CHAPTER 4

Fiore, Magnolia, Train Station

"Was that supposed to be a challenge?" Natsu asked. Natsu and Mira were on their way back to Magnolia after completing the mission. "Those bandits were pathetic, let's do something harder next time." Mirajane cocked and eyebrow up.

"You say that as if there is going to be a next time." She said with a devious smile.

"In that case I guess I'll just go work with that Ezra girl." Natsu stated simply.

"NO! You can't go work with Ezra!" Mirajane shouted in horror, then Natsu smirked.

"Calm down I was just joking, why would I go work with her when we are a team?"

"You Jerk! I thought you were serious!"

"Nah I would never abandon my first real friend." Natsu said with a smile that few would ever see.

Fiore, Magnolia, Outside Fairy Tail Guild Hall

"Mira-nee! Natsu! You're back!" A small white-haired girl shouted. She ran to them and hugged them tightly. Natsu ruffled her hair.

"How are you doing Lisanna? Did anything interesting happen while we were gone?"

"Nope!" She said with a bright smile on her face "Oh but the master wants to talk with you Natsu." Mira looked concerned but Natsu waved her off.

"I'll be fine. Go take care of your siblings."

"Alright see you tomorrow Natsu."

"Bye Natsu."

"See you later." Natsu replied. Natsu turned and started walking towards the guild hall. Not many people were out and about, as it was around seven in the evening. Most people were already back in their homes eating dinner with their families. The gentle light of lacrima crystals lit up the streets as the sun started to set. Natsu entered the guild and sat down at the bar. Makarov walked down the stairs from his office on the second floor, sat down next to him, and ordered a drink.

"Natsu." He spoke.

"Yeah?"

"I received a message from the mayor concerning the bandits you and Mira apprehended. More than half of them were severely injured and needed medical attention." Natsu's eyes widened in shock.

"But I was holding back!" He exclaimed. "I used my Koumori Dragon Takeover, and even then I only used a second stage attack."

"Second stage?"

"Yeah, when I am using that soul my attacks have three stages; weak, average, strong. I used a medium level fire spell called Nova. The first stage is Blast, and the third stage is SuperNova."

"Just how strong are the third stage spells?"

"I would never use a third stage in a populated area, too much collateral damage. In a small town like Magnolia, I might actually destroy the whole town in two to three spells. There were a lot of bandits and Mira and I were competing to see who could take out the most, so I used a slightly stronger spell. I figured from what I saw of those knight people who captured me, that the bandits would be able to handle it."

Makarov look at Natsu in horror and said "Natsu I beg of you never use a third stage spell unless it's absolutely necessary, the amount of fines I would have to pay…" The master shuddered at the thought. "That aside, you spoke of your takeover as if you had more than one. How many do you have?"

"Just three master; Koumori Dragon, Blue Eyes White Dragon, and Black Luster Dragon. I don't use the other two often because then fights are never a challenge."

"Good to know. Now about the bandits that were injured. Because they are criminals no one is going to punish you, just try to refrain from overdoing it." Makarov said, now far more relaxed.

"But, I only used one spell…" Natsu said slowly. Makarov blanched, and looked at Natsu again.

"You mean to tell me that you took out seventy mages, in one spell?!" Makarov shouted.

"Yep." Natsu said in his usuall cold tone. Makarov smirked and shook his head.

"Goodnight Natsu, you truly are a Fairy Tail wizard."

"Goodnight Master." Natsu said. Makarov picked up his drink and went back to his office. Suddenly someone fell onto the bar next to Natsu.

"Heeeeeeeeey buddyyyy~, wash shup Nashtu~?" said Cana drunkenly.

"Cana get the fuck off me, you're drunk, go home." Natsu said with ice in his voice.

"Awwwwww~ why yoush gotta be sho meeeeeeean~?" Cana said with a pout.

"Because a drunk person just threw themselves onto my back."

"I'm not drunk *hic* just a little *hic* tipshy." Natsu looked at her with disbelief written all over his face. Natsu growled and stood up.

"Marco!"

"ITS MACAO!"

"A quantum supercomputer calculating for a million years could not even approach the number of fucks I do not give about your name, just tell me where the fuck Cana lives!" Natsu shouted.

"She lives in Fairy Hills, on the east side of the city, near the market."

"Thanks. I'm taking her home."

"Gee Natsu I didn't know you were such a sof-"

"Finish that sentence, and I finish your life." Natsu said with a glare. "Alright Cana time to go."

"But I don't wanna goooooo~."

"Too bad." Natsu stood up and grabbed Cana, then started walking out of the guild.

"Natshuuuuuu~, Take me baaaaaack~." Cana whined

"No."

"Pweeeeeease~?"

"No."

"Pweeeeeeeeeeeeeease~?"

"I said no!"

"Fine *hic*, you didn't have to be so *hic* mean about it *hic*." Eventually Natsu managed to find Cana's apartment building.

"Alright Cana we're here."

"How am I shuposed to get up the *hic* shtairs?" Cana asked drunkenly. Natsu facepalmed.

"Fine I'll carry you up the damn stairs."

"Yay piggy back ride!" Natsu pushed open the door and walked into the lobby. He walked up the stairs on the left and started looking for Cana's room, only to realize he didn't know Cana's room number.

"Cana what's your room number."

"One o shree." Cana said, yawning. He opened the door, walked in, and then kicked it shut. He walked into the bedroom and set her down on the bed. "Natshu."

"Yes Cana?"

"Can you *hic* help me get undreshed *hic*?" Cana asked. Natsu looked at her incredulously. She stare back with a serious look on her face, or at least a serious as a drunk person can get.

"Pwease?"

Natsu pulled off her shoes and tucked them under the bed, then he took of her socks and threw them into the laundry basket across the room.

"Arms up." He said.

"*hic* Okay." Cana obeyed. Natsu removed her sundress and threw it into the laundry basket as well. He tucked her in and went to turn off the light and leave. When he turned out the light and leave she grabbed his sleeve. "Don't leave me *hic*, I don't wanna be alone." Natsu groaned.

"Fine."

"Yay shleepover!" Natsu kicked off his shoes and socks and laid down on the bed. "You gotta *hic* get undreshed tooooo~." Natsu removed his shirt and shorts and placed them beside the bed. "Now get under the covers." Natsu obeyed.

"Happy now?" He asked sarcastically.

"Almosht." Cana said. Natsu's eyes widened as she scooted over and cuddled up to him. "You make a good pwillow." Cana said as she yawned. "Goodnight Natshu."

"Goodnight Cana."

Fiore, Magnolia, Fairy Hills

Sunshine poured through the window of Cana's small apartment. Cana woke up and glanced around. 'How the hell did I get here? And why the fuck is Natsu in my bed? Whatever I'm going back to bed.' Cana thought as she closed her eyes and went back to sleep. Then she sat bolt upright in bed as she realized just who was in her bed. 'What the hell happened last night?' she thought. "Natsu." Cana said calmly.

"Hmm?" His still half asleep form replied.

"Why the hell are you in my bed?!" She yelled.
