Sorry I have not updated in a really long time. This is one of mine lest favorite stoies and it seems that a lot of people don't relly like this story but there are a few of you that really like this story and seice I don't like leaving stories unfinished I will continue this story but I will need help if I am going to finish this story.
This was going to be harder then Natsu thought mush harder to work with these soul reapers first off everyone kept looking at him wired and whispering stuff about him that part he was used too, but he also had to deal with Toshiro and the other captains watching him 24-7 and treating like he is some kind of plague or prisoner and then there was Mayuri; Natsu can always feel him lurking around like Natsu was one of his lab monkeys, he really did not like that man. Actually the whole situation was starting to piss Natsu off and on top of that there was not been one attack form the demons so he is not where closer to finding up who had created them or how many there were that he need to take care of.
Natsu was just wanting something to happen...anything to happen. So far, the only joy he had in this place is when Ichigo comes around or when he can tease Toshiro.
"Natsu are you even listening to me?" Toshiro said
"umm"
"Natsu the head captain wants to see you."
"For what, more questioning?" Toshiro huffed
"Well you haven't really given any useful information."
"I think the information he is looking for is something I can't give him." Natsu answered still not moving for his position. It has been four day since the demon attack and the rebuilding of the soul society was underway. Natsu was impressed on how fast they were getting their city rebuild; It reminded him of the time they had to rebuild the guild.
"Natsu the head captain is waiting for you." Sui Feng said.
"fine I'll go so I can stop your nagging." Natsu said he missed the days at the guild where he was care free and the only thing he had to worry about was protecting his family. But after the whole thing with Tartarus and his brother the whole carefree attitude disappeared occasionally he would go back to the old ways but with this demon problem going on Natsu had to worry about keeping everyone safe and he wasn't even sure if he liked these people, so far they are finding new ways to annoy him.
"Well it is nice of you to join us Natsu." Said a voice Natsu looked up seeing the group that had found him in the world of the living and all the captains.
"This doesn't seem like a regular interrogation." Natsu said
"Dragneel, I have summoned everyone here because you have not told everything you know about these demons and why they have not attacked us in four days."
"I told you everything you need to know. And how am I supposed to know when they are going to attack."
"No you haven't, you have been keeping secrets." Yamomoto deadpanned "as I said before it would be in both of our interests if we cooperated"
"It's not you told me anything ether, I am not the only one here keeping secrets." Natsu sighed there was no point in arguing and he could understand where the head captain was coming from; he did know the only way to end this quickly was to cooperate, but that doesn't mean Natsu was going to like it. "what information did you need?"
"Start for what you about the demons that you were fighting." The captain of squad four said
"Like I said before the demon take their power form negative emotions like sadness, fear, anger etc. it is called chaos energy or curses. Every demon is different in their abilities. also each demon has something called an Etherious form; and what I heard for you guys it is kind of like espada powers when they transform."
"How do you know so much about these demons." Mayuri asked
"Let's just say I have more than one run in with them." Natsu said, no one really liked that answer but they decided not to push.
"Can you track these demons?" Byakuya asked.
"If I did that is what I would be doing right now instead of hanging round here."
"Well you could tell us something useful so we can take down these demons!" zengaku yelled.
"Right now, I don't really think any information I have is going to be useful; baldly"
"I AM NOT BALD IT'S SHAVED" Zengaku yelled
"Enough! Dragneel Toshiro has also informed me that you have been picking fights with him and melting all of his ice."
"Well short stack here tries to keep freezing me and I DON'T like ice."
"So, when you leave here you with temporarily be under the watch of Jūshirō Ukitake." The head captain said.
"I don't need a baby sitter." Natsu growled
"Well we still do not know if you are an enemy or a friend."
"If this how you threat you allies I might as well be an enemy… as I told you before I will help you take care of this problem and with protect your world but to do that you need to trust me a little."
"Trust is earned and you have not earned it." Natsu sighed
"that is true you do not trust me and that's fine sometime I don't even trust myself If you have my trust then there would be nothing I won't do to protect you but if we are enemies there is nowhere you can run or hind that I won't find you" Natsu said in a low voice and a dark aura round him for the weaker ones in the group it scared them for the other they just put up their guard ready to attack if Natsu makes a move. But before anyone could make a move a member of squad 12 came running in Natsu immediately back down and so did everyone else.
"You idiot what were you thinking running into a captains meeting!" Mayuri asked
"I-I am sorry C-captain but I have news!"
"What is it then spit it out!"
"We have a large number of demons in the world for the living we also detect many hollows in that area." The soul reaper said
"Hollows are those the things with a hole in their chest?" Natsu asked only for everyone to ignore his question but instead look to the head captain.
"I want Ichigo and your team along with Toshiro world of the living group and captain Ukitake to go that is all dismissed"
World of the living
Chaos that was the best way to describe the scene. Hollows seemed to be posed or something because they were running around trying to cause the most damage while the demons were the ones actually killing the people they were gathering all the fear from the people running in a panic for the invisible force.
"What is going on?" Ukitake asked at seeing the scene before them but no one could answer him because the small army noticed their presences and attacked.
"END join ussss" was the collective response of the smaller demons.
"How do you know who I am?" Natsu asked only to get the same response
"This is so weird it's like the demons are controlling the hollows." Uryū said dodging the hallows attacks
"Natsu did you know they could do this?" Rukia asked
"No"
"Let's stop talking and get to the fighting!" Zengaku yelled Natsu went after the strounger demons with ichigo and cutting them down with speed but they just got back up.
"Why wont the demons go down!" Zengaku said slicing one across the chest but the demon didn't look hurt.
"The hallows were easy to take out but these demons are something else" Rangiku said dodging one of the demon's fists.
"We need to get the people out of here, they are feeding on the people's fear." Natsu yelled.
"Rangiku, Rukia, Orihime get everyone out of here!" Ichigo yell cutting a demon clean in half. The menchend people nodded and started rounding up people and lead them away from the battle.
"Ichigo I got an idea that will wipe them out I one go!" Natsu said running up the ichigo's side.
"Are you sure that is going to work?"
"Hey it is only a theory but it worth a try." Natsu said giving Ichigo a big fanged smile.
"Alright can you guys buy us some time?" Ichigo asked the group that was still fighting.
"Sure, but what are you going to do?" Renji asked
"Something stupid." Ichigo and Natsu both answered.
"Of course, you are." Uryū said in a sarcastic tone. Ichigo released his Bankai, Natsu started to release some of his more dragon like power; both powers started to swirl clashing and then combining together. The force together sucked the air away and the sky turned a deep crimson color.
"Everyone get out of the way!" Ichigo yelled as he released a getsuga tenshou but this one was infused with Natsu's power; it tore apart the ground and up rooted trees and plants destroying everything in its path and burned every demon to the ground without mercy.
When the attack ended, everyone stared in shock at the power they just witnessed and the damage done they looked over to the two responsible both smiling like idiots. Then Ichigo began to fall backward and Natsu caught him before he hit the ground.
"Ichigo are you ok?" Rukia asked as the group ran to them.
"Yep I'm fine just feel a little tired that's all. That was on hell of an attack!" While the group was talking Natsu saw something laying in a burnt patch of grass he walked over to see what it was and his eyes widen when he noticed it was one of the Tartarus demon's books. 'what is this doing here better yet how did it get here?' Natsu thought to himself. He picked up the book and hide it before anyone noticed but Captain Ukitake saw everything. He did not say anything but he did safe it too asked about it later.
Back in the soul society
After telling the head captain what happened in the world of the living Captain Ukitake and Rukia helped Natsu move into squad 13 barricks. Natsu really didn't need help because he didn't have really anything to move but they insisted; and the whole time they were walking captain Ukitake talked to Natsu in a friendly way. Natsu did not really know what to do with the captain of squad 13 he could tell he was sick but he also could tell he was one of the strongest captains in the soul society, maybe not with power but you would not want to underestimate him because he also had smarts on his side when a lot of the other captains just used brute force to get what they wanted like the captain in squad 11.
Later that night when Natsu asleep he was waked by many soft moving footsteps running around outside his room. Natsu got up thinking it could be another attack he got up when he opened the door he could not hear any sounds of battle.
"What is going on?" Natsu asked the guard they always but by his room.
"It is none of your concern, go back into your room." The guard said but Natsu could hear worry in his voice.
"Did something happen?" Natsu asked again as two more soul reapers ran passed him with first aid packets in their hands.
"iIt is none of your concern." The guard said again but this time Natsu wasn't listening he lifted his nose to the air and sniffed it he smelt a sickness. 'it is coming from the captains' room Natsu thought as he walked out of his room in the direction of the captain.
"What what are you doing get back into your-" the guard was cut off but Natsu punching the man in the stomach knocking him out and throwing him in to his room
"Sorry about that" Natsu said as he closed the door to his room.
In the captain's room, many of squads 13 members were sitting around a sleeping form of their beloved captain even the captain of squad 4 was there trying to find out what was wrong with him.
"I have never seen the captain this bad before."
"I hope captain Unohana can fix whatever is wrong."
"Of course she will she's the best."
"The captain is always pushing himself to hard." That were what the people around the room were saying the only ones that were quite was the squad four captain and Rukia both faces grim. And that's when Natsu smelt it… Demons.
"Stop!" Natsu yelled getting the attention of the whole room Many looked at him in anger.
"You need to stop your killing him!" Natsu tried again but captain Unohana just frowned many other sqaud members tried to hold down Natsu from getting to the captain but their efforts didn't do much.
"Enough!" captain Unohana said standing up everyone froze
"Natsu what do you think you are doing captain Unohana is trying to heal captain Ukitake!" Rukia said her face full of anger at Natsu not wanting to heal her captain.
"No, you are killing him." Natsu said
"What do you mean?" captain Unohana asked
"I can smell demons on him. One of them must have infected him with one of their cruses." Natsu said flinging the soul reapers that were still attached to him off with enough force sending them flying. "Since he was already sick he was an easy target for a curse."
"What are you saying?! That our captain is weak?"
"That is not what I am saying… the stuff you are using to try and heal him is actually killing him." Natsu said getting angry that while he was trying to explain the captain was dying.
captain Unohana looked down at her patent his breathing was raspy and he was covered in a cold sweat. "If this is true then you might have saved his life." She said "Is this contagious? And do you know how to treat it?" she asked
"Captain why are you even listening to him? He's dangerous and he could have been the one that infected him."
"Yeah, the captain didn't start feeling bad until was away from Natsu!" the arguing went on captain Unohana just ignored them and kept her gaze on Natsu, but Natsu was staring at the man on the floor with a serious look on his face.
'I don't understand… this smell it's not one of my brother's demons; but then who's, are they? I don't know this curse… how is that even posable I created cures how could there be one I don't know?' Natsu thought to himself "Shut up!" Natsu finally said everyone fell silent. "I have never seen a curse like this but you can get rid of a curse with a stronger one." Natsu said already hating this idea,
"What do you mean? Are you saying that we need another demon to curse our captain to save his life?" Rukia said "Wouldn't that make it worse? And what demon would help us?"
"…me" the whole room went quiet.
"what did you say?" Rukia said as she was getting ready to pull out her zanpakuto.
"I can infect him with my own curse and then remove it when the other curse is gone." Natsu said
"your one of them, aren't you?" another soul reaper said
"…No" Natsu said in a low voice he looked up at the captain of squad four "I can save him."
"Then you have I permission to try but if he dies…" she did not even need to finish for Natsu to get the message. He nodded and knelt down. He closed his eyes and put his hand on the captain Ukitake chest. Natsu had to control his fire with enough control not to incinerate the captain or injure him anymore all he need to do was destroy the curse. Red fire started to burn on Natsu hand then it seeped into the captains' body. Natsu was vaguely aware of what was going on around him up he had to focus on his task and worry about the soul reapers later. Beads of sweat appeared on Natsu's forehead he had found the curse but it was fighting him so Natsu made his flame a little hotter which made the captain of squad 13 moan in pain. By this time soul reapers from other squads heard about the commotion and came to see what was going on. Several minutes Natsu lifted his hand pulling out his fire immediately the color returned to Jūshirō Ukitake face and his breath returned to normal Natsu on the other hand fell backward unconscious.
Ok that was a long chapter. I hope you enjoyed it if you don't oh well. Honestly, I didn't know where I was going with this chapter but I hope it was ok. to answer some questions, I will not be adding anyone from fairy tail; Tartarus maybe but this story is too confusing for me to add any more characters from the fairy tail universe but I will try to add some demons. I still need your help with the direction for this story so if you have any ideas doesn't need to be good ideas are ideas I could use them. Here are some topics for brain storming. Battle scenes are always a big one, who the mystery person is that is creating these demons and what his objective is, and lines that characters could say or do. Really anything helps.
