. How long would I be stuck in bed like this? I looked longingly at my sword, desperately wanting to get home to Yukio, and Kuro, and Sheimi, and even Bon that arrogant prick. I started daydreaming of what I would do when I got back, I would make everyone dinner and a cake! Ya that would be great, I smiled at the ceiling with happy thoughts in my brain when someone opened the door. It was a boy with pink spikey hair and a scarf on accompanied by a girl with her blonde hair in a side pony tail and a shirtless boy with dark hair and a strange symbol tattooed on his chest. "Hello." I said.

Pinky spoke up with a really happy voice, "Hi! We just wanted to see how you were doing."

I smiled at this act of kindness, "Ohh well thanks, that's really nice of you guys."

The blond girl looked at me weird way, I guess that I must have stared too long or looked too confused so she asked, "Sorry but what's up with your ears, and your teeth" she paused for a second, "And is that a tail?"

I stared at her blankly for a second, then just stated the obvious, "Why yes, yes that is a tail."

"Why do you have a tail!?"

I retaliated with another random comment, "Why don't you?"

"Well I, I don't know!" She looked at me with a pouty expression.

Shirtless boy changed the topic, "So how are you healing? We weren't able to get you a cast on your arm and we didn't do anything about those ribs of yours."

"Well my ribs still hurt like hell but my arm is feeling good." I moved my arm around for emphasis.

Pinky looked at me with obvious shock on his face, "Uhhh hey guy."

"The names Rin by the way, what is it."

"Well Rin, your arm was broken at the elbow, it was turned the wrong way you know."

"Yes I've already been told as much."

"Well you shouldn't even be able to move it right now. Really you shouldn't even be up right now."

I smiled at this, "Ya I was told about that as well. I'm just a fast healer I guess."

"Alright, see you soon Rin." Pinky turned around and started to wave good bye.

"Hey! I didn't catch your name!"

Pinky turned around and smiled, "Its Natsu." He pointed at the blonde then the shirtless boy, "And that's Lucy and that's Gray."

"See you Natsu!" I said as him and his friends left the room. Where do you think they're from? I asked myself. Oh well I guess I'll just have to figure that out later.
