"Speech"

"Thoughts"

"That is so cute!"

Mira, as well as other girls squealed after Lisanna retold the story of how Natsu had confessed to her (leaving the fight with the dark mage out if it).

"Who would have thought the resident fire breather had it in him"- Cana said, looking at the dragon slayer currently fighting Gray. –"I guess behind that immature act he's really started growing up."

"Juvia is glad for both of you"- her sincere smile then turned predatory as she turned to the blond stellar mage –"That leaves one love rival out of the list!"

Lisanna nervously smiled, not really understanding what she meant with "love rival". She blushed as they kept asking questions and saying how cute they looked as a couple, Lisanna wanted to wait a while before telling the others she and Natsu were a couple but she guessed the scarf was a dead giveaway. She didn't mind anyway, everyone looked happy; Juvia redoubled her stalking of a certain ice mage, Erza congratulated Natsu in her usual way; the armored female slammed his head to her armored chest letting the fight he began to slide off this time. Happy was excited at the prospect of Lisanna spending more time with him and Natsu like before, while at the same time vowing to put more effort into winning Charle's affection. Mirajane's smile was wider just like the day her sister returned, she was happy her little sister had found love, however she would later interrogate Natsu to see if he had deflowered her sister so soon. Elfman grabbed Natsu from behind with a headlock stating only a real man would be allowed to date his baby sister, then broke out crying saying the dragon slayer was that and much more and asked him to take good care of her.

Gajeel watched uninterested as they congratulated the fire slayer, while secretly wanting to have the same guts to confess to his own not so secret crush, namely a certain book worm. Alzack and Bisca smiled at the couple and shared a quick glance, before quickly turning away with a blush adorning their cheeks; both thinking maybe they would go on a mission today and see if they could confess to one another like they did.

Everyone was cheering and having a good time, Lisanna noted, but then she turned to Lucy. Although having a sincere smile for the new couple, the white hair girl could still see a bit of sadness in her expression. Lisanna felt bad for her, maybe if she hadn't returned from Edolas then she and Natsu would eventually get together like in the other world, but she couldn't deny her own happiness for the sake of others.

"I'm sorry Lucy…"- Lisanna thought feeling bad for Lucy, but then her thoughts turned possessive-"but Natsu is mine and I'm not sharing him with anyone!"

Lisanna was shocked she would think something like that, looking at the drink Mira gave her she attributed it to being a bit drunk so she put it aside. As she resumed her watching of the guild a hand ruffled her hair, looking up she found Gildarts who offered her a smile as he took a seat next to her.

"I'm glad both of you decided to tie the knot, it was just a matter of time after your return."

Lisanna blushed at what Gildarts was saying –"Natsu and I only started dating, we're still a long way of what you say Gildarts."

"That scarf around you tells me otherwise"- Gildarts smiled when the girl blushed even more –"I wasn't that older than you when I got married, besides, I feel both of you have a long prosperous future ahead of your lives." – Patting her shoulder he pointed at the dragon slayer –"It's been a while since I've last seen Natsu smile like that."

Lisanna smiled grateful at Gildarts fate in both of them, indeed her boyfriend looked very happy right now. Dodging a kick from Gray he briefly turned and locked eyes with her, sharing a smile before being punched away by the ice mage.

"Damn it ice pervert! That was a cheap blow!"

"Next time pay more attention to your surroundings, flame brains!"

"Maybe you should check your own surroundings"- Cana added pointing to his nakedness –"Like your clothes for example"

While looking around for his discarded clothes, Natsu returned the favor by punching him in the jaw sending the Ice maker trough some tables. As he laughed at how he had beaten him, a large hand crushed Natsu into the ground.

Master Makarov returned his hand back to normal size, leaving a flat Natsu on the floor –"I'm gone for one day and when I return you're trashing the guild!"

"Welcome back master, how was your trip back?"- Mirajane was unfazed by Makarov's outburst as she greeting him.

"Uneventful hehehe"- the guild master replied and jumped to the counter to drink the tar of beer Mira had ready for him.

Lisanna helped Natsu get up and both silently agreed to tell Makarov of their encounter with Jashin.

"Hey gramps…"

"Ahh, I almost forgot!"- Makarov gulped the entire contents of the beer and turned to the guild -"The council has requested that Fairy Tail helps them with a classified mission."

Most members whispered at the unexpected request, let alone that their master had so willingly accepted. Erza was already feeling this had something to do with the attack to the prison.

"If we help them with this they will get off our backs for the destruction some of you have caused in the past."- Most members nervously sweated as the master meant most of them –"So I've appointed team Natsu to take this mission. You will part in two days to meet them and the rendezvous point, which I will reveal before you set off."

While Lucy and Gray talked about their new mission, Natsu, Lisanna and Erza approached Makarov. Natsu was about to speak when the ex-quip mage beat him to it.

"Master, does this mission have anything to do with the attack at the council's prison?"

"No fair Erza! I wanted to tell him about that dark mage first!"- Natsu ranted while Lisanna face palmed, it seemed her boyfriend forgot they had decided to tell Makarov in private.

The master's eyes turned serious as he looked at them –"To my office, Elfman and Mirajane too, I must tell you something that concerns you about the mission."

Team Natsu and the takeover siblings listened as the guild Master told them about the mysterious dark guild that tried to take Angel of oracion seis, the council informed him of other girls with a similar description that had vanished before.

"The council paid it little attention at first, but when they attacked the prison trying to break Angel free they took the threat more seriously. It is unclear what they are after, but the council agrees it has something to do with white haired girls"- Makarov then turned to Lisanna and Mirajane –"When I heard about it I immediately thought of you two, so I ask you to be extremely careful and for now don't do missions until we settle this. Is that understood?"

Mira agreed, after all she rarely did any missions nowadays, however he noted Lisanna wanted to say something.

"Master, last night Natsu and I were attacked by a member of that guild"

Everyone was surprised, except the dragon slayer. –"Why didn't you told us sooner?"

"We wanted to tell you first, but in private. Forgive me sister."

Mira and Elfman's anger turned to understanding, they were just glad she was safe. Natsu was another story as Erza strangled the poor dragon slayer for not telling them sooner. Only after Lisanna asked Erza to be more considerate to her boyfriend (forcing the scarlet warrior to stop strangling the knocked out slayer) did she told them of last night's events. (Leaving out the part where she almost died and when Natsu gave her part of his magic to save her).

"It is as I feared; they already have you on their sights"- Makarov mused with a tired sigh –"Lisanna, you are to remain here at Magnolia until we defeat this dark guild."

"I'm sorry master, but I can't"- Makarov was surprised by her words –"I request you let me go with Natsu on this mission."

"Lisanna, No!"- Mira was the first to object, followed by her brother, but her mind was already set.

Looking at her blue eyes, the old master saw the determination in them, resigning he spoke-"Fine, you can go"- the answer was not what everyone expected-"they might need another healer asides Wendy, besides, something tells me even without my permission you would go with them. As part of this guild I have no doubt you will complete this mission as any of my mages would. Just be careful."

Elfman wanted to go too, but the master denied his request; he wanted him here so that Mira wasn't left completely alone. S-class mage or not, they could still ambush her if she remained by herself. The beast takeover user reluctantly agreed, with people like Natsu and Erza alongside Lisanna his worries banished, but not by much.

"If that is all, then in two days you will meet the council for their mission." –Makarov serious demeanor then turned into a happier one as he noticed Lisanna wearing Natsu's scarf-"So you and Natsu got together at last, huh?"- The girl in question acknowledged with a bit of red on her cheeks while Makarov grinned. –"I'm glad for both of you, I am so gonna miss this feeling"

Makarov's hand was extended to grab Lisanna's rear one last time, but his grin turned into a pained expression as she intercepted his hand and twisted it.

"Sorry master, but only Natsu is allowed to touch me like that"- Lisanna said surprising everyone (even herself) while the small master nursed his injured hand while shedding huge tears. –"Now: if that is all then we shall take our leave now."

Grabbing Natsu she was about to drag the unconscious slayer when Mira spoke up: "Lisanna, you can go with them on their mission on one condition:"- Her soft smile then turned more serious as she adopted her demon persona-"Show me you're capable of taking care of yourself…by fighting me: one on one."

Not even Erza expected Mira to stipulate that condition. Lisanna's smile mirrored her sister's as she agreed, shocking them even more.

Meanwhile, Natsu was just regaining consciousness after the strangling Erza had given him. Looking at the staring contest between his girlfriend and Mira; he asked.-"What I missed?"

A.N.

Hey there, once again thanks for all the favorite adds, but sadly no reviews for last chapter :'( oh well.

Anyway, the mark Natsu gave to Lisanna is what's making her act a bit out of character sometimes. Why is that u ask? In future chapters it will be detailed.

Until then, maybe i'll update this weekend again, who knows.
