Chapter 1: I'm So into You


Prologue

The story happened right after the comeback of the Fairy Tail mages who fought at the Edolas battle. It is also the time when they discovered that Earthland Lisanna Strauss was alive and was never dead. She was sucked by Anima, the portal between the Edolas Kingdom and the Earthland during the S-class mission they had with her siblings Mirajane and Elfman Strauss.


Bringing Back the Past

"What's up with this cat?" Lisanna Strauss exclaimed.

"Is it an Exceed?" she continued to say while eying the black cat that tightened her hand with the rope.

She was tightened up by Panther Lily, the exceed cat of Gajeel Redfox. It was raining that time and she was dripping wet. She tried to untightened the rope but she was still weak because it's been two years since the last time she'd used her magic and it seemed like having her magic back was new to her at all. Edolas was a place where no magic exist between their bodies but just in magical items. She gave up resisting but she kept on pestering Panther Lily and Gajeel that she was ally and a Fairy Tail member.

Natsu Dragneel caught a glimpse of the new cat of Gajeel and a woman. He realized that woman looked familiar to her.

"Lisanna?" Natsu Dragneel said. He can't believe what he was seeing.

"It can't be!" Gray Fullbuster exclaimed.

"Lisanna!" Natsu exclaimed.

Lisanna heared a familiar voice just said her name. To her astonishment it was Natsu. The real Natsu. The Natsu she'd known ever since they were little. Her childhood best friend.

"Natsu!" she exclaimed. She doesn't mind the rope that as on her hand, she doesn't mind if she was dripping wet. All she wanted to do right now was to hug Natsu. To be able to touch him again. She got up and immediately ran on to him and gave him a hug. They both knocked at the muddy grass.

"Natsu I really missed you. I missed the real Natsu!" she said so excitingly.

Natsu who was still confused on what's happening just stared at her and left him speechless. He can't believe that Lisanna was alive. She was supposed to be dead. And now his childhood friend was right here in front of him.

"So you're the real Lisanna?" Natsu asked her.

"Of course! I am." she replied. She finally released him in the embrace. She saw Happy right next to Gray. Her eyes widened.

"Happy!" she exclaimed.

She went on near him and held him in her arms.

"I also missed you Happy! You're all grown up now. It's only been two years since I haven't seen you and you already became this big already!"

"Wait. You're supposed to have died two years ago. How come? How did you ended up there at Edolas?" Erza Scarlet asked Lisanna.

"I lost consciousness. When I thought I was dying, my flesh started to vanished. I knew I was dying. Miracle happened when I opened my eyes, I saw Fairy Tail Guild." She replied.

"It was a bit odd at first for I know for myself that the guild didn't looked like that." She continued. "I entered the guild only to find out the very same faces that I knew. I thought I was dreaming but no I was not. I saw Mira-nee and Elf-nii and I immediately felt at home. They actually thought that I was the Lisanna from Edolas. The Lisanna they've known."

"I concluded that the real Lisanna in Edolas was probably gone. Then I pretended to be the Lisanna that they knew. I just couldn't have the strength to tell them the truth about myself." She continued.

"Wait. Why do you have to pretend you didn't knew us back then at Edolas?" Natsu asked her. "You knew all along that it was us but you never speak. You we're there."

Lisanna couldn't look Natsu in the eye. She was guilty about it. It was selfish of her not to speak to them back then. She pretended that she knew nothing of them.

"I'm sorry Natsu. I'm sorry Happy. I'm sorry to everyone" she said to them. "I know it was selfish of me not to help you back then. I was afraid. I couldn't do a thing. I don't want to see Mira-nee and Elf-nii sad anymore. I am their joy. If I left them, they would be miserable."

Tears started to fill her up eyes.

"I know I'm not their real Lisanna sibling, but I know when I was there I gave them happiness. I've actually decided to bear the pain so that they'll be happy. To live my life at Edolas, that was my resolution." She continued.

Erza then looked at Lisanna then gave her a warm smile.

"You are home." She said to her.

Lisanna hugged Erza. She buried her face in Erza's shoulders. Tears came down. Her voice is cracking up.

"… Thank you…Erza… I'm glad…I'm…home…" she replied as tears rolled down on her cheeks.

Erza patted her back.

"We must get going or else all of us would catch a cold." Erza ordered. "I suppose the master is waiting for us already"

She turned to Lisanna.

"Let's go and meet your siblings."

Mirajane and Elfman Strauss just left at Chaldea Cathedral. They were now kneeling beside the grave of their sister and just silently praying for her soul. Mira laid down the fresh flowers she just picked and then suddenly sobbed.

"It's the time of the year already, when Lisanna left us Elfman." Mirajane said to her brother. "She was such a sweet child. I terribly missed her."

Elfman encircled her elder sister with his right arm.

"I know that feeling well too" Elfman said to his elder sister. He started to sob.

"If it hadn't been me…"

"Don't blame yourself Elfman" Mira said. "Lisanna doesn't want you to blame yourself. It was an accident" She rested her head to his shoulders.

"I don't know what to do when you will leave me Elfman… You are the only person left to me right now" she said to him.

"I too…" Elfman replied.

Rain continued to fall. Elfman stood."Nee-san, we should probably get going." He said.

"Just a little longer." She replied to him.

"Mira-nee! Elf-nii!" a very familiar voice shouted. "Mira-nee! Elf-nii!"

They heard footsteps. Somebody is running towards them.

"Mira-nee! Elf-nii!"

Mirajane's eyes widened. Same with Elfman's. They saw a very familiar face running towards them. Lisanna. Their very own Lisanna.

"It can't…Lisanna!" Mirajane and Elfman shouted. They started to run towards her direction. When they met, they hugged each other quickly, so tight. Mira bursted into tears.

"I'm home Mira-nee, Elf-nii"

"Yes. You are home."
