Here's chapter 11~ I know the chapters are always out late, but there is some crap goin on in my "oh-so-complicated" life
ANYWAYS!
Enjoy~
[Natsu's pov]
"WHAT?!" once every one calmed down after their little outburst I grabbed one of the towels that was sitting on the chair that was closest to the door.
"I'm goin' inside, dry up and I'll introduce you to my family" I watched for a split second as the group nodded before I turned and walked inside, dad taking the lead.
"so, didn't know you were having guests"
"yeah . . . I have my reasons though"
"I expect an explanation later though"
"yeah yeah old man" dad let out a small chuckle at my antics before he sat down
"Gran, Wendy and Metalicana's outside if ya wanna let 'em in" I hummed before walking towards the front door and opening it only to have a body smash into mine to which I promptly picked up and threw over my shoulder.
"Natsu~" I laughed at the intro before taking in her appearance. She wore a long sleeved dark purple and white dress with black stockings underneath. Her hair, a dark blue, were held up by 2 ribbons. (GMG's outfit if you don't know what I'm trying to describe ~)
"hey Wens, How's it goin?"
"good" Wendy let out a chuckle before I set her down and gave a blue haired woman who looked like an older version of Wendy wearing a casual white dress, Grandeny, a kiss on the cheek
"hey mum"
"hi Natsu, how are you?" she smiled at me
"I'm good, how are you?"
"I'm good" just as the words left her mouth a tall figure with short pitch black hair wearing cargo shorts and a baggy black shirt with piercings and pitch black eyes, came barrelling through the door crashing into me
"HEY BRAT!"
"GET OFF A ME YOU HEAVY ASSED SHIT!"
"HEY! Is that how you talk to your uncle?" I watched as he pouted
"stop pouting uncle, and they said I was childish" I whispered only to have the small group laugh at me.
[no one's pov]
Natsu, Wendy, Grandeny and Metalicana walked into the living room just as the others came into the living room from the pool
"GAJEEL!"
"DAD!"
"WHAT 'RE YOU DOIN' HERE?!/WHAT THE FUCK 'RE YOU DOING HERE?!"
"WHAT?!" Natsu was the one to scream now
"oh yeah, Natsu, meet Gajeel, he's your cousin"
"YOU ONLY TOLD ME NOW?!"
"MY COUSIN IS A FUCKING MAFIA LEADER?!"
Igneel and Metalicana stared at each other before they looked at them both and shrugged while saying "yeah"
Natsu and Gajeel looked at each other before Wendy decided to speak up
"does that mean Gajeel-san is my cousin?" everyone looked to the girl who was standing at the head of the couch.
"who're you?"
"I'm Natsu's sister!"
"so . . . this squirt's my cousin too?"
"hey!"
"yup" responded the red headed man before the black haired one started chuckling loudly.
"I'm goin' up ta get changed" Gajeel started walking up the stairs and the others followed soon after with Wendy yelling a quick "I'm coming too!" while the Dragneels and Redfox trailed them with their eyes.
Just as they were out of view and earshot a few seconds after the atmosphere changed drastically and Grandeny was the one to speak up.
"who is she?"
"I'll have to tell you later, who do you think she is?"
"Layla's" came a small whisper from the red haired man. Natsu stayed silent. About 5 minutes past before all hell broke through
"Why the FUCK would you hide this?!" he was outraged and they all knew it
"WHAT DID YOU WAN'T ME TO DO?!" Grandeny and Metalicana stilled and tensed as they watched Natsu lean forwards in the chair he was seated in with angered eyes while Igneel stood up.
"I don't know, TELL US!"
"how the fuck could I do that?! You're lucky that I realised that she was Layla's daughter otherwise she would have been-"
"what?" everyone in the room stilled and snapped their heads in the direction of the stairs where the group of teens and Wendy stood. Lucy at the front with wide eyes.
"what are you talking about?" although quiet, no one responded
"what are you FUCKING, TALKING ABOUT?!" all the adults and Natsu flinched at her shriek before Metalicana spoke up in a surprisingly gentle voice
"it's not what you're thinking"
"and how do you know that?" her tone was deadly
"because it's clear in your voice. If anything, your thinking of it in the wrong way" Lucy stilled before turning and running up the stairs. Everyone was silent before they heard a loud slam coming from the third floor.
Grandeny stood up before speaking quietly "I'll talk to her" but before she could reach the stairs, Erza, Gray, Laxus and Mira blocked it
"you're not going up until we know what the hell's going on"
"that's classified information" Natsu spoke for the first time since they returned from upstairs
"and why's that?" Erza spoke slowly, as if testing the boundaries, but Natsu didn't respond. He only turned to Gray.
"remember what I told you? Gray."
"how could I forget"
"tell me what I told you then"
"you said to 'not trust anyone but Gildarts and Gildarts only'"
"correct, so if you know what's good for all of you, I suggest you let my mother through"
The group froze, as if uncertain, before Gray lowered his guard and moved aside. Erza, Laxus and Mira following his lead soon after but with narrowed eyes.
Natsu stood up and stretched before making his way towards the basement
"if you're staying here than tell Gildarts to prepare a room for you guys. We'll discuss things later" Igneel and Metalicana watched Natsu walk away while Wendy watched the scene with a heart broken look in her eyes as tears gathered.
Igneel looked at his daughter before he walked to her making the others next to her take a few uncertain steps back, upon reaching her he picked her up and carried the young girl on his hip
"don't worry 'bout him Wendy"
"but . . . I wan't Natsu back" the tears that were once gathered at her eyes finally fell silently before they hit the floor. Igneel watched his daughter with a sad look in his eyes before he turned towards the outdoor pool
"let's go play outside, what'ya say?" Wendy slowly nodded.
