A GrayLu fanfic from a loyal GrayLu shipper.

Special thanks to my Beta-reader - Nora57. She has given me tons of ideas on this story. Without her, this story wouldn't be the same.

This is my first fanfic with action so I am kinda nervous xD Hope I pull it off right... *Ahem* Without any further ado, please read and enjoy ^^

Prologue

Mission 0

It was an unusually small room. Faintly-lit. Eerily quiet. Quite worn-out to be exact.

A few swords and armors were placed on a small corner while some cabinets were built on the right, containing a few potions.

A table lied in the center with seats right across. On the chair towards a big stony wall, a lean hooded-man, his abdomen exposed with a metal armor covering his abs. The already present darkness made it harder for someone to guess his appearance. He gave off a mysterious aura.

While on the chair towards the door, a young looking man settled down with a serious gaze. The two were having an important discussion about something. As the conversation continued for half an hour, the two relaxed down. They looked near done with their business. The two shared a handshake, followed by a phony smile.

"So got it? Mr. uh—"

"Call me Gray. Gray Fullbuster." The person introduced himself, a small grin forming on his face as the faint light illuminated his face.

"Very well."

As Gray stood as if he was ready to leave the place, the hooded person stopped him, coughing.

"Gray-san, are you sure you can do this job just right?" He emphasized his words.

The raven-haired man turned his back towards the main and smirked, pointing his thumb towards the hooded man.

"Kidnap a girl and bring her back to you? Sounds easy. Consider it done." His smirk grew wider.

"Not any girl. She has blonde hair, and brown eyes." He paused to take his breath.

"A heart mark over forehead. You will know when you see. She stands out. " He hinted carefully.

"Like I said, you don't have to worry about anything." Gray reassured.

" You know the consequences, right? If you are unable to complete this job then— "

Gray stretched out his arm, as if he was motioning the man to stop speaking. Suddenly, his face grew darker.

"You probably don't know something. I have actually killed people before." He uttered forcefully, his body emitting an unpleasant aura.

"...Very well." The man said calmly.

Nodding at his statement, the young man turned towards the door. With his one hand in pocket, he lifted his other hand in the air as if to say out his final greetings. The whiteness of the day enveloped his very presence as his feet led him out. The clear, blue firmament expanded far and wide as he breathed in as much air as he could, his eyes closed. Finally, he exhaled slowly as he opened his eyes speedily.

"This one is gonna be one. big. fish." He grinned maliciously.

Writer's Corner

So... how was this? This is going to be different from my previous work. More adventurous, and action. Of-course, lots of bonding moments as well. Most of the prominent guild members will be in my story, some from other guilds as well. It's one big project, and for me to get motivated on it, I need more motivation... yeah I am lazy sigh... So please review and tell me if you are interested in more of it or not. ^^

How old is this fanfic? About a year old. Yeah. The plot has been stuck in my head for months now. As badly as I want to write it, I have exams next (That's just an excuse, duuuh) I do want to get motivated to write this. I mean, I think no one has done a pirate AU with GrayLu (from what I read/know) so I am pretty interested in this.

Also, forgive me Nora. I couldn't resist posting this. Hope you don't mind (which I know you won't, maybe) ^^

Update (01 - 05 - 2015)

To people who liked/ reviewed/ followed the story, a big thanks! It makes me want to keep writing, so I am grateful. I wanted to say that I have the basic draft of first chapter ready in my mind, I just need to write it out. Unfortunately, my exams are coming next so I might not be able to post it for a while. I hope you guys can wait for about 3 weeks... I know it's a lot of time, sorry. Wish me good luck ^^
