I don't own fairy tail…

Enjoy!

"I'm sooooooo hungry!" Mika moaned and flopped on one of the beds dramatically with her stomach rumbling.

As good as his word, the guild master had invited Natsu's friends to stay with him for a few days, and had even offered to look after Villain as well. Natsu was grateful, obviously, but he felt like the old man had something to gain from his kind actions. And it didn't help that every time the dragon slayer glanced at him, the guild master was always looking at him, with a strange look in his eyes…

Still- he wasn't going to complain. They got a free room out of it!

"Shut up, Mika." Rinn said and looked out the window, muttering, "nice place."

There was a small silence, before:

"I'm reeeaaaaly huuuuungryyyyy!"

"Why don't we get some food?" Natsu suggested, standing up from his wall slouch. "Smells like they got some real good stuff in here!"

"Good point…" Haru said, "But will they here us?"

"We can be extra stealthy!" Mika cried, jumping into the idea. Natsu pulled his shirt up so it was covering his mouth and nose.

"Like ninjas…" he hissed and raised his hands in what could be called a ninja fighting stance at a stretch.

"Still…" Haru said, but he was smiling.

"This sounds like a great idea!" Myron cried, and pulled his shades on.

"Well, are we going then?" Yuki asked, standing up.

"I hope they have some crisps. I like crisps." Rinn said, turning away from the window.

"Ninjaaaaa…" Natsu whispered, creeping up behind them. Myron pounced at him and pushed him onto the floor. Soon they were play fighting, rolling around the ground, wrestling and causing a racket.

"Shhh! Ninjas are meant to be quiet!" Haru said and kicked Natsu lightly.

"Oh yeah!" Natsu said and sprang up, pushing Myron off him. He pulled his shirt to his face again. "Ninjaaaa…"

"This would make a better mask." Rinn said, and tossed him the slayer's jacket. Natsu pulled his shirt down, beaming, and caught the jacket. He wrapped it around his face so only his eyes and hair were showing.

"Ninjaaaaaa…" He hissed and started to creep around the room. Rinn rolled his eyes and Haru opened the door a crack.

"No one's there…" he whispered.

"Wouldn't it be more simple if we just asked?" Rinn asked.

"That would be too simple. And we won't be ninjas." Myron replied and wedged himself by Haru.

"We'd just be moody teens asking for food." Yuki added. "Let's go already!"

"Ninjaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…"

"Shut the fuck up!"

"Ninjaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…"

"Quiet!" Haru said and pulled the door open slowly to avoid creaking. Below them, a buzz of talking could be heard by the guild members.

"Go." He said and they slipped out of the door- Natsu was the last one, creeping around like how a ninja apparently would.

"I can smell something nice!" Mika whispered loudly and her stomach rumbled again. The group automatically sniffed the air and sighed.

"Smells like cake…" Yuki muttered.

"Yeah…" Rinn said.

"And strawberries…" Natsu added, forgetting to be a ninja.

"Your sense of smell is awesome!" Myron cried, before getting a whack around the head by Yuki.

"Shhh!" She whispered. Myron stuck his tongue out at her.

"Shhh!" He replied and Yuki folded her arms.

"Shhhh!"

"Shhhh!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Quiet!" Haru whispered as loud as he could. "Do you want cake?!"

"Yes." They replied, immediately stopping their contest.

"Come on!" Mika whispered loudly and crept over to the source of the sweet smell. She paused and her mouth hung open in shock.

"Whoa…" Haru muttered, looking inside. The kitchen they had entered had meals stacked everywhere: there was cakes and other desserts on one counter and in the other was things like rice with a variety of sauces and sandwiches packed with different fillings. Also, lucky for them, no one seemed to be in there because of the guild meeting happening below them.

"Aw yeah!" Natsu cried and ran into the room and looking around excitedly. The others followed him and began to run wildly around the kitchen, yelling in delight.

"Cake!" Mika cried out, pointing to a collection cakes on the top shelf. She tried to reach them- first by going on her tiptoes, then climbing on the counter- but she couldn't reach them.

"Who puts some strawberry cheesecake so high up?!" She cried out in frustration as Myron, who was the tallest there, tried reaching it by jumping up and down on the counter.

"Someone who likes strawberry cheesecake too much." Natsu replied, grinning.

"Can't reach!" Myron said and jumped down. "Fuck!"

"Now I really want to get that cheesecake for self worth." Rinn said. Natsu was suddenly inspired with a idea.

"Let me climb on your shoulders!" The dragon slayer ordered to Myron.

"Fuck yeah!" Myron replied and stood by the counter. "Climb up!" Natsu grinned and clambered his way onto his friends shoulders.

"Ready?!"

"Ready!"

Myron slowly walked over to the place where the cakes were hidden as his friends cheered them on. Wobbling dangerously, Natsu reached over to the treats and clasped his hands around them, grinning.

"Got them!" Natsu yelled but as he said it, Myron finally toppled over, causing him and Natsu to fall in a heap, caked landing on top comically.

And that's when the mages walked in.

"Fuck."

Myron had voiced everyone's thoughts.

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

"We were just hungry…" Mika explained as the guild master lead them down to the guild hall.

"You could've just asked me." The guild master replied and gestured them to go down the stairs. They obeyed as Mika muttered:

"They were nice cakes though. Worth it."

Just as the mages came in, Mika snatched the cakes off Natsu's head and started to eat them before they could take them off her.

"I wanted one too…" Haru muttered sadly. Natsu sniggered and automatically reached into his pocket to get some dog treats ready for when he reunited with Villain. He was surprised to find that there was nothing in there.

"Huh?" He said and dig around in his pockets more throughly, in case somehow he hadn't felt them before.

"What?" Haru asked.

"I forgot the dog treats…I must've left them in the room…" Rinn also overheard this, and asked the guild master.

"Hey! Could my friend go and get some dog treats…he left them in the room." Haru and Natsu looked at him and he shrugged his shoulders.

"He asked us to ask..." he explained, fiddling with his nail.

"Yes…sure he can." The guild master replied, raising a eyebrow. Natsu grinned at Rinn and charged back upstairs.

Eventually he got to the room again and, sure enough, the dog treats were lying on the bed innocently. The dragon slayer grabbed it then sat on the bed, twisting the treats in his hands.

"I swear I put you in my pocket…" muttered, "I remember putti-"

Natsu was cut off as a rough, large hand covered his mouth and nose. In his hand there was a rag which smelt of something strange…it was making Natsu feel oddly drowsy…

"Hello, my little dragon slayer…" a low, gruff voice whispered. Natsu turned around to face the intruder groggily and saw that he had long, green hair and black, cruel eyes. He knew this man…

Suddenly, memories came flooding back to Natsu in a rush. Memories of torture. Of kidnap. Of…

Natsu started to struggle wildly in his attacker's grasp but his limbs felt so heavy…his eyes were closing.

"Now, you didn't think you could escape me, could you?" His attacker whispered close to his ear as Natsu slowly fell unconscious, "did you really think that you jump off a cliff and just leave me forever?" The man stroked his free hand against Natsu's cheek. Natsu's head twitched, but then he became still, asleep in his abusers arms. His abuser smiled and stroked Natsu's hair, running his fingers though it slowly.

"You're going to wish you never left me…" he whispered and picked the unconscious dragon slayer up bridal style; he went to the unnoticed open window and slipped out of it quietly, shutting it after him.

There was no evidence that he, or Natsu Dragneel, were ever there.
