Meigui pov

"So, you've altered our memories to remain undercover? How could you do that?" Gildarts exclaimed angrily. We had just finished revealing everything to them—our true identities and actions—and it's fair to say they were far from pleased.

"I know it's bad and you have every right to hate us, we have no excuse". Li said.

"Damn right we have every right to be pissed! You lied and manipulated us!". Cana retorted.

"That's why we've chosen to come clean about our true identities and return home. We don't feel worthy of being part of Fairytail after our actions-"

"Hold on there". Natsu interjected, stepping forward while Baihe Dong and the other two positioned themselves slightly ahead of us.

"Natsu?". Mira questioned confusedly.

"They admit what they did was wrong and even apologized, they explained why they did it... we should give them a second chance and with their true selves... we are family after all". He said as he eyed me.

"He wants us to stay here and give us a second chance, he's scum who can't keep one woman, he has many here". I said to him.

"They are not staying here, they are to return home". He said, I translated to them.

"He doesn't get a say, you bare the Fairytail mark, so you belong here". Natsu said.

"We have to remove the mark if we are to leave, I already called the master here and should almost be here to remove it, he was at a meeting". I informed him, he hummed.

"Let me see". He said, I showed him my hand where my mark was, he grabbed it and looked at it.

"What is this supposed to be?". He asked plainly, I chuckled.

"A type of Fairy, the first master is lovely, and I like her". I said, he did a nod before letting my hand go.

"So, Meigui is your real name?". Freed asked, he wasn't as mad, more interested.

"It's considered impolite to address someone by their first name; her name is Baihe Meigui. You should wait for her to offer you the privilege of using her first name." Juvia corrected; he hummed in understanding.

"Do you still have your swords?". Baihe Bing asked.

"Yes, they're back where I'm staying". I spoke.

"Baihe Meigui, we need to talk alone". Baihe Dong said, I nodded in understanding.

"They're going to speak in private, it's only a moment". Erza said.

"They can use the back room". Laxus said as he motioned to the back of the bar, he was next in charge when the master wasn't here.

"Come". He said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me away which angered Natsu. He closed the door and looked at me.

"Have you been using it?". He asked seriously.

"No-".

"Don't lie, Baihe Meigui". He said as he held my shoulders.

"I swear on my father that I haven't! I know better than to use without permission, I promise I haven't". I said, he stared into my eyes for a moment.

"Do you understand the consequences of your actions? Leaving like that suddenly with your sisters!-".

"I didn't expect them to follow me-".
