Ch 9

( the next day at the guild)

"So, how did you do it. How did you ask Titania to go with you to the dance?" asked Gajeel to the very embarrassed blue haired Mage. He was not the only one who wanted to know how he had done it. Natsu, Gray, Luxus, Elfman and Freed were also listening.

"Well I asked Sakura for help. She yelled at me, then mocked me, then helped me, then made fun of me. I just followed her directions. I ordered a cake asking her to go out with me, took her to pick up the cake, and she said yes." said Jellal blushing.

Meanwhile the girls...

"So that is how it happened." said Erza blushing and uncomfortable because she did not enjoy being the center of attention when it came to her love life.

"That's so romantic!" cried Mira and Lisanna.

"I wish the others would ask us to the dance already." said Levy all depressed.

"At least you might be able to go." said Wendy with a frown.

"Why don't you go with Pantherlily as friends? You could ask Gajeel. And don't worry I am going with Mr. Rhino." said Sakura.

"Thats a great idea! But won't it be a little weird going with Mr. Rhino? He is like your son." asked Lucy.

"Nah! In many of our jobs we had to go undercover so it is not really weird." responded Sakura.

"But won't a flying rhino be really noticeable?" asked Erza.

"Mr. Rhino. Human form." said Sakura to Mr. Rhino. A magic circle immediately appeared on the floor under him. With a flash of light, in the place where Mr. Rhino was standing was a handsome young man. He had gray hair and chocolate-brown eyes. In both of his hands were daggers that were really his horns. Everyone was really impressed. When Sakura gave a nod, Mr. Rhino turned back to his normal form.

A few hours later

"Sakura-chan, don't you have someone who you might like?" asked Mira to the young matchmaker. Mira knew of all of Sakura's plans for the other couples including the one for her and Luxus. There was just one thing missing, and that was a plan for Sakura herself. Mira thought that it would be just wonderful if she could pair up the girl herself to someone in the guild.

"Yeah! Anyone catch your eye?" asked Lucy with a mischievous smile.

"No. Not in this guild. I did have someone thought." she answered as the sparkle in her eyes disappeared.

"What happened?" asked Erza with curiosity. It had been the first time that she had heard of her sister liking someone.

"He disappeared." said Sakura as Mr. Rhino went to comfort his mother figure. "After we were separated in the tower, they put me to work with all the younger kids. That is where I met him. His name was Sai. He was Jellal's younger brother and we soon became friends. After some time he found a strange egg hidden in the tower. He keeps the egg hidden from the cult members fearing that they would use it for evil purposes. I helped him take care of the egg until it hatched. From that egg came Mr. Rhino. The three of us were like a little family until the uprising. After the uprising, you had left and Jellal was possessed. He was mad that you had left him so he made plans to kill me, but Sai interfered. He exchanged his life to protect me. I soon left and got all of my titles. When I got back to the Tower, Jellal informed me that Sai was still alive but that I would never see him again. Because I was more powerful than he was, I had more freedom then the others. I left frequently to try to find him and to train myself in more magic. That is where I was when you went back to the tower. It was Sai that we were trying to find in our last mission Lucy." said Sakura with a serious face.

The whole guild was quite except for the girls who were crying and looking at her.

"How can you be so calm and forgiving after what Jellal did to you?" asked Levy.

"I forgive him because it was not his fault for what happened. Plus he also makes my sister happy." She said with her usual smile.
