Chapter 3- Finding out more secrets.
Hope you all enjoy :)
...
The pink haired assassin strolled through the streets of Magnolia. Looking up at the blue sky above him, white and gray clouds forming. He finally reached his destination, Strawberry walked passed houses and reached the third house. There was a lake here with a bridge further down.
This third house was blue and pink. To be more specific, sky blue and salmon pink. Pink and blue do go together. It was a three story hpuse with windows from top to bottom, a cobblestone pathway leading to two double doors. Natsu walked up to the door to find it was locked.
"Of course it's locked." Natsu mentally facepalmed himself. He grabbed the golden key from his pocket and shoved it into the keyhole. He opened the door, it was a pretty nice house. But nobody was here.
"Looks like nobody's ho-" He was cut short when the long, sharp tip of a katana met his throat. He raised his hands up and dropped the key. In front of him was a woman with sky blue wavy hair and glasses. She wore a baggy shirt with short pants and was barefooted. Wait, Crystal?
(The glasses from sakura trick, the student council president)
"How did you find this house?" She asked coldly, her dark blue eyes had a red tinge in it as she glared at the pinkette.
"U-uh..." Was all he could say.
"How did you get in?"
Natsu stared at her. This looked nothing like the Crystal he first met.
"Crystal, right so um... Erza gave me a key and she told me that I'll be living here with you from now on." Natsu grinned. Crystal's eyes widened in shock, she removed the katana that was from his throat and placed next to the door. She took a deep breath in.
"So Erza said that, didn't she," the bluenette pinched to bridge of her nose and sighed. Pushing up her glasses.
"But... Since when you wear glasses? And has your hair always been like that? A-" She looked at him, making his babbling stop.
"Do you have a problem with how I look?" She asked, keeping her blank stare.
"N-no! Actually, you look cute in it." Natsu smiled. She blushed as she folded her arms over her chest.
"D-don't call me cute! B-baka!" She huffed like a little child, making Natsu chuckle a bit. She smiled at him.
"I guess I see no problem with you staying here. So sure, you can stay but-!" She turned to look at him, holding up her index finger.
"Don't break anything, don't make a mess and don't go through my stuff!" She sweatdropped when she saw him gone. The sound of something broke made her ears twitch. She looked left and right until she saw a broken vase on the floor, Natsu nervously smiled.
"Oops. Broke it." He nervously laughed.
"WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAY YOU IDIOT?!" She shouted, making him run to the kitchen. She ran after him and saw him reaching for the top cupboard filled with snacks. He pulled out a big bag of chipd and started eating.
"THAT'S MY GAMING FOOD!" She growled loudly at the pinkette, he went upstairs and standing on the top step, smirking triumphantly. She knew what that smirk meant as he bolted for it.
"NATSU DRAGNEEL!" She screamed as she ran up the stairs and slammed open her bedroom door. She caught the pink haired assassin in his tracks, watching him run through her underwear drawers. A bright red blush spread across his cheeks.
"Who the hell wears these lacy panties?" He pulled put a black and red lacy panty with two bows at the side.
"BAKA! Put it back!" She slapped him across the face, leaving a red hand print on his cheek.
"Alright, alright! Owwww!"
This was gonna be one hell of an evening for the two of them.
After their little game of cat and mouse, the two finally settled down as Crystal left Natsu alone in her bedroom, going to make something to eat for them both.
"I'll be back with the sandwiches!" She yelled as she went downstairs.
"I want mine extra hot!" He yelled back to her as he plopped down on her soft pink bed. He took a good look around the room, it was a big yet simple room. There was a dark oak wood desk with a chair. The table had piles of books and papers on it with pens and pencils. A big brown wardrobe and another door in the room leading to only God knows where. And finally her bed, her bed had light pink covers with the dame colour pillows. Her two twin Katanas that hung above a vanity that had hair supplies and a mirror of course, a nightstand with a lamp and tons of pictures hung up on the walls.
These pictures were her and members of the guild. Some with other people and one that captured Natsu's eye. He walked up to the picture that was hung on the wall. It was a black haired woman, a sky blue haired man, a black haired boy and a small sky blue haired girl.
"Is this her family?" He asked himself. He took a closer look and saw a diary sitting on the high stack of books. So she's a bookworm? More and more information keeps coming. He grabbed the diary and when he was about to open, a voice was heard softly behind him.
"Natsu, what are you doing?" He turned around and saw the sky blue haired young woman, standing in the doorframe with a plate of sandwiches in her hand. Natsu quickly hid the book behind his back and smiled at her.
"Oh nothing! Just was gonna read your diary!"
"Why the fuck did I say that?!" Natsu screamed in his mind. "I'm so screwed... Kami help me."
She placed the plate of sandwiches on the bed and smiled at him warmly.
"Well, you can go ahead and read it, but I doubt you'll find much information in that book." She waved to him and closed the door but was forced back open.
"Where are you going? Who exactly... are you? I can't seem to figure you out..."
Crystal giggled.
"I'm Crystal... A woman who dreams of becoming Fiore's greatest assassin. A woman who dreams she'll see her family once more, a woman... who wants the find the man who killed her family." Natsu looked at her in sympathy.
"Come on, baka. Don't give me that look. Haven't you heard? "When people realise, how lonely it is being on their own, they will become kind". And that's what exactly what happened to me all those years ago." She smiled sadly. Natsu looked at the young woman standing below him. Crystal looked up at him and left, without a second glance.
"I believe there's so much more to your past than that... And you bet that hell I'm gonna find out." He whispered in determination.
After Natsu finished eating. He walked downstairs with the plate. He noticed that a certain bluenette was infront the flat screen TV, controller in her hands and a bag of chips next to her. He carried the plate into the kitchen sink and went to watch her.
"Call of Duty, Black Ops 3?!" Natsu yelled in excitement. The bluenette nodded, stuffing another chip inside her mouth.
"Got another controller?"
~Some time later
"Chrissy watch out! Army of zombies!"
The bluenette sweatdropped as she shot all of them.
"There were only 3 Natsu..."
"Well fine! Let's see if I'm gonna save your ass again!" Natsu pouted playfully as she got up and took out the game and placed it back inside it's casing. She looked at the wall and stretched her limbs with a moan.
"Already 10:30? We've been playing that long?" She questioned the pinkette.
"The power of games consumed us into the realm of gaming! And zombies." Natsu grinned from ear to ear. Crystal rolled her eyes as she walked upstairs, signalling him to come and follow her. He followed quickly as she walked into the bedroom.
"I'm gonna go take a shower. You after me." Crystal opened the second door that was in her bedroom and walked in.
"Oh so it's a private bathroom. Neat." He mentally shrugged.
Natsu sat down on the bed, watching around the dark room. He walked towards the window and opened it, cold breeze coming through. Natsu looked up at the night sky, the moon was at full, the stars were shining brightly in the dark sky.
Kinda reminded him of Crystal's eyes. Her dark blue orbs that beamed with happiness whenever he saw her, but little did he know that there was something hiding deep underneath that smile.
He wondered if the others knew about her fake smiles...
Didn't Erza go through the same experience? But she's happy, why does Crystal have to fake her smiles then? He was told before he came here that she had the same past as Erza but much... worst?
What exactly happened-
The sound of a door creeking open and the lights coming on. The bluenette came out in a towel, her sky blue hair now wet and straight, cascading down her shoulders and unto her back. Natsu could clearly see that the towel was too small for her curvaceous body. Her breasts were spilling out from the top, her nipples clearly visible through the thin material of the towel. Her slender, creamy legs on full display.
"The bathroom's all yours pervert." She laughed softly. Natsu picked up the fresh towel that laid on the bed and headed towards the bathroom.
It was 11:00pm as Natsu came out the bathroom in his boxers and hair towel dried, steam surrounding him as he saw Crystal sleeping peacefully on her bed.
"Was I gone that long?"
He smiled softly at her dark red and black pajamas. It was a red top and black short pants. He hopped into bed and pulled the covers over them. He turned to the blue haired beauty and pulled a strand behind her ear and took off the lamp.
"Goodnight Chrissy." Was all that was heard after sleep consumed him.
~3:00am
The soft snores of the man next to her was all that was heard in rhe quiet room. She slowly sat up, trying not to wake the sleeping pink haired assassin. But, her plans failed.
"Crystal? What's wrong? Why are you up so early?" He asked, still half asleep.
"I felt cold, I was going to get another blanke-" A strong arm pulled her back on the bed. Natsu snaked his strong arms around her nicely shapped hips making her gasp, his leg over hers protectively. He nuzzled into the crook of her neck and smirked.
"Feeling warm now?" He inquired huskily into her ear.
She had to admit, he was pretty warm. She didn't feel cold at all, she felt warm in his arms and surprisingly, safe. She hasn't felt this way in such a long time, she forgot of it felt to be snuggled up next to someone.
"Creeeeeeeeeeeeek" the front door of her bedroom open making the both of them get up in alert.
"What the fuck what that..." She searched the room unable to see a thing without her glasses on.
"Show yourselves." She threatened to the person. She sighed as she put on her glasses and pushed them up. A red tinge in her eyes formed. She opened the drawers in the nightstand next to her bed and shot 4 perfectly lined knives at the wooden door, making whoever it was there, yelp.
"Who the hell keeps knives in their drawers?" Natsu watched the lady in confusion.
"A woman who doesn't want to be jumpscared in the middle in the night.. bunch of damn asses, Get out of the damn shadows Erza, Gray, Juvia and Wendy." She sighed. The four of them came out from behind the door, turning on the lights in the room.
Wendy Marvell. A young girl in the Assassination Guild known as Fairytail. She's about 15 years old and is flatchested amoung the girls in her age group. She's very timid and shy and works in the guild's imfirmary along with Porlyusica. She has long dark blue hair reaching her waist and dark blue eyes. She has a white cat named Carla.
Juvia Lockser. Juvia has sapphire blue wavy hair and blue eyes. She's obsessed with a guy named Gray Fullbuster and thinks everyone is her rival towards him. She's 23 years old. She's a cheerful girl who speaks in third person. She's 6 rank in her guild and is best friends with everyone.
"Gomenasi Crystal..." Wendy apologized as she saw the veim pop out of her forehead.
"What the hell is wrong with you people?! It's 3:00am in the morning! You better have a good explanation for this!" She growled at the four. Erza stepped forward and glared at her.
"We should be asking that. Why aren't you dressed yet?!" She yelled.
"Dressed for what?! It's 3 fucking a.m.!"
"Didn't you get my texts?! We're going to met Lucy and the others on Sakura Island you idiot! And we're supposed to be leaving in 10 minutes! So you both could get you lazy asses up and get dressed! Now!" She scoled them as if they were little children. Crystal and Natsu groaned.
"Juvia saw Crystal-chan and Natsu-san cuddling together! How adorable!" She cooed. Crystal puffed her cheeks with a blush as she jumped out of bed and headed towards the bathroom.
"That goes for you too Natsu." Erza glared at him as she pushed him into the bathroom along with Crystal.
"What are you doing in here?! Did Erza send you?! ERZA SCARLET!" The bluenette's voice boomed from the bathroom as Erza chuckled.
"Gray, I think we made the right decision for Natsu to be in our guild. She's so happy now.." Erza smiled to herself. Gray, Juvia and Wendy nodded.
"I think she's gonna need every bit of it for this mission..."
