"Hmm" Rose thought, she was definitely not in a good mood. After many days of her 'work' nothings happened. She always has the same thing so now, she has a really hard job. Try and make something happen.

Lucy obviously was a little concerned for Rose.

"Hey, Natsu, don't you think Rose is a little... weird lately?"

"You're the weird one Luce, I mean who wants to wash their laundry every single night? It's a waste of water and soap! Just use the same clothes everyday and you're all good"

Lucy slapped the back of his head. "Baka! YOU'RE SISTER IS TROUBLED! Do you not feel anything?"

Natsu took a look at his little sister. "Nope. She's just thinking. She's smart remember? But when she can't figure something out she sits on a table cross legged and have nothin' to eat or drink except water and rice."

"You remember all that?"

Natsu thought for a little bit, looked to Lucy with a blank expression and shrugged. Lucy obviously facepalmed. "You know maybe you should read a book or two"

"Nah! I'd rather eat this spicy chicken! Y'know books are just trees with writing on it? So just climb a tree!"

"Who told you that?"

"Can't remember" He said as he stuffed his mouth with a large, shiny chicken.

Lucy was irritated and just left him. "Ugh, if you want to stay stupid then go ahead!"

Rose looked up and something clicked in her head. A devious smile forming on her lips as she stood up and slipped into the kitchen behind the bar.

"You know what they say Natsu-nii, the only way into a man's heart" she giggled "is through his stomach."

Mira knocked several times on the door only hearing scary malicious laughing and seeing bright sparks leak out from under the door.

"Dear oh dear, looks like Rose-chan has cracked. I knew this would happen." Mira said to herself. "Maybe when she's done, she wouldn't mind if I borrowed some eh?"

"NATSU! What happened here? I ask you to get the brown book! There is only ONE brown book. This WHOLE library is, is RUINED! " Lucy screeched.

In an attempt to get Natsu to just raise his general IQ a little bit, she took him to the library. It was going well when she asked him to do one thing, only for him to forget if it was blue or brown book. When he thought it was blue there was heaps of them. So he took them all. Dropped them all. The shelf fell down and well, all the other shelves fell too.

"Sorry, Luce. It was an accident." He pouted. Lucy looked at him with angry eyes, but one look at his face and her heart literally so cute! His eyes are so big and...

"Lucy you're face is all red." Natsu said.

Lucy snapped out of it and sighed. "Come on, let's get out of here."

"S-sure"

Lucy is acting really weird. Maybe... no.

"It's done! This is going to be awesome! My plan cannot fail. I have investigated for days, my life will depend on this single consumption of food. Yay!"

"You know you should just stick to one single vocabulary Rose-cahn!"

Rose turned with her katana pointing to a smiling Mira. "You. I don't know if I could trust you, but you better not tell anyone!"

"My, my don't you know? You have been gone for a little too long. Don't you know I'm the (self-proclaimed) cupid of Fairytail?"

"Oh yeah! You are! Even when you were young and scary when someone was in love or had a date, you would always somehow push it to the limit. But then you would mess up somewhere and it all tumbles down."

"Hey" Mira pouted.

"No offence, sorry! But I have a brother to 'match make'" Rose said as she took the spicy fire chicken (plus some 'special magical potion') and took outside.

Mira found a bottle of a bubbling potion. She smiled and took a bit, putting it into a vile that she hid in the skirt of her dress.

"Mehehe! a few drops in the drinks of some people and we have some PRESTO MAGIC!"

"Lucy lets go back to the guild. I'm bored!"

Said girl looked up from the brown book. "What seriously? That's a classic novel! A tale of a woman and how her life is so "

"Stop talking about that book! Its so boring!"

"Hmph! Fine! Let's go!" She said as she stomped her foot and began to grumble as she grabbed her purse.

"Finally!" Natsu said as he jumped out of the window.

They were on the street and walking to the guild when a certain scent caught Natsu.

"Wait." Natsu sniffed the air a little more. That stench. The owner of that horrid smell, the same person that changed his life dramatically not once, but twice.

"Come on let's get to the guild. Fast."

"Natsu why-"

"HURRY UP WOULD YOU!" He yelled. His eyes were worried. His face confused until.

"Natsu are you okay?" Lucy asked. She was scared. Natsu never yelled in such a way. Not even when he was angry. No, his voice was of fear.

Natsu clenched his stomach. He knelt down and stains began to re-appear on his back. His eyes widened and out of his mouth came blood. There was so much. The pavement was littered with splattered blood.

"Natsu, let's go to the guild. Come on."

Natsu was frozen. The blood. The scars. The pain. There were all coming back.

"No, get Rose. Run and get Rose. And Wendy if you can." Natsu whispered as his crouched position soon fell to the side and his body went limp.

"Natsu, NO! " Lucy panicked as she crouched next to him in the middle of the pool of blood.

"Lucy, I'm fine just hurry!"

Lucy nodded and ran as fast as she could to the guild. A she burst through the doors everyone turned to see a bloody Lucy with dirt and tears stuck to her clothes and face.

"Lucy what happened?" Mira said as she got a cloth and began to wipe Lucy's face. Lucy pushed Mira's hand a way.

"Rose! Wendy! Please! Help Natsu!" Lucy said as she broke into a fit of tears. "Please there's something wrong with him! He's bleeding and was throwing up blood but I don't know why!" Lucy cried. Rose dropped her glass of water.

"Wendy run to Natsu-nii, you can find him with his scent, it would be strong. Everyone stay here and no one gets out. Gajeel, Lucy, go with Wendy now. Erza, Gray, Juvia go and get Porlyusica. Whoever you find wandering around, avoid them at all costs. Mira stay here. If you see anybody, go and find another place to hide."

"Wait why is this all necessary?" Erza asked.

Rose looked to Erza with a look of fear. She walked to Erza and whispered. "They're coming"

Erza's eyes widened. "Everyone! Listen to Rose otherwise we'll have trouble!"

Everyone was in confusion. What the heck is going on? But instead of questioning Rose, let alone Erza, they just sat and stayed.

"Mira, inform Master, we have that problem"

Mira nodded. She knew what Erza was talking about. That guild is near.

"I gotta go now" Rose said. "I trust you guys. Stay safe."

"NATSU-SAN!" Wendy yelled. The sight of one that is like a brother to you lying in the middle of a pool of blood. Lucy and Gajeel ran close behind the girl.

"That idiot!" Gajeel growled at the sight. "How the hell did you end up like this baka!"

Natsu grunted in annoyance.

Gajeel rolled his eyes and lifted Natsu. He put Natsu over his shoulder.

"Natsu-san, here, I'll put you to sleep. You lost a lot of blood so you need to rest." Wend said as she waved her hand over his eyes.

As Natsu fell asleep, Lucy stared. They were both helping Natsu. So what was she there for? Nothing. She was always the damsel in distress. Always the one making problems. Natsu would be much happier without her.

"Oi Bunny Girl!"

Lucy looked up.

"If you keep crying like that, then this idiot will end up laming himself for hurting you. So stop your crying and do your job."

Lucy cried even harder. "What job Gajeel? What purpose? I have done nothing. I can do nothing. What do you expect me to do?!"

"I thought you were smart! You're here for the most important job! And even I know that!"

"Oh really and what do you think that job is?"

Gajeel opened his mouth but was interrupted by a small yet clear voice. "You are here, Lucy-san, simply to be there to make Natsu smile again when he wakes up. I can heal him. Gajeel can carry him. But without you, nobody can help Natsu, even if he'd live for a thousand years, he'll be dead forever."

Lucy stopped crying at the little girl's words. Wendy was really mature for a thirteen year old. "What kind of kid are you" Lucy said as she gave Wendy a big hug. "Come on, Rose said we had to go and stay at the guild."

Rose jumped from tree to tree. Her hair in its bun. Her mask once again back on her face. Her speed was making strands of hair to fall onto her face and her bun was slowly becoming back into its long plait.

"Shit"

Rose found the tent area which was deserted. She was only there this morning. Where is everyone now?

"hey babe"

Rose turned around to see that stalker. Again.

"What did I tell you last time" Rose said. "You know what don't even other answering, I'll kill you right now."

"Did I ever tell you that I was part of a dark guild named Black Blood! I never had the chance honey buns, but I figured as soon as I told you that I was that powerful, then you would see me more often!"

He put his fingers on her cheek, only to find that as soon as he touched her face, a flash of light hit him. His arm was clean off. Literally.

"Dam you bitch! Do you know who my Master is! He is Royalty! He is nothing short of a god! Hurting me, hurting anyone in this guild, is an insult to our Master!" The still unnamed man said.

"Don't be stupid and fight! If you are as strong as you say, than you would be able to play with at least one hand!" Rose said, pointing her katana, the tip on his chin.

"Well, then lets play, Rosey!"

Rose' eyes changed colours from her beautiful gold eyes, to those of red. Peircing red eyes that had a black ring around her pupils. One of which she gained from her father.

"look familiar honey bunny?" Rose mocked as the unnamed man realised the familiarity of those eyes.

"Princess, I'm sorry, please have mercy." He said as he kneeld down to her.

"I'm so sorry" Rose said in a mockingly childish voice. "But you see" Her childish voice became one that seemed to hiss like a snake. She cocked her head and smiled menacingly. "I'm afraid relating me to my dear father costs you your life"

She pierced her katana through his stomach and his heart. Black rose patterns formed on his body. He began to look as if he was having a seizure as he shook and clenched his neck.

"Can't breathe"

"Hmmm, is that so? You know I never got your name, but for a sick person like you, I'm not gonna bother" Rose said with her mocking voice.

"You truly are the Master's daughter." The man said, hoping it would be a compliment to her. Sadly, not.

"Why don't you just shut the hell up" She said as she strengthened her magic around his neck. When his eyes rolled back she smiled with pleasure. "Haven't done that in a while!" She said as she jumped back up the trees and went back to Fairy Tail.

"Rose went out alone?" Master yelled.

"Master, she's only re-checking the tent area! She'll be back soon!"

"Actually I'm right here!" Said Rose as she jumped from the ceiling. She pulled her mask down and looked at Master. "They've moved out. They left a while ago. I don't know how they moved that fast when everything was the same this morning."

"Well, I guess I better tell the guild about the war."

"That would be best" Rose said. "And my brother? How's Natsu-nii's condition"

"He's in the infirmary. You tell him our situation."

Rose nodded and ran out. The infirmary, though small was full of light. "Natsu-nii!"

She ran to her brothers bedside. He was sitting up but he had a deep look in his eyes. Lucy was there as well and they were in a thick tension silence.

"Rose-chan, he's not speaking. He won't talk to anyone! All the scars are gone! I don't get what's happening! But I think you do, so, please, will you tell me what the heck is going on?"

"Um, well, Natsu-nii, do you mind if I tell her?"

Natsu turned his head slowly and looked to her with deep eyes, he nodded once and looked back out the window.

"What the hell is going on Rose?" Lucy pleaded. She was frantic.

"You notice, Natsu only just remembered I was his sister? Well he lost memories of me and pretty much the rest of our happy family."

"F-family?'

"Hai, and our father, the one and only dark wizard, Zeref."

Lucy's eyes widened. Her tears only strengthening from that word. "So your father was obviously the violent and abusive kind?"

"Actually, quite the opposite. Zeref was the most nicest man. The best father one could ask for in our poor and young family. He loved my mother, he loved us. He protected it all came to an end when a mysterious man found us. He felt my potential strength. He had this one off spell to corrupt a wizard. He aimed it at me, but my father, he, he took it. He jumped in front of my two year old body. He had an illness that night. That last day was the best I've ever had and it had to be ruined. My father changed literally, in one night. He woke up with a headache. A black substance consuming his body. His smile from warm and open to cold and menacing. His eyes from understanding and love, became one-sided and hate.

He fore saw Natsu killing him and tried to kill him by hurting his back., Mother tried to stop him. We hid and they took the fight outside. After an hour we went outside and fond our mother dead. . We were alone for a few weeks. Then a storm separated us. We never saw eachother again until a few weeks ago.

I will do anything to know that Zeref will die. I love my father. But my conflict will never be resolved. I will do anything to see his body lie there lifeless."

Lucy was scared. Not of Zeref, but of Rose. Hate for all those years, for a person that you still want to love.

Lucy hugged Rose. "You don't need to hate. Love will always show the way"

"I'm sorry, Lucy, but I can't. I lost all love for those who so much as calls me the daughter of someone so wretched. I will be the sister of Natsu. The daughter of Ignatia. But I will never be the daughter of Zeref Jade."

"Rose." Natsu spoke for the first time."I love my family. I am a Dragneel. Within I'm a Jade. The same is for Zeref. I love Igneel. He taught me what I needed. But, my biological Father, I never lost sight of him. When my memories came back, I knew that I still loved him. He is still good inside. He's still a Jade."

"Natsu-nii. You are smarter than you think" Rose said with a small smile as she left the room.

"Natsu, are you okay?" Lucy asked. She put her hand on his shoulder. Her touch was like an electric shock. It passed through his body and he felt his 'instincts' were threatening to take over, even in his condition.

"Lucy, I'm fine" Natsu managed to say. He looked to her and gave her his signature toothy grin. "Now lets get out to the guild hall! I'm starving!"

"Yeah!" And Lucy pecked him on the cheek and ran out. Natsu froze. The had deep and meaningful conversation and all of a sudden he was all light on his feet. His face went red. He could feel his body temperature rise, which was quite unusual for a fire dragon slayer.

He shook his head and his red face soon became just a light dusting of pink on his cheeks. Until of course he heard a tiny giggle from behind the small table across from the bed.

"Natsu-san!" Wendy said as she popped out from behind. "You have a funny face when you're embarrassed"

"When did you get in here?"

"As soon as Lucy left. I don't know what she said but she must of hit you pretty hard eh?"

Natsu grumbled something and walked out to the guild hall. Master was sitting on the bar table. Everyone was sitting down and waiting. For Natsu. So when everyone saw a dazed Natsu, they just tried to keep their laughs contained. Lucy didn't see. She was in a corner surrounded by levy and Lisanna.

"I can't believe I did that!" Lucy whispered.

"Well that was bold but next time aim a little closer to the mouth!" joked the two girls.

"Okay enough jokes he just came out of the infirmary. He looks pretty funny though. You affected him pretty bad!"

"Oh shut up! Master has an important announcement!" Lucy said as she walked to one of the tables to hear better.

"Okay! Here I go! I do not know how to put this to you guys but, Fairy Tail was waged war upon a few weeks ago." Master said with a smile.

Mira glared at him for being so non serious. "Master"

"Okay I'm sorry. Look, we have a pretty bad situation. There's a guild that is, without a doubt, the strongest guild in all of Fiore."

"How strong is the guild?" A random guild member asked.

Master looked down to his feet, too afraid to tell his children. A war was nothing to Fairy Tail. But this was different.

He felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see a smiling Rose. "Would you like me to tell them my conclusions of my investigations?"

"If you don't mind, Rose-chan. I don't think I can tell them easily after all the information you've given me."

Rose nodded and looked to all her guild mates. "The guild is called Black Blood. I have conducted research and I can tell you this, Do not slack off. Each and every one of them, an S-class mage. Good luck. But what you are to absolutely avoid is the Master."

"Who's the master? Rose?" Levy asked.

Rose avoided eye contact to those who were staring, especially those of her brother's. "The master, is, Zeref."

Lucy again struck with surprise. But this time she was not the only one. "Wh- how do you know this?" She asked.

"Research, Lucy. In this guild, it is a rule to be a ruthless, heartless killer. If you're not, you're murdered whilst you sleep."

Rose then walked to the door. As she opened it she put her mask on and spun her plait into a bun. She tightened the bun and her eyes became onyx black, similar to Natsu's.

"Everyone, please, Gildarts will arrive here within the hour. When he comes, I want plans. This is a serious war. Not some dumb mission. If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail and lose this war. He will know what to do." Rose turned back one more time. "I'll release my magical power now. If I hold it down any longer, it will take to long for it to reach its greatest point when it's needed. Sit on the floor or you'll be crushed."

She closed her now onyx eyes and a small magical circle appeared where her heart was.

"Dimittam"*

And the circle spun and a pattern seemed to occur. It unlocked and a thick magical flow erupted from her body. Everyone felt an enormous weight on their backs. The weight of her magical power was too strong to even stand around her.

"I'll try to take out most of the guild members. Do not be afraid to take lives if you get ambushed." And Rose left.

Natsu was about to run after her but was stopped by Master. "Her magical energy is at its weakest point still. If you stay with her, you'll surely be crushed by it before you even get to help her."

Natsu stayed back and when everyone else was able to stand, Lucy walked to Natsu. "She's strong. She'll come back soon."

Dammit! of all the days that they had to act, it was the day I was gonna finally make something happen to those two! Urgh, If Mira touches that magic potion I'm gonna kill her.

Rose jumped down from one of the trees spotting the insignia of a man with a dagger. As she jumped down, the man began to wobble and shake, feeling a heavy, crushing feeling. When Rose finally landed he turned around, only to kneel unwillingly.

"Who the hell are you?"

"An assassin" She simply said and the man's stomach was soon cut clean into the middle as he choked.

"Gah!" He managed to lift his hand and some strange light sped out straight to Rose, but she took it, with her hand and squashed it like a grape.

"Some S-class mage" She said as she continued. She managed to take out about thirty people in about twenty minutes.

"And I thought this was going to be hard." She said out loud. She was walking casually now. Now that her magic was completely unleashed, if you weren't strong enough, or if you were unprepared, you would just choke and fall.

Rose was getting bored, but she could feel her blood thirst. Her eyes widened, her hands shook, but to no avail, she could feel hatred inside of her. She knew this was not good so she absorbed back her magic power and headed back to the guild.

"Natsu, she'll come back, I promise. If you die out there she'll never forgive herself and may kill herself as well. Rose is strong and you know it!"

"Luce, you don't get it. Rose is strong. But I need to be there and help her."

"You sound really out of character you know that?"

"Yeah. I know."

Lucy was worried. Natsu made a sentence without anger, or happiness. It was just genuine fear.

"Natsu, why don't you sleep now. You lost a lot of blood. Go back to the infirmary."

"No, I'll wait here."

Lucy hesitated for a bit, but smiled. She hugged him and leaned her head on his shoulder. "I'll wait too then."

Happy began to laugh inwardly. "They liiiiike each other."

"Lisanna, I wish I could just nudge them ever so slightly. You know?" Levy said.

"Yeah, I know."

Rose walked in the guild, her magic now stored back inside her.

She thought about unleashing her plan on the couple but decided to put it off. She undid her bun back into its long plait, only to be pushed to the floor by Natsu and Lucy.

"Whoa!"

"Don't leave without me ever again!"

"Don't scare me like that!"

Rose stood up and dusted her knees.

"Master, we're going back to the old guild. The one before Tenrou. We need to stay safe and this place just won't work"

"Kid you're dreaming. That place is too expensive."

"Have you been paying your bills Master?"

"Yes of course!"

"And do you actually read the letters that come with the receipts?"

"No! I don't bother with that crap!"

"Master! Those were the bills paying the old guild! You've paid all the money to keep the old Fairy Tail building forever! The council have asked why you haven't moved back yet!"

Master spat out his beer.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get out of this shack!"

"Hai!"

And if you were on that street, you would see a partying mob walk behind a tiny man and a ninja, into an abandoned building. That's normal.

Indeed, a very normal day for Fairy Tail. Hiding in fear while rejoicing. Walking on streets when their lives are on the line. Living when they should be dead. Walking with people who you never knew would have blood thirst.

I'm starting to really like this story...
