Chapter 3:

「 Cobra's POV」

We had left Ash's place and headed out through the desert region. Even with these things over our heads we were sweating. Ash had made sure we had enough food and water to last us until we left the desert region and arrived at Mysterious Canyon that had a small camp there that helped travelers to anywhere they wanted to go like: Holy Castle; which was one of the gaint churches in Fiore, Royal Castle; the other church like buildings, River Village; home to the Rose Garden and which was our destination, and finally Beanstalk Village; a small village full of green. Natsu seemed to be enjoying himself at the moment and I chuckled; lately I've been thinking he was regretting his decision to leave his guild and come with me but when we arrived at Ash's and he burned his insigna off that was proof he was serious and didn't regret anything. He knew he loved me and was wanting to stay by me. . .but I still didn't know how I feel about him - I mean we did have that time in the shower and I was telling the truth about taking it slow with him. We had been travelling for awhile now so I know we both couldn't wait until we got to Mysterious Canyon so we can rest and get out of this heat - even with Natsu being the fire dragonslayer I could tell he was dying because of the heat. I wiped the sweat from my brow as we continued our way through the desert, " Haruka Orihara is my new name now. . .will take me alittle while to get use to same with Natsu's new name; Rin Asuka." I thought to myself as I remembered what Ash told us.

" How you got those scars is from when you were little; rogues came in and attacked your town." Ash had told us as we nodded in understanding, " Cobra and Natsu I have gotten you two a job at the River's Cafe and told them you will be there in a couple of days so they are expecting you two." He said, " Also I have your new passports and other stuff you may need." As he handed us the passports and other things.

" Thanks for helping us out." Natsu thanked as I nodded.

" It's no problem really now you two might want to start heading out now, Mysterious Canyon is a day away if you travel now then you'll find the camp and they'll take you to where you wanna go from there." The desert dragonslayer explained as we nodded.

It had been a day and we have seen nothing but sand with the mountains in the distances growing bigger telling us where so close. I knew the magic bracelets Natsu bought back at Desert Village were beginning to wear off because he was starting to get green in the face which I knew was bad for him; but luckily we were so close, " Natsu we don't have much longer so just bare with it." I said to him as he groaned his reply. Once we finally reached to Mysterious Canyon camp Natsu sighed and I jumped down from the camal and stretched, " That feels much better." I said as I looked over to Natsu who was still on his camal - which made me chuckle, " Want me to help?" I asked as he looked at me.

" N-no I got it." He said as I sighed and watched him try to get off but with avail, " Ok I may need help." He said as I laughed, " H-hey! Don't make fun of me; my motion sickness is the cause!" He said blushing. I picked him up and held him for two minutes then leaned up and kissed him making him blush more, I then set him down and smirked looking at him.

" Well finally we're here." I said glancing around the camp which had tents set up everywhere, it also had boxes everywhere which might had been food and other supplies that they had for travellers like us. A girl noticed us and walked up to us, her blonde hair up in a high ponytail and her blue eyes shining just like ocean.

" Hello weary travellers you two must be hungry and exhausted come with me I'll show you your tent to rest up." She said as she lead us to the tent and entered it showing us two comfty beds, " You two rest up and we will prepare your meals." She added and walked out as I flopped onto my bed as well as Natsu.

" This feels nice." Natsu commented with a sigh of relief, " Being on those animals really is bad for your body."

" Body aching?" I asked as he nodded, " Come here I can help with that." I said as he got up and walked to my bed and sat in between my legs. I began to massage his shoulders, " You have a big knot right here." I told him as he sighed.

" Yeah I must've been stressed out over the pass month." He shrugged as I kept massaging his neck. I then stopped and leaned down kissing it which caused him to jump, " W-what!?" He asked shocked as I didn't hear him really as I was too busy licking his neck. I could feel him shaking in pleasure. I began to nibble on the back of his neck earning me muffled moans - I knew he was biting his lip to hold back his moans.

" Did I find a sweet spot Natsu or I mean Rin?~" I asked with a smirk as I went back to sucking on his neck.

" M-mmmh~ Cob- Haruka. . .!~" Natsu moaned stopping himself from saying my real name; which I desperately wanted him to say but I knew we had to start getting use to our new ones.

" Guessing i'm right hmm?" I said as I snaked my hand inside his trousers and under his boxers and wrapped it around his hardening manhood, " Feel good?" I asked as he trembled in pleasure.

" T-touch more. . .please." He moaned as I licked my lips.

" As you wish." I said and continued to stroke him softly and suck on another part of his neck; I glanced over to see the purple bruise I just placed on him and smirked at my handy work, " Is it alright if I bite?" I asked as he turned his head to look at me.

" J-just somewhere I can hide it." Natsu said as I nodded and continued to jerk him off and suck on another spot on the lower part of his neck, " F-Feels good Cobra. . ." He thought; knowing that I could hear his thoughts.

" God Natsu you're so hard. Knowing it's me jerking you off is making you so hard." I whispered, " You're gonna have to come soon you know that girl will be back soon." I said.

" W-what about you?"

" What about me hmm?"

" Don't you need. . . you know to be jerked off?" He asked with a blushed.

" Nah i'll be fine don't worry about it."

" You sure?"

" Yes i'm positive so now let's get you off." I whispered as I gripped around his shaft and began speed up my strokes. I could see Natsu having a hard time holding back his voice so I leaned down and kissed him hard as I sped up more. I licked his lips and he opened his mouth; giving me acess to explore his moist cavern. Our tongues battled for dominance which I won the battle clearly. His panting and small moans told me he was close and I just sped up as fast as I could. He finally threw his head back and came in my hand. I took my hand out of his pants and noticed the his escense that covered my hand. Natsu was panting hard and I licked my have clean having Natsu watch me with a blush.

" Y-you just. . ." He said as I smirked and licked my lips once more.

" Taste good Rin-chan.~" I said as he blushed deeply.

" H-Haruka!" He said as I laughed as he playfully punched me in the arm.

" I was telling the truth; now you might want to fix yourself up before she comes in."

" U-uh right well this is your fault Haru!" Natsu said with a pout as he fixed himself up.

「 Natsu's POV」

Soon after that the girl had walked in with food and gave us a moment to finish and told us to go to the big tent once we were finished then left. It was Vegetable Soup and it was delicious Cobra was still eating his and I had finished it in about a few minutes. I waited for him to finish so we could go to that big tent she told us about, " I wonder what it's about?" I asked myself.

" Same here." Cobra said.

" Damn I forgot you can hear my thoughts!" I said as he laughed.

" Of course you did." He smirked as I stuck my tongue out at him, " Well if anything it's probably about them wanting to know where we're going." He told me as I nodded.

I realized thaat this was a Escorting Guild that specialized in helping people like us go to places that we wanted to go to. There were alot of Guilds like that now: Crime Sorcière; which specifies in keeping peace, The Holy Knights; who specifies with anything having to do with the Church; guilds like Fairy Tail that specifies in serving the Magic Council and help people and defeat Dark Guilds and bring them to justice, then finally the guilds who serve the Kingdom and only the Kingdom. We walked out of our tent and over to the big one and walked inside. Seeing the girl with the blonde hair up in the ponytail, a male with brown hair that was long like Rogue's, a short male with straight black hair styled in an undercut, and another girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes standing there. The short male turned noticing us and welcomed us in, " Hello i'm Seth and you two are?" Seth introduced.

" I'm Haruka Orihara and this is Rin Asuka." Cobra introduced ourselves.

" The blonde with her hair up is Max, the brunette male is Zack and the other blonde is Kristen." Seth told us as we nodded, " I'm the one in charge here so where is it you are heading too?"

" We're heading to River Village." I explained as he nodded.

" Alright, we'll be taking the shortest route there which is through Mysterious Caverns it's also has alot of Lacrima that shine different colors so it is pretty." The girl known as Kristen said bkue sparkling with interest.

" Yes it won't take us long about maybe a day. Max will be your guide for tomorrow so we'll be getting everything ready to go. Any questions?" Seth asked.

" Not at all."

" Good you'll be leaving early in the morning so rest up and go to sleep early." Zack said as we nodded and walked out of the tent. We walked back to our tent and laid down on our beds.

" Do we really have to go to bed early?" I asked.

" I mean you don't want to be exhausted tomorrow right?" Cobra said.

" Good point." I said and laid down.

" Do you regret leaving Fairy Tail?" Cobra asked as I leaned up and looked at him.

" Where's that coming from all of a sudden?"

" Well I know that was your family you grew up with those people and you're leaving them behind, but me I'm not leaving anything behind but you are." Cobra explained.

" They WERE my family like you said but they stopped caring about me so i'm fine I wanna be with you and start this new life over. I can't take them anymore I'm not there to be the laughing stock and be ignored, unloved, and alone so i'm fine with leaving." I told him as he looked at me, " Come on get some sleep we leave early tomorrow." I said as he nodded and laid down, " Haruka i'm not going anywhere and i'm staying by your side." I said.

" Thanks Rin same here." He said with a slight chuckle as we both fell asleep.

The next morning we woke up early and headed off with out supplies and Max. There was a cave opening near the area and we walked inside. The cave was filled with Lacrima Crystals that glew many different colors. It was really pretty like Max had said - she had led us through the caverns showing us this open area with a grave stone in the middle.

" What's this?" I asked as Cobra and Max joined me.

" Oh this is the grave sight for Seth's father who founded our guild and was the one who dug this cave for us to use. He died before it was finished and that was when Seth finished it in his honor." Max explained.

" That's awesome that he did that." I said.

" Yeah he loved his father; the only thing he ever had as a parent." Max said as we walked away and kept on walking, " So what's the story on you two, are you two mages?" She asked.

" My mother and his mother were friends in this guild and we knew each other from that, but then these rogues came an attacked nearly killing everyone. That's how I got this scar and Rin got his scars." Cobra said pointing to his scar and mine, " Our parents barely got out alove and we ran and lived a normal life. Now we're going to River Village because Rin has Anxiety when it comes to magic and magic guilds like that. We use magic just not as much." He added as she nodded in understanding.

" Well River Village does use some magic, but not as much as you two probably use to." Max explained as we nodded.

" Ah I see."

" Well we're so close now you can see how beautfiul it is for yourselves." Max said, " Personally the Rose Garden is the most beautiful thing ever. It's blessed even by dragons especially the Black Rose Dragon and her daughter."

" Dragons!?" I asked shocked.

" Black Rose Dragon first time i'm hearing about it?" Cobra asked looking at me.

" Yeah well she's been here for the longest time. You don't normally see Dragons around in Fiore but I heard in Crocus there were seven Dragons that came out of some portal because of some evil man but he was stopped by some guild." The blonde went on in which I looked at Cobra.

" Yeah I heard about that too." The poison Dragonslayer said.

" Why were you shocked to hear Dragons blessed the Rose Garden Rin? Oh wait well I would too Dragons are a rare sight." Max said looking at me.

" Y-yeah that's it. . ." I said looking down at the scarf wrapped around my waist, " Has anyone ever mentioned Igneel?" I asked as they both looked at me.

" Igneel?" Max asked as she placed her fingers under her chin as if she was thinking, " Umm I don't think so. Why, is this Igneel a dragon too?" She asked.

" Oh no he's my father he left me when he was young and I just recently learned about him so I was just asking." I said.

" Well hopefully you find him one day."

" Yeah. . .same here." I said.

Once we made our way out of the cave and found ourselves on the outskirts of River Village we stood there and saw the beautiful scenery. The village was like it was divided by the river than was connected to the ocean by a same waterfall. The only thing connecting the two was a golden bridge and from where we stood we could see Rose Garden that laid right on the cliff. I glanced over to see Cobra staring at the awesome view. The many buildings silhouetted into the sunset as the sun began to set into the horizon coloring the water pinkish-orange. I was happy this was the place I wanted to start my new life and with Cobr - I mean Haruka by my side it was gonna be ok. I glanced down and saw Cobra's hand and slowly moved my hand inch-by-inch until I touched his hand with mine and he grabbed; intwining our fingers together.

" Welcome to your new home Haruka. . . Rin." Max said.

" So is this where we part ways?" I asked as she nodded.

" If anything you two can come back and visit."

" Will do." Cobra said as I smiled.

" Goodbye I hope you two love it here." She said and with that left me and Cobra alone.

" Come on let's go find that place we'll be working at." The maroon haired mage said as I smiled, " Let's start our new lives together."

" Ok." I said and we walked off.

「 Lucy's POV」

X788

Dear Mom,

It's been about week and a half since we have heard from Natsu. We're all worried for him. I just feel something is wrong here like it's as if he's not here anymore; not his precense but him being in Fairy Tail? I don't know we have asked for everyone's help. Sabertooth's, Lamia Scales's, and sadly Blue Pegasus. Sting and Rogue had told us that they haven't seen one sign of Natsu but would try everything they could do to find him. God i'm so worried for him. What we know was that he was not in that cave him and Igneel lived at; he was at a hotel in Shirotsume which Erza and Gray headed out yesterday to check it out. Natsu must've left there to wherever he is now; I feel bad for how we have been treating him lately. He must've left Fairy Tail for that reason. Loke reassures me that we'll find him. . .but I don't think Natsu wants to BE found since he has just disappeared without a trace. Mom. . .Dad please protect him wherever he is and hopefully we find him and bring him home.

Love you,

Your daughter, Lucy
