Her Hidden Powers
Chapter 1: Lonely and Broken
It had been been a long day and the 2 tired silhouettes had finally came onto a village that they could rest at. They had been training for an entire year now and where on their way to the Grand Magic Games. The little blue exceed was floating above the pink hair man, that had grown significantly longer and unruly. Natsu and Happy had been living out in a remote field in a set of mountains to the far East. Somewhere close to a river (to Happy's delight) and somewhere that wouldn't burn down with his practising. He was proud of him self for how much stronger he had become and was excited to crash the Grand Magic Games . . . . .Natsu Style! They approached the village immediately looking for an Inn that they could crash at for the night. Finally spotting it in the stance. I wonder how Lucy and the others are doing? Did they train as well? I wonder if anyone is mad at him for leaving them to go train with no notice. Well, no notice besides the note to Lucy. Lucy . . . . . . . . . . Should I have brought her along? It is probably better that I didn't. I needed space to think. With everything that had happened and the fact that I wasn't sure of my feelings for her. I needed time to think without the guilds pressure of seeing us as a couple. Finally, I was able to determine what was in my heart during training. She was one of my best friends. Hell, I'd even say more like a sister. She was like family to me but not in the way that everyone wanted. I hope she feels the same and falls for someone else. Hope it's not the Ice Princess, though. Well, honestly, he would take care of her and I just want her to be happy. The person that has always had my heart was Lis . . . . . . Right as Natsu started to think of the Take Over Mage he saw her beautiful white hair coming out of the Inn they where heading for.
" Lisanna!" Natsu and Happy shouted in unison. Natsu ran over to the lovely Mage and wrapped her in a huge hug with an even bigger grin on his face.
"Hi . . . . .Na . . . Tsu!" Lisanna said, while getting the life squeezed out of here. "Good. . . . To . . . .See . . . You! . . . . . AIR!"
Realising he was squeezing too hard he released his dear friend (and crush) so she could breath, to her delight. Looking up he noticed the other 2 Strauss siblings were standing just behind her. He gave them both life crushing hugs as well. " Elfman! Mira! Good to see ya!" Natsu was so happy to see his dear friends.
"It's been a long time Natsu. You are looking even more Manly!" Elfman said as he flexed. This caused Natsu to start showing off his muscles making the girls giggle.
"Seems you have gotten a lot stronger Natsu. And Happy you seem to be doing well also." Mira said in her sing songy-like voice as she looked to the blue cat that had made his way into Lisanna's arms. He snuck into them as soon as Natsu released her from his bear hug, because the little cat missed Lisanna as well.
"How have you guys been? What have you been up to?" Natsu was saying as we was looking excited back and forth between them all.
" We have been training to get more Manly! Oi! Natsu! Wanna spare?!" Elfman had been saying as he started to flex again. Natsu's ears perked up at the mention of sparing. He cocked his head back and laughed with little fire bites spurting out and his fists starting to flame up.
" Now you two, calm down. We are in the middle of town and have errands to do before it gets to late." A slightly annoyed Mira said. Even though she missed the guild, she didn't miss cleaning up after all the impromptu sparing's and fights.
" Are you also staying at this Inn too Natsu?" Lisanna asked, hoping he was.
"We just got here, but yea. We are just staying the night, then we are off to Crocus for the Grand Magic Games." Natsu said as he looked towards the pub. "We better get a room before they are gone. We will see you guys later!"
Natsu had walked away into the Inn before waiting for an answer, giving a gentle wave in the air to the group. Happy slipped out of the white haired mage's arms to join his fiery friend.
Walking into the Inn they were greeted with a nice cosy little lobby. There was a small front desk with a middle-aged Brunette standing at it. Approaching the desk the employee said, "Welcome to Meadows Inn. My name is Tua! How may I help you!" She had her eyes focus on the pink haired boy with the blue cat on his shoulder. Well, you don't see that everyday.
"Yes, Hi. Um, do you happen to have a room for the night?" Natsu questioned and was met with a nod and smile. They got their room and their room key. Making it to room 136 they unlocked the door and entered a tidy little room. It had a queen bed under the window on the far wall, a little dining table to their right. Past the table was a door they guessed led them to the bathroom. Natsu closed the door and dropped his bag on the table as he headed to the bathroom to relieve himself. Happy floated to the bed and immediately fell asleep as soon as he hit the mattress.
A toilet flushed followed by the shower as Natsu went for a quick rinse. A little snore came from the other room as the little Blue Exceed slumbered.
A little while later Natsu had finished his shower, ran to the near by store to grab some food for the room, and was heading back to the inn. He let Happy sleep knowing how much they had walked today. In the lobby he ran into the Strauss's again. Mira and Elfman went into their room (which happened to be next door) and Lisanna followed Natsu to his happily chatting away. When they entered the room Happy was waking from his quick cat nap.
"Oi Happy! I got you dinner!" Natsu said as he pulled out a nice juicy fish for Happy and laid it on the table. " So, Lisanna, where are you guys headed next?" Natsu asked before biting into an apple.
"Oh, well, we aren't sure yet. We finished training, but have no where to go back to." The girl exclaimed, with a slight sad tone to her voice at the end.
Snorting a laugh, Natsu let out " Good one! You always have Fairy Tail silly." Taking another bite out of his apple." His face contorted as he chewed because he didn't understand why Lisanna looked to sad.
" Um . . . . . Natsu! You left before the announcement, . . . . . but . . . . " She trailed off. With a big sigh she finished, " Gramps disbanded the guild that day about a year ago now."
The pinked haired man's face went pale and looked shocked. "WHAT? WHY?" Natsu suddenly shouted.
Elfman and Mira open the unlocked door at the sound of the yell. "What happened?" Mira asked with a look of concern on her face.
"THE GUILD IS DISBANDED!?" The Dragon Slayer yelled with slight bits of fire slithering their way out.
Mira let out a sigh, glad it was just that and not something serious. " Yes Natsu. Right after you must have left. The Master felt it was best after everything that happened." The Strauss siblings all looked sadden at the memory of the declaration.
"Well, I was going to go back to the Grand Magic Games to challenge people to fight since I got stronger. Then, I will bring everyone back together and get this guild started again. We cant let our family separate!" Natsu declared as he dramatically looked to the sky and had a foot propped up on a chair.
" That will be wonderful! I will come with you Natsu! I want ot help get the guild back together too." Lisanna had leapt up with a fist clenched in front of her and determination on her face.
"Hell yea! I am all fired up now!" The dragon slayer said as he laughed in the air loudly again. He calmed down quickly though after his exhausted took over. "Well, I will be tomorrow. We should get some good sleep then and head out early. Are you coming too Mira and Elfman?"
"Sure. That sounds nice. We didn't have a game plan so it is nice to have a goal to look forward too now!" Elfman bellowed.
The group stayed up in Natsu's room talking for a little longer. Slowly Elfman, then Mira, made their way out of the room to head to bed. Lisanna was enjoying her time with Natsu. They were both chatting on the bed and Happy was asleep at the foot of the bed. Man, I love talk to this girl. She is so funny and caring. Feels like old times. I wonder if she feels the same way I do still. Natsu thought to himself when the conversation had gone silent and they were looking out the window.
The sky was littered with shining specks. The moon nice and bright. He looked over at his child hood and current love. The moon beams illuminated her delicate features and her beautiful white hair. She noticed him staring and blushed. Why is he looking at me like that? Lisanna thought as he heart starting beating faster.
"Lisanna . . . " Her childhood friend started to say. He didn't finish speaking. Instead, to both their surprise, he leaned in and kissed her. Shocked at first she just sat there, but soon her eyes closed and she leaned into the kiss. They were like that for a minute before slowly pulling away. "I have never stopped loving you Lisanna. Not since were were kids."
Natsu confession took Lisanna off guard. Along with the fiery expression he had on his face and the passion he had in his eyes. "Natsu . . .. I thought you and Lucy . . " she couldn't finish her thought.
"I know everyone clumps us together, but that doesn't mean I have to feel that way too. Lucy is like a sister to me. One of my very dear and best friends. But nothing more. Lisanna! Please be my girlfriend! I misse dyou so much!" Without waiting for a response Natsu kissed the blushing mage again. This time Lisanna just smiled into the kiss.
Pulling apart from their second kiss, the take over mage confirmed her feelings for him. "I love you too Natsu. I haven't stopped since our childhood either. I'd be honoured to be your girlfriend."
Sleep taking the too over they climbed under the covers, cuddled, and drifted of into a happy slumber. Happy, half asleep, got up to adjust sleeping spot after Natsu had moved a leg under him on accident.
The next morning the 4 Mages headed out after grabbing a bite to eat. They all chatted merrily as they headed out to Crocus. There was a lot of talking about their new powers and skills, who they should look for first, Natsu and Lisanna's new relationship (to Miras heart eyes filled with delight and audibly cooing), the guild getting back together and many other things.
