Chapter 1
It was just a simple mission, Natsu and Happy would only be gone for a week. After a long period of missions together with his team, Natsu decided to test his abilities and wanted to do a job on his own only together with Happy, like in the old days. It was easy, go to the town, beat some bad guys, try not to destroy too much, go to the mayor, get the reward (or pay some things extra) and go back to the guild to tell her how awesome he was and impress her a bit, not that he hadn't planned this from the beginning when he took that mission. So there was no big deal. That was what he thought until he entered the guild and saw a little boy clenching onto her chest, pressing his little face into her boobs while making it wet with his tears. Ok no ground to be jealous right? It was just a little boy, what could that boy possible do? Boy was Natsu wrong with that thought…
Three days ago.
"Ne, Lu-chan. Who is that cute boy clenching onto your leg?" Levy asked curious, kneeling down to get a better look of the little boy. His hair was black just like Grays, he had sky blue eyes and pouted in a very cute way as he looked up to Lucy.
"He is soooooo cute!" Mira came in taking the boy in her arms for a tight huge. Lucy giggled as she saw the boy trying to escape Miras death grip on him.
"His name is Hiro. He is the five years old son of an old friend from my mother and I will take care of him for some days." Lucy answered Levy who was also now trying to help the boy escape.
"Lucy-neeeeeee! Help me!" The boy whined.
"Alright." She smiled.
"Mira, could you cook something for us. We have a long trip behind us and I am sure that he must be very hungry right now."
"Yay!" Hiro cheered as Mira released him.
"Ok. Tell me Hiro what do you want to eat?" Hiro who was suddenly behind Lucy, looked up at the white haired women, he was at first to scared of another death hug but then he answered, "Pasta!".
"Aww, he is sooooo cute. Take a seat; I will be back in no time with your food!" and with this Mira disappeared in the kitchen.
The news that Lucy would take care of a five years old boy for some days spread out very fast in the guild and soon Lucy was bombard with questions. Some guild mates made jokes about if the child was hers and Grays kid, because of his looks which made Juvia cry and drawn almost the guild. Thanks to Makarov Hiro was safe before he was drawn, also the boy seemly liked the attention he got from the females and the Master but it was soon clear that he preferred to stay near Lucy and he had something against all the men who came too near at Lucy.
"Oi Lucy! If you have to take care of that boy how will you go on missions?" Gray asked as he sat down next to Lucy, watching the little boy who got some cake from Erza which was a wonder to everyone in the guild. Erza normally wouldn't give anyone a piece of her cake, she would rather kill them if they even try to get one.
"I asked the Master and for now I will take a break from going on missions also Natsu is out on a solo mission right now so there shouldn't be any problems." Lucy answered, smiling down at Hiro who got attached to her arm. Lucy didn't notice but every time when she wasn't looking at him, Hiro glared draggers at Gray or any other male who came near her.
But the others noticed it and Gray somehow started to feel unconformable with that boy around. As Gray looked at the boy a bit closer he could see a smirk on his face. In an instant he knew that this did mean something terrible.
"Lucy-nee? Didn't you say that here are awesome mages in this guild?" Hiro asked completely innocent and Lucy nodded to his question. "But all I can see is a stripping boy, a metal eating punk, an old man smoking, a man with long green hair like a girl has, a guy who stuck his tongue out and mama told me that this is bad to do and that wired guy shouting something about being a man, whatever he means by that."
Hiro purposely only named males, he liked the women in this guild also some of them were creepy but he didn't dislike them like the males. For example there was that creepy blue haired girl which glared at them since that half naked guy was sitting by them. She had set the guild under water but for him it was fun so he couldn't find a ground to dislike her as long as she wouldn't hurt his Lucy-nee.
The guild face palmed meanwhile, hearing what the little boy had said and Lucy also thought about what she should tell him.
"First of all…" She started. "Gray put your clothes on." Gray who freaked out, started to search for his clothes. "And second, they are all mages, each one is really strong. Believe me Hiro, Fairy Tail is the best guild you will ever see."
Hiro looked at Lucy getting in what she said.
"Lucy-nee? Can I go play with that ice-mage who you told me about?" Hiro asked with puppy eyes. All girls in Fairy Tail 'aw'-ed at this and Lucy sighed in defeat.
"Gray?" She walked over to him who was currently putting his shirt, he found under Erzas table for no reason, on again.
"Would you watch for me a bit after Hiro? He wants to play a bit with you and to see a bit of your magic, but only if it is ok with you." Gray looked skeptical from her to the boy. He didn't really trust that boy and he knew for his five year he was damn smart. Gray knew this from the moment on Hiro got a piece of cake from Erza and to get one from her without being beaten up means something.
"Why not? I will make sure he will see how great my ice-make magic is." He shrugged but in true he wanted to find out what the boy was after. Lucy smiled and went to her usual spot by the bar leaving Hiro in the hands of Gray. Hiro waited until Lucy was out of hearing range and until she faced them with her back. He turned around and glared at Gray who suddenly shivered by the little boys mood change.
"What are you to Lucy-nee?" He asked with an innocent voice but his look told something different.
"She is one of my friends?" Gray answered unsure but the boy's face lit up again.
"Really? Than would you show me pretty, pretty please something of your awesome magic? Lucy-nee told me great story about her adventure with you guys!"
Gray smirked. "Then take a careful look at this! Ice make: ..."
Present Time
Natsu stared at the boy in Lucy's arms who was crying heavily and Lucy who was calming him down. Natsu looked around in the guild, finding his rival/best friend as far away from the blond and the boy as possible together with other males of the guild. He went over to them wondering what has happened in the days he wasn't there.
"Oi! Ice freak? Who is that little boy over there by Luce? And why are you guys here and not over there?" He pointed at the tables near the blonde which were left empty only a few girls sitting here and there.
"Flame head! You're back!" Gray looked up with tired eyes at Natsu, he had no intention to fight him right now.
"That boy there is send from the devils. Thanks to him Lucy and the other girls beat the shit out of us." Gray pointed at the newest victim of the boy. Gajeel. He sat in the corner muttering something about a stupid brat he should beat up, a stupid bunny-girl who believed everything the brat said and a way to scary scarlet haired demon. He didn't dare to say something bad any louder and to risk that they would hear him, his whole body still hurt, thanks to the treating the two girls gave him for making that little boy 'cry'.
Natsu was confused and so he went over to Lucy, Macao was about to stop him but Gray hold him back and shook his head. "Flame head has to learn this the hard way if he doesn't believe us."
Lucy who had calmed down Hiro, meanwhile looked up to see Natsu coming. "Natsu! You're back! How was your mission?" Lucy smiled, it was one of the smiles Natsu liked the most, a smile Lucy would always give him when they came back from a mission and so he gave her his trade mark grin as answer.
Hiro who saw this tighten his grip on Lucy.
"Lucy-nee? Who is this?" He asked in a scared voice, and his eyes watered again. He wanted Lucy's attention.
"Ne, Hiro. I told you about the Salamander, haven't I? Well now it is time to meet him in person. This is Natsu Dragneel one of the strongest mages in Fairy Tail and my best friend." The word pained Natsu but he didn't show it.
Best friend he thought. Well better than being only a friend…
Happy who was sitting on Natsus shoulder flied down to the ground and looked at Hiro and Hiro looked at Happy.
"Aye! I am Happy and you are?" The blue cat greeted the boy whose eyes went wide.
"Flying, speaking cat!" He cried as he hugged Happy and looked up at Lucy.
"Haha, Hiro this is Happy an Exceed." Lucy explained.
"Exceed?" Hiro asked again but then shrugged. "Lucy-nee can I play with the black bear and this blue cat?"
Lily who shuddered suddenly flied over to Gajeel, hiding behind him. Lucy who saw that Lily was clearly against Hiros idea giggled a bit. "Happy, is that ok with you?"
The blue cat nod and grinned. "I can teach him everything about fish!"
"Don't even think about that and don't take him in the air, Happy! It is too dangerous for him!" She shouted after the two who went to go playing. Natsu laughed.
"You sound like and overprotective mother, Luce!" But he stopped when he saw her glaring at him.
"Hiro got scared enough from the others don't make it worse or he will start to hate magic!" She hissed and Natsu only nod. Counting one and one together Natsu figured out that Gray, Gajeel and the other must have scared the boy and Lucy and some others must have overreact by that.
"Hey! Can I show him my awesomeness later?" Natsu grinned widely. Gray who came nearer, now that the boy was somewhere else, heard that and snored.
"Show him your magic and he will start crying."
"I am not you, Ice block! He won't cry!"
"You're stupid aren't you?"
"And you're dumb!"
"You fire breathing idiot! Just once you should hear at what I am saying!"
"Pff! Like you ever said something important!"
"Why you…!"
"Bring it on! Snow flake!"
Natsu and Gray started fighting each other again, they completely forgot about Lucy who sighed. Both were lucky that Erza had just went out on a solo mission on her own but still the fighting of Gray and Natsu brought back the life into the guys and the guild went back to their normal behavior. Fighting, drinking, laughing, and destroying in short back to being loud and rowdy.
Hiro was standing by the door watching the chaotic guild. He and Happy had just come back from playing and Hiro didn't liked what he saw. He immediately searched for Lucy, afraid that she could get hurt in the chaos. Happy watched the boy curious, they were talking happily until he saw what was going on in the guild since then he hadn't spoken one word. Suddenly Hiro ran off to somewhere in the guild and Happy followed trying to protect the boy from flying stuff like chairs. He knew if Hiro got hurt, Lucy would skin him alive and Happy surely didn't want that to happen.
Just as Happy protected him from a flying mug (thrown by Cana who got annoyed by Grays and Natsus fight) the black haired little boy jumped up into the arms of a certain blond mage by the bar.
When Happy came nearer he heard that Lucy tried to hushed the boy and whispered comforting words into his ear. Hiro was crying hard into her arm and Happy couldn't get why he was crying. First of all just some minutes ago Hiro was all happy and secondly there was no ground to cry, right?
Lucy on the other hand took Hiro by his small hand and stood up from her chair while Hiro rubbed the remaining tears out of his eyes with his other hand. She smiled at him and walked out of the guild but not before she walked up to Natsu and Gray. Both stopped in their tracks when Lucy stood in front of them, still holding little Hiros hand.
Gray shivered and started searching for the next exit. Natsu only wondered why Gray suddenly was so nervous. It wasn't like Erza was there, it was only Lucy together with that boy in front of them. But suddenly he felt a glare on him and when he tried to figure out from where it came, his onyx eyes meet the sky blue one of the boy.
Is that brat glaring at me or do I image things now? Natsu question himself before he heard a whisper from his rival/best friend Gray. "You don't image things. This boy is glaring at us…"
Natsu looked stunned at Gray who had whispered this in such a low voice that Natsu could only hear it thanks to his dragon slayer powers.
"So do you guys like it to scare a little kid?" Lucy asked and both mages turned their attention back to her. "Um… you see Lucy… I didn't…" Gray knew one wrong word and he wouldn't be able to see the next morning.
"What are you talking about Luce?" Natsu asked, not getting the point at all.
"Oh well Natsu. I warned you about scaring Hiro and thanks to your fight Hiro is now afraid of the guild." Lucy said calm but Natsu could feel the dark aura. "Gray." She sighed. "I have told you it the first day when Hiro came here. Not to fight too much. Happy even had to protect him from flying things."
"Luce, I still don't get what is up with you? He is all save right? There shouldn't be a problem. Like you said Happy protected him."
A vein popped up on Lucy's head and everyone who wasn't as dense as Natsu could see the raising anger of the blond. The whole guild had stopped and started watching them. Hiro on the other hand started smirking but also gave Lucy a worried look. That was when an idea popped up in that little five years old kids brain.
He let go of Lucy's hand and walked forward until he stood in front of the Salamander. Lucy who was surprised at first was now worried about him. Natsu only eyed the boy confused while Gray slowly started to get away from there.
Suddenly Hiro kicked Natsus leg. Natsu let out a yelp of surprise and then he found himself on the ground the little boy sitting on him. Hiro started punching him with his tiny little fist but Natsu didn't really feel pain. Fake tears were rolling down Hiros cheeks and he started yelling at Natsu. "Don't make Lucy-nee upset! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you for making Lucy-nee upset!"
Everyone in the guild sweat dropped. They remembered Hiros first day here when they all had seen the exact same only that it was Gray who got punched by the little one. They eyed the blonde who also watched them surprised, but then slowly she felt her anger level raising.
"Oi! What are you talking about! I didn't make her upset!" Natsu argued back when he sat up not caring that the boy felt down from him onto the wooden floor, letting out a groan of pain. He slowly got annoyed by him, what does such a little brat knew about him? Nothing! This brat doesn't know how much Natsu cared about Lucy.
Hiro recovered fast from the pain and jumped up again, running over to Lucy. "Lucy-nee! I wanna go! Please bring me away from here! I hate it here!" The boy yelled while crying again. Lucy picked him up, holding Hiro tight in her arms.
"Now see what you have done Natsu! Thanks to you he hates it here now!" Lucy shot him a death glare which was as worse as the one Natsu normally got from Erza when she was very, very angry.
"I hope for you that I can convince him again that the guild isn't as bad as he thinks! Or else I will personally make sure that you will get punished for that!" with that Lucy left the even more confused fire mage behind. But when Natsu looked after her he could see Hiro sticking out his tongue at him while the boy mumbled something Lucy couldn't hear but Natsu could.
"Serves you right, idiot. Don't come nearer my Lucy-nee, she is mine."
And suddenly Natsu felt a very strange hate against a little boy, he never felt before. Little did he know that the following days would be the worst in his life but still being as dense as he is he shrugged it off thinking that by tomorrow everything would be ok again.
So I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Sorry if I made mistakes and so on but for you to know I am from Germany and my english isn't the best. To be true you can count me to the worst ones in my class...
So anyway if you wonder about the doll... well it will come up in the next chapter but just for you to know it isn't a normal doll it is a strange one which was already in the manga and the anime well then I shouldn't say anything more...
Edited 18.05.12 : Double spaced some lines, so that it is easier to read but no changes in the story.
