Nance- Hey guys! The accident in this story isn't when Akito accidentally pushed Tohru off of a cliff, okay? You'll find out what it is soon. And Merry early Christmas! I know that my time frame is really messed up, Kisa shouldn't have known Lucy before she left but... This is for the story so please just pretend. And I don't own Fairy Tail or Fruits Basket!

Kyo- Thank Akito for that!

Nance-Hey, don't be mean! And why are you the one who always pops up in these?

Kyo- 'Cause you like me ;)

Nance- Nope, not it. Besides, Aren't you going out with Tohru?

Tohru- N-no, w-what do you mean?

Nance- C'mon, I know you like each other

Mira- Like? I knew it! Yay! *squeals*

Nance- Can you get them together Mira?

Mira- Sure! But isn't this your story?

Nance- ...Yeah, good point. I'll be sure to put it in the story!

Nance & Mira- *squeal*

Kyo- *sweat-drop* Let's just get on with the story.

Nance- I thought you didn't like the story *innocent smile*

Kyo- I-I don't, but..

Nance- *laughs* Alright, but I'm still putting Kyo/Tohru in there.

CHAPTER 6

Levy traveled by train, certain that she would get to the bottom of what she dubbed the "Sohma Mystery". She arrived at Joya at about 3 in the afternoon and decided to visit the job location to check out the job and see what she needed to do for the job. Levy got to the store it was called Shiraki Books and she knocked.

A rather cute guy opened the door. He was in his middle–twenties and had black hair, "I'll be back Miss Mayu, Hatori wants his new book soon. Oh, hello young lady. Pardon me." Levy thought he was cute but rather weird. He went around her, careful to not touch her. Levy shook it off and went inside. She was met by a young lady, who was muttering something about a Shigure and Hatori.

"Hello?" Levy asked tentatively, the lady was bent over a box of books, muttering to herself.

"Oh! Hello, you must be the Fairy Tail mage that accepted the job. My name is Mayuko Shiraki but you can call me Mayu-chan, I'm a teacher at the local school and my students call me that. My family owns the store." Shiraki introduced herself.

"Okay Mayu-chan, what should I do first?" All that Levy needed to do was clean up, organize, and file some things in the store so she and Mayuko finished by nine. She got her reward and went to find a place to stay for the night. She found a considerately priced hotel and got settled before going out to eat dinner. After dinner, she took a shower and got in bed but stayed up thinking about what she would do the next day. Levy eventually drifted off to sleep.

LUCY POV

I really did miss the Sohmas. We left about a year after the Accident. Now, that was a time to forget. I was back though. I explained what happened to me and Mama when we left. Today would be the start of magic classes. Kisa and Hiro still had school so they would learn together during the weekends, Kyo and Tohru would learn together, Yuki and Haru along with Momiji, the Mabudachi Trio were obviously a group, Akito was with Kureno but Ritsu would come along sometimes with Lucy as the teacher. Sundays were off days, Mondays were Kyo and Tohru's days; Tuesdays were Yuki, Haru, and Momiji; Wednesdays were the Mabudachi Trio's, Thursdays were Akito, Kureno and Ritsu, if he could make it; Fridays were free days which meant that anyone could ask for help; and Kisa and Hiro learned on Saturdays. Knock, knock. All of them were there, this was a Sunday but I wanted to get the basic introduction with them all together so I wouldn't have to explain it over multiple times.

"Come in!" I called out. They obliged, I could see that they were all excited to learn magic, and I was excited to teach them. Learning magic was no easy feat and all of them were not children anymore so it would be even harder. Although, they all hold a bit of magic in their bodies to turn into animals (well, except for Tohru). They sat down. Hmm, they were being quiet. Shocker. "Alright, I said I was going to teach you magic and I am. Celestial mages always keep their word. But, I'm warning you now. Learning magic is not easy. And the fact that most of you are full grown adults?... Well, I'm just going to say that it is not going to be easy. You cannot slack. Do you hear me? If you don't want to learn then I suggest that you drop out now because this will take years. One year at the very- and I mean VERY- least." I know that I was being harsh, but I had to get my point through. And it worked, they all nodded furiously, I was satisfied.

"Good, since I don't feel like explaining this a hundred times, I'm going to tell you all at once. And only once. Magic comes from the one true magic. Some believe that magic is evil. But look at me, look at Fairy Tail, at Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, we are all good guilds. We may have one dark mage at one time but as a whole, we are good," I spoke thinking of Karen Lilica and Purehito, "You must promise to never, ever use your magic for evil and always protect the goodness and light," This is a very solemn promise and that was clear, nobody was smiling and everyone was nodding at my words, even Momiji.

"Alright, magic is part of you. It should be easier for you to grasp than other humans because we are not normal, we have magic within ourselves and use it to turn into animals. It will be easier to reach for us than it will be for Tohru, so Tohru? Don't become discouraged. Now, it may sound like I am contradicting myself, with all my talk about it being super hard but easier at the same time, but I don't know what is going to happen. Mama was a celestial mage and so she taught me celestial magic but I was a kid back then and had the celestial magic blood running through my veins. Not all of you will become celestial mages, maybe none of you. Your magic will all be different. Maybe some of you will be molding mages, re-equip mages, or script mages. Some of you will be caster mages and others holder mages. Each and every magic will come from your soul and it will be different. It will represent you and it will become a part of you, your best friend.

"I'm finished with the intro so now I'll introduce you to some of my spirits, not all of them, I don't have enough magic for that but you will meet all of them eventually." I took out my key ring. "These are my keys, I have ten Zodiac gates and five silver keys (AN: this is what Wiki says so please tell me if I'm wrong, thanks). Open, Gate to the Lion- Loke!" Loke appeared in a flash of light with his regular suit but his playboy smirk was gone and he waved in greeting. I had talked to him earlier and he said that all of my spirits are willing to help me teach my family magic - even Aquarius, which shocked me; I suppose that she just wants an excuse to beat me, but… "This is Loke. Leo the Lion, Leader of the western Zodiacs. He will help me mostly- I haven't been keeping up with my martial arts skills and I don't want to bother Kazuma-sensei so I asked Loke- but you'll see him from time to time. He is my most trusted spirit and friend. Thank you, Loke, you may return. Open, Gate to the Goat- Capricorn!"

Capricorn appeared, I could feel the drain on my magic increase but only by a little. Summoning Loke took the least amount of magic energy, he claims it's because "love make a spirit stronger" and so our bond was strong. As my trust and friendship grew with my spirits, the amount of magic the summoning consumed lessened. "Lucy-sama" Capricorn greeted me.

"Hey Capricorn! Everybody, this is Capricorn, he helped me to train my magic before and will help me teach you now. And some of you might recognize him, he was Mama's spirit before she passed away." I saw recognition flash on the older Sohma's faces; Kureno, Akito, Hatori, Ayame, and Shigure.

Who else should they meet today? Plue? Why not? "Capricorn? Thanks for your help!" I told him as he disappeared back into the spirit realm. "Open, Gate to the Canis Minor- Plue!" The little dog appeared and started his special "dance" and "puun-puun-ing" "Hey Plue. So, this is Plue, he isn't a fighting spirit or a spirit for defense, only a companion spirit. Still, he's my friend and he doesn't take up too much magic to summon." This time, I kept Plue in the Human world for a little longer as company. Phew, the lesson was finally over. "Alright, and this boring lesson is now over. Come back on your day or Friday. Doesn't matter what time, just come when you're free and everybody in your group is ready. C'mon, class dismissed!" The chatter started immediately as they left the room. I sighed, this was harder than I thought, I would have to be careful with my magic during the classes.

"Do you think I'm doing the right thing?" I looked down at Plue. I had sunken to the floor when they left.

"Puun puun!" Plue nodded.

"Thanks Plue. You can go back now." I needed to rest after calling out three spirits. I would need to train myself a lot. I sat there and continued reading my book but I had to get up and join the others for dinner. During dinner, I sat there quietly and listened to the conversations around me. Most of them were about the magic lesson. I smiled. After dinner, I went to sleep. I needed to recover my magic before lessons the next day.

Hey, sorry if I get some of the summons wrong. I know that this is a boring chapter too, sorry. Anyways, did anyone notice that Loke got cat ears? And you can't see if he still has human ears? OMG! It's so cute! Oh and who should I pair up Lucy with? Should it be Rogue? Or Sting? Or Haru? Orrr an OC? Or should she stay single? And that was Shigure at the bookstore, he was there while Levy was on her job but came back before the lesson so please don't kill me. The next chapter, Levy goes to visit Hibiki. Should they find out about the curse? And I hate to do this to you guys but I need help so I'm not going to post the next chapter until someone answers two questions. Seriously, sorry, but I need help with this!
