Chapter 7
Ren stared off into the distance. He couldn't comprehend the words spoken to him."…..What did you just say? It can't be…mom can't be dead.." Ren mumbled in disbelief. Ayame looked down and tears started rolling out of her eyes. "It's true! And you know who killed her? Dad did!" Ayame screamed. When Ren heard her answer, Ren came out of his shock and turned furious. Ren stood up, "That bastard! I knew he would of done something like this! Just….just not at mom…" Ren broke down in tears facing the reality of the situation.
Ayame stood up and held his hand, both shaking with tears. All you heard was sniffles from both of them until Ren spoke in a hard tone, "When did this happen?" Ayame let go of his hand and looked down. "About halfway into my training, it was during winter. I remember I was outside the house training, and then all of a sudden… I heard glasses shattering in the house." Ayame spoke as her body trembled. "Next thing you know, I see mom on the floor with her head bleeding." Ayame spoke with wide eyes as if she was reliving that moment again.
Ayame remembers vividly on what happened that day. Her father always had a severe drinking problem, and whenever he was like this he would do anything he likes, and the next day he won't remember a thing. Ayame scoffs, how convenient for him she thought. He doesn't have to live with the guilt of what he's done to his family.
Back when his drinking wasn't excessive, they were a happy family. Believe it or not Ayame was a daddy's girl when she was little. He would always play with her when he would come back from work even though he must have been really tired. On good days, the whole family would have a trip to the city and have a normal family outing. It's really hard to understand why things ended up this way.
Ren noticed that she was spaced out for a while now. "Ayame you okay?" Ren asked warily. Ayame broke away from her past, and remembered she was with Ren. She looked up to Ren and smiled gently. "I'm glad that at least you're with me right now. I won't know what to do if you left me too." Ayame spoke gently. Ren gave her a smile, "I'll never leave you again Ayame. We're siblings for a reason. We have to stick together." Ren spoke pulling Ayame into his embrace. After a while they separated. "Are you sure you don't want to join Blue Pegasus? If you join we can always be together!?" Ren asked.
"I want to be with you oniichan. But it's just I want to be able to draw out my full potential, and I think if I stay with you I won't be able to. I trained for 10 years and I know I can handle anything by myself, so I really want to join Fairy Tail! Will you let me oniichan?" Ayame asked. Ren couldn't help but smile at his little sister's silly request. "Of course! I'm your brother you don't have to ask me to do what you want to do." Ren ruffled her hair up. "Mou! Oniichan! I actually style my hair! You can't just touch my hair without permission!" Ayame pouted. "Gomen gomen! You're just so cute Ayame. I missed you so much." Ren hugged her again. Ayame hugged him back, and their faces were full of bliss.
Gray opened the door to the room only to find the siblings hugging each other. 'Again? What a touchy family they are.' Gray thought to himself. Although Gray really wanted to grab Ayame out of Ren's arm and drag her out of this hellhole, he decided to be the gentleman he was and left the room and decided to head to Master Bob's office to deliver his message from gramps. Little did Gray know, Ayame did notice Gray's entrance, but silently thanked him for his exit.
However, their sappy moment was ruined bye Ayame's inevitable hunger sounding from her stomach. Ren laughed, "You have not changed at all Ayame! You're still the hungry little sister!" Ayame smirked, "Don't be jealous of my stomach oniichan. My stomach is always welcoming food into the body." They giggled away at Ayame's weird remark.
They headed downstairs to grab some food. Ayame sat down with a huge plate of food. All the mages in that room all murmured with excitement. They never knew about Ren's secret little sister, so they were pushing each other to get a better view of her.
Ayame sat down at the table with Ren and Gray with her plate piled mountain high with food. She started scarfing down the food like no other. Ren laughed at the sight, glad to see she has not changed one bit. As the pile began to decrease the people surrounding her increased. The guild mates stood in awe, as her pace of food did not halter.
"Damn…. this girl eats…"whispered one of the men surrounding her. After a couple more minutes, her plate was squeaky clean. She let out a quick burp and gave a cute smile. "Alright! Gray I'm ready for our fight!" Gray stood up immediately and took off his shirt. "Hell yeah lets go right now!"
They both got off their chairs and ran outside. Gray was already in his ice-make stance, while Ayame just stared at his unusual stance. "You better get ready if you don't want your ass to get whipped." Gray mentioned. Ayame giggled in a provocative way, "It's okay just come at me." Gray took her advice and launched. "ICE-MAKE LANCE!" His icicles launched directly at her. Everybody thought the icicles would impale her body, but it never reached that conclusion. In fact, the icicles never reached her body. Gray's eyes widened as he tried to understand what just happened.
Ayame stood with her hand in front of her; she made a circle with her hand and brought her hand in front of her face. She gave her hand a quick blow, and her magic circle appeared, swallowing Gray's icicles. As quickly as her magic circle appeared, it quickly disappeared.
Ayame smirked at the silence, "Is that all Fairy Tail's got? If Fairy Tail is this weak, maybe I should go to Blue Pegasus with oniichan." Ayame taunted Gray. Gray took a quick glance at Ren, only to see his arrogant smirk, obviously happy about his little sister's statement. Gray smirked, as he looked back at Ayame, "Of course not I'm just testing your strength. Didn't want to blow you away on the first move."
"Well you don't got to worry about that. Just come." When Ayame stated the last two words, Gray couldn't help it but take that as an erotic statement. "Alright then, I won't hold back. I'll beat you and drag you back to Fairy Tail, so we can do what we promised afterwards. If you know what I mean.." Ayame knew what he meant, and she was just as excited as he was about it. She tried to suppress her sexual needs so she can focus on her battle with Gray, but it doesn't help that Gray's gorgeous body is being shown in front of her. His gorgeous six-pack abs glistened in the sun, as if it were begging for her to lick them. Ayame's erotic thoughts started rolling and she couldn't stop them.
Gray noticed the way her eyes were ogling his body, and decided it was his chance to beat her. He snapped his fingers and all of a sudden ice cuffs were flying towards Ayame. The ice cuffs snapped onto her wrists, and flung her body to the guild wall. Ayame realized she couldn't budge from the wall, and looked up at Gray stalking towards her. When he finally stood in front of her, he gently grabbed her chin and made her look up at him. He inched his face closer to her face. She closed her eyes as if she was ready for her kiss with Gray. But the kiss never came. Instead his lips came to her ears. He took in her smell and spoke in his low voice. "Do you remember our promise?" Ayame shivered at his voice resonating throughout her body. It took her all her power to stop her shivers and give him one of her seductive looks. "I don't remember a promise, but I remember a really bold statement. You said you were going to dominate me right? Well what are you waiting for?" she said as she bit her lower lips. Gray put his lips lightly on her neck and chuckled, "You're absolutely right. I'll reward you for remembering." He blew hot breath onto her neck, making her skin prickle and her lower mouth watering. She kept rubbing her legs together, hoping the friction would be enough to satisfy her sexual needs, but obviously it wasn't. Ayame was ready to get fucked.
However, Gray pulled back and dissolved his ice cuffs on her wrist. "Let's head back to Fairy Tail now. Unless you have some unresolved issues you would like to tend to now, in front of your brother." Gray spoke calmly, but emphasized on the last two words. Ayame totally forgot about the original purpose they were outside together. She looked towards where her brother and his guild mates stood, and she can definitely tell that they were enjoying the show that was in front of them. Well, everybody except her brother. Ren literally looked like he was going to explode. The only reason he had not interrupted their feisty performance was because everybody in the guild was holding him back, so they could enjoy the free show.
Ayame was so embarrassed of herself she wanted to get the fuck out of this place. "Okaay…wow…yeah let's get out of here before oniichan decides to murder you." Gray smirked at her remark, but you can tell his eyes were still focused on one thing, and one thing only. Ayame felt uncomfortable under his gaze, but at the same time felt hot and wanted by him.
Ayame said her goodbye to her brother, gave him one last hug, and exchanged lacrima information so they can keep in contact with each other. Ayame walked back towards Gray's side as she waved goodbye to Blue Pegasus. "Why do you and your brother always have to have long hugs?" Gray asked. "Well first off we haven't seen each other for ten years, so obviously we are being more sentimental than usual." Ayame spoke as she finished waving to them. "What's the second?" Gray questioned. Ayame giggled and skipped ahead of Gray, "He just gave me a stern warning about how if ANYTHING were to happen to me, he would hunt you down first." She mentioned casually. Gray sweat dropped but continued to follow after her. "But it's fine, I'm stronger than you anyway, so I can take care of myself!" Gray's eyes widened at the challenge, "Whoah whoah whoah…whose ass just got beat in front of her brother?"
"My ass did not get beat! I was just distracted for a little bit, and you caught me off guard." Ayame mentioned the last part under her breath. Gray caught her arm and pulled her towards him. "Your ass did get beat, and I can make sure it can happen again." He brought his lip to her ear and bit her ear lobe; "…literally" he whispered the last word. Ayame felt her legs grow weak. She would have fallen to the ground if it weren't for Gray holding her arm. "Told ya!" he smirked and picked her up princess style, and walked down the hills into the city.
