Kess pov.

I would say I was late to the party, half of Magnolia was in ruins and the guild a pile of rubble. I went to work and went straight to the wounded.

I started and worked my way along through the injured.

"Hey your new, i havent seen you in the guild.", a red haired blue eyed re equip mage says as I wrap her bicep.

"I'm not, I heard someones been bugging my cousin, but I'm glad to see I wasn't needed. Her guild had her back.", I say as she studies me.

Erzas pov...

I watched the stranger as she tended to my injuries. I could sense her magic so I knew she was a type of mage, but what I didn't know yet.

"So you just randomly decided to tend our wounds?",I ask.

"Well ya, looked like a additional set of hands would be appreciated. ", she says helping me up with a smile. She's so easy going but who she's related to is a puzzle, she looks like no one, and I can't place her personality.

"You have my gratitude then...."

"Oh silly me, I'm Kess. Kess Kyle. ", says the ravenette. "Pleased to meet ya Erza." as she tilts her head with a two finger salute.

"How is it you know my name?" I ask as we walk.

" Why my cousin's letters of course, your the only red headed re-equip mage I see around here. I also heard that your the best person to talk to for buying cakes ", she says as her lavender grey eyes twinkle "I have a little sweet tooth myself.

"So who's your....", "Erza can you help us with Loke and Reedus?", a voice says

as we jog over to Myra.

I don't miss the way Kess studies Loke, a temporary look of recognition in her eyes before jogging over and using herself to support him while I help Myra with Reedus. She doesn't flinch at the weight as he squints not quite looking at her.

We take them over to a healer tent and Kess helps him on the bed as he finally looks at her, his face puzzled.

"Your new here princess, because I'd remember an angelic face like yours.", he starts as she rolls her eyes.

"Of all the guys i could've treated I get the player.", she says with a chuckle making me laugh.

"She's got you pegged already Loke.", I say smirking as she begins to tend his wounds as he removes his jacket to make it easier for her.

"Well maybe I can repay you princess.", he says." For the first aid of course"

Loke's pov....

Her scent was lovely, like apple blossoms on a warm spring day, and her voice an laugh sweet while her pretty eyes smiled with her as her straight black hair tempted me to touch it. She seamed so familiar though, like a nagging feeling we've met.

"Thanks but I don't want your kind of repayment Loke.", she says " My cousin warned me about you tiger." She begins to walk away but I take her hand surprised at the electricity touching her gives me, and pull it to my lips kissing her knuckles pleased as a light pink dusts her ivory cheeks.

"Perhaps its destiny we've met my princess, so please let me repay you."

"No, im just in town to see my cousin, after I see her I've gotta get back to tracking a dark wizard before her trail gets cold again.", she says a sad look in her eyes "So I won't be here long."

"Why are you tracking her?", Erza says

"Because, she stopped me from keeping a promise to a friend who disappeared. The fact that I can't find my friend makes me worry he's already passed, because if not hes still out there dying, or worse he's her toy.", I don't know why but I'm jealous of the friend. I see a dark look cross her eyes a moment as she mumbles something under her breath.

"Well your guild mates lucky to have you.", Erza says.

"I don't have a guild.", she says.

"What we must rectify this!", Erza shouts dragging the girl off.

"Bye Loke nice to meet you.", she shouts back.

Lucys pov.....

I look up from talking to Master, Natsu and Gray as Erza drags over a familiar ravenette over to us.

"Kess!", I shout running to her hugging her as Erza stops.

"Hey baby cuz, you guys sure know how to throw a heck of a rave.", she says grinning as she pulls back..

I study her in her ripped blue jeans and black t-shirt her hair up in a ponytail.

"Ah it makes sense now.", Erza says.

"Wait your not taking Lucy!", Natsu shouts putting me behind him protectively.

"Chillax Pinkie pie, I just came to knock some heads cause i heard what my stupid uncle was doing.", Kess says, "I'm Kess Kyle, the bad influence who encouraged Lucy to be what she wanted and was banned from hanging with her . And from the hair I'll guess your Natsu, an the hot guy in his boxers is Gray."

"Not again!", Gray whines as Kess giggles.

"Your right, an this is our head Master Makarov.", I say

"And I'm Happy!", shouts the cat.

"Omigosh Lucy, you never said how cute Happy was.", Kess gushes as she crouches to his height happily rubbing his head "He's just a little bundle of adorable."

"Oh did I forget to mention she loves cats?", I say sweat dropping.

"The best people do.", Happy says enjoying the attention.

"Master she came to see her cousin, but has been busy patching our mates up. I was thinking since shes guildless she should join.", Erza says.

"I thank you for your kindness towards my children, an if you like your more than welcome to join Kess.", Master says as I look over at my cousin.

"Im not sure guys, I'm always on the move. In fact i was tailing someone when i heard my cuz was in trouble.", she says. What few people know is my cousin hunts celestial mages who abuse there keys. In fact she gets along better with celestial spirits than people. Actually she rarely admits she's a celestial mage because of people who abuse there spirits. She says it makes her ashamed to be one. "And I can't stay long, or her trail will get cold again."

"Yes but wouldn't it be nice to have a place to return?", Master says " Besides whatever your seeking could be just under your nose."

"I need some time to think on it sir. I've been on my own a long time", she says "Lucy can I crash at your place tonight?" and I can tell shes tired.

"Sure Kess, how long?", I ask.

"Just a night I really need to get back on the trail.", she says "while I'm gone I'll think about joining."

"Well then lets go get you fed, an some rest.", I say and she nods and we say farewells and headed to my place.

"Cuz, have you noticed anything odd about Loke.", she asks.

"No Why?", I ask.

"It just feels like we've met before, he feels familiar. Also his eyes show glimpses of a deep seeded pain, an I can feel his sadness.", she says.

"All i know for sure is Celestial mages freek him out, I guess he had a bad experience.", I say as she raises an eyebrow "He's afraid of me."

"I see.", she says " not that i blame him some of us are horrible people." She says chuckling.

"Kess thanks for coming, an stay as long as you want.", I say taking note of her exaustion.

As soon as were home she crashes on my couch, and zzzs take her.

Kess I really hope you stick around.
