Chapter Seven: The whole truth
Juvia began to regain conscious, and the rain woman saw that she was on a bed. Looking around, she noticed that she was in an infirmary of sorts.
"How did Juvia get here?" The water mage wondered as she tried to remember what happened.
Then everything came back to her. She and Natsu were fighting a dark guild, but the dark guild master was about to do something terrible to her, but then Natsu…
Wait, Natsu! Juvia eyes widen as she looked around the room for the pink haired male, only to hear a soft snoring next to her. Turning to look at the side of her bed was Natsu on a chair, sound asleep.
"Has he been watching over me this whole time?" Juvia asked herself, as a small blush was on her face that Natsu was making sure she was alright. He himself must have been worried after…
Juvia then remembered what happened. Natsu had transform into some dark creature, calling himself E.N.D in that form, and then he unleashed some sort of dark green fire attack, and that's all the blue haired woman remembered. She then looked at Natsu once more, and wondered if that form he took he got from Azeroth.
"Natsu…" She spoke quietly, however this apparently was enough for Natsu to begin to wake up from his slumber. Rubbing his eyes, he was greeted with Juvia looking at him, causing him to become wide awake.
"Juvia!" Natsu then hugged the woman; catching her by surprised and making her blushed by the sudden action. Eventually he let go of the blue haired mage. "I was worried! Are you alright?" The pink haired male asked her in a worried tone.
"J-Juvia's fine Natsu," She managed to reply to him despite the blush on her face.
Natsu was relieved that she was okay. "That's good, and if you're wondering, we're back in the town at the hospital here."
"So that's where we are." Juvia replied to him, at least she now knows where she and Natsu are. Juvia looked at Natsu, and began to ask him, "Natsu, What was that form you took?"
Natsu froze when she asked him about his other form. He then looks at Juvia with a serious look. "Alright, I'll tell you once we're out of the hospital. I don't want anyone else to overhear it okay?" Natsu asked Juvia, who simply nodded. Natsu then stood up, "I'll let the doctors know that you're okay, and then we can talk somewhere else." Natsu told her as he exited the room, leaving Juvia to her thoughts.
'LATER'
Eventually, Juvia was given the okay to leave the hospital. Currently, Natsu and Juvia were heading toward a hill that overlooked the town, since Natsu figured it was a good place to tell her about the demon form he took. After a few minutes they managed to arrive on the hill. Juvia would have made a comment about how nice the view was if she wasn't so focus on learning about that form Natsu turned into.
"Alright Juvia," Natsu began to speak as he looked at the town below, "I will tell you about that form I turned into, and I understand if you want nothing to do with me once I tell you."
Juvia was surprised by his words, "Natsu, Juvia isn't going to leave you or think negative of you about this form of yours." She assured him.
'You won't think that after I'm done telling you about what I am.' Natsu thought to himself as he turned to Juvia. "Well then, that form you saw was my demon form."
"Demon form?" Juvia questioned, as she wasn't expecting that form to be of a demon. Then again, it would explain the demonic energy she felt from him when he became it.
"Yeah, it was also that form is how I got to Azeroth in the first place." Natsu then went on before the rain woman could say anything else. "Juvia… you know about Zeref and the dragon civil war four hundred years ago right?" He asked her, who nodded, of course she would know about that. "Well… there was a reason why Zeref fell into the dark path he took."
"Huh?" Juvia responded with confusion, Zeref had a reason to become the black mage? She then listened as Natsu went on.
"You see, Zeref had a younger brother when he was young, but the younger brother had an illness that was killing him. However, fate would be cruel as the younger brother died due to an attack by dragons." Natsu told her, surprising her that Natsu knew all of this. "Zeref tried to do anything he could to bring his brother back; eventually this caused the gods of Earthland to curse him with his death magic and immortality. However… a dark force from beyond the world appeared to him. They promised him that they would give him a kind of power called fel energy to bring his brother back, as long as Zeref swore loyalty to them, and that he would conquer and destroy Earthland for them. This dark force that appeared to him was known as the Burning Legion."
Juvia was surprised to hear about this information. She didn't know why any of this was needed to know about Natsu's other form, but the way Natsu told her, it must have been important. "W-What is this Burning Legion?" The rain woman asked the fire dragon slayer.
"The Burning Legion is an army of demons, one of the greatest enemies that Azeroth has ever faced. They had founded their way to this world, to use Zeref to take or destroy Earthland for them." Natsu explained to her, surprising Juvia as she didn't know that an enemy of this Azeroth once appeared on their world. "With the fel energy Zeref was given, the black mage would go on to bring back his brother. However, the fel energy corrupted the younger brother's body, transforming it into that of a demon of the Legion. And thus, the strongest demon of Zeref was born, E.N.D." Natsu told her.
Juvia was surprised by all of this, but when Natsu revealed the name of the demon that Zeref's younger brother became, she connected the dots as her eyes widen in shock.
"Yes, I was, or am, Zeref's younger brother, and I'm the demon E.N.D." Natsu confirmed as she was shocked that Natsu was not only the brother of the darkest mage Earthland has ever seen, but was also a demon. Natsu continued his tale, "Eventually, Zeref realized how dangerous I was not only to Earthland, but to other worlds as well. He attempted to seal me away."
"A-Attempted?" Juvia managed to ask despite the shock from all of this information that Natsu had told her. "W-What do you mean by that?"
Natsu smiled sadly as he continued his story, "He planned to seal me away inside of a book that he managed to create to contain me, but instead of sealing me away, it simply send me somewhere else. Too this day, I'm still not one hundred percent sure how that happened. The only reason I can think of is simply due to my fel energy and his black magic clashing that cause some sort of reaction that had send me to Azeroth, with no memory about anything but my name. No longer in a demon body, I ended up as a small boy. It wouldn't be until the war in Outland did I learned about my past, and when I had to control my demon side. It was thanks to Zorther that I was able to finally control E.N.D. When I got send back to Earthland, due to how time can be a jerk, I ended up as a small boy once more, right in the exact spot where Zeref thought he sealed me, thus making him believed that E.N.D was sealed."
Juvia could only stare in surprise at Natsu as he finished his tale. So it was pretty much Zeref that unknowingly send Natsu to Azeroth, and something happened there that send Natsu back.
Seeing her completely still, Natsu simply turned away from her. "See? I knew you wouldn't want anything to do with me now-."
"THAT'S NOT TRUE!" Juvia exclaimed as she ran to him and hugged him, shocking the fire dragon slayer. "Juvia don't care if you are a demon! Juvia don't care if you are the brother of Zeref! You're still you Natsu! You're still one of the nicest and caring people I know! Being a demon and being related to the black mage doesn't change that!" She told him as she simply continued to hug him.
Natsu was blown away by Juvia's words and action. Even after all of that, she would still be by his side? Tears began to appear in Natsu eyes, but these were tears of joy as he hugged the rain woman back. Natsu could only mutter "Thank you" to the blue haired woman as tears went down his face as they continued to hug. He was so afraid that she would want nothing to do with him if he told her, but now he was glad that he did. Now he knew she would never turn her back on him.
Juvia simply allowed him to cry. She felt her heart beat faster and louder as they continued to stay in this position. The fact that he trusted her this much made her feel happy. She was happy that she could make him happy.
It was in this moment, that Juvia realized that she had feelings for the pink haired male, and honestly, she didn't mind at all. Unknown to her, Natsu also came to the same conclusion as well.
Alright, there's that chapter. See you all next time, whenever that will be.
