The fur was soft to the touch, its movement: a light cream and dark brown storm. Fai reached out his pail and highly defined hand to grab the hooded jacket. Instead he collided with another delicate hand, the finger nails pained neatly in a light pink to match the light pink symbol on the back of the hand.
"Forgive me Madam, please~" Fai stepped back slightly gesturing for her to proceed, tilting his head forward to cast a gentlemanly smile upon the girl. A light blush raced across her face only to dissipate as she stared over his shoulder. A little insulted Fai tuned to see what had captured the young ladies attention.
"Erza." The girl beamed. "You're back from your mission, how was it?" Fai switched his attention between the two, like a dog fallowing a ball as the two women conversed about seemingly unimportant things: class, jems, cakes. He had no-idea but they seemed to be having fun.
"Miss Scarlet?" The small Sakura politely interrupted the women during a small lull in their conversation. "I was wondering if we could go to that place you mentioned now, Kurogane-san and Syoaran have gathered the items you asked for." Only then did Fai notice Kurogane and Syoaran behind the girl, each laden with boxes upon boxes of cakes stacked higher than their heads. They probably refused Sakuras aid, it was just like them.
"Forgive me. We'll head over to the guild now." Erza twisted to look at Sakura before smiling gently at the girl. "Sakura's Sakura" She reached out and plucked a small pink petal from the girls caramel hair, placing the light pink petal to the girl hand Erza gently smiled and turned, supposedly towards the guild, and began walking.
"Ah, I'll tag along." The blond stranger smiled at the group. "I'm Lucy by the way. Lucy Heartfilia."
The walk to the guild was pleasant enough, cobble roads lined with brightly colourer stalls selling all sorts of things: clothes, food, weapons a stall was even selling brightly coloured birds which mimicked the voices of the crowd with astonishing accuracy. Once or twice Kurogane had to prompt the mage into keep movement when he spotted something extra interesting.
"So, Erza, what is this world called?" Fai heard Syoaran ask though the general chatter of the group.
"We are currently in Fiore of Earthland." Erza and the young man were slightly ahead of the group, each carrying about 6 boxes of cakes, Erza with more poise than Syoaran. The red head opened her mouth to continue but was interrupted by a large crashing sound coming from the building ahead of them.
"Seems like Natsus back as well." The busty blond commented with a slight groan, but her face held a smile never the less. "Welcome to Fairy Tail." The girl beamed proudly throwing her arm towards a large structure enclosed by an imposing wall. The pyramidal three story structure was topped by a large bell in the centre was an orange flag with a white symbol identical to that of Lucy's hand tattoo and paining on Erzas breast plate.
The large oak doors of the building swung open releasing a barrage of sound: laughter, shouting and smashing. Many people buzzed around, the majority sitting at tables or at the bar. Though two, a pink haired young man and a black hair young man, stood in the centre of the room shouting insults at one another.
As the argument reached its climax Erza moved towards Sakura and raised her hand to her eyes. "Bring it Ice Boy!" Suddenly a black shirt flew in their direction, blocking the fight from their sight for a fraction of a second. But apparently that was all it took: the dark haired man was stark naked, his clenched fist planted in his open palm. His legs were long and slender, his chest defined, his skin completely unblemished excluding the dark symbol above his heart, his shoulders strong and his...
"Fai."
Kuroganes interruption was unwelcome but the look of jealousy on his face was well worth it. Fai looked back at the scene, Erza had split up the two and the Adonis was already pulling his clothes back on. No-one seemed to notice the group.
"Umm, excuse me." Fai glanced downwards to look at the small girl in front of him. Her long dark blue hair fluttered around her hips. "Can I help you?" Her big brown eyes met with his, a gentle smile on her face.
"We're looking for Makaro young lady." Fai knelt to meet her eye level, to prevent the girl straining her neck. "We need to find something." He said gently thought the girls wrinkled eyebrows were not soothed by his voice, an odd occurrence.
"Makarov, their looking for Master." Lucy chimed in from behind him. A young man stood behind her, dressed in a suit with orange hair, he was talking to Sakura in a charming tone: his words hidden by the noise of hall but whatever they were Syoaran didn't seem too pleased and promptly placed himself between the two.
"Well why didn't you say so." Fais attention turned to the small man sitting on top of the bar, a flagon in one hand and a staff in the other. His size, white moustache, orange and blue floppy eared hat made him stand out, curious that Fai did not notice him before. Though there were other, more distracting, people around.
"can you tell us where to find him." Kuro-pon grumbled, putting his pile of caked onto a table he straighten showing off his dominating figure, and large sword, to the fullest.
Suddenly a large shadow grew across the room enveloping the fall in darkness. The old man stood as tall as the roof, from the dominating figure a low and demanding voice said: "You're looking at him kiddies."
"You seem to be out gunned again Kuro-pon"
