Okay! Chapter six up! XD
Thanks to: Rose Tiger for your tips on really great idea songs! :D
And thanks to everyone else too! XD
I recommend you to listen to 'Eva' by Nightwish for this chapter. It's some really sad part in this, so I think it's a good song to listen to while reading! (:
This chapter is most about Natsu, maybe some Lucy in the end, if it is…. It's not going to be so much in that case. Well, read and you will find out!
Information: Just so everyone knows. This is an slow-romance fic , but there is going to be fluffy moments (in later chapter and I'm NEVER going to do lemons. I have my reasons…). Believe me ^^ and the name on this chapter is not from Bleach! I just thought it was just a good name for this chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does :P and the songs aren't mine either.
Please enjoy! ^^
Chapter six: Memories In The Rain
Osaka, Hotel Grand Vista, Thursday 09.37am
NORMAL POV;
"Yeah…
La la la la la la la la la..
Did you get my card
Did you read my love letter
Did it touch your heart
When you read my love letter
Sunny days, smiling face
Spirit filled, heaven praised
Memories in my mind
Reminiscing of good times
Miracles, so amazed
Soldiers far away
It makes me ask the question baby…
Did you read…OH FUCK THIS SHIT!" Natsu screamed and threw the guitar away. It was the third time he did this, today, and now he had enough. He got up and walked over to the window. It was raining here in Osaka. It almost rained everyday. He hated it. Just look at it made him feel empty and cold. And he hated the rain for one more reason; it rained on the day Lisanna was killed. Why did it have to rain that day? Why did it have to be her? And why did he feel so.. So powerless.?
"Natsu?" a voice came from the door. He turned around and was met with an worried Loke. "Why did you scream?" Loke asked and gazed to the now broken guitar.
Natsu looked out from the window again and sighed. "Just, I.. don't feel to well. Please leave." he said and sat down on the bed again and sighed. Loke also sighed but walked out and closed the door behind him.
When he was finally alone, he laid back on the bed and managed to put on the radio, which was on the table beside the bed.
"Good morning Osaka! How's you Thursday? If it's bad, we're goin' to fix it know! Here is 'More' by the Prince of Pop, Natsu Dragneel."
Watch me as I dance under the spotlight
Listen to the people
Screaming out more and more
Coz' I create the feeling that
Keep 'em coming back
Yeah I create the feeling that
Keep 'em coming back
So captivating when I get it on the floor
Know y'all been patiently waiting
I know you need me
I can feel it
I'm a beast
I'm an animal
I'm that monster in the mirror
The headliner
Finisher
I'm the closer
Winner
Best when under pressure
With second's left I show up
If you really want more
Scream it out louder
Get it on the- Natsu clicked the radio off and buried his face in the pillow. Memories rushed through his mind. It gave him headache. He closed his eyes and out haled. His life was messed up. Nothing more than problem and death were in his life. First his mother had died in cancer when he was four. And when he was fifteen he almost lost his life in a gang fight. Then his father disappeared when he was seventeen. His childhood friend got murdered. And now, nineteen years old, famous and everything, life was still against him. Why couldn't he find love like everyone else? Why couldn't he?
"My life is fucked up…" he mumbled and turned around so he was laying on his back. Natsu looked up in the ceiling. He thought back when he claimed the title of the Prince of Pop. It was an happy thing to remember, but yet sad.
FLASHBACK;
April 13, Friday, 2009
Lisanna looked up to a tower and there, on a big screen was a live concert playing. It wasn't just a famous person. It was her best friend and childhood companion. She smiled and laughed a bit. Natsu really had proved he could do it.
"You really did it, ne Natsu?" she said to herself and continued to watch him dance on the stage. Then she remembered she had to go home before it was to dark outside. "I maybe should take a shortcut." she turned around in a corner and walked there. Some men stood at the end, but she didn't care. She had walked past this place many times, so she wasn't scared. But what she didn't know was this were to be her last time walking there…
April 14, 15.47pm
Natsu stared at the person before him. "Can you repeat that?" he asked. He didn't believe it. This man must be lying. There is no way he meant her. It couldn't be!
"I said that we found her dead just a few blocks away from her house. By the look from the injuries to see, she was killed with a knife and probably raped. We're running a test right now." the man repeated and looked at Natsu with concern. "The police are looking after the required. I'm sorry for your loss, mister Dragneel, I truly am." with that, the mane rose up from his seat and walked out from the room. Gray who stood at the window looked at Natsu.
"She… was killed… murdered… raped." he kept muttering and tears rolled down his cheeks. "How could I let that happen? Why didn't I ask Gildarts to follow her. This is my entire fau-"
"Natsu! This isn't your fault, it's the killers fault!" Gray cut him off. Natsu snapped up and tears still rolling down. "What's done is done. Even if we wish she was alive and perfectly fine, we can't deny it. So please for her, be strong. She had wanted that." he said some softer and walked to his friend and sat down beside him. He put a hand on his collar and squeezed. Natsu dried the tears away with his sleeve. He felt better but… the emptiness in his heart ached. He was hurting. His eyes who normally was dark onyx, almost black, were now lifeless and dead, like a crow's.
Natsu stood up and walked over to the big window. Below him thousand and thousands of people stood and waited for him. He smiled a little. He couldn't back down now. He had to do it. For Lisanna, and for his fans out there. His gaze fell up on the sky. 'See you there someday, Lisanna…' he thought and turned around to face Gray.
"You ready?" he asked and Natsu nodded in respond. Gray opened the door to out to the hallway and then they were in the elevator. When they was on the first floor people screamed and cheered. Gray glanced at his friend and smirked. Natsu's eyes were back to normal, but something was missing. Or maybe not. He couldn't tell. He had to make people stay away from him. Natsu put a hand on the door and pushed it open. The lighting from the cameras blinded him first, but soon his eyes got used to it and he started to walk down to a podium. When he stood there, it went dead silent by the people around him. Girls had done a big poster there they had took an photo off him and had written; WE LUV U NATSU!. He smirked at them and they almost fainted, or it looked like they were to do that. Anyway, he taped on the microphone and tested it. When he was sure it worked perfectly fine he bent down to it and opened his mouth.
"Hi!" he said and the roars of screaming fans echoed everywhere. Helicopters flied above them in the clear skies. The sun shined down on everyone and it was a perfect day. After the crowd had calmed down, Natsu began to speak again. "I want to thank everyone who had time to come here today. It means much to me, it really do," he paused. "Just after a year of being in the music world, I could never imagine you people, actually think I'm worth to claim the title as the 'Prince of pop'. But, it all thanks to you. You listened to my music, you came to my concerts. It's all thanks to you, and just you. Each of you need to know, that you really are special. All of you is and be proud of that!" he spoke and gave them a big toothy smile. Squeals and cheering. Natsu lifted a hand and it went dead silent. "And to thank you. I want to sing my new song for you. TURN IT ON GUYS!" he jumped of the podium. Gajeel who stood at the side threw him a microphone he could hold with a hand.
The intro started and Natsu started to sing after it.
"Can you feel it, can you feel it,
Can you feel it!"
The instrumental part played and soon he began to sing again.
"If you look around
The whole world's coming together now, babe
Can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it
Feel it in the air
The wind is taking it everywhere, yeah
Can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it!
All the color in the world should be,
Lovin' each other wholeheartedly
Yes, it's all right
Take my message to your brother and tell him twice
Spread the word and try to teach the man who is hating his brother,
When hate wont do, hoo
'Cuz we're all the same,
Yes the blood inside of me is inside of you
Now tell me, can you feel it, can you feel it,
Can you feel it
Now tell me, can you feel it,
Can you feel it,
Can you feel it, yeah yeah, uhh"
Natsu moon-walked down the red carpet and the crowd went crazy. Girls were screamed like their life was in danger. Plus, it all showed up on a big screen on each of all the biggest tower in Tokyo. People who walked and even those who was driving stopped and looked at him. It was a text message on the screen; 'This Is The Prince of Pop!'.
Back to Natsu he had now finished the song and was thanking everyone again. If it wasn't for them, he maybe wouldn't be standing there right now. He would just be a normal teenage boy.
"Thank you all." he said and smiled.
END OF FLASHBACK!
A knock came from the door. Natsu rose up and opened it, just to see Loke with a tray in his hands. On the tray there was a sandwich and a glass of whiskey mixed with water. "I thought maybe you were hungry." he said and handed him the tray of food. Natsu accepted it and placed it on the bedside table.
"Yeah, thanks man." Natsu thanked and sat down on the bed again. He picked up the sandwich and took a bite of it. It tasted good, really good. "It's good." he said and gulped down the food. Loke smirked and leaned against the doorframe.
"It was supposed to taste good." he chuckled and stopped his hands in his pockets. "Oh, I almost forgot!" he exclaimed and walked up to Natsu while he took out a paper from his jacket and handed it to him. Natsu took it and read it carefully. "It came this morning."
Natsu eyes widened and he forgot about the sandwich. The letter were from Lucy.
Hi Igneel, no just kidding! I mean Natsu. I hope you're alright and healthy. I know this is kind of lame to send you a letter and we just have known each other for just, what was it, four or five days? Haha, well anyway… Gildarts is driving me crazy! He is following me everywhere, kind of creepy if you ask me. But thank you for care abut me… it's really sweet of you. And just so you know, every one at the camp miss you. Oh! And there has been new people coming to the camp. Their name is: Bora, Ultear and Juvia. They are really nice and funny. But Juvia is acting a bit strange. Haha, guess she doesn't like bugs and the other animals here. Well, take care, Natsu!
/Lucy. H
Natsu smile was big as ever. He was glad that Lucy was safe and unharmed. But what she wrote made him feel uneasy. That Juvia girl was acting strange. Loke noticed it and asked what was wrong. "Natsu? Something the matters?"
"Yeah, can you look up this Juvia person. It feels like I have heard of her somewhere before…" he answered and gave him the letter. Natsu took the whiskey glass and gulped down tills where nothing left.
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Loke said and walked out from the room. Leaving Natsu all alone again.
"What is this uneasy feeling?" he mumbled and laid down on the bed.
At The Camp, 10.12am
NORMAL POV;
Lucy sat in the cottage. It was raining here as well. She sighed and continued to read her book. It was an really good book indeed. It was called 'Dark Matter'. It was one of Michelle Paver's book. This book was an real ghost story. It even gave her Goosebumps. Gildarts was standing outside and guarded her door. She sighed again. She had asked him to come inside, but the old goat said he was fine. Lucy had doubts about that at first, but then shrugged and walked inside.
In the past day since Natsu had to go away, they had practiced on the songs they were going to show up with. And three new persons came to the camp. Juvia, Bora and Ultear was their names. They were nice people, she thought. Gildarts didn't think the same and so did Levy and Cana. Even Erza was suspicious about them.
"They doubt people to easily." she said to herself and giggled. She had wrote a letter to Natsu. She was thankful for that her cared about her. But she felt guilty to that she couldn't thank him herself. Well, she is here and he's in Osaka. Gildarts had told her that he was there. "Haha, like I did with you, Natsu." she mumbled and giggled again. She hoped they were going to meet each other again. She really hoped that would happen.
