"Today was the final straw I've been packed for a few days now but.." he stopped swallowing a lump in his throat. " I'm leaving fairy tail".
"Your leaving but..." Mira couldn't finish before tears started running down her face.
"I'm leaving them I didn't think anyone else still saw me the same as before" Natsu responded wiping a tear from her cheek.
"Maybe if I can speak to the master we can get this sorted out" Mira responded remembering he was the only one not present earlier due to going to the newly formed magic council to sort the out some discrepancies in the guild's recreation.
"Sorry but while he tries to hide it is can still hear doubt and hate from him" Natsu responded shaking his head.
"Can you hold off leaving till tomorrow night please" Mira begged "Just consider it a last request" Mira sobbed.
"It's just.." Natsu stopped himself looking at the barmaid "I guess it's I can hold off for you its the least I can do for my last friend" he smiled sadly "I'll come to the guild tomorrow like nothing has changed I'll be leaving by the north gate"
"Thank you Natsu" she smiled sweetly back at him wiping her tears away the smile warmed Natsu's heart it was genuine, kind and never failed to lift his spirits. "I'll better be getting back it'll be closing time soon, do you promise not to leave?" she asked worriedly.
"Nah I'll still be here you'll see me tomorrow I give you my word" Natsu spoke giving a kind smile back at Mira.
"I'll see you tomorrow" she said heading for the door she then just stopped and looked at him one more time before leaving, Natsu watched her leave and closed his door and fell with his back to it.
"I would have to be her" he cried " Of all the people not to hate me it would have to be her" he said to no one "I can't stay though" he composed himself and stood up and headed to bed early he was tired and easily fell asleep.
Natsu stood in the guild hall his friends laughing and drinking around him.
"Hey Natsu over here" Erza motioned to an empty stool next to her, Natsu headed over happily and sat down with his normal team.
"Hey Lucy, Erza, Ice prick how are you guys doing?" Natsu asked joyfully.
"We're good tha.." Erza was interrupted by Gray.
"Hey what's did you call me ash breath?" Gray retorted the insult.
"You heard me" Natsu answered Gray immediately got into his ice make stance, Natsu then summoned flames around his hand but as he did so he heard a deep demonic laugh in his head as he saw his hands turn into talons and his flames turn black he looked down to see his entire body engulfed in black flames and as he looked he saw all his friends strewn across the floor dead. "No how" Natsu said watch as E.N.D walked over to a barely alive Gray.
"We were right about you" Gray said weakly as Natsu watch his razor sharp talons impaled the ice Wizard. Natsu shoot awake panting with sweat pouring down his face he had been having these dreams frequently over the last couple of weeks always the same he would be in a situation where he would use his magic and E.N.D would take over. As it turned out it was morning so Natsu had he usual routine he then headed towards his front door he then took his travel backpack out of the cupboard and slung it over one shoulder.
'one last day it's the least I can do for her' Natsu thought to himself as he headed out his front door and towards the guild on his walk he was thinking about where he would go when he left but it was surprisingly painful to think about, it wasn't long before he was standing outside the guild doors he sighed and pushed the doors open calmly and without a word headed for the corner of the bar, once there he looked around to see where the silver haired barmaid was but he couldn't see her he sighed sadly and distracted himself with random thoughts and checking his backpack to make sure he had everything.
After hours went past it was mid-afternoon and MiraJane had still not shown up and Natsu had given up he assumed that Mira was just taking pity on him a and didn't mean anything she said, he was about to leave when the guild doors opened with Mira walking in with her usual grace he was overjoyed to see her, she took her usual place behind the bar and was greeted in her normal way once every she was settled she walked over to Natsu.
"Sorry I'm a bit late I had a few errands to run " Mira apologised.
"Its not a problem" he smiled sadly.
"I've got to start work the guilds closing early today will you wait for me after?" Mira asked.
"I'm not leaving till nightfall anyway" he replied, Mira just smiled and headed to the main part of the bar to start taking orders, Natsu looked around the guild was acting as normal people laughing, joking and drinking life seemed to carry on without his input. As the afternoon went on nothing exciting happened Mira would keep coming over to check on him he would just smile to reassure her but doubted it made any difference, it reached about six and the guild was only half full Lisanna and Elfman had left on a quest, Gajeel and Levy had left early claiming the needed an early night for a mission the next day, most of team Natsu hadn't been in the guild that day only Lucy, Wendy, Carla and Happy had been sitting on their usual table.
"Sorry to be a nuisance everybody" Mira called in the mostly quiet guild hall "But I'm having to shut early today due to important matters that can't be avoided" as she finished moans and groans could be heard throughout the hall.
"Is everything OK Mira?" Lucy asked.
"Yes thanks I just have some matters that can't be ignored today" Mira replied smiling sweetly at the blonde.
"If your sure" Lucy replied standing up from her table following the other wizards out the doors, it wasn't long till it was just Mira and Natsu with him still not moved from his corner.
"You didn't have to do that Mira they looked so happy" Natzu broke the silence the two had been left in.
"I did else I wouldn't of finished till the early hours and you would have left" Mira said walking out from behind the bar and towards the pink haired man who had stood up grabbing his back pack.
"Its time I was off" Natsu said slinging his luggage over his shoulders Mira didn't reply as they walked out the guild hall and towards the north gate, half way there Mira broke the silence.
"Is there nothing I can do to change your mind?" Mira asked sadly with tears threating to fall.
"I'm sorry Mira but I can't stay anymore its them you've done nothing always remember that" Natsu replied solemnly.
"I just hoped I could talk you out of it" Mira said hopefully.
"Thanks for trying" Natsu said giving her a warm smile.
"Fine wait here" Mira said running into a nearby house, Natzu hadn't been here in a long time he had forgotten that Mira lived near the north gate, the last time he was here was just after Lisanna had died and he came round to help the remaining siblings. Elfman was easy to talk down compared to Mira it took a week of constant visits and countless times watching Mira cry while Natsu just held her to calm her down, eventually with a little help from Elfman he managed to persuade her to come back to the guild.
'I wonder if she remembers' Natsu thought to himself bit was quickly snapped out of his mind by Mira emerging back out from her house with a large backpack on. "Mira what are you doing?" he asked worriedly.
"Well if I can't persuade you to stay then I just have to come with you" she replied.
"Mira you can't I'm not going away for a year even two I'm leaving for good and never coming back" Natsu said trying to make Mira understand.
"I know what your doing" Mira replied sharply.
"Then you know that you can't come with me you have a life here you have family" Natsu replied trailing off at the last part.
And what do you have?" Mira asked.
"I can't let you come with me you have Lisanna and Elfman to look after" he said ignoring the question.
"Their adults capable of looking after themselves anyway I've left a letter in Masters office explaining what's happening, besides I just can't stand watching someone who's done so much just leave" It was at this point tears severed falling from Mira's eyes.
"Don't cry Mira please" Natsu pleaded.
"I won't let you leave alone" Mira said trying to hold her tears back, Natsu was speechless he didn't what to do he couldn't let Mira leave but he couldn't persuade her to stay they stood in silence for a few minutes before Mira had an idea " We'll fight then who ever wins decides if I come with you or not"
"I can't fight you" Natsu quickly replied with fear in his voice.
"Why not afraid you'll lose" Mira replied confidently turning into her Satan soul.
"Mira please don't do this I won't use my magic" he was cowering at the demon, she then looked down at the fear on the man's face never before had she seen this level of fear on the normally confident dragon slayer, she changed back to her human form and crouched down next to him.
"Why won't you use your magic?" Mira asked curiously, he had always been proud to show off his magic.
"He might take control again" Natsu answered shacking.
"But how I though you let him take control last time?" she asked Natsu then went on to explain the dreams he had having and explaining how he had been to afraid to use his magic just in case it gave the monster a way in.
"Natsu" Mira gasped after hearing his tale.
"Its ok really" Natsu reassured her.
"That's settles it then I'm coning with you if you refuse to use magic then how are you supposed to defend yourself" Mira decided.
"But.." Natsu started.
"No it don't want to hear it anymore" Mira said strictly but with great care in her voice.
"Fine but one condition" Natsu gave in.
"OK what is it?" Mira asked relived she was finally made progress.
"If I lose control leave me I couldn't live with myself knowing I hurt you or worse" Natsu said shuddering at the thought.
"Natsu I.."
'Just promise me please" he yelled at her. "please" he whispered.
"Fine I promise if it makes you feel more comfortable" Mira then stood up offering her hand to the pink haired man to help him up.
'Thank you" he spoke taking her hand as she pulled him up. " We should get going I don't want to stay here anymore" as they set off to the north gate. After heading up a small hill they reached the gate Natsu and Mira stopped a moment and looked back at the guild. "Its funny even though they hate me I'm still gonna miss them" Natsu spoke as a silent tear fell down his cheek. "Its not to late for you to change you mind you know" he said turning to Mira.
"Fairy tail is supposed to be a family I couldn't return knowing they pushed anyone out let alone the person who had saved the guild on multiple occasions and even brought it back together" Mira said also looking back at the guild. Natsu smiled at Mira.
"Goodbye friends be safe" Natsu whispered to himself as he turned away and headed out of Magnolia with Mira shedding a tear and following him out.
Around the same time at the guild hall.
Master Makarov had returned to the guild surprised to see it closed up but didn't think much of it he unlocked the doors and walked into his office, as he walked in he saw a envelope on his desk "What's one of the brats done this time" he muttered to himself he opened the letter.
Dear Master and the guild.
If your reading this then me and Natsu have left the guild, Natsu has left because ever since the Acnologia incident everyone in the guild has been cold, harsh and sometimes damn right out of order, just so people know he is not a monster he the same person that joined the guild lost as a child. The reason I have left is because I feel he shouldn't be alone especially not now also I find it difficult to be a part of this guild knowing it pushed out someone like Natsu. We hope you the guild prospers and that everyone in the guild stays safe and know you will always be in our thoughts.
Love Mirajane.
Makarov put the letter down. 'I can't let this stand E.N.D has to be kept secure' he thought to himself 'I'll have to inform everyone tomorrow and start the search for him and return him here E.N.D must not escape'
