Metallica's POV:

"Yo. Ya want that introduction now?"

"Yeah! C'mon, let's make you say it to the whole guild!" The random pink-haired dude suddenly grabbed my waving hand, and yanked me through the crowd. In a panic, I unconsciously latched onto Gajeel's coat, causing him to follow after the dude. 

"Oi! Let her go, you pyro!" Gajeel yelled, but the boy ignored him, and dragged me to the front of the place where the bar was. My eyes lit up at the sight of all of the iron just laying around. 

When the boy released me, I let Gajeel go, and began shoving a huge portion of iron into my mouth as the 'pyro' got everyone's attention. 

"Hey! Listen up! This girl's gonna introduce herself to the guild!" 

Everyone turned to look at me, and it took a few seconds before I noticed. I froze, my hands filled with iron as I repeatedly shoved mouthfuls in. My eyes widened, and I gulped all of it down before tossing the rest back into the iron pile. 

"Yo! The name's Metallica Redfox!" Numerous gasps rang around the guild, but I continued over their shock. 

"And I'm an Iron Dragon Slayer! That dumbass over there," I pointed to Gajeel, "is my twin brother."

I spat it out as if it was venomous on my tongue, and glared at him. He honestly looked as clueless as the rest of this place with my hostility towards him. 

"Whoa! That explains why you guys look exactly alike!" Blondie said, and I scoffed. 

"Were you raised by the same dragon?" That question caught my attention, and Gajeel's. He looked over at me, somehow sensing that it was a sensitive topic for me. 

"Yeah, Metallicana. Any other questions?" I answered quickly, and there were shouts, but none being questions. 

"She's hot!"

"Way hotter than Gajeel!"

"It's literally the girl version of him!" 

"Hey. I'm Pantherlily, but you can call me Lily. I'm Gajeel's exceed," I glanced around to try and find the source of the voice, until I looked down. There stood was a black cat with it's arms crossed, and a small sword attached to his back. I picked him up, and smirked at him. 

"Hey. I'm Metallica, Gajeel's sister. You're pretty cool. And cute," I pat his head, and he smiled up at me before jumping on my shoulder. 

"Gajeel! I like her!" Lily shouted, and Gajeel tched. I rolled my eyes at him, and walked over to a group of familiar faces. When Blondie saw me approaching, she sweat-dropped. 

"Why are ya staring at me like that, Blondie?" I growled, and crossed my arms. She laughed nervously, and the Stripper stepped in. 

"The name's Gray. That's Natsu and Happy," He pointed to the dude that dragged me out here and a blue cat, "Lucy," Blondie, "Erza," Redhead, "Levy," The girl that gave me my headband, "Wendy and Carla," A little girl with dark blue hair and a white cat, " and that's Mira," The last one was the girl that gave me my clothes. I nodded my head at them, and Lily hopped off my shoulder, and onto the table where the other cats were. 

"I never knew Gajeel had a sister," Erza said with smile, and I tched with my arms crossed. 

Of course he wouldn't talk about me. He forgot about me!

Just then, he decided to stand next to me. He went to put his arm around me, but I swung my fist up, and hit him in the face. He fell on his back, dazed, and I looked down at him. I sighed with my eyes closed, before I made my way to the bar. 

"Man, I need a drink," I complained, and took a seat as Mira slid a cup of beer my way. I chugged it, and ordered another one. 

"Hey. Can you hold your liquor?" A girl with long brown hair walked up to me with a mug, and challenged me. I glanced back up at her, and then chugged my next drink before nodding. 

"Name's Kana. And I challenge you to a drinking contest!" She yelled out, and plopped down next to me. 

I smirked at her, and accepted. Overhearing what was happening, most of everyone gathered around us as Mira set at least 50 shots in front of us, each. Before we could start, I turned to face Kana. 

"To make thing's interestin', let's make a bet, eh?" I suggested, and she smirked back in agreement. 

"Alright. If you win, I'll do whatever ya want for a whole 2 weeks," I smirked as people 'Ooh'ed. Then, she made her bargain. 

"And if you win, I'll strip and walk around the guild like that for 2 weeks," She grinned at me, and all of the guys had nosebleeds. I smiled, and we shook on it. We turned back to our shot glasses, and Mira began the count down. 

"Ok! In 5!

4! 

3!

2!

1!

Go!"

I shot my head back as I drank the rich alcohol, and repeated the process as people kept sliding more and more glasses to both of us. Every time we would finish one, we'd slam it upside down on the counter as a point. 

Oh, this is fun. 

~ TIME SKIP - AFTER THE CONTEST ~

The contest ended, and everyone was astonished as they stared at the last person standing. 

It was me. 

Kana was passed out on a table, and I staggered around as every once in awhile I'd hiccup from how drunk I was. 

I threw my hands in the air as a sign of victory, and hollered. 

"Yes! Now you gotta -hic- strip in front of the whole -hic- guild!" I cheered, and again, the guys had a nosebleed. The only ones who didn't was Gajeel, Gray, and Natsu. 

"Hey! That sounds pretty -hic- fun! I'll do it -hic- with ya! Kana! Kana?" I shook her body, but all she did was make a weird noise. Suddenly, I felt like I was burning. 

"Ugh! It's hot in here!" I groaned, and began to drunkenly take off my clothes. 

"Gah! Metallica! No!" Gajeel lunged at me, and fought my hands away from my shorts. I slapped at his hands, but I missed because of how drunk I am, and yelped when I felt someone touch my butt. 

"Hey! -Hic- That's my personal -hic- bubble, dude!" I yelled, and punched the guy that was nearest to my butt. It was a short old man. 

"Gah! That's the Master! Gajeel! Get a hold of your sister!" Someone yelled, and that sparked anger inside of me. I growled at whoever it was, and let go of my pants, causing Gajeel to let out a relieved sigh. 

"What'd ya say, ya old fart?" I seethed as I stalked up to an old man with a weird-lookin' mustache. 

"Whoa! Metallica! Calm down!" I heard Lily say from behind me, and felt 2 pairs of hands grab at my shoulders before pulling me back. The weird mustache man sweat-dropped, and heaved a sigh of relief when he thought that he was safe. 

When Lily and Gajeel let me go, that's when I upper-cut the man. 

"Don't tell me what to do!" I yelled drunkenly. 

Suddenly, I was tackled to the ground. I complained about it as I tried to through them off me, but that didn't get me very far. Then, I began to feel kinda drowsy. My eyes began to close, and I stopped struggling. Just before I fell asleep, I felt someone lift me up, and carry me off somewhere.

Gajeel's POV: 

I stood up and off of Metallica when I felt her stop struggling to get up, and noticed that she fell asleep. I sighed, and lifted her off the ground, and carried her out of the guild. Almost everyone had already left, and went back to their dorms, and I decided to take her back to mine. 

I opened the door, and walked through to set her on my bed. When I had set her down, a few knocks pounded on my door. I grumbled, and went to answer the damn thing. 

When I opened the door again, I was met by Gray, Natsu, Happy, Lily, and, surprisingly, Laxus. 

"What the hell are you guys doin' here?" I grumbled quietly, trying not to wake my twin. Natsu smiled with the rest of them. 

"Gramps wanted us to stay in one room while some people came to reconstruct the rest of the guy's dorm after mine and Gray's last fight," He laughed slightly, and rubbed the back of his head. 

"And why does it have to be mine?" I asked, and Laxus chuckled. 

"Your room is the only one not destroyed at the moment," Lily said, and I looked at him strangely. 

"Lily, you already stay with me." He shrugged, and walked between my legs, and into the room. With a small groan, I let them pass and into the dorm. 

"Hey, who's this pretty lady?" Laxus smirked, and I growled lowly at him. 

"Back off my twin, Lightning Bolt," I got defensive immediately, and stood in front of her protectively. He rolled his eyes with a smirk, but did as I said. They made themselves comfortable as I sat next to Metallica on the bed. Feeling me sit down, she grabbed onto my hand in her sleep. 

I half smiled down at her sleeping form, and pulled her shoes off, before I slipped off her gloves. My eyes widened at the many burns, bruises, and scars covering them, and slowly traced them. She yanked her right arm back when I got to the biggest scar, and growled out in pain while sleeping. 

"The hell was that?" Gray asked, and looked over to me and Meta. 

"Don't worry 'bout it. It was just Metallica," I replied grumpily, laid down next to her. She rolled over onto her other side, and clutched the pillow she was laying on tightly. She made a kinda grumbling sound, and I turned to look at the guys. They were all watching Metallica as she slept. 

"Hey! Eyes off!" I growled again, and they looked away. I felt a small dip at the end of the bed, and looked to see Lily. He had set his sword somewhere else, and climbed up next to Metallica. I stared at him, a weird look on my face. He glanced at me, and looked away in embarrassment. 

"What? She's warm," He argued as he snuggled up to her, and she grabbed him, before hugging him to her. I felt a sort of jealousness build up in my chest, and I tched at them. 

"So. How'd you guys get separated?" Natsu asked, and pat Happy on his head as the cat at a fish. I thought back, and a deep frown lined my face. 

"When we were 10, that's when Metallicana left us. We were both upset, but it did somethin' else to her. She became distant, and would barely talk. She always said that she would protect me, even though I'm the oldest, when it was obvious that she was the one that needed it. It was often when I would wake up in the middle of the night and find her crying, and I would always hug her until she fell back asleep," I closed my eyes as I remembered all of the nights where I'd wake up, and sooth her back to sleep like she was a baby. 

"Then, one night, we were wonderin' around, trying to find a place to camp. These cloaked guys, like the ones she fought a few days ago, jumped out and held me down. There were only a few of them, maybe 4 or 5, but we hadn't eaten in several days. These particular bastards I will never forgive. They beat her up in front of me as 3 others held me back and forced me to watch. She would call out to me, beggin' me to help her, but I couldn't. I had to watch as they beat my baby sister up with my own damn eyes," My eyes squeezed shut as I gritted my teeth, and grabbed at the bed sheets. 

"Then they took her away. I don't know where, but I still plan on figuring out. I joined Phantom Lord to help me look for her, and that's one of the reasons I attacked this guild in that war. I was mad that yet another search had me come up empty handed."

I slowly opened my eyes, and stared at the ceiling as my death grip on the sheets loosened. 

"There's scars, burns, and bruises all over her. And I'm willin' to bet that it was those bastards who did it to her. She said somethin' about a doctor, so I'm gonna guess that they did experiments on her while she was locked up there. But yeah, that's how we got split up." 

I sat up in the bed, and faced the silent guys. None of them looked so happy about my story, especially Laxus. 

"We'll help you track 'em down, Gajeel. We'll make 'em pay for hurtin' her," Natsu sneered, but not at me. I didn't respond, only closed my eyes and leaned my head back. 

Suddenly, I felt movement come from my left, and cast a glance over to Metallica. She rolled back over, Lily asleep in her arms, and still fast asleep too. Her hand inched towards mine, and I went to hold hers, a small smile growing it's way into my face. Her small hand twitched before she held on, and slowly relaxed from her tense state. 

"Why does she seem to hate you?" Gray questioned from the ground. I shrugged slightly, and glanced back at them. They were, yet again, staring at Metallica. 

"Tch. Good question. I'd like the answer to that one too," I mumbled, but they heard, and sighed. 

"Kysta..." Metallica suddenly muttered in her sleep, and I looked over at her when I felt her squeeze my hand. Her eyes were shut tightly, her back was arched, and she was shivering. Thinking it was because of the cold, I slipped her under the covers with me, and Lily woke up. 

"What's wrong with Metallica? I heard her whimpering in pain a few minutes ago," Lily informed, and rubbed his eyes before climbing onto the pillow where Meta was sleeping, and curled himself up to her head. My eyes narrowed slightly, and I stared at him as he stared back at me. 

"I dunno. Bad dream, maybe?" I grumbled, and held Meta's hand tighter. She responded by gripping tighter, too. Lily sighed, and fell back asleep, and I decided to also. 

"Hey, I'm goin' to bed. Don't do anything stupid, Natsu," I directed the last part at him, knowing that destroying stuff was his specialty. Idiot. 

I heard him shout, before I rolled over to face Metallic, and fall asleep.
