Well necessary disclaimer out of the way.

Natsu strolled through a forest. Casually ignoring the aura imminent death emanating from his unwilling passenger.

Said passenger glared at him, "Put me down or I will stab you."

Natsu couldn't help but snort at that," If your that unhappy about it you would've done it hours ago. Some way to thank me after I found you, especially when you tried to choke down the whole ocean." Glancing at her he asked," What happened to you anyway?"

Her response was to avert her eyes and look away from him. A sombre expression replacing fierce visage.

Sighing he said," If you're going to clam up on me at least tell me your name." Seeing no change he gleefully added," Or I'm going to stick with Armoured Pervert."

That got her to look back at him fiercely."Put me down and I will tell you."

Rolling his eyes Natsu nonetheless did as she said. By shoving her off his shoulder. Unfortunately for him she didn't land in a crumpled heap. Instead she corrected herself and landed on all four limbs. Crouched and glaring up at him she asked, "why?"

Natsu folded his arms around his chest and answered," You were annoying me. What did you expect, you haven't even told me your name yet."

"You threw me over your shoulder." she stated, standing up. As if that sentence explained everything he wanted to know.

Bewilderment overtook growing frustration in Natsu." What does that have to do with anything?"

Shrinking in on herself a small amount. She muttered," It makes me uncomfortable."

Rubbing his face the dragonslayer decided," Fine I won't carry you anymore. You can be an independent pervert, happy?"

At the word "pervert" the barefoot girl stiffened momentarily, then turned around and started storming away.

Alarmed and confused, but mostly confused Natsu yelled after her," Where are you going? That's the wrong way!"

Smoke literally pouring off him in frustration he gave chase.

Ah Natsu you manage to speak directly to someone's heart and win them over, and then push every button they have. On a side note, who needs shoes when you are ERZA SCARLET.

I originally planned on making a massive chapter. Now I have this tiny thing. oh well.
