"Come on." Ichigo complained. He and Orihime were down by the lake and Ichigo was trying his hand in fishing, but nothing was biting. "That blue hairball doesn't know what he's talking about. I think he's had one too many fish."

"If you don't like it, why are you doing this?" Orihime said.

"Happy said it's good for you." Ichigo said. "I don't know why I listened to a cat that talks about nothing, but fish. You don't have to stay if you don't want to."

"Are you sure you'll be alright? I did promise Rangiku that we would some shopping together." Orihime said.

"Go get new clothes or whatever. I'll be alright." Ichigo said. "Besides, at this rate, I'm on the verge of doing something you shouldn't see."

"Okay." Orihime said as she got up and left him. Orihime was walking through the forest, but she felt herself get colder. "What is this? Why is it getting colder?" She looked through the forest and saw parts of it was covered in ice. She looked into that part and saw one of her fellow members, Toshiro Hitsuguya. "Toshiro?"

"Who's there?" Toshiro turned around and saw Orihime was there.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to bother you." Orihime apologized, but she was able to look at Toshiro. She knew he was human, but it didn't feel like. She felt like she was staring at something that felt a little terrifying, but was also majestic.

"Story of the Slayers"

Orihime decided to leave Toshiro alone and went back into town. Ever since Orihime joined the guild, she and Rangiku have become pretty good friends. They just got done with a day of shopping as they carried their bags to the guildhall.

"What a day! We made great effort and got tons of great clothes." Rangiku said as they both took a seat. Orihime still seemed a little distracted because she was still thinking about this feeling she had when she saw Toshiro earlier. "Orihime, are you okay? There's something bothering you."

"Rangiku, how much do you know about Toshiro?" Orihime asked.

"Toshiro?" Rangiku said thinking that was strange to ask. "Pretty well I guess. He's been in the guild for about a couple years. Though honestly. Orihime, you can't be into younger men."

"That's not what I mean." Orihime said and felt her face get a little red. "It's just…I saw him earlier and when I did, I felt like I was staring at something else. The forest was covered in ice and it felt like Toshiro was something else."

"Oh. I think I get what you're saying. You're not the first to have that kind of effect when Toshiro's power is unleashed." Rangiku said. "That's from Toshiro's magic. He's actually a dragon slayer."

"A dragon slayer?! You mean like Nagato and his father?" Orihime said.

"Sort of, but maybe someone can it explain it better." Rangiku said as she looked around and spotted someone. "Uryu! Uryu, over here!" Uryu heard her call out and walked over to them.

"Yes? Can I do something for you?" Uryu asked.

"I was wondering if you can teach Orihime about dragon slayers since she just found out Toshiro is one." Rangiku said.

"Really? I be glad to." Uryu said.

"Great. I would do it, but I'm not a teacher and I need drinks." Rangiku said as she got up and went to the bar.

"Toshiro is a dragon slayer like Nagato, but Ichigo is a spirit slayer. What's the difference?" Orihime questioned.

"There's more than just those two and I would be glad to tell you." Uryu said. "I just need something." He looked around and saw the Dragneel family. He motioned for Orihime to follow as they went over. "Excuse me, Lucy. You wouldn't happen to have a light pen? I'm about to tell Orihime about dragon and spirit slayers with a lot more."

"Sure." Lucy said as she dug around her bag and pulled one out.

"What's a light pen?" Orihime asked.

"It allows a person to draw in thin air." Uryu said. "I'm going to use this to help you explain about the types of slayers."

"I would like to hear this." Nagato said.

"What's to know about dragon slayers?" Natsu said.

"A lot with the other kinds of slayers." Uryu said as he started drawing four different words in circles. "You see Orihime, there are more than just dragon slayers and spirit slayers."

"How many types of slayers are there?" Orihime asked.

"As of right now, there are actually four kinds of slayers." Uryu said.

"Four?!" Orihime said.

"That's right." Uryu said. He drew extensions to visualize the lesson. "Each one has a slayer that specializes in a certain element. We have dragon slayers, god slayers, demon slayers, and spirit slayers. People who learn any of these kinds of magic are able to use the elements. They are all also able to eat that element that helps make them stronger and replenish their energy, but it can't be their own. It has to come from an outside source."

"That's right. Though they are similar, there are some differences between them." Lucy said.

"Correct like it is clear that dragon slayers get motion sick from vehicles, but none of the others." Uryu said. "Let's start with god slayers."

"Um, what does any of this have to do with dragon slayers and spirit slayers?" Igneel asked.

"Yeah man. Just skip to the best ones….us dragon slayers." Natsu said.

"For Orihime to have a true understanding, she needs to know about all the others." Uryu said. "Now, god slayers are people who claim to have the ability to slay gods."

"Can people really do that?" Lilly asked.

"I'm not sure, but let me explain about them." Uryu said. "God slayers are people that specialize in elements like dragon slayers and spirit slayers, but no matter what, all of their attacks are black. Three were accounted. One was in a dark guild called Grimoire Heart. Another was in an allied guild, Lamia Scale. The only one still around is in our biggest rival, Sabertooth."

"So are demon slayers the same for demons." Orihime said.

"That's right. So far, the only known demon slayer is our very own Gray Fullbuster." Uryu said.

"Gray's a demon slayer?" Orihime asked.

"Yeah. Another one hasn't appeared since we defeated Tartaros." Lucy said.

"Then, we have dragon slayers." Uryu said.

"Finally, we get to the good part." Natsu said.

"If you didn't want to listen, why are you here?" Uryu said as he was becoming annoyed with Natsu talking. "Anyway, there have been four generations of dragon slayers. The first are those who were raised by actual dragons. That would be our own Gajeel, Wendy, and Natsu."

"Natsu, you were raised by a dragon?" Orihime asked.

"Sure was. In fact, we named Igneel after him." Natsu said as he rubbed his youngest son's head.

"But why would a dragon teach someone to kill their own kind?" Orihime said. No one had a clear answer to that.

"That's a long story for another time." Lucy responded.

"Let's get back on track." Uryu said. "There are also second generation dragon slayers. Those are people that have dragon lacrima in them. Our own laxus is one and I've heard of a man named Erik is one too. Third generation is a mixture of the two. There are two people like that named Sting and Rogue who are also in Sabertooth. Finally, there's the newest generation…fourth generation. Those are the children of dragon slayers who can use that magic and Nagato is one."

"That's right since my Dad is a dragon slayer. I'm one of the first of a new generation." Nagato said as he acted proud and boastful of himself.

"So what about spirit slayers?" Orihime asked.

"I'm glad you brought that up." Uryu said. "To be honest, no one knew spirit slayer magic existed until Ichigo showed up. As it stands, Ichigo is the only one who can use that magic. Out of all four of them, spirit slayer magic is the most mysterious."

"That's a lot to take in." Orihime said as she tried to keep track of everything Uryu just wrote. "So Toshiro is a dragon slayer as well. What generation is he from?"

"He told us that a dragon lacrima was put in his body a long time ago." Lucy said.

"So that means he's a second generation." Orihime said.

"Correct. It's most likely that second or fourth generation dragon slayers are going to appear this day and age since there aren't really any dragons left to raise or train humans." Uryu said.

"So that would explain the feeling I had when I saw Toshiro." Orihime said. "It was like I was staring at a dragon itself."

"It's like that with every dragon slayer. Just pray you don't become the receiving end of one." Lucy said.

"But what about the forest? Part of it was covered in ice." Orihime said.

"That's just a result of his magic. Probably from training." Uryu said. "Toshiro is known as the Ice Dragon Slayer. That means he can feed on ice that isn't his own."

"He better be careful or else he's going to be puking his guts out like Daddy." Igneel said. Orihime let all of she learned sink in and she has a better idea of all these kinds of magic.

The Forest

"Man, I can't believe this." Ichigo said as he was stomping through the forest after his failed attempt at fishing. "I couldn't catch a single dumb fish. Next time I see Happy, I'll skin him alive." Ichigo wasn't watching where he was going and he slipped on some ice. "What's ice doing out here."

"Ice Dragon's Roar!" Ichigo heard someone and saw a blast of ice shoot over him and it sounded just like a roar. Ichigo looked to see where it came from and saw Toshiro was doing some training.

"Toshiro!" Ichigo said and that got his attention.

"Ichigo, what are you doing out here?" Toshiro said.

"I was just about to ask you the same thing." Ichigo said.

"I'm only honing my skills in battle so I can keep up with everyone else." Toshiro said. "We have to be ready for anything."

"If you say so." Ichigo said. "I think I'll leave you alone. I'm going straight back to the guild." Ichigo got up and left him alone. Toshiro focused back on his training. Through all his training, he only had one thing on his mind as he did his training.

"I must get stronger." Toshiro said. He had flash images of going through his head. Himself when he was younger, an old woman, and an entire village that was completely encased in ice. "That will never happen again."

…

The day past and it became dark out. Out in the middle of the woods was a small group as they came around a fire that was burning bright with five figures standing around it.

"Are we really going to do this?"

"They're the strongest guild around. How are we suppose to take them down?"

"Numbers mean nothing if we're able to outsmart them."

"Think of the big reward we'll get once we do this?"

"Are you sure you want to do this boss?" The four figures turned to the boss and their leader had a big smirk on his face. All of them could feel his power as a big gust of wind blew around all of them.

"Oh yeah. We're small, but we're going to take them down. We'll go down in history. We'll be known as the guys that took down Fairy Tail."

…..

Orihime: Ichigo, if you can eat darkness and shadows, aren't you able to eat your own?

Ichigo: I thought Uryu explained it all to you. I'm unable to eat my own magic. I have to use an outside source.

Orihime: I can't imagine what it's like to eat that kind of stuff. Does it even taste any good?

Ichigo: Not at first, but you actually get a taste for it. You actually learn that there are different kinds with different flavor.

Orihime: Maybe I should try some for myself.

Orihime/Ichigo: Next Time: Panther Pounce

Ichigo: Orihime, for your own safety, don't try it.
