A/N: Hello! This story will be reusing my OC Natsu, from 'Among the Dead to Among Living'. She is 23 years old, okay? Everything that happens in this story will be in her point of view. But first I would like to thank, 'Pure Red Crane' for helping me with this. You have been a great help :)

"Hey Natsu, would you please stop spacing out! If we don't get these photos stacked up, the client is going to blame it on me. Now hurry the hell up!"

"Okay, okay. I got it, sheesh," Natsu muttered under her breath. Natsu was a beautiful, 23 year-old woman. She had crimson, red hair that was held up in a ponytail with a black scrunchie and blue eyes that could pierce through you. She wore plain, black slacks with a white button-up shirt, plus a blazer. The person who she was talking to was a man named Lanchia. He had spiked out, slick black hair, as well as dark circles under his eyes. He wore gloves that he never seemed to take off and he wore a suit with a dark, gray polo underneath. Matched with a simple black tie.

She shot a look at Lanchia... Her boss. "You make it sound as if I don't know how to do my job, it wasn't my fault that you didn't snap the picture in time..."

"What did you just say? At least I wasn't disowned from a certain royal family for not being obedient enough!" Lanchia yelled at her, his eyes flashing in indignation. After a few moments of silence, Lanchia's eyes widened in realization of what he just said. "Oh my God, Natsu, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean that."

Natsu bit her lip and looked away. "It's fine, look I got to go. I have to deliver some photos to Mr. Kawahira..."

Lanchia nodded even though him and Natsu both knew that wasn't true. But he dismissed her anyway. What he said was out of line after all. "Okay, you can go. Sorry again Natsu, that was out of line."

Natsu nodded and smiled slightly. She walked outside the photography studio that she, including a few hundred other people worked. She needed to get going, it was an hour until sundown. Nighttime in Florence, Italy was dangerous, especially for a woman. Natsu looked up at the sun, thinking. Her thoughts strayed towards what Lanchia said earlier...

She shook her head violently and started walking in the direction of her house. 'No, don't think about it. Remember you left all that behind, so you can start a new life here. Lanchia didn't mean it anyway... Well at least I think so. Then again, how dare he bring the past up like that?! He knew that it still hurt her to think about home. So why?'

Natsu fingered the strap that was connected to the digital camera, which was fastened to her wrist. She walked past some small shops that led down to her street. She knew this area so well, that she didn't even need to look to know exactly where she was going. As Natsu absentmindedly stewed over Lanchia's hurtful comment, she didn't notice a tall, handsome man exiting from a coffee shop. He was around 5, 11', wearing a suit with a yellow polo. He also wore a fedora with a matching yellow ribbon tied around it, with a very curious chameleon resting on the brim. If she did notice him, Natsu would've seen how his eyes, although shadowed by the fedora, had flicked towards her for a moment more than necessary.

The man drunk in Natsu's melancholy features, her face signifying that she was deep in thought. He smirked and walked slightly more into her direction. As Natsu was about to pass him, he grabbed her arm and yanked her towards his side. Natsu who had no idea that the man was there in the first place, yelped in surprise and looked at him in shock and confusion. The man took the camera from her wrist and snapped a picture of the two of them. Natsu blinked in surprise and astonishment.

"Hey, what was that fo-"

The strange man, who she was sure she hasn't seen before, cut her off... By kissing her on the cheek. He smirked then whispered into her ear, let her go and walked away into the opposite direction. Natsu stood there alone blushing a brighter red than her hair and softly put a hand to her cheek. She ducked her head and ran all the way to her apartment complex, and she did not stop until she was safely in her bedroom. Trying futilely to understand what the hell just happened.

"What was that? I don't even know him but... Yet he still..."

Later that night as Natsu started to drift off to sleep, she remembered the man's words,

'Don't look so sad next time and I wouldn't have to do this again. Your face will look more beautiful with a smile on it...'

Natsu smiled and mumbled in her sleep, "I don't know who he is, but I hope that I can see him again..."

Little did she know that she was going to see him much more sooner than she imagined...


Well it's finally done! I hope all you enjoyed it :)
