"G...Great... just what I needed... you four idiots coming here to drag me back to the guild..." Rin coughed, blood dribbling out of the corners of her mouth. She glared at Rey, her hand pressed against the wound on the right side of her chest, and said, "Also, you didn't need to stab me like that! What if you missed and punctured my lung or something, huh?"

"Well, if you die... there's not much of a difference anyways... just that another weakling would have stopped being such a nuisance by living..." Rey answered, calmly, his facial expression not changing.

"If you're going to keep protesting... do you want me to actually kill you before you even step into the guild? I don't mind," Vyere smirked, knives already in her hands.

Kaya looked the other way, away from the two groups of different guilds and groaned, "Can we go home now? This is ridiculous..." she leaned against her katana, which she stuck into the ground by a few centimeters.

"Hey, Rin-chan, am I an idiot too?" Raiko grinned, pointing at himself. He glanced over at the Fairy Tail members, mostly the girls, and when he saw Lucy's, he thought, Wow... nice boobs... bet they're around a size E... wish the chicks at our guild had bodies like that.

"Yeah... you're the most idiotic," Rin replied. Suddenly, something sharply hit the back of her head, and the girl fell to the ground, knocked out. The blood from her wound oozed out of her, staining the ground, her clothes, and her hair.

Another Vyere Regificus stared down at the fallen girl. Her hand, which she knocked Rin out with, was as straight as a board. There were now two Vyere's... one was right next to Rin, while the other was with her teammates. Vyere pulled the coffin off, tossed it aside, picked Rin up and tossed her to Rey. Just when the black haired girl fell into the boy's arms, a bright, blond streak zipped past and snatched Rin from harm's way.

Carma Sacred hauled the unconscious girl onto his shoulder and grinned, "I'll be taking her."

The five other dark guild members, including Hikari, stared at Carma for a moment, their eyes full of disbelief, surprise, and suspicion. Finally, Rey sighed and said, "Fine with me... I'm glad I didn't need to carry something so disgusting, after all."

"Oi..." a voice growled.

The Black Rose guild members, except for Rin, and the Fairy Tail members turned to see who just spoke.

"Oi... isn't she your ally? Aren't you all in the same guild?" Natsu snarled as he glared at the dark mages, "Dark guild or not, I won't forgive those who call their friends weak or useless!"

A soft, cruel snicker sounded from Kaya when she heard the angered dragon slayer's words, "Friends? Don't kid with me, boy."

Natsu clenched his fists and took a step towards them, but Erza stopped him, holding her blade in front of his chest, "Don't," she said, "We don't know how strong they are."

Kaya turned to Rey, who nodded and faced Carma. "We're going back... And I'll report to the master for you... Carma," he said with a cold stare.

With one arm holding Rin in place on his shoulder, Carma Sacred smiled and waved to him, "See ya!"

With that, the team of four retreated from the place, going back to their guild, Black Rose. As soon as they disappeared, Hikari, whose face had gone pale, walked over to the iron coffin that had been tossed aside and used her magic to make it float in the air, making the wind push up at the heavy thing from the bottom. Carma glanced over at Hikari, his mouth frozen in a smile, and he turned to the Fairy Tail members who were still staring at what was happening wordlessly.

He waved and said, "We'll be going too! See you guys later!" Then, he turned his back to them and started to walk away, "C'mon, Hikari."

Wait a minute... that girl with the weird magic earlier called that kid Hikari, too... I've heard that name somewhere... What? No way... It can't be..., Gray thought, and he muttered softly, "Hi...kari?"

The young girl walked over to Carma, carrying the coffin with her wind. She didn't even turn to the Ice Mage when he called her name. Carma gazed back at Gray and answered, "That's right. Her name is Hikari... Hikari Fullbuster. Got a problem with that?"

Hikari... Fullbuster? Lucy thought, her head turning quickly to Gray, What does he mean by Fullbuster? Gray's last name is Fullbuster too... What is going on?

"Nothing, really," Gray replied, glaring back at the dark mage with serious eyes, trying to erase the confusion from them.

"Hmf," Carma huffed, then the three dark mages turned and left, leaving the Fairy Tail mages in shock and confusion.


"Gray-sama..." Juvia trailed off.

"What does he mean, Gray?" Erza demanded.

"Why does that girl have the same last name as you do?" Leon asked.

Gray clenched his fists as he stared down at the ground, not really believing it himself, "Hikari... my little sister... she was alive all this time... Hikari Fullbuster..."


"Has she still not healed yet?"

"She's been causing trouble for a while now."

"What's she doing, purposely not killing anybody, especially the light guild trash during the last missions?"

"We're going to hear her scream any minute now..."

"How many times has it been... three, now?"

"All of her skin will be peeled off at this rate..."

The frightened, soft whispers of Black Rose guild members sounded throughout the guild. It had been only yesterday when a few of the dark mages, including Hikari, Rin, and the others, stopped by Fairy Tail to create trouble.

Rin was kneeling on the cold, stone floor inside of the master's room, her ankles and wrists cuffed by chains. The girl's eyes were closed, her body was battered and covered with bruises, and she was barely hanging on to her own consciousness. Soft clicks of heels approached her, and Rin looked up to see a familiar face.

"Lydia..." she breathed, "So you're the one... figures... with your magic..."

"Don't talk, you fool," Lydia snarled, holding a red hot metal with the symbol of the Black Rose guild carved on the bottom, where it was the hottest. The metal had been roasting in the fire for hours, getting ready to be used.

Lydia slit open Rin's clothes from the back using her dagger, stopping right at the end of her back. Four dark, slightly red marks of Black Rose patterned Rin's back. The one she had showed to Leon was on the neckline, a bit darker than the others.

"Where should I put it? Her shoulders, neckline, and the middle of her back have been covered... Master," Lydia asked.

From the shadows, a voice purred, "Put it somewhere delicate... perhaps the front... on her stomach."

Lydia nodded and ripped open the area of clothes that covered Rin's stomach. She stepped in front of her, then kneeled down, holding the hot metal only a few inches away from the skin.

"Sure..." Lydia replied, then pressed the branding tool right on top of Rin's bellybutton, watching the skin sizzle and burn under the hot plate.

A shrill scream echoed through the guild's walls. The cry of pain and agony rang through the guild members' ears as they listened to the sound of one of them being punished... punished for breaking the rules of the guild itself.

When the hot metal was lifted off, a fresh branding in the shape of the Black Rose mark nearly covered Rin's entire belly, the center of the rose being her bellybutton. She breathed heavily, sweat and tears being mixed as they dropped onto the floor.

From the shadows, the same, menacing voice purred, "You've been a bad child, Rin... and bad children need to be punished. Don't forget... you're branded... branded as a member of Black Rose. You have always been my property since you stepped into this guild. Now... are you going to rebel against me again?"

There was no reply, for Rin's eyes were pointed downwards and the man who spoke was hidden in the shadows. A dark black claw of ice shot out from the direction of the man's voice, and held the branded girl by the neck. A man who seemed around his forties stepped out of the shadows, his right arm connected to the claw of ice. His left eye, which was badly scarred, was covered by a black eye patch, and he wore a long cloak.

"I said... are you going to rebel against me again?" he growled, holding Rin's face up to him so that she can read his lips of cruel words.

Rin stared up at the man with her dark eyes that seemed empty, with no emotion nor strength.

"No... Master..." she breathed.
