Ok so I know this chapter is going to feel super choppy, it wasn't exactly planned, but I wanted to get somewhere. I didn't want to spend too much time on the infinity clock or Grand magic games so I kinda just put small things for NaLu, that will be important later. So I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: Nope still don't own it.

Two Caring Hearts

It had happened again... Lucy was safe now and the infinity clock was taken care of... but he was still having these headaches. Though they were never as bad as when they first started, after he thought he saw a person, he still got them, and saw blurry images that he felt he should recognize. Sometimes they would have voices with them too. He knew he should know the voice of the person, he recognized Igneel's, and his own. But who was it? That's when his head would hurt worse, and things got blurry. There was a mystery person in his head and he didn't know who it was and it was driving him insane.

"NATSU!" Lucy's scream snapped him out of his thoughts. Then came the foot and the next thing he knew he was in the wall. She really needed to stop being so surprised when he snuck into her apartment.

~break~

Well it was the grand magic games, and he had just stormed the Sabortooth guild for hurting Yukino. There was no way in hell he was going to let them do such terrible things and not pay for it. He didn't really know Yukino that well but she deserved better, anyone does. He was resting up for the next day.

~break~

Lucy was getting pumbled and he knew something was wrong, then he heard her and Flare talking, and jumped into action so Lucy could fight. When it was done and somehow her spell had failed he walked up to her and told her that he was proud. And she cried, but that was ok.

~break~

That witch was beating Lucy and Natsu was barley containing himself. Then he heard her heart stop. Wendy must have heard it too and Grey probably sensed it from them, Natsu snapped. He sprinted along with Grey to catch Lucy, and he knew he would never forgive Minerva. He wouldn't leave Lucy's side in the hospital room. He knew she would be ok but he wouldn't leave her. They had a talk, one that made him feel a strange warmness light up inside him and made its ways to his cheeks. He didn't know what it was but he kinda liked it. It felt kinda familiar...

Later it was time to go get Lucy back from prison, and he was in the hallway alone, Happy was getting them some lunch before they left, but Natsu was having the headache again. Why the hell do these keep happening? He leaned against a wall and steadied his breath, or at least he tried too. The pain always seemed to take him to those pictures, and voices. Why did these come up at the worse times? He had a mission to do, and was going to save Lucy again... sometimes he felt that that was what triggered them, when he worried about Lucy.

He sensed a familiar presence and knew it was Mavis. He was wondering what she was doing here... then she silently walked up to him and touched her hand to his head and seemed to be casting a spell. The pain faded away, and the visions stopped. He stopped his sweating, and felt normal again. He let a small sigh of relief out, and then figured something out.

"It was you?!" He whispered. He didn't know why, but he felt like he needed to. He didn't realize that the first master had already been near them so long ago. He looked at her with the question written on his face. She didn't say anything but gave him another look in return. He felt it was something tender, cause she looked so sad but smiled at him anyhow.

"Yes Natsu, and I'm sure you don't know why. But my reasons are my own. I want you to know that your a good friend, and you represent the guild better then anyone I've seen other then Makorav, and I believe your are an incredible person, but your past is catching up to you I'm afraid." She said a little more serious. He looked at her funny, and she knew he didn't understand.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you everything, but someone from long ago is back and is watching you. It's someone you trust, but also someone you should fear. For when he makes his move again, you will loose everything. I know you are going to rescue Lucy, and you will come back alive, but promise me you will always protect her. Natsu, will you promise me that you will never let her go?" Natsu looked at her like she was crazy, but he knew he would always be there for Lucy.

" I don't know what your getting at Mavis, but I can promise you that I will always protect Lucy." Natsu was unnaturally serious, and Mavis knew he had strong feelings for her, even if he didn't know what they were yet. She gave him that sad smile again, and then said. "Good, then I can relax a little. Good luck on your mission Natsu." He nodded to her, but then he was about to ask what she meant by someone he trusted when Happy came back with food. Mavis turned to disappear, but Natsu was determined to get one last word in.

"You are one strange spirit first master, but thank you. I won't let you down." He flashed her his signature goofy grin, and she wondered how cruel fate really was.

The conversation between Natsu and Mavis isn't as good as I had hoped to get it, its kinda ooc, but it was supposed to be short and mysterious, so I decided to leave it. Well tell me what you think!

Oh and I revised this and added some stuff like 5 hours after I posted it, because I had re-read it later and saw all the mistakes and also was more refreshed so I could fix it up a little better. So if you read it right away it might be good to re-read it cause its 20% cooler now. ;)
