Happy Thanksgiving!
Nastu's POV
I stopped abruptly which caused Wendy who was behind crash into me, I gave her a quick apology, "Sorry, Wendy." And turned around to Erza, "Erza I just remembered that uhh," I shifted my eyes quickly to Lucy then back, "Master wanted me, Gray, Gajeel, and Juvia to go investigate a dark guild that's causing a lot of trouble."
I saw Gray raise an eyebrow, I smirked, I guess he was impressed that I could come up with such a good lie. Inside my head I laughed.
Erza stopped with realization written all over her face, "So-so-sou ka! You guys go on then! And we'll head to the guild!"
Lucy frowned a tad bit, "Ehh? Wait Erza you're not going?"
Erza shook her head, "This is an assignment, or test you could say for these four."
Silence rippled through them, "Err, yes! A test! That's right; this is what the mission is!" Gray said sweat dropping.
Lucy brightened at that, "Oh, ok then, see you later!" She waved to the four of them, "Good luck, and see you back at the guild!"
Gray's POV
Man, that was way too close for my liking, the four of us stood there for a few minutes until Gajeel scoffed in a sarcastic voice, "That was so smooth, but a good show."
"HUH? Whaddya say bastard!?" Natsu yelled putting his face up to Gajeel's, "You think you can do better?"
Gajeel rolled his eyes smirking, "Better than YOU at least."
I shook my head at the two of them, "Well then, you two can stand around there arguing for as long as you like, but I'm leaving."
Suddenly Juvia popped up in front of me and gave me a start; I had forgotten that she was still there. She then gave them her own yelling, "That's right! You two can stay here forever while Gray-sama and I go off on a date!"
Silence engulfed us and street goers stared at us strangely while muttering things to each other like, "Hey, aren't those four from the trouble making guild, Fairy Tail?" and "Fairy Tail AGAIN, causing ruckuses."
Hey, at least Natsu here wasn't destroying buildi- I looked over, I had spoken too soon, he and Gajeel were throwing fire and iron all around the place, they had to be stopped, I held up my hands and froze both of them into blocks. I hurried them into an alley then proceeded unfroze the both of them.
I ran my hand through my hair, "We're supposed to be looking for the remains of the Tower of Heaven, NOT destroying more things."
Natsu grumbled, "Fine, only because Lucy's life is on the line, not because of your stupid speech."
The four of walked in silence for about five seconds when Natsu, (again) burst out, "Hey are you sure we're heading in the right direction?"
Again silence engulfed us.
No One's POV
"Ssoo," a voice slithered and giggled, "They are heading over now are they? Heee heee hee."
Someone in the dark rolled their eyes, "I think that statement clear, Koori."
"Then some fun shall be declared. Heee heee hee."
"Yes, you three, Koori Hebi, Kurohagi, and Masuko, the Death Order, go a forth and destroy they who shall get in our way to Lucy Heartfilia." A cold and smooth voice came from the darkest corner of the room.
"Yes sir."
Wendy's POV
Huh? I thought and turned around. I could have sworn I felt something icy, cold, and evil feeling behind me, it was hard to explain, but it certainly felt evil.
I walked up to Erza-san who was chatting with Fuji-san, "Umm Erza-san? May I ask you a question?"
She smiled and me and replied, "Sure Wendy what is it?"
"Errm," I did a quick and small glance around me and she seemed to get it.
"Ahh, look at that cake store, I think I would like to go and get a strawberry cake." Erza-san had a small triumph smile on her face as though she was proud of her quick tactical thinking. She turned to me, "Wendy come with me." She commanded.
Lucy-san smiled brightly and said, "Then how about we all go? We can each order something to eat then go to the guild."
Erza-san panicked, "Uhh no, its ok Lucy, I'll get something for all of us." She grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the store.
Inside Cake Shop
"Erza-san, did you also sense that evil slithery feeling of an evil dark guild?"
She nodded, "Yes, and we are going to follow them."
"Ehh? Then what about the cake? Or the rest of the guild members?"
