"Demon talking"

'Demon thoughts'

"Please. We know that where weak, but we can get strong. Please allow us to join your guild, Fairytail was are grandpa Rob's guild and we want to join. But not just your guild can you teach us magic." Asked Erza as she and Kagura had their heads down still bowing to Natsu.

"I don't have time to deal with you weaklings if you want to join Fairytail go on ahead I couldn't care less." Says Natsu.

He then turns to continue to walk away.

Both girls looked on as he's walks away, Erza had a look of disappointed on her face. Kagura looks at Erza face and notices it, she sees Natsu still walking. She mustards all the courage she has and rans in front of Natsu and start to block his way.

"No you're leaving until you agree to take us to your guild and teach us magic." Said Kagura in a confident tone that made Erza look up with shock.

'K-Kagura? W-what are you doing?' Thought Erza as she couldn't believe what she's seeing, Kagura who has been a little timid girl with very little self esteem get in the face of a wizard that could easily destroy her.

"Get out of my way human or not I'll make you." Said Natsu with poison in his voice but this didn't made Kagura budge in fact it made her stand up to Natsu even more.

"N-no I won't move." Said the dark purple haired girl to the linked haired Etherious.

"Kagura for the love of god move please!" Yells Erza as she stands up and goes to Kagura and tries to push her out of Natsu way but with no avail.

"Fine then since you won't move I'll make you." Natsu says as he places his hand on his Onslaught ready to take it out but stops when he notices the looks on the eyes of both girls. Their eyes had something that made him smile. Hate. The girls noticed that he didn't attack them.

"Answers me this humans why do want to be strong?" Natsu asked. Both of the girls jump at the question and looked at each other then to Natsu.

"We want to be strong so we can find and kill Jellal Fernandez." They said at the same time. Natsu smiled even more.

'They probably mean the blue haired human that left with Arlock.' Thought Natsu

"If I help you two join Fairytail and help you learn magic what's in it for me?" Asked Natsu. The girls give him their most stone cold serious looks they have ever given anyone and say.

"We will pledge are absolute loyalty and servitude to you for life if you help us." Said both of them in unison like before.

'With the right training I can make them into perfect weapons that would be useful in the future. Ah hate brings people together.' He jokes in his mind.

"I like your answer. My name is Natsu Dragnologia." Said Natsu introducing himself to his new subordinates.

"I'm Erza Scarlet."

"I'm Kagura Mikazuchi."

"Erza and Kagura. What interesting you both have, lets get going then." Says Natsu.

"Yes Natsu-sama." The girls said as they looked at each other and smile as they where successful in getting what they wanted, they start to follow Natsu.

-In the forests of Minstrel-

A few hours later Natsu and his new 'students' as he calls them are traveling through the forests of country Minstrel heading North towards the nation of Fiore. They have been traveling non stop since they left Trigger Happy and its was getting dark. Natsu notices that there getting tired and decides to stop for the night and let them rest, after all they were slaves up until this afternoon Natsu is a dick but he's not an asshole.

"I guess we should stay here for the night." Said Natsu as both girls sat on the forest ground, Natsu leaned on a nearby tree and a awkward silence soon appeared. Erza and Kagura didn't really now what to say their new teacher.

"So Natsu-sama when are you going to teach us magic?" Asked Erza.

"When the time is right." Answered Natsu.

"When are we going to make it to Fairytail Natsu-sama?" Asked Kagura.

"Soon." Answered Natsu, both girls looked annoyed by the lack of details to Natsu answers, but before they can say anything else their stomachs start to growl they both immediately start to blush in embarrassment as they knew Natsu heard it.

"S-sorry" apologized Kagura as well as Erza. Natsu looked at them and stood up as he felt something coming towards them.

"W-what the matter Natsu-sama?" Asked Erza. Natsu ignored her as he turned the opposite direction, both girls looked at him confused.

"What is he doing?." They asked each other. Seconds later they hear fade crash noises. This made jump in surprise they hear as it getting louder and louder by the second until what is making the noises is literally a few feet away from them. Both girls stand up as they come face to face on what was making that noise. A giant wild boar several times their size.

"W-what is that?" Asked Kagura.

"Are dinner." Said Natsu as he jumps and kicks the boar in the side of the head so hard that it made the boar die instantly. Both Erza and Kagura look on with amazement as they saw Natsu take out a giant boar that could have easily mauled them in mere seconds. Natsu then skins and cooks the boar in mere minutes with his fire magic both girls where even more amazed by this display of magic Natsu then hands them a giant piece of the boar, they look it and start to eat their first real meal in months. Natsu then starts a fire for they can see better and he starts to eat his portion.

"I'm going to teach you two first how to unlock your magic energy and about joining Fairytail we'll get there in a couple days if we go at are current pace." Said Natsu answering their questions from earlier with more detail.

"What type of magic do you think we have Natsu-sama." Asked Erza while enjoying the boar meat.

"I have no idea what magic you two would be able to use but I'm going to tell you two this now don't let your hate use you, use it. That the key in becoming stronger." Says Natsu as he finishes the last of the boar.

"Yes Natsu-sama." Said both of them as soon as they finish their meal and start to fade to sleep minutes after, leaving Natsu sitting there alone with his thoughts.

'I have a feeling that these two girls are going to be strong, really strong. It's too early to stay if teaching them magic was a good thing or bad thing.' Thought Natsu, his thoughts were interrupted by his communication lacrima lighting up. He stands up and walks a few feet away to talk to Makarov.

"What happen old man?" Asked Natsu talking to the lacrima.

"Natsu I heard that you finally took out the last R system. So what happen to Arlock? The magic council reported him as missing not decreased ." Talked the old man.

"The son of a bitch escape." Answered Natsu who was bugged by the mention of Arlock name being mention.

"I see but you did manage to free the slaves I guess that's what truly matters." Makarov said.

"So what's next?" Asked Natsu.

"Since your in Minstrel there's a couple of dark guilds I want you to take out until you return to the guild, so take out the dark guilds that are in your way. I'll contact you tomorrow with the list of the dark guilds and their locations." Said Makarov as he finished and hang up.

Natsu hangs up and puts the lacrima back in his pocket. He returns to the camp site and see the girls sleeping comfortably.

'I have a few weeks to change these weak girls into strong and productive ones that can serve me better, these two girls are just the beginning I've decided to find more like them to serve me.' Thought Natsu as he leans on a tree and falls to sleep.

-In the morning-

The sun rises at around 6:30 and the warm sunlight hits both girls in the face waking them both up, they rub their eyes and see Natsu sitting on tree branch talking on his communication lacrima and holding a piece of paper. Once he was finish he jumps off the branch and see Erza and Kagura awake.

"Good your both awake." Natsu says as he opens his pocket dimension where he stores items, the girls look on with amazed and wonder at their master/teacher magic ability. Natsu then entered his storage dimension, the girls went closer to took a look at what's inside of the dimension, and what they saw made their jaws dropped. The storage dimension was literally filled from things from clothes of Natsu to piles of gold and other rare stones, but what really caught their eyes were 9 objects that where in the middle of everything. They saw a shining hand sized pearl like orb, a staff with a with a black and white swirl design, 4 keys two gold and two pitch black, a necklace with many symbols attach on them and finally two swords. Natsu takes out those two swords and hands them to both girls. They look at the swords with pure wonder and glee. The sword Erza was handed was silver knightly sword with two hearts encrusted on each side of its pommel, the shine of the blade could be seen from many miles away and its design look like a angel wield it. The sword was heavenly to the red head.

"Beautiful." Whispered Erza.

Kagura received a nodachi sword. Its hilt is wrapped in a dark red colored wrapping which features a gold pommel and studs along the hilt, the scabbard of the sword is white in color with gold protector at the end which is decorated with a small gold design and a red colored rope tied in the lower section of the scabbard.

"Cool." Is what Kagura said as she amazed by the look of the sword.

As they marveled at the swords they received, both soon felt somethings sinister about the swords. Natsu decided to speak up.

"Your first listen starts now. These swords are from two dark wizards I killed a few months back. Erza the one I give you is called the Twilight sword of the heavens, Kagura the sword you received is called the Archenemy the blade. Both of these swords have a lot of negative energy surrounding them, it's your job is to take away the negative and replace it with your positive energy. But in order to do that you both must unlock your magic energy, I want you two try and cut me with those swords." Said Natsu as stands right in front of them.

"Begin." Demanded Natsu.

Both girls once they got a good grip on their swords they both begin to swing trying their best to hit Natsu. The Etherious easily dodge the swords and notices that both girls seem to start to get irritated by their lack of skill and strength.

'Let the taunting begin.' Thought Natsu as he smiled.

"Really is that all you two have. Cmon I bet you two can't even cut a orange in half." Taunted Natsu. They just kept swinging with everything they had.

'I guess I have to really get into their skin.'

"I can't believe this you two ha e to be the weakest humans on earth. It's a shame that old man had to die for you if only he could've sacrifice himself for some people that where worth saving." Said Natsu those remarks made both girls yell in frustration really trying to stab Natsu for saying those things.

"S-shut up." Muttered Kagura.

"Y-you knew nothing about are grandpa." Said Erza.

'Finally I feel their magic about to burst, let me tries this one.' Thought Natsu as he kept dodging.

"Maybe Jellal was right you too are worthless." The mention of Jellal's name pushed both to edge and their magic energy bursted out of their bodies like a water balloon with too much water. Kagura and Erza started to glow, Erza a blood red aura and Kagura a solid white. And in a split second they both swing their swords about to hit Natsu but Natsu being who he is jumped out of the way and the swords clashed against on one another and as a result both girl were blown away from the impact of their magic infused sword attacks touching each other but before they can hit the ground Natsu catches both of them. Natsu places them on the ground as they are knocked out from the attack and the stress of barely unlocking their magic in such a way. The demon notices that that Erza clothes change instead of the rags she was wearing shining armor that match the twilight sword.

"Requip magic." Whispered the Etherious he then turns to Kagura and notices the ground around her seem to crack under her weight. Natsu then puts his hand over her head and feels the gravity around her making his hand heavy, he pulls his hand back.

"Gravity change." A few seconds later their magic disappear, Erza's clothes go back to her rags and Kagura gravitational levels went back to normal. He puts both swords back to his storage dimension, a few minutes later Erza was the first to wake up.

"Wh-what happen? Wh-why does my head hurt so much?" Asked the red head as she sits up.

"You were knock out from the impact you and Kagura caused when both of your magic got infused with the swords and collide when they touch." Said Natsu as he was sitting a few feet away from them.

"N-Natsu-sama I'm sorry for our clumsiness." Said Erza remembering what happen she bowed her head in forgiveness.

"Don't worry about it. Do you feel any different?" Asked Natsu.

"Well kinda, I feel this weird heaviness all over my body but at the same time I feel like I have more energy." Explained Erza.

"I see with more practice you will control the magic you have."

"Natsu-sama do you know what type of magic we can use?" Asked the red head to the pinkette demon.

"You use re-quip magic, well to be more precise you possess knight re-quip magic. This magic allows you to store weapons and armors in pocket dimensions and summon them during battle. This gives you a high level of offense, defense, flexibility and variety in combat, regarding the type of the armor and weapon you Requip, another benefit of this Requip is that it gives you the ability to use, and gain resistance to, natural elements through the use of certain armors." Explained Natsu.

"So you have re-quip too?" Asked Erza.

"Well yes and no. I do possess the ability to summon a pocket dimension for storage but unlike yours that could summon weapons and armor anytime regardless what your doing, I have to stop everything I'm doing to open the pocket dimension, I can summon it in battle like you."

"I have another question, when I was swinging that sword you gave me it felt like it was feeding on me. Why is that exact?" Asked Erza.

"Like I said those swords are both filled with so much negative energy because of the ways it was used in the past. These swords feed on innocents and positive energy and the longer you hold them the faster it drive you crazy. The reason why I gave them to both of you is because you both wish to be strong and removing the 'curse' on these swords will be the measuring stick you both need to find out if you two gotten strong." Natsu said as Erza nodded in understanding.

"So what's are next?" Asked Erza.

"When Kagura wakes up I'll tell you but I could tell you this, in the next month you two are going to be able to serve me better." Said Natsu with a sinister smirk on his face. Erza looked at Natsu bowed her head.

"Yes Natsu-sama!"

-One month later somewhere in near the border of Fiore at a local dark guild-

"N-no I-I've give you mon-*gaugh*"

"Pl-pl-please stop! I don't des-ahhhhhh"

"Wow Kagura you made this pig's head look like a squashed apple." Said Erza as she balance herself with the Twilight sword that Natsu gave her. She replaced the rags she had on when she was in the Tower of Heaven with a custom-made blood red colored armor by Heart Kreuz smiths that fit her small stature, a black skirt, and red boots, on top of it all she now wears a red scarf around her neck.

"You could've made it less of mess, you almost got brain matter on my clothes." Said the red head.

"I'm sorry Erza I guess I got carried away." Said Kagura as she swings her Archenemy so the blood can get off its sheath. Like Erza she now has a new outfit, she now wears an elaborate blazer with gold lining, and a large collar, which is open to reveal a yellow collared shirt and red tie underneath. The cuffs of this jacket are tucked into a pair of white wrist-high gloves. On her legs, Kagura wears a pair of black tights, which are tucked into a pair of yellow knee-high boots and sit under a short white frilled skirt, she also white headband with a white ribbon tied at the middle in a bow, pointing straight up, and finally like Erza she now has a scarf but instead of it being red it's yellow.

"I can't believe that your Gravity change can literally flatten people heads." Erza said complement her sister's magic.

"Thanks Sis but tell you the truth I really envy your re-quip magic, you can change your outfit and weapon anytime its so cool." Kagura return the complement to her older sister.

"Is Natsu-sama finish? He should've been by now." Said Kagura.

"You got a point, we should look for him." Said Erza as starts to look for Natsu but stop as she sees Natsu coming towards her carrying two large sacks.

"Natsu-sama do you need assistance?" Asked Erza.

"No I fine. Do you girls take care of the pest?" Asked Natsu. The girls nodded in response.

"Ok let's go." The Etherious said as he lit the guild hall on fire.

All three children step out of the now burning dark guild hall with gleeful expressions on their faces. They see the villagers that have been oppressed by the dark guild jump for joy as their oppressors are no more and their base of operations being set a blaze. The villagers start to sing and thank the three for what they have done, the girls blush at the complements they are getting from the villagers, they made be warriors but their still girls at heart. Natsu on the other hand didn't give two fucks about their complements, he didn't do it for them it was a job and nothing else.

"You guys are incredible. I had now idea children can be heroes."

"We are forever in your debt. Thank you."

Where a few things the cheerily villagers said to the three as they walked away, they didn't say anything to them, as they try to leave quietly. As soon as trio exited from the village they start to talk.

"Natsu-sama what's in those sacks?" Asked Kagura.

"Gold and money." Answered the pink haired demon.

Gold and money? So are we really going to Fairytail now? Finally." Exclaimed Kagura with a smile on her face.

"That's right. You two gotten strong, enough for you two hold your own. Now I need both of you to go to Fairy tail and get Makarov to let you join as plan, remember you don't know me. I'll get in touch with both of you once I return from taking out the last of the dark guilds that I was assigned to. So here this will maintain your living and food for awhile." Said Natsu as he hands the sacks to each of the girls.

"Yes Natsu-sama your will is ours as well." Said both of them as they bowed their heads in appreciation to their teacher and master. Natsu nods as he walks to west to his next jobs and in turn Kagura and Erza walk east towards Fairy tail.

-a few hours later-

Natsu is walking in the woods thinking to himself.

'My plan is coming to place slowly but surely. The plan is for them to join the guild and keep a eye out for me. I don't need Makarov more on my trail, these girls will help me. I need-' his thoughts where interrupted.

"Funny running in to you here Gildrats." Said Natsu slightly turning his head to see the orange haired man standing right behind him.

"Yeah you got a point Natsu it is funny." Gildrats said giving Natsu one of his trademark smiles.

Both of them stay like that for a minute and then out of nowhere their fist clash causing a giant explosion in the middle of the woods. As the smoke clears both Natsu and Gildrats fists still in contact both trying to one up each other.

"You gotten strong kid."

"I know."
