Chapter 4:
Natsu's POV
" Hey- you look familiar. Do I know you?" I had to ask. She just looked like my best friend from five years ago. Her name was Ashkar Nakamura. Only except she had brown hair that was shoulder length and had green eyes. This girl had black hair that was down her back in a braid and had turqouise- green-grayish eyes. Besides that they looked exactly the same. They even had the same scent.
"No I'm sorry. I don't know you. I didn't mean to bump into you. I'll uh, just go. So yeah bye." She ran off even before I had a chance to ask what her name was. She even acted like Ashkar. Huh maybe it was just me. I let it go.
Ashkar's POV
I had to get out of there as fast as I could. Natsu was my best friend from five years ago. How was I supposed to face him after what I did to the guild and the mess that I caused. The fact that he recognized me scared me out of my wits. I had dyed my hair and grown it out and my eyes somehow changed colors. I didn't look much like my old self. I just quickly said my goodbyes and ran down the street and around a corner to get away from him.
I guess that luck just wasn't on my side because somehow I ran into another guy who also looked familiar. I looked into his eyes and saw that they were dark blue and that he didn't have any shirt on. He also had navy blue hair that looked close to black. Of course I had to run into my former crush.
It was none other than Gray Fullbuster. Why oh why did these types of things happen to me? Just when I thought I had gotten away from my crush. This time I couldn't run away easily because he had grabbed onto my wrists to stop me from falling over. He looked at me in surprise and pain and whispered,
" Ashkar? Is that you?"
I had to try my best not to cry as I shook my head. I couldn't let him know the truth or anyone else for that matter. I don't know why he sounded so pained. After all I didn't think that he had returned my feelings for him or if he even knew about them for that matter.
" I'm sorry but I think you have mistaken me for a different person. I really am sorry that I can't help you more." And with that I pulled out of his grasp and continued running down the street.
I had to sit down and take in everything that happened. First I run into my best friend who seems to recognize me but doesn't know for sure. After I run away from him I run into my former crush who also seems to recognize me but also isn't sure. Gray certainly sounded pained to see someone from his past but I never thought that I could have caused that much pain. I'm too confused to do anything so I just bring my knees up to my chest and put my head in between them. The sun is slowly setting and even though I just left Rino and everyone this morning it feels as if I left them years ago. I felt so tired and slowly I started to fall into a deep slumber.
