Chapter 12

Someone We have been looking for


Review from the last chapter's end

Here we go. Off on a new adventure. I thought to myself as we ran to stop the train, because it was just about to leave. Finally after chasing after it for maybe a couple minutes, we were able to get on.

I sat down in my seat, ready for it to go to the town that had the person who requested for the mission.


Chapter Beggining

Like normal, Natsu was having extreme carsickness. I felt bad for him, but because of it, I couldn't talk on the whole way there.

"We have arrived at Vilowhalk Valley. Please get off here, if this is your stop. Thank you for riding the train." That's odd. They must be starting a new thing. They didn't used to say that.

I looked over to see that Natsu, to my surprise, had actually fallen asleep. " How did you manage to do that?" I whispered so he couldn't hear. "Hey, Natsu. We've arrived at Vilowhalk Valley. It's time to get off."

As I said that I grabbed my stuff and he awoke, immediately returning to the carsick Natsu. "Why did the stop have to arrive so early? I was doing so much better than normal." He sluggishly grabbed his stuff and we exited the train.

Huh. The air smells odd. Wonder why. Probably just me being used to my hometowns fresh air. I looked over to see Natsu next to a barrel. "So. Natsu. You ok?" I walked over and patted his back.

"Yeah, just give me a second to recover. I ran over here just in case." I am SO glad I don't have carsickness.

It took him a little bit, but he finally recovered. "Where do we go next Natsu. You have the directions." I glanced over to see that he was already looking at the map.

"We must go this way. The house is surprisingly close to the train station." He pointed to the apartments on the left, which confused me.

"Wait. He is paying that much even though he lives in an apartment." I looked again to see that there was a mansion touring over the top of the apartment building. "Never mind. I see it already."

We started to walk towards the house, which was even closer than we expected. It took us only minutes to get there. "Here we are. The Mansion that we have been looking for." Natsu was looking so excited "Come on! Lets go in!"

He grabbed my arm wasting no time at all. Shesh. He is really excited about this.

"Hello? We are the people from Fairy Tail you requested. We would like to come in." I said it firmly and politely at the same time

There was no answer at first, but then the front gate opened up, expressing that we should enter. I gripped my bag tightly and entered in right after Natsu. This place is a little freaky.

Upon catching up to Natsu, he looked at me, ready to open the door. "You ready to go in?"

I only smiled and agreed. When we opened the door, a butler told us that he was the one that was guiding us to the place that we would talk. He led us to a couch and instructed us to sit down.

"So, when will the Person be here that requested us?" Natsu was being the way he normally is and didn't ask the question that was nice. Natsu, you can't say that.

I went to scold him, but a person with a suit and dark black hair, who I assumed was the 'master' of this place, sat down in the sofa in front of us. "It's fine. You don't have to get after him." I looked at him in surprise, but just listened.

"You are from Fairy Tail, an I correct?" We both noded. "Good. Then you must be Natsu and Lucy." We nodded yet again.

" We'll get straight to the point." He stopped for a second. "So listen carefully."

"Okay." I started with that. "We are listening carefully." I looked over to Natsu, who decided to take notes on everything we said. "Maybe a little too careful, Natsu."

He put the notebook away. Allowing him to start. "There is a beast called the great white Newt."

"The great White newt?" I never knew that the creature we were after, already had a Name.

He sighed as if annoyed from my commentary. "Yes, The Great White Newt. It has been attacking my businesses and some of the towns People. Every time we try to catch it though, our towns magic guild goes down in it's numbers as it kills them and slips away with them in their jaws." A monster who kills, to kill, and is attacking the people of this town. This is extraordinary.

I turned over to conversate when I saw he only had the notebook out again. Boy, is he stubborn without a Happy to influence. I gave him a deadly glare and he put the book away, yet again, but this time for good.

I turned back the person across from us and went to go ask him a question. "So where does this monster live?" He already said he would go straight to the point, so there was nothing wrong with what I said.

He gave me his answer in the fullest he could. "He is believed to dwell in some kind of mountain called Salamander's mountain. It was called that because it has so much salamanders in the streams, that in the summer, it would look like the water was dirty when it wasn't. It's near this town, and i you successfully give you this map to guide you."

I went to grab the map, but in doing that I brushed onto Natsu's hand and he grabbed it, but more timely than he was going for it at first. "Thank you" He said he took it out of his hands. His hands. They are so much softer then I remembered them.

It took me a second to grasp where I was, but I went back to the mission. "Okay, Natsu. So this is the map." I turned to the other guy in the room. "We should probably get going. It probably would be best."

I waved goodbye and we left. Even though I didn't notice till now. I wondered. I was really nervous sitting next to Natsu. I had stopped moving, because I was pondering the reason why because, surely, I did not like Natsu. Not more than a friend.

"Luce. You coming or what?" I looked to see that Natsu was holding out his hand towards me. It looks as if he is inviting me to hold his hand. Should I take the offer.

To see if it was true, I looked at his face. Yup. His face is a little red. Running over to him, I teased him for being so embarrassed about nothing, by rejecting it. Sure, I would have accepted it, but I wanted him to out worldly ask first.

Giggling, Natsu looked at me confused. "What?" We started to walk out the Gateway. "Why did you giggle? Did I do somthing wrong by trying to hold your hand?"

"Huh. Uh...no. You didn't do anything wrong. It's just your reaction was so funny, that I wanted to tease you a bit." I giggled and grabbed his hand. Wow. I actually told him the truth. I wonder what he will say.

I looked over towards him at the same time and we made eye contact. Thats funny. I put my hand on my chest. I felt like my heart was going fast there when we made eye contact.

"Oh. I guess that makes sense." He stopped as he noticed I had put my hand on my chest. Oh no. He noticed. "You ok. You look like you're in shock a little." His voice showed concern, and I really did love it, but didn't want to admit that.

"Well it's because you embarrassed me a little. That's all." I went to try to avoid the conversation. "Anyways, where do we go after this. I had noticed that we were at the tree the map had shown us to go to.

He stopped to look at the map. Good. He didn't ask anything. "The mountains right over there. It looks like a long way. We better get going." He pulled my hand, as I was busy observing the the tree to hear that we had to go. "Come on, Luce, lets go."

He tugged me one more time and it made me fall into him. "So-sorry." As he set me back up, I could feel my heart speeding up like a racehorse.

"It's fine." I looked at the mountain as we walked. It looks to be about a couple day walk, then we have to search for the cave too. This is going to be a long trip. I guess I should enjoy it.


One day passed and we had almost never talked. I didn't know what to do. It was getting a bit awkward to be with only him. What am I going to do. I began to think as I lay there on my sleeping bag. Natsu has barely talked to me. I was planning to have a lot of conversations with him. Like ask him things, that I wouldn't ask him when Happy is around, because Happy would take it the wrong way.

I grabbed out the pictures I had of everyone. Why is it so easy to talk to him when they are around. When I am alone with Natsu, my mind just goes blank. I pulled out the camera, remembering what I had promised to Happy, in my mind. More like what I promised to myself. Ok, Happy. Yet again I felt like he was here with me. It was as if he wanted to take a picture of Natsu sleeping secretly. Okay. I admit, that wasn't his idea, but I kind of wanted to.

Tip-Toeing over to Natsu, I had the camera in my hands, ready to take a picture. Aw. He is so cute. I love how he looks so innocent when he sleeps. I stopped and giggled. What am I saying, Natsu is so innocent at times anyway. I took a snapshot of him.

I leaned down closer to touch his hair, which for some odd reason, that I felt obligated to do. It's so soft. My mind went to something else then his soft hair. Well, it wouldn't hurt. I leaned down and kissed him on the cheek. "Good night, Natsu."

It was when I got up to go lay down on my own sleeping bag that Natsu stopped me with his hand grabbing my foot and his sleep talking. "Don't...go...Lucy. Please." He looks so sad all of a sudden. "Please." I heard him whisper one more time before he let go.

I felt bad for him, because of how I treated him sometimes. Even if most of it was unintentional. His face looked so upset and like it was about to cry now. "Okay." I whispered. "You win."

Natsu's sleeping bag was actually made for two, because he moves around so much in his sleep. I actually never noticed till Erza told me what he did on a previous trip with her and Gray. He was thrashing around like a maniac. When I told her I had never noticed, she was shocked. She said that it must of been because I comforted him that he didn't do that.

I slipped into the sleeping bag and snuggled up to him. He then wrapped his arms around me. What is he doing! "Thanks, Luce. Thank you for staying with...me." He went quiet and snuggled me more. Oh. He must be hugging me in his dream. I forgive him. Just this once. Since he made me just face something that I didn't want to believe.

I turned my head around just a little and kissed his cheek again. I may like you, Natsu. Just a little. I laughed as I felt Natsu's warm, comforting arms around me. I even turned my whole body around and snuggled up against his chest too. It's. So comforting . I thought that as I fell into a deep sleep.


The next morning I found myself waking up early and sneaking out of the sleeping bag. Good. That way Natsu won't know. I made him our breakfast that I had Sagittarius shoot for me. After we ate we packed up and left on our journey again.

"Truth or dare, Natsu." I had become bored and decided to play a little game.

"Hmmm… Dare!" Natsu looked at me and smiled brightly when he said that. This made lucy giggle.

He is such a goof. I wonder what I should dare him to do…Oh! I know! "I dare you to say that you love me and why you do!" I giggled with the thought of how he would react. Probably with a face that would make me laugh.

"Ok. I love you, Luce, and I love you because you are the perfect person for me to be with. And why would you ask me to do something so… meaningful?" He was still smiling and was looking her straight in the eye.

"Wha-" What in the world! Why did he say it so easily?! Could it be that he actually does love me! I thought about that for a second then remembered. No.

Even though I thought that, I still felt my face blush, making me want to turn away so he didn't see. "But It's good practice for you to confess to the girl you will love some day. Who knows who it will be. Maybe LIsanna?" I laughed a little.

"Really? People are still on that story with me and Lisanna. Sure, she is a wonderful friend to me, but I don't exactly love her. Even though I don't know what love feels like, I am pretty sure that I don't." I looked at him in awe, but after that we didn't speak at all until we arrived at the mountain. Here we go. I thought as we stepped onto the mountain.

I was behind Natsu, so I grabbed the camera out of my bag, and took a picture with Natsu, the Mountain, and I in it. This is getting fun. I put it back away as we pursue our mission onto the mountain.

"Better get looking, Natsu. Lets go." I grabbed Natsu's wrist and he ran along with me, until we came across a cave. "What...is this?" I tried to look inside, but it was too dark.

One thing I didn't know, though was that in just a second I would see something magnificent. It wouldn't be the The Great White Newt, though. It would somthing Natsu had been searching forever.

His Father: Igneel
