Hey guys it's me again, sorry for the late update. I have a new fanfiction coming out soon so make sure you check it out~. Anyways here is chapter 7 of "Why Gray?"


Chapter 7: The past of the one you love...

Gray's Pov

When I woke up, I wasn't in Lucy's house any more. I was in a cellar, there was dried blood on the floor going in from the doorway. There was water dripping down from the roof, and there were chains attached to the walls. I tried to move, but I couldn't. I looked up to see what was holding me. It was chains attached to my arms and to my ankles.

"What the fuck?!" I tried to move my hands to break the chains but it was no use. Every time I moved my hand away from the wall the chain on my ankles would pull. I tried to find another way to get out of them but there was nothing. I heard noises from out side the door, like as if someone was walking to the door. The door soon opened, and someone walked in. I looked up and saw Natsu standing there with a twisted smirk on his face.

"N-Natsu? Is that you? Oh my god Natsu you had me worried sick... Come over here and help me out of these before someone else comes." He just stood there looking at me.

"..." Not even answering me.

"Natsu?" He then walked over to me and kneeled in front of me. His eyes weren't there normal colour they were a deep red.

"Who the fuck are you?! And where is Natsu?!" His face just continued to look the same.

"I am Natsu~ can't you see that Gray~?" He then moved his hands to my face to grip it, but I moved my head away from his grip.

"Your not Natsu!" He growled at me after what I had said. He then stood up so I had to look up at him.

"You will see that I am Natsu, I might not be the one you know, but I am him. Also, the other Natsu you have come to love and care for is no longer. So if I was you I would start breaking my chains to him." He couldn't be Natsu!... Could he? No! It can't! Natsu is kind, caring and would never do anything to hurt his Nakama!

"You aren't him! And you never will be!" He then moved one of his feet back then slammed it into my side. I screamed out in the pain now forming in my side.

"You will see that I am him." When I looked back up at his face, it was filled with a big twisted look and I knew that this wasn't Natsu. This was someone else. But I knew Natsu was still there and I was going to have to deal with this and hope that I could get through to Natsu...

Natsu's Pov

I watched as the body that once used to be all mine, hurt the one I love the most. I couldn't do any thing but sit here and cry... The tears were streaming down my face as I watched him call for me... I need to help him but how?

"Gray! I'm here! Can't you hear me! Gray!" The tears just continued to fall, he couldn't hear me at all... Nothing I said could get through to him... Nothing...

"Are you ready to let go yet?" I felt the rage inside me build as I heard him say that. I can't take this any more! I hate him! I want to kill him! He thinks that he can hurt my Nakama without getting in trouble! Well he can't! I won't let him!

I stood up and turned to him with my face filled with rage, but my eyes filled with sadness. He never got scared as I looked at him, he just stood there... Smirking at me... Like I was no threat... Like I was just a little crack in the side walk or something... That he could easily just walk over it... B-but why?

" if your trying to scare me, it isn't working~. Remember what I said, we are two parts to a whole. And we are the same, in every way~. There is nothing you could do that I couldn't, you are me. And I am you." My head was starting to hurt again... I couldn't stand it... More images where popping in my head... I felt to my knees as I moved my hands up to my head... My rage started to fade... And fear replaced it...

" I-I'm s-scared... H-help... Please... S-someone... H-help... Me... It... hurts..." My vision then faded back to those horrible fragments, that some call memories...

~ Memory 2~

When I opened my eyes I was in a dark cave. I was laying down on my back looking up at the dark ceiling, that had cold water dripping down from the bumpy cold surface. I heard someone taking, so I sat up to see what the noise was coming from. No body else was in the cave other than me. I stood up and followed the sound of a calming voice.

"Igneel, why are you in this disgraceful form? You are a king. Not some mortal human. Also why did you bring such a being into your home and ask me to heal him? You know we are not suppose to inter act with them." It was that girls voice... The one who saved me earlier... But that wasn't the voice I was looking for... Who was the one with the smoothing voice?

" your the one to talk, your just mad that you lost your first slayer because of what happened with the dragon council. I know you don't want me to get hurt like you, and I'm greatful from that. But I'm keeping him. He has nobody else, in the world. He said his family was killed by Acnolocgia. I can't just let him go." There that voice was, the smoothing voice I was looking for..

The girl sighed as she heard his reply. " if your going to keep him, at least show him your normal from, and not this, disgraceful one." When I reached the entrance of the cave all I saw was Igneel, talking with a big Blue Dragon... I was scared but I didn't mind it... She was just so beautiful. I walked up to them and they didn't even notice.

"Igneel-sama..." I looked up at him and pulled onto his vest. He jumped at the feeling.

"Natsu! When did you get here?!" He yelled as his voice was filled with shock and fear but only a little. I covered my eyes to block out the loud noise as I kept a straight face.

"..." He sighed at the fact that I can only say something's, but he still looked at me with those said eyes and smiled softly down.

"Come here, I want you to meet someone." I nodded and walked closer to him. Once I was in front of him, he then picked me up and put me on his lap and sat down on a rock.

"Grandinee, please come here. Natsu wants to see you. Right Natsu?" I looked up at him and nodded. She sighed at both of us.

"Fine..." The dragon then started to move closer to us and I was starting to have fragments of that night with the black dragon with those bright blue lines going every where... I put my hands to my head and closed my eyes trying to forget it...

'Natsu~'

My eyes then shot open, when I heard that voice that was oh so familiar...

'I know you can hear me Natsu~'

"G-go away!"

'But why Natsu~? I can help you~'

"You can... H-help me?"

'Yes~, Natsu~ I can. I can make all the pain go away~ all of it okay~?'

"Make all the pain go away?... "

'Yes~. Make all the pain go away~. You would like that wouldn't you~?'

"Y-yeah... It... It... Hurts!"

'I know how you feel~ all this pain from others put onto you~. It will be okay~ I'm going to fix it and we can both be happy~'

"I... Can... Be happy?"

'Yes~, now you don't need to worry about those rotten people who hurt you in the past. Now you can Start a new~'

"Start a new... Start a new..."

"Start a new..." Once that voice left I started to hear people yelling for me...

"-tsu! Natsu!" I then lifted my head only to see that the dragon that once was there, was now gone. And that woman was just standing there. I then felt something drop onto my hand, so I looked down... I... I was crying?! But why? Why am I crying?!

"Natsu, are you okay now?" I felt the arms around me pull me closer to the warm body behind me.

"I-Igneel..." My memories of what happened in the past started to faded and be only a little fragment of lost time, that once was called my time with my only beloved ones... That was now gone, but I knew. It wasn't for good...

Gray's Pov

"Ahhhh!" Blood was now every where. He was kicking, punching and doing many other things to me, but I still held on. He growled at me.

"Why won't you just let go?!" I smiled softly then looked up at him.

"Because I love Natsu, and if this is what I get for hurting him. I don't care... As long as Natsu is safe, I'm happy. It doesn't matter to me if he doesn't love me any more... I hurt him, and I know I did. But just because I hurt him, doesn't mean that I don't care for him. It just means that I will protect him no matter what happens to me, my body, or anything else! Natsu is my everything! And I will protect him with my life!" He growled again at me and his face then changed. He no longer had that twisted smirk, his face now held a face only Natsu could make, and that was the face of I'm going to beat the fucking shit out of you, for pissing me off.

He then leafed his leg to kick me, so I closed my eyes and turned my head waiting to feel the pain, but it never came.. I then opened my eyes and turned my face to look at him. Tears were falling down from his eyes... He looked like a small child, that was lost, waiting to be pick up by his parents, who would tell him it's okay and there is no such thing as monsters.

"S-stop... S-stop it... STOP IT!" He held his head with both of his hands as the tears fell down his face, his eyes where closed as tight as they could be. You could tell that on the inside he was hurting... And it was all my fault... For going on with That stupid thing with Lucy! Or who ever that was!

It's all my fault! It's my fault... And I'm sorry for that Natsu... Please be safe...

Ustan's Pov.

"Did you like those memories I showed you~?" I smirked at the way he held his head in pain, as the tears fell from his eyes like as if they were rain drops from a cloud when it's raining.

"..." I guess he is in too much pain to speak, oh well it just helps me get my work done faster now that he isn't talking anymore. Now, lets see what we have to do to Lover boy over here. I looked down at him as the blood was pouring down his face. His head was tilted up so his face was facing the ceiling, his bangs covering his eyes. He almost looked life less, at how pale his skin was.

Well, since these two are done, time to continue to step 2. I made my way to the door and opened it, with a smirk on my face as I walked out.

Gray's Pov.

All I could see was white.. Like I was in a white abyss, that was filled with happiness. I don't really how, it felt like it was filled with happiness since there was nothing there but it did. A smile grew on my face as I looked around, I felt safe here. Like as if someone had their arms around me giving me a gentle hug, of comfort.

"So your Mr. Fullbuster." I heard someone's voice that was deep, like as if it was coming from behind me. I turned around only too see a person, who looked about my age that had, violet red hair and eyes that were a navy blue.

"Who are you?!" I yelled, which left a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, for not introducing myself. I am Kiri, I am Natsu's so called, Brother." My eyes widen at what he said.

"W-wait?" He sighed at what my response was to him.

"What?" He looked me dead in the eyes. His eyes looked into mine and it felt like as if, he was looking into my soul... It sent shivers down my spine..

"How can you be Natsu's brother? He never said he had any siblings.. Then again, he hasn't told me much about his past... Other than Igneel.." He continued to have a straight face, while he starred.

"Well you see, I'm Natsu's brother, sorta." I looked at him with a confused look.

"Let me explain." He sighed.
"You see, Natsu wasn't really my brother. When I was younger I enjoyed to find out facts about legends, and people from the past. My magic I use is, reanimation Magic. I can bring things back, from the dead. Or something that had been lost. So I used to being back some of those people and lost objects. But there was one story that I really liked. It was about this young boy, who went missing one day, after an accident had happened at the Dragneel, house hold." My eyes widened I'm shock.
"You mean Natsu... Don't you..?" He smirked a bit.

"Nice to see your paying attention, Mr. Fullbuster." My bangs then fell over my eyes.

"Continue."

"Anyways. I got this idea of bring him back. So I did. He was smaller than I was, but e was very cute. Just like the story said, he was bleeding and crying when he first appeared in my room." He paused for a moment.
"He thought that I was going to hurt him, but once again he was wrong.

Ustan's POV

"Papa... Help..." When I turned around, all I could see was Natsu, laying on the ground. His eyes where closed as he slept in the fetal position . Tears were streaming down his face as he mumbled, out words about 'Papa' and what not.

"Natsu. What are you talking about?" I walked over to him as I lifted up his head, by pulling his hair. The tears continued to stream down his face. I sighed as I let go of his hair. I then sat down beside his sleeping 'body'.

"Natsu.. Maybe I should be nicer to my elders.." I chuckled slightly at the comment. A soft smile started to form upon my face as I lifted his head and laid it onto my lap.

"Maybe I should tell you what really happened that night..." I said in a soft tone as I moved my hand through his hair.
