Chapter 3 : House Visiting

The red haired mage shuddered remembering the whole Natsu-almost-dead incident. She couldn't believe Natsu was-

"Erza…...Erza"

"ERZA"

Erza flinched as her thought got cut off. She looked toward the black haired mage who looked pissed at her.

"What's wrong?" she asked with a calm voice.

Mirajane and Gray glanced at each other then they looked back at Erza.

"We should be the one who asked. You are spacing out." Gray stated raising his eyebrow at the calm face of the most scary woman in Fairy Tail.

"I am fine" Erza replied

Gray rolled his eyes. As if I can believe that said sarcastically in his head. He darted his eyes to Mira then pointed his empty glasses.

Seeing this Mira smiled "Alright I will fill it". She grabbed the glass and walked to the bar, leaving both of them.

"So, what's wrong?" He asked the same question again at Erza hoping to get a different answer this time.

She sighed looking at the empty glasses before she replied him "Say, Gray. Do you know anyone named Lucy?" She suddenly asked him with a serious face.

Gray blinked hearing her weird and sudden question." Who's that?" he asked back not knowing why Erza even asked him in the first place. She should have known that the ice wizard wasn't a type of guy who knew many woman.

"I don't know" her answer earning a puzzle look from Gray "But apparently Natsu knew her." She stated, finally telling him the fact that also made her curious.

"Natsu did?" Gray asked not believing what Erza had just said. He was sure there wasn't anyone named like that in Fairy Tail and Natsu was hardly interacted with any girls. The only girls Natsu had known were either his nakama or his enemy even sometimes he didn't even remember their faces and names. Saying he only remembered a strong girl.

"Is she a part of guild?" Gray asked out of curiosity.

"I don't know. Never heard of her "Erza shook her head

Gray thought hard about this Lucy woman. Somehow he felt he knew this Lucy. But he couldn't remember her. Or maybe it is only my feeling. Giving up to remember he thought to ask more of the details "When did Natsu tell you about her?"

Erza went silent for a couple of second before she opened her lips to answered "A week ago"

At this answer Gray eyes widened. "You mean when Natsu-"

"Yes" Erza nodded before gray could even finish his words "I think she somehow connected of what happened to Natsu on his previous mission."

He frowned at this idea "You mean she is the one who did all of that to Natsu?"

"No, she isn't" Erza answered fast without hesitating a bit.

"What made you so sure?" Gray furrowed his eyebrow at her confident tone.

"I can tell" Erza looked up, gazing at the clear sky from the window near her. "From the way Natsu said her name." She smiled a bit.

Gray stared at her. Confuse written all over his face before he finally sighing "It didn't matter." He murmured softly but loud enough to be heard by his companion. He took a deep breath before saying his next words. His voice came out more frustrated that he thought "After all, Natsu didn't even remember about it"

...|...|...

"tsu….Natsu" Happy called him. He frowned when he saw Natsu didn't even stir from his sleep. Seeing this he huffed. There is no other choice. He sighed as He flew to one of Natsu ear.

"NATSUUU" Happy shouted as loud as he could.

Hearing this loud sound straightly from his ear Natsu jumped out from the shock as the result he fell from the bed. His face landed first on the hard floor. Groaning in pain he opened his eyes slowly. He found Happy near him whistled and put an innocent face when he look at him accusingly.

"What time is it?" Natsu mumbled still feeling a bit sleepy he yawned.

"12 in the morning"

"Eh, that late already?" Natsu blinked "Why didn't you wake me up, Happy?" he pouted at him while in reply Happy rolled his eyes at him "I tried to" he huffed.

Natsu grunted,and got up from the floor. He wanted to wash his sleepy face.

"Hey, Natsu . You are hard to be woken up lately." Happy stated, glancing at Natsu who was now stood in front of mirror. "Did you have a nightmare?"

Noticing the worried tone in his tone. The sleepy mage glanced at the blue cat showing him his usual goofy smile. "Don't worry I am fine." He shouted cheerfully.

Happy stared at him not really convinced by his word. "Really?"

"Of course" Natsu answered before he washed his face with a cold water. He stared at his reflection. Somehow he had already gotten used dreaming about her. "If only she was real" He whispered at the mirror then he started to blush realizing his own thought.

"Natsu?" Happy looked at him with a weird look, noticing Natsu weird behavior and his weird expression.

Noticing the weird look Happy thrown at his face Natsu laughed with water dripping from his face. Grabbing the towel near him His lips slowly curled up into a wide smile "Actually. It is kind of a good dream."

...|...|...

"Natsu this isn't the way to the guild" Happy reminded Natsu noticing that the path the dragon slayer took wasn't their usual route to the guild.

"It's fine. let's just walk around here" Natsu replied with a wide grin glancing at every direction as he hummed happily. Actually he didn't know where he was going but somehow he felt his legs had a mind on its own and guided him as if this was his usual route.

He stopped his feet glancing at the his surrounding. His eyes catched a sight of a house. It seemed liked as if he couldn't see his surrounding anymore as his eyes kept staring at that particular place. That building wasn't small but not too big either. It looked rather plain but somehow there was a comforting aura surrounded it. He stared at the house feeling like he had already seen it a hundred times but he just decided to ignored that feeling.

"Natsu, what's wrong?" Happy asked following his gaze as he found it weird how Natsu face brightened up at that sight of that unfamiliar building. "Oh. that is a nice house." Happy exclaimed after examined the house closer.

"Yes, it is" Natsu whispered softly that even Happy couldn't hear it. "Hey, Happy lets check it out." He grinned, thinking that it was such a good idea.

Happy frowned hearing his "But Natsu, what if the owner of that house showing up and mad at us?". He shivered at this thought in his mind he visualized a figure of a girl kicked them throwing them out from window.

"Nah. It's fine. I think this is an empty house" Natsu said with confident tone. Before Happy could replied his too optimistic comment Natsu had already jumped toward the window. Seeing this, The blue cat sighed and followed his trace.

"Natsu, why did you come through window?" Happy asked him, tilting his head at his odd action

"Just feel like it" Natsu answered shortly. The truth was he even didn't realize what he was doing. Before he knew it, his legs had already jumped toward the window like it had already memorized that action.

"Look Happy. It didn't has a lock in it" Natsu cheered happily, opening the window easily. The sight of the room greeted him. He looked around excitedly taking a good look at all the things that had been there "Hey, Happy check this out" He turned to Happy, pointed at the room then walked casually into the room with his goofy smile.

"Natsu. How many times do I have to tell you, use a DOOR."

"Eh?" Natsu startled almost lost his balance as he heard a girl scream in his ears. He eyed his surrounding carefully feeling a bit nervous. "Hey, Happy. Did you hear that voice just now?"He asked panicked after failed finding the owner of that voice. He wondered if it was the owner of the house.

"What voice?" Happy tilted his head confuse at his question. "I didn't heard anything" He replied as he entered the room by the window taking a better look at that place.

Natsu blinked hearing his answer. Maybe it was only his imagination. He said to himself crossing his hands on his chest as he pondered about this .Or maybe it's a ghost?. His eyes sparkled at this assumption

"Hey,Happy. Do you think there is gho-" Natsu couldn't finished what he wanted to asked as he found Happy dissapeared from his sight. He looked around and find him flying towards the staircase. He could only watched seeing the exceed dissapeared from his view as he headed towards the downstairs with a smiling face.

He smirked noticing that he wasn't the only one who enjoyed this little expedition

Now that his question had been forgotten and he was alone in this room. His attention fell towards the bed beside him. It was rather smile and looked like only one person could fit this be-. No way two person can. He argued in his mind denying his words that he only thought just he didn't have any valid reason for that statement.

Looking closely,the bed looked so comfortable in his eyes. He couldn't resist to jump on top of that fluffy bed but he almost regret it as soon as he did what his mind told him as it caused dusts scattered on the air and some of it got in his nose making him sneezed hard in result.

After sneezed he rubbed his nose and that was when he catched the smell on that room. He blinked after he sniffed the smell. He couldn't believe he didn't smell it before when he entered this room. Even thought the smell was only left a little for him to picked up but it was there, a nice scent of flower and a bit vanilla too. Must be the previous owner. Guessed him inhaling the scent as much as his nose could collect. He hummed enjoying the nice scent.

Being in this room making him kind of nostalgic. It smells like home. He mumbled without his realize.

"Natsu, lets go. There is nothing interesting here" Happy showed up interrupting his little relaxed time, He made a pout on his face and mumbled about the lack of fish in this house.

Natsu laughed in respond "Alright, let's go to the guild." He walked to the window without a second though.

"Natsu, why don't we use a door instead?" Happy made a suggestion.

"But the window wasn't locked" Natsu replied,without looking at Happy sulking face. He was ready to jump from the window.

"That because if I lock it you will end up destroying my window."

Natsu reflectingly stopped his legs from jumping. His eyes widened as he held his breath."That voice again" He muttered, turning back fast he scanned the room eyeing it more carefully than before but still he only found Happy and him in that room.

"Natsu?" The exceed asked noticing how his face suddenly became a bit pale.

"Hey Happy did you hear a v-" He bit his lips stopping his words to came out. He sighed he didn't want to make Happy worried about him. Especially like a last week, he remembered how frantic he became. "Never mind. Let's go to the guild now."

"Aye" Happy followed him cheerfully.

Natsu jumped and landed safely on the ground. He took a last look at the house staring at it intently like expecting something to pop out from there.

"Natsu, hurry up" Happy shouted already flew ahead ignoring the pink haired mage who still froze on the same spot.

With that shout Natsu back to the reality. Looking at the blue cat figure who kind of far from him he pouted "Wait for me" He shouted back. Running to him screaming how sneaky the blue cat was.

"Natsu, See you tomorrow."

He heard a soft whisper from behind him. His legs somehow responded as his steps slowed down until he completely stopped on his track. He fought the urge to turned around and without even glancing back he ran again this time with full speed ignoring the uneasiness in his chest and thinking that it was only his ears played trick on him.

First he was having weird dreams and now he was hearing someone else voice in his mind. He groaned thinking about all the weird events around him. He needed something to make him busy or else he would gone crazy because of this

Maybe I should take a new mission. He wondered thinking about this option in his head. Yeah. A mission sounds like a good idea. He grinned continuing his full speed running unaware of the pair of red eyes who was watching him.


"Impressive" she whispered to herself licking her lips as she let out that word. The word that should be belong to a category of compliment sounded like a cursed word coming out from her red lips. Her red eyes became darker as she kept watching the pink haired image on her Lachryma ball.

"To come this far, he really is interesting"

Her lips curled up slowly, forming a devilish smirk. "Maybe I should make it more interesting" Her red eyes glowed and her face darkened as she mouthed her idea.

"Then let's just punished this little dragon slayer-" she smiled with the kind of smile that could made anyone shivered if they saw it. "a little bit" she added with a low yet dangerous voice. She smirked licking her lips once again as she stared at the innocent face of the pink haired mage.
