The dragon stared at the six mages and the two exceeds and licked its fangs. The mages tensed and prepared for a fight. Their eyes widened in awe as the dragons wings spread open. Its wings were a translucent black and the bones creating the wings looked as though they were made of crystal. The dragon's scales were a beautiful shade of onyx that reflected the light to a darker shade. The dragon stood up on its four legs and stretched each muscle rippling under the scales. The eyes of dragon are what caught the attention of mages. The deep pools of purple staring into their eyes. The mages prepared to attack but Blackie stopped them by flying into the dragon and hugging its snout. The dragon smiled then snorted.
"Is it just me or does Blackie know that dragon?" asked a shocked Gray
They all nodded and turned to look at Dragoneel who suddenly disappeared.
"That coward disappeared!" yelled Lisanna
Natsu looked around in panic for the dragon reared its head back as though it was preparing to attack. The mages prepared for battle but a laugh got them to stop. They turned to see their master sitting down laughing at them. He came around the dragon and sent the dragon an amused look. The dragon in return rolled its eyes and flew off somewhere. The master was still laughing his head off as the mages looked more and more confused. He shook his head and signaled for them to follow. The guild was unusually quiet as though the dragon had sucked all the rowdiness out of the guild. They were looking around in fear and concern while the master kept on laughing.
Everyone looked at him as though he lost his mind. The master hopped onto the bar and kept laughing. Mira gave him a concerned look and he just waved her off. Soon he was able to pull himself together and began speaking while trying to keep a straight face.
"Brats, that dragon was no threat to …"
"What do you mean not a threat?" yelled Gray "That dragon was about to attack use with whatever power it had and on top of that it even scared Dragoneel away."
"I have to agree with Gray had you not have come out when you did I free what it would have done to us." Calmly stated Erza
"Yeah!" the rest of the guild yelled
However at their response Makarov started laughing again. He fell over because he was laughing too hard. He soon started hitting the ground with his fist and laid there gasping for air because he laughed so hard. Finally he got back onto the bar and explained everything.
"I am going to explain who that dragon was and no one will interrupt me." He sent the entire guild a glare and then spoke. "The dragon was not a treat because the dragon was Moonlight. She got bored of her human form and decided to turn into a dragon to wait for Team Natsu and Dragoneel but all you thought she was threat and prepared to attack even though she was just rearing her head back to let out a sneeze because of Blackie's fur going into her nose." He was trying his hardest not to laugh his head off.
"Oh really." Lisanna sounded sarcastic
Makarov sent her a glare and turned his attention to Natsu. Natsu was no longer paying attention to them and was looking around for Dragoneel. His eyes were full of worry and concern. Makarov walked over to him and shook his head, then signaled for him to fall him up to his office. The rest of the guild watched in silence as the two disappeared into his office.
"Natsu about Dragoneel." Natsu's eyes looked expectant. "He decided to leave for a while to fix some things that have happened in the past seven years."
"How do you know this? Did he tell you? Why did he not tell me? Why?" Natsu started to panic because he was losing his twin again.
"No he did not tell me but I had a feeling he was going to." Makarov had a serious tone in his voice and his head went down in thought but it was interrupted by a loud roar.
Their heads jerked in the direction of the roar and quickly ran down to see what made that sound. The black dragon came back and this time she had Dragoneel on her back and he looked really annoyed. Blackie was on the top of her head and he was waving. Moonlight turned her head and picked up Dragoneel and placed him in front of the guild. She nudged him toward Natsu and sent a warning growl.
Dragoneel looked back at her and then looked back at Natsu and sighed. "Natsu…I…" He got cut off by Natsu hugging him but he moved out of the hug and shook his head. "Natsu I need to leave immediately."
"Why?" Natsu's voice nearly cracked
"I just…"
"The past is coming." Calmly stated Moonlight
"What past? Dragoneel?" Natsu looked confused and concerned
Dragoneel turned gaze to the ground and clinched his fist then relaxed them. He released a sigh and turned to leave. He walked past Moonlight and signaled for Blackie to follow. Blackie however didn't. He just stayed on Moonlight's head and stared at Happy.
"Dragoneel, I like it here. It's the first time we had a place to come back to. I don't want to leave it." Blackie reasoned and flew over to Happy facing the back of Dragoneel's head.
Dragoneel nodded and kept walking but a tail slamming in front of him made him stop. He turned around to see Moonlight looking at him with concern. Then he felt her tail wrap around him and pull him into her.
"Dragoneel don't you think it's time for you to start trusting others." Her voice was a whisper
He could only nod in response and Moonlight released a pleased growl. She gently set him down onto the ground and nudged him in the direction of the guild and his twin. Natsu latched onto to him and sent him the pout. Even though Dragoneel could see it was a way for Natsu to hid his unshed tears. Dragoneel sighed and nodded his head with a little smirk then bobbed Natsu on the head. Natsu then grabbed his head and sent his twin a playful glare. The rest of the guild began to cheer at their new member.
Lucy stood there smiling at the two but blushed when Dragoneel turned his gaze to her and grinned. She felt her heart beat increase and wondered why then when she heard Natsu call her name and have that same grin it doubled. She wondered why her heart was beating so fast for the twins. It never happened before with Natsu but when she thought that she was going to lose the two it pained her.
She knew she only met Dragoneel a couple of days ago and she had known Natsu for 14 years and yet she couldn't help but feel that the new emotions stirring inside her had something to do with the appearance of Dragoneel and his unknowing ability to win over the heart of others even though he is scary. She felt a hand get place don her shoulder and she jumped with a shriek. Quickly turning around she saw a naked Moonlight smiling at her and nodding her head.
Lucy in turn tilted her head but Moonlight held up her finger to her lips signaling her to be quite. Lucy nodded in understanding and had feeling Moonlight knew her dilemma but didn't get to ask when she heard a loud whistle and cat calls. She didn't need to turn around to know the guild ran out to see what was wrong she gave out that shriek.
"Moonlight did you have to transform back before I could find you new clothes to wear." Stated an irritated Dragoneel
"Maybe." Moonlight began to tease him her tail swinging back and forth in amusement.
Makarov smiled and slowly snaked his hand behind Moonlight and smacked her butt. She jumped in surprise and growled at Makarov who looked innocent but still had his hand on her butt. Dragoneel growled too and started fussing at Moonlight. Moonlight only laughed and took off running with Dragoneel hot on her tail. Lucy soon followed to prevent the town from getting destroyed because Dragoneel was radiating heat and melting the streets. Natsu followed soon after and eventually the entire guild was cahsig after the dragon and dragon slayer.
The chase lasted for two hours until Moonlight came to a stop in front of a clothing store. She got tackled by Dragoneel who tried to cover her up from the prying eyes of the male population in Magnolia. He reached his hand back for something and Blackie dropped a blanket in his hands and covered Moonlight up. Moonlight sent him an annoyed look and kicked him off of her, then walked into the clothing store to find something to wear.
"Is she always like that?" asked Natsu
"Yes."
"Oh man how will we handle her?"
"We don't the only thing we can do is let her do what she wants and pray it doesn't result in our demise."
Blackie nodded his head in agreement and flew over to the other exceeds. The rest of the guild shuddered at Dragoneel's explanation and Makarov paled considerably from thinking about all of the bills he will receive from the damage Moonlight will cause. Moonlight hearing their conservation giggled and came out wearing a dark purple dress that went to her knees but no shoes. The dress moved with little effort as she walked and seemed to flow behind her like cape or cloak. There was a hole in her dress for her tail. She walked over to Dragoneel and began messing with her hair.
"Oh right I nearly forgot." Moonlight stated matter of factly
"What was that?" Dragoneel asked dreading the answer
"This!" She pulled Dragoneel and Natsu into a bone crushing hug. Both boys reached out their hands and a signal for help but the guild shook their heads and held up their hands signaling they were on their own. Blackie quickly tried to fly away with Happy but Moonlight's tail wrapped around them and pulled them into a hug also. The four were soon losing consciousness but Moonlight held on tight. Fro she knew that she would most likely not be able to hold onto them like this again not when the past is coming to meet up with the future.
I tried to have some humor in this chapter but I don't think I did I good job of doing so. So please review and tell me what you think "the past" is or any suggestions as to how to make this story have more humor and not so much drama until "the past" shows up. Thank you for reading until the next chapter bye bye. :D
