A/U okay everyone I've had this idea for a long time, the pairing is Natsu and Kagura I read a fanfic about the pairing before and really liked it, sadly however there are very few of these fanfic out there so hopefully with mine and the help of other fanfictions we will be able to inspire others to do get behind the craic pairing of Natsu and Kagura or Nagura just to let you know it is a slow start, however Kagura will be introduced in this chapter and then from that I'll develop their relationship with some added plot twist and maybe a small time skip or two.

"Natsu" in bold is thoughts or the Name of an attack

"Natsu" in italics is for flashbacks

"Natsu" just normal

It is the year X791 and we are in Magnolia home of Fiore's number 1 guild Fairytail. On the streets of Magnolia we find a certain pink haired dragonslayer who also happens to be the saviour of Fiore, his Name is Natsu Dragneel and he accompanied by his best friend Happy a flying blue cat no less had just returned from a solo job and are returning to their guild little did the dragonslayer know that he was in for a surprise that would change his world.

"Man that mission was to easy but at least the pay was good." He complained, "Yeah Natsu, you were totally awesome maybe not as much as me but still pretty good" his feline friend boasted. "What do you mean it was me who beat up everyone while you watched!" the pinkette angrily retorted. "AYE! But I also supervised and that way more important than fighting."

Knowing he wasn't winning the argument any time soon he kept quiet until he came to the doors of the guild and kicked them open only to be met with frozen lance like projectiles. "What the hell freezer burn?!" he asked furiously "you know exactly what the hell it was for pyro!" Gray proclaimed with a very visible vein present on his forehead just as furiously as the dragonslayer.

"Ice make; Lance, you blew up the village after your job because you didn't get full pay, a lot of people got hurt you know!" Gray said while attacking the person he thought he knew. "What the fuck are you on about, happy was with the entire time, tell him he's losing it buddy." Natsu retorted seeing how this must have been a simple misunderstanding Happy could clear it up since Natsu was the suspect after all.

Flying in front of Gray stopping his attack Happy began to speak "stop Natsu is telling the truth he wouldn't blow up a village for something so petty, sure he caused some property damage but that was all we left after our mission and found an inn a few miles away from the village to rest for the night." Happy explained with a determined look in his eyes to stand up for his partner and best friend.

"I'm sorry my boy but the report states that Natsu came back to the village alone after he left and then caused the destruction, we were sent are report along with a bill for medical supplies and property damage so as it stands Natsu is still guilty." The voice of the master Makarov reached the Feline's and Natsu's ears.

Natsu went Limp at the thought of what was happening "did I really do it, I wouldn't there's no way…" however his thoughts were cut short when he saw a flash of scarlet red and silver causing him to stumble to the ground. Luckily for him in this case as he felt an immense pain over his right eye, the stumble he took to ground barely saved his eye from Erza's blade.

Taking his hand off injured area he looked up to see Erza with her sword raised high and tears threatening to escape from her eyes. "How could you Natsu, you of all people how could you hurt them!" was all she said before bringing her sword down, however it never made contact with the target.

Between Natsu and Erza stood the Towering figure of Laxus Dreyar who had been watching the whole thing play out up until the point where he couldn't stand watching anymore and jumped in. He just stood there with his usual stoic expressionless face Erza's sword caught in his bare hand as if it was nothing.

"Don't you think you're acting to hastily, this Natsu were talking about the cat is Right he isn't someone to do something like blowing up a village over something as petty as not getting fully paid if that were the case don't you think there would be a lot more towns and villages complaining?" Laxus said while releasing Erza's sword.

"That may be true boy but we have reports and witnesses to say he did it, I want to believe in Natsu but the Evidence is against him so I can't and some form of punishment is in order, although no-one was killed lives were endangered so I am considering letting the council deal with him." Makarov said preparing himself as he knew his grandson would object greatly to it.

"Yes the evidence is against him but he saved the entire of Fiore from the wrath of the dragons, hypothetically if Natsu is guilty if, I'm not saying that excuses him from the actions committed. Still something seems off about this, I have complete faith that Natsu wouldn't commit such heinous acts but if you still feel like you can't take mine and his word then you'll have to go through me before you can get to him" Laxus started, his voice slowly became filled with anger directed towards Makarov as he emanated his magic aura.

Makarov followed his grandson's suite doing the same the pressure of the area between them drastically increased as the friction between the two magic's started to create arcing blue and red lightning.

However it all died down when Makarov was taken by surprise at what he heard next.

"You'll have to go through me too!"

"And me"

"Count me in as well"

"Don't forget about me"

"That kid was like a son to me so you'll have go through me as well old man."

Gajeel, Wendy, Lisanna, Mirajane and Gildarts Clive now stood alongside Laxus in front of Natsu protecting him from further harm, ready to fight to keep him safe. "Laxus, Lisanna everyone…thank-you" Natsu was moved to tears at seeing how devoted his friends were to protecting him, he found it ironic actually usually he would be in their position the one doing the protecting, he found it a nice change to be the one being protected

"DO YOU INTEND FOR ME TO SIMPLY OVERLOOK WHAT HE HAS DONE!" Makarov furiously proclaimed. "I will not allow someone who will bring harm upon innocents and doesn't acknowledge he did so to be a part of the guild" he continued his voice carrying a scowl.

"Oi old man…" however Laxus couldn't finish as he was cut off by Natsu "Good then we feel the same, I don't want to be a part of a guild where my word means nothing…" He said pausing clutching his still bleeding eye "out of all the people who I thought would stand for me in a situation I thought you'd have been the first person to do so Erza, after everything I did for this guild, for you for EVERYONE! Now you just turn your back on me well next time Fairytail's in trouble I won't help because of you, the master, Gray or Lucy, no I will only help because of the people who stand here beside me now."

"Happy stay with Lisanna, Mira and Elfman, he might not be here now but I don't doubt he wouldn't have my back so stay with them they always were the closest thing we had to a real family, you should still be a part of Fairytail." He told his partner his voice void of any emotion. "But I want to go with you, Fairytail isn't Fairytail without you!" the little blue cat let out sobbing and hugging his father figure.

"Sorry bud this is something I need to do plus It won't cause problems if I'm no longer affiliated with Fairytail, the old man can think of it as a gift I'll come back someday maybe but for now I'll look for Igneel, I already have a lead but that's a secret." He said his trademark smile while patting the head of his adoptive son.

"Oi Salamander you can't leave… Yeah the scrapheap is right we will find out what going on…Natsu you can't leave me and Happy not after I just got back(not vaunting seven year time skip)… Natsu don't leave you did everything to protect my guild, you promised that you'd protect it and you did, so now let us protect you we promise we'll clear your just please stay" came the pleas of Gajeel, Laxus, Lisanna and Wendy. Mira and Gildarts remained quiet knowing there was no swaying the slayer.

"Sorry guys my mind is made up, don't worry I come visit, but if you want to help me then could someone bandage up my eye before I leave?" he was dead set on leaving he couldn't stand that some of the people closest to him would abandon him so easily, least to say he wasn't expecting Laxus and the Gajeel of all people to stand up for him given their past dealings.

After getting bandaged up by Mira she had told him that his sight wasn't in danger although he was probably gonna have a scar similar to the one Laxus had. Getting up from the chair he walked to the exit of the guild, he then turned to face them showing his exposed guild stamp his lit his and on fire and then without hesitation burned his stamp off. The who had stood up for him were now in tears even Laxus and Gajeel they had both been freed from their darkness by the pinkette so it pained them as much as the others to see his retreating figure.

The others in the guild kept the stern expressions as well as their eyes fixated on him not saying anything until he was out of sight. Laxus and the others left the guild they didn't want everyone to see them as they were now and so left without a word. All but one that is "shitty old man, do you enjoy taking my family from me?" was all Laxus said as he gave his grandfather a look that could kill, cause if looks could then Makarov might have died five or six times over.

The look itself caused Makarov to think about what he had done, but what his grandson said is what really got him. "All I've done was for the greater good of the guild, yes I have regretted it but why must stuff like this always affect Laxus is the way that Fairytail does these things wrong? It couldn't be could it?" Makarov pondered to himself while chugging down some of his ale.

A lot of the members in the guild wanted to stand up for Natsu but were too afraid to do anything causing them to feel guilty, but none more so than Fairytail's resident alcoholic Cana Alberona, how could she face her father after this, she wanted to stand up for the dragonslayer remembering who they were talking about and knowing he was incapable of such acts against innocent people. Even the thought of thinking about not standing up for Natsu made her feel guilty so she drank, and drank and drank until she was out cold as did many of the others.

Several days later

It had been a few days now since the dragonslayer left Fairytail in order to search for Igneel when he came across his first major obstacle transportation. "Well my eye has healed but I don't think my stomach will recover as fast if I'm going that far." Reluctantly getting aboard the train he tried thinking about all his priorities in life in order to keep the motion sickness at bay.

While Igneel took number one spot he was a dragon and could live for an extremely long time so if something came up Igneel could wait for a bit longer. After all Natsu did remember making quite a few promises in his time and he had left some unfulfilled. "I know Igneel is always my priority, but in the seven years I was asleep I've let a few promises unfulfilled, I wonder which one I should do first." Then something came back to him a painful memory in more than one sense.

Flashback

"Ugh…Ugh…damn…well at least you guys are alright" a tall brown haired man said, he was tall and muscular and had an eye patch over one eye. The closes he wore we now tattered rags his covered in cuts and bruises. "You damn fool Simon now you'll die for nothing!" Jellal shouted from across a crystal like floor. The now known Simon collapses onto the floor in front Natsu and Erza taking his last breaths.

"Simon you can't die not now!" the teary eyed scarlet mage shout, now with a smug smirk on his face he begins speaking "It's alright…ugh…Erza I prepared myself for this for the start but just so you know I doesn't suite you when you cry and I always loved you." He struggled to say, Erza was too taken back by what he had said to her to form words after all she was still pretty sure she had feelings for Jellal somewhere deep down so just Nodded and continued to cry to show she understood,

"Natsu…ughehe…please defeat Jellal I know that you can do it, you have limitless potential it's just waiting to be unleashed…ughehe…Natsu I have one final request for you, I have a sister we were separated when we were young promise me you'll find he, promise me you'll protect her." Simon pleaded on his deathbed.

Not one to deny someone as deserving as Simon of a final wish as well as someone who so wholeheartedly believe in him so much Natsu gave his answer, "I promise you have my word as a dragonslayer that I will find her and that I will protect her with my life like you protected us" Natsu answered his voice stern and his fists clenched in an effort to hold back all the anger and hate he felt for Jellal right there in that moment.

A large smile made its way across Simon's face as he closed his eyes "very good, then I leave my sisters life in your hands…my friend." In that moment Simon had died his body breathless and motionless yet the smile on his face never wavered it only remained knowing he could trust the dragonslayer he had put his faith in.

Flashback End

"That right a lot of shit happened after the tower of heaven, nirvana, that Daphne chick, Edolas and the S-class exams. I remember it came to mind a while before the Grand Magic Games but that was because we met Jellal, huh doesn't help though I don't know her name so finding her will be difficult maybe I should st…" However he couldn't finish as he saw the carriage doors slide open and watched as the Mermaid Heel ace Kagura Mikozuchi entered.

"Kagura?" he said as if he wasn't sure, he actually had a reason he wanted to talk to Kagura but wasn't quite sure how to bring it up and when he would be able to meet her. He actually thought that if he brought it up he would incur her wrath and being someone who could be as strong as Erza if not stronger that scared him. Said mages attention now turned towards the pink haired dragon slayer. Kagura was of average height had dark purple hair cut into a traditional Japanese princess style and had a white ribbon tied in it that looked like a pair of rabbit ears. She had hazel eyes and wore a white shirt with a red tie and an ivory coloured blazer that fitted her rather curvaceous body rather well. Her skirt was a plain white plated one she wore over her dark grey stockings, her boots matched her ivory blazer and had gold trim around the neck of the boots and of course she carried her famed archenemy.

"Oh Mr. Dragneel it's very nice to see you. Wait what happened to your eye?" the usually stoic women questioned with curiosity. Gritting his teeth in anger which she noticed and was about to tell him to forget she asked he answered "Erza happened simple as." He said sternly. To say Kagura was surprised that the person she considered to be her sister would do something to one of her friends.

Natsu could see the curiosity etched on her face, he thought it looked cute as opposed to her usual emotionless one and so motioned for her to sit down, he had his motion sickness under control for now and didn't want it returning so decided he'd talk about what had happened back at Fairytail. It took about twenty minutes to explain everything and Kagura felt truly sorry for him that the people he considered family would do this to him, but now that she was here with him she figured now was the best time to talk to him about it.

"Um Mr. Dragneel…" "Please don't call me Mr. Dragneel were friends so just call me Natsu" he interjected. "Okay then, Natsu I need thank you for something, fist off you saved all of Fiore from the dragons and then you saved me when I was struggling to fight with my injuries."

Flashback

Dragons were rampaging throughout the city of crocus seemingly under the control of future Rogue who came through the eclipse gate seven years from the future. The dragon known as mother glare was littering dragon eggs that landed all over Crocus and were slowly over whelming the allied wizard forces. One such mage was the infamous Kagura Mikozuchi of Mermaid Heel.

"Damn this wound keeps opening up and these things keep coming like there's no end to them!" an injured Kagura said to herself holding the right side of her stomach, the wound had re-opened since it was sealed after Minerva cheated a decided to run her through from behind with her own sword.

However now there was no-one to heal or even close up the wound, so the best she could do was tightly tie her blazer around her waist so that bleeding would be slowed down. As she made her way through the ruins of crocus using her sword to support her she caught a glimpse of Future Rogue Fighting Natsu on the back of a grey scaled dragon. "Natsu Dragneel you're our only hope you must defeat him, I know you can defeat him…ugh…if you don't we'll all die please defeat him." She said panting in exhaustion collapsing onto the ground guess clutching her stomach in pain she could her wound open further causing more blood to spill.

Trying to drag herself along the ground she soon found herself at the mercy of the draconian offspring ravaging the city, she tried to use her Gravity Magic to keep them in place but only lasted for a moment a her vision started to darken and consciousness started fading releasing the draconian offspring from the bone crushing gravity prison. One of the creatures leapt at her and in that moment time seemed to slow down every second seemed like an hour as hundreds of thoughts played her mind'

"So this is where I die…I don't even get revenge on the one who took my brother from me… at least I'm gonna see him again… all my friends take care and live good lives." Kagura braced herself for the impact of the razor sharp claws that would end her life. She waited with eyes closed for what seemed like an eternity all she could hear was the screeching of assailants and the roars of the dragons raging through the skies until she heard a familiar voice louder than all of them.

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROMA!" he roared as he came down upon the draconian creatures in a fiery explosion engulfing them all burning them all to ashes. The stood with his back towards Kagura, the top half of his body exposed as his clothing had been completely shredded it also bore various cuts and scars but what really stood out about this person in Kagura's eyes was the way the fire wrapped itself around parts of his body, the scaly white scarf around his neck and the mop of spiky rose coloured hair.

She knew of only one man in all of Fiore who had pink hair "Natsu Dragneel" she muttered before losing consciousness. "Kagura!" he shouted fear etched in his voice seeing the pool of blood she was in. Flipping her over on her back he could now see her would and that it was still leaking blood, "shit gotta seal this up, this is gonna hurt so don't come hunting for my head afterwards." But he got no response.

Lift the bottom of her shirt up so that it fully exposed her stomach giving him better access to the wound. Coating his hand in fire preparing to cauterize the wound, swiftly placing his flame coated he sealed up the wound much Kagura's pain, while unconscious she could still feel the immense pain even for a moment.

After removing his hand Natsu could see that the wound had closed up but he became immensely scared when her chest wasn't rising and he could no longer hear her heartbeat. He didn't know what to do he swore to himself he wasn't going to let anybody die tonight and he sure as hell wasn't going to let Kagura die.

"What the fuck do I do, if I don't do something quick then she's as god as dead, but what can I…wait that thing Igneel told me about." It suddenly occurred to him the mighty Igneel told there was something that could be done when someone is in a death like state, it is possible to bring them back using a technique only dragons and dragonslayers are capable of.

The technique in question is the marking of someone as your mate but in order to do so you have to have strong emotions our connections to that person be consciously or subconsciously, but once that person is marked you marked for life as a piece of your soul will become part of them whether the technique is successful or not, you only get one mate and one chance.

By no means did this put Natsu, the concept of Kagura being his mate slightly scared him but in his eyes she was beautiful any man would be lucky to have her, People accused Natsu of being an idiot not knowing anything about anything especially romance but that was just who Natsu pretended to because he could fit in easier with the guild.

"One chance at a mate, one chance to save her life succeed or fail all it costs me is a bit of my soul…sounds fair." Covering his fangs in his magic he bits into her neck piercing the skin binding his magic along with the piece of his soul to hers. Retracting his fangs from her neck Natsu waited with baited breath to see if the technique had worked or not.

"Come on dammit work" Natsu said through gritted teeth. He then noticed a red seal appear on her neck that had some intricate black markings through it. He noticed the seal start to glow a blinding red colour and then fade away before he heard Kagura coughing back into consciousness. As she opened her eyes she was greeted by the face of her saviour, his eyes were red and puffy as if he'd been crying.

"Natsu…huh" was she could say as she was pulled into a warm embracing hug, normal I somebody did this she'd tear them limb from limb, but having Natsu hug her felt so right he was warm it made her feel safe, but she couldn't help but be embarrassed at the closeness of their proximity. She was then further caught off guard when he began to speak to her, "Thank Igneel it worked…I actually managed to save you." He said with a shaky voice and a tear rolling down his cheek.

"Natsu…w-what are you talking about?" She questioned stuttering with her words which he found cute. Not wanting to say exactly what he did in fear of getting skewered he just winged his answer "You were under attack but were badly injured and your wound opened wider when I found you. However you fell unconscious due to blood loss so I had to cauterize your wound, but then stopped breathing so I performed CPR." He said scratching the back of his head.

"I d-died…and you brought me back" she said aloud, she had him pegged for an idiot like everyone else did but after hearing what he did and seeing how he felt that he was able to save her made a smile pave its way across her face. Seeing this Natsu completely forgot about the whole end of the world situation they were in seeing the irregular smile on her face, he had to admit that it suited it and that it was a shame she didn't smile more often however he was soon snapped out of his thoughts by a thunderous voice.

"Natsu hurry up we have to defeat Rogue and the other dragons or don't you want to make Igneel proud?" boomed the voice of the Hell-fire dragon Atlas Flame. "Who the hell do you think you talking too? I'm gonna beat that future knock off senseless and send the dragons packing." The dragonslayer exclaimed punching his flame coated fist into the palm of his hand.

Turning his attention to Kagura Natsu picked her up princess style and carried to a group of wizards he saw running towards them. "N-N-Natsu what are you doing?" she stuttered out of embarrassment the usual stoic woman now replaced by a stuttering mess. "Making sure you're safe before I leave to kick Rogue's ass."

He handed Kagura over Jura Neekis and Lyon Vastia knowing he could trust Lyon and the wizard saint to keep her safe. "Remember keep fighting to a minimum, I don't know how well you wound will hold out, so try to sit out the fighting if possible then after this is over we can get Wendy and Chelia to heal you probably.

Flashing her his cheesy smile he melted any worries she had that caused he to let him go, she knew she could trust him, she wanted to thank him but she believed that they would get a chance after this was all over however said chance didn't arrive as throughout the entire of the victory party she was either being suffocated by Erza, couldn't find the dragonslayer or felt like any time she saw him he was avoiding her. The night pressed on but her chance never came, however she did find out some stuff about Salamander like how he was the one who defeated Jellal and practically destroyed the Tower of Heaven which gave her all the more reason to thank the pinkette for doing more for than anyone has ever done.

Flashback End

"Oh that…hehe…don't mention it, I would do anything to save the life of a friend" he said with a cheesy smile, his words made her feel a warm comfort that she hadn't felt in a long time. "But I also have to thank you for something else." "Huh?" taking in a deep breath she started to explain, "Seven years ago you defeated the man who I have dedicated my life to killing, that man is Jellal Fernandez…" Natsu was rendered speechless, while he may not have been in control of his actions he still things that Natsu couldn't forgive, making Erza cry, killing Simon bringing harm upon Fairytail he couldn't forgive but he was able to give him a second chance.

"I see, back then I myself had a deep hatred for that man, he brought harm upon my guild, he made Erza cry but worst of all because I wasn't strong enough Simon died protecting us from him. I wanted to kill him, I wanted to but I couldn't do it's just the way I was brought up." He said through gritted teeth.

"He was my brother"

"Eh?"

"Simon he was my brother, that's the other thing I wanted to thank you for, Simon died because he wanted to protect his friends and I know he would've died happy knowing his sacrifice wasn't in vain, you defeated Jellal and Destroyed the Tower of Heaven the monument that represented all my families pain and misery. Thanks to you my brother was able to rest peacefully and the tower that was filled with the pain and misery of so many was destroyed, I can't tell you how grateful…I…am from the bottom of my heart thank you." She said as she launched herself at the seated dragonslayer tears streaming from her face.

Processing everything that had just been said he returned the embrace and replied "found you, I promised him I would and now I finally have." He said with a shaky voice while he may not have known Simon all too well, and didn't know Kagura that well either he couldn't help but tear up slightly. Simon believed in him, laid his life on the line to protect him and Erza and entrusted his sister's life to him. In his last moments Natsu felt as though everything about the person he was conveyed in his last action making it seem as if he had known him his whole life.

Natsu knew Kagura as an incredible fighter, who when during their fights with the dragon's he discovered had an irresistibly cute side to her, but even seeing her fight the dragon's and dragon spawn while Injured putting her life on the line reminded her about Simon, her willingness to protect her comrades no matter what it also reminded him about himself which told him all he needed to know about her. Looking up into is eyes she could see the tears in his eyes and couldn't form any words as the tears just continued to flow.

"It's all right to cry, crying doesn't mean you're weak it just means you've been too strong for too long." He told her the shake still present in his voice, hearing his words she just left everything out in that moment and buried her head in the crook of his neck while he just sat there holding her around her back with one arm and placed the other hand on the back of her head.

As the train came to a stop they came to a stop they both got off much too the dragonslayers relief, he was proud he was actually able to hold a conversation with the ace of Mermaid Heel for as long as he did. As the pair walked through the town of clover that had expanded greatly since Natsu's last visit there during the Lullaby incident, he looked around feeling a sense of nostalgia hit him.

"Wow this place has changed so much since I was last here and accidently destroyed it" he said chuckling at the last bit. "Wait that was you I heard it was a demon from the book of Zeref." She said in disbelief which some vanished after remembering who she was talking too, a demon from the book of Zeref was an angelic saint compared to the destruction Natsu caused wherever he set foot. "Yeah brings back some good memories… but hopefully I can put them behind me." He said in a pained tone.

"So why did you get off the train with me, I've got to do a job request here in town so what about you?" She said her features softening in to a curious look. Natsu had noticed that she had dropped her stoic expressionless face and had now been letting more emotion etch onto her face and into her voice causing the dragonslayer to smile at this side of her.

"Well since I'm no longer in a guild money may be an issue in the future, like the far future I took all the money I had saved over the past few years, all 200 million jewels." He said a cocky grin plastering his face knowing the reaction he was about to receive, no-one in Fairytail not even happy knew how much money the slayer had so naturally he couldn't wait to see the reaction.

"2-2-200 million, how the hell did you get all that, I'm an S-class wizard and it would take me at 2-3 years to earn that much, how does a non S-class mage earn that much money not to mention who has to pay for property damage almost every mission?!" She shouted her face frozen with shock the sheer amount of money mentioned.

"Oh how I wish I had a camera lacrima on me now" he thought to himself. "Simple I always ate at the guild or caught my own food meaning food budget was minimal if nothing. Secondly I only bought clothes during sales and make sure every item last as long as possible and lastly I never really buy anything and save it up for the right occasion, you know us dragons love are jewel." He replied sheepishly before turning to her.

"And I'm here because I'm fulfilling a promise to an old friend plus I want to help out on your mission, I don't want any money I just want to vent out some pent up anger. If that's okay with you?" Natsu told her although he seemed a little flustered at the last bit and didn't know why. Accepting his answer she nodded and replied "Sure I don't mind, it will be interesting I mean I saw you fight the twin dragons yourself, the entire time you were toying with them and you didn't use your full power against them. Rumours have it that you have a special power and I'd like to see it in battle so I guess now is a good a chance as any."

Truthfully that was only partially the reason for accepting his request to join her she actually had been enjoying his company the last hour or so and didn't want to part ways so his asking saved her the embarrassment of asking inviting him. "Sweet! What sort of job is?" He asked with enthusiasm laced in his voice.

"It's an S-class mission, in the forest behind the town some of the civilians have been having trouble with a horde of green forest Wyverns. As herbivores they ravage the crops and attack anybody near them in order to defend the food. I was on my way to do this job when I ran into you." She explained in a chill neutral tone of voice.

"So what are we waiting for lets contact the informant and get on with our Wyvern hunt." He said energetically as he grabbed her by the hand and dragged her in some random direction not bothering to ask where the client lived. However that wasn't what was going through Kagura's head right now she was thinking about the fact that she was being led by a boy, one that was dragging her along by the hand giving her smiles that would literally make one's heart skip a beat. Her face was beet red with steam coming from her eyes as she thought about all the different scenarios that could play out from this situation.

Kagura wasn't opposed to these situation like she thought she would be, she had to admit to herself Natsu was a good looking guy, slightly taller than herself, well-built and muscular, incredibly powerful, kind, caring and compassionate to his friends as well as others. Then there was his hair, she had to admit that he suited his pink hair better than most girls would suit the colour. Yep in her eyes the dragonslayer was a once in a life time catch, however she realised had it been any other male she probably would have castrated them and then seriously maimed them leaving them for dead.

How about we fast forward to the job?

"Great work Kagura now hold him in place with your gravity!" Natsu shouted to his partner, currently the two had decimated a large proportion of the Horde of Wyverns and are now currently dealing with the last three. "Okay, Gravity X50!" Kagura shouted in response knowing what the slayer intended to do. A crushing weight then came down upon the draconian creature bringing it to its knees and the ground beneath it to cave in.

"Now's my chance" he said before Jumping up high entering the field of Gravity with a flame coated fist. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist" he roared before entering the gravity field that sent him plummeting towards the Wyvern at insane speeds to the increased gravity which the downward force of increased the strength of his punch so much that he crushed the skull of the draconian creature.

Releasing the gravity field upon the sudden explosion Kagura could now see an exhausted dragonslayer standing beside the motionless body of the Wyvern. She herself was quite exhausted as well, although nowhere near as tough as Dragons the Wyverns were definitely tough each one posed a problem for the two wizards. Eventually though they found their rhythm in the battle and the creature began to fall one by one until now only two remained.

Walking up to him she stood right beside Natsu wondering what his next move would be as she saw the remaining two wyverns approach them. "What now, were both a bit low on magic energy so this could get more difficult?" she asked in between breathes. Smirking at her question he chuckled a little. "How about I show you that special power of mine? You might want to stand back a bit." He said to his partner with noticeable confidence present in his voice and the aura that just seemed to exude from him.

Doing as she was told she got back out of his way and watched in anticipation "what are you doing?" she asked herself but her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Natsu's voice shout "SECOND ORIGIN RELEASE!" In that moment she felt all of Natsu's magic energy return greater than before "What…he replenished his magic…how?" again her thoughts were interrupted when the dragonslayer roared something out.

"Lightning Flame Dragon Mode!" Kagura watched as Lightning fused with dark red and orange flames, she could feel the magic power he was creating all the way from where she stood and she had to admit it was incredible. "So this is his hidden ability…dual elements." She said aloud as she watched in awe which only increased when she seen him ingest the Lightning coated flame aura that surrounding. As he arc his back he drew sturdy stance and paused for a moment allowing the Wyverns to get closer and then unleashed the attack he was holding back.

"Lightning Flame Dragon's…Rooaaarrr!" the slayer shouted out followed by an enormous breath attack that consisted of a torrent of crimson red and orange flames surrounded by lightning that arced around the flames like a net. The roar exuded enormous amounts of magical energy and kicked up gale force winds that blew Kagura on to the ground.

The lightning coated flames tore through the earth until arriving at the Intended targets which stood in fear only to be incinerated seconds later leaving only ashes. If Natsu had to admit this roar was probably his most powerful and devastating attack, it's power surpassed that of his most powerful secret art techniques even those while in dragon force. That said he knew while in dragon force he was physically dragon and his body's endurance increased but lightning flame mode was more powerful in terms of speed and ranged attacks.

After the roar there was a large portion of the forest gone, the forest floor was torn up and charred and there were fallen trees that were a light. Kagura stood in awe amazed at the power of his attack, the damaged caused and fact he took out the two Wyverns leaving nothing but ashes with one devastating roar. "Damn that takes a toll, I feel like Cana when she has a hangover" the pinkette complained as he stumbled a bit towards Kagura after the impressive display.

"Ugh…come on time to get your money." He said clutching his head in mild discomfort "Amazing, why did you not use that against the future Rogue?" Kagura questioned gaining the attention of the slayer. "I used the form, but he mortally seriously wounded me before I could roar, he was also capable of dual elements and had seven years' experience on me but if I was able to land one roar I could have defeated him easily, however saying that I'm still new to my dual element form and my roar especially drains me immensely magically, physically and in terms of stamina." He replied as his face grimaced at everything future Rogue caused and him not being able to stop him sooner.

"Well enough of this moping lets go collect your reward" he repeated and the two went to collect Kagura's reward. After doing so the two sat on a bench in silence both physically exhausted however the silence was broke by Natsu. "Do you still want revenge against Jellal, do you still wish to take his life?" he asked a bit taken back by his question she just sat in silence lowering her head towards the ground her hair shadowing her eyes.

"I do…I know of his circumstances Erza told me that he himself wasn't responsible for his actions but was being manipulated. Still I can't help but want revenge even though I shouldn't, I lost my parents, my brother all my friends everything, huh what am I saying it's not like you feel the same way." Natsu's face then turned into a saddened one hearing her words, if anyone could sympathize with her it was him.

"Actually I know exactly how you feel"

"Eh?"

"I was raised by a dragon and have now memory of my biological parents, was told that I was found outside a burning village where most likely my parents died, my first and best friend in Fairytail died when I could have done something about it but it turned out she was absorbed into a different world so we missed out on two years of life together. Then there was Jellal who caused so much pain for my guild so of course I wanted him dead, but he became my ally when he helped me defeat the Master of Oracion Seis and is now trying to redeem himself by ridding the world of darkness, although I can't forgive him for the harm he caused to Fairytail, or for taking Simon's life I can give him a second chance. But then there's…." He hesitated for moment allowing Kagura to take in everything he said

"My guild or ex-guild who couldn't trust me, who couldn't believe me not like they ever knew who I was before, and it's not like I haven't thought about revenge I still do, but I could never bring myself to go through with it. They're my family they always will be besides there are still people there that I care about. So I get how you feel I truly do but don't let your desire for revenge take control of your life, it is a wasted thing even if you take your revenge what then will you live life like you never took a his life, don't let revenge rule you take control of yourself and replace revenge with purpose." Natsu said with a wise tone in his voice while he looked towards the sky

Kagura was fighting the need to cry, she remembered what he said earlier about crying but she had cried a lot already today but was taken by surprise when Natsu got up a said "well I better get going there's someone out there who is framing me using magic that looks like mine, guess I'll just have to change a few things about my fire then before I go looking for him, anyway it was great hanging out with you today I had a lot of fun and I feel like I got to see the real Kagura today so take care bye."

However he didn't get far when he felt two slender arms wrap around him and felt something soft press against his back. He knew who the arms belonged to which caused him to blush as he could hear her gently sobbing into the back of his vest. "H-how do you expect me to do that by myself, don't make me do this alone you're the only one who understands the real me I don't want to be an emotionless machine. Please we can help each other, join Mermaid Heel and we'll help clear your name!" She said through her sobbing fear, sadness a whole array of emotions etched through her voice that conveyed who she really was. Any efforts to hold back tears seemed futile now as the river that was her emotions burst her banks.

Natsu was more than taken back by her request he could hear the fear, the desperation and the sincerity in her voice, it amazed him how this women could continue to surprise him. Her thought about it seemed like a good idea, after all he had yet to tell her of that, plus she needed his help and with hers and her guild's he would be able to clear his name faster, he already had friends in the all-female guild and thought it would be nice to be treated like family again. But then it hit him all-female guild meant no males how would he join.

"Kagura I would like that very much but isn't Mermaid heel an all-female guild if so I can't join your guild." He answered and immediately her mood perked up upon hearing his answer. "While it's true that we are an all-female guild men can join, if they couldn't the council could charge us of sexism, so men can join as long as they don't perv on the female mages but I doubt you'd do that and being backed up by me practically ensures you a place in the guild so lets go." She said taking his hand smiling at him leading him to the train.

Smiling in turn at here to her the two broke out in to a full on sprint towards the train station with Natsu shouting "Mermaid Heel here I come!"

Never had the swords woman felt so comfortable being herself than with Natsu would Natsu be the light in her life that will help her come out of her shell so she can finally be herself around everyone she cares about find out in our journey of fulfilling promises, clearing Names and truths.

A/U

Okay so there my first Nagura fanfic finished and it was way longer than I intended but I was listening to my music so the writing just kept flowing. Kagura is more OC in this but that is due to the whole bond thing and being around Natsu, she'll be more like herself around others while slowly transitioning to the real OC Kagura while still keeping elements of her other personality. Okay if you liked it then review, fav, follow the whole sha-bang-bang for now this is chaosdragonslayer777 signing out.
