Chapter 2: The Strauss
May 8th-X778
''Again...'' Lilith the Fire Demon Lord said. She watched her young apprentice and Slayer standing over a beaten Wyvern which was covered in bruises, burn marks and one of his wings was gone. She was sitting on a dead Wyvern who used to have all of his body, with a cup of sake in her hand and her kimono covered with blood but she didn't mind it, in fact she was enjoying the spectacle in front of her with a smirk on her tan lips.
''He already lost one of his wings and you want me to kill another one?'' the Flame Devil Dragon Slayer said not looking the Demon Lord. Lilith simply took another sip from her cup.
''Look, Natsu-chan, this exercise is a part of my training. This exercise is to help when you fight Demons. You remember those guys that attacked a colony of Wyverns for no reason, they tried to kill their babies and kill the males to rape the females. But you only attacked those ones and not the colony, care to tell me why?'' she explained as a bunch of dead gray-scaled Wyverns were laying on the ground, missing part of their bodies.
''They did nothing and I didn't like the look in their eyes. Also I'm not the type of guy who kills everything around for fun'' Natsu shrugged. He didn't feel any threat from the Wyverns living here. Before the orange haired Demon could reply, the one winged enraged Wyvern rushed at him with his jaw open showing his sharp teeth. Natsu didn't have any reaction and just disappeared from the injured Wyvern's sight and reappear on his back with his right arm covered with a large orange flame.
''Flame Devil Dragon's Hell Hammer!'' because of the huge blow of fire piercing the scaly skin of the winged beast's back, the wyvern gave a loud roar before falling to the ground lifeless. Natsu smirked as his entire arm was covered in blood. Then he turned his head toward Lilith who finished her bottle of sake.
''You can perfectly control your demonic flames after one year. That's really impressive, but what I said earlier is because it's time to kill you first Demon and that's why we came here.''
''You teaching a lesson? Are you sick or something'' Natsu teased his master who was blushing and cutely pouting.
''I'm an excellent teacher, you damn brat! Like I was saying, the reason why you killed all the gray Wyverns is that sometimes Devil Slayers make mistakes when they go to hunt Demons. The normal Devil Slayer kills both good and bad Demons, only because they want to purify the world from them. But those fools don't know that sometimes Demons only want to be alone or sometimes even protect humans. I know it's surprising that they kill the good ones and not the artificial ones, like the Etherious, which breaks the balance in the Demon world'' she explained seriously.
''So you bring me here to form my own judgement and my own opinion rather than just killing to get stronger? So that's why there are so few Devil Slayers? Natsu asked.
''Exactly, some Demons made the mistake to take adults and teach their magic rather than teaching children. Children are easier to raise giving them value and Devil Slayer Magic also effects the mind of the user especially if he's an adult. Recently, I met up with one of my fellow Demon Lords, Fenris the Ice Devil Wolf, and he took some guys who wanted to kill all the Demons. He wanted them dead because of Deliora, who killed his family. He's still alive, but you get the point. I hope you will not kill me'' she said with a little hope. Her last Devil Slayer sealed her in the necklace because that was the right thing to do...yeah right.
''Don't worry, I may become a dick because of you, but not an asshole, even though sometimes you stand naked in front of me'' Natsu said the last part with a blush. Even after one year, seeing the tanned naked body of Lilith still affect the young Devil Dragon Slayer, he couldn't help but stare when she wasn't looking. She even used her body as a weapon against him to feel embarrassed and awkward and he entered puberty.
''That's so sweet! My little Devil Slayer cares for me'' she said as she grabbed the pink haired young boy and put his head in her large chest to his embarrassment and her pleasure.
''Shut up! Can we get out of here now?'' he tried to change the subject.
''Hump! Even though you try to change the subject, you care for me. The second phase of your training is finished. The next phase is to join a human guild'' she said seriously.
''What! Are you serious?''
''Very serious, even if you turned into a Demon Hybrid, you'd still have your human appearance and you need to know how to act around them. Like that, you can hide in the crowd to avoid attention.''
''So, you're telling me to join a human guild like that so when I search for the Etherious and Demons of Goetia, the Magic Council will leave me alone? Do I have to choose a powerful guild or a weak one?'' he asked.
''I seriously don't care, but choose well, because the name of a guild can affect your reputation'' the orange haired Demon Lord explained as Natsu changed his clothes covered with blood and parts of the Wyverns. After living with an exhibitionist for an entire year, Natsu didn't have a problem changing in front of her. He barely changed in a year, he was taller with a bit more muscles, his irises had been slitted ever since his transformation. Then, he decided to wear an opened black sleeve-less shirt with red trimming and a giant skull on the back, the lack of sleeves showing his Devil Slaying tattoo on his right wrist. A pair of black pants with a white belt, a pair of red boots, his necklace and white muffler finishing his attire.
''Alright, I hope whatever guild I join has strong members. Lilith-chan, you need to enter the necklace'' Natsu said as the Fire Demon Lord didn't look very happy. Even though the magic seal was broken, Lilith could enter or leave her prison whenever she wanted, but she didn't like to do it.
''Stupid necklace...'' she muttered to herself as she disappeared in a dark red flash, entering the necklace. Then, Natsu grabbed his bag and began to leave the fly-filled corpses.
''Too bad the gray Wyverns' meat tastes like shit, I haven't had meat for weeks'' the Fire Dragon Slayer said to himself as Lilith sweat-dropped at Natsu's declaration.
'Do you always think about eating?'
'Hmmm...let me see, I think about Fighting, Sleeping, Burning stuff, Shiny things, Spicy Food, Money and Making Friends' the last answer surprised the Demon.
'Friends? You want to have friends?'
'What? I know that humans are sometimes stupid, annoying and weak, but some of them can be worthy of my friendship. I don't want to be the lonely guy who only has allies instead of friends. Between you and me I may like you sensei, but we both know that you only want me to get rid of my virginity' Natsu remembered everything that Lilith and him had been through in awkward moments and nudity.
'How could you! It's just that we didn't truly finish the bond of a master and her student and it's not because I found you attractive or anything' she said with little blush as Natsu give a look which screamed ''are you kidding me''.
'Whatever. Hey Lilith, how much do Wyvern's teeth cost?'
'Well, that depends on the era, but I remember that one of those can get you a lot of jewels. Find a village to sell them, and you won't have to worry about money' she said as he nodded in agreement.
''Well let's find a village!'' Natsu yelled he started to pull out the big teeth of the dead Wyverns.
Three day later
''Finally, I can see civilization!'' Natsu said after finally seeing a town after travelling for three days while carrying his bag along with a huge bag filled with teeth.
'You're so happy to see a village with humans?'
''Well for three days, I've only eaten wolves and deer, I may not like them, but they can make for awesome food'' He replied to his necklace.
When Natsu finally entered the village, he noticed there were not a lot of people, but that was not his concern. Unfortunately for him, he didn't find any restaurants, so ignoring his hunger he decided to find a merchant to sell the teeth to. Thanks to his enhanced vision, he saw a vendor under his stall and walked towards him. When he was in front of the stall, he saw that the vendor was an old man.
''Hello youngster! What can I can do for you?'' the old man said with a smile on his old face.
''...Yeah, I have a bunch of Wyvern teeth and I was wondering if you can take them?'' he replied politely, ignoring the shocked expression of the old man.
''You did that by yourself? Are a mage or something?'' he asked. Natsu felt insulted, but ignored the last comment.
''Yeah I'm a mage'' he created a flame in his palm, much to the old man's surprise.
''Incredible! Mages usually don't come through our village, they prefer towns since they have Guilds. I see you have 226 teeth and one is 10,000 Jewels... you made a pretty large profit, kid'' he said as he took the teeth and gave the money to the young boy.
''You said mages prefer to go to towns, right? Do you know the town closest to here?'' Natsu asked with hope.
''Hmmm. The closest town from here is Magnolia Town but it's a ten day walk. You have to pass by the desert and take the path to Bosco to walk to Fiore'' the old man explained.
''Alright, thank you, old man'' Natsu simply said as he took the money and walked toward the exit of the village. Suddenly, he heard some noise that gained his attention. He walked toward the source of the sound and saw a bunch of angry looking villagers, standing in front of a house with tools in their hands.
''Get out of here!''
''Leave this village!''
''You damn demon-possessed bitch!''
''You cursed family!'' a villager yelled as he grabbed a rock and threw it at a window, breaking the glass. Natsu curiosity led him to the scene.
'Hey Lilith you hear that, they got a Demon here' Natsu said his teacher.
'Hmmm..., this is very odd. A demon could take care of a village by themselves, but you should analyze if the demon is an Etherious or from Goetia' the orange Demon Lord replied as Natsu gathered demonic energy in his eyes as the pupils became golden yellow and his sclera's blood red with orange eye liners. To the surprise of Natsu and Lilith, they saw the aura of a human with a Demon Factor.
'This person has a Demon Factor inside of him or her? This is not normal, maybe that person is like me and Dyrus?' he thought.
''I wouldn't count on that. You and the others are Demon Hybrids, but this person is a human with Demon Blood inside of them, like the factor is beginning to awaken. Even if it's a human with the Demon Factor, you need to stay on guard' Lilith explained as the Flame Devil Dragon Slayer agreed and walked into the house, ignoring the angry villagers.
''Hey, kid, what are you doing?'' a villager asked. Natsu didn't pay attention to him as one of the villager grabbed Natsu's arm.
''What are you trying to do, kid? In this house, a demon is hiding with some others, kids like you shouldn't go near them!'' a villager tried to explain as Natsu's eyes narrowed and the villager dropped his arm as his hand became red. Before he could understand, the house was covered in a large ring of fire.
''Touch me again you scum and my flames will end your pathetic life.'' Natsu threatened the villager as the others ran, scared of the flames.
''Y-You are a demon just like the little witch'' he yelled.
''Get out of this village, you freak! We don't need a demon with a stupid hair color'' a villager yelled before being completely consumed by a stream of fire coming from the ground. The other villagers couldn't help, but to watch the man burn alive until he became a burning corpse. Then the villagers turned to the young slayer who had a dark and cool expression on his tanned face.
''Listen to me, you jackass, I don't care if you don't like magic, but the next who says shit about my hair will get the same fate as the fool you just saw die...is that clear?'' the villagers stepped back as they nodded their head. After scaring the shit out of the villagers, Natsu went into the house and began to open the door and what he saw surprised him.
In front of him, he saw three children about the same age as him, two girls and one boy. The boy had messy white bowl cut hair, dark blue eyes with skin tanned greater than his. He wore an elegant, Western-looking attire, consisting of a black suit over a white shirt, with a red bowtie around the neck, and polished dark shoes. A young girl who seemed to be the youngest one had short, white hair and blue eyes. She wore a simple, pink dress paired with dark red shoes. The last one who seemed to be the eldest was a girl with white hair and blue eyes with a cloak that covered her entire body and her head with two spikes on the side. She had a terrified look on her pale face and her head was angled to the floor. Thee moment, Natsu closed the door, they all turned their heads at him.
''Who are you?'' the little one asked.
''Please don't hurt our big sister, she's just trying to help'' the male one.
Natsu didn't reply to their pleas as his attention was on the elder sister whom he stared at with curiosity and for some reason, he found the scared white haired girl quite cute.
'So she's the one with the Demon Factor? She doesn't look like a Demon, but I see her arm has the appearance of one' Natsu thought.
'I don't understand? In all my life, I've never seen anything like this...to think that after four hundred years, I had seen it all. I was wrong' Lilith added.
'Funny to hear that from a Demon who is drunk half of the time' he said with a teasing inner smirk. Lilith didn't reply, but she was embarrassed.
''So you're the one who defeated the Demon, huh?'' Natsu waited for an answer. The girl was shocked that the mysterious boy didn't attack her. She reclaimed her courage and began to speak.
''Yes I am, but I'm not a Demon. My sibling and I heard about a Demon who attacked this village's church. I decided to attack the demon, but when I touched him, my arm turned into this'' the young girl said as she showed her arm. To Natsu's surprise, which he didn't show, the arm had strange look with a sinister aura. Natsu examined her arm as the white haired siblings were surprised he didn't have a disgusted expression on his face.
''Well, it looks like you absorbed the power and the soul of the Demon and this is a side effect of the absorption'' he explained.
''You don't seem to have a problem with this. You're not with the villagers, are you?'' she asked with distrust.
''With those idiots? Hell no! I came here to sell some stuff to gain some money and to search for a guild. Besides, why should I have a problem with a fellow mage?'' he said with a smirk that showed his white teeth and made the girl blush.
''Wait, you said you're a mage! Can you show your magic to us?'' the little one said with excitement in her voice. Natsu, who didn't have a problem with it, created a small flame which danced in his palm and the three siblings stared at the flame with awe.
''That's so pretty!''
''This flame is so manly.'' Natsu simply chuckled a little as his face turned serious and the white haired siblings caught the changing expression. Then he checked if the villagers were still near the house and to his disappointment, the villagers ignored his threat and tried to extinguish his flame which was impossible for them, as only a powerful water mage or slayer could do it.
''It seems that those morons want you dead, but I forgot to tell you my name. I'm Natsu Dragneel'' he presented himself.
''Hi! I'm Lisanna Strauss and this is my big brother, Elfman, and my big sister, Mirajane'' the little girl named Lisanna talked first.
''Well it's nice to meet you, but I have to leave you'' he said as he walked to the door. Suddenly the older sister, Mirajane, grabbed his arm with a pleading expression on her cute face.
''Don't leave us, we have nowhere to go and our parents are dead. Those villagers want to kill me and my siblings because of me.'' she explained. Natsu stared at her for a bit. One small part of him wanted to leave the Strauss' alone and continue his journey, but another part of him wanted to travel with them and teach a lesson to the villagers.
''What is your problem? I just met you guys ten minutes ago and I don't have time to babysit'' Natsu replied coldly but the white haired girl didn't let go his arm. Before Mirajane could reaply, Lisanna spoke first.
''Please Natsu, we don't want to see Mira-nee sad! We even tried to talk to them, but they didn't listen'' she explained as Natsu snorted.
''That's no surprise, humans are mostly recognized for being closed-minded, wanting to control everything and killing everything they don't understand. Mages are quite different, but in the end they are all the same, but you make me wonder, why didn't you join the villagers? After all, your sister has a Demon Factor inside of her yet you don't hate her?'' he asked, wanting to see if the two siblings really did love their older sister.
''Never in my life would I treat Mira-nee like that! Even if she were to become a demon, Mira-nee will stay Mira-nee to my eyes and I'm sure she would do the same thing if I was in her place'' Lisanna said with determination on her cute face.
''Lisanna is right! I don't care what she becomes, she will stay the same because she's a man!'' Elfman said with determination as Mirajane began to cry.
''Lisanna...Elfman'' she said quietly.
'So this a siblings' bond huh...I have to stop this cheesy moment, or it'll make me want to throw up' the Flame Devil Dragon thought as Lilith shook her head in agreement.
'We're in the same boat, kiddo.'
''Alright, you can travel with me until I find, we find, a guild. Is that is acceptable for all of you?'' he asked. Mirajane's expression turned from sad to a happy as she hugged the Dragon Slayer, surprising him.
''Thank you very much, Natsu-san. It means a lot to us'' Mirajane said as Natsu was confused and felt something strange inside of him.
'Well, looks like that I got companions. That's too bad for you, Lilith, you can't leave the necklace now' he said to the demon who didn't reply and kept quiet. Unknowing to them, the orange haired Demon Lord was checking the aura of the white haired young girl.
'Hmmm... no this is not possible, I thought his blood would die with his stupid sons. Well looks like you met some interesting girl, Natsu...This will give me more time to check her aura' she said to herself.
''Get your stuff and get behind me, I will create an opening since we can't go through the door. Also they don't need to see what I can really do'' Natsu muttered the last part which Mirajane heard, but said nothing about. Natsu walked toward a wall, ignited his arm in a large flame and hit the wall with great force, creating a huge hole in it. The Strauss', who were watching the pink haired boy's actions couldn't help but have their eyes nearly pop out of their eyelids.
''What? Never seen someone destroy a wall before?'' Said Natsu not really caring about what he did. The Strauss still stared at the wall with the same thought.
'Never get on his bad side'
10 Days later, Magnolia Town
''Finally we got out of this weird forest'' Lisanna said as she, her siblings, and their companion, Natsu, reached their destination. During the past few days, the Flame Devil Dragon Slayer created bonds with the Strauss siblings much to his surprise. At first, the pink haired young boy ignored Lisanna's plot to start a conversation with him until her sister joined Lisanna's plan making it worked. Natsu watched the siblings talk to each other which brought back memories of Dyrus. Even with the training he got from Lilith, he still missed the presence of his older brother figure even though he will never say it aloud.
''Heh, too bad Vulcans taste like shit. Eating fruit is not bad, but I love red meat'' Natsu said as Elfman smiled in agreement while Lisanna and Mirajane giggled.
''So, Natsu, do you think this town has a guild?'' Mirajane asked.
''Well I don't know, but this is the only town we found in the past ten days, so I hope it does'' Natsu replied as he looked at the town around them, while some civilians were watching them with interest.
''Natsu, if we find a guild, will you stay with us?'' the little white haired girl asked with hope. Lisanna developed a crush on the pink haired boy during the last few days and losing him would make her sad. Unknowingly to her, Mirajane developed a crush on Natsu as well.
''Well...maybe I won't, maybe I will. I want to see all the guilds in Fiore to see which is the best, but let's hope that I stay with you guys'' he said with a little smile as he patted Lisanna's head.
'I hope he will stay with us... I don't know why, but I think he's hiding something' Mirajane thought.
Natsu and the Strauss siblings walked through the town until they saw a big building with a large banner which had 'Fairy Tail' written on it. The three Strauss siblings watched the building with awe while Natsu simply glared at the name of the place.
'Fairy Tail? That doesn't make sense. Fairies don't have tails, right? Right Lilith?' he asked the orange haired Demon.
'Well I'm not sure, Fairies are quite complex magical creatures, but surprisingly quite strong and nobody has seen them for nearly four hundred years' Lilith answered.
''So we're finally here, are your exited Mira-nee?'' the younger asked her older sibling who didn't reply and looked at the door. She then gave a glance to the pink haired boy who had a blank look on his face.
Deciding to go in, the four young kids opened the door and what they saw shocked them to the core. Tables were flying across the area, people fighting, drinking and laughing. Elfman and Lisanna was stunned at the show while Natsu and Mirajane were not impressed. After looking around, they was a little man standing in front of them. The short man had black eyes and was mostly bald with only the outer rims of his head containing white hair. He also had a thick white mustache.
''Guests, huh? What I can do to help you four young ones?'' the short man said with a kind smile as Lisanna talked first.
''Are you the guild master? Because my sister, Mira-nee, needs a checkup on her arm'' she explained as Mirajane showed her arm which made everyone in the guild stop their actions. Feeling the embarrassment of the older sister the short man turned back and yelled.
''Don't just stare at the poor girl like that! Get back to your own business!'' the elder man said as everyone returned to their occupation, while the short man returned his attention to the four guests.
''Can we go somewhere private? It's quite personal'' she said with quiet tone. The elder man nodded his head as they went into his office with his eyes on the four children.
''So, what exactly do you want to show me in private, my dear?''
Mirajane showed her arm to the elder man who was shocked at first, but quickly regained a neutral face and examined the arm. Natsu simply watched the old man fix Mirajane's demonic arm, waiting for his reaction. Even though he tried to hide it, Natsu could feel the powerful magic aura of the short man. After fixing Mirajane's arm, the old man step back.
''How did you get that, dear?''
''My siblings and I lived in a small village since our parents' are death. One day, a Demon chose to go into our village and went on a rampage. The villagers were terrified so I met the Demon in a church and when I touched him, the Demon disappeared and my arm took the shape of his arm, this made the villagers think I was possessed and this is how we met Natsu'' she explained as the short man looked at the Fire Dragon Slayer who stared at him with a curious glance.
''You seem quiet, you don't seem bothered by her arm and by the look you gave me, I think you tried to figure out my reaction...am I right?''
''You caught me there, old man. No, I didn't care, since I knew she absorbed the demon and you could say that I don't trust and like humans very much'' Natsu said.
''You don't trust humans and yet you hang around them. That is hypocritical, don't you think?'' the old man said.
''I don't like them, but not all humans are bad. I only like the ones who earn my respect and the strong ones. Those two never treated Mira like a monster or left her side, but that doesn't change my view of humans. But if you don't do anything that can piss me off, you're good'' Natsu said seriously as the short man simply chuckled.
''At least that is a relief. It can be stressful if a boy like you despises me.''
''Don't worry, if you're in my shit list you will know'' the pink haired boy said smirking a bit.
'This kid is quite strange and has an odd aura around him...' the short man thought. Then he returned his attention to Mira still wondering if she was possessed by the demon she fought. The old man released her arm and spoke.
''This is Take Over Magic, a kind of magic. You haven't been possessed by the Demon. Rather, you possess the power of the demon who's now inside of you. That also means you can take the power of other demons you touch or defeat'' the short man explained as Lisanna and Elfman looked to their older sister with joy and relief after hearing she was not possessed by the demon. Mirajane, in other hand, still looked at her demonic arm at eye-level as she stared at it with sadness. She then turned her head towards the pink haired boy who had a curious gaze on her arm.
''The Demon power...I never asked for that...'' she muttered to herself but Natsu heard it.
''So knowing that you're not possessed by a Demon, what will you do now?'' the old man asked as they all left his office.
''I didn't really think about that...maybe we can stay here?'' Mirajane replied with hesitation in her voice.
''Mira-nee we can stay here! I kinda like this place and it's so full of life'' Lisanna said smiling.
''Lisanna is right, and we've been walking for days now. It's been a while since we've eaten a normal meal and I'm pretty sure we're all hungry'' Elfman said as they heard their stomach growl.
''Well, that depend on the older man's decision'' she said as Elfman and Lisanna turned their heads toward the older man.
''I don't see why not, you two look like good kids to me, what about you two?'' he said to Natsu and Mirajane.
''I'm not so sure...'' Mirajane replied.
''Well, I was hoping to look at all the guilds in the kingdom to find which is the best, but it's been a long day and I'm down for a meal'' Natsu said as he scratched the back of his head.
''Well, as the guild master, Makarov Dreyar, I hope you will enjoy your time here and I'm hoping that you two young ones change your mind. EVERYONE, THE BOOZE IS ON ME, SHOWE OUR NEW VISITORS THE SPIRIT OF FAIRY TAIL!'' Everyone in the guild cheered and started making more noise. Makarov left Natsu and Mirajane alone as he was about to drink a bottle of beer. Natsu and Mirajane were stunned from what they saw.
''They're really something?''
'Screw that! These people will make me go crazy'' Natsu thought.
'You're not already crazy? Because brat, you're one of the weirdest people that I've ever met'' Lilith said.
'I don't know what the problem is with me being a pyromaniac is. It's a way for me to show my emotions and what I think about the world and plus, they don't look really impressive.'
'Don't judge a book by its cover and don't tell me you're going to leave the Strauss siblings'
'Don't tell me you care about them, Lilith?'
'Not really, but it's surprising that they didn't reject her and the only sibling who is interesting to me is Mirajane' she said.
Natsu and Mirajane ate far away from Elfman and Lisanna who seemed to join a bunch of children in the guild. Mirajane stared at her plate as Natsu ate a huge piece of meat. Then, she turned her head towards the Fire Dragon Slayer who seemed to stop eating.
''Natsu, what are you going to do next? It seems you don't enjoy being here'' she asked.
''The food may be good, but those in the guild are not very impressive. I was hoping they would have some strong members and not a random group of nobodies'' he replied.
''So strength is the only thing that matters to you?''
''...No. Sure I want to get stronger but only because it benefits me, but that doesn't mean I don't want to have any friend. I just don't make friends on the first meeting'' he said seriously as Mirajane still stared at him.
''De you think of me as your friend?'' her blue orbs still gazed at his green ones.
''Well...I think, yeah, I don't know why, but I feel like I can trust you like I trust Elfman and Lisanna, but at a lower level. Why do you ask that?''
''I'm just curious how you got that tattoo on your wrist and the odd magical aura around you and your necklace'' Natsu's eyes widened as Mirajane was a little bit scared that she offended him.
'Shit! She can sense my Demon powers, well let's see how she will react to my secret, maybe she will accept me' he thought.
''You and me, outside'' he said seriously. Before she could reply, Elfman and Lisanna arrived with happiness on their face and with them were a young girl with scarlet hair and a boy with spiky black hair. The girl had her hair in a braid and she had brown eyes, a white shirt with a long blue skirt, a breastplate and a sword on her thigh. While the boy only wore a pair of boxers.
''Mira-nee, look! We've already make friends, this is Erza and this is Gray. Erza and Gray, this is our sister Mirajane and our friend Natsu'' Lisanna said as the two named were just about to leave.
''Lisanna talked about you two and she said that you're quite strong, Natsu. Are you interested in joining the guild?'' she asked with a smile as Natsu completely ignored her and began to leave as he took Mirajane's arm.
''Hey!'' she said feeling offended that the pink haired young boy didn't reply. Gray who didn't like the cold shoulder of the pink haired boy, blocked the way with an annoyed on his face.
''Hey she's asking you are question! You should say something'' his dark blue eyes narrowed as Natsu simply ignored him and went towards guild door, but the raven haired boy still blocked his way.
''I asked you a question, you should reply, you weirdo. Besides, I have never seen someone with such a stupid hair color, seriously, pink?'' he taunted as Natsu's green eyes narrowed and gave a deadly glare that could kill the young boy several times over.
'This loser dares to mock my hair. Hump, looks like I need to release some steam' the Fire Dragon Slayer smirked as Lilith perfectly knew what would happen.
'Looks like this brat will learn the hard way not to insult your hair. Show him who the boss is, Natsu' she said with lust in her voice. Natsu heard the lustful tone, but ignored it.
''What did you say, Stripper...''
''I said your hair looks stupid, you weirdo!'' Gray yelled as Natsu simply chuckled until he got a predator-like smirk that the Strauss' knew perfectly well.
'Oh No, he did it. Gray, you should never insult Natsu's pink hair' Lisanna thought.
'At least Gray will not die, right...right?' Elfman thought.
''Funny from a guy who wears nothing, but a pair of boxers. Didn't your mom suck enough cocks to buy clothes for her little son?'' Everyone in the guild stopped what they were doing as they all heard the insult of their guest.
''What did you say?!''
''You could hear it perfectly well, but I guess the truth hurts. I'm pretty sure she's a stripper as well since you took the example of her and I guess your father didn't care about you. I mean, what dad would want their children to have the same tendencies of the people they fuck. Yeah, I'm sure your dad prefers to use his money with strippers and whores rather than his bitch of a wife and bastard son'' Natsu grinned madly knowing that he touched a sensible spot.
''You bastard! My parents are dead!''
''Good for them, they should feel ashamed to see their son turning into a 5000 jewels stripper. What is you scene name, Ice Princess or Ice Popsicle or even better, Ice dildo. Don't tell me you treat your clients like this? Your guild has pretty low standards in choosing their members if they accepted you'' Gray saw red, an aura of cold ice and energy covered him and with his hands, he created a large hammer of ice.
''You will regret insulting my parents and our guild! Ice Make: Hammer!'' Gray yelled as Natsu watched the hammer of ice coming at him and surprised everyone present, excluding the Strauss'. Natsu simply stopped the attack and the ice hammer disappeared in the blink of an eye.
''So you're an Ice Mage? This is the weakest Ice that I've ever seen, I've even met monsters with ice stronger than yours and at least they don't use it to create ice sex-toys to play with themselves... do you prefer big ones or small ones?'' Natsu sneered as Gray was still shocked that his spell was so easily stopped.
''Natsu, you shouldn't use such language in front of Lisanna and Elfman, they didn't get the talk yet'' the older Strauss said with a cute pout as Natsu quickly changed his expression and had a sorry face.
''Sorry, but I don't give a shit.''
''Natsu, they're only twelve and eleven years old!'' Mirajane said as Natsu shrugged. Sayla gave him the talk but Lilith gave more details since she was the Demon of lust. She explained her sexual adventures with men and women as Natsu was forced to listen. Ever since, he sometimes imagined doing the same things with Lilith. He hadn't even reached puberty yet, but he already saw women in another way.
''Hey, don't ignore me you asshole! Apologize for what you said about my parents, what about your parents? They should feel ashamed to raise a dick with a girly hair color'' Gray taunted, hoping that the pink haired boy, but to his disappointment, Natsu didn't get angry and still had smirk that he hated on his face.
''Well I didn't know my mother and my dad left me last years ago and I'm glad they did. Even if they didn't, I'm sure that I wouldn't have become a whiny stripper with no talent in magic. Seriously, Ice Make is dull, this is a waste of time, spending it on a little bitch like you. Seriously, a hammer? Of all the things you could possibly think you chose a hammer. Furthermore, don't tell me all of you treat guests and future members like that or is that just your thing?''
''At least I don't hang around with weirdos!'' Gray yelled as he pointed at Mirajane.
''Gray that's our sister, you dummy!'' Lisanna said annoyed that Gray insulted her big sister. Before he could reply, Natsu appeared in front of him with flames dancing around him and grabbed his neck before smacking him into the ground with little effort. At the moment of the impact the little body of Gray created a hole in the wooden floor. Barely conscious, Gray glared at the young Fire mage with hatred.
''Y-you flaming bastard...You will play for this'' Natsu put his foot on his chest and put pressure on it. Gray was in pain as Natsu stopped smirking and had a cold expression. Everyone in the guild could feel the heat rise up a bit.
''Listen to me, you cheap stripper, I don't care if you insult me, but never insult my friends you piece of shit and if you do that again, I'll make sure that you'll never reach puberty'' Natsu finally said as he spat on Gray's face and went to the door with Mirajane who had a scared expression on her face. She had only seen the expression of the Fire Dragon Slayer once before during their travel. That was when they met the angry villagers who followed them, The Strauss' had then seen a side of the pink haired they had never seen before.
''How could you do that to him! You almost killed him!'' Erza yelled, shocked from what she had seen. Natsu didn't look at her as he shrugged.
''Please, even if I really wanted to kill him. I wouldn't have done that until the moment he decided to insult my hair, you should tell him that it's rude to judge the appearance of your guests if they want to be members of your guild'' Natsu said as he shrugged, not caring about Erza's words. The scarlet haired girl tried to talk back, but in the end, the pink haired bot was right.
''You seem smarter than this weakling so I will make this simple. Talk shit about my hair and you will never see the sunrise again.''
''But that doesn't give you the right to beat him up and I don't see the big deal about your hair, even if it has an odd color'' Erza said but didn't see the glare of the Fire Dragon Slayer.
''I bet nobody said that your hair has the same color of period blood'' he muttered loud enough to hear. Mirajane released small giggles as Erza saw red. She took out her sword from her scabbard and pointed it at Natsu.
''Take back what you said!'' she yelled as she charged at him. To her surprise and the surprise of everyone in the guild, Natsu appeared in front of her and sent a fist covered with fire into her stomach. The blow sent Erza flying across the guild before she hit a table. Erza who was still conscious and holding her stomach couldn't believe what was happening.
''He's defeated Erza with one attack!''
''No way! That kid is strong.''
''Not bad, you can take a punch unlike this weakling over here. If you take training seriously, maybe you can touch me'' Natsu with a smirk that enraged the scarlet hair girl as he took Mirajane's hand and left the guild.
''Master, you have to do something, he can't leave like that after what he's done to Gray and I'' Erza tried to explain, but Makarov stopped her with a serious face.
''Technically he's right. Don't expect everyone who will join the guild to take an insult as a way to join our family. I can't control his actions since he's not a Fairy Tail member and I wouldn't be surprised if he decides to join another guild.''
''Humph serves him right! We don't need a jackass like him here'' Gray said but everyone ignored his comment. After that, Lisanna walked to the side of the short man and said.
''Do you think he may join your guild, Gramps? Because I don't want to lose a friend and my sister too. She didn't seem happy about being here'' Makarov expression changed to a soft one as Elfman put his hand on her shoulder.
''Don't worry, Lisanna, I'm sure that they will join Fairy Tail too'' Elfman said as he tried to reassure the younger Strauss sibling. The short man didn't say anything, as he was lost in his thoughts.
'He's very different from the other kids, but I see something different in him. He may be exactly like her, but the same, no...If you join this guild boy, you'll make things much more interesting' he thought.
''Okay, now that we're alone, tell me how you can feel the strange energy from my necklace?'' asked an agitated Natsu of a confused and terrified Mirajane as they were alone in the deserted town at midnight. Natsu still tried to understand how his white haired friend could feel the energy as Lilith was silent and waiting to see what would happen.
''I didn't know how, but at the moment we met you, I saw a strange aura around you which was similar to when I absorbed the Demon. But I didn't tell anybody about it'' Mirajane explained as Natsu's face turned neutral.
''Look, Mira, I consider you to be my friend, but if I show something, you must promise to keep my secret for yourself and only you.''
''What about Elfman and Lisanna?''
''It would be smarter if you're the first to know. But please, don't freak out'' the pink haired young boy said as an aura of orange flames covered him completely much to Mirajane's surprise. Then, shortly after, the aura of flames disappeared completely showing the new appearance of Natsu. Mirajane was shocked from what she saw. In front to her was her friend with red locks in his spiky hair, black marks on his body with two large red horns on the sides of his head with pointed ears. His arms turned completely into scarlet scales and his hands became two red claws. Black marks formed around his eyes and a long scaly red tail with an arrow-shaped head grew from behind his pants.
Natsu awaited the reaction of the white haired girl who stared at him with big eyes. In his heart, he was hoping that Mirajane would still consider him as a friend, but his head told him to put her down if she considered him a like monster to protect his secret.
''...That's...amazing!'' she said.
''What?''
''Your claws look very sharp and your ears are exactly like an elf's...and is it normal that your tail is moving on his own?'' she said with curiosity in her eyes that caught Natsu and Lilith off guard. He expected her to start crying or to run away, but Mirajane gave him praise on how he looked.
''You're not afraid of me? I'm not human, you know and I'm not sure if it's me or the tail himself'' he scratched his hair.
''Well, at first, I was scared when we traveled with you. I expected you to kill us while we were sleeping, but you proved me wrong and I didn't tell anybody since I didn't want to upset you'' she stared at the floor as she had a little blush on her pale cheeks.
''So you're afraid of me?''
''Not really, but I want to know how you became like that'' she said as she raised his head and showed a glance of determination. Natsu hesitated for a bit before finally shrugging his shoulders and explained everything to the white haired young girl on how he became a Demon Hybrid. Mirajane was shocked when she heard that her friend was a Dragon Slayer raised and abandoned by his father, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her friend. However the part that caught her attention was when he explained how he got his demonic powers and his Devil Slayer Magic and meeting Lilith, his master who was helping him in controlling his powers. She looked at her arm deep in thought. She thought having Demon powers would make you a bad person, but after seeing Natsu and hearing about his older brother figure Dyrus, her problems seemed to not bother her anymore.
''Natsu...can you teach me how to become like you?''
''Wait, can you repeat that again?''
''From the moment I touched the Demon and my arm became like this, I believed what the people of the village said. But after meeting and seeing the real you, it changed my mind along with what the old man said. I decided to embrace my powers and accept that being different is not a bad thing. Also, I don't want to lose you...you're a very precious person to me'' she explained as Natsu simply listened to her with his arms crossed.
''Are you sure about that? My view of humans did change after becoming a Demon Hybrid. I don't love them, but I don't hate them either. You and your siblings are the exception of the rule. But if you want to train with me, you have to give up your humanity. That way that you never can go back. Are you ready to take the risk?'' he asked.
''Since my parents' death, I always was scared and worried for Elfman and Lisanna because I didn't have the power to protect them, but after meeting you and becoming like this, I will gladly become a Demon to become stronger for myself to protect the people that I love!'' she said with determination. Natsu simply smirked as he turned into his human form and put his hand on Mirajane's shoulder.
"Then you gave me a reason to stay, Mira, I'm really glad that you accept me as I am and not follow those mindless sheep."
"You better be, you don't think that I'd control Scarlet alone by myself? You won't get away that easily." she replied with confidence in her voice that surprised Natsu.
'Her attitude changed in a fraction of a second? I will never get girls. What do you think Lilith, feeling happy to have a female apprentice?' he asked to the orange haired Demon who didn't answer back as she stared at the young girl from the necklace.
"This strange magical aura...no it can't be him unless he had children, you're a big puzzle, Mirajane Strauss, and I will enjoy this when Natsu will claim her as his mate. Yeah, that will be exciting' she thought with lust.
"So when will we start training? Tomorrow or now, I'm so excited!'' Mirajane said with excitement. To her surprise, Natsu let out a small chuckle that seem unimaginable.
''You have to wait and we need to find something important first and why you looking at me like that?''
''You chuckled…I thought you couldn't do that?''
''Hey, I'm not heartless you know!'' Natsu pouted as Mirajane giggled. Unknown to them a strange shadow had been watching them since they got out from the guild.
''Time to make my report to Kyouka-sama'' the shadow said before disappearing into the shadows.
''Let me go! I have to find that bastard!'' said an annoyed Gray who was tied up to a wooden beam. Makarov simply watched the young boy struggle for his freedom.
''Gray, you should think twice before you speak to people and you can't get revenge just because he insulted you'' the short man simply said.
''But Master, shouldn't you worry that a mage like him is walking freely in the town? That boy can be very dangerous'' Erza said as she still remembered the short fight with the pink haired young boy.
''I don't think that is a problem anymore'' he replied as Erza was confused. Then the guild doors opened and they saw Natsu and Mirajane enter. Elfman and Lisanna walked in their direction.
''Mira-nee! Natsu you came back!'' Lisanna yelled happily.
''Did you change your mind?''
Before any of them could respond, Makarov interrupted them with a serious look on his face.
''So did you make your decision, child?'' Makarov asked. Natsu took a deep breath and finally said.
''We want to join the guild, old man'' Natsu declared. If Makarov was surprised, he didn't show it. The two younger Strauss' were happy that their friends and big sister decided to join the guild. Erza and Gray were not happy that the pink haired boy joined their guild, but they had no say in the matter.
''For real, Natsu?'' Lisanna asked with stars in her eyes.
''Well, it would suck to be alone and you're one of rare people that I don't want to miss'' Natsu shrugged as he was thinking that he might meet stronger members of this guild if he stayed.
''Before both of you join, can you show me your magic?'' Makarov asked of Natsu which got the attention of Elfman and Lisanna as the Strauss', excluding Mirajane, always wanted to know. Natsu simply nodded as he tried to use his normal dragon flames. Then, he gathered magic in his mouth, puffed his cheeks and released a large stream of orange flames into the air. Everyone was surprised by the size and the power of the flames. Then, Natsu finished with a smirk showing his pointed teeth and his iris' slitted.
''Watch out bitches, never mess with a Fire Dragon Slayer or you will get burned!'' he pointed himself as Makarov's jaw dropped on the floor.
''...''
''...''
''...''
''Shit.''
Unknown location
''So he joined a human guild, huh?'' Kyoka said as she stared at the strange shadow in front her.
''Yes, Kyoka-sama, and he found a girl who has the power to absorb Demons as well. Natsu-san decided to train her in controlling her Demon Factor'' the shadow said.
''Hmm, interesting, he joined a human guild and this girl is quite intriguing. What's the name of the guild he's joining?''
''Fairy Tail. Should I kill the girl?''
''...No, if Natsu-kun befriended a human, she's special to him so he needs to be alive. Your new mission is to get more information on this girl and only her'' Kyouka said as the shadow nodded and disappeared into the dark. Then the green haired Demon turned herself toward a young beautiful woman. The young woman looked to be in her twenties with silver hair and matching eyes. Her hair, which flowed all the way down her back, featured a long braid on each side with two small blue bows at the ends, while the rest is let down, ending in twin braids. She is seen wearing a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white maid headband over her head, with red lipstick as a cosmetic accessory.
''I've found a new task for you. You are to be the maid of Natsu-kun. You will watch him over and help with his Devil Slayer Magic training and you are to follow his orders. I trust Lilith, but you're also a Demon hybrid and this woman will jump on him at any second.'' Kyouka explained as the silver haired maid bowed to her.
''Should I tell him about you?'' she asked with a stoic face.
''You may if you need to earn his trust. I also expect you to give me a report every day, is that clear Grayfia?''
''Yes, Kyouka-san, I must prepare my baggage if I am to travel to Fiore'' the silver haired Devil Slayer bowed again before leaving the room and leaving Kyouka alone as the green haired Demon brought out a picture of a sleeping pink haired boy.
''Soon, Natsu-kun, I will be able to take you in my arms'' she hugged the picture with a bit of lust in her voice.
Hope you love this chapter, I was really surprised for this story that I really want more to write. Next chapter will bring a bit more action and your favorite only cannon female Dragon Slayer and Grayfia, recently I started to watch High School DxD for the character and a lot of free time XD. I got bad news and good news. I will not continue writing Salamander rises because I lost the inspiration for the story and don't like the way of the story go but don't worry, I will bring up some of my idea in this story like: Female Laxus( I could see Laxus have attraction with Natsu if he was a woman, don't if you don't believe it look it up on my page) (Lanillia of course!,) (Volkner as well, every man character need a best buddy to support their silliness even I will change his story a bit and the way that this Natsu will go, he will never considered Gray as a friend) and some of the God Slayers that I created. Please review and see next chapter.
