Chapter Ten
The battle with two dragons was really horrifying because there was a lot of blood here and there and bites here and there too but the two dragons still didn't hear Natsu screaming for help. When Natsu finally felt the stinging impact of the cold salty sea water hit Natsu's back. Natsu was in so much pain but not just because of the impact that she got but plus the icy cold sea water stabbing into Natsu's skin like a thounsdas of knifes go into her skin at once. Natsu couldn't move body at all because her whole body was paralyzed from the icy cold water.
Natsu didn't know what to do at all. She couldn't swim back up to the surface because her body was paralyzed from the cold water and she was soon going to lose whatever oxagion she had left. Natsu was slowly drifting down to the bottom of the sea. She knew she was going to die of drowning. Then all of a sudden Natsu felt something grab her and then everything went black.
Three hours passed by and Natsu started to finally wake up. She was surprise that she was alive but how though? When she looked around to check her soundings, she notices that she was in a medium size bedroom. The walls were painted purple, the floor was wood, the window had black dragon heart curtains, there was a small desk in the corner of the room with a bookshelf filled with books and pictures right next to it, there was a black dresser with a miorr and the bed that she was laying on had a black and blue confuter on it with black and blue pillows, and right next to her was Maikeru kneeling by the bed side fast asleep.
Natsu was surprise but also happy to see Maikeru but why was he by her bed and then Natsu remember that Maikeru was the one that saved her life. So Natsu leaned her head over to Maikeru and kissed him on the forehead and said….. "Thank you for saving me."
After that Natsu got out of the bed but when she got out of the bed she notice that she was wearing a blue kimono with a black and blue dragon on it. When she tried to move around her legs still felt num and before Natsu could fall Maikeru caught her and said into her ear….. "You know you still can't walk yet. You still need to rest to gather all of your strength. Now come back to bed." Natsu started to blush but before she could protest the bedroom door open. "It's about time you two woke up. Zeniba keeps talking about how that I should make tea while she makes cookies." Natsu couldn't help but giggle. But Haku couldn't get mad at his little sister. He's just happy that she's alive still.
When Haku, Maikeru and Natsu walked to the kitchen Zeniba told them to take a seat at the table when she gets the tea ready. When she gave everyone their tea Zeniba sat down next to Natsu while no-face was giving everyone their food. Then Zeniba looked at Natsu and notice that she hasn't drinked her tea yet or eaten her cookie then she said…. "Natsu dear, why won't you eat or drink your tea? Are you feeling alright dear?" "I don't know granny. I just feel so weak all of a sudden and I can't remember anything at all. I just feel like nothing is happing and then somehow I forgotten what happen." "Nothing that happens is ever forgotten, even if you can't remember it." "But granny when I met Maikeru I feel like I knew him forever but I can't remember."
"Once you meet someone, you never really forget them. It just takes a while for your memory to come back to you." "Then how do I remember you and no-face then?" "Because you're gaining your memory back really slowly it just takes time dear. You're just like your mother. I remember your mother telling me that she felt so weak because she couldn't break your fathers cure. And I remember telling her that gentleness is stronger than severity, that water is stronger than rock, that love is stronger than force." Then Natsu, Maikeru and Haku said… "What those suppose to mean?" Zeniba signed and said….. "It means if you beat someone enough times, eventually they will attack you in return, but show kindness to them and they will die protecting you. That you are far stronger and more capable of changing things than mere water and that very few of your issues in life are anywhere near as hard as rock. And your love is stronger than your hate never let your hate take your love away."
Natsu didn't know what to say at all. She's trying really hard to remember everything and she's trying to bring Chihiro back to life too, but she's only half spirit though. When Maikeru was about to say something to Zeniba, he put his left hand on Natsu's hand and held her hand tight. And said… "Zeniba do you know what kind of spirit Natsu is?" Zeniba looked at Haku and then back at Maikeru and Natsu and said…. "Natsu is Hauk's river spirit guardian which is a very powerful spirit and she's a very rara dragon too." Natsu was in shock of what Zeniba said. When Natsu looked at Haku, she started to think of what Zeniba said. Is she really a powerful spirit and if that's true is she stronger then Haku. "Haku I want you to teach me magic." Haku got really mad of what his sister just said. So he got out of his seat and slammed his hands onto the table and said…. "WHY IN THE HELL SHOULD I TEACH YOU MAGIC? WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAVE TO LEARN MAGIC SO DAMN BADLY?" Natsu was getting really mad at her brother Haku. Then she got out of her seat and slammed her hand on the table and said…. "BECAUSE I WANT TO BECOME STRONGER SO I CAN BRING CHIHIRO BACK TO LIFE! SO WHY IS IT SO HARD TO TEACH ME MAGIC! DO YOU EVEN WANT TO SEE CHIHIRO AGAIN ANDHOLD HER IN YOUR ARMS!"
Haku wanted to punch his sister really bad but every time that he hears his sister say something about Chihiro, it's like he can see Chihiro standing right there in front of him. All he just wants is his sister to stay alive. He just got her back and now he's hearing Natsu say that she wants to sacrifice herself to bring Chihiro back. Why can't his sister see that he cares for her? He doesn't want to be the bad guy at all. All he wants' is his sister to stay alive. Natsu means the world to Haku so why can't she see that.
"Maikeru go take Natsu outside to cool herself off." "Ok Zeniba."
