Hey, fairy tail fans, and welcome back to friendship, family love, and the fairy tail. we have another dragon slayer centric chapter today which in a way is more of a sequel to an earlier chapter I wrote called dragon reunion(chapter 16), in which I had Anna reunite with a younger Natsu, so I would read that before reading this, but I'll try to explain in a story, in any case, let's get on with the story

title: the Dragon's teacher

Summary: fairy tale is a bit suspicious of the women claiming to be Natsu's caretakers. There are even more worried that she might be why he leaves the guild.

relationships: Natsu and Anna(mother-son), Natsu and Erza(brother-sister), Nali (if you squint)

Makarov had many mixed feelings when Natsu, Erza, and Lisanna had walked in with a stranger she seemed to be taking in the place as Natsu showed her around though they also noticed the smile in her eyes when he talked to her almost joy, so he wondered who this person was he was about to ask when Mira beat him to the punch "who the hell is this" Mira screamed "Lisanna, Natsu" she shouted "what have we told you about messing with strangers" she called he sighed he needed to talk to her about that.

"Sensei is not a stranger," Natsu screamed back, grabbing her as she laughed "she's an old friend," Natsu said

"o0old friend, you say," Makarov said, making his voice known and hopefully calming the situation down before it grew any further. he then let his gaze set on Erza, who gave him a confirmed nod to the girl trusted Natsu. As such, he would trust the boy as well "so why don't you introduce us," he asked, 'and she might give us some insight to who were come from' he thought to himself the fact of Natsu's past was something that had always intrigued him the boy had little no social skill when they first meet he was able to communicate well. Still, he could tell that he wasn't used to large crowds and seemed.

"Yeah, this my sensei Anna," he said. Most of the men in the guild swooned as she revealed her face giving them a warm smile "she was the one who made Igneel's scarf."

"Wait, I thought Igneel made it," Elfman said

"You know a dragon making scarf friends; make much sense now that I think about it," Macao muttered. "But wait, how did Natsu know you? I thought he was raised in the woods."

"That personal," Anna said as she pulled something out, "but if you doubt my boy's story." she pulled out a small photo as everyone went up to her.

"Hey, that's Igneel and me" Natsu pointed to part of it, which showed him and gigantic Dragon whose bodily majority is covered with dark, red scales.

"That Igneel," Erza and Lisanna screamed.

"he's huge," Mira shouted, "how did he not squash you."

"he's a gentle dragon," Natsu said as everyone crowded the group. "But wait" he looked to the other side of the phot there was another dragon it was a dragon with a white body, which appeared to be covered in tissue similar to bird feathers, rather than scales. "that's" Natsu stopped another memory cleared itself in his head." Grandeeney"

"You know that dragon Natsu," Erza said

"That's Grandeeny," Natsu said, "right," he said, looking to Anna, who smiled, nodding as he looked at her "did she disappear like Igneel," Natsu asked, "what? Happened to Wendy."

"Whose Wendy" Erza asked.

"Yeah, whose Wendy," Lisanna asked, a hint of jealousy in her voice. She saw that next to Natsu was a small girl with short blue hair. The pair seemed to be smiling. She could tell they were pleased she wondered what their relationship was like

"Is she okay?" Natsu said

"I'm sorry, Natsu," anna said, "but like I said, "you were all separated" she sighed. "I'm sure she'll turn up in time." she smiled at him.

'So, there are other dragon slayers out there,' Makarov thought to himself as everyone asked Anna a question which she answered vaguely. He could tell that she was keeping things from even Natsu. ' Wonder why that is.'

hours after the pair sat in his office as Makarov went over some papers "you want to see if my story checks out," Anna asked, "and you want to know why I'm hiding things from the boy" she smiled. "I must admit I'm glad he was abler to find a place with people who care so much for him."

"Yes," Makarov said, "he had become a member of this family," Makarov said, "I apologize for any worry that you may have had while searching for him."

"it's no worries," Anna sighed "if anything, I should be the one apologizing," she laughed. "Natsu has always had an "energetic personality," she said. "I know he's caused you more trouble than he would admit."

"Yes," Makarov muttered, "but he's a good kid" he then turned to Anna, "so if you don't mind me asking," Makarov stated, "what the full story behind Natsu."

"There are some things that" Anna started looking away. "Natsu and Wendy both are unique children," she said "they were orphaned as they said, but" Anna stopped. "His elder brother gave Igneel Natsu."

"Natsu has an older brother" Makarov

"Please, you must not tell him this," Anna said, "for his safety, Natsu cannot know about him," Anna sighed "from what I've gathered," Anna said "Natsu's brother is long gone," Anna said "I'll tell him when I feel he's ready to hear that truth but as he is now"

"I understand," Makarov said more than anything he could understand, but still he felt as if he wasn't being told everything but chose not to pry "if don't mind me asking, Natsu mentioned that you knew where Igneel went," he asked, "but haven't told him."

"it's more complicated," Anna said. "Igneel is a lot closer than Natsu will ever guess," Anna said "about a year ago, he performed a spell that allowed him to seal himself away in Natsu's body," she said "think of it like a symbiotic relationship" Ann explained "he allows Natsu to have more power and Igneel to regain his strength" she sighed "dragon were losing power, and this was a way for them to rest"

"I see," Makarov said, "don't worry, I won't tell him about this."

"that's all I may ask," Anna said

"And please," Makarov said, "seeing as you are the closet thing Natsu has to a family that makes you are family to" eh smiled at her "if you need anything."

"You are too kind," Anna smiled "thank you, but now I just wish to be with him," she smiled. "I feared something might have happened."

"I understand," Makarov said as she left the room.

Weeks passed when Erza came into the guild "has anyone seen Natsu" Erza asked. "I was supposed to help with his writing," Erza said

"I think I saw him with Anna earlier," Gray said. This was enough to get a groan from the boy. Ever since she had shown up, she had reigned in Natsu so that not even Makarov had predicted. They all noted how Natsu seemed to declare fight challenges less he still did, but he respected and backed off when people would tell him no even Laxus was shocked when it first happened. That was a fun meltdown to watch

"Hey, Laxus," Natsu screamed, "fight me."

"Not now, brat."

"Oh, okay," Natsu said, which made Laxus spit out his drink

"Who are you? What have you done with Natsu."?

"Naw," Natsu said, "you said you couldn't, so that's understandable," he walked away. "I guess we can fight another time."

"What did I witness

"He's always with Anna," Lisanna said, "him and Happy," she smiled "she is teaching us how to write," she pulled out a piece of paper "see."

"Wow," Mira said, "when did you learn to write like that," she said, "Miss Anna taught me."

"Yeah, she's amazing," Levy said, "she gave me all these books to read."

"I'm sure there are words that I don't know," Wakaba muttered "these kids."

"I wonder what she and Natsu could be talking about," Erza wondered

"You don; think he's going to leave with her to find Igneel," Lisanna said

"I doubt that," Erza noted, "he's been talking about how Igneel will be back more lately."

"I hope so," Levy said, "he's, our friend."

"So are you going to stay for long, sensei," Natsu asked

"I have to find the others, Natsu," Anna said, smiling at the boy," but don't worry," she smiled at him. "I'll stop by., so try not to get yourself into too much trouble, okay."

"Yes, ma'am"

"And don't forget," Anna said, bending down to kiss his forehead

"How much I love you."

And that's a wrap

So, tell them what you think this relationship needs more love, and I will do it even if it kills me, but enough about that in any case, I'll see you next time.
