Chapter 3

Brown eyes sparkled while taking in the glossy imagine within the popular wizard magazine. Taking up the centerfold were two beautiful wizards whom the young girl had been idolizing for the last two years.

First was Mirajane Strauss: The Demon Wizard. The busty woman was dressed in a red and yellow flower bathing suit; the thin, two-piece bikini pulled tightly over her large breasts and round ass to the point the wet material dug into her skin. Water left ivory skin slick with droplets, her wet silvery white hair plastered to her skin, her bangs falling into smiling cobalt blue eyes. Her shapely thighs pressed together with the famous Fairy Tail insignia on her left leg in white. The smiling woman was looking at the other woman beside her enjoying the beach scenery behind them.

This girl was of the same height with long flowing raven hair that fell in swirling waves to her lower back just above the pale pink and burgundy bikini bottoms that were pulled tight over her shapely behind. The dark color of the bikini showing off the creaminess of her skin and her toned figure. Sapphire eyes were bright with mirth as she posed mid-splashing of Mirajane, her bent position showing not only her breast but the silver Fairy Tail seal under her right shoulder on her chest. This woman was Kagome Taishō; General of the Fairies or Taishō no Yōsei.

Stars gleamed in the young wizard's eyes while looking at the two 'S' class wizards of the Fairy Tail Guild. "They're amazing," she cheered to herself, before eyeing her sloppy companions who were in the midst of stuffing their faces. "I really hope to meet them one day, if I can get into Fairy Tail that is. They're my number one choice, but they don't take in just anyone you know,"

Lucy beamed a dreamy but determined look washing over her face.

"I don't see why you're idolizing them, sure Kagome's nice but she's scary," Natsu grumbled under his breath between bites. The comment going unnoticed by the chattering blonde who went about explaining stuff that he already knew.

"Yeah, she can be really scary," Happy agrees with another bite of his own food.

Narrowed brown eyes swivel to the two. "You two better not be talking bad about Fairy Tail! They're the most popular guild! If you couldn't tell I'm a wizard too," she sighed. "I haven't joined a guild or anything, but their my number one choice," hearts were dancing around her as she hugged the magazine.

"Sorry, all this wizarding stuff must be confusing to you. But I'm definitely going to join that guild someday," she smiled.

"Oh yeah?" Natsu muttered through a mouthful of food.

"You talk a lot," Happy sighed.

The conversation continued till the blonde deemed it time to leave. Pulling the money on the table, she waved back to the almost in tears males, both bowing in thanks much to her embarrassment.

"Well I'll see you two around," with that she left not knowing she'd be seeing the two sooner rather than later, they'd be saving her and then taking her to her dream guild.

~o.O~O.o~

Walking into the guild, Lucy was a bit overwhelmed. Her knees buckled and stomach tightened, she was so excited.

"We're home," the young teen yelled once kicking the doors open. There was a murmur above the crowd all of them in greeting with taunting slurs about the destroyed port.

Lucy was left in awe, her eyes wide as she took in the sight of the guild and the guild members. But her amazement was quickly dashed by Natsu. He leaped through the hall, starting a fight with another member about the salamander rumor. She was dumbfounded by the sight, tables and chairs flew around as he went after the rumor teller.

Fights broke out around the hall, Happy sadly being thrown back after being hit by debris, even though he had only been trying to warn the salamander wizard to stop.

Standing was another teen, his well-muscled body scarcely clothed in a pair of blue boxers. The boy's gray eyes blazed from behind his blue-black hair. "So Natsu finally made it back," with those fighting words Natsu turned his attention now on a new opponent. The two lunged with fists ready.

"Natsu! Gray!" A voice yelled over the ruckus making the two teens freeze mid-strike. His back visible rigid, in fact, everyone was stiff.

Turning, hearts bloomed within Lucy's chocolate eyes. There standing on the stairs was one of her idols the regal Kagome Taishō. The eighteen-year-old girl stood with her arms crossed, dressed in a navy skirt, and a gray kimono styles top with the bell sleeves decorated by blue and magenta flower petals, a violet obi tied at her waist. Altogether the look was flattering, the shirt dipping down to show some cleavage while the obi accentuated her hips and waist. Though strapped to her hip was a sheathed katana and at her back was a quiver of arrows along with a bow.

"What have I told you two about fighting in the hall?" She glowered, magenta streaking across her sapphire eyes.

Even Lucy shivered in fear, though she was still in shock of seeing one of her fairy tail idols in the flesh.

"N-not to-o," Natsu trembled.

"Not in the Guild," came Gray's equally trembling reply.

"Then take it outside, and anyone else who wishes to continue can do the same," she yelled over the guild. Everyone nodded, releasing their opponent and going back about their business.

She then smiled, finishing the last couple of steps she joined Mirajane who was only a few steps away from Lucy.

"Hello Kagome, I didn't know you were back," the cheery woman greeted.

"Just did," she smiled before blinking, her sapphire eyes switching to Lucy.

"Hi there, are you new here?" The teen asked sweetly enough. Inside Lucy was admittedly fangirling over the two women.

'It's really them! In the flesh!'

Walking up was a short elderly man. Lucy quickly recognized him as Makarov: Fairy Tail's guild master. "Thank you Kagome, I swear without you those children would tear apart, my guild,"

"No problem Master," she grinned back.

Makarov's hazel gaze slid to Lucy. "Seems we've got a new recruit,"

Nervously she nodded, sweat gathering on her brow. "Y-yes, sir!" She squeaked.

"Nice to meet ya," he greeted. "We can talk more later," jumping back with a flip the older, and much shorter, man landed on the second floors wooden railing. A stack of papers in his hand as he looked down at the guild members.

With a clearing of his throat, he yelled. "You've gone and done it again! Just look at this paperwork the council sent me this time! And they're all complaints! You've all lost your minds? All you kids are good at is getting the council mad at me!"

There was a moment of silence, a mix of shame filling the hall before the master spoke again.

"However," the air changed, everyone seeming to beam with pride at the encouragement that entered the master's voice. "To hell with the damn council," the papers bursting to flames within his hand. Tossing the burning pages, Natsu greedily eats the flames. "Listen closely, any power that surpasses reason is still born from reason. Magic is not some miraculous power, it is only recognized when the flow of energy inside us and the flow of the energy in the natural world come together perfectly in synchronization! To perform magic, one must have mental strength and ability to focus- no- it should take over your being, and come pouring from your soul! If all we ever do is worry about the damn magic council, and following rules, then our magic will cease to grow! Don't be scared by the council, follow in what you believe in, choose your own destiny and follow that path which you believe wholeheartedly in. Because that is what will always make the Fairy Tail Guild number one." Raising his hand, Makarov pointed skyward with his palm facing him but his pointer up. All around Lucy watched as the others did the same with a cheer. Even she wanted to do it, having been encouraged by the master's kind words of magic and those within the guild.

From beside her, Kagome grinned at her. "So you going to join?"

"Yes!"

She and Mirajane smiled, both overflowing with acceptance and welcome.
