Natsu Pov.:

*TIME SKIP 47 minutes later*

Both of us were low on magic so we stopped doing magic attack and did physical attacks."Why do we have to fight," I asked as we continued to match blow for blow.

"Because I'm a member of a dark guild ," Emiko said then throw her fist at me, "And you have enemy out of our guild. So I have to fight you."

"Why do you fight on they're side," I asked as I stopped her punches.

"They took me in when my mother disappeared on July 7," Emiko said while she tried to do some side kicks, "They took care of me even though I was sick. I was alone and ill when they found me."

"But I'm sure if your mom is anything like my father then she wouldn't want to be apart of a dark guild," I replied as I went the offense by throwing a few punched that hit her chest and her arms that she was using for defense.

"I didn't have a choice, I join the guild to repay them for helping," Emiko responded then my fist hit her stomach, "I know she would be disappointed in me which is why I gave up on finding her. It's a good punishment for me… Even through she promised me that one day I would get to meet Igneel, I don't have the right to meet him after everything I've done for the dark guild I'm member of."

"I don't know about that," I said as I side kicked her legs causing her to fall to the ground, "It would be unfair to Igneel if he never got to meet you. Besides, you can still change your ways."

"They'll kill me if I try to leave," Emiko replied as water started cover her right foot.

"If they do, then I'll protect you," I said then she looked dumbfounded.

"You barely know me and yet you would still protect me," Emiko responded and the water began to move away from her foot.

"Of course I would," I told her, "I would disappoint Igneel if I didn't."

Emiko stared at me with tears in her eyes as she said, "Natsu… THANK YOU!" Then she ran up to me to hug but she slipped and twisted her ankle.

"Whoa, Emiko take it easy," I said as walked beside her, "Put your arm over my shoulder."

Emiko did as I said then I helped her get on to her feet. "By the way Natsu," Emiko said.

"What," I responded.

"Lucy sort of smells like you," Emiko replied.

"What do you mean," I asked.

"Munin's memory magic must have done a real number on you," Emiko responded.

"Wait, you're with that guild," I yelled.

"Not anymore," Emiko said then she place her hand on her neck focused her magic to that spot, destroying her guild mark.

"So tell me what do you mean Lucy sort of smells like me," I asked.

Emiko stopped, stared at me, then broke out into laughter as she said, "Wow, my brother is dense!"

"Hey, what do mean I'm dense," I yelled.

"Didn't Igneel tell you about the mating process," Emiko replied with smirk.

"Ya," I said, "First, you mark your mater using your element which will cause their sent to mix with theirs but the sent change can only be notice by dragons and other dragon slayers. OH CRAP!"

"You must have started the mating process before you lost all memory of her," Emiko replied, "It's no wonder she seemed a little sad when she saw you rescue her."

I was about to respond when I started to have another round of flash backs.

FLASHBACK:

I had fallen' into fake Gray's trap and Lucy was trying to save while a fake Lucy tried to distract her when a girl appeared. "Hello Lucy," the girl said, "I'm Angel!"

"A Oracihan Seis," Lucy yelled then the fake Lucy turned in gemi and mini.

"The twin spirits Gemini," Angel said, "Thats right I'm Celestial Spirit wizard too."

*TIME SKIP about 20 minutes later*

Hibiki gave something to Lucy and she went into a trance as she started to chant, "Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens... All the stars, far and wide... Show me thy appearance... With such shine. Oh Tetrabiblos... I am the ruler of the stars... Aspect become complete... Open thy malevolent gate." Spears start to appear around Lucy.

"Its all up to you… Lucy," Hibiki said as he fell backwards and hit the ground.

"Oh 88 Stars of the heaven," Lucy chanted.

"What is this," Angel yelled as the spears targeted her.

"Shine," Lucy chanted, "Urano Metria!" Then the spears attacked Angel as she screamed. After that, Lucy broke out of the trance.

"You did good Lucy," Hibiki said.

"What happened," Lucy said then she ran toward me, "Natsu, you okay?"

Then there was noise behind Lucy and Angel was standing again. "I will not… Be… Defeated… The Oracion Seis… Never… Lose," Angel said as she aimed the gun at Lucy, "Begone with you!" The next moment the gun shot a laser at Lucy but she missed Lucy and the hit the rock holding the raft in place. I felt the raft move and I got more sick.

*TIME SKIP a few hours later*

I wake up looking for a light and I yelled, "Where is it?!"

"I provided the same service for Natsu," Virgo told Lucy.

"That wasn't necessary," Lucy replied the I noticed I had on some new clothes on.

"Where's that light black," I yelled.

"The light change colors while you two were unconscious, it turned from black to white," Virgo said as we saw the light.

I growl then sighed and glared over at Lucy. Lucy freaked out a little but I relaxed and said, "Thanks for saving me Lucy."

*TIME SKIP sometime during the few weeks*

"I can't go," Lucy said with a red stuffy nose.

"Why," I asked.

"I'm sick," Lucy replied as she sneezed.

"Oh, okay then I'll see you later," I said.

"Aye, see you later Lucy," Happy said then we left.

*TIME SKIP that evening*

"Hurry Natsu, I want to see Lucy's reaction," Happy said as we raced toward Lucy while we had a rainbow sakura floating right behind us down the river.

"We're almost there," I said as we were half a block from Lucy's apartment.

We got to Lucy apartment watched as Lucy opened her window. Lucy smiled as the Sakura tree passed by and she said, "Beautiful."

"Mission complete," I said as I high fives Happy. Then we ran down to make sure we put the tree back.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Natsu, you okay," Emiko asked and she waved her hand in front of my face.

I snapped out of my trance and smiled at Emiko then I said, "Yea, I'm fine. Just had a few more memories of Lucy come back.

Dear Readers,

So if you're wondering, Natsu now remembers Lucy just before the Edolas stuff. I had fun with his chapter because I got to put a bit of Natsu watching Lucy's reaction to the rainbow sakura tree which was not in the anime or the omake, to me it's sweet. About that, I wont really include Daphne stuff because it's not in the manga but some of the other stuff are based off omake so you can include that. Anyways, tell me what you think of this chapter and/or the story so far by writing a review. Thanks for reviewing and reading.

From,

Lavawings
