Previously,
"You're cool Gray, (No pun intended) and you kind of saved me. I can't go on with my life and pretend it didn't happen. I am forever in your debt. How about, we... become friends." Hikari smiled.
Gray looked downwards, "I've never had a real friend." He mumbled.
"Me neither. We can work it out I'm sure."
"Alright." They both smiled.
A distant scream was heard in the direction Gray was walking in. the two friends Shared a scared look.
"The village!" they said together. Gray took off running and Hikari was soon to follow. What they saw was completely horrifying.
Cottages were burning, people were screaming and fleeing.
Gray and Hikari had to fight their way to the heart of the city. Gray had a determined look in his eye, "You get people out of the burning homes, and I'll take care of the bastard who started fire." Hikari nodded in agreement. She didn't dare to argue. He had that 'natural leader' feel to him.
Hikari saw a burning cottage on the edge of town. It was more charred that the rest.
"This must be where the fire started." Hikari thought to herself. An 11 year old girl lye unconscious on the front lawn. Hikari glanced behind her and saw magic circle after magic circle appear. "Must be some heck of a battle."
The left side of the house was still burning. The whole left wall was burning.
"Help, Please? Someone, help? Please? My husband."
Hikari decided to save the person trapped inside the burning house.
She ran to her hearts content, only to get trapped by script magic.
"What?" Hikari placed her palms on the sides of the box she was in.
"Now, I have what I want." The box moved. Hikari flew into a wall. The script magic wore off. Gray was all scratched up, and panting heavily.
"Now, now little ice mage. You can't defeat the all mighty Yang.
Gray's eyes widened at this. A magic circle appeared in front of him, and he flew back hitting a destroyed home.
Three people stood at the edge of the village: A man; a woman; the small girl from before. The man stepped forward, "Our village?! We brought you here to find our lost daughter. Not to destroy our village!" his Blue eyes stared daggers at Hikari's captor.
The woman ran to help Gray up out of the rubble he was in. The girl stepped up next to her father.
"Darkness make… CAGE!" A strip of dark magic surrounded Hikari and her captor.
"Yami, there is a child there!" The mother stood over an unconscious Gray a pale gold light surrounded his abdomen.
"She should get out of the way then!" the child retorted.
Hikari could barely breathe, but she whispered, "Light transformation. Moon…" A blinding light broke the child's spell, engulfed Hikari, and blasted her captor and the family.
When Hikari emerged, her hair was curled. What sat atop her head was a singlet made of a glowing blue stone. The inside of the stone swirled with magical energy.
Her clothes changed too. Instead of her beat up old jeans and sweat shirt, Hikari was wearing a pale purple dress, which almost covered the elegant purple sandals she was wearing.
"You ungrateful Child! You come here thinking it is the victim's fault for your behavior!" Hikari faced Yami and her father.
Hikari's had aged. Even though she was 7, she had grown to 5 feet 8 inches. Her voice was an ancient call.
"You!" Hikari pointed to her captor. "You think it's okay to come into another person's home and destroy it. If it's me you want come and fight me! You have no right to be this careless and cowardly! You put shame to your guild and to your family." She reached back and pulled two katana made of the same unknown stone as her singlet.
"Let the rage of the moon goddess herself come down upon you!" She struck as if she was lightning.
One sword cut straight through any remaining black magic. The other sliced her captor's right side causing a black substance to leak from his side.
The man stumbled backwards, clutching his side. "What- What are you?"
"Someone who will bring you to justice."
His face broke into an unnatural evil smile, "Not quite." He pulled a revolver from his cloak.
"What are you doing?" Yami asked. Her father and mother sat in front of her.
He pulled the trigger. The magic bullet ran through 2 people. The father and the mother fell to the ground not moving, or breathing.
Yami screamed. Her eyes pitch black and she sank to the ground.
The man's eyes did the same as he mimicked Yami's motions. He spoke, "Now, my time has come. Nice to see you again Yin." The man's voice was ancient and feminine.
His eyes turned lifeless. His slack jaw opened and a black mist poured out of his mouth and into Yami's. Yami rose from the ground, "Yin, you owe me something. Something precious that you cannot give me. It need to be earned in blood. Your host needs to die. I've changed my hosts too many times. You've changed when your host dies from natural causes. You need to feel my pain! This will not be the last time we meet Yin. Be prepared I will come back for vengeance." With that the black left Yami's eyes, and they became a beautiful blue.
She surveyed the area, saw her parents lying nonmoving bodies, and she ran to their sides.
"Mama? Papa?" She squeaked. "Are you there? Come on, You've gotta get up. We have to go look for Hikari some more."
The purple light, that had somehow been glowing around Hikari, faded. Everything returned to normal.
Gray had been awake the entire thing. From the battle to the transformation back into her original outfit.
"Mama! Papa! Please, Wake up! We have to go! Wake Up!" Yami was shaking her parents lifeless bodies, trying to awake them.
The sky had cleared from the fire and it was now raining.
Yami had sunk over her dead parents bodies. Weeping over their death. Gray gradually stood up, and made his way over to Hikari.
Hikari was looking out over the forest. Some parts were still burning others weren't.
"Hey, um… I'm heading back to my guild. Wanna come?"
"Oh… um…"
Yami rose from her potion, "You." Her voice was sour. "YOU KILLED MY PARENTS!"
Hikari was taken aback from that outburst. She recovered with, "I never-"
"He was here for you! You should have gone with him, and stayed inside that box like you were supposed to!"
"They were my parents too!" Hikari's eyes started to water.
"No! You killed them!"
"I NEVER-"
"SHUT UP! You did this. I will never forgive you. You are the reason my parents are dead. Don't forget it. My sister is dead, she was killed by a dragon. I wanted to take her place, but that stupid dragon didn't take me. 5 years and not a single word."
Yami covered her eyes and with her hand and ran into the woods.
Gray looked at where Yami was, once she was gone he looked back at Hikari and saw her fighting tears.
He outstretched his hand, and placed it onto her shoulder. "My offer is still open."
"Sure, I'll come. There's nothing left for me here." She placed her ungloved hand on his.
He winced.
"Oh, sorry." She quickly put her frayed gloves back on. "Forgot about that little side effect…"
"What was that?" Gray rubbed his sunburned hand.
"I can't control my magic. That's why I wear the gloves."
He created some ice with the last bit of magic he had left. "That's why you wear them. I thought it was a weird fashion statement."
"Nope. When you introduce me to your guild. Don't tell them my real name. Introduce me as 'Light' I don't people to know the real me." She hung her head in shame.
"Don't be ashamed of who you are, but I'll tell them under your request. I still get to call you by your real name, though. It'll be like your nickname from me."
"Okay, you gotta deal. You call me 'Hikari' and I get to call you…" she thought for a moment. "'Snowflake' there that's your new nickname from me."
"Okay, let's get going. The train leaves in a few hours. We have to walk unless you've got some magic to make that light board again?" Gray asked hopeful.
"That transformation takes almost all of my magic energy, and I had used some beforehand. I don't have enough to make a dragon board. I do have enough to sustain a light for quite some time though."
Gray looked downcast. He spoke finally after about 2 minutes of pure silence, other than the rain falling, "Okay, come on let's get going." Gray started to limp away.
Light ran after him, placed her arm under his shoulder, and supported him. "What guild do you belong too, anyways?"
With his other hand he held up his index finger and placed his thumb right next to it, making a pointing up sign. "Fairy Tail!"
