Natsu was flying through the city when he was attacked by Bloodman Grim Reaper. He was some sort of serial killer that was looking for a challenge. He had Natsu against the wall with a blade held near him.

"I was hoping for more of a challenge. How disappointing." Bloodman said.

"I'm not beaten yet!" Natsu said as he swung his leg under Bloodman's face. Natsu was able to get free and hit him right in the face. Natsu grabbed him by collar of his cloak and held him against the wall. "Let's see who you are under the mask." He felt around for the edge of Bloodman's mask, but he didn't feel a thing. "Where's the bottom of your mask?"

"Don't have one." Bloodman said as he hit Natsu across the face and pushed him off. Bloodman used his blade and tried to cut him, but Natsu jumped out of the way.

"How could you not be wearing a mask? What is that face?" Natsu said. "What happened? Plastic surgery gone wrong or something?"

"What happened was an accident." Bloodman said. "I worked at a chemical plant before, but I fell in a batch. It permanently damaged my skin into what you see now. Enough talk!" Bloodman went to attack him again. Natsu tried flying up, but Bloodman grabbed him by the leg and slammed him to the ground.

"This guy is crazy." Natsu said. He tried to get back up, but Bloodman grabbed him by the neck and held him down. He held out his blade and was going for the kill.

"Say your prayers." Bloodman said as he looked like he was going to kill him.

"My prayer is for him to stay alive." Someone else joined in the fight. Bloodman turned to where the voice came from and got kicked in the face. He released Natsu and saw that his savior was Seduce.

"Seduce? What are you even doing here?" Natsu asked.

"Talk later. If you want to pull out, now might be the best time." Seduce said. Natsu figured she was right. He also couldn't leave her with a sociopath like this guy clearly is. He grabbed a hold of Seduce and carried her with him as he flew in the air and made his escape. As they flew away, Bloodman saw them fly off and appeared interested.

"Perhaps he really is a challenge." Bloodman said. "Claiming his soul and staining his blood in my hands will be a real worthy reward."

...

Natsu

Natsu was able to escape from Bloodman thanks to Seduce. As he flew around with her in his arms, he looked around to see if he was able to give him the slip.

"Looks like he's gone." Natsu said. "Thanks for coming to help me out."

"No problem. You would have done the same for me." Seduce said. Natsu really was glad that she showed up when she did. He looked around and found a building they could land on. He flew down and placed her on the roof. "Aw. I was enjoying the ride."

"Thanks again for the help, but what were you doing there in the first place?" Natsu asked.

"I was just in the area." Seduce said. "I saw you were in trouble and just stepped in. I can't believe you were getting beaten around by the freak of all freaks."

"Hey, I've never even met that guy until now." Natsu said. "He was like some sort of hitman or mercenary. I'm willing to bet Tartaros hired him or something."

"Sounds like someone has it bad for you. I thought I was the only one." Seduce said. Natsu could tell she was just trying to flirt with him again. The thing is that now that it seems like he and Lucy aren't getting back together, maybe he should consider something with her. She's already made it clear that she would be interested in him. "Everything okay? You look like there's something bothering you."

"No. It's not quite that." Natsu said.

"No need to be prideful. Just admit you got your butt kicked. Even a mighty dragon is bound to meet their match." Seduce said.

"It's not that." Natsu said. "I'm just doing some thinking."

"About your girl?" Seduce said.

"Why do you care so much about the girl I keep talking about?" Natsu asked in a playful tone. "You wouldn't happen to be jealous, would you?"

"And what if I am?" Seduce said as she stood with her body pressed against him. "What would you do about it?"

"I might show you a thing or two." Natsu said. Both of them were bantering in a playful manner. Seduce was enjoying it, but she was also compassionate.

"Seriously? What's wrong? Problems in paradise?" Seduce asked.

"Something like that." Natsu said. "That girl came back after being away for so long. A part of me thought we could start where we left off, but she didn't want the same."

"That means you're a free agent?" Seduce said as she like the sound of that. "That sounds like it was rough. Maybe it's time you moved on from her."

"Yeah... Maybe you're right." Natsu said.

"Tell you what, why don't you and I go and get something to eat." Seduce said.

"Like where?" Natsu said. "Don't you think it might be a little weird seeing two people like us going into a local restaurant? I also don't think you can make a reservations this late."

"Do you just want to grab a pizza? I'm perfectly fine with that." Seduce said. Natsu didn't really see any harm in it. He had some fun times with Seduce before.

...

Later

Natsu was able to place an order for pizza. Once he was able to get a nice hot and steaming one, he and Seduce split it. She even grabbed them a couple beers for them. As they sat on a rooftop, they enjoyed the sight of the full moon with their meal.

"Pretty good. I usually have rooftop pizza by myself." Natsu said as he was enjoying his little dinner. "The beer was a nice tough too."

"Glad you like it." Seduce said as she had some of the beer. "I know how to please a man." Natsu actually was enjoying his time with Seduce.

"I'm actually surprised you agreed to pizza." Natsu said. "I figured girls would want something a little classier or something."

"As you can see, I'm not like most girls." Seduce said.

"I knew that from the moment we met. Who else goes around jumping from one building to the next dressed like a stripper." Natsu said. "How did you end up like this anyway?"

"That's my little secret." Seduce said. "I think a little mystery in a relationship can make things more fun and exciting."

"Who said we're in a relationship?" Natsu said.

"No one, but the night is young." Seduce said as she was implying things to go a little further tonight. "Besides, this is the life I wish to live. Who I was before doesn't really matter. Just like it doesn't matter to me who you really are under that mask."

"Seriously? You're not the least bit interested in who I am behind this mask?" Natsu said.

"I can see that you're not like ordinary man." Seduce said. She moved a little closer and moved reached for his mask. "Of course, I would like to see the face."

"Slow down." Natsu said as he moved her hand away. "I can't do that until I know I can really trust you."

"Come on. What good is me seeing your face if I don't know your name?" Seduce said. "I'm always going to call you Dragon-Man or just Dragon.

"Sorry, but we're not there yet." Natsu said as he took another bite of his slice.

"So be it." Seduce said as she grabbed his hand and moved the slice over to her. "I can think of other things I would want to do besides see your face." She took a bite herself and actually bit where Natsu bit. Natsu didn't know how she did it, or why he saw it like that, but she made it look sexy. "You know, it's getting late. Do you think you can give me a lift back to my place?"

"Your place?" Natsu said as his heart started to beat faster.

"Unless yours is closer." Seduce said.

"Uh... I don't know if that's really a good idea." Natsu said.

"Really?" Seduce said as she grabbed her beer and chugged some of it down. "If you shouldn't drink and drive, do you really think it's a good idea to drink and jump over buildings?"

"Uh... I guess not." Natsu said as it seemed like he really didn't have a choice. Once he discarded what was left of their dinner, he lifted her up. "You are going to show me where you live, right?"

"Yeah. Just start flying and I'll direct you." Seduce said. Natsu took to the air and carried her away. It was just how she wanted it.

...

Seduce's Place

Seduce was able to guide Natsu to her place. When she did, Natsu couldn't believe it. She actually lived in a great place. She actually lived in a penthouse. As Natsu went in through glass doors and stepped into her home, he still couldn't believe it.

"You actually live here?" Natsu said as he put her down.

"That bad?" Seduce asked.

"Bad?" Natsu said. He looked around her room and saw how nice it all looked. "My place is nothing compared to this." As Natsu looked around, he began to realize that Seduce probably had the money to own a place like this because she did somethings he probably wouldn't have agreed with. She probably swiped something valuable from bad guys for herself and such. As Seduce closed the glass doors, she had something else in mind. As Natsu turned around to talk to her about how she has this, she made the first move and tackled him on her bed. "What are you doing?"

"What do you think?" Seduce said as she straddled him. "You know why I wanted you here." She went down and kissed him. She wasn't going to wait around. Natsu wasn't even sure if he should stop her. They actually do have a connection, but he wasn't sure if he was ready for what she has planned. As Seduce pulled away, she reached for her jacket and let it dropped to the floor.

"Wait." Natsu said. "I'm not sure if... I don't really..." He wasn't really sure how to say this without feeling embarrassed.

"What? Are you saying you don't want to because you might still love your girl?" Seduce asked. Natsu wasn't going to say that, but it did sound like a good excuse for him to get out of this. "How do you know if that girl really is the one for you?"

"Huh?" Natsu said.

"How do you even know if that girl is for you? Shouldn't you at least try to be with some other girl?" Seduce said. "I might be the girl you should really be with." Natsu wasn't sure if she was only saying this so she could get to him, but he also the logic in that. It's just difficult when you were in love and still might be. "Trust me. I think I at least deserve a chance."

"Maybe, but that's not it." Natsu said. "The thing is that I'm... I'm actually a..."

"Inexperienced? A virgin?" Seduce said. Natsu was a little shocked she got it. "Not sure you're ready quite yet? I can work with and around that." She clearly wasn't letting him go that easily as she reached for her top and removed it. Natsu's eyes nearly jumped out of his head. She kissed him again and tried to find a way to slip her hands into his costume. Natsu did caused them to roll over to get her off him. He moved to the edge of the bed and took some breaths to try and get him to relax. As for Seduce, she held him from behind as she pressed herself against his back. She kissed him around the neck as she slid her hands around his chest. "It will all workout. Trust me." Natsu was dealing with feelings he wasn't exactly familiar with, but he actually did trust her. As he turned to her, he actually kissed her and pushed her against the bed. This will be a night he won't be forgetting.
