Okay it seems as though enough people liked this story for me to add another chapter but I probably would have done so anyway not enough Natsu Angel pairings out there and harem doesn't really count because I mean single pairing, the same applies for other craic pairings like Natsu and Meredy or Kagura. Because the majority of this site is filled with (Pukes in own mouth at even the thought) fucking NaLu the most horrible pairing ever. Yes I get that she's the main heroine but it doesn't mean that she has to end up with the main protagonist I mean you would you say the same for Naruto then. Plus another thing I hate about that pairing is that especially on this site all the NaLu fans main plot device is the same make Lisanna look like a bitch so that other people in the fandom won't like her I mean god as if the anime doesn't shove that NaLu shit down our throats enough as is giving little or next to no screen time for other awesome characters like, Kagura, Laxus, Jellal, Gildarts, Mirajane etc. because the anime focuses so much on every single insignificant moment that has Natsu and Lucy in the same scene together. Some of the fights in Fairytail could be so much better if they cut out the power of Friendship crap, Natsu's 5 minute long speeches about how he's gonna protect everyone because they're Fairytail and would it kill them to put in a little blood now and again, I found the anime original episode of Laxus vs Tempesta for the second time probably the best and most realistic fight within the entire anime why because fair enough there was a little power of friendship but not Natsu style it was just Laxus pushing himself over the limit doing some OP shit because he wanted revenge against those who hurt his family, so if Hiro toned down the power of friendship just bit then the anime would be so much more enjoyable. Oops looks like I went on a 350 word rant sorry, still Love Fairytail and I hope you enjoy this chapter rant aside.

Natsu and Sorano were still trapped in the ravine, they weren't sure how long they had been down there but they assumed it had been a few hours at least as the moon was high in the night sky. Right now Natsu was watching Sorano rest peacefully, he dare not fall asleep afraid that their attackers from earlier would take Sorano away. Now it has always been clear to anyone that Natsu Dragneel greatly disliked the council in fact he didn't trust them whatsoever and that was further emphasised when he heard about how little the chairman valued Sorano' life, even if she was an ex-dark guild member she was still human.

"What the hell do I do?" Natsu asked himself a little frustrated although he would never admit it nor would he take it as an insult because every then and again he would have a brilliant idea. "I don't know whether to move her or not, she's probably exhausted" Natsu said to himself as he raked his hand through his hair, but his attention was once again drawn to the platinum bomb shell in front of him when he heard her mutter something in her sleep. "….." Sorano muttered once again to quietly for even Natsu's advanced hearing to pick up so lying down beside her he moved his head in close to hear what she was saying, "N-Natsu" she said speaking loud enough so that Natsu could hear her.

Instantly on reflex Natsu jumped back thinking Sorano had awoke to see Natsu staring directly at her but it turned out she was still asleep. "What the hell is she dreaming about me?" Natsu asked no-one in particular slightly embarrassed at how it sounded. But then Natsu heard Sorano say his name again but this time her voice seemed distressed and when he looked at her he could see her face was scrunched up as if she was in pain. Putting his embarrassment to the side Natsu moved back over to Sorano who was now sweeting badly resulting in Natsu checking her temperature which when he did so caused him to become extremely worried as Sorano was burning up badly.

"Shit I knew this would happen, she got a fever and a bad one" Natsu said to himself as he tried to remember what Erza had told him about how you should treat a fever which she had learned from a novel of unknown title, genre and origin. "I hope she doesn't hate me for this" Natsu said while swallowing the embarrassment that was continuing to build up within him. Getting a bowl from earlier and filling it with water from the river he set it down beside Sorano before he steeled his nerves and started to undress her all while she kept saying his name still in a pained voice.

Finally after stripping Sorano down to the bare essential as he dared not remove any more from fear of loving his manhood did the same with himself before pulling a newly dried blanket over the two of them and wrapping Sorano in a hug while increasing his body temperature. "O-okay Erza said the best way to get rid of a fever is to sweat it out, j-just because I'm doing this doesn't make me a pervert" Natsu tried to reassure himself but his body was telling him different because Sorano's soft shapely curves pressing up against his body made him very turned on, Natsu thanked whatever God watched over Earthland that his draconic heritage wasn't acting up because if it did he didn't know if he could live with himself.

Natsu knew now more than ever he couldn't fall asleep, if the attackers came along they could easily dispose of Natsu and take Sorano away before he would even be able to sense them. So Natsu was on high alert now but that was kind of when his eyes kept drifting to a certain pair of assets clad only in a black lacy bra, "Not a pervert, I am not a pervert!" Natsu continued to shout in his head while trying to avoid a certain part of his body from poking a certain part of Sorano's.

A few hours later

Some tie had passed since Natsu found out that Sorano had a fever and true to himself he managed to stay awake, although her fever hadn't completely gone it had went down considerably and she didn't look like she was in pain anymore. "What?" Sorano Groggily asked as she started to wake up freezing Natsu in place before he could even move, "Now I know what you're thinking but hear me out" Natsu said trying to prove his innocence before Sorano had a chance to actually notice the situation…which didn't last too long.

"N-N-Natsu…WHAT WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES!" Sorano shouted finally taking in both her and Natsu's attire before launching a powerful uppercut that sent the slayer a few metres into the air which seconds later landed him a few feet away from a crimson red Sorano who had the blanket wrapped protectively around her form. "Ow, dammit Sorano I asked you to hear me out, you started calling my name out while you were asleep and then I sounded as if you were in pain. You had a pretty bad fever, it isn't gone yet but I got it down as far as I could the only way I knew how" Natsu explained while holding his hands up in a defence manner.

"You used your body heat?" Sorano asked quietly to which Natsu just nodded "And you didn't do anything else" She asked this time her tone seemed a little fearful and upset, "Cross my heart, if I did something like that to you I wouldn't be able to live with myself…not that I don't find you attractive I think you're one of the most beautiful women I've ever met" Natsu said in a stern tone but continued immediately thinking she might have interpreted that in a different way, this caused Sorano to laugh but at the same time blush at the complement. But the laughter would have to be cut short as Natsu's advanced sense picked up a large group of approaching mages.

"Sorano get dressed quickly and run we've got company" Natsu said in a serious tone before putting on his trousers, sandals and scarf, "Wait what about you?" Sorano asked worryingly knowing what he meant by company. "I'll stay here and hold them off for as long as possible..." He said before pausing and turning to look at her with his usual grin on his face "Use this time escape from them and the council, use it to find Yukino" Natsu said before he started charging up his magic, Sorano didn't know what to do, she was caught between the option of staying with one of the few people who considered her a friend and was willing to go against the council for her or leaving him and trying to find her long lost sister.

"Hurry up and go!" Natsu shouted snapping Sorano out of her thoughts who placed on Natsu's vest along with what she was wearing before "Thank you Natsu!" Sorano shouted out causing the dragonslayer to smile "It was nice getting to know you…Sorano" Natsu thought to himself before being interrupted by a group of mages larger than he anticipated charge through the undergrowth into the clearing where he stood.

"I hope you know Fire won't work against me" Natsu said with a smirk on his face thinking that when it came to the information about the dark mages he could trust them on that…oh how wrong was he. This caused the dark mages to smirk evilly, "Wat makes you think we're all fire mages kid" one random member said causing Natsu to cluck his tongue, "Damn council bastards lied to me again. Hehe this might be fun after all" Natsu said before charging the group who mimicked his actions charging towards the dragonslayer "Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" Natsu shouted out angrily cloaking both arms in fire and crossing them over in the shape off an X causing two whip like tendrils of fire to spiral over a wide spread area knocking out a few mages and badly burning other.

Upon hearing the explosion Sorano turned back around to see stream of fire erupting and more explosions erupting all over the place as Natsu held his ground not letting a single mage passed him, she desperately wanted to go back and help Natsu because she even though Natsu was doing this for her so she could escape she knew that alone and without any gate keys she wouldn't survive and would most likely end up dead or being captured once again. But that was the thing what could she do to help without magic, however before she could make up her mind she was hit over the back of the head with something and darkness consumed her.

"HURRY UP YOU IDIOTS WE'VE GOT HER NOW FINISH HIM OFF!" a tall cloaked man shouted to the ground that were engaging Natsu in battle. Before any of them knew what happened a large explosion consumed the area leaving a large crater, lots of fire and smoke and very prominent murderous aura emanating from one pissed of dragonslayer.

"What the fuck do you want with Sorano!?" Natsu demanded to know as he walked through the smoke with small flames flickering off his form as he stared at the cloaked man who had Sorano slung over his shoulder. "Oh the white haired bitch I don't know but I might have a bit of fun with her before I hand her over to the boss" the man sad darkly as he ran his free hands along Sorano's pale legs. This pissed Natsu off to no ends and for the first time in his life he truly felt like he could take a life and not regret it.

"You two take care of Salamander" the cloaked man said to no-one confusing Natsu before he ran off with Natsu following behind but he was stopped by two more cloaked figures and another large group of individuals. "Sorry but she is necessary for the mission and will be coming with us" One cloaked figure said before firing some quick earth element infused punches at the slayer who dodged all but one the hit Natsu's once cracked now broken rib causing him to spit up some blood from the force of the hit.

"You're nothing but dirt beneath our feet Salamander, a lowly legal guild wizard like yourself could never hope to defeat us" The other cloaked figure said as he walked over to Natsu's downed body before he summoned a blade out of thin air "RE-QUIP!" Natsu thought with a surprised look on his face, "What did you think the mighty Titania was the only mage who knew the magic?" the cloaked figure asked sarcastically before plunging his sword downwards but was surprised when Natsu raised his up in a successful attempt to block the sword even if the sword pierced his hand.

Natsu was trying his best to hold back the pain, he had a job to do and a promise to keep he promised both himself and Sorano that he would protect her so that one day her and Yukino could re-unite. Then he heard something that made his blood boil more so than already and made something inside him snap, in the distance her heard a terrified scream that could only have been Sorano.

Immediately the cloaked figure withdrew his sword and jumped back to the other dark mages when he felt Natsu's magic energy spike but what really shocked him and the other was that all Natsu's wounds were gone, he was getting up and his face was shadowed. "You think a little power up will help you, were the equivalent of our guilds S-class mages and the rest are all B-class plus what can you hope to do by yourself" but he received no reply from Natsu apart from a low deep growl.

The next thing they saw was when Natsu tilted his head up that could all see he had changed, his face had patches of scales that had a red hue to them, his eyes were blank and had no emotion all that remained was white sclera, that was until he blinked revealing to red draconian slits for pupils. After an eerie silence Natsu roared out "Dragonslayer Secret Art; Crimson Lotus Exploding Flame Blades!" before a sea of golden flames swallowed up all the dark guild mages causing them to scream in pain before the dropped to the unmoving but most likely still alive.

Natsu looked at his arms and recognised the state he was in "Dragon Force? But how…no never mind I can use this to save Sorano. His sense even more heightened than before allowing Natsu to easily pick up Sorano's scent before charging off at speeds he didn't think he was capable of. He came to a stop in a matter of minutes but had easily covered the distance of a few miles when he came across the location of Sorano's scent which was ironically the new prison that appeared somewhat unfinished.

Charging off in search of Sorano through the maze of hallways and different levels Natsu started getting frustrated until he heard Sorano scream once more giving Natsu her exact location.

With Sorano

Sorano was sent flying by a blast of magic from the cloaked figure from before, "You shouldn't have resisted, I only wanted to have some intimate fun with" The main said before removing his cloak revealing himself to be a middle aged man with black hair a three fresh but deep scratch marks on his face. He had a sick, sadistic look on his face as he walked closer to Sorano who was badly bruised and found herself cornered up against a wall "Oh god this can't be happening, someone please help!" Sorano screamed in her mind before pulling herself into a ball.

Luckily her prayer was answered, as the man reached out to grab her the stone wall beside Sorano was bust clean open and a blur of pinkette rushed through the smoke a debris before planting a flame imbued fist into the man face ending him back through the opposite wall. "Sorano are you alright did…" Natsu started but didn't finish as Sorano latched on to him as if her life depended on it, "Please…don't leave me again" Sorano pleaded through her tears.

"Aw such a touching reunion but I'm afraid the boss needs her so hand her over" the cloaked man from earlier said as he got up seemingly unaffected and flared his magic which Natsu instantly recognised, "You use crash magic?" Natsu shouted in disbelief, he had never ever in his life had heard of another mage stupid enough other than Gildarts who used the destructive magic. "Yes my name is Marco and I'm the master of the guild but I do have my higher ups in the Baram Alliance" the know known Marco said smugly.

"If you even try to lay another hand on her I swear I'll kill you!" Natsu shouted in pure rage as he started to flare his magic, Natsu knew this was gonna be tricky even in dragon force not to mention the fact that staying in it for so long was really taxing on his magic reserves. Luckily this guy wasn't as strong as Gildarts, even with Dragon force Natsu didn't know if he'd be able to beat the ace of Fairytail, he had so much magic power that he wasn't even conscious of it. This guy Marco though was a different story, he was strong but not to the point where he wasn't in control of his magic.

"Sorano this is gonna get ugly, please all the other dark mages have been taken down and aren't getting up anytime soon just wait outside the prison for me kay" Natsu said and although hesitantly she let go off Natsu and began running to the exit. "So you really think you can take me Salamander?" Marco asked in the same smug tone, "You ain't got nothing on half the wizards I've fought" Natsu replied knowing his statement was true, fighting people Like Erza, Jellal, Laxus and Zero would give you a good measure of what sort of power you can tackle.

"Really then take this CRASH!" Marco shouted before extending his palm sending a blast of crash magic sending him through several walls but he still remained standing strong having taken most of the attack against his scaled arms. "My turn FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!" Natsu shouted before sending a roar of golden flames towards Marco who held out both his hands before shouting "Shatter!" causing the flames to split apart before solidifying into tiny golden cubes, "I can nullify any of you attacks" Marco said in a cocky tone, this caused Natsu to smile as he saw how it required Marco using two hands to cast shatter meaning he hadn't mastered it yet.

"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" Natsu shouted this time bringing to golden flames, one in each hand together and smashing it down on top of Marco who tried to use shatter but there was simply too much behind the attach and the excess of it struck Marco as well as sending him through the floor. Natsu soon followed Marco diving down to the next level seeing said dark mages body still in a crater "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu called out angrily as he covered his right fist with golden flames ready to punch the crash mage through to the next few levels of the prison.

Fortunately for Marco he managed to roll out of the way of Natsu's attack causing the dragonslayer to crash through the floor down to the bottom floor of the multi-story prison but the shockwave of the impact sent Marco flying into another wall imbedding him there long enough for Natsu to get back up to where he was. "Nimble bastard aren't you!" Natsu growled out as he climbed out of the crater while Marco pulled himself out of the wall. "You bastard how dare you, you think you can defeat me? Well then let's see you try my strongest attack!" Marco shouted in anger before he began charging up his crash magic which caused the already unstable floor to give way collapsing onto the next level and the one after the until they reached the body "ABSALON!"

Sorano stood outside the entire time watching burst of golden flames and white crash magic come from every angle of the tower until she saw the prison collapsing floor by floor. Then she heard Marco's voice "ABSALON!" Followed by an explosion and the wall near her exploding outwards along with a spiralling dragonslayer "Natsu!" Sorano shouted out with worry, although they had once been enemies he was now her friend and the person who had been the kindest to her in her entire life and she didn't want to see him get hurt for her sake.

Marco stood at the hole in the wall he made smiling viciously as he watched Natsu's body spiral through the air thinking he had finally put down the Salamander but was greatly shocked when Natsu flipped around mid-air and began charging an attack "Impossible how?" Marco questioned too shocked to move because someone had survived his ultimate attack. "Here one I learned from Laxus!" Natsu called out as he continued gather golden flames around his right fist.

"Fire Dragon's Blazing Halberd!" Natsu shouted before throwing the golden flames forward which quickly morphed into a trident like projectile that hurdled towards Macro before exploding and creating a massive crater while leaving a burned but still conscious Marco suspended momentarily in the air. This however gave Natsu enough time to return the favour and use his most devastating powerful attack. Getting into a stance similar to that of the one Gray used when he tried to cast Iced-Shell a golden magic circle appeared below Natsu's feet, the pressure of which caused the ground to crack and debris to float in the air.

"Dragonslayer Secret Art; Hidden Fire Form: Crimson Lotus Exploding Phoenix Blade!" Natsu called out before igniting his entire body in golden flames and launching himself towards Marco who could only watch in fear as the dragonslayer exploded towards him. Ramming his head straight into Marco's gut Natsu continued to fly forward the two were engulfed in golden flames which then exploded forming what looked like a spear head that continued to push through the prison walls for a good two hundred meters before Natsu threw another fist forward launching the broken form of Marco another 20 metres thanks to his enhanced strength.

Marco could barely keep himself conscious and was wishing that attack had actually killed him because what he saw now through the blood pouring down his face almost made him shit himself. Natsu looked nowhere near done in fact Marco recognised the look in his eyes, it was one that promised death, Natsu slowly started walking forward to Marco's crippled, beaten and bloodied body, "I said that I'd kill you if you ever touched her again b tater seeing what you did to Sorano I'm just going to end your miserable life here!" Natsu said in a dead serious tone and before Marco could form any sort of protest Natsu's foot had effortlessly crushed Marco's skull.

Running back to Sorano Natsu soon saw the true extent to what Marco had done to Sorano which only made him feel all the better about killing the man, "Sorano are you alright?" Natsu asked worryingly as he walked towards her unknowingly that his dragon force was dissipating. "I'm fine Nat…ow!" Sorano started but couldn't finished as she stumbled over in pin only to be caught by said Dragonslayer. "Fuck my ankle really hurts" Sorano said as she traced her hand over the swollen bruised area which caused Natsu to grit his teeth, "That fucker must have broken your ankle!" Natsu said furiously before he lifted Sorano up bridal style.

"N-N-Natsu w-w-what are you doing?" Sorano stuttered badly causing the dragonslayer to give his toothy grin "Well you can't walk like that and you got hurt because I wasn't fast enough so I'm responsible" Natsu replied causing Sorano to look down and hide the embarrassment on her face while she fidgeted with her fingers. However before Natsu could even leave there entire battalion of Rune knights Lahar included showed up although quite a few were injured but they still kept their composure.

"Hmm your Guild will hear about the charges for your destruction of the prison Salamander I shan't expect master Makarov be too happy about that" Lahar said with a stoic expression causing Natsu to pale at the thought of 'that' as punishment but 'that' would probably be taken to a whole new level this time. Shrugging his fears of the master's punishment Natsu stood firm and spoke his mind while having for a change a deathly serious look on his face "You council Bastards told me a load of shit not a single one of them was a fire mage, me and Sorano could have died and you realise that no-one in the council wouldn't have been spared Gramps' wrath not to mention the rest of Fairytail." He said in threatening tone that put Lahar slightly on edge as he was well aware of how powerful Fairytail was with Makarov as one of the Ten Wizard Saints and all.

"Hold your tongue Salamander I will not have you blatantly insult the council, that is beside the point anyway, hand over 'it'. Without a proper prison to hold her and the possibility of another attack we are left with the only option of Execution!" Lahar said in a serious voice causing Sorano's eyes to widen, unfortunately for the rune knights the mentioning of Sorano being executed re-triggered Natsu's Dragon force causing Golden flames that engulfed both him and Sorano without burning her in fact they felt loop warm at best and rather comforting.

"I'm gonna tell you the same thing I told that Marco asswhole…If you even think of laying a hand against Sorano I don't care who or what you are but I will beat you within an inch of your life!" Natsu said in a dark voice through his flames which gave his silhouette the appearance of a monster with only his shadow and a pair of glowing red eyes being visible. (A/N think of a smaller golden version of what Gildarts did on Tenrou)

The rune knights visibly flinched at Natsu's word and could literally see the murderous intent in his eyes, not to mention how much magic power he was exerting. "So you're saying we just let her go!" Lahar shouted in anger but Natsu seemed unfazed and just dropped the tower of golden flames showing his face had regained the red scales but this time his eyes stayed the same charcoal black as usual.

"I can see you're not gonna drop it and luckily I don't think it would be worth my time beating the living shit out of you despite how much I would enjoy it so I'll make my only compromise" Natsu offered the now truly enraged Lahar who was gonna have to let this pass in order for the plan to work despite how much the dragonslayer was getting on his nerves. "Fine what you propose?" Lahar asked in a curious tone keeping his acting up while he internally smirked knowing full well what the dragonslayer would offer.

"Simple really, Sorano joins Fairytail and if that isn't enough then I'll watch over her myself" Natsu said shocking Sorano but before she could say anything the slayer continued, "As things stand you have nowhere where Sorano can stay and be safe from attack, hence why Fairytail is perfect, even if no-one else in the guild will I will protect her from anyone or thing because she's my friend and is important to me. This means the council won't be attacked anymore and won't risk any prisoners being able to escape…so do we have a deal?" Natsu asked in a neutral tone while unconsciously tightening his grip on Sorano who couldn't form words or make sense of what Natsu was saying.

"I promised I'd protect you and make sure you found your sister didn't I?" Natsu said in a caring tone as he looked Sorano in the eyes while this time being able to feel his Dragon force dissipating. "Very well Salamander have your way but one wrong move on her part and well you know" Lahar said before swiftly turning on his heel and ordering his men to move out all the while Sorano couldn't fathom what had happened. "Because of Natsu I'm getting a second chance" Sorano thought to herself so overjoyed that she began crying which caused Natsu to start panicking.

"Shit what's wrong was it something I sa…" Natsu started but for the umpteenth time that day couldn't finish, this time because Sorano had silenced him by planting her lips on Natsu's briefly before pulling away with a look of pure happiness and joy on her face that almost caused Natsu's heart to skip a beat, "Thank you Natsu" she said with an ear splitting smile before resting her heard on Natsu's shoulder leaving a very speechless and embarrassed Dragonslayer. Who then decided through his jumbled up thoughts that he better take Sorano somewhere where he can get her some proper clothes, food and a place where he could patch up all her injuries all while thinking "She kissed me" over and over again until he came upon a small town where he could get everything h needed.

In the time it took Natsu to get to the village Sorano had decided to fall asleep using Natsu's shoulder as her pillow, walking into a hotel carrying Sorano Natsu received a few looks from some of the occupants in the lobby but he just ignored them and their really insulting comments as neither now nor here was the best time to go off on a beating rant. Placing a very large sack of Jewel that Natsu had somewhere on his belt he asked the lady at the reception desk three things "Excuse if there are any free rooms can we have one and could you please send some food up to the room it doesn't matter what just make sure it's a lot and if it's not too much trouble could you please send for a doctor my friend needs to get checked out" Natsu said in a caring tone while holding Sorano tightly. Luckily there were still some rooms available and after giving Natsu the key the dragonslayer walked up to the room before setting Sorano down on the bed which caused her stir.

"Oh sorry did I wake you?" Natsu asked before taking a seat at the foot of the bed, "Yeah but I had a good sleep. Where are we?" Sorano asked as she tried to sit up but immediately regretted doing so when she felt immense pain around her mid-section. "Looks like you still need your rest, don't worry we're in a hotel and I asked the receptionist if she could send up food and send for doctor to check your injuries after that I will go buy you some clothes after all we can't have you running around with my vest and some dirty prison rags." Natsu said before giving her his thousand watt smile.

A few had passed and Sorano was sleeping once more on the bed after devouring most of the food that was sent up and she had been bandaged up by the doctor which had now given Natsu the time to buy her some decent clothing that in his own opinion he thought would look good on her, at least in the worst case scenario they would do until they got back to magnolia where she could buy her own clothes if she wanted to.

"Let's see this would should do nicely" Natsu said to himself as he carried a mixture of casual clothes pyjamas and dresses out of a shop but froze upon remembering he was missing a few necessities, "Shit I can't be seen buying those by myself, people will think I'm a perv or worse" Natsu said to himself before turning around and walking back into the store to find a receptionist, preferably a female one. "Oh did you forget something sir?" asked one of the female receptionists with a smile.

"Yeah but I think if I'm seen buying what I need then it will cause all sorts of misunderstandings so could you…" Natsu said before whispering what he needs to the receptionist, "I see that would cause some misunderstandings but do you know what sort your girlfriend wears or likes?" The receptionist asked with a cheeky smile as she watched Natsu light up like a Christmas tree, "S-she's not my girlfriend, she's just a friend…I think" Natsu replied whispering the last part as he remembered the kiss they shared. "SUUURRRREEEE!" the receptionist said very sarcastically, "But do you know what type?" she asked this time a bit more sternly, "They were black and lacy" Natsu said recalling what he had seen Sorano wearing before while he unknowingly had a nose bleed thinking of it. "Okay but I'm gonna need a specific size" she asked to which Natsu immediately replied "Big" he said simply causing the receptionist to sweat drop.

"Now I mean were they A's, B's, C's you know cup size?" she said pulling out a chart with all the different sizes confusing the dragonslayer greatly so Natsu like the innocent little lamb he was asked "Where are yours on this?" only to receive a slap across the face "Ow, what the hell lady? I was asking because I don't know shit about this cup business!" Natsu yelled in response getting him some precarious looks from other individuals in the shop but the dragonslayer just shrugged them off. "Wait you've got be joking?" the receptionist asked receiving a blank stare from the pinkette, "Nope I'm not joking" Natsu deadpanned earning an exasperated sigh from the woman in front of him.

"Fine" she said before pointing to the C-cup size, now that Natsu had a better idea of the size he began thinking what thinking what sort of size Sorano would be, "Well she's definitely bigger than that so if I had a guess I'd say she's a D-cup over maybe a bit bigger" Natsu said finally giving the receptionist an idea of how what size he was looking for. Leaving for a few moments the receptionist left Natsu at the desk before returning with an assortment of underwear. "Her these should fit her while being to her liking, that will be 20,000 jewels please" The receptionist said sincerely with a sweet smile on her face.

Reaching into his pocket albeit reluctantly Natsu handed over the jewels before trying to give his best smile and leave, "What the fuck how can clothes that cover so little be so fucking expensive, I don't care how much she needs these next time but I won't be buying them again, Sorano can go commando for all I care…shut up Natsu you're not a pervert" Natsu started thinking angrily at how expensive the clothes were but then upon his internal suggestion began to imagine what Sorano would look like until he once again tried to reassure himself he wasn't a pervert like Gildarts and the other old geezers in the guild.

Upon arriving back at the hotel they were at Natsu found Sorano still fast asleep in the hotel room, he then set the clothes to one side Natsu went over to the Bed before gently nudging Sorano awake. "Ugh how wong was I asweep for dis time?" Sorano asked her words slurring as she yawned causing Natsu to laugh. "A few hours, after you wolfed down the food you instantly fell asleep, oh and I decided to get you some clothes" Natsu said pointing over to the mountain of shopping bags causing Sorano to sweat drop.

"Um Natsu I think that's too much" Sorano said to which the dragonslayer smiled, "Trust me it isn't and if it is it just means that I won't have to take you clothes shopping for a while and I think after all the times Mira, Lisanna, Erza and Lucy have made me goes shopping with them that I would know what is an appropriate amount of clothing" Natsu then involuntarily shivered at the memory of the shopping experiences.

"I'm telling you just remembering my first shopping experience with Erza makes my back ache, instead of sensibly putting the clothes in her dimension thingy she made me haul around her big ass cart after loading it full of shopping" Natsu complained while rubbing his back. Upon hearing Lucy's name Sorano frowned remembering her last encounter with the other spirit mage and how she almost killed her, Natsu noticed and realised what was wrong instantly, "Your worried about how Lucy and the others will react aren't you?" Natsu asked in a knowing tone to which Sorano nodded, "Wouldn't you be worried if you were joining a guild whose members you almost killed not so long ago" Sorano said as she looked down sadly thinking that she deserved whatever was coming to her.

"I suppose I would be, but you told me yourself you were afraid of Brain and what he would do, not to mention the fact he has that crazy strong Zero personality and I told you that I've killed as well, I also added another person to that list but I don't really regret that after what he was going to do to you and the pain he caused you" Natsu said in a neutral tone before giving Sorano a caring smile that caused the shite haired girl to smile back.

"Only an idiot like you would say something like that" Sorano replied with a giggle, "Hey I might not be the smartest guy out there but I'm not stupid" Natsu replied in a slightly annoyed tone before smiling at Sorano whose mood had seemed to have lifted up. "Wow it's that late already? Do you want to get a bath were gonna be leaving tomorrow?" Natsu asked to which Sorano nodded "Yes I think I definitely need one but could you help me in" she replied saying the last part in an embarrassed tone.

"Okay, up we go" Natsu said scooping Sorano off the bed before grabbing two out of the many bags of clothing. Setting Sorano down on a chair in the bathroom Natsu ran the bath with cold water before using his magic to heat it up instantly. "Okay there you go, so can I have my vest back now or do you want keep it?" Natsu said asking the last part with a smug tone causing Sorano blush slightly before she flung the vest in Natsu's face. Natsu then tried to leave the room without looking at Sorano while she undressed, luckily Natsu had an iron will as strong as his stomach and managed to do so.

Plopping himself down on the bed Natsu noticed that there was now another scent other than his own it, raising the vest up to his nose he began sniffing to try and identify the scent, it was a mix of fresh air and sweet apples two things Natsu loved the smell but it was only then he realised whose scent it was, "Dammit, I've spent too much time around Gildarts and Gramps…but she does have a nice scent" Natsu started screaming to himself before admitting the last part in a relaxed tone before putting his vest back on.

20 minutes later

Natsu was taking a quick nap when he was awoken by a loud thud coming from the bathroom which caused him to become worried, "Sorano are you alright I'm coming in" Natsu said before barging in worried for his friend in case something happened. Immediately he was frozen upon entering when he saw Sorano's splayed out across the floor soaking wet and naked with her hair still dripping slightly with some strands sticking to her skin. The two stared at each for only a few silent moments before Natsu turned around cover is nose and trying to conceal how turned on he was, "Shit urge to mate rising" Natsu started saying in his mind while struggling for control over himself which could be seen in his eyes as their pupils flickered to and from their regular spherical shape to that of draconian slits.

Luckily Natsu managed to keep himself in check but he knew from how hard he was struggling to control himself that it could mean only one thing, he had very little time until mating season. Yep just like dragons, dragonslayers who take on the physical properties they also take on the cultural ones and depending on what type of dragon/dragonslayer you are it affects when and how your mating season occurs.

"KKKKKKKKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

An ear piercing scream was all Natsu heard next and it caused him excruciating pain thanks to his enhanced sense of hearing which he wasn't so thankful for now. So Natsu did the only thing to remedy the situation, slam the door and apologize profusely. "Oh my god Sorano I'm so sorry I was just worried when I heard that thud and, and….please don't kill me!" Natsu begged while bowing in front of the door half expecting Sorano to come out and deliver some divine punishment, well what else could he expect when he spends so much time with Erza.

"Natsu its okay but I need help slipped and fell and now I can't get up." Sorano shouted out to Natsu after a few awkward moments, "I've got a towel on just help me would you" Sorano then shouted in a slightly annoyed but still embarrassed tone, steeling his nerves once again, Natsu entered the room thankfully Sorano had a towel covering herself up which only half help because Natsu could see that is was just about hiding all the important areas which turned him on although not as much as before. Walking over Natsu then picked her up, "So where should I put you?" Natsu asked trying to avoid eye contact.

"May as well set me on the bed because I'll only need you to carry me again if you put me on a chair" Sorano replied also trying to void eye contact. So doing as he was told Natsu set Sorano down on the bed before going back into the bathroom to get more towels and the clothes from earlier. "Okay as long as you don't need anything else I'm gonna take a shower "A cold one"" Natsu said while thinking the last part, "Sure go ahead I can handle the rest" Sorano said before taking one of the towels and drying her hair allowing Natsu to leave.

Another 20 minutes later

After finally returning from his cold shower Natsu felt very much relieved and as he re-entered the main room wearing he regular outfit minus his vest, he saw the room was in complete darkness apart from the moonlight that was filtering in through the windows. He then saw Sorano fast asleep with a smile on her face laying on the bed wearing a pair of lilac coloured pyjamas that had white polka dots on them. "Cute" Natsu thought to himself while smiling, now he could clearly see why she was called Angel in the Oracion Seis, the way the moonlight shone on her face illuminating her features made her seem like a real life angel.

It was then that Natsu heard a knock on the door, "Sorry to bother you but the doctor said he forgot to give these to you" Natsu heard a voice say before he opened the door to see one of the male workers in the hotel with a pair of crutches in his hands causing Natsu to internally scream, "Are you fucking kidding me!" he mentally screamed seeing that this could have avoided any awkwardness between him and Sorano.

After thanking the worker and giving him a substantial tip Natsu took the crutches and set on a table in the room before gently setting himself down on the bed before he began thinking of how the guild would react, truth be told he had no idea and that it would result in some cold shoulders for a while especially from his team having been involved in the Oracion Seis incident themselves, but if there was one member he would be expecting violence from it was Loki having learned of his history. Eventually Darkness began to take Natsu as his eyes started feeling heavy "Guess I'll have to protect from more than just the council" Natsu thought while staring at Sorano's sleeping form before drifting off to sleep.

Fairytail 3 days later

3 days had passed since then and the members were beginning to get worried about where Natsu was and why he hadn't returned although Makarov for a different reason, "WHERE IS THAT BRAT IF HE THINKS HE CAN RUN AWAY FROM HIS PUNSIHMENT HE DEAD WRONG!" Makarov shouted out in his titan form causing a few of the member's pity for the dragonslayer to over shadow their worry. The reason why Makarov was so pissed was because 2 days ago he received a letter from the council which just so happened to be another bill much to Makarov's dismay. However upon reading the letter accompanying the bill Makarov had several miniature heart attacks as the bill just so happened to be the most expensive in Fairytail history, the figures went passed the seven digit numbers so it seemed like everybody was gonna have to help pay this one off.

This didn't alleviate Makarovs anger as he then stormed off into his office to create a new punishment, one that would that would make 'that' look like it was created for pussies, he called it 'The Natsu' seeing as how Natsu was the only person who could ever cause such a monstrosity of a mess that It would cost that much to fix, with the exception of Gildarts who had just lost his secondly title of 'Master of Disaster' which the crash mage was none too happy about, after all he never like losing.

"Damn I almost kinda feel sorry for flame-tard…almost" came the voice of Fairytail's resident ice-make mage Gray Fullbuster, "Come on Gray at least show a little sympathy for him, from what Gildarts said the master has developed a completely new punishment so evil and traumatizing that it even scared him" Lucy spoke in a slightly frightened tone leaving a shocked Gray and frightened Gray.

The commotion died down when the doors of the guild burst open gaining the attention of the guild, however team Natsu recognised the Female in the doorway but not the second figure whose face was obscured by a mountain of bags, "Angel what are you doing here!? How the hell did you get out of Prison?" Lucy shouted in anger while the rest of the guild soon looked on with the same emotion having heard from team Natsu who Angel was and her involvement in the Nirvana incident.

The next thing the guild saw a bright flash of Gold as Loki opened his own gate and charged forward in pure anger while charging his regulus impact. "I'll never forgive for what you did to Karen!" Loki shouted before throwing his fist forward causing a small explosion but when the smoke cleared the results of which left a shocked and puzzled Loki who soon felt Pain as a flaming right hook smashed across his face with such force it sent him crashing into the bar top.

"Jeez Loki I didn't take you for the type who would hit an injured woman" a familiar voice called out through the smoke, "Natsu what is the meaning of this!?" Makarov roared out while Erza and the rest of team Natsu and some other guild members got into fighting stances and flared their magic. But Natsu didn't stand down even when Erza stand forward, "Natsu answer the master's question" Erza said in her most menacing tone while flaring her magic knowing that would get Natsu to reveal anything.

"Sorry Erza but that isn't gonna work on me and I need to talk to gramps in his office, if anyone of you even think of hurting Sorano I won't hesitate to return the pain tenfold" Natsu said in a serious tone surprising everybody. "Stay close to me alright" Natsu said in caring while staying close to Sorano who only nodded and looked rather depressed. "Sorano?" the entire guild asked in unison, "Yeah she has a name hey happy could get this shopping for me and take It back to my place" Natsu said before asking a favour from his adoptive son/best friend, but before the exceed could respond "There's 10 of your 10 favourite fish in it for you" Natsu added which was followed by an "AYE SIR!" and then a blue blur disappearing from the guild along with the shopping.

"So gramps are we gonna talk?" Natsu asked his voice taking on a casual tone, but he received no answer. "Look guys I get why your acting like this but Sorano isn't a bad person plus whether you like it or not she's joining the guild and gramps I'd appreciate it we could hurry up because I need to check Sorano's ankle" Natsu then said for the first time the guild had heard in a responsible tone. After hearing this the guild finally realised that Sorano was injured and on crutches.

"Very well child come with me" Makarov said with an audible sigh walking off to his office on the second floor before Natsu followed in toe carrying Sorano to help her up the stairs making another stellar spirit mage quite jealous. "You know you don't have to do this, I'm willing to accept my punishment, I don't want to hurt the relationship between you and your friends" Sorano said when Natsu put her down at the top of the stairs before Natsu delivered a light tap to her head "Ow"

"Idiot, how many times are you gonna make me tell you this, I promise I'll protect you from anyone or thing, you're my friend and I never let me friends down. Besides we still gotta find Yukino right?" Natsu said in a caring tone before patting her on the head "Yeah, thanks" Sorano said before smiling fondly at the dragonslayer drawing the attention of a few of the female members. The two then continued to Makarovs office leaving a very stunned guild and a silently fuming team Natsu minus Wendy.

Makarov's office

"So care to tell me what happened on your mission that you brought back an ex-dark guild member AS WELL AS THE LARGEST BILL IN FAIRYTAIL HISTORY!" Makarov half asked half shouted at the slayer who was trying to remain composed in his seat. "First off gramps I'll pay bill I'm sure I have enough, second l need you to listen to everything I'm about to tell you without interrupting okay?" Natsu asked in a serious tone to which Makarov nodded. Natsu then told Makarov of everything before and during the mission, it took well over an hour to get in all the details meanwhile Sorano remained quiet during the entire conversation with a sullen look on her face.

"I see then we have greatly misjudged you my dear and you have my utmost apologies on behalf of my guild" Makarov said in a calm and collected voice, "Had it been any other member of our guild then I might have had a harder time if not chose not to believe you at all." Makarov then said gaining a confused look from Sorano, "What do you mean, any other member?" Sorano asked finally speaking up.

"You see my dear over the years I've known Natsu I've noticed that despite being a stupid destructive rambunctious teen-"Hey!"-he is one of the best judges of character I've ever known so when he can usually tell when someone is ling or faking and from what Natsu has told me you are definitely a good person who was set on the wrong path by a twisted individual." Makarov said in a fatherly tone, "Everyone in Fairytail is family and I'd be honoured to make you a part of it" the old titan mage continued bringing out a stamper with the guild mark on it. "So what colour and where do you want your mark?" Natsu asked excitedly while Sorano just started to tear up, "How can you be so forgiving of my sins?" She asked through her sobbing.

"We all have them, everyone in Fairytail has them ranging from small insignificant matters to ones such as your own, we can't look past sins, we can never forgive or forget them but we never judge by them and I as a guild master could never forgive myself if I let a young soul plunge into the darkness when they have been lied to and misguided by another actions, it's up to you Sorano to choose if you will join the path of the light" Makarov said in a wise tone before handing the stamp over to Natsu while Sorano just remained shocked at Makarov's words.

"So, colour and where?" Natsu asked once more with his usual smile, "Pink, left shoulder" Sorano said lift up her shirt sleeve before Natsu pressed the stamper against Sorano's skin leaving a pink Fairytail emblem.

"Welcome to the family Sorano"

Chapter End

Wow 9k, one of my longest chapter. I don't know about you but I really am satisfied about this chapter and am getting really into this story, Sorry if the fight seemed well shit, I've never been that good a fight scenes. Next update will most likely be Natsu and Ur story then my NaLi one and then my Edo Wendy one. As far as ideas go I know I have stated I hate NaLu and always will but I recently read a Natsu, Layla pairing and I really liked it and have no idea why, essentially Lucy is the same person as her mother but I still find myself Liking her mother better, maybe it's because we have never seen what Layla was like so in the story she was just given her own personality and abilities apart from celestial spirit magic and I just enjoyed he character, so long story short a Natsu/Layla story idea has made its way onto my very long idea list of Fairytail stories. Anyway hope you all enjoyed reading this chp as much as I enjoyed writing it and remember leave a review follow or fav.
