Hey guys I'm back with another chapter! I actually wasn't planning on updating this story yet, but I decided to post another chapter for two reasons. 1.) This story has gotten a ton of support since the last chapter, and I figured you guys deserved a reward. 2.) I wanted to update you guys on something that will be happening in the story, and I felt it would't be fair to post the update without a chapter to go with it. Before I get to the update, I'll tell you guys the results of the Yukino poll. Out of 50 votes, 40 were for Yukino to join Fairy Tail. So it looks like Yukino will be joining Fairy Tail later in the story. Now on to the update. I was planning on having a poll to decide whether Juvia should join Natsu's harem or not. Some of you already know about this and voted already. The way it was going it looked like Juvia was going to be in Natsu's harem. But thanks to some random fucking guy spamming with guest reviews, asking me to add Cana instead of Juvia(This fucking guy seriously sent me like 9 guest reviews saying the same thing over and over again). I've decided to forgo the poll, and just add Juvia into Natsu's harem. So it's official, Juvia is Natsu's sixth, and final girl. Thank you random guest reviewer, I was gonna give my readers a chance to decide on whether Juvia joins, but you just pushed me way too far. *Sigh* Sorry about that guys, but if there's on thing that pisses me off it's people spamming me with guest reviews that have nothing to do with the chapter/story. If this guy would have just PM'd me I wouldn't have had a problem. So yeah Juvia is in, and no other girls will be added, SO DON'T ASK! With all that unpleasantness out of the way, let's get to the fic.

(The Next Day)

"Mmm, Natsu please don't stop." Lucy moaned in her sleep. The blonde's face was colored a ruddy red, and her entire body was hot as she experienced her pleasurable dream. Lucy let a throaty moan, as she rubbed her thighs together. But since Lucy was fast asleep, she didn't notice that the dragon slayer she was dreaming about was currently watching her.

Natsu and Happy had decided to stop by Lucy's apartment, and tell her that she'd be joining them on Erza's mission. But as Natsu neared the celestial spirit mage's apartment, his enhanced hearing picked up the sounds of soft moaning. Curious, Natsu jumped up onto Lucy's windowsill. What Natsu saw and heard caused his whole body to turn red in embarassment. Lucy was squirming and writhing in her bed, as she moaned his name. But what stuck out most to Natsu was the smell that was assaulting his nose. It was very faint, but it was extremely alluring. A shiver ran through Natsu's body, as he inhaled the intoxicating scent. The dragon slayer had a fairly good idea what the smell was thanks to the talks he had received from Erza and Mira.

"S-She's dreaming about doing 'that' with m-me?" Natsu thought, as he turned an even deeper shade of red. "I kinda thought that Lucy might have a thing for me, but I can't believe she's already thinking about sleeping with me. I-I mean I know that I've thought about doing things like 'that' with her, but I've also thought about doing things with Erza and Mira as well. I like all three of them equally, and I want all of them to be happy. Ugh, what the hell is going on with me?"

"Uh Natsu, what's Lucy doing?" Happy asked innocently.

"I-I'll tell you some other time buddy." Natsu stuttered out, as he tried desperately to fight off his raging blush. "Let's just wake Lucy up, and get to the train station. I bet that bastard Gray is already there."

Natsu reached out, and gently knocked on Lucy's window. But the blonde merely rolled over, turning her back to Natsu and Happy. So Natsu knocked again, this time a little more forcefully. This woke Lucy up, as she suddenly shot upright in her bed. A faint blush still painted Lucy's face as she stretched. The blonde then yawned and began to rub the sleep out of her eyes. But Lucy's eyes shot open, and all color drained from her face when she saw Natsu and Happy sitting on her windowsill. When Natsu noticed Lucy looking at them, he gave her a weak wave and a nervous smile. Lucy stared at the duo wide-eyed for a moment, before she screamed and ran towards her bathroom. As soon as Lucy entered the bathroom she slammed the door shut and immediately sunk to the floor.

"Oh God, how much did he see?! That was a really raunchy dream, and I know that I usually talk in my sleep." Lucy thought, as she fisted her blonde hair. "Oh shit! W-What if...he could smell me?!" Lucy squeaked when she spotted the small wet patch on her pajama bottoms. "He found me in Hargeon, because he picked up my scent. There is no way he didn't smell me." The blonde groaned, and put her face into her hands. "This is going to totally ruin our relationship. He's going to think I'm some sex starved slut or something. Now I have no chance with him." Lucy's thoughts were suddenly cut off when she heard a few soft knocks.

"Luce?" Natsu hesitantly asked. "Uh, I'm sorry about scaring you a minute ago. Happy and I actually came over to tell you something." Natsu waited a few moments, but there was no reply from the celestial spirit mage. "Lucy, you in there?" Natsu asked, pressing his ear against the door.

"How much did you see?" Lucy asked quietly.

"Huh? What are you-" Natsu was cut off by an exclamation from Lucy.

"DON'T PLAY DUMB!" Lucy yelled from behind the door. "Now answer me. How much did you see?"

"N-Not too much. I just got here a few minutes ago." Natsu admitted, as he rubbed the back of his head. "But I do know what you were dreaming about."

"Oh God." Lucy groaned out, as she felt tears sting her eyes. "You probably think I'm some kind slut now, don't you?"

"Of course not!" Natsu exclaimed immediately. "You're an amazing girl Luce, and you're defiantely not a slut. W-We all get u-urges." Natsu's face immediately turned burned bright read. "I-I know I've had similar t-thoughts about some of the g-girls in the guild."

"Really?" Lucy asked, as she wiped away a tear that was forming.

"Y-Yeah, I've defiantely had a few n-naughty dreams about some of the girls." Natsu replied in an embarrassed tone.

"Oh, and which girls do you think about?" Lucy asked, as a smirk spread across her face.

"W-What?!" Natsu exclaimed, as a new wave of embarassment washed over him.

"Come on, I won't tell anyone." Lucy cooed with a mischievous smile. "It's only fair Natsu. You really embarrassed me back there, now I need a little dirt on you."

"*Gulp* If y-you really must know, when I have these 'd-dreams' they're usually with...God I can't believe I'm about to say this...Erza and Mira." Natsu admitted after a moment of hesitation.

"What about me?" Lucy asked with renewed confidence, as she opened the door slightly. "Do you ever think about me like that?"

"I-I u-uh...u-um...well you s-see." Natsu began to stutter uncontrollably, as he started to break out in a nervous sweat. Lucy smirked and opened the fully opened the door, causing Natsu to take a step back.

"Well Natsu do you ever have naughty thoughts about me?" Lucy asked in a sultry tone, as she slowly walked up to the stuttering dragon slayer.

"W-Well...I-I g-guess I-I have." Natsu said just as Lucy wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Natsu?" Lucy asked, her face inches away from the dragon slayer's. Her full breasts pressing against his chest, and her fingers tangling in his hair.

"Y-Yeah Luce." Natsu replied, his face burning bright red.

"Kiss me."


"NATSU!"

"Huh!? What's wrong?!" Natsu exclaimed, his hands coated in flames.

"You spaced out for a minute there." Happy said, as he flew next to the dragon slayer. "It was really weird. You were just staring ahead with this blank look, while we walked to Lucy's apartment."

"Really?" Natsu asked with a nervous chuckle. "Sorry about that Happy. My mind must have wandered off."

"What were you thinking about Natsu? Your face was really red." Happy asked innocently, nearly causing Natsu to choke on his own breath.

"Uh, it was nothing important Happy." Natsu replied just as Lucy's apartment came into view.

The dragon slayer's face burned bright red, as images of his daydream played back in his mind. Suddenly Lucy's apartment came into view, but this time Natsu didn't hear anything as he approached the blonde's apartment. Taking a deep breath, the dragon slayer jumped up onto Lucy's windowsill. This time Natsu spotted Lucy sleeping in her bed peacefully. However the alluring smell from Natsu's daydream suddenly hit him. The intoxicating smell sent a shiver throughout his body, just like in his dream. Natsu's face burned bright red, as he let out a groan of pleasure.

"You okay Natsu? Because you're acting kinda weird." Happy asked, as he floated next to the dragon slayer.

"I'm fine buddy, let's just wake Lucy up so we can tell her about the mission." Natsu said, as he knocked on Lucy's window.

"Maybe she does think about me like that." Natsu thought, tapping on Lucy's window again. "I'll have to talk to her later about it. I'll have to talk to all three of them eventually."

Natsu stopped his knocking when he saw Lucy begin to stir. The blonde yawned, as she sat up in her bed. As Lucy stretched she spotted Natsu and Happy outside her window. Lucy squeaked in surprise, as she instinctively covered herself with her blanket. The celestial spirit mage had a slight blush across her face, as she clutched the blanket close to her chest. But when she saw Natsu and Happy smiling at her, she sighed and opened her window.

"What do you two want?" Lucy asked, letting Natsu and Happy into her home.

"We came by to tell you something." Happy replied, as he sat on the table in Lucy's kitchen.

Taking the hint, Lucy walked into the kitchen and began to make breakfast for the three of them. Natsu followed Lucy, and began to get cooking supplies out for her. Once everything was out, the dragon slayer took a seat at the table.

"So what did you guys want to tell me?" Lucy asked, as she put some spices into the eggs she was making. The blonde knew that Natsu loved spicy food, so she made sure to add extras spices into his portion.

"You're coming with us on Erza's mission." Natsu answered, as Lucy handed him his plate.

"Why am I going?" Lucy asked in a confused tone, as she sat across from Natsu.

"Well, you're apart of the team right?" Natsu replied, taking a bite of his food. "Wow...this is pretty good." Natsu said, as he took another bite of his eggs. "I already asked Erza, and she's okay with you going. It's always more fun when we're all together. But if you don't want to go I'll understand."

"No, no I want to go." Lucy said with a smile, eating a forkful of food. "Like you said, we're teammates. What kind of teammate would I be if I missed our first mission as a full team? Plus this is a great chance for me to get to know Erza better."

"That's great to hear Luce." Natsu said with a toothy grin. "We'll head to the train station as soon as we finish eating."

"Okay, let me just get changed first." Lucy said, as she pushed her empty plate forward.

"Sounds good Luce." Natsu said, cleaning of his plate. "Happy and I will head out front. When you're ready we'll head off."

With a quick wave Natsu jumped out the open window, and landed in from of Lucy's apartment. As soon as the dragon slayer left her apartment, Lucy let out a deep sigh. The celestial spirit mage slowly made her way into her bedroom, and began to strip out of her pajamas. As Lucy took of her pajama bottoms, she groaned in annoyance when she spotted the wet spot in her panties.

"Damn it, I had another one of 'those' dreams about Natsu again. It seems like I have one every night now. Luckily he didn't seem to notice. I don't know what I would do if he had found out."


(5 Minutes Later)

Lucy emerged from apartment a few minutes later dressed in a orange and yellow blouse with a short blue skirt. She quickly spotted Natsu and Happy waiting for her just outside her apartment.

"Ready to go?" Natsu asked, as Lucy walked up.

"Yep! Let's get going!" Lucy said enthusiastically, as the trio made there way towards Magnolia's train station.

Along the way Natsu and Lucy talked about various things, with Happy chiming in every now and then. But something had been bothering Lucy. She knew that Erza and Natsu had gone somewhere last night, but it bothered her that she didn't know what they had done.

"Natsu, what did you and Erza do last night?" Lucy asked suddenly.

The question caught the dragon slayer off guard, as he blinked at Lucy a few times before he answered.

"Oh, we didn't do too much. She treated me to dinner, than she came back to my place for a bit." Natsu replied with a shrug.

"W-What did you do at your place?" Lucy asked, a sudden sense of jealousy filling her.

"Same thing we did during dinner, we just talked the whole time. It was nice to catch up after not seeing each other for over a week." Natsu answered with a small smile. "I really missed her."

"So all you did was talk, nothing else?" Lucy asked with a skeptical tone.

"Yep, we just talked for a few hours, then Erza went home to get ready for the mission." Natsu replied, as the train station came into view. "There's the station, I bet that asshole Gray is already there."

"Why do you hate Gray so much?" Lucy asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Too many reasons to list." Natsu grumbled out, as the trio stepped into Magnolia's train station.

Sure enough Natsu was right. Waiting for them when they entered the station was Gray Fullbuster. The ice user immediately started to glare at Natsu as soon as he spotted him. Without missing a beat Gray stormed over, and butted heads with Natsu.

"Where the hell have you been flame brain? I've been waiting for a half hour." Gray asked, annoyance evident in his tone.

"I was getting Lucy, got a problem with that you stupid popsicle." Natsu answered with a slight growl.

"Lucy?" Gray asked in a confused tone. The ice mage looked past Natsu, and spotted Lucy standing sheepishly off to the side. "And why is she coming with us?"

"She's apart of me and Erza's team, so she'll be joining us on this mission. Lucy is a very capable mage, and will be a great help on this job." Natsu defended Lucy, causing a slight blush to spread across the blonde's face.

"Tch, whatever you say. Why did Erza even invite you? I'm more than enough help for whatever mission she wants us to go on." Gray said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Is there ice clogging your fucking brain. Erza and I have been a team for over seven years, of course she'd invite me on this mission." Natsu said, once again butting heads with Gray. "If you want to pussy out and not come, I'll gladly let Erza kill you when we get back."

"What the hell did you just say you hotheaded jackass!" Gray exclaimed, grabbing Natsu by his vest.

"Oh, you want to go you frozen piece of shit!" Natsu shot back, fists clenching Gray's jacket.

"Both of you chill the fuck out!" Lucy yelled, as she stomped her foot. "You're both causing nothing but trouble. *Sigh* I wish you two could just get along for five minutes." Lucy huffed, as she crossed her arms underneath her chest.

"Sorry Luce," Natsu said as he scratched the back of his head.

"Luce? How cute you already have a pet name for her." Gray said with a smug smirk.

"It's not a pet name! It's a nickname, and Lucy happens to like it!" Natsu exclaimed, as he went back to butting heads with Gray. "So why don't you mind your own damn business, you shit flavored popsicle!"

"I'll do whatever I damn well please!" Gray said, glaring at Natsu. "Hey you pink-haired douchebag, why do you carry that sleeping back with you everywhere?"

"It was given to me by a friend seven years ago, and I use it to sleep in you idiot." Natsu said, placing a hand on the sleeping bag on top of his pack.

"*Sigh* This is getting way out of hand." Lucy said, pinching the bridge of her nose. Just then a thought popped into Lucy's head, and a mischievous smile spread across her face. "Ah! Erza-san, we're right over here!"

"Let's get along buddy!" Gray said, as he immediately wrapped his arm around Natsu's neck, and a large smile was plastered on his face. But when Gray turned to face where Erza was supposed to be coming from, he only saw a giggling Lucy. Gray turned his head to see Natsu giggling as well.

"That was too funny!" Lucy exclaimed, as she bent over and burst out laughing.

"You tricked me!" Gray yelled, as his eyes widened.

"Man you're way to easy to fool ice for brain." Natsu said with a wide grin.

"How did you know that Erza wasn't here?" Gray asked with a frown.

"I can sorta sense when Erza is nearby. We've been together for so long, that I can tell when she's close by." Natsu said with a shrug, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Great, it wasn't bad enough that I had to go on this mission with that flame brained idiot, but now I have to go with some chick that I barely no." Gray complained, as he put a hand over his stomach. "I already feel sick."

"Want some fish Gray?" Happy asked, pulling a fish out of his green pack.

"NO!" Gray exclaimed in an annoyed tone. But Gray froze stiff when he heard a voice speak up behind him.

"Sorry that I'm late you guys." Erza said, as she pulled a massive cart full of luggage behind her.

"Wow, that's way too much luggage!" Lucy exclaimed, as she gazed wide-eyed at Erza's numerous bags.

"Ah, Lucy it's great to see you." Erza said with a smile. "After what Natsu has told me about you, you should be a great addition on this mission. But I must warn you that job will be rather risky."

"R-Risky?" Lucy parroted in a worried tone.

"Erza, before we go I have one request." Natsu said, getting the redhead's attention.

"Yes Natsu, what is it?" Erza asked sweetly, as she walked up to the dragon slayer.

"When we get back I want to fight you again." Natsu said straight faced without a hint worry. "I've grow much stronger since our last fight, and I think that I might be able to beat you now."

"You idiot! Do you have some kind of death wish or something?!" Gray hissed, his eyes wide in shock.

"Well you've definitely grown stronger since our last bout, I'll give you that." Erza said with a small smile, as she brushed a few scarlet locks out of her face. "All though I'm not so certain in my abilities, I accept your challenge Natsu. It would be a pleasure to fight you again."

"Erza if we're gonna fight, I want you to be one hundred percent confident in yourself. This has to be a serious fight." Natsu said, crossing his arms over his chest. "It wouldn't feel right if you weren't giving it your all."

"Oh I know Natsu don't worry." Erza reassured the dragon slayer. "But you're quite strong, and I just wanted to let you know that." Erza then turned to look at Gray. "Gray...do you want to fight me as well?"

"Fuck no!" Gray exclaimed, as he waved his arms frantically. "I rather like having all my bones intact."

"YEAH! LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!" Natsu roared, as he sprinted towards their train. Lightning surged of Natsu's body, as he ran past scared pedestrians.

"*Sigh* Man he is such a hothead." Lucy said, as she rubbed her temples.

"Yes he is, but I think that's one of his admirable traits." Erza said with a smile, as she followed after the dragon slayer. "Come on everyone let's get going."

"HAHAHA! HURRY UP YOU SLOWPOKES!" Natsu yelled out the train's window. "I'M ALL FIRED UP!"


"Someone please kill me." Natsu moaned weakly, as he sunk into his seat. Sweat poured off the dragon slayer's body, as his stomach churned.

"Man you're pathetic." Gray said with an annoyed huff. "Go sit somewhere else if you're gonna be annoying! Even better, get off the train and run alongside it!"

"If I wasn't in extreme pain right now, I'd kick the shit out of you Gray." Natsu said in a weak voice, as he glared at Gray.

"I know this happens all the time, but that still looks painful." Lucy said, giving Natsu a sympathetic look. "Natsu, why don't you lay-"

"I guess there's no other way." Erza said, cutting Lucy off. The scarlet haired woman smiled at Natsu, and patted the seat next to her. "Come sit next to me Natsu."

"I guess I have to move." Lucy thought, as she shot Erza a quick glare. Lucy's glare wasn't missed by Erza. The knight merely smirked at Lucy, as Natsu sat next to her. "Tch, she did that on purpose."

"Lay your head down Natsu." Erza said sweetly, earning a smile from Natsu.

"T-Thanks Erza." Natsu said, laying his head down on Erza's lap. "Ugh, stupid m-motion sickness."

"Shh, just relax and get some rest Natsu." Erza said barely above a whisper, as she ran her fingers through Natsu's pink locks. The dragon slayer smiled, as his eyes slowly closed. "Just close your eyes, and we'll be there in no time."

"Wow, she's like a completely different person when she's with Natsu." Lucy thought, as she watched Erza smile down at Natsu. "It's actually really sweet the way they act around each other. It almost makes me want to just let her have him, but I can't and won't ignore my own feelings. I just wish there was a way for all of us to be happy."

The group sat in silence for awhile, with Natsu sleeping soundly in Erza's lap. Gray and Happy stared out the window, Lucy organized the things in her pack, and Erza continued to comb her fingers through Natsu's hair. When Lucy finished sorting out her bag, she decided to break the silence.

"Now that I think about it, I've never seen any other magic besides Natsu's at Fairy Tail." Lucy said, turning her head to look at Erza. "What kind of magic do you use Erza-san?"

"Please just call me Erza, we're on the same team Lucy. So there's no need for formalities." Erza said, smiling at Lucy. "To answer your question, I use Re-equip magic. It allows me to change my weapons and armor almost instantaneously."

"Wow that sounds awesome!" Lucy exclaimed with wide-eyes.

"Yeah, Erza's magic is so pretty. Lots of her opponent's blood came out in the end." Happy said, making Lucy sweat drop.

"How is that supposed to be pretty?" Lucy asked with a disgusted look.

"My magic is nothing special." Erza said, turning to face Gray. "Actually I think Gray's magic is very beautiful."

"It is?" Gray asked, raising an eyebrow.

"What type of magic do you use Gray?" Lucy asked, giving Gray her full attention.

"Hmph!" Gray grunted, as he punched his palm. The air around Gray's hands began to chill. Suddenly a small Fairy Tail symbol made out of ice materialized in Gray's hand. "I'm an ice mage."

"Wah! That's so cool!" Lucy exclaimed, her eyes wide in awe. Suddenly realization struck Lucy and she gasped. "That's why you and Natsu don't get along. Fire and Ice, you two are so straightforward it's actually kinda cute."

"Who cares about that?" Gray said with a flustered look. "Anyway let's get ready. Erza, what's going on exactly? You asking for anybody but Natsu's help doesn't happen very often."

"Yeah, let me explain" Erza said, as she closed her eyes. "I was on my way back from my last mission. When I stopped by a bar in Onibus, where mages tend to gather. Some mages there happened to catch my attention."


(Flashback 3 Days Ago)

"Man that was a boring mission, it would have been more enjoyable if Natsu had been there." Erza said quietly to herself, as she nursed her drink. The re-equip mage was seated at a table near the back of the bar.

"RAH! WHERE THE HELL ARE MY BOOZE!?" A voice yelled from across the bar.

Erza turned her head and spotted a table with four mages on the other side of the bar. One of the mages appeared to be hassling with one of the bar waitresses.

"Oi! Why the hell are you slow!?" One of the mages yelled, as he waved his empty mug. The mage had his feet kicked up on the table, and he seemed to have whiskers on his face.

"I...I-I'm sorry, I'll be r-right back with your drink." The waitress said in a shaky voice, before she ran back to the bar to fetch the drinks.

"Byard don't get so upset." Another mage wearing a black and yellow hood chastised, as he leaned back in his chair.

"How can I not be pissed off about this?!" Byard exclaimed, as he slammed his mug onto the table. "We finally found the hidden 'Lullaby,' but it was all sealed up! How'd that even happen?! We have no way of breaking the seal!"

"Idiot! You're being too fucking loud!" The hooded mage hissed.

"Shit!" Byard said, as his eyes shifted across the bar.

"It's not like we can break the seal, even with more people." A mage with a dark-haired ponytail said. "I'll take care of this, so you guys head back to the guild. Just let Erigor-san know." The mage said with a smile. "I will definitely be back with 'Lullaby' in three days."

"For real?! Did you figure out how to break the seal?!" Byard said with wide eyes.

"Oh! Great work Kageyama!" The hooded mage exclaimed with a smirk.


(Back to the Present)

"Lullaby?" Gray said, as he rubbed his chin.

"Lullaby...is it some sort of magic that puts people to sleep?" Lucy suggested, turning to look at Erza.

"I don't know...but since it's sealed, it probably contain a very powerful magic." Erza replied, as she looked at the floor.

"Wait, I don't get it." Gray said, leaning forward in his seat. "So you came across some mages that wanted to break the seal off some unknown magic...maybe it was just for a job they were doing."

"That's what I thought at first." Erza said, as her eyes darkened. "That is, until I remembered the name Erigor. The strongest mage in the guild Eisenwald, Erigor the Shinigami."

"Shinigami?!" Lucy parroted, as a shiver ran down her spine.

"He received that nickname, because he only takes assassination requests." Erza explained, causing Lucy to gulp in fear. "The council forbids mages from taking assassination jobs, but Eisenwald chose money over following the rules." The train began to slow down, as it pulled into Onibus station. "Six years ago Eisenwald was ousted from the guild league, and was labeled a dark guild."

"Dark guild?!" Lucy whispered, as she began to sweat in fear.

"Wait, you said they were ousted, but did Eisenwald receive any punishment?" Lucy asked Erza, as they started to get off the train.

"They were. Eisenwald's master was arrested, and the guild was ordered to disband." Erza answered, pulling her cart of luggage off the train. "Though most dark guilds keep function regardless and ignore the council's orders."

"M-Maybe I should head back after all." Lucy said as fear filled her body.

"It was a blunder on my part...If I had remembered the name Erigor back at the bar, I would have slain them all." Erza in a menacing tone, as her gaze darkened.

Right, if it was just the mages at the bar you could probably have handled them all yourself Erza." Gray said, putting his hands in his pockets. "But when it's an entire guild." Gray started to trail off near the end.

"They have an ancient magic called 'Lullaby' and are planning something. We cannot overlooks this any longer." Erza said, as she turned to face Gray and Lucy. "We'll march to Eisenwald, and take them down ourselves."

"Hmm, I like the sound of that." Gray said with a smirk.

"I really should have stayed home." Lucy groaned, as she trudged after Gray and Erza. "Do you even know where Eisenwald is, Erza?"

"That's why we came to this town, to find that out." Erza said, turning to look at Lucy.

When Erza looked at Lucy something seemed off to her. The re-equip mage studied the blonde for a moment. Lucy noticed Erza staring, and raised and eyebrow.

"What's wrong Er-" Sudden realization struck Lucy and Erza simultaneously.

"NATSU'S NOT HERE!" Erza and Lucy yelled, as they both started running back towards the train station, with a disgruntled Gray and a giggling Happy following closely behind.

When the group got back to the train station, they were surprised to see that the train had already departed. Erza grit her teeth, and clenched her fists.

"Damn it! I was too focused on explaining the situation, and I forgot to grab Natsu when we left the train. He's terrible with transportation too, so he's probably half dead on that train." Erza closed her eyes, and turned to Lucy. "It's all my fault! Lucy please hit me!"

"Whoa, calm down Erza." Lucy said, as she held up her hands. "Even though I really would like to smack you for forgetting Natsu on a damn train!"

Erza grunted and began to scan the train platform. She quickly spotted a conductor, and stormed over to him. She grabbed the man by the collar, and frantically began to explain the situation to him.

"So that's what's going on! I need you to stop that train!" Erza exclaimed, as she released the conductor. "Please understand, it's for one of our nakama!"

"Stop talking nonsense! I can't stop the train just because one person forgot to get of!" The conductor yelled, as he dusted himself off.

Erza glared at the conductor, causing the man to flinch under her harsh gaze. The red-haired mage tore her gaze from the conductor, and spotted and emergency stop switch on the wall behind him. Acting quickly, Erza grabbed the conductor and headbutted him. The conductor fell to the ground in an unconscious heap. Erza stepped over the unconscious conductor, and puled the emergency stop switch. Alarms went off and lights flashed throughout the station. The other people in the station looked around either in fear or confusion.

"Come on let's go after Natsu." Erza said, turning to a group of people behind her. "Excuse me, but could you please deliver this to Hotel Chili?" Erza asked, as she handed over her cart full of luggage. "Thanks."

"Who...are you...?" One of the people asked, but Erza had already left.

"Wow that went downhill fast." Lucy commented, releasing a deep sigh.

"Indeed." Gray said, as he walked up next to Lucy.

"Gray, you're fucking clothes are gone again." Lucy said, as she pinched the bridge of her nose.


(Back on the Train)

"*Groan* W-Why the fuck am I s-still on this thing?" Natsu moaned weakly, as he sat slumped in his seat. "W-Where did everyone else g-go? E-Erza? L-Lucy? Hell I'll even take Gray."

"Excuse me sir, but is this seat taken?"

Natsu slowly raised his head to see a man with dark hair done up in a spiky ponytail, smiling down at him. The dragon slayer didn't say anything, but he managed to weakly gesture to the seat across from him. The dark-haired man let out a content sigh, as he sunk into the seat across from Natsu. After a few moments the newcomer leaned forward, and began to examine Natsu. The dragon slayer continued to groan in pain, as sweat poured off his body. When the man spotted the Fairy Tail mark on Natsu's arm, he let out an impressed whistle.

"My, my, my you seem to be in pain. Are you okay? I'm Kageyama, and who might you be?" Natsu managed to moan weakly in response. Kageyama clasped his hands,and smiled at Natsu. "Fairy Tail. A regular guild, huh...I envy you." Kageyama said with a sickly sweet smile. "Speaking of Fairy Tail...Mirajane is pretty famous isn't she. I always see her in magazines, and she's always so beautiful." Natsu managed to lift his head, and leveled a harsh glare at Kageyama. "I wonder why she's not an active mage anymore, she's still so young." Natsu unconsciously clenched his fists, as his breathing started to become ragged. "And I don't know her name, but I heard the new girl's pretty hot. Do you know her?" A throaty growl escaped Natsu's throat, as he felt electricity begin so surge through his body. "I've noticed that normal guild have lots of pretty girls...I envy that about you, because there's no girls in my guild. Would you please share some of your girls?" That was the last straw for Natsu, he was ready to beat the shit out of this guy. But before Natsu could make a move, he received a fierce kick to the face. "Don't give me the silent treatment you little shit! That's discriminatory to dark guilds!"

"Huh?" Natsu said, as he pushed the Kageyama's foot out of his face.

"OH! So you finally talk!" Kageyama said with a menacing grin.

"G-Get your f-fucking foot out of m-my face." Natsu said weakly, as he continued to glare at the dark-haired man.

"Excuse me, you're gonna have to speak up because I can't understand you." Kageyama said, as he cupped a hand over his ear. "Fairy Tail has been getting a lot of attention lately. You know, stuck up people like that really annoy me. Do you know what he call Fairy Tail...we call you all flies. Flyswatting." Kageyama smacked Natsu upside the head, causing the dragon slayer to snap. The pink-haired mage rose from his seat, and bared his teeth at Kageyama. "Oh, are you gonna do something punk."

"RAH!" Natsu roared, as electricity sparked to life around his hands. The dragon slayer cocked his fist back, but before he could punch the man across from him the train started to go downhill. The electricity around Natsu's hands quickly died, as he sunk back into his seat.

"HAHAHA! What the fuck was that?!" Kageyama laughed, smacking his knee. When Kageyama stopped laughing, he shot Natsu a evil grin. "You have to use magic like this!" Several tendrils made of shadows shot out of the Kageyama's own shadow. Suddenly the shadows shot out of the ground, and hit Natsu with a powerful uppercut. "HAHAHAHA!" The Kageyama laughed, as Natsu fell to the floor.

Suddenly a loud screeching sound echoed throughout the train, as Natsu and Kageyama shot forward. After a few moments the train came to a complete stop. Kageyama groaned in pain, as he pushed himself off the ground. But Kageyama's eyes widened when he saw that his pack was open, and its contents where scattered on the floor.

"I-It stopped." Natsu said, as he forced himself to his feet. But something sticking out of Kageyama's bag caught the dragon slayer's attention. The object was a wooden flute with a three-eyed skull at the top.

"Shit, you saw it!" Kageyama said, as he began to sweat.

"Shut up!" Natsu roared, as electricity coursed around his body. "Thanks so much for earlier." Natsu cocked his fist back, and coated it with powerful lightning. "It's payback time motherfucker!"

"Lightning Dragon's Iron Fist!"

Natsu hit Kageyama with an electrically charged right hook. The dark mage was sent flying across the train car, and into the next car. Kageyama spit out some blood, as he struggled to get to his fist. When Kageyama managed to get on his feet, he spotted Natsu glaring at him.

"Who's the fly now you bastard?!" Natsu exclaimed with a grin, as he cracked his knuckles.

"Y-You son of a bitch." Kageyama rasped out, as blood freely flowed from his nose.

Suddenly the intercoms on the train came to life. "We've confirmed that the emergency brake was due to a false report. We'll be departing shortly. We thank you for your patience."

"Fuck that, I'm outta here!" Natsu screamed, as he ran and grabbed his bags.

"I won't let you get away!" Kageyama yelled, hobbling back into the car Natsu was in. "You picked a fight with Eisenwald! Don't think you can get away with that you pathetic fly!"

"The same goes for you! I know your ugly mug now!" Natsu exclaimed, veins bulging on his head. The dragon slayer clenched his teeth, and snarled at Kageyama. "Making fun of Fairy Tail, and threatening Mira and Lucy. I'll fight you outside next ti-" Natsu quickly covered his mouth as the train started to move again.

Before his motion sickness could incapacitate him, Natsu jumped out the train's window. But to Natsu's complete surprise there was a magic four wheeler tailing the train. As Natsu flew closer to the magic four wheeler, his eyes widened when he saw that Erza was driving it.

"ERZAAAAAAAAA!" Natsu yelled, as he flew closer to the magical vehicle.

"Natsu!?" Erza exclaimed, as her eyes widened. The knight quickly veered the magic four wheeler closer to Natsu.

"Why the fuck did you fly out of the train?!" Gray yelled, climbing on top of the four wheeler.

"What's goin-HOLY SHIT IS THAT NATSU?!" Lucy yelled, as she leaned out the four wheeler's window.

Gray's eyes widened as Natsu headed straight for him at high speed. Before the ice mage even had a chance to react the dragon slayer collided with him. Both mages crashed together head first, and were sent flying off the magic four wheeler.

"Natsu! Are you alright?!" Erza exclaimed, as she slammed on the brakes.

"Y-Yeah I'm good." Natsu said, rubbing the lump on his forehead.

"I'm fine too, thanks for asking." Gray said, as he dusted himself off. "God damn it Natsu! What were you thinking, you flaming bastard!"

"I seemed to have lost some of my memory due to the shock just now." Natsu said, quirking an eyebrow. "Who the hell are you? And why do you smell like shit?"

"Why you?!" Gray roared, grabbing Natsu by his scarf.

"GRAY! Keep your hands off Natsu!" Erza's menacing voice echoed out, as she stepped off the magical four wheeler.

"Natsu we're so sorry!" Happy exclaimed, landing on Natsu's head.

"Happy! Lucy! Erza! How could you forget me?! Especially you Erza! I thought we were best friends!" Natsu whined, as anime tears poured from his eyes.

"I'm so sorry Natsu, I was careless." Erza said, hanging her head. "Please hit me as punishment."

"S-Sorry Natsu, I'll make it up to you later." Lucy said with a nervous smile.

"Anyway I'm glad you're safe." Erza said, as she pulled Natsu in for a hug. Natsu was surprised when he felt a few tears drop onto the back of his vest. "I was so worried that you'd get hurt. I don't know what I'd do if something had happened to you."

"Hey, hey I'm fine Erza." Natsu reassured the knight, as he patted her armored back. Erza smiled and nodded, as she wiped the tears out of her left eye.

"Why does she get to hug Natsu?! I want to hug him to!" Lucy thought, as gave Erza a jealous look.

As if sensing her thoughts, Lucy soon felt Natsu's strong arms wrapped around her. She looked up to see Natsu grinning at her. Lucy smiled back, and wrapped her arms around Natsu as well.

"You looked lie you needed a hug too." Natsu said with a light chuckle.

"I'm just glad that you're safe Natsu." Lucy said with a content sigh, as the dragon slayer released her.

"Geez, why does flame brain get all the girls?" Gray muttered to himself.

"You guys missed it. Some weirdo on the train tried to pick a fight with me." Natsu said, causing Erza's eyes to widen.

"Was is someone from Eisenwald?" Erza asked, earning a nod from Natsu. The red-haired mage walked up to Natsu, and placed her hands on his shoulders. "Natsu, Eisenwald is the dark guild we're going after."

"Really?! That's the first I'm hearing about this." Natsu said, scratching his chin.

"You said he was on the train earlier, right? We have to chase after him." Erza said, placing the magical four wheeler's SE-plug onto her arm. "Do you remember what he looked like?"

"Not really, there wasn't anything special about him." Natsu said before he snapped his fingers. "But he was carrying a flute with a three-eyed skull at the end of it."

"What? That's fucking weird." Gray commented, as he walked back to the four wheeler.

"A flute with a three-eyed skull." Lucy said, as she began to shake in fear.

"What's up Lucy?" Happy asked, flying up to the blonde.

"No...it can't be...it's just a made up story...but...if that flute is the cursed song...lullaby...sleep...death..." Lucy said, clenching her fists. "That flute is lullaby! Lullaby...the magic of death!"

"What?!" Erza exclaimed, her eyes widening.

"A cursed song?" Gray parroted with a raised eyebrow.

"I've only read about it in a book, but among forbidden magic, there is such a thing as 'murder by curse,' right?" Lucy asked Erza.

"Yeah...just like the name says, it'll curse the target and cast death. It's a black magic." Erza answered, making Lucy's eyes harden.

"Lullaby is far worse than that." Lucy said, making everyone gasp in shock.


(Kunugi Station)

Patrons at the Kunugi train station ran in fear from a group mages that had marched into the train station. The group of dark mages was led by non other than Erigor the Shinigami.

"Get all these pests and the driver of the train." Erigor commanded, resting his massive scythe on his shoulder. "Eisenwald is taking this station over." Erigor walked onto the train, and spotted Kageyama sitting on one of the seats. "I heard that you were coming back on this train so we've been waiting for you, Kageyama."

"I managed to break the seal, hee hee." Kageyama said with a grin, as he pulled Lullaby out of his pack. "This is it, Erigor."

"I see..." Erigor said, grabbing Lullaby out of Kageyama's hand. "This is it, the forbidden magic, Lullaby."

"YEAH!" The other Eisenwald members let out a loud cheer.

"Great work Kageyama." Byard compliment with a smirk. "Don't you think Rayule?"

"Yes indeed, now out plan is complete." Rayule said, as he adjusted his stripped hood.

"The flute was just a tool for 'murder by curse' at first." Kageyama explained, getting everyone's attention. "But the dark mage, Zeref, further developed this flute into something much worse and far more powerful."

"Indeed...he created such an evil thing." Erigor said with an evil smirk. "Mass-curse murder magic, Lullaby." Erigor had a magical grin, as he tapped the magical flute in his hands. "It puts a curse on everyone that hears its melody! Let's get this show rolling boys!"

Further down the track, Erza's magic four wheeler raced towards Kunugi station. Gray held onto of the magical vehicle, while Natsu and Lucy sat inside. Erza was pumping a large amount of her magical energy into the vehicle, so it could go its top speed. The scenery raced by, as the four wheeler flew down the tracks.

"Mass-curse murder magic!?" Erza said to herself, clenching her teeth in anger. "If Erigor got ahold of such a thing...Bastards! What are they planning to do?!"
