Yes I have changed the title, but only because I am attempting to attract more readers and thought it would give away the story. This one has a lot of enjoyable story time and girl talk (also in the next chapter). Please enjoy~!

Chapter Three

Jade opened the door to the room to reveal 5 rooms being connected. By the walls were numerous amounts of different amours that had been pushed off for more room.

She gasped. "Wow, there's so much space and look at all this amour!"

"It's like she has her own house." Crystal agreed.

Erza approached the two girls with a chuckle. "Welcome to my room. We're using this one to put your stuff in here. The real party is in the other three rooms. Let me show you."

Crystal and Jade nodded. They walked into the next room. It had tables with different board and card games set up. "As you probably figured out, this room will serve as the game room." Cana waved as she set up poker.

"Awesome, I'm a pro at many card games! We'll definitely need to play before the night is over." Jade cheered pointing at herself.

"Yeah, she only gets serious when it's strip poker, the perv." Crystal muttered. Jade snapped from her prideful mood.

"Shut it cat, I get serious about other games." Jade protested.

Crystal rolled her eyes. "Whatever." Erza chuckled as they walked into the third room. Jade almost had a heart attack. There were sweets everywhere! Cakes, caramels, chocolates, and cookies. It was obvious the dragon slayer was lost in her own dessert heaven.

"Um, is Jade okay?" Mirajane asked putting some chocolate chip cookies on a tray.

Crystal sighed. "She'll be fine. Jade seriously has a high love for anything sweet. Her sweet tooth takes over whenever she's near a bunch of desserts. We can continue to walk. She'll snap out of it when we get to the other room." Erza nodded.

The fourth room had a movie lacrima with a huge blanket spread across the floor. Little areas had pillows to sit and relax on. Jade woke up from her day dream. "Wow, there were so many sweets. What happened?"

"Oh I forgot to mention this, Jade acts like she woke up from a complete drunk if she sees or eats many desserts. It's really pathetic since she's a dragon slayer." Crystal said shaking her head.

"Hey Jade-chan! Come sit, we're about to watch a movie." Lucy called patting a spot near her and Levy.

"Yo Lucy, I didn't know you lived here." Jade replied taking the seat. Crystal went to sit by Carla.

"I don't, but the girls let me join them, so I won't miss any fun." Lucy answered.

"Hey Erza, what's in the fifth room?" Jade asked since all the girls were sitting in the room.

"That one's off limits." The scarlet mage quickly answered with a slight blush.

"Ooo, I wonder why." Cana slurred taking a break from a wine bottle she brought along.

"Um, how about we pick a movie." Levy said scratching her cheek.

"As much as I want to see a spicy conversation between Titania and the drunk, this party needs to begin." Evergreen stated.

"Okay, since we're celebrating Jade tonight, is there anything you want to watch?" Mirajane asked.

Jade shrugged. "As long as it's not horror or some stupid chick flick, I don't mind."

"That kinda limits it. Do you have any favorites?" Laki asked.

"Well-"was all Jade could let out when Crystal, who was in a private discussion with Carla, let out a loud "No!"

"What?!" the girls asked startled by the sudden reaction.

A smirk pulled Jade's lips. "Jade's favorite movie is Pirate of the Caribbean 3. She watches it at least 2 times a week. We're not watching it." Crystal sternly stated avoiding Jade's look.

"Come on, I haven't seen it in a while." Jade protested.

"I don't care. We're not watching that movie." Crystal replied boldly looking at Jade dead in the eye.

Jade quickly jumped to her feet, cracking her knuckles. "Trying to push me around again cat, wanna go?"

Crystal stood up and went to her big battle form. "With pleasure, girly." All the girls were shocked by the sudden fight stirring between the friends.

"How about we skip the movie and eat some desserts?" Mira quickly said trying to stop a fight from happening. This got Jade's attention and she was instantly in the other room grabbing a plate and was already putting different sweets on it. Erza was right behind her. Crystal shrunk into her chibi form.

Lucy sighed. "It's like having Natsu and Gajeel stuck in a girl's body."

"True, but that'll make things fun." Wendy cheered.

"Lucy's got a point." Carla said shaking her head.

"Come on guys, with Jade and Erza in there, we need to claims some sweets before they eat them all." Laki said motioning the three girls to follow her in the room. The girls followed.

12 cupcakes, 24 salt water taffies, 26 pieces of caramels, and 32 chocolate chip cookies (eaten by Jade) later, Erza had started a cake eating contest amongst the girls. Each girl got to pick one flavor of cake and had to eat as many slices with no time limit.

Most girls were out after 5 to 8 generous slices. Soon it was down to Erza, who was eating strawberry cake, and Jade who picked chocolate cake. It was neck to neck; Jade was at 22 slices while Erza had 24 slices. The girls, who weren't suffering a major stomach ache, watched with amusement.

"Erza is winning, but the two are very impressive." Lucy examined as Jade finished another slice.

"True, but the fact that Jade is eating chocolate puts her at a higher status even while losing. That stuff can be very dense." Bisca said.

"Whatever, this is a bunch of bull of a competition anyway." Cana said as she took the last long sip from her bottle.

"You're just upset that you were out after 2 slices. That's what you get for picking rum cake while still being drunk. A true fairy knows how to enter a competition with a smart mind." Evergreen mocked.

"Shut it bitch! You were merely eating vanilla and was done after 3 slices. That's not a big difference." Cana retorted.

"Why I-"

"It's done!" Mirajane shouted throwing her hands in the air. All the girls turned to see who won. Both Jade and Erza had a hand on their stomach but didn't look sick at all. "We have run out of cake, and it's a tie." Everyone showed their shocked. Even if it's only an eating contest, there was actually someone who could keep up Erza.

"Wow. Juvia is impressed." The water mage complimented. This took a weight off of Jade's shoulders. *inner sigh* Cool, I'm on her good side, she thought.

Later, the girls were in the game room playing with each other but making sure to interact with Jade in some way. She enjoyed mingling with the girls as they played mancala, chess, spades, and monopoly. They were gonna play poker with Cana, but she found a bottle of some strong whiskey in her bag and drank herself sill.

"Damn it Cana, you picked a wonderful time to get drunk. We were about to play poker." Jade complained. She had a few sips from Cana's bottle, but still she wasn't drunk.

"It's okay. Fairy Tail's having a poker game in 2 days." Lucy comforted. Jade tried not to show her excitement.

"Anyway, right now is a good time to start the gossip game." Mira cheered with an evil glint in her eyes. The girls gulped.

We were back in the last room sitting in a circle when Erza stood to explain the game. "All of us will ask Jade a question to get to know her better." She sat back down.

"So um, how exactly is this a game?" Wendy asked shyly.

"It's really not. Mirajane just wanted a title for trying to be nosy." Erza teased. "Who wants to start?"

Crystal hand was first. We were all surprised. "Jade you never told this. How old were you when Sparkeous and Minitacia took you in?"

I thought for a moment. "I didn't tell you? They told me that Minitacia found me by their home in a basket with only my name on a piece of paper. I was a baby; I have no memory of my parents." The girls looked a little sad. Carla was next.

"How long have you and Crystal known each other?" Me and my partner starred at each other.

"Do you know?" I asked. She shook her head. "Yeah, I have no clue. I know it was after my third mission with Gajeel." I answered. This seemed to spark some questions in the girls.

"Well what was the first mission with him like?" Lucy asked. I sighed, It looks like you'll be sneezing a lot Kurogane

"Achoo!" Gajeel sneezed in the middle of eating his snack. "Ah f-,"

"What's wrong?" Lily asked with some concern.

"That wrench! The Beast is gonna be talking about me!" he answered angrily.

Lily shook his head. He's paranoid.

"Well before I begin, please understand that I've done some bad things in my past." I began. The girls gave me a knowing smile.

I sighed from relief. "It all started about a year and a half after the dragons disappeared. Gajeel had already created a name for himself being a part of Phantom Lord, and I was living off the land, wandering, and desperately needed work. One day, I had stumbled across a branch and was extremely hungry. I decided to steal some food." The girls gasped.

Years ago-

A younger Jade was walking in a town hidden in the woods and was starving. All the berries around her were poisonous. Plus, she had no money to buy any food.

Jade approached a large building with a sign: Phantom Lord. Jade had heard of this place, a dark guild that brought fear throughout the land. She stopped and thought for a moment. They have a lot of members, and where there are a lot of people, there's a lot of food. She considered the consequences of stealing from here: death, rape, torture, etc. She shrugged it off; most of the things she had done since her parents disappeared had the same consequences. Jade had never been caught. She figured it would apply here.

Jade walked to the back of the building and hid behind some trash cans. Soon, some drunkards stumbled out the back door. Jade slipped in and sat behind a few crates. She peaked a little and looks around the building. It was late and there weren't many people there. Those who were, were just drunk men and a few prostitutes. Jade located what seemed like the pantry room to be a few daring feet in the open guild hall.

Jade took the risk. She bolted into the room. It seemed like nobody saw her. She quietly closed the door and looked around the room. There was so much food! Jade started woofing down breads, cheeses, fruits, and pretty much anything in her sight. She had eaten for about 30 minutes straight when she heard someone turn the knob. She ran into a dark corner.

Three tall, muscly men walked in and began to grab some stuff. One was inching closer to where Jade was, she took in a deep breath and held it. The man backed away and went to the other side off the room.

They collected food for a few minutes and walked to the door. Jade sighed. She took in a breath when they were walking out; she felt some dust in her nose. Crap!

"Achoo!" The men rushed back into the room. A man found her and lifted Jade in the air by the collar of her shirt. "Look boss,"

"Well what do we have here?" said the leader.

"What should we do with her? Should we tell Master Jose?" asked the other man.

"She's a cutie. I'll take care of it. Master doesn't need to know." He answered grabbing her chin. "Yeah, I think we can take her here and now." The men laughed. Jade's eyes got wide.

"Bastard!" she screamed as she kicked the leader in the stomach. She then elbowed the man who was holding her in the jaw, but ended up being punched in the face by the other man. He pushed her back against the wall. The other two stood up.

The leader chuckled. "You're a feisty one. I guess I'll have to rape you harder." He punched Jade in the stomach, and she went to her knees. She slowly got up. One of the goons held her arms behind her back. The men gave her sadistic smiles. The leader started rubbing Jade's developing breast, and licked his lips. Jade gulped. The process was interrupted as a dark presence appeared. A teenage boy with piercing red eyes came from the shadows.

Jade was surprised. Where did he come from? I could have sworn I was alone when I entered, and I know he wasn't with the other men.

"Gajeel! When did you get here?" cried the leader.

The boy got closer to them. "It's pretty low to be trying to take advantage of little girls." he said ignoring the question.

"You have no right to be messing with boss' business," replied the man who was holding Jade's arms. The other man nodded getting battle position.

The boy turned and quickly slammed the man's head into the other man's head, letting Jade get free. He glared at the leader. "I don't want to see or even hear about you doing this pathetic stuff."

"I won't; I promise." The leader stammered.

"Oh trust me, you really won't." the boy put his hand around the man's neck. Jade turned knowing what would some next.

After she heard a crack noise, she looked and saw the man drop to the floor. She met the boy's eyes. For some reason, they didn't scare her. She ran for the door, but the boy grabbed her by the arm.

"Not so fast, what the hell is some 8 year old girl doing in a place like this!?" he asked.

Jade pulled her arm out of his grip. "I was eating some food. And by the way, I'm not 8; I'm 12. What about you? You look like you're 16." She answered boldly.

Gajeel scoffed. "I'm 13, but that's important right now. I'm taking you in to see Master Jose for a punishment."

Jade slowly backed towards the door. Gajeel grunted. Is she really trying to escape? Who does she think she is?

"You can't escape. I'll be bringing you in peacefully, so don't get yourself hurt and come." The girl laughed. This got Gajeel pissed.

"Hehe, as much as I would like for that to happen, I have other things to attend to. Nice meeting you though." Jade replied, then out of nowhere some lightning rushed through her body giving her the ability to run at an incredible speed.

She was already out the building when Gajeel realized what happened. "Wait! You can use magic?!"

For the next 6 day, Phantom Lord guarded all the exits of the town trying to find Jade. Gajeel was pissed that he actually let a thief get away; he was-

"Wait!" Lucy called. I paused.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Give me a second to process this… you're telling me that you broke into Phantom Lord, ate some food, almost got raped, had Gajeel rescue you, yet still needed to bring you in, escaped, and was being hunted down. Am I right?" Lucy summarized.

I nodded. "Yes, you're right. Is there something wrong?"

"Well, the Gajeel you met is different from the one we first encountered." Lucy answered.

"I'll be getting there soon. By saving me, I knew he could change, but I'm definitely not saying he was nice at all. Plus, Master Jose has a way of manipulating his guild members' minds, so Gajeel truly thought that you were the enemy, but we're getting ahead of ourselves. I'll continue." I explained.

"Jade-chan is right." Juvia said giving further assurance.

"Wait so if Gajeel is one year older that Jade, that makes him-," Wendy began.

"Okay let's continue!" I interrupted clapping my hands. I know Gajeel is secretive about his age.

Anyway, Gajeel was trying hard to be the one who drags Jade back for her crime. Jade been hiding and changed her clothes, hairstyle, and the way she talked. Jade didn't use magic, and wore perfume to distract her scent. Someone could be a dragon slayer for all I know, she thought. She got a job selling fruits from a cart. She had seen Gajeel passing a few times, but dared not to speak to him.

She was happy she got paid every day, and soon was getting comfortable in this new life. But her luck ran out when one day Gajeel stopped by her cart. She saw him approaching and turned to fidget with the apples behind her.

"Hey lady," he called

Jade didn't turn to look at him. "Yes sir, what may I do for you?" she asked making her voice go a little higher.

"Give me a bag of those apple over there." He answered. Jade grabbed a brown paper bag and started putting the best apples from the crate in front of her. She tried not to shake. She wasn't scared of him, only the fact that she would have to give up her peaceful life.

An apple fell. Jade bent over and picked it up. The bag was soon full and handed it to him. "Here you are," she said. He took the bag and gave her some jewels. "thank you sir." Gajeel didn't say anything and walked away. When he was far from her sight, Jade sighed. That was too close.

After she got her day's pay, Jade started walking to an abandon hut she found after the Phantom Lord incident. As she walked, Jade took in a deep breath. She stopped walking. "Instead of wasting mine and your energy from a 'surprise attack', how about you take me in peacefully, so I won't have to act surprised." Jade called from behind her.

Gajeel came from an alley. "I gave you that option six days ago. It's time to use force." Suddenly, five men jump from the alleys and surrounded Jade.

She sighed. "Fine, we'll do it your way." The men came at her. Jade knocked out 2 with one punch on each head. The third guy tried to punch her, but she caught his fist and threw him into another man. She looked at the last one and chuckled. He was nervous and threw a sloppy punch; Jade easily dodged it and put the man in a headlock. She twisted his neck. Jade let him go and the body dropped. She had mimicked what Gajeel had done when they met. Gajeel was shocked. "What the hell," he whispered.

Jade walked in front of him and held her hands out between them. "Like I said, I'll come peacefully." Gajeel cuffed her with some rope and Jade followed him to the branch building.

The walk was quiet, and the silence was annoying her. "How did you know it was me?" she asked.

"When you bent over, I realized you didn't wear perfume on your butt. I smelled your scent." He answered.

"I also didn't have any on my hands. Smelling my ass is creepy, you pervert." Jade replied.

Gajeel growled. "You're in no position to insult me, be happy I have orders not to harm you."

Jade rolled her eyes. "Yet you planned on bringing me in from a surprise attack. You're smart." Gajeel slapped her.

"Happy now? Now shut your trap when you get inside." He said pulling the ropes as the branch building came into sight."

"If these ropes weren't blocking off my magic, I swear." Jade muttered.

They stepped into the branch, and Gajeel pulled her throughout the chaos to avoid any conversation. He dragged her upstairs and went into a room where a tall, slim man turned to greet them. He gave them a dark, creepy smile.

Gajeel did a little bow. "Master Jose, I have brought you the girls." He pulled her beside him.

"You caused quite a stir young lady. Do you know what trouble we went through to find you?" the man asked. Jade rolled her eyes and yawned out of boredom. "Why you little brat! You know I could have you killed and no one would have a say about it." Jose tried to calm himself down. "You're gonna pay your debt. I believe 50,000 jewels is reasonable."

"50,000 jewels! What the hell, I didn't eat that much food, dammit!" Jade retorted. She jerked her cuffed hands out of Gajeel's grip.

"Would you like to do prison time instead?" Master Jose asked turning his head to the side.

"I wouldn't give a shit! I ain't accepting this type of treatment from an asshole like you!" she answered not shaken up by the threat.

Gajeel punched her in the stomach. "Watch what you say to Master, kid."

"You all can rot in hell." Jade muttered as she got back to her feet.

"You will repay your debt by taking a job. Somebody will escort you." Master Jose said happy with the pain she just received.

"Fine, I'll repay your ridiculous debt, but can you take this rope off?" Jose nodded. Gajeel untied the rope. Jade rubbed her wrist.

"As for you Gajeel, you're not getting off the hook. I know you killed a fellow guild member; you will accompany this brat on her mission."
"What!" the two yelled.

"Master, don't let me work with this wimp." Gajeel said.

"Sir, don't make this worst for me, and I'm not a wimp. All you've done is fight. Can you even use magic?" Jade replied. Gajeel hit her with Iron Fist.

"I'm a dragon slayer; I could easily crush you." Jade got to her feet and returned the attack.

"So am I jackass! You're nothing special because of that." Jade growled.

Gajeel wobbled to his feet. "What the-,"

"Well it seems like you two have something to talk about. So get out of here." Jose replied. The two left the room mumbling curse words. After Jade closed the door, she looked to see Gajeel staring at her.

"What the hell was that? How can you use iron dragon slayer magic?" he asked.

Jade shrugged. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, you used lightning magic to escape. How did you do that?" he explained.

"The lightning was from Sparkeous. The iron was one of the things I learned from Minitacia. I was raised by two dragons." Jade answered nonchalantly.

The boy blinked in disbelief. "You? Ha, yeah right. Wait… Minitacia, that a- of a dragon found something better to than crush heats." Gajeel replied with a smirk.

"Why you, you know what? Fuck it, let's just get this over with so I can be on my way." Jade said going down the stairs. She heard a gee hee come from the boy. Yeah laugh now; I could make this job a living hell for you.

Jade turned right to where she saw the request board. She looked through them: capture a tiger, hunt a monster, treasure hunt, etc. In fact the only true job that was 50,000 jewels was the tiger one, but a question was bugging Jade.

"Hey Gajeel, or whatever your name is, if I do a job that has a higher reward than my debt, will I be able to keep the extra jewels?" she asked as she got down to the jobs with higher rewards.

Gajeel rolled his eyes. "Kid, you can have all the remainder if you can handle it."

"My name's Jade not kid." She muttered. It was actually the first time she had introduced herself, but that didn't matter to her. She pulled off a flyer and handed it at Gajeel.

He couldn't help but laugh. "You think can waltz into this guild and pick out an assassin job to pay your debt. Only high class mages can handle these jobs with a pay of 500,000 jewels. Ha whatever, it'll be your funeral."

"Well, it's my life to throw around, or maybe I'm trying to die just to get you in trouble. Not being able to watch somebody will definitely damage your later reputation." Jade shrugged.

"Why you-," he growled.

"I'll see you in the morning. I'm gonna catch a few winks before we killed the bastard." Jade interrupted stretching her arms. She walked out the building with Gajeel following her.

"I'm coming to your house. You were probably gonna try to get out of town, so you wouldn't have to work off your debt. I'm not gonna let that happen." He said walking beside Jade.

Jade shrugged. "If that's what you want to do,"

Twenty minutes later, the two were still walking, and Gajeel was getting impatient. "Are we almost there? This is walk too long."

"No we're not, calm your nerves. I couldn't be living in the center of town with your guild looking for me. Be patient," Jade answered.

"Tch, is there a shortcut or something that will make this go any faster." Gajeel complained.

"You little impatient brat," Jade muttered. She sighed. "Alright, grab my hand."

"What?" he asked.

"I'll use my magic, but you need to hold my hand so it can affect you." Jade explained holding out her hand. Gajeel grabbed her wrist. Jade chuckled. "Hold on," Her lightning went through her own body then into Gajeel's. They rushed through the city and were there in two minutes.

They were in the front when Jade came to a complete stop. Gajeel let go then placed his hand on his head. "Damn woman, why couldn't we do that the first time?"

"Because I can use my magic for something else, but it seems like you couldn't even handle it for two minutes. Why would I think ten would be better?" she explained walking into the hut. Gajeel followed and looked around.

It had dirt floors, an oil lamp, and a sleeping mat. There wasn't much to live off of, but it seemed like she was making it work. Jade lit the lamp, and then took out some pajamas from a string bag. "Hey perv, turn around while I get dress." Gajeel turned his back, and Jade began to strip.

"How are you even living? There's no water, no electricity; this place is a dump." Gajeel said.

"Well, you just got to make it work. There's a clean creek behind the hut that I can drink and bathe from. I eat some food from the cart, go to the next day. I've been doing it since the dragons left and I'm living." Jade responded putting on her shirt.

"How do you know about the other dragons?" he asked almost turning around to look at her. She threw a shirt and he turned.

"When you travel, paths cross and rumors are heard. It looks like all the dragons disappeared." Jade answered slipping on her pants. "You can turn now." Gajeel turned and looked at her. She was serious. "You can sleep on the mat. I don't like sleeping near strangers. You'll have to sleep first." Jade said pointing to the mat.

"That makes two of us." Gajeel grunted sitting on one side of the hut.

Jade damped the oil lamp and sat on the other side. "Suit yourself." Their bright eyes glowed in the darkness, but soon Jade's blue ones closed. Gajeel could tell she was still awake by her breathing. Stubborn woman, he thought.

At some point, both dragon slayers were asleep, waiting for the busy day in front of them.

"Wow, you're lucky to be alive." Erza said thinking that was an appropriate time to interject.

"Exactly, most people would have been dead with words you said to Master Jose." Mirajane replied.

I shrugged. "It was pretty daring, but I just didn't care what happened. I knew I was the strongest mage, but I wasn't letting some push me around like that."

Laki nodded. "I agree; 50,000 jewels is six times the huge meal that Natsu would eat. That was plain cruelty."

"Juvia didn't know that Jade-chan did an assassin job with Phantom Lord." Juvia whispered.

I felt a little sad. "I know; I sometimes feel guilty about doing it. I understand that the man was evil and corrupt, but it hurts that I was willing to do it just so I could get away with my troubles." The room was quiet for a few minutes.

"Let's not sit around all depressed; Jade please continue." Cana said. I nodded.

*Crash*!... *Slurp*! *Crash*! Were the sounds Gajeel woke up to the next morning. He sat up from the mat and looked out the door frame. It was storming. All he heard was thunder and the rain pounding on roof. He rubbed his eyes then looked around; the girl was nowhere in the hut. Her scent was fresh but he couldn't find her.

"I swear when I get my hands on her I'll-," Gajeel's grumble was interrupted by a loud slurping sound with a noisy thunder following it. "What the hell is that?!" Gajeel got up and walked out the hut. He looked around, no girl. What was her name again? Jude? Jake? I'll worry about it later. He growled as he circled the hut but still didn't see her. He was in the front again when something called him.

"Good morning Gajeel! How are you?!" the girl shouted from her seat on the roof.

"What are you doing up there?" he shouted back.

"It's called getting breakfast. There's so much lightning today; I could be stuff for the rest of the week." She answered. Three lightning bolts fell from the clouds and the girl sucked them to her.

"Get down here Jude, we need to get going." He called to her.

The girl jumped off the roof and landed on her feet. She was already in her day clothes (even though they were soaked) and had her string bag already packed except for the sleeping mat. "I've been ready. You were the one asleep. Plus, my name's not Jude; it's Jade."

"Whatever, let's get going. I want this man killed before Sunday (three days)." Gajeel replied crossing his arms.

"Alright, let me go get my mat and I we can go." Jade said going in the hut. She folded it up then stuffed it into her string bag. She walked out and they were on their way.

(Fast-Forward to Middle of train ride)

"Who are we trying to get?" Gajeel asked breaking the silence between the two.

Jade took out the flyer from her pocket and read it over. "It says here that Daniel Knickson is a middle-age millionaire. He used to be head of a very successful mining company but for an unknown reason retired. He currently lives in seclusion in a huge mansion at the outskirts of the town we're going to. He has no staff, but is looking for a chef and a maid. It seems you could just walk in there with a chef and maid outfit and you get the job. This seems like a pretty easy job for the given reward, but I guess it's for the value of life. We have to meet the employer at a bar near the train station. She'll give us further instructions."

Gajeel grunted. "Daniel Knickson… I've heard he tried to pick a fight with Master Jose a couple of years before. Whoever is an enemy Master, should to die. This'll be a piece of cake."

Jade rolled her eye. "That man's morals are twisted. Following him, will make you do something you'll regret in the future." Gajeel looked upset and confuse by what she said, so she didn't pry anymore.

In a few hours, Jade and Gajeel were in an alley behind the bar by the train station. A woman soon appeared. Her whole was cover; all you could see was the evil smirk she gave.

"Kurogane and the Elemental Thief, so we have met"

Well that was interesting. I wanted to finish the story, but it was just too much. More will come after I update my other fanfic. I know Gajeel seems kind of grown in this one, but it's just an effect of being abandon by Metalicana. Plus, I'll try to get a picture of what Jade looks like exactly; I'm still working out details. Please review on comments, errors, and criticisms.. See ya~
