Chapter 10
"I'm so sorry for your loss" Erza said looking at her hands hiding her emotions. Lucy was also on the verge of tears
"Here" Osamus mother said sadly. She gave the wizards their reward.
"No we can't take this. We didn't com-" Erza was saying
"Please just take this. You risked your life. Please just take it and please leave" the old lady said with tears and Erza took the reward but then placed it back on the table.
"I'm sorry but I can't take" Erza said which almost turned into a yell
"Thank you please go" one of the maiden said. She was worried for her bosses health.
"Yes" Erza said.
They left the house and walked in silence. When they went on the train gray asked Erza
"You saw the tattoo right?"
"Yes" Erza said looking out of the window
"What was it? And how did Natsu know him oh also did he know Osamu. Where did he get all those scars from?" Gray asked
"I honestly don't know. It seems that he had been keeping a lot from secrets from us" Erza said
Happy was sitting on Lucy's lap.
"Do you know anything?" Lucy asked happy
"No. Why would I know anything?" Happy asked keeping his cool. He knew that if he said anything about Natsu's past he would be fed to the fishes. Even though happy is the worst liar ever he can keep a secret especially if that secret was as big as Natsu's.
"What did you guys fight about?" Erza asked
"Oh you still remember that" happy said chuckling
"Spill it cat" Lucy demanded the little cat
"Natsu didn't want to go on the mission and I called him a whimp" happy said half lying.
"That's it" gray said
"Yeh" happy said hoping that they would drop it. Fortunately they did. The rest of the ride was silent. They walked to the guild and was greeted by a drunk Cana,a smiling mirajane and other guild members.
"Hey where's Natsu?" Gildarts asked noticing the salamander was missing.
"Yeh and why do you guys look so gloomy" Cana said looking slightly concerned which was surprising considering how drunk she was.
"We will tell you later. Where's master?" Erza said coldly
"In his office" Mira said looking quite scared
"Thank you" Erza said in her normal tone. She walked to Markov's office with the rest of the team following.
In the middle of the forest.
"How do you know he wanted to feel some relief by making an empty grave" ash asked Natsu who was holding his arm in pain
"I did the same thing for my parents" Natsu said emotionless
"What happened to your parents?" Ash asked
"Look. We aren't here to talk about me we are here to help you. Ok?" Natsu said getting annoyed
"Ok. I'm sorry" ash apologised
They kept on walking and Natsu reached his destination. Their were 2 rocks.
"Sit on that rock" Natsu commanded pointing towards one of the rocks. Ash did as Natsu said he sat down.
"Whats the point of this?" Ash asked
"Meditate" natsu said sitting down on the rock.
"How is this going to help me?" Ash asked
"Why did you come to get me?" Natsu asked ignoring his precious question
"I don't know." Ash said
"WHY?" Natsu yelled at ash
"I Don't know. Because the demon wanted you" ash said panicking. He was frightened at Natsu's tone
"What happened before you came here? What happened before you stalked the old man to get to me?"Natsu questioned glaring at ash
"I had a fight with my team"ash said remembering what happened
Flashback
"Ash you need to control your anger" Mei yelled
"What do you have a problem with me?" Ash retorted said lying down on the couch
"I didn't say that I had a problem with you" Mei yelled
"Then why did you say I need to control my anger. Are you saying that I have anger issues?" Ash yelled at Mei. He stood up.
"Yes she is" Yoishiko said coming down the stairs
"Your not helping" Mei said in a calmer voice. "I was just saying that when you get angry the demon part of you comes out"
"I'm sorry but this demon is me and this demon has saved our lives" ash yelled.
Flash back end
"So anger triggered your demon. And sudden emotion with allow the demon to take over. You came after me because we are brothers by demon" Natsu explained
"So what does meditating have to do with anything?" Ash asked
"Spirtual energy my ass" Natsu said. "You have to calm down your body. When ever you feel angry just meditate. After a while you will just need to close your eyes and the anger will disappear" Natsu said
"Alright" ash said
Natsu and has stayed up all day meditating.
"Man it's already dark" ash said opening his yes and looking around.
"Yeh I should get going" Natsu said
"Where?" Ash asked standing up
"To Osamus house" Natsu said looking down
"I'm sorry I di-" ash started to say
"Shut it" Natsu said venomously. Ash stayed silent.
"I will teleport you there" ash whispered
"Thanks" Natsu said. His voice sounding sad. Ash touched Natsu's shoulder and teleported to Osamus house.
"You should go back to your team" Natsu said trying to hold in his vomit
"But how ab-" ash said but then was cut off by Natsu
"I will walk" Natsu said getting over his sickness
"That will take you almost 7 hours by foot. I could her you back in 5 seconds." ash said
"Don't worry about me" Natsu said smiling at Ash. Ash had never seen Natsu smile like that before.
"Thank you...brother" ash said teleporting away
Natsu knocked on the door. He asked if he could talk Osamus mother. Osamu stitched up the wound on Natsu's arm. Natsu started to explain to her what happened to her grandchild. He didn't want to go into to much detail. He said that Aki was the most beautiful person in the world. Aki's full name was Akira. Osamus mothers name was kiyio. They talked all night. Kiyio gave Natsu a picture of Aki when she was a little girl and she gave a mother picture to him of Aki before she disappeared. She wore the same white dress.
"Thank you so much. I can finally feel relief at least now I can die in peace" kiyio said
"Don't talk like that. It's bad luck" Natsu said
"Don't worry. I'm only 87 yrs old. I still have a couple of years. You should be going shouldn't you" kiyio said. She didn't want to worry the child. She was dying. Her last day was going to be tommorow but she didn't want to worry the poor boy.
"Yes but I can stay if your like" Natsu offered
"Nonsense. Go. Oh and take these pictures with you" she gave to natsu
"Thank you" Natsu said taking the out.
"Natsu" kiyio whispered. She clutched her heart in pain.
"Miss" one of the maiden yelled out catching kiyio
