Opening Song: V.I.P from Magi (2nd Part)
Shita o mite warau Yori mo ue o mite Zetsubou shitai
"motto" kuchiguse ga ii
(A girl with long pink-haired, tied into a high ponytail, is seen walking ahead of us down at the hallway of the palace, before stopping and look at the window beside her, revealing a smiling face of Natsu/Etherias. At the window were sakura petals flying making her eyes follow it and when they landed at their balcony garden, she smiled widely before moving away, while our view zooms to the balcony.)
Oto ni duuji o tsuketagaru kyuukaku ni Taketa ano hito eh
Ima ore wa ikutsu dai? Kikasete
(At the balcony were Wendy, Carla, Happy and Lily, having a picnic, is watching as the flowers fall from the tree they bloom at, which is planted beside them, and flies away. They look at each other before standing up and walk towards the doorway where Invel, who adjusted his glasses, is standing at and when they passed him, he followed. Sakura petals cover the view.)

Fushigi to tobira no mukuo ni wa V.I.P nanoru yatsu wa naku
Daremo ga kunuo no hate sa ore mo
(The next scene is Natsu standing beside Zeref, who is sitting at the chair of the throne room, leaning his cheek on his fisted hand while the elbow of the said hand is leaning at the armchair, both of them smirking. In front of them are the Spriggans standing in a straight line, either smirking, leering, or smiling. Then suddenly the rest of the siblings arrived and went towards the older ones, followed by Aoi, who flew towards his mistress and lands at Natsu's shoulder. The said princess glance at her pet before looking back at us and raised her hand, which made Aoi flew and then blue flames began to surround him and everything was white before revealing…)
Sutakkaato ni kizanda
(The Fairy Tail mages, who are standing in front of their guild, smiling sadly. Makarov and Mavis standing in front of them with the same facial expression. However, Romeo, Asuka, and Gray weren't there. Sakura petals cover the view.)
Hagireyoku aruita michi ja nai kedo
Sotto negai o kometa
(Romeo and Asuka were seen next in the forest where they created a small altar for their missing family members, kneeling and praying. Before they stood up and look at the sky, smiling and then they both walk away holding each other's hands and it tightens slowly, showing as a sign of comfort. Sakura petals cover the view.)
Ano hi no shounen wa ima kono keshiki nani, omou darou?
Saa uchinuke
(Next to being seen was Gray leaning at the wall of his house, of Natsu's house, found in the middle of the forest looking at the small garden he created, filled with flowers that reminded him of their missing family members before grabbing a Gaillardia flower from its bush near him and twirls it and watch as the strong wind blew the petals away and Gray could only watch it, a few petals flew away as well. Sakura petals cover the view.)
Akogare o ima tsukanda
Mi o yudanereba ii kaji wa kono te ni
(Next scene is Gray and Etherias passing each other in the market of Magnolia before Etherias stopped and look back and watched Gray walk away from her with his shoulders slump before she turned and walks away, and then it was Gray's turn to stop and watches her as she walked away, images of Natsu flashes before his eyes before he closed them and smiles before walking away. Gaillardia petals cover the view.)
Mittsu kazoete the showtime
Daikansei no namari ni kokochiyoku utareta nara
(And the next scene was two cliffs facing each other, strong winds blowing. On each cliff stood the Fairytail mages and the Alvarez rulers and shields. The Fairy Tail mages are standing in line, frowning, while their enemies were smirking at them, except the princes and princesses who are smiling, the smiles, however, are cold and give them shivers. However, it was only Gray who had his eyes widen slowly upon making eye contact with the Heiress, who was smiling gently at him. Thunderflashes in the background, followed by a white flash.)

(Previously)
"Erza," Makarov called, making her look at him. "You will stay in isolation in your dorm for 2 weeks and banned from entering the guild for 2 weeks after your isolation is over."
A gasp could be heard all over the place, even Mavis was shocked by the punishment the Titania was receiving, but she understood what needs to be done and thus she can't do anything. Even Gildarts approve of it. Erza was lucky she wasn't removed from the guild.
"But Master!" Erza started to protest, a vein pops out from Makarov's forehead.
"NO BUTS!" He roared. "Foolish child! You never should have allowed your emotion to take control! Now an innocent civilian, who just went through horrible things, is in this place and away from the comforts of her home! Stay in your dorm and reflect on what you have done!"
Lucy and Gray looked at Erza, who merely nodded and went out of the hospital, tears forming in her eyes.
"How is she, Doctor?" Gray asked as the said doctor stopped in front of them.
"She's fine. You manage to bring her here just in time, however, any longer and she would have died due to blood loss." The doctor told them, this made the masters close their eyes regretfully, while Gray and Lucy watch the teens, who were biting their lips. "She also had broken ribs and a cracked arm, her right leg also got cracked."
"What about her back?" Lucy asked. "We heard a loud thump when she hit the tree. Were there any damages on her spine?"
"Fortunately, her spine is fine." This made them sigh in relief. "Though she has a huge bruise on her back, she'll probably need to lay down on a soft area until that bruise heal. But the magic mostly focuses on the front, and the sound that you probably heard is the magic hitting the tree."
"Is that all she has?" Romeo asked the doctor sighed dejectedly.
"Unfortunately, No. But that pieces of information are the only ones I'm willing to share. It's up for the family members to tell you what else she has sustained."
"Nastu…" Zeref whispered, looking at the sleeping face of the Fire Dragon Slayer with an oxygen mask covering the mouth. "They'll pay for this…"
"Will we attack now?" Wendy mumbled, Zeref shakes his head.
"No. We can't attack with Natsu likes this. We'll wait for her to wake up and then… we'll destroy the fairy heart as revenge for what they've done to your sister."
"War follows right after." Wendy finished. Zeref nods at her, making her inhale deeply, and looks at Natsu's face.
"Natsu-nee," She called out, caressing her older sister's face. "They'll pay for this… and for the pain that they cause us all those years ago. They will regret this Onee-sama…These pain they are giving you… they will pay for this, so wake up please." She sobbed and leaned on Natsu's side, crying.
"They'll pay for this, Wendy… We will show no mercy." Zeref swore as he listens to his younger sister crying, as he looked at the face of his beloved sister
"Your cousin lost a lot of blood, but fortunately, the Fairy Tail Mages managed to deliver her here on time. Other than blood loss, she had two broken ribs, a cracked left arm, and right leg. Her back also had a huge bruise, a sign that she flew straight into something hard."
"We manage to put her in a room where our softest bed is stationed, to avoid any back pains. We also notice that she was slightly malnourished, pale, and seem stress. Considering that you're new here, there's probably a good reason why she's in that state. But… the back of her skull had a fracture and it slowly causes the brain to swell."
"I'm sorry, but because of the condition of her body and the injury she received, your cousin's in a coma."
(Bloody 23:The Start of something… unknown)
It was near the end of the visiting hours when Makarov entered the room, and only him. His Fellow Guild Masters and his mages had left when it was obvious that the Akabane didn't want to talk to them anymore after an hour of them being in the room. But considering Makarov knew who the three are, he couldn't help but fear the consequence that will happen because of this, and thus he wants to talk to them alone. Convincing his companions was easy than he thought, seeing he was the one the trio talk days ago upon arriving at the guild, they all thought that the trio at least had a small glimpse of trust for the Second Grandmaster, they hope.
When they left the building, Makarov didn't immediately head towards the room, instead, he went out and into the garden of the hospital, hoping that time would lessen the anger of the Emperor and the Princess had, which something he doubted. He knew nothing of the children who they had abandon three years ago, unlike before where he knew that Natsu and Wendy would cool down after hours of being left alone. But he still decided to try what he usually do years go and he prayed to whatever Kami there is that it would work.
Only when he realized that visiting hours were about to end in the next 30 minutes, did Makarov move from his spot and went back to the reception desks, asking for the room of Natsu, whose sibling had file enough information about her to be admitted in the hospital. Knowing the room number, he then went to the floor where the floor is located, a dreadful feeling filling him up when the elevator began to lift.
When he arrived in front of the door, he inhaled deeply and exhaled softly, before raising a fisted hand when the door suddenly opens. He blinks and lowered his hand and looked at Wendy, who opened the door with a dark expression on her face. Without saying anything she moves to the side, making the Second Grandmaster see a pink-haired girl lying down on the bed with an oxygen mask on her face, sleeping, and the dark mage, Zeref sitting on the other side of the bed, facing him directly, holding Natsu's hand.
Said dark mage was glaring darkly at him, which made his palm's sweat, before he bravely entered the room, Wendy closing the door behind him. He continued to walk until beside the bed, where a chair placed in front of Zeref is located but he did nothing to sit on it, instead he continued to stand and waited for them to talk.
"Your mage did this." Zeref started slowly, minutes passed after Wendy sat down at the chair. Makarov merely kept his mouth shut, watching how Natsu's chest rise up and then fall rhythmically, Zeref eyes slowly turned red as his face turns into a snarl.
"Your mage did this!" He yelled, this made the master to close his eyes regretfully and bowed waist down.
"I apologize for what Erza had done." He said remorsefully. "I didn't-"
"You apologizing isn't going to do anything! MY SISTER IS IN COMA!" Zeref roared as his magic slowly began to form tendrils around him.
"I..."
"If you have nothing to say..." Wendy started. "Please leave..."
But Makarov didn't want to go, despite the separation, the conditions that they have formed, and despite the blood running in Natsu's veins, they are still family and he wants that to remain.
"Please... forgive me." He bowed waist-down, but Zeref merely snarled as Wendy stood up and looked at Makarov.
"We'll forgive you... but know this... the Alvarez with not let this go. You better prepare your mages... because if our sister won't wake up soon... there will be blood."
...
...
.
Makarov merely closes his eyes in regret and then left, shutting the door with a final click.
It was after 10 minutes did the conscious sibling spoke.
"This... was not part of the plan... wasn't it?" Wendy mumbled as she caressed the hand she was holding.
"No... it was not." Zeref agreed as he remembered the conversation they have before this all happen.
Flashback
(Yesterday at the Akabane Household)
Zeref stretched his arms above his head as he woke up from the short nap he and his siblings had, though from the looks of it he's the last one to wake up. His sisters were already in the dining room, talking to each other, Natsu gesturing with her hands while Wendy took down some notes. Yawning, Zeref sat down beside Natsu, grabs her hand, and played with it, while listening absentmindedly to their conversation. It was only when they were talking about Romeo and Asuka did he paid attention.
"Wait... what?" Zeref asked, looking at Natsu and Wendy, who both blinks at him.
"I will spend some time with Romeo and Asuka..."
"Why you?"
"..."
Slap!
Wendy and Aoi, who was perched at the cabinet behind the two sisters, winced when Natsu slapped her older brother's forehead without any hesitation or fear. Zeref groans and rubs his forehead, pursing his lips when looking at Natsu, shrinking down when she only looked at her with half-lidded eyes.
"Are you awake now? Remember what we talked about?"
Wendy had to bit her lips as her older brother seem to shrink down the longer her older sister keep her half-lidded eyes on him.
"Zeref-nii?"
"... Yes... I remember..." He pouted.
"Good...now... as I said, I will spend time with Romeo and Asuka. I will secretly follow behind them and if they will head to a place where there are no people around, like the forest for example, then I will pretend to be already there... what follows next will be constructed on the spot." Natsu told him removing her eyes from her Older Brother and back at Wendy, who had her lips pursed while frowning.
"But... what if the other mages will suddenly appear?" She asked. "What if something happens?" Natsu sighed at that and grabs her hand.
"I can't see the future like my Father, so I don't know what will happen. But Aoi will watch over me and if fairies did appear and then intentionally attempted to hurt me then that just gave us the perfect start of our plan... and I promise... I promise to merely gain the trust of Romeo and Asuka...If I get do get hurt in their process of attempted attack... then think of it as my way to gain the trust of those teenagers." Wendy shakes her head as Natsu went and comfort her. Zeref merely stood up and hug them.
"If you gain a slight injury then we will think of it as that way... but if it's more than that... we will think you didn't plan it, at all."
"Hai." Natsu smiled reassuringly at them, which made them smile back with a hint of discomfort.
End of Flashback
'This is not a part of the plan.' Zeref thought darkly, his eyes turning red. Wendy looked at him, even though the curse has been removed from him, he still had his magic of dark magic, something she and Natsu always keeps an eye on. Not because Zeref they fear that would hurt them or that they feared him, but because of what he would do should he be consumed with rage or desire again. Certain events and experience that happens went it comes to his siblings, especially Natsu, getting hurt is something they like to avoid, a lesson they learn the hard way
"Zeref-nii..." Wendy called out softly, making him looked at her. "Calm down please..."
Zeref merely looked at her before looking back at the comatose family, and Wendy knew she failed in calming him down, although they've been siblings for three years, the only person to snapped him out of his darkness was Natsu, she was the only one that could do so, something that upsets the Sky Dragon Slayer. She doesn't want to be useless to her siblings, she wants to be useful... But if she can't snap her brother out of the darkness like Natsu can do, then she can only stand by his side and remind him that their sister is alive.
(The Next Day)
Gray was walking around the town, mindlessly. He just left the guild earlier, where the Master had told them that Erza would be staying away from the guild temporarily, the others had tried to ask for more information but they didn't receive any answers from them or him and Lucy, though Juvia tried her best to make him speak Gray's mouth was shut. When it was too much, he left the guild, aware of the eyes of their Master and Grandmaster on his back but none of them stop him, so he took it as a sign that it was okay.
He was passing the the hospital where Kira is stationed when he suddenly had this urge to visit her, and visit her he did. Though he really should have thought it through, such as bring gifts or flowers, if it just meant being avoid getting glared at by an overprotective dark-haired male, that was standing in front of the door with his arms crossed in his chest.
"What are you doing here?" Kuro literally growled, making Gray inhale deeply, and said.
"I…" or at least tried to…
"WHAT?!"
"…."
"Kuro-nii," Yuki called out softly, making said brother to look at her. "Lower your voice and calm down."
"Calm down?! He's one of the people that hurt your cousin!"
"He's also the one who helped her arrive in this hospital." Despite Kuro shouting at her, Yuki was calm, unbothered by the attitude her brother is showing.
"He didn't stop her!"
"Nii…"
"I'm sorry!" Gray bowed waist down, shocking Kuro and Yuki, who looked at her in shock. "I… should have to stop Erza, or better yet… I should have protected your cousin… but I merely shouted for my friend to stop… doing nothing… I'm sorry."
Kuro gritted his teeth, hearing what this man… this pathetic mage merely did while his cousin, his beloved sister, get hurt. Not wasting a minute, Kuro immediately grabs the collar of Gray's jacket and punched him in the face.
BAM!
Yuki merely blinked at the violence, as her brother panted rather heavily on top of the fallen Ice Mage, who merely looked at the floor he sat on.
"My cousin is in a coma due to your actions… I wonder if this how you would treat people you didn't know or you're suspicious of." Kuro then slammed the door shut, gently pushing Yuki inside, who merely grabs his hand rather tenderly and directed him to the chair, leaving Gray alone outside the room, with people staring at him before one of the nurses decided to help him with his busted and bleeding lip. Yeah… he really should have thought more about visiting the Akabanes'.
(Later that day, Romeo and Asuka)
Romeo and Asuka were heading towards the door where Kira-san was put at, the young girl carrying a get well soon bouquet, the teen a basket of fruit. They were about to knock at the door when they heard some people talking.
"We cannot ask them that!"
"But why not?! Kira is his partner! They can at least help us!"
"Have you forgotten their past with mages?! They told us that they have no guild, that they have each other… they are only six of them if we told them to fight this… this… mages then they'll be outnumbered!"
"Natsu was able to defeat the bandits just fine!"
"We are not asking them to revenge for Kira-nee! It would be like we are using them for our benefit and Kira-nee isn't a fan of that!"
"Then what do you want me to do?!"
"…You can at least try to talk to the Mayor or Master… if they won't do anything then we will ask help from Natsu and the others… but please… don't ask for their help just yet."
"…."
"Kuro-nii…"
"…Okay…"
It was quiet after that, Romeo and Asuka blink before they immediately opened the door without knocking. Startling the siblings inside the room, Kuro immediately stood in front of Yuki rather defensively and growled.
"Who are you?"
The young teenagers blush in embarrassment and close the door behind them as they bowed waist down.
"I apologies for our rudeness," Romeo said. "I'm Romeo and the girl with me is Asuka…"
"Fairy tail mages…" Yuki whispered fearfully, making her brother snarl and their guests flinched. "What are you doing here?"
"Yes… ah… well…" Asuka started before inhaling softly and kneeled on the floor followed by Romeo, both of them doing a dogeza. "We're here to apologize."
"Why?"
"We're the reason… Kira-san is in this hospital."
…..
…
…
…
"What?" Yuki had to grab her Older Brother's clothes. Said Older Brother was only a few more words away from pouncing at them.
"We're the reason why she's here."
"Please tell us what happens." Yuki immediately butted in, preventing her brother from speaking up. The teens straighten from their spot but didn't stand up, looks at them in the eye, and told them the whole story. During the whole story, one person, Aoi, who was perched above a cabinet of the room, was listening and watching them with keen eyes and ears, wondering if they would lie or change the story. Well, if they tried to lie, then theirs no stopping Zeref from rampaging, especially when he and Wendy barely managed to stop him from doing so when he first told them what happen. Lying would make things much, much¸worse, more so when he knew the whole story.
Flashback
(Yesterday, Akabane Household)
Aoi flew as fast as he can, in pain at the thought of leaving his Mistress injured and alone with the people who hurt her. But he needs to do this, he needs to let Zeref and Wendy know what happens, that the plan had turned for the worst. Sometimes he hates being a phoenix, he can't do anything, especially around people that aren't within their trusted circle. The citizens in Alvarez knew him, yes, but he is merely a flaming pet bird of their Princess, nothing more and nothing less.
Upon seeing their temporary home, with one window open, the Phoenix didn't hesitate and immediately dove inside the house, startling the rest of the siblings at his sudden landing at the coffee table that was centered on the couches they were sitting on.
"Aoi…" Wendy breathed out, before glancing at the door, thinking her older sister would come in soon. Zeref, however, kept his eyes on his sister's friend and pet, narrowing his eyes when the bird seems to be regaining his breath.
"No…" Zeref whispered as he slowly stood up from his spot, finally having an idea that something bad happens, especially with Aoi nearly panting and Natsu not entering soon after. Wendy looked at him then back at Aoi before her eyes widen.
"The Titania… She gravely injured Natsu…"
…
"What…?" Aoi watched as Zeref magic began to spread out like tendrils as if reaching out for whatever it was that tried to harm its master and family. In fact, Wendy had to stand up as one of the tendrils reach the vase in front of her and broke it. Seeing that, Aoi didn't say anything, not wanting to report his words in case it got worst. Luckily, Natsu had put a cloaking spell on their house in case they (Zeref) suddenly lose control of their Magic.
"Zeref-nii…" Wendy called out as Zeref's magic grew, and then rescinding at her voice. She then looked at Aoi, who knew what she wanted and without prompting told them the whole story, something that he shouldn't have done. When he was done, ending with his story that the Ice Mage was running Kira to the hospital, Zeref's magic went wild. Aoi had to jump and landed in front of his Mistress Younger Sister as the Dark Magic violently circled it's master that they both fear Zeref would obtain his curse again.
"ONII-SAMA!" Wendy shouted, flinching as her older brother's magic throw their things around the room. "Onee-sama is still alive! We can still go and save her!"
"Zeref!" Aoi shouted, urging his flames to burn brighter, but it seems that they can't seem to get through the Emperor… or so they thought. Slowly, unlike how it started, Zeref's magic went back inside of him, said mage was breathing heavily and clutching the pendant that he wore around his neck, his ground if Natsu wasn't around to do so. When he was calm and it was obvious that no dark magic would leak out anymore, the genius mage open his eyes and looked at his younger sister, who was looking at him worriedly, giving her a sad smile, something she returned with a brighter and understanding smile and grabs his hand. The two of them said nothing but they did turn and left the house as it was. The urge to know more about their beloved sister's situation is a lot stronger than fixing the house. Aoi merely glances at the house before following suit… should his mistress get mad, he'll just blame it on the siblings.
End of Flashback
(Present time)
By the end of the story, Kuro and Yuki were 'shocked' hearing what had truly happened to their cousin when she wasn't in their line of sight.
"So that's what happen…" Yuki mumbled before looking at her sibling, who was gritting his teeth and trembling in rage.
"That… that bitch!" He shouted and stood up from his spot and paced around the room. Yuki merely looked at him sadly before turning towards the young teenagers in front of her. "Is this the first time this happen?" She asked but Kuro butted in.
"The first time?! The fuck if this is the first time! I bet she already did it to someone else!"
"Kuro-nii!" Yuki reproached, missing the teens flinching, Kuro, on the other hand, notice.
"Are you serious?" He snarled, the teens merely nodded remorsefully, making him curse more. "Well it's very comforting to know that my cousin isn't the first victim of that bitch!" Yuki merely looked at the teens, watching their actions if they react badly to her brother's cursing and insults, but they did nothing. Other than looking at Kira and looking away soon after as if they were in pain themselves, they didn't react to Kuro's action at all. It was as if they agreed with her brother on the matters of the Titania.
"You keep glancing at my cousin." Yuki started after the nth time they glance at her precious person that was in a coma. "Why?"
Romeo looked at her in the eye before opening his mouth and spoke about the family members they lose because of the action of a certain mage, how they were the first that was attacked by Erza and Gray simply for being a blood relative and siding with an enemy. That resulted them to leave the guild and no information about them has been heard for three years, by the end of the story all Romeo called say was.
"Kira looked exactly like him… so… I guess that by every time we glance at her, it would be clear that she was not him… that she's not Natsu-nii."
…
"Did you just say Natsu? As in Natsu Dragneel, a Fire Dragon Slayer?" Kuro asked, clarifying if what he heard is true. The shock could be heard in his tone, probably the reason he stopped ranting and pacing. Romeo merely smiled and nodded.
"We figured you knew about him, Kira-san mentioned him during our talk yesterday. But yes, he is the one." Romeo and Asuka felt dread when the siblings glance at each other uncertainly, the smile on the Fire mage face dropping as they looked back at them.
"Natsu… didn't mention about being part of a guild… neither did his companions."
"…. I see…" Romeo mumbled as he and Asuka looked at the floor, biting their lips. Because of that, they missed the sight of Kuro and Yuki sharing another looked, before the former went and said.
"Can I ask one thing?"
"Hai?" Asuka asked, drained.
"Why are you still in the guild if that had happened?" That questioned made them look at the Akabane's, who wore a concerned expression.
"… Because our parents are in the guild… we grow up there." The Gun Mage answered, making Yuki tilt her head.
"But… your teenagers now… at least you are one… why didn't you just leave?"
"Our parents—"
"I bet your parents are willing to let you go if it's something you really want." Kuro butted in, the teens froze, thinking that statement over and over again in their head. Would their parents really let them go? But what if…
"Please tell us… why didn't you just leave?" Yuki asked, this time the teens answered the very thing they hold deep in their heart.
"Because… because we're hoping for Natsu-nii to come back… or at least to see us…" Tears dripped down from their eyes as they added. "We want to see Natsu-nii, Wendy-nee, Happy, Carla, and Lily… we want to see them, to be with them… doesn't matter if we have to be with Zeref as long as we're with them, we're happy!"
Yuki gave them as small smile, while Kuro nodded before looking at his cousin and touched her hand rather tenderly.
"Then…" He started, looking away from Kira, his eyes landing on them. "Why don't you come with us?"
"Eh…?"
"We went to this city to see for protection and a new life… but if the very person that was supposed to protect us did this… then we can no longer stay here," Kuro said, as he grabs Yuki's shoulders, grasping in reassuringly. "We will go to the very person that we know would protect us."
Hearing that Yuki looked at the older dark-haired male in shock, eyes widen at the admission.
"Wait… does this mean?"
"We won't ask for Natsu to fight them, seeing as they have a history. But we can ask for protection seeing Kira is his Partner."
"Wait… wait… you know where Natsu-nii is?" Romeo asked, standing up so abruptly, he knocked the chair to the floor. The Akabane's merely looked at him before shaking his head.
"No we don't… but if we really desired to search and in need of their assistance then we can find them."
"Or they'll find us. According to Natsu-kun, he and Wendy will know if we need something that only they can provide. The moment they knew about it, they will immediately search for us."
"Why didn't you ask for their help after the event in your village?" Asuka asked.
"We don't want to stress Kira so soon. Natsu and his group are travelling around, we want to stay in a place for a few years before asking for their help." Kuro said.
"But because of this… you'll be asking for their help a lot sooner." Romeo mumbled as he looked at the floor.
"That's right… When Kira can leave the hospital, we'll be leaving this place in search for Natsu… you can join us if you want to."
"Search for Natsu-nii…" Romeo and Asuka glanced at each other, unsure of what to do.
(Few hours later)
Zeref hummed as he patted the hair of his beloved sister, while Wendy went out to get some drinks. The teens they planned to manipulate had left a few minutes after the talk of searching for 'Natsu', dazed. The conversation had gone well, better actually, than he thought. He didn't think that they were a bit desperate of seeing his siblings that they seem to be eager to jump at the 'invitation' he hand out. The only thing seems to be stopping them is their parents and the probability that his brother would visit them here, which had already happen, they just didn't know it.
"It's starting Natsu…" Zeref whispered as he leaned his forehead to Natsu's. "We already planted the seed… we just need you to wake up, take some precautionary step, and then we will be leaving this place…" He then kissed his spot that he was leaning on, tears dripping down from his eyes.
"Please… wake up soon…"

A/N: Have a pleasant day and stay safe!
Reviews:
RelentlessIce: Thanks for the honest opinion! And yeah, I agree it's kinda disorienting for Natsu to turn back to male... in fact, I got used to him being male. I will talk this more with my friend who helped me with the ideas for the chapter, but we are mostly leaning to a certain gender Natsu should stay at, you will know more in the future, (^_^)V As for the injuries... so may I clarify if you want Natsu to have a few memory loss? Because I currently need to add something for the next chapter and I'm blank as of the moment. Thanks for the opinion, suggestions, and review! Have a great day!
Mio Ri Chan1: Thank you! I will try my best! ^_^
AsterDreams: You're making me blush! (0/0) I haven't really thought that this story is better, good maybe, but better no. Hahahaha so receiving some compliments like this is making me happy and a bit nervous because I felt like I need to make the next chapter better, but I'm not pushing myself to reach the limit I set myself for the chapter, I might burn out again, hahahaha.
