Demons May Cry – A Fairy Tail Story
Chapter One: The Swordsman
After a while, Natsu opened his eyes and looked around with a blank look. He felt an ache on his mouth as he reached up to touch his lip, it was half-healed. His brain was once again empty, but he knew something. An instinct, he needed some blood despite a thirst in his tongue. He could feel it in his muscles, this was bloodthirst. Natsu turned his face and noticed the red haired girl lying next to him. Yeah, she was asleep because of exhaustion and her face was looking to the other side.
Natsu looked at her and gulped, her beautiful neck was evident and it was making him drool. His brain was filled with the wish for blood, he couldn't wait for a second and crawled to her. His sharp canine teeth grew longer. Erza didn't know about what was going on, at least this was the way Natsu was thinking.
Natsu was smirking like a mad man, he leaned to her his knees on the ground. His chin was touching to Erza's back, he leaned more and prepared for a bite.
"I will protect Erza!"
…
Blood poured to ground. But is was not Erza's, it was Natsu's. He was biting his own hand, he couldn't bear the pain and opened his mouth with his other hand. A groan escaped from his mouth. He was in pain but the true pain was something different. He couldn't believe himself, he was almost going to kill his precious friend. He suddenly stood up, blood was still pouring from his hand. His face was covered with a painful expression.
"I am a monster." He said to himself as he ran into the surrounding woods. Some thorns poked his naked upper body but he ignored them as he continued to run. Erza was still there unmoving. Of course, Natsu didn't know but she had been awake the whole time. A tear escaped from her eye as she closed it. She was hesitant about offering her blood or not but she was happy that Natsu didn't bite her. He was still her old friend.
…
Natsu had bitten his hand but it didn't decrease his bloodthirst a bit. He made his way into the deep forest. He was like a drunk man, he was hitting everything all around him. He couldn't think smoothly, his brain had been thrown into a state of chaos. After a while, his foot caught on a tree root and he fell to the ground. His front body was now covered with mud, he tried to wipe it but his hands only messed with mud. When Natsu was dealing with that job, he sensed a heartbeat near to his location.
Natsu raised his face and locked his eyes with the source of the heartbeat. He ran there with inhuman speed and noticed a deer, grazing. Natsu red eyes glowed as a crazy smirk made its way onto his face. He couldn't wait for a moment, as he refused to jump into it. He wanted to finish it in the fastest way so he raised both of his hands and combined them. The deer turned to him with a scared posture. Natsu positioned his hands in a reverse position and he moved them like he was shredding something. It was a hard job for him, as he tried to find some power in his body.
"Aaa!" He shouted and the poor deer was divided in half. Blood splashed around while the dead body fell to the ground. Natsu's eyes widened as he licked his lips, he raised his right hand and the blood began to take a shape. Finally, the blood began to move to Natsu and filled his mouth. Natsu couldn't control them properly, so some of them landed on his chest. The last drop of the blood entered his mouth followed by Natsu releasing a sigh of relief.
His red eyes glowed and he felt the power flowing through his veins. A crimson mark slowly formed on the back of his hand. His eyes widened for a moment when he looked at the mark but he simply ignored it, he was busy with melting in pleasure. That was his first bloodthirst and that was unrecoverable. The pink haired boy stood up and felt the wind flying through his hair. Finally, his glowing eyes returned to their normal red form, and he looked around with his usual poker face.
Natsu felt the familiar heartbeat behind him. He immediately turned around and wiped the blood on his lips. The same red haired girl from earlier was standing in front of him and there was a determined look on her face. Natsu hid his hand with the crimson mark with his other hand and he tried to greet her but she was faster.
"Don't use that magic again." She said with a serious voice. Natsu sensed the seriousness in her voice, he wasn't a diffident boy. He thought that how dare she could order him, it forced him to grit his teeth. When he was about to protest, he felt two arms wrapped around his body and a head resting on his cold chest. Natsu's eyes widened when he looked down.
Erza was hugging him.
"The heart zipping one, this magic is for killing."
"It's killing people and killing you. Your life is dependent on your magic" Erza said with an unexpected soft voice. Natsu couldn't understand her behavior, but he couldn't ignore the warmth on his chest. A warmth that only she can give him, a warmth that melted Natsu's fury in a second.
"Erza?" Natsu managed to say. The Scarlet haired girl pulled her head from his chest and looked up directly into his eyes. Brown eyes met with reds.
"Promise me Natsu. I don't want to lose you as well." She said. Natsu's look softened, there was no way to refuse her. He extended his hands to her and embraced her in a hug. He could be a stupid child but he wanted to stay like that forever. This singular moment he wanted to become frozen in time. This single moment to be held forever in his non-beating heart. For a moment he believed he may not be a monster. His greatest wish maybe for just a moment may be finally answered. He finally broke the tranquil silence.
"I will promise if you will promise me as well." He said with a huge grin. There was a huge pain in his hand but he forced himself to hide it from Erza. Erza sent a confused look to him.
"Promise?" Erza wondered aloud. Natsu was still grinning at her.
"Yep. Promise me, you won't cry again." Natsu said. Erza blinked several times and smiled. She was happy to hear those tactful words from Natsu. She began to stir and Natsu released her from his embrace.
"I promise." She replied. Natsu's grin grew wider and he replied too.
"Alright, I promise too then." He said. That was Natsu's first promise but he was confident to keep it, at least he was thinking that way in this tranquil moment. The future though is forever changing. Would his own free-will be able to change his own dark path in destiny?
'He is going to forget our promise isn't he…' Erza thought when she hung her head in defeat.
Soon, Erza noticed the crimson mark on Natsu's hand and took his hand in her own. She studied the mark, it took the shape of a two flame embers in the form of eyes that hang above a flaming sinister smirk formed from his own blood. A little drop of blood was dripping from the eyes as if crying. An odd addition to a boy who lost his sense of emotion. Erza turned her eyes to Natsu.
"What's that?" She asked her voice full of shock. Natsu looked at the mark before he replied.
"I passed my first bloodthirst. I guess it caused this, I don't know and I don't care really..." Natsu said with an unconcerned voice. Erza noticed his poker face, Natsu's logic was currently very simple and straight forward, protect Erza nothing else mattered. He couldn't understand or feel any other things properly.
Erza sighed in defeat. She didn't know what to do with this pink haired boy. She looked around and noticed the giant tower behind them. They were still on the damn island. Erza's serious face returned, she held Natsu's hand and dragged him to the beach.
A blue ocean appeared in view, Erza let him go and looked around searching for something. Soon, a light bulb appeared over her head and she turned to Natsu.
"Can you collect some fruits for us? We need to leave immediately." Erza said Natsu sent a grinned at her. Of course, he only understood half of the speech but there was no problem.
"Okay," He simply replied and nodded. Natsu made his way to trees and Erza turned around returning to her search.
There was an old boat near to the coast. She made her way there and began to study the boat. It was broken and cracked, as she tried to find a way to repair it. She focused her magic on one point and tried to re-quip something. After some practice, she managed to re-quip an ax. It was a heavy looking ax but Erza lifted it easily. She approached a palm tree and slashed the ax at it. This attack broke apart the tree and gave shape to wooden pieces.
Natsu was still nowhere to be seen and Erza was currently working on the boat. She had some trouble with seeing, her right eye was completely closed with a patch, despite this, she managed to repair the boat sufficiently. By the way, when Natsu appeared he was carrying a huge stack of fruit. The grin on his face was as huge as the stack.
"Yo Red Hair!" Natsu said and he made his way to Erza and waved to her causing the fruits to fall to the ground. Natsu chuckled and began to recollect the fruits from the ground. Erza facepalmed and helped him. After a few seconds, they finished that job and put the fruits in the boat. Natsu lied on the ground and crossed his legs.
"What a boring job." He snorted and closed his eyes. He was relaxed and carefree until something hit his head and woke him up. Natsu sat up and placed a hand on his head.
"It hurts, damn it!" He cursed and looked around at where the red-haired girl was standing in front of him with an annoyed face. The attacker was her, there was a shovel-like wood in her hand. Another one was laying next to Natsu. The pink haired boy glared at her.
"Why you-" Natsu tried to say but Erza cut his speech.
"We have no time for resting. We are leaving, take that shovel and come to the boat." She said with a serious voice. Natsu moved his head aside and tried to understand what she was trying to say and why she was angry. He looked back and noticed the giant tower there, he understood the situation a little and turned his face to Erza again.
'Great. Now I can't understand myself too. Why I can't get mad at her?' He thought and punched himself which goes unnoticed by Erza. He stood up and picked up the wood, he did exactly what Erza said. They pushed the boat to the water and Erza simply jumped into it. Natsu kept pushing for a while and finally got in the boat with Erza's help.
Erza began rowing and Natsu just watched her. She was stronger than she looked he mentally noted. Natsu leaned back and used his hands like a pillow. He crossed his legs and placed them over the edge of the boat. Erza didn't look at him, her eyes were locked with the fading figure of the Tower of Heaven. She couldn't help it, a single tear escaped from her eye and drifted on her sad face.
"It hurt, you idiot girl. Don't get upset when I am around, I can feel your heartbeats you know…" An annoyed sound was heard from the pink-haired boy. Erza blushed in anger and embarrassment. She blinked several times and suddenly wiped the tear on her face.
"Shut up…"
…
After several hours of traveling and eating,
They reached land, Erza and Natsu were exhausted and they were dying for a real meal. They threw themselves to the ground. They lied in this position for 10 minutes. Finally, Erza recovered herself first and stood up hardly. She walked to Natsu and extended a hand to him. Natsu held her hand and stood up begrudgingly.
Erza looked around and took note of the people around them. Some of them were fishing, some of them were chatting each other, some of them were selling something. Erza began to think about what they must do now and Natsu was looking around with a poker face. Erza turned her face to Natsu but found Natsu to be missing. She facepalmed and began to search for Natsu.
"Ossan! Can you give me a fish?" Natsu asked. The seller looked at him over the fish stand.
"Have you got any money, lil boy?" The old man replied with a question. Natsu smirked.
"Nope." He simply said. The old man's face changed in a second.
"Then, get the hell out of here!" He shouted with salivas scattering from his mouth. Natsu wiped the liquid from his poker face.
"Thanks for the bath Ossan. I will beat the crap out of you now." He said with a calm voice which made him more creepy. His red eyes glowed and he raised a fist but the punch never connected, instead he gained a punch on the back of his head and collapsed to the ground.
"Idiot." Erza Scarlet was standing next to him with an angry face. She sighed and bowed her head in apology.
"Excuse us." She said politely and dragged Natsu's lifeless body to somewhere else. Erza tossed him to the ground against a tree and tried to fight with her growing hunger. She sat next to Natsu and took her head between her hands. She thought about what they will do now but they were helpless. They needed money immediately.
When she was in deep thoughts Natsu opened his eyes and looked around with a pissed face.
"Where is that damn geezer!" He roared. Erza facepalmed and looked at him.
"Cut it Natsu. We need money for a meal." She explained. Natsu raised an eyebrow and took a deep breath. He sent a last look to Erza and sat down, he placed his back to a tree and relaxed again. Erza turned her gaze from him and looked at the sea, she wondered if it could take away her troubles.
Could her pains fade away with the setting sun? Could the roaring waves crashing against the dock break away her growing troubles? She wished they could. That was all it was though a wish, for the sun would always rise the next morning and the waves could only break so much.
Suddenly she heard a shouting sound and looked at the source of the voice. There were several men standing in front of the fish stand, probably bandits. Erza raised an eyebrow and watched them carefully while Natsu didn't bother busy playing with tree leaves.
"Can't you hear me, old man give me all of your money!" One of the bandits shouted but the old man didn't do what they were ordering. He stood still, trying to act brave. A bandit raised a fist and punched the old man, he couldn't block the attack. The attack connected forcing the old man to fall to his butt. Bandits burst into laughter and began to empty a money bag. The old man tried to stand up but he felt a cold metal next to his neck.
Yeah, a bandit was holding a sword in his hand. The old man couldn't do anything, he was helpless in this situation. After ten seconds the bandits finished their job and prepared to leave. The old man was still sitting on the floor with a scared face. The bandits sent a last look to him and stepped out.
"Wait!" A voice distracts them and they looked at the girl behind them. She is not anyone else other than Erza Scarlet. A bandit raised an eyebrow and looked at the scarlet haired girl.
"What do you want little girl?" He asked. Erza didn't change her expression, she was serious. A sword appeared on her hand in yellow lights. Her magic was not enough to scare them.
Requip!
"Give the money back!" She yelled. Thereupon, a small laugh escaped from the bandit's mouth. He turned around and looked at his friends, it caused them to burst into laughter. Natsu was still lying next to a tree, he heard the laughs and began to laugh with them. Strange guy, makes me wonder if there is something wrong with his head…
"HAHAHAHA" They laughed and laughed until they suddenly stopped. The same bandit sent an angry look directed towards Erza and took out his sword.
"Or what?" He asked with a mocking voice. Erza sighed and raised her sword, she sent a determined expression at him.
"Come on then." She invited. The bandit gritted his teeth and dashed to Erza with a battle roar. He slashed his sword but Erza blocked the attack with her sword. That force pushed Erza back. He launched another attack but Erza parried the attack again. The bandit stepped back in shock, Erza was stronger than she looked.
"Stop playing around Bill" The other bandits made their way to him and took out their swords. Natsu opened one of his eyes looked at the crowd. There were five men fighting with Erza.
Bandits made their way to Erza and stood next to their friend. Now Erza was standing in front of five men. They didn't wait, they attacked Erza with sword attacks. Erza blocked, parried and dodged the attacks but there were too many attacks and her right eye was completely useless. Another attack connected to her sword and that attack pushed her back. Weird, even one attack couldn't touch her.
'They are not weak' Erza thought and she gritted her teeth. She felt a dizziness and fell to her knee, she was too low on energy from having not eaten. A bandit smirked and ran to her, he raised his sword brought it to Erza quickly. Erza looked at the attack with wide eyes and tried to move aside. The bandit prepared to kill the girl but his arm stopped in the air like a statue. He gasped as he tried to move his arm but he failed. Seems we have our first victim.
He looked at the girl again and he noticed that she was shocked too. He moved his head a bit and noticed two glowing orbs looking at him. He stepped back with a frightened face but his arm was still there, so he couldn't move too far. Natsu was looking at him with a poker face but his red glowing eyes were making him look imposing over the frozen bandit, strangely his tattoo was glowing too.
"Monster." He said. His friends looked at each other and dashed at Erza with roars. Does no one learn or do they simply all wish for death?
Erza was still on her knees, she understood that this is Natsu's doing and she stood up for a new clash. She knocked the man out with her sword's hilt and sent a look to incoming bandits. She prepared for their attacks but something distracts her. A shadow came with the wind and attacked the bandits with a super fast attack.
Erza blinked several times as she watched the bandits falling to the ground one after another. She turned around to see if Natsu was still standing there or not. She noticed that Natsu was grinning and waving to her. So that wasn't him, she turned around again and saw a man standing in front of the unconsciousness bodies. He was in his 30's, in Japanese swordsman clothes and a straw hat. He had two swords attached to his belt.
"Here is your money Ossan." He said and tossed the money bag to the seller. The old man caught the bag slightly juggling it before he bowed his head to the man.
"Thank you so much." He thanked and he turned to Erza. He had a guilty face.
"And thank you, little girl, sorry for before. You can eat everything you want for free." He said with a smile. Erza's eyes wide opened in joy as she heard this. She turned to fish stand and noticed two people sitting on chairs. They were Natsu and the swordsman. Her sword disappeared in a yellow light which didn't go unnoticed by the strange man.
"Let's dig in!" They shouted in one voice and began to eat like wild animals. In a second they finished their meals and wiped their mouths with same moves. They extended their bowls to the seller with grins on their faces.
"Extra!" They shouted with one voice again. Natsu's eyebrow twitched and he turned his face to the swordsman. He grabbed the man's collar.
"Stop imitating me Ossan." He said. The swordsman looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
"You are the one who is imitating me." He replied with an annoyed face. Natsu sent an angry look like he was ready to attack him but Erza sat between them and pushed them back. She sent a serious look to Natsu.
"Stop acting like a fool Natsu, he helped us you know." She explained and turned her face from him. Natsu crossed his arms and waited with an annoyed face. Erza looked at the swordsman, his hair and short beard were brown while his eyes were blue. She stopped studying him and broke the silence.
"I am Erza Scarlet. Thanks for your help, Mr?" She said with a wondering look. The swordsman took off his straw hat and sent a kind look to Erza.
"Aisawa, my name is Aisawa little miss, it was no problem." He said with a soft voice. Erza smiled at him and took the meal bowl that seller just gave her. The old seller put another bowl of meal in front of the men. His money was secured and he was happy. Natsu finished his meal and took a deep breath.
"Ooh, I ate well." He said happily. Erza giggled at his behavior. Swordsman turned to the children.
"So you can use Sword Magic Erza-chan?" He said. Erza finished her meal and looked at her.
"Yes, I guess." She replied. "We were on a damn island for a long time, my power had awakened while there."
Aisawa raised an eyebrow in wonder. He wanted to learn more about them.
"What island and what happened to your eye?" He asked while he was pointing at her eyepatch. Erza sighed and began to tell their adventure. She told the story of when Natsu entered to when they escaped. Aisawa listened to them with a shocked expression. He felt upset for them and wanted to help them. He couldn't completely understand Natsu's situation. No one could, though.
Natsu listened too, he tried to remember what happened in these past days but he couldn't remember the most of the story. Whoever was in his head needs to stop erasing his memories.
Aisawa looked at the red-haired girl and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Come to my place. I will take care of you for a while." He said with a warm smile. Erza blinked several times and her brown eyes widened. Didn't anyone tell her to not trust strangers? Wait nevermind...
"Really?" She asked in joy. Aisawa chuckled and he nodded. The elder swordsman turned his face to Natsu. He couldn't understand the whole story about him but he understood that the pink-haired boy has experienced his own hardships in life.
"What about you, vampire boy?" He asked with a grin. Natsu sent a scary look at him.
"Huh?"
Natsu hadn't been listening to them, so he couldn't understand what he was trying to say and honestly he didn't care, he just didn't want to hear his annoying voice. Erza sensed the tension between them and tried to break it.
"Natsu, he will take care of us. It's great isn't it?" She asked with a smile. Thereupon, Natsu's angry face disappeared as she looked at Erza's hopeful beautiful chocolate orbs. He wanted to answer her properly but he didn't want to play a good boy when Aisawa was around.
"No problem. As long as you go, I will go as well." He replied with a bored face. Erza smiled and gave him a quick hug. It made Natsu relax a bit. Erza turned around and sent a happy look to Aisawa.
"Thank you Aisawa-san." She said. Aisawa replied her smile with another smile as he stood up.
"Don't mention it." He replied and he thought for a moment with a light bulb over his head.
"You must be 10 or 11 so I can teach you my sword techniques too." He suggested with a serious face. Erza's eyes widened again, she couldn't believe that he was such a good person. After the Tower of Heaven, this place appeared to her like a real heaven. Natsu sent a suspicious look to Aisawa, he was confident about not trusting anyone except Erza…
After experiencing her own hell in life she was experiencing now a form of heaven. The sun in this stage of her life was setting and with it her pains. Though the sun always rising tomorrow, but will tomorrow ever come?
…
The small group stood in front of a cottage. That was Aisawa's house, it wasn't big but it was not too small. They stopped for a second until Aisawa invited them to inside. Natsu and Erza stepped inside and the 11 years old girl looked around with curious eyes. They were two rooms a bathroom in the house, along with a kitchen in the hall. Several katana, swords hung on the wall. Erza felt excited, she couldn't name it but she felt a connection with herself and swords.
Natsu felt her fast heartbeat and looked at her, he could understand that she was happy from her heartbeat but he wanted to see her delighted face. That was his way in become happy, he wasn't at all interested in the house or the swords. He knew that he was not normal but he couldn't help but smile while looking at Erza's face. He was feeling more 'human' when she was around. His lifeless eyes were still looking at the red-haired girl, he was getting used to her.
Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and noticed Aisawa smiling at him. Natsu's eyes widened because he couldn't sense his heartbeat till the moment before he touched him.
"If you like her you must tell her." He suggested with a warm voice. Erza heard his voice and looked at them, she noticed that they were talking about her and she slightly blushed. Natsu slapped his hand away and sent an angry look to him. He couldn't understand what's going on with this guy.
"I don't like her… What? No, of course, I like her. Just shut up old man!" He replied with strange hand moves. Aisawa chuckled and patted Natsu on the head. Erza was confused and embarrassed but she didn't say anything.
'How could he hide his heartbeats?' Natsu asked to himself but his brain didn't answer to him. He wanted to go outside but he didn't want to leave Erza with 'that' guy. So he made his way down the hall and sat down next to a wall. Aisawa sighed in defeat, he was really a hard boy for him. Maybe he simply wants a cookie.
"Whatever, now relax and take a bath if you want. I will find some clothes for you." He said while he was scratching his hair. He pointed at Erza.
"You can't walk outside with torn and dirty wear." He said to her and pointed Natsu.
"And you can't walk outside naked…" He stated and Natsu took out his tongue and showed him. Aisawa and Erza facepalmed and elder swordsman left the hall.
…
Erza decided to take a shower, and after she turned to Natsu but she couldn't ask anything because Natsu was already asleep on the floor. Erza noticed that he was crawled on the ground like a cat and she smiled. The red haired girl took a blanket and made her way to him. She placed the blanket on him with a motherly look. She couldn't help but smile more at his peaceful face. He was at her side and that was relaxing her, she was getting used to him…
When her days were at their worst the sun shined at it's highest point, the color being a bright breathtaking yellow. Now when the sun was setting and her days were at their best the sun lost its golden luster. The previous breathtaking yellow was now a weak fading crimson red. This fading crimson though gave her a sense of security that the lustrous yellow never could.
Erza sent a last look to him and turned around, of course, she didn't think about the reason of his peaceful face. She thought that it was normal for a normal person but a peaceful face was unexpected from him.
The reason for his peaceful face was her. She was the reason for everything he does. She gave him a sense of warmth he had never felt in years and would give anything to protect it.
She made her way to the bathroom and finally entered inside, she closed the door behind her. The Little girl noticed a towel hung on the wall and mentally thanked Aisawa. She extended a hand to a towel and touched it. It was soft a feeling she hadn't felt for a long time. She looked around and noticed the bathtub, it was big enough to contain an adult person so it was a comfortable size for Erza to soak fully in.
Erza couldn't wait for a second, she put off her slave cloth and entered the tub. She opened the valve and warm water began to fill the tub. Erza laid on the cold stone but her body began to get warm in a second thanks to hot water. She still couldn't believe that they were out of that tower, but now in a relaxing water. She stretched her body and let the warm water rest on her body.
…
Aisawa was preparing dinner in the kitchen. He was in his white home clothes. He was worried about Natsu's situation because he had a really dangerous magic. Just one thing was relaxing him, his sensitivity about Erza. On another hand, it was making him more dangerous. He thought that he must teach him some other techniques, maybe it could decrease his usage of blood magic.
"But it will make him stronger, what must I do!" He yelled as he forcefully hit the knife on the vegetables. He looked at the door and checked weather that they heard him or not. Fortunately, no one heard him. He sighed and continued to cut the vegetables. A thought hit his head and made him smile, he was caring about them like they were his own children.
He finished his job and washed his hands. He waited for a moment and he made his way to other room with slow steps. He entered to room and noticed a blanket on the floor, he raised an eyebrow and tried to understand why it's there. After a while, the bathroom's door opened and Erza stepped out, she was wearing a white kimono. Her hair had been gathered in a ponytail.
She looked around and noticed Aisawa looking at her. She smiled and waved to him.
"Hi, Aisawa-san." She said. Aisawa sent his signature smile to her.
"Yo Erza. How was your bath?" He asked.
"That was great, I feel refreshed now." She replied in thanks. Aisawa's smile grew wider when he heard that, he looked around like he was searching for someone.
"Where is Natsu by the way?" He asked with a wondering face. Erza looked around but she couldn't see him as well. She made her way to outside world when she was shouting his name.
"Natsu?"
She stepped outside and looked around but there was no trace of him. She sighed in defeat but her defeat didn't last too long. A light bulb appeared over her head and she looked up to the roof. She noticed two legs on it, of course, they were Natsu's. She looked around and searched for a tool for climbing. Fortunately, there was a ladder next to the wall. She didn't wait for a second and walked to it. She checked the ladder's durability and began to climb.
She was on the roof now. Natsu was there, his hands were under his head like a pillow and his legs was crossed in a relaxing posture. Erza smiled and approached to him, her heartbeat was always in his range but looking at her was a different thing. Natsu turned his head from the sky and looked at her. As he saw her his eyes widened because she was looking so cute in these clothes.
"What are you doing here Natsu?" She asked. Natsu wanted to answer but he couldn't, his mouth was sealed by her beauty. He wanted to say a 'You look cute' but strangely no sound came out from his mouth. Her beauty was beyond the words Natsu knew, beyond what he could understand. He couldn't describe her perfection, her flawless scarlet hair contrasting with her pale complexion. But soon his eyes caught her eyepatch, as anger began to grow in his body, Erza wore an eyepatch for a long time but it didn't make him angry until now. A flaw, her single flaw. Didn't matter though she was still a scarlet fairy.
He forced a smile before he answered.
"Nothing, just watching the sky." He managed to answer with that strange smile. Again… something was happening to him, a strange feeling. He just wanted to sit and watch the sky but… but she is… Thoughts made his already wounded headache and he sat down and covered his head with his hands.
"What's wrong Natsu?" Erza asked with a worried look. Natsu hit his head with a punch and saved himself from thoughts but it only managed to increase Erza's worry. Natsu looked up to her eyes with a smirk on his face.
'I want to kill that guy over and over again!'
"Nothing Red Hair, just a headache." He replied before she could say anything he talked.
'The ones who wounded you!'
"By the way, we must take you to a doctor." He said with an innocent smile. Erza was confused about his behavior she couldn't understand it a bit. Natsu continued his speech.
'The ones who dared to lay a finger on you!'
"I better speak with the old man about finding a doctor." He said, he stood up and made his way to the ladder and left a confused girl behind. Natsu didn't turn around, just continued to walk. Aisawa was watching them from a tree carefully. Erza couldn't see Natsu's face but for Aisawa it was overt. His glowing red eyes and crazy smirk. A bloodthirsty monster was going to protect his Scarlet Fairy.
