Chapter 21...
"..."
"..tsu?"
"(groan)..
"..atsu?
"Uhhh..."
"Natsu, are you gonna wake up anytime soon?"
"Huh?" Natsu then opened his eye at the mention of his name. "..Wait...what the heck happened..?" He then was looking into Ultear's eyes as she was looking at him from above. He also noticed he was laying on her lap. "...Did I just...!?" He then slowly realized what had occurred. His face slowly was turning red, recalling how Ultear's lips...her soft and beautiful lips..
"You passed out so suddenly. I was worried y'know?" She said while making a pouting look.
"W..well that's cuz'..y-y-you just...suddenly..out of the blue, kissed me like that." He said, turning his head away from her in embarrassment.
"What? You mean you've never kissed before?" She said in astonishment.
"No..that was..my first." He said admittedly. Ultear then giggled in delight, thinking how she was the first one to take his lips. She had assumed that Mindy might have kissed him in all the time they spent together, but this was a surprise.
"Hmhmhmhm~! I see. Well I'm glad to have been your first...You know.." She then began rubbing her hand down his vest, as her hand tickled him making him tense all up. "I wouldn't mind taking your "other" first as well.~" She said seductively, closing the distance between them. Natsu then immediately grabbed her hand as it was heading for his pants.
"You-you can't be serious."
"Oh~? Want to find out?~" She said while her face closed in on him again, her breathing tickling his skin. His face was feeling all hot again. Was she about to kiss him again? He braced himself while closing his eye, mentally preparing himself...Although, the sensation of her mouth sucking his wasn't entirely that bad. The first time he was caught off guard, not knowing how to deal with it, seeing as how he never kissed before. But from what Grandeeny and Venigon told him, it symbolized the feelings humans conveyed toward one another...Wait a minute..
"U-Ultear?"
"Yes?" She asked, now merely inches away from his lips. She seemed to also have a slight blush, while the two gazed into each other's eyes.
"Do..you li-"
"Hoh? You look like your enjoying yourselves~." Natsu didn't get to finish asking Ultear, as he felt the dark presence of two Veeery pissed off female knights. One had the aura of a demonic black knight, and the other looked like the most terrifying rabbit that he had ever seen that would give even a dragon chills. The two glared daggers at him and Ultear, making him nervously sweat. He didn't feel this much killer intent from someone before...at least not from a woman. He was trying to quickly process what he did wrong and try to figure out why they were so mad at him. He just woke up on Ultear's lap, he didn't know what the hell he did wrong!
First he got kissed by Ultear, then he passed out, and now he...Wait, hold the phone! That must have been it! He had been told that women get angry when a man kisses a woman right in front of another woman. Bingo! Now he could get to the root of this!
"Uh, guys. If its about the kiss...I-I was totally caught off gau-"
"K..kiss?" Erza asked. They suddenly stopped emitting killer intent as Natsu sighed in relief. Looks like he might be able to work this out after al-
"A KISS, you say?" ...Aw fuck it, so much for that. The two were now glowing mad with magic. The ground around them was getting cracked while they slowly were readying their weapons.
"SHIIIIIIIIT! THEY DIDN'T KNOW!" Natsu panicked and immediately got up and began running for his life, while the two swordswomen gave chase, knocking anything or anyone unfortunate enough to not get the hell out of their way.
"Oh boy, better come back in one piece Natsu." Ultear said to herself, hoping that he wouldn't be too badly cut up by the time they were done with him. "Well, I guess all is fair in love and war. I just hope they don't kill him before he has a chance to talk...Ohhh Natsu, you make everything so fun~!" She then put her hand on her lips while smiling at the kiss they had shared. She then made a noise of surprise. She forgot they were in the middle of a date!
"Aw nuts, we didn't even get to have any fun. Ah well, I guess I can let them have him for now." She shrugged as she stood up and began walking.
"WHY ARE YOU RUNNING NATSU~?" Erza asked, while running him down with glowing red eyes. "I JUST WANT TO TALK TO YOU~."
"IF THAT'S ALL, THEN WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE YOU WANNA KILL ME!?" He shouted back.
"DON'T WORRY. I PROMISE YOU WON'T GET CUT TO RIBBONS, JUST STOP RUNNING SO WE CAN TALK TO YOU. " Kagura said while copying Erza.
"YOUR WORDS CLEARLY DON'T MATCH YOUR ACTIONS!" He shouted. "Crap! A dead end!" He ran till he came to a wall in the middle of an alley.
"You have got no where to run now." Erza said as they slowly came towards him.
"Hey I'm the victim here! Why the hell are so peeved?!"
"Because...your an idiot."
"HUH!? That doesn't even make any sense!" He said with a sweat drop.
"How long..?"
"How long?" He asked, confused.
"HOW LONG HAVE YOU ENGAGED IN ILLICIT ACTIVITIES WITH OUR MASTER!?" She shouted while blushing while Kagura turned to her in surprise and blushed.
"Illici-what the fuck are you going on about?!" Natsu's jaw hit the ground from her accusation.
"Don't play dumb! You were keeping it a secret ever since we all left, haven't you?!"
"No way! I haven't been in a relationship for as long as I've lived!"
"Then why did you..k-kiss her?" She slowly said. They finally calmed down.
"I didn't kiss her, she kissed me! And I was totally taken off guard!" The two sword mages then made noises of surprise.
"S..so she isn't..your not..in love..with her?" Kagura asked.
"Look, I'm going to say this as clearly as I possibly can..." He said as he took a deep breath.
"I have never been loved by a human being for as long as I can remember." He explained. He wanted to count Venigon, but he was a dragon. The two then looked at each other and then back at him with blank looks.
"So you've never dated before?" Kagura asked.
"Nope."
"And your not in a relationship with Ultear?" Erza asked.
"That's what I was trying to tell you two before you chased me to the other end of town."
"I see...I apologize, please hit me till your satisfied!" She said and immediately bowed.
"Me as well." Kagura bowed, copying Erza.
"Again with the hitting..." He said with a frustrated sigh. "Look, someone like me doesn't even deserve to have a girlfriend." He calmly said. Hearing this, the two young wizards quickly stood upright, confused and surprised from his answer.
"Why?"
"Please explain."
"Its...complicated." He turned away and grunted a little. "I can't tell these two about "that". I don't need them ALL worrying about me."
"Could it be..?" She then came to a sudden realization.
"Huh?"
"You..lack experience on how to treat one?"
"Uhhhh..Well, that is sorta true...But that's not it." Natsu thought. "Uhh...I guess..?" He decided to go with it. At least they wouldn't be asking anymore questions. Last thing he needed were these two riding his case about why he didn't have a girlfriend.
"I see." Erza said while putting her hand on her chin. She looked deep in thought. She then had an idea as she smiled. "Then how about I teach you?"
"...Say what?" Natsu had a funny feeling about this.
1 hour later...
"You know...I understand that you wanted to teach me...but this isn't quite what I had in mind." Natsu said, grunting a little. He was walking down the street arm in arm with Erza, with Kagura on his other side. He seemed to once again be the victim of envy, as the male population were glaring at him out of spite.
"That bastard! He has the nerve to go around with that scary, black haired beauty, now its a scarlet goddess and a pure looking maiden! I wanna kill him!"
"Die, pink haired punk!"
"What are you talking about Natsu? This is how a girlfriend is escorted by her boyfriend." Erza explained while smiling. Although in her mind she was following what she read in one of her romance novels. She honestly was not a expert on the topic, but she figured she could use the knowledge from one of the must popular, and most successful romance novels to act as a guide. She wasn't wearing her usual armored outfit, as her attire consisted of a skin tight black turtleneck, blue skirt, black stockings, and boots. She also wore her hair into a pony tail with a blue bow holding it in place.
"Really? I guess that's why Ultear was so clin-ack!" He felt his arm being twisted, seeing how the red head was annoyed at the mention of her guild master.
"You should also not talk about other "certain" women while on a date." She said with an annoyed expression.
"G-got it." She stopped and then went back to smiling. He seemed to get the message.
"So, what do we do first?"' He asked.
"Hmm..first we should go get something to eat. I spotted a cafe nearby, lets go there."
"Fine by me, i'm starving anyway." He said while hearing his stomach growl. Kagura was observing them while making mental notes. Never in her wildest dreams, did she think that she would be wanting to know more about the opposite sex. Before, she labeled all men as untrustworthy, perverted dogs who were only looking to exploit women. But Natsu was different. She made an exception for him. It first started out as her respecting him because of his strength, but over the course of time she had traveled with him, it was probably the most of the best time she ever spent around a guy, and not sending him to the hospital for being dumb enough to even look at, talk to, or touch her funny. No, he seemed more then that. So different, that for some reason, had sparked her interest.
Erza was't as reserved as Kagura though. True, she didn't hate men to the core, but she hated it when they tried to get close to her or Kagura only for the interest of trying to sleep with them. Thanks to a few incidents with a certain group of womanizing weirdos, she always kept her guard up at all times. But she didn't feel the need to keep her guard up around Natsu. She actually welcomed him, and could act herself a lot better around him, then with other men she's known. And ever since the conversation between her and the other girls about dating him, she wanted to try it with him...All for the purpose to help him have a better out look on the pleasures of life, of course. At least she told herself that, but little by little, it was starting to go from that, to her wanting him to look at her more. Oh, and beat Mira to the punch, especially.
They finally sat down outside near a restaurant. After a few moments, a blonde waiter came over with menus.
"Hello, my name is Lucy and I will be your waiter! Please order w...wait, what do I say next?" She then stopped in mid sentence, thinking she messed up her introduction.
"New on the job?" Natsu asked.
"S-sorry, I only work part time here and I just recently got hired. I-I'll go get you some drinks." She quickly said while walking off. Natsu then wasn't sure, but he could have swore that blonde was carrying what looked like a large key ring with weird silver and gold shaped keys, as they jingled while she hurried back into the restaurant.
"They must have a lot of things to keep locked up in there...Hmm. Ok, lets see what th-"
"WRONG!" Erza suddenly shouted startling him.
"Wh-what is it now?!"
"Your supposed to ask what I want before you order!" She corrected him.
"O..k, what would you like then, Erza?" She then began looking over the menu and came to a stop. "This looks alright."
"What is it?...THAT"S THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING ON THE MENU!" He protested after seeing the cost.
"Didn't you know? Your supposed to let her order the most expensive thing you find, and buy it for her." Erza explained, as if it was simple logic.
"Y..you got to be kidding...can't you at least be a bit flexible, considering this is my first time?"
"Onee-sama..I think you should go easy. He still hasn't got his money from Ultear back yet." Kagura reasoned. Erza then sighed in defeat.
"Alright, I guess I can overlook this. Order this then." She pointed to another item, while Natsu's head hit the table in defeat after seeing it.
"Aaand she picks the SECOND most expensive thing. I'm gonna be dirt poor at this rate."
"I'm back!" Lucy said while bringing them their drinks. "Have you decided what you want to order?"
"I'll have 2 Super Strawberry Parfaits."
"Two?!" Natsu asked in disbelief.
"One for me and Kagura, of course."
"Oh, you don't have to order me anything, Onee-sama." Kagura said kindly refusing.
"Oh don't worry, Natsu is paying. You should take advantage of your friends kindness every once in a while." She simply said, encouraging her. Natsu slowly sank in depression, making Kagura feel sorry for him. While she did have a lot of respect for Erza, she sometimes had a habit of letting someone else's kindness outweigh her consideration. Especially when it came to strawberries and sweets.
"So...am I getting two Super Parfaits?" Lucy asked again for confirmation.
"Yeah, two parfaits or whatever, just bring me the cheapest thing you got." He said while laying face down on the table. The waiter felt a bit sorry for this guy.
"Poor guy. He must have it rough."
Ohohohoho, you have no idea Lucy. She then left after taking the menus and went to go get their order ready.
"What's wrong Natsu?" Erza asked.
"Oh nothing...I'm just thinking how i'm too considerate for my own good." He said while sighing and sitting back up. While he didn't want to spill the beans on the reason for him not wanting a girlfriend, he also didn't want to use up all the money he had left.
"What do you mean? I think that part about you is nice. After all, you are getting to go on a practice date with two beautiful women."
"Tw..? You mean she's also part of the date?" He asked pointing to Kagura, which she nodded too. "I'm pretty sure that would be considered two timing."
"It's fine, this is a practice date anyway. So Kagura can also get some experience." She said while looking to her.
"...Sigh, just do what you want..." Natsu then looked around and then realized something. The scenery, the landscape, the outdoor restaurant. He then chuckled.
"Whats so funny?" Erza and Kagura wondered.
"This almost reminds me back in Gracia when I first met you two. Just like this, us, sitting at a table, talking. Of course, after they tried to take me out at the guild hall." He thought the last part, but it didn't bother him that much after he got to know them. Sure they were a little strict at first, but that changed after all they had been through. They even treated him after he got wounded, and they helped him out a lot when they were preparing for their journey.
"Hmph, true. This does kind of remind me of that time." Kagura said while smiling.
"I agree. This is almost similar, isn't it?" Erza said while smiling as well. They all were flashing back to their past events with each other. It almost seemed to bring them together after all they had been through. Fate worked in mysterious ways, they all thought.
"Here you all go! Two parfaits, and the dinner roll basket. I'll be back to collect your payment. Enjoy!" She happily said.
"Thank you Lucy." Natsu thanked the blonde. She then felt a sense of accomplishment, while she cheered in her head she was able to please a customer, and went back in the cafe.
The two then took their parfaits and began eating them, while Natsu looked at his roll and sighed and took a bite. It wasn't that bad actually, seeing how he quickly began eating it.
"By the way, where did you guys leave Mindy?" He asked. Now that he thought about it, she had left with them after going shopping, and only these two came back.
"Oh she's with Mira. She wanted to take Mindy around town and see the sights." Erza explained.
"Ahh, I see." Natsu nodded.
"Uh, Mira-san?" Wendy asked.
"Shh, they'll hear us if we talk too much!" Mira quickly hushed Wendy.
"Why are we following them?" Mindy asked. After going around town, they spotted Natsu with the two sword mages, looking like they were having a good time. Mira was curious at this, and decided to observe them, dragging Mindy and Wendy along with her.
"Come on, no matter how you look at it, the atmosphere around those three is too good!"
"I'm sure they are just having a normal lunch." Carla said while they watched them.
"Could they be.." Wendy began to say as Mindy and Mira turned to her. "..on a date?" This seemed to shock them both.
"N-N-N-Natsu!? O-o-on a date!?" Mindy thought in her mind. She never even considered that he and Erza or Kagura may have been seeing each other, but BOTH of them!? Her instincts as a "Older Sister" began to take over her mind. Natsu was at that age, and it wouldn't be strange if he started wanting to have a girlfriend. But he never even said a thing about it! He didn't even talk about love for as long as she had known him. Why didn't he? She told him if he ever needed help with anything to go to her about it. Did he think she couldn't tell him about relationships? Whatever the reason, she knew she had to make sure he didn't go down the wrong path in this situation "I must make sure he doesn't do anything he will regret! Don't worry Natsu, your Onee-chan is here for you!" She had fire burning in her eyes, which surprised Wendy.
"..I won't.." Mira began to say. "I WON'T LET THOSE TWO GET A ONE UP ON ME!" She declared, equally motivated.
"What are you talking about? You said you di-" Carla was ignored.
"Mindy!"
"Hai!" An alliance between the demon and lightning mage was formed, as Wendy and Carla sweat dropped at how fired up they suddenly were.
"Ah, that was good." Erza said in satisfactory.
"It was acceptable." Kagura said while patting her mouth with a napkin. Lucy had returned and the three stood up.
"This should cover it." Natsu said, handing her jewels.
"Thank you, come again!" She said while graciously taking the money. "I can't wait till I'm done with this gig. Then I can leave." She thought to herself.
"Alright, now what Erza?" Natsu asked.
"Well, after eating..we should go to some shops, and then after that..hm?" Erza could have sworn she saw silver hair coming out from behind a building, while she was glancing over her shoulder. "Was that Mira?"
"Something wrong?" Natsu asked, looking behind them, but he didn't see anything suspicious. "No, i'm probably imagining things." She said while taking one more look back just to be sure. "Well lets go." She said, taking his arm and walking down the street with him.
Kagura was looking at them from behind and frowning. For some reason she felt a little..conflicted, as she would call it, that Erza was holding his arm so casually, and she wasn't. She then began thinking if their positions were reversed..would it feel nice to be by his side like that? She then flashed back to when he stayed by her side when she had that bad dream. She never felt more comforted. Even that one time in the morning when she was waking up next to him, it was a surprise, but at the same time made her heart throb slightly. As they walked on she felt a nagging feeling in her that was making her slowly, unnoticeable to everyone else, reaching toward his other arm slowly. She was getting that familiar feeling again as her hand inched closer to him.
"Ah here we are." Erza then turned with him making Kagura miss his arm and making her only grab air, as she silently gasped. She then felt her heart stop for a few moments, as her eyes widened. She felt like a pit was swelling in her stomach, thinking she missed her chance to copy Erza. Her hair foreshadowed her eyes as she stayed silent. "What was I doing?...My body just reacted..this feeling in my chest...it hurts." She thought, putting her hand over her heart.
"Hey Kagura, you coming?" Erza asked.
"...Hai..Onee-sama." She said while continuing to look down.
"Then lets go. I'll show you what to buy." Erza said as she turned to Natsu.
"Something tells me its going to be expensive." He said in a irritated tone.
"Oh don't worry. It's all for your sake so you have a happy relationship." She said, assuring him.
"Sounds like a great way to get broke." He thought. The three entered the store, while the other three behind them were following them in secret.
"..So you have done this before?" Natsu asked Erza while they walked in.
"Shopping? Of course."
"No, I meant dating."
"Well..I guess you could say that." Erza said, recalling a certain memory. "Why do you ask?"
"Just curious is all." He said while shrugging it off.
"If you can call that time a date." Erza thought. She shook her head trying to forget, and decided to focus on this "date". "Alright, now lets see..." She looked around the store for the ideal gift between lovers.
"I'll be right back. Stay here, i'm going to ask the receptionist for something." She said. She left his side to go to the counter.
"Man, this is quite a turn of events." He said. "Is she always like thi-..huh?" He was talking to himself, thinking Kagura was right beside him and looked around. He then saw her looking at a small rack with assortments of cheap looking jewelry. She seemed to be looking at a necklace with a dark purple bead shaped like a raindrop. She fingered it, strangely drawn to it. It wasn't anything special. Just a small, cheap glass melted into the shape of a rain drop, and hung by black string. It didn't really stand out compared to all the other things on display. She was thinking about what Erza said about the ideal gift, and sighed.
"I guess I have no taste for these sort of things after all." She thought, and put it back in front of the rest of the items. She often let her guild mates choose for her, thinking her idea of style was a bit too ordinary. And she always focused on training herself most of the time. But she took one last good look at it. It reminded her of the homemade jewelry she made with her brother Simon. It may have looked ordinary, but it was special because the person who made it put their feelings and hard work into it. At least that's what Simon told her. She smiled and giggled a bit at the thought. "How childish of me, Simon. I guess some habits don't die."
"Huh. Not a bad choice." Natsu said behind her, which startled her as she whipped around and was facing him while he was nodding.
"Uh, this.." She tried to say something, but she was still thinking about it.
"So you like this kind of stuff?" He asked curiously.
"Well it..kinda reminds me of my childhood I guess." She said while looking back at it again.
"Hm." He took it and looked at it for a minute. "Hold still."
"Huh? W-wh-what are you..?" She was taken off guard, when Natsu put his arms around her neck and began trying to put the necklace on her while he fiddled with the little lock at each end. She was literally right in his face, staring into his onyx green eye. He was preoccupied trying to put it on, as he was oblivious to her reaction. Her face was heating up and she prayed he didn't see the blush that was forming on her face. He was so close to her, she thought maybe he was going to kiss her. After a few moments, he finally managed to hook it on, and slowly backed away and straightened it, letting the bead lay on her chest. He then backed away and put his hand on his chin, looking like he was in thought. He then smiled.
"Yep, looks nice on ya'." She then blushed.
"R-really?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't it?" She then turned around, putting her hand on the purple fake jewel, her heart was going at a faster pace then she was used too. But..she felt happy. Last time she let a man get that close to her was when she immediately knocked the living day lights out of him. It made her very conscious about her personal space, but when Natsu had invaded it, she didn't hit him, or try to get away. She only stood there, locking gazes with him.
"I-if you like it that much. I-I'll buy it." She said shyly all of a sudden.
"That's alright. I'll get it for you." He said. She turned to him with a surprised look.
"Y-you don't-" He then took it off her, still maintaining his smile.
"Hey, your on this little practice date to, right? In that case, if you want it, I'll get it for you." He then went over to the counter and began paying. She had forgotten. That's right. This wasn't a real date. But if she ever went on one, she wouldn't mind Natsu being the one who took her. She then blushed at the thought of it. He then came back with a little paper bag, handing it to her.
"Hope you like it!" He flashed his grin at her. She smiled and nodded, looking back at him.
"Mm, I promise I'll treasure it. You have my thanks." She didn't feel depressed anymore. Natsu may have been a little dense, but he always tried to make his friends happy when he could. That's what she thought. Perhaps after this whole thing with Zancrow was over...perhaps..just maybe her and Natsu could..
"Natsu!"
"Hm?" His attention then shifted to Erza's voice. He walked towards it, wondering what she was calling for. Kagura then felt a bit more conflicted. Why was it every time Erza called to him, she always felt this way? They had always shared everything. They even lived in the same room together and had late night readings, and they discussed their latest activities. Hell, they even slept with each other whenever they were having trouble sleeping. They were the very definition of close...So why did she feel this way!? It frustrated her. She had such great respect for Erza, that even if it inconvenienced her, she would go along with it. She would even go so far as to die for her. But this thing with Natsu was different. It poked at her insides uncomfortably, and always made her feel envy toward her. Perhaps..she didn't like the thought of sharing Natsu. Perhaps she felt...
"Jealous?" Yes, that had to be it...Wait, who said that? She turned her head and was surprised to see her guild master right behind her.
"Ultear!?" She leaned away from her out of surprise as the black haired woman crossed her arms and had a smile on her face. "What are you doing here?" She asked recomposing herself.
"I just came to make sure you and Erza didn't slice Natsu up into tiny pieces. It wasn't his fault.." She began to explain, but Kagura stopped her.
"That much I know." She said narrowing her eyes at her with annoyance.
"Hey, we all agreed that whoever spent the most time with him could date him. So that's what I was doing. Spending time with him~." She said playfully. Kagura was now starting to lose patience with her as a tick mark formed on her head.
"Did you come here to gloat?"
"Hmhmhm, no. Actually, I was watching you guys ever since you left. You looked a bit troubled on the way in here. Must have been frustrating, having Erza not letting you hold Natsu's arm." She sympathized with a pout. Which made Kagura blush.
"Y-you saw that?" She nodded, making the sword mage lose her composure and droop in depression.
"You know Kagura.." She began to say in a more normal voice. "You can't always let Erza go first in everything. You need to learn to say no to her when you want to say it."
"I don't know what your talking about." She said turning away from her.
"Kagura..you know I care about the bond you and Erza share, and you know I would never do anything to make you go against each other. But you can't just keep all the things you want bottled up forever." She was more serious now as Kagura listened. "Your allowed to fight for the things you want, even if it means going against her. If you just sit back and watch, you're just hurting yourself more."
"..I.." Kagura began to say. "..Didn't want her...to hate me." She said with a depressed look. "She looks..happy..ever since we met Natsu. I never was able to make her smile that much before." She said while they looked over toward Natsu and Erza, who looked like he was smiling and she was giggling at the weird toy they found. "I'm happy that he's making her happy...but at the same time..." She was slowly crumpling the little paper bag in her hand. "It makes my chest hurt...and I feel a empty pit in the bottom of my stomach. I just...wanted him to act that way toward me. I know I can't be like Erza but.." She then felt Ultear stop her from crumpling the little paper bag she had and unraveled it and pulled out the necklace.
"You right, you can't be Erza." She said as she brought her chin up. "But you can be you. You and Erza have similarities, but your not the same. That's what makes you feel different." She said while putting the necklace on her. "You just found something that you and her can't really share."
"What?" She asked, wanting to know. Ultear then giggled then got behind her and faced her head towards Natsu.
"The answer is right in front of you." Kagura came to a sudden realization, while she stared intently at the pinkette. Ultear then wrapped her arms around her and propped her chin on her shoulder as they both stared.
"Of course, I'm also looking for a chance to swoop in. So you better step it up a little." Kagura then scoffed.
"I've never lost to you in combat, poker, or cooking. What makes you think this will be any different?" She said with a hint of sarcasm. Ultear then smiled wider, amused.
"That's the spirit."
"Ultear?"
"Yes?"
"...Thank you."
"Hmhmhm, whenever you need me." They saw Erza and Natsu approaching. Natsu then saw Ultear and made a troubled look.
"I always get a disturbing vibe whenever I see you."
"I have that affect on people." She said as she came over and grabbed his arm. "Now lets go! It's getting late! And I could use some beauty sleep. Your welcomed to join as well~" She said while pressing his arm in her bountiful chest.
"Oi Ultear. Stop making a scene." Kagura said, while taking his other arm and began yanking on him. Ultear wasn't however going to give him up with out a fight, as she held on to him tighter.
"What do you mean? I'm just keeping him company is all~!"
"Just let go!"
"Sure, just as soon as you let go."
"G-guys..I can feel your.." They seemed to have ignored Natsu, because he was blushing up a storm from the heavenly sensation he felt on his arms, while they were becoming buried deeper, and deeper in their dirty pillows. The sensation from both arms was being balanced. He thought their breast sizes had to be equal at least.
"You had him all day, now its my turn!"
"He carried you all the way here! I get to spend more time with him!"
Oh brother, the (mis)fortunate situations he goes through. If Venigon was watching over him, he'd be laughing his scaly ass off.
"I wanna go to bed." He sighed. A nearby onlooker noticed the shenanigans going on. It was the waitress from the restaurant. She saw Ultear, and her eyes widened.
"Hey, your Ultear Milkovich!" Ultear and everyone stopped and looked towards the blonde. Natsu was the first to break the silence.
"..Aren't you that...?"
OK! Now that I got that written down, I am satisfied!
For all the Nalu people reading this, HERE'S LUCY, YA' HAPPY NOW!? Naw, i'm just playing! I was just trying to figure out when to introduce her. Had to think about how her role would be used in this fic. And now that that lucky basta- I mean, Natsu is starting to get attention, its time to get the ball rolling on romance! I am confident that the characters have had enough development to begin making their moves on that bast- I mean, Natsu.
Also, as I have repeatedly told some of you, i'm still not sure I will put a lemon in this. I do not really have an interest of writing 2000 plus words on Natsu having sex. Although it hasn't been ruled out. And as for my spelling errors, I really appreciate you pointing them out, but could you PM me instead? I want to hear what people think of the story, and it gets a bit tiresome when they're always saying I spelled something wrong, or used a word incorrectly.
Not to sound like a dick or anything. I am glad you pointed them out. It kept me from making the same mistake for every chapter.
AND FINALLY...
The last two members for Natsu's harem arrrrrreeee...Yukino and Lisanna! It was a close battle! I thought it was gonna be Juvia and Flare, or Cana and Chelia. Well, if those two are gonna be in this, expect to see their big sisters as well!
But lets not forget. Knightwalker has yet to descend on Natsu. Oh boy am I gonna have a field day with that, BAWHAHAHA!...ehm. Anyway, I think you all know who the main girls are for this story. Ultear, Erza and Kagura. Expect these three to get the most attention in this story. Of course all other harem members will get their time.
So thank you all, and I'll see you all next time on, The Flames of Destiny!
Laters!
