To all the readers, HONTOU ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU! :3*bows head 45 degree several times*
I really like Hibiki(so random!) because he was such a good guy and too bad that his lover died. Don't worry, Hibiki!There's someone out there who are much much better than her and deserves you more...
And now, let's continue on with the story...
As usual, all Fairy Tail characters belonged to Mashima-sensei (except the OCs)...
Eve stares at Reika. She is stuffing tons of food into her mouth greedily and chokes after a while. He hurriedly gives her a glass of plain water. Reika grabs it and gulps down the whole water and pauses for a while before resuming her mannerless way of eating. Eve just sweatdropped and thought-she never learn, doesn't she-
They are now at the Blue Pegasus's bar which is 'barmaid'ed by Master Bob himself. Eve ordered a cup of herb tea while Reika asks for any food available there. ''Just give me anything!'', she said while giving her goofy and zero-stress grin.
''So, Reika-san...'' Eve starts the conversation as he sees that no way this woman will stop eating if he did not talk,'' where do you come from?''
Reika is just about to order another plate of grilled fish when he asked. She answered,'' I'm from somewhere around the outskirts of Magnolia.'' Then, she lifted her arms straight to the air and yelled nonchalantly to the 'barmaid', ''Excuse me, another grilled fish please. Thank you!''
Eve secretly hides his worried face. -My Jewels...T^T-
Even though his Jewels are at the brink of bankruptcy, he still insists to know this woman's itinerary. Because he can't always be with her(although he is worried), he will at least entrust her with someone he believed. Yup, she looks too naive to be an eighteen year-old girl. That just shows how gentleman Eve is, worthy for his title as one of the Trimen.
''Oh yeah, Eve...I've got something to ask you.''
Eve turned his head to face Reika. ''Yes my dear nee-chan, anything for you...'', he said with sparkles floating out of nowhere.
Though Reika feels weird by his actions, she just ignores it and asks,'' Do you know where Fairy Tail is?''
Eve is surprised. ''Yeah, I know and may I know why, milady?''
''You see, I thought of going there but I just don't know where to start. I was just walking in the town when suddenly a gang of thugs wants something which I don't really remember. After I finished my business with them(actually more to beat them to pulps...she doesn't say this out loud), I continued my route and after a few kilometers(or so she thought), there's a group of men suddenly grabbed my left arm and saying things like going for one night stand and stuff...I just don't know what to do except escape from them(after she punched them unconscious),and then I met you and I was hoping that you would help me to point out the directions to Fairy Tail...''
Silence fills the air when she stopped her story.

-Okay, that's it!There's no way I'm going to leave her alone after all that!-He shouts in his mind, determined.
-Oh, come on...someone please appear this instance because I've got my own work to accomplish after this.-Eve looks around the guild, hoping to find someone that was happy to lend a hand.
Out of the blue, the guild becomes noisy with squeals of the girls.( Yeah, didn't Eve had mentioned that there are lots of females in Blue Pegasus?)
Two figures of men walk through the guild's door. Eve becomes delighted by their presence while Reika doesn't even bother to turn her head to see who's coming. Yeah, why should she care who that is?- It's not like they are going to escort me to Fairy Tail, right?-
''Reika-san, I want to introduce you to my friends, the other two of the Trimen, Ren Akatsuki (he poses like usual ) and Hibiki Laytis(he winked!(?))...also, Hibiki- san, could you do me a favor?''
Reika heard a soothing voice answers,'' of course, Eve. What is it?''
-Maybe they're not that bad after all-Reika thought.
Eve bluntly retorts,'' since our friend here wants to go to his girlfriend's house after this(Ren: Hey!) , would you help me to bring this young lady here to Fairy Tail? You see, I've got to see Master Bob and Ichiya-sama after this and she can't be left alone in this unfamiliar guild.''
-RRIIIIIIGGHT...So he IS going to escort me to Fairy Tail...Wait! I don't even see his face yet!-
Quickly, Reika turned her head to face a tall, ginger-haired and well-built man wearing a specially-tailored suit. She blinked.
-Woowww...He looked like he just came out of manga!Wait, isn't this IS from manga?...Huh? What am I thinking about ? I just can't be thinking straight right now-
Hibiki stared at Reika, as astonished as her.
-I think I've seen this face somewhere...That slanted eyes, onyx pupil, and ...wait, black hair, GIRL?-
Without them knowing, both of them are staring at each other. Up and down. Several times.
Eve and Ren at the side realize these two people's staring competition and giggle. Ren snaps his finger in front of Hibiki and smiles slyly. Eve interferes, ''you lllllllliiiiiiike her...'', while making a scary smiling face like a Cheshire cat. Only after that, Hibiki snaps back into the real world.
''What?...Oh, it's not like that,'' he retorts. Hibiki steps forward and kneels one leg down in front of Reika while his left hand holds her right palm. He then lightly kisses it and says, ''I was too stunned by your unique beauty that I thought you were a princess...'' He glances at her.
Poker face. She is making a poker face! On top of that, she's unaffected by Hibiki's sweet words! Usually, girls would have fallen head over heels to him.
'' I'm sorry but what are you doing?'', she asks, tilting her head slightly to the right. Clueless.
Boom! ''Our first attempt has failed, sir!'', a mini-Hibiki yells. ''It's okay! Launch our attack no.2!'', another mini-Hibiki wearing sunglasses orders. ''Sir, yes, sir!'', the mini-Hibikis start running here and there to be ready for the next move.
Hibiki clears his throat and starts to talk while suddenly Reika cuts his words before he even have the opportunity to say anything.
''...So you're the one who are going to show me the way to Fairy Tail. Eve, are you sure? This big flirty?''
Kaboom! Again, his move is unsuccessful, and plus, he got labeled 'a big flirty'! A 'nice' first impression. Inside his mind, the mini-Hibikis are all scattered on the ground with injuries on their bodies. Well, they DID got bombed twice...The 'sunglasses'ed Hibiki flags out a white cloth while crawling out of the ruins.
Eve giggles because of the name Reika gave to Hibiki. Nonetheless, it is true.
''Yeah, Reika-san. I hope you wouldn't mind if I take my leave here and give my important task a priority. Besides, Hibiki is not that bad. He's a good friend and nii-chan'', Eve convinces Reika. She needs to be buttressed by some logic reasonings or she will refuse. Reika turns her head around the guild and her eyes are searching for someone.
''Where that tanned friend of yours?''
''He's Ren. I think he already left a while ago,'' Hibiki answers, giving up to continue flirting.
''So, Reika-san. I should get going now and I hope I will see you later. Hibiki-san, please take care of my precious nee-chan or I won't forgive you for the rest of your life'', says Eve with a slight joking sound.
And hence, Eve left those two alone for his work. Reika looks at Hibiki. He also turns to her. Both are silent.
''I think we should get going now...'', Hibiki says while making his well-known seducing smile.
''Ohh...Okay!'', Reika retorts and give him her famous goofy grin.
Reika starts to walk and Hibiki follows her behind. He is a bit stunned by her grin which he considered so wonderful in his eyes. He had never found a girl so naive, like a child. It may sound weird but he is actually blushing right now. Is it true? HIBIKI IS BLUSHING?Without her knowledge, she had stolen the heart of a man.
So how was it, guys? Is it okay? I use herb tea for Eve's choice of drink is because Thylm is a name of a herb and I think that 'Thylm Tea' is not really a good name so I just use the term 'herb'. Besides, I don't even know whether Thylm can be used in drinking or not ^_^::...
And that's the end of chapter 2...Reviews from you guys are the ones that feeds my mind to continue this story so please leave a review (it's optional of course)
The next chapter may evolve around her history so it may be a bit longer...Thank you for reading!:3
