Hey guys! Currently I can't work on my other piece, The Host Club Fairies, right now due to some laptop difficulties, so I'll update and work on this if I can't work on the other one. Anyway, do all those review things and I'll see you at the end of this chapter! :D

Chapter 1.

~C~

The guild doors swung open with un-natural calmness, and in strode two people. One wearing a large brim hat, with his jaw covered in a scarf, and a pin-stripe suit. The other was a girl dressed in all black, her dark hair swaying lightly around her hips, deep eyes focused completely on the bar ahead of them.

They strode up the counter, the man tapping the silver-haired barmaid on the shoulder. Mira turned around, smiling and drying a cup.

"How can I help you today?"

"We're looking for a young lady named Eve Vollfied"

"Sorry, But I don't know anyone by that name here"

"Ah, well, what about a Miss Lucy Heartfilia?"

The room went quiet, all eyes trained on the two strange people. Of course, a certain pink-haired fool felt the need to break said silence.

"What do you want with Lucy?" his voice was low, and his eyes kept darting to a certain blonde, who, of course had not noticed the deafening silence or the two strangers, sitting at the bar. She was literally a few seats away from them, eating a strawberry sundae with happy, childish plastered on her face.

It seemed the girl had noticed and nudged her partner, nodding her head at Lucy, who remained oblivious to the duo walking calmly over, leaving a very angry Natsu in their wake. He was double-pissed now. For one they wanted Lucy for some reason, and the other was that he was ignored. He hated that! He was about to ask them again before being stopped by Erza, who was silent, keeping Natsu still with a firm hand on his shoulder, her grip strong enough to crush his bones, but luckily for him she didn't.

They had repeated the process they had done with Mira, the man tapping her quickly on the shoulder, waiting patiently for a response. Lucy looked up from her glass, losing her focus on the strawberry she was trying to balance on her spoon, not even a moment had passed before she was smiling again, before she stood and hugged the stranger, and everyone in the room was totally silent, confused at who the two were and why Lucy knew them. She took a step back and all ears strained to hear the sentence that just left her lips.

"Good to see you again, Skulduggery".

As you can see, with my other story, my first chapters are always really short, since I just use it as an intro or a prologue before I really get into the story. Anyway, see you next chapter!

Love, your ever happy word-bender
