Memory

Chapter 2

Okay so basically this story is like flashbacks. So, when the text is in bold, that means that it's Sting or one of the others speaking as they're sitting on the ground, unless it's an authors note. Regular text is the flashbacks and all the memories.

"It all started when I met her, two years ago..."

"Hey Rogue, lets go on a job!" A young blonde haired dragon slayer yelps as he makes his way over to his twin.
"What job?"
"It's a guard job! There's this fancy party for those rich people and they need guards. It sounds like fun. Plus, if they're rich, they must pay well." he smirks.
"Fine. When do we leave?"
"Now."

*Somewhere else*

"Mai, lets go! You're going to be late!" A middle aged women hollers to her daughter.
"I'm coming mother." the young teen aged girl yells back as she finishes putting in her earrings. She turns around and looks in the mirror.
"You look amazing Ms. Mai." she turns around and sees her personal maid.
"Thank you. It's all thank to you Yuki." she smiles.
She's dressed in a fancy ball gown, her blonde hair up in a clip. She has her pearl earrings in and a pearl headband in.
She scurries out of her room and down the stairs.
"Well my dear, you look stunning." She looks down at the young brown haired man. He reaches out to touch her.
"Ugh, don't touch me Shinji." she brushes off his hand.
You see, Shinji and Mai are betrothed. But Mai doesn't like him.
"Awe don't be like that my dear." he says. She just ignores him and walks out the door, high heels clicking with each step she takes.
She climbs into the carriage and takes a seat.
"All set m'lady?" The chauffeur asks.
"All set!" She answers cheerfully. He smiles back at her.
"Alright then. Off we go." and they set off to the party.

"Alright, so what do we even have to do?" A certain shadow dragon slayers asks his blonde brother.
"Well, we help these people out of their carriages and then once they've all arrived, we just make sure nothing bad happens."
"So simple."
"Yeah. But hey, we get paid a lot." the blonde smirks.
They're standing out front of the huge mansion. Carriages start pulling up and they and a few others start opening doors and helping the rich out.
Both of the two well dressed men smile politely as they take the hands of the women, greeting them.
One carriage pulls up and Sting runs over to help the madam out. He opens the door and his breath is taken away as he gawks at a beautiful blonde haired maiden. She smiles brightly at him as he extends his hand and she places her elegant hand in his.
When she steps on to the ground, he bows down and brings her hand up to his lips, brushing them ever so softly against the back of her hand. He looks up as he brings his head up. She a slight blush spread across her face.
He stands up straight and offers his arm to the fair maiden. She gladly takes it and together they walk up to the huge doors.
Once there, she slides her arm out of his and gives him a soft smile.
"Thank you." she says and he bows down.
"The pleasure is all mine m'lady." he says seductively. She blushes as he starts back to help the others.
With his back facing towards her as he walks away, she smiles and tries to conceal her blush and calm her beating heart.
