Once again poor Ikiru Ikaruga's morning started with him being shaken awake at the black iron inn. Except this time it wasn't at ten-thirty, but eight-thirty instead.
"Ikiru, Ikiru come on. Sandra said we have to be out by nine and it's eight-thirty already", Miyuki shook Ikiru awake.
"Uh, you're kidding right?", Ikiru yawned as he sat up and rubbed his eyes awake.
"Do I sound like I'm kidding!?"
"I guess I'd better get a move on then."
"Yeah, I'd say so."
"I won't be long", Ikiru said drowsily as he went into the bathroom. In twenty-five minutes Ikiru and Miyuki managed to get quick showers, brush their teeth, change their clothes and tidy up the room.
Ikiru and Miyuki picked up their respective bags and headed down to the bar. Ikiru took a seat on a stool and placed his head on the bar. Miyuki greeted Sandra and handed her the room key taking a seat next to Ikiru.
"Hey Ikiru, that's pretty rude ya know. You could at least say good morning to Sandra", Miyuki addressed him.
"Oh, don't worry yourself", Sandra put in.
"I know but still, Ikiru, come on", Miyuki shook Ikiru and he fell off the stool.
"Ahhh."
"That serves you right for being rude", Miyuki scolded him.
"He wasn't being rude. He wasn't even awake", Rio addressed them as he appeared behind the bar.
"That so."
"Oh hey, Morning Rio, Sandra", Ikiru yawned.
"Sorry we have to go now, thanks a lot", Miyuki called back as she picked up both bags and Ikiru in her right arm.
Ikiru hunched over in her arm and waved to Rio and Sandra.
They slowly waved back and as Ikiru and Miyuki left they both said, "Weird."
Miyuki hauled Ikiru over to a bench and they both sat. "Ikiru, that was really embarrassing, ya know."
"Well I'm sorry that I haven't had nearly enough sleep over the past three nights."
"And whose fault is that", Miyuki complained sarcastically.
"Uh", Ikiru sighed. "I'm sorry, I'm just a little off."
"Uh, alright then."
"Hey now that we've both joined Fairy tail we'll be getting our Guild marks soon. Where you gonna have yours? Oh, and what colour?"
"Umm, I think I'll have mine in white on my right hand", Miyuki replied.
"Uh, that was fast. Well I'm not sure exactly where I'm gonna have mine but I think I'll have it in black."
"Ha-ha, that's so like you", Miyuki laughed.
"And what's that supposed to mean!"
"Ha-ha, I just mean you haven't changed a lot. I mean physically you're quite different and you've matured a lot but you're still the same."
"Huh?"
"I mean like, the decisions you make and the way you act and stuff", Miyuki explained cheerfully.
"Oh, I get ya."
"Well then, shall we get going?", Miyuki asked smiling.
"Sure."
Miyuki and Ikiru happily made their way towards the guild hall with their bags in tow. When they got there they came across the gang from the meeting, waiting outside for them.
"Hey Ikiru, what's up?", Natsu called out, whilst waving.
Ikiru and Miyuki came within casual voice range, "Not much but what're you guys doin?"
"Oh well ya see yesterday I told them I'd show them my Demonslayer magic so...", Miyuki explained.
"Oh, alright."
Master Makarov came to the front of the group, "Make sure you use your magic across the water to avoid injuring anybody."
"Right", Miyuki replied confidently. "I'll explain as I go along."
Makarov nodded.
"Right, I'm sure you've already been told about how Demonslayer magic works but I'll just go over it anyway. Basically we are known as Demonslayers because of the Demons that we have sealed inside us and that we are able to use their powers, whether we want to or not. But we don't posses a Demon slaying magic as such, instead we posses three types of magic. One of these is the Demons elemental magic attribute and the other two are supposedly made up of the users own magic and a mixed personality magic but I have confirmed that this isn't true", Miyuki explained.
"How so?", Makarov questioned.
"I paid a visit to the earth Demonslayer a while back, Chikyū Iwa, nice guy. Turns out he uses his Demons earth magic but also uses one of the same magics as me and we don't think it is coincidence. Let me demonstrate my magic's before we go into more detail."
"Sure", Makarov spoke out.
"The Elemental magic of a Demon is quite similar to moulding magic, for example."
Miyuki put out her hands and began to concentrate, "Light make sword!" As Miyuki had intended a shining light sword appeared in her right hand.
"I think we'll get along just fine", Gray mentioned.
Miyuki snapped her fingers and the sword disappeared in a glimmer of light sparks that slowly fell to the ground.
"The magic I use isn't very good for demonstrating with but it is basically healing magic, I used it on Ikiru to try to calm him down when we sealed him. The sleeping spell I used on him also falls into that category", Miyuki explained.
"Right", Makarov nodded.
"Uh, now for the last magic but before I show you I need to ask. Black-steel - Gajeel Redfox, Salamander - Natsu Dragneel and Sky Mistress - Wendy Marvel, do you know of any way that Demons could be connected to the Dragons?"
"Why do you say that?", Gajeel asked.
"That doesn't matter now just tell me", Miyuki explained.
"No", Gajeel replied.
"Nah", Natsu added.
"Not, really", Wendy stuttered.
"Huh, the Demonslayer's third shared magic. We all have it, and it's this", Miyuki took a big deep breath and stood on the edge of the pavement, next to the water. She put her hands together and incanted, "Light Dragon Roar!"
As she said this a tornado of yellow light spiralled across the water skimming across the top of it and splashing everywhere.
Everybody stood in shock. Dragonslayer magic.
"That, can't be", Makarov spoke aloud.
Ikiru stood in awe thinking of what he could possibly do when his power grows.
"I can't think of anyway that the Dragons could be linked to the Demons so why?", Natsu asked himself aloud.
"You're right", Gajeel agreed.
"There's just no way", Wendy added.
"Alright everybody come inside, there's no point in even discussing this with each other. We won't find anything out", Makarov explained.
Everybody did as the Master said and followed him inside.
"Ok, let's take our minds off of that. I think I'll send you all out on a quest", Makarov explained.
"Alright!", Natsu yelled in delight.
"Humph, about time", Gray chimed in.
"Ikiru and Miyuki you'll go too, it's good experience", Makarov explained staring at the quest board.
"Right", Miyuki and Ikiru both replied at the same time.
"This looks good for starts. Some bandits are on their way to magnolia, they should be in the mountains to the east in three days. The people who I'm sending are, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Ikiru, Miyuki and Erza as team leader."
"Right!", Everyone confirmed.
"Master it's not like I'm saying he can't handle himself, so please don't take offense Ikiru but do you think he'll be safe? I mean up till now he's been using the demons' power in battle situations. But now that the demon has been sealed and he can't use his magic yet..."
"He'll be fine", Makarov interrupted.
"But if he gets separated from us then what?", Erza explained in a worrying tone.
"I agree with Erza I think it's dangerous", Miyuki put in.
Ikiru put his hand behind his neck and stretched. Then he yawned.
"Err, don't listen to Miyuki she's just overprotective. Besides you haven't seen me in almost six years, you think I've been doin nothin all that time", Ikiru reassured Miyuki with a quick jab, it flew towards her fast and stopped right in front of her face. In fact it moved so fast it swished the air and the force from it lifted Miyuki's hair upwards.
She stood in awe. She realised he had changed a lot.
"Ya know earlier how you were saying that some things about me haven't changed. Well you're the same Miyuki, you still worry yourself over me. But don't worry, you don't have to fret over me anymore", Ikiru explained. "Come on I'll show you how much I've changed, I just need a sparring partner."
"Well since I'm not going on this next quest, I guess it's fair that I take you up on that", Gajeel butted in. "Master?"
"Sure, go ahead."
Gajeel nodded and he and Ikiru headed outside. The gang followed.
"This should be interesting", Mira proclaimed.
"Alright, spar one round. No magic. First to fall loses. Fight!", the Master declared and with those words Gajeel and Ikiru jumped to each other.
Levy came outside to watch Gajeel.
Gajeel had the upper hand. He and Ikiru were constantly throwing blows and blocking others. But one or two of Gajeel's shots had connected and Ikiru was already struggling to keep up.
*SMACK!*
Gajeel threw a hard right punch but Ikiru stopped it with a cross block.
Natsu began to commentate childishly, "Gajeel throws another right. Ikiru ducks and goes for a right upper, Gajeel attempts to intercept with a right kick but Ikiru holds his leg of with his left hand."
"Rah", Gajeel struggled as he pulled his head back barley avoiding the sharp punch Ikiru threw.
Ikiru's left hand came from Gajeel's leg and smacked into his stomach.
"Oooo, I bet that hurt. Gajeel looks like he's hurting", Natsu blurted out.
What followed was a right kick that swept Gajeel's left leg and planted his back on the ground.
"He's down! And the winner is Ikiru!", Natsu called out.
"Wow", Wendy uttered.
Everybody from Fairy tail stood in shock especially Levy and Lily. They knew that Gajeel was no easy opponent.
Ikiru put out a hand to help up Gajeel but he brushed it aside as he walked into the guild hall, obviously frustrated. Levy and Lily followed close behind to comfort him.
"I didn't realise you were so skilled in hand to hand combat?", Erza addressed Ikiru as he approached the gang.
"Yeah but that's about it I'm good with some weapons too but... I prefer not to use em, ya know", Ikiru explained looking at his hand as he flexed his fingers.
"Yeah", Erza replied.
"Still. I don't think it's a good idea that you go", Miyuki imputed.
"I think he'll be able to handle himself, they're only a bunch of bandits", Erza explained.
"I agree", Gray assured.
"Me too", Natsu added.
"Aye sir", Happy beamed.
"So do I", Mira agreed.
"But...", Miyuki worried.
Ikiru placed his hand on Miyuki's shoulder, "You don't have to worry about me alright. Besides you'll be there to help me out right?"
"Uh."
Ikiru looked into Miyuki's eyes and said softly, "Right?"
"Uh, yeah."
Ikiru pulled Miyuki towards him and wrapped his arms around her, "Thanks. And I'll be there for you too."
"Uh." Miyuki acted a little surprised. "Alright", she conceded wrapping her arms around Ikiru.
Everyone seemed to smile when they saw this sibling love, or maybe it was more than that but they just didn't notice.
"Maybe I should go talk to Gajeel?", Ikiru stated pulling away from Miyuki.
"No, don't", Makarov commanded.
"But..."
"Gajeel is a prideful person. If you go and pity him it'll make him feel worse", Makarov explained. "It's gotta be hard, an accomplished wizard losing to a young kid like you."
"I wish you'd stop saying that, it just makes me feel worse", Ikiru explained rubbing his arm. "I hope he doesn't hold it against me."
"Don't worry", Erza reassured him. "He's kind of a rough guy but he wouldn't hold something like that against you. Although he may try to get even."
"Huh, just what I need", Ikiru sighed.
*Pit*
*Pat*
"Oh, it's raining", Lucy declared holding out her hands.
The rain began to come down harder. *Sshhhhh*
"Come on let's get inside", Makarov struggled to call out through the suddenly heavy rain.
*Creak*
The huge doors shut and the gang who were wet began to talk, sat around three tables that were close together.
Natsu, Gray and Ikiru took off their now wet shirts and threw them all across to one empty bench. Makarov took off and hung up his coat.
Happy and Carla shook themselves dry and the girls wrung out their hair.
"Wow, there wasn't a cloud in the sky this mornin' and now I'm soaked. It only took a second", Wendy explained.
"Yes, it is quite strange", Erza added.
"Ok guys but let's just address the problem at hand here, ok?", Lucy changed the subject. "Open gate of the maiden, Virgo!"
Lucy held up her hand with the golden zodiac key in it. The key shone and as commanded the maiden appeared.
"Can I be of assistance princess?", Virgo addressed Lucy.
"Yeah, could you just fetch me and my friends some clothes real quick?"
"Of course."
"Thanks."
"Here princess your clothes", Virgo handed some clothes to Lucy.
"Wait a second did those just appear in your hands!?"
"Goodbye princess", and with that Virgo puffed away.
"Ok, lets just go change", Lucy quickly said trying to take her mind off of the bizarre events that had just occurred.
The girls headed into a spare room in the guild hall and all that was heard was the locking off the door. Although being made of water Juvia wasn't bothered by the rain and hid behind a pillar watching Gray.
"Nice of them to get us some clothes as well", Ikiru addressed Natsu and Gray sarcastically.
"Ahhh, oh well", Natsu sighed.
"I'm used to it", Gray replied.
A few moments later the girls all came out wearing strange-looking dresses.
"Well these are from the celestial spirit world, what can you expect", Erza told the others as they took seats on an empty bench.
The guys looked at the girls in their dresses. The girls looked at the topless boys.
Then the girls started to whisper among themselves, covering their mouths whilst still looking at the guys. *Psst* *Psst*
"Hey what're you staring at?", Ikiru asked.
The girls giggled, "Ha-hum."
"Well we were just talking about you actually", Lucy replied in a mischievous tone.
"Oh yeah?"
"Well actually we were just saying that we didn't realise you were so muscly", Lucy explained. "We always see Gray without his shirt on and it's expected that Natsu has big muscles. But you're only fifteen and you're pretty buff already."
"Hey where is this goin? I'm gettin kinda scared."
"Well Lucy said what we think about you, so what do you think about us?", Erza asked. All the girls lowered their heads a little but looked into Ikiru's eyes as they blushed.
"Err, well. You all... look really nice."
"Well thanks but who do you like the most?", Lucy asked and then grinned evilly.
"We should be able to find out which of the guys likes who with this tactic", Wendy explained quietly among the girls.
"Yeah, nice goin Wendy", Mira whispered back.
"Err, well...", Ikiru blushed.
"Go on. It's ok to have a favourite", Lucy urged for an answer.
"Well I don't really think that..." Ikiru stopped mid-sentence and noticed the sad look on Miyuki's face.
"Uhh", Ikiru sighed. Then he changed his tone to a more happy one, "Miyuki, it's Miyuki."
"Can you give us a reason why?", Mira asked.
Ikiru came straight out with, "Because she's always been there for me when I needed someone the most."
All the girls held their hands on their hearts and Miyuki looked at Ikiru surprised but happy.
"Awwwww. He's so cute!", the girls said a loud.
Gray and Natsu elbowed Ikiru in the back, "You sounded like a total dork!"
"Err, Shut up!", Ikiru blushed and pushed them off the bench.
The boys started to fight among themselves.
Mira placed her hand on Miyuki's shoulder, "You're lucky to have him, he's a really good guy."
The rest of the girls came around Miyuki and smiled at her.
"I know", she replied happily.
"But that doesn't mean their won't be any competition", Wendy addressed her in a hype voice.
"Yeah, I like him too ya know", Mira shook Miyuki's shoulder.
"So then Miyuki you'd better not let your guard down or we'll snatch him away from beneath you", Erza explained whilst smiling.
"Urr", Miyuki worried. Then she changed her attitude. "Ha-ha alright then it's a contest", she giggled.
"Right!", all the girls shouted.
