(I apologise to the mystery around this story. All will be revealed I tell you this. Just give me some time. Also I was reading over the last chapter and saw Dina instead of Nina. Sorry I was writing a chapter for my other story, My Choice. So when I read over that I saw Dianna as Nianna. Stupid brain is stupid.)
~Lucy's P.O.V~
The trip to morning lore (Neither the Anime or the Manga has mentioned the town Blue Pegasus is in, so meh) was quit and uninvent full. Nina was Snoozing quietly on the train. For some reason the gentle rocking from side to side calmed her down. I laughed as I thought of someone else and transport. Natsu had always been sick on transportations, and here in front of me someone else I held dear couldn't stay awake. Ironic really.
As the train pulled into the station I woke Nina. She was slightly grumpy, but didn't mind. She couldn't wait to meet Hibiki. I was slightly nervous. I hadn't see the Trimens for a while. I hoped they had gotten out of there flirty ways.
"Lucy-Nee-Chan. Where do we have to go for the job anyways?" Nina asked as she skipped besides me. I smiled and sighed.
"Not far. It's a local hot spot that's been having some trouble lately. So they want some entertainment" Nina grabbed on to my hand after a few minutes. This simple action alone shocked me. While she loved me, she was very headiest to be touched. This was another reason I was worried about meeting the Trimens. Hey where certainly hands on.
We walked in quit till we found a the employers night club. It was pretty with a nice feel to it. But I had been burned by enough pretty things in the last year. So I didn't really care for it.
"Wow" Nina whispered. I sighed dragging her in.
The place was dimly lit. It had a few tables and chairs. A bar in the back. And a dance floor.
"How….. hip."
"Oh thank you, that's what I was going for" Came the pitched voice of a small man. I hadn't even notice him standing there, he was that small.
"You must be our employer. Mr…"
"Kip. But you can me Alex. Nice to meet you young lady's" Alex shook our hands.
"To be honest I was a little surprised that a job came from here. I would have thought that you would have gotten Blue Pegasus to help since this is their home town and all" I shrugged waiting for an explanation.
"Oh, no, no, no. I couldn't ask the lovely mages at Blue Pegasus, they come here all the time. I wouldn't want to in convinced any of them" I sweat dropped. If he was paying I don't think they'd care, plus they love to be on show. "Anyway enough talk about that. You are here just in time. The show will start in an hour. So please go change into these" He held up 2 costumes. Oh hell! One was my size, showing a lot of my breast, with gold trimming on black cloth. Is had a long skirt that split in the middle. I golden tiara on top.
Nina's cloths were a little more. It covered her whole body in a black cloth. It hung loose around her sides, with a blue cape. I saw a little smirk as Nina stared at my cloths.
"looks a bit like what you're wearing Ne-Chan" There was a little truth to her words. At the moment I was wearing a golden bra, with a black open jacket. But I was covering most of my breasts! This thing, not so much.
I sighed. I had learned a long time ago not to argue with the client. I just took the cloths, glaring daggers at Nina and headed to the back.
XxxxxxxxxxxX
An hour later, the crowded was packed. People where dancing, chatting getting piss assed drunk and so on so forth.
"I'm not sure if this was such a good job for you Nina" I said staring out on stage.
"Oh Nee-Chan, lighten up. I won't be seen for most of the thing anyway. We worked it out already" It was true. I would use my Star magic for different things, and Nina would be a shadow, in the background making my magic brighter. But this club…..
"Yeah I know, but I don't like the club that much."
"Too late to turn back now ladies" chipped Alex. This guy was starting to get on my nerves. I sighed as I pulled Nina close to me and whispered in her ear.
"Be careful alright? This may be your first job, and by the looks of it, an east one. But you never know what can go wrong. Alright?" Nina nodded as we were called on stage."
"And now ladies and gentlemen I give you, the star princess, and Lady of the shadows!" Show time.
Hibiki's P.O.V
I almost chocked at who came on stage. I hadn't seen Lucy in over a year. Ren and Eve seemed to notice as well.
"Hey Hibiki, isn't that Lucy-Chan?" Eve asked staring at the golden haired girl.
"I think it is" I learned forward on my chair to get a better look. Lucy seemed physically unconfutable, fidgeting with her cloths, and such. Put as soon as the music started to play, she smiled. Granted a fake one, but a smile none the less.
She lifted her hands and a soft golden light appeared. That was new. Within a few moments it had grown into an almost blinding light.
A shadow came from the back, wrapping it's self in the light. It then moved away and began to dance with it. Lucy, in turn was moving her arms with the time of music. Light emitting from her hands, creating a golden trail.
The music sped up a step and the light from her hands turned into golden whips. She lashed them at the audience bringing cries of joy. She turned around and the light engulfed her. A second late the music dropped. The light around her body, moved inwards and outwards with the music beat. A final loud beat and it jumped off her body. A light glitter fell over the audience. Next to her stood a little girl. They took a bow and then Lucy rushed her off the stage.
"Now that, was interesting" I said learning back in my chair. Sipping my drink.
"What are you thinking, Hibiki?" Eve asked me.
"I was just thinking of paying a visit to an old friend."
Lucy's P.O.V
That was annoying. The cloths I had been wearing, where not constable at all. As soon as I was of the stage I changed back into my normal cloths. Nina seemed to have loved it, asking to do an encore. I had vigorously refused.
"Hell no! I won't go" I had huffed crossing my arms and stamping my feet.
"Hehe. Oh Nee-Chan, you're so cute when you flustered" I grumbled at her, and decided we'd be leaving for Blue Pegasus. I went out and collected our pay from, Alex. He, like Nina asked for another show. I had turned him down. In truth we had only come to see The Trimens. I had no time for this booty show.
"You sure we can't do another show Nee-Chan?" I glared daggers at her, and that was the end of it.
"Come on, we'll get a room for tonight. I 'll see what I can do tomorrow" As we walked to the local inn I heard 3 sets of foot steps behind us. A year ago I would have sped up, but now I slowed down. I could hear the footsteps just a little bit behind us. I could see Nina was unconfutable. She heard them to.
In one quick movement I pushed Nina behind me, made 2 Star whips and stared eye to eye with-
"Hibiki?"
"In the flesh" He smiled at me and I sighed. Relived and a little pissed.
"You guys spooked Nina" I huffed. Eve moved to her side.
"Oh I'm sorry sweet heart. If you want I can be your pet?" Nina squealed and turned into a shadow, disappearing into my pocket. I sighed, rubbing my temple.
"She doesn't like people. Sorry. Anyway what can I do for you?"
"Oh we just caught your show" I went beat red. "Quite intrusting. What was that magic?" Hibiki asked me as we started walking to the inn.
"Star Magic. It's an old and Rare magic."
"Interesting. I've never come across it before" Hibiki rubbed the back of his head.
"I did say it was rare, right?" The Trimens smiled at me.
"Anyway what brings you here?" Ren asked.
"Actually, Hibiki" They seemed shocked.
"Me?"
"Yeah. I, well Nina wanted to ask you something" I pulled the shadow out of my pocket, and threw her into the air. She squeaked and turned into a human again. Blushing like a lobster, she stared at her feet.
"What did you want to ask me princesses?" Nina looked him in the eye, taking a giant breath.
"Nee-Chansaidthatyoumightknowsome thingaboutninjamagic?" The Trimens blinked once. Twice. Thrice. I sighed.
"She said 'Nee-Chan said you might know something about Ninja magic?'" I translated.
"Not much. Why?"
"It's her magic. But no one we know can use it. So I thought of you….."
"And you thought you'd come pay me a visit? Well if you stop by Blue Pegasus tomorrow, I'll see if I can't find anything" Nina squealed and ran to hug Hibiki. Only to stop short and change her direction, running to my side.
"Thank you so much!" She bowed, hiding behind my leg. Eve raised an eye brow. I smiled.
"I'll explain later. But thank you Hibiki, she's been nagging me for a month to ask you" I said goodnight to the Trimens heading for the counter. I payed for a room for tonight, and ushered Nina up there. We fell asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillows.
Hibiki's P.O.V
"Did Lucy seem different to you?" eve asked as we walked back to the guild hall.
"Yeah more confident" I answered. She had stood with an air of authority around her.
"And did you see what she was wearing? Almost nothing!" Ren pointed out. Of course he'd notice that first. But it was true. The Lucy I knew had worn low cut shirts, but never just a bra. Something had happened to her in the last year. And I was going to find out what.
(Sorry if this seems a little rushed. I've been writing it in class, and I can't take it home to check for spelling mistakes, so meh.
Oh this is going somewhere. But you'll have to see where.
After much thought, I have decided to do 3 arcs. So this is going to a long ass story. The last arc will be about Emily's farther and all that. It will also be after the 7 year time skip, so you have been warned. But at the moment I'm doing an arc that will include Blue Pegasus. So if you like the boys and gals from Blue Pegasus I apologise if they seem OOC. I'm not a fan. They piss me off with their womanizing ways.
Be patient, once my exams are over I'll be uploading a lot more. And I'll get to the Farther arc later (Hehe I'm keeping my story hostage)
With lots of love. Jeeves.)
