Ch.4

They'd been traveling for about 6 hours and nobody had said a word. Normally Gin would have no problem with this however every couple minutes he would notice someone staring at him suspiciously as if he didn't notice. By the time they had made it into town and had bought tickets for the train Gin couldn't help himself anymore. Once they all boarded the train he decided to break the silence.

"So tell me. What kind of organization are you all apart of? All of you bare the same mark and you've mentioned a person you all consider your master so Im a bit interested." He asked trying his best not to scare them any further. As much as he loved terrifying people, he knew it wouldn't get him any answers.

The blue-haired girl was the first to speak albeit reluctantly. "We're all members of the Fairy Tail mages guild." She said clearly still shaken.

"Y'all don't have to be so scared of me. I promise I don't bite." I said with my usual grin. While most of them did seem to relax slightly at this I notice the redhead was still as tense as ever. "So how about we introduce ourselves. As I said before my name is Gin. What are yall's names."

Again the blue-haired girl answered. "My name is Levy McGarden and this is my team Jet and Droy. And this is Erza." She said pointing to each person as she listed them off. "Um if you don't mind me asking. You said you were from another country. Where exactly are you from."

"Ahh, that's a good question. Unfortunately like most good questions, I can't answer it." She looked down at the floor in response obviously disappointed by his answer. Erza, however, seemed to be slightly annoyed by this.

"Alright how about this. How was a single kid able to take out 8 grown men 2 of which were known dark mages." She asked rather harshly.

Gin's grin grew at this. "It was simple really. They were weak and I was strong. Honestly, I don't understand why your so hung up on the whole thing."

"You killed those men in cold blood." She almost yelled.

"Tell me something. What do you believe they would have done to me if I hadn't done what I did. They would have killed me. How many people between them do you think they've killed or hurt in their lives. Do you really believe that they deserved to live for even a moment longer." He asked truly interested in her response.

"That is not for us to decide. Nobody has the right to take the life of another no matter who they are." She growled at him.

"Well, there's no point in arguing the point now. The die has been cast and now we must live with it." He said leaning back in his seat. "Now if you don't mind I'm going to catch some Zs. Wake me when we arrive."

4 hours later

After exiting the train they made their way threw the town all the while Gin was taking in as much information about his surrounding as possible. The building all seemed to be more of a western-style as dose the apparent fashion. He notices up ahead of them was a large colorful building that stood out from all the rest. Above the front door was a wooden sign that read 'Fairy Tail'.

Gin whistled. "Nice place. Can't wait to see the inside." He said with a grin.

"I'll be watching you the whole time we are here. If you try anything-"

"You'll what, kill me? Didn't you say that nobody had the right to do that." Gin said amusingly cutting her off.

Before she could reply Gin had all-ready-made his way to the door and had pushed it open. On the inside, he saw a scene that reminded him of a lot of squad 11. Two kids were fighting on the floor one with pink hair the other half-naked. Everybody was drinking and laughing. Honestly, he half expected to see Zaraki come out of nowhere and start challenging people to fights. However, what really caught his attention was the pressure he was feeling. There were two people here with power levels near the equivalent of a captain.

"Let's go." He heard coming from Erza who was now next to him. As she entered the guild he notices almost immediately people start quieting down and moving out of her way. "Master we need to speak." She stated to the incredibly short man sitting on the bar.

"Ah, Erza I didn't think you'd all be back so soon. And who's this you brought with you." He said eyeing the young man with silver hair and black clothing. Something about the boy seemed a bit off. Whether it was his wide grin or the dark feeling aura coming off of him he wasn't sure.

"That's what I'd like to talk to you about."

"Excuse me." Gin said cutting in. "I do believe we agreed that once we were in the presence of your master you would return my blade."

"Your crazy if you think Im going to give you back your weapon while we're in the guild." She said harshly.

Gin's grin faltered ever so slightly. "Well, that is unfortunate." He turned to the old man. "Tell me sir does this guild support theft? I must say this is quite a questionable set up you have here if so."

"Erza if you have something that belongs to this boy then return it." He said as if he was talking to a child.

"But master this kid murdered 8 people in cold blood." After saying this the whole place went silent. Everybody was looking at the accused.

"These are serious accusations. Not something we need to discuss in front of everyone else. Follow me to my office. Gildarts you come to." He called an orange-haired man on the other side of the bar.

They all entered the old man's office. The master sat on top of his desk while Gin chose to sit in one of the chairs offered. Erza leaned against the door while Gildarts just stood behind the master.

"Okay so tell me what exactly happened."

Gin smiled at this. "Well, it all started when I woke up on the forest floor."

10 minutes later

"And that's how we all ended here." He said taking a breath.

"Well, that certainly is an experience. While I don't agree with your actions in taking the life of those men I do understand why you felt the need."

"Master!" Erza yelled in outrage. "How can you say that."

"Erza please try and look at it from his side." Makarov was very aware that the boy held no remorse for his deeds. However, he could tell there was something special about him at the same time. "Gin. Tell me what are your plans once you leave here?"

"Honestly if I don't end up leaving in a chain then I don't really have any other than learning about this place."

"What would you say to make a deal with me." He said deeply. "I'll explain what happened at the church to the Magic Council and do my best to get you off the hook and in return, you join my guild." He said shocking everyone in the room including Gin.

"Master you can't really be offering him a place here after what he did," Erza said becoming angrier every second.

"Erza I can't just leave the boy to fend for himself in a completely foreign land. He needs our help." She looked defeated at this.

Gin started chuckling. "Master Makarov I accept your offer."

"Alright head downstairs with Erza. I need to speak with Gildarts here for a moment." And with that, the two children left.

"So what do you think of the boy." He said Grimly.

"He's definitely not normal. He has a lot of power for such a young man that's for sure. From what I could tell he could probably go toe to toe with Laxus." The taller man stated. "We need to keep an eye on him if he's gonna be staying around."

"Don't worry I'll be watching him closely."

"Well, at least things are going to be interesting around here." He said with a laugh

"That they are. That they are."
