edited chapter 4 enjoy


Natsu hides behind a boulder about 20 meters from large brick and mortar building.

"On my mark, we storm, me and Jellal will unleash out spells. Ultear Meredy kept the stragglers from running," he says to a communication lacrima."

"3"

"2"

"1 now, Jellal."

He jumps high in the sky. "Grand chariot" seven beams of light comes crashing down on the building, reducing the roof to ruble.

Natsu landed into the middle of what remained of the guildhall "fire dragon roasting breath," the whole area erupted in flames, causing the dark mages to scream in pain.

Jellal lands and starts knocking out dark mages one by one with Natsu alongside him.

A few mages manage to escape the building in time to meet Ultear with a wicked grin "parallel worlds."

The area around was lined with countless lacrima hailing down on the few mages who survived the last attack.

The dark guild was taken out and ready for the rune knight to arrest them in no time flat.

An hour later

"Man, that was too easy," Natsu said offhandedly.

"Well, we are a caple bunch of wizards," Jellal added.

"Aye, sir."

"Last time I checked, you did nothing," Meredy teased.

"Hey, I was the one who found the guild," he retorted, not catching her teasing tone.

"I was only teasing Happy it would have taken us longer to find their guildhall without you."

"Aye, sir," he jumps into her arms, getting a hug.

"Well, we better get back to the guild now," Natsu says with a sigh.

The group slowly made their way back to Magnolia until Natsu notices something in her peripheral vision.

"Hold up a sec," he changed his direction until he reached what looked like an abandoned military base.

The structure was relatively big and was made out of stone brick with vines growing all over it.

"How far are we from the nearest town?"

"Not far, about a half-hour walk at most. Why?" Ultear asked.

Natsu smirked at this, "I think we found a more permanent guildhall location but first. Ultear thinks you can fix it up."

"Sure" with her arc of the time, she reversed the structure to its former glory.

"Now, this is what I'm talking about. Thanks, Ultear," he said, smirk.

Ultear had a slight blush from the praise as few people ever complimented her skills "no problem," she said with minor stutters.

They started exploring the insides to see how much living space was available.

After some light exploring, it suited their needs perfectly.

"Come on, let's get back to the guild and tell everyone the news."

"Aye, sir."

"Agreed"

Magnolia

When they made it back, they told everyone the news, and many, we're happy with this.

Being in the same town as another guild was a little uneasy for them, especially those thwarted by them.

Unfortunately, they can't move just yet as Natsu attended a guild master meeting the next day.

Later the day

Nearly everyone in the guild was home preparing for the move when Natsu gets back.

The only ones left were Natsu and Ultear to help him deal with this recent influx of paperwork.

"Ultear mind if I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"Do you think you can come with me as this is all new to me, and I really don't want to screw this up as both our heads are already on the chopping block." He said with a nervous smile.

Seeing the discomfort is in his smile," I would love to after all you've done for us. It's the least I can do," she said in a cheerful tone even though internally, she has the same feeling as him.

"Thanks, Ultear, that means a lot," he said with an uplifting smirk.

"It's no problem," she said, looking away as she fought off a blush "what is this feeling I'm having."

The next day

Natsu Ultear and Macao were at the train station waiting to head to clover town.

"Ok, I know why Natsu is here, but why is Ultear here?"

"Natsu asked me to come along as this is all new to him, and since we're on thin ice as it is," she is visibly nervous.

"I get what you're saying, and I can't blame him since he has a habit of going off the deep end and getting in unfavorable conditions."

Natsu wasn't paying much attention as he focused on the dreaded train ride. He was getting motion sickness just thinking about it.

On cue, the train pulled into the station, waiting for people to board it.

Natsu reluctantly boarded the train. The three found a cart to themselves.

The moment the train started moving, Natsu began to turn green.

He struggled to stay up as he leans against the windows trying to keep his food down.

"Is he gonna be ok?"

"Yeah, as this is normal for him, but usually, from what I understand, Erza helps him deal with it."

"How?" the moment she said that, Natsu collapsed to Ultear's lap easing his suffering as the color was returning to his face.

"Like that," Ultear couldn't help but blush at this.

It didn't help that Macao was grinning at this.

The rest of the trip was silent as Ultear couldn't speak because of her blush and Macao grinning like the village idiot.

Clover town

"Sorry about that" was all Natsu said

"About what?" her blush still with her.

"About resting my head on your alp without consent," he said, looking away.

"Oh, it's nothing to be sorry about after all. If you didn't, your motion sickness would have been far worse," Ultear chirped in a caring tone.

"Thanks, ultear and unfortunate that won't be the only time," he said nervously.

She slapped him playfully "don't worry about it. It's the least I could do after all you've done for us," she said with a small smile.

"Again, thanks," he said with a smile before heading to the conference hall.

When they finally made it, Natsu and Ultear earned the eye of every guild master.

Unfortunately, Ultear also got the perves eye of just about every male in the room.

She instinctively stepped closer to Natsu at this, hoping they get the message across.

And they got it as they returned to what they were doing before.

"My my, who would've thought Natsu would be guild master," master Bob said in a flirtation tone, sending a shiver down Natsu's spine.

"I must admit I never saw this coming," Goldmine added.

"Been awhile," Natsu responded.

"Natsu, mind introducing us to this lovely young woman of yours," Bob added.

He hesitated for a moment.

He looks to her, getting a nod in return "this is Ultear. She's my second in command as I'm new to this whole guild master thing," he said nervously.

"If Makarov could see you now," Goldmine said, laughing all around.

"Pff," a random person added.

Everyone looks to the origin to see a tall, well-built man with long blonde hair.

"Him again," Goldmine whispered to the others.

"Who are you?" Natsu had to ask.

"Natsu!" Goldmine said

"What is it?"

"That's Jiemma master of the Sabertooth guild, and he doesn't think too highly of the other guilds, especially Fairy Tail."

"You got a problem with it!"

"I don't know how a pathetic weakling like you is guild master. Especially since your former guild with dragon slayers couldn't slay a dragon and died because of their weakness."

The air temperature started rising, causing many to start sweating from the magic rolling off Natsu from that last comment.

"As if you could do better," he said with venom in his voice.

"Of course I can. After all, I and my guild aren't filled with a weakling. So if he were to attack, we would defeat him with ease."

"Just as Natsu was about to pounce, he felt a hand on his shoulder; he looks to see Ultear shaking her head side to side.

He relaxed. This display didn't go unnoticed as many were intrigued as this is the first time they've seen someone calm the dragon slayer down.

None more so than Macao, "never in all my year did I think someone could calm him down so much. But, hmm, Ultear seems you understand the dragon better than anyone before."

"That's enough Jiemma, we are here to discuss matters concerning the guild master," a representative from the council said, ending the conflict before it started.

The rest of the meeting went as you'd expect. First, the guild masters were informed of the council's new regulations concerning wizards and laws governing the magical world in Fiore.

The meeting went well into the afternoon, letting out around eight o'clock.

Natsu and Ultear were on their way back to the guild when his stomach rumbled.

It was loud enough to get Ultear attention, causing her to giggle.

"Mind if we stop to get something to eat?"

"I would like that as the food they served there was all that good"

The two made a detour to the nearest restaurant.

They found a small table to themselves out of the way, peering eyes.

They ordered their food and drink and sat there in awkward silence.

"Thank you."

"Hmm?"

"I never got to thank you for stopping me before I did something stupid that would have put us at risk," he said with his head down low.

"It was nothing as I couldn't blame you. I would have done the same thing if I was in your shoes."

"Hmmm"

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing anyway since were guildmates tell me a little about yourself?" he rubbed the back of his neck at this.

Ultear yet again had slight blush "what brought this on all of a sudden"

"I'm your guild master. It's my job to look after everyone, and I don't know a lot about you."

She was reluctant at first but caved in and told him about herself, more specifically that part she's ok with for now.

Natsu could help but laugh at some things that make her the person she is today, like secretly being an amateur scholar of wyverns.

Or how so handed many a guy's asses on a silver plate who were brave enough and dumb enough to cop a feel on her butt.

"It wasn't funny then, and it isn't funny now," she had an irritating tone in her voice.

"I'm sorry, it's just I wish I could see the look on their faces at how outmatched they were to wizard as strong as you," he said, still laughing.

Ultear had a slight shock as he unknowingly praised her skill as a wizard.

Now that their food arrived, Natsu got a fat juicy steak with baked potato and corn with a tall glass of flaming whiskey.

Ultear got Ceasar salad with a soft drink along with a side of bread.

They two ate their meal in comfortable silence.

"Enough about me. Let's talk about you since you wanted to know about me."

"Ok, then shoot."

Two hours later

Natsu went off the cuffs, telling her about all the jobs he took with fairy tail and the crazy stories born from them.

He had Ultear full attention this entire time, except for when they got dessert, he got a slice of chocolate cake and her strawberry sake.

Course Natsu made a one-liner about Erza obsession with it getting glare from her. Still, It didn't last long as he went back to telling her stories, and every now, and then she giggled at the dragon slayer antics.

By the time everything was said and done, it was nearly 11 at night. Time flies when you're invested in a good story.

"Woah, look at the time. We better hurry home."

"I think it's a little late for that."

"What makes you say that?"

"I doubt the train station is open this late, so we're gonna have to book a hotel for the night, and we're not walking back to Magnolia this late at night," she held a firm glare.

"I guess you're right. Just hope it has some rooms available."

"One way to find out!"

They found a nearby hotel that was thankfully open this time at night. Unfortunately, because of the guild master conference, there was only one room available.

"Guess that will have to do."

They grabbed their key and headed to their room when they opened the door.

There were greeted with a single full-sized bed.

"Damn, well, it looks like I'm sleeping on the floor."

"Natsu, you don't have to. We can share if need be," she blushing hard at her statement.

"It's fine. I've slept on the ground long enough where hard floor doesn't bother me."

"Won't you need a blanket?"

"I don't get cold." he took one of the pillows and slept on the side facing the window.

Ultear laid down on the bed, pulling the covers over, trying to get some sleep.

But she was having trouble as the moment she entered the room, there was a slight chill, and the covers were thinner than she thought.

Then her mind started thinking of Natsu as he might be able to chase the cold away from her body.

She sat up and threw her pillow at him waking him.

"What's the big idea," he said just under yell when he saw her slightly shivering.

"I'm cold. Think you can keep me warm" Ultear fought off blush during this time.

Fortunately, Natsu assumed the blush was from the cold "ok then, but let's just keep this between us, ok."

"Deal"

Natsu got under the cover on his side with his pillow and went to sleep almost instantly.

She made sure there was ample space between them. A small smile formed as Natsu's warmth drifted over to her side.

The next morning

Natsu was the first to wake up. He immediately notices Ultear had curled up to him in the night.

He couldn't stop the blush as she was using his chest as a pill and one arm on his well-defined muscles.

He moved her arm as carefully as he could and lifted her head to set it down on the pillow.

She had a sad look on her face as her heart source disappeared.

Feeling a bit of guilt, he put his hand flat on the bed and used his magic to heat it, not enough to burn it but enough for a content smile to form.

He let out a sigh of relief. He looks to the bathroom their room had "might as well take a shower since I'm up."

Later, Ultear woke to wipe the sleep out of her eyes "where Natsu" she noticed the shower was on. Then, she laid back down, trying to catch a few Z's while she can.

When Natsu finally came out, he used his flames to dry himself off almost instantly.

He still wore the same clothes as before since he wasn't planning to stay in a hotel.

He walks over to Ultear sleeping form "hey, showers all your now"

"Hmm, give me a minute."

Natsu sat down on a nearby chair and relaxed somewhat before long Ultear gut up in nothing but her black lingerie, too tired to register him, as she walked over to the shower.

Natsu was fighting off ablush as sight big rack beautiful ass, legs that went on for miles and those curves.

"I am not a pervert. I am not a pervert," he chanted in his head over and over again.

10 minutes went by until the shower turned off.

She walked out, grabbing her one-sleeved kimono on the ground, when she noticed Natsu staring right at her.

She stood there frozen as she realized how exposed she was.

She let out a shriek as she hammed him with lacrima before bolting back into the bathroom with her clothes.

"Why does this always happen to me" he looks at the damage she caused.

A Minute later, she found the courage to come out to see Natsu rubbing his temples in the partially destroyed room hotel room.

"Sorry about that. I was caught off guard for a second," she says with an unusual amount of guilt.

"It's fine. Just use your magic to fix this, ok."

"Right, completely forgot about that" she went to work fixing what she destroyed.

"Let's head out now," they turned in their key and headed to the train station.

They manage to make it before the train was set to leave, knowing this Natsu had to address the elephant in the room.

"I'm sorry about earlier."

"Hmm?"

"For staring earlier, when you were exposed."

"It's fine."

"But-"

"I'm not going to sugarcoat it, your a man, and I am a woman, a gorgeous one, I might add" this got a chuckle from him. "It's only natural. You would stare. Just try not to do it again."

"Well, thank you are right; you are easily one of the most attractive women I've had the pleasure of knowing."

Ultear had blush before saying, "I find that hard to believe given the caliber of women in fairy tail before her disappearance."

"Believe what you want to, but still, it was rude of me."

"Let's just pretend none of this ever happened when we make it back to the guild deal."

"Deal" as soon as he said that the train started moving, he started turning green.

Ultear rather forcefully brought his head to her lap, "thanks."

"Your welcome," she started running her hand through his pink locks as she looks out the window admiring the landscape.

Magnolia

When they got off the train, "Natsu, remember our deal."

"You'd think I'd forget that."

"I don't know you were the sharpest tool in the shed when you with fairy tail."

"Let just get back to the guild," he grunted.

When they made it back, he gathered everyone around.

"ok, everyone, our time in Magnolia is coming to an end as I think we found a more suitable location for our guild.

"Where at?" Doranbolt asked

"An old fort about three days away walk from Blue Pegasus a half-hour walk from the nearby village."

"I know the one you're talking about. I'll run it by the council real quick," Dorantbolt teleported away.

Minutes later, he returned, "the council approved we can start moving as immediately."

"We're gonna need your teleportation magic to do this as quickly as possible."

"No problem here."

"Ok, everyone gathers your thing here and will discuss travel arrangement from their"

Everyone headed out to gather their things "come on, happy. We got a lot of stuff to pack up."

"Aye, sir, but can stop by fairy tail to say our goodbyes."

"No problem," they headed to the fairy tail guildhall.

When they arrived, most of the guild was there.

"Natsu, where were you after the meeting yesterday?"

"Got hungry went to get something to eat."

With a wicked grin, "does that include Ultear?"

He just looked away "just came to let you know my guild found a new, more permanent place to establish our guild."

"You did!"

"Yeah, an old military fort a few days away from Blue Pegasus were packing up our stuff now came to say my goodbyes."

"We'll you be here for the harvest festival, at least?"

"Of Course, I always have a blast during that time," he chirped.

"Aye, sir!"

"Do you need any help?"

"Na, we're good" everyone came to give him their goodbyes real quick before going back to what they were doing previously.

"Come on, Happy, let's start packing" he jumps to his shoulder, heading off to their previous task.

After an hour of packing, Natsu had all three hammocks packed away blankets and few items from his memory wall.

"Shame, we can't bring all of them."

"Yeah, but that leaves us room for new memories to make."

"Aye, sir."

When they made it back to every to travel, everyone was present with their gear, waiting on their guild master.

"Doranbolt, will you be able to take everyone there?"

"Maybe as it takes a lot of magic to go that far and back and to take everyone and their stuff only compound the problem."

"Well, in that case, I'll go the last Ultear. You go first to organize everyone, and I'll go last just in case he doesn't have enough magic to do all of us."

"I'll go first just in case we have some uninvited guests while we were away."

"You sure, Jellal?"

"Positive," he winks toward Meredy, who had an evil grin.

"Natsu, you're the only one deserving of Ultear. I've seen the way you look at her and the way she looks at you. compared to the other male members of our guild, you are the only one who deserves her"

"Fine," he said tiredly.

Doranolt started taking one after another until the only ones left is him and Ultear since Happy left with Jellal.

Suddenly Natsu's communication lacrima went off "yeah."

"I've reached my limit. You can wait for me to take you guys here, or you can take a long way."

"I'll take a long way. I need to check out some rumor I've heard recently, Ultear your more than welcome to wait for him."

"I'll stay with you since you may need some backup, knowing you."

"Yes, I go overboard sometimes but don't tag along because of that; I know how to hold back."

"You holding back. I find that very hard to believe," Ultear said with a wicked grin.

With a sigh, "fine, let head out."

They caught a train out of Magnolia again. Natsu rested his head on her lap, and strangely, she starts to enjoy it. This was strange to her, but she didn't dwell on it.

When they got off the train, they got something to eat before heading off down winding dirt road.

"Natsu, what are these rumors you heard?"

"Apparently, Aria's been sighted in a nearby village. As you know, I'm interested in having him join the guild."

"That can't be the only rumor."

"Right, the next one is supposed to be a very talented blacksmith that recently entered Fiore."

"Why would you be interested in weapons?"

"I'm not, but Happy, tired of being on the sideline, and want to be more active in fights so he might be able to suit his needs."

"Ok, I can see that, and it might be a good idea to change up my outfit with something more robust than my kimono."

"You're not the only one. I was thinking of maybe getting some gauntlets so I can block without carrying around a shield."

"I think you mean vambrace. That could prove beneficial to you after that close call two jobs back."

"Don't remind me," he went blue at the memory rubbing his right forearm after nearly getting his arm chopped off when a guy swung his ax on him.

Thankfully, Jellal was there to get him out of the way, or his right arm would be gone.
