Her Champion

Author`s note: Yo what`s up boys and girls. I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is I am still alive.

Yeeey...

The bad news is I don`t have a laptop at work anymore. Which means I am having a really hard time uploading new chapters. It`s not the matter that I am lazy now as much as it is that I am tired of everything that has been going this entire month.

However, I want you all to know that I did not give up on this story and that I will finish it no matter how long it takes me.

Because I love Natsu x Erza fanfics and I want to give you guys something new to read.

Even tho Its really poorly written.

But I still hope you guys are not mad at me and I hope you enjoy this one.

Btw I do not own anything from fairy tail other than some OC`s.

Chapter 9

Natsu fell back onto his bed and closed his eyes in satisfaction. Although he was disappointed that his opponent was so unskilled and weak, he is still happy with the outcome of the fight. Pride filled his chest as the crowd kept on cheering his name even after he disappeared behind the doors. He could tell they were impressed all of them.

The crowd.

The king.

The prince.

Princesses.

He was glad about that. Even if it was only 40% of his power, he still managed to leave the crowd speechless. A chuckle escaped his lips at some of the faces he remembers they made. But for some reason, he felt most proud of the fact that Erza was smiling and genuinely looking happy that he won.

Speaking of the devil. His nose picks up a familiar scent of the scarlet warrior and the sound of her metal boots against a stone floor was heard coming towards him. He expected her to come and lecture his ears off with all the errors she thought he made throughout the fight.

But was surprised when he saw her carrying a platter of food in one hand. She used the other hand to open the door to his cage and walked in before locking it behind her. She had a satisfied smile on her face as she set the platter down on the table. She summoned a fork, knife and a spoon for him and set down on one of the chairs. He raised an eyebrow at her before slowly walking towards the chair across from her and sitting down.

"What`s this princess?" He asked while looking down at the food.

There were various items on the platter. From different types of meat like pork, chicken, and turkey. To various fruits and vegetables as well as some rice and smashed potatoes.

"Your meal Natsu." She said while crossing her legs and arms "You earned it with your performance out there. I can tell that the king and his kingdom were all impressed with you. They will be looking forward to your next match."

He looked between the food and her before narrowing his eyes at her "How can I be sure that this food isn`t poisoned?"

A thick mark appeared on Erza`s head at Natsu`s stupidity "Do you really think I would poison you after what you did out there? You are truly an idiot."

He sent her a narrowed look before picking a piece of pork in his hand and put it in his mouth. Once he felt no negative effects coming from his body, he began to devour everything on the platter. All while Erza was watching him with wide eyes as he ate.

To put it simply. It disgusted her.

He was eating like a wild animal. Not caring about manners nor caring about using any silverware. He just kept shoving food in his face. She was about to yell at him for such animalistic behavior.

"Hey princess" but stopped when he stopped eating and called out to her "Thank you for the food. Looks like you are not as bad as I thought" he said with a smile on his face.

Erza`s eyes widen at that in surprise. She did not expect him to thank her for something so small as food but it brought that unfamiliar warmth in her chest that made her hand rise to touch the spot it was coming from. Although she did not understand what it was that was making her feel this way, it was welcoming none the less.

She smiles at him again before saying "There is no need to thank me Natsu. You earned this so enjoy"

She will save the yelling for another time. After about 5 minutes the platter was empty with only pieces of food crumbs left on it. Erza in all her time as a warrior and princess has never seen someone clean that much food in under 10 minutes. Just what the hell was he eating when he was a child.

"More please," Natsu said while holding the platter out for her to take.

This woke Erza up from her thoughts as she blinked at him, thinking she did not hear it right.

"I am sorry. What?" She asked Natsu

"One more please."

...

"WHAAAAAAAAAAA?" Erza comically fell from her chair but quickly stood up "WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONE MORE!? You just ate a platter of food worth for four people to eat! How the hell can you eat more?" she yelled at him in shock and disbelief

"Hey I did not have a decent meal in five days, so sorry if I`m asking too much" He replied with a shout out

"Well, how much do you usually eat?" She asked curiously

"About six times this bigger than this one" He answers simply

...

...

...

Erza was speechless. She looks at the platter in his hands then looks at him before imagining four platters with two times more food then this one. Natsu eating it all and becoming fat. In all honesty, if what he says is true then he should have been fat a long time ago. But looking at his body, Erza can`t believe that what he is saying is true.

"You are lying." She accuses Natsu

"WHAT!? No why would I lie" Natsu said while shaking his hand around

"There is no way that you can eat that much without getting some extra weight. It`s just not possible." Erza says while shaking her head

"Well as you can see it is possible," Natsu says while closing his eyes and smirking

They stood there in silence Erza just looking at him and Natsu smirking back at her.

"Where does it all go?"

"Into these bad boys," He said while flexing his arms, showing off his well-defined biceps.

Erza stared at his arms with a dazed look. She felt something wet run down from the right side of her lips and down her chin but was too focused on her task to care about it.

"Ehh... Princess. You`re drooling" She broke out of her thoughts with crimson blush spreading on her face. She quickly looked away not wanting Natsu to see her face.

"So can I have another one or no?" He asked hopefully

Erza sighs before taking the platter and walking towards the door. She unlocked it and walked out before locking it again.

"I will get you another one later. Now I have to go prepare myself for my meeting with the prince." She tells him which made him raise an eyebrow.

"You have a meeting with him already?" Natsu asked

"It seems that he meets all the princesses that win the first rounds of the tournament. I expect him to do this with the others as well." Erza says while turning her head to look at him "It will most likely be him asking questions about me and me answering. What a drag this will be." Erza says while rolling her eyes. Clearly want to do anything else but meet with a prince.

"Aww. Don`t be like that. That is your future husband your talking about." Natsu said teasingly with a smirk on his face.

Erza instantly grabbed the bars of his cage and said to him in treating voice "He will be no such thing. YOU HEAR!"

"Yeah yeah whatever," He said as he laid back on his bed again

Erza wanted to say more to Natsu but give up when the possibility of being late entered her mind. She gave him one last look before heading down the hallway away from her champions cell. When he was sure she left, Natsu tried to activate his flames but found out he couldn`t once again.

"Thc... She sealed off my magic again." He said while looking at his hand.

A few minutes later he heard the main doors of the dungeons open and the sound of boots hitting the floor echoing throughout the hallway. He sniffed the air and found out that it contains a strange but pleasant aroma of blueberries. The sound continued to get closer and closer until it did not stop in front of his cell. His eyes shifted to the bars that hold him inside and his eyes narrowed in confusion at what he saw.

Standing there was Erza but she looked... different. She wore halter – type armor breastplate top, with light armored gauntlets and graves on her forearms and forelegs, as well as her thighs, as well as a hoodless and sleeveless coat around her. Not to mention she does not smell like she usually doses.

Something was not right here.

They stared at each other for a few minutes. With Natsu looking at her with a confused look and her smiling at him.

"Umm... Who are you?" He asks the woman surprising her.

"Oh. You can tell I am not your master?" She asks in a calm voice

"My "master" wouldn`t walk around in something as revealing like that. Nor would she suddenly start smelling like blueberries."

The woman looked even more surprised but quickly smiled once more while rising a hand to her chin "You are really interesting one indeed Natsu Dragneel. I am curious"

He did not know why but something about this woman did not sit right with him. Unlike the one who has him on the leash, he does not sense any kind of danger coming from this woman if anything she gives off a very calm vibe. Almos as if looking at the river.

She then lightly grabs one of the bars and leans on it before asking "Would you mind if I... entertain you? Just for a little bit." She asks this time giving Natsu a smile that sent shivers down his spine.

Although he did not know what to think of this woman suddenly appearing in front of his cell. He could use something to kill his time while waiting for Erza to come back.

"Sure. Can you tell me what I can call you?" He asks while sitting with his legs crossed in the lotus position.

She chuckles at his casual behaver before doing a ladylike bow "My people and others call me Knightwalker..."

"But you Natsu... You may call me Erza" Her smiles slightly widens at the end.

"Oh... That could be confusing if two Erza`s end up in the same room"

Author`s note: Sorry for a short chapter. I tried to find more ways to make it longer but I couldn`t think of any.

I hope you still enjoyed.
