So, guys, I decided to write a Fairy Tail fanfic, I´ve been watching this awesome anime for some time, and I came up with the idea, I hope you´ll like it
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail!
Chapter one
It was a nice sunny day in Magnolia, Natsu was sitting on one of the guild´s tables and was resting his head on his arms, Happy was giving a fish to Charle, Erza was out shopping something to eat, Gray was talking to Elfman, and Juvia was staring at him with love eyes, Mirajane, Lucy and Wendy were talking happily, it was a nice day.
"I should go and look for a work to do, it´s been long since the last one, and I kind of need some money..." said Lucy who was sitting in the bar with her head on one hand.
"So do I," said Wendy next to her, "I´m going to see the board, you coming?" she said jumping from her seat.
"I guess so, let´s go," answered Lucy, "Bye Mira," she waved to the girl on the other side of the bar.
"Good luck!" Mirajane yelled after them.
The blonde and the blue haired girls ran towards the request board, there we a couple of easy works, but didn´t pay much.
"What about this one?" said Wendy showing Lucy a request.
"Is not enough to divide in equal parts and pay my rent," said Lucy shaking her head.
"Hmm, I wouldn´t mind giving you some of mine,"
"No Wendy, that´s not gonna happen," said Lucy looking for another request.
"Okay..." Wendy sighed and kept staring at the board.
"Oi! Have you decided already?" said a voice behind Lucy´s back making her jump.
"Don´t go around scaring everyone like that, Natsu," Lucy reproached him.
"Is not Natsu´s fault that you´re a scardy-cat, Lucy" said Happy flying on top of Natsu.
"Shut up Happy!" annoyance marks appeared on Lucy´s head.
"Is been awhile since we last went to a mission, let´s go on one, shall we?" said Natsu staring at the request board, "what about this one? They´ll pay us 300,000 jewels for getting rid of some monster," suggested the pink haired boy showing Lucy a sheet.
Lucy´s eyes glittered seeing the amount of money, she saw Erza and Gray getting closer.
"New job? Nice," said Gray snapping the paper from Natsu.
"Well, we're leaving this afternoon," Said Erza.
"Where are you going, Wendy?" asked Lucy who saw the little girl walking away.
"I was thinking of doing a work by myself," she answered with a grin, "C´mon Charle," she said to her white cat and both walked away.
"Be careful!" shouted Lucy.
"So you guys go make your bags, we'll meet at the station at 4, is it clear?" ordered Erza.
"Aye sir!" answered the others at unison.
The four teens were now gathered on the Train station, Lucy was wearing a blue shirt and black pants and had a small bag, Natsu had nothing as baggage just like Gray, and Erza had her usual mountain of bags.
"We´ll have to take the train and then walk some more." Said Erza eyeing a poster map hanging on one of the brick walls.
Natsu made a moaning noise, he hated to use transportation because of his motion sickness, Lucy saw his expression and face palmed.
They entered into one of the cabins, Lucy was next to the huge window and Natsu was next to her, Erza was in front of Lucy and next to her was Gray, Happy was resting on Natsu's lap.
"I wanna see what type of monsters are attacking the town, I'm gonna burn them all..." started Natsu, but he stopped suddenly as soon as the Train started to move.
"Natsu..." Lucy called out, but the dragon slayer couldn´t answer her question.
Erza shook her head disapprovingly.
"Idiot," said Gray smiling teasingly.
Natsu mumbled something incomprehensible, the others stared at him but gave up on trying to figure out what he just said.
After an hour or so travelling, the train made a weird noise and slowed down until it came to a complete stop, Erza was staring out of the window with a serious face.
"What's going on?" Lucy asked out loud.
"There might be something wrong with the engine," answered Gray.
"Dear passengers, we offer you our excuses for such trouble, but it seems like we have some technical problems, if you want to continue your journey by foot, you can descend now, we will fix this as soon as we can." Said a voice from the speakers.
"So, are we walking or what?" said Natsu going back to his feet.
"Looks like you're in good shape now," said Lucy.
"Oh yes, I am, so are you guys ready?" Natsu grinned showing his canines.
"I guess we have no other choice, and I want to check something out." Said Erza getting up from her seat.
The others sighed and followed them out of the train. Some others passengers were following their example, while some others stayed on their places.
"What´s going on?" asked Erza to a group of guys gathered around the train and were discussing.
"I don´t think this is of your business, girl," said a guy without even looking at her.
Erza's team mate's eyes widened in horror and hugged each other as the sight of Evil Erza taking place, she seemed taller and her face was shadowed, her eyes were sparkling red and there was a dark aura around her.
"Who are you calling girl?" she said with a scary voice, the guys turned to look at her and started shivering with fear.
"I-I´m sorry, I-I...?" Started the guy who talked to her.
"You better be...now, I asked a question, What's going on?" The scarlet devil asked again while holding the man by his shirt.
"T-the tires so-sort of tu-turned on st-stone," the guy managed to said still shaking.
"Hmpf," Erza dropped him and turned around to face her team, "Let´s keep going." And with that she headed to the forest leaving her nakamas with confused looks.
"Erza, what's wrong?" asked Gray following her with her eyes.
"Are you coming or what?" she roared.
"Aye Sir!" said the others running after her with huge scared eyes.
The five of the walked through the forest, Erza was in the lead, Gray was right behind her, Natsu and Lucy were at the back and Happy was flying on top of them.
They walked in the thick forest until it started getting dark, they stopped on a clearing, they could see the last lights of the sunset fade away in the sky, they were surrounded by trees, rocks and a clear pond.
"We'll camp over here for tonight, now, we will divide tasks," ordered Erza standing on a rock, "Natsu, Lucy, go get some wood and start a fire, Happy go get some water, Gray and I will go get something to eat," Erza pointed everyone with her sword, "Understood!"
"Aye!" said the teens and the blue cat.
"Now, off you go!"
The pink haired boy and the blond girl ran to the edge of the clearing and started looking for some wood.
"I hope there are no scary beasts out here," said Lucy picking up a tree trunk.
"No worries Luce, I can beat any beast," Natsu reassured her while hitting a tree and making it fall.
Lucy slightly blushed and smiled, Natsu always seemed to tell her what she needed to hear, he was always there to save her, she giggled and kept collecting wood.
Natsu stared at her from behind, he saw her blushing and giggled, what could be going on in her mind? It was a real mystery to him, she was Lucy after all, weird in every possible way, Natsu smiled and picked up the remaining branches.
Gray and Erza went the opposite way of Natsu and Lucy, they walked into the forest, not too far or else they would get lost, but enough to see any animals hiding.
"Erza, can I ask you something?" said gray stripping his shirt.
"What is it?" asked Erza looking around for any kind of movement.
"What's wrong?" asked the ice mage
"I think I saw something," hissed Erza jumping on a tree, leaving Gray with a quizzical look.
The scarlet mage kicked the branch and used her cheetah armour to increase her speed.
"Gotcha!" shouted Erza and a boy's voice at the same time as the sound of metal clinging inundated the forest.
"What's going on?" asked Natsu who arrived on time to see the Titania and a tall handsome brown haired boy fall on the ground with confused looks.
"Titania?" asked the boy with his blue eyes staring at the stunned mage.
"Blue Knight?" Asked Erza lowering her sword.
"What was that?!" squealed Lucy arriving with Happy on her shoulder.
"Wait... Are you Blue Knight... The Blue Knight?" asked Natsu staring from Erza to the boy.
"That's what Erza just said, Firehead," said Gray.
"What did you say, ice princess?" answered Natsu.
"Natsu, Gray, cut it!" said Lucy pushing the two boys away, "I think is important, so stop it!"
The ice mage and the Dragon Slayer looked at each other but didn't argue.
"Lucy? Lucy Heartfilia?" asked the Blue Knight staring at her.
"Huh?" Lucy turned to face the guy on the blue and grey armour and recognition filled the blond girl's eyes.
"You know him?" asked Natsu suddenly feeling fire on his stomach.
"Yes, he's Niaru, Niaru Lorethan..." said Lucy.
"Long time no see, Luce," Niaru smiled happily and walked closer to the Celestial mage and hugged her making her blush.
Natsu felt the urge of cutting this guy's head off, what was going on inside of him? He just looked away trying to calm down.
"How come you know each other?" asked Gray.
"Huh? Oh, our parents used to work together, we were really good friends, but I ran away to enter a guild," explained Niaru still having Lucy by her waist.
"Yeah, there's been long time since the last time we saw each other, I didn't know you had become so strong!" said Lucy giggling.
"I'm surprised of seeing you too, you've become pretty strong too, joining Fairy Tail and being part of one of the strongest team," the boy smiled.
"That's right, Fairy Tail is the best!" said Natsu with his fist on the air.
"Salamander, what an honour," Niaru extended his hand, but Natsu just looked away annoyed.
"So, what brings you to this forest?" asked Erza who had gone back to her usual armour.
"Oh, I'm on a mission, I have to track someone down, but I think you already know who." Niaru smiled looking at the scarlet haired teen who nodded once.
"Yes, I figured that out when I accidentally attacked you."
"Wait, who are you looking for?" asked Natsu walking closer.
"I can't tell you, is an S-Class mission," the brown haired mage turned to face the fire wizard.
"Hmpf, if you can go on that mission, it means you're a really strong mage… So fight me!" Natsu shouted hitting the air.
"Oi! Stop asking everyone to fight you, Natsu!" said Gray annoyed.
"What? Are you saying I can't defeat him?" the two of them stared at each other.
"Hmpf, I didn't use those exact words, but yeah!"
"Are you fighting?" Erza asked with her scary voice.
"NO! we're just buddies, right?" Natsu and Gray hugged each other shaking with fear.
Lucy face palmed and Niaru chuckled.
"Are they always like that?" Asked the guy on the blue armour.
"You can't imagine what is like to live with those two," answered the blond haired girl.
"Well, I think I have to go now, nice to meet you, and nice to see you again Erza and Lucy," said Niaru bowing and hugging Lucy again, making Natsu look away.
"Nice to see you too," said Lucy blushing.
"Good luck finding her," said Erza.
"Thanks, if you need help, let me know," Niaru said and Erza just nodded once, "and Lucy, I hope to see you soon," he smiled to her.
"So do I." answered Lucy grinning.
Niaru started walking to the forest, he just turned around once before kicking the ground and jump into the trees, Team Natsu stared at him until he faded away.
"Okay, minna, let's go back to our tasks, is getting dark now," said Erza and the others nodded.
Half an hour later Natsu and Lucy had lit a fire and were cooking some birds Erza and Gray caught and a fish Happy had. The two boys made the tent while the two girls went to look for water.
When the sky was dark and had its stars and the moon shinning, the four mages and the blue Exceed were sitting around the fire and started eating.
"Okay, we will make turns to guard tonight," said Erza throwing a bone away, "Natsu, you will go first. is it clear?"
"Aye sir! I'll protect you guys!" said the pink haired mage with his fist in the air.
"Hmm, in two hours you'll call me, okay?" Erza pointed the ice mage with her hand, the two boys nodded, and Erza smiled.
"Hey, what if something happens?" asked Lucy.
"Yes, what about this person Niaru was talking about? It seems that's really dangerous." Said Happy
"Don't worry, I'll stop him or her!" Natsu's fist lit.
"No! You will call me if she comes, okay?" Erza was alert now.
"But I can destroy her! I can— " started Natsu.
"No! You can't," Erza interrupted him, "She is way too dangerous for you, you'll wake us all," the scarlet haired mage hissed.
"H-hai..." Natsu was a little scared by Erza's reaction.
"But, Erza, Who is this person?" asked Lucy a little scared, if Erza said Natsu couldn't stop her alone, this person was really dangerous.
"I'm not supposed to tell you, but..." Erza sighed and continued talking as she saw the interested expressions on her nakama's face, "this person is 'The Nature Princess', a really powerful mage and a really dangerous one..."
"Wait... you mean...the earth and plants mage?" asked Gray.
"Who was it again?" asked Lucy more confused than before.
"She is a dark mage, she's part of a guild called Black Star," Answered Gray looking at Erza to confirm if what he was saying was true, the scarlet haired girl nodded.
"Anyway, I just hope she's not coming and I hope Niaru catches her soon." Erza sighed and stood up, "I'm going to sleep, Natsu, don't forget to wake me up when is my time.
"Yes, Erza don't worry," Natsu said as Erza walked to the tent.
"What are you thinking about, Lucy?" asked Gray, the blonde girl seemed so lost in thoughts she almost didn't hear him until he asked the question again.
"Hmm, I was wondering what type of magic Niaru uses..." Lucy said looking at the flames.
When Natsu heard that name, the weird feeling came again, it was like some pain on his heart, but it wasn't a physic pain...what was wrong with him?
"Natsu, are you okay?" Happy asked.
"Yes.." Natsu tried to shake the feeling off and paid attention to the others conversation.
"Well, I think he's magic is some kind of requip..." answered Gray.
"Like Erza?" asked Lucy a little confused.
"No, is like Edolas' Erza, he can only change his sword and can only requip in one armour." Said Natsu, he was feeling left out seeing Lucy and Gray talking so casually.
"I see..." said Lucy, "Interesting," she blushed.
"Well, I think I'll go to sleep," said Gray getting up, "Oh, It's a little cold isn't it?"
"That's maybe because you're naked!" shouted Lucy.
"Oi! Stop being so perverted, ice princess," said Natsu.
"What are you saying flamehead?" teased Gray.
"Guys, I hope Erza won't hear you," said Lucy looking at the tent with a horrified expression, the two guys got quiet at once and stared at the tent holding their breath until they heard Erza snoring peacefully and they sighed relieved.
Gray sent Natsu a dirty look, turned to Lucy and smiled and walked to the tent. Natsu sat back next to the fire and in front of Lucy.
"Aren't you tired, Luce?" asked Natsu.
"I don't want to sleep yet, and wouldn't you get lonely?" Lucy asked while she was resting her head in one hand.
"I'll have Happy, right Happy?" Natsu turned to the blue Exceed who was already snoring.
Lucy let out a giggle and looked at Natsu making him blush a little, what was Lucy doing to him? The thought of Lucy made his heart race, and the sight of the blond haired mage made his insides feel warm and nice, like when he feeds with fire, but slightly different...
"Natsu, can I ask you something?" said Lucy after a couple of minutes.
"What is it?" said Natsu surprised.
"Why did you act like that when Niaru was around? I mean, you weren't friendly at all, and you just avoided him, why?" Lucy stared at the floor, why was so important to know that? How come she was the only one who had realised that? Maybe because she was always paying attention to what Natsu did...why? She didn't have an answer to that question.
"Well... I don't know... why do you want to know?" Natsu felt his heart racing, he wasn't lying, was him? He didn't know what was going on with him...
"Anyway, just forget that," Lucy smiled and blushed a little.
They stood there in silence again, a really awkward silence, none of them could find anything to talk about, both of them were thinking about the other reaction and their own reactions and feelings...what was it?
"I...I think I'm going to bed," said Lucy standing up and yawning.
"Al...Alright, Luce, good night," Said Natsu watching her walking to the tent lost in her thoughts.
