Chapter 13: Enter Cobalt
-In Phantom Lord Guild-
"Ah Cobalt, you should be part of this fight eh? Join in on the fun!" You hardly have any."
A woman slammed her fist on a wall. "Juvia FORBIDS Cobalt to fight. Cobalt may be a water user but Juvia is part of the Element Four—Not Cobalt."
"But Mom! I never get to do these type of things! C'mon I'll be with Uncle G the whole time!" The blue haired woman, Juvia, eyes twitched. The boy, Cobalt, stumbled back. "No." Was Juvia's final answer before leaving the boy in the spacious gym like room. Cobalt sighed, waved goodbye to Gajeel, sat in a corner, and began writing in a notebook.
-Kuma's PoV-
"Alright Uncle Natsu. I guess this is where we split up." Uncle Natsu did a double take. So did Happy.
"What?! If we left you alone, your mom would kill us!" He exclaimed. "Yeah. Erza gets really scary when your in danger." Happy said apathetically. I laughed. "She wont even know. Besides I wanna fight some more! Hanging around with you two losers wont give me what I want." It took a second for the dig to break into Uncle N's skull before he yelled "HEY!" while I sped off running. My original plan was to look for Master Jose. Im sure I could take the old geezer!
-Cobalt's PoV-
"Ugh! Why wont Mom let me fight? Ive done evryething thats expected of me! Ive done my stupid homework, I havent gotten into any trouble at school, Ive paid attention to those boring lessons from Master Jose. I dont understand! Why wont she let me fight!" Sighing I flick my head to the side and blue locks just fall right back in my eyes. Another sigh escapes. Damn, I think Mom's gloominess is settling in on me.
Getting up I grab an apple and a water bottle. Time for practice. Pouring the H2O in a bowl, I gently set the apple on a pencil. The pencil is standing on its own.
Using my mother's technique I summon the water in the bowl to manipulate in my hands. "Water Slicer!" Apple slices fall onto a paper towel. My fifth sigh today, I grab the snack and watch the show beneath me. Those fairies were fighting Master Jose's shadowed puppets. Id hate to be them. I battled those things for training one time and I was knocked out for a week.
My sensitve hearing picks up on footsteps. Someone stops abrutly at the door way. Turning, my eyes lock with amythest ones. The girl is shorter than me, maybe at my chest, and is totally hot. She's curvy in all the right places and she had this face that'll make any guy go insane. Long black locks covered her eyes and fell down her waist like raven curtains. I had to admit, the wind was blown right out of me.
She's wearing a long sleeved purple shirt and a black skirt that showed off just enough skin to make a man wonder. My eyes scan her and they catch the Fairy Tail mark that pokes just a little from the thin cloth. Her sleeves fall just at her bicep, a scar catches my attention on her left shoulder. Really it started from the side of her neck and stretched down. Imagining seeing the scarred flesh my eyes trail down to her hand. Yes, the scar stopped right under her fingernail of her middle finger.
"Fairy." I acknowledged with a nod.
"Phantom." Did she hiss or spit that?
"Look I have no reason to fight you." The girl nodded in agreement. "Niether do I. But I DO have a reason to kick your master's ass. So if you could so kindly point me to the way of I dont know his evil lair, Ill be on my merry way." Rolling my eyes I walk over to the mystery girl. "So naive. Seriously? An 'evil lair'? You must live in la la land. Either way I dont think I could do that Miss...?". The girl let out a growl.
"Fine. I guess Ill have to beat it out of you."
My smirk makes her teeth click.
"You can try, Fairy. You can try." "My name is Kuma." My eyes widened.
/Flashback/
"Whoa Uncle Gajeel! What happened?!" Cobalt yelled running towards the Iron Dragon Slayer. "I got in a fight." He said simply, wincing when Juvia pulled out a piece of rock from his arm. Cobalt's mouth dropped. "Who did this?!" He demanded.
"Look kid, dont worry about it. Their already in the dirt." Gajeel wouldnt admit it but that Earth Dragon Slayer did more damage than he would even let on.
"Who. Did. This?" Cobalt demanded again.
"Well if it bothers you so much her name was Kuma. Happy now?" Cobalt smirked and walked away with a curt "Very."
/End Flashback/
"Your the one who did that to Uncle Gajeel huh? Well then, I guess Ill have no other choice but to get revenge." I say smoothly. Kuma gets into a defensive stance.
The battle began.
