Other Notes: Oh yes this will have some heavy angst here and there, but over all I will try and keep it down…somewhat. Anyways I should explain something. All of the dragons here have a human form, but can switch between human and dragon, to blend in they use a human form. Also Dragons and Demons have wagged war over a million years, so you will see hints of that in here, as well as probably some references to RaveMaster. Anymore I can think of…Ah yes. There will be some minor and major plot twists here and there. And also for those wanting one shots by spiral is STILL lost…(_ _ll) Well actually I know where it is but a teacher wont give it back to be for a while soooo I will try and get those requested stories up as soon as I can. Hm. Oh yeah there is this to. In this world Humans and Dragons are NOT supposed to get along since apparently the humans took the side of the demons (you're choice on if that is true or not). So technically they is also a forbidden love story. Well that's all. I hope you all enjoy this~

Prologue:
It was about a million years ago when the war between the Demoniacs and the Dragons began. No one knew how it started sept for the Dragon Slayers. The Dragon Slayers were not part of the Demoniacs, they were dragons, but with powers unlike the others. They're powers have been passed down from one to another for a long time and eventually the power of the legendary Fire Dragon Godioun, was passed down onto Igneel, one of the strongest warriors to ever live. Then...the powers were passed down to a young hybrid that Igneel found. The boy was part dragon, but he was also part human and became an outcast. However Igneel raised the child as his own and taught him the magic of Godioun. Eventually Igneel had to leave him and that day the boy was attacked by humans and almost killed until a young ice mage saved him. To this day the two have never known who the other was...until an encounter with...
Chapter 1:
"…tsu…Natsu…Natsu…Natsu!" Natsu jumped upright, his forehead colliding with Gray's causing both males to curse and rub they're heads.
"The hell Gray!" Natsu snapped, he had been enjoying a good nap while they were on the train heading to the town named 'Legend Fire'.
"Not my fault you wouldn't wake up!" The ice mage snapped at the other, and pulled the other up. "Now come on. We need to leave before the train does, unless you want to take another round," He said, annoyance in his voice. He pulled the other off the train.
Boy did Gray hate this job, but it was his own stupid fault, well Natsu was at fault as well. They had been arguing like normal when a kid walked right between them, tripping both as they fell into the guild. However they found themselves in the awkward position of Gray on top of Natsu and they're lips pressed. When Master found out, not having known it was an accident, he ordered both onto a mission in this town.
Natsu sighed and shook his head as he looked around. He wished Master would have let Happy come along, because he really didn't want to be stuck with Gray for the whole time they were here. After what happened between the two of them not to long ago it was just…awkward being near Gray to him [honestly do you blame him?]. Gray was feeling the same way about it, but he was better at hiding this from the other mage. He had always been good at hiding things after all, even from his teacher who normally read him like a book. That lead him to thinking if her and Lyon were getting along (Yes UR is alive in this), because the last time he had seen them UR was helping Lyon get used to the power that was drained from him…he'd have to go check on them sometime soon.
Natsu noticed the Ice mage was deep in thought and was ignoring his poking and prodding until a hand came and hit him upside the head. Gray about fell over but caught his balance and looked at the…attacker?
"UR…" Gray blinked, seeing Lyon behind her. "Lyon…what are you two doing here huh?" He asked, crossing his arms.
"I should be asking you that, Gray. We're you two sent here to get rid of the dragon?" UR asked. Gray saw Natsu perk at the word 'dragon'.
"Huh?" Gray kept a hold on Natsu's wrist before he could run off. "No we were sent here for 'vacation'…" Gray sighed and shook his head. "Master kinda got ticked with us soooo….eheh…"
"Gray what did you do this time?" UR asked crossly. Gray swallowed, knowing better than to lie to UR. He quickly explained what had happened, leaving UR speechless. "Gray…what in gods name did you just say? It better not be what I just heard!" She snapped.
Gray was about to tell her again when Natsu suddenly yelled. "Igneel!" And then started darting off, pulling the ice mage along before he could say anything. Gray wasn't entirely sure where Natsu got the idea that Igneel was there…until he saw flames and a large red dragon. Natsu stopped running and removed his scarf [It is made from Igneel's scales and protects people from the heat], and put it around Gray's neck before dragging him inside the flames. Despite the scarf around his neck Gray was already getting over heated, it wasn't his fault for being an ice mage. Why was Natsu even dragging him in here anyways? There really was no reason for it after all; Gray could have just stayed out where it was cooler. He sighed as he followed Natsu to the middle, which surprisingly no flames were, but the dragon stood.
Natsu ran over and hugged the Dragon's leg, and the dragon looked down at Natsu. To Gray he seemed to smile, but he wasn't entirely sure that was the case. Natsu stepped back as the dragon changed into a human with spiky red hair, who looked a lot like Natsu in attire. The person was taller though and patted the shorter one [Natsu] on the head before looking to Gray. His eyes seemed to alight in anger, but Natsu seemed to ensure Igneel Gray was no harm to them. Gray watched the two interact for a while. He sat down, panting as he watched. The heat was getting to him, and he hoped Natsu noticed soon or who knew what would happen to him by the time he noticed.
Igneel placed a hand upon Natsu's back and told him something slowly. Natsu was silent for a few moments before stepping away from Igneel and said. "Igneel. I can't leave now. Besides Master wont be happy if I do. I understand you don't like humans, but they're not all that bad."
Those words caught Gray's interest. Natsu wasn't human then? But he acted like everyone for the most part, despite the fact he ate fire...and other things but still.
"Natsu," He heard Igneel say. "You must listen to me. They are all evil...you must-"
"Now hold on!" Gray yelled suddenly. Igneel turned on him ready to snap but stopped when he saw Gray's eyes. He had only seen those once before...those eyes...could this boy be? "You have no right to tell Natsu what he can and can't do! Listen to me! Natsu is our friend, and a mage of fairy tail! Sure we may not always get along, but that doesn't mean he hates us or anything! We all protect each other..." Gray found himself running out of breath and the heat was now hotter than before. "...we're...family..." Gray got out before he fell backwards. Natsu's eyes widened and he ran to the other. He hated to admit it, but he cared for the ice mage, and honestly finding that the other stood up for him against a Dragon like Igneel...it made him happy...but now he had to worry about Gray's health...this air was not good for him.
Godioun's Question and Answer Corner:
This chapter: Basic explanation
[Ahem. Time to explain some things. As you know I am Godioun, the legendary fire dragon. I am telling you this story because it all ties back to my time. You see back then Dragons and Humans were friends, and we normally had children hybrids. After the war started that stopped. But my wife was a hybrid of a dragon and a human. Igneel's father was born mostly dragon, but somewhat human. Then Igneel was born as well as another child, which took half of each lineage. I think you know whom I am talking about. Nether know about this, and I intend to keep it hidden. You may be wondering how I am telling you this and well it's simple. I watch over Igneel and his brother to make sure the next heir of the fire linage is there when we need it. If even one of our lineage dies out then there is sure to be trouble for the rest of the war. We need everyone in order to survive this war between the Demoniacs. Well that's all for now. If you have any questions ask me and I will explain them in the next installment].
A/n: Like stated above you can send me questions and I'll have Godioun explain what you want to know. Please review.
