Last time on Flames of Hope
"Ig-Igneel? His scent was on you but why?" Natsu said almost crying
"Huh?What?" Kuro said
'Crap if he finds out then he'll take it and won't give it back I have to lie to him. I'm sorry Natsu.' Kuro thought to herself.
"Huh who's Igneel?" She said acting confused.
"Kuro don't lie to me why is Igneel's scent on you!?"
"Natsu I'm sorry I never told you from the start but Igneel gave me something one fore me and you and well I intended on giving it to you but seeing how you are acting now on realization of smelling his scent I don't know of I can anymore." She said with worry and tears in her eyes.
"Shall I explain what's happening right now and why you smelled his scent?"
*After some explaination*
"Huh that's weird Natsu hasn't been to the guild in days I wonder what happened to him I'm going to check up on him." Lucy said with worry as she headed to his and Happy's house.
As she opened the door the place was empty except for one note that said:
Hey guys sorry for leaving in such short notice but
I'm off to find something that Kuro said to help her find
And that something is important to me so please don't worry
About me it would make me sad to know I made my friends sad
And one more thing that important thing is well
It's Igneel
-Natsu and Kuro
