MIRA'S POV
Soon after Natsu and Lucy left I saw Ayane sneak down the stairs. She was wearing nothing but a pair of short shorts, her boots, and wrappings covering her breasts.
"You!" I pointed to her. "You need to get back up stairs." She looked at me smirking.
"Oh come on Mira." She said walking to the bar, drawing Gajeel and Levy's attention, plus a few other mid day guild members.
"What are you wearing?" Gajeel said eyeing Ayane's revealing attire.
"Oi calm down metal man. You can't tell me what to wear." She said sitting down at the bar and putting her hair into a bun. You could see her guild mark and her scar running down her back. Gajeel cringed as he saw the mark he had made on his sister.
"Don't be a sissy!" Ayane spit out."You did it, we all know. I don't care anymore, it's in the past. Let it go." She said putting her head down. "Mira~~ could I get a beer? Pretty please~?" She said in a sing song voice.
"No! It's bad enough you're down here, but I am not giving you any alcohol." She said scolding Ayane like a child.
"That's not a good idea Mira-san nee-san likes her alcohol." Kyoske said walking up to the bar.
"Hey nee-san, Mira can me and Romeo go on this job he said holding out a paper to them. Mira looked at the sheet and nodded. Ayane took the sheet and read it carefully.
"Yeah you should be able to handle a bunch of weak bandits." Ayane said. Kyoske lit up like a kid on christmas. He hugged Ayane and ran over to Romeo who was waiting at the front doors, then left.
"Hey Ayane?" Levy said examining Ayane's scar."You never really told us how you survived from this. From the look of the scar the blade went pretty deep." Ayane sat up and turned towards Levy smiling.
"Oh you wanna know?" She said grinning."Your mate right here"she pointed to Gajeel "isn't exactly the brightest dragon slayer. Ya see when he struck me down he was aiming for my heart. But he's an idiot and got the wrong side." Ayane started to laugh."Seriously." She said looking at Gajeel. "How do you miss a heart?" She said still laughing. Gajeel grumbled and looked down at his tankard.
"Yeah but you still would have bled out very quickly." I said frowning.
"Well after Gajeel had left a woman who was out walking found me. She brought me back to her home and nursed me back to health. Sometimes I still send her cards or money. I think she has kids now." Ayane said starng into space. Probably remembering the woman."I didn't stay with her too long I didn't want to be a burden, so I left and started searching for my dragon. Sadly I never found her. I was thinking of visiting her soon. It's been years. You would have liked her Gajeel she is like Mira but more motherly (if that's possible). Her name was Amaya." Ayane said as she was remembering Amaya.
"That's around the time I found Kyoske I think. He was so small and cute." Ayane grinned thinking of a baby Kyoske. Then she frowned, remembering when she found him.
(Flash back)
It was a cold winter day, snow starting to dust the ground. I walk around an almost empty park. I walk over to a giant Sakura tree and sit down. I rest my head against the tree and close my eyes. I hear a faint cooing and my eyes jolt open. I look around me but don't see anything, I hear the noise again. I get up and look around the tree. On the other side I see a basket. I walk over to the basket and lift the blanket already knowing what is inside but still hoping it wasn't. But it was, inside the basket was aninfant, not more than a few days old. My eyes start to water but I stop myself from crying, I pick the little baby up and held him against my chest.
"Hi there little guy" I said to him in my sweetest voice."I guess were both unwanted huh?"
He let out a small whine but otherwise stayed silent. I looked around for a note or a piece of paper. I wish I didn't find it. There was a small note that almost brought me to tears.
"I never wanted a baby.
It's yours now."
I started shaking with what I thought was a mix of rage and sadness. I remembered that I had a baby on me. I looked down at him and put my finger out towards him.' I can't take this baby. I have to get stronger.' Then the baby took hold of my finger. He had a strong grip, I didn't pull my finger away from him.'Yes I can.' I thought
"What should I name you little guy?" I asked him."What about Rin?"
The baby didn't make any sounds.
"Uh… Shion?" Still nothing. " Oh come on. Fine what about Kyoske?"
The baby let out a coo and I new he liked it."Okay Kyoske welcome to the family. It may just be me but I will make sure that you are loved, taken care of, and I will definitely never let you feel unwanted. Never."I whispered into his ear.
