The hunted

Rated T for some language and fight scenes.

Set before 7 year gape. Laxas is in the guild. Also a little OOC and nalu.

Why am I being targeted?

Why is this happening?

Will anyone help me?

These are the same questions that keep running through my mind as I walk through the streets of magnolia.

"Hey you there stop!"

At this voice I suddenly stop and turn around.

"Yes?" I asked sheeply.

"Are you looking for a fight tripping me like that droopy eyes?" The man with raven like hair and wearing nothing but boxers said as he got up.

"No. Also where are your clothes?" I asked.

"Ahhhhh" he shrieked while running around looking for his cloths.

A woman with scarlet hair walked up to me.

"Hello I'm Ezra, I apologize for my friends attitude he has been tense since the end of the mission" Ezra told me in kind but firm tone while she put a hand on my shoulder.

I winced as she pulled back.

"Sir are you ok?" She ask

"I'm fine, call me Natsu. It just a slight injury from all the traveling I have done" I replied.

"Let us take you to our guild and see if we can lessen the pain" a blond girl replied.

"Thank you miss but I'm fine-"

"Call me Lucy and if you're wondering that man in the boxers was grey" she interrupted.

"We insist it's our guilds job to help travelers in need" Ezra stated.

"Ok you won me over ill come" I laughed.

"What he's coming with us. I'm just getting the feeling that's something is off about him" grey whispered to Lucy.

"Grey don't be mean he needs our help" she whispered back.

-Lucy's P.O.V. -

"So where's the guild I haven't been in magnolia for a while so lead the way" Natsu said.

"Ok" I replied as I walk up next him. "So where are you from?"

He shrugged in reply. "I have been traveling most of my life I don't really remember"

Ok so that got me nowhere." Where is your family?"

I saw him slightly darken when he replied "I was abandon at around three. At let's that was what my foster father told me but he disappear around seven years ago on July 7th 777x but I do have some family here. Enough about me how long have you been in a guild? What type of magic do you use" he asked He has told me a lot of his life why can't I do the same.

"Not long and I'm a celestial wizard. I know you might not want me to ask any more questions but are you a wizard because I sense a small amount of magic emanating from you" I asked with curiosity in my eyes.

"ok you got me there I'm a wizard and before you ask I'm not in any guild or am I planning on joining yours." He relied with a hint of command on his voice.

"We're here "I heard Ezra say as she push open the doors.

-Ezra's P.O.V. -

I also sensed the slight magic presences even though he is trying to hide it.

All I heard from him was "wow" and the growling of his stomach. I look over and see him blush slightly.

"When was the last time you had food Natsu?" Lucy asked with concerning look.

"About three days ago" he replied looking at the floor.

Before any one said anything I heard every one in the guild screen "THEY'RE BACK"

"Hey Mira could we get some food for our friend here" Lucy said pointing at Natsu.

"Sure it won't be too long." Mira replied.

"That Mira she works at our guild" I told Natsu.

"Oh really I'm sorry but I can't pay for the food the money I had ran out four days ago" Natsu told us

"Aye" I heard coming from underneath from his cloak.

"Happy when did you wake up?!" Natsu asked surprisingly

"A few minutes ago" happy said as he climbed out underneath the cloak.

"Don't worry food is free for guild members" I heard Lucy tell him

I'm getting a felling this is going to be a long day

-Natsu's P.O.V-

"Foods done" I heard Mira call

Smelling the wonderful food I walk towards the bar as if in a trance.

"Thank you Mira" I told the stunning looking women.

"Just call me Mira" she told me

I nodded in reply as I ate trying not to be rude.

"Can I have a fish please pretty lady" happy asked

"Thank you the complement happy and sure" she said while rubbing his head.

"Natsu why can't we join a guild?" Happy asked innocently.

"I sorry happy I want to join one too but you know why I can't" I told him

"But what if they are different also from you have told me when you hid your presences only a very few can senses it. Please we need food money." Happy pleaded.

"The shade is still after me and us-"

"Natsu is that you?" I heard a familiar say.

"Ji-ji is that you?" I ask as a little man pushed though the crowed.

"Hahaha you still traveling and hi there happy." The little man said.

"Still as short as ever I wonder how the lady's would feel if they knew why you are so short" I said with a smirk

"Aye" happy said

After getting hit in the face.

"What was that for Ji-ji?" I asked while rubbing the sore spot on my head.

"Natsu we need to talk now." Ji-ji demanded

-Grays P.O.V. -

He knew master. I wonder who this guy really is. I asked myself as he walks into master's office.

"Hey Ezra do you know who Natsu is" I asked her

"the name does sound familiar but it is not ring any bells" Ezra replied" do you know him?"

"Same here" I told her. Suddenly master a Natsu came out of the office.

"Fine Ji-ji I will join the guild but if that thing comes anywhere near the guild I'm leaving" I heard Natsu yell.

"That's ok with me but remember we are all you family now. Everyone we have a new member." Cries came from the rest of the guild." My other grandson Natsu Dragneel has joined the guild." Pointing at the pink haired teen.

"I told you not to tell them that!" I barely heard over the crowd.

"He is also a fire dragon slayer." master Makarov stated "WHAT" the rest of the guild shouted.

"Hey can we turn it done a bit I think my ears are bleeding" Natsu yelled over the screening guild members.

"oh yeah just so you know Natsu has heighten sense so it will be hard to keep secrets from him." Master said

"And do you want me to tell them yours?" Natsu pointed out

Another smack to the head.

"Ji-ji that really does hurt" Natsu whimpered.

"I overheard when you guys talked while coming out of the office what is 'that thing' you were talk about." I heard Ezra said what I was thinking. Also I was getting this bad vibe from somewhere.

-Natsu P.O.V. -

I took a look at Ji-ji. All I saw was a nod. Ok they would have asked eventually.

"Well I don't know too many of the details but someone that can control shades is coming after the dragon slayers -" stopping as I heard a gasp coming from the crowd.

"What do you mean someone is try is coming after dragon slayers." I heard a man growl from the front of the crowd.

"I already know that there were other dragon slayers here that is the main reason I came to magnolia-"

"But if this shade is hunting dragon slayers why come here?" I heard a girl who looks no older than twelve say.

"Because only dragon slayers can see and banish it for some time also-" pausing for a moment to confirm my suspicion. "It's here dammit" I said
