-Lucy-
"You can't be serious! I have to get back to Fiore!"
"What's a Fiore?" Asks the girl.
"Where I live." I tell her. "What do you call this place?"
"Japan!" Cheers the girl. "This is Japan! I'm Rin, here is A-Un." She pats the dragon on their head affectionately. "This is Jaken. He is stupid but a nice person you know!" She points to the imp who makes a noise of protest. "And here," She has an air of having saved the best for last. "Is Lord Sesshoumaru!" She grins and Jaken hits her lightly with his staff.
"Don't go around befriending everyone! Stupid girl you just put us all in danger! What if she's a witch and can now put a curse on us?"
"I am not a witch!" I say crossly. "I'm a wizard."
The imp glares at me. "There's no difference!"
I walk over and pull his up by his ear. He screams and drops the staff
"Don't talk to me that way! I'm lost, cold, tired, hungry and I have no idea where Natsu is! So I'm not in a good mood!" I yell in his ear. The silver-haired man walks up behind me and puts on hand on the small on my back and the other reaches over my shoulder and takes Jaken out of my hand only to drop him on the ground.
"Don't do that, he won't be very useful if he's deaf."
I turn around to face him, my head barely clears his shoulders so I have to crane my neck to see him.
"You smell funny." I inform him. He takes a step back.
"Pardon?" His eyebrows knit together and I see his ears are long and pointed, like Cobra's.
"You smell like Sirius."
"Who's that?" Asks Rin cheerfully.
"My dog spirit."
"Lord Sesshoumaru is a dog daemon!" She laughs.
"Really?" I reach up and tug on his hair, it feels like dog fur. "That's weird." I think about my revelation for a minute then realise something. "You can help me find Natsu!" I say.
"Who's Natsu?" The girl sure talks a lot.
"He's my friend. He came in the well after I did. He tried to catch me but he didn't, and now I have to find my way home…"
"I am not your hound dog." Sesshoumaru says bitingly. "I refuse."
I glare at him. "Well, excuse me. I didn't realise I was dealing with a tsundere! Mr. Sesshoumaru I demand that you help me find my lost companion!"
"That's Lord Sesshoumaru to you!"
"Shut up you stupid imp!" I snap.
"I will not help you. You are a stranger. I do not trust you and I have nothing to gain from helping you."
"You selfish bastard! I put my pride away to ask you for your help and you turn me away? I can't believe someone would turn away a girl asking for help! Just who do you think you are?"
He draws himself up to his full hight. A-Un steps back and Rin makes a whimpering noise.
"I am Lord Sesshoumaru of the Western Lands. Many tremble in fear when they hear my name. My name states who I am. Killing perfection. You are lucky, little girl, that I have not killed you. But believe me when I say, I'm thinking about it. How dare you, a foreigner, speak to me like that. Just who do you think you are?"
My eyes narrow and I step closer to him.
"My name is Lucy Heartfillia. Daughter of Jude and Layla Heartfillia. Resident mage of the most powerful guild in Fiore. Fairy Tail. I am a Celestial mage, part of the strongest team, Team Natsu along with S-class mages, Erza Scarlet, Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster. I am the current owner of all 12 Golden Keys, 16 Silver Keys, 3 Platinum Keys and 1 Diamond Key. I fought the Dragon of Apocalypse with my comrades and defeated it." I jab my finger in his chest. "I don't think you should mess with me buddy."
"Lucy-nee, did you kill a dragon?" I look back at the little girl, she's precariously leaning over the front of the saddle watching the exchange between me and her master.
"Who are you calling Lucy-nee?" I ask tiredly. "Forget it."
"Where are the rest of your keys then?" Uh, what? The Sesshoumaru guy was staring at the single key in my hand. "I'm guessing that the keys are the source of your power. Am I right?"
I nod.
"Then where are they?"
I shrug. "I dropped them down the well, though I have no idea how. Virgo's was the only one I managed to grab and I need to find the rest of them. Why do you care anyway?"
"Show me what they do."
I raise an eyebrow. "Why?"
"I want to see if you are worth saving."
I snarl and he watches me expectant.
"Fine. Whatever." I hold out her key. "Open! Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!"
She appears and Rin claps while A-Un jumps back, startled. Rin falls off her seat and tumbles on to the ground, landing on Jaken.
"Punishment Princess?" She asks.
"Yeah, no. Can you demonstrate you power please? This guy wants to see."
"Of course Princess. Shall I battle him?"
"Um…" I look at him.
"Jaken! Spar with her."
"But my Lord!"
"Jaken."
"Yes my Lord."
He raises his staff and shouts something I don't understand. One of the staff heads shoots fire. I grin. Fire we can deal with.
Virgo smiles. "Diver!" She plunges down into the earth and the fire shoots to me instead. Rin cries out but I run forward to meet it and handspring over it at the last second. While in mid-air I pull out my Fleuve d'étoiles and use it to take Jaken's staff from him.
"Virgo!" I call. She pops out of the ground.
"Flying Virgo attack!" She transforms into her 'larger' form and lands on top of the tiny imp. I hear Rin shriek and laugh while Sesshoumaru watches.
"GFMEPH!" I can hear the muffled shouts of Jaken under Virgo's body.
"What was that? I can't hear you." I say cupping a hand to my ear.
"Gepmf, ofmf meh!" Virgo shifts slightly and Jaken's head pokes out from under her. He gasps for air and he looks so ridiculous that I end up laughing.
"Get off me!" He cries.
"Say, 'Lucy is much better than me.'" I tell him.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Oh, no dear Jaken. I'm deadly serious."
"Lucy is much better than me! Get this gorilla off me!"
"Thanks Virgo."
"Punishment Princess?"
"Uh… Go ask Loke." I tell her nervously.
"Yes, Princess." She bows and vanishes.
"Interesting."
I stick my tongue out at him.
"Jaken we're leaving. Let's go Rin."
"Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru!" Cheers the little girl. "Come on A-Un!" She tugs at the Dragon's halter. The creature brays and follows her without further complaint. Jaken hisses at me and pulls a face, so I aim a kick at his head and he flies a few feet away from me and I smirk satisfied. Then, I turn and walk in the opposite direction.
"Where are you going?"
I look behind me and see Sesshoumaru watching me leave.
"I won't sniff out your companion for you, but you may travel with me until you find your companion if you wish."
A grin finds its way on my face and I hurry after the retreating figures.
Short I know. But I really want to focus on my other story. Please support my other stories especially The Peacekeeper!
