~Yato~

After leaving the restaurant and entering the guild, it seemed like me and Hiyori weren't as hot-headed. "Okay guys, what mission should we pick out?" I asked Yukine and Hiyori as the three of us stood in front of the request board.

"Well it's gotta be something easy…" Yukine mumbled.

"Hey how about this one?" I ripped off a piece of paper and began to read out loud.

IN NEED OF...

Any level of wizard willing to do easy jobs for Magnolia's Martial Arts Tournament

Come see the Magnolia Sports Center if interested

"Well this doesn't seem too bad, and it could be pretty interest-" I started to say, but my sentence died out when I saw Hiyori's face. She seemed not just excited, but extremely thrilled. "Uh, Hiyori are you okay?"

She snatched the paper from my hand and began to walk away. "Yep, this is so the job we're doing and none of you can say otherwise." she replied, leaving Yukine and I almost jogging to keep up with her as we exited the guild.

"Okay sure." Yukine responded. "You seem way too eager to do this though."

"Of course I am!" she squealed. "I'm a incredibly big fan of the martial arts, and I've always wanted to see a fight in person!"

"Who said anything about a live fight?" I questioned. Not gonna lie, it was fun watching her get this excited. I've never seen her this accelerated, but then again this was only our third time with each other.

Hiyori clapped her hands together. "I did. I mean think about it, I'm sure they'll let us see a fight. We're probably gonna be walking through the audience attempting to sell food or something. And therefore, we'll be able to see the fight."

"I guess you're right." Yukine commented. Hiyori began to go on about all of her favorite martial artists, competitions, etc. Me and Yukine looked at each other, both of us knowing that we should just let her go on.

Finally after following Hiyori for about twenty minutes, we arrived at the Magnolia Sports Center.

"Ya know I have to say, I didn't even know Magnolia had a sports center." I commented, looking up the the large round-shaped building standing in front of us. Hiyori snapped her head to me.

"Obviously it does." she replied harshly, then calmed down a little bit. "Then again, I guess you two haven't lived here your whole lives."

"You have?" I asked, wondering why I was even interested in knowing.

"Yeah, I used to live with my parents in a huge house just a few blocks from Fairy Tail. They were really talented healing wizards, and the they were both in the guild as well. That's why I joined Fairy Tail at such a young age, since they members too." she explained, staring into the distance as if she were in her own world.

"I guess you're telling us your life story now." Yukine added in rudely. I nudged him aggressively, hoping he get the hint to shut up.

"Sorry," she quickly said, realizing she'd come back to earthland. "I'm sure you guys don't care about me that much. I just felt like telling you guys a little bit about myself."

I put a hand on her shoulder, causing her to blush a little. "It's fine, really Hiyori." Although I did find it surprising that she would say all of that about herself to us so soon...

Then our moment ended when the man-whom I assumed made the request in the first place-approached us and I took my hand off of Hiyori.

"Are you three by chance wizards from Fairy Tail?" he asked.

"We are indeed." Hiyori declared. The man looked over Yukine and Hiyori, then he stopped as he glared at me.

"Where's your mark?" he inquired. I had to think about what he meant for a second.

"Oh, you mean my guild mark? Sorry this is all really new for me." I laughed, trying to make him relax a little, which of course didn't work. "Right, well here it is." I lifted up my sleeve to reveal my tattoo. "There, see it?"

"Hmm, this one is weird." he responded. "The torn clothing around his neck bothers me." I put a hand over my heart, feeling devastated.

"It's a fluffy-fluff scarf thank you!" I defended, pulling on it proudly.

"So that's what he calls it." Hiyori whispered to Yukine, making me feel even more offended. He nodded, looking like he was embarrassed for me.

"Whatever. You got a job for us or what Mr...?" I pouted.

"Berman. And yes," he started. "First thing I'd like you guys to do is to hand out programs. Wow you guys cut it short. The fight is in a few hours, so you three barely made it in time. I only need extra workers today cause it's one of the biggest brawls of the year."

Hiyori squealed a little. "Really?!" I laughed a tiny bit, she was so excited about this whole mission while me and Yukine seemed to care less. Well, with Yukine, a lot less. "Sir?" she questioned quietly.

"Yes, um-"

"Hiyori."

"Yes, Hiyori?"

"Is there by chance, a possibility of us seeing the fight today?" she inquired. Should've known she'd ask about that.

"Well, I planned to ask if you guys wanted free tickets as payment or 80,000 jewel as payment." he stated. 80,000 jewel?! There's no way we could accept that much, especially for a job like this!

"Guys, I say we accept the fight tickets." I offered.

"Obviously." Hiyori confirmed, nodding her head.

Yukine looked back and forth between the two of us. "No way! We should just take the money. You know how much we need that kind of reward?"

I thought about it a little. The money was really tempting, I could buy some more good luck charms and maybe some figurines, or servants if I saved up enough…

This was a hard change for me though. I've always lived by the five jewel standard. Any job me and Yukine managed to get, we'd charge five jewel. Now we could be receiving 80,000 jewel?

But technically… "Majority rules, sorry buddy." I affirmed, patting Yukine on the head. He of course slapped my arm away muttering something along the lines of 'idiots'. I shrugged, guess I didn't have to get used to big payments yet.

"So you guys want the tickets?" Mr. Berman asked us.

"Yep!" Hiyori cheered.

"Okay then, here they are." he said while pulling out three tickets out of his bag. "They're all front row seats. Now, for your actual assignment. I expect the three of you to hand out all of the programs as people walk in. After you run out, I would like you to stand inside, guiding people to their seats if necessary. And then after the match is over, I want you three to help clean up the place. Think you can handle that?"

"Your wish has been heard loud and clear!" I declared.

"It's not really a wish tracksuit boy." he beat on me for the second time. Hiyori and Yukine snorted, making me feel even more attacked. Why does this guy have to rag on my style of clothing so much? I think I look iconic. He then pulled out some programs and passed them out to each of us. "I'd start handing these out now, you can stand by the gates over there." he turned a little and pointed towards the entrance of the building.

"Alright." Yukine said, then started walking away as me and Hiyori began walking along with him.

~Hiyori~

After what felt like an eternity of standing in the sun, constantly saying things like 'get your programs here!' or 'the fight of the year is happening now! Get your programs to make it last a lifetime!', we finally went inside to help people find their seats.

And then after what felt like another century, we heard an announcement saying that only five minutes remained until the fight began.

"Think we can go sit down now?" Yukine asked. The three of us were together again since not many were still wandering around.

"I think so." I replied, trying to keep calm. These guys had no idea how pumped I was for this. I could never get tickets for myself, it would feel kind of weird going alone and they always got sold out way too fast. Especially tickets for a fight like this! I knew I would be on the edge of my seat the whole time.

I had memorized where we were sitting, so it didn't take us too long to get there and sit down.

"Guys." I started, getting ignored from the both of them. "Guys." I repeated. They finally looked over at me. "I am so excited for this. Like I was born ready to see this. I've only ever read about the martial arts. Every month I get an edition of the Sorcerer's Weekly magazine. But I only read the martial arts section, sometimes the other sport sections too. I don't really care about the other contents, although it's interesting what they have to say about Fairy Tail. I check out those articles too." I rambled, not being able to stop until the event began.

"Martial art fans, who's ready to watch something they'll NEVER forget?!" the announcer asked. I cheered excessively, along with most of the people in this arena.

The fight went by much faster than I anticipated, yet every second of it was pure amazingness and the three of us helped clean up until the very end.

"Time to go get some money!" Yato exclaimed as we made our way to the exit.

Yukine rolled his eyes. "Remember? We decided to get the tickets instead, we're getting just about zero jewels." Yato's smile faded as he realized we weren't getting any money. I was too hyped about the awesome fight to feel bad though. Okay, maybe a little bit. Money is nice after all.

"Well, you can always earn money, but you can't always see an amazing fight!" I cheered. "C'mon guys, you have to admit it was pretty amazing."

Yato and Yukine glanced at each other. "I guess." Yato commented.

"Experience is what counts, not just-"

"Hey you three!" someone from behind us interrupted. We turned around and found it to be the man who gave us this job in the first place, Mr. Berman.

"Hello sir." I waved.

"Was there something we still needed to do?" Yato asked.

"No no, you guys were great. Thank you actually." he started. "But, are any of you three a celestial wizard by chance?"

"I happen to be one sir." I replied. Yato and Yukine looked over to me.

"You're a celestial wizard?" they both questioned.

"Yes," I dangled my keys attached to a metal loop on the side of my light purple skirt. "Haven't you noticed these?"

"Not really." Yato commented.

"How could you not hear them shaking around-" I began, but then I remembered we were still having a conversation with our employer. "I'm sorry Mr. Berman. Why do you ask if I'm a celestial wizard?"

"Well, a huge fan of ours decided to give their martial arts key to us as a donation since he's retiring. While that's very kind, we don't have much use for it. I was gonna sell it, but just in case any of you wizards used celestial spirits, I wanted to offer it to you."

I couldn't believe this was happening. "Are you serious, you're willing to just give me a martial arts key? I didn't even those existed!"

"Wow, and you say you're a huge fan of the martial arts." Yato smirked.

"Hey!" I yelled as I lightly punched him.

Mr. Berman began coughed a little, hinting at us to stop bickering. "As I was saying, you want this key?" he held it out to me. I was pure gray like almost any other key, with the outline of a martial artist in red, engaged in a fighting position.

"Yes please." I answered, taking the key from his hands. I attached it to my key loop, eager to form a contract with it.

"Th-thank you so much!" I stuttered.

"You're welcome, and if I need your help again I'll just send another request to Fairy Tail. No promises that I'll have another key for you." he chuckled.

"You can count on us sir!" I chanted. The three of us walked out into the night and eventually we came to a point where I had to separate from Yato and Yukine.

"Seriously," I began before we completely split up. "thank you guys for letting me go to the fight and just this particular mission in general. Working with you two wasn't actually that bad!" I smiled, as did Yato. Infact, think I saw Yukine attempt to smile too.

"Not like we had a choice. But I suppose you're not too bad yourself." Yato replied. "So, meet ya back in the guild tomorrow morning?"

"Sounds good." I answered.

For about a week, we constantly went on missions. Yes, they were simple like master ordered them to be, but we were earning a decent amount of money.

Also during this past week, Lucy asked me over a piece of paper slipped under my door, if I could watch over her apartment while she was gone. Apparently, she and Natsu took an s-class mission and snuck away to go complete it. Although, they got caught pretty fast when Laxus told the master that he saw a 'flying blue cat' take the s-class mission from the second floor, which was obviously no other than Happy himself.

And of course master had a freak out when he learned this, so he sent Gray to bring them back.

But of course, that didn't work considering Gray never came back after that. So Erza had to finally get involved and the four of them are still gone right now. I hope they make it back safe, I'm sure they will. Lucy hasn't been here long but those four already make an amazing team.

In a way, I think the reason why I wanted Yato and Yukine to join so badly was so that I could have a great team too, instead of tagging along with random guild members like I always did.

I must say, I think we make a pretty great trio, despite not really using our magic on any of these past missions. Or, well just me and Yukine's magic. Now that I thought about it, why didn't Yato use any magic? I assume he's very talented with his sword (or katana was it?), since I couldn't forget that one awkward day at the restaurant where we almost got into a serious fight. That would of been a mess.

But hey, ever since then we haven't gotten that tense with each other. Sure, Yukine makes rude remarks all the time, but I heard from Yato that he was a pretty troubled kid when he was younger, so I tried not to push him over the edge.

I looked around Lucy's apartment, checking to make sure nothing was damaged, stolen, or other things like that. After about five minutes, I decided that everything looked good, so I locked her door (she also slipped me a key to her house) and began to walk back to my own apartment a few rooms down.

When I turned around from Lucy's door however, I found no other than Yato and Yukine standing at my own apartment door.

"Uh…" I uttered, not even knowing how those two had my address. They finally noticed my presence and Yato pointed directly at me.

"What're doing standing there Hiyori? Were you breaking in that apartment?! I had no idea you conducted in such activities!" he gasped, looking completely shocked.

"I, what?" I started. "No of course not!" I yelled back. "Lucy lives here, I was just checking up on her place while she was gone on a long mission."

"Who's Lucy?" Yukine asked calmly.

"Wait…" I muttered, beginning to walk towards them. Now that I thought about it, did Yato and Yukine ever get to meet Lucy and the others who were currently gone? "Oh, you two didn't get to meet her and some other wizards in our guild yet. It's a long story as to why they're gone. But hey, do you guys have more bags than usual?" I asked, noticing the large amount of items they were each carrying.

"Umm…" Yato responded, then cleared his throat. "Well you see Hiyori, we go on missions together quite frequently now."

"We sure do." I mumbled, beginning to feel suspicious.

"And so that means we're a team right?"

"Yeah I suppose…" I replied with a smile, he thought we were a team too… my smile faltered, what was he up to?

"And team members would do anything for eachother right?" he egged on, forming a mischievous grin.

"Yes…"

Yukine rolled his eyes. "Just ask her already Yato!"

"Ask me what?" I questioned.

"Okay." Yato widened his grin even more. "Will you let us move in?" he quickly splurged.

"Uh..." then it sank in. "What?! You want to live here? No way. No way! We already spend enough time together, and don't you guys have your own home? What about Fairy Hills?" I ranted.

"But Hiyoriii," Yato whined. "we looked there but Fairy Hills is so cramped, we each get like one room. Living that close to so many people is incredibly lowly for a god like me!"

"You're a god?" I asked, feeling puzzled.

"He thinks he's one." Yukine added in. "He's not, don't worry."

"I can dream can't I?" Yato complained. "Anyways, it would be so much better living here." he finished, turning his face away as he began to blush.

I glowed a little red too and then sighed, not being able find a way to say no. "Fine…"

Yato cheered, then quickly gave me a big hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! Yukine, we finally have a home! I told you I'd get you one someday." he said. I smiled, starting to feel like maybe I wouldn't completely regret this decision.

"But under a few conditions!" I ordered, trying to look more serious. "Both of you combined need to pay a third of the rent while l cover the other two-thirds. You guys have to help cook and do other chores too, and it's always my rules since it's technically still my house. Got it?"

"Yes ma'am." they both answered quickly.

"Great, well c'mon in." I replied, taking out my house key to open the door. "Welcome." I greeted as I flicked on the lights revealing my-well our- humble home. They both looked around slowly, taking it all in.

"Uhh… Hiyori?" Yato pondered.

"Yes, what'd ya guys think?"

"It uhh…" Yukine started. "Has a lot of artwork." Oh. I knew what they were both talking about.

"You mean my posters right? Aren't they amazing!" I squealed. On the majority of my apartment walls hung some of my favorite martial artists. Each of them had their own frame as well.

Other than that, I had a pretty standard house with a layout similar to Lucy's apartment. The only problem was, I currently had only one room available to spare.

"Hey guys, there's only one spare bedroom. If ya want, one of you can share a bed with me since it's fairly large until we get another one." I pointed out.

"I'll take you up on that offer." Yukine replied, looking like he was already heading towards my bedroom. Yato then laughed, pulling him back by his side.

"Not a chance kiddo. It's okay Hiyori, me and Yukine can share a bed, I'm sure we'll fit."

I shrugged. "Okay, I thought I'd offer. If you ever change your mind, let me know." an awkward silence began to emerge until suddenly a figure appeared right in front of us.

"Hiyori! It's been like forever since you summoned me!" no other than my fiery spirit of a volcano said to me.

"Ah!" I screamed, being completely startled. "What're doing here Igneous?" I asked.

"Hm, so this is one of your spirits. I was beginning to wonder if you even owned any other keys besides Tono." Yato commented.

"Ay of course I do!" I replied, feeling offended. "Although, Igneous here was my very first spirit." she nodded approvingly, then suddenly she gasped.

"Wait, who's Tono?" she demanded as stripes of deep red and orange began to form as if lava was spilling down her short brown dress.

"He's just, uh, another spirit I got no too long ago."

"You got another spirit without letting me know?! I haven't even seen him around the spirit world before! Summon him now Hiyori!" she screamed, ready to erupt.

"Okay, okay!" I obeyed, shaking as my hands fumbled around trying to find his key. Now that I thought about, I hadn't even summoned him yet! Then again, I haven't needed magic in a week. "I am linked to the path to the world of celestial spirits! Now, O' spirit, answer my call and pass through the gate! Open, gate of the martial artist, Tono!"

Before the four of us stood a very toned man with completely blonde hair. He reminded me of Gray since he didn't bother to wear a shirt with his fighting pants and white gloves that only covered about half of his hands.

"Remember everyone," he said boldly. "pave your own destiny, with your own hands."

"Oh my god, he's my new hero." I whispered, my eyes gleaming at Tono.

"He's your spirit!" Yato and Yukine exclaimed. Tono looked down to me.

"So you're my new trainee?" he asked.

"Trainee?" Yato asked, surprised by how Tono approached me.

"I wouldn't exactly call it that, but I would like to form our contract." I replied, eager to officially call him my spirit. I avoided looking towards Igneous, knowing that she's probably glaring me or Tono down right now.

"I believe there isn't a day that should be wasted resting." he stated.

"So you're willing to help me everyday?" I asked, shocked by his loyalty.

"Absolutely. In fact, I want to train you every day from now on, your muscles look like they could be much larger." he answered, poking my arms. "I could teach you some sick fighting moves and enhance your stamina. If you desire, of course." he told as he let go of me and punched the air a couple of times as if he were practicing.

I gasped. "You would do that?"

"Of course sweetie, first I'll show ya my favorite. I like to call it 'jungle savate'." he stated, ready to teach me some amazing techniques.

"Hold it." Igneous intervened, pulling Tono back despite being about a foot smaller than him. "Nice to meet you big fella, my name's Igneous. Now, I'm gonna have to let you two get on with that later because me and Hiyori have a lot of catching up to do since apparently EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED WITHIN A WEEK IN THIS WORLD."

"Well not the whole world…" I muttered.

"So, if you could go away or sit down and listen, that would be very appreciated because I need to hear her explanation." she finished. Tono decided to bid us farewell.

"Until next time, miss Hiyori." he bowed, then gave me a fist bump before disappearing. Igneous coughed as she sat down on my bed, tapping her foot impatiently. I took a seat along with Yato (Yukine claimed he felt bored and left to go to bed). I began to explain the rundown of everything that happened from my first failure of a solo mission to now.

"HIYORI IKI! YOU DECIDED TO WAIT THIS LONG TO SAY ALL OF THIS?!" she screamed.

"Well there's no need to get so loud…" I muttered.

"WHY YES THERE IS!" she began to look like she was spilling lava again, but this time at a much more rapid pace as she was ready to explode. I sighed, I really didn't need her to make a huge volcanic mess in my apartment. "Okay, okay. I'm calm. Sort of." she added. "But seriously, why didn't you tell us?! We spirits care about you Hiyori!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it mattered to you." I replied honestly as she steadily started to glow again. "Hey, hey. How about I tell you and the others everything for now on, okay?" I said, trying to calm her down, again. She then finally relaxed.

"Good. You better. And I hope you need me soon!" she answered, beginning to evaporate as she went back to the celestial world. Before she completely faded, she added one last thing. "And by the way, that one with the napkin around his neck, he's got a nice smell." He what? I stood still and tried to casually sniff the air. Now that she mentioned it, he did have a distinctive smell that wasn't too bad. I shook that thought out of my head, it didn't have to do with anything.

Yato wouldn't stop staring at me.

"What?" I asked, starting to feel embarrassed.

"You're spirit, is, um…"

"Crazy? Millions of bolts of energy? Yeah, I know. They're all like that."

"All?" Yato wondered.

"Yep, I've got celestial spirits of the hurricane, tornado, earthquake, and volcano; whom you just met. And I own the spirit of the martial artist now. They're all spirits of natural disasters, except for Tono of course." I explained, to no one as he passed out on the chair he'd been sitting on. "Huh?" I pondered, feeling shocked that he could fall asleep that quickly and right in the middle of our conversation! "Yato!" I yelled, trying to get him up.

He woke up slowly, as if he'd been sleeping for hours. "Whaaat…" he grumbled, wiping his eyes.

"Just go to bed already, I didn't let you move in here so that you could pass out on a chair during our conversations!" I demanded, trying to pull him off. He groaned even louder.

"You're so grouchy…" he complained as he dragged himself to his bedroom. I didn't bother trying to defend myself, clearly he wasn't in a good state to be having a conversation with.

I sighed, asking myself how just a week ago I was living alone, watching the world go by me as if I wasn't actually a part of it. And now, I had a team and two roommates, one of them being almost as crazy as my spirits.

I sighed again, but this time with a little bit of a smile.

A/N:
