Blue Stars, a Fairy Tail fanfic.
This is my first fic featuring a pair "on the road to be canon". I'm not sure if they're going to be canon already. Basically this is a NaLu fic set in Ancient Tokyo during the Sengoku Period and in Tokyo, Modern Japan.
Actually, I've never dared to write a fic for this pair but, since I've read some NaLu fics... I came up with this one. =)
This fic was actually for the Jellal/Lucy pair but, I decided to delete it and re-upload it for the NaLu pair.

Blue Stars Chapter 1: Prologue
Ancient Tokyo, Sengoku Period-Japan, 1468
Snowflakes drifted down from the night sky, cloaking the city in a silent white blanket and draping its cold embrace upon the inhabitants of the kingdom's capital. All was quiet and the darkness was broken only by the occasional lamp which casts long shadows upon the ground as the candle within flickered and dance at the slightest teasing of the breeze. Somewhere in the dark, a young fox slinked through the undergrowth, its keen eyes and ears alert for the slightest signs of activity.
There was none.
The tip of its tail quivering, the creature cautiously lifted its nose to the air, breathing in the night scent before deciding that there was nothing to draw it to the city. It turned and scampered back on light feet into the forest which grew outside the city limits. The city of Tokyo sleeps " a cold and silent sleep. Night was not a time for decent people to be out wandering about. The night was only for thieves, drunkards and the fairy people.
Or at least that's what they say.
Princess Lucy Heartfillia, heir to the throne of the kingdom, pulled her cloak tighter around her, her feet barely a whisper over the snowy footpath as she crossed the palace court yard. Sword in hand, brim of straw hat pulled low over her face, the princess' quick eyes took a cursory glance around her before she launched herself into the air, leaping over the stone wall in one quick bound and then running as fast as she could into the darkness of the city streets embrace.
She loves the night.
It was the only time she shed the trappings of royalty and become as anonymous as the shadows upon the walls. She did not want to be a beautiful firefly kept forever in a box.
She wanted freedom.
Tokyo, Japan, 2068
Snowflakes flurried in the night sky, pushed hither and thither by the on rush of air sent by the passing cars. The soundtrack of urban city life echoed in the forms of music blaring from shops, the honking of vehicles and the never ending chatter from the stream of people still pulsing through the night streets of Tokyo. The cacophony filled every last narrow streets of the Mita Dori area, intruding into all nooks and crannies.
The lone dog trotted swiftly and nervously as it weaved its way through the throng of people out on the street. No one paid it much attention and it kept its head down, a soft whine in its throat as it passed the street vendor whose savoury food sent out a most mouth watering aroma. But the dog knew not to linger there. It would only mean an angry shout and a booted kick. The city of Tokyo never sleeps. It was a vibrant metropolis and the pulse of the country's lifeline.
Nothing better than cruising through the nightlife of Tokyo.
Natsu Dragneel crammed his hands into his jean pockets as he stood at the mouth of the narrow alleyway, his head tilted at a proud angle, his eyes narrowed menacingly. Behind him, his gang cracked their knuckles and pulled up their sleeves. Sometimes, you need to show people that you mean business, and Natsu always means business when it comes to defending his territory.
He loves the night.
The night was his kingdom and he ruled the streets in this area. Ever since high school he had made a name for himself as the bad boy of the city and he loved living up to that reputation. He commanded their fear, and he commanded their respect. There really was nothing better.
…A warrior princess…
…A gangster leader…
…600 years in between…
One love story.
from: KAHLIL GIBRAN; THE PROPHET ~ LOVE
Then said Almitra, "Speak to us of Love."
And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them.
And with a great voice he said:
When love beckons to you follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the season-less world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
