A Fresh Start

Nothing but a simple breeze filled the new set fall atmosphere giving a spring-like feeling to the enviroment around her and her careless Uncle Hikaru. His purple hair draped down in looking at the guild. He was more of an older brother or cousin since they were so close in age. He was only seven years older than her. She knew he was born late in the family. He was the only source of family she got that could take care of her. Though, it was the other way around since she had to look after him constantly since he was so careless and laid back. A gentle touch on her back guiding her to the door as Hikaru gazed down at his only niece. His older sister was the mother of LeeAnn as he could seeing a lot of her qualities in LeeAnn. The mannerism, the long hair, the eyes, and face. Though the hair color was a rogue trait since it was so rare as well as the illness. The right half of her face was deformed by a black-purple mark that extended from right half of her face to her neck and covering her whole right arm. It was a sickening sight. For protection, she wore bandages covering those areas from protection. "Remember, they're a rowdy bunch. Don't get reckless like you did when you nearly cooked me alive" he said.

LeeAnn gave a sarcastic smirk showing her true colors for just a flash. "You were being cooked to medium-rare. You needed a tan after looking like a vampire" she smiled giving a smirk. She had definately hung around Concord too much. That spirit was extremely sarcastic. Hikaru gave a sour look at her and gave a small huff out of frustration. "Seems you'll fit right in, big mouth. I'll be back to pick you up. Just holler when you need something. See ya around, kid" he smiled from ear-to-ear. She hated it when he called her that. Soon, it would become a pet name for her. The crimson joined Fairy Tail because of the past experiences she had with them and they were all good. Unlike Blue Pegasus, there will be no heavy baggage here and a fresh start.

Wearing her black leather armor, she felt safe and it tightened around her skin securely. It was an associated of comfort to have a protective coating of arms on your side. She was weaponless for the time bieng but hopes to excel in different skills to provided assitance to those in need, much like herself in her past life. She opened the doors feeling nervous actually approaching people. Most did not see her as approachable as she was always confined at rude or much of a lone wolf. Some of hte members noticed her as she dodged flying chairs and people quickly with her long legs. LeeAnn was tall for a woman and stood above some of the standards of heights for an average girl. She walked up to the bartender who reconized her from before. "Can I just have a water please, with a squeeze of lemon just a bit" she said. She felt her inner guardians gettign all excited with the new enviroemnet. "Dang, these people are so careless. Thsi is the very definition of LeeAnn. Reckless and tempermental" said Concord in her head. She heard a small slapping sound making her laugh inside knowing Kirara didn't like rude comments like that. Concord was always so sarcastic. "I was joking, sheesh! Man, why are woman so abusive" hissed Concord in her head. LeeAnn sipped her water giving a few tired gulps and set the glass down gently.

Careless was an understatement for some members of the fairy tail guild. It could be said the ruckus they cause can shake the dead awake. Of course, a newer member would have brought truth to this saying, whether he wanted to or not.

It seemed the commotion had a power surge coming from the left as a man who was going to drink his beer suddenly had his chair break from under him and the beer spilled on another man's trousers, starting a fight. Another man was telling a story more closer to the new woman at the bar and was using his hands to tell the story until by very bad luck, he hit a woman at the waist who was passing by the table. The woman, mad by this, clobbered the man and pulled a chair from a nearby table to join her friends. Which a man by unfortunate luck sat down expecting the chair and fell straight on the ground. To anyone who observed this would have called this an very unlucky day at the time, to the members it seemed bad luck was there. However, there was a cause for this and if some of the members noticed they would see.

A weird dog was making it's way to where the newcomer sat at the bar. Weird because from afar the dog appeared to have a violet aura around it. As it got closer though it could be seen that the dog was dead, or undead for that matter. It was a skeleton of a canine with the violet aura around it that gave it the appearance of a dog while the bones were visible. The whole feeling from it was a bad one, it would give the sense of something disastrous or something close to it, and it would odd that the bad luck that happened to the members happened right when the dog walked by them. Even the chairs or kicks went through it like the dog wasn't there to begin with, but it was visible to anyone who looked. Then it stopped in front of the newcomer and sat down looking at her, its stare felt like a bad omen, however the dog itself gave no intention to be aggressive. It just sat and stared at her, wagging its bony tail expecting something(See the pet link for details if this wasn't enough).

It's owner tried to make his way to the skeletal dog but then got caught between two members fighting and got overwhelmed disappearing from sight for now.

Fairy Tail's Guild Hall. The perfect picture of chaos. However, some members were perfectly at peace amidst all this, looking almost comical with their peacefulness compared to the chaos around her. This member was a young twelve-year-old girl, with long black hair streaked with blue and white pulled over her shoulder. She sat in a corner, chatting with a brown tabby cat who occasionally flapped her... wings?

To a newcomer, this may seem completely out of the ordinary, but the mages around her paid the sight no attention, continuing to fight and laugh as the chaos went on. The exceed cat, whose name was Hoshi suddenly pointed up at the bar, where an unfamiliar girl stood. "Is that a new member?"

The young girl, whose name was Sorano stood up, peering over the chaos and noticed the girl quickly. "Sure, I think so, Hoshi-chan. Let's go welcome her!"

The two would cautiously edge their way through the crowd, making their way to her. Apparently, someone's pet had met her already, standing at her feet. It seemed to be a skeleton... Weird. Probably that necromancer's pet. Sorano stepped up to the girl, and paused a second before saying, "Hello, are you new here? I'm Sorano Granon, a mage of Fairy Tail, and this is Hoshi," she gestured at the exceed. Now, Sorano was very antisocial. The only reason why she was introducing herself to this girl was because she had had a lot of help when she herself had joined, too, and wished that others might feel just at home as she did back then.

LeeAnn felt a spiritual presents as her magic could sense other beings around her. Animals, whether dead or alive, she liked much better than people. It was one of the few things that showed her true nature as a person. When it came to people, she came off as cold and careless about others. She was a woman of a armored heart meaning she was a strong women but on the inside she had persona that was hidden under the covers. She always was hiding something from everyone else. Her true self. The constant fear that haunted her all her life and if exposed her status would change drastically. The crimson was curious about this sense of magic. She turned around in her seat peering at the undead dog. It was wagging its tail at her happy to see her. "UGH, that thing is scary! Did someone burn it's skin off or something" echoed Concord. LeeAnn gave a face at his comment, but ignored it thinking of it as nothing. Things went through this creature as she knew if she tried to scratch its chin or pet it her hand would go through it.

Having spirits of her own, she knew things like this wouldn't be effective. She took a small glowing object out of her pack. It was a spirit cookie meant for spirits to eat like this one. LeeAnn fed it to the creature as it enjoyed it. "You're a pretty little fella aren't you? Good boy" she smiled. A small girl that looked to be around eleven or twelve with an exceed that was a brown tabby. Animals were one of the keys to be friend her, though if they were with humans it would be a little bit harder for her. Her face turned calm and looked as if she was emotionless of all things. She welcomed her to Fairy Tail and introduced herself. Thank you Ms. Granon. I hope I can be of serve to this guild and not get my head blown off by these...interesting drunken members" she said simply. Though she was completely emotionless and had a cold touch to her at time which trying to ward off people.

Ah a new day with the same chaos, fighting, chatting and laughing in the Fairy Tail Guild hall Julius won't trade this guild for any other thing in the world. Julius walked out of his room towards the tavern like guild hall where he saw the same scenario's happening every day. Suddenly Julius felt a chill running down his spine when he felt a ominous presence. When he looked a bit further in the guild at the bar he noticed Zecarayus with a dog. Oh my gosh! A dog! Julius loves dogs! Julius began running to the bar but when he approached the dog and Julius could see the dog better he noticed that the dog was death. Oh so maybe that dog is the source of the ominous presence Julius felt. But anyway hi Zecarayus-kun! Oh hi Sorano-chan and... um who are you? Julius was referring to the girl at the bar with some bandages around her. Oh wait a minute you must be a new member! Hi my name is Julius Seas! What is your name?! Where do you come from?! What kind of magic do you use?! Julius bombard the girl with questions while shaking her hands up and down very fast.

The specter dog ate the spirit cookie and yipped happily with a ghoulish undertone. The cookie itself dissolved into the dogs body as it no longer had organs, and created a mix of violet and light blue along its colors. It liked her as all newcomers in fairy tail, then saw sorano approach with her little exceed, which he yipped happily at the approach of them and moved to where the spectral dog sat between the newcomer and sorano looking back and forth between them. Then his attention focused on julius when he approached them and yipped happily at him too, So much family! the dog thought happily. Then it's attention focused on it's master who was father away.

Zecarayus broke the two fighters apart and their friends held them back from going at it again while zecarayus tried to navigate the rowdy crowd to get to the spectral dog, or shuck. Then as he made his way through someone drunk wanted to fight him for the sakes of it and threw a punch at him. Zecarayus, by luck, dodged it and tried to talk the aggressor out of the fight, which he only threw another punch and landed soundly on zecarayus's jaw. Zecarayus, not one to take a beating, suddenly put both hands on the aggressor and appeared to scream in his face but no noise came from him. In truth zecarayus used a fear spell, and it showed as the aggressor was babbling like a baby terrified out of his mind with his eyes completely black and tried to get to safety by clinging on to one of the nearby members. Zecarayus fit in to the guild but at the same time did not, he did not partake in the random fights that the other guild members did but he still caused a ruckus by his necromancy, it was a horrible magic to be hit with as could be seen just at that moment.

Zecarayus finally reached the spectral dog and the small group formed around the newcomer and looked at his dog, "Hey, have we been causing trouble again shuck?" he asked the spectral dog in a have-you tone. Shuck merely yipped happily at the sight of his master, not knowing of the words he spoke. Zecarayus looked around and sighed, no one was hurt to badly because of it, so zecarayus was glad for that. He then pet shuck, which was actually a transfer of mana from zecarayus to the shuck, which after the ominous feeling would dissipate just leaving the shuck creepy to look at. Then zecarayus noticed the change in aura of the dog, "Well, what happened to you eh?" he asked, which then noticed the newcomer barely. He knew because shuck usually got really excited when their was a new guild member and it showed. He was going to say hello with a smile, then julius came in suddenly and gave his welcome speech to the newcomer. Zecarayus sighed with a smile, then moved to the other side of the newcomer and asked the bartender, "Can I get a aqua vita?" which was really a old way of saying just water.He thought about getting after julius for leaving him in the brawl as he passed by but, it wouldn't be worth the trouble zecarayus thought to himself. So he watched the whole greeting between the newcomer and julius with interest, zecarayus would introduce himself when he got the chance, he was patient like that.

Now, LeeAnn wasn't the only person who could be cold here. Though the letter mage had revealed a small smile while greeting the newcomer, she instinctively transformed her face back into an emotionless mask as LeeAnn spoke. She smiled inwardly, though, as the new girl mentioned the drunks of the guild. Fairy Tail was a rowdy place, and though some fit right in, it was obvious that this girl wasn't exactly the wild crazy type.

"You'll get used to it eventually," Sorano sighed softly, "everyone does, even me, and I'm only twelve." She prepared herself for the shocked outburst that usually came after the statement about her age, though she had a feeling that this girl was more controlled, a bit like Sorano in her own way.

Of course, then Julius had to come running over, the cause of some of the chaos. Though the girl wasn't the wild crazy type, she felt that the annoying water mage definitely was. Though Julius was many years older that her, Sorano often felt like he was just an annoying little kid. Then, he had to call her Sorano-chan, again! Though her emotions were too well concealed for all but the most sensitive, she still greeted him politely, as he was an elder person.

Hoshi felt that she had been too shy after awhile, and slowly crept out from behind Sorano. "A-ah, hi, miss, what's your name? I'm H-hoshi, Sorano-chan's exceed companion." She then proceeded to slowly inch away from the skeletal dog, due to the fact that cats and dogs were natural enemies, even undead ones.

An odd man began to shake her hand randomly and very strong too. It shook her whole body making her a little unstable. Afterwards, she shook her hand out of how strong this guy was. Her other hand massaged the sore area. A few methods went back to an awkward moments for her since she wasn't the type to really talk to anyone she left everything vague and a simple nod showing signs of nervousness and with straining from shying away. She felt awkward around people since she never came to like her own kind. But she joined Fairy Tail to over come that or more perhaps her spirits did to bring some light into her life. She had no choice but to listen to them since they were her superiors and part of the Nakamura code to follow orders from your higher ups. The creature's owner came by and noticed he changed colors of aura and wondered what it could be. LeeAnn paused looking up then squatted down to pet the dog once more. "He was fed a special flavored cookie designed for spirits like himself. Their made of magical ingredients that would help your pet's performence. Don't worry he should return to normal in about three days" she replied blankly. The pet would bark and wag his tail as it reminded her of her old pet dog as a kid before her ruthless father took him away.

The exceed introduced himself shyly as a rare smile came from the girl's lips appearing at the tabby exceed. LeeAnn knew she needed a pet adn know Concord was around here somewhere. That spirit was always up to no good at all as he was causing trouble for her and her uncle left and right. He had a sacastic mouth on him too and never knew when to stop. "Exceeds like yourself are becoming a popular companion around Fiore, huh? Please to meet you Hoshi and Sorano. I am LeeAnn Nakamura, pleased to meet you. I have my pet around here somewher, but he does his own thing" she said. Concord was more of a mutant reptile than anything with a mouth of a dog and a mouth of a sarcastic little brat. They were close and he was one of few to get a smile out of the depressed and aggressive girl. But right now, she remained to have a loner type feel to her not used to people as the activity was seemingly overwhelming due to the fact she was alwyas being ridculed in the past for her illness. "I will hope to be of service to your guild and do my part" she said bowing to the three of them.
