Chapter 1: When the Lady Arrives.

It's been one year since the devastation of the Tartaros Incident and the Council is being manned by the wizard Saints. Fairy Tail has been at the forefront of Inter guild Co-Operation efforts because of Master Makarov Natsu was hosting someone from the sabertooth guild while Lucy was heading to Sabertooth. Natsu had Erza over at his house to make sure his house was in tip top shape because they didn't know who would be arriving from Sabertooth. The entire house had been cleaned up from its normal pigsty state, for which Natsu was happy but rather angry because he couldn't find anything. They properly stocked his house so that they wouldn't have to share anything while this person was here. Fore that matter the visitor from Sabertooth would be staying for 6 months. Natsu was rather anxious to see who would be staying with him. The Morning that Lucy was set to leave most of the Guild was at the train station to see her off. As Lucy departed the train coming from Sabertooth arrived and someone that caused Erza to shutter stepped off.

"Well, well well, hello little fairies it looks like I'll be staying here for the foreseeable future." Minerva stated in a slightly taunting tone as she looked at Erza. "Why did they choose you?" Erza growled out with venom hanging off of every syllable.

"Well I was told to come here by the Council, Scarlet. I had no say in the matter but if I were to guess it would be because of what happened last year." She said with a slightly depressed note that it seemed only the Dragon Slayer picked up. "Well Minerva You'll be staying with me as I've been directed by the council as well. How about we drop off your luggage then I'll give you a tour of the town?" Natsu suggested before the conversation could get any more heated between the 2 S-class mages.

"I'll be staying with you? Well I don't see a problem with that as long as you don't try anything stupid with me little Fairy." Minerva stated with a mix of shock and satisfaction. "Are you kidding me Flame-Brain is too stupid to try understand what you mean by try something." Gray stated with complete certainty.

"Well then that just makes it easier for me to live with for the time being." Minerva stated before Natsu could say anything to counter gray. "I highly doubt that by his eyes he is acting stupid on purpose. Just like he did in the Grand Magic Games." Minerva thought with almost absolute certainty but for her now was not the time for thinking she tossed her large back to Natsu and grabbed his arm for him to lead her to his house. "So where is your house Salamander?" She asked wondering why they had left the city.

"Well, first call me Natsu please everyone does. Second I live away from the city a small ways into the forest for privacy." He finished looking at Minerva with his signature toothy grin. As they started down the path to Natsu's house Minerva wanted to steer the conversation onto a certain topic. "Well, well, well it seems like this Fairy has more to him them just a one track mind. So I have to ask you Natsu why do you lie to your friends?" Minerva smugly grinned.

"What are you talking about? I don't lie to them!?" Natsu growled out seething with rage at being called a Liar. "Do you want to fight me? Cause I'll be glad to fight you for that comment."

"You misunderstand Salamander, I can tell from that comment about you being too stupid to understand what I meant that you understand it completely. Along with the fact that the first thing you did when I got off the train, while quickly, was to scan my entire body. Making sure to study my chest and rear. So I ask again. Why are you lying to them?" Minerva smugly said stopping and poking a finger into Natsu's chest. "I smell someone nearby. How about we talk about this at my house.
Natsu said while sniffing the air. He looked slightly concerned.

At Natsu's house.

"This place is more rustic than I'm used to but it will suffice. I have a separate bed do I not?" Minerva was impressed with the house it was very nice for the mess of a dragon slayer she was used to seeing. "Well Of course you do it's down the hall to the left. There is a bathroom attached to it. I had a week to build it so please let me know if something is wrong, we can switch rooms until I get it fixed" Natsu stated so that she didn't get angry with him. She went down the hall to her room and explored it. It wasn't much, Bed, small closet, a bathroom with a tub-shower combo. She felt as though she was staying in a small quaint inn. As she left the room she sat down at the counter in the kitchen. "Would you like something for lunch? It's around lunch time and I'm getting hungry." Natsu asked with slight concern but more or less curiosity.

"You can cook? Well sure let's see how good the great salamander can cook." She smirked sitting down and grabbing the glass of water that he had set in front of her. "So spill it salamander. Why are you playing this game with them? While I admit it seems like you have fun with it I don't understand why you would want people thinking that you are an imbecile." Minerva finally impatiently asked as she still hadn't gotten her answer.

Natsu was in full swing cooking mode but he still heard "Well people talk a lot when they think you are stupid and they tend to over explain things and give key details about their plans. So I do it to get as much of an advantage as I possibly can but also when it comes to the whole relationship thing I never really thought it was that important. So I just kinda ignored it. I am assuming that Sting and Rogue have explained Dragon slayer mating to Sabertooth?" Natsu explained as he put some chopped vegetables in a pan.

"No they haven't but I'm assuming it's like anyone else you find someone and gradually get to know them blah blah blah sex, marriage that whole deal." But before she could finish her thought she was interrupted by the dragon slayer. "You would be wrong on that one then Minerva." Natsu said as he added some meat into the pan quickly frying it in the pan to lie over some rice. "I can fill you in on that later we have time but yeah that's why I act stupid to the guild. They underestimate me." Natsu said as he put the plate of food in front of Minerva who honestly was surprised that he could actually cook and didn't screw it up like sting always did. They kept having small conversation until they were ready to go into town. "Natsu do you really expect me to deal with stupid you while I'm here? Because after talking to you over lunch I am not dealing with that. It's very annoying." Minerva stated as they made their way back up the path toward the town.

"Don't worry I won't act stupid in private or on jobs if you'd like to go on any but in the guild I will." Natsu said mainly to tell her that he'd be doing both.

"Fine but I just noticed where is your flying blue cat? I don't remember its name." Minerva asked not wanting to be surprised by the Exceed.

"Happy has been staying with Wendy and Carla. He has been very happy since Carla actually recognizes him now." Natsu said happy for his best friend but lonely without him.

"Well no matter I enjoy it when you don't act stupid so when we are at your house you won't act that way." She stated more as a fact then a question. "Okay I do have to say you seem different than the last time we saw you. You seem I don't know more cheerful. Less of a bitch?" Natsu smirked as he said this but immediately received a smack to the head.

"I will admit I have changed but do NOT call me that. It reminds me of my father and I do not wish to relive that portion of my life. Concerning how I've changed. Sabertooth is much more…How shall I say family like now. It's still difficult to get used to for me but I don't wish to speak about that as of now. Let's see what Magnolia has to offer. I believe you owe me a tour of this lovely town." Minerva answered wanting to change the topic as fast as possible.

"That I do so why don't we start here!" Natsu cheerfully started bringing her mood back up seeing how the Dragon slayer couldn't be kept down at all. For the next few hours Natsu and Minerva happily roamed around magnolia seeing many of the grand sites that the city has to offer. Finally they ended the tour at a small bakery to get something sweet to eat.

"I never knew that this city had so much in it and I've never had a tart this good before! I may need to find a way for them to ship these to Sabertooth when I leave." Minerva stated not really talking to anyone just kind of saying it.

"Well I'm glad you like our fun little town here!" Natsu cheered as she just rolled her eyes at him and wondered if he really was smart or not.

"Well I have some questions for the Master of Fairy Tail so would you show me the way to the Guild hall? After that I'm thinking I would like to rest it's been a long day I could use a shower." Minerva stated. She was much more used to a regimented day not a go with the flow style that Natsu typically lived.

"Okay well I'll take you to the master then! Let's go!" He said as his goofy smile once again emerged.

A little while later at Fairy Tail.

Minerva and Natsu arrived at the hall to many confused looks. Natsu didn't think much of them. Minerva on the other hand was very annoyed with the constant Gawking. She wasn't sure if it was her, since about a year ago they were enemies, or the fact that she was holding onto Natsu's arm. In her defense he had offered his arm to her so she took it.

As Minerva and Master Makarov went to his office to discuss some things Natsu stayed at the Bar having a drink waiting for his new roommate to be done. He was approached by most of the guild who were asking what she was like. "Seriously Natsu the last time we saw her she was trying to kill us!" A random guild member yelled.

"Well she's actually really nice so I don't think she'll be trying to kill us!" Natsu responded with a slight growl warning others not to bad mouth her in his presence. "Natsu I trust your judgement but if I feel that she's dangerous I will stop her." Erza stated with a concerned look on her face.

"Erza it'll be fine. Makarov wouldn't have agreed to her coming here if he thought there was a chance we could be getting hurt." Natsu countered knowing that he had made a good point.

"Well Natsu it looks like you'll be going on more S-Class quests." Minerva announced as she gracefully came down from the second floor.

"What do ya mean?" Natsu asked rather confused.

"Well I'm an S-class mage in Sabertooth and since I'm still a Sabertooth mage I still have the rank. But honestly I don't understand why this guild hasn't promoted you yet. Sting and Rogue are both S-Class and you trounced them at the GMG last year." Minerva explained. "I also need a slayer with me and you are the only one of appropriate power here so you'll be accompanying me on jobs for my stay here."

"That isn't up to you. I don't know how things work at Sabertooth but here we don't order each other around!" Erza snapped. "Plus he's not ready for S-Class!"

"AND WHY NOT!" Natsu shouted at Erza much to her surprise. "I've done so much for this guild! I've defeated Demons, A fucking wizard saint, and many others! What makes you honestly think I'm not ready! I want to go on them with Minerva! We talked about it earlier! Just because you don't want me to doesn't mean that I don't want to." He snapped shocking much of the guild.

"Well Scarlet I do believe that he asked you a question. I would also like to hear the answer because he used to be the talk of our guild with how many things he defeated and how much sting looked up to him." Minerva smirked.

Erza was stunned by Natsu's outburst. So stunned in fact that she was speechless. Never before had he done that. Minerva on the other hand was smiling almost too much. She was very happy at the state that Erza had been reduced to by Natsu. She was also quite happy with how the Guild reacted. "Well Scarlet I'm leaving the decision up to Natsu but we did talk about it. I'm not ordering him to do anything." Minerva stated quietly enough for Erza to here.

"Natsu I'm tired, it's been a long day would you show me the way to your house?" Minerva asked in a rather sultry voice just to mess with the guild.

"I believe I have a new target." Mira muttered with a devilish smile on her face as she imagined little Minerva Natsu children running around.

Later that night.

Both Natsu and Minerva had taken showers and gotten ready to go to sleep. Natsu wore his regular sleep pants, No shirt and his scarf around his head. Minerva was wearing a set of matching sleep pants and long sleeve top. They were Light purple with a dark almost blood red polka dots, her hair was still wet from her shower, which she thought was very satisfying, no expecting it to be given that his house is so far away from the city. She had put her hair up in a ponytail. Something that Minerva wasn't entirely comfortable being around people in but she knew that Natsu didn't judge people by their clothing so she was rather certain that he wouldn't make a big deal about it. Later Natsu and Minerva said goodnight and both went to their respective rooms. After a few hours Minerva bolted upright out of sleep sweating and screaming, crying she scampered to the corner of the room facing the door in a dazed panic. Natsu with his advanced senses heard the screams and crying and woke up and ran to Minerva's room to find her in in that panicking state. He rushed over to the Panicking Minerva. "Minerva! MINERVA!" Natsu yelled trying to get her attention. But she wasn't having it. She tried to push him away from her as he grabbed her upper arms. He couldn't get her attention so he did the only thing he could think of to try and calm her down. He sat down near her grabbed her and brought her head to his chest as she continued to cry. He just held her waiting for her to either fall asleep or until she stopped crying. This went on for almost an hour until Minerva had cried herself back to sleep.

"What happened Minerva? Why were you so scared?" Natsu asked with a whisper as he put Minerva Back into her bed and put the blanket back over her. Natsu at this point couldn't sleep, he was busy thinking about what could have scared Minerva that much and he was thinking about Igneel. Natsu went out to his normal training ground to train and to try to get his mind off of Igneel. He did his normal training routine then went to grab a shower.

Minerva awoke at around 5ish in the morning, around 3 hours after her little episode took place, to find herself back in bed after the episode that night. She didn't understand how she had gotten back in the bed but she did realize that the entire time she had felt a pair of strong solid arms there with her. Now she was covered in sweat, she needed to clean up. After her shower she dressed for the day and walked out into Natsu's kitchen. She was surprised to find herself alone in his house. She wasn't really sure where he could have gone granted she didn't know the area so she didn't really want to explore in fear of not being able to get back. However before she could finish that train of thought she heard something coming from outside.

Minerva exited the hall into the kitchen area and saw a mop of pink hair outside the window of the kitchen window. He was muttering to himself. "Minerva I know you're there." Natsu simply stated with no real undertone to his words.

"How did you know?" Minerva asked.

"You have two dragon slayers in your guild and still have to ask?" Natsu asked rather stunned that she forgot an important detail about dragon slayers.

"Well I kind of had a bad night so I forgot a small detail. Is that a problem?" Minerva scolded.

"No I was just curious and kind of am putting it lightly. Is everything okay? You were really freaked out when I found you a few hours ago?" Natsu asked with concern seeing the normal Minerva in front of him.

"I don't want to talk about it, but I will thank you for everything you did." Minerva stared rather coldly into his eyes in an attempt to convince him not to pursue the issue.

"I'll let it go for now Minerva because you're my friend but I'm still concerned. Plus there is no need to thank me I'm doing what any friend would do." Natsu smiled at the elegant woman who was now blushing slightly.

"Why am I blushing? What am I a young girl? But I am curious as to why I am so quickly his friend after everything that I've done?" Minerva thought as she spaced out. For the next few hours she and Natsu sat on the front porch and talked which was new for her because at Sabertooth nobody really treated her like a person they treated her like royalty because she was among the strongest in the guild. It was blatantly obvious that Natsu really didn't care about that he wanted to meet the Minerva others failed to see. It was a refreshing change for the Territory mage. Even though Natsu tried to coax out the reason for her freak out that previous night he had no such luck because the Sabertooth heiress would clam up the minute that anything like that was brought up always ending in a stream of apologies form Natsu.

As it got closer to 8 o'clock the territory mage and Fire dragon slayer made their way toward the guild hall to pick up a mission. As they approached the doors they flew open to see Mira holding a request form. "Hey guys! I have a job for you Minerva! Sabertooth sent it over as soon as it came in it specifically requests you!" Mira cheered in an excited voice as this was Minerva's first job at Fairy Tail, even if she was a seasoned mage Fairy Tail had a reputation for above and beyond excitement.

"Well MiraJane I would be happy to look at the request but I don't take all jobs that request me. Sabertooth gets quite a few so Master Sting must have thought that this one would catch my eye. Also did a letter come with this from Sting?" Minerva asked as she grabbed the request from Mira's outstretched hand.

"Yes a letter did come with it! Were you expecting one?" She pulled a letter out that had an elaborate Sabertooth Wax seal on it.

"Why yes I was Sting was worried as to how you would receive me at the guild. I told him it would be fine but he was still worried the poor thing" She said with feigning concern at the end to see a certain fire mage start to steam for a second.

"Well what's the job Minni?" Natsu asked with his typical grin only to get a territory infused punch to the back of the head. "You will not refer to me as that, it is Minerva or milady. Those are the only things you will call me Salamander." Minerva scolded as she opened the letter.

"Yes Minerva…." Natsu whimpered as he rubbed the back of his head where she had hit him. "Well now you know to never call me that I shouldn't have to hit you. Now let's see what sting says…." A few seconds go bye as she reads it then she laughs. "Well mainly it says call if there are any problems and Hello Salamander. That's about the extent of what I guess I should expect from him." Minerva chuckled using her territory to deposit the letter somewhere.

The name of the town confused Natsu and the rest as they typically didn't have to deal with requests from other countries. Minerva explained that Sabertooth's guild was at the top of Fiore and that the country of Seven was to the north of Fiore and had a Peninsula jutting out into a bay that it shares with Fiore. "Well if it's a demon extermination Mission we need to stop by my house to retrieve a few items. When will you be ready to leave Natsu? It will take us about a day to get to Harimau. Mira would you please register the job? Or when we stop by Saber will they need to register it?" Minerva said as she stared at the job request.

"I can register it since a Fairy Tail Mage is accompanying you!" Mira assured her.

"I'll go get a duffle. Does it say what kind of demon it is?" Natsu asked as he started toward his house to get some cloths and supplies for the mission. "You okay Minerva?" He asked with a concerned tone as he looked back at her. She was sporting a pale look, paler then she usually did.

"I'm fine I would like to get going as soon as possible Natsu please hurry and get your things. We leave in 30 minutes. Meet me at the train Station. I'm going to get a tart from that delicious bakery!" Minerva said as she turned away from the group and walked toward the town.
