Chapter 1
Leah Bennett, or at least that was the name she was going by now, wanders around Hargeon Port happily. It had been laughably easy to cast the spells to keep her family, including Chris, from tracking her down. Getting her currency changed was easy enough to, and until she could join a guild she would take up babysitting jobs, or maybe a job as a short order cook. Eyes as green as her older brother and Aunt Prue's smile in merriment. She was finally free of her oppressive family, left no means for them to find her, and the Elders hated Fiore, and the countries similar to it because they didn't hide the use of magic. Then there was the fact that she had secretly been trained as a dragon slayer, and not just any dragon slayer either. She had been trained as a Hell Fire Dragon Slayer, which meant she had also been taught how to use normal flames as well. This made eating her element much easier since she could just use a match to light a fire, or a lighter. Eating the fireballs demons threw at her was so damned amusing as well.
She swings into the local magic shop, and buys a pair of ignition gloves which could fuel her up for eternity. She was grateful any flames could fuel her Hell Fire flames, or she would be fucked. She also gets a jacket that would adapt to any climate, and never rip, Fairy Tail tested apparently, keeping her entire body at an appropriate temperature. Yes, she could keep herself warm at all times, but not having to use her magic like that would be nice. She scoffs when she sees the idiot pretending to be Fairy Tail's Salamander. She knew better, she'd met the pink haired idiot after all. No one knew this since Natsu had dyed his hair whenever he was her date to dances, used colored contacts, and changed his style of clothing, along with his accent, and diction. The first time they'd met had been an accident, she'd pyroported away from danger, her mother sadly enough, and landed right in front of the Fire Dragon Slayer.
After that they'd stayed in contact through communication lacrimas that Natsu had saved up for, she'd taught him how to use Pyroportation, which meant they could date all they wanted once they were older, and not have to deal with the Halliwell Clan. Since her well meaning older brother Chris had no clue what her boyfriend actually looked like there was jackshit he could do about it. She snaps her hand out to grab onto a certain scarf before the pink haired mage could incite a riot with the bespelled women, " Your senses must be off, Natsu, otherwise you would have already noticed me. "
Onyx eyes widen at the voice filled with amusement, " Shit, Leah, I was too focused on the rumor I'm checking out. "
" Yeah, we heard there was a Salamander... " Happy, the blue talking cat starts to say.
" Did it ever occur to either one of you someone, namely the moron in the ring of bespelled women, is impersonating Natsu, whom is the Salamander of Fairy Tail? " Leah asks them both while face palming.
Natsu curses under his breath, he really needed to stop doing such impulsive things before his girlfriend killed him for it. " You're telling me that pathetic bastard is sullying my name, my reputation? "
The deadpan look she gave him was almost brutal, " Yes, I am, and he is also running a sex trafficking ring, I sometimes hate being a telepath. "
Natsu snarls under his breath, " How we gonna play this? "
Leah sighs as she rubs her temples, " First, get me some place where I can actually hear myself think. Then I'll see if I can't come up with an incantation to deal with your damned motion sickness. Hell Fire dragons don't take their kids flying so I don't have that problem. "
Natsu rolls his shoulders before draping an arm around hers, leading her away from the crowd, sending Happy to get them some not fish food. Once in a relatively secluded part of Hargeon the pair end up cuddled together on a bench. Leah only really relaxed around Natsu, and Chris. She knew her older brother was going to kill her for this, but she couldn't stand being at home anymore, San Francisco was not her home. Her home was with Natsu, and Happy. Taking advantage of her telepathy the pair work out their plan easily enough. They fill Happy in when he brings them their food, and he had gotten a dark chocolate and peanut butter milkshake for Leah as well. Neither Natsu nor Happy were pleased with the plan they had come up with. Natsu was really not thrilled with letting his girlfriend walk into the lion's den if she had graduated Phoebe Halliwell's School for Demon Ass Kicking. Yes, all the next generation did call it that.
Leah had never really been close to any of her family except for Chris, like Chris she also remembered the alternate timeline, and he had always been there for her. He would understand why she had to get away, even if he didn't like it. She'd written him one last letter in their code, one that only they would know. Leah rolls her eyes at her other half, neither failed to make sure to renew their marks on each other, they weren't mates, but they were intended. The couple was nowhere near ready for parenthood, and their luck she would end up pregnant when they fully claimed each other. Natsu had no problems with renewing his mark on her, because it meant that no other male dragon slayer that happened to be decent would even think about touching her.
He knew she kept her mark glamoured simply to keep unpleasant, and unwanted questions from being asked. His was hidden by the scarf his adoptive father had given him. Her dragon had given her the wristbands that she wore every single day without fail, changing their colors with the ColorS spell he had gotten for her birthday, she'd glamoured them previously until she started getting bitched at for personal gain.
That was part of the reason why she had left, so she could finally use her magic without having to worry about personal gain. The Elders never came to this area of the world since non magicals actually accepted those with magic, and even paid them for their help. That went against everything the Elders stood for after all. " You sure you want to do this, Leah? " Natsu asks her.
Leah nuzzles into his neck, " I'll be all right, you're not the only dragon slayer here, ya know, Natsu. "
The pink haired mage sighs at this very well put point from his girlfriend, " Doesn't mean I have to like it, Leah. "
Leah rolls her eyes once more before she wanders off though she did cast the spell she had come up with under her breath to deal with his motion sickness, one that she had worded very carefully so he wouldn't get used to it, and would last for a week. Mostly so they could ride the damned train to Magnolia, and she could join Fairy Tail quicker. Of course, even the best laid plans get screwed to hell and back. Some of the bastard's men had grabbed onto her, and before she could get out of their hold Natsu busted in, causing them to shove her roughly, head first, mind you, into the wall. This in turn got her trapped under the debris of Natsu's entrance, her left shoulder getting a pipe lodged in it. The Hell Fire Dragon Slayer ignites her entire body, she'd had to buy a fireproof dress for this, blasting out of the debris pile, and melting the damn pipe in her shoulder before slamming a Hell Fire Dragon's Iron Fist into the face of the bastard whom had shoved her into the wall to begin with, and immediately launches into a back handspring to avoid a new attacker, " Can you ever do something without overdoing it, you've already got me, stop the damn showing off already. "
Natsu winces, " Sorry, didn't mean for that to happen. "
Leah rolls her eyes before sending a fireball his way that he slurps up immediately, freaking out the men present. Happy was getting the other women off the ship while they dealt with the traffickers. Natsu keeps his hearing on Leah, she'd taken a rather hard hit to the head, even a dragon slayer would go down if hit hard enough over the head. Well, in the case of male dragon slayers getting kicked in the gonads was enough to take them down as well. The blonde, she'd gotten the color from her father, rolls her shoulders as she takes down several more idiots without using magic. Unlike most mages she made sure to stay in shape, and she knew how to use weapons as well. Natsu had sent her books on Requip magic so she use it to call forth weapons. He had several waiting for her at his place since he couldn't send those, she had let him know which weapons she had mastered, and had her training weapons with her.
She was really hoping to get some books on Combustion Magic as well, even if she did have the means to make her own explosives. Once they have the men rounded up, tied up, and knocked out they Pyroport with them to shore where the Knights are interviewing the women. For once Natsu actually got paid the full amount, and he wasn't even on the job. Though he did share half with Leah, whom he identified as a future Fairy Tail mage. They brought one of their healers over to check her out, and the man healed her up immediately. Leah thanks him, and the three head out after getting dinner. Natsu was just glad to actually be able to experience using transportation without feeling the need to barf. Instead he had his girlfriend snuggled up against him while they let themselves drift off to sleep. Natsu knew he'd wake up when the train stopped moving, soon enough he would finally have a partner to take along on jobs.
