*Yawn* it's already morning?
Damn it, I wanted to sleep more, oh well I'm already awake so nothing to do about it now, but I must say sleeping on the trees it's more comfortable that I thought, maybe instead of getting myself an house I could build myself an house in the trees!...nah too much work, for now I better go wash myself in that lake then I'll decide what to do.
*15 minutes later*
So, it seems that now I'm in debt thanks to that idiot, so that means that I can't train anymore because I have to take some mission to repay the guild...DAMN IT! It would be so easy if there was another copy of me that could do the missions in my place while I...wait maybe I can create another copy of myself. Let's try.
Creating new ability (Failed)
Why?
WHY ALL THE CLONES THAT I CREATE SEEMS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN BEATEN HALF TO DEATH?!
Ahh... damn it, it seems I have to practice more to create this ability, well now that that is finished let's go to the guild...and hope that I don't meet anyone weird during my walk.
XxXxXx
Well it seems I will not meet anyone- wait, is that a moving pink bush and a flying cat? Ah no it must be Natsu and Happy, it seems they returned from their mission, maybe I should go and say hi.
"Hey brat, Hey Happy" I greet them, and in the exact moment I say brat Natsu turns around and yells
"I'M NOT A BRAT! Uh? Hey it's you Dark, so how are you?" "Hey Dark"
"Huuu...bad and no, I don't want to talk about it, so how did your mission go?"
"Really great, we fought against monsters and saved the father of the boy" He said smiling
"Really that's great, I'm happy for the kid" I said relieved
"Yeah me too...hey Dark you wanna come with us at Lucy's home?"
"Hmm...ok after all I don't have nothing better to do" At my answer he grins and begins pulling me towards Lucy's house
*10 minutes later*
During our walk me and Natsu talked about many things, but if I must say he was the one to talk while I just listened, but despite this I had fun till we didn't reach Lucy's home
"What are you doing?" I asked exasperated
"I'm entering her house" "Aye"
"From the window?"
"Hey, we wanted to make her a surprise!" "Aye"
"Yeah sure...but from the window?"
"Just shut up and enter, before someone sees you"
"Ok ok, geez you are really weird kiddo"
And with that I "enter" Lucy's home and begin to explore, while I can't say that it's incredible like our guild I can say that it's nice
"Hey guys look at this, it seems like some kind of- Natsu? Happy?" I turn around and I find that they are not with me anymore
"What the hell? Where did they go? They were with me till ten seconds ago, geez now I have to find them"
With that I begin to look for them, until I don't hear the sound of water flowing
'Maybe they are here' I think and without hesitation I open the door
Unfortunately they were not there instead at their place there was a naked Lucy looking at me shocked
'Huh, if I remember right when a man enters in a bathroom when a girl is showering he is supposed to say'
"Thanks for the view" And with that I close the door
*Phew* Human interaction sure is difficult, but I think that I did okay
"KYYYYYAAAAAAAAHHHHHH"
'! That's Lucy's voice!' And after thinking that I immediately opened the door and asked
"Lucy what happened?!" But she instead of answering kept looking at me with a glare and pink cheeks while she covered herself with a towel, only after two second she answered
"YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
Huh? If she wanted to know that then why did she scream?
"Well I'm here with Natsu and Happy because we wanted to see your home"
"Wait, does that means that they are here?" Why she seems scared?
"Yes?"
"MY ROOM!" And here she goes, better to follow her.
After following Lucy and reaching her room we find the two idiots eating snacks and relaxing on the couch.
Oh well while Lucy does her thing, I'll search her room- Huh? What are those? They seems like pages of a book.
It seems I found something to do in the meanwhile.
*15 minutes later*
Mhh interesting story, sure ,some things must be changed but if this is the first time that this person wrote something then he/she has talent.
"NO"
"What?" Was my last word before a kick sent me flying...
"Whoa, what the hell did just kick me?"
"Me, and I will do it again if you touch this" Said the blonde girl
"Oh so you wrote that, I must say girl you have talent"
"This is very imp-wait, what did you just say?"
"I said that you have talen-whoa" I couldn't even finish the phrase that Lucy was already in front of me looking very happy
"You really mean that don't you?"
"Yeah, but there are some things that must be changed bec-" But she wasn't paying attention...damn, oh well let's talk with the other person in the room
"Hey Natsu can you-wah, why are you crying in the corner Natsu?"
"You guys are talking like I'm not even here *Sniff* You guys are the worst, I even found a mission that we can do together and the reward is 200,000 jewels"
..."WHAT?!" Was my answer
"Whoa why are you reacting like that Dark?" Instead of answering I grab Natsu's shoulder and I look him into the eyes
"...Natsu, I'm in" He looks a bit surprised to the fact, but then he grins and shake my hand
"Perfect and you Lucy? With you our group it's complete"
Group?
"Group?"
"Aye, in our guild the people that are especially in good terms can form a group, so if a job is too difficult for one person, in a group it's easier!"
"Hmm, let me think about it Natsu"
"Huh? Ohhh come ooon"
"Nope, sorry I want to think about it"
"Uff okay, and you Lucy?"
"Well let me see first the mission"
"Ok" Say Natsu
"It seems we just have to take a book from the mansion of some guy named Duke Everlue" Reads Lucy
"Good deal right?!" Yeah, but it seems a bit too much for just a book, maybe it's special?
"Yeah, well I accept-huh? Note: He's a dirty, perverted man currently seeking to hire a blonde-haired maid..."
Pftt...He just-he just tricked Lucy to become the maid of that guy HAHAHAHAHAH
"H-hey Lucy, can you pftt pass me the mission report, I want to see his face"
Still shell shocked she passed me the note
"Now let's see-oh my god...HAHAHAHAHAH I-I NEVER SAW SOMEONE MORE UGLY THAN THIS GUY HAHAHAHAHAH"
While I was dying from the laughter, Lucy was arguing with Natsu about being tricked...truly, this kid is gold.
XxXxXx
*3 hours later on a carriage*
"Are you enjoying the ride, Master" Asked Lucy
"You are the maid from hell..." Answered Natsu
"Geez you two are like kids"
"But he was the first to begin, Dark!"
Haaa this kids, after yesterday they are still arguing, thankfully they stopped for some minutes because Lucy had to create a contract with a celestial spirit...Plue...Pff HAHAHAHAHAH WHAT A NAME HAHAHAHAH
"Hey Dark, why are you smirking" Asked Lucy
"Oh nothing don't worry about it"
"Hmm...anyway this is going to be my first job, so I'm going all out!"
"Ehh it doesn't seems that hard to just say "Master" " I said
"You shut up Dark!"
"Eh you are saying that because you know that I'm right" I retorted with a shit-eating grin
"Grrr...Just so we are clear we are splitting the money 70-10-10-10"
"Ah so you brats are fine with 30%?"
" I am the 70%!
-------------------------------------------
*Shirotsume Town*
"Urghh I'm never riding a carriage again"
"Then you are free to come back with your own feet when we finish the mission brat, so we can spend less to pay that damn carriage, seriously 50 jewels at head plus 100 for the pet- "HEY" " That's a robbery, I could smell it!"
"Uhhh I need to eat food!" Said the pink brat
"Ok-ok we'll eat there just stop complaining!" I said
"YES/AYE"
"You guys go ahead, I have stuff to do"
"Okay we'll see you at the restaurant, come on Natsu, Happy let's go eat"
*20 minutes later*
"Let's save a greasy one for Lucy"
"Aye, she seems like she'd like greasy food"
"I'm more impressed to the fact that you guys decided to leave something" I said eating my portion of food
""Hey, you are eating as much as we are eating!"
"Since when do I like grease?!" I turn toward the voice and I find-wow
"Lucy what the hell are you wearing?" I asked
"Well if I have to be a maid then I need the clothes, so how do I look?"
"Hmm... you look great, really" And with that I returned to eat, missing the smile that I received as thanks from Lucy
"Hey what do we do Natsu, we can't tell that we were joking around" "J-just go with it"
"I can hear you, you idiots!"
Eheheh this is amusing
*10 minutes later (Meeting those who requested the job)*
"Hello my name is Kirby Melon and I am the client and this is my wife" Said Kirby Melon pointing to his right
"Melon!/ Sounds yummy!" These two are children...
"Hey that's rude, please excuse them" Said Lucy
"Hahahah don't worry I'm used to it...so let's talk about the job, I want you to destroy that book"
! Hmm ok then that means that the book is dangerous or there is something in it that this guy doesn't want to know
"What is this book anyway?" ...really Lucy you are asking that?
"Who cares we are getting 200.000 just for destroying a book" Thanks Natsu for your intervent
"Uhh...actually I'll pay you 2 million"
...What?
""WHAT?!"
"I thought you knew?"
"No we didn't but why the increase of the reward?" asked Lucy
"Because that book must be destroyed" Answered Melon
"OOOOH WHO CARES WE HAVE A JOB TO DO, COME ON LUCY DARK LET'S GO!"
"Wait Natsu-" I tried to say but it was too late.
-----------------------------------------
*A while later in front of the mansion of the Duke*
"I just need to charm the Duke, get the book and get the 2 million, piece of cake!" Said Lucy
Well let's hope for the best-? What's that sound?
*CRASH* From the ground a figure exits
Oh my god, is that a woman?
"Are you the applicant for the maid position?" Asked the gorilla
"Y-yes!" It seems Lucy is a bit scared
"Master! The applicant is here" Shouted the woman?
*CRASH* from another hole in the ground exited...pfftt...I can't...damn I'm crying...I have to resist
"Boyoyoyooon. Did you call me?" Asked the...pffttt...man
"Yes Master, this girl wants to be your maid"
"Hmm let's see"
Wow what a stare
"No, you are ugly go away, I can only be surrounded by beautiful girls"
Ouch I think I heard her pride break, that gotta hurt
------------------------------------------------------------
"*Sob* He called me ugly Dark! *Sob*"
"Don't worry about it" I said exasperated
"Man, you are pretty useless" Said Natsu
Natsu you idiot I'm trying to make her stop, I swear after this mission I'm gonna hit you with my new book
"That's not true, he's the one that has got a weird sense of beauty!"
"That's an excuse"
DAMN IT HAPPY!
"*SOB* *SOB DAAARKKK"
"NATSU HAPPY"
""?"" They both turn toward me
"DAAARK CHOP!" I hit them both with my book
---------------------------------------------------------
*5 minutes later waiting for Natsu and Happy to wake up*
"Ok we need a plan" Lucy said
"What about-" Tried to say Natsu
"That doesn't involve burning down the building" I interrupted
"Uff then do you have a plan Dark?"
"A plan? Even if I came up with one, I doubt the brat would follow it. You want to burn it down Natsu? Sure, do it, but make sure you keep their attention. Lucy, instead, can sneak in and find the book while they are busy fighting Natsu"
"Ohh a great plan Dark!" Said Natsu
Yes I know brat
"Yeah you are righ-wait a second and while we two risk our life what are you going to do?" Asked Lucy
"Who, me? Look I came up with the idea for how to complete the mission, my job is done."
"Why you-" Tried to say Lucy, but was interrupted by Natsu
"Ok Lucy let's go!" Eheh the brat has fire in his eyes
"Wait Natsu can't you see you are being triiiiickeeed..." And there they go
Now I can finally relax and maybe also sleep...
*THUMP* *THUMP*
Argh, what now? I was sleepin...
When I opened my eyes I found that big woman? that serve that Duke in front of me glaring
"...Oh look the man cosplaying as a maid, what can I do for you?" Oh, his/her eyebrow it's twitching
" *Grrr you are in the property of my master, if you don't exit now I'll have to escort you out personally"
"Hmm let's see...what about no?"
Instead of responding she began to punch me...
but missed every time, because of her body she's not able to hit fast, so every time she tried to punch me I responded in kind with a punch of my own.
Seeing that I am faster than her, she tried a different approach and that is...by jumping on me?!
but fortunately I reacted fast, so I jumped behind while the maid fell on the ground damaging herself.
"Ok girl or man or whatever you are, I'm not enjoying this anymore, so now I'll take this a bit more seriously"
" Let's finish this!"
"Double Crash!"
Shouting the name of my combo I went full speed on my enemy and when I was 5cm from her I used both of my hands to give her a punch on the stomach, at the beginning nothing happened, then the maid was launched several meters away from me destroying some trees and the gate of the duke's home.
"Damn, I hope she's alive...oh well let's return to sleep
--------------------------
*10 minutes later*
Zzzzz....
....zzz...
*KABOOM*
"WHAT! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!" I turn towards the mansion and I find that it is on flames...
"NATSU DAMN IT! I TOLD YOU TO BURN IT DOWN NOT TO MAKE IT EXPLODE!"
Damn, now I have to go and check if everyone it's okay...*Sigh* I was even having a good dream
...
..? Shouldn't the body of that maid be here? Then why there is nothing?...oh well I'll worry about it later for now let's enter the mansion
The moment I opened the door of the mansion I found many people unconscious...wait is that the maid from before and why is Natsu near her?
"It seems that the you had fun brat"
"Dark? Ah you came to help?" He asked smiling
"No you idiot I came so I could check if you guys were still alive"
"We're fine don't worry, we even found the book"
"Wait really? That was fast"
"I know right? Oh yeah Dark can you help me, this girl is starting to move again and I don't think that I can retain her"
"Uff ok"
But in the same moment we both touched her, she began to glow and then disappear and the same happened to us
"Brat...I hate you right now"
*Spirit world*
Huh? Where the hell are we?
"Hey Dark, look she's glowing again!"
"Oh no, not again!"
*Sewers*
"I swear if she begins to glow again-"
"Natsu! Dark!"
Huh? Isn't that Lucy? And is that a crab?...I don't care anymore
"Hey Lucy, so Natsu told me you found the book, so are you ready to go?"
"Yeah, but first, Natsu knock her down!"
"OK! Roar of the Fire Dragon!"
"WAIT! I AM STILL ON HE-"
*FWOOSH*
...Brat when this mission is finished you are dead
"Lucy-sama what do you think of this haircut?"
When I turn toward the crab? I find the Duke without hair smiling happily...pftt...
"Hahahah it's awesome, good job crab!"
---------------------------------------------------
*20 minutes later in front of mister Melon*
"Here is the book Mr. Melon" Said Lucy
"I told you to destroy it, didn't I? Said Mr. Melon
"Then Mr. Melon you can do it yourself"
"Yes...you are right then I-" But he stopped when the book began to glow
"It has begun" Said Lucy
"W-what is this?"
"It's a spell that Kemu Zaleon, no, that Zekua Melon, your father, used on this book!"
The title of the book began changing from Day Break to Dear Kaby
"Dear Kaby?" Questioned Mr. Melon
"Yes, this book it's just a letter for you from your father, and this is the reason why he stopped being a writer, not because he wrote the worst book ever, but because he wrote the most incredible one!"
"I-I-thank you father..."
Heh it's nice to see this kind of bond between father and son
"Guess we don't need that reward after all, then!" Said Natsu
...What...
"After all we didn't destroy the book"
...What...
"B-but I can't-"
"We don't want that reward"
"But I do!" Said Lucy
...What...
"Let's go home guys! And you too Melon, return to your real home"
---------------------------------
*Later*
...So it seems that that guy didn't have all that money...
...I'm sad...I thought that maybe the reward could help me with my debt, but now...
"Wow he seems pretty down" Said the brat
"Yeah, maybe he too wanted the reward or maybe he wanted to came back with the carriage and not on feet" Said Lucy
"Aye, poor guy"
...Shuut up it's your fault in the first place!
"*Yawn* I'm pretty tired guys, I think it's better to stop here and then restart to walk tomorrow" Suggested Natsu
"Ok-wait Dark, where are you going?" Asked Lucy
"...Home...I'm not tired...I can walk there"
"Are you sure?"
Geez this girl is too much worried "Yes don't worry, we'll see each other tomorrow at the guild" I said waving back
""Ok bye""
...
...uff now where do I go?...
----------------------------------------
*Two days later at Magnolia Town*
Oh it seems I reached the town, finally, now where do I need to go for the guild? Ah yes I need to go straig-
*THUMP*
"Oh sorry it seems I bumped on yo-"
When I looked to the person I bumped into I didn't expect to find an...horn? What the hell? No, wait a girl is carrying it? Man she must have serious strength to do something like that
"Ah, don't worry, I was the one not paying attention"
"Nah, no problem, let's pretend that nothing has happened, ok?"
"Agreed"
And with that I resumed the walk
...
is this girl following me?
""Hey stop following me/Stop following me"" We said at the same time
""Huh?""
We both turn towards each other
"Hey you are the one following me brat!"
"Brat? I'm not a brat and also you are the one following me"
Is this girl stupid?
"Listen here girl I'm trying to return to my guild, here, can you see the mark? Well the only way to reach the guild it's following this road, you are the one following me"
...now she's looking at me surprised
"You are a member of Fairy Tail? Then why I never heard of you?"
"I'm new, that's the reason, also who are you, from what you just said it seems you are pretty close with our guild"
"That's because I'm part of it, look can't you see the mark on my breastplate?"
*Awkward silence*
"...Let's just forget about this too"
"Yeah agreed"
And so the two of us began walking towards the guild
"...so what's your name? I asked
She looked at me sideways and then said " Erza...and you?"
"Dark"
This time she turned toward myself with curiosity in her eyes "Really? You have an...unique name"
"Yeah, you are not the first one to say that, so about that horn..."
"Oh this? It's from the monster that I killed, the locals decorated it then gave it to me as a souvenir, got a problem with it?" She asked
"No, but isn't it a bit too bulky?"
She looked surprised for a second then she said "No, I don't think so, also I couldn't refuse it, the locals gave it to me"
"Hmm...oh well it's not my problem if in the end you don't know where to put that thing"
"Don't worry about it, it's my problem"
"Geez brat calm down, there is no reason to be so cold" This time she didn't bother to mask her surprise
"I'm being cold? Then I apologize! You can hit me if you want!"
...What?...
"I didn't know that I was being so rude towards you, so please hit me"
Is this what they call a masochist...this is really weird...well better stop her, she's attracting too much attention
I gave her a flick on the forehead "There, I punished you, now can we go? I want to be back to the guild before someone begins to worry" And with that I resumed to walk
"W-wait!"
"?"
"You didn't hit me"
"Yes I did"
"No that can't be counted as a hit" Damn this girl is a bother...wait every girl that I met has been a bother...damn it
"Listen masochist can we get to the guild first and then we can talk?"
"O-ok"
"Good then let's go"
"No one ever called me masochist"
"? What did you say?"
"Nothing!"
"Uff weird girl"
After that we resumed our walk
----------------------------
*5 minutes later in the guild*
Wow I never heard the guild being so quiet before, is it thanks to Erza? Then I have to thank her
"Hey Erza, thank you for being here" I said bowing, truly, someone that makes the entire guild shut up has my respect
"W-what? What do you mean by that?" She asked, but I didn't respond because I was too busy searching for a place where to sleep...
Now where can I...ha ha, found it, well goodnight
*10 minutes later*
Zzz..? Someone is trying to wake me up, but who?
"Erza? What do you want, I was sleeping"
"Dark, I would like your assistance in a mission"
What? Again?
"You will come with me, Gray, Erza, Natsu and Lucy, do you accept?"
