Chapter 7
Respects to Simon
Hello faithful, glad to see your all still with me. If you've been around since the beginning thanks, if you're new all I can say is welcome. I'm sorry I haven't been able to update in a while. It's just my classes are a little harder this year. My Spanish 3 Honors teacher is completely vague with her lessons. Besides that all my other classes have been cake. For all you out there that enjoys both of my stories or just my writing in general. Check out my original story on and just author check my account. I use the same username. So if you like it review it or if you don't still review it anyway. Okay on with the story you all have been waiting on for a while. Again I apologize and here it is. Next chapter Edolas!
It had been several days since Jellal and Hoteye were both taken to prison by the magic council. Right now our favorite Scarlet haired mage was in deep depression. She had just gotten her childhood friend back and now had him ripped away from her again, the only difference was that this time she didn't want him gone. She wanted Jellal to be around to see her relationship with Natsu grow and eventually progress to marriage she hoped.
Erza was on her bed wearing her armor, but found that it didn't have much effect.
"Erza I know it hurts, but at least you can see the guy. I wished I could see Igneel again, but I can't. Not just yet at least." Natsu said gripping his pack filled with food and clothes.
During their trip at Banksia Erza had promised to help Natsu go search for Igneel together. Natsu was no fool though. He could tell the woman he felt deep feelings for was in pain. Sure Igneel was Natsu's foster father, but Erza was here right now and Natsu didn't want to lose her.
"Natsu I'm sorry, it just hurts that's all." Natsu could remember this easily what this reminded him of when Sho, Milliana, and Wally all left.
Natsu clutched the strap of his pack feeling rage towards Jellal. Even when he tried to do good that bastard still causes pain towards his love. Natsu could regrettably remember when Jellal made Erza cry.
The memory played in his head how Simon put himself in front of Altairis so that neither Erza nor Natsu be hit. He was so brave and courageous. Natsu could tell even being an idiot that he loved Erza just as much as he did.
"I still can't believe after a whole month that Wendy was able to resurrect his body. I thought that after that much time that there wouldn't be much left of the body." Natsu said baffled at the fact.
"Wait we've only been together a whole month! That means…" Erza paused remembering Simon's act of bravery.
"You were so kind…I loved you." Those were the last words that Simon said to Erza before he died.
"That means Simon died only a month ago…I haven't made any plans for a grave or anything! What kind of person am I?!" Erza cried into her hands.
Erza heard the sound of a pack dropping and then before she could look up her Dragon came and embraced her.
"Erza before Simon died he left you in my hands. I am your protector and your lover. I won't stand here and see you cry again... it was painful enough seeing it once. The reason you haven't made any plans was because of your first Nakama leaving, then Laxus attacking, then you were finally able to act like a girl and express the feeling of love that you had to repress it in fear that your armor wouldn't protect you and after that was Nirvana and Oracion Seis." Natsu explained to his love.
"Erza and I have been so busy with each other. It makes sense that you didn't have any time. It wasn't your fault Erza. So please don't cry. It kills me to see you cry."
Erza felt touched that Natsu would comfort her to this degree. Sure he was there for her when Sho and the others left, but now she just realized that she never once grieved for Simon.
"Natsu I thank you. I'm so lucky I feel in love with a caring dragon like you." Erza said returning the embrace.
"And I'm so lucky I found the courage to confess that I loved you too. You may be a monster like me, but your one hell of a beautiful monster." That earned Natsu a punch in the stomach knocking him out.
Erza giggled at how different Natsu was like when he was out. Sure she might have hit a little too hard, but it was nice to see him all quiet like this, she just wished he could do this while he was awake. Erza she falling asleep and decided to give in to sleeps powerful spell.
Morning came showing the suns bright rays through the window hitting Natsu's eyes telling him it was time to wake up. Natsu wasn't one to give in so easily so he turned over groaning, but he eventually gave in and got up.
Natsu looked back at the sleeping Scarlet haired angel on the bed. The memory of Erza crying about Simon came crashing back to him. Natsu clutched his fist in anger. He made a promise and was hardly following through with it.
"Damn." Natsu whispered so he wouldn't wake up the adorable girl in front of him.
Natsu knew it was up to him to bring the woman he loved comfort. He would make a grave for Simon. He already knew how to make one. He already made on for Lisanna so how hard could it be to make one for Simon. Then one problem that struck him would be what to write on it. Natsu didn't know that much about Simon, the only people he thought that might know about Simon would be Erza's old Nakama.
Natsu decided to leave and head to the guild. Before leaving he left a note and breakfast in bed for Erza and his large camping bag that would also be a great substitute for a back pack. The note explained that he had gone to the guild so she wouldn't worry about him. As Natsu was pondering as to where the cat lover and the blocky guy and Sho would be. Natsu remember during the Fantasia parade that he saw them, but he thought he just got lost in the beauty of the parade.
As Natsu was walking at the corner of his eye he saw tanned skin and blonde hair that looked way to familiar. He looked across the water way and saw Sho there was no mistaking it, that person was the man he was looking for.
"Oi Sho!" Natsu yelled leaping across the river bank and dismounted in front of the card user mage.
"Natsu-san? How did you find me?" Sho asked with curiosity.
"Are you kidding, you stick out like a sore thumb also since you and your Nakama mean so much to Erza I couldn't forget you, the cat lover, and the blocky guy." Natsu said cheerfully.
Sho deadpanned at the irony Natsu just displayed.
"Their names are Milliana and Rob." Sho pointed out to the Dragon Slayer.
"Whatever look I want you to tell me everything you know about Simon. I mean some deep things about him. Erza is feeling bad about not making a grave for him and I want to be the one to do it for her." Natsu said.
"Well…Simon was a really good person, if Milliana or Rob or I were in trouble he would take the hits Jellal would lash out at us. He was a really courageous person. Simon loved all his Nakama like Nee-san. He would do anything to protect them even if it meant death." Natsu stopped and paused about what Sho told him.
Natsu remembered how selfless he was truly and inspiration to Natsu. He would be a greater man than anyone else when it came to morals and his Nakama.
"Thanks Sho. That really helped me." Natsu said waving goodbye and heading to the guild.
As Natsu went through the doors of his home Fairy Tail. Erza wasn't there so this is fantastic.
"Natsu where is Erza? Did you have a fight or something?" Mira the Demon of Fairy Tail asked.
"Wha-no, Erza just didn't feel like waking up. Look I just need to find Juvia."
"Juvia is here Salamander." The Buxom water mage called sitting next to her beloved Ice Mage lover.
Natsu saw the rain girl waving her hand to him and went over to where they were sitting.
"What do you want candle stick?" Gray said wrapping his arm around Juvia's waist which sent the blue haired water mage into rapture.
"Cool it Ice Pick I need Juvia for a something."
"What does Natsu-san need Juvia for?"
"Natsu-san?!" Gray shouted in shock.
"I need your water magic Juvia, I'm making something and I need someone to cool down the metals or coble stone or any other material that will be hot." Natsu explained to the attractive water mage.
Juvia crossed her arms under her large breasts pondering whether to do this for Natsu, he had embarrassed her Gray-sama, but on the other hand he had made it possible for her to see Gray's lower body with all of Fairy Tail's brawls and got them together.
"Very well, Juvia will help Natsu. It will be a good chance to show that even Juvia's water can tame the fire of a dragon." Juvia said putting her hands to her side.
"Now you're using it so causally!" Gray pointed out once again.
"Thank you Juvia you have no idea how much this means!" Natsu said with his child-like smile for joy.
Gray let out a sigh that he wouldn't have his girlfriend for a while.
"Alright fine, just make sure you come over to my place by dinner I'm making your favorite." Gray said not realizing he had accidently stripped himself.
"Gray clothes again…for the third time today."
"Damn it why did Ul's training do this to me?!" Gray said scrambling for his clothes.
Macoa and the other older members of their beloved guild all busted out laugh partially drunk and laughing at Gray's hubris.
"Juvia loves how Gray strips without know and she will be back to have your great sausage!" Juvia said with hearts in her eyes.
Several men did spit takes while other nearly choked on their beer at Juvia loving Gray's 'Sausage'.
"Gray how could you defile Juvia you two just got together less than a week ago and you're doing such shameless acts." Lucy said trying to erase the image that was made in her head.
"Gray how could you do that to such an innocent and sexy girl, please teach me." Master Makarov begged the young Make wizard.
The rest of the guild simply called Gray a 'Pervert' which sent the young ice mage into a deep depression. Then Gray felt the need to explain.
"It isn't what you think! I made a chili with sausage in it and Juvia loved it. It wasn't that I would never force her into that!" Gray admitted for his innocence.
The guild stood in silence and carried on what they were doing thinking that Gray was lying.
"Liar" They said in unison.
Gray just went on with getting his clothes back on while Juvia kept on looking at Gray with such lust and wanting. Natsu getting impatient grabbed Juvia by the back of her blue heavy jacket and dragged her while she kept her 'heart eyes' on Gray. Later on Natsu went to the coast looking out to an island in the distance.
At the Pier
"Natsu-san what is there?"
"I heard a rumor about a man in the east that made something called 'stainless steel' its steel that won't rust. I want to make the grave into a statue of Simon out of it. I can get the iron from Gajeel, but I need another element that comes from here." Natsu said looking out to the distant island.
Juvia was impressed, she had heard of that rumor but disregarded it. She wasn't impressed that he had heard the same rumor but that he was able to remember it all and say big words. Juvia thought that Natsu was only violent, but Natsu had another side to him when he needed to be serious not just an idiot wanting a serious fight. Natsu Dragneel truly was a reliable Nakama.
"How are we getting there?" Juvia asked.
"…We're swimming!" Natsu cried out with a competitive yet idiotic tone.
Juvia deadpanned and realized that maybe Natsu was just an idiot after all.
So the two swam to the distant island with only Juvia being winded while the Dragon of the Apocalypse Fire remained ready for more action not being tired from their long distance swim.
"How can you be tired you're a water mage aren't you?" Natsu asked shaking the salt water off.
"Of course Juvia is a water mage, but even Juvia has Juvia's limits!" Juvia protested oddly in the third person repeatedly.
"Rest here I don't need you until a little later. I'll be back in a few hours." Natsu said slinging his pack over his shoulder.
The island Natsu was on was large to say the least. The feeling of sand under his sandals, the sea salt air that went through his spikey hair was so familiar to when Igneel took care of him when he was learning to use his fire for other uses besides fighting. Natsu could remember how he learned to make glass from using his fire.
The island itself was mainly like a Jungle on the middle of the island and near the coast. The coast itself was just a beach. You could say the island was very tropical. What was odd was that there was a mine at the very center of the island. That is where Natsu would get the element he needs. He remembered what it was called. 'Chromium' was what it was called the way to make it stainless was to cook it at a certain air pressure. Natsu figured he could ask Wendy he could help him with that.
Natsu walked around the jungle feeling the sun's heat go through the leaves, but it didn't bother him in the least. It actually felt relaxing to Natsu. Things still went through Natsu's head, he wondered if Erza was okay or if Igneel was alright. Those two and the guild were all Natsu had and cared about along with all the members within the guild. After walking while thinking Natsu went to an open mine.
Natsu's face opened up in a happy smile and raced for the open mine knowing there was some Chromium there. Natsu wandered inside the mine looking for the metal known as Chromium. Natsu looked for a metal that looked like tin foil, but sturdy as rock at the same time. Eventually his looking was rewarded and he found the metal he was looking for.
"Finally got you, you bastard." Natsu said attempting to rip the stone out of the ground.
This stone was hard to get out. It was heavy, bulky, and rough on his hands. But with a small spark of the Apocalypse Fire's power Natsu go enough into his backpack. And by enough it was sticking out of his bag. The stone itself was a jagged long rock ripe for the forge.
Natsu got the large stone in his back pack of adventure which fit surprisingly well and made his way back to the water mage Juvia. Juvia was sitting on a stone looking at storm clouds in the distance.
"Natsu why do you think that rain cloud look so gloomy, but at the same time they are important?" Juvia asked.
The young buxom mage was curious about maybe trusting Natsu more and becoming better Nakama.
"Hm…well I think clouds look gloomy is because they can't see the sky. It pays that noble and great sacrifice by giving the land crops and food. The rain is only lonely because it has nobody to share with, but people who enjoy the rain." Natsu said with a surprisingly mature outlook.
Juvia was stunned that Natsu gave a similar reaction to what Gray told her after they had fought when she was still part of Phantom Lord. Juvia could even remember the time Gray had accidentally touched her breast when he froze her which made Juvia blush and mutter nonsense.
"Um…Juvia I'm going to Magnolia with this thing." Natsu said patting the giant rock on his back but before Natsu left he put a letter to Juvia telling her where to go in a while.
Juvia was too busy with squirming about her ultimate Gray fantasy to even notice the giant rock and Natsu leaving. When Natsu got back to land he went to the nearest blacksmith and asked for his smelter. After melting the giant rock is Natsu and encased it in a giant rectangle that was facing upwards in a standing position.
"Remind me again why you needed my smelter?" The elderly man with an Eye patch said.
"It was to melt that thing I had. I told you I would pay for its use." Natsu said turning around to face the old hermit man. "Just watch it for me and I'll be right back with two people to treat the metal so you don't have to raise a finger."
The old man let out a large sigh and turned over as he was lying down facing Natsu who he was now showing his back too him now.
"Natsu-san!" A familiar voice shouted from the distance.
The two men looked behind them and saw Juvia running in her winter coat. The old man sat up and seeing the lovely water mage.
"Well hello sweetie!" The old pervert said aloud.
"Hush it Ji Ji she is one of the people I need for this project. Just get the knife when I get back. Also this girl already has a girlfriend from Fairy Tail." Natsu informed the man.
The old blacksmith groaned and flipped over to face his back to Natsu again and groaned something about all the sexy girls being in guilds.
"Juvia I want you to cool the steel after its done being pressurized. I'm going to get Wendy to make the air pressure low enough for you to cool it to make it stainless." Natsu explained.
The old man got up and went to go get a beer while Natsu ran off to find Wendy not that far from where Natsu was. She was wearing the same outfit she wore during the whole Nirvana incident.
"Wendy! I need you for a moment." Natsu said picking up the young air Dragon Slayer.
"Uh! What is it Natsu-san?!" Wendy asked flustered with her face becoming red from fear of someone looking up here dress.
"Oh sorry." Natsu said setting the little girl down. "Wanna help me for something for Erza?"
Natsu bent down to look at Wendy at eye level with a cheeky smile. Wendy knew all the rumors about Salamander and how destructive he could be. Even that little glimpse of the Apocalypse fire still gave her chills. But the way Natsu was smiling at her made her worry disappear as if that smile was trust enough to make all her worries disappear.
"Okay, I really want to help Erza-san." Wendy said in high spirits.
In a flash Natsu was back at the blacksmith's shop with Wendy.
"So you want me to use my Tenryū no Hōkō (Sky Dragon's Roar) with low pressure to make it into something else?" Wendy asked not sure of her ability.
"Please Wendy, I know you can do it, you're a Dragon Slayer. Don't forget the pride and the power that comes with that title." Natsu said ruffling Wendy's pretty blue hair.
"I-I'll try Natsu-san." Wendy timidly said walking towards the container containing hot liquid metal.
"Juvia contain it in water." Natsu said grabbing the sides of the container with his hands while heating it with his hands.
"Tenryū no Hōkō!" Wendy roared in an acute storm tunnel of tearing wind.
"RAAAAUGH!" Natsu yelled setting his hands ablaze cooking the metal.
Juvia incased it for several seconds before Natsu yelled to stop. Everyone retracted their attacks and Natsu tore open the walls to the container to a somewhat solid yet liquid substance that only needed to be given shape and then sunk into water once more.
"Here's the knife just don't cut yourself with it." The blacksmith said handing Natsu the blade facing the blacksmith and the handle facing Natsu.
"Thank, I'll make sure to be done soon. I've got too." Natsu said looking at the liquid metal ready to be carved like a pumpkin.
"Natsu-san Juvia and Wendy will be going now." Juvia informed Natsu in yet again the third person.
"That's fine, just please come back in a few hours while I give this some shape." Natsu said carving the torso.
The rectangle was a lot taller than Natsu so he would have to be careful with carving the face. Natsu was no fool though even if he acted like it most of the time. Natsu could remember what Simon looked like clearly. Beside Natsu may be a destruction prone, but he was artistic when he had to be. Natsu raised the carving knife and began to shape his master piece even faster.
With Erza
Natsu had left early leaving Erza all alone and she was feeling depressed. Erza wasn't even sure if Strawberry cake couldn't help her. Now she was in the guild with her armor on being sad at the bar. To her rescue was the blonde celestial wizard Lucy Heartfillia. The young blonde was in her orange tank top and blue skirt and brown sandals with her trusty keys with her.
Now Lucy had already taken the Scorpio, Gemini
"Erza what's the matter? You look like you just failed a job or something." Lucy said concerned for her friend.
"Nothing I just haven't seen Natsu at all today and it's already past noon. I wanted to make him lunch to get my mind off Jellal." Erza confessed with a depressed sigh.
"Well where is he?" Lucy said tilting her head to the side wondering how many scenarios she could come up with.
"I don't know he just left a note saying he would be gone for most of the day." Erza explained.
Lucy feeling bad for her friend took a seat next to her.
"Tell you what why don't I ask Mira for some of your favorite Strawberry Cheese cake and I'll pay for it." Lucy offered generously.
Erza picked her head up slightly almost not believing that Lucy would comfort her like this. Normally Lucy would be afraid of Erza.
"Isn't your rent due in a week?" Erza asked the kind blonde.
"I don't mind. Besides Natsu might act like a baka, but he is a good person. He wouldn't leave you alone like this for any reason." Lucy reassured the powerful knight.
Erza lightened up and slammed her hand on the table.
"Mira I want three cakes on the double!" Erza ordered to her older rival.
"Alright coming up Erza." Mira said in her sweet cheering voice and signature smile. "That will be twenty thousand per cake."
Lucy stood there dumb struck at the price which left her breathless and made her fall face first on the counter.
"60,000 jewels…that's almost my rent right there…" Lucy said in despair. "Erza do you mind if I ask Natsu to come with me on a high paying mission so I can get enough rent money?"
Erza's enourmous plates of cake came to her which she looked at with gleaming eyes of interest.
"Yeah, you'll need the money." Erza said biting into her first slice of cake.
However even those delicious cakes were delightful to Erza, she couldn't help but worry about the Dragon she cared for so much that she would throw away her life defending him. Even at times he was insuperable or big headed or foolish…she still loved him for his love for his Nakama and their guild.
But that night … Natsu didn't come home he was gone for the entire day.
With Natsu
Natsu had fallen asleep from the exhausting work he had done. Carrying the metal he needed from the island to the blacksmith and working on it was much more straining then he had first imagined.
Natsu had fallen asleep around mid-night leaving the lower body of Simon undetailed. However Natsu was having an off dream about Igneel. Normally Natsu would dream with Igneel being in the medow he was raised in with Igneel but this time it was taking place in a volcano like area of ash, magma, and lava with the roars of many Dragons being heard throughout the hellish land.
"Igneel!" A loud booming voice roared.
Natsu had never heard such a loud and intimidating voice before except for when Igneel yelled at Natsu. Natsu ran out to see what was yelling so loudly.
Eventually Natsu saw two real dragons…one was a shade of red Natsu knew too well. A red similar to his love Erza, one of the Dragons was Igneel his foster father. The other one was a black shelled Dragon that had a luster of and iron color.
It was obvious that, that dragon was Metalicana.
"Oi! Are you Metalicana?! Igneel!" Natsu yelled out to the dragons.
"How could you lie to your son?! You didn't learn from Acnologia!" Metalicana roared to the red dragon.
Natsu stopped in his tracks not being able to comprehend what he just heard. Igneel didn't learn from Acnologia? Then how did Igneel learn the Apocalypse fire? Natsu looked at his hands wondering what magic he has been using or what it was.
"I may have stood by and watched as my fellow Kin were killed, but I learned the secret to the Apocalypse by watching him in action. By learning how to us it I learned to defeat it with its own magic. I'm not strong enough, but Natsu will be. I know it." Igneel said confidently to the Iron Dragon.
"Your overconfidence in that boy will be his demise." Metalicana said turning his back to Igneel.
"Say what you want, I have the most faith in my son. He has strength that I've never seen before with courage to match. He can defeat Acnologia and the one that created him." Igneel said.
"Your gamble is too risky! He will die!" Metalicana said inhaling breath.
"Have faith in my son like I do in him!" Igneel said breathing in fire.
Natsu knew how territorial a Dragon could be and he took cover as soon as he saw Metalicana take a breath.
"You'll regret your arrogance Igneel! Tetsuryū no(Iron Dragon's)…" The magic of Iron began circling around the mouth of the Iron Dragon.
"Karyū no(Fire Dragon's)…" Fire spiraled around Igneel's snout as he breathed in magic for a blazing roar.
Natsu knew this spell all too well and no matter where he hid the attack would be hard to evade. It was a Roar…Natsu was too close to dodge it in any way.
"Hōkō(Roar)!"
The two blasts impacted and Natsu woke up in a cold sweat. Natsu's hand was over his heart which was beating very hard. Natsu looked up to his half-finished Simon statue. Luckily Natsu still could carve more. So Natsu did and finished the lower half of Simon and was able to make the words
'Here lies Simon the bravest and most noble man.' In rather nice hand writing for Natsu the Dragon Slayer. Then again all those lessons Erza beat into Natsu as children served him well. Luckily Juvia spent the night and was ready for action.
"Now Natsu-san?"
"Yes, in case it in water so it can cool and become solid." Natsu said fixing his messy hair with heat in between his fingers.
"Water Nebula!" Juvia yelled trapping the hot statue in cold water making it hiss loudly until it finally settled as cold wet metal, there was no worries of it rusting because it was stainless steel.
Natsu stood in front of his master piece in satisfaction. Every single detail of the Grave Statue was perfect. The helmet was perfect. Simon's eyes may have been empty, but they showed the soul that he had that he shared with all. The body and clothes Simon had were flawless.
Suddenly the young Sky Dragon Slayer came back to see Natsu.
"Natsu-san the church agreed and will let you put the statue there today." Wendy announced cheerfully.
Wendy looked at the statue and gasped in horror not believing that is what Simon looked like.
"That's what Simon looked like? What happened to him?" Wendy asked.
"Erza told me once that Simon was in an accident when she was a slave in the tower of heaven and Simon never got the proper treatment he could. I'm just hoping that Erza will like it." Natsu said grabbing the bottom of his hand made grave.
"Erza-san would love it. You have an artistic talent for sculpting Natsu-san." Juvia complemented.
Natsu was grunting at how heavy this thing was. Natsu was actually struggling and tilting to the right and left.
"Come on Natsu-san you're doing this for Erza. Remember your drive and the reason you made that heavy item." Juiva said trying to motivate the Dragon Slayer. Then Natsu put the statue over his head with one hand like nothing with his right arm which showed his guild mark on his shoulder.
"I'm all fired up for you Erza." Natsu said carrying it like that the entire way to the church.
All the people of Magnolia stood in awe at how powerful Natsu was. Nobody could believe that one wizard could lift am object as large and heavy as Natsu's master piece. Some thought that this was training excursive. That was until the three arrived at the Church.
"Is this where the priest said I could put it? Natsu said running out of strength quickly.
"Yes this is the plot." Wendy said pointing to an open space.
"Juvia I've kept you here long enough. You can go home to the Ice bastard." Natsu said clenching his tired hands.
"Ah I missed Gray-sama's sausage! I have to head home now!" The young water mage shrieked running towards the home of the Ice mage.
"Sausage?" Wendy said tucking her finger under her chin in a thinking pose.
"Wendy you should head home to Charle is worried about you too." Natsu said to the young blue haired Dragon Slayer.
Wendy bowed to Natsu and left to see her White flying cat.
Natsu patted Simon's sandal and promised her his Statue he would be back and so he was with a blind folded Erza in a black dress with Natsu also having a black suit on with his scarf around his neck.
"Natsu what's going on? You disappeared for a day and then ask me to wear my best dark clothes and ask me to wear a dumb blind fold. What are you up to?" Erza said crossing her arms across her busty chest.
"Erza I promised Simon to keep you safe. Seeing you depressed or sad kills me so I made something to bring you comfort. I love you so much Erza." Natsu said undoing Erza's blind fold and embracing his love.
When Erza beheld Natsu's Masterpiece she gasped nearly believing it was the real Simon. Then she noticed the writing on the plaque and gasped. Natsu had spent all of yesterday making this for her. Erza turned around and hugged Natsu tight.
"Natsu thank you so much. It looks so much like him!" Erza said in a shaky voice like she was about to cry.
"Why are you crying?" Natsu said stroking her long Scarlet hair.
"I never thought that the most destructive mage in Fairy Tail would ever create something so beautiful." Erza said pecking her lover's cheek.
"Well anyone can make something beautiful when they have someone important." Natsu said smiling at his love.
Natsu burned sage sticks for Erza to pray and afterwards they left the church. Erza had her arm around Natsu's as they left.
"Oh Natsu you have to go on a job with Lucy. She really needs the money this month.
"Sure thing. I'll try hard to get back as soon as I can." Natsu said kissing Erza rose colored blushing face.
