Sorry to the people who have been waiting for an update T_T school has blown up in my face and every time I try to produce more words it was only ten or nine but finally I got my mark of 2,000 words.
Disclaimer~Hiro Mashima writes Fairy Tail btw, don't see why he'd be on Fanfiction sight anyway O.o
Things were growing tense between me and Nashi, we weren't speaking as per usual, not that we could stand each other in the first place…but this-this is different and it is starting to remind me of what happened with Mika-crap.
Not again, I slump, Mika Fullbuster. Memories invaded my mind during my two year training course, Mika my younger sister has a little bit of a shy personality, I tried not to be to harsh on her considering she is the polar opposite of our mother who is bold and both very out going, where as Mika tends to linger on her own, a bit like Gale except the two of them don't contrast each other well since they're too alike.
But Mika, during those training years, she was…weak.
Of course dad was never hard on her he considered her better than ice, she said if it weren't for the deep blue eyes of our mother she would be the womanly version of him, then dad would laugh and say, "I know what it feels like to be a woman…gets kinda stuffy and your back is sore!"
I tried to find out the details of such a tragedy but he shook his head and left me with unanswered questions, I mean…my dad was a chick, that's pretty cool. I wonder who…
"Lucy…"
I stare over towards Nashi.
"Huh?"
"Love and Lucky-its missing the k?" she wondered out loud. I stared up at the sign and saw that she was right, and it was strange, because I had seen this once before.
"That's like that branch store in Acalypha Town-its slightly less run down than this place. Why whats up?"
"It reminds me of my mother is all," ahh Mrs Dragneel.
Lucy is quite fond of all the children of the guild, probably from having current practice with her childish husband. She's amazingly beautiful like most women in Fairy Tail are-the deep recesses in my mind reminded me that this also meant Nashi as one of the everyone-and if it weren't for me maturing into my adolescence I doubt Lucy Heartfellia would find that me harbouring a crush for her daughter during my first puberty stages would not find that in the less entertaining-oh geez what am I saying!
So after the training and distance between me and Nashi I fell out of my social graces and embraced my fathers gift of mold-magic I soon grew into a life where the only thing I need in this world is Fairy Tail, because it is my home.
But me and Mika shared a different view on that concept, Mika has a wandering heart- she doesn't quite have the same power as mother or father-she does however possess a powerful talent, I rely on my strength to keep Fairy Tail safe. Mika however, disregards her magic to see it as a weakness. She intends that Fairy Tail be a peaceful place, to coexist with no search of adventure…the very principles Mavis Vermillion had built our sanctuary upon.
So we distanced ourselves because of the disagreement and have not spoken to each other other, sometimes in a casual encounter at home where we awkwardly nod exchange a "Hi," before leading ourselves away again-I'm doubtful that my father takes notice since he hasn't mentioned it nor is he smart enough to actually figure it out, Mom however…now I am no exception to my mother's story and how she had become so achingly obsessed with dad before we were born and it makes me tremble at the thought of seeing my mother cling onto my father since I have never seen my mother as anything other than loving, caring and compassionate. Not deluded, harassing and all over someone she is not today-but I can't help but love her. So why hasn't she noticed the rift between me and my sister? Is it because she refuses to believe it or is she just that incompetent as well?
Suddenly I felt my arm being tugged, Nashi was dragging me quickly towards a market place. Great...shopping.
When we finally finished the tormenting walk around the square me and Nashi were however arguing, "It was blue!"
"No. Green!"
"Blue!"
"Green!"
"You're ugly," she defended.
"You smell!" My pathetic comeback.
"That comeback sucked," she walked straight into this one…
"So is your Dragon Slayer skills."
Suddenly I stiffened when her fringe fell forward hiding an emotion in her eyes, even though it was tremendously obvious about which emotion she is feeling, and that is…anger.
"What. Did. You. Say?" I hid away from how hardened her voice sounded, I made a conscious decision to keep a hand safely by my crotch area.
"You heard me…" suddenly her skirt flared out majestically as she stood me on face to face.
"I want you to repeat it," I don't feel in the least threatened, but this girl is known for holding grudges and I am not particularly fond of sleeping outside the door.
"I won't stop acting like a child, that dress was obviously green," she was still staring at me furiously but the squandering audience we were starting to gather around us were beginning to back away, and was even frightful as they stared at Nashi's right hand, as not to gather more attention I clasped and her hand covering the mark before rushing the both of us into a near by ally way propping her against the wall.
"For once idiot, stop creating scenes every time we have a disagreement,"
"Don't you dare blame me, you provoked me!" I cover her lips with the palm of my hand.
"Okay I get it, I take responsibility blah, blah and blah. Let's just get this over and down wit-"
"Hey, you got your ear pierced…"
I was rushed back with the urge that my new cross earring did weigh down the right side of my ear and that I was supposed to show it to Nashi yesterday.
Slightly bashful I grinned, "Do you like it? Gajeel pierced it for me," however with a forceful revenge a memory of Gajeel allegedly assaulting me with an evil smirk as he stabbed my ear with no sense of mercy plagued my thoughts once again.
Nashi only stared.
When I reached out I accidentally brushed my fingertips with hers, "Hello, anybody home?"
She shook her head quickly before giving me one of those cheesy grins that mirror her father exactly, "Sorry-it looks great sorry I didn't notice it before," that was oddly thoughtful of her-weird.
I rubbed the back of my neck cautiously, "Ah no problem it isn't much of a big deal anyway my dad had got me a matching cross to the one of his necklace,"
Nashi smiled, "Sometimes I wear dad's scarf but I feel like he's lost without it so I only wear it when it's cold."
Our families memorabilia are embraced by us, we aren't so heartless to notice our families history in wizardry and with the people they considered parents.
My fathers necklace was given to him by Ur, his teacher, the woman he considered family before Fairy Tail. Nashi's dad the famous Natsu Dragneel was given his scarf by Igneel the Fire Dragon King...yeah that scarf has got to be worth something.
I pulled Nashi out of the alley way as we headed towards the training camp where matches are scheduled.
"Okay we have four matches," I watched her eyebrows furrow in concentration.
"Got it," she said seriously.
"Okay try to use your magic at a minimum try and rub it in their faces that we are also educated in hand to hand combat," she nodded along.
I reached into my pocket, "Here, take this," I grabbed the matches from my pocket.
"I have my ow-"
"Just precautions Baby Girl," I watched for a reaction hopeful for the one that showed me her interest.
She turned pink, nearly as pink as her hair, well if that isn't indicating enough.
I leaned down pressing my lips to her ear, "you know...I think Flamebrain is overrated I'll start calling you Baby Girl from now on," I could see she was struggling to hold her composure, sure I'm bad at holding my own but the mixture of her woodsy scent clung to my nose causing her to be even more irresistible.
And she looks even better with that outfit on.
I'm trying to match that.
"Storm..." Her voice was breathless, "what are you doing?"
I shrugged, "Just wishing my partner luck," I continued to breathe down her neck as she had intended to escape, but by circling my arms around her waist made such escape impossible.
"A Stripper giving me luck, yeah I'm sure that will be very helpful."
My grin only widened.
"Well aren't you going to wish me any luck?"
"Break a leg," I chuckled allowing her to pull away.
She put at least four metres between us.
"This isn't a theatrical performance Baby Girl."
"Oh it isn't? Then how about? I hope it works out," suddenly I felt a change in mood, maybe I too get annoyed with my own mood swings-but hey, any insult on my fighting skills-I'm not going to take the hit.
"What's with the uncertainty?"
She shook her head, "I didn't hear any uncertainty."
"I'll show you why there shouldn't be any uncertainty," her smile highlighted her face.
I faltered for just a second.
She challenged me and we began to stumble back towards each other, her lighting a match.
Our fists collided on point with impact, "is that all you got Baby Girl? Should I perhaps worry about you?"
She growled tossing my fist off guard, "Stupid Snowball," oh names huh?
"Baby Girl..."
"Elsa impersonator!" Her voice raised a pitch showing how flustered she's becoming.
"Baby Girl..."
"Slushi Maker!" This is quite entertaining.
"Baby Girl," surprisingly for the place we were, there was nobody around.
"Naked Ice Cone!"
"Baby Gir-" a voice from behind interrupted us. Okay I won't assume this is an empty place ever again.
"Are you two the Fairy Tail wizards we requested?" He seemed familiar...where?
"Yes, I'm Storm Fullbuster and this Nashi Dragneel."
He stiffly nodded giving off a negative vibe before pushing us to follow him.
We trailed behind him as he pulled a curtain out.
"There are four tents each have a fighter inside test your luck if you Fairy guys are the real deal don't let us powerless humans stop you."
Definitely not a good guy-maybe I should have thought of that after I saw the cult like cloak and dark black clouds surrounding him.
We made our way over to one of the four tents, I took a step in.
Suddenly a force surrounded me and it pushed Nashi out...it wasn't magic, or natural.
Crack! A flimsy body immersed from the dark that the tent is shrouded in.
He was lanky, like really lanky, his body almost non-existent.
Like a shadow.
"Storm watch out!" Nashi screeched.
Thanks to her warning I watched as the figure lunged over my head and at the tent opening, for a split second I panicked...Nashi.
But the man was forced back.
So it is a forcefield.
But it's meant to keep the both of us in...until only one of us can leave.
"Duck!"
It had to be a good hour before the shadow like man finally gained the upper hand...and he took advantage of the moment. Beating me to the point of exhaustion he had me against the forcefield where Nashi was watching helplessly.
"Dammit Storm tag me in!" About half an hour before Nashi found that she could reach her hand in...so this is like a tag in and out battle.
"No!"
"Why?! Tell me why!"
"Because I shouldn't have underestimated these guys so I won't let them hurt you,"
"I can handle it,"
"It's not just that!" I stared at the ominous figure, "these aren't just regular soldiers. These are Princess Sakura's men, the guy from before is her escort I should've recognised him but I only met him in passing. I'm not going to let them hurt you because I humiliated her by rejecting the offer to be her prince."
Nashi shook her head in frustration as I tried to block his attacks, "why did you reject her, idiot?"
I grabbed the guy's arm forcefully pulling back crushing his nose to the ground with my foot.
"Because I don't want her..."
Princess Sakura heir to the throne of Fiore daughter of Queen Hisui and Arcadios...she's definitely attractive but nowhere near as entertaining as Nashi.
"I want you dammit! I'll kick this guys ass all day if I have to prove it to you..." Maybe just a little of my mothers side comes out of me sometimes.
"I am going to go and find her!" Natsu declared, Lucy on the other hand was nursing their child to sleep.
"No you will not! Did you forget your other daughter developed Dragon Slayer magic I can't handle the house on fire so you are staying here…" Natsu began to pout.
"But Lushi…"
"Don't Lushi me, I hate getting Wendy to heal me from burns-"
"That won't be a problem, Lucy, I will stay with you," Juvia and Gray appeared at the couples side. Julia having her water magic would indeed be useful.
Natsu stared at Gray, "Storm?"
"Yeah, I looked at the mission that Laxus gave to them, there is no training camp in Haregon any more-remember Daniel Straight?" Lucy certainly did as she blushed profusely, while Natsu nodded, "Well he said they moved away after the Royal Family brought that land…and my son had been rude to Princess Sakura earlier this week-I think this is more than a coincidence, I'm going, are you coming?"
Natsu didn't hesitate to nod.
"Let's go…"
"Wait-we'll bring Mika, she could be useful-" Natsu nodded, he knew exactly what Mika was capable of if the need arises.
