Chapter 6: Rain and Faint

Fairy Tail

"Does Natsu really care about what people think about him?" asks Lucy.

"Sounds like it Lucy. But since when did Flambrain care about that?" asks Gray.

"Salamander does care. But only when people call him that behind his back. And with his hearing, he's probably heard an entire city's worth of people call him a monster or a freak." responds Gajeel.

"What?!" shouts Erza, "Why hasn't he told us this? Why has Natsu kept that secret from us?"

"It's not like Salamander kept it secret. It was obvious that he does care what people think about him. Why do you think he fights so hard on Fairy Tail's behalf?" responds Gajeel. The guild all look at him in surprise. "What? We're Dragon Slayers. I know how he thinks sometimes." adds Gajeel while glaring at some of the weaker members. The members then quickly turn away and go back to talking about Natsu's music.

"Anyways, Gajeel may be right. Natsu and his mind are clearly both shrouded in mystery." adds Makarov.

"Master, you don't really believe that do you?" asks Erza.

"Erza, Natsu was able to keep his musical talents from us a secret for Mavis knows how long. What makes you think that he doesn't have any more secrets that he is keeping from us?" replies Makarov, making Erza and the guild realize one thing.

How much of Natsu do they really know?

Deciding to find a way to lighten the atmosphere, Juvia has walked up to the case and began to look for a song that will take their mind off of this new information. As she looks through the many songs that Natsu has made, none have caught her attention until she finds a song by the title of 'Rain.' Deciding that it might be interesting and that it'll take the guild away from it's current topic of conversation, she hands the disc to Mira. Mira puts the disc in the music player and lets the song sound throughout the guild hall.

The guild is met with soft sounds of a guitar and vocals soon follow and the guild is hit with Natsu's voice.

I don't mind, no I don't mind, I don't mind the rain
The simple things and subtleties they always stay the same
I don't mind, that I don't mind, no, I don't mind the rain
Like a widow's heart
We fall apart
But never fade away (fade away)

The guild is now surprised at the soft tone in Natsu's voice and at the words he is singing. But none are more surprised at the lyrics than Juvia. To her, she felt a warm feeling knowing that Natsu doesn't mind when she causes it to rain.

Told like a child do you know where I came from?
No I don't, but I'm singing all the same songs
I'm alone, and you're looking for your anyone
Does it hurt just to know that it's all gone?
I can feel the pain in the words that you say
Hidden in the letters that were written to no name
Let me be the hands that you hold to your face
Cause I'd give it all up if I could take it away
Buried in red, white, and a side of some blue
Some will die too late, and somebody too soon
If he could come back, we'll see what it cost him
We had to lose it all, just to know that we lost one
Hi, I am just a shape in the shadow of greats
Hi, I am just a voice in the choir of saints
Oh, all the souls that nobody could save
And just like a light, we faded away

"Did Natsu just rap?" asks Gray. Gajeel then begins to growl slightly.

'Dammit, Salamander. How did you figure out how to rap?' Gajeel finishes his thought with a scowl on his face.

I don't mind, no I don't mind, I don't mind the rain
The simple things and subtleties they always stay the same
I don't mind, that I don't mind, no I don't mind the rain
Like a widow's heart
We fall apart
But never fade away (fade away)

Fade away, as I fade away, away, away

"How is Natsu able to switch his voice like that? He sounded like three different people already?!" asks Levy. The rest then begin to wonder the same thing. Their thoughts are soon interrupted when they hear Natsu's voice again.

If I could take it all back
Before the flags were forced to wave at half mast
That was long before my heart became black
There's no way to make it change or go back
You know that some of us grow old, with no home
Some of us die in a cold house, with no hope
Still surrounded by the people you don't know, so don't go
Cause once it's over the time fades your photo
How many goodbyes can fit in a lifetime?
How many good lies can make it seem alright?
What do you see when you look into my eyes?
Or in the sky right before you say goodnight?
I could be the son that stands beside of your bed
And I could be the voice right inside of your head
I could say goodbye and you know where I went
I just wrote a letter that'll never be sent

Fade away, as I fade away, away, away
As I fade away, away, away
As I fade away (fade away)
As I fade away

Currently, Juvia is fixated on the first line of the song and the chorus. 'Natsu-san, do you really not mind when it rains?' By now, Juvia conflicted over whether she should feel happy at the thought or just ignore it. 'But, Juvia loves Gray-sama. But Juvia can't shake this feeling inside her chest.'

'Natsu… If you so much as try to take Juvia, you'll be buried in the ground when I'm done with you.' thought a certain jealous Ice Mage.

'So even Juvia, ehh Salamander? Just treat her right and we'll be fine.' thought Gajeel, only caring about protecting his friend.

"I don't know what that song was about, but damn, that kid sure knows how to sing!" exclaims Macao.

"Agreed, Natsu-san is very talented." agrees Freed.

"Natsu-nii is really good at this!" said Romeo, his admiration for the Fire Mage growing even more.

"Yeah, but it sounds like Natsu is really into rock music." adds Levy.

"Yeah, I wonder if he has any more songs that aren't rock." responds Lucy.

Meanwhile Wendy is already at the case of music, wondering if their are any other songs that are just as good as the previous ones. Wendy looks through the case of music and tries to find another song that doesn't belong to the rock genre. 'Natsu has to have some more songs that aren't rock, right?'

She continues searching and comes across a song that's titled 'Faint.' 'Hmm, I wonder if this one isn't a rock song.' She then walks up to Mira. "Mirajane-san, can you play this one?" Mira then takes the disc from Wendy and pops it into the music player.

As the song begins, the guild hears it start with what sounds like string instruments. They soon hear drums and a guitar join in.

'Great, another rock song.' thought a few of the mages in the guild.

I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints, but I can't help the fact that everyone can see these scars
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, to just believe this is real
So I let go watching you, turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got

"Damn, Natsu can rap pretty well." exclaims Alzack. The guild all voice their agreements while Gajeel growls in response.

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

'Dang, Natsu is actually really good at this. Not as good as Gajeel, but still really good.' thought a loyal Pantherlily.

The guild is now moving along to the beat of the song, letting the song pump them up even more.

I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand I do what I can but sometimes I don't make sense
I am what you never wanna say, but I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear me out
So I let go watching you, turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

Now
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me, like it or not
Right now
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me, like it or not
Right now

"How can Natsu sing like that without hurting his throat and vocal chords?" asks Lucy and Levy. The guild ignores their question as they continue to listen to the rest of the song.

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

I can't feel
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

The guild reamin in silence as they let the song end. Gray is the first one to break the silence, "Damn, I don't know what that song was about but it put me in such a good mood!" exclaims Gray, forgetting about his jealousy.

"Agreed, that song was Manly!" shouts Elfman.

"You think everything's manly." responds Evergreen.

"I agree with Elfman that song definitely pumped me up." adds Gray.

"I liked so much!" shouts Happy as he flies around the Guild Hall, "He's much better than Gajeel!"

"Why do you bring that up again?! I may not be good as Salamander, but I'm still good at music!"

"Metal Head, you're awful at muic. Just accept it."

Before anything else could escalate, Erza stops them both by clashing both of their heads together, knocking them to the ground once more.

Meanwhile, Bixlow, who ignored the beating that Erza gave Gray and Gajeel, walked up to the case of music. Hoping to find a song that he'll like.
