Star-Crossed in Parallel Lines

Oración Seis Arc

Our team took a job out at Hargeon. A new restaurant named 8island. I was taking orders from tables as I began noticing that most of them were men. With a warm smile, I ask if they wanted dessert and I see a tint of blush on their cheeks as I giggled. I feel a hand clutch onto my shoulder with a dark aura, knowing it was Gray.

I thank the customers before walking off. I shrug off Gray, pouting that it's part of the job to be nice to the customers and that he was over reacting for no reason. We both look over at Erza who was too into the job as I considered copying her to attract more customers. I joked with Gray as he vigorously rejected the idea.

After the job was done, we met up outside as I was still eating a dish from the restaurant. Natsu was already full, he's all talk. I was enjoying my meal as Shadow questioned Erza's outfit as I laughed, knowing she was too into the job.

Yajima speaks of the council, apologizing for the grief that was bestowed onto us. Erza mentions that he was one of the people to oppose firing etherion so we were really grateful for his choice. It seemed so that they will be establishing a new magic council so Yajima strictly reminded Gray and Natsu to be on their best behaviour as he won't be able to defend Fairy tail anymore. They both sweat and nod aggressively.

He suddenly turns towards me and stared at me deeply. He asks if it was true that I was dating Gray and I blushed. I looked towards him as he smiled, I nodded to the question and laughed awkwardly. Yajima chuckles and warns Gray that he'll need to keep an eye on me as there were many men looking at me as I serving. Gray's mouth gapes open as the group laughs together.

The ride home was full of complaining and laughs as I reassured Gray that he has nothing to worry about.

Back at the guild, we arrive to see that Reed has drawn a diagram of all the dark guilds associating with the Baram Alliance. Remembering all the dark guilds we bumped into, it seems that all of them were working for Oración Seis.

Gramps comes in and tells the guild that we will be attacking Oración Seis with the help of 3 other guilds. Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus and Caitshelter. I was pumped about the news, to be able to kick butt if I was chosen to go. Gramps has chosen the strongest team in Fairy tail so the 5 of us were sent to go and fight.

On the ride there, I get jittery as I was excited to meet new people. Lucy tries to calm me down but I was stoked. Gray sighs and pulls me into a position where I was sitting in front of him as my back hit his front. I hushed up pretty quickly as the entire gang laughs, except Natsu who's groaning in pain. Erza comments how it'll be better to form stronger ties with the other guilds as Happy tells us that we're here.

We walk into the building as the lights were turned off. We meet up with the Hibiki, Ren and Eve. They shower us with an interesting welcome as they try to flirt with Lucy and Erza. As Hibiki was about to come up to me, Gray was already there with an arm sling around my shoulder with a dark demeanour. He backs off as he remembers that both of us are already a couple, such a gentleman.

Suddenly Ichiya shows up and slides down from the stairs. I start to tremble a bit from his presence as he eyed Erza, Lucy and I. Gray hisses as Ichiya bows to show respect that he doesn't have any intention to break us apart. I snort as I knew Gray was jealous for no reason at all.

Erza punches Ichiya as he tries to smell her and pushes him towards the entrance where Lyon encases his head in ice. Gray let's go of me as he sees Lyon. Gray stares daggers at him as I tried to keep my composure. The entire building builds a tension as Jura stomps in to break it. He reminds us that we all need to work together and says that we are needing one more guild to show up, Caitshelter.

Apparently there was only one member a part of the guild, which confused me because guilds are usually more than one person. As we waited a couple seconds, we hear a yelp from the entrance. I look towards the girl as my eyes widen, it was Wendy, the girl I spent time with Jellal back then.
