I'M REALLY SORRY BUT I MADE SOME CHANGES IN THE FIRST CHAPTER.
SORRY FOR THE TROUBLE....
*********
You found a cheap rental hotel. Tired by the events of the day all you wanted was a nice shower and sleep.
You stripped and stepped into the hot shower rethinking how the events had turned out.
--- Few hours before...
"Maybe he's here in Sabertooth. What's his name?"
"Rufus Lore."
All three looked shocked. Finally Rogue spoke up.
"Rufus Lore as in the memory make mage Rufus?"
"Yeah. Do you guys know him?" you were feeling hopeful.
"Well [F/N], Today's your lucky day. Rufus Lore happens to be a member of our guild. " Sting laughed.
"Really?" yes!!! Finally your search is coming to an end.
"But unfortunately he's not here. He's out on a quest. He should be back in two days."
"I knew I'd find the idiot. Thank you."
Yukino laughed."Well [F/N], let's get going. You need to find a place to crash"
"Sure."
Sting and Rogue walked both of you out and they waved goodbye. Yukino showed you around the town. It was a magnificent place. Bonus is that the snow-clad mountains of south aren't far from the guild. That means it's easier to train here.
---Back to present
You finished your bath and climbed to bed. Rufus. It's been five years since he left you....You shivered at the memory. You can't forgive him. But there's no way you can stay mad at him too. But for now you close your eyes and let sweet sleep take over.
---Next day
You were staring at the humongous missions' board wondering what to start off with. Then an old mission at the far end of the board caught your eye. It was to defeat some monsters that have been rampaging a nearby hill-station. The pay was relatively low but enough to suit your current needs.
You went up to Yukino."Hey, should I like, report to anyone before taking the quests or what?" you asked her.
"Well no. You just go there and finish the job. The client would inform the master."
"That's good to know. Then I'm out of here. See ya later."
"Going solo?"
"It's an easy job, besides I need to be here tomorrow right?" you grinned at her, which she couldn't of course see due the hood. Nevertheless she laughed.
---Time skip bought by "Fro thinks so too"
It was evening by the time you returned.50000 jewels should sustain you for a week. As you went out for a bite you bumped into Rogue.
"Oh, Hi [F/N]. Out to grab a bite?"
"Yes. I just got back from a mission. I'm beat"
"Then join Frosch and me. Besides there's something's I'd like to tell you." Now that got your attention. You followed Rogue...only because you wanted to know what he wanted to talk about not because Frosch was smiling at you all the way.
You both ordered dinner and was halfway through it Rogue started talking.
"[F/N], it seems like Rufus must have been a dear friend of yours for you to search him for this long."
"He was. In fact you could say he was the only person I could rely on during...I mean in the past."
Rogue shook his head in understanding.
"I thought as much. But what I wanted to tell is that Sabertooth is not a very...pleasant guild and I'm sure you understand what I mean."
You actually did. Although it's been only a day you could understand that this guild had no bonds of comradeship or friends for that matter. Everyone was for themselves and Master had an absolute power rule kind of policy.
You nodded your head in understanding.
"So I'm just hinting that if Rufus seems different don't be shocked. I mean he's fine on his own but in the guild just like everyone he is...different."
Wow. Rogue seemed like a quiet, mind-his-own-business kind of guy but he's pretty observant. You and Rogue finished your meal and split the bill.
"Thanks for talking Rogue. But hey, maybe all this guild needs is an eye-opener of some sort and I'm sure that's not far away."
He gave you a small smile and nodded his head.
"Good Night,[F/N]."
"Good Night, Rogue."
In your bed that night you could think of only one thing.
What if he doesn't remember? But reassured with another thought He's a memory make mage, no way he'll forget.
And you drifted off to land of dreams.
------
Next morning you were sitting in the guild hall talking with Yukino.
The doors opened and a long blonde with a feathery hat walked in. Rufus. There's no way you can forget that blonde hair and green eyes. Beside him was a huge muscular guy with green hair.
Rogue nodded at me from the other end of the hall.
"Hey, Rufus. You've got a visitor."Sting pointed at you.
You took your hood of and your long [H/C] braided hair fell down from its knot. Suddenly you felt anger consume you. You crossed your arms and asked Rufus, "Any memories triggered yet?"
Rufus cocked his head to one side and rubbed his chin, pretending to think and then said "I seem to have forgotten you, care to enlighten me?"
And then you lost it.
