Please review! i really had much work on this chapter! this is a little bit of a rewright.

Natsu was sitting on a bar chair in the guild, his head was resting on the bar itself. He looked bored and tired and his eyes were staring in nothingness.

"What's wrong you flame brain?" Gray asked him with a irritated but still a bit concerned voice, he had just come to stand next to him.

"Nothing that you need to know." Natsu growled at him, he looked at Gray for a few seconds but soon returned to staring into nothingness. Natsu was really tired because the dreams that kept him from sleeping, he had no idea what was going on but he somehow figured Zeref was someone he had met before.

"Tch, whatever." Gray said to him and walked away from Natsu, he headed for the table where Erza, Lucy and Juvia where sitting and went to sit next to the water mage who squealed something like 'Kyaaaa! Gray-sama is sitting next to me!' Not that he paid any attention to it.

"What's wrong with him?" Lucy asked Gray and looked with a worried face to the place Natsu sat.

"I have no idea, he's like that ever since we got of the fairy island." Gray said, Lucy wanted to ask him some more about it but he quickly changed the subject, everyone noticed, besides Juvia who didn't pay any attention to anything that involved Natsu, that Gray was worried about his pink haired friend. Lucy also hadn't gotten any sleep because of some dreams, and it also involved Zeref. She somehow knew him.

Soon after that the lights went off and Mira went to stand on the podium, she started to sing a sweet voice that calmed everyone.

"Great, now I'm really getting sleepy." Natsu whispered to himself and soon his eyes closed, he fell asleep and started to dream, slowly that dream became a memory from way back in time, a forgotten memory he never thought of forgetting.

The sun was setting and made the sky look red, no cloud could be seen. The air smelled of blood and dead bodies. The sound of metal that was hit against each other could been heard all over the place. The magical continent Fiore had been fighting another continent that was dangerous and wanted to rule everything that existed. People with magical power and even those without, all fought for their beloved continent, many had died for this useless battle over power. But Fiore had a secret weapon, in this world there was a rare magic that was called 'dragon slaying magic', there were as much dragon slayers as there were elements, such as Ice, air, iron, water, earth and some more but the most powerful of them where the Fire- and the dark dragon slayer. Fiore had those two in their army, that was there secret weapon. They were forced to fight, making them believe that protecting the continent and its people should be protected with everything that they had. The name of those to was, Natsu a friendly and highly respected mage and Zeref a mage that wasn't trusted because of ability to kill anyone he wanted with a simple touch. Today the two had to fight in a battle that was already going on for three days.

"ughn, I'm starting to hate this." Natsu said, he was sitting against a tree, hiding from the soldiers who were fighting for the rebelling continent. He was exhausted and his hair was drenched in blood. He was panting and tried to rest a bit, the fight had been going on for so long, it was amazing no one had dropped dead from tiredness. He had a long jacked on that was open, it had a flame like patron on the bottom of it, he had no shirt under it and whore a necklace with a little flame on it, this showed that he was the fire dragon slayer. He normal never hated fighting, he liked that but he really needed his rest once in a while.

"you aren't the only one." A voice said to the salmon haired boy, it sounded friendly and calm. Natsu recognised the voice and turned his head to the source of it, a black haired boy stood in front o him smiling softly and reaching his hand out to Natsu. He had a black outfit on and a red cloth that hung on it.

"Heh, Zeref how do you do it?" Natsu asked him, smiled and grabbed his hand, Zeref pulled Natsu up and looked at his friend with a soft expression and happy expression.

"Do What?" He asked Natsu looked at the battle field for a moment, when his eyes meth the one's of his friend ones again he saw that they looked happy and his lipped formed a smile.

"Being so calm on a battle field of course!" Natsu yelled with a big smile and hit the dark mage hard on the back what caused Zeref to make a loud 'oumph' sound and after that Zeref playfully pushed the pink haired boy. Even on a battlefield full of death the two were acting as the best friends, and that was what no one could understand, why would the flame of hope be the best of friends to the mage who can only bring dead?

"You're the one to talk, you love fighting, with me it's my power." Zeref said, putted his hand on the back of his head and smiled a bit awkwardly. He wasn't really happy about his power and if he could chose he would pick an completely other power.

"There's no need to be embarrassed!" Natsu said and turned around he looked at the men who were fighting, they were shouting all over the place, it was a horrible sight and seeing how they slaughtered each other would be traumatising if you weren't prepared for it but then again who would be prepared for this. Zeref looked at Natsu for a second but then he softly hit the salmon haired boy on the shoulder.

"What would I so if I didn't have you!" He said to Natsu and grinned widely, Natsu's expression turned from happy to sneaky and putted his arm around Zeref's shoulder.

"Yeah, what would you do?" He said and both started to laugh.

"What the hell are you guys doing here laughing like that, get your asses on the battle field. Now!" A voice suddenly yelled, surprising Zeref and Natsu so they made a little jump. When they turned around they saw a man standing next to them, he was tall had brown hair that now was drenched in blood, he had armour on that was like that of a samurai and a katana hung on the left side of the armour. His brown eyes looked at them and he pointed with his finger at the battle field.

"Sigh, Yes sir!" Both yelled, the man was the captain of their squat and even if the two were really much stronger they listened to him, they walked to the battle field side by side.

"Aright! I'm all fired up." Natsu sighed and looked at his friend who looked at the men who were slaughtering each other.

"I know what you mean." He said and ran towards a man, he jumped in the sky, landed right in front of him and then he touched his forehead. The man fell dead on the ground because of Zeref's ability to take life away. Then he headed for another one.

"Don't overdo it!" Natsu yelled at him with a smile on his face but it soon turned serious as he lit his hand on fire and punched a few men in their stomach, it didn't kill them but gave them major injuries. Natsu was looking for the captain if these guys so he and Zeref could defeat them, because of you defeated their leader then they would have to retreat. He looked around and searched for him but then a man of the rebelling country ran to him, he was looking for a hard fight but Natsu had no time for that and really needed to kill their boss, the men of Fiore wouldn't be able to fend for their own anymore if he didn't because they were all to exhausted.

"Noooooo! I really want to punch you, but I have no time to deal with you! Where's your boss!" Natsu yelled at the man that was now standing in front of him.

"Well, I wonder where he is. Maybe I'll tell you if you defeat me." The man said to Natsu while grinning, he wore a worn out jeans and a black t-shirt on top of it, that meant he was a strong mage because a normal mages or men without magic wouldn't wear such a thing or they would be efeated in an instand.

"Oh? You're gonna tell me after I punch you? Speaking of killing two birds with one stone. I'm on it." Natsu grinned at the man, he wouldn't be defeated that easily, After that the man launched an attack to Natsu but he was quick enough to dodge it.

"Tch. He's quick." The man said, the thought of defeating Natsu easily slowly faded away, because this would probably be pretty hard. But then he grinned.

"But you wouldn't be able to dodge the orochi shadow! They'll chase you to the end of the world!" He yelled, and with that he released snakes of shadow that came with high speed at Natsu, He just looked at the snakes and lit his hand on fire.

"Rawr!" He growled and punched one of the dark snakes that came towards him, it was easily defeated. He dodged the other one which caused him to hit the ground, automatically knocking it out, then he was hit by the other one and was swung backwards against the ground.

"Wha?" The man said in disbelieve, no one had ever survived his attack, but Natsu didn't pay any attention to that, he tried to avoid another one but also got hit, the dark snake avoided each hit Natsu tried to give him, it made him frustrated and mad.

"Hahahaha, my power is not easily defeated!" the man laughed when looking at Natsu who struggling to defeat the dark snake, it bit Natsu in the arm what caused him to whine a bit.

"What the hell are you doing to my friend?" Zeref suddenly asked the man, he was fighting another man but quickly killed him with a tough on the head. He walked towards the man with a dead glare in eyes, everyone who hurt his loved one's must die even if it's just a little bit. Natsu finally managed to hit the dark snake and knocking it out, it left him some bruises but nothing more when he saw that Zeref was going to kill the man he ran with high speed at him and grabbed his arms.

"Zeref calm down, he's my opponent!" He said to him, when Zeref became a little calm Natsu released him and looked at him with a big smile.

"Heh, sorry about that." Zeref apologised, he putted his hand on the back of his head and smiled a bit awkwardly.

"Nothing to worry about!" Natsu said and smiled once again, but now Natsu ran towards the man with high speed, "Dryaaaaah!" He yelled while he punched.

"Gak!" The man yelled, his cheek felt like it would burst open from the strength he was hit whit.

"Graaah!"The man yelled, he was caught of guard because he thought that the dark snake should have killed him. He was flying through the air and hitting the wall and Before falling on the ground Natsu took his leg and swung it through the air.

"Hiieeeek!" The man squeaked in horror.

"Ooooh!" Natsu yelled, swung the man behind his head and threw him as hard as he could against the wall one's again. After all that he yelled "dragons breath" and large whirlwind of fire flew towards the man.

"M-Monster!" The man yelled in horror and his eyes widened. Before the attack hit him.

"Ka Ka Ka! I won!" Natsu yelled with a great smile on his face.

"As promised, tell me where your boss is." He added and pointed his finger at him, he was a strong opponent and probably couldn't have defeated him if Zeref hadn't almost gonne berserk.

"I don't know!" the man yelled still in horror, he had been searching for a strong opponent but never thought he would be defeat and with that he had lied to him about knowing where his boss was.

"Huh?" Natsu said in confusion, what did this man mean, had he fought this man for nothing. He walked to him and grabbed him on his collar and pulled him in the sky. He was mad because he hated people who lied to him. Zeref stopped fighting and looked at his friend with an scared face, he knew what would happen if Natsu would get very angry, He once ruined the whole camp like that.

"Please! Please don't hurt me!" The man yelled and tried to escape from Natsu's grip, the salmon haired boy's mean eyes turned soft and he let the man fall on the ground.

"Keh, you're not worthy of being killed." Natsu said and turned away, he walked towards Zeref who had defeated and killed most of the men. The man who Natsu had just defeated suddenly grinned and pulled out a little dagger out of nowhere and ran towards Natsu in high speed. Zeref who was smiling at Natsu saw that and his smile faded away he tried to grab Natsu and pull him away.

"Natsu look out!" He yelled but it was too late, the man stabbed Natsu in his back it caused the salmon haired boy to hap for breath and then spit out some blood. This made Zeref very angry and he ran towards to man, grabbed his throat and threw him on the ground.

"Natsu may have spared you but you just made the biggest mistake ever." Zeref yelled and killed the man with one single blow. Zeref looked at the man who was now dead but then he heard Natsu cough and he turned around and ran towards Natsu as fast as he could.

"You okay?" He asked Natsu who was sitting on the ground looking a bit pale, he was worried because the last thing he wanted to see is his best friend being killed or even being killed.

"Do you thing such a little wound would kill me?" Natsu said with a little smile on his face, but soon enough it disappeared because of the pain the wound gave him.

"Haha, you idiot!" Zeref softly laughed and went to sit next to Natsu on the dirty ground, the sky was darkening and the sounds of fighting men slowly disappeared because the night was arriving.

"Hey Zeref…" Natsu said and he looked at the dark mage with a soft look in his eyes.

"What is it?" Zeref asked and stared at the sky, he asked himself how they got themselves in these situations.

"you think this will be over soon?" Natsu asked, his voice sounded soft and serious. He also looked at the sky, they both didn't pay attention to the fact that they were sitting on the ground surrounded by hundreds of dead bodies. Zeref turned his head to Natsu and looked at him with a surprised expression, never and I mean never had Natsu asked such a question he was always happy-go-lucky.

"I…I don't know." He answered and looked at his friend whose face was tainted with pain.

"Well, I hope it ends soon…I want you to meet Igneel." Natsu said, his voice was soft and full of love when he talked about his dad, dragons were rare, even in a world full of magic. In this time Natsu did know where Igneel was since the dragons weren't forced to leave their children.

"I'm looking forward to it then." Zeref said and looked at the pink haired boy next to him with a soft smile, but when Natsu's face became tainted with pain once again his smile disappeared and turned into a worried look. He went to stand and reached his hand out to Natsu who looked up to see what his friend was doing.

"Come, let's bring you back to camp."Zeref said and smiled once again to his friend but the worried look in his eyes didn't disappear. Natsu grabbed the dark mage's hand and he pulled him up. Natsu putted his arm around Zeref's shoulder and he helped him walk towards the camp that wasn't too far away.

"You know, I'm really looking forward to the moment this war stops." Natsu said and looked at the Dark mage who was concentrating on the path they walked so he wouldn't fall over any body and worsen Natsu's condition.

"Do you know how many times you already said that today?"He asked Natsu with a smile, he was being very careful since Natsu was the only one who liked him and was friendly to him, so the worst thing that could happen to him is lose his best friend.

"Ah, sorry Zeref." Natsu said, he smiled awkwardly and putted his free hand on the back of his head. There wasn't a thing he wouldn't say or do without his best friend. Zeref just looked at Natsu with a smile on his face that said 'It's nothing' and the rest of the time they were walking they didn't say a word to each other, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of some leftover men who were still fighting, the wining from the injured and still alive men all over the place.

After a few hours they finally arrived at the camp, some of the men looked at the two dragon slayers who had just entered the camp. The camp was full of tents that were really big, their white colour had disappeared and was covered by dust and filth. There were some house like stands between them such as the place the black smith worked, the iron dragon slayer Gajeel. One tent really stood out and that was a red coloured one that was about ten times bigger than the rest and the edges where trimmed with gold. It was the hospital, or at least what was like that, the head nurse and doctor was the sweetest girl there was in the camp, the air dragon slayer Wendy. She had amazing healing power. When they arrived at the red tent they walked inside, it was full of wounded men and everywhere you could hear them cough and whine in pain. Wendy turned around to see who had come inside and her serious face turned a bit pale when she saw it was Natsu and Zeref. She had a light blue dress on, her long blue hair was tied up in a pony tail.

"Oh, my! What has happened?" She asked, dropped whatever she was doing and ran towards the two dragon slayers with a worried expression on her face, all the dragon slayers had a special band with each other.

"He got stabbed while paying no attention to his opponent." Zeref said to her ,handed over Natsu and looked at him with an playful expression.

"Hey, now you make it sound like I had lost!"Natsu said with a cheerful smile even when being injured he was happy. Wendy let him sit on a bed and examined the wound.

"Natsu, try not to move please." She said and looked at him with an serious shine in her eyes. She wondered what would happen if you would part these two, they almost never left each other's side.

"Ow…" Natsu said out of pain. Everybody in the hospital looked at him with jaw dropping expressions, they all thought the same. 'Why would Wendy drop everything she did only to heal them?'

"Oh, yes Natsu I have some good news to tell you, …"

"Natsu!"

Wendy was interrupted because someone suddenly yelled Natsu's name, everyone looked at the beautiful blond haired girl who standing in the entrance. Her brown eyes looked at him with a worried expression. Natsu's lip's formed a big smile.

"Lu…Luce." Natsu said with a happy but surprised tone.

To be continued

Haha, i love my idea, i think Zeref was really friendly guy.
