Magic Can Change Someone - Chapter 4
Natsu x Mirajane x Erza
When Acnologia attacked it broke. The seal that kept his true magic away broke, his magic changed. His flames grew stronger, he became smarter, he understood what Mirajane and Erza meant. The real Natsu Dragneel has returned. Now it's time to understand who he is, who was his parents, and find out how did Makarov and Mavis know them?
"Cold..." Mirajane mumbled as she awoke from her sleep. She started looking around to find out where her heat source went. She looked to the left and saw Erza still sleeping. She looked to the right to see a empty bed.
"Natsu.." Mirajane quietly said as she looked around to see where he had gone off to.
"It's been 2 weeks already since we starting training. I already feel stronger then I've ever been. I've grown closer to Natsu, he's even admitted his feelings, me and Erza can't say the same. In some ways I wish this was a dream so I could relive it. I should've told him that I love him." Mirajane thought to herself as she laid back in her bed and looking up at the cave ceiling.
"Yeah.. that's what I'll do. Tomorrow Natsu, you become mine. Even if Erza isn't ready, I am." Mirajane then thought to herself as she smiled and started grabbing Natsu's blanket from his bed.
"Sorry Natsu, you can keep yourself warm. I can't." Mirajane whispered to no one in particular and pulled Natsu's blanket over her.
Mirajane looked back up at cave ceiling and smiled one last time before her eyes dropped down and closed.
"Morning..." Natsu said sheepishly as he awoke to see Mirajane snuggled up to him and waking up.
"Morning to you to..." Mirajane said, she then looked at Erza. "Was Erza always that far away?" Mirajane asked her self.
"So... you two look nice and cuddly." Erza said as she walked up to Mirajane and Natsu.
"What are you talking abo-.. Natsu." Mirajane said as she started looking around but then saw Natsu curled up next to her.
"Natsu..." Mirajane whispered.
"Hey.." Natsu said as he opened his eyes and looked at Mirajane.
"O... um I didn't mean to.." Mirajane mumbled as she pushed her self away from Natsu.
"It's fine, let's go find some breakfast." Natsu said as he got out of his bed and looked at Mirajane who was still in her own bed on the floor.
"Alright.." Mirajane said with red cheeks.
"So it looks like you and Natsu already have something going on." Erza said as she swiped at one of the targets with her sword.
"What?! No! But I want something to be going on..." Mirajane said and she then used some of her magic.
"Soul Extinction!" Mirajane shouted as she brought her magic together and sent it off towards a target on a tree.
"Yeah.. we're in the same boat here. I do too.." Erza said.
"Requip!" Erza then yelled as she re-quipped fast to her armor and slashed a target on a tree. Erza then jumped back quickly and unequipped her armor.
"So.. That means you've givin it some more thought?" Mirajane asked.
"Take Over!" Mirajane then yelled after asked Erza's question.
Mirajane transformed into another one of demon take overs. Satan Soul: Halphas.
"Hm.. Haven't seen that take over in a while and yes I have. I don't think I would mind sharing him. You are right in the way. Natsu would take care and love us both equally." Erza said then smiled at Mirajane who was looking at her.
"Good.. Gah!" Mirajane said then yelled in pain as she fell down the ground as her take over stopped.
"Mira! Are you alright?" Erza yelled as she rushed over to Mirajane who was now on the ground.
"Yeah.. It's been a long time since I've used that take over I guess. Natsu was right..." Mirajane breathed.
"Right about what and by the way where is Natsu?" Erza asked Mirajane as she sat next to her.
"Natsu suggested that I tried using my other take overs. Also I don't know. He left sometime early this morning." Mirajane said as she answered Erza's question.
"I wonder.. hey Mirajane when did we leave to start training?" Erza questioned as she started to think of a few reasons.
"Sometime late June... Why?" Mirajane asked.
"Two weeks... so that means we're in July sometime.. Hmm- o." Erza said as her eyes widened in what she remembered.
"O..? What is it?"
"Mira... Today wouldn't happen to be July 7th... Correct?" Erza mumbled.
"July 7th.. you mean.. The day Igneel left Natsu. O god!" Mirajane said and got to her feet. Mirajane then started running towards the cave. Erza quickly got up and went right after her.
"Where is it? Where is it!" Mirajane wondered as she started searching through her bags.
"What are you looking for?" Erza asked as she ran into he cave and saw Mirajane going through her stuff as she looked for something.
"A small sundial, so we can confirm that today's July 7th. If it is we need to find Natsu!" Mirajane yelled.
"Here! Found it!" Erza screamed as she found the small sundial.
"Alright, bring it outside!" Mirajane said as she ran outside with Erza.
"Alright.. put it in the direct light.. here." Erza said as she placed it on the ground in the direction light.
"May... June... July... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... Today's.. July 7th.." Mirajane said as she looked down at the sundial..
"We need to find Natsu!" Mirajane screamed as she started looking around for a sign of where he went.
"Natsu!"
Natsu looked to the right of himself as he heard his name get called. He was sitting up in a tree looking up at the sky. Natsu has his head against the trunk of the tree.
"Why are they calling for me..? I wish to be alone right now.." Natsu grumbled as he sighed.
"Natsu!" he heard his name get called again.
"What's going on.. over there? I know they're not in danger, it wouldn't be possible." Natsu thought to himself.
"What ev- Gah!" Natsu yelled as he was kicked in the head and fell down onto the ground.
"That's what you get for not answering us!" Erza yelled at Natsu as she gracefully floated to the ground because of her armor.
"Requip." Erza said as she changed back out of her armor to her training clothing.
"Oww.." Natsu moaned as he started to move from where he crashed down into the ground.
"Well that's what you get from not answering us." Mirajane said.
"Yeah... But is there a problem with me wanting to be alone?" Natsu asked as he walked to a tree and sat down next to it.
"No. But we do know what day it is today. I'm sorry, we just thought you wanted some company." Erza said as she joined Natsu and sat down next to him. Erza then rested her head on Natsu's shoulder.
"Being alone sucks, but when you're with your friends or... lovers you will enjoy yourself and be happy." Mirajane exclaimed and then joined Natsu and Erza as she sat down on the opposite side of Erza. Mirajane then rested her head against Natsu's other shoulder.
"Yeah... I guess.." Natsu said.
They all three stayed looking into space and saying nothing for a hour. Then finally they started moving and talking when the sun started to set.
"Come on Natsu, Erza, I think we should head back before it gets to dark." Mirajane offered as the sun started setting fast.
"Alright.." Natsu said as he still wasn't talking much. Erza and Mirajane understood so they were staying with him to support him.
"When we get back we'll start dinner." Erza offered as they peacefully walked back to the cave.
"Hey... I thought no one could get in here Natsu..." Mirajane then said as she saw someone in the middle of field with black hair and wearing black clothing. He was just standing there staring up at the sky.
"T-that isn't possible..." Natsu said as he stopped and was trying to figure out what was going on.
"Who is he?" Erza asked as she was, like Natsu, trying to figure things out.
"Hey! Who the hell are you? And what are you doing here?!" Natsu screamed out of the blue.
As Natsu screamed at the weird man, Erza and Miraajne were ready in case something was to happen. As Natsu stopped yelling they all three slowly walked towards the man.
"Hmm?" The man mumbled as he looked towards Natsu, Erza, Mirajane.
"W-what the hell... I know you. You were on Tenrou Island a few weeks ago with us!" Natsu screamed.
"Tenrou island..? Who is this man?" Mirajane asked Natsu as she kept looking at him. For some reason a tear now dripped down his face.
"Natsu..." the man said quietly.
"He knows you..?" Erza asked Natsu.
"Zeref is his name..." Natsu then said as he was ready at any notice to fight and protect Mirajane and Erza.
"Zeref?! Are you telling me that is Zeref?! The most darkest and evilest Mage in Fiore?" Erza almost screamed at Natsu.
"Yes.." Natsu said.
"That's actually him, thought he would look different.." Mirajane said as her heart started to beat faster at who this man is. "Why is Zeref here?!" Mirajane screamed in her head.
"Why are you here?" Natsu asked Zeref.
"Because... things are lining up as they should. Mavis's Fairy Sphere broke your seal. You've regained your magic and now you're here training. Just as it said you would. If things go accordingly, then your mother will be showing up at Fiore's capital during the Grand Magic Games and the war should start to hunt you and me down..." Zeref said out loud.
"My...mother?" Natsu asked as he hesitated with the last word.
"Hmm? O.. I said that out loud. I'm sorry." Zeref said as he smiled at Natsu.
"War? What the hell is going on?" Erza asked Zeref as things weren't making any sense to her.
"That's none of your concern... yet. Don't worry, you'll see soon enough. I just came here to see if it was true." Zeref said.
"What is 'it'? And how is it true?" Mirajane asked as she tried getting more answeres out of Zeref.
"Don't worry, you'll find out soon. Also if you're thinking you could take me out here and now you're wrong. You need to grow stronger." Zeref said emotionless.
Erza gulped and feared rushed through her body. "He knew.. How?" Erza asked her self.
"Let me show you." Zeref said as he raised his hand towards Erza.
"Death Wave." Zeref said as a barrier of dark black magic surrounded Zeref and went straight towards Erza, Mirajane, and Natsu.
"No..!" Natsu screamed as he awoke from staring in place. " I won't let you hurt them!"
"Fire Dragon's Fire Wall!" Natsu screamed as he blew fire out of his mouth and the fire made a wall in front on them. The fire kept the death magic away from them for a short time before the fire started to go black.
"W-what's going on? Whys my fire going black?!" Natsu asked as he tried to hold Zeref's attack back.
"Requip! Adamantine Armor!" Erza screamed as she changed into her armor.
"Take Over: Satan Soul!" Mirajane said as she transformed.
"Huh?" Natsu asked he fell forward. All of the magic from Zeref disappeared as if it was never there.
They were only able to tell that Zeref was there because where he stood was black and all the plants were dead.
"Requip!" Erza said as she went back to her normal armor.
"Natsu you alright?" Mirajane asked as she undid her take over and went to Natsu who has fallen on his knees.
"Where did he go?" Natsu mumbled as he blankly stared at where Zeref was just at.
"I don't know, but it was weird. But what worries me is what he said. It was something about Natsu's mother and a war that's coming.." Erza said as she went over the things Zeref said.
"Also he was talking about something he referred to as "it"." Mirajane said.
"Come on.. Let's head back to the cave, I can't even smell him anymore. He's got to be long gone.." Natsu said as he stood up and started heading towards the cave.
"Well.. that didn't help his mood.." Mirajane moaned with a sigh.
"Yeah it didn't, hopefully tomorrow he will be happier." Erza said as he started walking towards the cave with Mirajane.
"Morning sleepy head." Natsu said as Mirajane opened her eyes to see Natsu right next to her.
"Hey.. morning.." Mirajane said as she yawned and started getting up.
"Morning.." Erza grumbled as she woke up and stretched.
A week a is left before they return home. They have now been training for 5 weeks. On the second week of their training Zeref dropped by. Since then Natsu, Erza, and Mirajane have worried and tried to figure out what Zeref meant. But the most important thing.. Mirajane and Erza have not gotten to confess yet.
Mirajane and Erza have talked, they agreed they would share Natsu if he wanted to. But why are the two strongest women in Fairy Tail afraid to confess to Natsu?
"Hey.. I'm guessing you're not awake.." Natsu said as he looked at Mirajane who was staring off into space.
"You too huh.." Natsu said as he looked at Erza then to see her looking off into space.
"Alright, time to wake you two up." Natsu then said as he went up to Mirajane and pressed his lips to hers.
"Natsu!" Mirajane sputtered as she was brought back into reality as she finished her kiss with Natsu.
Natsu then went up to Erza and pressed his lips against hers.
"Natsu.." Erza whispered as she looked Natsu in his eyes as the kiss brought her back as well.
"W-what was that for?" Erza asked Natsu as she watched him bet up and started making some breakfast.
"Umm.. I don't know.." Natsu said as he turned around and smiled at her before going back to making some breakfast.
"Ok.. I'm going to grab some stuff to get ready." Mirajane said as she got out of her shock and started getting up.
"Breakfest is almost ready. I'm going to leave so you two can get dressed. I'll be outside training." Natsu said as he finished and only needed a few minutes before it was done. Though it was meat, it was still food.
"Alright, we'll see you in a bit.
"Fire Dragon Slayer Roar!" Natsu said as he sent out a massive stream of fire that took out anything in it's path.
"Fire Dragon Slayer Wall!" Natsu then took some if his flames and made a barrier of flames in front of him.
"Fire Dragon Slayer Point Slash!" Natsu brought his hard from the left of him to the right of him and as he did that a massive blade of fire was sent out.
"Natsu.." Erza said as she came out of the cave and for a minute watched Natsu train.
"Hey.. Breakfast ready?" Natsu right away replied as he very much remembered what happened when she didn't.
"Yeah it is, though do you think you, me and Mirajane could talk for a bit?" Erza asked.
"Yeah.. Sure. Everything ok?" Natsu asked making sure nothing was wrong.
"Yeah.. One second. Let me grab Mira." Erza said as she retreated back into the cave to grab Mirajane.
"W-wait wait! Why right now?!"
"Yes now!"
"Why?!"
"Becuase there's not better time and in a few days we'll be traveling back!"
Natsu started hearing Erza and Mirajane bicker but couldn't understand what they were talking about.
"Fine.. But if it goes wrong, it's your fault!"
"Hey.. Sorry about that." Erza said as she exited the cave with Mirajane.
"It's fine. What do you need to talk about? You both ok?" Natsu asked as he was a bit worried about them.
"Natsu..." Mirajane whimpered.
"I'm going to say it blunt, you just need to hear what we both have to say." Erza said as she brought her courage up.
"Natsu... I-I damn.. Why is this so hard.." Erza tried to say.
"Natsu I lo-." Erza stopped again. "Why! Why cant I say it?! I love him, I love Natsu. Why can't I say it?!"
"Natsu.. I-I.." Mirajane tried to confess to Natsu, but couldn't like Erza.
"Mira.. Erza.. I don't care. If you're not ready, then don't force yourself. Just know.. I love you Mirajane and I love you Erza. I'll always be there for you both. And then when the time is ready, then you can say it." Natsu said as he understood what they were trying to say Natsu then went up to Erza and Mirajane and kissed them both on their forehead.
"Thank-you Natsu.." Erza said as she hugged Natsu tightly. Natsu mentally was a bit happier then normal to hug Erza because she wasn't wearing her armor so hugging her felt nice.
"Thank-you.." Mirajane then said and hugged Natsu.
"Though my only question. Does this mean we're boyfriend and girlfriend? Or how ever that works?" Natsu asked as he smiled cheerfully at them.
"Well.. I don't see why not.." Mirajane said as she smiled at Natsu. "Natsu's my boyfriend, Natsu's my boyfriend..." Mirajane kept repeating to her self. She was happy about but it was still a bit shocking.
Grumble.
All three of them stopped what they were doing and looked at Natsu's stomach.
Grumble.
"I think it's talking.." Erza said with a laugh.
"Yeah.. I think it is. It's saying 'feed me' or something along those lines." Mirajane laughed.
"Sorry, didn't mean to ruin the moment, but I'm starving.." Natsu said with a sigh.
"It's fine.. Come on, let's eat." Erza then said with laugh as all three walked into the cave being happy. Though Erza and Mirajane were a bit sad that they weren't able to say the words.
"So this is it..." Mirajane said as she looked at the empty cave.
"Yup..." Erza said with a sigh. The cave had been hers, Mirajane's, and Natsu's home for two months. Now It was time to leave and head home. It was time for the Grand Magic Games. To find out if Zeref was lying or not.
"I'm gonna miss this place.." Natsu mumbled with a half hearted smile.
"Don't worry Natsu... you have us.." Mirajane said as she cheered Natsu up.
"Thanks.." Natsu croaked and kissed Mirajane and Erza on their lips.
"Say that now... you'll hate us in a few hours." Erza said as she laughed a bit and started walking into the forest with Natsu and Mirajane.
"And why is that?" Natsu asked.
"Because we have a 10 hour train ride coming up." Erza answered and kissed Natsu on his cheek as his mouth fell open.
If there was anyone in a 5 mile radius of Natsu at that time, you would've been able to hear him screaming "Noooo."
Boom!
"Hey we're back!" Natsu screamed as he blasted opened the shacks door which belonged to Fairy Tail.
"Hello?" Mirajane asked as she also entered Fairy Tail.
There's no one here, the Fairy Tail building looked as if it was abandoned.
"Sheesh you're late.." Natsu, Mirajane, and Erza heard a voice said.
They all three then turned around to see Laxus just standing there.
"Laxus..? What're you doing here?" Erza asked.
"Our team was waiting for you, everyone else already left." Laxus answered Erza.
"So why are you three late?" Laxus asked.
Mirajane and Erza then looked at Natsu and then back at Laxus.
"Train?" Laxus asked as guessed.
"Yeah..." Natsu said as he shyly looked the other way.
"Yeah.. trains sucks. But still let's go. We can't be late, so we've got to go fast." Laxus said as he then turned around on the dirt road and started walking away.
"Hey.. Wait! What are the teams?" Mirajane asked Laxus.
"Fairy Tail Team A is Lucy, Gray, Juvia, Wendy, Elfman, and Lisanna as reserve. Our team will be me, Natsu, Erza, Gajeel, you, and Cana as reserve." Laxus said as they all four walked to the train station.
"Wait two teams?" Erza asked in confusion. "i thought we could only have 1?"
"Heh.." Laxus laughed.
"In the rules.. It doesn't say we can't." Laxus said and smiled at Erza.
"Master's idea?" Natsu asked as he walked next to Mirajane.
"Yup.. He really wants the money.." Laxus said.
"I guess.. But it will also help Fairy Tail. 3 S class wizards and 3 insanely strong A class wizards in one team... This might be the strongest team in Fairy Tail's history!" Mirajane added as they walked.
"You're right.. Let's kick some ass." Laxus said and smiled.
"I'm all fired up!" Natsu screamed and brought his hand into the air.
Lots and lots of time skipping this chapter! Sorry! This is how I planned it and wanted it. For me at least training is a bit boring to write. So I did some interesting things and showed you the beginning of their relationship. As you see it ain't done... Erza and Mirajane have yet to say it :p so we'll hopefully see more in the Grand Magic Games. But most importantly... ZEREF! :D he made his first appearance and hinted at what is to come in the Grand Magic Games... ;) I wonder how that will work.. I really do. I haven't an idea yet xD though I loved the sound of it lol.
