Chapter 7: The Father of Kuma

After about two weeks, FairyTail recieved a new member. Her name was Lucy. Little did everyone know was that Kuma already met her.

Erza was on a job for 6 weeks so Kuma's time at the guild was cut off. When her mom came back though she smiled at the blonde woman and gave her a bracelet.

"Its a tradition I started when I joined FairyTail. I made everyone a bracelet with their name on it. Welcome to the family!" Kuma exclaimed. Erza had chuckled softly having to had already met the young girl. Lucy smiled and thanked the teenager. "Oh wait a minute! Your voice sounds just like Temptress on the radio!" Lucy yelled. Kuma sat in a corner and instantly became sad. "Oh really?" She said un emotionally. Mirajane laughed. "Dont worry about her. I had put her songs on the radio without permission and now she gets like this when someone mentions her and the word music in the same sentence." Lucy nodded in understanding even though she had no clue what was going on.

At night Kuma sat in the woods. She always snuck out of campus. It was second nature.

Drawing in her sketchpad, she thought about when she would finally be able to go on a mission. She wanted to become just as strong as her mom and dad. Just as strong as her old teacher. *Jani...why did you leave me? Its your fault I have to keep ungratefully taking mom's kindness.* Looking back down at the picture, the young girl gasped. It was a dragon her pencil had sketched. It was purple with black and brown scales, possessing piercing red eyes.

"Is something wrong?"

Kuma quickly jumped and dropped the sketch book. Looking up her eyes scanned over a man with weird clothes. He carried about three staffs and the majority of his head was covered in cloth. Kuma sighed and laughed lightly. Hearing him asked that made her feel nostalgic. "Papa its just you. You really had me scared for a minute." The man chuckled and sat on a boulder next to his daughter.

Mystogan. The father of Kuma Scarlet. How did this story happen? Well...

Kuma cried at a lake, trying desperatley to dry her tears. Today was a training day with Elfman and she didnt do anything he told her to do right.

He told her to punch-she kicked. He told her to guard-she attacked. She couldnt do a thing she was told!

"Is something wrong?" Kuma turned her head and saw Mystogan. He stood there staring down at her with intense eyes filled with worry. The 7 year old wiped her face quickly and sniffled. Shaking her head she stood up. "Nothings wrong! Wait...who are you?" The man ruffled Kuma's hair and chuckled. "Mystogan of FairyTail." Kuma smiled brightly and showed the FairyTail symbol on her stomach.

"Kuma Scarlet of FairyTail!"

After that Mystogan walked her back to the fighting grounds behind the guild but stayed behind a tree and watched her as she ran into Elfman's arms. He was laughing and scolding her to never run off again. After that the two ran into each other almost every othet week. And like Erza, Kuma just got accustomed to calling Mystogan her dad.

"Who were you expecting? Better not be any boys." Mystogan replied picking up the sketch pad. "Of coarse not Papa! Boys are gross." Kuma replied knowing saying things like that kept her safe. Even though she does meet up with Jadin every now or then when it was curfew at the campus.

Mystogan chuckled and looked through the sketchpad. It was already time to get another one. Man the girl drew alot!

On the pages Kuma always drew a seven. Wether it was as tiny as a pen dot or as obvious as an elephant in the forest—there was always the number seven. "Is that like your artsy name or something?" Mystogsan murmered. Kuma became silent. And then she laughed. It sounded a bit forced. "I guess you could say that. Its how old I was when I first picked up a pencil! Silly right?" Mystogan just chuckled and wrapped an arm around hus daughter. "Not at all."

"Papa?"

"Yes?"

"Im worried about Onii-chan."

Mystogan squeezed his daughter. Onii-chan=Laxus. She promised she would start calling him her brother. Had to admit the girl never broke her promises.

"Im sure he's fine. Nothing to worry about." But they both knew that that wasnt the case. Laxus was changing. Sure he was always a bit on the downer side but that didnt mean a thing compared to now. Even the other day Laxus had bared his teeth at his little sister. He NEVER showed rudness to Kuma! She was one of the rare people in the guild he showed respect for in front of people. Because she didnt want to give him anymore slurs to use against her, she hadnt cried. Kuma did kick him and left though. He had called her weak, which was unaccepptable. Her goal was to be just as strong as her mom. Being called weak by Laxus, who just told the cold truth, meant that she wasnt good enough.

"Anyways your career as Temptress I have to admit I love the songs. I just dont care for the name. Temptress? Your FOURTEEN...WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT TEMPTATION?!"Mystogan cried out and Kuma sweatdropped. "Actually I didnt pick the name. Cousin Ever did." Mystogan clenched his fists and started talking to himself. "Honestly the woman gave a girl the name a complete floozie should possess!" Again Kuma sighed. When she got Mystogan talking there was no stopping.
