Hey guys! How are you all? Hope everything is fine and perfect.
First of all, I'm really sorry for all time between uploads, my life has been quite the busy one, school and what not, so I hope you can forgive me for not uploading as fast as you probably want.
Second of all, I can't believe this story got so many nice reviews right out of the bat, I never imagined, thank you guys!
I don't have that much to say right now, so I'll shut up and let you guys enjoy this chapter.
Something that Natsu loved doing, not that he would admit it to anyone, ever, was pretend to be a real-life ninja. Jumping from building to building, moving through the shadows and mastering the art of silence. Right now, that was what was happening.
Ever since he left the library with Seilah behind him, Natsu had been pretty much throwing himself backwards against the walls and quietly moving along it.
Seilah, not understanding in the slightest what her master, no! friend was doing just walked like she always did, occasionally sparing a few glances at Natsu, each and every time wondering if he was playing with a full deck.
Despite these thoughts about the pink haired teen, the demon was happy, happier than she had been in a long time. From the moment they talked, Natsu had showed her nothing but kindness. Before she could do anything about it, a smile found its way towards her face as she recalled the past minutes.
A few minutes ago…..
"Nice to meet you as well, Natsu." Seilah smiled as the two shared a handshake.
"So Seilah what can you tell me about this whole situation? I'm still trying to catch up on a few things…." Natsu scratched his head when the two broke off.
"Well, when you read my book out loud, the magic imbedded within the writings activated and I was summoned to this world." Her voice, contrary to what it had been a few moments ago, had no hint of sadness.
"Yeah okay…that you had already told me, but what do you mean by 'to this world'? Are you not from Earth?"
"I am not." Seilah answered, nodding.
"Then where are you from?" Natsu inquired. One could not tell from the look on his face but deep inside his thoughts were a rumbling mess.
"It is hard to explain, mas…I mean Natsu." She admitted, not sure how could she explain something that, in fact, didn't have any logical explanation. "I'm not from this world, but I'm not from any other world…"
"W-what? Then where are you from!?" Natsu inquired, his voice coming out a little stronger than what he had intended.
Not controlling her actions and moving on instincts acquired from past experiences, Seilah flinched when she heard Natsu's voice. Completely understanding what he had done, Natsu's face became one of regret.
"I'm sorry, Seilah, I didn't mean to scare you or anything like that." Natsu said as he raised one hand to place it on her shoulder. However when he saw her flinch yet again and shut her eyes in the process he decided against it and placed the hand inside his jean's pocket.
Moving her head slightly after opening her eyes, Seilah spoke, her voice now a little different from the previous one. "It's alright, Natsu….it's not your fault." As a resource to ensure the pink haired teen everything was fine, she flashed him a small smile, small but all one hundred percent true.
"Like I was saying, I'm not from this or any other world, I'm from a world between worlds, but inside that world nothing really exists."
If Natsu's train of thought wasn't confused already, now it sure was. Being caught completely off guard, the teen could do nothing but open his mouth in amazement. "H-how does that work then? If you come from a place where nothing exists, how are you here right now?"
"Nothing exists inside that world, but when you summoned me you materialized me, you pulled me out of that world of nothingness and made me something." Seilah explained, her face showing a radiant smile as she mentioned what he had done for her.
"So…so I created you?" Natsu asked, his voice depicting his confused thoughts perfectly.
Shaking her head no, Seilah couldn't help but giggle at how innocent Natsu sounded. "No. I already existed but since I was inside that world I had no material from. When you summoned me to this world, a place where you can touch and feel thins, you gave me form."
Not answering right away Natsu kept himself quiet as he needed a moment alone with his thoughts. "So…basically I pulled you from another world into this one, where in this one you took form?"
"That's right." Seilah confirmed, nodding her head.
"So I summoned you!" Natsu said, a radiant smile appearing on his face. "Ahhhhh now I get it."
'T-that was the first thing I said…." Seilah thought to herself as her face took hints of the "are you kidding me" face.
"Now that that's out of the way, where do you go from here, Seilah?" Natsu inquired, his mood now one of pure joy as he had just found something no one ever could.
"Since you were the one who summoned me I'll go where you go Natsu." Seilah answered, not fully grasping the boy's question.
"Well I'm going home now so…." Natsu started, hoping Seilah had the knowledge people just don't go to other people's house out of the blue.
"So I shall go with you." She answered plainly, the smile present on her face showing she had nothing but innocent thoughts on her mind. Despite what Natsu might think, they still were Master and Demon, and it was her duty, her only duty, to always accompany her master, unless told otherwise.
Of course Natsu being the nice and friendly guy he was he couldn't bring himself to say she couldn't come. "Arghh fine, follow me." Natsu breathed out as he headed towards the library's door.
Present time….
"Say Natsu…" Seilah called out as the duo stopped in the corner between always and Natsu stuck his head out so he could see if the coast was clear.
"Yeah Seilah?" He inquired, turning his head in her direction.
When the two came face to face Seilah completely lost it and broke out giggling. Never in her long life time had she seen something like that.
"What? What is it?" Natsu asked, completely left out of what was happening. His question, however, was only met with giggles. "What's so funny?"
"Y-y-your…" She tried to speak but her giggles kept getting in the way of her words.
"My what?"
"Your face." She finally said it. "W-why are you wearing the scarf like that?"
Apparently, in those few minutes she had spaced out, Natsu had removed his scarf from around his neck and placed it around his head, only his eyes and nose sticking out.
"What's the matter with it?" Natsu asked, offended despite he didn't show it. "I'm a ninja, I need to dress like one."
Seilah didn't think she could manage anymore giggles but that soon changed when she heard her answer as another round left her mouth.
"W-why are you trying to be a ninja?" She asked after her giggles had subsided enough.
"First of all." Natsu lifted his index finger. "I'm not trying, I'm being a ninja." Despite finding his answer hilarious and somewhat cute, Seilah didn't giggle this time, only let her smile grow a little bigger. "And second." Natsu lifted his middle finger. "We need to be ninja if we don't wanna be seen."
"Why wouldn't we wanna be seen?" Seilah asked, the true purpose of his statement eluding her completely.
"Why? What would people think if they saw you walking around?" Natsu stated, jerking his arms in her direction to make his point. "No offense, but you are a demon and people will freak out if they see you."
"That's what you are worried about?" Seilah asked surprised.
"You are not?" Natsu asked, his face taking up a lost expression.
"You don't have to worry about that. Only the one who summoned me can see me." Seilah explained.
"Ahhhhhh that makes sense." Natsu breathed out, making it sound like a billion light bulbs lighted up at the same time inside his brains. "You could have just said so from the beginning…." He continued, removing his scarf in the process from around his head and placing it back on his neck.
Giggling at his response, Seilah apologized. "Sorry. I had no idea you were worried about that."
"It's fine really, don't sweat it." Natsu answered and in kind showed her a smile that told her he was indeed okay with what had happened.
Since it was no longer necessary to walk ninja style, as Natsu would say it, the two quickly made their way across the school, then the streets and finally reached Natsu's place.
Not much light was present at the time, but from what little she could see, Seilah came to the conclusion Natsu's house was at least two stories high. Following Natsu inside as he unlocked the front door, Seilah was met with only darkness, a circumstance that quickly changed as Natsu pressed the switch and the house found itself illuminated.
"Seilah." Natsu called, grabbing her attention to him instead of the walls and ceiling. "I'd love to show you around the house, but I guess today's news was a lot to take in and I'm tired." He admitted, apparently and, contrary to popular believes, even Natsu had limited stamina. "Is it alright if I show you around tomorrow?"
"Of course. It is as you wish Natsu."
"Great, now just follow me and I'll show you where you'll sleep." Natsu said as he started walking up the stairs to the second floor. Compelling to his wishes, Seilah followed him and soon found herself in what could only be Natsu's room, if the innumerous posters and video games were anything to go by.
"Since the guest room it's not ready, you'll take my bed and I'll crash on the couch, okay?" Natsu asked rhetorically.
"But.." Seilah started, but never got to finish her sentence.
"No no no, no 'buts'." Natsu stated. "I'm your master and I'm telling you to sleep here." He didn't like using the 'master card' but he could tell from the look on Seilah's face she wasn't gonna drop the subject so he figures it was best to ended it fast.
"As you wish, master." Seilah said as she took a bow.
"Grahhh, stop with the master." Natsu breathed out, although a chuckle followed as he started closing the door behind him. "Good night Seilah."
"Good night Natsu." She answered him and the door closed as soon as she finished speaking.
Since her master had told her to sleep there, she was gonna do it, so Seilah took off her thigh-high socks and proceeded to remove her kimono as well. She might be a demon, but she was still a girl and no girl likes to get her clothes all wrinkled.
Standing nude as the day she was born, Seilah realized the weather was colder than what she thought. Sparing a few glances around the room, the spotted Natsu's closet and made her way towards it.
Picking up a plain white shirt Seilah struggled with herself on whether or not to wear it. The shirt belonged to her master and not asking for permission might be taken as an insult. Struggling with herself for a few minutes she decided that since the circumstances demanded it so, Natsu would understand.
Without a second more to lose, Seilah threw on the shirt and couldn't feel more comfortable with it. It was big enough to sustain her ample breasts and long enough to almost reach her knees, completely covering her.
Making her way towards Natsu's bed, after shutting off the room's lights, she quickly laid upon it.
'Natsu is for sure the nicest of my masters so far…..' She thought as the biggest smile appeared on her lips. 'He even offered me his bed even though I don't require sleeping.' On this last thought a giggle was heard before everything went silent and the night passed.
So? What did you guys think? Tell me about it in the reviews.
Just so it doesn't get confused, if you have doubts about anything just PM me and I'll see to it. By the way, Seilah doesn't require sleeping, but that doesn't mean she can't sleep.
Like always, review and follow. It helps out a lot.
Once again sorry for the long wait, I'll try to be quicker next time.
See ya soon guys, you rule!
