"I thought I was a little at first but I had an amazing time now the less" Mira replied. "Hey Natsu I've been thinking about taking up to job requests again" Natsu was silent for a moment before responding.
"I think that's great as long as your sure I would be fun going on missions with you" Natsu said smiling kindly at her.
" I think I am after everything that happened since my magic reawakened I'm finally comfortable with everything" she replied.
"Sweet what ever you need I'll be right beside you" Natsu said as they approached her home.
"Thanks that means a lot Natsu" Mira said as she stopped outside her house and turned to face Natsu, she then pulled him in for a kiss on his lips.
"Goodnight" Mira spoke softly after they had finished their kiss.
"Goodnight I'll see you tommorow" Natsu said as he turned to leave he became light headed dizzy he stopped and felt himself falling as darkness took over.
"NATSU" Mira yelled as she saw him start to fall backwards she ran to try and catch him and made it just before his head hit the ground. "Natsu wake up Natsu" Mira said shaking him, her loaf voice attracted attention from the house they were in front as Elfman and Lisanna soon burst out the door.
"Sis what is it I heard shouting" Elfman spoke not looking around him.
"Elfman, it's Natsu he just collapsed" Mira said turning to face the two. "We need to get him to the guild" Mira ordered her younger brother, he simply nodded and went over and picked him up.
"I'll see if I can get Wendy and Porlyusica" Lisanna said running into the night. It didn't take long for the two Strauss siblings to run to the guild luckily Master Makarov was still there due to the fact that Mirajane was on her date he was the one supposed to close up, he was sitting alone in quiet when he heard the doors burst open reviling Mira still in her date dress and Elfman carrying and unconscious Natsu.
"What's going on?" he asked taking in the situation.
"Its Natsu he just collapse" Mira said in panic.
"Quick get him into the infirmary" Makarov spoke jumping from his usual place from the bar and heading towards the back of the guild, the group entered the room and Elfman laid Natsu down on one of the beds seconds later Wendy, Porlyusica, Carla and an exhausted Lisanna entered.
"Make room" Porlyusica ordered rudely as everyone stepped away and let the two healers through to preform their tests. Minutes felt like hours for the people left watching , Mirajane played the night over in her head, there was nothing that showed Natsu was ill in anyway she was snapped out of her thoughts by the healers stepping away and facing the group.
"What's wrong with him?" Master asked.
"There seems to be something inside of him, it's demonic in nature so it seems that it could only be one thing" Porlyusica explained while Wendy just looked at the floor.
"So you mean it E.N.D?" Mira asked not taking her eyes off Natsu she could feel the emotions start to build up as she did her best to keep them under control.
"I'm afraid so" Porlyusica responded unusually showing empathy. Mira just walked emotionlessly to the side of Natsu's bed and pulled up a chair and took his hand into hers.
"Is there anything we can do?" Master asked.
"If we could find a way to extract the demon from his body he would at least stand a chance and the demon would be weakened" this time it was Wendy that spoke up.
"We'll start our way through the library see if we can find anything, Elfman can you see if you could get Freed and Levy we're going to need them" Makarov said as he began to walk out the room, Elfman went over to Mirajane and rested his hand on her shoulder.
"He'll make it through this he's made it through worse he's manly" he said trying to comfort her.
"Thanks" she said quietly not taking her eyes of the unconscious mage, Elfman sighed.
'You said you wouldn't hurt her, fight through and get back to her' Elfman though to himself as he took on more look at the bed before leaving to fetch the two mages.
"Me and Wendy will be in the other room to catch some rest call us if anything changes" Porlyusica said, Mira nodded. As the two left Lisanna left quietly to help look through the library.
"Come on Natsu you can fight this I have faith" Mira whispered to herself as the tears started to fall. The night dragged by with Levy and Freed arriving to help in the library in the early morning but they had yet to find anything, it was now morning and Mira was still sitting in the same chair not letting go of his hand which didn't have its normal warmth. Soon guild members started arriving at the guild but only his team was allowed to enter Erza had already paid her visit to Natsu and had reached joined the guild hall angry there was nothing she could really do especially since Mirajane had refused to let her keep an eye on Natsu while the white haired woman got some sleep. Lucy was the next to enter she entered happily but her mood soon dropped when she was told what happened she rushed straight into the infirmary as she entered she saw the sight of Natsu laying motionless on the bed with Mira sitting next to him with both her hands holding his, she looked exhausted her eyes were red from crying.
"Mira" Lucy said making her presents known, Mira quickly wiped her eyes and looked over and the blonde.
"Hey Lucy" Mira said.
"How bad is it?" Lucy asked.
"Its E.N.D they think he's trying to take over Natsu but it hasn't yet so that at least means he fighting" Mira said trying to sound optimistic, but Lucy saw right through it, Lucy walked up to her and hugged her.
"He'll be fine he has so much to come back to, the guild, his family and you" Lucy said pulling herself back and smiling " Anyway I'm going to help Levy and the others in the library" Lucy said walking away.
"Thank you Lucy that means a lot" Mira spoke softly.
"You know he loves you" Lucy replied "He told me when he pulled to the side the other day, I didn't know if he told you but I just thought you should know" Lucy said as she walked out. Mira was shocked by those words he hadn't told her yet but she was happy he felt the same way, she was snapped out of he thoughts by the door being burst open revealing Gray.
"Gray" Mira said in surprise but glad it was someone she trusted.
"How bad is it?" Gray asked.
"Its bad E.N.D trying to take over" Mira explained.
"I see Gray said walking to the edge of the bed "Then I'm going to have to deal with it" He said as he quickly changed into his demon ice slayer form and summoning a sword in his right hand and pushing Mira back off her chair and raised the sword above Natsu.
"Gray don't" Mira begged as she tried to get up in time seeing the sword start it's decent.
