Chapter 12

A powerful light erupted and shone. When it was gone, so was zeref and natsu...

"NATSU!"yelled Erza and Gray dodging the rays of the light that struck down on them. They covered their eyes and to their horror, natsu was no longer there anymore. Lucy fell to the ground exhausted from casting the spell. She opened her eyes tiredly.

"Did we win?"

Such a simple question but all she got were sad glances from the people that had saw what happened. Except for the people who didn't know natsu of course of his school alias 'haru'.

"Yes, we won..."murmured Erza quietly. "We won..."

Natsu opened his eyes and found himself in a place that was really bright. He was sitting on a grass field of fresh green grass. The air was refreshing and there were light orbs flying around. Round light colored yellow orbs floating around everywhere. It was so comforting, the winds rustling the grass. A nearby stream's water splashing on the stone.

It was peaceful.

"Where are I..." he murmured. "I feel...so tired. I...want to...sleep." He lay down again stared up at the lazy sun. The clouds floated around tranquilly. He was so tired...he had to sleep. His eyelids slowly started dropping. Yes, no more. He wanted to rest.

"Is this your end Natsu Dragneel?"

Natsu eyes shot open and he quickly got up to locate the voice. Despite being tired, he wasn't an assassin for nothing. A top one too. "I'm here. Do I have to repeat myself? Is this your end?" Natsu turned around and was met with a cloaked figure. Natsu couldn't see his face.

"Who are you?"asked Natsu, his eyes narrowed.

"I am Aristillus."

"Impossible, that's the name of the spell."

"Oh? But anything's possible these days right? Zeref and Acnologia should have even been able to be revived and yet they were. Who says that my existence isn't possible too?"

"I see...I guess I'm in the seal. Hey, then what are you doing here?"

"I am actually the ruler of the realm. I run the spell and make sure the people sealed here stay here. Those lights you see up there, they are the soul lights of the people that were sealed here. Soon, you will become one of them too. Zeref and Acnologia has already joined them. That will be your end Natsu Dragneel."

"Okay then I guess," shrugged natsu. He had a foggy memory and he couldn't exactly remember a lot. But for some reason, joining the lights felt like the wrong choice.

"You are right. Joining the lights is the wrong choice for you at least. You were never meant to be sealed in here..."

"You can read my mind?"

"Of course. As I said before, you don't belong here. You need to get out. But to get out, you need to remember. Remember who are the people important to you. You have a minute to do this otherwise you will join the lights. Remember."

Remember? What could he remember? He didn't have a clue and he was running out of time fast. Damn it, he hated to think. Hm...all he remembered was a faint outline of a girl. She was smiling at him, her smile was so warm. Her hair, was the color of the sun. Blonde.

L-L-Lu? It ended with a y of course...but...who was she?

"You're running out of time..." muttered Aristillis.

"Um..." Natsu went even more deeper into thought. Who could make her laugh so much. She was really pretty but her smile was the best. Who..."LUCY!" yelled Natsu. All the memories came back to him. Erza, Gray, and all the people in the Fairy tail magic academy who were with him!

"Good job natsu. I look forward to you back in your world," smiled Aristillus. Natsu felt himself surrounded by the orbs of light. The light surrounded him and he disappeared.

"Wha-"whispered Lucy dropping to the floor in despair. Natsu was...gone? "W-why?" she said bowing her head down. "He could have started a new life here. I could have gotten him one!" she shrieked tears streaming out of her eyes.

The others like her friends looked away guilty. It was their fault. Sort of. Lucy couldn't do anything during the spell but they...

"I guess I disappear for a while and this happens," laughed a person. Their eyes all widened. Lucy got up and ran into the person hugging him.

"NATSU!"she shouted in delight. "You're alive..."

"Of course I am," he snorted."What kind of assassin would I be then?"

Lucy slapped natsu angrily. "Dude! I actually thought that you were dead. I show some sadness and this is how you react to my emotions. What a gentlemen you are! I want haru back."

"Awww Lucy, come on, you can stand me right?" smirked Natsu. Lucy pouted and looked away. Her face was blushing 10 shades of red.

"W-whatever. Just promise that you won't ever do that again!"

"Of course Luce! It's just as you say!"grinned Natsu. "Hey, by the way, when I was in the seal, the Ari person gave me this really good memory that I suppose that I could try..." Natsu looked around to make sure the other schools weren't around anymore and the only people around this area was Natsu and Lucy.

"Huh? Natsu? What are you-" Lucy was interrupted as lips into her own. She blushed hard as he let go. He looked at her seriously.

"Lucy, I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

Blunt...thought Lucy. But then, that was just natsu. Memories came back to her, all the fun times that she spent with Natsu. They even went to the amusement park once. She smiled.

"Of course Natsu. I will..." And they kissed again.

"Um...Am I interrupting something here?" asked Gray appearing out of nowhere. Natsu and Lucy broke apart and Natsu grinned at him.

"Nope Gray!" Gray rolled his eyes and continued.

"Anyways, master makarov wants to meet with you. You know...join the school and all..."

"Okay, you can go now Gray!"replied Natsu. Gray muttered 'rude' under his breath and left Lucy and Natsu there.

"So...you're joining our school?"she asked.

"Yup! I guess we can see each other more now!"

"Yes...we will," smiled Lucy.

7 years later, in a training place...

"Ha! You will never be good with guns Luce!" laughed natsu.

"Oh please, are you sure that you just suck too much!"huffed Lucy. Natsu winked.

"Want a demo?"

"Wait, what are you doing this time, remember-"

Natsu just smirked and grabbed a rifle.

He put his hand on the trigger...and shot.
