Fairy tail Fanfic

Chapter 11 Training!

"Your training, begins now!"

Ikiru's face became serious. He clenched his fist.

"Ikiru before you begin your training your goals must be clear. What is it that you want now that you've joined Fairy tail and got back your sister? What is it that you will be training for!?", Makarov questioned, loud and direct.

"Well... to find the rest of the Demonslayers is kind of a goal I guess but..."

Ikiru looked around to see the curious faces of the people around him, this was Fairy tail, his home, the people who cared about him and what he had to say.

"Is that all...", Makarov started but was interrupted.

"But...", Ikiru started as he clenched his fist harder. "To protect the people who are precious to me, that is what I strive for!"

The faces of the Fairy tail members lit up around him and they all smiled.

"Well that's good enough for me!", Natsu called out jumping down onto the bed next to Ikiru; patting him on the back.

"Ha hur", Ikiru scratched his head in embarrassment, but he meant what he said.

"Is that so?", Makarov stated twirling his moustache. "Well then good luck with your training. Come on let's leave him to it."

With these words almost everyone gave their encouragement of "Good luck!" to Ikiru and left the infirmary, once again leaving Ikiru alone with the small gang from the meeting.

Lisanna waved as she pulled the door shut behind her. *Thud*

"Well kid I don't really have anything much to say but...", Gajeel started. "You'd better recover soon so we can spar again, I'll kick your ass!"

"Uh, right...", Ikiru scratched his head again as Gajeel left with Lily, opening and closing he door.

*Creak*

*Thud*

"Well I don't have anything to say, you've got this!", Natsu proclaimed.

"Yeah", Gray agreed as he nodded at Ikiru.

They both left the room along with happy. Juvia quickly followed behind Gray.

*Creak*

*Thud*

All the girls stared at Ikiru in their own bashful way blushing.

"Uh, what's up guys?"

"Well... the thing is... we were just wondering... which one of us you like?", Lucy explained gently as she blushed.

"It's kind of being a competition to see who can get you first, but we want an answer?", Mira explained further.

"Oh, for crying out loud! I've had enough of this!", Miyuki whined as she approached the bed. She went around to the side.

She bent down next to Ikiru and gently placed her hands on his face. They both became flustered and red-faced.

"Hey what are you..."

Before Ikiru had a chance to finish Miyuki's tongue found its way into his mouth. She pushed her face further into his moving his head backwards and eventually onto the pillow he was sat in front of.

She pulled herself away from him and turned to the others, "You happy now!?", she asked in a playfully angry tone. Ikiru stared at Miyuki in a strange way, he was still bright red.

"Ha-ha-ha", the girls began to laugh.

"Looks like you've had enough of us trying to take him", Mira giggled.

The laughing died down and Miyuki blushed and looked downwards towards the floor. Ikiru was still staring.

"Uh well, looks like we missed our chance", Lucy announced as she opened the door and left.

"Well I'm not giving up just because of that", Mira addressed Miyuki playfully as she waved and left.

"Hum, me either", Erza agreed as she followed.

"Wait for us!", Wendy called as she and Carla followed and shut the door.

*Slam*

"Hey what's wrong?", Miyuki asked Ikiru, still blushing. "Didn't you like it?"

Ikiru stared at her blankly.

"Well say something!?", she urged.

"Well, I just... I just didn't expect you to do that in front of everyone else", Ikiru explained softly.

"Well, is there something wrong with that?"

"No, no! Don't get the wrong idea!", Ikiru panicked and then softened his tone. "I just didn't expect it, that's all."

"Um", Miyuki mumbled with a saddened look on her face. She looked downwards avoiding eye contact.

Ikiru caught up on this and tried to keep her happy, "Anyway, I did like it so..."

"Really?", Miyuki looked up and smiled at him.

"Yeah, of course", he blushed.

"You always know what to say", Miyuki told Ikiru placing her hands on her heart. She pecked him on the cheek and blushed.

"Uh, um", Ikiru mumbled and then smiled.

"Alright then we'd better start your training", Miyuki changed the subject.

"Err yeah."

"Right for me this was a wiz but don't get down if you can't get it straight away. Kumi and I work together so it's a lot easier for me to use magic than for you, your demon won't even speak to you", Miyuki explained. "Right, basically all you have to do is focus your energy into your hand and try to focus it into a ball, then incantate 'dark make orb'. For me it's 'light make' but whatever. Anyway this is the first step of stage one training and it's the easiest demon type moulding magic to use."

"Right."

"The earth Demon Slayer Iwa could do this too and he said the same as me, easiest to use and to master. I'll show you mine", Miyuki explained and then incantated, "Light make orb."

A shining yellow light appeared above Miyuki's right hand and she began to play with it, spinning it around her fingers and changing its size, moving it around the room.

She snapped her fingers and it sparked into nothingness. *Snap!*

"Now you try."

"Err, right", Ikiru replied nervously.

Ikiru held his right arm up with his left so that his wounded stomach didn't tense up again. He concentrated energy into his right hand and then, "Dark make orb."

A purple blackish ball appeared above Ikiru's hand but it wasn't a perfect shape. It was wriggling around the edges.

"Good, keep calm and concentrate", Miyuki told him gently.

Ikiru began to hold his breath and the left arm that was supporting his right began to squeeze.

"Err", he struggled to keep the energy ball in place. It began changing shape, stretching in different directions.

Miyuki placed her hands on Ikiru's right arm, "Hey calm down, nothings gonna go wrong you know."

With this comfort Ikiru loosened his grip on his arm and began to breathe normally again. The deformed energy in the air came back to hover over Ikiru's hand and became a tiny orb.

"That's great well done!", Miyuki congratulated.

*Pop!*

The orb disappeared.

"What's wrong?", Miyuki asked.

"I'm sorry, huh... it's just, hard to keep in place and shape, huh... ya know", Ikiru puffed. He was sweating and panting, it obviously had an effect on his body, being injured and all.

Miyuki noticed the look of disappointment in Ikiru's eyes and tried to comfort him. "Don't worry about it, you don't have to apologise. These things take time, ya know", she explained gently wrapping her arms around him and placing her head on his shoulder.

Ikiru lifted his right arm and placed it on her back in trying to hug Miyuki back but he was too tired. He fell back onto the pillow and laid still. Miyuki fell into the bed on top of him.

"Ahhh!", Ikiru cringed.

"Sorry, are you alright!"?

"Err, yeah I think so", he squinted in pain.

"Sorry. Anyway let me sort this bed out." Miyuki rearranged the bed so that the pillows were stood up on their sides and she laid backwards next to Ikiru pulling the sheet up to their waists.

"How's that?", she smiled.

"Good thanks."

The door creaked open and Makarov walked in alone. He immediately began to speak, "Tomorrow is the fifth of October and I've got a quest lined up for you on the eleventh. You should have pretty mush recovered by the ninth but if you haven't finished step one training by the time the day of the quest arrives then you won't be receiving your guild mark. Understood?!"

"Right!", Ikiru replied confidently.

Makarov immediately turned and left.

"That's a bit harsh gramps, only a few days. He is injured ya know?", Gray addressed Makarov.

"He needs to be progressing quickly so that he can protect himself, he can't rely on other people to be watching his back for him all the time."

"I know that but..."

Makarov interrupted before he Gray had a chance to finish.

"He's still an assassination target and now being a member of our guild that puts all of you at risk as well. If he can't protect the people who are 'precious to him' as he put it, then he won't feel too great if you get kidnapped, will he?"

"I guess you're right", Gray replied in a sad tone.

In the infirmary Miyuki hugged Ikiru as he continued to train. "Dark make orb!"

He repeated this again and again until Miyuki fell asleep. He decided he didn't want to disturb her and instead laid her head on the now properly placed pillows, pulling the bed sheets up to her shoulder height. Ikiru then slid under the sheets and he also fell asleep.
