On with the story
Natsu walked in the hallway as he made his way to Irene's office prior to her orders
"soon, I'll dethrone her" Natsu said as he arrived at Irene's office and was about to open the door, when it opened itself by none other than Kyria
"well, isn't this a pleasant surprise? Just the man who I wanted to talk too" Kyria said with a smirk
"what do you want now, psycho?" Natsu said crossing his arms
"nothing much, just want to ask you something" Kyria said before leaning her mouth to his ears "how much children can you give me?"
Natsu keens his eyes as he pushed her away before going into the office
Kyria licks her lips before she smirks
Inside the office, Natsu finds Irene sitting on a couch with a chess game set on the table
"take a seat" Irene said as she holds a glass of wine in her hand
Natsu took the seat across to her as he crossed his arms
The two stared at each other as Irene smiles to Natsu who looks unamused to her
"you've played chess, haven't you?" Irene asked as she waves her finger up and a white pawn piece moved forward
"what are you planning now?" Natsu said as a black pawn piece moved on its own
"planning? What are you talking about?" Irene asked amused as another of her pawn piece moved
"my father told me that you're a cunning woman" Natsu said as another black pawn piece moves forward "you're planning something, something dangerous"
"clever" Irene said sipping her wine while her bishop piece moved forward "but time is not yet on my side"
Natsu keens his eye as another one of his pawn pieces moved forward
"time is like a sand hourglass, the sand always goes down and never goes up. preparation takes lots of time and patience to do," Irene said as her knight piece moved out while she drinks her wine "although, you would know that due to your brother's teaching"
Natsu's left eye went black as his Bishop piece moved out
"I have patience, but I do not have time on my side. It took me time to become who I am today, and it took me time to find you, The son of Igneel" Irene smirks as her pawn piece moved forward and took out one of Natsu's pawn piece "fate is such a mysterious thing, isn't it? I've heard of what you've been doing during the summer break, he was relentless on having freedom, didn't he?"
"did my Uncle told you?" Natsu said as his pawn piece moved forward "did he?"
"maybe? Maybe not?" Irene replied as her queen piece moved forward "we may once be comrades in arms, but there are limits to how 'friendly' we are to each other"
Natsu looks at her as the heat in the room was rising
"what is your aim?" Natsu said as his rook piece moved out
"aim? Not aim" Irene said finishing her wine before it refills itself "but a dream"
Irene's Knight piece moved out as it formed a line with the other pieces
"I envisioned myself having more power than before, and having more pleasure with joy than anything that I've ever felt before" Irene said smirking as her pawn piece took out Natsu's rook "I envisioned myself having you"
Natsu's right eye went reptilian as the room temperature was rising even more
"the Fire Dragon King's Flames, and the Sage Dragon's wisdom. Alone they are merely powerful, but joined together; their offspring will be unstoppable" Irene said as her queen piece moved forward towards Natsu's king piece "isn't that a beautiful dream?"
"you sicken me" Natsu said as his rook piece moved and took out Irene's queen piece before it was took out by her bishop
"have you not thought of yourself this question before?" Irene said as her glass of wine floats and she place a hand to her chest "'I want to find him but I do not know how to'?"
Flames appeared around Natsu's shoulder as they rage around him
"the answer to that question is very simple" Irene said as she reached a hand towards Natsu "be my lover, give me your child and your loyalty, and everything shall be yours"
Natsu looks at her as he scoffed and stands up
"now I see why Uncle told me to always be warry of you" Natsu said as he walked towards the door
"leaving the game?" Irene said pulling her hand down before placing a finger to her lips "it's bad to leave when the game is just getting interesting"
"it's already over" Natsu said as he snapped his finger and his rook piece moved and Irene's king piece was cornered from all sides by the rook, pawn, bishop, and knight
Irene hummed in amusement as she lost the game to Natsu who performed a checkmate without her knowing
Natsu leaves the room as he closed the door shut
"they may be related by blood, he is so unlike you" Irene said with an amused smile
Natsu's king piece floats up as it went to her
"the king….huh?" Irene said holding the king piece before grasping it "let's see how long the game will continue?"
The next few days came and passed as Natsu was by the pool doing some stretching while wearing his swimming trunks
Demonic Natsu was floating around reading a magazine in hand, from how and where did he even get it in hand
"school field trip, huh? Sounds fun" Demonic Natsu said his voice changed a bit
"what's with you and your voice?" Natsu said spreading his arms to the side before he twists his arms to the back, causing some of his bones to make crack sounds
"my original voice is getting hoarse; this voice sounds more inviting once I get your body" Demonic Natsu replied while flipping his magazine "what? you like my original voice better?"
"like hell I care" Natsu said before he finished doing stretches and dives into the pool
"hmmm, now that I think about it. You're the original Natsu, right?" Demonic Natsu asked looking away from his magazine "or are you one of his personality?"
Natsu surfaces up as he wipes off the water in his hair
"do I look like a copy?" Natsu replied as he gives the astral figure a glare
"guess the glare answers that" Demonic Natsu said before going back to read his magazine
Natsu soon dives back into the water as he swims around in the water
There was only one week before the School field trip, Natsu and the others were doing their regular basis schedule every single day before the coming trip, yet by having a single hindrance
Natsu surfaces up as he spits out some water before he got grabbed from behind by Kyria who came out of nowhere
"got you~" she whispered before pulling Natsu down into the water
Natsu pries her hands off him as he looks to her and sees that she is not wearing anything
Kyria smirks as Natsu glares at her before resurfacing up
"this girl is god damn relentless" Natsu said as he swims his way to the edge but Kyria grabs his waist
"don't go yet, we still haven't had our meal together" Kyria said licking his neck
Kyria has been troubling Natsu and the others in school as she always appears to try and seduce Natsu into having sex with her so much that she would say it out loud for others to hear
Natsu's eyebrows twitched before the water started boiling
Kyria purred as she rubs her hands around his chest before to the tie around his trunk
"come on, it'll feel real good for both of us" Kyria said smirking lustfully
Natsu took a glance at her as his eyes were reptilian
The water soon boiled to the point its evaporating
Kyria sweated a bit before she smirks and let go of him
"fine..not in the pool" Kyria said getting out of the pool before going to the bench and drapes a towel over her shoulder "in the shower then?"
Natsu looks annoyed to her before he gets out of the pool and walks out while grabbing his bag
Ultear was coming in as Natsu stops her from going to the pool by shaking his head and points to where Kyria was
"Kyria, huh?" Ultear said before the two leaves the area
"party pooper" Kyria said before going into the showers
Natsu and Ultear went to the Kenjutsu Club as they enter in and finds Ikaruga in a practice match against one of his Body Copy; the personality Amusement
"you have a brother?" Ultear said seeing the other Natsu "a twin?"
"no" Natsu replied as the two stopped
Natsu and his copy walked against each other before the copy disappeared back into him
"brought a guest, I see" Ikaruga said seeing Ultear before she sheathes her sword "I'll prepare tea then"
Ikaruga went to make tea while Natsu and Ultear settled down
"you joined two clubs?" Ultear asked seeing how Natsu joined her club and Ikaruga's club
"all of them" Natsu said taking out his book to read before Ikaruga came and sat down beside him, with a tea set in hand
"it's rare to see you not killing someone, Ikaruga" Ultear said seeing how Ikaruga served Natsu his tea
"not exactly" Natsu said before he dodges a knife attack from Ikaruga "she pretty vents on taking me out when I least expected it"
"one day" Ikaruga said giggling with her smirk on before she started pouring tea for another cup, that is Ultear's
"I guess it's true that you turned those who you defeated in a Magic Duel into your servants," Ultear said holding her cup of tea
"it's not" Natsu said sipping his tea "I care only for having friends, I despise the words servant or any words that can relate to it"
"how do I know that you're not just saying it to get on good terms with me?" Ultear asked sipping her tea a bit
"do you see Ikaruga always serving me when I want? She can reject my offer of friendship anytime she wants, yet she chose to accept it" Natsu said holding his cup of tea before drinking it "and I'm glad that she chose to accept"
"I find that as a very kind compliment, Natsu-han" Ikaruga said closing her eyes before she sips her own cup of tea
"it was" Natsu added in with a small smile
Ultear looks at Natsu as he seems kind but at the same time, she can feel that he has a mysterious aura that can't be described
They soon heard an explosion coming from the hall as Natsu sighs
"I can tell that has something to do with Kyria already" Natsu said as he sips his tea
"it would seem that Kyria found out of your body copies" Ikaruga said amused before drinking her tea
"you psycho bitch!" "crazed lunatic!" "get your hands off of him!" they soon heard shouting as it sounded like Erza, Kagura, and Mira
"I wonder if the school will survive with them doing this?" Ultear said not wanting any part of the rumble
In the hallway; Mira, Erza, and Kagura were glaring at Kyria who stood in front of them while behind them were Lucy, Éclair, and the body copies of Natsu
"hey, hey. It's not nice to share, you know?" Kyria said having a crazed grin "why don't you guys share one of him?"
"no way in hell! you're a psycho bitch! All you think of is having sex!" Mira shouted pointing a finger at her "you're just a crazy love monkey!"
"that's not what you think when we had our little game" Kyria said licking her lips as Mira's face went furious in anger
"leave now, Kyria" Erza said holding her sword "or punishment is in order"
"really? Miss 'please forgive me, Kyria-sama'?" Kyria said looking to want to laugh
Erza glared at her as she grips the handle of her sword tight
"why are you even here?" Kagura said holding the hilt of her sword "you always leave after school is over"
"who knows? Maybe it's because of Salamander" Kyria replied smirking
"this bitch is insane" Mira said as her hands transformed into part of her Satan Soul
"just stop" one of the Natsu copies said to her "this is just a waste of time and energy"
"listen to your master, Mira. He knows better than you" Kyria said smirking as Mira gritted her teeth hard
"this is why we shouldn't be here today" another Natsu copy said looking annoyed
"don't say that, being with the girl is fun!" another one said grinning
"it really is!" "yeah" "boring" "I want to sleep" "I'm hungry"
While the Copies of Natsu chatters, Lucy and Éclair sweatdrops seeing their conversation
"I get that body copy is great magic and all. but splitting personality is never good" Lucy said as Éclair nodded in agreement
"the score is me 1 and you three 0. Don't you want to even the score?" Kyria said taunting Erza and the others
"she asked for it!" Mira exclaimed as she dashed towards Kyria with a black energy sphere in her hands
Kyria smirks as her hands were covered in magic aura that took the form of blades
"Mira don't! she's set a trap for you!" Kagura exclaimed as both girls soon got close and were about to send their attacks against each other when Natsu appeared and deflected their attacks up
"every single day" Natsu said sighing as he pushed each other away
"Natsu?" Mira said before seeing the other copies of him disappearing
"I've been looking for you" Kyria said smirking "the finest meat is always the original one"
"what do you want now?" Natsu said crossing his arms
"you know what I want" Kyria said licking her lips "I want you in me~"
"this girl is utterly disgusting," Kagura said hearing her words
"leave" Natsu said as he turns to walk away "I have no care for psychotic women like you"
"hmmm, is that the reason why the Sister died that day?" Kyria said making Natsu stop in his track "is it?"
"what did you say?" Natsu said taking a glance to Kyria as his eyes were glowing red
"I heard of your little dramatic past from the Headmistress, apparently you're the reason why a certain orphanage is now a graveyard" Kyria said as red scales climbs up Natsu's neck "don't you remember? How the Sister died of blood loss after she was attacked by a rabid monster? How she tried to protect the poor and poor children from it?"
"Natsu, don't listen to her. She's just making things up" Erza said to Natsu as she thought that Kyria was trying to provoke him
"am i? haven't you all heard of the Bloody Orphanage? The tragic incident 10 years ago?" Kyria said smirking
"the Bloody Orphanage…." Lucy muttered out "but how does that have to do with Natsu?"
"simple" Kyria said before pointing her finger at the man "he's the reason why the Sister and the orphans died that day"
"what?" Erza said as everyone looks surprised
"not only that, he was an orphan like the others" Kyria said "lost his parents, he was sent there to be taken care by the Sister there. The Sister and the rest of the children showed him kindness, caring, and love. Yet he returns it by taking their lives away"
"silence…" Natsu muttered out as he clenches his fists tight
"they loved him like their own family, but he killed them all like a bunch of flies" Kyria taunted "blood splattered everywhere, the children killed and burned, the Sister had her organs ripped out and blood all around her own body"
"silence…." Natsu growls out as his fists turned into claws
"the news said that it was an attack of a wild beast. but the police covered it up because they couldn't find the real culprit" Kyria smirks "you"
"SILENCE!" Natsu shouted as he spins around and punched his claws out that unleashed a blazing torrent of flames at Kyria who keeps on smirking before swinging her hands to the side, splitting the flames
"that's it! More!" Kyria exclaimed swinging her leg up, creating a magic slash that tore through the floor
Natsu punched his fists out as flames rages at the attack, burning it away before the flames came at Kyria
"Natsu! Stop!" Erza exclaimed but her warning fell deaf
Natsu swings his hands back before slamming them forward as a sphere of flames soon rages in front and fired towards Kyria
Kyria's hands were covered in magic aura before it sharpens into a magic blade
She spins before swinging her hand at the flaming sphere that was cut in half
Natsu growls as he slammed his fist straight through the ground before taking out his golden blade
"a blade, huh?" Kyria said licking her lips "let's see whose blade is sharper!"
Natsu and Kyria dashed towards each other as they swing their blade against each other, causing a shockwave to blow out
"what power!" Kagura exclaimed nearly losing her balance when she felt the shockwave
Natsu's blade clashed with Kyria's blade as both pushed against each other before they started swinging their swords around at each other, deflecting each other's attack
"fast!" Lucy exclaimed seeing blurs of fast blades going against each other
Both blades clashed against each other before they slammed at each other while Natsu and Kyria got face to face
"you're the first guy to have ever faced me head on and still live!" Kyria exclaimed smirking before she got a headbutt to the forehead by Natsu
Natsu's right leg ignites in flames before he swings it at Kyria who swings her own leg to block
The floor instantly cracks as their kicks were strong and heavy at the same time
"nice fire." Kyria said smirking "I wonder how it taste?"
Natsu took a breath before he fires out a torrent of flames at Kyria who dodge it
The breath attack, hits the wall at the end of the hall before creating a powerful explosion that shook the entire school
"Natsu! Just stop! You're going to destroy the school!" Kagura shouted as smoke covered the entire hallway
Natsu swings his sword around before he reached his left hand to the side and the black red katana appeared
he spins the two blades in his hands before he holds them to the side
"phew, that was some firepower" Kyria said as she appeared out of the smoke with some burn wounds on her entire left arm "good thing I dodged it in time"
"she survived against it!?" Lucy exclaimed in surprise
"she's an S-rank for a reason" Mira said knowing how tough, Kyria is
Natsu growls as black markings were soon spreading around his neck
"that's enough" a voice spoke as everyone looks behind to see Natsu with Ikaruga beside him "I've seen enough"
"wait what?" Mira said looking to the other Natsu who disappeared "a body copy!?"
"so the real one wasn't fighting the whole time!?" Kagura said in surprise
"why should i?" Natsu said while holding his cup of tea before drinking it "it's not worth sacrificing my teatime just to fight her"
"big words for a wimp" Kyria said tauntingly "you just don't have the guts to fight me head-on"
"if that what it takes to have some teatime, then yes. I don't have the guts" Natsu said sipping more of his tea "and you should be more warry of your mouth"
"why's that?" Kyria replied as Natsu smirks in response
Kyria raised an eyebrow before she saw a vision of her head severed from her neck by a flaming sword
"or you'll see if there are dragons in heaven" Natsu said as he turns to leave with Ikaruga following "anyone up for more tea?"
Mira and the others look at Natsu before to each other and shrug their shoulders before they went and follow them
Kyria was left behind as her eyes were wide in surprise before her lips curved into a lust-crazed smirk
Natsu and the others went in the Kenjutsu Room where Ultear was waiting there with a copy of Natsu beside her
"sorry for the wait" Natsu said as he sat down with Ikaruga sitting beside him "had fun with this guy?"
"he is fine, but his constant smiling is creeping me out" Ultear said as Kind Natsu was the one who accompanied her
"I am kindness, I must always smile" Kind Natsu said before he disappeared back into Natsu
"are you really the real Natsu?" Mira said taking a seat "not some copy of his personality?"
"no" Natsu replied before he was given tea by Ikaruga but it was a bit cold. So he touched the body of the teapot and heats it up "I'm the original"
"he's the original, alright" Lucy said smiling "I know it"
"how do you know that?" Kagura said not seeing the way to differentiate a clone with an original
"we sensed his magic, it's the same as he usually has" Éclair explained,
"sensed?" Erza said before everyone looks to Natsu and felt his magic
"warm, your magic aura is warm" Kagura said as Natsu smiled in response before he drinks his tea
"his clones had different auras with them" Éclair said "anger, joy, kindness, happiness, sloth, all of them are based on the human personality. This is what makes Body Copy, powerful and weak magic at the same time"
"have been reading, haven't you?" Natsu said getting poured more tea by Ikaruga
"yes, and also" Éclair lifts both hands up as she creates an illusion of a yellow bird that flew around before landing in her arms and disappear "I've been practicing hard"
"with more practice, you can make that illusion real life" Erza said as Éclair nodded
"even better than what Lucy is training to do" Mira said snickering
"Mira-san!" Lucy exclaimed
"what was she trying to do?" Ikaruga asked interested
"she made a whip made out of light and when she tried to swing it, it hits her face. Hahaha" Mira laughed as Lucy puffs her cheeks hard
"Mira-san!" Lucy yelled as Mira just laughs at her
"that's what you get for not focusing" Natsu said drinking his cup of tea "I'm starting to think that I should level up your training. How does the sound of meditating in boiling water do?"
"I don't want that!" Lucy exclaimed as Mira laughs even more
The group chatters as Ultear looks at them being so happy with each other
"never thought that having friends was fun, huh?" Erza said seeing how Ultear's reaction to the others
"I never knew" Ultear said "he is a strange man with a strange power"
"that's what makes him Natsu after all" Erza said looking to Natsu with a smile
that's a wrap!
Bye bye
