Chapter 1: Light Sin

Disclaimer: I do not own the Seven Deadly Sins or any of the characters involved except Guardian L. Light and Guardian S. Shine

Another day at the boar hat inn, a small crowd made their way into the dusty tavern and ordered a round of drinks and food. Sitting down at their table they dug in with gusto as the young tavern owner set about preparing more for the next batch of customers.

The door opened and as he lifted his head he was surprised by what he saw: Two women, one matured and the other in her teens. The older one wore a simple white gown and the younger a pair of white pants and a jacket with short sleeves. Both had long white hair that reached down their backs, although the younger's seemed more disheveled than the older's.

"Welcome to the boar hat ladies, how can I help you today?" He asked.

"We're looking for someone in particular, we were told they'd be here today," The older woman answered.

"Who would that be?"

The younger girl looked up to the older one and she nodded. Leaning in close she whispered to the barkeep.

"The Dragon Sin of Wrath, Meliodas, we've been tasked with finding him,"

The young man laughed as he heard the answer, "Well, I can assure you he's not here, someone as big and scary as that wouldn't come to this dusty old place,"

"Yeah, that's right!" A voice called as it approached. A pig made its way into the tavern's main room.

"Whoa! Is that a talking pig!?" The young woman asked.

"Not just any talking pig, I'm the ruler of scraps, Lord Hawk!" the pig shouted triumphantly.

"Oh, that reminds me, you didn't give me your names,"

The older woman bowed her head slightly, "My apologies, my name is Guardian S. Shine, and this is my apprentice: Guardian L. Light,"

Light put her hands over her front and bowed from the waist.

"Wow, you two sure are polite with all that bowing,"

"Anyway, if you're sure the person we're looking for isn't here, we really must be going," Shine said as she stood up straight and turned to leave. "Come along Light,"

She nodded and turned to follow her master out the door when it burst open. A figure in rusty armor stumbled into the tavern, muttering something incomprehensible through the metal face plate.

"Whoa!" Light shouted as she saw the scene play out, "Master, what do we do?"

"Let things occur as they do Light, that's our first rule," Shine said calmly.

The knight began to stamp its way through the tavern, once it was past the door the patrons poured out in droves leaving upturned tables and spilled mugs all over.

"The Seven. Deadly. Sins!" the armored figure called out with each step as it came closer to the trio.

The barkeep stepped forward "Alright pal, what's going on here? Why don't you take off that helmet and we can talk,"

The figure stopped a few feet away from the young barkeep, it raised a hand toward him, but then it stopped and collapsed onto its back a moment later. The helmet rolled away and revealed a young woman's face with long silver hair.

Light looked up to Shine who simply smiled as she watched the barkeep grab the woman and take her upstairs. She motioned for Light to follow. The trio made their way up to the top of the boar hat tavern where the barkeep removed the girl's armor and set her on a bed.

"Let's see here, looks like a girl," he said to himself as he looked her over.

"Are you serious right now? Of course she's a girl!" Light shouted.

"Only one way to be sure,"

He put his face down near her chest and breathed in the air, "This perfume… her buxom shape, and those breasts,"

He reached down and squeezed one of the girl's breasts, which caused Light to tense up.

"Master! Are we seriously just going to let him fondle this poor girl?"

Shine had covered her eyes with her hand, "I do admit this is unlikely how things were meant to play out, but-"

"Forget how things are supposed to go!" Light shouted as she leapt across the room to stop the barkeep.

He turned on his heel and caught Light's clenched fist with his free hand before leaping over her and landing behind with her arm twisted at a painful angle.

"Ow, ow, ow!" Light called as she tried to contort her body to make the position less painful.

"I don't recommend trying to hit me unless you really mean it, ok?" He said as he let go of her arm.

"I do apologize for my apprentice sir, she can act out on her own at times," Shine said as she approached.

"Don't worry about it, I'm used to a few scuffles from the bar downstairs," He said with a grin.

Shine smiled in response to this, "Now, if you don't mind, how about we get down to business: Dragon Sin Meliodas,"

He stopped grinning as she said that, "I'm sorry ladies, but you've got the wrong-"

Shine held up a hand, "I hate to be rude Sir Meliodas, but we definitely have the right person. We were given a description very different from the one on your wanted poster, and you match the one we have perfectly,"

"Is that so? And who gave you such an accurate description?"

"I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to say, your world is new to the realm and while I would be happy to share information, I am forbidden to at this time. All you need know is that the ones who sent us are your allies,"

"Allies eh? That's a new one, with the whole country hunting me down for the last ten years it's welcome to hear someone is looking for me to become friends," Meliodas said with a grin.

Light finally stood up after recovering from her arm twist and she walked back over to Shine.

"If you would be so kind as to allow us to remain here with you for a few weeks, at least that to ensure our mission is indeed necessary as we believe,"

Shine did a curtsey and Light bowed again.

"Yeah, that's fine, but enough with all the formal stuff," Meliodas waved his hand dismissively.

"Very well, if that is what you wish," Shine said as she and Light stood up again.

"What I wish is for your apprentice to become one of my waitresses, with her body she'll be bringing customers in, in droves," Meliodas said with a grin as he got close to Light.

"H-hey!"

As the two began their argument it was cut short by a stir from the young woman in the rusty armor.

"Seems she's awake," Meliodas said as he looked to her.

"It would seem that way indeed," Shine added.
