A/N: Here's Chapter two.

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. Only Jade Blueshepherd and Crystal.

Chapter Two

Jade woke up to the sound of a loud knock. "Ugh, who the hell is it?!" she screamed getting out of bed. She wasn't really a morning person. Crystal, who had been meditating, jumped when Jade yelled.

Jade opened the door to see Gajeel and Gray standing at the door. Mm, that's a strange pairing, she thought.

"Ooh, you look like hell." Gajeel scoffed. She could hear Crystal chuckle in the room.

"Look I don't have time for your bull, so if you're here to fuck around, I got some other things to do!" Jade retorted. She began to close the door when Gray stopped it with his foot.

"Master wants to speak with you." Gray said. Jade opened the door wider. "It sounded important."

"I'll be there no later than 20 minutes." Jade replied. Gray nodded and walked off.

"And knowing that you don't need two messengers, Gajeel I'll fight your sorry ass when I'm done talking with Master." She knew that was the only reason he was there.

"Gee hee, I look forward to seeing you trying, Beast." He replied. Jade closed the door and started getting dress into her day clothes.

"What do you think Master wants?" she asked.

The cat stood up and shrugged. "I don't know, but I think gonna take Lily up on that offer to fight. I've been getting a little rusty." Jade shrugged too, and then got her stuff together.

Soon, the girls checked out the hotel and were on their way to the guild.

I walked into Master Makarov's little office and took a seat. "You wanted to see me, sir."

"Yes I did. We need to talk a bit about you being a part of Fairy Tail. Do you wish to stay here only to because of Natsu's debt or are you going to truly be a member of this guild?" he said getting quick to the point.

I wasn't really surprise by the question, "I plan on staying in Fairy Tail as a dedicated member, sir."

"Mmhm, I'm glad to hear that. Now understand, I know about your history of going back n' forth with guilds doing partner jobs for only one mission. It seemed like you only took it was a job and not like you had connection with your employers," he took a pause. "We will not be having any of that will we, Miss Blueshepherd?" Master asked in a serious tone.

"You have my complete loyalty, Master Makarov. I will do anything in my power to protect my guild and my fellow guild members." I reassured.

Master nodded, "I trust you. You may go."

"Thank you, sir." I called as I walked out the room.

I found my way to the bar and sat down. Gajeel pounded his fist on the counter. "Beast now!" he shouted.

"Damn it! You're still persistent as ever. Can I eat first?" I replied.

"No, fight me now!" he shouted back.

I stood up. "Hey Crystal," I said getting the cat's attention. "You got any knives?" Crystal sighed and threw me five knives from wherever she kept her weapons. I caught 'em with my mouth and began munching on them. In about a minute, I was done. "Alright Kurogane, let's fight."

Everyone in the entire guild moved outside to watch Jade and Gajeel fight. It was even more rare that Gildarts and Laxus had been there to see the fight themselves. It seems Laxus just wanted to see an actual Lightning Dragon Slayer at work.

"Lucy, this gonna be good fight, right?" Natsu asked me.

"Yeah it is. I really want to know who's gonna win. Are you excited?" I answered.

"I'm fired up. Jade might be strong, but Gajeel's a Fairy Tail wizard. He can't win." Natsu responded.

"Natsu, Jade is a part of Fairy Tail too, but I think I know what you mean." I replied scratching my cheek.

"And I'm telling you Jade is going to win!" Crystal shouted at Lily.

"Gajeel is strong; he's fighting for the honor of Metalicana. He can't lose." Lily argued.

"Jade is fighting for Minitacia's honor, too. I'll give Gajeel credit. This isn't gonna be a walk in the park for Jade, but she's gonna win." Crystal told. The two Exceeds began to argue again.

"Hey, looks like they're gonna started!" someone shouted from the crowd.

"Looks like we brought about a crowd," Jade said looking at her opponent cheerfully.

"Whatever, these weirdoes are always in the mood for a fight." Gajeel replied.

"Then let's give them what they want." Jade smirked.

"What minerals are you gonna use today?" the red-eyed man questioned.

"Today will be diamonds and copper. It doesn't seem like I won't be needing to use lightning today." Jade answered.

"Are you belittling me, Beast?" Gajeel asked obviously getting pissed.

Jade snickered, "Oh my bad, I didn't know you wanted me to go all out. I'm sorry if you get hospitalized. I'll try not to go crazy."

"Back at you, you ready to lose?" Gajeel answered.

"You make the first move, Kurogane." Jade responded.

Suddenly, Jade was struck with Iron Fist, Club, and finally Roar. She landed on the ground. Everyone, including me, thought she was done for until we heard a gasp from Crystal.

"Jade it's not that serious don't do it!" everyone turned to see what she was talking about.

"What is she going to do? It looks like she took a lot of bad hits." Lily stated.

"Jade only takes hits when she's going to unleash a secret technique. I hope this isn't going to end tragic for Gajeel." Crystal explained. Everyone turned to what was going to happen.

Jade got up laughing, "Kurogane, I'm so proud! You've gotten a lot better at the combo attacks. I actually felt the Iron Dragon's Roar, but enough talk. It's my turn." Everyone gasped as they saw the girl get up only revealing a few scratches on the cheek.

Instantly, a blue lightning bolt came from under Jade's feet. "I've think you've forgotten what happens when I take people's hits. I return them 10 times stronger." A little shock came on Gajeel's face like he remembered what Jade said to be true.

"Secret Magic Fusion technique: Molten Roar of the double element beast," Jade screamed. With a hand cupping around her mouth, Jade blew molten copper out of her mouth and ended up covering all of Gajeel's body and hardening.

"Gajeel!" cried some people in the crowd. People stood thinking that Gajeel was done for, but Jade still stood as if she knew this battle wasn't over.

"Gajeel don't fool these people any longer, get out of there." Jade yelled at the figure.

"Gee hee, you ruin all the fun." Gajeel voice said from the hardened figure. A fist scales broke out through the crust coated body.

"Back at you, why couldn't take it like a man. How would you like it if I coated myself in diamond scales all the time?!" Jade shouted as Gajeel broke free from the harden molten copper revealing to everyone that he covered himself in iron scales. The two chuckled as they heard the crowd sighed.

"Whatever, let's continue this." Gajeel replied jumping high into the air.

"Ooh, I love mid-air battles!" Jade cheered following her opponent into the air. They started punching and kicking each other.

"Why are they doing hand-on-hand combat?" Wendy asked not taking her eyes off the fight.

"They're both very powerful, but they need to save some of their magic especially, after the attacks and hits they just took. I think they'll regain their magic soon, though." Erza answered.

They kept on fist fighting until they ended up punching each other on the face sending the other back to the ground. When they landed, Gajeel and Jade looked evenly beaten up, but continue to fight.

"Roar of the Iron Dragon,!" Gajeel said inhaling.

"Roar of the Lightning Dragon,!" Jade said inhaling too.

The roars clashed going back and forth with which one was over powering the other, soon, the two stopped blowing out in exhaustion.

"Damn it, why can't you just accept defeat?" Gajeel asked wobbling.

"You know why, I don't like to lose. Besides, I can't let you walk over Minitacia, either." Jade answered wobbling as well.

"Ya know what, let's forget all this bull. That whole business has nothing to do with us. I promise to never bring it up, truce?" Gajeel answered holding his hand struggling to walk closer to Jade.

Jade began to walk, meeting him half way. She took his hand, "Truce." Suddenly, the two collapsed on their back landing side by side. The guild was shocked by the unexpected draw. When Natsu, Levy, Gray, Erza, Wendy, Master, the Exceeds, and I got over to them, the other two dragon slayers seemed to have started to argue.

"Woo! What a fight! Ya know Gajeel, I would have won if I didn't start off with the secret technique." Jade said laughing.

"Whatever, I would have beaten you if I didn't take that mission yesterday. I'll win next time." He answered smiling.

"And I'll be there to prove you wrong." Jade replied. The two chuckled like the old friends they are.

Carla sighed "What are we gonna do with you two?"

"I'll go get some bandages to your wounds." Wendy said running off after she examined them as they talked.

"I guess it's a dragon slayer thing to be like this." Erza shrugged.

"Jade you need to hurry up and heal 'cause I'm gonna fight you next!" Natsu exclaimed pointing at himself.

"Awesome, you're on Salamander." Jade accepted with a big grin.

"Wait, so if Jade and Gajeel had a draw, does this mean that Natsu can beat Jade? I mean, Gajeel did lose to Natsu that one time." I questioned.

"Hey, don't belittle me Blondie! I just haven't regain all my strength from all the jobs I've done." Jade furiously protested.

"Exactly Bunny-girl, I don't recall you ever being able to fight a strong opponent." Gajeel snapped at me. I lowered my head in shame.

"There's no need to get rude with people now." Gray said randomly having his shirt off. So the rumors of an ice mage with a stripping habit are true, Jade thought.

"You lost…" Crystal whispered at Jade.

"I can't believe you would lose..." Lily said to Gajeel.

"Well, technically no one lost or won. It was a draw." Jade explained.

"We lost…" Crystal started. "… all that money" Lily finished.

"What did you two end up doing?" Gajeel asked.

"We made a bet with Happy about who would win. He said it would be a draw. We gambled 50,000 jewels each." Lily explained.

"Happy, you don't even have that kind of money." Natsu said.

"I know." Happy confessed.

"Crystal where did you get that money from?" Jade asked seeming a little upset.

"I was saving up to buy a sword." She quietly answered.

"Well, I'll look at it this way; Natsu now only has the other half to give." Jade replied trying to lighten her mood. Happy nodded as if that was his plan.

"I'm just glad that you guys didn't kill each other; it was a good fight." Levy complimented shyly. She was mainly looking at Gajeel.

"Thanks shrimp," Gajeel answered. Jade chuckled at their innocence. Levy and Erza helped him up while Gray and I helped Jade up.

Gray helped Jade and Erza helped Gajeel back inside. Crystal and Lily followed.

"That was a good fight, right Lucy?" Natsu asked.

"Yeah," was all I could get out. Dragon slayers are scary, I thought as I followed Natsu to the guild.

"What will I do with you children?" Master muttered heading to the guild.

"Ow!" I cried as Wendy tightened the bandage that was around my arm.

"I'm sorry," she quickly said.

"Ugh, it's alright. It has nothing to do with you." I responded.

"Ha, you were such a cry baby when it came to getting medical help." Gajeel snickered sitting next to me on a bench.

I glared at him. "You shouldn't be talking. I recall an incident that happened while we were at the clinic after we raided Maplewood village."

"Don't bring that up!" Gajeel shouted as Mirajane put some ointment on his cheek.

"Exactly, I remember things from the past too ya know? If you don't share my secrets, I won't share yours." I said.

Gajeel thought for a moment. "Wait a second! You look exactly the same from the last time I saw you! That was about seven years ago! What did you get yourself into?!"

I sighed at his slowness. "About the same time you and your friends where caught up in the Tenrou Island incident, Crystal and I had been hired to find a time key by the Royals themselves."

"Did that key have anything to do with the Eclipse Plan?" Wendy asked.

I shrugged. "Probably, they didn't tell us that much information. We ended up getting caught in time itself as we approached the alter where the key was been being held. We were asleep for seven years too. I think we woke up a week or two after you guys returned."

"You're always biting too much to chew for your own good. That's how you live." Gajeel responded.

"You can be the same sometimes, Gajeel." Master said walking in the room.

"Master!" Mira perked.

"Sorry to intrude, I was just checking up on you two. So you tried to mess with time, Jade?" Master said.

I slouched on the bench. "I guess you can say it like that. I had a habit of accepting jobs with big pay, but not thinking about the consequences of those around me. I really got it this time."

Master nodded, "As long as you learned the lesson, there isn't that much harmed done. On the bright side, the kingdom didn't get their hands on it." I smiled at his comment.

"Alright Gajeel, you are free to go. You too Master; Wendy and I have to tend to Jade's chest wounds." Mira piped up.

"It's okay Mira. I have no shame." I shrugged. Gajeel muttered something about me being older now and grunted as he got up and walked out the room.

"Well, our Master is a little difficult about these things." Mira protested, stretching on difficult. Master followed closing the door behind him. I swear he looked a little disappointed by getting kicked.

I took off my shirt and undershirt revealing a few scratches. "It looks like you didn't take as much damage as Gajeel did. By any chance do you have a protection spell on you? You did take a lot of bad hits." Mira said putting ointment on the scratches.

I winced a little. "I don't know. Maybe it's because of this necklace Sparkeous gave me. He said he would protect me from harm of others and even myself." I explained.

"Harm from yourself?" Wendy repeated handing Mira a roll of bandages.

"That's what he told me. I remember easy dropping on Sparkeous and Minitacia late one night. They were saying I had a dangerously high amount of magical power deep inside me. I guess the necklace protects me from being engulfed by magic and losing my mind. I've never taken it off." I told the girls.

"That's scary…" Wendy whispered.

Mira finished wrapping the bandages around my torso. "Well, we're done. Let's join everyone in the guild hall." Mira said cheerfully trying to lighten the mood. I nodded then put both of my shirts back on. I stood up and followed the girls out of the room.

When I was in the guild hall, Erza motioned me to sit next to her at a table. "How are you feeling?" she asked me.

"Oh, I'm fine. I didn't take a lot of damage." I answered surprise by her friendliness.

"That's good. How are you feeling about being a part of Fairy Tail?" Erza said.

"I'm really enjoying this place. It's so fun and lively! I'm so happy I joined!" I exclaimed clapping my hands together.

"Gray-sama~!" someone yelled. I jumped in my seat. I could recognize that voice from anywhere.

"How dare does Gray-sama carry a girl while Juvia was gone on mission?!" Juvia screamed clinging onto Gray's arm. Juvia turned her head and glared at me.

"Juvia is gone for one day and now Gray goes off carrying Jade! Jade have you become Juvia's love rival?" Juvia asked running to sit next to her.

"Juvia… it's nice to see you. No, I don't like Gray like that." I answered.

"Oh, great! Juvia is happy that Jade is a part of Fairy Tail now." Juvia said hugging me. She got up and walked off to spend time with Gray.

"So you worked with Juvia too?" Erza asked as Mira put some strawberry shortcake in front of her.

"Yeah, Juvia was sometime with Gajeel and I when we did jobs. She was really scary when she got upset, but it seems like Fairy Tail brought her into the light." I answered scratching my cheek. Juvia was someone I made sure not to get on the wrong side with. I'm just happy she's nice and cheerful now.

"Well that's interesting. Juvia is so happy here. I can't see her being scary, though." Erza said taking a bite of her cake. I shrugged.

"I'm gonna go get a drink." I said standing up. Erza put up an ok sign and then dug into her cake.

I walked over to the bar and took a seat at a bar stool. "Can you bring me about five shots of rum please?" I asked Mirajane. She nodded. After a couple of minutes, Mira put the shots in front of me.

"Where are you going to stay tonight?" she cheerfully asked filling up Cana's mug.

I took a shot. "I don't know. I might as well just find a hotel to stay in while I look for a house here in Magnolia."

"Oh really? Where did you live before you came to Magnolia?" Mira asked cleaning the counters.

I down two more shots. "I was nomadic. I just stayed wherever the job required me to live."

"Interesting, I would suggest living at Fairy Hills, but the rent is 100,000 jewels a month. Maybe you stay with s girl until you get on your feet." Mira suggest.

I took down the last shots. "Maybe, but who would I stay with? Can I get another round please?" Mira left to go get the bottle. Who would I tag along with? I thought.

Mirajane refilled my shot glasses. "So have you figured out who you will be staying with?"

I quickly downed a shot. "I have no clue. All the girls are nice, but I'm not sure if they'll let me tag along. I mean I just joined the guild yesterday."

Erza took a seat next to me. "Jade may I ask you a question?" I was nervous to answer since she had an evil glint in her eyes.

"Sure…" I slowly answered.

Erza calmed down and shyly whispered, "Do you know how to bake cakes?" I laughed at my nervousness.

"Of course I do! I-" I was cut off by her hugging me until I lost my breath.

"Oh my gosh, you will stay with me. You won't even have to pay rent; I will make your stay extremely comfortable! All you have to do is make cakes for me every single day!" Erza exclaimed. She still had me in a death lock of a hug.

"Okay *cough* okay… I'll make you cakes." I cried trying to get some air. Erza let me go. I took a large deep breath. Some more girls came over to join the conversation.

"Hey I think Jade should stay with me!" Bisca piped up.

"Are you kidding me? I believe Jade should learn from a true~ fairy, like myself." Evergreen argued.

"I think it'll be fun if Jade stayed with me." Levy whispered.

"None of you may have Jade as a roommate. She has already agreed to be with me." Erza protested. The girls began to argue over who would get to take me home as if I was a pet. I just sat there and drank my shots. When I finished the lasted one, the girls were still arguing.

"Ya know what Mira; just give me the whole bottle. I think I'm gonna have a long night." I asked. She put the bottle in front of me, and I refilled the glasses. With all the commotion going on, Crystal came to check on me.

"How are you doing?" she asked.

"Look who decided to join the party! Where were you when I was getting badged up?" I answered.

"I was talking with Lily and them. Sorry that I can't spend time with my own kind. It wasn't like I was asleep for seven years! Wait a minute, what am I answering to you? You're drunk!" the cat retorted. I had taken three shots as she was talking.

"I am not drunk! You must be drunk being all grumpy like that." I argued. I mean I knew I was a little drunk, but I can hold my liquor.

Crystal thought for a moment. "Shut up! I've had a long day okay." She sighed, "I'm sorry. Do you know where we're gonna stay for the night?"

You've gotta understand that Crystal don't hold on to fights like most girls do. We just move on and not let it bother us in the future.

I shrugged. "Nope, the girls are arguing about who gets to host us for the night. I really don't mind who though." I patted Crystal on her head. "Don't fret though, these are some good girls." Crystal nodded.

Suddenly, Mira broke up the argument with a loud gasp. "I know what you guys can do! Since Jade doesn't have much money, each of you can pitch in to pay her rent for the first month. Then when she's on her feet, she can still be there for your company. What do you say?"

"What a wonderful idea Mira-chan! I'll help." Levy said.

"I will definitely help a fellow guild member." Erza nodded.

"Juvia will also assist her old friend." Juvia exclaimed. I wasn't even sure if she was anywhere near where this conversation was being held. The other Fairy Hill residents agreed.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Thank you guys. You're all so nice."

"Then it is settled. Jade and Crystal will move into Fairy Hills. I even think they already have a room she can move into. Let's have a sleepover tonight and celebrate our new friend!" Mira cheered.

Everything was happening so fast. Whatever was going on, I knew that the day was in my favor. The girls cheered, and took one shot and I was done. I wanted to be sober for this sleepover. Soon it was late and the girls were ready to start partying. They invited Lucy, and the girls rushed outside to get ready leaving me at the guild bar. I guessed they want to surprise me.

I took my actual last shot of rum. "This is a very energetic place, don't you agree Jade?" Crystal said after she took a sip of water.

"Yes, yes it is." I answered.

In about an hour, the girls took me from the bar and dragged me to Fairy Hills building. They showed me to my room. I had a bed, desk, closet, and a drawer. The basics. There wasn't much decorations, but I didn't care. I had my own room, my home.

"It isn't much, but this is what you start off with. Soon you'll be able to customize it to your liking." Erza said.

"Meet us in Erza's room when you're done settling in and dressed in your pajamas. You can't miss it." Mirajane said.

"Okay," I answered. The two girls exited my room closing the door behind them.

I jumped on my bed and rolled around. "Yay! My own room! Woo!" I cheered. Crystal threw the shoulder bag, I've had since I've been in Magnolia, at me.

"Put your clothes in the drawer and get your pj's on." She ordered.

I stopped rolling. "Yes mother." I answered.

I sat up and took a deep breath. This is such a good day, I thought. I put my pajamas on and headed for Erza's room. The door had a sword on it. "Here goes nothing" I whispered.
