Beast Tamer

Episode 3: Troublesome Flute

Shikako rolled her shoulders allowing some of the tension from the case to go away. It had been a week since the beginning of the trial and she was tired, the whole process was smooth but the council doesn't like Fairy Tail.

So they try everything to make the case invalid, which also meant trying to dig up her past, and old scars that she was trying to get over and move on from.

22 cases of slavery and distribution of drugs and 1 case of slavery and illegal use of charms. The smaller cases went by quick, at the end of her second day there each slaver had been sentenced to 15-20 years in prison.

Bora's case however took the rest of the week, first they called on one of Bora's old guild mates to try and make the blue haired man look innocent and trustworthy but because of the guild mates priors the council dismissed him as a witness.

Then it was her turn, they asked for every detail of the encounter and why she had been there. Until they were satisfied the council drilled her for everything going as far as asking if she was trustworthy.

But Shikako was saved by Yajima-san, he vouched for her also reminding the council of the time she worked for them on the side, as an ambassador for Fiore.

Because she was born and raised in Bosco, the Chief of Bosco allows her to come and go. Which also allows Fiore to establish a treaty.

Shikako sighed rubbing her nose as she watched the night sky go by from the train window. Bora had be sentenced to life in prison with no bail set.

The brunette perked up ever-so-slightly when the overhead speaker said thirty minutes to Clover. She grabbed her travel back bag and meticulously checked over her appearance, not taking any chances with the other guild masters.

She pulled her black finger-less gloves on tighter, and brushed off her dark blue long sleeve shirt. Her pants are black with the ends taped around her ankle for optimum speed, when she did have to run.

And the brunette's shoes are blue open-toed combat boots, open-toed mostly for ventilation. Shikako searched through the pockets on her dulled green flak jacket, making sure she had everything she needed.

She adjusted the dark gray forehead protector etched with the Fairy Tail symbol, she glanced at the window looking more at her reflection this time.

Nodding in satisfaction the mage settled back down and waited for the train to come to a stop.

Time Skip

Shikako came to stand outside a blue roofed bricked building where boisterous laughter was coming from, sighing but wasting no more time she walked in.

"Oh my~ If it isn't Shika-kun.~" Master Bob of Blue Pegasus sauntered over, it took everything in the brunette's body not to shudder.

"Yo, Master Bob." She waved at him as she passed him by walking over to the orange striped Makarov who was keeled over on top of the table with a crowd around him.

"Master, what's going on?" He peaked up at her from his downed form but quickly sat upright, he began to explain to her what happened as well as the damages from the battle against Eisenwald.

"Tch, your supposed to be Master. But the minute I leave for missions things go down hill." Irritation was beginning to show in Shikako's rough voice, as the Master of Fairy Tail shrunk into himself in shame.

"How troublesome. You said they are on their way here? So what's the plan for when they get here and have you all planed for when things really get dicey?" The Beast Tamer ran a hand down her face, with-holding a yawn.
