Fairy Tail's Demon God

Chapter 3: Lullaby

Natsu, Happy, Gray, and Lucy were at the station waiting for Erza and Ryuga. Natsu and Gray were bickering as usual, and Lucy was trying to tune them out. Erza quickly appeared and bumped Gray's and Natsu's heads together, effectively ending their argument. She turned to Lucy, since she didn't know her.

Erza: "You're the new recruit right?"

Lucy: "Y-Yes ma'am."

Erza: "I heard you defeated a gorilla with your pinky finger. Glad to have someone like you on this mission."

Lucy: "R-Right."

Light footsteps and a yawn were heard, when the team looked over their shoulders to see Ryuga waving at him. He only carried a small bag over his back, likely filled with food. He walked up and greeted everyone, and stopped once he got to Lucy.

Ryuga: "You're coming too?"

Lucy: "That's right sir!"

Natsu: "Trust me, she's super strong."

Ryuga looked over at Erza, who just gave a shrug, so he also shrugged and sat down to wait. A few minutes went by, and Ryuga was almost falling asleep, since he barely got any sleep. Cana was up all night drinking and yelling with Makarov. The train sounded, and they all got on and found seats. Ryuga sat to the left of Erza and Gray, and Lucy sat across from them with Natsu.

As soon as the train started moving, Natsu became sick. Seeing this, Ryuga used a sleeping spell on Natsu, getting a thumbs up from Lucy, who had Natsu almost throw up on her. 

Gray: "So what exactly are we here for again?"

Erza: "The dark guild, Eisenwald, has a flute named Lullaby. The flute is actually a demon, and whoever hears it's sound, except the user, dies."

Lucy: "M-Maybe I should have stayed in Magnolia."

Gray: "Relax, we'll be fine. I think at least."

Erza: "Yes, we'll be fine. Right Ryuga?"

She looked to the left of her to seem him fast asleep, leaning on the window. She grabbed his head and, with a slight blush, placed it on her lap. 

Lucy: "So what type of magic can you do, Erza?"

Happy: "Her magic is really beautiful. It makes people really bloody."

Lucy: "S-Sounds pleasant."

Erza: "If we're being honest, I think Gray's magic is a lot more beautiful then mine."

Gray: "Oh this?"

He clasped his hands together, and when he let go, the Fairy Tail guild mark was ice, and floating around.

Lucy: "Cool! What kind of magic can Ryuga do?"

Erza and Gray looked at each other and laughed a little. Lucy looked confused, and Erza answered.

Erza: "We don't really know the full extent of his magic."

Lucy: "Really? So mysterious."

Gray: "Well I think we all thought Ryuga was mysterious when we first met him. I mean the guy's hundreds of years old, but he still looks the same as the first day I met him."

Lucy: "So he ages slower then us?"

Erza: "A lot slower." She then took on a sad look. "I once overheard him talking to Lisanna. He was telling her that it's really hard to be friends with people, since he knows he'll outlive them and eventually have to watch them die."
