Hargeon, Friday 4:57 p.m.
"I'm such an idiot..." Kagura sat down on a fallen pillar with a rain cloud above her head, clearly distraught over a past decision that she can only regret and think of what she should have done instead.
Soft foot steps ahead of her caused her look up past the rubble at her feet. "Oh." Kagura said uncaringly. "It's just you." She sighed, her shoulders slumping.
"Hmm... not the kind of greeting I'm used to..." A unique, brash voice said back to her.
Kagura rolled her eyes. "Sorry if I'm not falling to you feet and kissing the ground you walk on, but I have bigger things going on in my life right now, Natsu Dragneel." Kagura told the Dragon Slayer without any hesitation.
Natsu smiled cheekily. "I'm sorry if I've grown a little used to it by now, but I can't help it that people want to thank me for saving the world."
"Bravado and pride will only get you so far in life." Kagura repeated one of her favorite samurai teachings.
"How about kissing the woman you look up to as a sister?" Natsu shot back.
Oof. That was a low blow Natsu.
"Ugh!" Kagura clutched her head in shame again, hoping to hide the massive blush on her face. "Why did you have to bring it up?!" Kagura yelled in frustration.
Natsu sat down beside her and gave her an empathetic look. "Alright I'm sorry, that was a bit too far, I'll admit. But everyone else is talking about it so I just thought you should know."
Kagura didn't even look at him. "How does everyone know?" She asked.
"Jellal may have the body of a man but boy does he have the mouth of an old woman in a gossip group." Natsu shrugged.
"It was a moment of utter stupidity..." Kagura said softly. "I thought it'd be cute and we could move past it but I didn't think Erza would react the way she did." The sword wielder admitted.
Natsu rose an eyebrow. "You mean how she ran out of the tent and started wiping her tongue off with bandages?" Natsu giggled but stopped when she looked up to glare daggers at him. "You're right, that was super childish of her." Natsu quickly corrected himself.
"Yes, I mean that." Kagura growled.
Natsu put a hand on her shoulder. "Well look at it this way, we now know that Erza is straight, at least." Natsu tried to look on the bright side but Kagura wouldn't even let his lighter mood help her.
"I'm straight too..." Kagura whispered but Natsu still heard her.
"Wow! Really?!" He was completely shocked but another glare silenced him. "Err- I mean, of course you are! So why did you kiss her?" He couldn't stop himself now, he just had to know why.
Kagura shrugged. "I don't know. It was just spontaneous. I was feeling the rush of battle and war and I just kinda went with it, ya know? Like, would you have kissed Gray if you were in that situation?" She asked.
"No." Natsu said simply.
'Yes.'
'Ah! Get away from me gay thoughts!' Natsu screeched in his head but keeping a calm and collected profile on the outside.
"Oh." Kagura said with a solemn expression. "I guess I'm just weird then."
"Not exactly." Natsu shook his head. "Compared to even the most normal member of Fairy Tail, I'd say you'd still look boring next to them." He smirked.
"I hope that's a compliment." Kagura said to herself, not directly to Natsu.
"Well it is, but that sword of yours still makes you unique when compared to a random person." Natsu told her.
Kagura looked to her side and picked up her sealed katana. "You mean Archenemy? Yeah, I probably would fit into a crowd without this, but I'm never letting it go. Funny, I once swore to use this blade to cut down Jellal..." She said longingly.
Natsu tilted this head at that. "You mean from the Tower of Heaven and all that bullshit? Erza told me about that."
Kagura nodded. "Yes, I've heard what you did as well, and I must thank you for helping Erza take care of it. While I do not hate Jellal as much as I used to, I still cannot forgive him for killing my brother and hurting my friends."
'I've heard that broken record a million times.' Natsu chuckled in his head.
"Kagura." Natsu shook her shoulder gently so she would look at him. "It takes a lot of courage and strength to do that, I'm sure Erza is very proud of her little sister." He stated, making her blush profusely.
"Little sister?!" Kagura shrieked. "I totally forgot about that! Now Erza will think I'm into incest!" A metaphorical rain cloud began to hover over Kagura and pound her with rain.
Natsu just scratched the back of his head and chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm sure she's already forgotten all about it." He waved her off.
That didn't help Kagura one bit as she just pulled her legs closer to her body to try and comfort herself. "I'm sure she hasn't. It's not everyday you get kissed on the lips by another girl."
Rolling his eyes, Natsu was about to say something else that would hopefully cheer her up but he was stopped when he heard a low, rumbling noise. He knew exactly what it was and it wasn't thunder.
Putting on his best teasing grin, Natsu wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Looks like someone's a little hungry~" He chided, lightly poking the side of her stomach.
"Maybe..." Kagura pouted.
"Aww, don't be so ashamed. Everyone needs food, some a little more than others, but it's nothing to be ashamed of." Natsu taught.
"You really live life regret-free, don't you?" Kagura asked.
"Yep." The pink haired young man nodded. "One step at a time, never looking back and only sticking to the present."
The purple haired woman looked down at her feet. "So you make a decision on the fly and not think it through?" She asked.
"All the time." He chuckled. "Just go with the flow."
"Well then, I know what I must do now. I must learn to just 'go with the flow' as it were." She said before she stood up. Natsu was about to ask why she was standing but Kagura moved before he could, she bowed in front of him. "Natsu Dragneel, would you like to go get something to eat with me?" She asked, completely out of the blue.
"Uhhhh..." Natsu was completely caught off guard.
"You said I need to start living in the moment. I originally planned to wait for everyone else to eat but I've decided that since you live the way I wish to, I must study you closer." Kagura told him.
'Study me?' Natsu asked himself.
"So please." Kagura bowed even further. "Go out to eat with me."
"You mean like a date?" Natsu asked, completely shattering her air of confidence to where she crumbled like a demolished building.
"Uhh, I-I suppose?" Kagura squeaked.
"Eh, I got nothing else going on, so sure." Natsu shrugged and stood up with her. "But beware, I've been known to pig out a lot."
"T-That doesn't matter..." Kagura said, twirling a strand of her purple hair out of embarrassment. "I can afford just about anything so don't feel the need to hold back." She told him.
Natsu just smiled at her, happy that she was coming out of her shell. Fortunately for him, it probably won't take her very long to get comfortable with him. The last thing he needs is another Erza who took years to just take her armor off around him.
"You should consider yourself luck, Kagura." Natsu said offhandedly.
The woman looked at him with her head cocked to the side. "And why is that?" She asked.
"Cause you're about to eat with the strongest man alive!" Natsu proclaimed. "First I take down Acnologia, now I'm taking down a meal! You're about to witness history in the making as I reach the top of- OW!" Natsu winced after Kagura slammed Archenemy on top of his head, effectively shutting him up.
"Congratulations Natsu, you did you job as a Dragon Slayer. What do you want, a cookie?" She asked with sarcasm weighing heavily in her voice.
Natsu just rubbed the bump on his head. "You don't have to be so mean about it..." Natsu whispered.
"I won't be if you just keep your ego in check." She shot back.
Natsu's shoulders slumped. "Ugh, so far this is the worst date I've ever been on."
Kagura looked at him once more. "Oh. Have you been on other dates before?" She asked.
"Nope." Natsu shook his head.
"Then why did you say that this was the worst?" Kagura questioned.
"Because we've only been on it for five seconds and you already hit me. That's got to set a new record." Natsu pouted.
Kagura blushed. "Fine, I'm sorry." She apologized.
"Tell that to my head..." Natsu groaned, it was going to leave a nasty bruise but he would learn to deal. "You're just making all sorts of bad decisions today, aren't you?" He asked.
"Well then hopefully asking you out is a good decision." Kagura stated, smiling at him.
"Yeah..." Natsu smiled back. "Me too."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
'That was almost fifteen years ago...' Kagura thought to herself with a smile, looking at the small, barely noticeable dent in Archenemy's sheathe, curtesy of Natsu. She had to admit, he was not joking when he said he was strong, not very many people can leave a mark on her sheath.
'Heh... In the long run, I'd have to say it was a good decision though.' Kagura looked at the sword for a little bit longer before placing it back on the ornate rack on the wall. With where she was now, she doubted she would ever need to wield the blade again. A sad but ultimately happy thought.
"Mom! Hurry up, you're going to be late for work!"
"Yeah! Get the lead out of your shoes and move it!"
Kagura's smile grew even wider, the voices of her twin daughters trying to get her out of the door even quicker. Giving Archenemy, her oldest friend, one last look, she walked out of her bedroom and down the hall to where the voices emanated from.
"Geez, you guys can't wait to get me out of the house, can you?" Kagura asked, looking at the sight in front of her. Her husband, Natsu Dragneel, sitting at the chabudai with their daughters, Kacy and Katherine Dragneel, and Happy.
Natsu laughed before taking another spoonful of cereal into his mouth. "They want to make sure you're not late for your first day at your new job." He told her.
"Yeah, punctuality is everything." Katherine noted.
"Katherine, we're thirteen, we don't know what that word means." Kacy scolded her twin sister.
Katherine waved her sister off. "Well I do. I'm the smart twin, remember?" She asked.
"Wait." Natsu paused. "I thought Kacy was the smart one." He said.
"No, Katherine is because she has her hair down. I'm the one that's good at sports and you can tell by the way I have my ponytail." Kacy told her dad.
"Ah stereotypes..." Happy smiled.
"Well then I need to go change the name on the signup sheet for the chess tournament." Natsu glowered, already feeling the headache that will be changing registration forms. Honestly, it's bad enough that his IQ was so low.
Kagura smiled lovingly at her little family. "Anyways, I've got to get going. I'll see you guys when I get home." The purple haired woman waved goodbye to her pink haired family.
"Bye mom." Katherine, Kacy, and oddly enough, Happy, said simultaneously.
"Love you sweetheart!" Natsu waved.
Kagura gave them one last look before opening the door and walking out, ready to start her new career as a museum tour guid. Sure it wasn't as exciting as slicing down a five story tall monster but it was better than staying at the lecherous whore house that Mermaid Heel turned into since Alvarez was taken down. Well, it wasn't a real whore house, but the women there were supposed to be top models now, something she joined Mermaid Heel to avoid.
Happy flew to the window and watched as the matriarch of the family walk down the road. "She's gone!" He yelled, turning back to meet with the rest of the group.
"Girls!" Natsu shouted, flipping over his bowl of cereal and moving the table. "Get into positions!"
"Right!" Their two voices came back.
Natsu and the girls proceeded to turn into blurs, moving the table and putting down cushions on the floor. While the girls went to the fireplace and cleared off the top, moving picture frames and such while Natsu dove behind the couch.
With Kagura as the head honcho of the house, the family was kinda forced to live a more practical life. They had the basic necessities such as an oven, a fridge, ceiling fans, and a bathtub. However, they did not have a shower as Kagura saw a bath as the better option, they had to wash their clothes the old fashioned way and then hang them on a line, the girls got most of their clothes from Kagura's knitting, and they grew most of their vegetables in their garden.
Surprisingly, the family didn't mind. In fact, they had a lot of fun doing all this. Never did Kagura hear one complaint, not even from Natsu. They were a simple yet happy family.
But that didn't mean they followed every single one of her rules...
Natsu pulled up the Lacrima TV they had hidden behind the couch. "Is the fireplace cleaned off?" He asked.
"Hurry up dad!" Kacy said, pointing to the cleaned off spot on the fireplace.
"We're going to miss it!" Katherine complained.
"Don't worry, don't worry." Natsu waved them off as he set it up. "We won't miss it." He smiled, secretly snickering in his head. Who would've thought that when they created TV's, he and his daughters would hide it behind his wife's back so they could watch TV shows.
Katherine and Kacy plopped down on their cushions and eagerly waited for the Lacrima to boot up.
"You guys do know that we have to go surprise your mom later, right?" He asked them with a chuckle.
"Shh, details daddy." Katherine shushed her father.
Kacy nodded. "We'll get to it when we get to it."
Five Hours Later
"Thank you for visiting Fioran National Museum, please come again!" Kagura waved goodbye to her latest tour group, mentally sighing since she managed to handle her fifth tour group successfully. However, despite all the years of training and fighting she has done, her body is still having trouble taking in her first ever nine to five job.
'I guess I am getting old...' Kagura scratched the back of her head, looking down in shame as she felt a hundred times her age. 'I can't believe my 39th birthday is coming up.'
"I think this mummy is trying to fight you daddy."
Kagura's ears twitched, her maternal instincts instantly telling her something that she was both happy and afraid about.
"Really? He just looks too wrapped up in his work..."
"Let's just hope it's not challenging you to a wrap battle."
"*Sigh* That was awful you guys." Kacy deadpanned. "Oh there, there's mom!" She pointed across the hall to their lovable purple matriarch.
'Oh boy... I love them but I don't want Natsu to get me kicked out of here on my first day...' Kagura sweat dropped.
"Hey guys! What are you all doing here?" Kagura smiled, although it was a bit hollow.
Natsu noticed it instantly but chose not to say anything, instead he chose to just smile and play along in front of their daughters. "Hey Waifu-chan, we just wanted to stop by and see how our girl is doing." He walked over to her and pulled her into a big hug, causing the woman to blush but instantly return the gesture.
"So mom, how's your first day going?" Katherine asked, hugging her mom's right side.
Kacy did what her sister did and hugged her mom's left side. "I hope it's going well, but you kinda tired." The younger twin frowned.
"That's just because she's getting old!" Happy said.
Kagura glared at the tiny blue fur ball. "It's not like I'm immortal or anything..." Kagura said offhandedly, hoping Natsu would step in.
"It's not my fault my brother loved me too much!" Natsu defended himself. "Besides, I don't think I'm really immortal. Maybe I will just live longer."
"Oh..." Kacy and Katherine both sighed, looking a bit uneasy.
Kagura looked at her daughters and frowned. "What's the matter girls?"
"Nothing... it's just..." Kacy scratched the back of her head. "How do I say this?" She looked to her twin.
Katherine nodded, understanding what her sister was getting at. "It's just that ever since you guys told us about Alvarez and Uncle Zeref and everything about dad, we've been wondering if we're going to live that long too." Katherine said.
"Oh..." Kagura did the same thing her daughters did. This was a question no one had an answer to, they could only speculate. Would Natsu's children inherit his enhanced lifespan? At this point, no one knew.
Natsu chuckled and kneeled down next to his daughters. "Girls, I'm about to impart on you some wisdom I learned at a very young age..." Natsu smiled, his teeth sparkling like a star in the night sky.
"What is it?" The girls asked.
"Why worry about it today when you can worry about it later?" He smirked.
The girls, Kagura, and even Happy all sweat dropped.
"That's not exactly game changing advice..." Kagura sighed with a small smile, something she had to learn to do a long time ago otherwise she'd have to wear a metal gauntlet like Erza so she could bash him on the head.
"Thanks dad." Katherine said plainly.
"You're a real good role model." Kacy's body blanched.
Happy put a finger to his mouth. "I didn't think Natsu's kids could understand sarcasm..."
"Now off of that depressing topic!" Natsu stated as he stood back up and looked at his lovely wife. "While I was supposed to keep this a secret but since the girls went and ruined the mood, I feel like I have to tell you so we can be happy again."
"Dad!" Kacy balled her fists at her sides. "What are you doing? You're not supposed to tell mom!"
"Aunt Mira's going to kill you! And us for letting you tell mom!" Katherine added.
Natsu shrugged. "Screw 'em! Kagura, we need to go to the guild immediately after you get off work. There's a surprise party waiting for you." The pink haired father shamelessly spilt the beans.
Kagura put a hand to her head and smiled. "Well now I'm actually glad you told me, that way I can tidy up before we go." She sighed. "So who planned it? I can tell that you and the girls aren't behind it cause nothing can get past a mom!" She smirked confidently to which the other family members all laughed awkwardly.
'Says the woman who has yet to discover our secret TV...' Natsu, Happy, and the girls all thought simultaneously.
"Well you're not wrong, we didn't plan it." Kacy laughed.
"And Natsu's too stupid to plan anything." Happy said.
Natsu scowled. "Watch it little buddy or I'll punt you over into the monkey exhibit." He threatened before returning his gaze back to Kagura. "No, we did not plan it, your secret girlfriend did~" Natsu answered in a teasing manner.
Katherine looked shocked. "What?!"
"Mom has a secret girlfriend?!" Kacy screamed, putting her hands on her cheeks in surprise.
Steam began to rise off Kagura's head as her bangs covered her eyes. "Natsu..." She growled. "How do you even remember that when you can't even remember what you had for breakfast?"
Natsu began to sweat but laughed nonetheless. "Alright, alright. Calm down." Natsu chuckled. "I mean it was Erza who planned it."
"Aunt Erza is mom's secret girlfriend?!" Kacy began to hyperventilate.
"It's always the one you least expect!" Katherine claimed. "When did this happen? Was dad not performing well in bed?"
"Woah! Don't talk like that!" Natsu scolded.
Kagura nodded. "Yes, leave our bedroom matters to-"
"I'll have you know, I perform excellent in bed! You just don't know cause we do it whenever you guys aren't home." Natsu defended.
Kagura wanted to face palm. "No, Natsu, just no." She shook her head.
"So you want to hear the story?" Natsu grinned.
"Yes." Kacy and Katherine nodded.
"No." Kagura shook her head.
"Am I in it?" Happy asked to which Natsu shook his head. "Then no."
Natsu smirked. "Well I want to hear it so its three against two."
"Yay!" The girls cheered.
"No..." Kagura pouted. "Well you tell them the story, I need to get back to work..."
"Oh that's right, we're in a museum." Natsu noted.
"Which is the perfect place to tell a story about your past, cause you know, it's ancient history at this point." Kacy said.
"Ouch." Natsu winced. "That one cut deep kid."
"Just tell the story." Katherine sighed.
"Oh, right. So it was a few hours after I kicked Acnologia's ass..."
The End

A/N: Bam! Kagura got two girls! So, how was it? Good? Bad? Amazing? Tell me in a review.
