Hello guys, sorry it took a while to update this story. Hopefully this makes up for the wait, or not. It's up to you really.

Okay, now that Lisanna had her turn, it's time for the girl that most people don't care about. You know, the girl with the purple hair? …It's Kinana's turn now.

I apologize if the whole angst thing and comforting still sucks, since I'm sure someone out there could do better than me when it comes to this stuff anyway. Anyway, hope I do a good job, but feel free to call me an idiot if I mess something up.

Enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions. Everything belongs to their respective owners.

Chapter Eight: Flashback: Kinana

It was a nice day for the purple haired woman so far. She woke up, got ready, arrived at the guild in time, and is now helping Mirajane out at the bar. The guild was acting as usual, people fighting, people drinking, and people simply being themselves.

However, the purple haired woman had noticed a few differences in the past week. One she noticed Natsu was being more energetic and happier than usual. Kinana also noticed that he has been hanging around some of the other girls a lot more than usual, though she looked like she was the only one who noticed that part. It kind of confused her, that Natsu was suddenly hanging around Erza, Lucy, Mira, Lisanna, and even Cana a lot more. Lucy and Erza she can understand since they all are on the same team, and she can understand with Lisanna, since she just came back from "being dead". Mirajane though, yes Natsu and the white haired woman talked but from what Kinana seen they usually don't spend this much time around each other before either. Cana was the most surprising, since she has never even seen the card mage even spoke a word to the fire dragon slayer until now.

Kinana wanted to ask Mira what was going on, but she didn't want to sound rude or be butting into someone's business. Though at the same time she wanted to know what was going on. Honestly, she wished that Natsu would come and hang out with her as well as he does with the others.

The purple haired barmaid shook her head at that thought. There was no need to think that way. It's not like she herself has feelings for the fire dragon slayer.

…Oh who is she kidding; of course she has feelings for the pink haired male.

Eventually, she snapped out of her thoughts as she continued to work on giving people their orders and all of that.

Some time has passed since then, and it was almost evening. Kinana was now going through the pantry to see if they need to buy any more food for the guild. Considering the kind of people they have, they usually need a lot of food in order for everyone to eat when they are here at the guild.

"Mira!" Kinana called out to the white haired female, who was finishing cleaning a mug. Hearing her name being called out, she looked to see Kinana calling her name.

"What's up Kinana?" Mirajane asked her as she went to where the purple haired woman was at.

"It looks like we need to buy more groceries for the guild." She explained to the white haired barmaid.

"Alright then, I'll get a list so I can go get them." Mira replied to the purple haired female.

"Don't worry Mira, I can get the groceries myself." Kinana assured her.

"Oh, alright then, but will you need help though?" Mira wanted to make sure that Kinana was alright with doing this.

"I think I will be fine."

"You think or you know?"

"Mira, I'll be alright. Really." Kinana assured the white haired woman once more, though it still didn't seem to convince her that much.

"Maybe someone should go with you to help out at least." Mira suggested to the purple haired woman.

Seeing that Mira wasn't going to let this go, she gave up on changing Mira's mind, knowing that once Mira made up her mind on something, she hardly ever changes it.

"Alright, but who should I take to help me?" Kinana asked the white haired female.

Just as asked that, a certain pink haired male came crashing next to them, courtesy of Gray who punched the fire dragon slayer to them.

"Ow... That stripper's going to pay for that." Natsu muttered to himself, before he noticed Kinana and Mirajane looking at him as he got back up. "Oh hey guys, what's up?"

Mira then had a good idea, and when Kinana saw the look on her face, she realized what Mira was going to do. Before the purple haired could stop her, Mira spoke again.

"Hey Natsu, can you do me a favor?" She started to ask him, getting his attention.

"Sure Mira, what do you need?" Natsu responded, wondering what the white haired woman wanted him to do.

"Can you accompany Kinana as she gets groceries for the guild?" She asked with, while Kinana had a small blush on her face at the idea of just her and Natsu being around each other.

Natsu was caught off guard a little by the question, as a small blush also appeared on his face from the thought of him being with Kinana for a little bit. This was noticed by Mira, who simply smiled.

"O-Of course. I would be glad to accompany her." Natsu replied with a smile.

"Great!" Mira replied with a smile.

"Mira," Kinana leaned in to whisper to Mira so Natsu doesn't hear. "Are you sure this is alright?"

"Of course it is." Mira replied back as she prepared to get back to working at the bar. "Beside, this is a perfect chance for you to make your move like we have." This of course got the purple haired female to be confused by her words.

"Wait what do you mean by that?" Kinana questioned her, which went unanswered as Mira went back to working as she waved them off. Kinana simply looked at Natsu, who was waiting patiently for her. Sighing, and with a tiny blush, she went to Natsu so they can leave.

"What were you guys talking about?" The pink haired dragon slayer asked her.

"Nothing important Natsu, let's just go." She replied to him, as she didn't want him to know what they were talking about. He seemed content with the answer as they got reay to leave.

'LATER'

"So that was everything?" Natsu asked Kinana as they dropped off the groceries they had back at the guild. They were currently walking through a park right now, since Natsu thought it would be nice to do. Kinana didn't see a problem with it as she could spend more time with the dragon slayer.

"Yeah, that was everything." Kinana answered his question.

"Okay, that's good then." Natsu replied with a smile.

"Hey Natsu?" Kinana began to speak, as she wanted to ask him about her thoughts from earlier in the day.

"Yeah Kinana?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure thing. What's your question?"

"Well…," Kinana began as she went on, "I noticed lately that you've been hanging out with some of the other girls a lot more recently, and I wondering if there was a reason for that?"

When she asked him that, Natsu froze, suddenly getting nervous from her curiosity. This of course confused her more than anything.

"Oh, uh, you know… it's nothing to seriously… hehe…" Natsu replied back to her, as he was trying not to break down on the spot and reveal the truth, for fear that she would get the wrong idea.

"Natsu." Kinana's voice hardened a little. The way he's acting told her that he's hiding something.

"You… you wouldn't like it if I told you." Was Natsu's reply as he looked away, unable to look at her in the eye right now. This caused her to be more worried now, and confused.

"Natsu, I wouldn't hate you if you tell me. I'm sure it's not that big of a deal." The purple haired woman told him.

"I-It kind of is though…" Natsu managed to reply, which simply confused her. Didn't he trust her though?

"Natsu, you can tell me. You trust me right?" Kinana asked him, unknowingly hurting him when she said those words.

"Of course I trust you!" Natsu suddenly exclaimed, getting her to jump in surprised by his small outburst. Seeing what he did, he began to feel bad. "S-Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you like that…"

Kinana was getting worried, the way he was acting he looked like he was about to break down or something. Then at that moment, she remembered Mira's words before they left. After a moment of thinking, she put two and two together, and her eyes widen in shock.

"Are…" She began to speak, getting his attention once more, "Are you… with… those girls?" Kinana asked him, as he realized what she was asking.

"…Yes… I'm with them." Natsu told her as he shut his eyes, waiting for her to shout or be angry at him or something.

Kinana was silent from his words. So in a sense, the other girls all are sharing him? Is that what was going on? Remembering Mira's words though, she realized that Mira was also trying to help her as well. So then, there was a chance that she could also be with him then? She looked at the rather scared Natsu, who was still waiting for something bad to happen to him.

"Natsu," She began to speak, making his eyes open from surprised, she didn't sound angry or anything like that at all. She continued with a blush on her face, "I-Is… there a chance… that I can be… with you too?" She finished in a soft tone as she darted her eyes away from his.

The pink haired dragon slayer was shocked by what he heard her say. She wasn't mad? She wasn't bothered? She wanted to be with him as well? Does… does she feel the same way then?

"Y-You're not mad?" Natsu asked her, getting her to look at him once.

"No, I'm not mad Natsu. It's surprising, but I'm not angry." Kinana assured him.

"R-Really? Y-You don't think I-I'm a pig because of t-this?" Natsu asked her once again, still shocked that she didn't seem too bothered by this.

"Of course not!" Kianan exclaimed at him. She couldn't believe that he would think that she would think of him as something like that. "You're nothing like that Natsu! You are one of the nicest and kindest people I know! I… I…" Unable to finish with her words, she grabbed Natsu by his scarf and pulled him in for a kiss on the lips.

This got Natsu's eyes to widen in shock. She was kissing him. One of the women he loved was kissing him! The fire dragon slayer gave into the kiss, as they stayed like that for about a minute before they pulled away.

"I… I love you Natsu. I don't care if you have other lovers. I love you, and I want to be with you." Kinana told him as a few tears were in her eyes.

"Kinana…" Natsu spoke quietly, as tears were in his eyes as well, as he was moved by her confession. He kissed her again, showing her that he loves her as much as she does him.

Eventually, due to it being late, Kinana offered Natsu to stay at her place in Fairy Hill for the night, which he accepted.

…They may have gotten a bit carried away that night. At least Kinana managed to show Natsu that she loves him.

Alright, there's that chapter. If it sucked, I'm sorry since, as I said before, I'm not good at this kind of stuff. See you all next time, whenever that will be.
