Magical Heartstrings - Bleach X Fairy Tail Fanfic

Chapter 4 - Ex-Fairy Tail

Airi pov:

"Good morning, everyone!" Lucy greeted as we entered the Guild.

It was a noisy yet lively atmosphere in the Guild just as it had been yesterday. There were a lot of Guild Members, half of whose names I still don't remember. Besides that, I could see several other faces I hadn't seen yesterday.

"Good morning Lucy, Michelle and Love chan!" Natsu and Happy were the first people to greet us out of the lot. They were totally in sync as they yelled to us from all the way across the Guild.

I raised a brow as they got closer to us. They stopped in front of us grinning and Lucy sighed from beside me.

"You guys are so energetic this morning." She mumbled out rather tiredly.

Well, her being tired is sort of my fault. She stayed up late with me explaining rules of the Guild, the missions, the money and magic powers of some of the Guild members I would frequently meet. She also told me about the flying cats that were actually called Exceeds and came from a dimension other than this one. It was like a mirror image of this world and people in the place called Edolas had absolutely no maryoku.

"Of course we're energetic! We're going out on our mission tomorrow!!" Happy cheered as he floated in the air beside Natsu. That's right, we had to leave on a mission tomorrow to find information about some magic clock. Lucy for one, was pretty intelligent and would be able to figure out the locations of all the parts with the help of a book.

"I'm all fired up!" Natsu bumped his fists together getting a mad Cheshire grin on his lips.

I chuckled, bringing a fist to my lips. "I'm actually pretty excited myself. Going on an adventure with people who're energetic like you....its sounds real fun." I added and Natsu was immediately at my side with an arm flung casually over my shoulder.

"I have a feeling you're going to be super fun to be around, Love chan!" He grinned and I looked at him strangely.

"Love chan? Where did that nickname come from?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Airi chan is too long to pronounce! We thought about it a lot yesterday and decided that Love chan suits you better!" Happy said rather proudly.

"Her name is not long! Its just four letters like mine! So is the nickname, you stupid cat!!" Lucy scolded them from beside me.

"Na Lucy, why are you such a spoilt sport?" Natsu pouted as he let me go only to get another earful of yelling from Lucy. Man, I had gotten myself acquainted with some pretty strange people, hadn't I?

"Its okay Lucy. But Natsu, I'd prefer not to have the nickname Love chan....how about Ai chan? Its shorter and sounds nicer." I suggested. He and Happy watched me silently for a moment before grinning widely.

"Yosh!!! That's the perfect name for you, Ai chan!"

"Oi Natsu! Why don't we have some more introductions with the people who weren't here yesterday?" Alzack called out from one of the tables and I sent a wave to him in greeting. He smiled and waved back along with Bisca and their kid.

"Yeah yeah!! C'mon Ai chan! You have to meet some more people!" Natsu agreed taking my hand and dragging me to one side of the Guild.

As he stopped there, I saw a girl with long red hair, a skirt and wearing armor. She had a pretty stern look on her face and I smiled awkwardly as she watched me.

"Hmmm, you must be Love chan, the one Natsu saved the other day." She mumbled to herself as she brought a fist to her chin in thought. My brow twitched at the name she called me. How far had my nickname gone?
