"You are... one of the Fairy Tail mages? Why did you follow me?" Rin asked, her eyes narrowing at the boy. She sat on the spider web above him, her black cloak faintly shimmering in the moonlight.
"And how did you find out I was following you? Aren't you supposed to be deaf?" Gray shot back a question, tugging at the web he was stuck in, but was unable to free himself.
"I planted my thread in the streets of this town... every single vibration sent to the earth is picked up by my strings and are sent to me," the girl replied, freeing herself easily from her web and jumping down to the ground. She turned towards him, pressing a dagger to his neck, "You still didn't answer my question."
"I wanted to talk to you... about that girl... Hikari..."
Rin frowned when she read the name on his lips, "What about her?"
"I'm her brother."
The black haired girl's eyes widened in surprise, and she staggered backwards, not believing her eyes. Using that chance, Gray escaped from the trap... by taking off his clothes. He jumped down in front of Rin, wearing only his boxers, while his shirt and pants were still stuck to the girl's web. Rin regained her balance and she stepped back, stopping a few meters from the boy.
She tilted her head at Gray and smiled, "Nice abs... so you're using the 'seduction' plan to get away? The 'arousing the enemy' part of it is working pretty well..."
"I'm lucky that I have this kind of habit... I'm used to being embarrassed at this level..." Gray muttered. Rin raised her eyebrow and she used her web to leap over the boy and land right behind him.
She slid her hand up his bare chest and said, "Oh, really? You aren't embarrassed at all?"
A fierce blush flared on Gray's face and he tried to push her away, "Let go!"
Rin hung onto Gray, digging her nails into his flesh. She growled, "Besides... if you really are Hikari's older brother..." Rin made small scars on his chest with her nails, drawing tiny drops of blood, and she kicked him to the ground on his stomach, drilling her heels into his back, "Why the hell did you leave her alone after that attack, huh!"
"That's because..." Gray snarled, twisting onto his side and kicking her away, "I thought she was dead! I thought my whole family was killed by Deliora!"
"Oh, really?" Rin laughed, throwing a kick at his face, which he blocked, "What a lame excuse! Tell me more! Tell me more about your stupid actions, you worthless excuse of a brother!"
Gray grabbed the girl's leg and swung her onto the ground on her back, "I really don't want to fight you! All I want to do is talk!"
"Hah!" The black haired girl yelled, reaching up and grabbing Gray's hair, "You think I'll just give her to you and it will all be a piece of cake! No way!" Rin jumped up to her feet and slammed Gray's head into a wall, "All these years, I took care of her! And look what you did! You think that you can gain what you lost that easily? It's too late for you now! Because you left her, Hikari is now stuck in Black Rose!"
"Ice Make... Hammer!" Gray said, hitting the girl with the weapon, smashing her onto the opposite wall, "Another thing I want to ask... Why are you guys trying to kill us? What did we ever do to you? Dark guild or not, you've got to have at least some emotions!"
Rin grabbed onto the head of the hammer and her thread sliced it into pieces. She spat out blood as she glared at Gray, "Tch... useless fly... what do you know? You do practically whatever you want at your guild... Fairy Tail! At our guild, we don't have a choice in what we do! It's either do or die!"
"What do you mean?" Gray asked, right before Rin punched him in the guts.
"I'm saying that if we don't do what we're ordered, then there's always a punishment! We're just like slaves there! Slaves that don't have a right to do anything!" She growled,"Also, about Hikari... try again after you know how it feels to lose your elder sibling... and come to me when you're actually ready to beat me to a pulp."
"Eh?"
Suddenly Gray flew up into the air and his body did a 180 degree turn towards the ground. Strings that were wrapped around him had hoisted him up. The thread was attached to another enlarged web above him. Rin chuckled as she walked towards the helpless ice mage. She lowered the strings a bit so that she was face to face with Gray. Rin reached up and lightly stroked the side of Gray's face and purred, "You're not a bad fighter... but if you really want to talk about Hikari with me come find me again.. after..."
She poked the Fairy Tail mark on his chest and continued, "After you get rid of this." Rin smiled and lightly kissed his cheek then darted off, "See ya later, hottie!"
"Oi... bi-polar girl... at least let me out of this mess first..." Gray muttered, still hanging from the web, "Dammit..."
Rin slowly slid open the window to a large house before stepping in stealthily. She looked around herself to see familiar surroundings. She smiled and was quietly walking over to the closet of the bedroom when she felt a sharp point poking her back. Rin froze in place and turned her head to see Carma grinning at her, a large spike of earth with a drill-like shape protruding out of his right hand.
"...Um... what the heck?" Rin muttered, motioning toward his weapon that was still pointing at her.
"I thought you would be some type of lesbian robber stealing girls' underwear," Carma said as the spike made of earth crumbled into a pile on the floor.
"Haha... very funny... and for the 100th time in my life, I'm straight," she growled, opening the closet door and starting to dig through it.
Still smiling, Carma Sacred asked, "You have blood on your clothes and your face is bruised... what happened?"
Rin began to stuff her clothes into bags, not giving a reply. The end of Carma's mouth twitched into a scowl and he grabbed her shoulder, twisting her around to face him, "You're always like this... not even looking at me like an equal... and why the hell are you deaf anyways!"
The girl only glared up at him, not saying anything in response.
"Argh! It's just like that time when I confessed-"
"Shut up, idiot. Go look at some porn magazines so that you can just shut up. Why the hell are you in my old room? Leave me alone, for goodness sake... stop following me!," Rin snapped, wrenching his arm away from her, but he pinned her down, this time, on the floor.
"Then why don't you stop following Raven?" Carma smirked.
A dark expression passed Rin's face at Carma's words and she kicked him off, pushing herself up, "There's a reason to doing that... it's his fault I'm in that stupid assassin guild. If I kill him, I can be free..."
"Oi.. watch your words," The boy growled with a playful smile, "The Hunter is back... first kill was Ginny, just earlier today."
Rin froze, startled, and clenched her fists, gazing at Carma with wide eyes, "It's not me... not this time."
"I know," Carma chuckled, "That's why I'm warning you."
Rey Fang leaned on one of the outside walls of Black Rose, staring up at the moon in the dark sky. He took a sip from his beer and sighed, turning over to Vyere who was standing next to him. He asked, "What are you doing here?"
Vyere Regificus crossed her arms and gazed at her teammate calmly, "Nothing, really, just a few questions."
"Shoot," Rey muttered.
"What is the Hunter? Why is everyone so scared of it? Why did it kill Ginny?"
"That's right... you weren't here when it last happened... anyways, why are you asking me? Ken has more information."
Vyere just looked at him with cold eyes and he sighed, "The Hunter is someone picked by the Master to kill the traitors of our guild, Black Rose. That person also kills the weak. Most likely, Ginny was killed because she couldn't really fight and only changed the weather... and for limited times too."
"One more question," Vyere pressed on, "This is totally unrelated to the Hunter..."
"Hm?"
"Have you... have you ever been in love?"
Rey's eyes widened at the younger teammate's question and he chuckled, "How can you find love in this type of bloody hell? You're asking the wrong person... if you want to know, go find Rin."
"Eh? Why?"
"She's the one who fell in love with a light guild fly a few years ago."
