AN: Hello everyone and thanks for checking out the next update for my story. This fic so far has been all about Natsu and MiraJane starting to get together as a couple, and that will continue to be the number one focus. However in the beginning of this chapter we're going to introduce the villain who is trying to take down Fairy Tail. He's going to be a completely evil homicidal jerk so hopefully you won't be too turned off by the bad guy. Don't worry though after the early part we'll get to Natsu and MiraJane's "date" by the old tree. I know the characters may be a little OOC, but in my defense you never actually see them in situations like this so how do we really know. I hope to update again in about two weeks or so. Thanks for reading and as always I'd love to hear your thoughts.


Tsugandere Iwao was a very tall and pale black haired wizard. He held an incredible darkness inside of him, and a personal grudge that had burned an unimaginable dark spot on his already pitch-black soul. This darkness had let to his alter ego "The Fairy Killer". The man whom he paid to be his ear on the streets had just returned and informed him that the one known as Titania had been going around gathering information on "The Fairy Killer." The incident last week when he strangled that little white haired girl had done it's job. He wanted to get on the radar of Fairy Tail, and he knew that every member of that guild loved each other so killing one of them and letting the other girl escape put them steadily on the path of vengeance. He knew they were certain to seek him out and he relished the opportunity to murder each and every one of them until only that little piece of shit Makarov was left.

He couldn't wait to see the look of pain in that little old man's eyes as he struggled with the death of all of "his children". The same look of pain that Iwao himself looked upon the vanquished body of his own mother the day that shrimp of a man murdered her in front of his eyes. The sorrow he had carried in his soul for all these years would be paid one hundred fold on that little bastard. Every single person he held dear to him would be stripped away from him until Makarov himself just begged to be killed, a wish that Iwao would never grant as he wanted to make the old man live with the hollow feelings of loss that had plagued him for these past thirty years.

A smile crossed his lips as he remembered how that little fairy bitch squirmed in his hands as he crushed her throat. There was nothing like the rush of watching the desperation in someone's face as the last seconds of their life flashed across their eyes. He couldn't wait until he got that chance again, until he could kill the next member of the guild he hates so much. It would not be with Erza quite yet. She was much too precious to Makarov, he would save her for the very end and let Makarov watch up close as her life was choked out of her.

Iwao grabbed the latest issue of Sorcerer Magazine off his coffee table and flipped it to the article on Fairy Tail. He turned to the page that was a picture spread of one of the newest members, a pretty little blond celestial wizard named Lucy. He licked his lips as he looked at the picture of her in a bikini. He had found his next target, but with this one he might not kill her right away. He did always have a thing for blondes so he could have some fun with her first, and then chronicle that fun with some pictures and videos that he would be more than happy to share with Makarov.


MiraJane stepped out of the guild, done with her waitress and bartending duties for the day. With every step she took she could feel the butterflies in her stomach getting more and more crazy. She was so nervous and scared about her meeting with Natsu by the Old Tree in South Gate Park. She couldn't remember feeling this way since she was taking the S-class wizard exams years ago. Though it wasn't exactly the same, this felt so much more intense.

MiraJane was still so worried that Natsu was going to tell her that he thought this was all a mistake and that they shouldn't see each other anymore. She didn't know how the need she felt for him had become so urgent in just a twenty four hour period. She remembered going over to yell at him. She was so full of anger but then somehow she ended up making love to him over and over again all night. She blushed a little as she remembered just how incredible it felt to have Natsu inside of her, and how her body tingled everywhere he touched her. She just couldn't wait to have the feeling of his rough and callused strong hands caressing every inch of her. To feel the heat of his breath tickle her nipples as his mouth greedily devoured her flesh.

MiraJane tried to shake the fantasies about the pink haired dragonslayer out of her head. MiraJane still didn't understand what came over her last night. In all the years she knew Natsu she had never really thought about him like that, yet somehow when she was holding him as he cried for the loss they both shared she felt an overwhelming desire and need for him. The thing that surprised her even more was that since they've separated the feelings for him have continued to grow and grow. The sense of guilt about stealing Natsu from Lisanna was still there as well, but it was being quashed by the intense need that had been dominating her entire existence for the past day.

MiraJane was lost in her thoughts and before she knew it she had reached the outskirts of the South Gate Park. She felt her heart speed up as she walked down the stairs and saw Natsu standing there. She smiled as he had apparently changed into an outfit she had never seen. He still had his usual scarf but he was wearing a black shirt with buttons and astonishingly they were buttoned all the way up, and he also wore a pair of black sort of dress pants. She giggled at how weird, but still insanely cute he looked.

MiraJane took a deep breath before she made her way over to him and called out, "Hello Natsu."

Natsu smiled and waved and said, "Hey Mira, wow you look beautiful."

MiraJane laughed a little and said, "Thanks Natsu, that's sweet, but I'm just wearing my usual work dress, I'm surprised to see you in some real clothes."

Natsu answered a slight blush on his cheeks, "Oh these I've had em in my closet for a while and I know it's just your usual, but you always look great."

MiraJane got right in front of him and there was an awkward moment of silence as neither was exactly sure what to do. Natsu gave a nervous little chuckle as he said, "I've never been so nervous just to talk to one of my friends before, it's kinda weird."

MiraJane panicked a little at hearing that and she said flustered, "I'm sorry Natsu, I didn't mean to make this weird. I don't know what came over me last night. We can just forget about it and go back to the way we used to be if that's what you want. I'm so sorry!" Then she turned away tears starting to form in her eyes.

MiraJane started to run away, but she felt Natsu's hand grab her wrist and spin her around and pull her into his arms. Natsu squeezed her tightly and then whispered in her ear, "Shh Mira, I didn't say it was a bad weird." He then kissed her forehead and said, "I didn't mean to scare you, I'm just very new to this, it's not every day you do THAT with one of your oldest friends."

MiraJane nuzzled tightly into his chest, feeling so happy to be wrapped up in his big and strong arms and immensely relieved that he didn't let her run away. MiraJane said quietly, "I know it's a little strange Natsu, I'm not really sure what we should do either."

Natsu asked, "Do you regret it?"

MiraJane shook her head fiercely and answered, "No not at all, do you?"

Natsu answered, "No, but I still feel bad about Lisanna. It doesn't seem fair to be doing that when she's only been gone for a week."

MiraJane said, "I know Natsu. I do too. But I like to believe that she'd want us to go on with our life, and that she'd be happy that we were here for each other. She loved both of us and she wouldn't want us to wallow in misery forever."

Natsu pulled her into his embrace tightly again and said as he squeezed her, "You're right, it's just hard."

MiraJane said, "I know I've never been so happy and sad all at once, it's crazy."

They held each other like that for a few minutes saying nothing until MiraJane looked up her eyes full of apprehension and doubt as she asked, "What do we do now Natsu? Last night can be a one-time thing if you want."

Natsu couldn't help but feel disappointed as she asked that and he answered, "I don't know Mira. If you want it that way it's ok with me, I just want to be there for you however and whenever you need me. I don't want you to feel any pressure, I'll be here for you always, (he swallowed nervously as he said the next part) the sex isn't important."

He cupped her hand in his cheek and stared deeply into her eyes as he said, "Just tell me what you want Mira, like I said I'll be here for you no matter what."

MiraJane was mesmerized by the warmth and love in his eyes as he stared into hers and she blushed shyly as she said, "Can I tell you the absolute truth Natsu, and you won't think any less of me?"

Natsu answered sweetly, "You can tell me anything."

MiraJane got even redder as she said, "I don't want last night to be the only night we spend together. I want you to hold me and kiss me and love me every night."

She felt nervous as she finished saying that, and looked hopefully up into Natsu's eyes desperately curious to how he would react to her statement. Natsu cracked a smile and then leaned in and she felt her lips tingle in anticipation as his hot breath tickled them the instant before his lips crashed down onto hers. The butterflies that had been flittering around in her stomach felt like they exploded in ecstasy as his tongue invaded her mouth and captured her tongue in a passionate embrace.

The two kissed like that for some time until they eventually came apart, both breathing hard. MiraJane rested her head on his chest a content smile on her face, all of the doubts and fears that had been plaguing her mind the entire day dispelled by that perfect kiss.

Natsu looked down at her and asked, "Does this mean you're my girlfriend now Mira?"

MiraJane looked up and smiled wide as she enthusiastically nodded and answered, "Yes it does."

Natsu smiled and said, "All right, that's one giant fish that Happy owes me."

MiraJane stared at him with a puzzled expression plastered on her face and asked, "Why is that?"

Natsu answered with a goofy laugh in his voice, "I bet him that I'd get a girlfriend before he got Carla to go on a date with him. So looks like I won."

MiraJane said, "So we're going to tell everybody?"

Natsu nodded and said, "Why wouldn't we, I want everyone to know that the prettiest girl in Fairy Tail is all mine." Then Natsu kissed her again.

Once they broke apart again Natsu grabbed her hand in his and said, "Let's go eat dinner, I'm starving."

MiraJane nodded and then let him pull her by the hand out of the park. He turned back and gave her the cutest smile and she just felt her heart soar. She was so happy. She was in a state of shock, she just couldn't believe that she was Natsu's girlfriend.
