Chapter Four: My Child and Color of your eyes
"None of this is making any sense." Erza told the others. The red head, and everyone else for that matter, couldn't for the life of them figure out why the pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer would make a song like the "Burn" one they just listened too.
At first, the red haired woman thought the song might have been towards Jellal, as she remembered how Natsu admitting his hatred for the blue haired man a month ago the last time they went through this whole music thing. But when she thought about it more, the lyrics didn't seem to match up. The "Burn" song seemed more like about someone who had betrayed Natsu, rather then someone doing terrible to someone Natsu knew.
"You think we don't know that?" Gajeel replied back to the red head, as the Iron Dragon Slayer was getting fed up with these questions since he knows that they don't have an answer to any of them.
"Maybe Natsu just made the song for fun?" Wabaka suggested. The man would like to think that the pink haired male just makes these kind of songs for the sake of fun, and not some meaning behind him. It hurts his head way less when thought about it like that.
"Yeah, maybe Natsu was just goofing around when he made the song." Macao had the same idea as he agreed with his fellow pervert.
"No, there had to be a reason for Natsu to make a song about something like that." Mira threw in her two cents on the subject. The white haired woman didn't believe that Natsu would make a song like that just for fun. There must be a meaning behind it.
"Even if there was some hidden reason for him to make that song, how should we even know what it is? It's not like we were supposed to be doing this all over again." Laxus stated, as he wanted this discussion to end. The Lighting Dragon Slayer knows that they won't figure anything out by scratching there heads like a bunch of monkeys if they kept this up.
"We could just ask him when he gets back." Freed suggested to Laxus and the others, thinking that would be the smartest idea.
"And let Fire head know that we went through his music again? No thank you." Gray responded, as he was still against this whole thing, no matter how much he enjoyed listening to these songs despite the fact his hot headed rival made them.
"Gray, he's going to find out regardless. I know he will." Lucy told him, as the blonde is convinced that Natsu will end up finding out about this one way or another.
"No he won't," Happy spoke up, "If we put them away and stay quiet about it, then he won't find out." The blue Exceed explained to them. He didn't want Natsu to get angry from this if he were to find out, so Happy just figured that they just put the bag away and never speak of this again.
Cause to the Exceed that was the easy way out.
"Maybe we should just play something else to get our mind off of this." Kinana suggested, getting everyone to look at the purple haired woman.
"Good idea Kinana," Makarov replied to the barmaid, "You can go pick one yourself if you want." The small old man suggested to her.
"Oh… uh… okay." Kinana, not expecting her to be the next one to pick a song out, spoke back to the Guild Master with a nod.
With that, the purple haired woman then walked over to the bag of music disk to pick a song, hopefully one that wouldn't get them to ask more questions. Everyone else simply remained silent as they waited for the barmaid to pick on.
"Let's see… no not that one… not that one- oh?" Kinana's interest went up as she found a disk labeled "My Child". She didn't know what it would be about, but hopefully something that wasn't too confusing.
But they would be wrong really shortly.
"I guess this one would do." She stated as she walked over to the radio. Everyone else continued to look on as the purple haired barmaid put in the disk and hit the play button.
Everyone waited for music to start playing. But instead of music, they heard… a baby crying?
"Wait what?" Everyone questioned at once, before hearing a heartbeat being heard in the background of the crying infant.
But then, without warning, the crying and heartbeat ended, as rock music suddenly played out of nowhere. This got most of them to jump in surprised by the sudden music. It didn't take long for the lyrics to be heard by them all.
Tore it up again, I couldn't stop again
Letting go till there was nothing in the way
Fought the feeling then, I cave in again
Sweet surrender to the angel I deny
When you came to life I was terrified
I knew that nothing else would ever feel the same
Doubt came over me, what kind of father would I be?
Another time I could stand up and be a man
To change a face in my life
(To change a face in my life)
Your future and mine
(Your future and mine)
Time to do what is right
(what is right)
A new beginning
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Were you redeem my child?
Everyone was shocked by what they heard. What was this song about? It seemed to be like that of a dad loosing a child. They kept quiet as they listened more of the lyrics to in hope to find an answer.
No serenity within agony
Every day brings on
A hundred ways to fight
Constant scrutiny
I can feel you judging me
Resurrecting every demon that's inside
The priest was horrified
You struggled for the life
That one desire was the dream I sought for yours
Creeps cripple me, the reaper cheated me
Left me early for the path I'd come to adore
To change a face in my life
Your future and mine
Time to do what is right
(what is right)
A new beginning
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Were you redeem my child?
No one in the guild understood why Natsu made a song like this. It appeared to be about a father loosing a kid from a miscarriage? Or did the child die from something else? This did little to stop some of them from getting emotional.
My child
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Were you redeem my child?
I pray you were redeem my child
After that, the song ended with a heart monitor going flat in the background for a few seconds. But then that ended, leaving total silence in the guild hall once again, something that seems to happen a lot when it comes to this.
"Why… why did Natsu…?" Lisanna didn't understand it. Why would Natsu make a song like this? It was heart wrenching. The idea of someone loosing a child to some unknown cause, either before or after them being born, that was something the white haired woman didn't know how anyone could go through that.
Bisca and Alzack merely looked at one another before looking at Asuka, who thankfully didn't understand the seriousness of the lyrics and just thought it sounded cool. The little girl was their everything. The green haired woman and the black haired man couldn't even fathom the idea of loosing her in some way. That was something no one should be forced to go through.
"L-Let's pick out a more cheerful song." Mira suggested, trying to calm herself down from the rather sad and emotional song.
No one objected, mainly as they tried to process the song themselves. The white haired woman then made her way to the bag of music CDs before quickly trying to pick a song that hopefully wouldn't be too depressing or terrifying.
Her eyes widened with hope as she found a CD titled "Color of your eyes". Her love for romance got her to accept this one to play next. There's no way a song named like that could be depressing in any way…
Right?
Mira didn't care as she quickly made her way to the radio in order to play the song. Everyone else managed to notice her already about to put in another CD.
"Don't worry, this song sounds way more cheerful!" Mira exclaimed happily, glad that she picked a song that wasn't sad like the last one.
But she would soon find out that she would be wrong.
The white haired barmaid then went on to hit the play button of the radio, before quickly making her way back to the others so they could listen to the next song.
A piano was immediately heard, getting Mira and the others to hope that this would be a happy, and in Mira's case, romantic song, that will lift everyone back up from the sad mood.
However their hopes were dashed as the lyrics were heard.
Had we made another decision
Gone through our thoughts not lost our vision
Care for another life, not only seen our own
A new life could have grown
We never stopped to think
Never had time to feel
It should just disappear
If I said I never think about you, I would lie
It kills me to never know
Never know the color
The color of your eyes
Everyone's eyes widen as they listened to the lyrics of the song. The mood went back to its sadden atmosphere. What drove Natsu to make songs like this one? They didn't understand why the pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer would make something like this.
The lyrics were heard once more before they could continue their thoughs.
Thoughts of who you would be
Would you look like your ma or me
A fathers proud only child
Kids coming back to me
In my black mind
If I said I never think about you, I would lie
It kills me to never know
Never know the color
The color of your eyes
Imagining the pain of one loosing their own child, none of them could understand how anyone could deal with that. Those who were already parents had their eyes watering a little. Macao looked over to where Romeo was at, and couldn't imagine a world without his son if something had happened to prevent him from ever being brought to this world.
Can't find the reason why
No matter how I try
It is killing me
Can't find the reason why
No matter how I try
It is killing me
At this point many of then, mainly the girls, couldn't help but shed tears as the emotions they were getting from the song got to them. It didn't help with how Natsu himself sounded as he sang this; it was full of emotion which did little to calm them down.
If I said I never think about you, I would
I would lie
If I said I never think about you, I would lie
It kills me to never know
Never know the color
The color of your eyes
If I said I never think about you, I would lie
It kills me to never know the color of your eyes
And like that, the song ended, leaving everyone in the building quiet. Not a single word was muttered.
One couldn't really blame them though.
Well… uh… that happened. Guess this was a bit more of a serious chapter. Hmm…
…Anyway, see you all next time then, whenever that will be. Hopefully it will be more cheerful for the guild's sake, heh.
