So, Mika was given her assignment to go to Fairy Tail, that was certainly interesting, however, what was more interesting was the look in Natsus eyes when she had been given the order. Mika herself couldn't find words to express how he felt but she knew that every human being alive had, at one point in their life, had that very same look in their eyes.

The train ride that lead the group back to Magnolia was mostly filled with information on what to expect at Fairy Tail and the sort of things she should look out for in Magnolia. It was more or less everything due to the rather lengthy duration of the train ride. The Brawls, the perves, gray's underwear, Juvia obsessing over Gray's lack of underwear, Happy crying his eyes out when he seen Lily or Carla having fun with their Dragon Slayers. The usual things in Fairy Tail now. When it came to Magnolia, the group recommended that she stay in Fairy Hills with them. Erza had agreed to hold back on the rent until she managed to get enough money to get her room. Not that Erza actually knew Mika was carrying around several million jewel thanks to her numerous assassinations and thefts. However, Mika already had a perfect idea of where she'd stay. A small house on a hill, with a tree growing out of it and a small sign saying "Natsu and Happy" out by the front.

The group arrived at Magnolia train station at just after mid day. Erza pulling her oversized cart, Mira with a large purse that was clearly of time-lord creation because she had packed god knows how many months of food and clothes into a damn purse, Lisanna with a regular back-pack over her shoulders, Lucy with nothing surprisingly and Mika with a back-pack that was identical to Natsus.

As the group of girls walked through the bustling streets of mid-day Magnolia, Mika studied her surroundings and how different the place felt compared to the town where The Fraternity is located. Magnolia feels friendly and welcoming where as Virkenas had an entirely different feeling all together. The people treated the guild members with a fearful attitude rather than a welcoming one. There was proof of this feeling all over the place too. A small man in a bakers hat approached Erza and the two began whispering about something to do with a cake for newcomers, Mira was talking to her ever growing male fanbase, Lucy was talking to a few people who were seemingly interested in Gate Keys and Lisanna was talking with a pair of young children, a boy and a girl about their favourite animal. This sort of thing never happened in Virkensa.

Faster than Mika had actually realised, they had arrived outside the large iron gates of Fairy Tail's guild hall. Even from here Mika could here the laughing and the bickering that had been mentioned. She had observed Fairy Tail and Magnolia before this but she had never been told to live there, meaning that she had never really paid this much attention to the place.

Pulling Mika alone, Lisanna hurried into the Guild hall and with a rather surprisingly loud voice yelled "We're back!"

"Already? You got Natsu?" A guild member asked

"Yeah, where's Salamander. I gotta kick his ass for making Levy worry about hi- Eh! I mean, for not letting me fight him!" The black haired man known as Black Steel Gajeel yelled out before running away with an embarrassing blush on his cheeks.

"No, we do not have Natsu with us but we do have a new member. Everyone, I'd like you to meet, Mika Dragneous. She's a fire mage." Erza stated while bringing herself to stand in line with Mika and Lisanna.

Mika took a side wards glance and spotted a young boy with a black flame in his hand and decided that now was a good chance to show off her Dragon Slayer Magic. "Have you already forgotten. I'm a Dragon Slayer." Mika said with a smirk before sucking in the fire that Romeo was holding in his hand earning many gasps from the guild because they had found another Fire Dragon Slayer and Natsu wasn't even here to see it.

"Man, Fire Dragon Slayers are a Jewel a Dozen these days." Gray let out a heavy sigh of hidden disappointment that the girls had returned without Natsu once again.

"Gray! We've got another Dragon Slayer, how the hell can you be sad?!" Lucy yelled from her spot at the door next to Lisanna, Mika and Erza. Mira was already back at the bar setting everything up to the way it was supposed to be. It appears that in her rather short time away, a certain skimpy dressed, Card Mage, had raided their drinks cabinet.

"I ain't sad, I just want to kick flame-brains ass for leaving is all." Gray huffed yet again.

'Oh yeah, like you'd stand a chance against him' Mika mocked in her head, knowing full well how powerful Natsu is, not to mention he can unsheath Faiāsupiritto (The Katana of the Fire Spirit).

"Where is the Master so we can introduce our friend?" Erza inquired in her usual impatient way that was always a sure fire way of making sure Erza was actually Erza.

"I was just in his office" Levy responded "We were looking into the Katana that was stolen the fight you failed the convoy job." Levy finished before realising how rude that may have sounded. "I'm sorry!" Levy yelled in fear as she glanced up at Erzas murderous eyes.

Finding the will to bury her fury, Erza thanked Levy and went to fetch Master Makarov.

Mika was actually rather excited to see what would happen here. She'd heard of how strong Makarov Dreyar is but having never met him in person, she has no idea of how powerful the small, old, titan mage actually is. It's pretty obvious that he's powerful. One does not simply become a Wizard Saint if they're anything less than one of the best. Well, unless you're Cap of course. In Mikas opinion, he's stronger than the majority of the Wizard Saints.

A few short moments later Erza appeared down the flight of stairs that lead to the Masters office and an old man who did a surprisingly agile flip off of the top banister and onto a bar stool followed shortly after.

"So, you're Mika, correct?" Makarov inquired as he spun around on the bar stool to face Mika who had at this point removed her bag and fixed her hair after the train ride had messed it up slightly from it's usual very straight appearance.

"Yeah, sure am" Mika replied with a smile aimed at the small man.

Makarov then slipped his hand onto her ass and gave it a firm squish. "Hm, 're in so welcome to Fairy Tail!" He declared loud enough for the whole guild to hear.

"So, Erza tells me that you're a fire dragon slayer yourself. Is it true?" Makarov asked

"Yup. Raised by the Fire Dragon Volcania herself." Mika said with a very proud stance at mention of her mother.

"I don't suppose she went missing on 7/7/X777 too?" Gajeel cut into the conversation at hearing the mention of a dragon.

"Yeah, she did. I don't know why she left either. But, hey, I gave up on trying to find her a long time ago. Actually, speaking of finding people, there's a strange connection that occurs between Dragon Slayers of the same element. If you would like, I can try and use this connection to find your Salamander. All I'd need to do is get some of his clothes or something." Mika stated, thinking up any excuse to get to stay in Natsus home.

"Well, none of us have set foot in his home since he left. Not even Happy wants to because it reminds him so much of Natsu but I suppose you can check it out." Makarov said with a happy tone due to their being a new hope of finding Natsu due to this strange, unheard of connection between Dragon Slayers.

"Alright. I'll check it out later but for now can I get some grub, I'm starvin'" Mika asked before her stomach growled seconds later, giving more proof of how hungry she actually was.

Out of no where, Mira slid a bowl of fire onto the table in seconds and said with a beaming smile "Dig in"

Within seconds the fire was gone and Mika was resting back with a gut that would put Everloo to shame. "Man that hit the spot." Mika said whilst rubbing her stomach that was on the verge of exploding after consuming the very large bowl of dark red flames.

"I'm glad you liked it." Mira sent a thankful smile towards Mika "It's the exact same fire I would make Natsu when he came back from a mission, famished."

"He must've enjoyed it a lot." Mika stated with a warming smile. It was a nice smile but the warming bit was coming from her secretly, although just a little bit might I add, burning Gray for the simple reason of being an Ice Make Wizard.

After finally feeling the fire inside his shoe, Gray burst upwards and began yelling "HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT" over and over again until Juvia finally got over the fact that when he leapt upwards, he somehow removed every single item of clothing that was, emphasis of was, on his body, put the fire out with an over the top Water Slicer attack that left Gray in a fairly bad state because the brunt of the attack hit his groin.

The guild, already liking Mika despite her not even having a guild marker, something she fully intended on getting in the same colour and place that Natsu got it. Once again, she'd make up some crap about Elemental Dragon Slayer habits or something along those lines.

After a short wait, Mira returned to the main hall with the guild marker in hand and she asked the usual question of "Where do you want me to stamp it and what colour would you like it to be?" to which Mika replied "Right Shoulder and in a nice red colour." Mika pushed her cloak to the side and rolled up her short sleeve to reveal her right shoulder for Mira to place the Guild Mark.

'Cap I swear to god if you've not disabled this then I'm gonna analy violate you from the dead!' Mika roared internally, thinking about the consequence of joining another guild whilst bearing The Fraternity's guild mark along ones back. It was the same for all members, although it varied in size occasionally it was always the sae shape, same location and the same colour as all others within the guild. The consequence of joining another guild whilst in The Fraternity is death but before Mika had left, Cap had removed the seal placed on a person after receiving the stamp.

Thankfully, Mika didn't spontaneously explode from her innards after Mira placed the stamp on her and let it rest for a bit to engrave the Fairy Tail mark into her skin.

"Heh, what a coincidence, the two Fire Dragon Slayers getting their guild marks in the exact same place." Macao said almost immediately after Mika received her guild stamp.

"Really? Natsu got it in the same place? It's probably the Elemental preference thing. It's one of these Dragon Slayer type things that alters the way we view things. We always look for the same type of things and what not, makes it easy for Dragon Slayers of the same element to find mates and so on." Mika said, making up 99% of it on the spot. The only truth was the mating and that something was still out of Natsus knowledge.

"Well, I'll start looking for Natsu. Tell me where his house is and I'll have a look for it." Mika said with a smile to finish. She wasn't being her usual flirtatious self, because that side of her was now reserved solely for Natsu. Now that he was within her grasp, she would never betray how she felt for him. This was a rather large turning point for Mika. Changing herself for Fairy Tail.

"Okay, I'll take you. Natsu and I used to live together" Happy said, appearing on Mikas shoulder.

Mika then seemed to light up "Oh, aren't you a cutie?" She said, pulling on Happy's cheek.

"Most people are quite freaked out by the whole talking, flying, fish obsessed cat thing." Lucy stated, earing a "Hey that's no fair. Fish are just obsessed with being eaten by me!" from Happy.

"Alright eh..." Mika bent over to Lucy and whispered in her ear "What's the cats name again?" She asked

"He's happy. We've got 2 more exceeds. Our bossy and protective Charla and the Strict and Strong, Lily." Lucy said, pointing towards the two other exceeds.

"So, if they're strong and what not, what's Happy?" Mika asked

"Annoying" Said the whole guild in unison. Even those who were away on jobs felt the need to say annoying, which ended up with one of them being found inside a bush outside if a Dark Guilds hideout.

"You guys are mean" Happy said upon Mikas shoulder.

"C'mon happy. Let's find Natsu." Mika said with a warming smile. The warming part also coming from her once again, heating grays feet to astounding heats for the sake of it.

(After a short walk to Natsus house)

During the short walk, Mika listened to Happy talk about stories and adventures he and Natsu shared. All the times that Natsu had saved the Guild and it's members, the funny little quirks that caused Natsu to make the whole guild a brighter place to be, his funny moments that would lighten any mood and his protectiveness over his Nakama.

Mika entered Natsus house alone. Happy deciding that he still thought of Natsu too much when he entered the house, had turned back and said he'd meet her at the guild.

Upon entering Natsus house, Mika was surprised. Not by the mess, not by the job list, none of that. What was surprising her was she was being kissed.

Immediately she lit up her hand and gave who ever it was a very powerful jab to the temple, causing the intruder to fly to the side and crash into Natsus hammock.

"Sheesh, thanks. Here's me thinking after this morning we'd be on the level where I can kiss you." Natsu said, leaning against his hammock with one hand and using the other to massage his swollen temple.

"Oh, Natsu?! I didn't know it was you." Mika then glanced at his hair. "So, you finally dyed it?" She asked, looking at his now red hair that was messy as always. Wait, that could be problematic. He'd likely have to adopt a new style aswell, and Mika knew just what she wanted.

"You need to change your hair. Make it longer and put it an a single pony tail at the back." Mika commanded with a straight face.

"WHAT?! NO FRICKIN' WAY!" Natsu yelled, clutching his hair protectively causing him to fall over due to a lack of support against the hammock.

"Yes way. You're my bitch, remember? And I command you to, until I say otherwise, make your hair longer and put it in a pony tail." She demanded. The sound of a whip cracking coming from somewhere just to add to the feeling of being a bitch.

"Fuck sake, you're really abusing this power aren't you? Anyway, next time we fight you won't stand a chance." Natsu said, standing up quickly and pointing an aggressive finger towards Mika.

"Just because you're going to go all fancy fire magic on me, doesn't mean I'm going to lose." Mika said, pointing her very own aggressive finger towards Natsu

"Then it's a good thing I'm learning something else." Natsu said, turning his body to the side and putting his head up, closing his eyes and grabbing his shirt in a very snobby way.

"What?! Tell me! I command you!" Mika yelled, wanting desperately to know how the hell Natsu was going to beat her, simply so she can find ways to counter it before their next battle that would determined, who is the ruler of the Fire Dragon Slayers.

"Can't. Cap's orders are that not a single person, in or out, of the guild is to know of what I'm doing." Natsu said, holding his posture to further annoy Mika.

"WHA-" Mika started yelling but Natsu interrupted.

"I need to go and you need to start looking for someone. Also, have this. Just say you found it and I left a note saying that only fire dragons benefit from the scarf and so, any fire dragon slayer is to wear this scarf since I don't want it." Natsu said, quickly scribbling his message down on a piece of paper that was lying somewhere inside the heaps of rubbish, clothes, kitchen wear and money that is - no, was, Natsus home. It's no longer where he stays.

Mika unraveled the scarf from his neck slowly, feeling a bit guilty at her removing his most prized possession. Even she knew that Natsu valued this thing more than some human beings so why would he give it up? Does it remind him of Fairy Tail or something? Is it just not his thing anymore? Is he too recognizable with it so he decided to give it away to hide himself better? Does he finally realise that it doesn't go with his new outfit? All of these were possibilities but when Mika snapped out of her thoughts, Natsu had already used a Teleportation Lacrima that he had taken from the guild and was back at The Fraternity's guild hall.

"Damn him and his stupid Lacrima. Wait, how did I not smell Natsu in here when I first approached. How the hell did he manage to evade my senses?! I've got a better fucking nose than he does and yet I couldn't smell him?!" Mika was now furious. She had made it her goal to sneak up on whoever had a weaker nose and hearing than her and Natsu had somehow masked his unique scent from her. She was so gonna kick his ass in their next fight, regardless of his new technique.

'right, let's get looking around his house and see what we can see.' Mika thought as she scanned his house. The first thing that came to mind was it smelled pretty damn nice for a house so messy. It smelt a lot like him simply due to the large amount of time that he had spent in here. Another thing that Mika noticed was a small, unlocked cabinet next to where Natsu was standing upon her entering his house. Letting her curiosity get the better of her, Mika bent down to inspect the small cabinet and why it was emitting so much power. When she bent down far enough to peer into the cabinet, she could only see an empty wooden box. What her eyes missed however was a tiny, blue shard of a crystal hiding at the back of the case, unseen.

"Damn, I've got a lot of cleaning to do. How can I make this go faster?" Mika thought as she tapped her chin, gazing off above her at Natsus ceiling, trying to think of more ways to make her life that little bit easier.

Then she realised something. "Screw cleaning. Who needs it." and like that she brushed the idea of cleaning into the fiery pits of her stomach.

Mika then approached the board that Natsu had made of all the missions he'd ever done and it's safe to say she was astounded. Not by the quantity but by how much he cared for them. Mika finally understood it. Natsu felt so strongly about his family in Fairy Tail and for them to turn round and say he's too reckless, too stupid, too incompetent. It must've really broken his heart to hear those words coming from his family. Although Mika herself has no real understanding of a family due to the fact that, although everyone in The Fraternity are good friends, they don't really act like family. It's more like a gathering of friends who simply share the same need to hurt someone or break something of significant value.

"How could they?" Mika said with a distasteful tone. "Happy told me that he saved them time and time again and even still, they had the audacity to call him incompetent?!" She yelled in rage as her angry thoughts continued along their set course. Unknowing to her, the emotion fueled flames of the Fire Dragon Slayers started roaring around her. Her red flames with a beautiful pink base would've charred the house to the ground a very long time ago if not for the fact Natsu had taken the time to have someone place runes around his house making it virtually impervious to fire damage, unless the source of it was far more powerful than her or Natsu. Two people who are, likely without question, among the strongest Fire Wizards around. Especially Natsu considering he might be one of the three.

The rest of Mikas search was pretty basic. Not much to be found other than some old clothes and his dusty kitchen ware. Her curiosity seemed to continuously return to that small, floor level, cabinet that Natsu had collected something from.

"I suppose I can just head back now. I like this scarf though, I might just have to keep it even if these guys in Fairy Tail don't exactly approve." Mika mused to herself as she stroked the white, scaly scarf that was currently tied around her neck, with the ends thrown over her shoulders to leave a loose band of the material resting on her shoulders.

"Things are sure to heat up from here on out." Were Mikas last words before leaving Natsus house to return to Fairy Tail and report on her needing more time to evaluate his unique signature and locate it.

(Back at Virkanes)

Cap and Natsu were currently standing in front of the job board. Cap saying another step that was involved in joining Caps Elite team was that he might -no- must, take a life before he is to join.

Natsu was looking at the job with a rather pleasant surprise. The job read as follows.

1 Man and 1 Woman wanted dead.

Details : The man in question is named Julius Harell, a judge at Crocus Magical Court of Wizard Misconduct. He is a mage but lacks the ability to pose a threat to any offensive magic user that accepts this request. He was the one who falsely accused my Husband raping a girl using his binding magic. As a result my Husband has been wrongly sentenced to 15 years in 3rd level security with no parole.

The woman is the one who claimed to have been raped by my Husband. This woman is also a good friend of mine and is named Makina Junibu. She is a non-magic user and shall pose absolutely no threat to a mage. Her incredible fear of fire and lightning storms is a formidable way of guaranteeing her death as she cannot stand the heat of fire, the flash of lightning or the drums of lightning.

*Insert picture of a man here*

*Insert picture of a woman here*

Reward for completion : 230,000 Jewel paid in cash

Please activate the Orange transaction Lacrima supplied with the job request

Posted on 13th October X784

Cap looked over to Natsu as he read the mission details "This seems perfectly suited for you. Someone who fears Fire and Thunder should tremble in fear at your presence. At the end of this mission you are to publically display the body of the woman, am I clear?" Cap said in a commanding tone as he patted Natsu through his cloaked shoulder.

"What?! I don't even know if I can kill them and you want me to show off their corpses?! Why the hell would I do that?! It's disrespectful to the people!" Natsu yelled in rage at his most recent command that he agreed with on absolutely no level.

"Natsu, these people are vermin. Framing someone for doing such a vile act is unforgivable. Not to mention the money she scammed the man out of. Don't you see Natsu. This world is corrupt on such astronomical proportions that the cloud of darkness that is shrouding Fiore is too thick for the citizens to see the light past it." Cap then clenched his fist on Natsu's shoulder and uttered a short sentence that gave Natsu a whole new feeling. A feeling of wanting to take these people's lives.

"After we achieve a flawless system in Fiore. I will harm no hair on a single Fairies head, nor so feather on the wings of a Pegasus or the scales of a Lamia and leave each and every single one of those miserable guild members to you. You will be able to have the revenge you long for." Cap whispered in a sinister tone.

"I'll do it."

(Back at Fairy Tail (Yes I know, another location change. I'm such a spaz))

Mika arrived back at Fairy Tail with time to spare before Mira began plating up everyone's dinners. Despite having some of the tastiest fire she had tasted in a rather long time, less than a single hour ago, Mika would gladly sit down for some more food with the rest of her new guild mates. She planned to get to know them better and perhaps some information as to why Natsu has two elements. It was something she never actually got to hear from him but it's certainly a subject that has piqued her interest for the time being.

"Ah, Mika, you're back..." Lucy greeted with a smile before her smile turned to a frown upon seeing the scarf "and you've brought Natsus scarf? Where did you get that?" Lucy asked, voicing the question the entire guild was wanting to ask. That scarf was a present from Igneel, it was thee scarf. Something Natsu would wash everyday, never pull a thread or play with the fabric. He'd repair every strand of damage done to it within the hour and most of all, he never let it go.

"Yeah. It was just lying on his hammock with a note attached to it." Mika said, reaching into the pocket of her deep pockets of the plain black cloak she had taken, to avoid any strange magic that may have lingered on the cloak being detected and traced back to The fraternity, and pulled out a small note, written close to 7 minutes ago by Natsu.

"He really left the cloak for another Dragon Slayer, huh? That's so odd of him." Lucy said in confusion.

"Food's up" Mira declared, walking into the centre of the tables with a tray in each hand with food and drink piled high on each. Reading out certain orders and watching people come and collect them, Mika stood, fairly baffled by the sheer quantity of guild members this place had, despite there being some on jobs, there was a lot more than she had previously thought.

"Red Oak Charcoal, 4 minute flames and chest nut embers?" Mira read off of a small slip of paper that could only have been something for Mika to have. Walking up and grabbing the order, Mika sat next to the table that contained "Team Natsu", Master Makarov, The Exceeds, Dragon Slayers and the Strauss Family.

As the meals went on, funny banter and the occasional friendly insult was tossed around from table to table. Eventually, Mika decided to ask the table that likely knew Natsu the best out of everyone here where Natsu got his second element, that had been a bad move.

"So, how did Natsu get his Lightning Flame Dragon Mode?" Mika asked, taking another bite out of the fire.

"He doesn't have two elements, does he?" Gray asked, placing his food back on the plate to examine his friends faces. The only one that didn't look surprised was Master Makarov.

"Well I suppose I'd better speak up now that it's out. Speaking of which, how did you know that Natsu has a second elemental magic?" Makarov inquired with curiosity leading his thoughts.

"It's actually pretty well know among the magic world if you know where to look." Mika brushed off the question with minimal effort.

"Well, fair enough. Natsu does in fact have 2 Dragon Slayer Magics. His Flames from Igneel and the Thunder from my Grandson, Laxus. I presume you all remember the catastrophe that is last years Fantasia Parade. Laxus decided to cast Thunder Palace and the guild was launched into internal conflict. During Natsus fight with Laxus on the roof of the Cathedral, Natsu attempted to eat the flames from a few sparklers some kids were holding, upon taking in the magic, Laxus attacked him with the Breakdown Fist of the Thunder Dragon and Natsu devoured the lightning aswell as the flames. Soon after eating the foreign magic, his body adapted and he was able to use the new spells of the Thunder Dragon." Makarov finished the story leaving a few members astounded by Natsus ability.

'I'm just surprised he survived it. Devouring foreign magic can kill us' Mika said in her thoughts.

"If Natsu were to use it in a fight against most of us, what are the chances of us winning?" Gray asked, determined to make sure that Natsu did not surpass him.

"Nil" Gajeel interjected

"He's right" Wendy agreed.

"Unless you're me." Mika said nonchalantly

"How can you stand against him? Wouldn't the lightning just hit you like normal, despite you dispelling the flames." Erza asked as she placed her empty plate down on the table.

"RE-QUIP : Lightning Empress Armour!"

Well guy, hows that? The Fraternity and Natsu Deathbringer are back in action. A huge thanks to my Beta Reader x-05-x who has hopefully made my stories easier to understand. I'll respond to your reviews in the next chapter , until then have a good one :D
