Chapter Five

Natsu's P.o.V

HooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOooooooo god. Lucy is being weird. Well weird for her anyways. Well….I've seen how these pirates treat each other. It makes me miss my dad...I see by the look in her eyes that she lost someone too. These pirates are like family. Believe it or not.

"Hey where are we going?" I ask her.

"Gallery. Dinner." She says, her voice is flat. I feel bad for her. She seems like she was a nice person….at one point. I can tell something is wrong.

"Aye sir! Sounds fun! Is there fish?" Happy says, interrupting my thoughts. Lucy nods.

"Yes. Of course there's fish. We are on a boat after all." She says and Happy beams. Her right hand. Wow! She has a tattoo on her right hand. Same symbol as a lot of people here. Just a different color and spot. It's pink, hey! It's pink like my hair.

"You'll get a tattoo too if you accept and join." She says as we walk into the gallery. I nod. 'That's kinda cool..' I think.

"And I'm gonna be a part of it." I say aloud. She nods.

Two hours, one tattoo, and a tired crew later

"I'm going to retire." Lucy says stiffly, going below deck. Gray and I fought all night and it was exhausting, but kinda fun. As Lucy leaves Happy and I come up with a plan to get revenge.

"Your hammock will be fixed up soon." Erza said, towering over me. I gulped.

"Y-yes m-ma'am." I gulped. She nods walking off. Macao and Romeo are being all father son sappy. They just figured it out today. Gross, but cute. I pace the deck, unable to sit down.

"Now...she kidnapped me, sunk my ship, beat me in a swordfight, worked me all day, put me in a cell, taunted me...hmm." I wonder aloud, messing with my sword. She didn't take it, thankfully. It was the last gift my father, Igneel had given me. It had the ability to light on fire.

I smile at the thought of Igneel. He adopted me when I was very young. Then he trained me to become a Naval soldier. He was captain of the battleship, Fire King. It was sunk years ago, and Igneel died along with it. It was sunk by the ship, Dragon King, it's captain, Acnologia.

I growl lowly. Then I sigh. "I'm beat. I'm going to go to bed." I say loudly. Erza looks at me.

"Alright. Your hammock is below deck, Elfman will show you to it." She says nodding to a tall man by the the railing on the deck. I sigh walking over to him.

"You must be Natsu. Welcome. You must be a real man to be talking to me. Well, your hammock is this way. Follow me." The guy...Elfman says to me. He turns on his heel and leads me down the steps and below deck.

"Natsu wait up!" Happy yells following me down the stairs. Elfman nods at the cat. Wait, he nods?! Most people wonder why I have a talking cat with me.

"Carla and Wendy." Elfman says as if reading my mind. "Carla is an exceed, like your friends Happy and Pantherlily."

'Oh' I mouth, looking at my blue friend. He seems happier, probably because of the fact he got a ton of fish at dinner...and he did meet Carla, a pretty female exceed. My eyes light up, ooooh so they did have exceeds here. That's why Lucy didn't blink when she saw Happy.

"I see." I saw carefully. We make our way past the captain's cabin, I hear soft breathing, no...soft crying, coming from inside. I tilt my head. 'Why is she crying?' I wonder as we move past the door.

"Here we are! Your hammock is by Gray, and Gajeel." Elfman says. Gray was to the left (the hammock was ICE COLD! And Gajeel was to the right, freakin metal everywhere.) I sigh. Ugh of all people to be stuck by. At least it wasn't all that bad. I'll never admit it though.

"Thanks….umm….Elfman!" I say quickly, he smiles and nods.

"G'night Natsu, and welcome to Fairy Tail. Also, welcome aboard Rising Sun." I nod and sit on the hammock, it sways underneath me. 'Greaaaat…' I think. I lie down for what seems like a minute….

Later

I wake up to soft snoring. I see the males of the crew lying in their hammocks around me. I sigh. "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh I slept longer than I thought." I groaned. I slowly got out of my hammock and left the room. "Urg." I swallow. 'Great. My motion sickness..' I dig around my torn up trousers and find the pills, she put them here. I dry swallow one and my stomach settles. Then I smile. Hey, Luce wasn't so bad.

"Ookay…..almost forgot about my motion sickness." I shiver. I hate my motion sickness, but I was born with it and I had to deal with it. I sigh, quietly making my way up to the deck.

"Can't sleep?" A sweet voices says.
