Natsu walked into his living room smiling as he walked with gajeel who seemed to be happy about something the two were talking about and natsu was too busy talking to the male that he didn't notice what was going on in front of him until he felt someone jump into his arms as they buried their face in his chest. Nashie began to cry as the masked man yanked her away from her fathers arms and threw her back onto the floor where her mother was, the men were after natsu and his family for having their boss/leader locked up three weeks ago. Never did natsu imagine in a million years that his family would be held captive in front of him and their was nothing he and gajeel could do but watch as they were lined up but what made it worse was that levy and mikan were also lined up on their knee's as they looked at gajeel with tear filled eyes.

Gajeel wanted to jump one of the men that had their pistol pointed at levy's head but their was nothing the male could do because he knew if he tried to take them all on he would be killed almost immediately along with his family. Natsu wanted to fall to his knee's and cry knowing their was no way out of the mess that he had dragged his family into along with gajeel who was ordered to get on his knee's as the pink haired male was also put onto his knee's. "what it is it that you all want? Money? Take anything you want! Just leave my and my family and my friends family alone!" natsu pleaded as one of the masked men walked over to lucy who was looking away as she tried to hide her tear filled face from the men that were eyeing her.

"look at this little whore" the masked man laughed as he grabbed the woman by her hair and yanked her closer to him as he smiled at her "maybe we should keep her and screw her til she forgets everything along with the family she had" the masked man laughed as lucy began to cry as she shook her had and looked at natsu who was now gritting his teeth as he began to eye every single masked man in the room but he knew that he couldn't take on all fourteen that he had counted.

"don't touch my family...don't touch my friends family..It's me that you're after" natsu looked down at the ground as the leader of the small group walked over to where he was at and knelt down in front of him as he pointed his pistol at his head and chuckled "so I take it that you're the reason why our boss was locked up?" the masked man laughed as natsu nodded and looked him in the eyes as he frowned making the male frown as he cocked his gun at lucy.

Natsu eyes widened when he saw where the gun was pointed at "DON'T!" natsu yelled at the top of his lungs as the male smirked and cocked the gun back at him making he clench his fists and looked the masked man in the eyes "If you want to kill someone kill me but leave my family along with the rest alone!" natsu's heart dropped when he saw the male turn back around and point the gun at mikan and then at nashie who began to tremble as the began to quietly cry into their hands as they looked away.

"don't worry we'll let you choose who it is that gets to go first" the masked man smiled as he pointed at mikan and nashie who began to cry harder as they watched natsu look down then back up as he shook his head and looked at mikan then at gajeel who's eyes widened "mikan..i'm so sorry" the masked man pulled the trigger and a split second later right after the loud blast the only thing that made a sound was natsu's body landing on the ground as he twitched and coughed up some blood.

"I may be made but theirs no way that you're going to get away by picking you're friends daughter over yours" the masked man spat down on natsu's body as a small pool of blood began to form around him. The last thing natsu saw was lucy and nashie crying while gajeel stood over him looking shocked while mikan and levy hugged each other and did their best to not look at natsu who was now looking a the ceiling.

"I love...you..both.." natsu smiled as lucy and nashie began to cry louder as the male closed his eyes for the last time..natsu was dead...

ooOoo the fairy tail guild infirmary

Natsu sat upright in the infirmary bed as he began to gasp for air while clenching the bed sheets while sweat covered his face "what the hell happened?...was that all a dream..." natsu looked around and could tell the it was dark in the room and at first he thought it was the hospital that he was in but without the weird looking floor and windows. Lighting the room up with flame that he made with his hand the teen looked around too see where he was at but their was something on his lap and it was really warm and soft. Looking down natsu eyes widened as he realized the warm and soft thing on his lap was lucy's head as he snored silently making the male smile as he pat the girl on the head gently as he looked around then down at his friends hand.

"so this is the real world..thats the fairy tail guild mark.." natsu rubbed lucy symbol as he tried to do his best to see if the mark was actually real or not but with all the effort he put into rubbing the symbol on the girls hand he woke her up. Lucy eyes widened as she smiled and lunged into the males arms as tears began to roll down her cheeks "natsu! you're awake! Its been so long I..I..I thought that you'd never wake up!" lucy continued to cry as she continued to hug the male as he smiled and returned the hug that he was getting.

Natsu was confused as to why lucy was crying and he didn't understand what she meant about never waking up again, looking down at the blonde, natsu smiled and pat her on the back gently as she continued to cry and then tremble "lucy what happened? Why are we in the fairy tail guild infirmary?" natsu looked into the blondes eyes he pulled her away from him. Lucy shook her head as she looked down at the floor broads as a tear fell from her chin and landed onto the cold floor, the burst open, erza and levy along with most of the guild was happy and in tears when they saw that the pink haired teen was awake again "natsu is awake master!" lisanna yelled happily as she jumped into the males arms and pulled him into a hug as erza and mirajane along with cana both came between the two and created a group hug.

Makarov ran into the room and looked at natsu as his jaw dropped to the floor as he walked up to the male and gave him a long hug as tears flew down his cheeks as he hugged the youngster "its good to have you back natsu...we were sure that you would never wake up..even now I don't know how you're even awake.." makarov continued to cry as he hugged the little boy that he had been taking care of ever since he had entered the guild.

"what is it that you guys are talking about? What do you mean you didn't think I'd ever wake up again?" natsu looked at everyone witha confused look on his face as they all looked down at the ground or turned their faces away as some looked at lucy who had the most guiltiest face as she looked at natsu while tears rolled down her cheeks. "natsu, you were protecting me from acnologia on tenrou island..and he tried to attack me but you blocked his attack before he was able to lay a finger on me...he knocked you out and then tried to kill you.." lucy broke out into a loud cry as her friends hugged her and tried to do their best to console her.

Erza walked up to natsu and pulled him into a hug as a tear rolled down her cheek "natsu you've been asleep for more over four years.." erza looked into natsu's eyes as he stayed quiet while staring out into space, not knowing what to do natsu feel down to his knee's "four years?...I've been asleep for four years.." natsu looked at lucy and got up as he forced a small smile and walked over to the blond as she began to back away from him but before she could say anything she felt something warm wrap around her then bring her into a hug.

"as long as I was hurt protecting you their really is not point in feeling bad..I'm sure that I did what I did so you would stay safe..their really is nothing that I would want more than to keep you safe lucy.." natsu smiled and hugged the girl as she began to cry harder as she looked at natsu and hugged him back wrapping her arms around him. Erza and lisanna along with the rest of the guild members smiled as they watched the two partners be reunited once again "natsu its been too long..and if you don't mind do you think we can go out on one job?" lucy looked into natsu's eyes as she sniffled.

Natsu smiled as he looked at everyone in the room then back at the blonde that he was holding in arms as a small smile crept up on his face "yeah..I'd..I'd really like that" natsu smiled as lucy buried her face in his shirt and continued to cry quietly as everyone smiled at the two and began to clap for the return of the dragon slayer.

ooOoo later

Natsu snored quietly on the infirmary bed and after having his blood checked along with his vitals the teens were able to rest easy knowing that their friend was ok and grandeeney was also shocked that natsu was awake after being confident in her readings when she had done her best to help and heal the male but after months of treatment she became sure of herself that natsu was never going to wake up but now that the male was awake she had nothing else to do but make sure that he was getting back on his feet.

Four years sleeping in a bed had really taken its toll on the teen seeing how he was using most of his strength to even stand up, lucy, she had helped natsu back to his bed when he began to wobble and stumble a little when everyone decided to leave the two alone. Lucy knew that natsu was going to have to go into rehabilitation for walking now that he was awake and dragon slayer or not he was still the same as everyone and even though he had been in a coma for four years his legs were now soft and he hadn't used his legs for a long time so walking would now be a little challenging for him but the blonde knew that she would be able to help the pink haired teen out.

"natsu you really did out do yourself that day...and even though you didn't have to protect me..you still did...like you always do.." a tear rolled down lucy's cheek and landed on the fire mages palm as he continued to sleep but lucy was still by his side. Lucy had been by natsu's side since the day that he was put into the coma by acnologia and their was not much that natsu was able to do when he was unconscious and lucy needed someone to console everyday whenever she refused to leave natsu's side.

"natsu..I know that I've said this so many times to you while you've been asleep but...I wish I could tell you face to face that...that I really do love you.." lucy smiled as she leaned over and planted a kiss on the males cheek, natsu smiled as he continued to fake snore as lucy got up and walked out of the infirmary happy..that was something she hadn't been in so long..and natsu..was now happier than he had ever been since he had heard everything that the blonde had said "so lucy..loves me in this world too?" natsu smiled and rolled onto his side as he began to fall asleep "I can't help but feel the same way for her...I'll make sure that she knows I love her too.." natsu smiled and fell asleep happily and began to snore silently as someone standing in the doorway smiled and closed the door.

Lisanna smiled and walked away from the infirmary while holding one picture of her and natsu together when they were little and after all the time that had passed by she had returned from edolas after being able to find out on how to return along with wendy and happy along with carla who found out about edolas at the same time when lisanna had returned and even though they ended up taking the entire guild on chase into the new world they had freed the place and came back in one piece after fightinng the evil makarov in the world along side the edolas copies of their guild members.

"I'm glad natsu is back..but it looks like someone already beat me to the punch.." lisanna smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek as she continued to walk out of the guild and to fairy hills where she was still staying at after she had returned four years ago. The white haired brunette had seen lucy leave happily and overheard what she had said about her loving natsu but the brunette knew that natsu loved lucy back and for the blonde to be by his side for four years that meant something and she knew she didn't have the heart to take natsu away from lucy and she knew that natsu would still reject her for lucy.

Lisanna was a kind girl and even though she loved natsu she knew that she was not meant for the teen and she didn't want to destroy lucy's true love for the pink haired teen, knowing she was doing the right thing, lisanna walked into her room and closed the door behind her as she walked over to her bed and plopped down on her. The lights lit up revealing mirajane who was sitting on the couch that was inside of the brunette's room "you did the right thing sis..don't worry you'll find someone else..I can assure you that" mirajane wrapped her arms around her siste as she began to cry loudly as mirajane rubbed her back feeling bad for her sister now that she knew that she wasn't meant for natsu..at least not anymore...but she knew that she had done the right thing leaving natsu in the infirmary instead of telling him how she felt for him.

ooOoo fairy tails infirmary

Natsu rolled around as he tried to get comfortable in the bed that he was laying in and even though he wanted to leave the room he knew that he couldn't but he had something on his mind and that was the dream that he had when he was asleep and even though it had taken him a long to wake up the dream had felt like nothing for him but he swore he had lived an entire life out in his head until the day when he and gajeel walked into the living room of the pink haired teens house only to see that their family had been held hostage and then in the end the teen himself died which was what had brought him out of the dream that had made him sweat so much when lucy was sleeping his lap.

"I swear that I did have a life in that dream and I was married..to lucy..and I had a daughter.." natsu stared at the ceiling as he began to relive the moments in his head when he and nashie were laughing and running around in the backyard of their home but what was weird was that natsu had taken the fact that he didn't have magical powers in that life and it seemed to be nice for him to be living a normal life without magic.

"maybe I will tell lucy about the way I feel about her..that lucy in my dream was no where near different from this lucy" natsu smiled as he turned back onto his side and yawned, looking at the wall, natsu smiled and began to drift back of to sleep but what was making him smile was the fact that in the dream he had was that he was with lucy..he smiled and fell asleep clutching a picture close to him as he slept. Natsu held a picture of him with the rest of the guild but what was making him smile was that he had been carrying lucy on his shoulders when he and the rest of the guild had taken the photo...

Lucy was at home in her bed as she smiled while hugging something close to her..it was a photo of her and natsu hugging each other while smiling at the camera..
