"Should we check if Natsu's in?" Miko asked as she laid lazily on her new couch. "It's been a few days already." She let her head drop back onto the arm of the couch and watched the fan spin slowly on the ceiling.
"You're being impatient Miko," her furry friend replied as he stuffed his face with various kinds of fish. "Give it a few more days," he waved a paw as if to brush off her thought.
"Well I'm going to check whether you come with me or not," she huffed as she got up. She headed towards the door, putting on a white jacket along the way. She hesitated at the doorway and waited to see if Sven would make a last second decision to come along. She had a hand on the doorway with her head tilted to the side to watch Sven out of the corner of her eye. He just sat there eating, making no move to come over anytime soon. There was silence, followed by a sigh, before Miko left the house.
The shining sun brightened up the streets of Magnolia; the water shimmered from the rays of light. There were the soft callings of small birds in the distance of the bustling streets. Everything made it an overall good day to take a walk outside.
"The weather is great today," Miko smiled at the sky. Clouds lazed about in the blue ocean above, decorating the scenery with white fluffiness. "If Sven came he could've enjoyed this, too," she huffed and crossed her arms. A sudden eruption of cheers from the crowd a few ways ahead of her caught her attention. "What is going on?" she sped up her steps to check out the commotion. Sounds of fire erupting and swords swinging were the first clues to tell her that there was a fight. She caught a glimpse of red hair before a giant gong like sound went off. Miko finally squeezed past two people to see what was going on in the middle of the crowd.
"That's enough," Miko heard a voice declare. Her eyes were drawn to the only moving figure, seeing as how everyone was frozen stiff. It was a frog dressed in robes with some sort of fancy headdress. "Everyone stay where you are. I am a messenger of the council."
"The council?"
"A messenger?"
"Why did they send one here?"
"They're ignoring the scene in front of them, aren't they?"
Three people followed up by Lucy gasped. Miko almost did a double take at the blonde.
"It's Lucy!" the pale haired girl gasped in excitement. That's when she noticed the two people who were fighting in the first place. "Natsu and Erza?" her eyes widened considerably. "This crowd…it's Fairy Tail!" she gasped again.
"Stemming from the recent Eisenwald incident, we hereby charge you with 11 accounts of criminal property damage," the frog continued. "Erza Scarlet," the frog pointed out. "You are under arrest."
"Say what?" Natsu shouted. There was silence as everyone took that in.
"You must come with me," the frog motioned towards her. Erza unequipped, transforming back to her normal attire and nodded. With a straight face, she walked steadily towards the council messenger. The frog cuffed Erza's hands behind her back to ensure less resistance. Without an ounce of emotion, she was led away to her arrest. The crowd, slowly filling with anger, marched back to their guild building. Miko stood there in shock. Erza had been arrested? How could the council do this considering the circumstances? She shook her head; there must have been a reason.
"For now," Miko stared at the disappearing crowd of wizards. "I will have to retreat back to Sven."
"I told you so," Sven flew next to her with his arms crossed.
"I know, I know, I should've waited," Miko mumbled. "But that was just luck, Sven! Natsu was right in front of me! I could've…," she sighed. "Well! He's definitely at the guild now so right now is the best time to enter."
"Is that where we're headed to now?" Sven did a spin in the air before lazily dropping down to sit on her shoulder.
"Of course. We will finally get to meet Natsu," Miko smiled as she stopped in front of the giant doors to the building. "Let's do this Sven," Miko took a breath before slamming open the doors. There was a giant noise as the door swung open and hit the wall in one motion. "Natsu Dragneel!" Miko shouted. All eyes quickly fell on her as their past business was forgotten by the sudden intrusion. "I finally found you!" she pointed at the pink haired boy. Silence followed for a few seconds before everyone's magic circles appeared. They readied attacks towards her before Mirajane gasped and ran forward. She shielded the girl with her arms spread out.
"Stop!" Mirajane commanded. "This girl means no harm," she turned around to face Miko.
"Oh it's the girl from before!"
"So she's finally back?"
"I totally forgot about her!"
"Who is she? How do you know her?" Natsu asked, stepping forwards, his arms a flame.
"This is Miko, if I remember correctly. She came looking for you a few days ago," Mirajane answered as she motioned towards the girl in blue. Natsu furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and made his way over to Miko.
"Why were you looking for me?" he asked, pointing towards himself. "I don't even know you."
"I came to fight you," Miko declared. "You're strong right? And you're a dragon slayer," Miko said.
"Aye!" a blue cat, known as Happy ran to Natsu's side. "Look Natsu!" Happy pointed towards the girl's shoulder.
"You have a Happy, too?" a blonde, Lucy, came up beside Natsu to look at Miko's companion. He was previously sitting contently on her shoulder.
"A Happy?" Sven asked.
"It talks!" some guild members shouted.
"I am no Happy. I am Sven," he said as he dropped onto the ground to face the blue cat. Natsu completely ignored the conversation happening between felines, only focusing on the girl in front of him. He's definitely never seen her before; the pale blue hair wasn't something he could easily forget if he did. Her attire was nothing flashy either, just a plain white skirt topped off with a fitted tank and a blue jacket. There was nothing showing that she was a wizard so was she just a common passerby?
"Aren't you going to fight me?" she asked. "I've been waiting for this day for my whole life."
"For your whole life?" everyone in the guild shouted in surprise.
"Yes, I made a promise to my guardian long ago that I challenge every single dragon slayer that I can. Whether I win or not is up to fate but I will fulfill that promise. So Natsu! I challenge you," Miko pointed at him. "Please help me fulfill my promise to Aquinora."
"Aquinora?" Natsu looked at her with curiosity.
"Aquinora is to me, as Igneel is to you," Miko replied.
"Does that mean…," Erza's eyes widened.
"Are you?" Lucy gasped.
"A dragon slayer?!" Natsu shouted as he took a step back.
