No FLAMING OR CRITICS PLEASE!

Lucy wasn't that surprised when she found Natsu in her room.

"Gah! What are you going in here!?"

Natsu groaned and opened his eyes. "Hmm?"

Lucy glared at him and then threw a pillow at his face.

"Ah!" Natsu gasped and then sat up.

"What are you doing!"

"I was sleeping!"

Lucy rolled her eyes. There was silence again.

"Where's Happy?"

Natsu shrugged. "Still over with Wendy and Carla."

"Oh," Lucy cleared her throat. "so...how are you?"

Natsu frowned. "Tired."

There was another awkward silence.

"Maybe we should go on a job today?" Natsu suggested.

"Actually, I was going to go out-"

"Come on!" Natsu protested. "I think it would be...fun? Maybe it would help with my sleep deprivation!"

Lucy scowled. "But I-"

Natsu made a pouty face. "Please?"

Did Natsu just, beg?

Lucy sighed. "Fine! Fine!"

"Just the two of us?"

"Um, no, how about we get the rest of the group?"

"Fine."

Team Natsu finally decided on a job, to help find a missing dinning set that was expensive, and was stolen by a bandit. They were also suppose to hunt the bandit down at put him away.

But the way to the town was a while to get there.

And this is where Team Natsu is now, debating about what use of transport to use.

"How about we just...walk?" Natsu asked hopefully.

"That would take to long," Erza replied coldly.

"Maybe we could take a carriage?" Lucy asked.

"No, to fancy. We could get some of our Fairy Tail animals." Gray said.

Erza shook her head. "We're going to take the train."

"What!?" Natsu exclaimed. "No! No! Please!"

Erza rolled her eyes. "You can sleep. You obviously still need some."

Natsu's face turned sad and afraid, and he leaned against Gray, who looked unamused.

"Get off flame brain." Gray grunted.

"But...I don't want to get motion sickness..." Natsu cried.

"Natsu!" Erza growled in exasperation. "Please, be quiet!"

Lucy frowned for the second time. Natsu was acting strange.

They boarded the train, and once they got on, Natsu immediately felt ill. He clung to Erza, as he sunk to the floor. Nausea engrossed him, as his motion sickness inaugurated.

They sat down, and Natsu groaned his head lying against the window. Despite his nausea, and the urge not to sleep, he finally let his eyelids droop, and he slipped into sleep.

"Ue o muite arukou, Namida ga kobore nai you ni, Omoidasu haru no hi, Hitoribotchi no yoru, Ue o muite arukou, Nijinda hoshi o kazoete, Omoidasu natsu no hi, Hitoribotchi no yoru, Shiawase wa kumo no ue ni, Shiawase wa sora no ue ni, Ue o muite arukou, Namida ga kobore nai you ni, Nakinagara aruku, Hitoribotchi no yoru," Natsu whistled, which was very good for a five year old. "Omoidasu aki no hi, Hitoribotchi no yoru, Kanashimi wa hoshi no kage ni, Kanashimi wa tsuki no kage ni, Ue o muite arukou, Namida ga kobore nai you ni, Nakinagara aruku,Hitoribotchi no yoru..."

Natsu finished the song with whistling again.

Then he continued.

"I look up as I walk, So that the tears won't fall Though the tears well up as I walk For tonight I'm all alone tonight Remembering those autumn days But I am all alone tonight, Sadness lies in the shadow of the stars, Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon, I look up as I walk, So that the tears won't fall, Though the tears well up as I walk...For tonight I'm all alone..."

Zeref hadn't come back for about seven hours. Natsu kept whipping away the tears that were trying to burst out of his eyes. And he looked up, just as the song said, and tried to get the tears to stay in his eyes. It didn't work. They slid down his face.

He wanted to go find his brother, but he was to afraid. He was afraid he would get hurt, that is brother was already hurt. He wanted to be tougher, but he couldn't go help his brother now?

Natsu stood up, determination filling his expression. He got close to a village, not knowing where he was going, but before he entered the city, a group of men circled him.

"Aw, look. A boy."

Natsu conjured up courage and glared at them.

"This kids got some spunk."

"I'm looking for my brother!"

"Good luck finding him. Boys your age don't last more then an hour here!" One man chuckled.

"Speaking of boys, can I keep this one?" Another man asked tauntingly.

"First, let's teach him a lesson, for glaring at us."

Natsu was pushed around. He felt a lot of pain enter his body, as the men kneed him, and punched him. Natsu started crying. This was more then a five year old could take.

"Aw! Your crying! If this is what your brother is like, he wouldn't able to last a minute."

"I think I saw your brother!" One man said.

Natsu glanced up hopefully.

"One of my friends slit his throat!"

Natsu's eyes got big, as the man laughed. They were laughing at this!?

Natsu's fists shook, and his lips quivered.

"Oh! He's sad!"

Natsu glared, and then punched one man in the face, jumping so he could reach his height.

"I hate you!" Natsu growled.

"Get him!"

Then they started beating him again. Then it stopped, when a familiar voice intervened.

"What...is going on here?"

The men stopped and looked over. A boy, that looked to be twelve or eleven, with raven black hair and dark eyes stood there.

Once he spotted Natsu, anger filled his expression. "What..." Natsu looked up. "The..." It was Zeref. "Hell...is going on here?"

"You must be chimps brother!" One man laughed.

"Awe, he was crying, saying, where was my brother? HA!"

Zeref glared at all of them. "You bastards!"

Natsu recognized this look. Zeref was angry.

His eyes switched from dark, to red. His hands shook as black energy was created.

The men backed up in fear.

"Z-zeref..." Natsu murmured. "P-please Zeref-Ani..."

"Zeref-san!?" A man exclaimed.

"I-I heard of him!"

"I heard he killed his own parents!"

"Let's get out of here!"

"You will not leave." Zeref said, in a deep voice that wasn't his.

The men trembled in fear.

"Not until I have set curses upon you!" Zeref exclaimed.

Natsu watched as his brother summoned up power, and something bright glowed. A person appeared, and she smiled at Zeref. "What is your bidding?"

"You will haunt savages! These, you will haunt their grandchildren! And their grandchildren's grandchildren! You will haunt their

family's! You will do as you please when that deed is finished! If the entire family thrown out of existence!"

The demon nodded, and disappeared, into the men.

But Zeref was still angry.

"Zeref-Ani!" Natsu cried. "Please! Calm down!"

A man came from the city, and gasped. "Zeref-san! Calm! Be calm!"

Zeref wasn't listening. Then the old man looked at Natsu, and summoned him over. Natsu, afraid, clambered over.

"You must be Natsu! Help him! I trust you to calm him!"

Black power started in a ball in Zeref's chest. He was going to have an outburst.

Natsu racked his mind, then he stopped and looked at Zeref.

"I look up as I walk So that the tears won't fall Remembering those those spring days, But I am all alone tonight. I look up as I walk. Counting the stars with tearful eyes Remembering those summer days But I am all alone tonight Happiness lies beyond the clouds, Happiness lies up above the sky...I look up as I walk, So that the tears won't fall Though the tears well up as I walk For tonight I'm all alone tonight Remembering those autumn days But I am all alone tonight, Sadness lies in the shadow of the stars, Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon, I look up as I walk, So that the tears won't fall, Though the tears well up as I walk...For tonight I'm all alone..."

Then Natsu hugged Zeref. And Zeref quickly calmed down. "N-Natsu..."

The old man smiled at them. "Good job, Natsu-san."

"Sensei..." Zeref murmured, and turned to Natsu. "Natsu, this is my sensei, that is the reason I went into the city..."

"I came looking for you." Natsu muttered. "I was scared."

"I-I'm so sorry!" Zeref cried. "I-I didn't realize...that...I'm sorry."

(A/N: Another dream, sorry about the confusion)

"No!" Natsu screamed. "Zeref! What...what did you do!?"

Zeref calmed down, and looked down, and gasped. "W-what have I done?"

Natsu shook his head in disbelief. "Y-you killed him..."

The five year old salmon haired boy gaped at his brother's deeds. "H-how could you?"

Zeref's eyes welled with tears. "I...i didn't mean too..."

Natsu looked at the ground, not knowing what to say. He didn't think his brother would do this again.

"I-I'm a monster." Zeref said. "I'm a monster! And you don't love me...how could you after this...?"

Natsu stopped thinking bad. Zeref wasn't a monster...even though this happened. And he promised him that Natsu would always love him.

"No." Natsu said. "Zeref, y-you...your not! And I love you!"

Zeref looked over at Natsu with big eyes. "I love you too!"

They hugged each other.

"We should tell your sensei." Natsu finally said.

"Death...despair...destitute..."

...

"You murderer!"

...

"You will not be able to bring your brother back! Natsu-san is dead!"

...

"Natsu...my name is Zeref Dragneel, I'm your brother..."

...

"Natsu! Your scarf! It's black!"

"You...bastard..."

...

"Ahh! Who are you!? Why are you doing this! You killed my family!"

"I, am E.N.D. And I never hesitate to kill."

...

"We are demons from the books of Zeref..."

...

"Lucy!"

...

"Goodbye..."

"Nooo!"

"Gah!" Natsu's eyes flew open and he shot up.

He was outside, and he had been put on a blanket on the ground. A fire had been started, and his friends were sitting around it, staring at him.

"Are you okay?" Lucy worried.

Natsu shivered. "Y-yes. Fine."

"You don't sound fine." Erza stood and knelt next to Natsu.

The fire light danced across her face, as she looked at Natsu with a worried expression, and examined him.

"Really Erza, I'm fine." Then Natsu's voice cracked.

"You aren't very good at hiding the truth." Erza chuckled. "Now, what did you dream about?"

"It was nothing." Natsu replied quickly. "Just a bad dream."

"Your being awfully defensive." Erza raised her eyebrow.

Natsu stared at Erza. He wanted to tell her. But...he didn't want them to hate him. To think he was conspiring with Zeref, or that he was related to Zeref.

They would think that.

It couldn't be true. Natsu wouldn't allow it to be true. But where were all these dreams coming from?

"I'm hungry." Natsu said.

"Alright." Erza sighed. "We'll talk about this later. But we will talk."

The next day, they stopped at the village they were suppose to be in. They met with the man that had put up the job request, and then they split up.

"I'm going alone." Natsu announced. "I...kind of want to think. But if I need you in a fight, I know you'll be able to find me."

Erza nodded. "Be careful."

Natsu nodded, and walked off.

One of the reasons he had chosen the job, was that he had heard that the bandit knew a little about Zeref, and his wareabouts. If he could find him, then maybe he could find out where Zeref is.

He had so many questions to ask the evil mage, that it was unreal.

Natsu looked around the city. He had been given something that the bandit left behind, a scrap of burnt clothing. But it had a strong enough sense that Natsu might be able to track it.

None of the others knew about it though.

Natsu followed the scent, and was drawn into a bar. His eyes rested on a man wearing black sitting at the bar. Natsu causally walked over, and tapped him on the back. The man turned and looked at Natsu.

"Who are you?"

"You're the one that just tapped me on the back!"

"True, but your the one that stole from Ascow-San's house." Natsu replied coldly.

The man gasped. "H-how-"

"I want information, and then I'm taking you in."

"N-no! I won't let you!"

"Ever heard of Fairy Tail?"

"Yeah...the magic guild."

"Well, heard of the Salamander?"

"Y-yes..."

"That would be me."

Natsu showed him his mark.

The man's eyes turned to fear. "W-what do you want Salamander sir?"

"Where is Zeref?"

"I-I don't know! If I did, I wouldn't be here!"

"I know you've done something."

The man sighed. "Okay, so I met with a demon, that's it!"

"What was the demons name?"

"Uh...Messenger I think."

"What did he say?"

"He said...that...he would be waiting at the docks."

"Was that the message he gave to you?"

"Y-yes...he said it was meant for someone else, someone who would ask!"

"Ah..." Natsu grit his teeth.

So Messenger was expecting Natsu.

"Come on, your coming with me."

"No!"

Natsu growled, his hand turning to flame. "Wanna bet?"

"Your not the only one with magic Salamander!"

All conversation in the bar stopped, and everyone stared at Natsu and the bandit.

Natsu raised his fist and punched. But the man blocked.

"Slivering snake poison blade!" He yelled.

Then something appeared in his hand, and he swiped at Natsu, who jumped back in a dodge. Natsu threw flames at him, and he dodged as well. The civilians ran out of the bar screaming.

Natsu and the man fought, until his friends showed up. They started assisting Natsu.

This was Natsu's plan. While his friends were fighting, he slipped out the back.

It was almost insane, but his dreams and sleep deprivation were driving him insane. He couldn't handle it, he needed answers, he had questions about what Zeref had told him last, about Igneel, about his dreams, about E.N.D.

Natsu ran to the docks, no one was there.

"Knew you'd come."

Natsu turned and saw Messenger smiling, leaning against a pole. "'Ello, Natsu."

"I want answers. And you'd better talk!"

"No need." Messenger grinned. "I'll take you to Zeref."

I seem to be in the Fairy Tail mood, sorry about the rapped up ending, and to finish it up because it was late!
Anyways, leave a review! Again, no flaming or critics please! Thanks for reading!
