I'm back! Welcome to my second story! I hope you enjoy!
Four days ago
"Wow!" Natsu yells. He was in need of money so he took a quick job by himself (Happy wanted to go on a job with Wendy and Carla instead). His mission was to defeat some vulcans at Mt. Hakobe. He finished the job but a storm came. He was camping out in a cave he found. He decided to explore the cave because he was very bored. Which brought him to where he was now. He was standing in front of a giant piece of crystal.
"What is that?" He asked no one. He narrowed his eyes. When he realized what he saw, he gasped. His eyes became wide. Inside the crystal at the very back, was a woman. She had her eyes closed. She had dark purple hair which she kept at chin length. Natsu stared at her through the crystal. I have to get her out. He thought. He started up his magic and hit the crystal. Nothing happened.
"Dammit," He swore. He attacked it again. This time a crack grinned and hit it again. An even bigger crack was made. He kept hitting the crystal and it kept cracking. Then with one final hit, it shattered. He ran forward and jumped to catch the woman. When he caught her he ran back through the cave to where his stuff was. Lots of rock were falling down back where the crystal was and he didn't want to get hurt.
He laid the woman down and checked for a pulse. He was surprised but relieved when he felt a gentle beat. He found an extra shirt in his bag and put it over the woman so she would stay warm. He then sat down and waited for either the woman to wake up or the storm to pass.
Natsu was starting to get bored. Actually, he started getting bored three hours ago. He thought the woman would wake up a couple minutes after he saved her but nope! It's been three hours of just staring at her. He wished he brought Happy or Lucy with him. Heck, he wouldn't mind Gray at this point! He was startled out of his thoughts when he heard a groan. He looked down and noticed the woman shifting on the she slowly opened her eyes. She looked up at Natsu.
"Who are you?" She asked, slowly sitting up. "And where am I?"
"Well, first off, I'm Natsu!" He said grinning his usual grin. He extended his hand to shake hers. She looked at his hand with a blank, almost bored expression. Natsu looked at her.
"Uh, what's your name?" He asked, pulling his hand back. She looked him up and down.
"Ur," She said. Natsu's eyes almost came out of his head.
"WHAT?" He yelled. "Did you just say Ur?" He asked.
"Yeah, why?" She said. Natsu kept staring at her. As soon as she told him her name, Natsu's thoughts went straight to Gray. He remembered Galuna Island, and Gray telling Happy, Lucy, and himself his tragic past. But, Gray said Ur was dead. So this couldn't be her! Right? Natsu decided to ask some questions instead of just assuming it wasn't her.
"Can I ask you some questions?" Natsu asked.
"Uh, sure," She said.
"Are you a mage?" He decided to ask her. He didn't want to just go out and ask her questions she might not be ready to answer just yet.
"Yes," She answered.
"Okay, what type of magic do you use?" Natsu asked. He was both hoping and fearing she would say ice make. Hoping because, well, Gray would be so happy. But he was also fearing because if it is possible this was Ur, would Gray leave the guild to go continue his training with her?
"Ice make magic," She answered, a slight smile coming to her face. She seemed like she was remembering something. Natsu took a deep breath.
"Where do you live?" He asked. He was going to ask if she knew Gray or Lyon, but decided against it.
"Isvan," She answered. Natsu was starting to get the feeling that this is the Ur Gray talked about.
"Have you ever heard of the guild Fairy Tail?" He asked. He never knew how Gray found his way to the guild, so he was guessing Ur had once told him about it.
"Fairy Tail! Of course I've heard of that guild. My old friend Gildarts is in it. Well, I think he still is," She answered. "Why do you ask?" She asked.
"Well, I'm in the guild, see!" Natsu showed her his shoulder. She looked at it and smiled.
"Is that guild still destructive?" She asked with a friendly smile.
"Yeah, I don't think that's ever changing though," He answered, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. He took a deep breath. He was going to ask.
"Uh, do you know someone named Gray Fullbuster?" He asked. Her smile left her face and was replaced by a frown.
"Why do you ask?" She said, frowning.
"Well, he's in Fairy Tail too, and when we found a guy named Lyon on a mission, Gray told us about his childhood and that included a woman named Ur. And now with the information you told me, I know it is you," Natsu said.
"What, you didn't think it was me before?" She asked, raising her eyebrow.
"Well, I didn't believe it. Gray told us you sacrificed yourself for him. To the rest of us it sounded like you died, but he still believed you lived on in the ice. But after the ice melted, he believed you were now living in the ocean," Natsu said.
"Well, it is me," Ur said with a smile.
Natsu grinned at her. He looked outside and noticed the storm stopped.
"Do you want to come back to Fairy Tail with me?" Natsu asked. Ur thought about it. If this Natsu kid was in Fairy Tail, that would mean she's in Fiora. And that meant she had nowhere to stay.
"Sure, I got nothing better to do," She looked at him with a smile. Natsu grinned and held his hand out. She grabbed it and got pulled up.
"It takes about three hours to get to the guild so do you want to get some lunch at the town?" He asked.
"Sure, why not," She answered.
"Hey, I'm back!" Natsu yelled, kicking the guild doors open. Ur and himself had got off the train before sunset so the decided to just go to the guild right away.
"Natsu!" Happy yelled, flying to Natsu.
"Hey Happy," Natsu said. Happy looked behind Natsu and noticed Ur.
"Natsu, who's that?" Happy asked. Natsu turned around and looked at Ur and grinned. Everyone in the guild looked at them when Happy asked.
"Everyone, meet Ur!" He said while stepping to the side so they could all see in the guild said hi except for the two people that didn't do anything.
Cana gasped. Cana knew Ur. Gray had talked to Cana about her and showed Cana a picture of her. They were best friends so they told each other things nobody else knew.
Master Makarov had been staring wide eyed at Ur. She could have been one of the ten wizard saints. But he also knew about her from Gray. But Gray told him she had died, so how could she be here?
*A couple hours later*
"Well Ur, do you like the guild?" Natsu asked her. It had been a couple hours since they had gotten there and Ur had been fitting in perfectly. And it also seemed she was having a good time with everyone. Too bad Gray was on a mission and wouldn't be back for another couple days.
"Yes I do. It's very friendly here. No wonder Gildarts liked it here," She answered.
"Well it's getting late and I'm going to head home. My friend Lisanna over there," He pointed to Lisanna and smiled back at him and started to walk over. "Is going to take you to Fairy Hills. That's where you can sleep," Natsu told Ur.
"Okay, thank you Natsu. Have a good night," Ur said.
"No problem, night!" He said. "Happy! Time to go home," Natsu yelled.
"Coming!" Happy yelled. "Bye everyone!" Happy yelled. The guild said yes to both Natsu and Happy when the left.
"Hi, I'm Lisanna," Lisanna said when she got over to where Ur was.
"Hello, I'm Ur," Ur said smiling.
"Well, you ready to head to Fairy Hills?" Lisanna asked.
"Yes I am, shall we go," Ur answered. Lisanna smiled and they both headed out of the guild.
*Present day*
"Thank you so much sir," The man says to Gray. Gray had to take a job to get rent. And if he didn't have enough money by the end of the month, he might be in the guild's infirmary for a little while. His landlady is not the nicest.
After getting his reward, he headed to the train station. His job took him four days because it's pretty hard to catch bandits who use teleportation and one other type magic each. One of the bandits used egg knock magic along with the teleportation magic. It reminded him of Nano. And Nano reminded him of his journey to Fairy Tail. And that reminded him of Ur and Lyon. He missed them both, even though Lyon is in a guild of his own with new friends and a new dream. But he still missed him. And Ur. He misses her so much. Even though her death happened years ago, the wound was still fresh whenever he thought about it.
He was knocked out of his thoughts when he heard the whistle of the train. He got on the train and chose a seat with nobody else. I need some sleep. He thought to himself. He didn't even realize how tired he was until he sat down. He leaned his head against the window and closed his eyes. He had a feeling something good had happened at the guild while he was gone.
Well that's the first chapter! Did you all like it? I know it seemed like this is going to be a Natsu and Ur story but don't worry, this is a Gray story ;) Please follow, favorite, and lots of reviews!
