Chap 3 From vengeance, with love
Natsu felt Erza's arms slowly wrap themselves around his body, catching his attention.
"Erza" Natsu said, slowly.
Erza then felt a romantic atmosphere, like those that she always reads in her novels. She felt that the Natsu that was always childish and always fighting was being a mature gentleman that she never knew. At that moment, they caught each other's eyes; seeing one another face to face made Erza's heart beat faster. Same was happening to Natsu and thought that he might be sick - for this was the first time he had ever felt that way.
They slowly brought their faces closer, both closing their eyes and letting the moment take control of what was about to happen; But before they could, the other guild members entered the room and greeted them, catching them off guard.
"What are you guys doing here?" asked Erza, who was quite red.
Gray replied "Well we were all worried since that guy sa-"
But before Gray could finish, Natsu punched him out the room and glared at the other guild memebers, signaling them to go meet him outside the room.
As soon as Gray got up, he pulled Natsu from his collar and said to him "What the hell was that for Idio-". Before he could finish though, Natsu stop him and said
"You're the idiot! Did you ever consider what Erza would do to herself if she knew she was cursed?!"
Gray and the other guild memebers were dumbfounded with what they were hearing - Natsu caring for Erza and being serious for once. But sadly Erza heard there conversation. She was about to interrupt them but before she could, she heard Natsu said "I'll save her". This caught the guilds attention.
Gray walked in front of Natsu and said "Are you an idiot?! How can you save her? Eclipse is broken, and there aren't any dragons here anymore! And worst of all it has to be an omni-elemental dragon" clenching his fist, feeling useless for being incapable of help her.
"Then I'll beat him! I'll make sure Erza is saved even if it cost me my life" replied Natsu, who was beginning to emit small wisps of flames from his mouth. An aura of heat was surrounding him.
Hearing those words reminded Erza of the incident in the tower of heaven in which Natsu saved her from making the final decision of her life. Natsu bowed his head and begged everyone to keep it a secret from Erza until he found a cure for the Curse. Seeing the prideful Natsu lower his head for someone else, much more for the Fairy Queen, gave them a hint Natsu was dead serious. Likewise, they thought that Erza might do the second choice instead of being a burden to the guild.
Mirajane walked to Natsu, who was standing with an unshakable resolve, and ask him "Natsu, what feelings do you hold for Erza?"
The question got Natsu's attention in ways which even he couldn't describe, but he answered Mira "She is a friend and a special person to me and the rest of you".
Mira smiled and went near Natsu and whispered "That's the wrong answer Natsu. The proper answer would be that you love her". This was a big surprise to even him because even he was always denying it and thinking Erza was just a friend nothing more.
Natsu held his chest to feel his own heart beat faster as Mira mention him loving Erza.
"I… Know That…. But now isn't the time for that" said Natsu.
But Mira replied "Why Natsu? Why don't you just tell her what you really feel?"
The whole guild was wondering what they were talking about. Gray Being curious about what secret Natsu has approach mira and said
"Oi Mira! What this about flame brain keeping a secret?"
Hearing those words, everyone became more curious - even Erza was listening as Mira gathered everyone to announce Natsu's big secret; but before she could, Porlyusica said that Makarov was waking up. This postponed Natsu's secret being known to all.
As they entered the room, they saw Erza standing near the door; but all of them kept silence about Natsu said. Erza saw Natsu and smile weakly; feeling that she was a burden got her spirit down. They entered the room where Makarov was resting. They were all surprise to see the prince sitting in the window. This caught Natsus attention and he walked towards the prince and said
"We accept your Mission!" with his unwavering determination to save Erza.
Makarov slowly rose and said to Natsu "Very Good, But this time you're not alone"
This left Natsu in awe and asked "What do you mean old man"
Makarov look at Natsu and said "The members aren't just the two of you now. The following guild members, prepare to teach that punk a lesson about Fairy Tail!" Makarov said while shouting in pain on his bed. He then sat up and said, with determination to seek vengeance,
"Gray Fullbuster". Gray smiled and said "Time for some payback."
"Juvia Lockser". After her name was announce, Juvia pounce on gray hugging him nonstop.
"Lucy Heartfillia". Surprise to hear her name, Lucy faint.
"Wendy Marvel". Wendy closed her tiny fist, preparing for battle.
"Gajeel Redfox" hearing his name made Gajeel smiled.
"Mirajane Stauss". Mirajane was caught by surprise.
"Laxus Dreyer" Laxus clenched his fist, getting ready to avenge his Grandpa.
"And finally" but before he could finish his words Gildarts burst through the wall and said "ill Participate on this Quest."
"Very well the final Member is Gildarts!" this made Fairy Tail happy that their strongest members were going with them.
After 3 hours of preparation, they departed to go to Xeno-cross - which took the whole day to travel. When they arrive the Prince said "Welcome to Xeno-Cross!"
OK Guys, Cliffhanger time again. I'm trying to make it into a more realistic fairy tail fan fiction.
