18 Mirajane's Hand

He was happy that he had returned back to the town and was became a bit dumbfounded as he remained in that state for some time. He felt a lot of memories flashing through his mind as he couldn't hold back his smile.

He even forgot that he had come here to complete the mission, he remembered the number of jobs he took so that he would be able to find their trace and was happy that he had finally entered this town.

Suddenly, a small boy crashed into him and fell down, he got out of his daydream as he picked up the boy and started to walk towards the Church. As soon as he entered the church, some small bombs of happiness started to explode in his chest.

He caught a glimpse of a head of white hair and saw a familiar girl kneeling on the ground, her face brought waves of nostalgia upon him. He called out to her in his soft voice, "Mira, Is that you?"

The girl's eyes flickered with recognition, tears welled up in her Blue coloured eyes as she glanced at him. A very soft and comforting voice was heard, "Shun, is that you?" Soon, she became a bit more excited as she spoke, her siblings also turned towards him, Elfman and Lisanna didn't recognise him immediately but they could remember that he was someone familiar, someone they had met before.

Mirajane stood up as she was stupefied, she approached Shun with a blank look on her face. It was like she couldn't believe that she was seeing him right now. She felt as if this was some sort of dream from which she didn't want to wake up right now.

She had missed him very much, her feelings grew for the time they were seperated and didn't have a limit. And today, an incident had happened in which she thoroughly wished that Shun would be beside her and support her.

Mirajane did feel better with her siblings trying to cheer her up but she wanted to know Shun's view too. Would he still like her now that she was a demon? Would he even talk to her? Shun wrapped his arms around her, "I missed you Mira, I missed you so much."

His words let her feel as if she was on top of the world, she was too happy right now that she felt that she could have fought that demon twice for these words. She replied with a longing voice, "Me too, I also missed you very much Shun."

Suddenly, Shun felt a strange skin in contact with his hand and noticed her hand had changed to that of a Demonic Hand. As Mirajane saw his eyes looking at her hand, she anticipated some hateful words from him.

She was scared now, scared that he would leave her all alone. Scared that he would hate her due to this. She closed her eyes as she thought that he would run away at any moment and she wouldn't be able take that.

Suddenly, she felt a soft hand touching her demonic hand and gripping it tightly. He pulled her close to him using his other hand as he caressed her white hairs. He asked her in his worried voice, "Alright now, tell me what happened here?"

Mirajane couldn't hold back her tears as she didn't detect any disgust but a genuine worry from his voice. Her tears came out flooding without looking as if it was going to stop. He caressed her hairs as he held her soft body in his arms.

Mirajane finally started to speak, "A demon came in the village and was killing people. I and my siblings thought of confronting the demon and my hand touched it. Suddenly, it disappeared and my hand changed to this form."

Shun heard her words as he raised his eyebrow, he looked at her hand and felt a concentrated magic on it. He extended his hand as an Azure Flame lit up on top of his fingers and let it on the Dark Hand of Mirajane.

Suddenly, the Dark Scaled Hand started to be eaten by his Azure Flame and her white skin was revealed. Mirajane and her siblings watched in surprise as they saw Mirajane's hand becoming normal.

Mirajane looked up and saw him smiling, he had a faint smile on his face, "So, is it alright now?" Mirajane didn't know what happened but she felt as if it was Magic (*cough cough, technically it was but let's not think about that*).

She tackled him as she started to kiss him all over his face while muttering, "Thank you." "You are the best." "My hero." And all these words. Shun did feel slightly uncomfortable as he was being kissed all over his face but he didn't complain.

Soon enough, Elfman and Lisanna approached them both as Elfman curiously questioned Shun, "Shun, what was that Dark Scaled hand? How did you make it disappear?" Shun smiled as he answered, "That was just the concentrated form of Mirajane's Magic, she must have manifested when she touched that demon."

Mirajane didn't like this magic as she muttered, "I wished that I didn't have this power. It made me become a monster." She was surprised when Shun looked at her with a sharp expression and informed her, "Don't be like that. Imagine what would have happened if you didn't have this power…"

His words caused them to realize as they knew that they would have most probably died if not for Mirajane's Magic. They were thankful for Mirajane's magic; Mirajane herself didn't hate her magic as much as before.

She nodded to him as he pat her head, they were having a very cute moment that suddenly someone threw their sandals at them. "The demons and demon lover should just die!" Shun didn't even look at the incoming object and destroyed it in mid-air.

The Sandal burned to ashes and he did turn towards the man who threw his sandal, the man shivered as he saw Shun's Azure Blue eyes looking at him. He felt an unimaginable amount of wrath in those eyes.

"Was that supposed to kill us? Weakling!" Suddenly an huge torrent of Azure Flames was released from his body and covered him completely. He had a feral grin on his face, "Believe me, you don't know a real demon, and I don't want to become one!"

His words were enough for some of them to wet their pants as they ran away from that place, they felt as if a true Demon had arrived there. Shun turned towards the Strauss Siblings as he gave them a heartfelt smile, "Looks like the town doesn't like you all. Alright then, come with me. I will take you to Fairy Tail guild."

They were confused as to what the Fairy Tail guild was except for Mirajane, she was thinking of going there as she had heard some rumours that it was a nice guild. She had thought that the guild would atleast take care of her siblings…

Mirajane didn't know that even she would actually have a chance to go there too. She noticed an Azure Blue Coloured symbol on his Right hand shoulder. She asked him, "What is this Shun?"

Shun lowered his head and noticed that she was talking about his Fairy Tail symbol, "This is my Fairy Tail symbol that I got. I have joined the Fairy Tail guild and was wondering if you want to do the same."

Mirajane's expression changed into a beautiful smile as she nodded her head, she and her siblings talked with Shun and started travelling to the Magnolia Town. Shun asked all about their life since he had left them and was a bit sad as he heard them talk about it.

He knew that if he was late today then they may have been shunned by the people in the town and would be thrown out of the town because of that demonic hand. As they entered the Fairy Tail guild, Shun opened the door and saw everyone staring at him with some surprise.
