Back At Fairy Tail
"Well, it's a good thing Erik said all of the guys had to leave," Kinana says with a blush adorning her face.
Levy, who is faring a little better than her says, "At this rate, they won't be able to watch any of it. It's only going to be them..."
"No, something is going to happen. Something always does," Erza states.
It had been taking a while for Fairy Tail to get through the disc because of jobs that needed to be done. Certain members had been specifically requested so they would either have to wait for said guild member to return or continue without them.
Thursday, July 11, 2024
How had her friends from Fairy Tail coped with the fact they'd killed someone? Yes, they've killed others as well… in battle. Lucy wasn't in a battle though. Considering Erza's history, she has a feeling the red-headed warrior would have done the same had she seen the scenario. Possibly everyone else now that she thinks about it. It doesn't make her feel any better. But what's done is done. There's no turning back now. It's just a matter of learning to control that rage and not let it consume her again and move forward.
Why would they judge her and not welcome her back into the guild because she killed a bunch of monsters when they've welcomed former criminals who have killed innocents in the past to be a part of their Fairy Tail family? Mira had never wanted to hug someone and comfort them as much as she did then. She wanted to squeeze Lucy tightly and reassure her that they didn't look at her differently. She was right in thinking that many of them would have reacted the same way.
Speaking of moving forward, she and Chisaki got a little closer after the ordeal. He's not as apprehensive about holding her hand and giving her a hug now and then. However, for him, she had a close brush with death. As far as he knows there were three unknown people there that could have easily killed Lucy had she not been quick enough to escape.
She hated lying to him, she wanted to tell him the truth that it was her that was responsible for all that carnage. That she has the ability to transform into her friends and use their abilities. She's caught his thoughts on quirks, but would he hear her out if she told him? Go ahead and call her selfish but she doesn't want to lose Chisaki before they've even begun.
They will admit that they are worried about what will happen when Chisaki, Kai, Overhaul, whatever you want to call the guy finds out the truth about Lucy. The truth is bound to be revealed sooner or later and all they can do is sit back and hope for the best.
Oh, how they wished they could go to Earth and tell the authorities that it's bullshit Lucy is now labeled a villain when one of their "heroes" were a part of everything that transpired back in June.
Two years had gone by before it was discovered that Lisanna was in Edolas. However, the only reason why that discovery was made was because of the anima that sucked Fairy Tail into that world.
Lucy wanted to think that after two years Fairy Tail would have stumbled upon her by now but at this point, her best option was to keep an eye and ear out for Ivan and the black-haired man that transported her here. She found a way to find him on a website by his quirk alone, which she assumed would be the ability to jump between worlds. However, one had to pay to access said information.
They wished there was at least a way to get word to Lucy that there was no time difference, and that it had been two years for them as well. Though going by the dates on the discs, they're a few months behind on what has happened with Lucy. They wished they could apologize to her and take back the mean nasty things that were said even though it wasn't really them but a spell making them say mean and nasty things to and about her. They wished they could tell her that it's okay to make a life for herself there when they've been doing the same thing at home. They don't want her alone and miserable while the majority of them live their lives. They wished that they could tell her that for whatever reason the guy who took her away from them had been recording her new life and sending them videos of it. It's creepy and a violation of her, and everyone else's, privacy but due to that they're able to keep an eye on her and also look out for any clues.
All of them, especially Freed and Levy were very interested in what is called the internet and how Lucy used it to find the man they have all been looking for however she didn't want to risk someone's hacking the device she was using. Whoever found out would want to know why she was looking for said individual. After seeing this, Warren decided he wanted to have a meeting with Hibiki and see if they could create something similar.
Her spirits suggested to put Fairy Tail behind her for now. They're not saying to give up searching for the man responsible or forget about her guildmates but for the time being, she should consider this as another adventure. She's made some friends, gained parental figures and has a man in her life that considers her his girlfriend even though he never has officially asked. They're still unsure about him but that could possibly be because he has never been with a woman up until he met Lucy. She very well may be the only one he'll ever have in his life. He has shown that he genuinely cares and would do anything for her as well as be loyal and protective. That's really all they can ask for.
Fairy Tail isn't going to give up either; however, at this point, they are doing as Lucy has been doing and moving on. It broke their hearts, but there wasn't much they could do, even with help from other guilds. They hadn't found any sort of spell or a person with the ability to travel to Earth. They have kept an eye and ear out for any information and have waited for any news that Yukino may bring them from the Celestial Spirit King. Despite not knowing who resides in the celestial realm in the other galaxy, Lucy and her celestial friends are, it's not going to stop him, the Celestial Spirit King, from continuing to attempt to open up doors to other realms until he reaches what he now knows is called Earth. Something like this has never occurred and it has been taking him a while.
"Can you blame me for being scared? I'm a 26-year-old who has never had any form of intimacy. Also, how can you be so sure she's a virgin?"
"I'm not 100% sure, but going by your body's reaction to her, I'd say it's a safe bet she is. Hence, the research. I've been curious to know if my theory is right. My bet is she is and there's nothing to worry about. It's all new to her as well."
Of course, Levy and Freed became very interested in Kurono's research, and in their free time did their own. They still had yet to find anything. It wasn't a shock to them to find out that Chisaki was still a virgin.
It warmed their hearts when he said that Lucy has no reason to be scared of him, that no matter what happens he doesn't think he has it in him to hurt her. That gives them a bit of hope that when he finds out and learns the truth, he won't be too upset with her.
"And you grew close with Pops too. It's never bothered you that he's the boss of the Shie Hassaikai?" Chisaki isn't one to snoop but he must admit he can't help but read what's caught his interest. 'The Adventures of Iris: A Journey to Another World.'
When Chisaki had gone to Lucy's, the night he had asked her to go to the festival, they, more specifically Levy, did not miss the fact that Lucy has been writing a new novel and even if she can't be there to help by proofreading it and editing mistakes, Levy hopes that one day she'll at least be able to read it. She wants to read how her friend wrote her new adventure into a novel.
Cana makes a crude comment about Chisaki making himself more comfortable in Lucy's home. They thought that things were going to get a little more intimate than they did.
Fairy Tail is also surprised by the bit of information about the festival, more specifically the original meaning of Tenjin the sky deity, which is almost the same as Raijinshuu, the God of Thunder.
The gift he gives her for her birthday is a beautiful necklace that looks like a flower but it's really the Shie Hassaikai symbol.
"That's about right. There's more to it. Have you ever been?"
"The Tanaka's always close down so everyone can go, I never did so this will be a first for me. Is there a dress code?"
"I've never attended either. A yukata is commonly worn to the event." He's ready to go but, "You never did answer my question."
Lucy smiles at him, "I'd love to go."
"Great. Oh, I almost forgot I have something for you."
He pulls out a long box and Lucy has a suspicion about what it could be. He opens it up to reveal a silver chain necklace. The pendant on it is the Shie Hassaikai symbol. However, instead of being outlined in white and filled with black, it's silver and the outer layer is filled with blue. The inner layer is yellow outlined in silver making the pendant look like a flower. The center is the kanji for Shie Hassaikai.
Chisaki takes it out of the box and steps behind Lucy so he can put it on. "Happy Birthday Lucy."
Lucy holds her hair to the side and a shiver runs up her spine when his fingers brush along her skin.

"I knew you were hiding something, but nothing like this." Fukuzawa chuckles nervously. What does she say to this? She just found out that her friend is from another world that has magic. It seems impossible but yet, she finds herself thinking that it could be quite possible. What reason does Lucy have to lie anyway? And why didn't she tell her? Did she not trust her? No one knows what quirks everyone has on this planet so it could be safe to assume there's someone who can travel between worlds. Then it hits her, if the wrong person finds out about her situation and what she can do, who knows what would happen to her.
Fukuzawa gets a good look at her crying friend. It had to have been so hard for her. Being torn away from her family, the last thing she heard was cruel words spewed at her even though it wasn't them but a spell. Arriving in a new world clueless about everything, not knowing anyone. She'll ask another day how she met The Boss and Ms. Yamamoto. Something else sticks out from her story. She was saved from sex traffickers. She has spent her time in this new world saving others from the same fate and other kinds of horrors.
She bows her head to Lucy, "Thank you for trusting me with your secret."
"You're not mad I kept it from you?"
"No, that's the kind of secret you don't want the wrong person finding out about and I promise I won't tell anyone."
Fukuzawa took Lucy's secret much better than they thought she would. They were nervous right along with Lucy when she decided to tell Fukuzawa everything, absolutely everything, about her life before coming to Earth. They would say they're surprised Lucy was able to get by the past two years without many friends, but considering her past before joining Fairy Tail, it doesn't come as a surprise. It makes them so happy that Lucy has a friend in Fukuzawa.
Lucy smiles. When she opens it, she pulls out a beautiful yukata.
"Oh wow, who's that from?"
"Chisaki. We're going to the Tenjin Matsuri festival together. He didn't have to do this though; I could have picked something out."
"Girl quit complaining." Fukuzawa takes it from Lucy. "Who knew someone from a yakuza could have such good taste."
"It is beautiful." It's a light material, the right sleeve is white, and the rest is dark blue. Blue, silver, and gold flowers decorate it. The obi belt is white, and a blue ribbon will rest on her backside. There's even seta, Japanese sandals with straps, and hair ornaments inside the box.
"So, tell me more about Chisaki."
"That is so beautiful!"
"Lucky girl!"
Thursday, July 25, 2024
When Chisaki picks her up she is still amazed by the sight of him in a yukata instead of a suit. It's a simple navy blue with a darker Obi belt Yukata but he looks outstanding. She'll admit it's weird seeing him in the traditional footwear, geta (wooden sandals) with socks. She assumes the socks are to protect his feet from dirt. He doesn't look as uncomfortable as he did the day before. She wonders how often he goes without wearing a suit. There's been times he's gone without the coat and damn he needs to do that more.
"You ready to go?"
"Yup." Lucy grabs her bag and follows him out the door and locks it up.
Natsu didn't want to stick around for that, so he got up and left the guild with Lisanna, not too far behind. They have noticed that Natsu and Lisanna have spent more time together in the past few weeks. Only a handful of people know that over two years ago, Bickslow and Lisanna were getting close, so close they thought a new relationship was going to be announced.
After what happened to Lucy, Bickslow and Lisanna focused more on helping find her. It was when the discs started coming in that they slowly drifted because Lisanna wanted to be by Natsu's side. She didn't know her old feelings would crop up, but they did. She's been confused and told Bickslow that she needs to figure it out. Bickslow being the cool laid-back guy he is, told her he completely understood and if she were to choose him, he wanted her to be completely sure.
Natsu had said that all he wanted was for Lucy to be happy but as they watched him watch these videos, it had been making him anything but. Whether or not there are romantic feelings involved, he's missed his partner in crime, his best friend, someone who had been by his side through a lot. And now, he's watched, one could say, another man take his place. In this case, though, it's a type of closeness he had never experienced with Lucy. Is it something he wishes he had? He doesn't know. He does know it hurts him to watch Lucy and Chibiki kiss and eventually go further than that. The fact that Lisanna had been by his side confused him. He thought she wanted to be with Bickslow and she had been spending more time with him.
Chisaki doesn't miss the glances men in the vicinity give Lucy whether it be due to her beauty or that she's a foreigner. Possibly both. He moves so he can hold Lucy from behind. A finger slips underneath her yukata at the collar and runs along her skin, not missing the involuntary shiver from him touching her skin until it finds the chain to her necklace. He hooks his finger around it and gently pulls it out to rest on her yukata instead of hiding underneath. He wants everyone to see just who she belongs to. Pleased when their eyes turn away, he wraps her arms around her resting his hands on her stomach and his chin on top of her head. He smiles when she rests her hands on top of his. He wonders if she knows that PDA such as this is inappropriate. If she did, she would have pulled away by now. Does Chisaki care about being inconsiderate to those around him? Hell no, because he has a message to get across.
They're not surprised by Chisaki's possessiveness that he showed when he nonchalantly pulled the necklace, he gave her out from underneath her Yukata. He does seem like a good guy, despite his anger issues, which he has been attempting to manage. With Lucy's influence, Chisaki has a lot of potential to be an even greater man. Fairy Tail watched Lucy and Chisaki experience their first kiss, not only with each other but in general.
If by the time they or Lucy have found a way back to each other and she had made a life for herself on Earth and would much rather stay there, they would completely understand. They'll be heartbroken but they would get it. At least they would have the opportunity to apologize for everything. Who knows, maybe they could find a way to travel between worlds so they can still see and visit each other.
As much as they hated to say it, if you took into consideration the contents of the video, they were glad Natsu had been getting requests a lot. Anyone with a brain knew that things were going to escalate between Lucy and Chisaki so the women had watched through it first and made notes of where the guys could watch.
Tuesday, August 6, 2024
Chisaki looks up to greet the man until he sees the mask he's wearing, It's reminiscent of a deer skull, without antlers. "What the hell kind of mask is that?" He looks over at Kurono, "Why is it that only you and Hojo have a normal mask?"
Sakaki plops down on the couch next to Chisaki and spreads his arms along the back, resting one leg on his thigh, "I was told I could pick out my mask, I gotta admit though it makes it difficult for me to use my quirk. This is a nice place."
Chisaki glares at him, "Get the fuck up now."
Sakaki raises his arms in surrender getting off the couch, "Chill man."
"I told you that a mask that covers your mouth and nose is required when you become a member of the Eight Bullets. And you are also to show me respect and call me Overhaul, not man."
"Okay, okay. Chill Overhaul."
"We might be able to modify it for you. What's your quirk?"
Present Mic's Voice: Deidoro Sakaki quirk: Sloshed. It allows him to subject nearby people to severe dizziness and inhibit their ability their sense of balance, putting them in a state similar to being drunk.
"I wish my old friend Cana were here, I'd love to see how she would fair against you. She was quite the drinker."
"Sounds like my kind of lady. How about you? Can you hold your liquor?"
Fairy Tail talked about Cana faring against Sakaki's quirk. They also compared the men Chisaki had recruited to Fairy Tail, for example, the members of the Shie Hassaikai being an upbeat and rowdy bunch but not quite as much as Fairy Tail though.
Lucy's new wardrobe isn't the Lucy they knew but they feel it suits her. Lucy's style is a mixture of sexy and casual. She looks really good and if she were to need to fight, she could comfortably.
Now that Lucy has mentioned it Chisaki's quirk is pretty similar to Gildart's Crash magic. Even Gildarts himself did not put that together until it was mentioned.
Lucy's heart is racing a mile a minute from the unexpected occurrence along with realizing the position they're in. She can feel her cheeks heat up and wonders how long it's going to take Kai to realize that her dress had risen when he pushed her down which made it easier for her legs to spread and he is now lying in between them. "Mhmm. I'm fine."
"And that's our cue. Let's go guys."
His bare hand caresses her neck, feeling skin for the first time that didn't involve killing someone. When she gasps from his touch, he slips his tongue into her wet cavern hesitantly, meeting up with hers. They massage their tongues together and he can't bring himself to care that their saliva is mixing. The germaphobe side says that it helps he can smell and taste her fresh breath from her toothpaste and mouthwash. The side that has been craving this woman and slowly falling for her says fuck it.
Her fingers rake through his hair and she gently pushes his head down to take the kiss deeper. His bare hand travels down to her thigh, avoiding sensitive areas. When he makes contact with her skin and rubs his hand up and down her leg, they both moan into each other's mouths from the skin-on-skin contact. This heightens his need for her and he's not going to stop until she says so.
"Oh wow!"
They too couldn't help but laugh over the old man's reaction. They laugh harder with Kurono over Lucy and Chisaki's embarrassment over the position they were caught in.
They were surprised about Lucy mentioning the Infinity Clock and felt that despite how cliche, her making up the story of the people who kidnapped her needed a virgin to sacrifice was a good one, especially having to think of something on the fly.
They were worried that Chisaki might put everything together before Lucy had a chance to tell him everything. He more than likely won't be able to guess she's from another galaxy, another planet but he will figure out that she's lying to him or neglecting to tell him a big part of her to him.
Saturday, August 17, 2024
The Boss and Chisaki are waiting at one of the restaurants that the Shie Hassaikai protect, waiting for others from ally clans for a meeting.
The restaurant closes for occasions like this to ensure not only privacy but also to deter others from resorting to violence. The last thing any of them need or want is for the heroes and the local authorities to show up. They all greet each other and take the time to catch up.
"How is your cute daughter doing Sakuragi?"
"She's doing fine." Kazuhiko Sakuragi the boss of the Sakuragi Clan replies annoyed.
"Do you have any pictures of the little lady?"
"No."
"I still find it hard to believe that Kirishima Tooru, the infamous demon, the first lieutenant of the Sakuragi clan is now her caretaker." The majority of the men laugh about it.
It was interesting seeing members of other yakuza during that meeting, and Cobra had informed them that in Wakabayashi's soul, there was something about finding an all for one. All for one could help him take care of this problem but he needed to give the AFO something in return for his help. They gather that AFO had to be a person, most likely a foe.
That Tooru Kirishima fellow was pretty interesting. Who would have thought a scary man like him would take up a job as a babysitter? But, hey, look at Fairy Tail, they are pretty scary individuals who don't find it beneath them to take care of children. Hell, they have their own. Of course, Elfman said it's manly to babysit kids.
They learned that Wakabayashi knows that AFO has a doctor in his pocket who can rearrange the molecular structure of a quirk and give it to somebody. Cobra heard in Wakabayashi's soul attempting to find a way to outsmart AFO by giving him quirks that would help him become the next ruler of darkness.
They are very interested in this Tatsu fellow, and they wondered if they would be able to meet the guy. They would very much like to meet the guy who after so violently and brutally taking down what was 10 other yakuza became a house husband; they also ask themselves what the hell is a house husband?was
They saw the happiness on Lucy's face about being able to not only summon her spirits but to have a friend who could meet them. She is excited to have someone to confide in, someone closer to her age not that she doesn't enjoy Jiji's or Ms. Yamamoto's company.
They were excited every time Lucy could summon the spirit because it made her so happy and also for them her spirits are their friends as well so it's nice to see them.
Tuesday, September 3, 2024
"Don't worry about it, we'll be fine. Why did Ivan have that man send you here? Do you think he has some diabolical plan?"
"The last time I saw Ivan he wanted to get his hands on the Lumen Histoire but that ended up being used and no longer exists. My guess as to why he sent me here is because he just wanted to be an asshole and take one of the members somewhere hard to find. As far as the masked man goes, I don't have a clue as to what his connection with Ivan is and why he would be a part of it. Fairy Tail has made many enemies throughout the years. Hell, it could be someone we don't know who has a vendetta against us. That still begs the question ofwhy he is associated with Ivan in the first place."
"Maybe Ivan was thinking of ways to hurt Fairy Tail and he came across the masked man by chance and heard he wanted to hurt the guild too?"
"Maybe."
"Have you tried using the soul-hearing magic?" Fukuzawa was surprised about that ability. It explained how she was able to find those in trouble. Lucy would make a great hero if it weren't so dangerous for her.
"Yeah. I had thought I found him once but when I went in the direction I heard him, he wasn't there."
Gajeel informed them that he heard a rumor that Ivan was seeking out anyone who had it in for Fairy Tail, but he didn't want just anyone to help him. Ivan knew how Fairy Tail is and knew they would have to act swiftly and get the hell out of there before they could do much. He heard that Lucy was the light of the guild and if he took away their light, he would leave them in darkness. He underestimated Fairy Tail though. Yes, their light is gone, however, Lucy would not want them to stay in the darkness.
They had to be missing something though. They just couldn't seem to figure it out and like Lucy, they'd be keeping an eye or in Cobra's case an ear out for Ivan and the unknown man. They agreed with Lucy when they said that Ivan is just being a grade A fucking asshole. The unknown man had to have heard about Ivan's strong dislike for Fairy Tail and decided to work with him to screw Fairy Tail over.
It's no secret what Fairy Tail could be like when you fuck with one of their nakama unfortunately though this wasn't a situation they could just charge into. This is more for the ones that are less brutish to figure out.
The time they do get together they spend at the compound, but they don't get much privacy. His men are always around. He's glad they're all getting along but it would be great if they would just leave them be. Sakaki though has been pushing his luck not just with hitting on her but almost letting it slip what they've been up to as of late. He knows she wishes he would talk to her about it, but he doesn't want her involved if he can help it.
A few men snickered at him for planning something so cheesy. The new recruit, Hekiji scolded them for it. Even though he isn't fond of violence, he doesn't stop Rappa (whom he's not very fond of either) from punching the men who dare be disrespectful towards the man he is very loyal to. Rappa's belligerent behavior was getting worse, and Overhaul recruited the devout Buddhist to serve as Rappa's babysitter.
Present Mic's Voice: Hekiji Tengai quirk: Barrier. It allows him to materialize an extremely durable dome-shaped forcefield around himself. The strength of the force field has been compared to that of a steel wall.
Since their little mishap during their make-out session at the beginning of August, they haven't gotten much time together. If she's not at work or hanging out with Fukuzawa or making the occasional visit to Ms. Yamamoto and he doesn't have anything going on with the yakuza they make time for each other. If he had it his way they would be spending more time together but he doesn't want to be that guy that takes her time away from her friends and family. He wouldn't like it if she did that to him.
They like that Chisaki wasn't upset with her spending a lot of her time with her friends even though they can tell he would much rather spend all his time with her. During the date on the rooftop, more of their questions have been answered. They're left with more, but all in due time.
"Since I've met you, I've been questioning my beliefs."
"Which are?"
"When I was younger I read a book concerning an old theory; that a virus carried by rats caused the quirk phenomenon. While the theory lacks any hard evidence I believe quirks are a plague on humanity."
"I heard that theory too. I take it you've done your own research?"
"Yeah since I was a kid, and I couldn't find anything."
"If it's something you still want to look into I can help you if you want, research that more."
"Huh?"He wasn't expecting that. Most people call him crazy for thinking it's a plague.
She squeezes his hand, "Maybe it'll put you more at ease knowing whether or not it's the truth."
"Holy fuck."
Everyone's heads turned in Cobra's direction. Kinana was the one to ask, "What is it, Erik?"
"Just some of the shit I heard in his soul about what he went through as a kid. No, I am not elaborating on that. But us guys need to leave."
Mira pauses it and waits for them to leave.
Lucy laughs, "Yeah." She points up at the sky and as she draws imaginary lines with her finger she says, "That right there is Capricorn." She points in another direction and repeats the same movement, "There's Cygnus."
Kai watches where her finger points as she lists off more. "I don't see it," he admits as he turns on his side and rests his head in his hand.
She chuckles, "A lot of people don't." She looks up at him when he cups her neck and the look on his face makes her heart skip a beat. She cups his face and rubs the pad of her thumb along his cheekbone.
He closes his eyes and leans into her touch. Opening his eyes he kisses the palm of her hand, his fingertips trailing along her neck. He takes note of her reactions to his fingertips trailing down her side and to her belly. He slips his hand underneath her sweater and caresses the skin. Her lips are parted slightly and she's breathing heavily.
"K-Kai," she breathes out.
"I bet if Kurono didn't interrupt, they would have done the pants off dance off," Cana stated.
"Cana!"
"What?"
Friday, September 20th, 2024
Maki Modoshi, whom everyone knows as The Boss or Pops/Jiji, is taking a leisurely stroll through the compound, checking in and catching up with his men as well as giving them a silent reminder to not say anything about the new trafficking ring that cropped up around Lucy. They shouldn't be talking about it it, but they tend to act like high school girls when there's new gossip. As long as they don't say anything out in public and be aware of their surroundings in the compound then he leaves it be.
"Cobra, what's going on in that man's head?" They listened as Cobra informed them of what he was thinking about.
"Maki Modoshi is his real name. That will make it so much easier when we refer to him."
Fairy Tail found the domestic scene to be unexpected and sweet. They looked like one big dysfunctional family. They caught parts of the anime Tokyo Ghoul and some of the women cringed at what they saw.
Monday, September 30, 2024
Lucy is beyond bored. Mondays are stupidly slow due to alack of business. She hasn't had many customers, which has left her with time to clean the place. Some areas she's cleaned twice to keep herself busy because that's how slow it is. Lucy is startled by the sound of her name being called out. She turns around and is met with her smiling boss heading her way.
The dragon slayers got nauseous at the fact that bullet trains go even faster than a steam engine. It doesn't seem like much, the 60-mile-per-hour difference, but it really is.
The train stops to drop off and pick up passengers. Despite having moved out of the way, she is still bumped into.
"Crap. Sorry, Miss."
Lucy smiles at the kid and assures him that it's okay. He's about the same height as her, 5'6, and has blond hair with a lightning bolt-shaped streak of black on the left side of his side fringe. She guesses his age to be 14 or 15. Instead of walking away, he stands there gaping at her.
"Is everything all right?"
"You're pretty."
Lucy laughs, "Thanks. So what's the hurry?"
"Oh! I'm meeting up with a couple of friends to prepare for the entrance exams to get into U.A."
"Oh? When is that?"
"February. Can't be too prepared thought right?"
"No, you can't."
"Entrance exams? U.A.?" Someone asked.
"My guess is it's a school."
"I agree with Levy on this one," Freed told all of them.
Erza spoke next, "Okay, so we've heard Master, Freed, Elfman, and now Jason. What a random group of voices she's heard of her friend. But, why not one of us?" Erza pointed at Team Natsu's former members.
"She did say save for one which means she has but we have yet to see that person."
They found the foxes to be cute as all hell. When Lucy returned home, they were surprised she didn't gussy herself up for Chisaki. However, they were surprised by the conversation they had. Not only did Chisaki call a lot of them, more specifically Natsu disrespectful, but Lucy said it was a toss-up between Erza and Levy as her bridesmaid. Erza gave Mira a smug smile and everyone had to separate the two women.
Chisaki pulling Lucy onto his lap is the guys's cue to leave.
"Well, it's a good thing Erik said all of the guys had to leave," Kinana says while blushing.
Levy is blushing, "At this rate, we won't be able to watch any of it. It's only going to be them…"
"No, something is going to happen. Something always does," Erza states.
"She was so close to telling him that time," Mira says.
Later that evening Mira and Freed are making dinner as Laxus keeps Rita entertained. Mira moves automatically as she gets lost in thought.
It's been interesting to see day-to-day life on Earth. They haven't just been paying close attention to Lucy; they've also been soaking in everything in the background. They've not only been gathering information but have been in awe of where she's at. There are cities like those they've never seen before.
The vast majority of buildings are tall and rectangular, with no curves or intricate designs like one of the larger buildings in their world. The vehicles don't require a SE-plug. The flying vehicles are nothing like Blue Pegasus's Christina.
Her mind veers to Lucy's and Chisaki's relationship and it's progressed sooner than she thought. With Chisaki's issues, she thought it would take longer.
"I agree with you Mira all things considered."
"Oh my, was I talking out loud?"
Laxus walks into the kitchen with Rita on his palms making her fly around and causing her to giggle, "Regardless, he's still a man and if I'm being honest, I'm surprised he's managed to control his urges and not push himself to have certain experiences men have already had by the time they're 17-18 years old. He's what? 25? 26? It's impressive really." Laxus flies Rita to her highchair and straps her in.
"You do know there's still some male guildmates who haven't experienced being intimate with anyone right?"
Laxus grunts in response and sets the table.
"Levy and I have been doing the same kind of research as Kurono. We haven't found anything ourselves, but we strongly believe he's on to something."
"Isn't it weird that Chisaki is capable of being intimate with Lucy even though he's always had issues with people getting too close to him?"
"Shrimp, I really do not want to get into this again," Gajeel responds as he lies Gale in his crib, Levy doing the same with Metalia. They kiss their kids on the head before shutting off the light, quietly walking out, and leaving the door slightly ajar.
"But, earlier they-"
"Levy," Gajeel cuts her off, "I really don't want to hear about Bunny Girl's sex life. Save that for when you're hanging out with the girls." Gajeel lifts her up and tosses her on his shoulder like a sack of potaoes, "While we're on the topic of sex, I got a vadragon to slay," he tosses Levy on the bed. He lets out a "Gihi" at her squeal.
The next morning, Erza, Jellal, Wendy, Carla, Gray and Juvia are at the table eating breakfast.
"I'm surprised another disc hasn't come in. I hope we get one soon."
"Me too," Gray agrees. "Say, does anyone know what's going on with Natsu and Lisanna?"
"Juvia doesn't know. Last she knew Lisanna wanted a relationship with Bickslow." Juvia gasps, "Do you think Natsu is now Bickslow's love rival?"
"It's possible," Erza answers, "however unless it causes a rift in the guild we should stay out of it and let them figure it out."
Jellal grasps her hand, "I agree with Erza. They're adults and can figure it out on their own."
Natsu is sitting by the river he fishes at with Happy by his side thinking about everything he's seen and heard as well as the stuff he didn't due to being kicked out of the guild. His mind is a mess. He's glad she hung up her cloak and is no longer Celeste. If she continued on that path, she would likely be killing more people. But he's upset at her for moving on. He hears someone approach him and sits down next to him.
"Are you okay?"
Natsu doesn't answer and the person next to him gives him time to answer. Finally, Natsu asks, "Why is Lucy moving on? You didn't when you were sent to Edolas."
"Everyone is different Natsu. Plus, her situation is different than what mine was. I was surrounded by your doppelgangers which made it more bearable even though everyone was opposites of themselves."
Natsu thinks about that and his mind drifts to Lucy now dating Chibiki. He's never given something like that much thought. He's always known he didn't want Lucy getting close to other men like that. He couldn't stand the incessant flirting with her from numerous guys. But now that he's seen her close to another man that isn't him, was that something he wanted with her? It's hard to figure out, especially now that he and Lisanna have become closer. Before she "died" something was happening between them, but he ignored it. When she came back everything was different. He had Lucy by his side as his partner. He and Lisanna remained friends and before everything that happened to Lucy, Lisanna and Bickslow were getting really close. Their relationship started resembling what he had with Lucy.
"Lisanna?"
"Yes Natsu?"
"Why are you spending so much time with me? I thought you liked Bickslow."
"I do... but... I... This is going to make me sound like a horrible person, but now that Lucy is elsewhere, I was curious if there was anything between us, and if there was, I was curious if we could make things work between us."
"I know I don't know much about this kind of stuff, but it's not fair you do this to Bickslow. He really likes you."
"I'm aware and I like him too. I asked him to give me time because now that I've been able to spend more time with you, old feelings have been cropping up and I want to be sure before I make a decision. It wouldn't be fair to Bickslow for me to get in a relationship with him if I still have lingering feelings for you that could disrupt my relationship with him."
"Lisanna, I can't guarantee anything. I mean I've been confused about my feelings for you and Lucy. Could you please give me time to sort my feelings out?"
Lisanna places a hand on his shoulder and squeezes it, "Of course."
After spending another hour fishing, Natsu and Happy decide to call it good. They, along with Lisanna head back to the guild. When they reach the town, Natsu catches a smell in the area and dashes away.
Happy and Lisanna watch as he darts away. If he's in that much of a hurry, it can only mean one thing: Another disc has arrived.
Natsu dashes to the post office. "Where is that bastard?"
The mailman jumps, "I'm-I'm sorry Natsu but he didn't show himself, just like last time."
Natsu growls as he yanks the package from the man and opens it up. "There's two this time." He holds one up to his nose, "This one smells older. Older than the first one." He runs out of the post office and rushes to the guild.
Lisanna and Happy make it to the post office when Natsu is running out of it.
Happy, noticing Lisanna out of breath picks her up, "Here, I'll carry you." He flies at max speed and barrels into the guildhall.
"That can't mean…" Mira trails off.
"It must take place before the first disc that was sent."
"He sent a video of what happened when he took her away from us?"
"Let's watch it now!"
When they finally see what she went through, before the first disc came in, is that what's going to hurt the most? Seeing what she had to go through alone? Is that why they've had to wait? Or is it watching her put Fairy Tail behind her, even though all they want is for her to be happy?
Next up is the Flashback. After that we'll get more and better reactions out of Fairy Tail.
