Chapter 27: NatsuXMira

**two days after parade**

Natsu just finished his morning training and his bath in lake in forest. He looked at his reflection and frowned. He was working on his human form for almost a month and he still couldn't get rid off those stupid horns. He sighed and then thought 'Well it's not that bad I guess' He then used his 'Chaotic void' spell and left to Magnolia. Even though he was little frustrated because of his horns he was actually in quite good mode. He appeared in front guild hall and remembered the night after parade finished.

**flashback**

Parade just ended and it was really late but everyone was still full of energy. When they get to guild hall they asked him tons of question.

"Why do you still have horns?"

"What are you now?"

"Where have you been?"

"Did you find any other dragon?"

"How strong are you now?"

"Are you MANlier then before? I bet you are a real MAN now!" guess who said that.

They went on and on like that for few more minutes before Natsu got annoyed and believe me, annoyed dragon isn't nice dragon. He start to let out some of his demonic aura and shouted "Shut up!"

Everyone shut up in instant and then Natsu sighed. He glared at everyone and they all gulped. He then scratched back of his head and said "God, you're annoying..." He tched.

Makarov was first to speak as he walk to Natsu and asked one question that everyone wanted to know "Are you going to be okay?"

Natsu smiled at small man shocking others and then said "Yes, I'm okay and I'm going to be okay. You don't have to be so worried about me. I'm dragon, you know"

Gajeel then walk to him and said not looking Natsu in eyes like he was embarrassed about what he was about to say "First of... Thank you" This got everyone off guard. Gajeel never thanked someone. That wasn't right. Natsu raised eyebrow and asked "What for?"

"For helping me and Gray beat Laxus" Gajeel said with annoyance in his voice because he needed to explain himself. Natsu smirked 'More like saving your buts' He thought to himself.

"And second... Are you now dragon slayer or dragon?" Gajeel asked and once again everybody looked at Natsu wanting to know answer.

"Dragon" Natsu said with his famous emotionless face. Even though his face was emotionless in his eyes shined amusement as he watch everyone gaped. Makarov coughed in his hand and then said "Well I guess It shouldn't be so surprising since you already told us that"

That get everyone out of their shock and they all smiled and someone shouted "Hey guys! I just realized! We are the only guild that have dragon as member!" It was fallowed by some shouting in approval and happiness and some started yelling "That soooo cool!" or "How awesome! We have four super strong S-class and one of them is dragon!"

Natsu smirked. Master grinned at his children and shouted "We have today two things to celebrate; successful parade and BEING THE NUMBER ONE GUILD IN FIORE WITH AWESOME DRAGON!"

Everyone cheered. Master's grin grew bigger if that was even possible "So let me hear you: WHO ARE WE?"

Everyone shouted in union while Natsu just watched them with amusement "WE'RE FAIRY TAIL!"

"AND WHAT DO WE DO WHEN WE'RE HAPPY?" master asked.

This time they roared even louder and Natsu had to cover his ears "WE PARTY!"

"THEN LET'S PARTY!"

Natsu smiled and went to bar while almost everyone else got into barval. He ordered whiskey and watched with smile as others fight among each other.

**end of flashback**

Natsu remembered that he spent that whole night talking with Erza, Lucy, Wendy, Gray (Who sometimes start fighting again), Gajeel (Who was almost all the time reason why Gray started fighting), cats and Mira.

Thinking about Mira... He could ask her to go on job with him since she started using her magic again. He would definitely love to go on job with her and Wendy... or just with her. He stepped inside of guild and those who notice him said their's hellos or just nodded their heads. Natsu went to bar and noticed something strange. There wasn't Lucy's constant complaining about her rent or Erza bossing around. He also noted that Wendy didn't went to him to say hi like she usually does. Taking better look around Wendy wasn't even here nor were cats. Gray wasn't in guild either.

Mira must noticed that Natsu was looking around the guild so she came to him and said "If you're looking for team Erza or Wendy they went on job"

Natsu looked at her and then nodded. He the remembered his earlier thoughts so he asked "Hey Mira... How about you and me go on job together"

Mira almost let go empty plate she was holding. 'Natsu never invited someone on job except Wendy, Should I consider this a date" She then started blushing at her on thought 'Stupid Mira! This's not a date... But I'll like to go on one with him... No.. I'll wait before he ask me to go on one' She started blushing even harder. Her train of thoughts were interrupted when Natsu said "Are you okay?"

She looked at him confused and then remembered she didn't answer his question so she think about it and frowned "Sorry Natsu, I would love to but I need to stay here for bar"

She felt pretty bad when she saw slight sadness in his dragon-like eyes.

He look at floor for few moments like he was thinking and then he asked "Then how about we just go on dinner tonight when you're over with your job?"

'This is invitation for date! Right? Yes it has to be..' She then look at Natsu who was waiting rather impatiently for her answer.

She smiled warmly at him and said "Of course! I would love that? How about nine o'clock?"

She surprised little when he smiled back "Sounds great. See ya in nine then" With that he got up and walk away.

"Where are you going?" Mira asked looking as Natsu was about to use his spell to exit the guild hall He glanced over his shoulder and said "Well I can't have horns on our first date, right?" and with that he disappeared. This was heard by most of the guild and their jaws hit the floor, Makarov even spit his bear hearing this. They just watch wide-eyed as Mira practically danced around the tables with blush on her cheeks and humming some happy melody.

**time skip- 8.57 p.m.**

Mira was in her house sitting on sofa. She was done preparing herself for her date half an hour ago but she would every few minutes stood up and walked to mirror to see if she needed to change something. She stood up again and walk toward mirror for who know which time this day.

Elfman watched his sister with small frown. He was happy that she is going on date with man from her dreams but for Elfman it was more like from his nightmares. Even though Natsu did became more friendly toward guild after whole Battle of Fairy tail thingy, he was still mostly cold to everyone else except for few certain people (namely Mira, Wendy, Gray, Lucy, Erza, Master and cats). To tell the truth Elfman was still afraid of him, well most of the guild still was. But if you ask Elfman it's MANly to be afraid of Nastu.

Mira looked at her reflection in mirror. She wore a black, knee-long, bell-shaped skirt that had lace on it, a purple shirt with puffy sleeves and a black corset over a shirt, around the collar shirt was tied black ribbon. She had black boots on heel, which were decorated with straps. Her hair was the same as always; loose tied with bangs. (If you want to better visualize the picture look at images of 'gothic lolitta')

She look at clock that was above mirror. The moment clockwise showed nine rang the door bell. Mira walk quickie to door and open them. She was really surprised by what she saw. In front of her stood Natsu with his usual spiky pink hair. But what was unusual was his clothes. He had black shirt with long sleeves that was tucked in black long pants and they were tucked in black boots. His scarf was warped around his neck as always and he had over his shoulders black coat (He didn't had his arms in sleeves). The coat was of course also black and it had silver buckles and silver buttons. It was long coat that reach his ankles.

Natsu looked at her and smiled. His dragon eyes glowed in dark of the night.

"You look beautiful" Natsu said smiling. Mira took closer look at his head and saw that his horns were gone.

"You look nice as well" She said smiling back "And I see that you don't have horns anymore"

'He's soooo handsome!' Mira yelled inside her head and blush covered her cheeks a little.

Natsu smirked "Well I said that I'll get rid of the. The only reason why I had them was because I wasn't able to fully transform in my human form"

Mira nodded and then looked back inside house and said "Elfman! We're leaving!"

Natsu saw Elfman going toward them and when he stood in front of them Natsu said with evil smirk "It's nice to know where you live"

Elfman paled and gulped. He then stuttered "H-have a good t-time"

Natsu turned to Mira and said "We will, don't worry" and with that he and Mira start walking down the road.

When Elfman closed the door Mira giggled and then turn serious but there was still trace of laughing "You didn't have to scare him like that"

Natsu chuckled and said "Oh, come on. You have to admit it was fun"

Mira laughed and said "It really was"

They walked trough almost empty streets with smiles on their face. After ten minutes Natsu led her in nice, fancy restaurant. The waiter led them to a table for two that was next to a window overlooking the nearby beach and sea. They ordered their dinner; Mira ordered salmon and Natsu steak. They also had bottle of wine.

"So... how was your day?" Natsu asked taking sip of wine from glass.

"It was really great..." Mira started blushing "one handsome dragon invited me on dinner"

Natsu look at her a bit surprised before he quickly looked trough window with small blush on his cheeks. She saw that and giggled 'He looks cute like this' she thought before she said "How about your day?"

Natsu chuckled and thought 'Two can play that game' and said "It was indeed great day. But I must say that the night is my favorite part of day and especially when you get to go to dinner with your favorite demon"

Mira blushed this time. They eat in pleasant silence for little while before Natsu put down his fork and asked, she could hear little worry in his voice "Were you afraid of me?"

She frowned. How could he even think about that. She inhaled "When?"

"When I turned in dragon." he said looking her in eyes.

"No" she said without moment hesitation. This actually surprised him "Why were you crying then?" Mira looked at him confused but remembered what happened and said "I was afraid for you, not you. And beside that, if you remember I said that you look beautiful as a dragon just as you do in your human form." Mira then realized what she said and her face turned red.

To Mira's surprise Natsu blushed slightly and grinned at her "Thanks Mira. You have no idea how much it means to me"

They talk about some usual stuff like how Natsu would enjoy scaring Elfman, and Mira about who in guild should be couple or about Natsu's jobs or Mira's newly returned magic.

It was around ten o'clock when they decided to leave restaurant. They walk trough town little holding their hands when Natsu said with warm smile "Hey, let me show you one of my favorite places"

Mira was little shocked that he want to show her his favorite place but was happy. She smiled back and they went toward forest. Natsu was practically dragging her as they run trough bushes and trees.

After almost an hour Mira could see that they're reaching end of the forest. Natsu jumped one last time before he stopped and look in front of himself.

"Here we are" he said, smile still on his face. Mira find it little weird how long that smile was there. He usually never smiles. She then registered what he said and look around. The place was really beautiful. She was mesmerized with its beauty. It was lake with perfectly blue water, gold sand and green grass little further. Around lake were high cliffs that were made of white stone that was shining on moonlight. She could see many colorful fishes and some of them even glowed slightly under the moonlight. There were few apple trees around lake and apples on them were big and yellow almost gold in color. From one place were cliffs were in touch with lake was small waterfall. On another side of lake she could see herd of deers. She just watch it with wide eyes. It was wonder of Nature.

"This... this is so beautiful, Natsu" She said turning her face toward Natsu to find him sitting on sand with crossed legs.

"I know. That's why I showed it to you but I would be grateful if you wouldn't say about it to anyone" he said looking at lake.

"Don't worry. I won't say about it to anyone" she said walking toward him and sit next to him.

"Thanks..." He said and smiled again "I come here often when I need some time alone or after my training"

Mira after heard training remembered few questions that she wanted to ask him "Hey Natsu..."

"Hm?" he asked.

"How many spells do you know?"

Natsu's eyebrows squeezed as he thought "I never counted actually... Let's see... I know around nine regular slayers attack, then few lost arts, then around three normal secret arts, then my demon form have around two secret arts, let see... what else.. oh yea, there's forbidden spells and there is few dragon king's spells and two dragon king's secret arts."

Mira's jaws hit the floor. "That's...many... spells"

Natsu chuckled "Yes... I guess it is"

"How about you come one day and see me training or you can even train with me?" he asked "Then I could show you most of my spells"

Mira's face light up "REALLY?! OH, THAT'S SOUNDS GREAT!" She yelled and hugged Natsu. First moment Natsu tried to get out of the hug but after few seconds he smiled and patted Mira on her back. Mira then start blushing and said "Sorry, I got really exited"

Natsu smiled at her and said "Never mind..." he then look her in face and said "You look cute when you blush"

She stared at him for few minutes before she started blushing even more making Natsu chuckling little. He then stood up and walk toward lake, Mira behind him. Mira then smiled at her idea what ever it was and used her magic to got in red swimsuit. Natsu looked at her confused and Mira said "How about we go into the water"

Natsu smiled back but shook his head "I like idea but no, I can't. I don't have my trunks"

Mira's smile turned little demonic and she said "That's the point"

Natsu chuckled at smile Mira give him (while most people are scared of that smile he find it beautiful). "You little demon" he said in playful voice.

Mira pouted little but smile never leaving her face. She then entered the water and gestured Natsu to follow her. Natsu then took of his shirt and pants but kept his black and blue underpants. Mira frowned slightly when she saw that he wasn't going to take off his underpants. He walk in water and immediately felt pleasantly cool water on his skin. Mira was already in middle of the lake and calling Natsu to come what he did without moment hesitation. They swim to part of lake where was reflection of the moon.

Mira had slight blush on her face all the times thinking 'He looks soooo good~~~! Those muscles on his arms make me feel... and... No... Stop thinking about that, Mira!'

Natsu noticed her blush and chuckled again.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked puling her closer to himself.

Mira's face turned even redder and she let out nervous chuckle "Noting..."

Natsu puled her even closer and now they were touching each other. Mira could feel Natsu's abnormally cold body but somehow it was really comfortable and relaxing. The lake weren't weary deep in that part because there was rock beneath them so they could stand on him. She just now noticed that he was hugging her what surprised her slightly. He then whispered in her ear gently "I... love you, Mirajane"

That Mira was shocked was understatement. She was beyond that. Of course, Wendy already told her that when they had their little chat a little more then month ago but to hear that from him... It was like dream come true! She loved Natsu since they become friends. She always loved how everyone were afraid of him. He gave her a sense of security. She was never afraid of him. Never. Since he joined she was always admiring his strength. She puled back slightly to look him in eyes but not to far so they were still in hug. She was so happy and when she saw him smiling warmly at her she hugged him tighter and said "I love you too, Natsu"

What happened next shocked Natsu this time as Mirajane puled their faces closer and closer... closer they lips touched... and... they kissed. Moonlight shining on them as they kissed each other. They didn't stop until they felt need to breathe.

Natsu looked at her with small smirk and said "How about we go to my place?"

Mira smiled back at him jumping in her head because she was so happy.

"That sounds great" she said as calm as she could but it was obvious that she was excited.

They swim out of the water and Natsu put back his clothes once he was dry and Mira used her magic to change back to what she was wearing before.

After about forty minutes of walking in pleasant silence while holding their hands they could see Natsu's little cottage. When they went inside Natsu asked her "Hungry?"

Mira shook her head and said with smile "No. I'm not hungry"

Natsu nodded and sit down on sofa gesturing her to come and join him tapping beside himself. She did what he asked and they were instantly in hug. Natsu then start kissing her neck where her shoulders and neck connect and start going higher until he was kissing her chin.

"Natsu~~" Mira whispered before their lips met. He start untie her corset not breaking the kiss and she start to take off his shirt. It was really great night for both of them and they surely won't forgot it.

From now on Mirajane Strauss is marked as dragon's mate and from now on Natsu Souleater got himself one beautiful She-devil.

**next morning**

Natsu woke up lying on sofa. That was unusual. He never slept here. He frowned slightly and then felt something or better to say someone on his chest. He looked from ceiling to his chest and was meet with soft white-haired head. The events of the night before returned to his head. He returned his gaze to Mira and smiled. After few minutes of watching her as she sleep he decided that it was time to get up and start his daily routine. Slowly, he squirmed out of Mira's embrace without waking her up and then went to the bathroom to ease himself and brushed his teeth. He put his clothes on(clean underwear, pants, shirt, scarf... usual) Looking through the window it was clear that it was still very early because the sun has not come out jet. When he came out of the bathroom he glanced at his watch. 4:43 a.m. He sighed. He was thinking whether to wake her up or not because she did said she wants to see his spells and for bonus he could work on them and try to complete along the way secret art which he start creating before all those madness broke out because of Laxus. But when he looked at her sleeping so peacefully he wasn't sure to wake her or not. After few minutes of thinking he decided that he will clean house first. He took clothes from all around small room. He couldn't help but smile as he recalled last night. He was now holding Mira's bra and panties, her skirt, corset and shirt. He put her clothes on hammock and his take in bag where he kept dirty clothes before he took it somewhere to clean it up. When he was done with that he looked at watch again. 4:59 a.m.

"Well better to wake her up now" he said out loud.

He stood next to sofa in front of Mira and gently shook her shoulder. He stir slightly but remained asleep. He then took different approach. He kissed her cheek. She giggled but still didn't open her eye. He tried few more different things and ideas but with no results. He frowned.

This started to become boring so he just shouted "Yo, Mira! Wake up!"

This did the trick. She jolted on her feet "Huh? What?!" When she saw Natsu chuckling she took pillow and hit him straight in head yelling "You scared me!"

"I tried to wake you up differently but you wouldn't wake so I just shouted" He said rubbing his sore forehead "And good morning to you too"

Mira chuckled at him and went toward him. She stood on her fingertips and kiss his forehead. "Good morning, Natsu"

She then saw clock behind Natsu. 5:12 a.m. She narrowed her eyes at Natsu and asked "Why did you wake me up so early?"

Natsu smirked "You said you want to see me training"

Smile appeared on her face as she said excitedly "Let's go! Let's go!" She start dragging him out but before she get to the door Natsu said "How about you put some clothes on first?"

Mira then looked at herself and her face turned red like tomato. She then used her magic to put clothes on (A/N: I figured she can do that since she was doing something like that on Grand magic games when she was fighting Jenny Realight in anime) It was her usual pink dress.

Natsu chuckled.

"What's so funny?" she asked glaring at him.

"Nothing" Natsu said unaffected by her glare.

They then went out and after few minutes of walking in which Natsu explained her that he will practice his spells today. They got to large clearing of forest and Mira was little shocked by what she saw. Large clearing was full with craters, smashed rocks, trees... This was obvious where he trained his attacks. He said her to sit under tree that was on edge of the clearing and was still standing by some miracle.

"I train here with Wendy sometimes" he said and Mira nodded "If you want you can come here as well"

She smiled at her boyfriend (Yeah, he's her boyfriend now).

Natsu then went to middle of the clearing and start building his magical pressure.

"Dragon slayer secret art: Element Take Over: Earth master!" he shouted and his eyes started glowing brown. Mira was just staring in awe as he made few dummies from earth in front of himself with just swinging his arms. When he made ten dummies his eyes turned back to dragon like.

"Chaos Dragon's chaotic Elbow!" Natsu then yelled and hit one of the dummies with his elbow destroying dummy and few around him with just shock wave. He used few more spells before all dummies were destroyed.

"That was nice warm-up" he said to himself. 'Now let's try another secret art'

He start building his magical pressure again and now was warped in his magic and Mira noticed that since he become dragon his magic become black and red instead of black and blue like it used to be.

"Dragon slayer secret art: chaotic extinction: devil's trap!" Mira's eyes widened slightly when she remembered that spell. It was spell which he was planning to use on master Jose.

Around Natsu formed five dark red pillars. Under him, on ground started form pentagram. Mira needed to sit on ground because of pressure. When pentagram was done it formed six cells in each part of pentagram with Natsu in middle. Then Natsu starched out his arms and from him shoot his energy that cowered all cells. Mira realized easily that who ever ended inside would be dead except Natsu. Energy died down and cage disappeared leaving only Natsu standing where he used to. Ground where was that cage was now in flames slightly and was completely burned.

Natsu looked around him with satisfied look. It was much more powerful then before he became dragon and he used much less magic then before. He used few more spells and then decided to try another secret art he was working on.

He used first again his 'Dragon slayer secret art: Element Take Over: Earth master' but this time he made sculpture that looked like dragon but was smaller.

He closed his eyes to concentrate. He used this spell only in training because it wasn't done jet. He started to concentrate his magic in his right arm to create something but it just blow up in his face. Mira was abot to ran to him to see if he was fine but he shouted to her "Don't worry! I'm just trying to master this new spell"

When Mira sit back down he started again. After few more unsuccessful tries he sat on ground annoyed. Mira this time walked toward him.

"What exactly are you trying to do?" she asked when she get close enough.

"I'm trying to make blade from my energy but I can't concentrate enough magic in small blade" he said looking at her. She hugged him, they kissed each other and then she said

"Why don't you try again because now I gave you kiss for luck" she said smiling and h smiled back.

"Okay" he waited for her to get back under tree before he start doing it again. As blade slowly formed in his hand he started chanting "My soul turned herself to hell..." Blade become longer.

"...Now I'm asking hell to come to me and let my enemy save my soul..." Blade now looked like sword just it was made from his magic. It was black and red sparks danced around it.

"The demon's Nest opened its doors. Pull the sinner in its depths. Dragon King's secret art: hell's blade: execution!" He yelled at the end and swing his blade at dragon sculpture. First second nothing happened but after that dragon sculpture fell on floor in two pieces and then exploded making large crater.

Natsu stood in middle of crater as blade vanished into nothingness. Mira rushed toward him and hugged him "I told it was lucky kiss"

Natsu kissed her and then said "How about we go wash ourselves and go back to guild? Elfman might call council that I kidnap you" he joked and they both laughed.

"Sure" Mira said. They went to lake and take bath there and headed back to guild.

**after they got back in the guild- 11:18 a.m.**

Natsu was sitting on second desk. They came back half an hour ago. Everyone immediately went to Mira to ask her about her date since no one dared to ask Natsu. Natsu noticed that Erza and others didn't came back jet. After hour or so more of just sitting there and listening guild ask Mira about every detail he started thinking about something else. His train of thoughts were interrupted when Mira run to him with job paper. He raised his eyebrow when Mira jumped in front of him happily.

"Levy said she will work at bar for me today so we can go on job together!" she said excitedly.

On Natsu's face appeared smile. "I guess you already pick one" he said standing up.

Mira nodded with simple "Yup"

"What is it about?" Natsu asked trying to take job request from her hands but she didn't let him see.

"It's a surprise~~" she said almost singing but there was her small demonic smile. Natsu chuckled "What ever"

And with that they went out of the guild hall toward... "T-train station?!" Natsu said and paled slightly as they were now standing in front of train station.

"Can't we walk?" he asked hopefully but much to his displeasure Mira shook her head 'no'.

"It would take too long" she said and then quickly added when Natsu tired to say something "And no, I don't want to get there with 'chaotic void'"

Natsu just huffed at that and they went in train and Natsu put his emotionless face again.

**Hargeon Town after an hour of hellish ride**

They stood in front of restaurant that Natsu new pretty well. On sign on restaurant said 8-Island. This restaurant was led by former members of the Council and one of Makarov's good friends, Yajima.

Natsu looked at Mira annoyed "You expecting me to do in restaurant?"

Mira smiled at him with her demonic smile and nodded. Natsu sighed and was about to walk away but she stopped him "Please~~"

Natsu sighed again and said "Okay, okay" they walk inside and Natsu thought annoyed 'I becoming soft'

When Yajima saw Mirajane he smiled and waved her but when he saw Natsu he paled. That boy scared living daylight out of him.

"Hi, Mr. Yajima. Natsu and me are the ones that take your job to work here for today. I hope we didn't come to late?" Mira said politely

Yajima shook his head "No, don't worry, Mira, dear. Makarov informed me that you are coming so you're not late at all" he said with smile.

Here let me get you your uniforms. Yajima said and went to get two orange uniforms and give them to Mira and Natsu. Natsu saw orange color in his arms, narrowed his eyes and glared at Yajima

"Do I have to wear this?" Natsu asked coldly pointing at uniform like it was rat.

Yajima felt shivers going down his spine "N-no... Not at all, my boy... I mean Natsu" he corrected himself quickly after Natsu glared at him once again.

Natsu put his emotionless face and said "Good. I don't like it."

Mira put her uniform and Yajima explained them that they need to serve guests. After he said that, few people were in restaurant so Mira went to one table and asked them what they want with her smile. Yajima was happy that she was here. She always knew how to get people order more.

Then he turned to look at Natsu.

Natsu was standing in front of two people and asked coldly "What do you want?"

People stared at theor menu and just said "Hmmmmmm"

They sat there without answering his question and that annoyed him so he start letting his magic out. Yajima paled.

"What. Do. You. Want?" Natsu asked annoyed with demonic voice.

Two people immediately paled and stuttered "W-we want..." Natsu glared at them as temperature around them drop "Well...?" he asked

"We want everything you have sir!" They shouted hugging eachother. Natsu stop letting his magic out and give them one of his famous wicked grins "If you say so"

Other guests shiver slightly hoping that he won't come to them and Mira and Yajima just sweatdropped.

'Well at least I will get more money today' Yajima thought and sweatdropped again.
