Hello again, everyone! It's me, twinSlayer!
I want to express my thanks to EuphiliaKazenoto for pointing out my mistakes and I have edited that one. And also, I almost forgot about Hibiki's title in Weekly Sorcerer's magazine. Thanks again for bringing that one up!
For the other reviewers, thank you very X100 much! Also for the ones who PM-ed me...
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. Mashima-sensei is the one who created it and I only own Reika and the plotlines...
Okay then, off with the story! Enjoy!
"We've arrived!"
Reika jumps off the (deadly) wagon excitedly. She runs into Fairy Tail, leaving Hibiki behind.
"Wait!", shouted Hibiki." There's something you should know..."
The left is unheard as she opens the big door.
"This is-"
BOOOMM! A big crack is formed just beside her standing figure. She is startled.
Hibiki pats her shoulder from behind." Yup, THIS is Fairy Tail."
"Natsu, you moron!"
"Bring it on, icebrain!"
"Fighting is manly!"
"Who dare to step on my cake!"
"Mira! I'm out of booze!"
She watches the scenes happening in front of her with mouth wide agape. Nevertheless, she can sense that this guild is one of a kind.
"So, I'll leave you here, Reika-chan. You can ask around if you want to have the stamp. I'm not familiar with another guild's registration procedures."Hibiki starts to walk back to the wagon. She nods.
"Well then, how about another meeting, pretty damsel?", he gives Reika his famous wink.
-There he goes again-_-:: -
"Okay, firstly, thank you very much for bringing me here. The next thing is, I'm not pretty and it's obvious. Thirdly, stop that flirting, you know it won't work on me. Besides, it made me grow goosebumps", she denies heartlessly.
Again, KABOOM!
-Okay...I give up. She's really an extraordinary one.- He chuckles. -If only the others knew, the Weekly Sorcerer's top' I wish to be my boyfriend' is rejected this harsh...-
Hibiki imagines their faces.-...Pfft. EPIC.-
The wagon starts to move. He watches her as the vehicle drifts slowly back to the main road. Suddenly, something crosses his mind.
-Can she adapt to that kind of surrounding? Fairy Tail parties hard...-
While Reika is waving at Hibiki, a chair from the commotion inside flies to her head. Her face slams down to the ground, hard.
She slowly gets up before explodes," who's the prick that throw this chair?!"
And with that, she joins the 'battlefield' inside.
Hibiki shrugs. -Naahh...she'll fit in just fine...-
After 30 minutes of fighting, the atmosphere seems to calm down in Fairy Tail. Everybody is tired from the survival of the war. Many has long lost in their dreams but Reika stands up and asks the petite bluenette sitting beside her.
" Excuse me, do you know where I can get this guild's stamp?"
She is still panting hard as a result of the commotion earlier." Natsu? What do you want with the guild's stamp? Didn't you already have it?"
Reika blinks."Sorry but I'm not Natsu who-ever-it-was. You must have mistaken me for someone else. I'm new here."
The girl pauses. "Oh, I must be hallucinating because I'm tired." She chuckles. "Sorry. Just find Mirajane at the bar over there."
"Mirajane? Okay, thanks..."
Reika walks towards the bar when she decides to ask the girl's name.
"Excuse me, your-"
The bluenette has fallen asleep.
"-...name...Nevermind."
When she reaches the bar desk, a cheerful barmaid greets her with a beautiful smile.
"Good afternoon! Are you new here? I've never seen you before ...I think", says the woman with short white hair.
Reika grins. "Are you Mirajane? I want to enlist in Fairy Tail."
"No problem, but I'm not Mirajane. She 's my older sister. Wait here for a second, I can get her for you", she replies while clasping her hands.
The white-haired girl hurries to the back of the bar.
"MIRA-NEE!"
"Yes, Lisanna?"
"There's a girl who wants to see you. She wants to join Fairy Tail."
"Hontou? That's great!"
Lisanna giggles. "Ne, Mira-nee. I think this guild will be more happening than ever when this girl joins in."
Mirajane give her a puzzled look. "Why?"
"You'll know why."
They walk together to the bar and see Reika, leaning against the long table. She is facing backwards, making Mirajane unable to look at her face.
"I'm sorry. I've got to resupply some food ingredients just now. So, you want to be a Fairy Tail mage?", Mirajane reaches out her hand to get the Fairy Tail stamp at the shelf.
"Yes", Reika retorts while turning around her body. She's now face to face with Mirajane.
The long white-haired girl freezes. Reika tilts her left eyebrow with a suspicious expression on her face.
"Ooooooohhhhhhhh...", Mirajane forms an amused smile. "Where do you want me to stamp this?"
"Do you have any suggestions?"
"Well, the stamp is considered the symbol of pride for each guild members. They mostly place it at the body parts which they think are sexy. For example, the thigh or chest . The others chose to stamp at the parts where it could be easily seen, like the arm or the back of the palm. There are also some people who want to use the placed stamp as the symbol of themselves. Maybe like the cheek, and also butt..."
Reika shoot out a 'what-the-fish' face. "Butt? What the-", she left her sentence die there as she is speechless by that person's 'unique' thinking.
"Yeah, I was kinda confused too at the first time and can't stop imagining how did this person show the insignia when going to missions..."
...
They sweatdrop.
"Let's just drop this topic, okay?", Lisanna tries to bring them out of their disgusting imagination.
They laugh nervously. "So", Mirajane continues," have you decided on where to stamp this?"
Reika bring her right fingers to her chin, thinking. Her mouth protrude a bit.
-She really resembles him a lot, that childish face when thinking...- Mirajane smiles.
"Has anyone ever tried to stamp at their collarbone?"
Mirajane stiffens, then she forms a pretty smile. "Interesting...So you've decided to give yourself a symbol, eh?"
Reika grins. "Yeah, I want them to acknowledge me as a Fairy Tail mage and also as an incredible water user."
"You're a water mage? Then you have the same magic power as Juvia Loxar."
"Juvia Lockwhat?"
"Loxar...she's a water mage too. You can find her either talking with Gajeel or 'looking' at Gray."
"And who are those guys?"
Lisanna interrupts," Gajeel is the guy with piercings and Gray's the boy who always fight with a certain pinky in the guild. Oh, and he's got raven hair and most of the time, shirtless."
Reika ponders, -Man...this guild is full of wierdos.-
"Okay, the stamp's ready. Come here", Mirajane holds up a glistening stamp.
Reika takes off her black leather jacket and pulls a bit the side of her inner shirt at the round collar. "Here", she points out the place.
STAMP!
The Fairy Tail stamp is dark blue, shining.
"Woow", she is fascinated, "how do you know my favourite color?"
"Ask the stamp", Mirajane jokes.
The sun is setting. Most of the guild members are packing their things and going back home. Reika moves her legs to find a place for her to stay tonight. Mirajane waves at her. "Wait!"
She stops walking. "Yes?"
"Come to think of it, I didn't ask your name back then" Mirajane giggles.
"Oh, the name's Reika."
"Reika...",Mirajane mumbles while nodding lightly. "Where do you plan to stay tonight?"
"I don't know", she chuckles. " Guess I just have to follow my instinct in finding one."
"How about you sleep at my place?"
"Can I? I mean, won't I be bothering you?"
"Don't worry. One night won't hurt."
"If you're okay with it..."
Mirajane puts the wiping cloth in a small pail beneath the table. "Then it's settled. Lisanna!"
Lisanna shows up with a big man following behind her. All three of them are white-haired!
-Sure, they are siblings...I guess that's their brother-
"Reika's staying in our place tonight. So, Elfman", Mirajane glances at him, "please behave."
"STAYING AT FRIEND'S PLACE IS MANLY!"
Reika sweatdrops. -God, what's up with him?-
They walk together to the Strauss' house.
"Your name is Reika, right?",asks Lisanna."Can I call you Rei-chan?"
-Though it sounds like I am a boy...But the name's cool.(except the -chan...)-
"Yeah, you can call me Rei-chan."
"YEAH! THE NAME REI-CHAN IS REALLY MANLY!"
-Bear with it, bear with it, bear with it...- Reika maintains her smiling face although her patience is eroding quickly with Elfman's 'manliness'.
"Reika..."Lisanna mumbles."What's your last name?"
"It's Dragneel."
