I'm sorry for not updating for so long. We got a new computer that had no typing document. Please bear with me, school is tiring and exams are going on.

I had finished stitching and bandaging Midnight up and set him against the tree, for a teenager he was HEAVY! He had lost a lot of blood and the fact that he was caught in a water stream probably didn't help. I looked around bored, there was nothing to do and my friends didn't know where I was, heck, I didn't know where I was. I could already imagine my punishment when I get back. I could get banished! I got captured, took a mission without permission...hey, that rhymed! XD...anyways, I had also got fellow Guild members put in the line of fire. All I wanted to do was to prove that I was stronger then I looked. I just wanted everyone to stop treating me like I'm a porcelain doll. So what if I was mentally unstable, so what if I am a smartass, so what if my mother was a Dark Mage. None of those define me!...Well...the first two did describe me but still! I sighed in defeat, I should just except that I bit off more then I can chew and I'll end up chocking in the end.

*Flashback-12 Years Ago-Age 5*

"Poor kid, not only is she alone but she has...that magic." A faceless women whispered.

"Yah, the last person who had that magic completely obliterated Halzul." Another whispered back.

"What's Halzul?" A faceless man asked.

"Exactly!" The faceless woman said. "We shouldn't be surprised, she is a Dark Mages daughter."

"Yah, if the mother hadn't turned the father to stone, she would've." The faceless man exclaimed. "Same thing about that poor boy, her brother. He was a Dragon Master, he had potential!" All this time a little girl stood on the sidelines quietly, she heard every word. Her black hair was in two pigtails that where in a few giant curls, she wore a black and red gothic Lolita, child's dress that went between her ankles and her knees. Black socks where underneath, going to her knees, her black boots going to where the dress ends. Her silver eyes where blank, her own shadow looked like it was soundlessly cussing the women and man out. The shadow had been the only way for her to show what she feels since the incident. Then a hand rested on her shoulder and she looked up in shock only having to redirect her gaze to almost eye level.

"Don't listen to what they say. They're scared of what they don't understand. Your magic doesn't determine who you are, you do. Now do you know what Guild your father was apart of?" The man asked and the girl shook her head silently as the shadow looked confused. "He was apart of Fairy Tail! Why don't you come join us, everyone there won't judge you for what you can do, heck we have a girl who's beast possession is greatly feared but she's friends with almost everyone...almost, she does have an attitude. Then when your ready you can join as a mage of Fairy Tail! How does that sound?" He asked smiling. The girl gave an emotionless nod but her shadow was jumping up and down, clamping it's hands. "Hmm, I see you talk through your shadow, well that will change. We Fairy Tail Mages are far from anti-social." He said then led the young girl away to the Fairy Tail Guild.

*Flashback-11 Years Ago-Age 6*

"Hey Yume, you've been reading those shojo manga for too long! Come train with me!" Natsu asked the young girl. Her hair was now in a straight ponytail that reached her shoulders. Her eyes where less dull now, her outfit consist of black jeans that where slightly torn at the knees. She had a black T-shirt that said 'Don't mess with an Otaku' in red.

"Maybe later, I want to finish my manga! I think Mary is about to confess to Ichiro!" She said smiling as she went back to her manga.

"How can you read that!? I get the comedy part but the romance...yuck." He said sticking his tongue out. Then he took her manga and blew fire on it, turning it to ash. The girl watched wide eyed. Then she sent a glare at Natsu as a dark aura surrounded her.

"You...burned...my...manga!" She yelled out and tackled him. She then threw him into Erza making her drop her strawberry shortcake, she in return stared at it then threw a table at Natsu who dodged. The table hit Marijane who in return threw a table that hit Gray. After that a full blown fight happened between the guild members.

"That's enough!" A deep voice echoed and a giant shadow like man appeared. Everyone stopped and looked at him.

"Oh crap it's Grampszilla!" The girl yelled out making everyone laugh, including the shadow man who shrunk into the old man. She looked around blushing, it just came out. But as everyone laughed and smile she smiled too and began laughing.

*Flashback-5 Years Ago-Age 12*

The girl, her hair now went to her waist in the ponytail, looked around the corner at a orange headed boy. Adjusting the bag on her shoulder she walked up to him.

"Mr. Loke." She said poking him. He turned to her and smiled.

"Hello Yume, how's it going?" He asked smiling, rustling her hair.

"I have a question, where do babies come from?" She asked making the male freeze. "No one will tell me but since you seem to be so wise I thought I'd ask you." She said.

"Well...um...there's a magical land of babies...and um..." He said trying to explain but he ended up speechless.

"Hmmmm, interesting." She said then grinned. "Elfman owes me! I won the bet!" She grinned and Loke looked at her in shock.

"What!?" He yelled.

"Elfman said that I couldn't think of a question that would leave you speechless!" She grinned proudly.

"Wow, when you first came here you where a quiet girl who had an obsession with shojo manga. Now your a little terror, a smartass, and a little thief now give me back my amulet!" He demanded. The girl smirked and handed him back the necklace.

"Not my fault! I was raised by a group of lunatics!" She said laughing.

"Yah well I had no part in it!" He said then smirked. The girl stopped laughing and gulped as Loke's eyes sparked. Within seconds she was running like a bat out of hell through the guild.

"Erza! Erza! Luxord! Luxord! Loke is gonna use the broccoli charm on me!" She yelled as she hid behind Luxord who was the first one to respond.

*End of Flashback*

I smiled slightly at the memories. Though I won't tell anyone, I was still obsessed with Shojo manga. But I never found out if Mary ever confessed because Natus had burned the only copy I had and the manga was sold out to this day. Stupid Natsu! Elfman also still owed me from that bet. I heard a twig snap and turned to see Midnight going through my bag. I paled, my Shojo Manga was in there! My Mamotte Lollipop! (Idn own Mamotte Lollipop, it also is called Save Me Lollipop) I couldn't allow Midnight to see it! Unfortunately, while I was worrying about him finding my Mamotte Lollipop, he had found one and was flipping through it before his head snapped up to look at me. He continued to look from the book to me. Then he went to the very first page where I normally write, 'Property of Yume Kage, please return if found and tell anyone and I will kill you!'.

"You like shojo!?" He asked shocked. "Great! I kidnapped an Otaku!" He groaned in annoyance.

"Who said you could go through my bag!" I yelled at him, my heart was racing an heat rose to my cheeks.

"To be honest, I'm shocked, these are romance and stuff...your an annoying brat with a smart mouth." He said putting the book back into the bag.

"So, everyone has a hobby...give me back my bag!" I growled and grabbed the bag. He smirked, enjoying my annoyance and embarrassment. Then he glanced at his arm and side.

"You know, you could've left me to bleed to death." He said calmly, narrowing his eyes at me.

"Yah well, theres this thing...its called a conscience...its a little voice in your head that tells you what is the right thing to do." She said slowly like he was stupid.

"I know what a conscience is!" He growled, looks like I pissed him off...Haha!

"Just thought you didn't cause ya don't have one." I shrugged nonchalantly.

"I have a conscience, I just keep it in a room so it doesn't bother me." He grinned. "I find enjoyment in torturing it." After that it was silent, he just stared at me like I was puzzled he couldn't put together. "You could've still left me to die." He spoke, quieter this time. I didn't answer. Looking up I saw that it was getting late so I stood up and began to walk in a direction I thought was home. However I was stopped by a pair of arms snaking themselves around my waist. I was then pulled backwards into him, his breath tickled my neck. "Where do you think your going...your still my prisoner...but now for different reason." He said and walked backwards till his back hit something, then he slid down till he was sitting in the floor. I ended up sitting in his lap.

"And what reason is that creepo." I growled, struggling.

"You'll find out...when I feel like telling you." He whispered and fell asleep.

"You sleep too much!"
