Chapter 2: Welcome to the Team!

*knock knock.

I knocked on Juvia's door. I stepped back right after knocking. I turned to Sachi. Her other hand was on her mouth then I looked down.. Wha?! I'm still holding her hand! I didn't realize it! But, why is she keeping quiet about it? I thought she didn't like-

"Um.. Gray?" I turned and saw Lyon open the door. He looked at our hands. My eyes narrowed as I realized what he just saw. We immediately pulled our hand off each other's.

"Uh.. Hi Lyon." I acted like nothing happened. He laughed then opened the door wide.

"Get in." He's teasing me! Ugh. He doesn't understand the situation here! We sat at the couch. Juvia went out and sat with us while Olyvia was asleep in her crib.

"Um, this is-"

"I'm Hamazura, Sachi. I just joined Fairy Tail." She smiled.

"Nice to meet you. Juvia desu." She introduced.

"And I'm Lyon." He raised his hand.

*knock knock

We all turned to the door.

"Papa! It's me!" Buster said. Lyon rushed to open the door.

"Gray and Sachi are here? Hi Sachi-san!" He smiled and sat beside her and his mother.

"Why are you alone?" Juvia asked.

"Buster went back to Gajeel after Gray introduced me to Sachi but he told me to go home!" He pouted his lips.

"Oh yeah. Gajeel didn't really enjoy being with him." I added.

"Well, I'm glad you got home safe. I'll have to talk to Gajeel about this!" She was worried.

"Juvia, I just say this guy and Sachi holding hands." WHAT?! DOES HE HAVE TO BLURT IT OUT PLAINLY?! UGH. THIS IS BAD. Sachi and I were both silent.

We were both embarrassed and annoyed with Lyon. Juvia gasped as she heard him. She smiled then pulled Sachi away. Lyon just laughed then sat beside me. Sachi looked at me with the 'what-the-hell-is-going-on' look on her face. I shrugged my shoulders telling her that I don't know either. Are they setting us up because I desperately need a girl?! It's not like that!

"Are you two dating?" Lyon laughed.

"Wha-NO! I just met her!" I immediately denied.

"Then, why are you ho-"

"She held my hand! When we were at the guild, she said she wanted to meet Buster's parents then she just pulled me out of the guild! Then.. I unconsciously held her hand as I led her here!" I said.

"Unconsciously? Really? That's stupid Gray." He laughed again.

"Yeah, Unconsciously! It just moved on its own! She didn't want guys to touch her at all. She beat me up the moment I put my arms around her!" Wait, WHY DID I SAY THAT?!

"You put your hands around her?"

"No- I mean- yes, but no! You wouldn't understand."I gave up. It's hard to explain when he's trying to push me to Sachi!

"Tell me exactly what happened." He was smirking. I hated it. I just wanted to punch him but it was his place so calm down..

"Okay. This afternoon, I bumped into her. Then she saw my mark and said she wanted to join the guild. So as a friendly person that I am, I put my arms around her to lead her there but she suddenly beat me up! So I had to distance myself as we walked. Then when we reached the guild, she got in then the old man told me to guide her since I was the one who brought her in. So they partied then I saw Gajeel and Buster come in. I introduced him to Sachi. Then he suddenly said that we were like his 'Mama and Papa' then this girls told him that he's the baby! Of course it felt awkward. You know? Then later she said she wanted to meet you guys then there." I was speaking too fast. I don't know why. It's so stupid.

"Then why are you acting like that?"

"What? How? What do you mean 'that'?" he was trying to say something.

"Ugh. To tell it straight, You like her Gray." What the hell is he saying? I don't like her? I just met her! And there's no way that-

"There's no way that she'd like you? Don't give me that crap. You like her Gray!" He patted my shoulder. What? Is he a mind reader or something? I just stayed silent. I was speechless. Later, Juvia and Sachi went out. I have no clue on what they did or what they talked about.

"Uh, let's go Gray. I want to return to the guild. I wanna fight someone!" She smiled. Is she some girl-Natsu or something? I shook my head then just followed her.

"Bye Gray! Bye Sachi!" Juvia closed the door.

"What happened with you and Juvia?" I asked her.

"Nothing. She just showed me Olyvia. She's pretty cute!" She smiled.

''Oh. Yeah.. You're r-right." I mumbled.

"What about you? You look strange." She said.

"Wha- Strange? I'm not!"

"There you go again! You're weirding out. you're funny! I like you!" She was laughing at me. I'm not strange! I'm not weird either! I'm cool! I'm Gray! And.. She l-likes me?! Well, maybe it's just the friend way I guess.. No girl can say it that fast right?

"How do you accept a job in guilds?" She asked.

"Well, you pick a job on the job board then you tell Mira that you're taking it. Then you just go!" I said.

"Oh, I see! I wanna go on a job!" She said. Man, this girl is straight forward.

"Who are you going with? You shouldn't be alone because you're just new so.."

"You! You're going with me! And Erza!" She poked my chest. Ugh. She's too bossy. Wait, me?!

"Why me?" I asked.

"Because you're the first person I know in Fairy Tail! Something wrong with that? And, um.. I guess I could say that you're my first friend in the guild!" She said.

"We're friends?" I scratched my head.

"Yeah! I think? Maybe? Well, something like that!" She rubbed her head too. I smiled at her. I didn't know why. She's a fun person. She's nothing compared to what I thought about her. I thought she was that shy, nerdy girl. Well, until she beat me up.

"What about those teams? Like Shadow Gear, Raijinshu.." She asked again.

"Well, you can make and join teams depending on the people. Some just form teams because they're friends and some form teams because their magic works well together!"

"Really? Form a team with me!" What? Again? Man, this girl likes me a lot. Wait what? That sounded wrong in many ways..

"Um, I already have a team." I mumbled.

"Really? Who're in it?"

"Lucy, Natsu and Erza" I said.

"Let me join! Erza's there anyway and I like Natsu!" She likes Natsu? Oh.. I was right. She just likes me in a friendly way. Why am I like this? I feel like I just lost something inside me.. Weird.

"Uh, Gray?"

"Oh, What?" I was lost in thought.

"Can I join your team?" She asked again.

"Yeah. Let's tell the others.." Soon, we reached the guild.

"Gray! Tell your team mates okay? If you need me, I'll be drinking there to my heart's content!" She waved at me then sat beside Cana. That girl's something. Now.. To find the others..

"Erza!" I walked up to her.

"Mm?" She was eating her cake.

"Sachi wanted to join the team. Is it okay?" I asked.

"Of course! I've wanted to ask her to join!" Well, that was expected. She really liked Sachi because of their simillarity.

"Lucy! Is it fine if Sachi joined our team?" I asked.

"Yeah! That would be great!" Yosh. All that's left is Natsu.

"Woi! Flame brain!" He turned immediately.

"What did you say Ice boy!?" He was charging towards me. I took off my shirt and prepared to hit him then suddenly, Sachi popped in! Drunk I guess?

"Fight me Natsu!" What?! What the hell is with this woman? Challenging a guy to a fight?!

"I accept your challenge!" What.!? And he accepted it anyways?

"Woi! Look! Sachi challenged Natsu to a fight! Let's see Sachi's strength!" Wakaba said. They formed a big circle around Natsu and Sachi.

Of course I didn't want to miss this fight so I squeezed on the crowd and made my way in front. She took her glasses then wore them. Maybe she needed them to see clearly. But if she does, why did she remove it? That way, she looked less stronger. But i don't know. She grabbed on of her swords then fixed her stance, getting ready for battle.

"Ikkuso!" She quickly charged Natsu. He launched his flaming fist towards her but it didn't do any damage to her. She blocked his attack with her sword then whistled. Wait, whistled? She whistled then blew Natsu away! I forgot, she was a wind mage. The crowd cheered louder. They were amazed by her strength. So am I!

"That all you got?" She smirked Then stretched her arms and neck.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!"

"One Sword Style, Wind Slash!" She swung her sword effortlessly then blew natsu away once again.

"Hm, Why don't we take it to the woods?" She smiled. She ran out then suddenly flew away. I mean literally, she just jumped then flew to the sky. Wind Magic is cool. But I think she's not using it much yet.. Just how strong is this girl?! The guild followed her to the forest. They were all amazed. When we all reached the forest, we stood at the side, not wanting to affect the fight.

"Get serious man! Make me use all three swords!" She said.

"Use all three! I don't care. I'll defeat you!" She just laughed. Then we all thought, how would she use three swords anyway.

"Well, you asked for it." She took one of her swords and put it on her mouth. The crowd gasped as they saw her do it. Then she grab hold of her two swords.

"Talons of the Fire Dragon!"

"Three Swords Style, Three Tornado Clash!" She spread her arms then twirled past Natsu. Like what she said, there were Three tornados formed, attacking Natsu repeatedly. She kept her swords then turned to look at Natsu. She raised her right hand then slowly closed her hand. As she closed her hand, the tornado slowly went away. There was silence.

"Go Sachi!" They cheered for her. I looked around and saw Erza hooting for her. She really liked Sachi. And everyone should! She was so strong. Natsu was no match for her. He couldn't even lay a finger on her! Later, Natsu stood up then offered her his hand. They shook hands. Erza, Lucy and I went close to them.

"Wow! Sachi! You were so strong! Welcome to the team!" Lucy smiled.

"Yeah. Welcome to the team!" Erza said. All was left is me.

"Um, Welcome to the team, Sachi. You were pretty strong." I scratched my head.

"Really? Thanks, But I feel really dizzy. Must've drunk too much booze!" She slowly lost her balance. She fell right to my direction so I had to carry her. Well, How much strong is she if she's not drunk!?

Oh well. If she wanted to go on a job, she better rest. Wait.. Where does she live?
