Mission 4; Find a Place to Sleep! Another little kid?!:

Now the gang regreting not stopping Chihiro earlier for directions when she was still there. But, she was gone now, and the forest was to thick to even breath, at night it was only worse.

Natsu colasped right on spot "I give up!" he declared, pulling up grass from the ground and rolling into a grass ball. The other three sweatdropped as Happy tried to wiggle himself inside with his buddy. Obviously they weren't that smart at the moment.

Erva sighed and looked up at the sky. Through the cowering tree's branches, whisps of black clouds covered parts of a full moon above. This only made her sadder.

"I geuss we'll have to set camp up here?" Lucy questioned, looking at Grey who was the only one paying attention with somewhat common sense.

He shrugged and started getting into work, postioning to clear some trees.

"What do you think you're doing?!" someone interupted. All of them froze then mechanicaly looked in the direction they voice came from. A small boy maybe a year or two older that Chihiro was stood ontop of tall tree with his hands on his hips. "If you're going to cut down the trees, forget about it because I won't let you cut down my home!" he pointed down accusingly at them.

Erza stared up at him for a minute with a blank expression before asking "....  Do you know Chihiro by any chance?"

The boy looked at her with a puzzled look "You mean a girl with brown-ish orange hair and blue eyes?" he questioned. Erza nodded making the boy look at her sceptivly "And.... what do you want with... 'Chihiro' " he made sure to say her name in an odd way.

"We're friends of her's" she explained, placing a hand on her chest as if to gesture to herself. "We only want to see her, she might likely be very vitale to our current mission."

The boys narrowed at her "The mission of extermination?" he quized. Erza nodded. The boy's face turned to total disquest "No way am I ever showing any damn murderers my best friend expessily when they want to kill her!" he shouted before jumping to top of another tree, his back turned to them. He looked back once, or more like glared and said one last thing "If you really are her friends, you'll leave." and then he was gone.

They all stood, or in Natsu and Happy's case, laid, stunned. They were to kill Chihiro? They couldn't belive the mayor wanted to kill an innocent little girl like Chihiro. Let alone say she killed things. What exactly did they just get into?
