Most of this chapter will be from Erza's point of view (god I love writing in Erza's point of view it makes it sooooooo much easier to describe things cause she's so blunt and straightforward). There will be a lil' bit in Natsu's view point but not nearly as much as from Erza's point of view. All spells and attacks will be written in bold print. Oh I forgot to mention the dark guilds name is Dark Guild. ANYWAY ON WITH THE STORY!
Chapter 3
ERZA'S POV
'Damn I enjoyed last night. I hope he did to….' I thought as I turned my head to look at Natsu shortly after waking up and realizing last night was no dream. I was lying on his arm with my head tucked into the crook of his neck and my legs entwined with his and my arms were wrapped around his body hugging him and keeping him close to me. I sighed as smiled as complete and total bliss overcame me. I sat there and stared at him for a few minutes before moving my hand on his chest up to his hair and started to run my fingers through the long locks of his rose colored hair.
I was so intent on what I was doing I didn't even notice him waking up. Out of nowhere I hear a yawn and then him say "good morning beautiful." As he leaned forward and kissed me. I acted on instinct and just kissed him back. After a minute of straight kissing we broke apart. "Does this mean we're together now?" I asked him while blushing madly. "Erza of course we are together. Did I ever tell you why Dragons and Dragon Slayers aren't very common?" he answered. 'He sounds very serious… I wonder if there's something very important about our relationship that he must tell me' I thought to myself as I shook my head in a no. "Dragons and Dragons slayers aren't common because 1. They only take on one apprentice in their whole life, and 2. We don't fall in and out of love. It can be seen as both a blessing and a curse. Blessing as it means we'll be perfectly faithful and loyal. But it can be a curse because what if the person we love doesn't share our feelings or dies? We can't move on. Igneel taught me that and made sure I knew it was one of the most important lessons he ever gave me." "Wow…. Natsu I love you if that's what you're worried about" I told him. He just looked at me and said "I know that. What I'm worried about is one of Igneel's last lessons….. A lesson that didn't finish. The last lesson he taught me was that once a Dragon or Dragon Slayer falls in love and the person loves us back we are supposed to put our mark on them. A mark showing the world that the person is ours and that we'd protect them till we die…. But he never told me how to make that mark."
I looked at Natsu and saw he was frowning. I cupped his chin in my hands making him look me in the eye. I then stated "it's okay Natsu. When we get back to the guild you can ask Gajeel if he knows how to do that. But for now don't worry about it, we've got other things to worry about okay?" he looked up at me and nodded. I let go of his face and he smiled up at me as he asked "Can we get breakfast before we get to work? I'm starving right now." 'Classic Natsu…. Always puts things aside for food.' I just looked at him and nodded. Then I used my re-equip magic to put our clothes back on and walked to the door. "Come on the sooner we eat the sooner we can stop Dark Guild." I said over my shoulder as I walked out the door. Natsu was beside me after I took a few steps. We walked to a nearby Café hoping to get some food and maybe a little info on Dark Guild. "Inside or outside ma'am?" The waitress asked. "Outside please, I'd rather have the fresh air around me right now." I replied. "Follow me then" She chirped. Once we were seated and had ordered our breakfast a man from a nearby table walked up to us and said "You look like you're here for a fight. Please tell me you're here because of the request for the destruction of Dark Guild." He said. I just nodded at him. "Well in the forest to the west about a mile in is where you'll find their guild hall. You can trust my words; I'm the one that went to the mayor with the info about this guild." He said and walked away. A couple minutes later our food came. We had our fill and followed the directions the man had given us.
We found Dark Guild no problem. Natsu looked at me smirked and said "We should thank that man for making this mission go a little quicker than it would have." I nodded and moved a head ready to put our plan into action. 'I hope Natsu doesn't go overboard like normal.' I thought to myself as I attacked the Dark Guild's guild hall. After about half an hour of fighting the guild members and destroying things Natsu and I were pretty much done. I looked around at the destruction. We had all the members we found and beat tied up to tree not far from where Natsu was standing. The guild hall was a mess, which looked more like ruins. 'Good job Natsu. This place has definitely been destroyed now. Keep up the good work and we may just make our own two person team.' I thought. "DAMN YOU INSULENT BRATS! DESTROYING MY GUILD…. HOW DARE YOU?!" Shouted a Man who just appeared out of nowhere and started attacking me. He was moving way to quick and before I could finish planning a counter attack he had me on the ground from a severe blow to the abdomen. I got back up but he wasn't paying attention to me. I panted as he ran past me and was going to attack Natsu who didn't notice any of this. 'No….. I must stop him' I said to myself mentally as I charged between him and Natsu. The man hit me hard and fast…. Hard enough to rip my skin open. Before I could blink I was on the ground bleeding from a wound to the chest looking up at Natsu who had turned around and witnessed the attack.
NATSU'S POV
'That bastard! He hurt Erza…' I thought to myself before being overcome by rage. I attacked him moving so fast that if you blinked you missed me hitting him three times. I was in a blood lust. All I could think about was killing the man who injured her. "I'll make you pay for that" I spat at him. The man just laughed and took my Fire Dragon's Roar without flinching. I jumped back and engulfed my hands in flames that were pure white and started swinging recklessly at him. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist" I shouted intending to shatter his jaw. Back flipping after delivering the blow I charged in again shouted "Fire Dragon's Wings". I stopped and my jaw dropped when I noticed the man was still standing and didn't look scratched at all. 'If this doesn't work I'll have to grab Erza and retreat' I thought to myself as I prepared for a final attack. I ran at him shouting "Crimson Fire Dragon Fist". As the cloud of dust kicked up from my attack settled I saw the man standing there just staring at me like I was an insect. Before I could even move I heard "Darkness….. CAPTURE!" Coming from the man. All of a sudden I was trapped against a tree by a gigantic hand made of pure darkness. I struggled against it with everything I had but nothing worked.
In the back of my head I heard a voice telling me "Unleash the power of fairy magic my son! Just look deep inside you for it. The fairy magic, your magic via birthright. It will come to you if you let it." I stopped struggling and took a deep breath before starting a meditation to build my magic up knowing what I needed to know would come to me. "Fairy….. Glitter!" I screamed once I had built up my magic to breaking point and heard the words inside my head. There was a flash of blinding bright light. The man's magic was no longer holding me trapped against the tree. I collapsed to the ground to gather myself. Once the blinding light had disappeared I saw Erza sitting up staring at me completely healed and wide eyed in awe. The man was out cold and I had a burning sensation on my left hand. I looked down at my left hand to see another Fairy Tail mark on me but instead of being red like the one on my right shoulder it was a golden shade. I felt Erza's arms wrap around me in a bear hug and then lost consciousness.
ERZA'S POV
I had no idea what Natsu did to create that bright light but once I felt it touch my body I instantly felt better. I sat up and saw that the wound was closing and slowly becoming nothing more than a bruise. Once the light died down I looked at Natsu in awe as words just wouldn't come to me. He looked down at his hand after making eye contact with me. As he did I ran to him and pulled him into a crushing bear hug. When I released my hug he was out. 'Leave it to Natsu to push himself to his limit, win any fight and then pass out.' I thought while smiling at him. I wrapped his arms around my shoulder and carried him over to our captured dark guild members. They promised me they'd carry the man who turned out to be the master of their guild and wouldn't give me any trouble. We got back to town and turned the men over to the authorities with no problems at all. Once they were all gone Natsu woke up. "Hey Erza do you know what happened?" He asked me as he hopped off my back. I shook my head "No Natsu but I did notice the mark on your hand. I wonder what that's about." I said as we walked to the mayor's office to let him know the mission was finished. "That was quick work. No wonder Fairy Tail was said to be the best guild out there. "The mayor said to us as he smiled and handed the reward to us. "Thank you for taking the mission and handling it so well. I hope that any requests I make for wizards in the future will be answered by Fairy Tail once more." He said as he walked us to the door. Natsu and I shook his hand and left.
We then went to the train station and bought our tickets for the ride home. Natsu was still a little tired so I loaded our stuff onto the train. Once we found ourselves a quiet little spot I sat down and Natsu laid down with his head in my lap. "So should we tell them?" He asked me. "I've got a better idea. Let's make a bet on who figures it out first. I say Mira will." I said to him. He just laughed and said "My bets on Gajeel. He'll figure something's up when I ask him about making a mark. Not to mention he's actually a lot more sensitive than most people believe." I shook his hand and said "Deal. Now just relax that way you're motion sickness doesn't get too bad." The train stopped at the station about half an hour later and we got our stuff off the train and walked to a nearby bench to figure out the battle plan. "Well it's a little late to head to the guild hall so let's go home." He said to me. "W-wait your house or my dorm in Fairy Hills?" I asked him praying he'd say Fairy Hills so that I could win the bet quicker. "Erza if we go to your dorm you'll win so no. BUT we can't both go to my house as it's too small. So how about we separate for tonight and then tomorrow secretly go out and buy a house together how's that sound?" He asked. 'Natsu's smarter than we give him credit for… I guess that is the best plan though. Who's to say if we both went to Fairy Hills that one of the other girls might figure it out before Mira…. You're clever Natsu.' "Alright that works for me. But if no one finds out by Friday we announce it to the whole guild okay?" I asked him. He nodded, hugged me, gave me a quick kiss on the lips and said "See you tomorrow my dear." As he walked away.
I woke up the next morning in very high spirits. After getting ready for the day I walked to the Guild Hall. When I opened the door I noticed nothing unusual so as per normal I walked up to Mira and asked "Nothing suspicious happen while Natsu and I were gone? Nothing bad happen?" hoping to make sure that this wasn't everyone trying to prevent me from finding something out. She just sighed as she said "Other than master saying he was leaving for a bit nothing unusual or suspicious has happened." She replied. I wasn't too shocked by the news as I knew master liked to leave us when he had personal problems. Knowing that old man he went to Porlyusica's house for a bit as he'd been doing that a lot lately. I noticed Gray was over at our team's usual table in the corner so I walked over and sat with him. "Hey Erza. How'd the mission go?" He asked smiling. "Fairly well. We actually got back late last night. We agreed to head home and then meet up here. Not for long though. Natsu wanted m y help in finding Lucy a birthday present so after he gets here we'll be leaving for a bit," I replied "Speaking of Lucy where is she?" he sighed and told me "She got sick this morning and asked me to leave her alone for a bit so she could get some sleep." Just then Natsu burst through the door. "Hey flame-brain why don't you ever open the doors normally?" Gray shouted at him. I shot both of them a death glare just to make sure they understood no fighting right now. Gray gulped as he looked at me and Natsu instantly went pale. 'Good. That outta keep them scared at least until Natsu and I leave.' I thought proudly.
"Alright Erza you ready to go?" Natsu asked me after he greeted everyone and told Mira about how "badass" he was saving my butt from Dark Guild's guild master. I just smiled at him nodded and walked out the door. "Erza are you mad at me?" he asked in a voice that sounded like he was pouting. 'Dammit Natsu… I can't be mad at you when you act so god damn adorable' I thought to myself as I shook my head at him. "I just have a couple things on my mind right now. Sorry Natsu, I didn't mean to make you mad." I told him once I realized I wasn't mad in the first place. "Well care to tell me what you have on your mind?" He asked suddenly excited. "Sure. I know we said we'd tell them Friday if no one figured it out but there are a couple flaws with that. 1. We're moving in together after we find a house 2. What am I going to tell the girls in the Dorms at Fairy Hills if we do move in together before Friday? 3. What about Happy? I mean you live with him and I don't think you want that to change so shouldn't we at least tell him?" I said to him.
NATSU'S POV
"Erza… you bring up some good points. But it's called Todays Tuesday. So we LOOK for a house today. Then tomorrow which is Wednesday we buy the one we like best. Thursday we start moving our stuff in but not completely. Friday we announce to the guild and finish moving our stuff in…. It's full proof. If any of the girls ask about it Thursday just tell them they'll find out later." I said to her. She just looked at me like I was a god. "Natsu you're a fucking genius!" she said as she hugged me real quickly. Then she pulled away and smiled at me. "By the way we've got to find a present for Lucy's birthday tomorrow. I told Gray that we were going to be out today cause you asked me to help you find something for her." She said. "No problem, Lucy really likes to read and she has a look of books so why not get her a book shelf?" I asked Erza. She clapped her hands together "Natsu that's perfect." 'Perfect just like you.' I thought.
After a few hours of looking we decided to call it quits. "Meet up at the guild hall tomorrow. We'll celebrate Lucy's birthday and then sneak off to go buy the house we agreed on okay?" Erza asked. I gave her my signature grin and stated "Of course it's okay." We kissed each other good night and walked away. I was not too far from my house when I saw Gray walking towards me. "So did Erza help you find something for Lucy?" He asked. "Yeah we figured since she likes books and has a bunch of them that we'd combined gifts to save money and get her a bookshelf." I casually replied. "Why do you two need to save money? Are you guys planning something?" He looked at me rather mischievously as he questioned me. "No. Erza's running low on cash as she gave me most of the money from the last mission because I needed 30 million Jewels to pay rent and make some repairs. I literally only have 1,000 Jewels to my name right now." I lied. "Okay. Sorry to hear that man, we'll get back to missions quickly so you can have a decent supply of money again. See ya." He said as he walked away.
'Huh…. If I ever want Gray to be real nice to me I just have to guilt trip him. Who knew?' I thought as I unlocked the door. "Happy are you there buddy?" I called out, only to be tackled into a hug. "Natsu don't ever leave me like that again! I was sooooooo lonely." Happy sobbed into my chest. "Sorry buddy. Now I have some important news okay?" I said to him. He perked up and drooled as he asked "Does it deal with fishing?" I chuckled at him and said "No my friend. Erza and I are a couple now. We hooked up during the S-class mission we took. And now we're going to buy a house tomorrow and then you, Erza, and I will live together. Is that okay buddy?" " I KNEW IT. YOU LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKEEEEEEE ERZA!" he said to me while rolling his tongue at me. "So you're okay with sharing me with her?" I questioned. "Natsu, you've taught me to trust and believe in your family. You and Erza are family so I'm okay with it." I hugged happy as I thanked him for being so supportive. "You can't tell anyone though. Erza and I have a bet going until Friday. If no one figures it out by Friday we're going to announce it to the whole guild. So please keep your mouth shut about it." I said to him after letting him out of my hug. Happy just nodded at me and said "I'm tired so I'm going to sleep. Night Natsu." "Goodnight pal." I said as I walked to my room cause sleep sounded like a good idea.
Yeah so I decided to put a HUGE gap between the story and the authors afterward seeing as how on the past few chapters it hasn't put my horizontal line between the two…. Anyway points to make with this afterward:
Yes I lied and put a quite a bit of Natsu's point of view in. Not as much as Erza but still…
Yes Natsu's Mother Is ….. (spoiler alert for those that haven't seen the full anime or manga and DON'T know who created the spell fairy glitter) Mavis Vermillion the first guild master of Fairy Tail.
No Gray is not nicer to Natsu I just made him act nice because he felt pity towards Natsu's lie about only having 1,000 jewels to his name.
Yes there definitely is more to come.
Quick question. What power should I give Erza from her father latter on?
Thanks so much for the reviews everyone I love how even with the comments on how to make it better everyone says it's a good story. It really makes me happy. Thanks sooooooo much.
Please continue to review. NEXT CHAPTER IS LUCY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY THROUGH THE ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE GUILD.
