"Urgh…" a young girl stirred at the edge of Crocus. Shaking her was a yellow cat with a scarred ear and another cat, this one colored a pale pink and wore a little white dress.

"Wake up, please!" Exclaimed the yellow cat. The girl opened golden eyes that simply stared at the two cats emotionlessly. The pale pink cat yelped a bit, surprised, but calmed down as the girl sat up, rubbing her eye.

"..." The girl was silent, "Who're you two? You obviously can talk so you better answer."

"We don't have names." The yellow cat said.

"No names?" The girl questioned, Like me, then.

"That's a stupid thought, girlie. Your name is Skye." came a male voice in the girl's mind. Her eyes widened.

She wasn't Skye, though.

You're a Nobody.

Knowing this scared her. A Nobody? Then she wasn't 'Skye'. Not anymore, probably.

"Your name?" Asked the pale pink cat.

"...Yxeks." The girl said. The name came to her easily after coming to terms with her Somebody name.

"We don't have names." The yellow cat told her again.

"...I can give you names." Yxeks offered. The two cats looked at her in awe.

"Really?!" They asked.

"Yeah… Wait, are you two siblings?" Yxeks asked. Siblings… An image of a boy a few years her elder came to her mind.

"Dunno." The yellow cat said.

"Born together." The pale pink one added.

"...I'll name you Hunter." Yxeks said, pointing to the yellow cat. The yellow cat, Hunter, was obviously a male cat. She didn't know where the name came from, but she decided it was perfect for him.

"Emu." she then pointed to the pale pink female cat. Emu was just a word in a different language for 'cat', but it sounded nice.

Yxeks pulled her cloak further over her body just in time for Hunter and Emu to hug her tightly, thanking her for the names. With the cats hanging on, she stood.

Her legs seemed unused to being used, but, frowning, she began to walk. Hunter and Emu moved slightly so they were being carried.

It seemed that she had two companions, now. Mildly, she wondered what she'd do. Everything was unfamiliar.

She didn't know that, in only a few days, she'd find what she'd do. Or that she'd end up loving the people she worked with.

She didn't know that, in only a few days, she, Hunter, and Emu would meet Fairy Tail.


So yeah, Yxeks now has Exceeds.

I've decided to set this directly after the war against Oracion Seis and before Edolas.

Please review.
