Hello! Yes I'm back. Thank you so much to all of my amazing reviewers! That was the most reviews I have ever gotten on a chapter! (Glomps) So a big thank you to: Tharenah, michelous, Tosho, warrior of six blades, mizore, and Loveroffiction1 for reviewing!
So I was reading some statistics today (don't ask how I came across them please) and I found out that very few people actually read the A/N's before a chapter and just skip to the story. So being the budding scientist that I am (not really), I'm gonna be conducting an experiment now. If you are actually reading this now, please, in your review, incorporate the word 'pineapple'. Try and make it as funny as possible. You could even create a whole side sentence (or paragraph) to incorporate it. I'll post the results in the beginning of the next chapter. (perhaps there might be a prize of the funniest oneā¦)
By the way, I changed the summary for the story check it out.
Summary:
The dragon innocence; a fabled shard of innocence said to be blessed by the dragons themselves. It is said that the accommodator for such an innocence has to be completely sound in mind, body and soul to be able to wield the great power and responsibility. So, how the hell did it end up with this kid?
Natsu had been having a rough morning. Despite being connected to fire, and to an extent the sun, she did not however, like waking up at dawn. Not one bit. At least Lucy had the decency to wake her up later than sun rise. So when she heard someone screaming very loudly right next to her door at five in the morning, she was very pissed off. And a pissed off Natsu, is not a happy Natsu.
Slowly, her black eyes hardened at the door. Her extremely heightened senses made the scream even more painful. She gripped her ears with her hands in an effort to some how dwindle the noise. Absentmindedly, she noticed that there seemed to be metal clanking, that could be walking, trailing after the screaming individual. Rubbing her eyes, she made her way out of bed to get dressed, attempting to ignore the screaming as it was currently causing her eardrums to bleed. The dragon slayer quickly got dressed. Her outfit consisted of a black waistcoat with gold trimmings over her chest with no undershirt instead she had loosely bound her c-cup breasts (which also showed off her toned stomach), white knee-length trousers, a thick black wristband on her left wrist, black open-toed sandals her navy sleeveless vest with gold trim that left her Fairy Tail mark uncovered. Lastly, she grabbed her signature white scaly scarf, given to her by her father, Igneel.
Natsu was a lean, muscular young woman of average height with a slightly tan skin tone, black eyes, and spiky pink-colored hair. Natsu had a scar on the right side of her neck which is visible in the few instances when she doesn't wear her scarf. Her guild member's stamp was colored red and was located at the top of her right arm, just below her shoulder. She had grown into a beautiful young woman since her first days at Fairy Tail.
Natsu, completely fed up with the blood curling screaming, opened the door to her room to go shut the thing that was making that noise up before she lost her hearing. The half dragon raised an eyebrow at what she saw before bursting out in laughter. There was a boy about her age with snowy white hair being chased by a giant robot with a funny looking hat. The screaming stopped as did the robot, leaving Natsu's ears ringing. Slowly stopping her laughter to rub her ears, she noticed that both the robot and the boy were staring at her. Blinking a couple of times, Natsu waved shouting a relaxed, "Yo."
It was then that the robot fixed its attention back on to the white haired boy. The 'arms' of the robot suddenly changed to big drills, scissors, and other weapons. In response the boy activated his innocence; his arm turning in to a lager more metallic one with big claws. The two began to take part in a fight, if you could even call it that.
Natsu, feeling left out and ignored, jumped over to the boy and the robot. She extended her foot and smashed the robot's head off with a hard kick. The robot collapsed, shutting down, a victim to Natsu's impulsiveness. Natsu turned to the boy. "Hello!" She said cheerfully.
The boy stared at her like she was crazy (and most likely is). "I'm Natsu! I'm new here! Just got in yesterday actually." She said, attempting to make small talk. What could she say, she wanted some friends in this world. She tilted her head to the side in thought, looking at his arm. "You know your arm is made of metal." She stated bluntly, as if he didn't already know. The white haired boy face palmed. The dragon slayer got stars in her eyes and looked at the white haired boy with a new found sense of admiration. "Where can I get one?! Do you have wings too? Can you fly around?" She imitated some sort of bird to go along with her point. "Ooh! Is your other arm made of metal as well?" She paused slightly. "Hey do you know where I can get some food?"
At least someone likes my arm, he thought solemnly. "You were the one screaming right?" The boy nodded once again. "Gahh! How do you even reach those frequencies! You almost bled out my ears! I'm Natsu by the way, wait didn't I already say that? Oh yeah, what's your name?" The boy resisted the urge to face palm once more at her general stupidity and bipolar tendencies.
"I'm Allen Walker." He watched as her eyes widened slightly before smiling brightly.
"Looks like we're partners! Now can we get some food? I haven't eaten in six hours! Six full hours! I know my friends always tell me that I only think about food but seriously, six whole hours!" Natsu's face darkened slightly at the mention of her friends.
"Partners?" Was the only thing that Allen managed to pull away from her high speed rant.
"Yeah! I'm here to help Allen Walker, Destroyer of Time, win the war! See? We already have things in common! We both LOVE to destroy things! Though I don't think I could destroy time, I can destroy space, and houses, and-" Allen tried hard to ignore the last part, tuning her out. But he was curious about the first few sentences. Who sent her, was one of the first things that ran though his mind. He broke out of his thoughts to see Natsu giving him puppy dog eyes. "Please can we get some food Allen?" He could feel heat rising to his face and a small tugging in his chest.
"Come on, the dining hall is this way. I'm quite hungry myself." Allen replied with a small smile. Little did he know that he found the only other person in the world that liked food as much as he did.
"- and this is the dining hall." Allen had taken it upon himself to show the girl around, pointing out different things this way and that way. He pushed open the door to the dining hall. It was breakfast by the time they finally go there. There were around two dozen finders sitting at tables. He spotted his friends, the fellow exorcists, Lenalee, Kanda, and Lavi, sitting at one of the far tables. He wanted to introduce her, but when he turned to her she was frozen with her eye's widened.
The hall looked almost exactly like Fairy Tail. She could almost see her laughing friends sitting at the tables, mug in hand, discussing their next mission. Natsu glanced slightly to the left. That's where the mission board would have been, she thought, and the staircase to the second floor over there. She shut her eyes tight and clenched her fists at her sides, willing for Grey to burst in at punch her in the face, starting one of their infamous guild fights. But when she opened her eyes, she found that she was still in the Black Order.
She noticed Allen's concerned look. Shaking herself back into reality, she asked quietly where she could get her food. He nodded (something that he seemed to be doing a lot lately) and showed her over to Jerry, he would introduce her to his friends after they got their food.
"So what can I get for you sugar?" Jerry asked.
"What do you have?" Natsu replied, her happy cheerful self slowly returning.
"Aww, your just so cute. I'll make you anything you want hun." The dragon slayer's eyes lit up.
"You really mean anything I want!?" She asked eagerly. Allen watched with amusement, it was almost like his first time ordering. Except he ordered a huge mountain of foo-
"Ok! So ill have seven spicy curries, five bowls of pork flavored ramen, five of chicken ramen, two plates of spicy fried chicken, one side of spicy potatoes, two bowls of spicy Miso soup, and five sticks of fire!" She ordered with delight. Allen's jaw dropped, this was exactly like his first time ordering- wait did she say fire?
"Oh your just as fun to cook for as Allen! But why would you want fire dear?" Jerry asked, voicing Allen's thoughts. She smiled.
"To eat of coarse! Fire is the best, most delicious thing ever!" She said as she spun around. For the first time, Jerry was seriously doubting making the girl what she wanted. Allen just stared, did she grow up in a circus too? Was she a fire breather?
"Are you sure that you can eat fire dear?" Jerry asked skeptically. Natsu nodded her head furiously then crossed her arms in front of her chest and pouted.
"Of coarse I can." This was like the very first day she joined Fairy Tail. Every one doubting her abilities as a dragon slayer, as well as being Igneel's daughter. But she never let their questioning glances or words of doubt get to her. She was a proud Dragneel.
"Well, alright then! I'll get your order ready hun. Any thing for you Allen?" Allen smiled and gave Jerry his colossal order.
Once Jerry had finished their orders and piled them into carts (Natsu gripped her fire sticks in one hand), Allen led her over to his friends.
"Strike!" The red head said, er, more like exclaimed with hearts in his eyes in Natsu's opinion. She was generally curious to what this 'strike' meant.
Lenalee was the first to say something of actual worth.
"Hi there! You must be the new girl that my brother told me about." Lenalee looked to be Natsu's age with pretty greenish blue hair and blue eyes. "Oh! You didn't have to help Allen carry his food you know. He has the biggest appetite here! He could have made two trips. And why do you have fire?" Natsu blinked.
"Ano Lenalee," Natsu rubbed the back of her head sheepishly as she sat down. Her plates in front of her and fire in hand. "this is my food, not Allen's. He's carrying his own." Lenalee as well as the others stared at her in confusion, while Allen had a look that could have been read as pride or embarrassment.
"Ehhh? So someone actually likes food as much as you do Allen!" The read head commented slyly, nudging Allen in the shoulder. "I'm Lavi by the way, you are?"
"I'm Natsu Dragneel! Nice to meet you!" She answered back, grinning.
"As you know I'm Lavi, you already know Lenalee and that big grump over there is Yu-chan!" Lavi pointed to the boy with long blue hair with a sword at his hip.
"I told you to never call me Yu-chan, my name is Kanda!" He turned his gaze to the pink haired girl. "And don't you go calling me that ether Dragneel!" Natsu slammed her hand down on the table and smirked, unknowingly drawing everyone in the dining hall's attention to her.
"You wanna fight?" She asked, still smirking. The exorcists looked at her with complete shock. Didn't she know what she was getting herself into? Oh yeah, she's new.
"I would never waist my time on som-" Kanda was cut off by a fist slamming into his jaw.
"All right! Come on lets fight! I've been itching to fight since I got here!" She looked down at the fire sticks that were still in her hand. Ehh, might as well. Everyone watched in horror as she proceeded to stick the fire into her mouth, chew, swallow, and then burp, a small trail of smoke coming from her mouth. Natsu slammed her fist into her palm. "All right I'm all fired up now!" Kanda, who had recovered, reached for his sword.
How dare that freak show challenge me! "Prepare to be destroyed by the mighty Mugen!" He drew Mugen but did not activate its innocence. The dragon slayer shrugged and charged at him. Kanda slashed at her abdomen but she countered by raising her foot to block the blade. While his blade was temporarily immobilized, she ducked in to shoot a blow to his chest. Having no time to react, Kanda was hit full force. Staggering slightly, he raised Mugen up in front of him. Deciding to change his coarse of direction for the next attack, Kanda charged foreword spinning at the last second going for a blow to her back. But when he swung he hit air. He collapsed when he felt a blow to his back. When did she move? He thought idly as he fell to his knees. Taking a few staggered breaths, Kanda got back to his feat.
Out of habit Natsu yelled, "Put some clothes on Grey!" The pinkette's head snapping sideways only to find no Grey, but Allen. Blushing from embarrassment, she apologized quickly.
"How dare you turn your back on me!" Kanda yelled furiously. "Innocence activate!" He said as he ran his fingers over Mugen's blade, leaving a wake of light in its place.
"Now we're getting some where!" Natsu said as she punched her hand into her palm. But this time, to everyone's shock (and the people in the tech department who were watching secretly via golem), a giant red circle appeared but quickly disappeared leaving Natsu's hand on fire. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" She called out, ramming her fist into Kanda's side. Mugen fell to the floor with a clank, its white light diming before reverting back to its original, deactivated state. Leaving Kanda down for the count. "Damn it. Looks like I get a better challenge back home." Her eyes dimming a bit. "But at least it was a good fight!" She continued to sit back down at the table and inhale her food. After she cracked her back and walked out of the dining hall, needing to sort out her memories and feelings.
The other people in the dining hall shared a confused yet shocked look. But, they didn't know which to be more shocked at; be it Kanda's easy defeat, or the fact that half of the dining hall was missing, including two of the four walls.
Allen, on the other hand, was determined to find out more about the pink haired beauty. Perhaps it was just the sheer shock of her performance, but he felt like getting to know her might help ease the funny tugging feeling in his chest.
And that's a wrap! Sadly, I won't be updating till this weekend. Sorry! But I will be writing bits and pieces of the next chapter so that it will be ready to post.
When I was writing the part about Natsu and Allen's arm, all that was running through my head was: Galuna Island arc. (for those of you who don't remember this arc, Natsu has a moment where complements the demons on their strange appearances that they themselves think are disgusting and revolting. Natsu says that they are 'so cool' and he develops a drool and sparkles in his eyes, asking if he can get some as well.)
So far the pairing count is at:
NatsuxAllen- 3
NatsuxGrey- 2
NatsuxLavi- 1
NatsuxKanda- 0
Allen is in the lead! No, this will not be a love at first sight fic. It will be gradual. Remember to vote for your favorite pairing!
Also, I wanted to bring up a point. I have a plan to bring over come of the other characters from the Fairy Tail universe, they will probably come in around chap 7. I will most likely bring over Team Natsu. So I had an idea and it really got me thinking.
ErzaxKanda
Did anyone else see this happening besides me? Both are: addicted to one kind of food, they both get mad when said food is messed with, weapons, have a superiority complex, considered to be the best, swords, fancy swords, long hair, and they name their swords (well, Erza has names for her armors but I think that counts).
Differences: Kanda doesn't necessarily care about what happens to his team mates (only in some cases), Erza would sacrifice her life for them, Erza's magic is cooler (in my opinion. But seriously, an infinite amount of magic weapons that she stores in a magic dimension?), and Erza talks more.
So, in addition to voting for a Natsu pairing, vote yes or no to ErzaxKanda!
