I completely disagree on marrying Bacchus! He is like 17 and he dates my friend Cana Alberona! AND PLUS! They are meant for each other because they drink ice tea pretending it was booze! I cant marry my friend's boyfriend!

"Dear, you have to marry him!" My mom said

I clenched my hands into a fist, "BUT YOU CANT FORCE ME TO DO THIS MOM! Besides! Im just adopted!"

"Adopted!? Your sister is too young to get married! You getting married to Bacchus would save our company!" Dad argued

"But dad! Bacchus Arionos is dating Cana Alberona!" I argued

Mom rolled his eyes, "dating or not! You still have to marry him!"

"The Lockers, The Heartfilias, The Alberonas, The Arionos, The Strausses, The McGardens and of course us, The Kiryuu, are having a ball tonight!" Mom said leaving the rooms. Dad and Mom shot me a MARRY HIM look.

I run to my room and burried my face into the pillow. I cried silently.

So this is what Lucy, Juvia and Levy feels... I cant do this to Cana...

I was crying and heard a noise.

CLING!

It was my bracelet. I touched it and caressed it. It was still pretty. It reminded me of Jellal... I wonder how he is with the others now... Did he get adopted... Is he okay... Does he still remember me... Does he miss me...

My door creaked open, "Sis? You crying?"

"Aiko?" I ask

She walked towards me and sat beside me. She had a worried look on her face, "why are you crying...?"

"Mom and Dad wants me to marry Bacchus... I dont want to..." I replied. She patted my head, "big sis... You know that I saw Mira crying too along with Juvia, Lucy and Levy?"

"Huh?" I ask

"Nevermind" she shrugged it off. What was that all about?

Later At Night In The Ball...

I was chatting with Lucy, Levy, Juvia, Cana and Mira. I talked to Cana and the others about the family problems. Seems to me all of us did have family problems about marriage. Levy dragged us to her hideout in her mansion, we were having the ball in her mansion anyways.

"You guys! I think I have a plan!" She said

Lucy looked confused, "what plan?"

"Well since Cana's dad uncle Gildarts isnt that strict like our parents we could barrow his van!" Levy said happily

Mira was still at the corner, she was sad all night long but her face lit up, "I THINK I KNOW WHERE WE CAN GO!'"

"Where...?" I ask

"To my boyfriend Laxus of course. He has some nice nice nice friends" she replied

Ah yes, Mirajane has a boyfriend but her parents are against it. They met in a town called Magnolia, Mira really loved it there.

Cana stood up, "but I was planning to go to my mom!"

Cana's parents live separate from each other, her parents arent divorce and they still love each other. I still dont get why they arent living together. "My dad wants to be with my mom now..."

"Well... I guess we would have separate stuff... I could text Laxus to pick us up!" Mira said

All of us nodded. Mira was on her phone, "he'll pick us up 3 in the morning"

We told our parents that we would have a sleep over at Mira's place. We decided to wait under the stars, in our surprise her parents didnt have a problem with it. Mira was also excited to see her brother, Elfman, and sister, Lisanna, they were studying in Magnolia. She was visiting her siblings when she met Laxus.

We were all pack and ready. Levy, Juvia and Lucy were nodding in determination... There were the same as me... Against arranged marriages. Mira here is fighting with Laxus for their love.

Mira smiled as she saw Laxus. She quickly motioned us to go to the van. Mira sat beside Laxus and the 4 of us sat behind.

Mira and Laxus smiled at each other and kissed for a few seconds. Juvia looks happy for them but Lucy and Levy were acting like they were gagging. As for me, I just stared outside.

We were traveling for an hour now. Suddenly Mira spoke up, "I forgot to introduce you guys to Laxus!"

"Hi Juvia is Juvia!" Juvia greeted

"Im Levy!"

"Lucy is me"

"Im Erza..." I said absentmindedly

Laxus smiled at us while his eyes were on the road, "Im Laxus... Ive heard alot of stories about you from Mira"

The music Night Changes was playing in the radio. The cover is by the boy band The Boyz. The are famous but I have no interest in them, I dont even know what they look like or name. I only know the Gajeel guy.

Laxus had those eyes like about to kill. But when he smiles, he seems like a good guy. I definitely give him a thumbs up for Mira.

An hour later, Mira was playing flappy bird on her phone, Levy and Lucy were asleep and Juvia was listening to music. Suddenly, someone called Mira.

"Who is it?" Laxus asks

Mira sighed, "Natsu"

"Answer it then" Laxus ordered Mira. She nodded and answered it, "hello?"

"Mira! I heard from Lisanna that your going here!" The guy named Natsu said

"Yeah... Im actually running away to there with some friends..." Mira said shyly

I heard some shouts, "MIRA-NII!? You running away!? Are you sure!?"

It was familiar. I was pretty sure that was Lisanna. "RUNNING AWAY IS MANLY!" A man shouts... That was Elfman.

"Who are the friends?" Lisanna asks

"Juvia, Levy, Lucy and Erza. Cana is also running away but in a different place with Bacchus" Mira explained

I heard Lisanna gulp, "goodluck Mira-nii... See you in a few hours! I need to sleep now... Were having a sleep over"

I looked at my tatoo. Jellal... Where are you...

I tapped Mira in the back, "Can we stop over that 7-Eleven?"

"Sure"

Laxus parked at the parking lot and I pretended to go buy some food. I actually went to the restroom and went in a cubicle with a window. I got out of the window and got a bus.

Sorry you guys... I wanna find Jellal... This was a sudden... But change plans for me...

10 minutes later, I was sure that I was far away... From them. I grabbed my phone in my bag. Of course I brought it with me, duh. I messaged Mira, Juvia, Lucy and Levy in the group chat.

Erza: um... Are you guys looking for me?

Mirajane: OMG! YES!

Juvia: Erza! Juvia was worried!

Lucy: ERZA WHERE DID YOU GO!?!?!?!

Levy: GOD! Where are you!?

I sighed while looking at my phone.

Erza: go on without me... Im gonna look for someone... Dont worry, Ill be fine.

Mirajane: if you say so...

Lucy: goodluck on your journey Erza...😄

Levy: yeah! Goodluck... I hope we can see you soon!

Juvia: Erza! Juvia wants to say goodluck and goodbye too!

Mirajane: bye Erz... Laxus said bye too!

That was the last messages I got from them. I hope they would be safe in their journey too. Now to find Jellal.

Where are you... Idiot...

Hours later, I was in the town of Clover. Hours and hours away from my city... Crocus. Its neighboring towns was Hargeon and Magnolia. I was walking around.

Maybe I could start a life here or still run away. This was very far from Crocus. It was already 12 o'clock. I was walking around and stopped by a cafe. I decided to buy some strawberry milk shake. I actually loved it.

There was free wifi in the cafe, like the bus, so I decided to call Mira and the others to tell them I am safe.

"ERZA!" Mira exclaims

I smiled, "Hey, Im in a cafe. Still safe"

"Ah! Thats good to here Erz!" Mira said happily

"Hows Lucy and the others?" I ask

"Their sleeping" Mira laughed

Suddenly voices came, "whos this Erza"

It was a man's voice. Sorta deep. Mira laughed, "Gray, its just my friend"

"She sounds anti-sociable is she that weak?" This Gray guy asks

I can feel that he is one of those boys who likes to challenge people. Mira gave him a tch, "Erza here is a professional at fencing, boxing and any type of self defense using weapons. She can easily beat you up"

"W-what!? She's pretty strong! Even with my MUE!?" He asked

Mira replied, "yep!"

"MUE...?" I ask

Mira sighed, "Erza, did you already forget that in Magnolia one of the schools provide Magic User Equipment a.k.a MUE?"

This world has discovered magical use. They arent from the person but they came from the equipment. They were only used in this magical school called Fairy Tail Academy. Mira told us that Lisanna and Elfman studies in that school, so does Laxus. Theres also other schools in Magnolia and its neighboring towns that uses MUE too.

The funny thing about that school is the girls have their own dormitory called Fairy Hills while the boys just rent their own places in the town, ha-ha.

"Thanks for reminding me Mira" I smiled

"Yeah no prob!"

"So your in Fairy Tail Academy?" I ask

"Sorry Erz, I cant under- your -ying its chappy Er-" Mira said

Disconnected

I sighed, at least they are happy. Goodluck about their parents. As for me, I left the cafe and roamed around. It was a pretty town anyways...

At night time, I was still roaming around. Shops were closing and people were heading home or now sleeping. It started raining and I only have my backpack, phone and sweater. I put my hoodie.

I turned around and saw a group of men following me. I walked faster and faster by the minute. Even though I take a turn they would still follow me. I thought at first that they were walking at the same street as me. I was wrong. I started running as fast as I can.

I reached a dead end and I was cornered. The man who seems to be their boss spoke up, "we found beauty that we could torture! Bring her to the van!"

I cant be captured... Again...

I put my hands into a fist and attempted to punch their boss's ugly face. But, one of his men grabbed my wrists.

"LET ME GO IDIOTS!" I shouted

Their boss smirked, "we aint letting you go till you die red-head!"

"LET ME G-"

"Excuse me but what are you gonna do to this lady" He was a man about my age. I cant see his face because of the lighting.

"Get outta here!" The boss exclaims

"Damn... I am not leaving till you let go of her..." The man said

The boss growled, "I AINT GIVING HER TO YOU!"

The man slowly walked towards me and punched the man, whos holding my wrists, in the face. The man wore a mask. A mask? Then later did I know, he carried me bridal style and shouted, "METEOR!"

A MUE user!?

It was so fast. I saw the bad guys getting tinier each second. We landed infront of a hotel and the man looked at me, "where do you live?"

I scratched the back of my head and said, "I run away..."

He suddenly scratched his head too. He probably is thinking on what to do with me. He looked at the hotel infront of us and went strait in the doors. He motioned me to come in.

He went strait to the elevator and I follow him. He must be staying here.

Why is he so kind... To a run away stranger like me?

He showed me his hotel room and said, "sorry if theres only one bed. Ill be sleeping on the couch"

I looked at him, he has a hoodie on and a handkerchief that served as his mask that covers his mouth. There was something about his eye that looked familiar too.

"Why did you run away?" He asks while removing his hood

He has blue hair... I went back to reality. He was still wearing his mask but I can tell that he was very curious why did I run away. Stranger danger but I think he wants to help.

"Well..." I started

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

AN: Hi minna! Its Cherushi here ^~^ I suggest you read my OTHER fanfics too! I got the idea of the Magic User Equipment or MUE from the anime The Irregular At The Magic High School... I think thats the name... Its pretty cool though XD I discovered that anime when I was listening to anime songs.

I was listening to Daze which is the opening of Mekaku City Actors by MARiA and Jin. Then I wanna hear the song Masayume Chasing by BoA (Best of Asia) its pretty cool then I started to listen to the song Liar Mask... I forgot who was the singer though... Sowwy! Then I listened to Madoka Magica soundtrack two of them was Connect and Magia. Then! I started to listen to SAO (Sword Art Online) songs! Then I saw Rising Hope... IT WAS THE OPENING OF THE IRREGULAR AT THE MAGIC HIGH SCHOOL!

So um yeah...
