ch 5


I yawned before taking another bite of some food and jewel sitting beside me. Mira stood across from me at the bar, watching us while she cleaned cups. We had started talking early this morning after Natsu had rudely woke me and jewel up with jewel cursing him out in the process.

 He told me that he'd send happy to get me after they talked to Lucy about a new job. After I had complained to Mira, she started to ask question about me , mostly my magic. I thought about explaining  How I could do what I do, but it was  earlier and much easier for me to just tell here. "I use ice and jew-" Jewel cuts me off. "I can use plant magic!" Jewel said. I rolled my eyes and take a bite of my toast.

" So you use ice magic like Gray does?" I looked over my shoulder to see Gray talking with some members. Kana was next to him laughing. They seemed to be having a good time. I focused on mira, deciding to not think about how could be over there.

" I guess, I can use ice make magic but i can do more than just that." I said. "I'm kind of like Natsu. Expect I'm  Ice and  he;s fire."

" So you're another Dragon slayer?"

" Yeah I'm a moon and ice dragon like I was raise by the moon Dragon Luna and the Ice dragon  samui" I replied staring at the table. "one day they just disappeared. I only went to town to get some food but they wasn't there when i got back."

" How old were you?" Mira asked. i kept my eyes on the table. I could feel the guild members eyes on me. They had all stopped talking when Mira said Dragon Slayer.

" I was only six years old and they just left, " I said quietly. Though I was sure everyone could hear me. I felt someone sit next to me and put their hand on my back. I kept myself from reacting and glanced to my right. I saw gray giving me a sympathetic look as if he understood my pain. I tried to keep myself clam I had been so sure that only other Dragon slayers could give me that look and mean it, but I could see history in his eyes.

" That must have been hard for you," Mira said resting her elbows on the bar. You were so young and you must have been scared."

" I was. thankfully there was a guild close by, I went there to ask them If they knew where Luna and samui might have gone,  But i didn't exactly get any answers That Guild is where i first met Jewel when she was an egg and where she learned plant magic.  i can use plant magic as well but not as good as jewel."

" So in a fight where she could not eat ice she can use plant." Jewel said.

" Momo!!  Jewel!!" I turned around and saw happy  flying towards us. Natsu and Lucy standing at the door. "Come on We got a job!" I nodded, forcing myself to seem cheerful.

" Right Bye Mira, Gray" I waved bye as I walked to the door jewel with jewel following. Gray seem to hesitate before I left as if he was going to say something or get up.

 "Hey  Momo , jewel? Are you two okay?" Happy asked, sitting on my shoulder. I sighed

" I am fine Happy." Jewel said with a small smile.

" Yeah I"m fine Maybe a bit tired but fine," I replied forced myself to smile at Natsu and Lucy when we got to the door.

" Hey Momo why was it so quiet in there?" Natsu asked as we walked away. I sighed getting tired of questions

" We'll explain later," Jewel said. " What's the job again?"

"We're supposed to burn a book That's in the Everlue mansion. He's looking for maids with blonde hair" Natsu explained. I glanced at Lucy. I cold understand why they would send her in there. she has amazing blonde hair.

" So she's going in by herself?" It wasn't very smart.

" No we're going to send you in too Momo," Happy replied. He had moved to Natsu 's shoulder as soon as we got outside and jewel took his place.

" I don't have blonde hair. My hair is Pure brown," i told him glancing at a strand. it was a pretty brown and it was very soft. My friend and Nozomi used to love playing with it.

" We could always dye it," Natsu said snapping me out of my thoughts.

" Look I"ll try but i doubt I"m going to get in there too, "I replied. we got into a carriage and natsu  and happy started giving  Lucy a hard time. "Lucy its simple."

" Are you enjoying your carriage ride today master? Is there anything I can get for you?" She asked. Natsu groaned in reply.

" I could really use a baft bag right about now," He said I sighed  and made a bag out of ice , handing it to him.

" Here Master, I said he took it immediately.

 " I'm playing the part master so I should be giving the orders" Happy said.

Jewel shook her head.

" Shut up you Stupid Feline," Lucy said angrily. she was clearly not enjoying this. Granted, I wasn't either, but it was normal for me.

" Lucy don't yell at the masters," Jewel  said Lucy groaned " Not you too.."

I smiled at least jewel can still joke with her. "Oh hey  natsu?" Lucy called out.

" What's up?" he asked clearly still feeling bad. I took the bag from him and threw it out the window letting the ice break.

" I  was wondering why you picked me to join you're team," she said. i was curious about this as well. Natsu had proclaimed  me as part of his team without any warning or asking me.

" Cause you seem like a nice person," Natsu said shocking Lucy. "But you're just so weird." pissing Lucy off.

" Anyway. I'm Totally stoked about my first real job," She continued. I made nastu sit down. "I know I'm going to rock it!"

" Really? I thought you were upset about it" Happy said. I ignored them jewel was in my lap sleeping but woke up as soon as we  made it in Shirotsume down. I thank the driver then follow the others.

" That's the last time I"m riding in one of those," Natsu said.

" You say that every time," Happy responded

" Man I'm staving" Natsu complained.

" Can't you eat your own fire?" Lucy asked. I can't eat my own ice to get energy. I just eat  to cool off.

" Oh yeah that's a great idea. Why don't you eat Plu or your cow while we're at it?" Natsu asked. Lucy looking shocked.

'Why is he being so salty?' jewel thinks

" Why would I do something like that?" She asked.

" It's kinda the same  thing," Natsu replied sounding annoyed.

" Even though he can eat  fire, Eating his own wouldn't be smart it doesn't do anything," I whispered to Lucy

" Whoa, let's stop and get a bite," Natsu said suddenly happy. pointing at a restaurant.

" Nah I'm alright but you guys  enjoy," Lucy said walking.

" What about you two?" Natsu asked. I had asked Lucy to get me a maid uniform when we were waiting for natsu to get in the carriage. so eating with an idiot and a blue cat wouldn't hurt plus jewel  wants  spend more time with happy.

" Sure We'll join," I said and jewel cheered. I watch Natsu and happy devour the food while  jewel got some fruit with fish. I got some fruit as well because I wasn't that hungry anyways.

" So can you explain why it was so quiet in the guild now?" natsu asked, shoving his face with food. I rolled my eyes.

"  you need to slow down," I replied. " Anyways it was quiet because Mira said Dragon Slayer. l'm assuming the guild likes knowing about that." He stopped eating and stared at me intently.

" Why would she be talking about Dragon slayer?" He asked. I sighed, knowing I wouldn't be able to avoid the truth for long.

" She wanted to know about my magic."

" You're a wizard like gray. simple enough."

 " I can use Ice make magic like him, But I'm not exactly like him. Ice isn't the only thing i can do. i use little plant magic too." He puts his utensils down. he seemed interested.

" so you can use two different types of magic? isn't that hard?"

" Not really," I replied nervously. I  looked down at the table hesitating to tell him. I kept my eyes on the refltection on the spoon of jewel  suddenly i felt a warm hand on my wrist.

" Momo, talk to me. If something's wrong you can tell me. I'm your friend." I looked up at him. his eyes were full of fire, but also seemed to be clouded with worry

"I am.. Dragon slayer," I said slowly and quietly. His face changed from to shock. " I am an moon and ice Dragon slayer."
