P.O.V Gajeel

I didn't know what was going on... but i really didn't like it. My little sister, my angel of hope, someone that is as strong as iron was shedding a river of tears and hugging me as if there was no tomorrow... I still remember when i first saw her:

I was coming back from a mission for Phantom Lord's guild. At that time i was fifteen years old- Those weak and pathetic bastards thought that only because i was young they would be able to defeat me!- i growled angrily "Who they think they are? I'm the Bloody Iron Dragon Slayer! The rest are ants compared to me!". I continued cursing under my breath until i smelled the familiar metallic odor of blood, normally i would have left that sorry excuse of human to die there but there was something different with this type of blood... it smelled very similar to mine. I walked towards where the smell was coming from and found a little girl behind some bushes, she had her stomach perforated as if something had crossed through her. The smell was stronger... this time i was sure, she had some of my blood in her veins "Why?" i asked myself confused while picking her up, careful to not hurt her more than she was already "I thought i was alone in this world" i carried her to the nearest hospital in which she was immediately placed into surgery.

-Ex xcuse m me s sir- a nurse stuttered, at that time i already was well known for my blood thirsty attitude- W what re lation s ship do y you have w with the g girl i in surgery?- i growled annoyed and angry making her shiver in fear.

I glared at the floor and finally decided what i was going to do- Make a blood test of me and her, i want to know if we are related- i ordered but when i looked up i only found a very shock nurse- What are you waiting for?!- i barked and she run away scared- Gihi!

I waited for two hours until the red light, that announced that they were in surgery, turned off. For a strange reason i had been shaking in my seat... as if i were concern for that little girl... but why? I had never met her before, she is just a weakling and i'm the cold hearted Iron Dragon Slayer! Gihi... Then why did i feel as if i was going to die if her heart stops beating? Why?- Gajeel Redfox- a doctor called out, stepping out of the surgery room. I jumped from my seat causing him to freak out "Gihi! Everyone is afraid of me... i like it"- T the g girl survived t the sureger ry.

-What happened to her?- i demanded furious "Why was she so injured?!".

-A poison ned b blade perfora ated her!- he shirked "A poisoned blade?... How did a little girl like her got herself into a problem like that?... she is though..." i smirked warmly "As any other Redfox"- Mr Redfox- the doctor's voice brought me back to reality. I glared at his confused stare "I'm not happy because she is alive!... I can't be!"- T the b blood r results a are ready- "That is interesting"- S she is y your half s sister, from y your father's s side- "S sister?... she is my little sister?..." i noticed that my confusion was shown in my face cause the fear from the doctor's face changed into gentleness. I frown by it... nobody had ever shown me such kindness... it felt strange... not bad! But i was afraid... afraid of being without it- Would you like to see her?- he asked sweetly. I growled at him "No one talks like that towards the Iron Dragon Slayer!" but he didn't even flinch- It will make her heal faster.

-What is all that bluff about?!- i barked- She won't heal faster just because i'll be next to her!

-She will- the man stated with so much confidence that made me step back "Why isn't he scared?... Is his concern for his patients this big?..."- If she feels her family near it will give her the strength to keep on going.

-T that's i impossible- I stuttered "I'm not going to break down in front of him... or anybody!"- She isn't my family! I don't have family!- i shouted angrily... but he didn't flinch... again.

-Now you have- his voice was strong and clearly- You aren't alone anymore.

That made something in me break, the doctor hit just the right spot- Can i see her?- my voice was almost inaudible, but he heard and guided me inside the room he came out from. There she was, leaning on the hospital's room sleeping peacefully. Her short purple hair was brushed and cleaned from any blood that once had... however, i still was able to smell it... all over her body... there it was to remind me that she almost died- You were the one that saved her, weren't you?- i asked the man i talked with just a minute ago, but my sight never left her sleepy face.

-You were the one that choose to bring her here i just did my work- he calmly answered my question while i was sitting down next to her. I could feel the smile on his face but this time i didn't care cause the relive that i was feeling was way too strong for me to understand it- I once read that Dragons are animals of a very protective instinct. They'll do anything for their family and mate, and if something happened to them they'll go crazy... they'll have a missing piece in their hearts.

I smiled at the doctors words and caressed my little sister's injured cheek- Thanks- i gasped "So she is my family... i'm not alone anymore... she is the hope i was looking for... the hope that will take me out of this disgusting and fucking solitude" only when i heard the door closing i let myself cry "I'll find the ones that hurt her and make them pay!".

And here we are five... well twelve years later if we count Tenrou Island. I have her crying in my chest, after swearing not to- Hope please answer me!- i begged desperate. I couldn't watch her like that... she was always the strong one... emotionally of course "Although she is a strong mage too, after all she is a Redfox. She has the strength in her veins"- What happened to you?

-I f fell i in love t that happened!- she bawled.

I opened my eyes as wide as plates "L love?! She is in love!... And she has her heart broken..." i could feel a deadly aura surrounding me... however, she was first "I'll kill that bastard later"- How did you meet him?- i asked her. Recalling the talk she gave me when she found out about Metalicana, Hope told me that if you talk about the memories of the person you miss or you are angry with helps you a lot.

P.O.V Hope

I would have giggled, if i weren't so broken, when i heard his question "So he remembers that night":

It was a cold afternoon of autumn and i was shopping cause the fridge in home was empty. I opened the freezer of the supermarket and took two packs of six cold beers and putted it in the shopping cart. You might be questioning yourself, how is it possible that a little girl of seven years was buying beers? Well the answer was simple... Gajeel Redfox my big brother- The total would be 100 jewels- Octavio, the manager of the supper (who was replacing a sick employee), told me. I giggled and handle him the exact change "He is costumed to me... well it had been two years since i moved in with Gajeel". I took my bags and headed towards our apartment "I'll prepare him his favorite meat!" i smiled happily cause he was returning from a one month long mission and i missed him a lot.

However, my happiness was soon replaced by rage and fear when i began to sense bad emotions following behind me- She is the little sister of Kurogane Gajeel- one voice said.

-Impossible she too sweet!- another man exclaimed "If you only see me fight... i'm as cold hearted as Onichama if i wanted!"-Well it doesn't matter she is cute, even if she wasn't Gajeel's sister we could still rape her- the owners of those bad emotions laughed evilly.

I knew that they weren't close and that they won't attack me at that moment but i needed to start acting. I was still young and unprepared "But i wouldn't be a Redfox if i weren't strong enough to defend myself". I began to reach out for the evil emotions: arrogance, vengeance, avarice, selfishness, lust, rage, etc. In some they were strong... while in another's not that much. I used their own emotions to make them faint, one by one until only two were left which suddenly appeared in front of me. "I was so focused in the emotions that i didn't notice them move, Onichama would be very disappointed with me" one took a magic gun and pointed at me, the people surrounding as began to panic but didn't move afraid of being shoot by accident... or not. "Perfect that fear is what i need, the emotion fear gives me explosions powers so as soon as he shoots i'm going to make his gun blow!... The only thing i need is to make him angry, and i'm good at that".

-Is she a dragon slayer too?- the one with the gun asked.

-No, for that she should have been raised by a dragon- the other one answered, she was a woman, "Raised by a dragon?... was Onichama raised by a dragon? Hope no time for thinking you have your opportunity now".

-You are after me and you don't even know what kind of magic i use, pathetic- i scoffed imitating my Onichama's voice as better as i could... and it was a good imitation.

-As arrogant as your brother- the man spatted.

-Arrogant but intelligent, something that by what i see you are not- i smirked and though "I won!" when i heard a gun shot... which soon was replaced by an explosion sound- Ah!- i groaned hitting the floor a yards away "I didn't measure the power... but at least i won against them".

-Fucking bitch!- the woman yelled at me, taking me by the hair- Wondering how i escaped?- she scoffed when she noticed my wide open eyes- Teleporting magic, i did my investigation. Now i'm going to torture you for months and then kill you slowly with a poison, maybe with that the Redfox family will learn to not mess with our guild!- i was at the edge of tears but didn't shed anyone. Crying was to weak ones, that was what Onichama always say in our trainings in which he rather is kind of rough for a seven years old girl... but they pay off... at least until now "I don't want to die!".

And is if he heard my beg, Onichama appeared- Iron Dragon's Cub!- he punched the woman until she died. There were a few cries of fear in the crowd but i Onichama was only looking at me, searching for injuries. Despite of the circumstances i wasn't happy... i was sad and regrateful cause i had just killed someone. I'm not talking about the woman, she was killed by Onichama, i meant the man of the gun... the explosion was way too big... he couldn't survive it- Don't worry about that bastard!- he growled at me, throwing me over his shoulder and start walking home with the shopping bags in one hand- I would have killed him as the ones you fainted, by the way well done you are getting stronger- he praised.

I let myself flash a small smile, you aren't praised by Gajeel Redfox all the time, and i knew that... i knew that too well. He is an iron dragon slayer after all... which reminds me- Onichama were you raised by a dragon?- his tensed and his hold tightened ยก- You were!- i accused him- Where is he? Why didn't i met him yet?- my questions were curious and innocents as any other kid at my age would ask... but he didn't know it... for him i was just annoying. I noticed that... but not soon enough.

-Shut up!- he just yelled and i did as he told me. Cause it wasn't the right moment... not yet. I waited until night to talk with him- What do you want?!- he snarled on the couch. I sighed "He is still mad... why is he so sensitive about this issue?".

-How did you met your foster dragon father?- i asked dodging the flying beer he threw me- That wasn't necessary- i noted a bit annoyed.

-It was!- he argued back- I told you to shut up and you didn't!

-I'm only tying to help! If you talk about it, those fucking sad emotions i feel inside you will calm down- i told him.

-How do you know something like that?- he asked silently gazing the floor. I could see in his eyes and the aura that his emotions were emanating that he was angry, sad, broken and felt betrayed.

I smiled sadly and hugged his waist- Cause i'm a fucking bloody Emotion mage Onichama, that's why- i simply said smiling up at him. He wasn't gazing the floor, not anymore, this time he had a half smile on his face and his gaze was locked with mine.

That was the night that he opened his heart to me... the day that i promised myself to bring happiness to his life, and i did. He stopped killing, torturing and a lot of other things. He opened a little bit more towards Juvia and Totomaru, he smiled more and also laughed "Only with me... but that counts too" as well as one day that he was about to have sex with a chick Onichama stopped cause i told him to wait for the right one... and now he has her. Even though he is worried for me i could see in his aura that he was very happy... like in peace "He must have confessed" i smiled with pride "At least he did... if he opened his heart to me... why don't i do the same?"- This is how it all started...
