Guess who just got their computer back from repairs! (Even though it's late D-:)
Here is Chapter 13!
Chapter thirteen.
The cloaks had two advantages.
They hid your body from perves.
They hid your identity.
Those were the reasons the entire guild had decided to wear them in their Status colours. Lucy and Onix had theirs in silver since a royal cloak couldn't be made whilst Ruki, Rosie, Memory, Liz, Anya, Princess, Eden, Iris, Angeline and Venus all slung the specially tailored, white material over their bodies.
In front of them was an amazing sight. Something similar to the Coliseum stood before them, with lights flashing in multiply directions as magical tests were held inside.
Smiling, Onix grabbed Lucy's hand and ran through the doors and went face to face with three other guilds.
"Hey, who'd you think they are?" Onix asked tipping her head towards a crowd of what seemed like blathering idiots.
The hidden blonde scowled slightly, "I think that's Fairy Tail" It came out as a harsh trail of words that people used to try to sour milk early.
The bluette couldn't help but smirk madly, "Well this should be fun"
The sound of someone tapping a microphone echoed through out the Tournament House.
"Guilds! Thank you so much for attending the Guild Tournaments, and to celebrate, I would like to hold a dinner meal for all!"
Onix couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. What the hell was that? Lucy had similar thoughts and actions as the Saints stepped in to the arena. And then, as if a curtain had been lifted, the eyes of the three other guilds snapped towards them. Slightly insulted, Iris and Memory huffed alongside Ruki and Princess. Eden was reading her book in the seating area, which made Anya wonder how she'd got up there.
"What?" Lucy and Onix snarled. They'd decided to talk in two's so that no one could distinguish their voices and put a face to them.
Surprised by the sudden noise which no one could place since the cloaked people's hoods covered their eyes and almost their mouth. A small man walked towards them from the group of stunned people and spoke after letting out a soft cough so they knew he was talking.
"I don't think I recognise your guild. Who is your master?" The person had on an orange and blue joker suit which seemed to tick Lucy off further. You probably guessed it already, it was Makarov.
.
A certain Eden and made her way out of the area dominated by white cloaks and made her way in front of Fairy Tail's master.
"Scram pipsqueak. You aren't welcome here"
Lucy laughed softly as her brown eyes flickered over to her past friends who seemed even more paralyzed as Eden strutted back to beside Iris who didn't bother containing her outburst of giggles. She gave a cold smile that they noticed and instantly frowned.
Makarov sent a glare towards the retreating girl and spoke again, losing the polite façade, "All I want to know is where your master is"
Nodding to each other, Lucy and Onix took a step closer to the annoying manchild.
"I think you mean Mistress'" They spoke in unison as his jaw dropped. Of all people, it had to be a woman. Makarov had a rule, never would he fight a girl.
It had to get worse, it really had too. Lucy groaned as a familiar pink-headed boy came to his master's aid.
"We're Fairy Tail" Natsu stated, crossing his arms and looking fierce. Fake, the blonde thought smugly.
"Oh we know" Onix replied copying his stance.
The Fire Dragon Slayer smiled at her statement, "So you've heard of us?"
"Of course, you're notorious for destroying cities and throwing out guild members" The Hex dispeller said, returning the facial expression. Her voice had been sickeningly sweet.
"Throwing out...We've never done that!" Somehow, Erza had rejected the team and joined in on the argument that was sure to come.
A feeling of warmth spread through Lucy's stomach as she soon recognised it as betrayal. So they'd forgotten her? Not even a fragment remained of her presence being with them, being their friend? Clenching and unclenching her fists she spoke with her emotion lacing her tone.
"Oh really? I could have sworn we had a certain blonde visit us two months ago...What was her name again?" Lucy clicked her fingers repeatedly, pretending she was in deep thought, "Lucy? Lucy Heart...something"
With widening eyes, Natsu snapped his neck towards the woman with the silver coat.
"How do you know Lucy? Where is she?"
Smirking with satisfaction, the blonde merely shrugged her shoulders, "Said she wanted help and my friend here" She gestured to Onix, whom was already shaking from controlled laughter, "Offered her a spot in our guild"
XxXxX
The Bluette grinned as she opened the hotel room she and Lucy would be sleeping in. Never had the thought of Lucy being manipulative crossed her mind. Fairy Tail's faces had been struck with curiousity and shock as they'd turned to leave the arena.
With a polite bow, she told Lucy to go in first.
"I'm going for a shower first!" The Celestial Mage said, running to the door and locking it behind her. Onix began to pat herself down as she realised with horror that she'd forgotten her purse in the Tournament House. With a groan she called out "I'll be back in a bit!" And exited the suit and the hotel all together.
.
They weren't far from the circular, Coliseum-like building thanks to Rosie who knew every good hotel spot. It was just far away, so they could lose anyone who had taken it upon themselves to follow them and yet was close enough to reach within ten minutes.
Kicking a stone, she found herself in front of the very place she wanted to reach. Onix opened the double doors and left the dark, kind of creepy, streets behind her.
She raked a hand through her mane of blue hair and entered the arena, only to be forced to hide as another figure came into view. Moonlight bounced off him and a small frog...thing as they practiced magic. A blush crept its way onto Onix's cheeks, heating her up. Never had the bluette ever reacted this way...Never!
Quietly, the Hex Dispeller made her way towards the door when the thought of her purse lying somewhere in this place alone made her stop.
"Um...Excuse me?" Onix said softly, turning to face the boy with light blonde hair.
He had his back to her and seemed not to have heard her as he lit his fist alight with a white flame.
"Hello~" She spoke louder and stepped forward slowly. Frustrated that he still didn't acknowledge her presence, Onix screamed at the top of her lungs.
I'm so happy I have my PC back! :-D It was killing me, not able to update, but I'm back~!
So, who d'you think this boy is? *Eye brow wiggle*
Thanks for reading!
Bye~!
-Kai-chan!
