Chapter 1: Number one forgotten!
it was a cold night in the town of Fiore. Men and women were miserably cold, and a guild stood out tall and proud in front of the guildmates. A certain dragon slayer was in a pouty mood as he watched the blonde talk to His Rival, his Enemy , and a plan out bitch(OC). Ever since that Bitch who was named Zach came into the fairy tail guild 10 months ago. everyone noticed him more and ignored Natsu all the time. It really upset him in a way where he wanted to burn the place down with everyone in it.
"Iron-Breath! I can't believe you tried to take my beer!" Zach(Bitch in Natsu's mind) yelled angrily.
Gajeel plainly grabbed a stool and threw it at him. it unfortunately made contact with a certain Ice mage.
THUD!
was the sound of Gray's body hitting the ground. The stripper quickly jumped up and glared coolly.
"OI METAL BASTARD! WATCH WHERE YOU THROW THAT THING!" He yelled while punching the iron dragon slayer in the head firmly.
Gajeel tackled him, while Zach joined the fight. The whole guild except for natsu fought. Natsu looked down sadly. 'Guess I better just go find a job alone…like I always do' he thought plainly and got up.
He was just about to walk over to the request board, but was interupted by a voice behind him.
"OI! Natsu when did you get here!" Mirajane called making the fight stop and causing everyone to look at the fire dragon slayer.
Natsu looked down at his feet, unable to move or look anywhere.
"Uhh….I was here the whole time…" he muttered plainly making everyone stare at him.
Cana took a chugged of her beer and looked at him.
"Well…why don't you just get involved like you ususually do…I mean you haven't partied with us ever since Zach came.." the drunk stated in concern.
the whole guild was now staring at him, waiting for his response or Happy words to cheer him up. All he did was grunt in response with a hurt tone and walked to the board hoping to god that his longer hair and bangs would cover the pain in his eyes.
like you care' he thought sadly.
The Whole guild stared at him shock. Not expectting that at all. Lucy however just stared in concern for the Male. she really didn't understand why he was acting like this.
Natsu stopped in front of the board ignoring the looks he was getting. he tapped on his chin in 'puzzlement' trying to figure out what was the next mission he would go on.
"Hnn…Slaying a Monster…seems tricky…but could cost me another scar…hmm..maybe a mafia assassin…that one would be fun…except for the fact that I would have to kill someone.." he muttered quietly. "WHat to choose…what to choose…"
"Natsu!" Master Macarov called to the fire breather.
the salamander looked at the saint with a plain look on his face.
"Yeah old man?" he asked earning a serious look.
"What's wrong?" the Old man asked with concern in his tone as he sat on his ususual table.
Natsu looked at him in fake happiness.
"Nani?" He laughed Fakely but convincingly. " I was just forcused on getting a mission! Im all Fired up!"
the whole guild presumed to what they were doing completely unaware of his fake happiness. Wendy however was still concerned on the event that just happened seconds ago.
Natsu stood at the Job board in boredom for about a half-hour, before deciding he was tired of being ignored and wanted to go home. By the time he started walking out the door, he heard a small voice behind him.
"Natsu-ni!" Wendy squeaked to the salmon haired dragon slayer.
"Oi Wendy-chan! what's up?" he asked plainly. "I was just gonna go hit the sack…im dead tired!"
"Natsu-ni…are you sure…you're not lonely?" the girl asked making the boys eyes mentally wide.
Natsu quickly shrugged it off and smiled at her wider.
"Nani?! why the sudden questions! I swear im just tired…" he murmured quietly.
Wendy eyed him, and he didn't back off from her gaze.
"Natsu-ni….you would tell me if you feel sad wouldn't you…" the blue haired girl asked in concern.
Natsu nodded.
"Of course Wendy! we're like brother and sister," he responded plainly. "Oh and can you watch happy tonight,"
The blunette nodded smiling at him.
"Thank you," he smiled.
as she walked off he turned around and started walking towards the woods.
as he walked and thought about how lonely it was in the guild, cold tears streamed down his tan cheeks. he tried to wipe them away but however the tears however kept coming.
"Nani," he sniffled to himself. "Why am I crying…"
He started wiping them away , but they kept falling.
"Is it because im lonely…." he whimpered to himself. "Or is it because Lucy loves Zach instead of me!"
he walked down the street past people knowing they didn't notcie him ever since Zach came along.
"Hey! is that salamander," A little girl squeaked to her mother in excitement.
"No, Salamander's dead, no one's heard from him in months, and fairy tail doesn't even mention him," the woman responded. "I read an article last week with a list of popular fairies and Unpopular, and forgotten ones…Salamander is the first on that list. No one cares about him anyways,"
Natsu's eyes streamed more, and a little cry escaped his mouth.
'w-what a bitch!' he thought veeyr offended by her little information.
so this is what it meant to be lonely. when he got to the forest knowing no one was there. He started sobbing to himself.
"Why does this hurt so much!" he yelled to the darkness in the trees.
"Because you don't know what to do with yourself," a whisper said touching the back of his neck.
"Whose there," He asked plainly.
"Don't worry, you're not imagining me, you haven't gone insane," the voice snapped.
"Then who-"
then a something jumped down in front of him and lit a fire. Natsu's eyes widened in horror.
Sttanding there was a exact replica of him, only this one had really sharp cannies and blood red eyes mixed with his onxy ones.
"How can you ask such a stupid question! Isnt it obvious! im you Natsu-kun!" the voice called in an insane matter.
"But…..you can't be….im Me.." he whispered half scared of what the identical him was saying.
"Im the future you ditwad!, Don't you see! this will be us in a couple months!" the identical natsu laughed violently.
Natsu eyes were wide. Was he serious? would he really look so murderous? What the hell was wrong with that picture. Why was he seeing the future him? was this the starrt of him going looney!? oh god would he kill people. why the hell did he look so young!
"Im young because I get by a spell in a few days from now," the man explained still smiling sadistically. "And it did someething very bad to us! we can't stop smiling or laughing! and we enjoy the darkness!"
Natsu's tears suddenly stopped, and his mouth was in a plain line.
"You're joking…" he responded in a doubted tone.
His reflection turned darker and more sadistic if possible as if he were the devil himself.
"There is no stopping the fact that you get hit by the spell, but there is the stopping of us becoming this scary nature! this fearless entity!" His future self screamed in laughter.
"You're lying!" Natsu exclaimed not liking the conversation anymore.
"Im tell you a little secret,"
"I don't like secrets, they just end up hurting people in the long run," Natsu stated plainly
Future natsu merely smiled like a creep and grab him by the shirt.
"Then I'll give you a hint! How's that!"
Natsu thought how weird It was making a deal with the future self, but decided that hints weren't as bad as secrets.
"I guess that's okay," he stated.
If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need something, I'll just be me," the older him stated making him sweat.
How the hell was he supposed to figure that crap out. He changed his mind he didn't like hints anymore.
"WHat the hell does-"
"Looks like my times up," future natsu muttered, starting to disappear. "Don't screw this up!"
"WHAT! YOU'RE LEAVING ALREADY!" natsu shrieked in horror.
"HAHAHAHA! YOU'RE PATHETIC!" his future self laughed.
natsu sweat-dropped.
"You know what….i really think you should just go, thank you for warning me and hinting me..but please…I think you should just leave," he said plainly earning the scariest smile he'd ever seen.
"Don't fuck us over…you need to change our future, you can't give up on you're friends,"he stated. "Oh and the time you get attacked is tomorrow…I exaggerated about the few thing…"
"YOU BASTARD!" Natsu shrieked pointing angrily at him only to be caught off guard by a sad smile.
"Please…" his future self begged and disappeared.
Natsu sat their in confusion by what the hell just happened, but he wasn't about to his eyes suddenly seemed to full of tears again.
"Im clueless…" he whispered to himself. "Here I am crying like a fucking girl! With a future that I have to save!"
he suddenly turned silent and sttared at the tree.
"WWHAT THE FUCK!" he screameed confused.
