Natsu's obvious discomfort is left unattended for weeks, and when he finally collapses, everyone still present quickly finds a name for his suffering, Kuro Oni. When he disappears while our much loved team is out to relax, he doesn't come back. Not for a long while, and when he does.. something's changed. Something big. Don't own Fairy Tail. Takes place after 7 year lapse.

But accidents do happen, and sometimes they have a bigger impact than anyone could possibly imagine.
