I don't own fairy tail…

Enjoy!

Natsu stared up at the ice mage in annoyance and loathing, refusing to retreat his gaze. The ice mage stared back, equally as stubborn, but his face held a different expression altogether; more of uncertainty and pity. This made Natsu angrier and resumed trying to scrape the ice off his legs.

"It won't come off." The ice mage said unhelpfully, and the dragon slayer rolled his eyes and carried on.

"Please don't kill me scary lady…" Mika pleaded from behind him, assumably to the knight girl- she was pretty scary, come to think of it…unnaturally so…

Natsu stopped scraping the ice for a few seconds and looked at his hands; they were covered in small, deep scratches which stung every time he moved any of his fingers and would bleed whenever this happened. The dragon slayer looked down at the ice imprisoning him and was shocked to find that none of it had broken off. Wait…

A minuscule ice chip crumbled off the side of the block, and melted on impact with the ground.

Well, almost none had came off.

"I told you so." The ice mage said unhelpfully and Natsu rolled his eyes.

"Should we take them to the guild?" A female voice said from behind him and there was a loud curse from Myron.

"Yes. Maybe…it will help him…" Another, more authoritative voice replied strongly. Natsu immediately grew curious at the mysterious 'he'. Was it some old sick man that had a kink for young guys/girls?

Well, you never know.

Natsu smiled at his thought and made a mental note to tell Rinn his idea- he would turn it into a dramatic horror story with defenceless, unknowing teens…

By defenceless teens he was referring to the mages.

"Get up." The ice mage ordered from above him; Natsu, being as stubborn as he was, ignored him and proceeded to sit on the (slightly frozen) grass.

"Yes, my dude!" Myron cried, laughing at his friend's action. He was about to say something else but was cut short because the blue cat started to lift him off the ground a couple of inches.

"Hey, what the?!" The green haired teen yelled and tried to struggle but it was no use- he just looked like a fish at the end of a fishing line.

"Get off me, bitch." Yuki growled from his side as Lucy tried to help her up as the ice fell from her legs. She got up by herself, and stood facing away from the guild member with her arms crossed.

"Get up, Flame-brain!" He cried out and Natsu felt like the nickname was familiar somehow. But why?

Still, he refused to get up and crossed his arms like Yuki would. The ice mage sighed and growled at the same time in frustration.

"Fine! I'll have to get you up then…" Before Natsu registered what the mage just said, he was hoisted up upwards by the arms.

-#!-#!-#!-#!

THWACK.

Gray stumbled backwards and felt a sharp pain on his jawbone. He looked over at Natsu, shocked for the sudden, uncharacteristic behaviour that just occurred.

The dragon slayer was breathing quickly and was staring sat Gray with wide eyes; his fist was still raised from when he punched him and Gray couldn't understand why he looked so panicked.

"Are you alright?" Lucy asked him from somewhere to his right. Gray nodded and gingerly rose a hand to his jaw which he could already feel bruising. It was a pretty hard punch.

"I'm fine…" he muttered and walked back over to Natsu, who had now calmed down slightly.

"I can see a bruise!" The blonde girl cried out happily as he turned his head.

"That's gonna hurt in the morning." The raven haired teen added unhelpfully.

"Why did you do that?" Gray demanded, slightly hurt- yes, Natsu had amnesia, but still that wasn't just forgetting things…

Natsu gave a unreadable expression and then folded his arms mutely.

"Fine. I'll lead you instead." Gray said and stood behind the dragon slayer. "Move." Gray knew it sounded rude, but he was acting angry to hide his hurt when Natsu punched him; it was so uncharacteristic of him, Gray wondered if there was something that happened to cause such odd behaviour. It had been nine months since Gray had last seen him…what could've happened in those nine months? Had Natsu just hing around with his new friends, or was his memory hiding something else? Gray recalled he got punched as soon as he tried to pick Natsu up; maybe, just maybe…something had happened…but what?

"Let's go, Gray." Erza said as she pushed two teens in front of her. "I'll walk at the back and you two walk at the front, to make sure they don't run."

Gray and Lucy nodded and took up their assigned positions.

"I feel like a celebrity." The blonde girl said as they began to walk towards the guild.

"I feel like a criminal." The raven-haired said bluntly.

"Same." The ginger girl said back to him.

"Where are we going, anyway? What's your guild's name?" The green haired teen asked them from the air.

"We are going to our guild, Fairy tail." Erza replied.

"Fairy tail?!" One of the teens cried out, "what kind of name is that?!" And they all laughed, much to Erza's annoyance.

"Guilds have lots of strange names." A boy in glasses said after the laughter had died down. "I know there's one called Sabertooth…there's one called Mermaid heel (I think)…"

"Mermaid heel!"

"Sabertooth!"

They burst out laughing again. Erza growled.

"QUIET!" She yelled and the teens were all shocked into silence.

"Sorry, ma'am!" The green haired boy said from above.

"Why are we even getting taken to your guild anyway?" One of them asked after a while, when Erza had cooled down. They were getting close to Fairy tail now; they were entering the bustled streets of Magnolia.

"I don't think you realise this, but were vandalising a house." Lucy said to them.

"So why are you taking ya to a guild? Surely a police station would make sense." The boy with the black rimmed glasses asked.

"Are you going to murder us?" The raven haired asked suddenly. "Because this is starting to feel like one of the horror movies I've watched. It's about a group of teen that follow these strangers because they think that they can help them get home because they don't have money for a cab, and then-"

"I don't wanna hear it!" The blonde girl cried out, "horror movies gives me the willies!"

"I never knew you didn't like them." Another one said.

"I said silence!" Erza cried out and they fell silent again. Gray and Lucy nodded at her gratefully- the constant talking was getting on their nerves.

They were causing some attention now, as they walked through the town square. People were actually stopping to watch them go past but that was probably because the unlikely scene in front of them wasn't seen everyday. Gray, Happy, Erza and Lucy were fully aware of this and were trying to get to the guild as quick as possible, but it was hard as their 'prisoners' were walking at a snail's pace purposefully.

Almost all of them.

Natsu was walking slowly, not because he was being stubborn, but because he was looking at everything around him with wide eyes which read: I recognise this place.

Happy watched his friend from above (after dropping the teen he was carrying) and grew hopeful again, certain that Natsu would remember him again soon.

"We're here." Lucy said after a few more minutes to no one in particular as they stood in front of a large building with a familiar emblem on the front.

Something flashed through Natsu's memory when he saw that emblem and he had a strange feeling of comfort inside of him.

Could this place be the key to his memories?

And why, why did he have that symbol on his upper arm?

Or, did.

Last time Natsu had checked, the mysterious symbol on his arm had almost faded away.

Still…
