Author's Notes: So maybe I came on to strong the last time, I mean about the reading not the awesomeness. So maybe you don't want to tell anybody… I get it :**(. What you could do though is review, I loooooooooove feedback. Comment and tell if my story sounds bad or maybe comment and say that it's awesome, whatever works. So you sneaks (I know you didn't just read all of that) let's continue. Let the awesomeness begin!

Chapter 5

Screams.

Blood.

Bodies.

It was everywhere and I didn't know what to do with it.

Do I leave and run?

Do I stay and fight?

Where is my love?

Where is my Asahi?

Is he dead?

Is he alive?

Is he looking for me?

Should I be looking for him?

What should I do?

What do I do?

What do I do!?

Fairy Tail

A scream tried to pry its way out of my lips, but I wouldn't let it.

Take it in.

Calmly.

Slowly.

You're not really there.

That's not really you.

That's not really happening.

There is nobody screaming for help.

There is no blood.

There are no bodies.

My breaths were coming out raggedly, something that would result from a marathon. I dared not to open my eyes just yet, the images were still there. I lay still, imitating one of those poor souls I witnessed in my dream or vision or memories whatever it was I wasn't entirely sure yet. I had been having these dreams for quite a while, they plagued my thoughts as I lay asleep peacefully in my bed enrapturing me in a series of passionate or horrific images.

As I slowly felt my senses returning to my own body, not that of Chiharu's, I felt warmth. It felt like heaven to my dulled and frazzled nerves, so I snuggled closer to the source of that soothing feeling. As my hearing returned though I heard worried mutterings that were unfamiliar to me, unfamiliar. I panicked, rushing to regain my senses… I felt it abruptly. It felt as if my nerves were being slowly electrocuted and disconnected all in an instant, this had happened before… but it had never been this bad.

I let out an ear piercing shriek.

My body was convulsing uncontrollably, little electric sparks could be seen by those watching.

It hurt.

It hurt so badly.

Then it was warm.

Very warm.

The warmth started in my chest and snuck its way through my body alleviating the pains racking my body. I felt a hand touch my face, it was warm… and very soft. My eyes fluttered open as I looked into the eyes of the person healing me, Asahi. As soon as my eyes open relief filled his face, which was quickly replaced by half lidded eyes and a sagging hand that was dragged across my face until he yet again laid there peacefully on the cot we were both occupying.

When heard a brief ahem! I turned my head to see a group of people surrounding us with mouths agape. I laughed, in relief, in shock, in happiness. I tried to turn and greet the people properly but noticed that I was held in a bone shattering hold by the one and only Natsu, his face peaceful as he slept. I couldn't move. He was in the way. So I did what anyone would have done, I kicked him… in the balls. He yelped and fell off of the bed in one quick garbled motion.

Sitting up and turning to the curious faces; one who I noticed was laughing uncontrollably rolling on the floor, who I might add was missing the majority of his clothing. I scanned the other faces briefly before saying, "Hello, my name is Lucy. I'm assuming I'm in Fairy Tail?" The others looked upon me with shocked expressions, as a small old man came to sit at the edge of the bed.

"Hello Lucy, my name is Master Makarov, can I ask how you knew you were in Fairy Tail?" Makarov said with a curious expression. I thought quickly trying to come up with some plausible excuse to tell the man and those surrounding… but then again I guess there was no point in lying.

With a sigh I said, "Before I tell you I need you to remove Natsu from the room." I said bluntly nodding my head towards the male that was still unconscious, a pained expression gracing his features.

"Very well." He said, ignoring the dumbfounded stares from those that sat around him. "Mirajane, can you please take Natsu downstairs."

"Okay, Master!" She said a chipper tone, grabbing and almost throwing the young unconscious male over the railing. "All done!" She said dusting off her hands. All eyes were now back on her.

Folding my hands in my lap as I looked into the curious faces and began my story, from the beginning. "Firstly, I knew I was going to end up in Fairy Tail because someone in a dream told me." The first to speak up was a woman with flaming red hair.

"What do you mean a dream? What does this have to do with Natsu? Was Natsu in your dream? When…" She fired off questions left and right earning a silencing hand from the Master.

"One question at a time please, Erza." He said soothingly.

"Secondly, the one in the dream who told me that I would be here was… myself." They stared at me dumbstruck, obviously not understanding. I shook my hands in front of me quickly waving off their questions before they even had a chance to speak. "Let me just start from the beginning…" I took a deep breath and then released it as I began to speak. "I started to have these dreams or visions or memories or whatever these are a when I was still relatively small. At first it was just snippets, like a breeze or the touch of a hand… but then it got bad. I was reliving battle scenes and assassinations and… just blood." I said lamely, their faces were intrigued as if pushing me to continue. "Not all of them were unpleasant, but it was still terrifying for a child to go through this. Another problem was, when I'm having a vision my senses completely disappear into the body of Chiharu. What you just witnessed was one of those situations. I'm normally ok if I just let them return naturally… but you scared when I heard unfamiliar voices so I forced them to come back and that's what happened." They all shared a guilty look on their face; when I was about to reassure them the one known as Mirajane spoke.

"Who is Chiharu?" She asked.

Releasing a shuddering breath I said, "Chiharu is the one who told me where I was. She was a Miko, what you would consider a seer. She witnessed future events; and sometimes when I'm in her head I predict things in a similar way." The boy that was on the ground now rose, losing his pants in the process.

"What does this have to do with Natsu?" He asked.

I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment, "The thing is when I met Natsu the other morning I was completely caught off guard, you see Chiharu had a lover… Natsu just happened to look just like yesterday morning. But when I was on that boat and he rescued me he called me… Chiharu." The others gasped as I continued. "Natsu's name was Asahi. Asahi was Chiharu's bodyguard, assigned to her by her father for his amazing spiritual abilities. Chiharu had moments like mine and he was use his blue flames to calm and heal her."

"So that's why Natsu was wielding a blue flame earlier…" Master muttered.

"Exactly. Although I don't remember what happened after Natsu called me Chiharu, I do know one thing. You must never tell Natsu about this." I said with a determined glare towards the few that were in the room.

Erza sputtered and said, "But he has a right to know, you cannot decide that!" Thoughts of protest were voiced as I started to fume with anger.

"You have no idea!" I yelled silencing them efficiently. "You have no idea what he will have to go through! The pain! The suffering! There are moments of joy and happiness that overwhelm you but Asahi did not have a pretty past. He was abandoned, left to die by his own family. He was brutally tortured. He was forced to fight, countless battles." I said with tears coming into my eyes, choking on my next words. "I saved him but I always feared that I could not give him enough… and when you are fully intertwined with someone else's mind and body you feel what they feel, every bit of it. When I saw him get critically injured I felt like my heart had been ripped out… and still haven't seen when he dies." I said with a sad smile tears falling slowly. "You would be sending him into hell… so until he remembers completely I will stay by his side and protect him. But please, please promise me that you won't tell him!" I said begging. The people in the room stared at me in horror imagining their lovable and annoyingly dense friend having to go through that. The Master was the first to say something, something that I would always remember as the first kindness I had received in years.

"I promise."

The wheel of Hitsuzen has finally started to move.
