On with the story
School was soon over as Natsu and the others were heading home, well a copy of him
The original was in Irene's office, in the middle of talking with the headmistress
"Sayla Demonia?" Natsu said as he reads the information papers on Sayla who is stated as a freshmen and transfer student "her real or fake name?"
"who knows, your brother did some tinkering and transferred her to the school. And there's nothing I can do about it" Irene replied while sucking on her pipe and blows out some smoke "her papers were officiated in the education office, rejecting her transfer will draw suspicions here"
"I see" Natsu said as he placed the paper away before sighing "and you accepted her in, even after signing your allegiance to me"
"your brother's company is the school's number one benefactor, you should know that" Irene stated "losing such a valuable benefactor would not only cause the school to lose credibility, it also makes the reputation go downhill"
Natsu sighs again as she was right about it and he couldn't reject it
"that girl is dangerous, you should know that because of her aura. She isn't a normal mage" Natsu said, his eyes glowing a bit red and black at the same time
"I know that" Irene replied "but there's nothing I can do about it"
Natsu rubs his chin as he looks at Sayla's photo in the papers before sighing again
"just make sure that she doesn't do anything weird here, I already had enough stress for the day" Natsu said as Irene nodded
Natsu stands up before walking towards the door
The man soon stops as he sighs again before taking a glance to Irene who was blushing while looking at him with dreamy eyes
"women…" Natsu thought as a copy of him appeared before transforming into its demonic form
"take care of her till she can't walk" Natsu said as he leaves his copy to Irene who was licking her lips in delight
Hours soon passed as night quickly came
Natsu was at Éclair's home for the night, and Happy was with him
The blue feline rolls a ball of yarn in between its paws while Natsu was reading his book, and Éclair was cooking dinner
Natsu closed his book after he had decided that it was enough reading for one day, before he looks to Happy who was rolling the ball of yarn around
He chuckled in seeing him play before he looks to Éclair who walks to the dining table while holding a steaming pot with oven mittens
"I made stew chicken" Éclair said as she placed the pot down to the table
"smells good" Natsu said as he went to Éclair and sees her opening the lid, making the delectable and delicious aroma to come out
The two had dinner together as Natsu enjoyed eating Eclair's cooking
Natsu was in the middle of chewing his food when he sensed something
He immediately stands up and glance at the window, where he saw a shadow disappearing from his sight
"what's wrong?" Éclair asked, seeing Natsu's action
Natsu's eyes glowed red and black as he looks through the window and sees a shadowed figure jumping away
"nothing" Natsu said as he slowly sat down "just….nothing"
Éclair raised an eyebrow before not thinking about it anymore and focus back on eating dinner
The time came for midnight as the moon shines
Éclair was sleeping with Natsu as she rested her head on his bare chest, the two had some fun after dinner
Natsu holds her close and gently, not wanting to accidently scratch her with his demonic claws of hands as he kisses her forehead before hugging her closer to him
The room was quiet as only the sound of Éclair's light breathing filled the room
Natsu looks at Éclair as his finger gently trace her cheeks and to her chin
He smiles as she was adorable when asleep
Natsu caresses her cheeks a few times before he sensed something
He looks to the side and sees glowing blue eyes coming from the shadows
"you, huh?" Natsu said as he placed a Silence spell around Éclair, not letting any sound bother her while she sleeps. From the shadows, came out a white-haired young man who had an inhuman appearance. White fur all over his hands, white wolf like legs, a white long and furry wolf's tail, the young man had white long hair with the addition of wolf like ears on top. The young man wore white shirt and pants but they were covered in a coat of jagged ice "Cocytus"
The wolf man stepped out from the shadows, and the floor slowly freezes in ice
"hold back your curse, Éclair dislike the cold" Natsu said as he pulls the blanket a bit more to cover Éclair from the cold that was spreading
"I have come with a news for you" the wolf man stated while holding a scroll in his hand that soon floated towards Natsu who caught it "it'd be best if you do not stay at a normal home like hers"
"watch your mouth" Natsu said as his eyes turned reptilian red and darken in black "she's my beloved mate"
Cocytus merely looks at Natsu as his face didn't show any care
Natsu looks at the wolf man before opening the scroll and reads its content before it burns into ashes
"leave. I do not care of what he wants nor his needs" Natsu said as his eyes turned into a daggering glare at Cocytus "I am who I am, and no one can change that"
"if that is what you wish, but he has relayed a message for you" Cocytus replied as his eyes glowed blue a bit "the darkness within you can't be contained any longer"
"you are lucky that you're the only one of them that I can find trustworthy" Natsu said before his right eye glows red and ignites in flames, making him look like a flaming demon from hell "now get out"
Cocytus steps back into the shadows as he slowly disappeared
"heed the warning" Cocytus said as his eyes keep on glowing blue, while slowly melding into the darkness "when light exist..darkness exist too"
Natsu looks at the shadow and Cocytus' glowing blue eyes that soon disappears
"Natsu?" Éclair called out as she woke up while rubbing her eyes a bit "what's wrong?"
"nothing" Natsu replied with a smile as he laid down and pulled her close to his chest "just nothing"
"I see" Éclair said as she snuggles to his warm chest before slowly falling back asleep, not aware that Cocytus had come to her home
Natsu caresses her back before looking to the shadows of where Cocytus had appeared
He closes his eyes as he pulled Éclair closer, protectively holds her
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
