Chapter 17: Fairy 16: To Fairy Tail – Part 4
Anyway, back to the point.
With over a year longer experience in the field, compared to her siblings. There have been many times when Mirajane has to face Dark Wizards.
And among the types of Dark Wizards, there is one kind she referred not to face.
The cult type – also known as the craziest type of Dark Wizards one might run into.
They are Dark Guilds that main focus is an idol, a crazy obsession among the Dark Wizards of those very Dark Guilds.
And the common idols of cult based Dark Guilds, are normally Gods, Gods that either made up, existed in the distance past… or false Gods, that tell others they are a God themselves.
that is the reason, from very the moment the dumbass mentioned God, was the moment Mirajane knew… Zack is a victim of one of them.
It is commonly known that cult based Dark Guilds often wipe the memories of their new members.
Brainwashing them into their beliefs, creating the perfect brainwashed believers, that is no different to mad dogs themselves.
This is the reason why Zack mostly has no memories.
Of course, this also raised some doubts.
Because this God person, only install knowledge of survival, something known as the six something, as well those two Magic systems in Zack.
But that all they did, besides that harem thing, God wanted Zack to have.
They didn't use their Magic to install false information of their Dark Guild, they didn't tell Zack about their own twisted beliefs.
This is why it is so damned weird, because Zack only has the first half of cult based Dark Guilds memo, not the second half. However, the old man (Makarov) can deal with that.
Even so… two things made Mirajane uneasy about all of this situation surrounding Zack, or more like this God person behind Zack.
The first thing made Mirajane uneasy, is why did God told Zack about their guild name? But didn't give any information about what Guilds are, or even common sense?
And was it truly by chance?
That Zack just happened to arrive at the hut, that the former Guild Master used in the past?
It felt like… this God person wanted them to find Zack, but what for?
Why did they wanted their guild to find him?
No matter how much she dislikes everyone in the guild.
She still a Fairy Tail Wizard.
Her siblings liked the guild, and everyone in it as well. Even if Mirajane feels at times uncomfortable around them, with their genuine kindness, it still the best place for both work, and for her siblings.
In other words, she wouldn't be kind to anyone, who dare to threat the place her siblings like.
As for the second reason she felt unease… is the abilities God given Zack.
Mirajane knew Zack only mastered a mere grain of those Magic systems and strange martial arts are capable of.
Magic that can block Magic spells, while also hardening the body.
Strange martial arts, pushes the body beyond human understanding without aid of Magic Power.
And… a Magic system that capable of smashing things like glass.
If Zack only can use around 0.1% of those abilities… how powerful will God be? To give such abilities?
Mirajane felt uncomfortable, as her senses tells her… this person is might on the same level, as their strongest member in their guild… that scary to think of such a thing.
Can she with her current abilities, face such a monster, if they were to cross path with them?
"Hey! What is this massive blue thing, that looked bigger then the blue thing never the hut?"
The dumbass's voice snapped Mirajane out of her thoughts, as he looked at the dumb thing getting overexcited by the sea, that can be seen as they pass by it in the train they are on.
"What an idiot…"
Mirajane went with a quiet voice, before she snorts, she doesn't care about his situation. Others might pity him, by what has been done to him, Lisanna and Elfman might be in the dark, how cult type Dark Guilds worked, but they already pitying him already.
Not her problem, only thing that matters to this rebel or bully of Fairy Tail, is her siblings, and only her siblings, that is why, she sat away from the dumbass, with no intentions of getting involve with him.
Or that is what she thought, as her blue eyes looked at the dumbass all tied up in the ropes and blankets and who is now sitting right cross of her.
Mirajane is not the only who was shocked by this, even Elfman and Lisanna who was talking to each other, noticed Zack disappeared, only to find them right cross of Mirajane, who looked annoyed looking at him.
"Why are you here, sit over there." Mirajane went, not wanting to deal with this dumbass any longer. She already dealt with him enough, as she has no plan to get further involve with him.
"But aren't you lonely?" Zack askes, causing Mirajane to narrowed her eyes further.
"What you mean by that?" Mirajane askes not please or interested in this topic. As about to get up, and throw the dumbass over where he siblings are, but she halted in his next words.
"You looked fairly lonely to me for some reason… I don't understand it myself, is it joyful being alone, when you make that face?" Zack askes this, as he gives a gentle smile, which caused Mirajane to feel if he looking down at her.
Maybe that was why she snapped. Saying things, she normally not say, to someone who doesn't understand anything.
"Don't look down at me… when you know nothing about yourself! And I am not alone, I already have my siblings, and I don't need no one else, especially a stranger like you!" Mirajane went, as she grabbed the collar, or blanket around Zack's neck.
"You right, but aren't I looking up to you?" Zack went, causing Mirajane's grip to tighten on the collar/blanket.
"Stop trying to be a smartass in this damned situation!" Mirajane roared, and was about to throw Zack with her strength that has been increased by her Magic Power.
But once again, she was halted in her tracks, by the same person.
"Sorry was it…? I don't know anything… I might be this stranger thingy you mention, but it is wrong for me to get to know you? I want to know more about you… why you looked like you in pain? Keep your distance from me? Did I cause you any pain? Can't I be next to you?" Zack askes with a smile, the same damned smile, that dammed smile, that Mirajane beginning to hate!
She pulled him closer, having their faces only inches apart, as she roared her frustration of this damned dumbass.
"I don't need you to understand me, nor to be next to me! Don't you dare think you can understand what I went through! You have no rights to even judged me either, you nosy dumbass!"
Mirajane yelled, and let go of Zack with her right hand, only to throw a punch at the damned fool before her. But her fist halted right before Zack's eyes, who show no fear, or anything, but that damned smile.
That smile that seems unbiased, innocent, and curious about her.
A feeling she is not used to, when she can feel these emotions behind that smile and those eyes.
"I think… Understand about this judging thingy. But I am judging you? I am sorry if it seems that way, but I am not. I do have no right, like you said, to judge you. I don't know your past, nor do I know your future. You the first person I seen in this world, the very person who fought with me. Is it wrong to know more about the person I taken a liking to… was that the right word?
I want to know more about you, not to judge, but to understand you, to know the person I like, I don't know why I have this feeling I don't want to leave you alone, more I look at you, more I want to know you, I want to understand everything about you and understand why I wanted to as well. can't I?"
When Mirajane heard all this, her eyes widen in pure shock, as she found herself unable to punched the face. It wasn't just his smile, that carried those emotions.
In the last few days, how many times she pushes him away? Hit him, when he annoys her? Those eyes are very clear, eyes that staring at her, only has herself in these reflection.
Was it obsession?
And yet, that so understandable, for the clueless teenager, who knew nothing of the world. She was the first person or thing that walked into it.
Maybe that is why, Mirajane cannot punch this dumbass, since he is a real dumbass. Or maybe it was something else.
Mirajane for some reason felt her cheeks slightly warm, and her heart quicken for some reason. Mirajane just sighed, before letting off of the dumbass, tossing him back to the seat he took across her, before getting up herself.
"Don't say misleading things… dumbass." Mirajane went, as she didn't care about the floating question marks that seems to appeared above his head. Mirajane didn't look back, but she did say this, before she walked away from Zack, and her siblings.
"Do whatever you like… I need some fresh air." Mirajane only said, before walking away from the trio who all have different expressions.
"Did I say something wrong again?" Zack went; he only honestly told her how he felt towards her. Since she is the most interesting person he has ever met. Making the clueless teenager to knew more of her.
While Lisanna and Elfman looked in shock, what they just seen. Elfman thought his elder sister was going to throw the clueless Zack out of the moving train.
While Lisanna was about to get involve, if their older sister acts on impulse again. But Mirajane's letting the clueless boy go, and her comment at the end, left the brother and sister trio shocked beyond.
Not to mention, Lisanna noticed that slight blush on Mirajane's cheeks, of course the one who caused this, was slowly removing ropes tied to his body, reaching a hand to flee himself from the clothing on his body.
"Not this again! Don't remove the clothing!!" Elfman went, completely out of the shy boy persona once again, as Elfman has to race over to Zack, who show a face of being offended, when it comes to clothing.
"They feel uncomfortable! How can you wear something like this!!" Zack went aloud.
"D-Don't remove that as well!" Elfman went, as he has to retied the ropes around Zack once again. This caused Lisanna to giggle, to see her older brother unlike his shy slef, when he has to deal with Zack, who looked really uncomfortable having the ropes tighter around his body.
"Why!? Why don't you understand how uncomfortable it is…!? Oh… right, if you don't understand, I will make you understand!" Zack went with a grin, a grin that caused Lisanna a bad feeling, as she slowly slips away, when her bad feeling came true.
"W-Why are you undressing me!!?" Elfman roared in horror, as Zack grabbed a hold of his clothing, trying to get them off his body!
"To make understand how uncomfortable these things are!!" Zack went with a smile, while Lisanna walked away from the two boys.
Of course, as they are in a train, there are others watching this all the time. Many enjoyed the sight of youth between Zack and Mirajane's drama.
While some even took a living of this strange BL sight that about to take place. And there also those that looked annoyed at the nose they made, but mention nothing, noticing they from Fairy Tail.
Moments later, as Mirajane regained her mind, with these strange feeling the dumbass left her. She was greeted with a half-naked Elfman, and a laughing dumbass, of course, she wanted to walk away.
But in the end, she has no clue but to wrack the dumbass over the head, stopping the chaos in the train.
#################################################################
I tried to follow as much as the original fanfic, since it is a rewritten version. And at times, I feel I could do more… but no matter how I think of it, I just… don't know what that is.
Anyway, this is the end of act 1 of the original fanfic plotline.
From next chapter onwards, will be the first meeting between our clueless protagonist, and the rest of the guild, and the other key characters of this fanfic.
Not to say, I am basing Elfman, Mirajane, and Lisanna all on the fandom and what I can remember about them. I hope I done their characters right, because Lisanna os the only one that has the same personality compared to Elfman and Mirajane who are different before the canon begins.
That is all, and thanks for reading.
