Natsu wanted everything to stop...the last thing he remembered was letting himself being consumed by the darkness, he remembered seeing he's mother too.

Everything hurt, Natsu tried moving he's body but to no avail, everything was to painful.

"Natsu" a voice in the dark spoke. Natsu's eyes widen as he recognised that voice.

"Keita" Natsu mumbled.

"Natsu, my brother" Keita said, he emerged from the shadows that surrounded Natsu.

"What the hell do you want?" Natsu asked, his voice was seeping with venom

"You died Natsu" Keita said without any emotions. Natsu's face expression changed from shocked to angry

"You should've let me die" Natsu shouted

"You wish to die? Why?" Keita ask with out any real concern. Natsu didn't answer instead he changed the topic.

"You said I died. How is this possible?" Natsu asked

"I brought you back to life" Keita said

"What's the catch?" Natsu asked. Bringing someone back to life always has a cost.

"Catch? I already paid the price for you Natsu" Keita replied

"What do you mean?" Natsu asked with confusion

"A life for a life" Keita replied so nonchalantly, it disgusted Natsu how calm Keita was about killing someone.

"Who?" Natsu asked angrily

"I forget he's name. The venom one" Keita said while trying to think about the guy who he had killed.

"He was working for you. He was your friend" Natsu shouted angrily.

"I do not care for friends. I only care for 2 people in this pitiful world" Keita replied harshly

"Yeh and who should those 2 people be?" Natsu asked smugly

"You and our sister" Keita replied calmly.

"Our sister?" Natsu scoffed. "She's not my sister and your not my brother" Natsu said with disgust in his voice.

"Your soul has been tainted with darkness Natsu" Keita said.

"What?" Natsu asked in a low voice

"Why don't you use the power that you were born with?" Keita asked without emotion

"Born with? I wasn't born with those so called powers. I was an experiment. As father called me, a experiment gone wrong" Natsu replied

Flashback

"Mother won't approve of this father" a young girl said softly. The young girl was 10 years old. She had long blonde hair and she wore a white dress which had dirt and blood smeared over it.

"I do not care for your mothers approval" the man said. The man and the young girl was standing a basement of some sort. There were 2 big tubes with a human in each tube. The tubes were filled with cords and needles that were attached to the human within the tube. Liquids were flowing a through the tubes. Each tube had a label on them. One said Natsu- 2 years and the other said Keita-4 years old.

"What powers do you wish to give them father?" The curious young girl asked

"What powers to want me to give them, Akame?" The man asked a genuine question.

"Hmmm? I would give Keita...the soul destruction ability" Akame replied

"What use would that ability be for me?" The man asked selfishly

"Keita will be able to manipulate people who possess any darkness within their soul, he'll be able to steal whoever soul that has been tainted with darkness, he can feed you with souls. The more souls you get the more stronger you get , am I right father?" Akame asked her father with beautiful green eyes.

"Yes Akame you are right as always. And how about your brother Natsu?" The man asked he's daughter.

"Hmmmmm...How about being able to manipulate the fire of hell?" Ayame suggested

"Yes that would be a wise power indeed. I'll give them those powers that you have suggested. Thank you Ayame" the man said. The young girl looked at her father with pure happiness.

Flashback end

"Natsu, have you used your powers?" Keita asked

"Why would I want to?" Natsu asked Keita with disgust

"Natsu...the darkness within you will gradually grow if you use your powers. You'll be consumed by the darkness that consumes your family" Keita replied

"Good thing I don't plan on using it" Natsu replied

"There will come a time, when you must use your powers. Whether it's for good or evil" Keita replied, he ignored Natsu's statement. Keita began walking closer to Natsu. Natsu didn't move a muscle.

"Brother, why do you still resent me? I gave you life once more" Keita asked with confusion.

"I don't resent you Keita. You kept your promise to me. Thank you brother" Natsu replied.

"Natsu...are you happy here?" Keita asked.

"Yes...I've made great friends, I consider them to be my family" Natsu replied honestly.

"Natsu, I will allow you to return to your family. Don't give in to the darkness" Keita said with a hint of bitterness. He began disappearing

"Wait" Natsu shouted. Keita waited for Natsu to continue. "What happened to Meika?"

Keita gave Natsu a questioning look. He recalled the battle he had with Meika.

Flashback

Meika was standing in front of Keita.

"Turn back now. You do not stand a chance against me" Keita said. Meika was bleeding profusely on her left arm.

"Your father killed my family" Meika cried out. She lit up a white orb, the orb was flowing with magic. She ran at lightning speed towards Keita, the faster she ran, the more powerful the orb became. Keita gave Meika a cold look. Just as Meika was going to attack, Keita gave Meika an order.

"Stop" Keita said firmly. Meika suddenly froze in her spot. She was only inches from hitting Keita with her orb.

"What the hell did you do to me?" Meika shouted angrily. She tried to move but to no avail. Her orb disappeared from her hands.

"You have darkness within your soul. Why would my brother love someone like you?" Keita asked

"Your brother? You mean Natsu. You shouldn't even consider your self to be he's brother" Meika spat. Keita's eyes widened, he's eyes turned from dark red to pure black. He slapped Meika across the face and she fell on the ground. She didn't have the energy to get up from her fall.

Keita grabbed Meika by the shirt on her shoulders, he forced her to stand upright.

"Do you love my brother?" Keita asked angrily. Meika stared at Keita with anger and hatred.

"With all my heart" Meika replied honestly.

"The why come here and risk your life? WAS MY BROTHER NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?" Keita shouted at her angrily.

Tears began falling from Meika's eyes. She smiled as she thought of Natsu.

"Like you said...My soul has been tainted with darkness, Natsu's soul...is pure. He shouldn't be around someone who could lead him to he's own death" Meika replied sadly. Keita looked into Meika's eyes. He was able to see into her soul. He was about to take Meika's soul but he decided against it. Keita threw Meika onto the ground.

"Natsu loves you, don't make me regret my decision" Keita said. He disappeared into the darkness and left the bloodied and beat Meika on the ground. She punched the ground angrily.

"Natsu..." Meika whispered softly.

Flashback Ends

"The last time I saw her, she was live" Keita said. He then disappeared. Natsu began losing consciousness. He's eye lids got heavier and heavier. He began feeling something with on he's neck, he heard the voices of he's friends speak to him as they thought he was dead. Natsu tried to move, he tried to give them any indication that he was alive.

Three words. Those three words were the reason why Natsu was able to get out of he's paralysed state. He's eyes was still close and heavy. He slowly began moving he's arm towards the source of those words. He's hands landed on top of Lucy's head.

"Don't...cry...Lushy" Natsu muttered weakly in a taunting voice.
