Lucy felt her eyes widen as she looked at the woman with long raven black hair, yet in her opinion it was ebony black like the night sky. Her sun kissed skin caused the pale white scars to almost shine against her skin. Yet what really caught her attention was how many of them she had. She had a single long scar on the right side of her face, a long jagged scar along her arm, several along her hips, as the girls grey crop top revealed her exposed midriff and a belly ring. She was almost positive the girl, no the woman had more but with the way the others had stood around her it was impossible to see.
Yet she felt a pair of eyes on her, only to see that the raven haired woman glanced at her once more before walking away with her own team. "Natsu..." her voice soft as she looked at him. "Yeah Luce?" The pink haired man asked as he looked at her. "Who...who was that?" He arched an eyebrow before he realized who she meant. "That, was Yukina Bēru. She's a heavens hell user, and kind of like you she uses incantations. Not that I've ever seen it."
Lucy felt her eyes widen, that magic was usually considered lost magic. "How...." "born with it, came to life as a child like the rest of us I suppose." Lucy shook her head. "No, how did she get all of her scars Natsu?" He stiffened slightly at that, he didn't want to relieve that day, he never wanted to relive that day. He still didn't even know how the group hadn't been broken up yet. Especially since they're destructive. "Not my story Luce. You wanna know you gotta ask her." Lucy shuddered, she didn't even think it would be possible to do that.
"I doubt I'll be able to get anywhere near her." Natsu raised an eyebrow waiting for her to continue. "What'd ya mean?" She shifted a bit. "I mean, she has Laxus, Evergreen and Freed around her. And she herself seems like a very hard person to approach." He sighed slightly. "She is, she's extremely hard to approach. But once you get to know her, she isn't that bad of a person." Lucy wondered what he meant by that, and why he phrased it the way he did. But she also knew he wouldn't give her any answers. "When's the best time to talk to her?" Natsu was silent for a moment as he thought about it. "Early in the morning either on her way to the guild, which might be hard as she's a bit further out, or as soon as she arrives at the guild. But you'll have to be fast."
Lucy blinked completely confused by that statement. "Why fast?" He groaned. "Because depending on how the others are or when they wake up, they always show up 10-30 minutes after she does. Your final chance is if she leaves before her group. Which may not happen for awhile. And before you ask it's because she's been gone for a year, on a solo Job. She's an S class mage." Lucy felt her eyes widen, she knew the rest of the Ranjishuu were S class but to hear this woman was as well, well it was terrifying. "R....right, I got it. Thanks Natsu." He nodded before he ran back over to where Gray and the others were fighting.
Shaking her head the blonde haired celestial mage looked up at the second floor only to feel her eyes widen as grey almost silver eyes clashed with honey brown. It was like those eyes could see everything, but before she could even blink the raven haired woman tilted her head to the side as a long arm curled its way around her shoulders. Lucy was able to catch a glimpse of the visor and knew it was Bickslow. "Come on, you need some more rest." Was all she managed to hear as the Two turned to sit back down. However those steel like eyes turned back to look at her once last time and Lucy couldn't hide the shiver that ran down her spine. All she could think is how she had to somehow corner this woman while she was alone, well no, not corner but find a way to talk to her...she just had to, she had nothing but questions and not enough answers.
Turning away from the balcony she just barely dodged a chair flying straight to her face. Shaking her head she stood up and went to help Mira at the bar, at least she would be spared from the fight that was quickly destroying tables and walls. With one final glance at the spot the raven haired woman at stood at she shook her head and went to help the take over mage out.
