Chapter 7:

Ashkar's POV:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I was so stupid! How could I lose my cool in front of the entire guildhall?! I almost used part of my magic power! UUGGGHHH! I really have to learn to keep my temper in check. I got my guildmark in black on my shoulder blade. It was exactly where I had gotten it the first time I had come to Fairy Tail. Now I had to find a place to stay for the next two months. I couldn't just keep living on the streets for the time being. Then I saw an apartment complex on Strawberry Street. I went in there and talked to the landlady. She said the rent cost 70,000 jewel per month. Thank god I had more than that with me at the moment. I paid her for two months and went into my new apartment. It was quite spacy. There was no point in buying stuff if I'm only gonna be here for two months. I won't even be in the place all the time. It was only afternoon so after I put all my stuff down I went out to get something for lunch. As I walked out the door I ran into none other than Lucy. She asked if I was going out for lunch and I said that I was. She then told me that she would treat me to lunch since I was new to Magnolia. We were going to go to 8-Island but I thought it was too far. So Lucy decided that we would go to the guild and eat. When we went inside everyone stopped and stared at me as if I had come from another planet. I was just about to turn around and find another place to eat but Lucy dragged me towards the bar. Natsu, Gray, Erza and Happy were all there talking to each other. Lucy called out to them and they all turned to look at us. Erza's eyes widened when she saw me. A first I wondered why but then I realized that she wasn't there when I had first been introduced. It took all my self control to not run out of there at the sight of my former friend. While Natsu had been my best friend that was a boy Erza had been my best friend that was a girl. She came running towards me and I felt my head being banged into a metal breastplate. Ow!

" Ashkar! You came back after all these years." Again I had to pretend that I didn't know who that was. I told her,

" I'm sorry but I'm not Ashkar. My name is Nakar Kamashura. It's nice to meet you."

She let go of me immediately.

" I'm sorry. You just looked like someone very dear to me."

" I get that a lot." I laughed humorlessly. I headed towards the the bar where Lucy had already taken a seat between Gray and Natsu. When I sat down Lucy asked what I wanted as she would pay for me. I told her I would have some pancakes with syrup and a cup of hot chocolate. She just nodded and told Mira my order. Once it had been taken Lucy turned to me and we started up a friendly conversation. When I asked how she came to Fairy Tail she told me Natsu had saved her from a guy named Bora. He then brought her here and she was now on Team Natsu along with Erza and Gray. I also asked her who her best friend was. She told me that her best friend that was a girl was Levy but her best friend that was a boy was Natsu.

When I heard that my fists automatically clenched up. I became ridged but I forced myself to relax. I should be happy for him. He found a new best friend after I left the guild. She then asked me who my best friends were. I told her that I never had any best friends. I asked what type of magic she used she told me that she used a holder type magic called Celestial Spirit Magic. When she asked me what type of magic I used I tense up again. I told her that I use combat magic. Just then Mira came back with my pancakes so I was spared from having to go into further details about my magic. As I scarfed down my food, I noticed that Gray was staring at me. I raised my eyebrow at him and asked him,

" What are you staring at?" He quickly shook his head and turned around and faced the other way. That's when I saw a blue haired girl that I didn't know come towards him screaming

"GRAY-SAMA!" I wondered who the heck she was and why she was obsessed with Gray. I felt jealously rise but I quickly smothered it down. After I finished eating I thanked Mira and Lucy for paying for my food. As I went to exit the guildhall I heard Natsu call out to me and ask me how good my magic abilities were. I decided to tell him the truth. I said,

" This entire guild could face me and I would still be able to stand." As I turned around to leave I felt a hand on my arm preventing me from leaving. I looked behind me and saw Natsu had grabbed my arm.

"In that case, I challenge you to a fight. You can choose who you want to fight besides me." All I said was,

" Sure." I pointed Natsu, Erza, Gray, Laxus, Mira, Elfman, the woman with the blue hair whose name I later found out was Juvia, a burly looking guy in the back of the guild with long black hair, Lucy, Lisanna, Bickslow, Evergreen and finally Freed.

" I will fight everyone that I pointed at. If anyone else wants to fight you are free to join. The match will be held tomorrow at 11:00 in the morning." Everyone looked at me as if I was crazy but I just shrugged and headed out of the guild. I had better things to do than just sit around the guild hall. I had to get started on finding my mother.

Guild's POV:

" IS THAT GIRL FREAKING CRAZY?! SHE'S TAKING ON THREE S-CLASS MAGES AND THREE DRAGON SLAYERS! THAT GIRL IS GOING TO DIE FOR SURE!"

Makarov's POV:

I just smiled and laughed to myself when I heard her say those words. " That might be a little too easy for you Ashkar. These guys think you can't do it but you're obviously going to prove them wrong. Just make sure you don't go overboard." Laxus noticed my smile and asked,

" What're you smiling about old man?" I just shook my head and went inside my office.
