Fair warning: this fic is rated M for a reason. Expect sexual themes later on.

"Speech"

"Thoughts"

For her pleasure

"The girl is alive?"- A man wearing a black cloak asked.

"She was never dead to begin with, only in a parallel reality."- A disembodied voice said. –"You are to go and capture her, and then we shall be closer to our goal."

"But her guild has powerful mages like Gildarts and Erza, not to mention her own sister is an S class mage."

"Are you afraid then?"

"No master. It's just that it will take too much time to get her if I go alone"- The figure replied with a smirk.

"In any case you don't need to worry, no one will interfere. My sources tell me she will go on a mission today; intercept her team, capture her and dispose of the rest."

"It will be a pleasure"- The man stood up and grabbed his triple-bladed scythe. He was confident whoever escorted the girl would be no match for him.

"I've got to say; I'm not surprised you decided to make your move Natsu" – Gildarts Clive, the ace of Fairy Tail said to the young dragon slayer. –"If she hadn't vanished two years ago I bet you two would be doing it like there's no tomorrow by now."

"Are you gonna give me an advice or not?"- A red as a tomato Natsu asked the S-Class Mage.

"Probably the guild would be filled with little pink haired brats too ha ha ha!"

"Gildarts!"

"Ok, ok, I'll stop"- Gildarts wiped a tear of his eye while smoke came out of Natsu's head–"As you told me this is the perfect opportunity: after you finish the job take her out to a fancy restaurant, be sure to behave with your eating habits (even though she doesn't seem to mind), make sure to create a mood."

"Create a mood…"- Natsu wrote on a small notepad, making Gildarts sweat drop.

"Anyway, you shouldn't have much problem confessing to her. Something tells me she harbors the same feelings for you"

"Really! How can you tell?" – Natsu asked to Gildarts, while the S-Mage was surprised the pink head was that clueless.

"Call it a gut feeling"- Gildarts answered as he motioned Natsu outside. –"Now get going, you don't want to keep her waiting do you?"

"You're right, thanks for the advice Gildarts."- Natsu then headed off towards the guild while Gildarts watched on. He had a strange feeling about this mission but brushed it aside and wished Natsu the best of luck.

"So he and Lucy are just friends, right?"

"Aye. Natsu was the one that brought Lucy to Fairy Tail when we first met her, and then we formed a team together"

"I see"- a relieved Lisanna said to Happy, glad it wasn't the same case as in Edolas.

"Why do you ask Lisanna?"- Happy's question broke her line of thoughts, startling her for a moment.

"Well uh, you see, it's just that…"

"!You liiiiiiiiiiiike him!"- Happy said, rolling his tongue.

Lisanna turned a deep shade of red; it seemed absence does make the heart fonder. Before she could answer Natsu arrived.

"Good morning Lisanna, ready to set out?"

Glad for the distraction, Lisanna stood up and greeted him -"Yeah, just let me get my things."

As she turned to enter the guild, Natsu couldn't help notice the attire she was wearing today: a light blue shirt that shows her light figure, a pair of sneakers and some really short-shorts which left Natsu mesmerized with her long creamy legs. Her Fairy Tail stamp visible on her left thigh. It was a good thing she had her back to him or else she would have seen his face, the things that passed through Natsu's head gave him a slight nosebleed.

"Damn Gildarts and his perverted ideas!"- The slayer thought even though he was the one that envisioned such graphic things with Lisanna. Looking down he was shocked to find a smirking Happy who was onto him.

"!You liiiiiiiiiiiike her!"

"I thought I left that clear last night"- Natsu scowled to the smilling exceed. –"Anyway, ready to go Happy?"

"Sorry Natsu, but I'm going with Charle to visit Lucky and Marl and the others. Hope you don't mind I leave you two alone."

"So you're going with Charle huh? !You liiiiiiiiiiiike her!"- Natsu mimicked.

"Natsu is mean! Making fun of my love life!"- Happy left in tears leaving a perplexed Natsu.

"But I only repeated what you always say?"

"Natsu."- A big shadow loomed over said dragon slayer, even though he was more powerful there was something in Elfman that made Natsu cringe in fear. –"You better take good care of my little sister as a real man would."

Natsu had the decency not to nosebleed in front of Elfman while he processed how he could take "care" of Lisanna like a "real man" would.

"Is that clear!"

"Aye sir!"- Natsu replied in a Happy-type of way.

"Now now Elfman, I know Natsu will take good care of her"- Mirajane said as she appeared next to her brother. –"Isn't that right, Natsu?"

Even though she said it with a lovely expression, Natsu could still feel the promise of immense pain should her little sister got harmed in any way during their mission.

Lowering her gaze Mira continued –"It's just that…it's her first time in a mission without us since she returned, Natsu."

"We know she can take care of herself"- Elfman added –"but we still worry about her."

Natsu understood, it wasn't easy for them after what they lived through before –"You don't need to worry at all. I'll protect Lisanna with my life, that's a promise."

Both siblings were relieved to hear that –"Since a real man is escorting my sister then there is nothing to fear. I trust in you Natsu."

While Elfman entered the guild, Mira told Natsu one last thing. –"I trust you too Natsu but take this as well."-Grabbing the small package Natsu was shocked when he realized it was a box of condoms, ribbed for her pleasure to be exact.

"I'm too young to be an aunt".- Mira said as she left him with his jaw hitting the floor.

"Something tells me Mira is not the saint we all think she is"- Natsu thought while ignoring the plot hole of how they knew what a condom was. (Seriously, do they exist on that world? Or do they have some sort of magic to prevent pregnancy?).

"Ready to go Natsu"- Lisanna reemerged from the guild with a backpack.

Acting quickly, Natsu hid the box of condoms before she got a glimpse of them.-"Sure, let's head off."- Natsu said with a smile to match hers. –"By the way, you haven't told me what mission we're doing."

"Something simple, this person asked for us to catch them a certain fish they consider a delicacy in their hometown. Sounds easy right?"- While the dragon slayer agreed with her, Lisanna had other reasons of picking such an easy mission; -"If all goes right, I will have enough time so I can finally confess my feelings to Natsu."- She had also considered the possibility of him just liking her as a friend, nothing more (clueless as Natsu). But she wanted to take her chances, the memories of the other Lucy and Natsu on Edolas still fresh in her mind.

From atop of Fairy Tail, a certain blond mage watched as both Natsu and Lisanna headed off towards their mission. As she watched them she couldn't deny a small pang of jealousy that invaded her.

"I know she and Natsu were close ever since childhood and Natsu is only my friend. But why do I still feel like I've lost him. "–sighing she closed her eyes –"I'm just being silly, it's just two friends on a mission, yeah that's just what it is"But no matter how many times she repeated those words , she still felt she had lost her opportunity with the pink head dragon slayer.

"Don't worry Lucy, my love for you will never go away"- Loke said as he groped, I mean hugged her from behind, surprising her.

A scream followed by a hard slap was heard through Fairy tail that morning, many wondered if it had something to do with a blushing mad stellar mage and a stellar spirit with broken glasses and a hand printed on his cheek.

A.N.

First of all thanks to adamski, Kimba616, ChedderChez and Max Tiger. The first people to review my fic, and special thanks for those who marked this story as favorite alert. And yes Kimba, this pair need more love from the fans, I hope others get inspired and will write more NaLi fics for the site.

Just to be clear; it's not that I dislike Lucy in any way, It's just that there's already a ton of fics pairing her with Natsu. Don't expect any Lucy bashing in any way. Also, don't expect a lemon next chapter because of the condom scene, they will take it slow, but there will be one in the future.

The chapters might be too short, but this way I can write and update faster.

Until then
