Well hello everyone, did this chapter surprise you? Trust me this was supposed to be out a long time ago but I got sidetracked with other stories and different things kept popping up. But none of that's important because I'm back and this story is finally getting an update after a year. I apologize for the wait so without further delay let's get started.

'This is a waste of time.'

"Tell me about it we've been here for like an hour and not a single model in sight."

'We have been here for ten minutes.'

"Shit really? Huh… time flies when you're bored as hell I guess."

Gaara closed his eyes and released a small breath at the demons constant reminder that they had yet to see any models, Gaara could care less really he just wanted to get this interview over with and return to the guild. But the demon inside of him kept it no secret of what he was interested in.

As soon as he had arrived Gaara had been lead to an empty waiting room, he assumed that this is where the other participants would be but since there wasn't anyone else here it left him alone with his own thoughts, and those of the giant demon in his mind. At this moment his was sitting with his eyes closed thinking about ways to help Cana's and Erza's training improve. Erza was creative in her fighting but had many wasted movements that could easily be exploited and Cana had her own ups and downs, she had been able to throw her cards much more effectively but hadn't improved much on control her magic flow. Maybe if he practiced chakra control with her that could help.

In the middle of his thoughts he heard the door creak open, and opened his eyes to see the new arrival. It was a tall bald man around his age walked into the room; instead of normal eyebrows he had two black dots just above his black eyes. He wore a black kimono with no sleeves and a pair of sandals. Both men paused and stared at each other for a few moments until the new arrival gave a deep bow before straightening again and speaking.

"I apologize for the sudden intrusion, my name is Jura Neekis of Lamia Scale."

Gaara gave his own nod at the introduction and stood and gave his own bow.

"I am Gaara Scarlet of Fairy Tail."

"I am pleased to meet you Gaara."

"As am I."

A strange silence entered the room at the introduction, Jura scratched the back of his neck and glanced around the room, then took a seat opposite of Gaara.

"Holy shit can't someone please come in here and be mildly entertaining? I'm starting to lose fucking mind with all of this quiet."

'I was under the impression that you already had lost your mind.'

There was a strange silence in his mind as both Gaara and Shukaku tried to process what had just happened.

"…Did you just make a joke?"

'…Yes."

"…Huh, didn't think that would ever happen. Points for the effort but better luck next time red."

A tiny sigh escaped his lips at the demons retort, in all honesty his joke had likely shocked him more than it did Shukaku. After all he rarely, if ever, made a joke. He could only guess that the demon was starting to rub off on him in a way that he disliked.

Both men sat completely still in the room and not a sound was made until the door slammed open and two men and a women walked into the room.

The first man in had a large orange spiked mohawk, with a dog collar and black sunglass combined with a full leather outfit. The blue haired woman had her long hair freely flowing down her back and a purple dress with a dragon design on it with a split in the leg; she had a pair of arm length purple gloves and a matching pair of purple heels. The final man in the room had his green hair slicked back and his pure black suit made him come off as nothing other than professional. When they all took their seat the green haired man ruffled in his front left pocket and pulled out a pencil and a notebook.

"Thank you all for coming here today for the interview, before we begin I'd just like to say what an honor it is to meet all of you."

"Of course it is, now would you mind speeding things up? I got a date tonight an' let me tell you, this babe's a total ten out of five."

The orange haired man had thrown his hands behind his head and was slouching in his chair, the interviewer didn't seem to mind but Jura was giving the man a subtle glare while the woman had rolled her eyes before inspecting her nails.

Gaara merely crossed his arms and sighed at the behavior.

'This man is embarrassing his entire guild with this act.'

Without paying too much attention to the disrespectful man the interviewer decided to begin.

"Just for the record I'd like each person to introduce themselves as well as the guild they come from."

"My name is Jura Neekis and I am from the guild Lamia Scale."

"Adeline Faust, from Mermaid Heel."

"Say ain't that the all girls guild? What do ya say to introducin' me to some of yer guildmates? But only the good lookin ones though."

A perverted look stretched across the man's face at the thought while a disgusted one came onto Adeline's.

"Drop Dead."

The man looked like he was about to say more when they heard the interviewer clear his throat and nod at the leather man.

"Oh yea. Names Marko Cain, from Quatro Cerberus."

"Gaara Scarlet, from Fairly Tail."

After that the interviewer introduced himself as Saul and started asking them different types of questions, from what kind of missions they've been on to the type of magic they use. Jura said he used a type of earth magic while Marko said he used sound magic and Adeline stated her magic was a type of wind magic.

After that he started to ask some stranger ones like their favorite dessert, what kind of hobbies they like and even about their love life. Jura had said that while he wasn't currently looking for romance he wasn't against it, Adeline had completely dismissed the question and Gaara had said that he held no interest in romance.

It was Marko who decided to answer the question with perfect honesty and spoke about all of the women he'd slept with in his life, and the whole time Saul was excitedly writing everything down on his notebook.

After the last question Saul took a moment to read everything over and gave a satisfied hum when he was finished.

"All right, everything looks good. Now last but not least we'll be heading over to the photo shoot for our individual and group photos, if you'll follow me please."

All four of them followed the interviewer out of the room and down the hallway to a larger room where cameras and light were set up. They started with Gaara's photo and after a few attempts to make him smile the photographer decided that he liked the pouty look better on him and pulled Jura in for his photo.

'Almost over, just one more photo and then I can return to the guild.'

After Marko and Adeline took their photos all four of them were pushed together for one final group photo, it truly looked like this would actually be over, until he heard a gasp from beside him followed by the sound of skin smacking skin. He turned his head to see Marko with a cheeky grin holding his left cheek while Adeline stared daggers at him.

"I've put up with your vile behavior all day, but no more! It seems someone needs to knock some sense into you and I'll gladly be the one to do it!"

"Ooh, didn't take you for the kinky type. But alright I'm game."

Marko's statement only seemed to add fuel to the fire; Adeline raised her hand for another swing when Jura stepped between the two.

" While I agree his actions have been less than appropriate, this is neither the time nor the place for a fight."

Adeline lowered her hand but kept all of the fire in her gaze.

"Fine. We will continue this outside."

She turned in a huff and marched outside with Marko wagging his eyebrows and following after her. Jura gave a sigh and fell in line behind the perverted mage; a quick look at Saul showed him and the cameraman grabbing a camera and another pencil and notebook before rushing outside. Being the only one left in the room Gaara closed his eyes and sighed, he could leave right now and not a single person would care, but then there was the nagging voice at the back of his mind telling him to go after them to make sure nothing to bad happened.

"You should go watch, could be fun."

When Gaara didn't answer Shukaku quickly spoke again.

"Please go, I'm so bored."

While he ignored the demons begging he did give into the better half of his conscience to make sure nobody got to hurt.

Adeline and Marko stood a few feet away from each other while Jura, Saul and the cameraman stood a good distance away from them both.

"So what do ya say to us goin somewhere more… private after I win our little fight sweetheart?"

"I'd rather die than spend more then a second alone with you."

Placing a hand over his heat Marko staggered back a few steps before giving a big grin.

"Don't knock it till you try it sweetheart. I'm pretty damn good if you wanna listen to what every chick who knows me has ta say."

There was a slight growl from Adeline as a gust of wind circled at her feet.

"Enough of this! Prepare yourself."

With a thrust of her hand Adeline sent forth a strong blade of wind that arced up and slammed into the ground where Marko had once stood but before it came back down Marko had thrown himself directly into the air and hovered directly above Adeline.

"Sound Hammer!"

There was a loud screech as Marko threw a punch at the air and a translucent object rocketed toward Adeline and slammed into the ground as she nimbly dodged the attack by using a blast of air to sound her backwards. On one knee Adeline threw her arms to the side and Gaara watched as wind began to spin around her arms.

"Angel's Fury!"

The wind that was once on her arms came together in a larger cone and slammed directly into the still airborne Marko's chest forcing him to crash hard into the ground. Adeline stood up straight and stared at the dust cloud where Marko had crashed.

"Sound Cannon!"

A stream of high-pitched sound came bursting from the dust and forced Adeline to cover her ears and take a few steps backward. Marko casually walked out of the dust with his sunglasses nowhere to be seen, exposing his cloudy eyes. He heard Saul gasp and begin furiously scratching down notes in his book before looking back to the fight.

"He's blind? I never would have guessed. But how can he fight so well?"

"I was taken by surprise as well, however I'd guess that it was his magic that lets him move so well. If used at the right frequency sound can create an echo which tells where something is."

Both Jura and Saul looked over at Gaara to see his eyes glued to the fight, Jura gave a nod and Saul once again started writing in his notebook, all the while the camera man was taking many pictures.

Adeline couldn't move her hands from her ears due to the loud shrieking noise and the force from the spell kept pushing her backward.

"Ya know, all ya have ta do is give up and I'll stop. Course I'll also need a victory kiss."

If Adeline heard Marko's words she didn't show it, instead she threw both of her hands straight down.

"Angel's Heartbeat"

Two blades of wind came flying toward Marko and hit his hands interrupting his spell and giving Adeline enough time to recover.

"Angel Barrage!"

She threw both arms to her side and dozens of spheres made of wind took shape. As Marko tried to launch another spell Adeline threw all of her orbs at him and hit him in rapid succession causing another dust cloud to be made, but instead of watching it Adeline took the initiative and spun in a quick circle before launching a spear of wind at Marko.

"Angel's Spear!"

The spear entered the dust cloud and exploded, sending Marko flying across the field. When he landed Adeline was about to launch another spear but stopped when a large stone took shape in front of her.

"I believe that will do for now."

The deep voice of Jura cut into the tension and Adeline was about to argue when a look of frustration etched across her features.

"Very well, but next time he will not have you to save him."

With a quick spin Adeline spun on her heal and marched away with Saul and the cameraman chasing after her. Jura went to check on Marko and offer him a hand but had his arm knocked away by the angry looking man.

"Next time, stay out of my fight chrome dome."

Jura's eye ticked at the insult but did nothing else as Marko made his way over to his sunglasses and swiped them out of the dirt; he rubbed them on his pants and placed them on his face before leaving on his own. When he had made it a good few feet away Jura released a sigh and gave a bow to Gaara.

"It was a pleasure to meet you Gaara Scarlet, perhaps next time it will be much more peaceful."

At this Gaara gave a nod and made his way through the city to get back to Fairy Tail.

It was early in the morning when Gaara got back to the guildhall he heard the sound of chatter coming from the inside and pushed open the door to be met with immediate silence that was quickly followed by loud cheering at his return. A couple of the men asked him how many girls he met while at the interview while some of the women asked what it was like to be in such a famous building. Before he could answer he felt tugging on the back of his shirt and saw the tiny form of Erza tugging on it with a pout.

"Yes?"

Instead of responding she only pulled harder and Gaara took it as the silent urge to talk about something important. He turned around and let her take him by the hand and pull him out of the guildhall and across the city. She didn't say anything the whole walk so Gaara figured that it must have been something important, when she finally came to a stop he had to control his face so that it didn't show his reaction, no matter how hard Shukaku was laughing inside his head. She had dragged him to the sweets shop.

When he looked down at her all she did was dig her heels into the ground and pull on his hand with both of hers, with a sigh Gaara gave in and allowed himself to be pulled inside. Upon entering both him and Erza took a seat at their usual table and when the young waitress came over she gave Gaara a kind and sympathetic look.

"The usual?"

"Please"

When the girl set off he turned his attention to the young girl across from him who was currently bouncing in her seat while she waited for her treat. He didn't know why the girl loved strawberry cake so much, but incidentally she'd eat it all the time if you let her. It was the farthest thing from healthy eating and he supposed that the only way to work it off was to train with Erza more. Which was, unknown to him, something that Erza enjoyed more than strawberry cake.

And there it is. Again I am very sorry that I made you guys wait so long for this chapter, it was actually supposed to be up like a year ago but I got pulled aside by other stories. Speaking of which I'm currently thinking about doing an SYOC fic for league of legends focused on the real life players trying to go pro and not the champions, if that's something that interests you then I have the form on my profile page, and if that doesn't interest you then I do other stories too. Anyway if you guys have any questions about anything regarding my stories then feel free to PM me and as always please review and tell me what you thought of the chapter. Until next time.
