Kali started walking towards a certain girl with long white hair, she's also the model for Fairy Tail.

"Mira, it's been a while hasn't it?"

"It sure has been Kali, I was wondering when you were going to come back from your long missions," said Mira.

"Ah, I apologize for taking too long. Perhaps I shouldn't have taken on too many missions. Alright, from now on, I won't take on too many missions so that I can come back to you faster." said Kali.

"I didn't mean it that way, you can take on as many missions as you want, just don't take too long," said Mira caressing the top of Kali's head.

Kali had a soft spot for Mira since Mira was the one who taught Kali everything she knew now, she was also Kali's favorite character before she entered this world. Now, Mira is Kali's favorite person.

Kali was never once strict with Mira, instead, she became the nicest wizard in the world when it came to Mira. To wizards of Fairy Tail, Kali was their role model. To Kali, Mira was her role model.

Members of Fairy Tail were envious of Mira, after all, she didn't have to go through the hellish training that Kali made them go through.

"Is that so? Then how about you come on a mission with me? That way, we can be together without having to wait for one another." said Kali.

Mira felt cold sweat drip from her forehead. "No thank you, I'll go on a mission with you when I don't have to take care of the guild."

Kali frowned, even all these years Mira wasn't over what happened to her sister. "You say that every time, did what happen in the past haunt you?"

Kali was one of the few people who knew what happened, though Mira made her promise to never tell anyone or speak about it.

"I...it just-"

"It's okay, you don't have to say anything. I understand because if that happened to me, I'd feel the same way you're feeling." Kali quickly interrupted.

Mira looked up, unable to look into Kali's eyes. "Thank you," she muttered, pulling Kali to her chest.

Since Kali wasn't much shorter than Mira, she had to bend her knee to let Mira bring her head to her chest, it was a comfortable feeling. Although affection like this often happened whenever they were together, Kali savored every moment of it.

"Hey Natsu, doesn't Kali seem like a child right now? Just before, she was like an adult to everyone," said Lucy.

"Oh, that? That's normal, Kali is only a year younger than Mira but Mira treats Kali like she's ten years younger than her." Natsu replied.

"I see, is Kali like that to you guys?" asked Lucy.

"Like that to us? Hmm." Natsu started thinking as all the memories of Kali forcing Natsu to train came, it sent shivers down his spine. "Nope, never."

"Then are they in a special relationship?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean, they only treat each other this way, right? Doesn't that mean they have something special between them?"

Natsu stared at Lucy confusedly. "What're you talking about Lucy?"

Lucy sighed and shook her head, why did she even bother asking Natsu? There was no way he would know anything about a special relationship anyways.

But the more Lucy thought of Kali and Mira's interaction, the more she thought the two had something going on between them. It was just that no one knew what exactly it was yet.

"The new member seems to be getting along with everyone. What was her name again?" asked Kali.

"Her name's Lucy, you need to get better at memorizing names," Mira replied.

"I can't help it, I've never been good at remembering the names of the people I just met," said Kali.

"That's exactly why I told you to get better at it."

"I will, soon. Though I'm surprised a fight hasn't broken out between Natsu and Gray yet."

"That's because you're here, no one dares to cause any trouble when you're here since your punishments are severe."

Kali chuckled. "I don't think they're that bad."

"You two seem to be enjoying your time together, it's kind of refreshing to see the two of you back together if I'm going, to be honest," said Cana ordering a beer.

"Seeing you drink a gallon of beer is refreshing too, it never gets old," said Kali.

Cana shot Kali a glare. "I don't drink a gallon beer...I drink more than just a gallon."

Kali sighed. "That doesn't make it any better, in fact, I think you should try to relax on your drinking habits."

"Nope, I'm good. I'll be fine drinking as much as I want, moreover, why don't you ever drink Kali?" asked Cana.

Kali nodded in Mira's direction. "Mira forbade me from ever drinking in my life, I guess I kind of just stuck with it. I don't even feel any interest towards beer."

"You and Mira sure are close," said Cana.

"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Kali, tilting her head.

Cana sighed and shook her head. "You're oblivious to the most important news and Mira too since you influenced her."

"Ha?! What're you talking about?"

"Look at this, tell me how word spread this quickly," said Cana throwing Kali the newspaper.

Kali used her magic to stop in mid-air and grabbed it. Her eyes read the title of the newspaper.

[ Kali, the SS-rank wizard returns to Fairy Tail! ]

Kali was confused, "What's wrong with it?"

"Look under the title."

Kali's eyes looked down at the words that nearly made her laugh.

[ Could Kali possibly be returning to Fairy Tail because of the famous model of Fairy Tail? After all, we've seen the two act incredibly familiar before, was this perhaps a secret relationship? ]

"What about it? I still don't see what's wrong with whatever is on the newspaper," said Kali.

"Ugh, the problem is that the newspaper says that you and Mira are together! I'm here to confirm it, are you and Mira in a relationship?" Cana asked loud enough for Mira to hear.

Kali and Mira were both in sync, they both let out a chuckle. Seriously, how could someone believe that?

"Of course not, we're just close friends, perhaps best friends," said Kali.

"Same, I don't even swing that way," said Mira.

Cana suspiciously glared at the two in front of her, even hearing it personally from them, she still didn't believe it. She needed physical proof to believe they aren't together cause even their laughs were in sync.

"Tsk, whatever you both say," said Cana chugging another beer.

"Kali, when are you going to greet Gildarts?" asked Mira.

"Later, I know where to find him, he already knows what time I'm going to be there," Kali replied.

Mira could never understand how the two aces of their guild, they acted as if they were telepathic and could tell what they were thinking no matter how far apart they were.

"Then how about Laxus? When are you going to greet him?" asked Mira.

"Oh? Laxus is back? How come he didn't come and greet me then?" Kali asked.

"He says the same thing whenever you come back, "I don't want to do all that formal stuff, leave me out of it" is what he says," said Mira.

Kali lightly chuckled, "Where is he now?"

"He's on the second floor, probably looking through missions to do. But he can't because of a certain someone," said Mira.

"Don't blame me, it was his fault for not taking all of the missions when he had the chance." Kali protested.

"Kali, you do know what no one in the guild takes all of the missions at once besides you right?" Cana questioned, joining in.

"Ugh, you don't even take any missions, you shouldn't be talking." Kali shot back.

Mira smiled at the two, they would often quarrel with each other which none of the members expected.

"Alright, you two, let's calm down." Mira interfered before things got any worse. Sometimes, their quarrel would get a bit too heated.

"Kali, I think you should go visit Laxus now, he's probably waiting for you," said Mira.

"Waiting for me? You've got to be kidding, I'm the last person Laxus would like to see on a free day, like today. But seeing him doesn't sound that bad, I wonder what's he up to nowadays." said Kali as she left the counter.

Kali made her way upstairs to where only S-rank wizards could go. The first thing she was was the request board with only a single mission on it, velvet curtains were being held by golden tassels.

Before Kali had the chance to look around any further, she heard lightning crackles coming from behind her. She smirked to herself, did Laxus really think a sneak attack would work?

With a snap of her finger, the incoming fist stopped a few inches before it could make contact with Kali's head.

"It's good to see you too Laxus, did you think a sneak attack would work on me?"
