The sunlight made his way through the window and envelope Natsu's room and it hit his face. He felt the warm sensation on his face and slowly open his eyes. He laid on his bed starring at the celling thinking of his conversation with Lisana the day before. The felt devastated when he heard her answer and he just couldn't shake that felling of anger towards that person who held Lisana's feelings. He wanted to do something about it but did not knew what. At that moment he heard his door open and a blue little girl walk in.

"Good morning Natsu how are you" Wendy spoke as she climb into Natsu's bed and sat at the edge of it.

Natsu look at her and smile "Good morning Wendy I'm great… did you want something?" He ask

Wendy look at Natsu for couple of seconds before she spoke. "I wanted to ask you if we could go on a job together… It's just that we haven't spent too much time together, you are always out on jobs and I missed you I don't want to be left behind" Wendy said in a soft tone of voice that show a hint of sadness.

Natsu instantly pull Wendy into a tight hug. "Sorry Wendy for making you feel that way. Of course I would love to go on a job with you." Natsu responded

Wendy grew a smile on her face and her eyes glowed with excitement "Really"

"Yea so go get ready so we can go to the guild"

"We are back!" Natsu shouted as he and Wendy burst into the guild hall caching everyone's attention. Everyone greeted them and they greeted everyone back and Natsu headed towards where the younger members of Fairy Tail sat while Wendy when to the Mission board.

"Hello Natsu" Erza said as Natsu took a seat and greeted her back.

"So what are you up to today?" Mira ask

"Well today I'm taking Wendy on a Job" he responded

"That's great but make sure to keep her safe" Lisana said with a smile

"Of course I will" He said. He then notice that someone was missing from their table

"Where is Cana?" Natsu ask

"Well today she got here very early and took a job and then left. She seem very excited about it" Levy responded. This made Natsu smile knowing that Cana was going to work hard to earn her a spot at the S-Class trials.

"Natsu I have the mission are you ready" Wendy ask as she came running towards the table with a flayer in hand.

"Well I guess I'll see you guys when we come back" Natsu said as he stood up and walk towards Wendy and made their way to the guild doors but when they were about to reach it a lighting struck in front of them. Natsu got angry knowing who it was

"Hold it Natsu" it was Laxus walking towards Natsu and Wendy

The temperature in the guild was rising at a fast rate and everyone stood silent as they watch the events unfolding.

"What do you want Laxus" Natsu ask trying to hide the anger in his voice

"I want to speak with you" Laxus responded as he stood in front of Natsu

"Well you would need to wait until I get back from my job" Natsu said as he turn around and started to walk away from him. Laxus then mutter something that no one else heard except Natsu and Wendy. Natsu stood still for a couple of seconds before he turn around to face Natsu.

"Now now let's not fight in the guild again" Ur said as she came in between the two wizards in an attempt to prevent a battle that would definitely destroy the guild hall.

"Fine" Natsu responded surprising everyone in the guild

"You can join us if you want" Natsu added.

Laxus just nodded and fallow bot Natsu and Wendy out the guild. Everyone was surprise that Laxus had agreed to go on a job with someone. He usually went alone.

"What just happen?" Gray ask

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this" Elfman mention.

"I wonder why was Natsu so mad, I know they fought once but I dint know that he dint like him" Levy said.

Everyone made a comment about the events that just took place and wonder why Natsu seem to be mad at Laxus. Only a white haired girl did not said anything she had a small frown on her face she knew the reason of Natsu's anger.

Natsu Wendy and Laxus had arrive at their destination. Throughout the trip no one had spoken Wendy had cast a spell on Natsu to help him tolerate his motion sickness and surprisingly she cast the same spell on Laxus. Natsu had tried to control any anger whiting him, Laxus was thinking of how to ask Natsu his question and Wendy was just sitting there in silence. They walk out of the train station and walk into town.

"So what is the mission?" Laxus ask

"We have to rescue a party of business man that ware traveling from this town but got ambush by a bunch of thieves." Wendy said

"How do we Know that they are not dead yet" Laxus ask.

"Well they were being escorted by some wizards but apparently the thieves are to strong and they can't beat them." Wendy added.

"Well if they are so strong why are you here" Laxus ask looking down on Wendy

"She is here because despite her age she as strong magic, the same magic that I have "This time it was Natsu to speak. Laxus just look at him and nodded.

"So Laxus what exactly do you wanted to ask me" Natsu ask as they walk through the town

"I think we should talk about it after we finish this mission" Laxus said to which Natsu seem too agreed.

They continue walking until they arrive at the Hotel were the person that posted the job was suppose be. They walk into the Hotel and Wendy ask the receptionist for the client.

"Excuse me, we are Fairy Tail Mages we would like to speak to Jude Heartfilia" As soon as Natsu heard this he became nervous. He did not read the paper so he dint knew who has placed the job order. The receptionist told them to wait in the lobby and that Mr. Heartfilia would be there with them. A few minutes had passed when a tall blond man with a fancy business suit approach them

"Thank you for coming, I would like you to get going as soon as possible so let's get to the point" Jude said

"My associates were going back to their homes through a shortcut through the forest but then they got ambush by a bunch of thieves. They were supposed to be escorted by some wizards but the thieves seem to be too powerful. Right now they are in the forest north of here. The wizards seem to be keeping the thieves at bay but I don't know how long they are going to be able to keep that up. So please can you go and rescue them" Jude explain

"Yes sir you can count on us we will get the job done" Laxus said.

"Thank you"

Natsu and company ware about to leave when Jude grab Natsu by the arm.

"My daughter is with them. She got upset with me and got into their car and left with them… Please bring back my daughter to me." Jude whisper to Natsu. At this new information Natsu storm out the hotel fallow by his team mates.

Natsu was running through the forest at full speed with Wendy and Laxus behind them. Natsu knew he was getting close to the caravan because he could smell them. He try to smell Jude's daughter but instead he cough the smell on someone else he knew well.

"Dam it Ultear what are you doing here" Natsu mutter to himself. When he came close to the caravan that was seating in a small clearing, he jump into a tree and hid himself fallow by Wendy and Laxus.

"I see the wizards but I don't see the business man" Laxus said

"I think that they are inside the car" Wendy responded.

"The thieves are hiding in the trees, those wizards that ware contracted are keeping them at a distance Natsu explain

"What do we do Natsu?" Wendy ask

"Laxus you take down the thieves and buy some time so Wendy and I can take those wizards and business man away. Wendy you take care of any injuries that they might have while we make our get away" Natsu explain. He had to make sure that Jude's daughter was ok and if Ultear was here that she wouldn't hurt her. Laxus and Wendy nodded and prepare themselves.

Laxus started to attack and made a big commotion which Natsu and Wendy took advantage and ran towards the caravan.

"Are you Ok" Wendy ask the wizards

"Yes we are but we need to get out of here" one of them responded

Natsu ran towards the card and open the door inside he saw all of the business man

"His the girl here!?" Natsu ask.

All of them nodded and pointed to a blond girl that was sleeping on one the car seat. Natsu was relief that she was ok. He now needed to get them out of there. He knew that if Ultear was here he would have trouble getting them out of here so he needed a way to get them out of there without having to go through the bandits. Wendy had taken everyone to the car and was taking care of the injure people. That's when Natsu had an idea.

"Open gate of the maiden Virgo" Natsu summoned Virgo inside the car.

"Virgo I need you to dig a hole underneath the car all the way pass the thieves and them guide them to town," Natsu order.

Virgo nodded and got stared on making the hole. "Wendy I need you to go with them, I need to go help Laxus" Natsu said as he got out of the car and ran toward where the battle was taking place.

"Ice make: Rose krone!" Natsu heard the attack and knew who it was. He stopped running and turn around to face the attack. He jump into the air to doge the attack. He then turn to the direction where the attack came from.

"Ultear what are you doing here" Natsu ask looking at Ultear.

Ultear walk towards Natsu and stood a few feet across from Natsu with a smile on her face.

"I'm here on a mission for my guild" Ultear said as she got closer to Natsu and hug him.

He smile and hug her back. "I missed you so much Ultear" Natsu said. He wanted to ask her what she was doing there but decided against it. He needed to complete this mission as fast as possible and Ultear was a distraction.

"Look we can talk later but for now I too have a mission to complete" Natsu said as he pull her into a hug and then into a kiss. When they broke apart Natsu turn around and headed towards where Laxus was fighting. Ultear smile and she then to walk away.

It dint took long for Natsu and Laxus to defeat all of the bandits. After they tide them up and the Rune Knights arrested them they walk stated their way back to town to meet up with Wendy.

"I was wondering, how did you ever learn how to use celestial magic and when did you get those spirits?" Laxus ask with a lot of curiosity. Natsu look at him before responding

"It was a friend's gift" Natsu responded

"OOH by the way what was it that you needed to talk to me about?" This time Natsu ask with a lot of curiosity. Laxus stopped walking causing Natsu to do the same.

"There are two topics I wanted to talk to you about, first I wanted to know more about Dragon Slayer Magic and its effects on us… and…" Laxus said

Natsu look at him with a serious face "What is the second thing?" Natsu ask

Laxus look straight at Natsu's eyes. Natsu could see the lighting on his eyes he knew that Laxus was really serious. Laxus could also see the fire on Natsu's eyes and he knew that he was a serious as he was. Laxus opened his mouth to speak and…

"Lisana"

Natsu and Laxus made their way to town and when to the Hotel where they were supposed to meet up with Wendy. Laxus and Natsu had both serious look on their faces they had just had a very interesting conversation. Both of them were having their own thoughts on what they had just talk about. Soon they arrive to the Hotel and when inside to look for Wendy and their reward.

"Hey Natsu what took you so long" Wendy ask as she came to meet them at the door.

"Sorry Wendy, Where is the client?" Natsu responded.

"He left already, he said that he had another business meeting and that he needed to go. He took his daughter and gave the reward." Wendy responded.

Natsu wanted to see Jude's daughter but he will now need to wait for another time. He didn't like the attitude of Jude, putting business before her own daughter. It seem that he would need to keep an eye on her more than what he was first expecting to.

"I think we should spend the night here it's getting dark and I'm a little tired" Laxus said. To which Natsu agreed. Laxus got a room for himself and Natsu one for him and Wendy. Once they were given their keys they when up to their rooms. Natsu open his room and he and Wendy when inside. Wendy took a shower while Natsu order something for them to eat.

Laxus also took a shower once he got to his room, he then decided to go out and eat something. When he open of his room to get out the door he pass by Natsu's room and walk down the hallway. He pass a person that was pushing a car full of food. It was then when he sense something strange. It was the same smell and sensation he felt earlier on the mission. He turn around and found odd that a girl no older than 15 was pushing the cart. He decided to fallow her and see where she was going. The girl soon stopped in front on Natsu's room and knock. Moments later the door open and Natsu came out, the girl lunch at him and gave him a hug. When they broke apart Laxus was shock of what he saw next. He saw the girl kissing Natsu and to his surprise Natsu kissed her back. Once they broke up the girl wen inside his room. Laxus was shocked by what he saw, that girl had the scent of a dark guild on her, so why was Natsu kissing her and how did they get to know each other

Natsu closed the door behind him and fallow Ultear inside. He walk into the room and saw that Ultear was just standing there without moving. He got closed to see what was happening and he saw that Ultear was looking at Wendy and that Wendy was staring at Ultear.

"Who are you!?" Ultear and Wendy shouted in unison. Natsu could only laugh at the circumstance. He then walk behind Ultear and place a hand on her shoulder.

"Wendy this is Ultear" Natsu aid to Wendy

"Ultear this is Wendy" He said to Ultear.

Both girls just look at each other for a few seconds. Then Ultear took a few steps closer to Wendy

"Hi nice to meet you" Ultear said as she extended her hand to Wendy.

Wendy then took a step closer to Ultear and then she hug Ultear "Hello nice too meat you."

Ultear couldn't help but to smile and hug Wendy back. After they broke apart Ultear offered them dinner to witch Natsu and Wendy agreed. Wendy and Ultear got to know each other very well and they seem to get along pretty well.

"Ultear can I ask you a question" Wendy ask

Ultear look at her and answer "Yea sure"

"Are you related to Ur" both Natsu and Ultear were surprised by her question

"Why would you ask that" Ultear ask looking at Natsu for some explanation

"Well I notice that you have the same scent as her so I was just curious" Wendy answer

"Well I am not related to that woman in any way" Ultear answer in serious tone that sacred Wendy a little.

After that they spend the rest of their dinner in an awkward silence. After Dinner Wendy decided that it was time for her to sleep. She walk to their bed and climb into it. She then look at Ultear that was still at the table and saw that she still had a serious face on her.

"Hey Ultear" Wendy spoke and Ultear turn to look at her

"I'm sorry if I ask something that is none of my business" Wendy said in a tone that threaten to almost break into tears.

Ultear notice this and grew a soft smile on her lips. She then got up from the table and walk back to the bed. She sat at the edge and then gave Wendy a huge hug. "Don't worry Wendy I'm not mad just forget about it"

Wendy now had tears coming out of her eyes and hug Ultear back. After a couple of minutes Wendy fell as sleep. Ultear then placed her back on the bed and gave her a kiss on her forehead. She then walk to the balcony where Natsu was at.

"What were you doing earlier at the forest?" Natsu ask as he saw Ultear coming

"I told I was on a mission for Master Hades" Ultear answer

"What was the mission about?" Natsu ask

"Sorry Natsu but that is classified info, only members of our guild can know that… to bad you're not a member anymore" Ultear responded.

Natsu just stood quiet. He wanted to know why was Ultear there and if she that the Hartfilia girl was there, and if her target was the girl, but he also knew that he wouldn't get any answers from her. He decided to let it go for now.

"Well Natsu how is Fairy Tail treating you, you know that you could always camo back to us" Ultear said.

Natsu turn to look at her and smile. "I know that Ultear but I don't want to"

Ultear then turn serious and look straight at Natsu's eyes "You know what will happen to you and me if you stay at Fairy Tail" Ultear said

Natsu look at her and said "Do you trust me Ultear"

"What does that…?"

"Ultear just answer me, do you trust me?"

Ultear contemplated his face expression for a few moments before she answer

"Yes I do"

Natsu than smile and said "Well just trust me and don't worry about that ok" He then approach Ultear and hugged her. They stood there for a few minutes just enjoying each other company and looking at the night sky.

"I think that we should go to sleep, I'm tired and want to sleep" Natsu said

"Right, then I should probably go" Ultear said as she stared her way to the door

Natsu grab her by her arm "if you want to can stay with us for tonight" Natsu said

Ultear smile and accepted his offer. Both of the walk back inside and saw that Wendy was still as sleep. They decided to share the other bed. Both of them got in to bed together they look at each other and grab each other hand before they drifted off to sleep.

Outside their room there was some one that listened to their entire conversation. He was confused because he dint know how Natsu knew someone from dark guild and why was he friendly with her and most of all that he was a member of that dark guild. He decide to go back to sleep and confront Natsu later about the situation.

Later that night

Natsu's eyes flew open as he heard footsteps in the room, he could see clearly in the dark thanks to the moonlight coming in through the large glass balcony door. His eyes opened to see Ultear sleeping across from him, a peaceful look on her face. His ears picked up movement and he sniffed the air before raising an eyebrow before a large blanket was thrown over both Ultear and himself before Wendy maneuvered in-between the two wizards and laid down with a small smile not knowing that Natsu was awake. Ultear instinctively wrapped an arm around the young girl making Natsu smile as his body relaxed seeing there was no threat.

"Goodnight Ul. Goodnight Natsu." Wendy smiled as she snuggled deeper into the embrace of Ultear. Natsu watched the two for a time with a small smile, after a while he propped his head up on his arm to get more comfortable before catching Ultear looking up at him.

"How long has she been here?" Ultear questioned softly, the tiredness in her voice noticeable to the Dragon Slayer.

"Not long." Natsu stated both looking down at Wendy sleeping between them before he too when to sleep

The next day they when separated ways. Natsu and Wendy headed to the train station to catch the train with Laxus and Ultear when back to his guild. The ride back to Magnolia wasn't as bad as before thanks to Wendy. Laxus was thinking of a way to bring yesterday's events to Natsu's attention. He tough about it the whole way back to Magnolia and came up with a conclusion. He would not ask him anything it was not his business any way so way even care.

When they descended from the train they started their way back to the guild.

"Laxus" Natsu said as he stopped walking

Laxus turn to look at him making him stop walking as well.

"Laxus about what we talk before, Promise me that…" Natsu began

"Don't worry about it Natsu, I said I would and I will, I promise" Laxus responded.

At his response Natsu smile and began walking back to the guild, felling satisfied with Laxus response. Little did they knew that the promise just made will bring upon one of the greatest magical confrontation that Fiore has ever seen and will bring Fairy Tail to the brink of destruction.
