Chapter six: Taking a trip
The next morning
Gray and Natsu awoke to an amazing smell. They got dressed and headed out to the living room. Mavis was lying on the green couch reading a book called "My Fairy Tail" by Lucy Heartphillia. Natsu grinned when he noticed the book and the cover image of their team in front of the guild hall building.
"I see Lucy finished her book" Natsu commented.
"Yep and it is one of the top ten best sellers in Fiore, she is currently working on a sequel to it but hasn't got any inspiration yet" Gray said.
"Hey mom, what's for breakfast" Natsu asked, Mavis pointed to the kitchen door without looking away from the book.
"Ask your dad, like always he is the one cooking, not me" she said. Natsu and Gray went into the kitchen to see Zeref at the stove cooking eggs, sausage, and rice. Zeref looked over and smiled.
"Good morning sleepy heads, glad you are finally up" Zeref greeted.
"Really, what time is it?" Gray asked.
"Almost noon" Zeref said. "Natsu, I looked and gray has all the ingredients for your morning fruit smoothie, make some for everyone please"
"Aye sir" Natsu said as he started to gather fruit for the beverage.
"Gray, make some toast" Zeref said and Gray started his task.
After breakfast Gray was still amazed.
"Who would have guessed that Zeref was a good cook, he almost cooks better than Mira" Gray said as they were heading to the guild.
"Dad and I do most the cooking because mom cant" Natsu said.
"Why" Gray asked.
"Her cooking is awful" Natsu said and Zeref nodded. Mavis hit both of them in the back of the head.
When they reached the guild Zeref and Mavis went to the request board to find a job. Gray and Natsu headed over to sit at a table with Lucy who was sitting with her Boyfriend, Loke, also known as Leo the Lion.
"Hey Natsu, glad to see you're alive" Loke said with a grin.
"Glad you finally settled for one girl" Natsu grinned back.
"At least I have a girlfriend, unlike somebody" Loke shot back.
"I was always cautious about finding love, after all dragon slayers only have one chance to find it. Besides who said I don't have someone" Natsu said and smirked at the shocked expression on the lion spirits face.
"Who is it?" Lucy asked.
"Honestly Lucy if you don't know by now then you will have to wait a few weeks to find out." Natsu sighed, he expected his own team to at least know who he would end up with, especially after the scene gray and him had when he returned.
They sat there and talked for a while. Erza came over with a slice of her favorite cake.
"Hey Erza, glad to see you are ok" Natsu greeted the Knight.
"And I'm glad to see you are still here and not just a dream" the Titania said "And congratulations on becoming an S-class mage" she then turned to Lucy "Lucy you are now the only member of our team other than the Exceeds that is not S-class."
"Wait, does that mean Wendy is S-class too?" Natsu asked and everyone nodded.
"She became strong over the years, she trained with Gajeel, Sting, Rouge, and me" Gray said. "She passed the trials last month"
"Last year Gajeel made S-class by completing the trials" Erza said
"And the year before that you guys returned to Tenrou for the trials." Natsu said and everyone looked at him shocked. "I was watching from a distance, that was the year Gray became S-class in the final trial where he beat Gajeel in a fight"
"How come we never noticed you?" Erza asked.
"I hid my magic's presence and hid in trees while I watched" Natsu said.
"Honestly I still don't see why you and your mom like to climb trees so much" Zeref said as he walked up.
"Hey dad, did you find a job? And trees are just fun to be in"
"Whatever, and yes we found a job, it's an investigation quest, something about weird things happening around Onibus. Mavis and I will be gone for about four days" Zeref said.
"Ok, good luck, oh Gray and I are going on a trip in two weeks." Natsu said.
"Both of you alone?" Erza asked with a knowing smirk, Lucy and Loke looked confused.
"Yes just the two of us" Natsu said
"Where are you two going?" Lucy asked
"That is a secret" Natsu said with a small smile and a sad look in his eyes.
"ok, we will see you when we get back" Zeref said then stared at Gray "and you better not hurt him while we are gone or during that trip" he said as a black aura surrounded him. He then turned and left the guild with Mavis.
"What did you tell him about me while you were gone?" Gray asked with a small squeak in his voice similar to how he gets when Erzas wrath is directed at him.
"Oh nothing much" Natsu said with a small smirk. Gray stared at Natsu wondering what the fire mage should have told the death mage to act like that towards him. Before he could ask more he was interrupted by a the new third generation Dragon slayers.
"Natsu-San!" A blonde teen came up with his black haired companion. Natsu looked at the two new arrivals and smiled.
"The two new third generation slayers, I've heard about you" Natsu greeted
"Natsu-San I'm so glad to finally meet you, I'm Sting Eucliffe, and this is my mate Rogue Cheney, he doesn't talk much" Sting introduced.
Sting was a spiky blonde haired teen with bright blue eyes. He looked to be around Wendy's age. He wore a white vest with a fur neckline, a blue undershirt and pants with a pair of sandles. His guild mark was white on his right shoulder. He had a scar above his left eyebrow.
Rogue had long black hair with his bangs swept over his left eye, his eyes were red. He wore black and gold robes and his guild mark is black and said to be on his left shoulder.
"Nice to meet you too, I'm Natsu Dragneel, but you already know about me. So tell me what type of dragon slayers you two are and who your dragon parents were"
"I'm the White dragon slayer, trained by Weisslogia the white dragon" Sting said happily.
"An Energy type like Laxus, glad to have you around" Natsu said.
"I'm the Shadow dragon slayer, trained by Skiadrum, the shadow dragon" Rogue said in a quiet voice.
"A dark type slayer" Natsu said then smiled, "we should fight sometime, I can take you both on"
"Yes, I cant wait to fight you!" sting cheered. Then he and Rogue sat at the table with them.
"Do you really think you can beat me?" Natsu asked amused.
"I will surpass you one day" sting said. At that both he and Natsu stood.
"Bring it, I'm all Fired up" Natsu said before he punched Sting and launched him across the guild hall into Elfman, who was then knocked over into Gajeel. Gajeel recovered and punched Elfman who was now sent into Laxus. Laxus, who saw the whole thing from the start, growled and gathered lightning to zap the beginner of the whole mess, Natsu. Natsu saw the attack coming and dodged before launching a crimson fire ball back at Laxus. Meanwhile Cobra, being bored, decided he would join in with a sneak punch to Gajeel who was fighting Elfman. Gajeel retaliated, knocking Cobra into Gray and Erza, and everyone froze. On the table Erza lay with her face smashed into her Strawberry Cheesecake.
"Gajeel, Cobra!" Erza growled with a dark aura around her as she stood.
"Yes" Gajeel and Cobra said with a small whimper. She didn't say anything as she walked over to Gajeel while dragging Cobra by his white coat... She then proceeded to punish them.
The rest of the day was fairly uneventful. Natsu and gray were now headed home alone since Zeref and Mavis went on a job. Zeref was going by an alias named Kurai Vermillion in order to stay hidden from the council for now.
They entered the house and headed to the kitchen to make dinner, spaghetti and meatballs, while they were cooking Gray decided to ask a question.
"So we're going on a trip?" Gray asked
"Yep"
"So where are we going?"
"A hidden place in the mountains near Oak Town. It's where I Grew up with Igneel" Natsu said. Gray froze at that and looked at Natsu in shock.
"You are actually taking me to the place Igneel raised you at?" Gray asked to be sure he heard correctly. Natsu never revealed to anyone any information about where he lived with the dragon. Now that Gray thought about it, none of the dragon slayers revealed to anyone where they were raised at. But now Natsu was not only sharing the information, he was going to take Gray there personally.
"Yeah" Natsu said and Gray hugged him tightly. "When I left there I promised myself I would only return when I found Igneel, or I found my mate. Since you are going to be my mate I thought we could do the ritual in the place that is almost as precious to me as Fairy Tail. Besides, it's the best place for privacy because it is hidden by a Dragon Barrier that only fire dragon magic can open."
"What if there happens to be another dragon?" Gray asked while he was putting the finishing touches on the food.
"Then we fight or talk to them, or we can just ignore them. I can set up a barrier if you want so no one can hear or see us." Natsu said as he set the table.
"How many others lived in the barrier?"
"Well there was Igneel of course, his mate Kazana and their hatch-ling Iggy." Natsu said as he started to remember everyone he knew in the barrier.
"Igneel had a mate and a kid!" Gray asked surprised to hear that, Natsu never said anything about the others.
"Yeah, Kazana was my mother figure, Iggy hatched from an egg two weeks after Igneel took me in so he is my little brother, they are both liquid fire dragons"
"Why didn't you ever mention them"
"No one really believed me about Igneel, why would I say there were more dragons when they wouldn't believe in one?"
"Good point, so who elts was there?" Gray asked, he was now so interested in learning more about Natsus home that he stopped eating his pasta.
"Well there was Igneels brother Atlas Flame and his daughter Vocanica who were both Hell flame dragons that were made entirely out of Hell flames. There was Igneels sister Hira, the pink flame dragon. The crimson twins Inferuno and Yogan who trained a set of twin slayers named Sin and Pride" Natsu said
"Sin and Pride?"
"Don't ask me, the Crimson Twins named them" Natsu said before continuing his list "Old Man Zu, his slayer Jigoku, they used Purple flames. Ms. Kasai, she used orange fire. And last but not least Mr. Scars, he was the oldest of the dragons living in the barrier, he was a green fire dragon."
"Mr. Scars?"
"Yeah, I don't know if that was his real name though. I ran into him one day by accident, all I noticed was he had a lot of scars so I said "hi Mr. Scars" he never complained about the name or told me his real name. I use to go to him when I had nothing to do and listen to stories about how he got those scars."
"well that's a lot of dragons in one place, how big is this place?" Gray asked.
"Well it technically is a separate dimension about the size of half of Fiore, the only entrance or exit are near Oak Town" Natsu said. "There are six dragon dimensions, one for each type of dragon. Fire, Water, Earth, Sky, Energy, and Dark. Those are the six types of dragons."
"So Gajeel, Wendy, Sting, and Rogue have been to their dimensions?"
"I don't know for sure i never asked them. The dimensions are to be kept secret from everyone that is not a dragon, a slayer, a slayers mate, or another type. Because of that, I do not even know where the entrances to the other dimensions are, I only know that they exist." Natsu said as they finished eating and got up to wash the dishes.
"The dragon world is so much more than I ever thought it could be, how could there be all of that and yet humans still believe dragons to be extinct." Gray said.
"That's also why I was upset when no one believed me when I said I was raised by a dragon." Natsu said.
They finished the dishes in quiet then got ready for bed. As they were laying there Gray got an idea.
"Hey Natsu" Gray said to get the fire mages attention. Natsu hummed to tell him to continue. "Can we go on a mission with the Team tomorrow? Its been Four years, lets take one for old times sake."
"That would be great, lets take a quick quest like stopping some bandits, or taking out a dark guild." Natsu said as he pumped his fist in the air in excitement. "but for now, lets sleep."
A/N
