Hi, guys!We meet again!

Phew, schoolworks sure take a lot of my time these days...And there's still a lot to come. -_-:: I shouldn't be muttering these at the beginning of the year...Psshh.

Yeah, thanks again guys for the reviews you left, that kept me alive in the raining homeworks.

Disclaimers: I don't own Fairy Tail! Though I would love to admit that I did create Reika and the story events. Other than that goes to Mashima-sensei.

Let's read!

The next morning...

"Kyaaa!Hibiki-san!"

"He came!"

"My love, Hibiki!"

Hibiki steps into the Blue Pegasus's hall as the girls' deafening screams echoes in the air. He walks elegantly on the red carpet to the stairs where Ren and Eve are standing. Still, he didn't forget to greet the women along his way there which results in higher pitch of shrieks from them.

After some moments of shaking hands and daily questions, Eve asks. "How was yesterday?"

Hibiki looks at him."Why do you ask?"

"Just asking. You must've been hitting on her throughout the journey."

Hibiki smiles. Eve knows him really well.

"Well, I did try but you know...",he pauses. -I can't tell her story to just anybody. I should keep it a secret.- "Too bad. Her heart is as strong as steel. My blades of words can't cut through."

Ren listens intensely before interrupting. "You know, every woman has their own 'boiling' point. No matter what kind of heart they have, they will melt at certain degree", he mutters those words like a proverb.

"Like myself here, I can be considered at a medium level of heat. Eve's at a lower one because you need to train more on your pick-up lines(Eve: Really? Hmm...*cute sad face*). While you...", Ren points out to Hibiki. "You are at the level where you can melt most of the average women's heart. Your maturity is an added value. Girls are easy to understand, Hibiki, but also hard to response the right way at the same time. The wrong step and you'll fall off the cliff."

-The comparison is a bit over-exaggerating...- They sweatdrop.

"But I think the girl from yesterday isn't that high in her boiling point. Maybe I should try on her the next time we met. She may open up to a tsundere more."

Hibiki finds his temper a bit aroused. "Dont-"

-Don't play with her, guys! She's fragile!-

"-I suggest we should just leave her be for the time being", he says instead.

They went silent.

Eve tries to start the conversation again. "Guys, how about we do a simple mission today? The last one was a bit tense."

They nod. When they are about to choose a mission from the board, Jenny appears.

"Hibiki, Ichiya-sama wants to see you."

He turns to her. "Thanks, Jen." He walks past Jenny as the meeting room is behind her.

"You're welcome, honey", she replies with a husky voice, trying to seduce him. But Hibiki just lend her a smile and ignores the attractiveness of the rest.

-Sorry, Jen. I'm taken.-

Knock,knock.

"Sensei? You called?"

Ichiya turns his body to face Hibiki. "Yes, MEN~. Come, sit here."

Hibiki does as he was told and waits for his leader to spout something . He clasps his hands together.

"Actually, MEN~", Ichiya starts while his hands fly to random directions, "our guild was asked to assist a wizard in a quest." He changes his gesture. Sparkles fly everywhere. "As a safety precaution, MEN~, I don't choose women for this one because I can't guarantee their parfum of life if the wizard's a guy. And when it comes to males, there's only five within this building."He changes his hand gestures again( and don't forget the sparkles). "As I smell all of them(excluding Master Bob), only you, MEN~, has a suitable scent for the mission." He points out both of his index fingers to Hibiki.

Hibiki startles. "Why me, boss?"

Ichiya switches his pose and says, "Ren's power are too strong to be a back-up mage. Eve, on the other hand, hasn't really master his snow magic, which may be equally powerful as Ren's if it is used accordingly. Hence, you, MEN~, are the only candidate left as your Archive is intermediately strong and not aggresive."

"Why not yourself, if I may ask, master?"

The leader of the Trimen freezes in his position. Then, he starts to sweat abundantly.

" I...was called by the Council."

Hibiki cocks his brow, sending a telepathy asking the reason.

"Erza...she filed a report of sexual harassment...BUT! I DIDN'T ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING! I JUST ...smell her perfume like usual...What did I do wrong, MEN~?!", he cries.

-If you wanna know, even I would actually do that if you keep smelling me everytime we meet.-, he complains in his mind.

"Then, when will I start this job?", he's a bit eager to do it even though his work is only to be a sidekick.

Ichiya, after overcoming his uneasiness in the stomach, answers, "I will inform you when the mage comes to our guild. For now, you can just go on to other missions with the others."*sparkles*

"MEN~."

Back to Fairy Tail...

She munches her breakfast slowly as she read through the newspaper given by Mirajane. Eyebags is formed under her slanted eyes. Yeah, she had a tough sleep last night...

Flashback

Reika shifted from the lying position to the side. She put her pillow over her head.

SNORE...SNORE...MAN...SNORE...

-Man...Did he have a 'manliness overload' disease or what?- she thought. They weren't even in the same room, still, she could hear his snore. CLEARLY.

SNORE...MAN...SNORE...MAN...

The 'man' word was becoming more and more frequent. She snickered.-Did Mira and Lisanna face this problem every night? Sheesh...They're awesome to ignore this-

SNORE...MAN...MAN...MAN...MAN...

...

...

...

-That's it!- She crept to Elfman's room and...

PUFF!

She stuffed his pillow into his wide-opened mouth.

NNGGAHH...NGANNN...NNGGGHH...

-Now that's better...-she smirked. By the time she tip-toed back to her room, the sun had already showed its sign of oncoming. She stared at the window with madness flashed across her face.

ELFMAN!

Now that he had some beating early in the morning, that would teach him a lesson not to disturb Reika when she's sleepy. Elfman, at the corner of the bar, is now being lectured by his sisters. Something about 'manners when there's a guest' and stuff...Not that she really cares about it though. Her overnight stay has ended and she will never ever EVER have another night there.

"Now", she stretches her hands outwards, "Off to find a nice and comfy home!"

When she walks over her desk to find Lisanna, her shoulder touches with someone else's.

"Sorry", both of them say simultaneously.

They both freezes, staring at each other, endlessly.

"Natsu! Don't leave me behind!", some blonde runs to us with a flying blue cat following close behind.

"Natsu! You owe me a fish from the last mission!", cries the cat.

Okay, something is off here. That blonde is fine. No, not her. That cat? Maybe...Well, it is a FLYING BLUE cat. Does anyone here feel that is a normal thing? Shoving her gaze away from those two, her sight ended up at someone with pink hair. Is that pink? Or salmon? What's the difference anyway?

Natsu also looks intensely at the person in front of him. -I think I had seen this face somewhere before...everytime I looked into a mirror to comb my hair...-

They blink. 1, 2, 3...

EEEEEHHHHHHH?!

Cliffhanger! Hahaha, though I hate cliffhangers, but actually I enjoy doing it too. Yeah, it's karma people, karma.

While this story was being written, I saw Hibiki's picture with Jenny in a wedding suit. I was actually kinda down right now but naahh...who cares...Yeah, that's it! Who cares anyway...*mumbling something**fake tears*

So thanks guys for reading until here. I will greatly appreciate any reviews you left and messages you give. Wait, I have to put some humor here...but I have no ideas. Sorry. Sumimasen. Maaf. Jeosonghabnida...*bows head*

Ja,ne!
