A Heart as Cold as Ice (A Gray Fullbuster love story)
Chapter 5: Natsu's back and he brought a new member?
It's been a week since Natsu left and the incident between Ayame and Gray at the hot springs. Both mages wouldn't dare to peek or even mutter a single word to each other and Mirajane was getting a little curious of their situation, like, when she brought up Gray to Ayame when they were having one of their daily chats, she would get up and walk away blushing madly.
The sun was high in the sky, the fire/water mage was sitting at her usual spot at one of the bar stools, talking to Mirajane until she left to serve guild members beer.
Wakaba then asked Mirajane if he'd be her next date, and then was scolded by other members that he needs to wait his turn. Suddenly, Mirajane turned into Wakaba's wife, which scared the crap out of him, but also making him complain to the amused Ayame and the others.
After the laughter died down, a sigh came out of the bored mage's mouth as she slammed her head down onto the counter making Mirajane jump up a bit from Ayame's sudden reaction.
"Ayame-chan, what's wrong?" Mirajane asked with a questioning yet calm and kind tone. "Are you feeling alright?"
"I'm fine Mira-san. I'm just bored," Ayame said with a giant sigh at the end of her short sentence.
"Why don't you talk to Gray, he's been pretty quiet lately which is pretty rare for him, don't you think?" Mirajane said tilting her head while giving the bored mage a small smile.
Ayame was stunned to hear her friend's words but before she could stutter a single word out, Natsu burst into the guild, then punched someone while muttering about some rumor being false. This sudden action made Ayame livid…very VERY annoyed at that.
She quickly got up from her seat and started to sprint to him at full speed. Right when he saw his fuming friend was running toward him, he knew it was too late…Far too late. He knew he was in major trouble with her since his GIGANTIC incident, more like mess, was in the newspaper, which Ayame reads every morning.
The fuming female then curled her right hand into a tight fist, and KO'd her salmon-haired friend, which resulted in a smashed wall and what once looked like a living thing. She came to a halt, and started to stride to Natsu leisurely. She clenched her fists, sparks started flying off until they became fiery-crimson flame, and brought her right hand up by her face.
Natsu, who was standing up by the support of the wall that Ayame punched him into, was terrified by his friend's expression. Her silver beady eyes glared at him and showed no hint of mercy.
She was now towering over him, threw her right arm back, and followed by impact, with the piece of shattered wall an inch by Natsu's head, making him shiver in fear.
"So Natsu, I heard you leveled half the harbor in Hargeon, is it true?" Ayame said with an aggravated tone while looking at Natsu with devil-like eyes, looking into his very soul.
"Ye-yes!"
"Your mission wasn't to destroy the stupid harbor! It was to get rid of the fraud that was using your name you moron!" she said, shaking the fire mage feverishly.
"NATSU!" Gray said while punching him in the face, out of Ayame's grasp. This made Ayame more than livid, she was going to fatally injure someone at this rate.
The fire and ice mage started their all-out fisticuffs and accidently punched, kicked, and knocked out random people, making them join in the fight, turning it into a bigger mess. Furniture was thrown at more people causing them to wreck the guild.
Ayame turned around, facing the crowd with a giant scowl on her face due to her frustration. Her fists were blazing white-hot fire; she began to shake from her anger.
"YOU STUPID IDIOTS! KNOCK IT OFF!" the infuriated mage shouted while running into the brawl, until she was stopped by the guild master, Makarov. He was in his tall, gigantic giant form, which hid his face in silhouette (making him scarier) and he screamed everyone to stop, they stopped, except Natsu, who said that he won the fight, but was sadly squashed by the guild master's foot. He then examined the guild members and he came across a new face.
"Well what do we have here?" Makarov said while looking at the nervous blonde newbie.
"Y-yes!" the Blondie stuttered to the guild master as he shrunk down to his original form. He then spun around and shot up to the second level's railing and sadly hit his back while trying to transfix him on the railing. "You fools, you've done it again! Look at these documents the council gave me!" he said while waving a giant stack of vanilla-white papers. He then started to name the guild members and what they did wrong on their jobs.
"Ayame! You broke half of the bones on your client's body during an escort mission, destroyed half of the town Senkoku and destroyed more than half of the Magic Council's building while taking down the entire dark guild, Dakurakushita!" he said furiously making a giant frown at her. Everyone in the guild was shocked that she defeated an entire dark guild by herself. It was either that the guild she defeated was weak or she was too powerful.
"WHAT! SHE TOOK DOWN AN ENTIRE DARK GUILD MY HERSELF!" Gray and Natsu shouted, looking at Ayame with their eyes so wide that they might just pop out of their sockets. She only nodded and said, "I'm an S-classed wizard, I can take on a lot of difficult jobs."
He started to name other wizards in the guild and all of them can tell that he was pretty mad about all of this.
"All of you... have done nothing but make the council mad at me!" he yelled throughout the guild, making all the members feel guilty.
"But...the Council can eat crap for all I care," he said while burning the documents in his and then throwing burning papers at Natsu, which he gladly caught and swallowed. "Listen! Ours is a power that goes beyond the bounds of reason. But it is born out of reason itself. Magic isn't some miracle, if you spend time worrying about what those in authority think of you, your magic will never advance! So don't let those idiots on the Council intimidate you!"
"Follow the path you truly believe in! That is what it means to be a Fairy Tail wizard!" Makarov shouted with pride in his voice, which made everyone cheer with joy.
Afterwards, everyone fixed the tables back to their original spots and threw out the broken furniture that was in the guild. Luckily, the bar wasn't destroyed, or broken, which made Ayame pretty relieved since that was usually her hang out spot which she usually talked with Mirajane. She returned to her bar stool once again, and sat down with a giant sigh and banged her head again on the table out of boredom.
"Ayame-chan! Can you get the Guild stamp behind the bar please?" Mirajane asked the bored mage.
"Why Mira-san?" she asked plainly. "Well, because Natsu brought back a new wizard here." she told her while the blonde girl behind Mirajane started to wave at her. She then got up from her seat, flipped over the bar and took the aging stamp that was in a drawer.
"Hey newbie, what color do you want?" Ayame yelled while looking at her with the same snake-like eyes. "Pink please!" she responded back making Ayame get the pink ink pad from the drawer. She started to come up to the newcomer and her best friend by the guild's door.
She came to a halt, and handed the stamp and pink ink pad to Mirajane. She looked at the newbie whose eyes were big with a giant smile, which made Ayame tilt her head.
"My name is Ayame, Ayame Takeshi. What's yours?" Ayame asked with a bored tone to the blonde woman who seemed thrilled to be talked to.
"My name is Lucy, nice to meet you! You and Mirajane were on the magazine Weekly Sorcerer!" she said with hearts in her eyes, which made both Ayame and Mirajane chuckle. "I admire both of you! You're not only beautiful, but strong, the perfect role models!"
"Well first, if you want to become a Fairy Tail member, you'll need its mark somewhere on your body to show proof that your one of us." Ayame told Lucy, making her snap out of her fantasy world.
"Right," Lucy responded back cheerfully, making Ayame smirk. "Is it ok if I can get in on my right hand?"
"You heard the newbie Mira-san," Ayame told Mirajane, which she only smiled and stamped Lucy's right hand as asked.
"You're now an official Fairy Tail member," both Mirajane and Ayame grinned as they welcomed her.
They smiled, making Lucy's face erupt into a big grin.
