Airi pov:

I was silent, my eyes downcast as I walked behind Lahar san and Doranbolt san. Even though I was being totally optimistic as we left the prisonhold, that positive air around me was slowly starting to disappear.

We had been walking for about ten minutes now. Hanataro and I were following our escorts along with five guards through the corridors of the Magic Council. We had been receiving stares and whispers from the others who worked here. I doubt they knew why we were being escorted because Lahar san had strictly told me that my case was highly confidential. No one besides the Guild members I had spoken to, the Ten Saints and these two Council members knew about me.

They didn't want any of this go go public because it could cause trouble not only to the Council but to Fairy Tail too.

It was good that they weren't spreading news unnecessarily. But having the strongest people of the Council knowing was trouble enough for me. I was actually pretty nervous about what they would ask me.

I'm sure they weren't going to ask any questions that would be difficult to answer; it's not like I had hid anything from Lahar san and Doranbolt san when they literally scanned trhough my memories. I also guessed that my memories had been shown to them too so they would know what kind of person they were dealing with.

The only thing I was worried about was what they would decide in the end. I didn't want to be locked away because of being considered as a threat. I wasn't a threat because everything that I had done until now was to protect Fairy Tail and protect this world. Surely they understood that, right? I mean, after the incident with Oracion Seis, the dragons and every other small mission I had taken care of, anyone could be able to tell that I hadn't done anything that had caused any harm.

Well, it would be easy for me to break out if I really did get locked up but I didn't want to live my life hiding like some criminal. Until the time I went back to my home and family in Karakura Town, I wanted to be with Fairy Tail and enjoy life here. I could use the time to help these guys some more and find out how to create a Senkaimon that could get me home.

Besides that, there was another matter that I had to think about. Sting.

My face got warm in embarrassment. What Sting had done in front of everyone was still clear in my memory. I can't believe he actually had the courage to just confess and kiss me in front of my Guild members, in front of Rogue and his Exceeds and even in front of the Council!

I'm pretty sure that if Ichi nii was there at that moment, he would have blown his top and punched Sting square in the jaw. He was always very protective of me and when it came to any guy I could possibly date, he would literally interview him to see if he was fit for me. I think two or three of the guys got freaked out by Ichi nii's scrutinizing glare and wanted to have nothing to do with me. It's funny and warm when I remember those incidents....Ichi nii was probably the best brother I could ever ask for.

He always wanted me to be happy.

I bit my lips as I remembered the kiss I had received from Sting. It was the first kiss that I had received that actually made me feel something. I could almost still feel the pressure on my lips even now. It was....warm. His lips were soft, the kiss gentle. I could feel his emotions pour into me through that light contact of our lips.

Despite being someone who had thought of himself as undefeatable, as a member from the best Guild in Fiore, he was oddly childlike. Seeing the true side of him after the fight with the dragons, I could tell that deep down he was actually just a lonely person who wanted attention. And now he seeked that attention from me. He had said that he and Rogue never had someone who cared for them and he loved me because of my unbiased compassion for those around me.
