I'm sorry it's been so long!
I don't own fairy tail
Enjoy!
Natsu leaned on the wall casually outside the small shop, waiting for some kind of signal. This time, he had been chosen to stand guard with Villain for some company.
The dragon slayer scratched the dog's ear fondly. He closed his eyes, relaxing in the peaceful silence.
"Hey! Fuck you dude! Zap! We gotta do a runner!"
Well, Natsu thought straightening up quickly and clapping his hands to gain the dog's attention, that didn't last long.
Myron suddenly burst out the glass doors, chucking something back behind him. There was a surprised yell, then Haru came tumbling out with his glasses screw, but otherwise happy.
"Love the locals, don't you?" He said, grinning. Natsu laughed and pulled Villain to his feet.
"We better run." Myron said and dramatically pulled off his shades.
"Stop! Thieves!" Somebody called inside the building and the group took it as their queue to make a run for it. Villain barked and joined them, just as a angry looking shopkeeper burst out of the doors of the store.
"Stop!" She yelled and pointed to Haru.
"Come and catch us, cock face!" Myron yelled back at her, laughing. Haru gasped and ran faster.
"Language!" He scolded. Natsu laughed at their antics as he dodged bins and confused pedestrians. He turned a corner and Yuki suddenly appeared at his side.
"I heard a yell." She stated and ran with them before they could ask questions.
"Aw. You do care." Natsu said and received a playful whack around the head. He grinned.
"What did you- turn left- manage to get?" Yuki asked, interrupting herself to tell the route to Mika and Rinn.
"I got some cereal." Myron said proudly, "and I had a carton of milk but I threw it at that shitty store keepers head. I missed, unfortunately."
The group slowed down into a walk, realising no one was in hot pursue of them anymore.
"Idiot." Yuki panted, "But I would've done the same."
"I did you proud then." Myron said and scratched his dog's ears whilst saying, "who's a stupid doggie?"
Haru wiped his brow, sighing in relief.
"That shopkeeper had hold of me for a second or two." He said and wrinkled his nose. "She had definitely had a drink or two last night- She reeked of it."
"Worst two seconds of your life, then?" Natsu asked. Haru shrugged.
"It comes just after smashing that motorbike I stole."
"Hey guys!"
Mika came bounding up to them like a excited puppy. She looked at her friends up and down.
"Ya had to run, didn't ya? Ha!" She said and snatched Haru's bag off him. She unzipped it and began to search.
"Ya only got some crackers?!" She asked appalled.
"And cereal." Haru added, pointing to Myron; Myron shook his bag encouragingly. Mika smiled.
"Ya are forgiven." She said, bowing jokingly, "now you shall die."
Rinn came strolling into their view with his hands in his pockets and a small smile on his face.
"I'm glad it wasn't my turn." He said and tickled Villain under the chin; the dog briefly wagged his tail and then lay down, exhausted.
"Poor dog." Natsu stated, "I feel like this is animal cruelty."
-#!-#!-#!
Master Mokarov sighed and leaned back in his chair sadly. Lately, he hadn't been himself- it felt like, since Natsu had gone missing, that some part of him had disappeared.
He sighed again and looked out the window beside him, wondering where the dragon slayer was at the moment; that is, if he was alive.
"Can't think like that." Mokarov muttered, disgusted with himself.
"Master! Master!"
Mokarov turned around just as the door slammed open, revealing Gajeel and Wendy- the female dragon slayer was concealing something behind her back.
"What is it?" Mokarov asked, sensing something was important.
"Me and Wendy went on a mission a few days ago…" Gajeel explained and Wendy took over.
"And when we were tracking someone.." she pulled the mysterious object from behind her back. Mokarov gasped and walked over to it.
It was Natsu's scarf.
He picked up the item of clothing and stroked it carefully in his hands. It was a little battered, but otherwise intact.
"We tried to track his sent, but we lost it because of all the water." Wendy finished, upset.
"You did your best, Wendy. You too, Gajeel." Mokarov said, "You must tell the others in the guild. I will go and find Gray, Ersa, Lucy and Happy." Determinedly, Wendy and Gajeel nodded and ran out the door.
A few seconds later, cheers could be heard from miles around, coming from inside the guild walls.
