An Unexpected event.

Atsui was walking around the guild a night, he was there from a few days already, but it was his first time going down to the guild Library.
It was late night and everyone were asleep, or at least that was what he thought.

The room was quite wide, many desk and shelf were around the room, a few books here and there still opened, sitting on their desks waiting to be read by someone. The lights were faint, but strong enough so that people could read, and the candle scattered around the library made a lovely orange/brown shaded color on everything.

That library must had been very old, Atsui could guess that by the manufactured chairs and desk, that now days were nowhere to be found, and the craftmanship of these object was over the top.
On the bottom of the left side of the room, in a corner there was a magical shining gate the light was bluish and swirling with no rest, it was his first time there and he had no idea, what that warp was for, but decided that it would have been wise to stay far from it.

As he started to read the title of the endless number of books on the walls, he stumbled in one that was rather interesting for his own magic development. Sitting on a chair, he lit a few candle that were already on the desk, so he could have more light.

And started to read, but without noticing he was reading out loud, with a very low voice but, but strong enough to be heard by anyone that was in the library with him, if there was any other people.

So, i thought that void magic, was originated in my village but it looks her root are lot deeper, i will ask Heero tomorrow if i can take this book to my room..
it looks like i can learn a lot from this about my own magics..

Then he kept reading completely absorbed by the book, for a good half hour.

Then suddenly his curiosity towards that shiny magic gate, started to make space between Atsui's mind, he would then slowly walk next to the warp trying to observe if he could see anything on the other side...

Late in the night, Hana was in her room trying to go to sleep. However, to her displeasure, it was no use. She has been having nightmares lately, especially tonight, and she couldn't sleep. Well there goes my promise... Hana though in her mind. Her boyfriend was the only one who knew about the nightmares, and since he wasn't a Fairy Tail member and couldn't be there, he made her promise to get some sleep no matter what.

Hana tugged at her hair in frustration, and then came up with an idea. She gently and quietly grabbed the lit candle on her nightstand, covering it from the wind so it wouldn't go out. Yes, it was kind of ironic that a shadow mage would have to use lights to see in the dark, but she was just afraid of big open spaces where anything can be lurking. Besides, without a light, how WOULD she be able to see shadows? Unless, of course, if she used her magic, but that would be such a waste.

Quietly making her way downstairs, she saw a shadow heading in the same direction, and a light was coming towards her way. Glad I thought of the candle... She complemented herself, and blew out her candle and hiding in the shadows. There was nothing else she was better at, being a shadow mage, of course she would have spent her childhood hiding away like the dark silhouettes themselves. Why, even when she was playing hide and seek, trying to gain friends; however, the kids would call it cheating and say she cant play with them anymore... but that was in her past. As the figure walked by, the moonlight hit the face of the person, and Hana saw it was her dear friend and fellow guild mate Atsui. Wondering what he could be doing, Hana decided to ditch the water she was going to fetch and follow him instead. Usually she wouldn't resort to such savage actions, but her curiosity got the best of her. She followed him all the way down to the library, where he read a book aloud. Once he was done, he was coming to walk out, but then looked at the mysterious blue thing that swirled in spirals. As Atsui was edging closer it, Hana began to become antsy, and instinctively ran over to Atsui calling his name. "Atsui! You don't know what that is, stop!" While running over to her friend, she accidently tripped, pushing Atsui and her into what was now revealed as a portal of some sort.

It was only a innocent curiosity.

Atsui never intended to enter the portal without asking for permission, specially because he had not idea of what that portal was for.
But as he was lost in his thoughts, a voice popped out of nowhere!
Atsui was very good to sense people close to him, but that girl must had something different from the other wizards, maybe her magic where pretty one sided for a single purpose, like Atsui's for stalling enemies and avoiding difficult situation. That girl might have been specialized in stealth or something similar.

This was what the boy had thought as soon a he saw her calling his name.
But then she suddenly started to run towards him, probably to stop him! Bu t he never intended to enter in the first place.

When she was very close to Atsui , she tripped on a pile of book that had been left on the ground, and fell over him, pushing him into he gate, and rolling inside soon after.

SBONK!!

A loud sound announced the big impact the two had, and then nothing. A few seconds of flashing light all around them, and soon after they popped up on the shore of Tenroujima island!

Oh my.. my head hurt and is still spinning...

This was the first thing he said as soon as he could say something, Hana headbutted him by mistake while falling, and the impact had been quite violent.
With his left hand he was massaging the point that was hit by the girl.

Then he started to watch around him, and saw Hana laying on the ground next to him.

Hei Hana, everything ok? did you got hurt somewhere?

He was on his knee and was trying to see if she got hurted aniwhere.
Around them only the sound of the forest and the wave of the sea. Atsui had no idea where they were, since it was his first time in that island.

"Ow..." Hana complained before trying her best to sit up. Once she succeded she looked around her to look that she had landed her and Atsui on Tenroujima Island... Boy was she gonna be in trouble with Heero when he found out. But seriously, it was an honest mistake. People don't know how to put their books back! Hana simply just ignored Atsui who was kneeling beside her, and began to look around. The sight was amazing. All around her was a beautiful forest blooming vibrant colors, and a sea that sparkled under the light of the moon. It was just like the place she had dreamed as a child. Beautiful, peaceful, and safe. She walked around a bit before taking her shoes of and running a tad into the water, just enough to reach her mid-leg. She laughed and smiled as the soft breeze rushed through her short, silver hair, the pain of the early compact now forgotten. The sand sweeping across her feet being pulled out by the current gave her a soothing feeling. Even if she couldn't stay, she at least wanted to enjoy herself a bit. Looking down, she spotted a beautiful seashell, and decided to pick it up before putting it back, just to observe. She layed down in the water, basking under the moonlight. THIS was a place she felt at peace, free of whatever evil the world has to offer.

(Out of topic: i will finish this job because i started and it would be rude of me not to do it, then  as i posted i will not post again)


Atsui got completely ignored as she run toward the see, it looked like she had found peace in that place but the guy was still confused about what had happened, they weren't even supposed to be there in the first place, she was kinda lightminded compared to Atsui.
As he didn't really love to get wet and dirty with sand, the boy just stood there, waiting for Hana to have her fun. They would have found a solution anyway, a few minutes of carelessness and freedom , would't have not hurt them.

But what would have they done there?
Atrui kept looking around for clues and , his sight got attracted by a passage that could be barely saw , in the middle of the bushes.

Then after a few minutes Atsui said:

Hana! We should find a way to go back, or at least going around the place to see what can we do here.

Then he started to walk in the direction of the passage he previously saw. Slowly as his feet were sinking a bit in the sand. In that island the temperature wasn't as cold as in magnolia, that warp sent them pretty far he thought.

As Hana was back-floating in the clear and shimmering water of Tenroujima Island, her attentionwas attracted by Atsui yelling to her Hana! We should find a way to go back, or at least going around the place to see what can we do here. and she begrudgingly got up. It wasn't like her to have this attitude, but she just finally lost all the tension corrupting her small body, and to get it all back was a terrible thing. Even so, she got up knowing that having fun would make the situation with the master worse once they got back. Running, she eventually caught up to Atsui and walked along side by side with him. However, it was silent, and it was kinda awkward too, well, that's what Hana thought. It was a good thing she had the sounds of the chirping birds' songs around her to put to nerves to rest. Listening to the birds, she swayed side to side lightly, careful not to bump into Atsui. This was a special thing Hana held about herself for ever since she can remember. Whenever nature sings, it doesn't come out what others hear. It sounds like as if a beautiful chorus of instuments was being played, lulling Hana to either peace or sleep, depending on her intentions.

The girl got back on her track before Atsui had thought, but since she reached him, the both were kinda silent. But after a few hundreds meters the boy broke the silence.

Hei Hana...
Do you know anything about this island? I mean , it's the first time i saw it, so i have no idea what place is this, but you in the guild from longer then me..maybe you know something that can help us go back?

While asking his question Atsui was enjoying the silence of that place mixed with all the natural sound that follow a wild island. And he felt a weird strong magical power emanating from all things in that place.

If there was a good place where mages could train faster in their magic, that, was surely the place to advance, as the magic around the island was abundant, allowing a mage to come up with new ideas , and apply them with ease and with more strength.
Atsui was very curious about Hana's magic , since she was able to caught him off guard into the library, and that was a thing that people could not easily do with him.

They kept walking for a few minutes, and the young black haired wizard could see Hana's worries, probably meant to be towards Heero, since as she said we had not been allowed to go into that place. He wanted to cheer her up, but he wans't exactly the type that usually find the right words to cheer up people, so after his question he just waited for Hana replies.

As Hana was listening to the wonderful song nature had to offer her today, Hana was pulled away from it as Atsui asked her a question. Hana tried to look back on her memories of when she was chatting with the guild but saw nothing of the topic about this island. "Well, no... I don't recall anything about this island. The guild master never mentioned it. And trust me, we both are pretty close. He's like a father to me. He's overprotective of me and usually he doesn't let people touch him, well, that's what I heard, however, I'm aloud to glomp him and get a piggy-back ride from him. So him not mentioning this place must mean that it's pretty secret." Hana explained to her guild-mate surprisingly not stuttering. That was actually pretty strange, She's usually shy around new people. Looking around, Hana noticed exactly what this place would be good for. "Although... doesn't this place seem perfect for training?" She inquired with a gentle smirk on her face as she watched leaves flowing through the trees, once again enjoying the serenity as she patiently awaited for Atsui's reply. She knew that training with people usually strengthens bonds, and it would also heighten Hana's social skills... a little. But it was still progress. She swears this guild has changed her.

Atsui didn't know about any kind of relationship between any guild mates, he was too new to know.. Off course some people have stronger bound with some others, but that never affected the boy way of thinking, since in his eyes there was no best friend, he used to treat every people in the same way, probably because he lost his childhood memries or simply because he liked it that way, as he thought it was no right to treat people solely based on relationship.

Aniway , as Hana spoke, Atsui understood that her bond with the guild master was quite special.

Glad to know you have someone you care about..
But i'm surprised i have to say, since you have no idea what this place is, just like me.

After a few seconds of silence he added:

You said training hu?... It's true that this would be a perfect place, and that we have to stay here untill we find a way out.. so why not using this time in a good way?

I think i totally agree with you.

Then he smirked back at Hana, even knowing that he would have probably get beaten up pretty much, since his magic had only one spell for attacking.

Then the two went around a bit more, but failed to find any warp back to fairy tail or any clue about what that place was. But as they kept walking a good thing did happened.
They stumbled in a place that was perfect as a training field.

The trees there where positioned all around a empty square of grass, and the empty area was quite wide, as if the island itself, had invited them to improve their own skills, and who knows what else!

The small girl nodded to Atsui's statement of how she had people who cared about her and smiled a bit. Then causing her to think back on the tone of her guildmate's voice. Did he not have anybody to care about? She frowned at the though, and carefully told him, "You know... Fairy Tail isn't only a guild. It's a family. In there, everybody cares for each other as if they were related. Even newbies like you." She hoped that this remark would cheer him up a bit. Continuously walking, they soon came upon a clear patch of grass. Hana looked at the training field that they had soon come upon in astonishment, and with a shy but sly smirk, she inquired "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" This place was a training feild itself, but this spot in particular was PERFECT. The trees sprouted around a square of grass, and there were many shadows around. Perfect for using her magic. She wondered what Atsui's magic was like, and as she did so, she ran over to the training field to check it out. It was BEAUTIFUL. The moon loomed over the area creating the previously mentioned shadows. The grass was long, but not too long, and the trees provided a gentle and cool breeze. If she wasn't planning on making her time useful with training, she would've wasted it instead to lay down and sleep here while stargazing and waiting for somebody to find her and Atsui. Most likely the guild master.

I guess we Do think the same thing here..

It would be a waste to to train here when the place is definitely perfect!

He was watching Hana straight in her eyes, but even if he was very nice with her, it was visible a slight shadow of loneliness that never left Atsui's soul.

I'll try to be a good training partner, even if my magic aren't exactly meant to fight, i'll do my best.

Smiling kindly he went in the opposite direction that Hana had choose to run..

After taking a good distance from her he put himself in a "look like" fighting position, then quietly waiting for her, to realize the sparring match was started and she could attack or do whatever she wanted from that point on.

Atsui was serious, he knew that probably those were his last days in the guild. if something very strong or persuasive could not give Atsui a reason to stay , he would have left.
And at the same time he was sorry because if only his magic were stronger he could have brought back Hana to Magnolia in no time. But in his heart Atsui never had a reason to strengthen his magics. What he knew was good enough just to travel and avoid problems.

A gentle breeze was caressing Atsui Hair as they followed the wave of the breeze moving in harmony with the surrounding leaves, the moonlight that passed through the trees illuminated the boy face, and his already pale skin was even more white with the ray of light surrounding him, while his black eyes had the moon reflection on them.

It was a beautiful guy but still so lonely and empty, as if he still had to find a reason to live, a reason to stay in that world.

Hana saw Atsui take his fighting stance, and clumsily got up to get into her fighting stance. However, something stopped her. It was the look in her fellow guild mate's eyes. She knew that look, and all too well. It was the same loo she possessed throughout her young life before coming to Fairy Tail; It was the look of loneliness. This made Hana frown, remembering her sad days as a child, but vigorously shook the thought from her head, and got into fighting position. If she was gonna train, she needed to be serious about it and not let the past corrupt her, mind nor body. Getting her serious face on, she shouted "Shadow needles!" signaling that the fight has begun, and most surrounding shadows dashed over to her, shooting back out around her in needles as soon as they made contact. Hana knew that her needles weren't always accurate though, so she needed to take cover seeming as how she didn't now Atsui's magic. "Shadow needles!" She shouted once again, and she disspeared. Well, not really. She was hiding in Atsui's shadow. She chose his in particular, so she could make a stealthy blow, except the thing was, she couldn't cause harm to anything and she coudn't use any of her other magic. Well, it was worth it...

(Out of topic, sky blue is Atsui thoughts, not words, the purple are his words.)

The young girl ,took her stance in no time, more like a conditioned reflex then a normal reaction.
At the start she was hesitant, but that was only a brief moment, suddenly she screamed her magic out loud, and as soon as she did it, it was easy for Atsui to figure out what kind of magic she used.

So shadow magic.. it's my first time seen a shadow magic user, and..

The boy was thinking for a short time, but then the girl after screaming her magic name again disappeared from his sight. And Atsui instinctively used his Void movement magic to get out of that unfavorable position.
All the shadow needle whipped around the place hitting only thin air.

Void movement...

Atsui said it with a faint voice, and disappeared as well , only to appear over a resistant branch, of these trees around them six meters above the ground. The boy moved through his void dimension, to change location. As it would look like a teleport but in fact it was using another dimension in which he could compress space and move without being seen in a blink of an eye..

All the shadow needle whipped around the place hitting only thin air.
I really would prefer not to get hit by that, it looked pretty much painfull..

He was silent, and completely submerged in the shadow of that huge tree, he knew that staying in the shadow , could have been dangerous, but at the same time, he knew that in that place there were way too many shadows, to run around and dodge all the places.

So he basically hid in the shadow itself, getting rid of his own shadow.

Now let's see if she appear somewhere..

Atsui thought that on that branch there would have been no space for another person, so even if she could appear from the shadow itself, maybe she would not dare so much!

Or at least that whas what he thought.
Now he was waiting hidden behind the tree to see his opponent next move.

Hana was pulled by Atsui's shadow, and she knew that he could use void movement magic. It felt weird... Hana thought she was about to be sick in fact, but she shook it off. Finally, Atsui landed on a branch, and stayed there. This was much to Hana's delight. It looked like Atsui was scanning the area for her. 'Won't he be surprised...' She thought, although in order to make her next move, she had to be swift and accurate. This move was gonna be tough, but rather worth it. Getting in a crouch position, she jumped out of Atsui's shadow grabbing onto a higher branch to help her side-kick Atsui, accidentally kicking the base of the tree and causing her foot to bleed, mainly because she wasn't wearing shoes... because, you know, it was late, and she was just getting water when this happened... and... YEAH. Hana grunted in pain as her foot collided with the bark, but she didn't stop. This was training after all. What type of mage would she be if she couldn't handle one scratch to the foot? Obviously not a very good one. If she wanted to get better, this was the way to do it.

Even if Atsui had no shadow, hiding behind the tree shadow, the girl was able to keep following the guy. It was completely taken by surprise, since he was sure he had left Hana on the ground, but he was mistaken.

Apparently, out the tree shadow on the same branch where Atsui was waiting, the nimble girl popped out jumping higher and grabbing a branch just a bit over the void wizard head, and Executed a side kick.

Caught completely out of guard Atsui lost the equilibrium, and fell from the branch. Because of that Hana happened to kick the tree, getting a little hurt or her feet. But that didn't let her lose the focus as it seems. She was tough, lot more then expected!

Atsui tried to break the wall by grabbing a branch, but the branch he grabbed was not resistant enough, and it break under the boy weight, as result the fall was slowed down a bit, but the impact on the ground had been quite painful for Atsui!

Damn... didn't see that coming, really.

He stood up as fast as he could, but he had fall on his right side, pushing his lung with his arm as he hit the ground, so he was totally short of breath. But still he took a few meters from the tree where he climbed before. Now looking up at Hana and raising both arms in front of him, he prepared to shoot his Void compression magic, but since he was short of breath the spell needed a bit more time then normal. While otherwise it's a very fast spell to cast, in that case it took a few seconds to be casted.

A sphere of swirling black and white light started to gather in front of Atsui, as he was aiming in Hana's direction.

Atsui took the kick, and fell to the ground, Hana now having a triumphant smirk on her face. She knew the fight wasn't over, she was just happy that her plan worked, even with some complications in the way. However, Atsui was now on the other side of her with his arms in front of him. It looked like he was charging his magic, which was proven to be true as a sphere of black and white light formed in front of Atsui and aimed at her. She needed to think quick, but she didn't know how powerful the attack was. 'Whatever, anything to black some impact will be doable.' She thought to herself, and she dove behind a rock as the ball of light shot at her. Crushing the rock it seemed to die down a bit, but it still hit her, bearing her teeth to stop her screams of pain. She struggled to get up, and used her shadow cloak in order to hide away from Atsui so she could shake off the pain and get back to business. 'He sure does put up a fight...' She thought with a small and solemn smile. It reminded her of the times her and her siblings would train or fight with each other.

Atsui had the impression, that his spell would have easily missed  or at least being predicted, but against any odds, Hana tried to hid behind a rock, that was shattered by the void compression spell, and after losing a lot or strength, it finally connected and hit his target, but the power was greatly reduced from the rock in front of her.

Atsui couldn't say it that had been a wise choice or not, but the fact was that she was still standing and even able to quickly cast a magic to conceal her presence mean that her choice was probably right.

The boy understood more or less his training partner magic, so he tried to see if some strategy could do the trick in this friendly fight.

He looked around himself and found a post in which there was more light, and then he turned toward the moon, that way the only shadow he had around himself, was his own and behind his back. And before turning and lowering his guard on purpose he prepared his small trap magic spell, drawing with in index finger a circle on the ground, visible only to his allies, he marked a fifty centimeters circle on the ground exactly over his shadow, and then turned again toward the moon.

If she wanted a direct confrontation he was ready, and if by any chance she tried to use her shadow to attack from behind the magic circle would have teleported her directly in front of Atsui.

It was up to her now, Atsui stood looking around waiting for Hana to make her move, as far as he knows, she could be everywhere in that place full of shadows, the only good things was that he was in a spot lighted by the moon rays.

As Hana hid in the shadow of a tree, she spied on Atsui to see he was drawing a... circle? Well... something was up, that's for sure, however, it wouldn't be so safe to make a direct attack, seeming as how the place was surrounded by moon rays. Deciding that maybe if she were to use her shadow needle spell once again, she'd be fine. But she needed a back-up plan, just in case. Looking out from behind the tree still hidden, she planned out her motives. She'll run across the perimeter towards a closer spot as she hides in the shadows, then she'll jump out once behind Atsui and throw shadow needles at him. Catching him by a state of surprise, she would then pursue him in hand-to-hand combat. If anything went wrong however, she'll bring out her Shadow's sword spell and use it to any of her advantages. It was a great plan, Hana knowing for sure. She used to get compliments all the time at how great her strategies worked out. It was a hobby she developed after a great impact occurred in her life, and it seems all those days of reading and playing board games such as chest and shogi. Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Hana got back to the fight in front of her and proceeded with her plan. Although, something went wrong. As soon as she casted her shadow needles, she was what seemed to be teleported in front of Atsui, and on reflex, she used her back up plan. Using her magic, she summoned her shadow's sword and swiped it in front of her as if it were a shield. Not a very good one, like the rock had been, but still, decreases damage.

The sound of light step all around , gave Atsui the idea of what was happening more or less.
Off course he had no idea of what kind of attack he would receive , but still he kept his cold blood.

Hana rushed all around and then hiding in the surrounding shadows and moving exactly on the one projected by Atsui at his back. After all, there could be no other way to attack for the girl, the. The plan succeed , and as soon as she started to cast her shadow needle , she got teleported right in front of her target, but promptly drawing out a shadow sword!

She was able to cast two magic spell in a single moment, that sure was something Atsui still couldn't do, but the thing the girl didn't know, was that Atsui had no intention to attack...

Dimension Fusion!!
The Fairy wizard jumped backward, and as soon as he landed he clapped his hand once, and took a weird prayer position, but as soon as he did that a black square room of three square meters engulfed Hana. The magic itself does no Harm, but she was completely blocked inside that alternative dimension room, and could not move, also she wasn't able to breath inside that confined space.

Well now.. Don't get scared or agitated, this magic only last thirty seconds Said Atsui with a smile.

This is the point in which i usually run.. since my magic are meant to stall enemies or protect allies , i'm thinking a way to do something but..
Since in the stock of your magic you have a magic weapon , there is not much i can do..

Dimension fusion was a magic he only used when cornered which mean that fight was definitely being won by Hana. But he didn't want to simply give up, so he just started to summon his void compression sphere once again. He would have released it as soon as the Room of void were to disappear. If she would find a way to dodge that or was good enough to cut down the sphere with her sword, well, Atsui would have gladly received her next attack.

Hana was trapped and short of breath, unable to breathe in what seemed to be some type of dark abyss. However, she wasn't scared, it was actually peaceful to her... strangely enough. Her peace was cut short after what seemed to be thirty seconds, bringing Hana back to the fight in front of her. Hana noticed that in front of her, Atsui had summoned the same circle that had brought Hana into that pitch black abyss, and she instantly started up a plan. She won't be able to use her Shadow's sword, neither her shadow needle due to cool down. She couldn't use her Shadow cloak either, and using her shadow's sight would just be a waste of magical power, titling it as useless as of now. But then that's when Hana noticed, her sword didn't dissapear. It struck Hana odd since she used it as a shield, but calling back on the event, her shadow sword never cut through anything. She hatched up a plan, she would use her shadow sword to cut through Atsui's circle since it isn't living, and then use the hand-to-hand combat skills that her siblings had taught her when she was young. With a smirk, Hana acted out her plan. She ran straight for Atsui and with a raise of her sword cut down through the magical void circle and through the drawn line just incase, causing both spells to dissapear. Hana then proceeded to raise her fist and bring it down upon Atsui's face.

(Off topic, i can't cast that spell again, this is the first one i casted to you, so its just a sphere of void, there is no magic circle on the ground ^^ anyway! i ll go on with what you wrote!)


That could be counted as a spell weakness, the dimension fusion magic, is able to stop all magic while being casted, but not something as a summon already summoned, or a sword taken from other dimension. That didn't count as stopping the spell, so yea, Hana sword was still there with her.

As Atsui was ready to cast his Void compression spell, Hana run towards him in a flash, the Dark room was just a diversion to take time, so he could cast the spell, but he didn't expect the girl to dash towards him after being unable to breath for thirty seconds. Instead of being short of breath, Hana seemed to be more energetic. IT surprised Atsui so much that he didn't have the time to realize how could she be completely unaffected. Her sword cut through The compression void sphere, and as soon as the two magic collided, they completely disappeared and nullified one with the other,

But Hana had planned that in advance, or maybe she just bet the fact that Atsui spell would be nullified when entering in contact with another spell of the same strength, whatever the reason, she succeeded in whatever she wanted to do , and also sneaked in between Atsui defence, landing a hit straight to his face.

Shocked quite a bit, more for the surprise then by the actual punch Atsui fell on his but, with a totally surprised expression. Shaked his head and rolling on his back, he took some distance from Hana. And after massagin the part that had been hit he mumbled.

Darn, good thing she was a girl.. so even if well aimed the strength is not excessive..

Then he spoke a bit more loud to Hana.

If you were a guy, that puch would have K.Oed me for sure..

He was still massaging his jaw with his right hand , and at the same time he was hiding a smile with his arm. Atsui was happy that Hana was strong.
He didn't know her from much , but still she had been the only guildmate he had a confrontation with, so it was a bit closer then the others.

Then he left himself falling on the grass facing and watching the moon, through the tree leaves, and after a few seconds of silence, he started to laugh. It wasn't a mocking laugh or a strange one, it was a laugh of joy, probably the first in his last nine years.

I give up!! You won Hana...
Next time try to go easy on me , my jaw is hurting like hell! hahahaha

I give up!! You won Hana...
Next time try to go easy on me , my jaw is hurting like hell! hahahaha
Those words sent Hana's heart to flutter. She actually beat Atsui. It was tough, sure, but still. Although thinking back on what Atsui said, Hana thought it was pretty sexist how he said if she were a guy instead of a girl to have a stronger punch. "You know, I actually could've punched you harder, if that's what you would like..." She commented with a slight smirk. She immediately remembered the time when her friend panty-raided her, which resulted in her kicking him out the window. Not very nice, but still, what earlier brings pain is later laughed at because of one's foolishness. Of course though, it isn't like that all the time, just on special occasions, like every once in a while. After a moment of silence, Hana joined in on gazing at the night sky with Atsui. It was rather beautiful at this time of night, and the gentle song that was played through the breeze once again brought Hana at peace, and she hummed along to it. She knew Atsui wouldn't be able to hear the song, so she decided to just hum it for him. A song amazing as this shouldn't go to waste after all...

Ha.. Harder..? do you want to kill me or what? he answered her while listening to her humming.

Atsui didn't have a night as refreshing as that one, since he was a child. He was kind of happy and sad at the same moment, even thinking about everything he had to pass to reach the guild, he could not find any reason to stay.
He was too afraid to lose everything again, and surely this time he would not be able to withstand it. Getting close to people is nice... but the closer you get, the harder is when people due or disappear.

He wanted to leave a nice memory of him at least to that girl, she was a bit distant when they came into the island, but after their fight, she seemed to be a bit closer, at least enough to make some jokes, and smile happily.

Thanks... Hana.. Added Atsui after a few minutes , with a faint voice he thanked the girl from the bottom of his heart, at least he would have a few nice memories before leaving.

I guess now, we should seriously find a way to go back to the guild.
But at night it would be harder, so i suggest to sleep here , i'll stay awake and guard.

After saying that the boy took off his black cape, and gave it to Hana to cover herself. It wasn't cold at all in that island, but with late night it would have been more chilly.

That cape was pretty luxurious, black outside, and dark red inside, he really liked it, so he would not lent it to many people. But he thought it would be a nice farewell gift, off course is she wanted to accept it.

Hana looked down at the cape and smiled. Thanks Atsui... She said in disbelief as she laid down on the soft, grassy ground and tucked away under her guild-mate's cape. It was comfy and warm, not like the other times she ever slept on the ground. On her face she held a sad smile, Atsui's kind act reminding her of a distant memory from when she was very young. She didn't like remembering those types of events, events where her siblings would treat her ever so kindly and help her hurt and frail body. She shook of the thought, and looked up to Atsui, who was keeping watch. She noticed that even though his face held a genuine smile, his eyes told a completely different story. She decided to investigate it, that is, if she would allow her to, and she sat up. She wasn't much of the comforting type either, not spending her young life around many people, not even ones she could call friends, but she didn't want to appear rude, or even worse... oblivious. "Atsui... is something wrong. Your eyes' emotion shows sadness." That came out a bit awkward, but, that was the best way she could interact in a calmly manner. Curiosity and concern was etched onto Hana's face, as she awaited a reply.

Everything is ok.. thanks for worrying Answered Atsui with another kind smile and a pat on Hana's head, messing up the girl hair just a bit. He didn't have the heart to speak openly with her, he knew that she was ok now, but in the past she had the same sadness as he had now.
It was better to bury that sadness away for the moment, all he didn't want, was to sadden the closest thing to a friend he ever had.

C'mon now, sleep, tomorrow we have to find a way back to Fairy Tail.

Then he gave Hana his shoulder and started a small fire.

He hoped that she didn't ask other question, since he didn't want to make her sad with his story, plus he wanted to leave a happy Hana at the guild, and not a sad one. He had the luxury of that night to remember.
Maybe if he found a reason to stay in fairy tail he would have come back one day. But that was how it had to be, except for Hana, no one in the guild had become friend with Atsui. The other people would have barely noticed his absence, and that was for the better.

Atsui promised to himself that day, that if that girl needed a help or a hand one day, he would have come to help her. The cape he gave her had a magic summoning circle drawn on the inside. If she ever called his name in a time of need , he would have been automatically summoned next to her.
But for that to happen, he needed to become a stronger wizard..
