Chapter Three: The Book In The Mansion
"Time to wake up."
I heard Laxus's voice before I'm suddenly ambushed by the harsh sunlight.
I groaned and pulled the blanket up over my face as the blond man opened the curtains.
"Give me 5 more minuets." I mumbled from under the blanket, Only to shriek out when I was suddenly hit with cold air as the warm blanket was ripped from my body.
Curling my body up on the couch trying to keep the warmth I moved my head just enough to glare at the lightning mage standing there with him arms crossed while holding onto my blanket.
"Whyyyyy?"
"Because it's 8 o'clock. You want me to help train you don't you?"
My reply? Created another blanket on top of me.
Only for it to also get ripped off causing me to growl at him.
"Bully." I muttered under my breath as I sat up on the couch.
"Be glad I didn't drag you off that couch. Now here, eat this, I ain't gonna let you train on an empty stomach." He said as he threw something at me, catching it I saw that it was an apple.
"And you can also use the restroom if you need to." He said pointing to the hallway.
Nodding I sat the apple on the table in front of me before heading to the bathroom while Laxus went into his room, probably to change or something.
When I went into the bathroom I was impressed by the size of it: Large mirror above the sink, plenty of counter space, toilet, and a large shower/bath tub that I could actually sit and stretch out my legs unlike back home where I had to bend my knees because it was so small.
Looking in the mirror I noticed how my hair was in a total mess.
Well I can fix that up quickly. I thought as I used my magic to create a brush, rubber band, toothbrush, and toothpaste.
After about 10 minuets I had my hair up in a high ponytail with only a little bit of hair out framing both side of my face.
I looked at my clothing smirking before using my create magic, soon enough my body glowed as my clothes changed from my grey tank top and dark blue jeans to a white tank top, thin white/sky blue hoodie, grey shorts, and white tennis shoes.
Making sure I got what I needed done I made my stuff disappear and walked out of the bathroom to see Laxus sitting on the couch also eating an apple. Sitting down next to him I took my apple and bit into it.
20 minuets later we finished and were walking out of the apartment complex.
"So where's the rest of the Thunder Legion? On a job or something?" I asked Laxus.
"Yeah, I was actually going to go with them, that is until we found you, so I told them to go ahead and do the job without me. If all goes well they should be back sometime today or tomorrow." He explained.
"What kind of job did they take?"
"Dealing with a bunch of bandits a couple towns over in Kunugi."
"Interesting, I can't wait till they get back, I would love to meet them, I've always liked the Thunder Legion." I said as Laxus grinned down at me before patting the top of my head.
"Oh you will, don't worry Keira."
"Keira?"
"Nickname for you." I giggled a bit, I've never had anyone call my Keira before.
"Wow, first Natsu, now you. I wonder what other nicknames I will get."
The man next to me chuckled. "Oh i'm pretty sure Bickslow will find some kind of crazy name for you." I laughed.
"Ok now I don't know if I should be happy or scared!"
We both laughed until we stopped at an empty park.
Laxus's face turned serious as he turned to me.
"Alright, first I'd like to see just how much lightning you can produce."
I nodded closing my eyes and concentrated really hard and after about a minuet I was starting to feel static around my hands then slowly around my body.
"Now strike me with everything you got." I heard him say several yards in front of me.
I allowed the static to build up before opening my eyes and thrusting my arm out, blue lightning quickly charging towards the lightning dragon slayer.
He easily dodged the attack, but what I wasn't expecting was for him to also shoot his lightning towards me.
My eyes widened slightly before remembering something from the show Avatar the Last Airbender.
Quickly getting into stance I copied what General Irao taught Zuko as the lightning struck my fingers, the force making me slide back a couple feet before letting the lightning channel through my body while building it up then releasing it back towards the stunned dragon slayer, as it struck him and thick dust blew around.
My eyes widened in fear as I thought I somehow over did it, But when the cloud of dust cleared I sighed in relieve when I saw Laxus still standing with only a few scratches.
"You alright there Laxus?" I asked him as he straightened up and nodded.
"Never seen that stance before. Where did you learn it?" He asked me and I grinned.
"Remember when I had said that this was a show in my world?" He nodded.
"Well there is another show called Avatar The Last Airbender, where there are people that are able to control certain elements. That is where my elemental magic came from. That stance was something that only a very few advanced fire benders could do to produce or redirect lightning, I was able to remember how to do it when you shot me with your lightning." I explained as he smirked.
"Impressive. Good stance, and attack. Now, shall we continue?" I nodded once before getting into my fighting stance and continued attacking with lightning, then going into hand-to-hand combat before combining both the lightning and combat in our sparing.
No one's POV (Lucy's Apartment)
The birds were chirping and a slight breeze coming through the window as the blond Celestial Wizard woke up and stretched with a smile on her face. She felt refreshed and well rested. Looking around she couldn't help but smile wider at the fact that she was really in Magnolia and a member of Fairy Tail.
After deciding to soak in a nice warm bubble bath she couldn't help but think about all the reasons she loves this apartment, she was mentally listing out all that she loves from the moment she took a bath to the moment she stepped out of the bathroom to her bedroom only to find a certain fire dragon slayer and blue cat sitting around the now trashed room.
"MY BEDROOM!" She cries out in horror before slamming her foot into their faces against the wall.
"Get out of here you jerks!"
"Geez, we just came over to check out your new bed." Natsu moans out while rubbing his now throbbing cheek while Happy moans 'Aye' doing the same to his cheek.
"Oh yeah? Well what you call 'checking out' I call 'barging in'! And I'm pretty sure the police would call it 'Breaking and entering'. " The blond girl says furiously while the boys takes a step back from her.
"But we're just trying to be friendly." Natsu says as he inched slowly closer to the angry blond who has a vain popping out of her forehead.
"This is a serious invasion of my privacy." Lucy grumbles under her breath then looks over to Happy who's clawing at the wall making scratch marks.
"This is a nice place you got here."
"HOW ABOUT WE KEEP IT THAT WAY ALRIGHT!" She yells at the cat before noticing Natsu holding her writing, grabbing the stack of papers and kicking him away.
This is gonna be a looong day isn't it? She thought before dealing with the two boys and making a contract with Plue the Celestial dog that somehow looks more like a cute little snowman.
Plue said something and for some reason Natsu was the only one that could understand him.
"Alright, your right about that Plue." The dragon slayer gives the little spirit a thumbs up while Lucy looks at him shocked.
"You can understand him!?" She asks in disbelieve before he suddenly got up in her face and just stared at her, making her a bit nervous.
"What is your deal?" She asks quietly as he stood up strait with a huge smile.
"Alright, then it's settled, you're both gonna be apart of our team." He says as Happy jumps up cheering.
"Go team!"
"Your team?" Lucy questions quietly to which Happy explains.
"Aye. Even though everyone in the guild is allied to one another, some members who really get along get together and form teams within the guild. That way jobs that are too hard for one person to take can be done by a team."
"Awesome! Lets do it!" She exclaims as she and Natsu high fived each other.
"Cool so your gonna work with us?" He grins at her.
"Yep, you have my word." She answers grinning back at him as Happy and Plue cheers. Natsu smiles crazy huge.
"Alright team, lets get to work, I got our first job right here." He said holding up a piece of paper.
"Oh this is all happening so fast. Let me see what you got here." She smiles before snatching the paper from his hand and reads it while the pink haired boy grins mischievously and the two small animals are just dancing away on the table behind her.
"No Way! 200,000 jewels just for taking a book from some rich guy named Duke Everlue?!"
"Should be a piece of cake right?" Natsu grins wider knowing that she's about to realize what this really is.
"Huh? 'Please note: Everlue's is a dirty old man who's currently looking for maids WITH BLOND HAIR!?" Lucy looks up at the boys in shock and horror as she realized why they wanted her.
"We know a blond haired girl don't we?" Natsu asks innocently to Happy.
"Yep, and I bet we can find her a maids uniform too." The cat says back much to Lucy's dismay.
"Why you sneaky little- THAT'S NOT FAIR!" She cry's out before slumping to the ground.
"It's a good thing Celestial wizards never go back on their word, cause now your stuck with us." Natsu remarks cheerfully as Lucy looks at him in disbelieve.
"BUT YOU TRICKED ME!" She yelled out as he chuckled.
"Oh lighten up would you, now try getting into character and address Happy as your master."
"NO WAY!"
"Yes way, now get ready, we still need to find Kyra and then be on our way." Happy says as the blond girl looks at him surprised.
"Kyra? I almost forgot bout her." She looks to Natsu.
"Will she be coming with us?"
The fire mage flashed her his signature grin. "Well yeah, she should be able to come with us. She should be apart of this team as well, don't you think?"
She grins. "Yeah, so she doesn't have to be alone and she could also start making some cash, cause i'm pretty sure she doesn't have any."
Natsu suddenly frowns. "Yeah, but where are we gonna find her? We haven't seen her since she left us yesterday."
Both wizards started thinking about where they could find the brown haired girl when their attention was directed to Happy when the cat made a comment by the window about seeing lightning by one of the parks.
"Must be Laxus." Happy says watching the lightning striking, Natsu saying how he wanted to challenge him.
"Hey wait, didn't Kyra say something about finding this Laxus guy and returning his jacket?" Lucy asked as she started to notice that not only they could see the regular yellow lightning, but also some blue lightning as well.
"Aye, and that blue lightning must be Kyra. Do you think they're fighting?" Happy looks to Natsu a bit worried.
"Yeah, must be Kyra, but I think they must just be training, I've seen his lightning and he's not going all out on her." He says slightly grinning as he started heading to the door.
"Better head over there while we know where she's at." Lucy nods before following Natsu out the door with Plue in her arms and Happy flying right behind Natsu.
Kyra's POV
'Damn he's strong.' I thought as the both of us were breathing deeply.
We have been sparing for a good while now and about an hour a go I had to strip off my hoodie cause I started to get hot.
"I am very impressed, and that doesn't happen all to often." Laxus says as he stood strait and I did the same.
"Thank you, that means a lot to me." I said as he nodded.
"Is there any thing else you want me to try before we stop for the day?" I asked as he thought about it.
"Actually yes, there is one more thing I want you to try. Instead of moving lightning through your arms and legs, propel your lightning with only your body without moving. Like this." His body covered itself with electricity before suddenly lightning shooting up above his head and coming back down striking the ground between us, all without moving a single muscle.
"Now you try."
Nodding I closed my eyes taking a slow deep breath and concentrated on my lightning, feeling it surround my body, then I tried releasing it just like Laxus... only for it to suddenly blow up in my face.
I was flown several feet back before up back slammed into the tree behind me.
"Ugh, I don't think I did that right."
I moaned out in pain as my body was covered with static and I could tell that my hair was most likely standing up at different directions.
"You alright Keira?" looking up to see Laxus standing in front of me with his hand down to me.
"I've been through worse." I noticed him flinch a little at my words as I grabbed his hand letting him help me up and I felt him absorb all the static from my body as my hair fell back over my shoulders.
"Thanks." He nodded.
"Your going to need more work on that. We will stop for today and will continue training tomorrow morning."
I nodded. "Alright."
And just when we were about to head to the guild we heard a voice behind us.
Laxus grunted in annoyance as I smiled in amusement turning to see non other than Natsu, Happy, and Lucy.
"I see your getting some training in Ky." Natsu said grinning as I laughed.
"Yeah I need to make sure that I can use my magic for if i'm going against an enemy, though i'm gonna need more training with my lightning."
Happy flew up beside Natsu.
"We had a question for you Kyra."
"Oh yeah?" I looked at them curiously as Lucy nodded with a smile.
"We want to know if you'll like to a part of our team?" Natsu asked as my eyes widened a bit and I looked to Laxus to see him glaring at them.
Smiling I turned back to the group in front of us. "I'm guessing that you already have the job request: The book stealing gig right?"
They nodded. "Just making sure, and hell yeah of course I'll be part of your team." They cheered while I saw from the corner of my eye Laxus snap his head towards me with a look of surprise.
I looked at him. "What? I need to start earning some cash so I can get my own apartment so you don't have to deal with me forever. "
I looked back at my new team. "Plus It would be nice to be a part of a team."
He was quiet for a second before speaking again.
"I was going to invite you to be a part of the Thunder Legion." He said as my eyes widened wide at his words and I'm not the only one that heard him either.
"Hell no, she's staying with us, so back off before I pound ya ass into the ground!" Natsu started screaming at the blond man and before I could say anything Natsu was suddenly struck by lightning.
Laxus just stood there arms crossed glaring hard at the smoking heap of Natsu and so before anything else could happen I laid a hand on Laxus's shoulder and he looked over at me.
"Actually, I was thinking I could be on both teams and-"
"WHAT!?" Natsu suddenly stands up looking at me in disbelieve and before he could utter another word I used my create magic to have some duck tape appear over his mouth.
"Let. me. finish." I growled out and he immediately shut up but continued to glare at Laxus who glared back.
"Anyways, as I was saying, I can be a part of both teams and when one team isn't going on a job I could go with the other team. It also allows me to be around others who could help me improve my magic, cause while Laxus is helping me with my lightning Natsu can help me with my fire." I explained and chuckled when Natsu looked at me with wide eyes while trying to speak through the tape.
"That makes sense to be around those who share the same magic, specially if you need more training with them." Lucy says as I made the duck tape over Natsu's mouth disappear.
"Wait, you can use fire magic as well? What all magic can you use?!" Natsu exclaims as the two next to him look to me curiously.
I just smirked before creating another list for them in my hand.
"Why don't you come look for yourself."
They walked to me and Lucy grabbed the list. Laxus and I grinned wide at seeing all their eyes widen in disbelieve.
"WHAT!? YOU CAN REALLY DO ALL THIS!?" Happy exclaims.
"Yep, I just need some training and practice so it can be stronger during battles." I said with a hand on my hip as they just gawked at me before Natsu suddenly slung his arm around my shoulders with the biggest smile I have ever seen on that boy.
"That's great, that means you could possibly be the strongest wizard in Fairy Tail!" Laxus grunts glaring at the pink haired fire wizard.
"How can she be the strongest if she can't even beat me during a sparing match?" Natsu was about to retort when I interfered before anything could get out of hand.
"Maybe one day I might but as of right now, I'm far from the strongest. I still need more training on all my magic, then just maybe I might be able to beat you and Laxus in an actual fight." I said smirking up at the blond man. I can see the corners of his lips twitch a bit.
"In your dreams Keira." Rolling my eyes I turned fully to Laxus.
"I guess i'm gonna go ahead and go with them on this job and try to make sure flame-e-o doesn't end up destroying anymore towns." Laxus chuckled as Natsu yelled 'HEY, IT'S NOT MY FAULT!'.
Chucking myself, I turned to Lucy, Happy, and Natsu (Who is still yelling about how he doesn't try destroying towns, that it just ends up happening) walking towards them I grabbed Natsu by his scarf and dragged him as I followed Lucy and Happy while the fire dragon slayer continued to complain and yelling at me to let go.
Not a chance buddy.
Looking back behind me I saw Laxus walking away in the opposite direction.
Finally I decided to let go of Natsu.
"KY, IF YOU DON'T LET ME GO I'M GONN- Opf." He quickly got up and glared lightly at me before smirking.
"I'll get you back for that."
"Good luck Dragneel."
He mouthed 'just watch your back' and caught up next to Happy.
I smirked at him.
Good luck Natsu, you'll need it.
Stopping for a second I turned just a little so I can still barely see Laxus retreating form before deciding to try out one of my other abilities.
'Don't worry about me, I'll be alright. See you later Laxus.' My eyes widened when I saw him suddenly stop before spinning around where our eyes met.
'Well , I see you got telepathy down.'
'Yeah I just don't know how far I can use it though.'
'How about we go ahead and see how far it can go, you up for that?' He asked me as I smiled wider and turned back towards my team and started walking again.
'Yeah, if you don't have anything else to do then that sounds great. What are about to do?' I asked as I watched the three wizards in front of my talking and laughing together.
'Go to the guild, get something to eat maybe a beer or two and look at the job request board to see what job we could take you on when you come back.' He said.
'Alright, that sound good. Can't wait to be able to meet Freed, Bickslow, and Evergreen and to go on a job with you.'
We continued talking to each other and him being able to hear the conversations I would have with my team as they asked me questions about my life.
I was actually surprised that we were going to the train station instead of riding a carriage like in the show but didn't really mind it, nothing bad happens on the way to the place we're going.
But it wasn't until we got to the train station at the edge of town the connection started to start break just a tiny bit.
'Hey, I hear a bit of break in our connection, just a little, not much. Where you at Keira?'
'We just got to the train station at the edge of town. I'm actually surprised that the connection went out this far in the first placed, but if it's like my other abilities then maybe I could expand the radius of my telepathy with more training' I said as we got our tickets and Lucy and I had to drag Natsu , who was trying to escape having to ride the train of hell, by the arms.
"NO, I DON'T WANNA GO! YOU CAN'T MAKE MEEEE! NO! NO! NOOOOOO!" Natsu screams out with anime tears flowing down his face as we dragged him on board with Happy flying right in front of us.
"Now now Natsu, your gonna have to suck it up and deal with it." Happy said smiling.
'Is that Natsu? What the hell is he screaming about?' I heard Laxus' voice ask in my head.
'Lucy and I are dragging Natsu onto the train, bastard tried to escape so he didn't have to deal with motion sickness.' Laxus laughed and I guess he laughed out loud for I heard Mira ask him what's funny and I heard him say 'nothing'.
'Oh don't worry, I used my camera to take a video of it if you ever want to see it.' I laughed mentally as we found a seat on the train; Lucy and Happy on one side, Natsu and I on the other side.
'Deal.' He said as I glanced out the window.
After a minuet the train started moving and I couldn't help but slightly smirk as Natsu groaned next to me. I motioned that he could use me as a pillow and I created a little trash can in case he needed to use it.
Natsu laid his head on my lap while Lucy and Happy were talking about food, mainly fish in Happy's case, as I continued talking to Laxus until the connection broke up a couple minuets later.
I lightly scratched the sick fire dragons back and he didn't seem as sick as he usually did in the show, his face didn't look like he was about to puke, only a bit uncomfortable. I closed my eyes and laid my head back.
'How are you doing Natsu?' Said guy moaned slightly.
'Ky? How are you in my head?' I giggled mentally.
'My telepathy. I was using it with Laxus on the way here to see how far I could use it, only a little outside Magnolia while he was at the guild hall. So how you holding up?'
'It's not as bad as it usually is but is still very uncomfortable, what your doing is helping me a lot.'
'Well I'm glad to be able to help you.'
Natsu was about to respond when we heard Happy start snickering.
"They look soooo cute together. They are so in love."
'He did not just do that again!' Natsu growled.
'That's it, the cats dead meat now.' I growled as I created a human sized replica of the Phase Shifter from Transformers Prime before grabbing the cats throat, who now looked to regret saying what he said, before activating the Phase Shifter and threw the terrified exceed through the wall, his screams of fright getting interrupted by the train whistle.
I looked to see Lucy looking at me in complete disbelieve and terror.
I felt Natsu shift so that he was laying on his back. He looked at me a bit through one eye and had a slight grin on his face.
'Now that was funny, maybe now he will learn next time.'
'Hopefully but doubtful. This is Happy we're talking about.'
I sighed as Happy suddenly appears at our window scaring Lucy even more.
He was trying to keep up with the trains speed while desperately hitting the window and screaming to get back in.
I glared at the blue flying cat before placing my hand on the window and activating the phase shifter, causing Happy to suddenly fly straight into the already startled blond girl.
"I thought I already told you before, I can't have any romantic relationships with anyone for that could hurt the future especially for the person i'm with, so that is why I'm deciding to not get involved with anyone."
"But isn't that one of the highlights of life? Finding that one person that you love more than anything and spending the rest of your life with them?" Lucy asks with a dreamy look on her face and I smiled sadly.
"Yeah I know, and trust me I wanted to but everyone here already has a future with that one special someone and... I was never meant to be here in this world." Lucy snapped out of her daydreams and looked at me sadly.
"But- there has to be an exception for you, I mean your here now, doesn't that mean anything?" Happy quietly asked as I slightly shook my head and looked down to see Natsu looking at me a bit sadly.
"I'm afraid it doesn't. It doesn't matter that i'm here now cause I already know who suppose to be with who, or at least those within the guild."
"Wait, so you know who we are to with?" Lucy asks in what looked like hope and I couldn't help but laugh. "Yes Luc, you find someone very special and powerful and will be very happy, but that doesn't happen for a year or two so don't give up hope. And before you ask, I can't give you any more details about it." I explained as I had to fight to not look at Natsu while Lucy started fangirling about who could be her future lover.
This is gonna kill me cause I like several of the guys in Fairy Tail and one of them doesn't join till later. I don't know what i'm gonna do.
I nearly jumped a foot in the air when I heard Natsu's voice in my head.
'Isn't the future already changed since you got here? Why can't you just take a leap of faith with someone, even if that person is part of Fairy Tail?' Natsu said as I looked down at him.
'But I-'
'No, no buts. You deserve to be happy and have the life you want and with who you want. Just please, just like you told blonde don't give up hope.' I smiled softly down at the pink haired boy.
'I'll- think about it, alright Natsu?' He raised his eyebrow at me but nodded and stayed silent.
So for the next hour Natsu and I stayed silent while Lucy continued daydreaming and Happy munched happily on a fish.
As soon as the train slowed to a stop in the town of Shirotsume Natsu sprung up onto the seat with his hands on his hips yelling how the train finally stopped moving.
I chuckled at him as I followed Lucy out the train with Natsu and Happy following close behind me, and unlike the show Natsu isn't hunched over complaining about trains.
"Man i'm starving." He says as I nod in agreement from beside him.
"Can't you eat your own fire?" Lucy asks from the other side of him as he rolls his eyes.
"Oh yeah that's a great idea. why don't we just eat Plue and your cow while we're at it?" He says with heavy sarcasm.
"Why would I do something like that!?" She exclaims in shock.
"It's kind of the same thing." He says.
"So let me get this straight, you can eat fire but not your own? That's kind of lame." Lucy says right as we came across a small restaurant and Natsu's face lit up like the 4th of July.
"Whoa, let's stop and grab a bite." He says jabbing a thumb towards the small building.
"Nah, i'm alright but you three go ahead and enjoy." She says as she continues walking causing Natsu to frown and crossed his arms.
"What is it with her, we should be eating as a team."
"Oh well" Happy says from his shoulder.
I scratched the cats head before slinging my arm around Natsu's shoulders.
"Don't worry bout her, she's just needing to do something real quick. So why don't we go in and get something to eat, I haven't eaten since I got up and i'm starving." I smiled at him and he grinned back at me before we went in, ordered and picked a table on the outside patio.
Natsu and I sat next to each other and Happy was in front of us on the table as the several plates of different meats and fish arrived.
The three of us grinned at each other before digging into the food and oh my god the food was sooooo good.
We were more than half way through the meal that Natsu started saying that we should save Lucy some of the fat or something.
"From the looks of it that's what she likes the most." Happy says with a full mouth and I just about choked when I saw Lucy come up glaring darkly at the blue cat.
"Hold it right there cat, what is that suppose to mean?" She grinds out.
"Oh hey...Lucy?" Natsu looks at her surprised as she did a little pose in a maid costume.
"Come on boys, don't be shy, you know I look super cute in this uniform." She says as said boys looked at her shocked.
"Have you had enough food master or should I bring you some more? Your wish is my command." She says playing the main role and I couldn't help but face palm.
Natsu and Happy leaned towards each other to whisper...even though we can still hear them.
"What do we do? We were just kidding about the costume but she took it seriously." Happy whispers.
"I guess we'll just have to go along with it but don't say anything , okay?" Natsu whispers back as Lucy narrows her eyes at them.
"I can hear you!"
"My name's Kaby Melon, it's nice to meet you."
A man in who looked to be in his mid to upper 50s greeted from his couch, His wife stood smiling from behind him.
I refrained from face palming when Natsu and Happy started drooling.
"Oh man, he said Melon." Happy said.
"Oh man, you have a tasty name." Natsu said causing Lucy and I to sigh in irritation.
"Quit being rude guys." Lucy scolded as I nodded in agreement. "Yeah, please."
The man chuckled in amusement. "Don't worry, I get that a lot. Well first things first, allow me to tell you about the job. It's pretty strait forward really. Duke Everlue has a book called Daybreak in his possession. I would like you to burn it for me." Kaby explains as Natsu chuckled.
"No problem." He smiles holding up a fiery finger.
"I'll burn the whole place down if you want."
I chuckled as Happy made the comment, 'He does like fire'.
Lucy on the other hand wasn't amused in the least bit.
"I'm not going to jail for arson because the two of you!" She looks at them angrily while Natsu just frowned and the little fire went out.
I decided to jump in and steal Lucy's question. "If you don't mind me asking sir, but why burn it?"
"For 200,000 jewels, who cares?" Natsu looks at me as I raised an eyebrow at him.
"The reward has been raised to 2,000,000." Kaby informs us as we all looked at him in shock and disbelieve.
"TWO MILLION!" We exclaimed. I had totally forgot about him raising it, Holy shit 2,000,000 jewels split between the 4 of us would be 500,000 jewels each.
"I'm sorry, I had thought you were aware the amount had changed." Kaby says calmly as Natsu counted several fingers on both hands.
"TWO MILLION SPLIT FOUR WAYS! WOW I STINK AT MATH BUT THAT'S A LOT!" Natsu nearly exploded and I jumped in before Happy could try and split the money with only him and Natsu and leave Lucy and I with zip.
"Holy shit, 2,000,000 split four ways would leave us with 500,000 jewels each!" I said excitedly but then remembered that at the end of this we don't end up with anything, but I decided to not let them know that just yet.
"So why raise the award?" I asked and the man gripped his hands tighter and looked down towards the ground.
"Well, because it means that much to me. That book must be destroyed no matter the cost."
Lucy and I jumped when Natsu's head was suddenly engulfed in flames.
"Alright, i'm fired up now!" He exclaims before suddenly grabbing Lucy's and my hands and dashing out of the large house.
"Let's do this Ky and Lucy!"
Me and him grins as the other two are complaining about going to fast.
My grin widened when I remembered a faster way to go.
"Hey Natsu, I got a better idea on getting there faster." He actually slowed to a stop and Lucy collapse on the ground in exhaustion.
"Oh yeah? What do you have in mind?" Natsu asked in interest as I grinned before jumping into the air, using my create ability to bring forth a hover board that I remember sketching back home.
It was 4 feet long, dark magenta purple with bright Cyan blue circuit design.
The three wizards looked in awe as I landed on it.
"Why don't we fly there? Lucy be with me and Happy can carry Natsu, maybe even see who is faster."
Natsu grinned as he and Happy nodded but Lucy looked unsure.
"I-I don't know."
I chuckled a bit as I descended so that I was just hovering about 2 inches above the ground and held out my hand to the nervous blond.
"It'll be alright, I can easily control the hover board and I won't let you fall, just hold on tight."
I smiled when she hesitantly grabbed my hand as she stepped on.
"Alright, May the best wizard win." Natsu said as Happy grabbed him and started flying off.
I looked the girl next to me. "Hold on Luc."
Nodding she wrapped her arms around my body before I lifted us up into the air and zoomed towards the boys.
I caught up to them pretty quickly and by then Lucy seemed to actually enjoy the ride.
We all laughed while racing and looking for the mansion and after several minuets Lucy spotted it at the far edge of town.
I used my telepathy to tell Lucy to hold on before using Sonic Thrusts to propel us towards the wooded area in front of the large house.
"Hey no fair!" Natsu yells from behind us but I can tell he's smiling.
Soon enough we beat them to the tree line and the fire dragon slayer walked up to me.
"I'll beat you next time, for sure." He grinned with his arms folded behind his head.
"In your dreams Bro." I slung an arm over his shoulder and watched from behind the trees as Lucy walked up to the large metal gate.
"Excuse me I heard you had a opening for a maid position. Hello?" She yells wondering if anyone can hear her.
"Don't screw up, ok."
"Break a leg." Natsu and Happy whispers.
I shook my head at the two boys.
"Wow." I muttered quietly to myself but apparently Natsu heard me because he glanced at me beside him. Smiling slightly I rested my chin on his shoulder as we watched as Lucy was surrounded by Everlue and his hideous maids including Virgo.
"Just couldn't do it huh?" Natsu asks as he crossed his arms.
We were standing around a sulking Lucy who was against a tree with her knees pulled up to her chest and anime tears flowing down her face.
"I tried but that idiot wouldn't know beauty if it bit him in the behind!" She wined loudly as a vain popped out on her forehead before hitting her head on her knees as a fountain of tears came flowing out, making me take a step back as to not get wet.
"This stinks!" She cries as Natsu grinned, punching his fists together.
"Okay, I guess we'll have to resort to ole' plan T." He says as Lucy sprung up and brought up a clenched fist.
"Yeah, that big fat jerk is gonna pay for this! Wait a second, what's plan T?" She questions the boys as I chuckled.
"TAKE EM BY STORM!" Happy exclaims excitedly.
"That's not a plan!" She retorts back at them.
"No, we need to get up to the roof and I can phase us in." I said holding up my left wrist that still had the phase shifter before summoning my hover board.
"Wait, so we're not gonna break through their front doors?" Natsu asks disappointed.
"Of Course Not!" Lucy yells before getting on the board and holding on to me as I flew us up to the roof Natsu and Happy following close behind us.
Jumping off the board I made it vanish as I walked up to the glass door.
"So why are we not busting through their front door and taking them by storm?" Natsu asks from beside me.
"Because I said, now I need the three of ya to place a hand on me so I can phase us all through the door." I said as Lucy placed a hand on my shoulder and Happy landed on my head.
I blushed a little when Natsu grabbed my hand but activated the phase shifter anyways and we walked right on through.
"Wow, I kind of like that thing." Lucy says letting go of my shoulder and looking around.
"Aye." Happy says before flying down and finding a small skull mask.
'You can let go of my hand now Natsu.' I told the dragon slayer telepathically as he quickly let go and muttered a sorry while blushing.
'Just remember what I said before.' I said as we walked farther into the room we were in.
'Yeah, but remember what I said.'
'Yeah yeah, I said I'll think about it.' And with that I cut off the connection and continued walking when I heard Lucy ask if this was some kind of store room before Happy suddenly jumped out and scared the poor blond girl to death.
"Check me out!" Happy says excitedly turning to Natsu and me as Lucy fell against the wall trying to regain her composure.
"Yeah, your looking fierce Happy." Natsu laughed squatting down to the cats level as I chuckled getting down beside him.
"Looks like a good costume for Halloween." I said patting him on the head.
"Well, if the cats done trying to give me a heart attack we should get moving, I still want to get me revenge on this good for nothing creep." Lucy states walking to us.
Nodding I stood up and started towards the door with the others right behind me. Natsu, Lucy, and Happy started looking through different doors while I just shook my head and quietly continued walking down the hall.
"You might not want to open that door Lucy." I told the Celestial wizard when I saw her going for the door that lead to that creepy golden bathroom. "Trust me, the books not gonna be in there."
"Okay."
"Are we gonna have to search every room in this stinking place?" Natsu asks irritated probably because we're not just gonna burn down the mansion.
"Well yeah." Lucy responds annoyed.
"I think we should take a hostage and force them to tell us where the book is." He says as he turned to us Happy agreeing with him.
"The whole idea is to not be seen, you dummy. You got to be stealthy, like a ninja." Lucy says as I smirked before changing my clothing to a black fitted shirt, black stretchy skinny jeans, hooded shall that covers my whole face except my eyes, black leather combat boots, and fingerless leather gloves with silver studs. I had a black belt with a attached concealment for my throwing knifes and stars, I also had a strap across my back that held my katanas in an 'X' formation. I decided then that this will be my main Ninja/ Assassin outfit.
"Like this Natsu." I chuckled when Natsu looked to be daydreaming about 'real ninjas'.
"What's going on inside that head of yours." Lucy asks sorta afraid what the fire mage is thinking of but before she could get any kind of answer the floor behind Natsu exploded four of the ugly maids appeared wielding weapons.
"Intruder Alert Virgo!" They said simultaneously as the huge ugly version of the maiden appeared. "Lets crush them girls."
"We're toast!" Lucy exclaims as Natsu and I ran towards them.
He threw a fiery fist at the four while screaming 'Ninja Power!' and I went for Virgo as she attempted to body slam Natsu.
Taking my katanas I channeled my lightning to the swords as I sliced at the giant, knocking her back several feet in the air before Natsu slammed his foot into her sending her to the ground on the floor below us.
I turned to Natsu to see that he used his scarf to try and mimic what I have, all you could see is his eyes, he held up his hands strangely as Happy did the same on his shoulder.
"We mustn't let ourselves be discovered because we ni-ja." Natsu said in a different accent and Happy copied him. I chuckled and shook my head.
"Ninjas are suppose to be quite you guys." Lucy said looking about ready to just give up on the two.
I patted the girls shoulder. "You'll get use to it. Now lets go, I think I know where the book is at."
I started running, the others hot on my heels, to the end of the hallway where two large doors are.
Natsu and Lucy opened the doors as I slowly walked in with my katanas drawn just in case. Looking around I saw no sign of danger.
"Clear." I said using my katana to motion them in. Natsu and Happy stood on my left while Lucy was on my right.
"Whoa, there are many books in this library." Natsu says.
"Aye, there are indeed." Happy agrees.
"Wow, who knew Everlue was a huge bookworm?" Lucy asks herself as the two boys broke there Ninja character and started jumping up and down.
"Well, lets start looking!"
"Aye, sir!"
I threw my katana out in front of the boys making them jump and Lucy take a step away from me as I glared at the two.
"Do Not let down your guard, we don't have much time until they come back with company. We need to find that book and get out of here." I said before trying to think back to the show to where Daybreak would be at.
"It'll be around here, It's gonna be yellow and sparkly." I told them as I led them to the spot where I remembered Natsu had found it.
"Hey I think I found it!"
And of course he would still be the one to find it.
We turned to the pinkette holding up the book with huge grin and Lucy gasp.
"You found it. 2,000,000 jewels here we come."
"Awesome, now lets spark it up." Natsu says lighting his other fist on fire.
"Hold on a second." Lucy snatches the book from Natsu's hands.
"I didn't realize that this was written by Kemu-Zaleon."
"Zaleon what?" Natsu asks confused.
"Zaleon was a great wizard and a amazing novelist. I'm such a big fan of his work and totally positive I've read every sentence he's ever written but this must be an unpublished novel." She hugs the book to her chest.
"Oh yeah, well who cares it all burns the same to me." He says igniting his finger as Lucy holds the book protectively against herself and turns away from the fire wizard.
"Don't you dare touch it, this is a great work of literature, you better stay away from it pyro." She warns as I just stayed back and watch this play out.
"But what about our mission?" Happy asks creepy like.
"Forget about the stupid mission!" She yells at the cat.
"Failure is Not an option." Happy says back as he and Natsu starts ganging up on the poor girl who is starting the back away from the two.
"Come on guys, let's just say we burned it, I'll keep it a secret I swear." She whines as tears flowed down her face.
"But I'm not a liar." Natsu also says creepy like. "Aye" Happy agrees.
I walked up behind Natsu and grabbed his shoulder, snapping him out of trying to get the book. "I know your not going to like this but we can't burn the book, there's more to it than ya realize."
"WHAT!?" The boys yelled.
"Damn it, will ya two just fucking trust me!" I yelled before turning to Lucy.
"I don't know how much time we have before they find us, use your glasses and you'll know what I meant that there is more to that book than meets the eye." Nodding she takes out the glasses and starts rapidly flipping through the pages, letters speeding around her.
"Well well well, what do we have here?" I cursed as the voice of Everlue before he busts through the ground behind us.
"So you thieves are looking to pry Daybreak from me are you, Hoi Hoi Hoi." He says landing on the ground.
"Times up, they found us." I said getting into battle stance with Natsu doing the same beside me.
"I knew you low life wizards were coming around to take something of mine, I never would have guessed it would be that stupid book." I glared at the short man.
"Stupid?" Natsu questioned quietly to himself.
"Well this works out great, if it's so stupid then is it fine I keep it?" Lucy asks turning towards Natsu and me.
"It's mine you can't have it, get your grubby hands off it!" Everlue yelled at her.
"Greedy gut." She mutters.
"Shut your trap ugly." He says causing Lucy to fall face flat to the ground in depression.
"Man, you need to get yourself laser eye surgery because she is quite the opposite of ugly, she is in fact a very beautiful girl, but of course someone like you would be very blind to see that." I growled out as Lucy looks as me gratefully.
Everlue glared at the four of us. "I've had enough, how dare you put your filthy hands on my possessions. Now, come fourth Vanish Brothers!" He calls out and part of the book shelve split apart to reveal two tall men, one with a long braid and a large frying pan, one taller with a headband and crazy hairstyle.
"You called upon us sir?" Fry pan asked emotionless.
"Can you believe these punks are from the Fairy Tail guild? Talk about a bunch of runts." Headband says looking down at us.
"Such big words for someone who's about to get their asses handed to them on a silver platter."
We glared at each other hard but neither of us backed down.
"That sign means that there from the Southern Wolves, a mercenary guild." Happy points out as Natsu cracks his knuckles.
"So, you got bodyguards do you." He eyes Everlue.
"Hoi Hoi Hoi the Southern Wolves are always hungry for fresh game. Say your prayers thieves." I looked at Lucy to see her giving me a questioning look, nodding to her she ran out the door beside us.
Suddenly Everlue starts descending into the ground. "I'm going after the girl, make sure they don't leave here in one piece."
"Yes sir." Stupid One and Stupid Two said in unison.
I turned towards Happy "Happy go with her, she may need your help, I'll stay here with Natsu and help knock these guys down a peg or two."
"Aye." He says before flying over the two brothers.
"Whoa, you sure talk big for such a little girl." Headband said.
"Perhaps we should put them in there place, so your a fire wizard?" Fry pan asks Natsu who is stretching his arm.
"Yeah, but how did you know that?" He asks and I decided to answer for him.
"Because they saw the fire you used when we were fighting Virgo."
"And it's obvious that your an ability type wizard." Fry pan said.
"And I'm guessing your a lightning wizard. We saw the lightning on your katana's." Headband stated towards me as I smirked under the hooded shall.
"I guess you could say that."
"So I guess you know what happens when you play with fire." Natsu body erupted in flames. "You get burned!"
He tried punching them with a fiery fist only to have the flames be absorbed into the over sized frying pan.
"Sorry to break it to you kid but fighting fire wizards is something we do well."
Fry Pan hits Natsu with the pan sending him back a bit.
"Very well." Headband jumps into the air to get a hit on Natsu only to get hit by my lightning.
"Not gonna happen." I said as electricity surrounded my fist before suddenly Natsu's body slammed into mine sending us through the doors and over the railing down to the floor below us.
Natsu grabbed me before landing on part of the golden stature of Everlue.
"Thanks Natsu." I thanked him as he set me down.
"Your welcome Ky." He says before glaring at the two men on the second floor.
"Fairy Tail may be a big time guild and all, but you pathetic wizards are no match for trained mercenaries like us." Headband glared down at us.
"Well if that's your best then your dead wrong." Natsu smirks as I formed a smirk of my own to match.
"It's ya that are no match for us." A vein popped out on Headbands forehead.
"Whoa, these kids really think they could beat us?" I placed a hand on my hip.
"Oh we don't think, we know."
"Do you happen to know a wizards greatest weakness is?" Fry Pan asks emotionless.
Natsu looks up at them surprised. "Whoa, you talking about motion sickness?!"
I Face palmed. 'It's only Dragon Slayers that have motion sickness .'
'Really!?'
"Umm, I think that's more of a personal problem."
"Is he making fun of us!?"
"Their weakness is... THEIR BODIES!" Fry Pan exclaims before launching towards us.
Natsu and I were just able to leap away before the man swung the pan into the large stature, knocking off the tong.
"Since wizards focus so intensely on honing their mental abilities..." Fry Pan started before I shot a bolt of lightning at him, only for him to dodge it at the last second, the bolt hitting the stature causing it to explode.
I brought my arm up to my mouth as dust surrounded me but I was still able to hear Headband going after Natsu.
"They neglect to train their bodies which leaves them physically weak."
Calming my breathing I focused on the air around me, feeling the different shifts in the air paths as I used Soul Energy Seer.
There were two by the wall farthest from me, I could see a bright red and orange with flames around it dodging away from a dark navy energy with a band across the top of it.
Then suddenly the third soul appeared several feet in front of me, a white with several characters around it, I can tell it was coming closer to me.
That's when I felt the slightest breeze and it was then that I got an idea to try another one of my Element abilities. Bringing my other hand up I slightly moved my fingers and saw the air and dust moving as well. Smirking slightly to myself I got into a stance that Avatar Aang used before Air Bending, and the second I saw that over sized pan start flying towards me, I gave a shout as I thrusted my hands out towards the tall skinny man.
A large stream of air slammed into him sending him back out of my site before I heard him impact the wall.
Punching my fists together I forced the air to propel away from me on all sides, clearing the dust.
"What the...?" Headband exclaimed before going over to help his buddy.
"I must admit, I did not see that coming, however, we focus on our physical abilities." Fry Pan says standing readying an another attack.
"So we have more power and speed than you both." Headband states.
"Ohhh I'm so scared, why don't you stop your blubbering and lets dance." Natsu temps them.
'Hey Natsu, once they do their Combo attack, I'm gonna go on and give Luz a hand, she may need it.' I told him telepathically as the two brothers started their attack.
I didn't want to get in the fire dragons way when he destroys the freaking mansion with his dragon fire. Summoning my hover board I hopped on and activated the Phase Shifter, the attacks going right through me like I was nothing before I Phased through the ground towards where Lucy and Happy are.
*BOOM*
"Well there goes the mansion." I laughed.
At least it wasn't the entire city this time.
"What secret does it hold? Let me guess, he buried his fortune and there's a treasure map hidden inside." I heard the voice of Everlue as I phased through above them. He was holding Lucy's arms behind her back as his looked at the book almost drooling, causing me to grimaced.
"Nothing like that i'm afraid." I said deactivating the phase shifter, smirking when all of them jumped in fright before I sent a bolt of lightning towards Everlue. And just as I suspected the man pushed Lucy away and dodged the bolt, but before he could do anything else he was struck in the face by Happy.
"Happy! Kyra! That was so cool!" Lucy exclaims happily. The blue exceed cackled until his winds disappeared and started to fall towards the river of sewage, but I was able to catch him just in time.
"What's this? A flying cat? And that brat?" I glared at him.
"Name's Kyra."
"And the Name's Happy." Happy says from my shoulder.
I jumped down from my hover board beside Lucy as she brings out one of her keys.
"It's looks like the tables have turned, but if you let me keep the book then I'll think about going easy on you, though i'm tempted to give you a good smack." She said as she held out Cancers gate key.
Everlue looked at the blond girl. "Ohh, a Celestial wizard? But for a reader you seemed to be a bit deficient in your terms of praise. The tables have turned implies that the weaker party has rallied to claim victory. But there's no way you, that brat, nor that cat could ever defeat me and my diver magic. HOI HOI HOI."
I cursed when he suddenly dives through the concrete.
"So he could do that using magic? I had no idea Everlue was a wizard too."
He was going all over the place and non of us could pinpoint where the hell he was at or the next place he was going to pop out at.
"Damn it, I can't keep up with him." I growled out as we dodged the attacks.
"Look I know the whole story now. It's an horrible adventure novel about a trashy little character named Duke Everlue." Lucy yelled out in anger and Everlue stopped his attacks.
"You serious?" Happy asks.
"I don't know if I would call the protagonist 'trashy' but yes!." Everlue went back underground before going back and forth above us while insulting the book and the writer.
I tried striking him with lightning but he was too fast.
Suddenly he jumps down at us, barely giving Lucy and I enough time to dodge out of the way as he dives back into the ground.
"I can't believe your arrogance. You forced him to write it!" Lucy exclaimed. He continued to say how he wanted a book written in his honor, no matter the circumstances.
"So why did you blackmailed him into it?" I asked for Lucy as rocks and stones were falling into the water from the holes Everlue put on the ceiling.
"Blackmail?" Happy questions.
"What's the big deal, he just needed some encouragement to take the job." Everlue's head pops out from the bottom of the wall behind us.
Lucy didn't look impressed. "Oh really?"
"The fool could have jumped at the chance to have me as his muse, but he had the oddicity to say no." Now it looked like he was freaking swimming through the concrete before diving underground. The three of us jumping when his arm popped up behind us with his fingers in an 'L' shape, shaking them side to side.
"So I gave him the addiment inspiration in the form of an altemaden. Write the novel or his family would be stripped of their succession." Happy gasps in disbelieve.
"But they wouldn't be able to join any of the guilds and make a living! Do you really have the power to do that?" He questions. The arm disappeared back into the ground before he came out of the ground right between us and we had to dodge yet again.
"I have the power to do anything!" He exclaims.
"I got him to write it didn't I? But I didn't like his attitude. So I decided he could write best from a prison cell. Hoi Hoi Hoi. He went on and on about being a brilliant novelist who would never give in to threats. But in the end I got what I wanted!" He spun his body so fast it was like a human saw as he came after us.
I grabbed Lucy and jumping out of the way before shooting multiple lightning bolts, gritting my teeth in frustration when not one bolt hit its mark.
"Damn it! He's way too fast, I can't hit the bastard!" I yelled out.
"I can't believe you'd got so far to boost your stupid ego. He was in solitary confinement for 3 years. Do you know how hard that must have been?"
"Three whole years?" Happy asks in shock. Then without warning Everlue sprung up right in front of us knocking us back a bit.
"Perhaps it took him that long to appreciate me. Hoi Hoi Hoi." He say darkly.
"Your wrong. More like he couldn't bare to spread, but he had to satisfy your vanity. He knew if he didn't write your character as a heroic champion of Justice then his family would suffer." Lucy glares hard at the man in front of us.
"Now tell me, how exactly do you know this?" Everlue questions her.
"It's all here in black and white." She holds up the book.
"What?" He looked at her confused. "I've read that book from cover to cover. And Kemu-Zaleon isn't in it." I decided to jump it at that moment.
"Well yeah, when you read it normally there's no mention of him. But we know something you don't know. Long before becoming an author he was an wizard." I placed a hand on my hip and glared at him.
"He was?" Happy asks curiously.
"What did he do?" Everlue growls out and this time Lucy responded.
"After he finished the book he gathered all his remaining strength and cast a spell on it."
Everlue started shaking in rage. "What a dirty trick. He turned a great book about me into a hatchet job! THE NERVE OF THAT FOOL!" He yells out before diving back underground and coming up from under us. We jumped up to yet again avoid the attacks.
I turned in mid-air and shot another bolt of lightning at him and this time it struck it's target.
"About damn time!" I exclaimed as the force knocked him against the wall in a daze.
"Oh get over yourself! It's true he wrote about all the pain and torture you put him through." Lucy started.
"But the chapters that focus on what you did to him are only a small part of the book. In fact the secret has nothing to do with you." I finished and Happy seemed to be drooling at the mouth, telling us to reveal the secret as Everlue slowly stood up and looked at us in disbelieve.
"What the devil do you mean?!" He exclaims.
"We're not giving this book back to you because it was never yours to begin with." I said as my arms crackled with electricity and Lucy brought out one of her other keys.
"Open, Gate of The Giant Crab: Cancer!" Suddenly a half man half crab stood in front of us with a scissors in each hand and Happy just completely losing his mind.
"Shut up and let me concentrate or I'll have him pinch your little lips off." Lucy glares at the cat and Cancer goes on to asking Lucy if she wants her hair done. I face palmed when Happy makes the comment that he just makes the enemy look cooler for when they kill us.
Everlue seemed to have gotten over the lightning strike (which wasn't the strongest cuz I don't want to do to freaking PRISON for KILLING the man!) and was shaking in rage before pulling out Virgos gate key.
"Things just now got interesting." I said getting into stance as the electricity intensified up my arms.
"Open, Gate of The Maiden: Virgo!"
"What the-?!" Lucy looks on in shock.
"He's using your trick Lucy!" Happy exclaims as the giant form of the spirit appeared from underground.
"My master summon me?"
"Go fetch me that book." Everlue commanded pointing at Lucy.
"Hold up, she's a Celestial Spirit?!" Lucy looks up at the giant stunned before we all look up on her shoulder in disbelieve.
I had completely forgotten about this part! I thought as we stared at the pink haired wizard.
"Natsu!?" Lucy, Happy, and I exclaimed.
"Yeah?" The Fire Dragon asks a bit disoriented.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Everlue questions.
"What are you doing up there?" Lucy questions him.
"Well, I saw her getting up so I jumped on her and then all of a sudden, I ended up here." He explains a little confused.
"So you grabbed a hold of her inside the house? But that means you must have passed through the spirit gate with her! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Lucy screams.
"Ky! Lucy! What the heck do I do know?!" He asks as Virgo tries to grab him.
"Finish what you started!" The both of us yelled at the same time.
"Virgo, clean up this rubbish!" Everlue commands as Natsu jumps down to the ground.
"As you wish Master." She says as she throws a large fist towards Natsu. I sent a large bolt of lightning towards her at the same time Natsu used his Fire Dragon Roar while Lucy had Everlue tied with her whip and threw him into the air where Cancer finished the job... As well as made him bold.
"Your just another greedy villain."
"Ok i'm done, does this look fabulous or what baby?" Cancer asks Lucy and I nearly fell to the ground dying of laughter when Natsu said 'Oh yeah, way to go crab man' before eyes widening 'u-uh baby?'
Natsu looked at me with an eyebrow raised but before he was able to say anything the place started shaking.
"Shit!" I exclaimed before summoning my hover board (also doubling its length).
"Everybody get on!" I yelled and all three of them climbed on, I was in front of course, with Natsu right behind me, Happy on his shoulder, and Lucy behind Natsu.
"Hold on tight." I activated my Phase Shifter right before we got hit by a large stone and flew upwards and through the falling debris.
We made it out just as the house was crumbling to the ground.
Lucy's jaw dropped as she watched the mansion go down as they all jumped down from my hover board.
"Heh Heh I like ya'll's style, 'Out with a bang!'. You two are defiantly going to fit in just fine in Fairy Tail." Natsu grinned with his hands folded up behind his head.
"But, aren't we not suppose to destroy stuff?" Happy asked as Lucy groaned.
"I hope I don't get blamed for this."
I chuckled as I got in between them and put my arms around the both of them. "Hey be glad it was just one house and not half the town."
"HEY!" I laughed as Natsu narrowed his eyes at me playfully.
I stuck my tongue out at him. "It's true."
Lucy handed the book the Kaby unharmed while I stood beside her and Natsu and Happy behind us.
"When I requested this book be destroyed. Why are you handing it back to me unscathed?" Kaby asks.
"If you really want to burn it, then I would rather you do it yourself." Lucy tells him.
"I most certainly will burn this trash. I never sever want to see it again." Kaby's hands shook with emotions.
"I completely understand why you feel the way about this book Kaby." I said.
"You want to protect you father's legacy, because your actually Zaleon's son, aren't you?" Lucy asks him as I can hear Natsu and Happy gasp in shock.
Kaby was silent for a couple seconds before speaking. "Yes, that's true."
"Have you read it yourself?" Lucy asks.
"No I- couldn't never bring myself to do it. My father told me it was garbage." I jumped when Natsu spoke up from behind me.
"You were just gonna burn it?"
"Yes I was."
Natsu stomped up towards the man before grabbing his neck collar.
"Without bothering to see what's inside? It's the last book that your dad wrote right? Some of us would kill for that kind of memory!" Natsu yells in anger and sadness. But his words had hit me in a way that reminded me of when I was six and Daddy died.
My vision blurred with tears as I rushed to pull Natsu off the man and hugged him tight as I buried my face into his back.
"That's enough Natsu, let Kaby explain himself!" Lucy yelled at him.
"Trust me Natsu I know what it feels like." I said without moving my head.
I felt him move a bit probably so he can look at me.
"When my dad died I wanted nothing more than to have several videos of him playing his guitar and singing the songs that he would always sing." I looked up at his and I was able to see his eyes widen through my tears.
My grip on him had loosen enough for him to turn around in my arms and pull me into his chest. "I'm so sorry Ky, I didn't know." He said softly as I quietly cried into his arms.
I hated crying in front of people but I couldn't hold it back. I know what Natsu is going through, I know the pain. Natsu held me in his arms as Happy rubbed my head gently in comfort while Lucy and Kaby continued their conversation.
It took me about 10 minuets to calm my crying to shaky breaths and a few hiccups, but continued to stay in the Fire Dragons embrace.
Soon the hiccups stopped and my breathing got closer to being normal. It was then I was able to get a good whiff of Natsu's scent.
I smiled a tiny bit when I realized that he smelt like a campfire. I had always loved the smell of a campfire. I though to myself before slowly pulling away and wiping my tears as I looked up at Natsu with a small smile.
"Thank you Natsu."
"You welcome Ky."
But before I could say anything else we heard Lucy. "No, your wrong."
We turned to see Kaby holding a lit match under the book before it suddenly blew out.
"Kaby look!" Lucy says before suddenly the book glowed a bright purple. We all covered our eyes from the bright light before looking back at it floating in the air.
"A spell has been cast on this book, work of the wizard Kemu-Zaleon. Or should I say Zekua Melon?" Lucy states as the letters on the cover starts to rearrange themselves. and now it says-
"Dear Kaby." Kaby reads.
"That's right." I said as I took a step towards the stunned man. "This book is his letter to you, disguised behind a spell that rearranged all of the words, So no one else could read it" I finished as we watched in awe as the books pages rapidly started flipping before the room filled with all sorts of words and letters.
"Wow." Natsu breaths out from beside me.
"Pretty." Happy says as he lands on my shoulder.
"He didn't stop writing because he was ashamed. He stopped because he had finished his masterpiece. A novel containing everything he ever wanted to say to his beloved son. and when you read it the way it was intended, it's easily his best work ever." Lucy explains as Kaby watched everything with tears in his eyes.
I smiled softly as the glowing stopped and the book was finished rearranging everything before landing in the mans arms.
"Now that the spells been broken, you can read it for yourself." I told him as he plopped on his knees and hugged the book to his chest.
"Thank you father, I promise I won't let any harm come to this book." He says as Natsu turns to us scratching the back of his neck.
"Well I guess we won't be collecting that award."
"Aye."
I smirked as Lucy looks at him shocked. "Huh?"
He looked at the blond. "We were suppose to destroy it. We didn't finish the job."
Kaby looks up at us as Natsu and I started walking away, Lucy and Happy still standing where they were at.
"Even so, let me do something."
"Yeah, it's not our fault he decided to not burn the book after we got it back for him." Lucy says desperately.
"Lucy, don't be so greedy, your totally ruining what was a touching moment." Happy scolds he.
"I need the cash!" Lucy snapped back and I shook my head at her.
"Thanks for the offer but we don't want it." Natsu says without turning around, gaining the other two members of out teams attention.
"Uh yes we do. I need to pay rent!" Lucy exclaims running after us. Natsu stops as do I.
"I think it's time we all go home." Natsu smiled as we turned to the others and I looked at Kaby.
"That means you too, go back home." That all looked at us in surprise that the two of us knew that this wasn't actually their home.
I waved at the husband and wife before wishing them luck.
"Let's walk. Save some cash. And it's good exercise." Natsu says as we turned away from the direction of the train station.
It was dark now with the moon and stars shining bright enough that I was still able to make out the road in front of us.
I snorted. "Or because somebody doesn't want to ride the devils train to hell."
"Bingo!" He says without turning and I laughed out loud.
After about 30 minuets of silence Lucy wined from behind us.
"Unbelievable! Who in their right mind would turn down 2 million Jewels?" I looked over my shoulder to see her slouching in depression.
"If we had taken the money, it wouldn't have looked good." I said as I turned back to see where I was going.
"Yeah, you gotta think about Fairy Tail's reputation." Natsu says and Happy agreed with an 'Aye'.
"But we made them happy, right? We got the job done, and we're walking home?" She moans.
"And then to find out that they aren't even wealthy? They were just renting that house so that everyone would think that they were rich... It's not like it matters, we would have taken the job either way." She says while I looked down the cliff of the large hill we were walking up.
"I don't know about you." I heard Happy say to her.
"Of course I would have!" She retorts back.
"Sure greedy." I sighed as the two of the started arguing. I felt a slight nudge on my shoulder and I turned to Natsu.
"You think we should stop and get some rest and continue on tomorrow?" We stopped and looked back at the two still arguing teammates, whom had stopped several yards behind us to argue more.
I sighed heavily. "Yeah that may be best. Especially for those two." I jabbed my thumb toward Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dumb.
Having enough of them being so loud I sent a bolt of lightning at them, only aiming at the ground next to their feet. They hugged each other in fright like they weren't just fighting.
"Will you two get your asses over here and stop fighting!" I scolded them.
"But he started it!"
"Na-ah she did."
"Noo, it was this flea ba-"
"ENOUGH!" I struck the ground again with more power and cracked the ground.
"WE'ER SORRY KYRA!" the two of them screamed at the same time while hugging each other even tighter. I glared hard at them until they scrambled to catch up to us.
"Alright we're gonna make camp for the night." Natsu says before taking off the giant pack he was carrying, while ignoring Happy whispering to Natsu that i'm as scary as Erza, maybe even more.
I actually can't wait to meet her tomorrow. But i'm debating on whether or not I want to join them.
On one hand I want to help them get Lullaby, but on the other hand I need some space away from everyone. To be alone so if I breakdown no body will know. I don't want anyone to know how depressed I am. How much being here affects me.
Don't get me wrong I love Fairy Tail and everyone in it, I had always wanted to come here.
But, I wanted there to be a way for me to go back and forth between my world and this one, so I could still be with all those that I grew up with.
I paused in picking up a log for the fire.
But now I here with no way back home. My family. All my friends that I grew up with. I can never see them again.
I closed my eyes tight to keep the tears from slipping through.
No, I can't cry with them here.
"You alright?" I jumped when I heard Natsu's voice from behind me.
Nodding I quickly grabbed the log. "I'm fine."
I walked passed him but stopped when I felt his hand on my shoulder.
"You know, If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you." He says quietly.
I was silent for a couple seconds before replying without looking at him.
"Thank you." And with that I walked back to the clearing and put the logs I had gathered next to the already lit fire.
Soon enough we had some food cooking by the fire as we sat on some larger logs, but there were only three fish (there were four but one ended up falling into the fire and burning to a crisp before Natsu could reach in and save it) and there were four of us.
I was going to just say they could have them and that I wasn't hungry, to which of course was a lie cuz I was freaking starving.
"Here, have some of mine." My gaze snapped to Natsu as he tore his fish in half before handing it out to me. I was about to decline when Natsu spoke again.
"And don't try and decline it, I already know your hungry, I heard your stomach a bit ago."
My face turned a little red in embarrassment before moving to sit by Natsu and grabbed the half of the fish, which was the back end.
Kinda glad, I don't want to be staring into it's face as i'm eating it.
"Thank you." I said quietly before biting into it, which was surprisingly good.
"Mmmuh." Natsu hummed back. Everything was quiet before Lucy spoke up.
"By the way, the house? How did you know it really wasn't theirs?"
Natsu glanced up at her. "Huh? Oh cuz it smelled like some other house. It seemed pretty obvious."
"Aye." Happy agrees with a mouth full of fish.
I chuckled. "Well to ya'll maybe. You both have heightened senses of smell, where as we do not. Well mine is a lot better than it has ever been my entire life. But still not as good as ya's, especially Natsu's." I said as they both grin at me.
"Well, I was still lost in the clouds from reading that book." Lucy smiled remembering the stuff she had read.
"I got you figured out." Natsu says grinning at her.
"Huh?" She question confused as he took another bite from his fish.
"All those papers I found on the desk at your place." Lucy looked alarmed now.
"Your writing a novel aren't you?"
"Ohh so that's why she's such a bookworm." Happy states while Lucy blushes an bright red in embarrassment.
"Please promise you won't tell anybody about that, ok?"
"Why not?" Happy asks.
"Because i'm a horrible writer! If anyone read them I would die from embarrassment!" She cried out burying her face in her hands while shaking her head.
Natsu sweatdrops while I just watch them. "Don't worry, nobody's going to read it."
I nearly choked when he said that.
"Yeah, that doesn't really make me feel any better." Lucy deadpans.
I decided to jump in. "Actually Lucy, back home I did quite a bit of writing myself."
All three of them looked at me as I sat the bones of my finished fish on the ground.
"I didn't know that, that's cool." Natsu said.
"Yeah, I didn't write any books, but I have written quite a bit of short stories as well as Fanfictions. Which are stories about certain Movies, TV shows, video games, even other books." I explained.
"Whoa really, so what have you written about?" Lucy asked me in wonder and I smiled thinking back to all those I've written about.
"Well I have written one for a movie, one for a video game, and seven for different tv shows." They looked at me in disbelieve.
"Whoa! Really? What were they all?" Happy asked me and I laughed.
"Maybe another time, non of ya would even know what the titles or the story line is about."
"But can you still tell us the titles anyways, i'm really curious on what they are." Natsu asks as he gave me puppy dog eyes, as did Happy.
I smirked at them. "Alright alright. the movie is called Wreck-It Ralph, the video game is a horror game called Five Nights At Freddy's, and the seven TV shows are called- The Walking Dead, Once Upon A Time, Soul Eater, Blue Exorcist, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Transformers: Prime, and the last once actually is this world. And that one is called, of course, Fairy Tail."
They gasped in awe.
"Wait really? That's awesome!" Lucy exclaims and the two boys nodded in agreement.
"Thanks guys." I looked down at my watch that I had since Laxus and I were training. 11:45pm.
"It's 11:45, I think we should get some rest now." I said and the others nodded as they got up and grabbed their sleeping bags, mentally cursing when there's only two human sized ones and a much smaller one for Happy.
Natsu seemed to notice the shortage as well before turning to me but before he could ask anything I held my hand out.
"No, i'm good, I don't one." I told him and he looked at me unconvinced but stayed silent and slid in his sleeping bag, as did the other two.
I looked up into the sky the air was pretty cool for being the beginning of July but the fire was still going pretty strong so I didn't worry that much about it.
Smiling I hugged my knees to my chest and rested my head on top.
"Good night Natsu, Lucy, and Happy."
"Good night Kyra/Ky." they replied at the same time. And with that I closed my eyes and let the warmth of the fire lure my to sleep.
WHY THE FUCK DID I NOT TAKE UP HIS OFFER FOR THE DAMN SLEEPING BAG!
I mentally screamed when I suddenly woke up to no fire and cold air. I looked at the time.
2:33 A.M. Damn it!
I looked to see the others asleep and warm.
I wrapped my arms tightly around myself as I slowly stood up as to not wake anyone. A bit curious that Natsu isn't snoring up a storm like he usually does.
Shrugging I quietly tip toed away from the others. Maybe walking for a bit will warm me back up.
I froze in mid-step when I heard a slight rustling noise from the campsite behind me. I slowly turned to look back at my sleeping teammates, and it seemed like Natsu had just rolled over in his sleep, facing me.
My breath got caught in my throat when I though I saw Natsu Looking at me, but looking again and closer I saw that his eyes were actually closed.
Finally releasing the breath I was holding I turned back around and continued sneaking away.
About 15 minuets of walking I stopped by the edge of the cliff and sat with my legs hanging off, looking out into the land and bright clear sky. I still had my arms around me but I wasn't really cold anymore.
I closed my eyes and breathed in the cool air, I somehow can still smell a bit of the campfire from here.
"I wish ya'll were here with me."
Opening my eyes and looking up at the moon smiling sadly, not realizing the campfire smell wasn't actually from the campfire.
"Ya would have enjoyed this a lot, To go on a ton of adventures and fight plenty of enemies. To be a part of this team and wrecking havoc." I laughed dryly. "So I don't have to feel so alone." I whispered sadly to myself.
I nearly jumped and fell over the edge when I felt something warm around my shoulders but a strong pair of arms held me back from falling.
At first I thought I was being grabbed be thugs and was about to yell out when I noticed that the smell of campfire was stronger now. Moving my head to the side I first took notice of the mess of pink hair, before noticing his concerned expression, and then blushing when noticing that he was shirtless.
I don't know why I would be blushing, cuz I've seen him shirtless throughout the series, but I quickly noticed that the thing he must have put around my shoulders was his vest.
"You should have taken up my offer to use my sleeping bag. The cold doesn't affect me at all." Natsu says sitting down next to me as I wrapped as much of the vest around me as possible.
He put his arm around me and gently pulled me against him. His body heat quickly warming me up.
I laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes, grateful for the warmth as sleep washed over me.
The last thing I heard was Natsu whispering that I will never have to be alone anymore before I fell into a much needed sleep...
Only to wake up five hours later to Lucy yelling "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SHIRTLESS!?" Never a dull moment here.
There we go, finished finally.
Kyra seems to be getting along with both Laxus AND Team Natsu. Next chapter we should have Kyra meeting the rest of the Thunder Legion as well as the mighty Erza.
Until next time, Shadowstalker, Out.
