Chapter2

Natsu sat down on the cot looking at the window quietly not making a single sound then his attention was caught by the sound of the woman that came "Umm" she said entering the room. Natsu looked instantly at the door to find a girl with a short black hair wearing a kimono you can tell she was the one who saved him but he didn't know that she is the one who brought him here. The girl gave him a weak smile "Y-you alright?" she asked immediately, "Yeah, thank you" there was a short pause between them until he broke the silence "… Who are you?" he asked wishing to get the answer.

"I'm the one who brought you here" she answered, Natsu's eyes widened, the girl looked down "I'm sorry about what happened to you" she apologized. Natsu didn't know why is she apologizing for but he decided to talk "I-it's not your fault for sure" he stated waving his hand "No, if I came earlier maybe…" she lowered her head more. Natsu looked down he didn't want for someone to carry the blame and it wasn't his fault from the start "Look… I'm a mage" he spoke.

The black haired girl looked at him "I was fighting and… it happened" he said rubbing his back of neck. The girl looked at him "So…" he looked at her "That's right it's painful... but it's not your fault to come late" he smiled a weak smile.

The girl smiled a little with tears in her eyes, the girl was really sensitive and cries quickly "My name is Natalia, what's yours?". Natsu smiled "Natsu… Natsu Dragneel".

…

In the guild~

Erza was eating her cake at the bar in front of the barmaid Mira suddenly she paused looking at the fork. Mira looked at her "What? What's wrong?" she asked. Erza put down the fork "I don't know" she said "I feel something weird".

Mira raised her head to look to find everyone busy doing something, it was quiet unusually it was because the dragon slayer was away. Natsu was away for almost 5 days until now and the guild gets quieter day by day. He was like the person that gives the guild the life, after all.

An idea popped in Mira's head "Ne, minna listen to me" she raised her voice to make everyone hears. Lucy, Gray, Happy, Erza and everyone else in the guild looked at her "It's been a while we haven't made a party or acting happy" she stated. The master looked at her "Master, I have realize that everyone has been so busy and sad in the same time" she continued.

"Natsu…" she said looking up at everyone's face "He has been acting unusually these days" Erza looked at her "Look at the guild how he acts without him, it's just without a taste" everyone looked down at the ground "Let's throw him a party to make his smile shine in the corner of the guild" she smiled.

Mira stayed silent for a moment looking at the both dragon slayers Wendy and Gajeel "You know around 6 days ago it was 7 of July and you know how important this day for Natsu and you can understand why he acted different" she looked up at them wishing to get their feelings. They stayed quiet for moments even the master stayed quiet waiting to see how they will react.

"Mira-nee is right everyone" Lisanna spoke as she stood up "Natsu have been always glad if we were happy but we never thought if he is happy or sad or being comfortable with us or not" she looked around to everyone in faces "Let's make Natsu happy like he was always making us, let's think about him even I it's a little like he always do" she said.

Wendy and Levy stood up "That's right" they spoke. Everyone started to cheer and giving ideas about having the party. Everyone was happy and decided to make their friend happy too.

…..

After 5 other days

"Natsu- san" Natalia the girl who saved Natsu from the death called him as Natsu looked at her, he was packing his bag because he will leave and he was making sure he didn't forget anything. He gave her a weak smile "Natalia" he said. "You are going already" she said.

"Ah, yes" he put his scarf around his neck covering the scar he made to himself when he was young. Natalia looked at him a bit sad because her new friend will leave and she might never see him again. After Natsu carried his bag he looked back at her, he put his palm on her head "You will miss me?" he said joking to her. Natalia smiled with tears inside of her eyes "You are not going to cry, are you?" he said.

"Natsu- san" she spoke "You are like my brother, I wish I will be able to see you again" she said. Natsu smiled to her and put his hand on her head "You will" he said.

….

At the guild

Makarov sat down looking at the bag on the table which was Natsu's bag thinking of the dragon slayer.

Flashback

A day ago a man from the same village that ordered the request to fairy tail came to the guild with the bag "Huh, who are you?" Mirajane asked looking at the person stands in front of the door. They were preparing for the party and making food for the dragon slayer "I'm from Hana* village" he spoke holding Natsu's bag in his hands "I heard that Natsu Dragneel – san was sent to get rid of the Dark guild near our village" Mira looked at the bag in his hands to realize that was Natsu's "This Natsu's bag" she spoke catching everyone's attention and make them stop working "Yeah, we went near the dark guild and we found this and no one there, I immediately came with the reward to give it to him and thank him since he didn't came to take it " Everyone stared at him.

"We don't why he didn't come but when you see him tell him our thanks" the guy said and left.

End flashback

"Master" Gray spoke, Makarov looked at him "Don't worry about flame brain" he said. "He might be lost or something" Makarov looked down "I hope so…" he said.

…..

Natsu was wearing a cloak with a hood over his head walking in the wide street of Magnolia hiding his face, he didn't really feel like talking to anyone in his way to the guild he was already prepared to tell his guild member about the accident but he wasn't prepared to tell anyone in the city about his condition. He was fighting back the pain along the way here. Hana village wasn't really away from Magnolia a lot. It was only five hours walking. His injuries wasn't really full healed but he didn't want to stay longer he just wanted to get rid of this stupid burden.

With every movement Natsu did, the pain was increasing step by step it felt like knives in his shoulder. Natsu felt like it was bleeding as the pain increased even though it was his imagination but it felt real.

He finally arrived to the guild and the painful moment arrived.

Natsu opened the door slowly to get a surprise of everyone walking and running inside of it. Everyone stopped after realizing the person standing with hood above his head. Lucy advanced carrying a large plate full of cream "Who?" she asked wondering who is the person in front her.

Wendy was sitting on the ground the smell of that person was the same smell of their beloved dragon slayer "Natsu…- san" she said. Charle looked at her then to him. Natsu took the hood of his head.

"Natsu" Lucy said happily as everyone came close to welcome him. Sadly, Natsu didn't tire himself to raise his head to look at them. Happy came flying towards him "Natsu, you came back finally" he stated happily. Erza finally showed and decided to scold the dragon slayer a little for making them worried. "Natsu, where were you? You made us worry!" she spoke. Then everyone decided to leave her to speak. Before she could say another thing Natsu spoke. "I had an accident" Natsu stated keeping his gaze at the person in front of him whoever was. The entire of the guild members went silent waiting for the dragon slayer to continue his talking.

Natsu stayed silent for a moment. He took a deep breath then he started to take off the cloak with his left hand, then the cloak fall down and revealed his cutting arm. All the guild then went silent not even breathing or making a single sound they scanned every part on Natsu's body every time they return to the same place his shoulder like they saw something wrong and making sure their eyes were lying to them. No, it can't be they didn't believe that it wasn't Natsu right. All the members were frozen until they heard the crush of the large plate Lucy was carrying. Lucy just stood there not moving with wide eyes looking at the dragon slayer her best friend feeling more and more guilt inside of her heart and the pain is growing more and more. She feels her heart's beat racing more than usual.

The guild recovered from the shock then Erza advanced close to the dragon slayer trying to find words to modify him or something. She was so nervous, afraid and felt some regret in her heart. Suddenly, Lucy came hugging Natsu tightly and crying until he felt the warm tears of the blonde were touching his neck. Natsu didn't make any move, actually he couldn't. he was so tired psychic and physically. He didn't have the power to move or talk he was very tired. As the tears fall on his neck he felt more and more pain inside of his heart. Unfortunately, this pain will never disappear.

After around 5 minutes Lucy broke the hug looking at the pink haired mage with tears falling down her eyes. She was wrapping her hands around his shoulders. "Natsu" she spoke, her voice was shaky and sad "If I just didn't make this fight with you…" Erza, Gray and Happy looked at them with teary eyes that the tears was nearing to fall.

"If I just…" Lucy rested her head on the Natsu's chest "This wouldn't happen to you" she continued. Natsu just stayed silent he couldn't say anything he just kept staring at the blonde's hair.

He didn't want her or them to get themselves blame, he just didn't want that
