I'm not lost: Redux

Chapter 4

Zoro followed both the tiny guild master and the bossy red haired girl through the streets of Magnolia as they made their way back to the guild. The red haired girl Erza continued to lecture him but he wasn't really paying attention. His mind was elsewhere at the moment, truth be told he didn't really want to meet the new members of the guild, he didn't need new friends, but he was obligated to do so due to his debt to the old man.

"…and from now on you will treat the master with the respect he deserves," demanded the young girl in that marched in front of him.

"huh," questioned Zoro lazily as his attention was once again on Erza.

"Were you even listening to me," demanded the now enraged girl.

"No, not really," was the green haired boy's blunt reply

"Why you…"

"Now, now children," scolded the guild master calmly, "you should quit arguing now, we're already here."

And sure enough as he looked up at the building they now stood in front of Zoro could see the large sign that marked it as the guild hall.

"Now then Zoro, are you ready to make some new friends," said the old man as he pushed the doors to the guild open. The sight that beheld him was one of chaos and turmoil as two boys only a couple of years younger than Zoro's current age were busy fighting each other as the rest of the guild simply watched on in amusement. One using ice the other fire.

"Ice-make: Lance," shouted the dark haired boy than Zoro's current age as projectiles of ice shot force to strike at the boy with pink hair.

"Dam it Gray that's not fair, I wasn't even looking you jerk," shouted the pink haired boy.

"Natsu," taunted the other boy, "it's your own fault. You really should pay more attention lizard breath."

"Oh yeah," shouted Natsu, "Well, you should put your clothes back on you damn stripper!"

"Oh crap," shouted Gray as he looked at his state of undress, "When did this happen?"

"Just shut up and fight you naked snowman! Fire dragon's iron fist," Natsu shouted as his fists were covered in flames and charged at Gray.

Gray quickly dodged to the left before sweeping Natsu's legs out from under him. As Natsu fell he quickly paced his hands underneath him and managed to catch himself.

"You're gonna pay for that Gray!"

Master Makarov merely sighed as he watched the two boys fight.

"Those two have entirely too much energy; at the rate they're going they're going to wreck the guild hall."

"Master," said Erza, "please allow me to stop them."

Makarov looked at her for a moment before turning his gaze to the green haired swordsman, "I have a better idea, Zoro why don't you stop them?"

"Why," questioned Zoro.

"I just want to see how you handle a situation like this is all."

"Fine," said Zoro compliantly as he directed his attention to the two boys who were still too busy fighting to notice the arrival of the guild master. "Hey, you two idiots."

"Huh," said the two boys simultaneously as they turned their heads to the owner of the voice.

"Are you talking to us," questioned Natsu.

"No I'm talking the other pink and black haired boys fighting with fire and ice," said Zoro sarcastically.

"Oh," said the pink haired boy, "okay then."

"You idiot he was too talking about us," Gray shouted at him.

"Hey," shouted Natus in rage as realization dawned on him, "Do you want to fight or something?"

"Sure," said Zoro, "I'll take the both of you weaklings on at the same time."

This seemed to have the desired effect as both of the boys faces contorted into looks of rage.

"Come on Natsu," said Gray through gritted teeth, "Let's get him."

"Yeah," shouted Natsu as he once again ignited his fists, "I'm all fired up!"

Both boys charged at Zoro as he simply stood there with his eyes closed and a cocky smirk on his face. Focusing on the two boys he snapped his eyes open, if only to make it look cooler, as he unleashed a wave of killing intent on them. Instantly the two boys halted their reckless charge as they began to tremble.

"H-hey Natsu," said Gray, unable to keep his voice steady.

"Y-yeah Gray," said Natsu, his voice equally unsteady.

"A-are y-you scared or s-something? Why d-don't you attack?"

"M-me? W-what about you? Are you c-chicken or something?"

"Y-you wish. I was just g-going to b-be p-polite and let you attack first."

"I w-was going to let you a-attack first."

"If neither of you is going to attack," said Zoro menacingly, "Then maybe I should."

Both Natsu and Gray took a step back at these words. Slowly Zoro drew Shusui from its sheath, its black blade gleaming in the light.

As expected Gray took several more steps back. Natsu, however had a far different reaction. His hands flew to his mouth and nose as if some foul smell was going to make him sick.

"Urk… W-what the hell is wrong with your sword," asked Natsu, his voice slightly muffled by his hands. "It smells like dragons, dead and rotting dragons."

Zoro looked down at his sword before shrugging his shoulders, "It makes sense I guess, I did cut a dragon's head off with it, and legends say that its previous owner also cut the head off a dragon with it hundreds of years ago."

"I-I don't believe you."

"Believe what you want," said Zoro as he sheathed his sword.

"Well done Zoro," said the master now at his side, "you managed to stop without fighting. Impressive."

"Not really," said Zoro lazily.

The sound of metal hitting skull resounded through the room as Erza's gauntleted fist made contact with his head.

"Damn it," yelled Zoro, clutching his head, "What the hell was that for?"

"You will thank the master when he praises you!"

"What gives you the right to boss me around," shouted Zoro at her, "You lost, remember?"

"Did I hear that right," called the voice of young girl from across the room, "Erza lost?"

The other members of the guild moved out of the way to reveal a young girl the same age as Zoro and Erza sitting cross-legged on a bar stool. She had long white hair and was wearing clothes that were similar in style to what Perona wore, only a lot less. On one side of her sat a large boy with white hair with a rather depressed expression adorning his face and on the other side sat a young girl also with white hair. Either they were some sort of gang within the guild or they were siblings. Zoro was betting on the latter.

"My, my Erza," taunted the girl, "You must be losing your touch."

"You don't know what you're talking about Mirajane!"

A malevolent smirk crept across Mirajane's face and her eyes narrowed, "Oh did I touch a nerve little miss training bra?"

"Do you wanna fight," shouted Erza angrily as she stomped her foot out infront of her, fist raised in challenge.

"Oh don't worry Erzy werzy, we'll fight, but first," said Mirajane, hopping from her stool, "Let me get a look at the 'Green Haired Menace' that so easily defeated little miss chivalry."

Crossing the room she made her way in front of Zoro as she looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Oh, he's kinda cute," said Mirajane in a way that Zoro guessed was supposed to be seductive in a girly, immature kind of way. "And that scar," she said as she reached out and ran her finger down the scar over his eye while he stood there stoically his face a mask of stone, "It makes him look like such a bad boy."

"Shut up Mirajane," Erza growled.

"Why," asked Mirajane as she as she turned to face the scarlet haired girl, "Are you upset because you know I could have figured out a way to beat him?"

"There's no way you could have defeated him."

"Oh, let's see about that," said Mirajane as she turned her attention back to Zoro, "Now don't you worry, this won't hurt a bit."

Zoro had to suppress a chuckle at that, "I don't think there's anything you can do to hur-." Zoro suddenly found himself unable to speak. His mouth unable to move with Mirajane's lips pressed against his own.

Zoro's face was now as red as a tomato as he stumbled backwards into a wall unsure of what to do as he struggled to say something, anything.

"That Erza," said Mirajane turning to face her rival, wiping saliva from her mouth as she did, "Is how you do it."

"That was dishonorable Mirajane," said Erza in shock and anger.

"It worked didn't it?"

"That's not the point," shouted Erza. "Zoro," Erza commanded, "get up this instant!"

Zoro was still stunned into a blubbering mess unable to say anything or really do anything.

Chapter End

A/N: So yeah another short filler chapter. I plan to make maybe one or two more filler chapters before I get to what is going on at the beginning of Fairy Tale. Please bear with me I am currently out at sea on the ship I am stationed on and don't get many chances to update but on the bright side Skyrim has lost its appeal for the moment so I have been doing a lot of reading and writing lately so I will be updating more of my stories whenever I get the chance so yeah. i hpe they werent too oc i figured Zoro has never kssed a girl so he might overreact and mira was different when she was younger so tell me if you dont like it and i will try to do better next time. i apologize for the length though.
