The whole guild take a sharp gasp as it all sinks in. Clearly they know Natsu but did not know about me.

"Looking at that picture and looking at you now, I can see it. Although you have different coloured hair" Erza points out.

I nod "I got the red hair from my Papa and Natsu got the pink hair from Mama."

There is a pause before I speak again. I am leaning forward pleading this time. I can not afford to be led down another fake lead for my brother.

"Please tell me that you know where to find him."

The two mages look at me with certainty in their eyes.

"He is on a mission right now but he will be back by this afternoon. You can stay here if you want and we can tell you about his life here." Erza offers.

My heart leaps in my chest "Really?"

Gray smiles "Of course. We both grew up with Natsu. We can tell you anything you want to know."

My tears start anew as I lean over across the table and unconsciously grab Erza and Gray into a hug. "Oh wow. Thank you! Thank you so much! I can't believe that I have found him after so long! Thank you so much! Thank you for giving him what I couldn't. Thank you for…..giving him a family."

A loud bang is suddenly heard from the entrance of the guild. We all turn our heads to see a teenage male with pink spiky hair and a blue exceed flying next to him kick down the front doors of the guild. I see him grin widely as he walks stands at the entrance.

"I'm back!" I hear from the pink haired male and I see Gray roll his eyes beside me as everyone in the guild cheers in response. This must be his usual thing that he does.

As I take in more of the male's features, my insides start to turn. My eyes turn to shock as I realise who this person is. I am finally seeing him in the flesh after so many years. I just watch him as he walks up to Erza and Gray.

"Hey flame-brain. You're home early" Gray remarks

"Yeah. It was nothing! I finished the job in under an hour!"

"Aye" said the blue exceed who was now rested on his shoulder.

"Where's Luce?" Natsu asks

"She'll probably be in her apartment. She hasn't taken a job yet" Erza replies. Natsu just nods his head and turns on his heel to go back outside but he stops and moves his head upwards. I'm currently standing behind Erza just watching everything going on. Given the fact that I am quite small I am well hidden behind Erza but I am peeping out enough to get a good view of everything going on.

I watch as Natsu seems to be sniffing the air. "Is there someone new here?" I am shocked. He can tell that by sniffing the air?! Oh well. Here goes nothing. Before anyone can speak, I rack up the courage and I cough to give myself away making Erza move aside so I am in full view. I am still in shock watching Natsu is awe as he stands cautiously in front of me as if he is about to attack me. I stand on my back foot, my many years of previous fighting training coming into play as I am ready to make a move away from his path if anything happens.

"Natsu. This is Nozomi." Erza says introducing me.

"Nozomi is here with a request" Gray continues. Natsu immediately calms down and removes himself from his fighting stance and puts his hand behind his head, grinning widely to me.

"Hi Nozomi! What's the request?" Natsu asks. I try to speak but words fail me. I look to Erza and Gray for help, hoping that they realise how difficult this is for me. I am rooted to the spot staring like a deer in headlights at Natsu scared that what I say may make him run away from me.

I catch eyes with Gray and he nods agreeing to be the one to speak. "Nozomi lost her brother 24 years ago and needs our help with finding him."

Natsu's eyes go wide "24 years? Why do you need help after so long? Why not sooner?"

I watch as Gray starts to speak but I put my hand on his arm to silence. He should not be speaking for me.

"I thought that I had found him but the trail was a dead end because he was deemed dead from people that knew him. Then I discovered he was alive again at The Grand Master Games and I have been on the look out every since." There. That wasn't so hard. I just need to man up and actually say that it is him now!

Natsu just nods his head taking the information in. He smiles again "That's great! I'm all fired up! Where are we going?"

"We don't need to go anywhere Natsu" Erza says

"Nani?" Natsu says in confusion.

"My brother is part of this guild." I say. That's it. I'm getting closer. Now I just need to come out with it.

"Excellent! Who is it!"

I stare at him with sheer fear. I know that Gray and Erza want to say something but I can tell that they respect the fact that I need to be the one to say it.

After a long pause, I feel Erza put her armoured hand on my shoulder providing me with confidence.

This is it.

This is the moment I have been rehearsing in my head for 24 years.

This is the moment where my life mission has finally reached it's goal.

"It's you…..Natsu"
