On with the story
At a lake near a forest
Happy was at the lake, fishing with a rod while beside him was a basket filled with caught fishes
"aye!" Happy exclaimed as he swings the rod up and a fish got caught on the bait "big catch!"
Happy smiled so joyfully as he placed a worm on the hook before swinging the rod and throws the hook to the water
The Cait Sith hummed as he waits for the next fish to get caught in his rod
While Happy was fishing, Natsu sat by a tree stump while in the middle of cleaning his magic gun before he rolled the revolver and looks inside the cartridge to check the bullets
Natsu hummed as he puts his gun in a holster before going into the carriage where the sound of rustling keeps on ranging out
"morning" Natsu asked as inside the carriage was Lucy who had rope tied around her legs, and hands "if you stop running away and behave, I will untie that rope on you"
"never! You can't just take me away like this! This is abduction!" Lucy exclaimed as Natsu sighs "you're a piece of trash! How could you make such a pact deal!?"
"and I thought Hakutaku are the smartest creatures after mine" Natsu said as he grabs a sack and walks away
Lucy started to try and get the ropes off her hands, legs but they were tied tight
The group had travelled away from Taurama Town in a day as they were taking a break by the lake
Lucy started biting the rope on her hands as she tried to cut them
Natsu sat down on the stump before Happy came with the basket of fishes
"Natsu, I got the fish!" Happy said as Natsu grabs the basket and sees the amount of fishes the Blue Feline had caught
"not bad" Natsu said as he sets the basket down and sighs
Natsu soon grabs a pile of branches near him and throws it to the ground before spitting a fireball that turned the pile of branches into a campfire
"here" Natsu said as he gives three fishes for Happy who smiled and grabs them
"raw fish always taste the best!" Happy cheered while Natsu roasts the rest on the fire
After the Ghoul attack on Taurama town, Natsu had taken Lucy and claimed her as his mates
"ah, Natsu look" Happy said as Natsu looks to the side and sees Lucy getting out of the carriage before running away "she's running away again"
Natsu hummed as his eyes glowed red
Lucy was going to run into the forest before she felt a burning sensation running through her whole body, causing her to stop in her place
"aagggh!" Lucy screamed a bit as she holds her right hand, the Dragon mark on her back hand was glowing crimson "w-what..what is this mark?"
Before long, her body suddenly moves on its own. Lucy was now walking back to the carriage as she could not control her own body
"ah, she's coming back" Happy said while munching on a fish
Natsu sighs as he eats a grilled fish and munches the meat and bone at the same time
The morning day was soon passed as the afternoon sun came
The carriage was on the road again as Happy drives in front, holding the rails to the mechanical horse
While Happy was at the front, Natsu and Lucy were in the back
Natsu sat near the back while Lucy was in the middle
Lucy's stomach started growling as she holds a hand on it
"eat" Natsu said as he throws a sack beside Lucy "or you'll die"
"then so be it" Lucy said glaring at Natsu "I would rather die then live as someone's slaves"
"you're not a slave, you're my mate" Natsu told her
"I don't care!" Lucy shouted "you just took me away from my friends and my home! This is just pure abduction! Kidnapping! Slavery!"
Lucy keeps on ranting out as Natsu looks at her before sighing
"Happy" Natsu spoke out as Happy grabs a pair of earplugs and pushed them into his ears
As Lucy rants out on Natsu, the man grabs her cheeks and pulled her towards him
"you know, you're beautiful and all, but it doesn't mean that you can rant anything on me" Natsu said as his form changed "I had decided to take you when we get home but I think I can speed things up a bit"
"w-what are you!?" Lucy exclaimed before she yelps as Natsu pulled her in and takes her lips
"mmmggghh!" Lucy mewled in the kiss as she started hitting Natsu, trying to push him away but the man holds her tightly
Natsu's long tongue slips into her mouth as it wrestles with Lucy's tongue and twists around with it
After a minute of tongue wrestling, Natsu pulled away and sticks out his long tongue at Lucy who was breathing raggedly
"i told you.." Natsu said as his eyes glowed red "…you're mine now"
Lucy's face was red as she wipes her mouth with her hand while her eyes were tearing up
"jerk!" Lucy exclaimed as she punches Natsu's face, hitting him again and then again "you're a molester! You're a perverted jerk! You're a lunatic!"
As Lucy keeps on hitting Natsu, the Dragon Man merely smirked in her attempt
"do what you want" Natsu said as he grabs her hands, a pair of magic handcuffs snapped on them, binding her. He leans down as his long tongue licks Lucy's cheeks "you're just making me crave you even more"
Natsu soon grabs a hold of her attire, ripping them apart from her body
Lucy wanted to scream but Natsu takes her lips again, muffling her scream
Her legs wrecks around the wooden floor, the carriage shaking because of it
Natsu merely smirked to her actions as his hands started to grope her breasts, groping them, kneading them, playing with them
Lucy started moaning as her face was turning red but before long, her right leg kicks up, hitting Natsu's groin hard
"guh!?" Natsu grunted a bit as he pulled back from Lucy and then sat back at his corner, his hands on his groin "t-that hurt…damnit"
Lucy soon backed away from Natsu as she covers her chest with her left hand while her right hand wipes her mouth and then she spits some saliva out of her mouth
"rapist! Pervert! I hope you die!" Lucy shouted as she started crying to herself
Natsu looks at her as he sees the tears on her
He soon sighs as he turns to look at the road behind
While the two seemed in a tense situation, Happy was riding at front; looking at the road, the earplugs closing his hearing from anything
"I wonder if they're done" Happy said while driving the carriage
Afternoon turned to dusk as the sun was now setting
The group had set camp as Natsu was out in the woods while Lucy and Happy stayed at a campfire
"alright" Happy said as he throws some branches into the fire, to keep it from burning out
The blue Cait Sith soon sat down as he rubs his paws together before leaning them against the campfire
He smiled to feel the warmth before he looks to the side and sees Lucy, her attire still torn from what Natsu did to her in the afternoon and her back was to the feline
"you're going to get a cold" Happy said as Lucy didn't reply to him, she only hugs her knees to cover herself
"that guy.." Lucy thought as she remembered what had almost happened "he's the worst! There's no way he's a dragon! Dragon doesn't do such things!"
"hey?" Happy called out as Lucy looks to the side and sees him holding up a blanket over his head "take this, it'll help you keep warm and cover yourself"
Lucy's eyes blinked one time before she smiled
"thank you" Lucy said as she was thankful for the feline's kindness
Lucy grabs the blanket and covers herself with it
"ne, do you like to eat fish? I got another big catch by the river" Happy said "but I guess you can't eat them because you're an herbivore"
"it's alright, I can eat" Lucy said "Hakutakus are omnivorous after all"
"oh, ok" Happy said as he went to a basket and opens it, inside were some fishes "do you like yours raw? Or cooked?"
"cooked please" Lucy said as Happy grabs a few and pierced a stick through them
"salt and pepper" Happy said as he grabs two small bags filled with salt and paper before sprinkling some on the fish
Happy soon placed the fish by the fire, and started to grill them in it
"it'll take a while for them to cook" Happy said holding the stick while looking at the fish that was grilling
"I know" Lucy said with a smile
The two sat in silence as the only sound was coming from the campfire
"hey, Happy was it?" Lucy said as Happy looks to her "why are you doing this?"
"doing what?" Happy asked tilting his head a bit
"travelling with that guy" Lucy said "why are you with such a brute of a guy? Shouldn't you be at the Eastern Mountains? With the rest of the Cait Sith Clans?"
Happy soon looks to the campfire as he frowns
"the Eastern Mountains were burned" Happy said as Lucy's eyes widen "my home were attacked by humans, they destroy everything. we, Caith Siths are a peaceful race, we don't ever fight in conflict. We're also smart in crafting things. That's the reason the humans attacked, just because we didn't want any part in their war"
"t-that's.." Lucy said as she felt a bit guilty for asking such question
"my family and friends, we all lost our homes" Happy stated as he clenched his grasp on the stick "we started to travel to find a new home, but on our way. We keep on getting attacked by humans and demons. We couldn't fight back because we're weak"
Flashback
At a mountain range, a group of humans were surrounding a bunch of Cait Siths who were cowering in fear
"everyday, we all had to run and cower in fear"
Happy and his clan were running as their numbers were decreasing by the days
"my friends were captured one by one, becoming slaves and workers for the humans"
Happy and the remaining Cait Siths were hiding in a cave as they look tired and sad
"every day, every single day of our lives were filled with fear, I thought for sure that the Caith Sith will never be freed. But that all changed one day"
Happy and the rest of the Cait Sith were surrounded by a bunch of beaten up humans who were all defeated by Natsu who stood in front of the Felines
"we met Natsu, he saved us all from the humans and saved our capture friends and families"
Happy looks in awe as Natsu looks to them before reaching a hand out to them
flashback
"Natsu saved us all, for that we Caith Sith were forever grateful to him" Happy said with a smile as he looks to Lucy "that's Natsu, he's not a bad guy. He's a very nice guy"
"even so, he just made me a slave!" Lucy exclaimed
"not exactly" Happy said as he pointed to the dragon mark on Lucy's back right hand "that mark, is the mark of a dragon mate. Basically, he's making you his wife"
"w-wife?! Me!?" Lucy exclaimed as her face turned red
"yup, Natsu decided that you are worthy, so he made you into his mate" Happy told her before he pulls the stick away as the fish were finished grilling "they're done"
"but, he's a Dragon! I'm a Hakutaku! We're basically different species! Sure subspecies can mate with subspecies but different species can't!" Lucy said as she holds the grilled fish sticks
"nope, Natsu is a Dragon but he's only part Dragon" Happy told Lucy who looks confused
"Part Dragon?" Lucy said as Happy nodded "you're saying that he's not truly a Dragon?"
"yup, he's part Dragon, part human, and part demon. He's called a Crosians, a being of mixed species" Happy said as Lucy's eyes widen in surprise "he's the son of the previous Dragon King, Igneel who was half human, and half Dragon. Natsu's mom was half human and half demon. That's how he is a mixed race"
"I know of a dragon mating with a human, but a demon mating with a human?! That's so unthinkable!" Lucy exclaimed "there's not a chance of a half human half demon child to even live! Humans and demons are beings of polar opposites!"
"I don't know, but Natsu's mom was a half human half demon. That's all I know" Happy said
"then, why does he want me to be his mate?" Lucy asked
"repopulating" Happy replied
"w-what?" Lucy said as she scratches her ears a few times, making sure that she wasn't hearing things "did you say 'repopulating'?"
"yup, Natsu plans to repopulate the Dragon Species and bring back the Dragon Civilization" Happy said
"b-but I'm a Hakutaku! I can't give birth to an egg!" Lucy exclaimed as her face went red
"I don't know how it works too, but Natsu said that it doesn't matter because if he mates with any beastmen race, they will give birth to Dragons. He said" Happy said as Lucy looks bewildered
"s-so he just wants me to give birth to his kids?! He doesn't care about how I feel in this situation!?" Lucy exclaimed
"not really, Natsu said that you're smart, pretty, nice, beautiful, and pretty. Wait I said that already" Happy said while counting his fingers before looking to Lucy who was red "he said that he loves girls like you, so he wants you to be one of his mates"
"b-but that's different! He just can't take me away from my home and my friends! I live at my town because I love it!" Lucy exclaimed
"he had to, because it's a part of the pact" Happy said
"what do you mean?" Lucy asked confused again
"wait a minute" Happy said as he runs to the carriage before hopping into the back
Lucy looks at Happy as she could hear the feline rustling inside the carriage before she sees Happy coming out with a scroll in his hand
"here" Happy said, walking back to the campfire and gave the scroll to Lucy "read it"
Lucy takes the scroll and opens it. Her eyes reads the content as they widen in surprise
Written on the scroll was a protection spell
"with the agreement of the pact, the Taurama Town will be protected with the Blessing of the Dragon King. No harm shall come to the town as the agreement of the pact is remained balance" Lucy said as she reads out the content "h-he made such a pact?!"
"yup, he made the same for my family and friends" Happy said "we will help him maintain his kingdom, in exchange we were granted a home and protection"
Lucy looks bewildered as he had thought that Natsu only cared of himself but he cares for others too
"I was wrong the whole time" Lucy muttered out before the campfire suddenly went out
The night became silent before Lucy and Happy sees red eyes glowing in the river water
"w-w-w-what is that?!" Happy exclaimed as he clings onto Lucy, his fur shaking and tail standing up
From the water, came out creatures that looks to have the form of men but their skin is green, covered in fish scales and they have the heads of a fish
"Male Kelipians!" Lucy exclaimed "they're the subspecies of the mermaids that only lives in the river water! We must be at their territory!"
"I don't want to be eaten by a fish!" Happy exclaimed as the Kelipians crawled out of the water while holding human weapons
"we have to run" Lucy said as she holds Happy before she started running
One of the Kelipians had a rope and hook as it swings it around before throwing it towards Lucy's legs
The hook spins around her legs before clamping on
"Aaaah!" Lucy fell down as her legs were pulled back, making her fall face first
The Kelipians started to make a laughing sound as if they were mocking Lucy
"ow" Lucy grunted as she looks behind and sees the Kelipians making their way towards her
Lucy tried to get the hook off her legs but it was tied tight
One Kelipian tried to grab her but Lucy pulled both her legs back before kicking the fishman on the stomach, sending him flying to the river
"that's a Hakutaku's kick, alright! Powerful!" Happy said before screaming as more Kelipians started to surround them "there's too many of them!"
Lucy gritted her teeth as there was no way for them to fight back nor flee
The Kelipians readied their weapons as they were laughing together
Lucy hugs Happy as they awaited for the worse to come, but it never came
BANG!
Instead, they hear a loud gunshot and one of the Kelipians drop to the ground, dead as a bullet pierced through its head
"That sound…" Lucy muttered out, as she heard the gunshot before more came
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Bullets came flying as each one pierced the head of the Kelipians, killing them in an instant
The remaining Kelipians started making screeching sounds as they started running to the river
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
More gunshots rang out as the Kelipians were getting killed one by one.
One Kelipian jumped into the river water, the rest of its kin were all killed and dead
It started swimming away, but a giant shadow soon appeared above it
The Kelipian looks confused on the shadow as it looks up and sees Natsu floating above the air with crimson reptilian wings on his back, while holding his broad sword
"die" Natsu said as the Kelipian shrieked loudly before it was killed when the Dragon Man threw his broad sword that instantly sliced the Kelipian's body into two
Natsu floated down as he grabs a hold of his sword's hilt and pulled it out of the water, a mixture of blue blood and water drips down the blade
The Dragon Man swings his sword to the side, as he wipes off the blood and water
"he did it!" Happy cheered as Natsu came walking to their campsite
"h-he took them all out" Lucy said as Natsu stood in front of her before throwing a sack to her lap
"take it" Natsu said as he started walking into the carriage and got into the back
Lucy and Happy looks to Natsu and the carriage before to the sack as they opened it
Inside were a pair of women clothes and some vegetable rations
Lucy blinks a few times as she takes the clothes out and saw that they were her size
Natsu was sitting in the carriage as he takes off his helmet before sighing
"hey" Lucy called out as he looks to the side and sees her wearing the clothes that he got for her "thanks for the clothes"
"hmm" Natsu hummed as Lucy now wears a white yellowish robe like dress that fits her figure perfectly and a coat on top of it "fits nice"
"thanks" Lucy said as she did a small twirl to show her on all sides "they're really great"
"and expensive" Natsu said as he got her the clothes from a nearby town "but not expensive for me"
"listen. about earlier" Lucy said as Natsu took a glance to her "I'm really sorry for misjudging you. I didn't know how hard and terrible it felt to be the last of your own kind"
"Happy told you, didn't he?" Natsu said as Lucy nodded, making the Dragon man sigh "of course he did, he's Happy"
"can I ask you?" Lucy asked "how did the Dragons became extinct? Was it because of their era of lifespan coming to an end? A disease? Or perhaps they were killed by demons and humans?"
"none of those" Natsu said as he looks at his hand "the Dragons went extinct…because of me"
"because of….you?" she said as Natsu nodded
flashback
"several centuries ago, during the age where Dragons were still reign upon the earth. Everything was peaceful, no conflict, no nothing at all"
Dragons were roaming the ground, roaming the sky, and swimming in the sea as everything was alright
"my father, Igneel. The previous Dragon King ruled with a kind heart, the Kingdom of Dragons were truly supreme and in peace….that is until they learned of a dark truth"
Dragons soon wage war against each other as they burned and kill each other
"my father was a half Dragon and Half human, he kept it a secret for 5 centuries. To Dragons, who are proud and noble, having such a king who is only half blood is a pure disgrace to their honour"
A black Dragon roared out with other Dragons before a crimson red dragon roared with other Dragons behind it
"a war began…a Civil Dragon War. The war to overthrow my father as King"
The land burned in flames, the sky black as night, and the sea dried. Dragons were rampaging and the earth was shaking in their rampage
"some Dragons were against having a half blood as a king, but some were not. The war lasted for 3 centuries, things looks peaceful…that is until I was born"
Corpses of Dead Dragons littered everywhere as the sky was black, the ground filled with blood and ashes
"my father married my mother, a half demon half human. They gave birth to me who has the blood of three races. Which was the ultimate disgrace to the Dragon's honour"
The Crimson Dragon stood in the dead land filled with dead dragons before he too fell as blood covered his whole body with wounds everywhere on him
"my father did everything to ensure peace, but he failed. With that he paid the price with his life"
A woman with black hair and black wings runs to Igneel, in tears to see him in wounds
"I was only 3 years old, when I saw my father died. And then my mother died when I was 10….i was then the last remaining Dragon on this world"
Flashback
"now you know, the truth of the Dragon's extinction…" Natsu said before he looks to Lucy "…and you're looking at it"
"so…the reason of their extinction….was because of your parents giving birth to you?" Lucy said as Natsu nodded before looking away
"you must be agreeing with the denying Dragons, right? How can a proud dragon go so low as to marry a weak race?" Natsu asked
"no! that's just so wrong!" Lucy exclaimed, surprising Natsu who looks at her "your father's parents must've loved each other so much that they give birth to him! Same could go to your mother and father! They love each other so those Dragons can't go denying their love! That's just so wrong!"
"why you say so?" Natsu asked her
"I am not full Hakutaku" Lucy said holding a hand to her chest "my mother was fully Hakutaku, but my father, he was fully human. They fell in love with each other and gave birth to me"
"you're…the same as me?" Natsu said in surprise as Lucy nodded to him
"my mother told me that she went against her parents because of loving a human man is going against tradition, but she didn't care. She loved my father and so was my father who loved her. They left to get married to each other and they soon had me…and I'm proud to be their child" Lucy said "that's why, love is not something anyone can go against! Love is the strongest emotion anyone can ever have! No one can go against it!"
Natsu looks at her as he then looks away and chuckled
"you're one unique girl" Natsu said before he smiled "you're making me crave you even more"
Lucy blushed a bit to his words as she looks away
"what do you wish for?" Natsu asked as Lucy looks at him with a raised eyebrow "what is your desire?"
"my desire?" Lucy said as she rubs her chin and thinks "well I guess, books? I always love reading books and all…why you ask me that?"
"I'll give you what you want" Natsu said "in my kingdom that is"
"why?" Lucy asked as Natsu got out of the carriage before pulling her into a hug with one hand while his other hand cups her chin and lifts it up to him
"I am a king, and I provide importance to my mates who will bear my children" Natsu said as he gives a light kiss to Lucy's lips "if you desire anything, I will provide. Except you going away from me"
Lucy blushed as the moon light shined on Natsu, illuminating him
"s-s-so cool!" Lucy thought, her face steaming up
"f-fine…" Lucy muttered out as Natsu raised an eyebrow in confusion "i-I'll be your mate"
"really?!" Natsu said with a grin
"y-yeah" Lucy said blushing "but on two conditions!"
"name them and I'll grant them" Natsu said "if they are acceptable to me, that is"
"one, I'm allowed to meet with Levy-chan and my friends at their hometown" Lucy said as Natsu nodded in agreement "and two, I want you to be nice! I don't like getting forced into things!"
"done and done" Natsu said "but you still have to be mated to me, I want to bring back the Dragon Race after all"
"i-i-I know!" Lucy stammered out while blushing
"good" Natsu said as he pecks her forehead "we'll be leaving for my kingdom, the first thing in the morning. And at noon, we will start the mating ceremony"
Lucy blushed as she was now going to be mated with the Dragon man
"Happy! We're off to home tomorrow!" Natsu exclaimed to the feline
"Aye sir!" Happy exclaimed
The group prepped up for the night as they were going to rest, for a big day was coming tomorrow
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
