Chapter 16:

Natsu is Back

Natsu Pov.:

I felt Lucy muscles tension up but they soon relaxed and she stopped shaking as we kissed. Then I closed my eyes and rush of memories came to. One memory was I was in Edolas with her and her clone. Another memory where Lucy and I were in the Edolas caste. And in different memory, we were fighting against Grimoire Heart on Tenrou island. There was also a memory where we fought that dark dragon. Which was followed by memories of the magic games and the dragon attacks. Then a memory of a week and a day ago came to me.

FLASHBACK:

Lucy and I picked our team's next mission which we would be leaving for the next morning and Erza was giving the usually speech. "Alright, everyone, we meet at train tomorrow," Erza said, "Remember we'll be gone for three or four days so pack for that amount of time."

"Aye Sir," we replied then we broke.

"Natsu, I'm going now good luck with Lucy tonight," Happy said then he flew off toward Wendy and Carla.

"Hey Lucy," I said and she turned to face me.

"Yes, Natsu," Lucy responded and my heart started to race. 'Relax,' I told myself, 'You've been planning this for while now just do it.'

"I was wonder if you wanted to go with to dinner then we go to the park," I said then I felt my face heat up a little.

Lucy smiled as she said, "I would love to."

*TIME SKIP 1 hour later*

We were now in front of the Sakura tree I had once dug up for her when she was sick and she couldn't go to the Sakura Rainbow Festival. 'It's now or never time,' I thought as Lucy and I took a seat under the tree. "Lucy, there's something I want to tell you," I said.

"What is Natsu," Lucy asked as she blushed.

"I love you," I said and her eyes widened then they became soft.

"Natsu… I love you, too," Lucy said then she gave quick kissed me, "And I give you permission to mark me as your mate."

"How do you know about that," I asked with my surprise echoing in voice.

Lucy giggle before she said, "Levy gave me a book about Dragon mating"

"Oh," I said then I looked at her as she blushed to point where her face match Erza's hair.

"You can put the mark on the right on my neck," Lucy suggested and I grin then put my left hand on the right side of her neck. She smile at me as I captured her lips with my. While we kissed, I lit the tip of pointer finger and burned an N into her skin.

As I finished the mark, Lucy broke the kiss and said, "Natsu that tickled."

I just smile as I said, "Well, that was only the first step, you what the next step is."

"Yes, but I'm afraid that will have to wait till we get back," Lucy replied.

"Why," I asked.

"Because I need to able to get up and walk tomorrow," Lucy responded.

"Fine but we finish the process as soon as we get back," I said then Lucy nodded in agreement, "So, can I walk you home."

"Of course you can, boyfriend," Lucy replied with a smirk as we began to walk toward her apartment while I admired the mark I placerd on Lucy.

END OF FLASHBACK.

We broke the kissed and I said, "I remember everything, Luce."

Lucy Pov.:

'He just called me Luce. My Natsu is back,' I screamed in my head then I saw the seal was no gone complete me. "I hate to break you love birds apart but we're in the middle of a battle," Fenris said as sounded annoyed, "Emiko, get over here and help us."

The girl who Natsu had set down before he came to help me stared at Fenris as she said, "I'm no longer a member of Mystic Wolf so you can forget about me helping you."

"What," Fenris said and Emiko got up ignored her pain.

"I found out that Natsu is adoptive brother," Emiko said, "I can't fight him, my mother wouldn't be very pleased with me if I killed her mate's adoptive son."

"But she left you and you hated her for it, then we took you in and cared for you. We're your family," Blake said.

"She did leave me, thats true but I could never hate her for it because I'm sure she had a good reason for it," Emiko replied, "And yes, you all took me in and cared for me. But you used me for magic and abused me as well and have the scars to prove it. Family doesn't do, after I finally got a chance to see a real family, I learned that but I didn't have where to go so I didn't run."

"And you still don't have anywhere else to go," Munin yelled.

"Thats where you're wrong," Emiko answered, "I found a brother, I can go to Fairy Tail with him and his friends."

"If you think you'll live to do that, then my dear you are very wrong," Fenris said, "Kin, you know what to do."

"Yes sir," Kin said, "Glass magic: Shatter." Then shreds of glass appear and pointed at Emiko, next the sheds were thrust at her. I moved my hand to my keys and pulled out Aries' key.

"Open Gate of the Ram," I yelled as I turned the key to the side, "Aries!"

"I'm sorry," Aries said after she appeared.

"Aries, please create a wall to protect that girl," I said as I pointed at Emiko. Aries nodded then she created a wall of wool that stopped the sherds.

"I hope I did ok, miss Lucy," Aries said.

I smiled at Aries and I said, "You did great Aries, thanks, you may go."

"I'm sorry," Aries said then she disappeared.

"You tried to kill my sister," Natsu said and his eyes glowed, "And you hurt my Luce. Now you're gonna pay. After I'm done with you all, you're all gonna wish you hadn't been born."
