Chapter Eighteen – Natsu's Story
Dedication too; eminem4ever & x-baka-x, for reviewing
-A/n; Natsu – I. If you start to get confused-
I saw her smirk as she came out of the room. I kept my distance not wanting to be hurt as she was at the end of the hall I could hear her laugh; it was cold, like it always was. When I was born I chose to be a River Spirit, I looked over my river with cautious eyes, just like he did. My river was destroyed after his.
I knew I shouldn't but I did. I looked into the door and saw a girl lying on the bed, she looked like the same girl (only older) which fell into his river; I still don't understand why he saved a Human. I walked the way to my to my room, knowing what would happed if I stuck around for too long. I went over to the window opened it and sat down with my legs dangling over the edge I looked towards the sky and sighed. After a few months of working under her I tried to escape, she caught me, and I was taught a lesson. I wonder how he did it… escaped her I mean, but he always had a knack for not wanting to be found. I knew that, she was calling; I rolled my eyes and walked out and down the hall thinking. Brother where are you?
-A/n: Hears thuds all around from mouths hitting desks…-
I had to walk by her room I couldn't help myself I opened the door and I stared at her, while she stared at me I yelled
'Help, Mistress Yuan!! She fell from her bed! Mistress!'
I went over to her she looked wasted I sat down next to her
'Are you alright little Miss?'
Oh my kami I didn't just say that? I should not have called her Little Miss; if she finds out she'll kill me. I hear Yuan- my mother come in as her voice called
'Natsu leave.'
I shivered; if she heard I called her "Little Miss" I'm so done for.
I stepped outside, and I heard her start talking;
'No use calling him, girl, he wont come.'
'Huh?'
I heard her sigh over dramatically
'Humans these days. Girl you tried to kill me! ...Yes, you did.'
She didn't say anything
'You blacked out right after that didn't you? Human child, crossed with a Spirit soul, never should mix.'
Whoa new one on me, maybe that's why he saved her…
'Humans don't know what they are dealing with! Until they are at deaths door!! You're Dragon wont come. I made sure of it; you don't even know how I am do you Human?'
I waited for her to say something if she truly was a Half Spirit like any Spirit, they wouldn't torment talks like this… I knew it was coming, knew it because she wasn't saying anything
'I am Lady Yuan! Lady of the skies! You Humans disgust me, to the end of your lives; you do nothing but sit around killing everything so you can have your laziness!'
I felt my eyes roll
'What did I ever do to you!?'
Ah, that was five minutes longer then I would have taken
'You killed me!'
'What do you expect when you're saying stuff to me about how I will die? When I'm not actually dead!! How can one human destroy the Lady of the Skies?! And besides you're not even dead!'
Ohh s-n-a-a-a-p!
'You are neither Human nor Spirit!'
She ignored it!
'Then what am I then!?'
A Spirit and Human all mixed together – Half Spirit-t! But technically a Human since you was born one. You became a Half Spirit. Kami am I the only one who knows things around here?
'A PUPPET!'
'We all are!'
Two for her none for mother! I scored this in my brain. Her footing changed and I scooted up the hall when it came to a folk I stopped knowing this is where she wants me to wait.

Another day passed and she was still here, the only reason she kept her here was to torment me and him I don't know what she meant by he wont come, if he's alive he'll come, I know he will. I quietly sneaked down the hall into her room
'Little Miss?'
Damn it! I called her Little Miss again!
She looked at me and I wondered what she was thinking, I wondered if she noticed I had a resemblance to Haku, but even if she asked I couldn't tell her. He most likely had forgotten me. I quietly went over to her and I don't even know why I did it but I bowed… then to my complete surprise-
'I am sorry for the Mistress, little Miss, she can get quite angry when challenged.' I said this while my head was still bowed
'Challenged?' she asked as I straitened out
'Yes, little Miss.'
Damn I called her it again!
'How have I done that? By trying to keep myself alive?'
She has spark, I like you. But of course you'll never know that. I thought sadly
'No little Miss, you see she thinks you stole her son.'
Here we go one, two-
'Excuse me?' Chihiro almost shrieked
Got to two…
'The young master named Haku is the Mistress's son.'
I'm so gonna say hello to that old friend the wall.
'Whoa, back up and stop!'
What did she just say? I thought as I blinked in surprise and confusion
'How can Haku be her son? When he's a River Spirit and she's a Lady of the Skies?'
Why must I explain this? Haku, why didn't you explain this to her?
'Each Spirit which is born in the Spirit World can choose what they govern over.'
'What are you then?'
You really wanna know? I'm like my brother. Simple! Not…
I didn't ask her she then looked around the room with a clear question mark over her head
'Why does this room look Human made?'
'..It- was… made, for… you…'
Oh Kami I can't lie to her! I'm doomed. Wall!!
She blinked at me. Words blurring at me I said quickly and quietly;
'I should go; I'm not supposed to be here.'
Ohh, that old friend the wall is starting to look familiar
'Wait! You have to help me out of here.'
Why must you ask? I shook my head vigorously
'I can't do that little Miss, I'm sorry.'
Okay count! How many times this convocation have I said the line Little Miss?!
I got up then bowed then left the room as silently as I came.
I went back to my room and hit my head on the friendly wall for two minutes straight then realizing it wasn't healthy I stopped only to sigh to the window and sleep.

It was late morning and I knew I missed breakfast, it didn't matter, and I wasn't hungry anyways. I opened the window and heard the whisperers at their work, they told me my mother was away. I shut the window and walked out my room and down the hall.
I walked into her room and shut the door as silently as I could, I bowed knowing I should respect her, I knew now why I was bowing, even if she did not I knew why I was calling her Little Miss. All because my brother loves her
'Natsu?'
I shivered at the fact that she knew my name, but I looked up wondering what she was going to ask
'Yes little Miss?'
She looked like she was pondering something
'… Have you ever thought of running away, Natsu?'
Uh-oh, I looked at her and I blinked fearfully. Then mentally asked in my head, why? Wouldn't you?
'N-no.'
She looked as if she was wondering again
'How old are you Natsu?'
If I tell her that she'll know for sure, I blinked blankly. I tried to get a face of as if I didn't know what an age was
'You look as old as me-'
I do? Wow, thanks for the complement… but I can't tell you… If you keep talking to me, I'm gonna blur it out, stop talking!
'Enough please stop.' I said trying to sound pleading, and making my face go pale I looked at the floor and she went quiet
'I must go Little Miss.' I said then bowed and walked out.
I ran all the way to my room and collapsed onto my bed crying, I hated lying to the girl, I couldn't take it… I could take my mothers torture but I couldn't take lying to her, her! If she was here any longer I'd hurt myself for lying to her all the time. I shook my head in the covers of my bed and the tears seized.
I fell asleep uneasily I felt as if someone was nudging me, trying to keep me awake, but when I turned around no one would there, I half expected to see the girl, which I had no idea of her name. Only that she was my brothers…. I cleared my throat at that thought.

Third time morning, she was still here. My mother told me to check up on her, so I did. I opened the door slowly and saw she was sleeping, but something told me she would wake soon. I sighed and closed the door then went and told her she was asleep then went back to my window in my room, listening to the whisperers whisper about whatever they had the whisper about
Blah, blah, blah, I lost track of what they were saying a long time ago now it just sounded like that, blah, blah, blah. I knew it wasn't blah, blah, blah, but it sounded something towards that direction of words to me that is. I sighed, I then remembered the barrier around this place, no one could get in, to my horror I stood up so fast I fell down again, so even if Haku could remember this place he wouldn't be able to get in. the whisperers were now chattering excitedly about my mother leaving. A small creepy smile crept onto my face. I then ran out of the room and down the hall and skidded to a halt so fast my hair came around my shoulders, and I also nearly tripped. I flicked my hair back then I opened the door and looked at her she was still asleep, knowing my mother she could have poisoned her. So much for your help. I sent to her, and she sleep on, I restrained my eyes from rolling then closed the door and ran down the hall turning left at the fork my mother always told me to wait at before meals, turned left, then right, left again, lost count how many turns of left and rights I took, then skidded to another halt seeing a door leading outwards I opened the door and closed it when I was outside. I then placed my hand outwards trying to get the spell my mother placed on the place off, it came off, I think she forgets that I'm more powerful then her. I just tend to not show her.

I didn't know how long Haku would be I didn't know how long she'd be, so against all odds she'd come first. I just hope he gets here first. I went inside the house closing the door half way then running all the way across the house, believe me this house isn't small. Turning into another hall I skidded to a halt seeing someone-
That someone was Haku.
-Muka muka! …. And I have no idea what that word means! I really hope I surprised you with Natsu being Haku's sister in all, but I think I gave too many clues away. Oh wells, R&R!! Please!-
