Last chapter's summary:
So, Hana joined the guild, Gray overheard… err… was eaves dropping… on Mira, and Hana's conversation, and is stunned. Note: This chapter is about the conversation!
Chapter 4:
Flashback:
"... Hana-chan, how did you meet Gray?" Mirajane asked quietly trying not to catch Gray's attention.
Gray stopped his route towards the fire dragon slayer spontaneously. To not look guilty in eaves dropping he went to the nearest table and sat down putting his head down on his arms which were folded on the table.
Hana continued, "Well, Gray and I lived in the same village… It was so nice in our village in the north… at least… until Deliora rampaged and destroyed it…"
Gray froze. The same village? Deliora?
"Really?" Mira awed. "Tell me about it please Hana-chan."
"Alright, here it goes! How I met Gray Fullbuster"
I was around ten at the time. It was a bright and chilly morning. I was going on with my business walking around the village. I didn't have training that day so, I went for a walk.
"Training?" Mira interrupted.
"I'll get to that."
"Ok. Sorry, please continue."
There was a loud racket coming from the alley and I decided to check it out. As I came closer to it, I could hear distinctive voices and punching sounds. Soon everyone in the alley came into view. Four boys, (all were way taller than me) around the same age as myself, were fighting.
I recognized them as boys from around the village.
There was a red head; he was taller than all of them and was wearing a green jacket .
A blonde was right beside him he had a blue coat.
Also there was a chubby bald kid with a yellow jacket.
All three of them had a pin with an orange blot on it.
The last one had a tough expression (all though he was getting beat up) and raven black/blue hair. His jeans were tattered and dirty, his jacket was grey in color and soaking wet. Although he had a strong build, the other boys were pulverizing him.
I wanted to stop them but he had fallen unconscious, and the other boys left.
I ran into the alley and observed the boy's condition. He was bruised and bleeding everywhere. He had a bloody nose, and his face was swollen. I grabbed for my backpack (I never go anywhere without it) and pulled out the first aid kit to treat his wounds. After I had bandaged him, he slowly began to regain consciousness.
"Who are you?" he moaned.
"None of your business, your all beat up! Your mother must be worried."
"Hey! I know you! You're the oldest daughter of the village fighters!"
"Heh. You know your stuff."
"Of course! But who would expect a midget to be daughter of some big shot?"
"Geh! The height runs in the family."
"Hey shorty! Thanks for patching me up I'll be going now!" the boy said as he stood up to leave.
"But wait your leg is…!"
"Oww!" he fell down clutching his left ankle. "What the…? That hurt!" he yelled.
"You twisted your ankle! Here, lean on my shoulder! Then I will take you to your house. You'll have to tell me where you live though." I said quickly.
He just stared. "You pretty nice shorty!" he said as we walked along.
"Don't call me that." I grimaced.
"Turn left here." he pointed. "There's my house!" he grinned.
I helped him walk up to his door and before I left I asked him what his name was.
"My name is Gray. Gray Fullbuster! And don't you forget it shorty!" That day when I returned home from my walk, I was happy because I had made a new friend!
Flashback end.
"That's very cute Hana-chan. But you didn't explain about the training." Mira pointed out.
"Well like Gray said when I met him, I am the oldest daughter of the leader of guardians for the village. And as part of the guardian clan, the Mizuku's we start our training to be a guardian at a young age. I started my training at the age of 6." Hana explained.
"What type of training?"
"At first it's learning about the clan's genetic powers and studying them like a school almost."
"Oh wow. Your clan had genetic powers?"
"Yep. Then after we studied the powers, we learned the affects and eventually started to train your own powers."
"I see. That's very cool. Did You have any other siblings?"
"My younger brother. We were the only ones, or so we thought, that had survived the attack from Deliora."
"But?"
"We got separated. For a number of reasons that I don't really want to talk about right now. Even to you Mi-chan."
"Oh. Well I understand. Do you want to be shown around town?"
"Of course!"
"Hmm… let me see…" Mira said looking around.
"Ah ha! Gray will show you around!" Mira concluded.
"Huh?" Gray looked up from his position still stunned about Hana.
"But why can't you take me Mira?" Hana questioned.
"Yea! Why can't you take her?" Gray shouted.
"I just don't feel like it. Now go have fun you two." Mira said pushing them out the door.
'I think there is some other reason' Gray and Hana sweat dropped.
"Well then let's go shorty. I'll show you around." Gray grinned.
"Shorty?" Hana raised an eye brow.
"Heh." he chuckled.
"I have a name you know."
"Ya, I know. It's Hana Mizuku."
"Then why don't you call me that?"
"Shorty sounds better."
"Did you remember Gray?"
"Sort of… I was at a nearby table and overheard you and Mira's conversation."
"That's called eavesdropping. *sweat*"
"Whatever."
"At least it's better than nothing."
"I'll remember. Eventually."
"Heh. I certainly hope so."
"Wait a minute!" Gray stopped suddenly and looked down at her feet.
"What?"
"Why don't you have any shoes on? *sweat*"
"Hmm? I usually have black boots on but I took them off. It's much more comfortable."
"How could I not notice that?" Gray mumbled.
"I think walking bare foot is my new habit."
"What? *sweat*"
"Ya. I get a new habit every time I settle in at a new place."
"Oh. *sweat*"
"Well at least I don't go wandering around town with just my under wear on."
"What? Who's doing that?" Gray looked around.
"You. Idiot."
"Oh." he looked down.
"When the heck did that happen?" he muttered.
"Oh well I like walking in my under wear." Gray continued on walking.
"I see. *sweat*" Hana chuckled nervously. Then she started laughing. Gray stared at her then he started laughing. They walked around town laughing themselves silly.
Back at the guild:
"Mira-chan?" Wendy chirped.
"Yes what is it Wendy-chan?" Mira smiled.
"Were trying to set Gray-kun and Hana-chan up when you sent them out together?"
"Uhh… What would you like to eat Wendy-chan?" Mira said quickly changing topic.
'That's defiantly it. *sweat*" Wendy thought.
At Lucy's place:
"Natsu! I told you to bring Gray here, not make him chase you around!" Lucy scolded.
"I hope she didn't discover my plan to fight Gray!" Natsu whispered to Happy.
"Aye!" Happy whispered back.
"I can hear you." Lucy sweat dropped.
"Juvia didn't have any luck finding Gray-sama either." Juvia sighed.
"Neither did I Juvia! But cheer up! Well find him!" Erza boomed.
"Aye!" Happy shouted.
"OOOOOOHHHHHHHH! THIS IS MAKING ME FEEL PUMPED UP" Natsu boomed.
"COME EVERYONE PUT YOUR HAND ON TOP OF MINE!" Natsu shrieked.
"Aye!" Happy agreed.
"OKAY I'LL START!" Natsu shouted.
"LETS!"
"Go!" Lucy smiled thinking that would be it.
"Find!" Happy grinned.
"GRAY!" Erza boomed.
"SAMA!" Juvia ended.
"Aye!" Happy added.
"OOOOOOHHHHHHHH!" Natsu was so pumped up, that he lit his hand on fire. His was underneath everybody else's. Juvia was not affected; Erza reequipped a fire-proof glove as if she knew it was going to happen, Happy flew out of the way but… Lucy's hand was burned.
"NATSU!"
"Oh... Ehhh... I didn't notice..."
After Lucy had finished treating her hand every one left to go to the guild.
Back to Gray and Hana:
"Thanks for showing me around Gray." Hana smiled.
"No problem shorty." Gray smirked.
"If you call me shorty again I'll hit you."
"Heh. Sorry…"
They kept walking until they reached the guild. When they got there, the saw Lamia Scale at the door
and Natsu, Lucy, Erza, and Juvia were coming in from the right. And Hana and Gray from the left, the Lamia Scale people were: Leon, Sherry, Toby, and that weird eyebrow guy*.
"Ah! Those four people at the gate! I've met them before!" Hana shouted.
"What? You've met Lamia Scale?" Gray said confused.
"OOOOHHHH! There you are Gray!" Natsu shouted.
"Aye!" Happy shouted.
"Huh? Who's that girl that's with him?" Erza stared at Hana.
"Another rival in love!" Juvia decided.
"Oh! Lamia Scale is here too." Lucy noticed.
"Look! There is my Juvia! And that bastard Gray." Leon mumbled.
"Look Leon-san, there is that girl we saw earlier. She's here for AI**!" Sherry sighed.
"Oi. You don't make any sense Sherry." Toby yelled.
"Hm. What a coincidence." The weird eyebrow guy* chuckled.
Happy flew up with excitement and noticed:
"It's a triangle!" Happy mewed.
OK! That's the end of chapter 4! Now for the references.
*I forgot the guys name. He was too weird for me so, whenever he came up in the manga, I ignored him.
**Pronounced AYE. Means love like, the serious love. Don't you just love the way Sherry talks? :3
OK! Now for the extra story:
Happy: Yo everyone! It's me, Happy! I have a complaint for the author Hana-san!
Me: What do you want Happy? I need to work on chapter 5 so, this better be quick.
Happy: Why wasn't I in any of the first three chapters!
Me: Your point?
Happy: Make more chapters about me! And I will leave you alone. You have a cats word. AYE!
Me: *Sigh* Happy, your not the main character.
Happy: I'm not?
Me: No your not.
Happy: ...
Me: Now go away. I have work to do.
Happy: If you don't make me your main character, I'll eat all your fish! EEEEPPPP! That's a terrible punishment for you!
Me: *Stare* That's a terrible punishment for a cat. Go help yourself, I don't even like fish.
Happy: WHAT? Who doesn't like fish?
Me: I do.
Happy: Forget it. I'll just sob here in peace.
Me: I've already got a main part for you any way.
Happy: Really?
Me: Yes really. Your a reporter next chapter. Whoops. I wasn't supposed to say that.
Happy: *Suddenly Exited* YAY! What are you waiting for? Go finish that chapter 5! Go! Go! Go!
Me: If you shut up, maybe I will.
Happy: OK!
