It's Complicated

Chapter 1: Meet the new fruitcake

A/N: Hello my dearies! This is my first Fairy Tail fanfic! :D Yey! Hihi so hope ya'll enjoy and don't forget to comment, follow and favorite okie? ;)

Urghh... grr... urggh.. My stomach starts to churn.

"Oi, Natsu! Are you sure you know the right way?" I called out to the hot head 'dragon-slayer' leading the group.

Natsu shot me a look then answered a very loud yes. Sheesh. I was just asking. I rolled my eyes at him and just shut up. Oh Great, now here comes Juvia offering me another bottle of water. "Gray-sama! Please have some water!" she said with her usual sweet voice. I gladly took it from her, hoping that it will somehow satisfy my hunger. Urrrgh... Nope. That didn't do the trick. I sighed heavily and helplessly rubbed my aching abdomen, trying to calm it down. We are definitely lost. I mean why did Erza even trusted that doofus with this? Natsu can't read a map and she expected him to have that compass as a guide? I sighed and continued to walk behind the group, both my hands rested on the back of my head. Basking in the warm sun sure felt quite nice for a change of pace. We were on our way back to Magnolia after a tiring three-day job as pests exterminators. Of all the C-rank jobs posted, Lucy just had to pick that one. We dressed up as cats for heaven's sake! Even came up with unbelievable tactics just to catch one measly mouse. And don't even get me started on Juvia. She wore those revealing outfits throughout the journey, even right at this very moment. It's kinda awkward seeing her in those clothes. I thought Juvia was more of the conservative type of gal. Guess I was wrong. Anyway, back to my story. We were sent out to catch a mouse in this HUGE mansion, got beaten up by a bunch of traps that we set up in the first place. Talk about backfire, literally. I think the upside of it all was the 50,000 jewels we received from the job. Yes, 50,000. I repeat. Those guys were really rich eh? Asking a Mage just to get rid of a single mouse, they sure got some nerve.

"Ack! A girl!" Lucy screamed, interrupting my daydreaming. Natsu quickly ran towards the unconscious girl lying on the ground, she was turned to her side facing a large rock. Of course, I didn't panic... though it's not normal to see people lying on the ground like this and... "H-happy! Stop poking her with that stick!" I heard Lucy shout at our feline companion. I sighed yet once again, my arms crossed. I walked towards the scene and crouched down beside the stranger. "Check her pulse." I ordered Lucy. "Hai!" the blonde obediently said. Juvia made herself useful by supporting the girl's head on her lap. "Her pulse seems normal." Lucy reported. I looked back at the girl lying in front of me; she was sorta pale but breathing harmoniously. I stared at her intently. She was wearing an over-sized long-sleeved white polo that complemented her black above the knee skirt, her long dark purple hair under a blue beret. Honestly, I think she wasn't all that bad to look at, she's kinda cute actually. ... I think she's about twelve? But that's just a matter of opinion. My observations were cut short when the girl began to move. "She's waking up!" Lucy exclaimed with glee. The girl squirmed in Juvia's arms then began to sit up, constantly rubbing her sleepy eyes. Wow. That is cute. She looks like a little kid waking up from a nap. Wait. Was she just sleeping?! Her eyes fluttered open then lazily squinted, probably adjusting her view of the situation she was in. She slowly turned to Juvia, the one who cradled her awhile ago. Then to Lucy, next to Natsu and Happy then... "Pervert." she suddenly blurted out pointing right at me. I arched an eyebrow, my arms still crossed. "Wha-t?!" I began with much fury. "Pervert. Pervert." she continued, her voice remained calm and sleepy. What the hell is wrong with this girl?!

"Baka!" Natsu shot from behind then smack me right in the face.

"Put on some clothes."

Sigh. Old habits die hard. I was once again on my stripping trance. Embarrassed, I grab my clothes from Juvia who was busy staring as if she was about to engulf me. Wha-? Hey don't get me wrong okay?! Not engulf like you know... That's just an expression and... boy, I'm really starting to sound perverted. So back to the crazy girl just lying unconscious five minutes ago. "What happened? We're you mauled? Attacked? Abandoned?" Lucy began filling the girl with questions. The girl sat there with her sleepy eyes, not answering.
