Hey there, I just watch a very cute and emotional anime-movie called 'Hotarubi no Mori e' and the I thought about using the story line from it for a NaLu story. So I worte this and hope you will like it. I don't know if this stroy will become a good one so please tell me in the end what you think.

Also please know that yokais are not only demons, they can also be spirits or other mystic creatures and they are not always bad ones.

Again like with all my other storys I am really sorry for every mistake, I am still from german and my english is still not the best.

Disclaimer: I sadly don't own Fariy Tail neither do I own Hotarubi no Mori e, it all belonges to the originals.

The yokai I fell in love with

Lucy POV

"Lucy! Don't forget your bag!" My mother yelled at me as I put on my shoes. She brought me a light blue back and in her hands were a sky blue sunhat.

"Don't doze off in the train again like last year. Don't forget your bag and don't speak with any strangers you don't know!" My mother said again a worried look in her face and I giggled.

"Don't worry mom. I am not six years anymore. I am in my last high school year, remember?" I smiled at her and I grabbed my bags and hung them over my shoulder. I was about to leave as my mom stopped me again.

"Lucy! Wait take this sunhat with you so that you don't get a heat stroke. It is still hot outside and…" I laughed as I didn't let her finish. I just run outside. I saw her following me till to the door step. I turned around and waved.

"Don't worry so much! It isn't the first time I visit uncle alone!"

I always looked forward to the summer, because that was the time could visit my uncle, the time I also would see him again. I remembered, the first time I meet him was when I was six years old.

(A/N From here on Lucy is six years old)

I was sitting in a forest of Gods Mountain, my family was visiting my uncle and I was playing carelessly in the forest till I got lost. I started crying, because of loneliness and feeling scared. My sobs and hiccups were the only thing heard from me. That was when I heard him the first time.

"Oi! Chibi? Why are you crying?"

I looked up and observer the place around me. I could see him at first but then I spotted him standing there some meters away behind a tree and still looking at me. He was clearly older than me. Maybe he was already in high school. His pink hair was easily to see and he wore a black vest with white trousers and black sandals. His face was hidden behind a dragon like mask.

For minutes we just started at each other before I started to run, I ran with outstretched hands. I wanted to hug him for finding me in this forest, a feeling of relieve washed over me and I cried out: "It a person! I am saved!"

Just as I thought I would hug him he stepped aside and I feel to the ground, leafs and grass stuck into my blond hair and I looked at him with a why-did-you-do-this frown. I saw him back away a bit and he started mumbling something.

"Sorry…" was the first thing I could make out of his words. "…but you are a human child, aren't you?" I looked surprised and confused at him.

"If a human touches me, I will disappear…"

"If a human….? Onii-san? You're not human?"

"I am something that lives in the forest here!" His voice sounded proud and sad at the same time.

"Then you're a yokai!" I smiled and suddenly I was really excited but then I suddenly was very thought full. I looked confused up to him and tilted my head to the side. "But… what did you mean by disappear?"

He said nothing and we just started at each other. I stretched my hand out for him but he stepped aside. I tried again and again, I found fun in it trying to touch him but he always stepped away. I laughed, it was like a game for me. I tried again but then suddenly something hard connected with my forehead and I fell to the ground, holding my hands to the place that hurt.

"Ouch!" I mumbled, and small tears formed in the corners of my closed eyes. "Now I believe it. No human would hit a child like that!"

"To disappear means to disappear. What's so hard to understand? If you touch me I am gone, like not here anymore… uh like you will never see me again." He looked up into the sky, the sun shone down through leafs of the trees and for a moment he looked like a real dragon to me. "That's the spell that idiot of a mountain god placed upon me."

Suddenly he held his index finger up to me and I looked stunned at him. "That's why no human should touch me! So don't you dare to try again or I will hit you with that stick a second time!"

I finally stood up and bowed a bit, mumbling a "I am sorry…" I didn't hear him stepping closer but then he suddenly held that piece of wood out to me but his mask faced another direction.

"Grab the end of the stick! Chibi!" I pouted a bit when he called me chibi again. "You're still lost here, right? I will lead you out of the forest!"

I suddenly had a cheered up and smiled at him, before I started sprinting again. "THANK YOU!"

He ran a bit from me before he hit me with his stick again. I fell again to the ground a rolled one time so that I lay on my stomach, holding again my forehead with my hands.

"Can't you listen?!" He half yelled half panted from the run and I again could only mumble an apology. I could help it I was so grateful that he still wanted to help me out of the forest despite the fact that he could disappear forever if I touch him. In that moment I forgot what he told me and I just wanted to hug him.

A bit later we walked along a path which leaded to the center of the forest, a small shrine made of stones. We hold onto each other over the wooden stick and from time to time I stole a glance of him. I wondered how he looked like without the mask.

"It's just like going on a date!" I laughed as I skipped down the stone stairs.

He snored and I giggled again. "Then it is not one bit romantic."

I heard him chuckle deeply and I could stop then to giggle. I hopped down again some stairs. It was quiet between us again. It wasn't this awkward silence, it was a nice one which everyone could enjoy.

"You're… not afraid?" I suddenly heard him mumble and looked up at him happy to see him scratching the back of his head.

"Huh? Why?" I asked back curious to why I should be afraid. I only heard a "Never mind." as answer.

On the big stone gates he stopped, I wondered why and looked up to him again. I wanted to say something until I heard his slightly sad voice. "If you go straight, you will hit the mountains path. So bye."

I went ahead but then I turned around to look back at him. Something went into my mind and I could help but ask: "Onii-san? Are you always going to be here? If I come back here, can we meet again?"

He didn't say anything for a while but then he finally answered me. "This is the forest where the mountain god and spirits live. Set foot within and you will only get lose again you idiot and then maybe forever. So better don't come again."

I looked at him for a while longer, the way the sunset let the light fall on him. The way he was standing there. I could see loneliness. I then stood up straight and smiled at him.

"I'm Lucy Heartphilia. You?"

Again we just looked at each other. He didn't move a bit and thanks to that mask I could see any emotions in his face. The wind blow a bit stronger and then I felt a strange feeling I didn't really like. The way his mask looked for me right now scared me a bit and I stepped back a little. But still I wanted to meet him again.

"Anyway, I'll be back tomorrow with a thank-you present! Bye!"

When I ran down the way I suddenly heard him again. "It's Natsu."

I stopped and looked back but he wasn't standing there anymore. When I finally came home my uncle scowled me a bit for coming back so late and getting lost in the mountains forest. When I asked him about the spirits there he told me something. He said that he himself had looked for them when he was a my age but never really saw one. I just started thinking about Natsu again.

I couldn't stop, even in the night when I was supposed to sleep I couldn't stop thinking and I hoped that when I went up there tomorrow again…

That when I go there again… I would meet Natsu again.

So hope you liked it and please leave me a review if I should continue this story or if I should just drop it. Cause I don't know if this will become good or not. But if I continue this story then don't worry I will let it end not the same way 'Hotarubi no Mori e' ended.

So thanks for reading and please leave a review.
