On with the story
A few weeks later
After winning the CMC, Natsu and the others were back in Magnolia
Éclair and the others were no longer expelled from the deal; Natsu made with Irene to which she kept. Only know, there is a slight problem for everyone
Lucy was walking towards school as she was joined by Éclair, Ikaruga, Ultear, and Cana who was drunk in the morning
"good morning" Erza who was at the front gate with Kagura greeted them with a smile
"good morning" Lucy and the others replied
"I tell that all of you have prepared for the coming holiday?" Erza asked as Lucy nodded
"already starting to make the schedule" Lucy said with a smile
"I'm going to drink all day long~!" Cana exclaimed drunk
"even in the morning" Kagura said sighing
"what about him?" Ikaruga asked as Erza points at the school where Natsu was crowded with news reporters, but at a closer look, the crowds were crowding a certain green haired princess
"the paparazzi never leaves, huh?" Mira said
Natsu sighs in annoyance as the crowd of paparazzi snaps their cameras with bright flashes
"when will the wedding be held!?"
"after graduation"
"are you truly going to be living here!?"
"yes"
"will the King retire in a few months!?"
"no"
"will you learn magic!?"
"yes"
They bombarded with questions as Hisui who was with them answered them while smiling
"why me?" Natsu muttered out
Flashback
A few weeks before
At the Mercurius Palace Ball
"I've decided that my future husband will be you, Natsu Dragneel" Hisui said smiling to Natsu who just looks in pure confusion
"huh?" Natsu said, his mind still processing what she had just said
"Princess! You truly must be joking!" Arcadios exclaimed
"right! You can't truly be in love with the boy, right!?" Toma exclaimed as he was in pure shock
"I've decided it the moment I laid eyes on him, Father" Hisui said as she laid a hand on Natsu's chest and feels his heartbeat "he was the one….my future King"
"Kaaaaboooo!" Toma exclaimed in shock before he passed out
"My King!" Arcadios exclaimed as guards went to the passed out King
"I wish to be with him" Hisui said looking to Arcadios "please tell father that I will go and live with my future King in his hometown"
Arcadios gawked before he too passed out
"w-w-what's going on?" Lucy said as everyone couldn't believe what they were hearing nor seeing at all
flashback ends
Natsu sighs as the paparazzi had been chasing after them for weeks
"will the future King give a new heir after graduation!?" one news reporter asked as Hisui smiled while blushing a bit
"I would like it if our first child is a boy and then a girl" Hisui said while dreaming of her possible future children with Natsu
The cameras started flashing again as the news reporter writes down what she had just said while taking photos of her
"that's enough" Natsu said as he snapped his fingers and a powerful twister came and sucks in all the news reporter before sending them flying away
"oh my" Hisui said while holding a hand to her mouth
Natsu sighs as he was going to have a headache
"every single time I meet a girl, I always end up in a bad situation with them" Natsu muttered out before he looks and sees Lucy and the others coming towards them
Class soon start, and as we could guess it, Hisui was in Natsu's class
The princess sat beside Natsu's desk as she had requested to the teacher
"H- I mean Princess Hisui, please read out the text of the context of the Personian Magic Culture" the teacher said as Hisui stood up
"yes" Hisui said while holding her book and reads out the text
Meanwhile, Natsu was writing down on his notebook, while thinking of the past few days
flashback
The man was in Irene's office as she Scarlet Witch didn't had a happy look at all
"it was good and all that you won the CMC and saved your 'girlfriends' from being expelled" Irene said before setting her eyes on her table as there is a paper that has Hisui's information written on it "bringing along the countries' own princess who claims you as her future King…..what an unpleasant fate, I have"
"you bring me here just to complain?" Natsu asked having an unpleasant look
"if you know well, she is the princess of the Kingdom itself. Her safety is always prioritized 24/7 by thousands of elite soldiers" Irene said looking at Hisui's paper as it was a transfer paper "but now, she is transferring into my school to which you are also enrolled in"
"so?" Natsu asked
"so, you are to be her 'future husband' and bodyguard" Irene said sighing as she place the transfer paper away "normally, the King would assign his elite guards to be the bodyguards but the princess declined and insisted on you becoming it"
"what about the Seven Empress?" Natsu asked
"they would take the task, but they have a more important task at hand" Irene replied, making Natsu sigh in tiresome
flashback
"I pulled the short straw, huh?" Natsu thought before the teacher called out to him
"Natsu Dragneel, please read out the next part" the teacher said as Natsu stands up while holding his book
"yes" Natsu said before reading out his book "this is going to be a very tiresome school year"
The school bell rang as it signals Lunch Break
"soooo…" Lucy started off as the usual gang sat down but with the addition of Cana "anyone want to start with something here?"
No one said a word as their attention was to Natsu who had his hand hugged by Hisui who leans her head against his shoulder with a smile
"why is it that she is allowed to transfer in when it's in the middle of the freshman school year?" Mira asked as Hisui just skipped half of the school year
"you'll be surprised at how smart she is in the Transfer Exam" Erza said while drinking her cup of tea
Flashback
Erza looks in shock as she holds an exam paper that was marked a perfect 100 before looking to Hisui who awaits to receive her paper
Flashback
"no one has ever achieved a perfect score like hers" Kagura added in "and I mean, ever"
"wow" Lucy said, in pure awestruck before looking to Hisui and Natsu
"do you have a hobby?" Hisui asked Natsu who drinks his cup of tea
"reading" Natsu replied
"favorite food?" "anything will do" "favorite color?" "red" "did you dye your hair?" "no" "favorite past time?" "reading while petting Happy"
Hisui questioned him many times as Natsu just answers them
"this is more like a get to know each other talk" Lucy said sweatdropping
"have you had your first kiss?" Hisui asked as this strikes an interest to the other girls, except for Éclair and the others
"yes" Natsu replied as he sets his cup down
"is it someone in this room?" Hisui asked again as this got the girls more interested
"no" Natsu said with a small frown "not them…."
Éclair and the others sees the frown and sees the sadness in Natsu's eyes
"who?" Hisui asked but Natsu didn't respond
Thinking that it was a too private question, Hisui stopped questioning
A few hours soon passed as school was over
Natsu and the group were walking around the hall with the addition of Cana and Hisui with them
"only 2 more days and hello Holidays" Lucy said with a grin "I can't wait to go to the mall and so much more"
"better not slack off too much" Mira said "after the holiday, the Rank Advancement Exam comes in"
"Rank Advancement Exam?" Cana asked looking confused before drinking a bottle of beer
"it's the Final Exam for the school year" Erza explained "they will give you an Intelligence and Psychic exam to determine what level you shall be in the second year"
"the psychic exams are usually the same each year; but the Intelligence exams are always random" Kagura added in "last year was a test, and the year before that, a labyrinth, and so on"
"we'll be lucky if they pick a test, I can't do riddles and stuff" Mira said "makes my head hurt too much"
"I can see that" Lucy said
The group walks to the first floor where they encountered Minerva who seems different
"thought that you were a different person there" Mira said as Minerva had a pure look to her
"is that so?" Minerva asked while combing her hair a bit "is it weird?"
"no" Natsu answered "you look more natural this way"
"I see…thank you" Minerva said with a nod
"it's nearly time for the Literature Club to start" Lucy said while looking at her watch
"the Judo Club too" Mira said looking at her Lacrima Phone for the time
"very well, let's meet again tomorrow" Erza said as everyone else nodded
Natsu soon glowed as his clones appeared before going off with the others
"was that..Illusion Magic?" Hisui asked while looking amazed to the copies who went with the others to their clubs
"no" Natsu replied "it's a Body Splitting Magic"
"amazing…" Hisui said as the copies went off with everyone to their clubs "but why use such magic?"
"I'm in all the school clubs, and this is the easiest way for me to be at them all at the same time" Natsu answered her as Hisui nodded in understanding "come on, I'll take you home"
Natsu offered her a hand as Hisui looks to it before holding it
The two then walks off as they leave the school ground
In the Photography club, Kamika was in the middle of assorting some photos in the room
She holds a few pictures as it had Natsu in them
Kamika smiled while blushing as she truly admired Natsu's handsome face
"so handsome~" Kamika said while holding the photos to her chest "it's not fair that I can't be with you"
"is that so?" a voice spoke, surprising Kamika while making her scream a bit
She turns and sees Natsu sitting by a chair near the door
"yo" he greeted her while having his legs crossed and his arms on his knee "been well?"
"o-oh! It's just you.." Kamika said while trying to calm her heart "y-yes, I've been well"
"I see" Natsu said as he grabs a camera and looks at it "I still see that you are admiring your taken photos"
"y-yes, I do" Kamika said as she felt nervous for some reason
"you know, I never do know why I would be in furious with someone taking photos of me" Natsu said as he activates the camera and looks through it before looking to Kamika "do you know why?"
"um…I don't understand…" Kamika said while bead of sweat slides down her cheeks
"you don't? strange" Natsu said as he took out from his pocket, photos of him making out with Éclair and the others "I could've sworn that I smelled your scent on these photos"
The photos soon burned in flames as Natsu scrunched their ashes
Kamika took a step back before the windows in the room shut and the curtains falls down, mysteriously.
Magic circles appeared all over the room as they glowed before dimming
"why?" Natsu asked his eyes glowing a bit red "why did you took those pictures and gave it to that witch?"
Kamika gulped as she was in trouble
"was it for you to succeed in the school years with ease? Was it to be an Empress with ease? Or was it money?" Natsu asked as Kamika frantically looks for a way to escape but there was none "I suggest that you answer truthfully"
Natsu's eyes went reptilian for a second as they were hostile look
"I hate liars" Natsu growled out as scales runs up his neck
Kamika gulped as she had two choices; either tell him why or face his wrath
"..i…" Kamika muttered out as her lips parted for a moment before shutting close
"you..what?" Natsu asked as Kamika stood there in silence which made him sigh "very well then"
Natsu stood up from his seat as he made his way towards Kamika and holds her chin
"if you do not speak the truth.." Natsu said as his pupils glowed red and he sees through Kamika's mind "..i'll look it in your memories"
Kamika looks at Natsu's eyes as they glowed red before dimming
"I see now" Natsu said as he saw Irene telling Kamika to take the pictures for her "she wanted to expel them but needs some sort of proof, huh?"
"what did you…" Kamika muttered out as Natsu lifts her chin up and looks at her eyes again
"why do such things? Unless she threatened you?" Natsu said his eyes glowing red again before they squinted a bit to see the answer "so that's it, huh?"
Kamika gulped as she didn't know what Natsu was doing to her
"you are in love with me so much that she would offer you some time with me, huh?" Natsu asked as Kamika's eyes widen a bit to his statement "is it true?"
"y-yes…." Kamika answered as there was no point in hiding "…e-ever since…the Festival…"
"ho? You would take the deal just for some time with me, is that it?" Natsu said as his eyes glowed red and sees Kamika's memories during the Field trip at Corona Town
He sees her looking at him and Éclair, walking together with hands intertwined. Then to him being with Ultear and Ikaruga before Cana
"you're a lovesick girl, aren't you?" Natsu asked sounding amused as Kamika tried to retort but no words came out "are you truly…or rather yet…is your heart truly yearning for me?"
Kamika looks at him as Natsu smiled to her while awaiting her answer
"….y-yes….i-I am in l-love with you…" Kamika stuttered out as Natsu hummed in hearing her answer
"I like that honesty of yours" Natsu said before he grabbed her waist and took her lips, causing her eyes to widen in shock
Kissing for a good one minute, the two separates as Kamika was out of breath and was in pure shock
"you are a fine girl…" Natsu said as his hand caressed the side of her blushing cheeks "…and I don't think Éclair and the others would mind"
"w-what do you-hyaa!?" Kamika asked before yelping as Natsu gropes her chest and caresses her neck
"let me satisfy that lust of yours" Natsu said as his eyes glowed black
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
