Ch. 2
Two hours passed when Natsu, Happy, and Juvia arrived to their destination: Amogalia Town. Natsu stumbled off the train, spirals in his eyes as Juvia and Happy followed him off. Natsu went over, and sat down on a bench for a moment to settle his post-motion sickness.
"Stupid….train…deathtrap…" Natsu mutters, face still a bit green.
"You should really get over this motion sickness, Natsu." Happy comments.
"Shut up Happy…"
"Don't worry Natsu, Juvia is sure you will overcome it someday." Juvia said.
"…Yeah, thanks Juvia." Juvia smiles as she placed a hand on his back. She is surprised as she thought:
"Wow, his back is so firm and strong." Suddenly, a flashback occurred showing that she had held that same back. That she felt how strong and firm it was when she held onto him as if her life depended on it. She blushed pulling her hand back, shaking her head embarrassed.
"Are you okay, Juvia?" Natsu asks.
"Huh?" Juvia responds.
"Your face is all red. Do you have a fever?"
"Oh, Juvia is fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, very sure."
"Alright," Natsu stood up "Now let's get going and complete this job."
"Aye sir!" Happy agrees.
"Yes." Juvia agrees as well. The trio left off toward the client's home. As they walked, they noticed that everyone were basically wearing their swimsuits. This surprised them as they didn't come across many people with just their swimwear on. It didn't take long for the them to arrive to the client's home. And since it was the mayor who requested them, obtaining directions was easy. Natsu reached up, and knocked on the door. After a moment, the door opened to reveal a young maid.
"Yes, how may I help you?" she asks, serenely.
"Hi, my name is Natsu Dragneel." Natsu answers.
"My name is Juvia Lockser." Juvia adds.
"And I'm Happy!" Happy finishes.
"We're from Fairy Tail and been assigned for a job sent to our Master." Natsu explains.
"Ah yes, my Master been expecting you," the maid said "Follow me inside, I will lead you to him." The maid let them into the home, then closed the door. She lead them through the main room as the Fairy Tail mages looks around. They went down a hallway, pass a flight of stairs, and to a large door. The maid knocked on the door, then they waited.
"Yes?" a voice calls from within.
"The mages of Fairy Tail has arrived Master Sora." The maid responds.
"Oh, send them in Selena."
"As you wish," Selena looks to Natsu, Juvia and Happy "You may enter."
"Thank you." Juvia said.
"Yeah, thanks." Natsu adds. The three walked into the room, then froze. Reason for this is because the first thing they saw is the bed. And on top is a beautiful woman with light blonde hair and chestnut brown eyes with fair skin. And she is naked with only a light blanket covering her.
"Oh, sorry about…uh…this meeting…as I didn't expect you so soon…" a man said. His voice turned the Fairy Tail mages attention toward the window. Standing in front of it is a guy who looks to be in his mid-twenties. He had dark brown hair and hazel color eyes that matched his light skin tone. The only thing he is wearing is some pajama bottoms. Seems he at least tried to make himself decent upon their arrival. He continued to speak in an awkward fashion:
"As you can see…me and my wife Cecelia were…um…"
"We just finis a round of passionate sex." Cecelia said, bluntly. She giggled as Natsu's and Juvia's faces turned crimson. Happy was too preoccupied eating fish to hear or notice what was said. It's amazing how he avoid hearing those things except when Carla's involved or he himself making the joke.
"Yes, if I had known you were arriving early, I would've been in a more decent attire," Sora explains "I figured you would come at least by tonight or tomorrow."
"That would be the case if we took a carriage," Juvia said "But Juvia's partner has extreme motion sickness, and the length of a ride of a carriage would've been worse than a train." Natsu shivered for a brief moment as it was lucky they chose the train. He gained a slight more respect for trains…still hate them though.
"I see…well, let's begin what this is about. We, as the entire town of Amogalia, need your help. You see, our town has earned the name Steam Town and City of Fog."
"Steam Town? City of Fog?" Natsu repeats.
"Juvia heard tales of the town as it is always covered in some form of steam and fog." Juvia said.
"Yes, created by both a fire mage and water mage before you." Sora assures.
"What happened to it? It's clear when we came in." Natsu asks.
"The problem is the two mages who make the steam got killed." This shocked the Fairy Tail mages. The mages before them was killed? This news made the difficulty of the mission higher. Natsu then said:
"Explain."
"You see, the steam around the town wasn't natural. It was created by a fire and water mages, who is incredibly strong. They could be S-Class if they joined a guild, or at least recommended to become S-Class. The steam they create is pleasant for the people that you will see them in swimwear more often than not." Sora began.
"Oh, so that explains it," Natsu thought, remembering the townsfolk in their swimwear "And if the fire and water mages were really that strong, it will take an equally strong or stronger opponent to kill them."
"As you know, it's more to the steam than it appear."
"What do you mean?" Juvia asks.
"While the steam within the town is pleasant, the steam around the town served a protective purpose."
"A protective purpose?" Happy repeats.
"Yes, to keep bandits, dark mages, evil creatures and the like out," Cecelia explains, now wearing a purple night gown "You see, a third mage used Illusionary magic within the steam. Anyone with an evil heart won't be able to move through the steam to the town. They will wander aimlessly till they exit out the steam far away from the town."
"Then how did the fire and water mage get killed if no one bad could get through?" Natsu asks.
"…The store they worked at had run out of supplies, and called some in," Sora said "But the supply cart ran into problems on the way here. No one realized it was a trap, but Jin and Lena went to retrieve it. They were ambushed…and killed."
"We knew the second the steam was lifted, and knew that we were in true danger." Cecelia said.
"To make matters worse, they wanted the third mage. Not to kill, but to use her Illusionary magic for evil purposes."
"Who is this person?" Natsu asks.
"The third mage? She just so happens to be Jin's and Lena's daughter."
"Daughter?!" Natsu, Juvia and Happy exclaims.
"Yes, their daughter is also a mage," Cecelia said "The thing that is truly remarkable is she's only eight years old."
"Wow, amazing." Happy compliments.
"Yeah, it is." Natsu agrees
"What is her name?" Juvia asks.
"Her name is Kisa." Sora answers.
"That's a lovely name."
"Yes, it is." Cecelia agrees.
"So, where is Kisa?" Natsu asks.
"Where is she? She's-" Sora began. A knock came to the door, bringing their attention to it. Sora then calls out:
"Yes?" A moment passed before the door opened. A small girl stepped in, hiding behind the door. She had light golden hair with emerald green eyes that goes well with her fair skin. She wore a pink night gown with cute panda designs.
"Uncle, Auntie, I had a nightmare." The young girl said, softly. She then noticed the Fairy Tail mages, and hid her face behind the door.
"Kisa, please come in." Cecelia said, gently. Kisa looks back in, then stepped inside. She moved over to Cecelia, and climbs into her lap. Cecelia then asks:
"What was the nightmare about?"
"It was about all these mean monsters attacking the town and eating everyone." Kisa explains.
"Oh, those monsters aren't scary because they are scared themselves."
"Really?"
"Yup!"
"Okay." Cecelia smiles softly then spoke:
"Kisa, these young mages are here to help us."
"Help us?"
"Yes, with the steam."
"B-But won't they get hurt? W-won't they disappear like momma and papa?" Cecelia didn't answer right away. She couldn't guaranteed the Fairy Tail mages wouldn't get hurt nor disappear. Then Natsu spoke up:
"Don't worry, we will be alright!"
"Really?" Kisa asks, looking to Natsu.
"Yeah, totally!" Kisa looks to Natsu for a moment, then smiles gently and said:
"Okay!"
"Since you won't be staying, we will create a lacrima that will maintain the steam you create," Sora explains "In fact, we are in the process of making it."
"When will it be done?" Juvia asks.
"I say it will take at least another three days."
"Sounds good. enough for me." Natsu said, grinning.
"Aye." Happy agrees.
"We will protect the town till then." Juvia finishes.
"Thank you," Sora said "Please enjoy the town pleasantries while you're here."
"Sure!" Natsu said.
"Um...Kitty?" Kisa said.
"Hmm?" Happy responds.
"W-Would you like to play with me?"
"Is that okay?" Happy asked this to Sora and Cecelia.
"Of course. Kisa may be a bit shy, but she loves cats." Cecelia assures.
"Okay, I'll play with you!" Kisa smiles as she hops off of Cecelia's lap, and ran out the room. Happy followed her out, flying behind her.
"And while I think about it, you can stay with us during your stay." Sora said.
"Oh, we don't want to impose," Juvia responds "We'll find an inn in town."
"No, it's alright. You is more than welcome to stay."
"Alright, now that is taken care of, let's go see the town!" Natsu states. He took Juvia's hand and took off. He didn't notice how Juvia's face turned red when he did that. Now outside, Natsu looks around to see where to begin.
"What do you want to do first, Juvia?" he asks.
"Hmm, Juvia don't know. We can go around town." Juvia answers.
"Alright, let's do it!" And thus began their day. They went to various shops around town. They came to a restaurant where Natsu cleaned out their food supply due to it being 'all-you-can-eat' day. Natsu then slipped away for a moment while Juvia did some clothes shopping. The two met back up at an ice-cream parlor. They are currently sitting outside at a table while Natsu had a strawberry-chocolate swirl as Juvia had a vanilla-fudge swirl.
"Today sure was fun!" Natsu said, grinning.
"Yes, indeed it was." Juvia agrees, smiling.
"Did your shopping go okay?"
"Mm, Juvia found plenty of items she would enjoy wearing on occasions. And it seems you did a bit of shopping yourself." She had noticed the two bags he had brought with him.
"Yeah, I did. I went and got Erza a present that she might like. He held up one of the bags.
"Oh...Juvia see...Juvia is sure Erza will love it."
"I hope so." Juvia smile turned sad as Natsu set the bag down. She then asked:
"Whose the other one for?"
"This one? Oh...it's for you." Juvia blinks surprised as she pointed to herself and responds:
"F-For Juvia?"
"Yeah!" Natsu picked up the bag, and held it to Juvia. Juvia slowly took it from Natsu's hands. From the weight of it, it's not heavy. She reached inside, and pulled out an ocean blue teddy bear that wore a t-shirt saying: Forever and Ever.
"Oh Natsu, thank you."
"Sure, no problem!" Juvia smiles as she hugs the bear tightly to her chest. She wonder why she got disappointed when Natsu said he gotten a present for Erza. Of course he would, Erza is his girlfriend after all. But...she wished...
As for Natsu, he wondered why he gave Juvia a bear with a saying like that. He chose the bear to be a symbol of their friendship, but it could also be taken as a symbol of something else entirely. As he wondered, they both thought:
"What could this mean...?"
