Sorry I've been gone for so long. I've been having problems with getting on but I'm happy to be back. Here's chapter 5 of How To Love: A NaLu Fanfic.

Chapter 5

Natsu P.O.V.

"Calling all passengers, the train will be stopping in 10 minutes. Please ready your luggage and be prepared to depart... That is all." The train announcer said with a cherry yet informative voice.

Somehow Lucy and I had made it back to the room and had already begun packing. The awkward silence was killing me. What do I do? I possible just messed up the best relationship I've ever had! Stupid Natsu, doing whatever comes to mind.

"Um...Natsu" Lucy started awkwardly looking at the ground.

"Yah?" I asked, looking down and my luggage. I was only looking at it because it would be even more awkward if I was staring her in the eyes. She looked at the ground, seeming discouraged.

"N-never mind... It's nothing..." She said after a long pause. She scrambled to get back to packing as the announcer once again said that we were almost at the stop. I doubt that anyone else is going to be going, with the demon hounds on the loos and attack people.

It seems like an easy assignment: Get in, kill some dogs, and leave with some cash. But I just made things a whole lot worse.

Lucy, I'm sorry. I should have never done that, I thought to myself. But something was strange. Lucy normally would have punched me and left me on the floor. But something in hers changed.

I sighed, knowing in the end I'd just have to straight up ask her what was up. I closed my small suitcase and walked over to the door. Lucy was already finished packing and she was waiting for me.

She smiled at me. I smiled awkwardly back. We both headed out the door.

Lucy P.O.V.

I took in deep breaths as I walked down the hallways to the exit. As I walked down, I realized there wasn't many people on board as there usually should be. Is it because of the demon hounds? They must be attacking more if people aren't coming.

The town we were going to, Nazo, held so many memories from my childhood. I come here with my father once. Well, not really came, I snuk into the car with him. Even if I didn't hide, I'm sure he would have never noticed me.

I met a couple of my closest friends here, as I had a few months to hang out. It was fun to live the life of a street girl. I actually went up to my father and begged for some change. I was dressed in rags and my hair was messy and face unwashed. And do you know what he did? He said he had none and even if he did he wouldn't waste it on street urchin like me.

I knew for a fact he did have money. Lots of it, at the time. He was a crewel man.

"Um, Lucy? We're here you know." I voice echoed in the back of my head, interrupting my memory. I looked up to see a concerned look decorated on Natsus face.

"Oh, um... yah." I said. We were already parked in a booth to wait for the train to come to a complete stop before we could get off. I looked out the window at my familiar surroundings.

I remember my very first love was in this town. His name was Kaito. He was handsome, kind, and very giving. He was the one who took care of me while I was on the streets. He had dirty blonde hair and green eyes, and a smile that would make you want to do anything for him to keep it on.

"All Passengers getting off at Nazo, please stay seated until the train has come to a complete stop." The announcer requested. We did as told and stayed sitting. I was almost bursting with excitement. I could wait to go back and see what's changed.

The train began to pull on its breaks and a loud screeching sound emitted from the resistance. Our bodies tossed all over the place and I could see Natsu begin to look sick again.

Finally the Train come to a halt. I jumped up in excitement and even squealed a little bit. We were finally here! But I can't forget my purpose for being here. Demon hounds...demon hounds...ugh I'm too excited.

"Passengers my now exit the train. We hope you had a safe trip." The voice called to the only people who were leaving, Natsu and I. The door opened to the outside world of Nazo.

I was enchanted. The forest was still there and from what I could see, the town hadn't changed much. I looked over to see a huge crowd of people getting on the train. Were these things really that bad? I looked around. No danger, yet.

"Wow." Natsu said in amazement. He usually want one for views of a town (usually just the food), but even he liked this one.

"I know." I breathed, taking in the features of the buildings I once knew as my dads work.

I walked forward and down the train exit stairs and out on the streets, Natsu following behind. I looked onto the street to see my favorite ice cream shop was still open.

I ran over to where it was, carefully crossing the street. Natsu scurried behind me. I opened the door to see a few old people sitting down and eating and a woman at the counter.

Could it be? No way!

"Tasha!" I shouted to the woman at the counter. She turned and looked at me. She seemed to study my face, the a surprised look emerged.

"LuLu?" She called. LuLu was the name I went by when I came. I squealed and ran over to her. I gave her a huge hug.

"Hey! It's been forever. How are your parents doing?" I asked her. Natsu just stood over there looking confused as heck.

"Yah, but now I have to take over the shop." She explained.

"Um... Lucy? Who's that? And why did she call you LuLu?" Natsu asked with a very confused Happy floating behind him.

I looked at him, realizing he had just talked. I was so caught up in the moment I completely forgot about him.

"Oh, this is Tasha. I come here when I was little and we were friends. LuLu was the name I went by." I explained to him. Tasha and Katio were the only two I told about sneaking to Nazo and my father and everything.

"Oh, and who's this?" Tasha asked.

"This is Natsu, I'm in the Fairy Tail guild with him." I told her. I huge grin filled her face.

"So you've finally done it! Congrats on getting into Fairy Tail. That was mainly all you ever talked about while you were here." She commented. Then a shocked look painted over the joy.

"You wouldn't be the ones who accepted the Demon Hound request, would you?" She asked, worried. I nodded. She sighed.

"You really do like putting yourself in dangerous positions, don't you?" She asked, giggling. "I've got some room at the old inn you could use. Special discount for an old friend." She said, winking. I hugged her once more.

"You really are the best." I complimented.

"Here, I'll show you to your room." She offered and I followed. Her family was amazing. They ran the ice cream parlor, the hotel and inn, and the small bank on the corner. They were completely family run.

"Hey, Lucy. Are you sure this is ok? This is kind of barging in." Natsu whispered to me.

"It's ok. Tasha offered it too, remember?" I told him in a whisper voice. We marched out to the back ally. I knew my way, but I decided to let her lead. We walked onto the streets and were about to turn the corner when...

"Lu?" I familiar and masculine voice called. I turned around to see a tall, muscular man with dirty blonde hair and green eyes.

"K-Kaito!?" I said, surprised.
