"No one else will ever know the strength of my love for you. After all, you're the only one who knows the sound of my heart from the inside." ~ Unknown.
"I suddenly have a new respect for Mirajane and Kinana," Niko said as the team tiredly walked back to the guild "don't forget Lisanna" Tsukime carrying the barrels of alcohol they were given as a thank you in her water lock "yeah me too" the two boys agreed to see the guild insight they were happy instantly running towards it.
"I asked where is Tsukime?!" Miya yelled getting frustrated all she wanted was to get rid of the thorns in her side since the master had requested for Tsukime to be brought back alive and the other two to be eliminated "hey! who do you think you are marching in here?!" Star Dragneel despite the three Dreyar's warnings walked up to the brunette scoffed at the teenage girl "you're not worth my energy" the only reason Miya had stayed with the shadow knights was because of her hatred toward the water mage someone who'd always gotten the spotlight often being referred to as the light even in her teenage days despite Miya being the older one the glory was always stolen by Tsukime.
Star placed a hand on her keys ready to attack the brunette who gritted her teeth but before anyone could react a barrel full of alcohol came crashing down on the brunette "oh score!" Niko's voice said, "you know I'm starting to doubt if she's really a water mage?" Luca leaned in toward the pinkette "I'm starting to have my own doubts too man" Igneel said eyeing the bluenette who safely transported over the remaining barrels still in her water lock to Mirajane.
The guild's attention turned to a very displeased water mage "what the fuck are you doing here?" the other three decided to stay out of this one making a beeline for the celestial mage instead "the light doesn't stray too far from the fairy I see" Miya smirked finally she was going to get rid of the biggest obstacle in her path to become the greatest mage to ever exist "hey! I got here first so-" "who died and made you queen?" Tsukime turned her head just in time to dodge a punch "this is so much like you to do underhanded stuff like this unfortunately for you I'm not like you" Tsukime may be trained in the well-versed ways of magic but there was a reason for her being an undefeated S-class mage Aqua the woman of the sea grabbing the brunette's arm she stood to her full height.
"You should know by now not to mess with anyone dear to me unless you'd like to be introduced to Aqua" Miya hissed her hand burning in the lightning dragon slayer's grip before she got out of her grip before pulled out three cards with kanji "Nine-tails fox!" a magic circle appeared with a nine-tails fox appearing rolling her eyes conjuring up a small water bubble with lightning inside earning the attention of the spirit "you want it girl? here go get it" with a flick of her wrist the small ball was flung towards Team Natsu's table the fox spirit following after "no! you're not supposed to run after a water ball like a mindless dog!" Miya scowled now regretting letting the bluenette play with the spirit so much that she knew her way around the fox spirit now one of the brunette's most powerful kanji spirits.
"Screw it!" Miya got her hand ready in fists moving to punch the bluenette.

Tsukime held Miya down in that position moving one of her legs so she was pinning her down with it putting enough pressure to not kill the girl "this isn't for taking away my best friend nor is it for my brother" the woman stared at each other the later with the intensity of a ferocious beast "but this for attempting to kill my friends and I'd be damned if I let you get away with it" Luca and Maya (Niko) were touched, to say the least, that despite everything Tsukime still trusted them.
A few minutes later Mest Gryder walked into arrest the brunette Tsukime getting off the girl releasing a sigh once the ravenette left before turning her attention to the surprised blonde "you don't get involved yourself in things that don't concern you" Star stared at the older woman "Maya could've hurt you she's an S-class mage not as elite as me, Luca or Niko but strong enough to do serious damage to an unskilled under qualified child like you" Lucy and Natsu walked well the latter stomped up to the bluenette "hey are you calling my daughter weak?" Natsu asked as the water mage pinched the bridge of her nose "look Star may seem strong to you but those beasts Miya owns would've finished the whole battle off before you could blink and your darling little princess would've been left with death knocking at her door" the true horror of the situation was finally revealed to the whole guild "and your dumb princess was just about to get a taste of one of Shadow knights S-class mages power and that isn't even their most elite holds" Tsukime ignored the pain emitting from her stomach "what I'm saying is refrain from picking fights with mages who come looking for me because that is my business and mine only you're not half near my level talk less of shadow knight members" tears sprung to Stars eyes at the harsh reality of her situation of being so weak compared to someone who'd come to the guild after her clutching her mothers dress she sobbed loudly into her bosom.
Tsukime on the other hand faced her friends who shared a look with her sighing the cats already out of the bag might as well she glanced down at her hand before looking up to meet Laxus' gaze her eyes softening both of them knowing it can't be helped anymore "uh... did you say Aqua?" Gale asked being her self proclaimed older brother even he didn't know about her infamous title "the infamous woman of the sea" Tsukime started off raising her hand "the undefeated S-class member of the Shadow knights..."

Magic particles appeared removing the cover up over the insignia to reveal the very dark guild which had been terrorizing many for years the very symbol of the dark guild appearing on the infamous girl's hand "Aqua is me" silence utter silence "this is and this alone is the only reason I'm not an official mage of a light guild even if I wanted I wouldn't be able to join for the sole reason I'm still counted as a Rogue" the truth was finally laid bare in front of them their masters beloved daughter was a Rogue "even though it's been years since I left however I'm still a member of according to my insignia" she was part of the guild she wanted nothing to do with anymore "once you join you can't leave no matter how hard you try because the shadows will always follow wherever" Tsukime took in a shaky breathe "they target you until either the person caves in from the fear of the shadows or until there's you're nothing but a body without a soul" that was the whole truth about the hell every member faced everyday and that was possibly the nicest way she could tell anyone about the hellhole they were in.
The guild doors burst open "I'm here!" Erza shook her head at her son he'd become so lovesick heck she didn't even know her son was capable of being this hopelessly in love with someone but I guess life is full of surprises before the redhead gasped rushing over to his girlfriend "Rei please stop you're making a scene" Tsukime sweat dropped "damn Tsuk what did you do to make him so lovesick?" Luca asked as the redhead placed his head on her stomach "I don't know myself" she sweatdropped as he began talking to their baby who wasn't there "uh... Reiki I don't think she's actually pregnant" Igneel said earning the redhead's attention "please stop your embarrassing yourself" Laxus shook his head "I don't think he'd mind putting-ah!" a scowling Luca stood over the auburn-haired girl "don't say stuff like that there are kids here!" needless to say the couple was asked about the whole baby thing by Mirajane Justine and Makarov Dreyar which left them with red faces.
All four mages suddenly turned toward the barmaid saluting her after having to wait on tables and carry god knows how many barrels of alcohol the team had earned a new sense of respect for the two barmaids the guild members all but forgetting about the earlier revelation laughing at the four adults who asked them to take them under their wing.
