I honestly have no notes for this. Wow.

Hiro Mashima owns Fairy Tail. . .which I guess is sorta obvious. Heh.

Ria POV

As my brothers dragged me back to Fairy Tail, I really could only think one thing;"how did he know who I was?!" It didn't make any sense, considering the only people who should have known about my. . .friend. . . were my guildmates. Some of the other guilds knew as well, but only because they had worked with my family, and needed to know not to kill. . .her. . .if she ever actually managed to overtake me. But that still didn't answer my question.

When we reached the guildhall, I ran inisde intent on talking with some of the older members, maybe they had knoledge of the cloaked Darkness magic user, it wouldn't hurt to ask. But, before I could get ten steps in, a body slammed into me, knocking me aside. "Hey whatch who you're hitt-ehh!" I looked on as a particularly large table fell where I had been standing not a moment before.

"The least you could say is thank you." A blue gloved hand reached down to me, long fingers extented."After all, I did just save your life." The blue and was attached to a long tan arm, which led to a grey vest with silver fur, above which aqua eyes glowed.

"Now, Masaru, I know you want to be the one to beat me up, but that will never happen. And if you can't do it, why do you think a table is going to affect me in any way?" I smirked back to his glare, but still took his hand and brushed off my clothes, paying special attention to my favored coat. "And besides, what is the son of the master of Sabertooth doing in Fairy Tail?"

He crossed his arms over his blue midriff shirt, and for the fisrt time, I noticed how well defined the guy was getting. He and his adoptive brother were onl a year older, but both were getting a lot of attention from girls. It must have helped that Masaru wore a skin tight shirt, vest, and baggy, yet stylish and matching, pants. The guy was walking eye-candy, who just so happened to be a powerful Dragon Slayer, the asshole.

"I'm only here because Takaji wanted to visit Amy." Ahh, that made sense. Ever since the Grand Magic Games of the year of the Dragon Attack, Fairy Tail and Sabertooth had met up once in July every year, so we all knew eachother pretty well. I had onl been going for the past seven years, but it was still nice. Takaji, the son of Rouge Cheney, had taken a liking to my best friend and often sought her out.
This, sadly, was not his first time seeking her at the guild.

"Doesn't he know that she doesn't return his feelings?" I asked, because she didn't, and this was annoying.

"Oh, I don't know. But for know i'm content to not tell him."

"Why?!" I nearly slapped him, who the heck would let their family not know?

Masaru brushed me off, simply stating "Takaji will figure it out eventually, and untill then we'll keep coming here, and I'll keep getting to bother you."

"Urgh!" I made a strangleig motion with my hands, but didn't attack, considering my father's scent had just entered the hall. "Fine. But right now, I have bar duty, see ya." And I headed over to work.

Masaru POV

Most would think that a fourteen year old working at a guild bar was pretty weird, but not those of Fairy Tail and Sabertooth, whenever we got together she, her mother, and her aunt always manned it. The custom was just natural.

Besides, at least to me, Ria always seemed older than fourteen. Not in a bad way, honestly she was perfect for her age in looks, but in her fiesty personality. It sometimes spoke of older things, like times that not even her great grandfather Makarov had seen.
This, of course, just made it all the more fun to bug her, which was actually exactly why I was at that particular guild that day. I was lying when I had said Takaji dragged me there, no he knew that Amy was gone, the good little stalker.

So, after learning of Ria's team finishing a job in Oaktown, I walked to her guild, intent on getting some form of fight out of the lightning dragon girl.

Which was why I was now sitting at the bar, drinking a chocolate banana milkshake, and complaining about said milkshake, which was absolutely wonderful. "Seriously, girly! Last July I even taught you this recipe and watched until you had it down, and you still can't make a decent milkshake? What the hell is wrong with you?"

She grew frustrated, and started flicking her ponytail out of her eyes, the first sign of anger. "Yes, yes you did, but how long has it been scince you ordered one from me? Two, no, three months! Maybe my methods for making them changed, ever think of that jerk?!"

"Ria," her mother called form the other end of the bar as she washed a cup, "language."

"B-but. . .fine!" A boy with pink hair, Nashio, yelled for a refil on his strawberry smoothie, and her attention was drawn. Perfect for me to 'try' and slip away. Of course, she caught me and started yelling about me not paying, to which I responded "I've already paid, by having to put up with you and your things you call milkshakes." The air around RIa crackled once, and she shot at me like a bullet, or rather, a shot of lightning.

We connected with a wall, went through it, and ended up in the pool area. I kicked the rabid girl off my chest, and tossed her into the water. She of course screamed at me, and tried to use her lightning magic, which only short circited her. Ria was thrown into the middle of the water, where she started to sink.

"Ria!" Someone yelled, and a boy with scarlett hair dived in, and dragged her out. Her crystal eyes glared at me, showing that she wasn't fully out, or happy with being defeated. Looking into those blue orbs, I thought I saw them turn to flame, but they closed the same second. We all knew of Phoeinx, I had only seen her once though, right after Ria had fallen off a beachside cliff and lost her life.

I backed away, and smirked. I was safe, and I was victorious. Perfect ending to the long day.

Suddenly, a dark gloved hand closed around my shoulder, and turned me around. I stood facing non other than Gajeel Redfox, the godfather of Takaji. He was galrig at me, and f it weren' for my better hearing, I would've missed the oncoming threat. "Don't count yourself lucky kid. Her old man's not the master for nothing, and he don't like people messing with his daughter. Now, I'm fond of your friend, but you? Not at all. So, stick around a while." His grin grew wild, and i knew it wasn't a suggestion.

I gulped, and slightly regretted beating up the Fairy Tail mage. Slightly.

Ria POV (she's dry)

Needless to say, Masaru didn't walk home that day, or even that week. He was too busy recovering from my family. Me however, once I had dried off, I sat in a corner of the guild, my mind already gone back to the previous threat. While working, I had made some theories about the cloaked man, and was ready to explore them. "We do not need them," a voice spoke in my head, "we can simply destroy those who get in the way. Like I nearly did today wehn you were unconcious." The eagerness in her words frightened me, and I nearly rammed my head into the table, bt that would only have made my head hurt worse. The moment of that indecision, was of course, when my brothers had to find me.

"Hey, sis?" Roku's voice broke my tangled thoughts.

"Yeah?"

"Why are you being quiet?" His grey eye's were sceptical.

"Ehh!? What the heck do you mean?"

"Well," he gestured outside, and we followed, me confused, "mostly if Masaru gets a vistory over you in a fight, you scream for a minute, then go back to work as if nothing happened. Now you're just sitting in a corner alone. Something's wrong."

"Nothing's wrong!" I crossed my arms and played with my ponytail, "I've just got a lot on my mind, okay! Marasu just picked a bad day to fight me on." That was true, but I would never mention her in front of them.

"But, sis-" Makarov started, but I cut him off.

"Mavis, you're almost as annoying as Phoenix! And she's in my head!"

Both my brothers looked at me, schocked into speachlessness. I stepped back, shocked at what I realized they heard. I didn't mean that, I couldn't have. But. . .did I? A slight breese ruffled the orange rim of my coat, and I ran with it, running from them, and past the ones who had come up behind us, hearing my raised voice. Jerlac reached out for me, but I brushed him off, and threw my body forward with lightning.

This time, I needed my answers before I needed my family.

Okay, weird chapter, but I think it's nice. Also it was rushed, especially at the end, because I wanted it to be finished.

So, we got to see some of Phoeinx, and our wonderful Sabertooth characters. Yes, I did make Rouge's son kinda like Juvia, but hey! He's my character.

Also: character meanings:

Ria; lighting (obvious)

Masaru; victory (thought he could have a slight obsession with it *shrug*)

F,F,&R! Please.

Bye!
