CHAPTER 6: Revelation

"man.. I'm so glad that I got out of that stupid train!" Natsu stretches his arms. The water and fire mage duo just got returned from their special mission from Hargeon, Now they had safely arrived back to Magnolia and was on their way back to the guild for their job report.

*sigh* "that job really drained Juvia out."

Natsu grinned. "hehe.. but you gotta admit, it was hell of a fun!" Juvia looked at Natsu and remembered all of the things that they did yesterday, she then smiled warmly at him. "yeah."

Natsu placed his arms at the back of his head as he looked at the sky. "I gotta say your good at being a mother, Ice princess will be very lucky to have you." Juvia blushed deeply at his comment.

"t-thank you.. J-Juvia thinks that Natsu-kun will be a great dad too!"

"haha! You think so?" Juvia nodded. "the girl that Natsu-kun will marry would definitely have a happy life!" she loudly declared.

Natsu smiled at her. "thanks." He then notice something at Juvia.

"hey Juvia.."

"hmm?"

He pointed at her hair. "your hair, you didn't change it back?"

Juvia then blushed as she tried to cover her hair. "J-Juvia just thought that i-i-it's a good hairstyle so-"

Natsu chuckled at her. "what are you so nervous about? I probably didn't say this yesterday but you look good like that." Juvia blushed even deeper at his compliment, she then covered her mouth with a strand of her hair.

"Natsu-kun wasn't bad in the eyes either.." she said in a very low voice that even Natsu had a hard time on catching what she said.

"what?"

"nothing!" she answered fast, Natsu raised her an eyebrow but decided to just shrug it off.

.

~Fairy Tail guild hall~

The guild was as rowdy as ever, some of the guys were busy brawling while the others were casually drinking and shouting. But on a small table lies a certain blond celestial mage who was busy in her own world while ignoring all the ruckus around her.

Lucy was tapping the table with her index finger while looking at the guild doors. 'Natsu didn't come to my room last night, did he and Juvia stayed overnight?'

"um.. Lucy-san." A small voice snapped Lucy out of her thoughts.

"huh? Oh, hi Wendy! You need something?"

Wendy shakes her head. "I just wanted to ask if your ok, cause you've been spacing out for quite a while now."

"yeah, your starting to freak me out." Gray who was sitting across Lucy decided to talk.

Lucy gasped. "Gray? when did you get there?"

Gray's jaw dropped at the table. 'I've been here the whole time, even before you got here!' he thought in irritation.

"anyway. I'm fine Wendy, just thinking about stuff." She gave the little dragon slayer an assuring smile. The guild doors loudly opened and Lucy quickly look back but sighed in disappointment as the one who entered was Erza. The guild immediately turn to panic as the brawling mages quickly scattered around to look for a hiding spot. Erza ignored them and walk straight to the bar stool where Makarov was sitting.

"master, are Natsu and Juvia back yet?"

Makarov looked at her. "the client informed me that they left early this morning, so they probably on their way here by now." Erza nodded. "we'll just wait for them then." The red head bowed a little before walking towards her teammates table. Wendy immediately greeted Erza.

"good morning Erza-san."

Erza smiled at her. "good morning to you too Wendy."

Gray smirked. "looks like your worried for the two, huh?"

Erza glared at him. "put on your clothes!"

"oh shit!" Gray quickly move to find his clothes.

Lucy sighed at her friend's antics and went back into staring at the guild doors, Erza noticed this and sat beside her. "master said that they will be back any time now, so no need to worry too much Lucy."

Lucy sigh again. "I know, but it wasn't their safety that I'm worried about." Erza looked at her confusingly. "then what is it?" Lucy frowned a little. "I don't know, but lately.. I feel like.."

"you feel what?" Wendy joined them.

Lucy looked at them. "threatened."

"huh?" Erza and Wendy asked in unison.

"its like.. some strong opponents were going to challenge me."

Erza smirked and patted Lucy on the back. "hmmp.. you shouldn't be scared Lucy. Whoever those opponents of yours are, they should be the ones that are scared and not you, show them what a Fairy tail mage can do!"

*SLAM!!*

"WE'RE BACK!" Natsu loudly exclaimed after kicking the door. All eyes of the guild stared as he entered with Juvia in tow, they gave them their welcome back greetings. Lucy perked up from her seat after hearing his voice, she immediately stood up and smiled at him.

"welcome back Natsu and uh.. Juvia?" Lucy was a bit stunned at seeing Juvia in her new look.

Wendy beamed at Juvia. "wow! Juvia-san got a new hair style!"

"shh! Wendy-san.. not so loud." Juvia pleaded while her face flushed from embarrassment.

Wendy covered her mouth. "sorry."

Erza smiled at the rain woman. "no need to be shy Juvia, it suits you."

Natsu grinned. "yeah! She looked beautiful right?!" he casually thrown his opinion.

*cricket sound*

The whole guild turned silent as they heard Natsu's comment with their mouths hanged open. Natsu looked around at everyone.

"what?"

Wendy blushed and covered her mouth in shocked. "N-Natsu-san?!"

Natsu turned to his fellow dragon slayer. "what's wrong?" Wendy pointed behind him, Natsu turned around and found a steaming red Juvia.

"N, N, N-N-N-N…" Juvia shakenly murmured. Natsu couldn't understand what she's saying, so he went near to her to listen carefully.

Juvia inhaled then..

"NATSU-KUN YOU IDIOT!!!!"

She screamed at him, then she ran out of the guild while covering her face due to embarrassment. Natsu cleaned his right ear using his right pinky finger.

"man, my ears hurt! what's her problem?"

'Natsu-kun?!' all guys -except Natsu- screamed in thought.

"Ahem!"

Natsu looked back. "oh, hey gramps!"

"since Juvia was gone, Natsu my boy.. kindly report in my office about your mission." Makarov jumped down from the barstool and walked to his office.

"fine.." Natsu lazily followed his old guild master, leaving everyone still stunned.

"did Natsu really just said that?" Max asked aloud.

"he called Juvia beautiful." Warren added.

Mirajane pouted playfully. "this is the first time that he complimented a girl like that, even I haven't been called beautiful by him." Mira looked to her side and saw Lisanna with a saddened look on her face while tightly gripping a plate that she was washing earlier.

Erza snapped out of her shock. "well that was… *cough* something." She turned to her blond friend. "ugh.. Lucy?"

Lucy stood still, her hair covering her eyes. Moments later.. she started to walked away. Erza tried to reached her out.

"hey Lucy.. where are you going?" Lucy ignored her and kept walking until she got out of the guild. Erza and Wendy got confused at her action but decided to let her be, thinking maybe she was just not feeling well.

.

An hour had past since the commotion, Natsu stepped out of Makarov's office with a bored face.

"that would have been easier if Juvia was there to explain things with me." He groaned.

"Natshuuu!" Natsu was tackled by his blue exceed partner. "welcome back!"

"Hey Happy.. how hard did you get rejected yesterday?"

Happy let out some fake tears. "how could you Natsu! After I greeted you so nicely!"

Natsu grew a thick mark. "hey! I haven't forgotten what you did the other day, so there will be no fish for you for a week!"

Happy made a horrified expression then he quickly flew away while comically crying. He spotted Lisanna and immediately flew towards her chest. "Lisanna! Natshu's being mean to me!" he cried on her chest.

Lisanna smiled and gently ruffled the cat's head. "don't listen to that dunderhead, come on! Let's go get something to eat!"

"Aye!" Happy cheerfully agreed.

Natsu quickly ran to them. "hey what about me?! I'm hungry too!"

Lisanna turned her head away from him. "hmph! Go eat by your self." She then walked away from him.

"bye Natshu!" Happy playfully waved at him. Natsu gritted his teeth before letting out a huge sigh and followed Lisanna.

"ok.. what did I do this time that got you mad?"

Lisanna kept walking. "I don't know, what do you think?" she replied without looking at him.

"come on Lisanna.. at least let me know what I did so I can plead my case."

"even if I told you, you wouldn't understand cause your insensitive to these kind of things!" she grumbled.

"umm.. what's going on?" Happy decided to asked.

"nothing."

Natsu scratched the back of his head to think for a bit, he sighed and quickly moved in front of Lisanna to stop her from walking any further.

"alright.. I know your really mad this time, so what do I have to do to make it up to you?" Lisanna frowned at him but Natsu stared right at her with his pleading eyes.

"please."

Lisanna blushed a little before looking to the side to avoid eye contact. She bit her lip.. "fine.." she finally gave in.

Natsu raised his right fist for his victory. "alright!"

"you will take me out." Lisanna ordered with face flushed. Natsu looked at her confusingly.

"huh?"

"you will take me out." She repeated.

"that's it?" Lisanna nodded.

Natsu grinned. "ok! I'll take you out this Sunday. Me and Happy will take our training day-off on that day."

Lisanna blushed even deeper. "you sure? Y-Your really taking me out?!"

Natsu raised an eyebrow. "yeah.. isn't that what you wanted?" Lisanna beamed brightly at him. "mm!" she happily nod her head.

Natsu smiled at her. "so, can we eat now?" he asked while rubbing his stomach. Lisanna giggled at him.

"youu.. liiiiiiiike- hrmp!" Happy didn't get to finish as Lisanna quickly stuffed his mouth with a fish. "shush Happy!"

.

~Lucy's apartment~

Lucy was sitting on her bed while hugging her knees. 'what's happening to me? I don't like this!' she lay down and buried her face on her pillow. 'am I jealous?' she quickly snapped out of her thoughts and instantly blushed. "no, no, no, no.. it cant be!" she stood up from her bed and went to her bathroom, she splashed her face with some water and looked straightly at the mirror. "am I having a crush on that idiot?" she recomposed herself by slightly slapping her cheeks with both hands at the same time.

*I'll always protect you..*

Lucy smiled after remembering what Natsu said to her. She dried her face with a towel and went out of her bathroom. *sigh* 'he's always there for me.. so it's normal for me to feel this way.. it's just a crush.. a normal admiration that us young maidens feel on someone we admired.'

Lucy looked up and clenched her fist. "that's it! I'm just having a crush nothing more!" she became flustered again after catching up on what she just said aloud. She placed her hands on her face to hide her reddish cheeks and peeked between her fingers to look at the window. 'damn that idiot! For making me feel like this!' she then went on her desk to write on her novel, hoping that it would distract her troubled heart.

.

~Fairy hills: Levy's room~

Levy stretched her arms and let out a huge sigh of relief. "all done!" she held up the book of Dragon Force. 'I wonder if Natsu's back from his mission?' she stood up and put the book on her bag as she got herself all set to head out. "I'll go to the guild and checked if he and Juvia are back by now." She opened her door and stepped out of her room, as she walked on the dorm hall.. she spotted Juvia walking with a flustered face while playing with her two index fingers.

"hey Juvia, welcome back!"

Juvia snapped out of her thoughts. "g-g-good day.. L-Levy-san!" she greeted back. Levy raised her eyebrows. "you ok there? Cause you look kinda red."

"J-Juvia's fine."

Levy eyed her. "o..k, anyway have you seen Natsu around?" Juvia perked up from hearing his name. "a-at the guild, N-Natsu-kun is at the guild."

Levy smiled. "really?! Thanks! I'll go to him right now, see ya.. bye!" she waved at her, Juvia nodded and waved back. As the bookworm had left, Juvia clenches her hand on her chest. "this isn't right.. why is Juvia feeling this way?" she asked herself, then she continued her way to her room.

.

Juvia sat on the side of her bed, the moment she arrived in her room. She was in deep thought as she recalls everything that happened to her yesterday. 'Juvia knows that she loved Gray-sama! But why does Juvia's heart keeps on pounding like this by a mere compliment from Natsu-kun?'

"Juvia is so confused right now." She said to herself.

.

~at the guild~

Mirajane was cleaning a beer mug at the counter while she watches her little sister who was happily chatting with Natsu and Happy. She let out a sigh of relief. "looks like she's ok now." She said to herself. She knows how much Natsu means to her little sister as she always caught her looking at him secretly, but as much as she loved matchmaking some people.. she decided to let this one be, cause she knows that it's not only her sister that is interested on the pink haired pyro. Mira also knows how Lucy was nearly there to realized her own feelings on Natsu. Mira would loved to support her little sister on her path of love, but she knows that this is the battle that she must not interfere. She cared for both Lucy and Lisanna.. so that's why she would let them be on their unnoticed loved triangle. Little did she knows, that it wasn't just those two who would battle for the dragon's heart.

.

"Natsu slow down, nobody is gonna steal your food." Natsu ignored Lisanna's lecture and kept on munching his food.

"that's not gonna work Lisanna." Happy said before biting the head of his fish. Lisanna sighed and finished her own food.

The guild doors opened as Levy entered the guild hall. She looked around and spotted Natsu eating, she then went to the pyro's table.

"Natsu!"

Natsu looked up and was greeted by the bookworm's smile.

"bey, bebvy!"

Levy giggled at him. "how about you finished your chewing first."

"sorry about him Levy, is there anything you need?" Lisanna asked the bookworm.

Levy nodded. "I'm actually here to tell Natsu that I had finished translating the book!"

Lisanna blinked twice. "hmm?"

Natsu swallowed all the food in his mouth and stood up. "really?!" Levy happily nodded. Natsu then placed his hand at Levy's head as he gently ruffled her hair. "thanks Levy! You're the best!" He grinned at her. Levy blushed as she looked up at Natsu's grin, Lisanna childishly pouted at them. 'this reminds me of back then..'

~flash back~

A 10 year old Levy was happily reading a book alone at a small table, until two young boys approached her.

"hey! We wanted to use this table, mind moving your books to the library." A young Jet requested.

"yeah! We wanted to discuss our plan for our job. If you want to read in peace then move." A young Droy ordered.

Levy looked down to not look at them in the eyes. "o-ok, s-sorry." She started packing her books but..

"hey!"

the three looked back and was greeted by a glaring young Natsu. Natsu stepped in front of them.

"you got a problem with her? You jerks!"

Jet glared back. "it's none of your business pinky!" Droy nodded. "we were just asking her nicely to move her stuff, cause we need this table to plan for our next job."

Natsu teasingly scoffed at them. "plan? What for? Your just gonna fail again anyway."

Jet and Droy gritted their teeth at him. "why you..!"

"Natsu.."

Natsu turned and found a young Lisanna narrowing her eyes at him with her hands on her hips.

"are you trying to start a fight again?!"

Natsu waved her off. "no I wasn't. These two idiots are being a jerk and was bullying that girl."

"who are you calling an idiot?! You idiot!" Jet and Droy screamed at him.

Natsu raised an eyebrow at them. "you of course, duh.."

"that's it! Your dead!" Jet and Droy charged at him.

*BAM!* *BAM!* *POW!*

Natsu dusted his hands after beating up the two. "wow.. your even weaker than I thought." He then got suddenly pulled by the ear.

"ow, ow, ow! Lisanna stop! Please!" he pleaded to the young take over mage.

"you promised that you wouldn't take fights today." Lisanna said, still pinching his ear.

"oh come on! That was self defense! What would you want me to do? Let them beat me?!" he cried.

"umm.. excuse me.." Levy called, trying to get their attention.

The two turned to her. "yeah?"

Levy fidgeted while gripping at her skirt. "t-thank you f-for st-standing up f-for me earlier." She shyly bowed her head.

Natsu scratched the back of his head. "oh, it was nothing! These guys are being a jerk to you, so I only did what is right to them."

Lisanna let go of Natsu's ear. "are you ok now? um.."

"L-Levy.. Levy Mc Garden." The bookworm stated her name.

Lisanna nodded and smiled at her. "ok Levy! I'm Lisanna.." She then held Natsu's head. "and this idiot is Natsu!"

"hey!" Natsu angrily retorted.

Levy bowed her head a little. "h-hello."

Natsu freed himself from Lisanna's arms and looked at Levy. "you like reading books?"

Levy got a little scared from the way his yes looked at her. " y-yes I do."

Natsu then grinned widely at her and started patting her head. "great! When you found a book about dragons, will you read it for me?" Levy blushed a little as she stared at him. She didn't expect this side of him, cause all she knows is that.. this guy was a loud delinquent who loves fighting the other guild members. She then just nodded her head at his request.

Lisanna pouted at them. "Natsu.. I think that's enough head patting for now."

Natsu retracted his hand from Levy's head. "well.. I guess will be going then, see you later Levy." He waved at her.

Levy happily nodded her head. "I will tell you if I ever found a book about dragons."

Natsu smiled at her "I'll wait for that!" he said before walking away.

"see you around Levy!" Lisanna waved at the bookworm before following Natsu, with Levy waving back.

~end of flash back~

Lisanna sighed. 'good thing Levy was not that interested in Natsu.. I hoped."

As they sat back at the table, Levy took the book out of her bag to show it to Natsu. "here you go!" Natsu took the book from her.

"gee.. thanks!"

Levy smiled at him. "no problem! I learned a lot because of that book."

"hey Natsu?" Lisanna called. Levy and Natsu turned to her.

"since when did you like reading books?"

Natsu showed her the book. " you mean this?" Lisanna nodded. "well.. its just that I was researching for this new dragon slayer power that Levy and I recently discovered, and we just hope that this book will help me progress in my training." He finished explaining.

Lisanna tilted her head to the side. "new dragon slayer power?"

Levy nodded. "we discovered that there is a possible stronger form for a dragon slayer, which is way stronger than the dragon force form."

Lisanna widen her eyes a little. "wow, really? But where did you get this information from?"

"from a weird dude who wears glasses." Natsu plainly answered.

Lisanna sweatdropped. "isn't that a little suspicious? Did you at least got his name?"

Natsu made a thinking pose. "hmm.. I don't remember him saying his name but.. I do remember what he looks liked."

"oh? What does he looked like?" Levy asked.

Natsu closed his eyes to remember. "he has a messy black hair, brown eyes and he has a tattoo on his neck that say's: Ladia"

*BAM!*

The three mages jolted in shock as Laki Olietta -Fairy tail's wood mage- suddenly slammed her hand on their table.

"where is he?" she asked in a low tone, her eyes was hidden by her hair.

"huh?" Natsu, Levy, and Lisanna looked at her confusingly.

Laki grabbed Natsu by his vest and pulled him up to look at him eye to eye. "the man that you were talking about, WHERE IS HE?!"

Natsu was in complete shock as she stared at him with her eyes threatening to tear up. "I-I-I don't know.. I met him a long time ago before the S-class trials, so I don't know where he is by now."

Laki loosen her grip on his vest, Natsu sat back to his seat. Lisanna stood up and placed her hand on Laki's shoulder. "Laki, what's wrong? Why are you looking for that person?" she worriedly asked.

Laki looked down with saddened eyes. "the man that you were talking about…" she then looked at Natsu. "was my father"

.

~Natsu and Happy's house~

"looks like he's not here yet." The messy black haired man said as he looked around inside the house.

"so what do we do?" another man who had a short spiky green hair asked.

The black haired man looked up to think for a moment. "hmmm.. let's just leave him a note."

"you mean another clue?"

He nodded. He took out a paper on his pocket and placed it on a table. "there! Now let's go." The two unknown men walk out of the house.

'grow stronger Natsu Dragneel, we're counting on you' the messy black haired man thought with a smirk.

.

And that's it guys for chapter 6. So what do you think? Will Laki would be added to the harem? If you want to add her, then comment: Laki: yes if I got 10 of these comments then I'll add her. I'll see you again on chapter 7. Bye
