Chapter 3:

Erza Scarlet

Erza is gonna have more appearance in here than my last two chapters, so meaning she'll also get a few more time with Natsu but nothing really happened. At least for now nothing might. Anyway, I hope you guys will like this one too.

Ugh, I think I made a big mistake with what I did last night. I complained bitterly within me. I feel like an old, worn-out rag right now.

Currently I'm on my way to school but they way to school definitely felt longer than usual. Thanks to that stupid nightmare, the stupid all nighter training, and stupid me for taking that damn thing a little too serious.

I hope I don't get bothered at school today.

I managed to catch up in time with the train before it's leaves and won't be back for approximately fifteen minutes. My ride to school would be ten minutes long so I decided to use that little time to take a quick nap...which was a bigger mistake.

3 Hours Later...

"Sir...sir, please wake up sir" I faintly heard the calm yet worried soft tone of a woman calling out to someone as I felt like someone repeated shook me.

"Sir, please wake up, the train would depart for the 12th time you're asleep on this train" she spoke again.

"No mum, give me three more minutes please" I said unconsciously said that out.

"Please sir, Get the f*ck up!"

And that definitely got me awake. Who knew a train attendant or whatever they call them would be vulgar. Geez.

"Sorry, I wasn't able to sleep last night so I decided to take a little nap until I get to school" I explained. I don't really give a damn about how she feels 'cause I never cared in the first place.

"Well if you'll kindly wanna know, its almost 11am and it's been three damn hours since you friggin rode this train!"

I wanna burn this woman to crisps.

Wait a minute...11am

OH SHIT!

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" I almost screamed as I bolted out of the dormant train as quickly as I could without looking back.

"Hey! Is a thank you I get for waking you up?!" I heard her yelled out at an ungrateful me.

You're just doing your job Miss so quit complaining and leave me alone. I said as I disappeared from sight.

10 minutes later

I panted heavily as I found myself in front of the school gate. This is so not my day today. I tried catching my breath to calm myself down by controlling my breaths. Seems it worked.

Feeling a little sweaty, I ignored that part and quickly entered the school grounds.

Here me comes.

5 Minutes Later...

"Would you just look at the time Mr Dragneel"

Oh craps. It's ultear sensei...Again

What the hell does she wants from me? I feel like she monitors my every movement that it's creeping me out.

"No Ma'am, I don't have a wristwatch to Look at the time with" I replied.

She glared at me "Are you trying to be smart with me young man"

The dark aura oozing out from her wasn't a friendly one and I knew that one more error from me would show me how unpleasantly cruel she could be when she's furious.

"Sorry Ma'am"

She sighed. Her purple eyes pierced at me in a hard gaze that felt uneasy for a little bit. She sighed once more like someone who doesn't know what to say or do in a situation like this.

"Just get to class"

This is quite surprising. Well not as surprising as me being late for two weeks in a row.

Not only am I known as the weakest student in Fairytail High but also the one student with a world record of being so late that I could just sleep at home rather than bother coming to school.

Like she said, I did went to class when Gildarts-sensei was still going on about his lectures.

"Natsu you're late!"

"You're not dead sensei?!" I asked, trying to sound as surprising as I could be. Honestly I actually thought he would end up in the hospital after his 'business' with gramps at his office. He's a sturdy one alright.

"No buddy, I already died and I just borrowed my body to lecture you guys just for today!"

"So you'll be dead after this class again?"

And now, the whole class was just looking at me with weird faces. Save for gray who was almost dying of laughter. Another dead man, cool.

"Yes, when i'm done with lectures you'll see a white spirit and a halo over its' head. Natsu, just go to your seat. Please" now that's a polite way of asking something of me.

"Alright sensei. And I promise to get a nice cozy coffin for your body once school is over alright? And oh, you're going to hell" I smiled at him.

"Alright class, since this pink haired idiot has finally arrived, I'll like to use the few minutes of my time to say a few thing before i leave" he Stressed the word 'leave'. Mm.

What's he sounding so serious for? Did something actually happened?

"If you all have been watching the news lately, it seems that a dangerous criminal has made his way into this city. Long unkept blond hair, red eyes, wild personality, strong magic powers and most of all, A god slayer"

Okay, now this is alarming.

I heard the class immediately whispering to one another about this matter. This isn't something you whisper about to each other.

"Sensei" Gray raised up his right arm like he was seeking the old man's permission to speak "Yes, Gray"

"I heard it in the news last night. It was said he controlled dark flames and was also a slayer, a god slayer. I only know pinky to be the slayer around here with flames"

Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi. Where the hell are you taking this conversation to? Do you really hate me that much?

"So you're saying it could be Natsu behind this?"

And he's also thinking about it too. This school is messed up.

"Certainly you're-"

"That's enough!"

Wow, now there's your tone with absolute authority that could even silence a teacher.

"Gildarts-sensei, while I appreciate you brought up this topic since you cared about your students, I adviced you take this more seriously rather than making useless assumptions of what you couldn't even find a single proof of" The red headed woman said. Thanks little red. Sounds Familiar.

"As for you gray" she gave a menacing glare at gray that could make him wet this pants. Scary.

"I better not say something careless if I were you"

"YES MA'AM!" Dude, you don't have to show you were that scared of her.

"Alright then, Erza said it all. You all need to be careful until he's brought to justice"

Pff, you guys better find good jobs than playing hero and risk your lives for nothing.

The bell rang to signify the end of his class. Is he actually dead?

"Oh class, one more thing" the whole class looked at him in anticipation of what he was about to say.

"Natsu Dragneel would from now on be the class represtative of the first year. Erza, assist him for the rest of the year too" he ran out.

I think my ears got a problem I don't think I actually heard that in reality. Just my Imagination.

"Well dude, good luck being 'Class captain' from now on" Gray smirked at me.

WHAT THE HEL?! THAT WASN'T A DREAM. WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS TO GIVE ME SUCH A RIDICULOUS POST AND RAN OFF LIKE THAT. I'LL KILL HIM!

"Nice going class representative sir" this time Its that white haired girl. Didn't remember her name.

"I bet it's gonna be fun having all the powers to command the class" a brown haired girl said. Oh, she smells funny.

"If you wanna trade, I could hand over the post to you Miss white haired girl"

She giggled at my statement. "No silly, its your job now so you gotta do it. The name's Mira, Mira Strauss"

"Hey, the name's Cana"

"Okay, nice to meet you both"

No, definitely not nice to meet you guys.

"Hey Mira, cana, why are you guys talking to this fire punk. He'll just infect you with his laziness"

And here comes the troublemaker ice idiot, again.

"Is that so" Mira said while in deep thought. Oi, what are you thinking about?

"Hey prez, how's it going today" It's Mr playboy now. Geez, I'll just have to torch(burn) this class for you guys to leave me alone.

"I slept in"

Everyone laughed. Well, I guess it's normal among peers.

"So dragon boy do sleep a lot" and it was Playboy's twin. I think?

"The name's Natsu, not dragon boy, Luigi" Wow, I got someone's name right!

"It's not Luigi!" she screamed, almost biting my ears off. Everyone laughed at her antics.

"Flame for brains is so dumb that he can't get a simple name right. Geez, just how did you get into this school" Well gray, this dumb guy has his ways of doing things.

"You should drink more beer and you'll definitely not wake up late again"

Miss brown hair, I think something might be wrong with your brains.

"No cana, he can't have that, he's under aged" Mira said.

And so are you. No one here is of drinking age. Wait a time, is she...Mm.

"A real man never let's his age be a problem!"

"True Mira brother. Wanna have a drink sometime?" I feel like I'm surrounded with the wrong people.

"You drink?" he asked, looking at me with doubts."Well you're the one who said 'A real man never let's his age be a problem'"

Everyone laughed again. Seriously, what's up with this mood?

"Hey gray" I said, I seriously don't wanna ask him for this but I got to.

"Yeah?"

"Do you know of a good sleeping spot? Its almost lunch time now and I need to catch up on more sleep" I was only able to sleep three hours today which was on the train. I feel so tired.

"And why should I help you?"

"200 jewels"

"Deal!"

Everyone deadpanned. I just made a bribery in school. Yup, I'm no hero for sure.

Suddenly I felt the air around me changed. Like it got thicker. Everyone was silent, not moving an inch. I wondered what's happening.

"Natsu Dragneel"

Okay, I think I clearly understood it now.

"Oh hey Red" Everyone eyes widened in shock. Some looked at me like I was already dead while other muttered something about resting in peace. Mm.

"It's Erza Scarlet to you"

"Scarlet, crimson, cherry, red. Same thing"

Immediately I heard a loud thud in front of me only to found out she smashed my desk to pieces. I might be at the infirmary if I don't take her seriously. That's for sure.

The others yelped in fear at her brute strength. Clearly it was a little scary.

"Now now Erza. You need to calm down" This time it was Mira who came in. Erza seems to take her words and calmed down a bit.

"I'm sorry for my actions" she bowed, "I would like you to hit me as a punishment"

Okay. I wasn't expecting this.

"Okay, I will" everyone was surprised at my response as I got ready to hit her.

"Just how low would you sink flame breath, I can't believe you would actually wanna hit her" gray said in disgust.

"Well snow boy, she's hit you countless of times and she just smashed my tables in pieces. I gotta pay her back"

Gray was about to protest again but was stopped by erza this time.

"It's fine gray, I let my anger get the better of me and I did something stupid. I'll gladly take any punishment"

To do a bad guy act, I smirked evilly while I looked at her bowing form. Her scarlet red fell down with her. That's a little pretty.

"You asked for it" I charged my fist to her head. Everyone looked at me in disbelief that I would actually do such a thing. I'm not a righteous man!

"Here I come" I said as I punched her on the head and she fell hard on the floor of the classroom, almost breaking the tiles...That's what you thought was gonna happen.

Here's what happened. I just gave her a light punch that a little baby could give to anyone.

Everyone where just wide eyed at me again.

"Is that it?" they asked.

"Well yeah, I don't have that kind of monstrous strength to make her feel pains"

They face palmed.

"I see" erza spoke up. Finally raising her head to speak up. "It's nice to meet you Natsu Dragneel. As an assistant to the class representative, I look forward to working with you this year" She bowed and she left the class.

Not nice to meet me. Me not nice to meet you. What am I saying...

Now then, about my sleeping place.

"Gray, how about the place I can have a nice nap and you get your 200jewels"

And I left the class with gray in front of me. Today was a heck of a day.

Later that Day...

Normal P.O.V

Natsu had slept for an extra period right after lunch break was over. He was found out by erza who wasn't the least bit happy about what he did.

Right after the final school bell rang, signalling the day was over, Erza and an annoyed Natsu had to stay behind at school to complete some school work. Mainly for their class, since they were class representatives.

"I can't believe I'm doing this!" Natsu sighed in exasperation, nearly wanting to scream out his lungs.

"Now you have to believe you're doing this" erza said "You're the class representative now, you have to keep the class going and be there for them when they need it"

Natsu looked at her like she was crazy "Trust me, I'm not gonna be there for anyone. I'll only be there for my TV, my home and most importantly, my bed. This is all stupid"

Erza glared daggers at him but Natsu was unfazed by her famous 'erza glare'

"Stop talking and let's get to work!"

"Aren't I the class rep?" Natsu smirked "Since I have the authority over everyone in the class, including you, and you always follow the rules of those higher than you, I say you finish up the work for me"

Erza was taken back by this rather strange statement "What the..why should I do that?"

"Isn't it the work of an assistant to help the main guy?"

"Yes"

"Then finish up all the work here. I'll come back right after it's done"

Natsu turned towards to door and was about to leave but he felt something unworldly. He slowly turned his head to see erza had released all her anger and frustration into her magic powers, flaring them dangerously.

"Natsu Dragneel..." she took a step forward like a lifeless body while dangerously calling out his name.

Natsu immediately tried making a run out the class but erza outran him and caught him by the wrist.

"You're not going anywhere until the work gets done. Understood!"

Natsu sighed. He gave up. There was no escaping this one. He accepted his fate as he made his way to the pile of papers that needs a proper checkup and few write-ups if necessary.

'I'm gonna die before this is over'

3 hours later...

Damn erza. Damn Gildarts. Damn that class. Damn that school. Damn everything!. Everything should just get burnt to the ground and turn to a pile of ash. Oh wait, I can do that but meh.

I can't believe she made me spent three friggin hours doing some useless nonsense that doesn't concerns me in the least.

And she's right beside me.

"I never knew you went this direction Natsu"

Somebody please kill me "Yeah I do" that's all I can say. Keep my speech short so she'll loose interest.

"I still don't get why you come late to school"

"None of your business"

"Is that so"

It's working. I mentally rejoiced. Now, I'll be able to slowly regain my peace and quiet within a few days. Nice going me. I gave myself a pat at the back.

"Natsu, why are you doing all this?"

Huh? I felt confused and a little surprised by her question. By all what?

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing seems familiar to you? Not even when you're with me?"

Okay now. This is strange. And weird. Erza is asking me a really weird question right now.

"Um...No" I replied with doubts "Should it seem all familiar to me?"

Surprising enough. I could feel she was...sad. From her facial expression, she felt disappointed and sad by my answer. What the hell?

"I thought as much" she muttered but I could still hear her clearly.

While we were rounding up into a corner since we decided to take shortcuts to get us faster to the train station, I was a little engrossed with my little conversation with erza; which wasn't my initial idea. Until something did happened.

"Natsu do you remem-"

Normal P.O.V

Erza looked at natsu with hopeful eyes as she tried to speak to him "Natsu do you remem-"

"Wait Red" Natsu immediately cuts her off. Keenly surveying his surrounding like he was looking for a tiger on the loose.

"What's wrong?" erza felt a little uneasy but raised her guard to the max. If something like this could get him serious, then she has to be on her best fighting shape.

No less than a second, dark flames from nowhere suddenly attacked them but they evaded it by jumping sideways from each other.

Erza equipped her swords while Natsu merely stood with watchful eyes.

"Show yourself Mr Ambusher" Natsu said with an irritated tone. He wanted today to be as uneventful as possible but ever since he made it to Fairytail, his life never remained the same for as long as he was still able to remember what peaceful and quiet was.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't my old buddy, Natsu" From the shadows of the night sky, the dim moonlight shone down on the incoming figure to reveal a young man no older than Natsu with long wild blond hair, red piercings eyes, tongue sticking out of his mouth maniacally and a wild face.

"Identify yourself!" Erza readied her sword to strike when needed.

"Oh, and who is the bitch with you, Natsu"

Erza was a little perplexed by his statement. He just said natsu's name. So does that mean they knew each other.

"Who the hell are you and how did you know I'm Natsu?" he did nothing to protect himself. He just stood there, unwilling to fight.

"Now now buddy. We're having a reunion so why don't we burn a bit of Magnolia to the ground while we catch up on our years of loneliness"

Erza had just had enough of the mysterious man's lousiness and she charged at him head on.

"You haven't answered my question!" she swung her sword at him but he skillfully dodged them but erza immediately summoned a second sword and swung down at him, nearly splitting his throat into two.

"Wow that was a close call" he distanced himself away from her and massaged his throat. A small thin bead of cold sweat rolled down his jaw. "I see now"

He began laughing like a maniac, sticking out his tongue as he continued his laughter.

"Not only is the son of Dragneel here but also the daughter of Irene herself!" he gave a dark smile and released a good amount of his magic.

"Why don't I tell you my name before you all go to hell" slowly he brought his left thumb and pointed it at his own face.

"The name's..."

That's all for now.

See ya later pals.
