The black dragon slayer of the apocalypse
Chapter 4
At Lucy's house
"I don't understand why he has to stay at my house."
…House… but I'm pretty sure I… Ahh! Where was I?
"You know there aren't any beds in the guild anymore so he can't put him there"
Who talking? And why is everything black?
"Then why can't we put him in his own house?"
My head is so groggy and why does my body feel like it's just ran a marathon?
"For one it's in the middle of the woods and two, well…"
"It's a dump"
Thwack!
"AAH! But it's true!"
"I wouldn't have used those terms, Gray, but yes it is a dump. Completely unsuitable for someone who's recovering from burns."
Burns!? Did I get burned?
"Erza! Erza! He moved, he moved!"
"What! Is he securely on the bed, Happy?"
"Aye sir"
Natsu's eyes opened. Before anyone knew it, he was already frantically trying to get out of bed.
"I knew he would do this. Natsu calm down!"
"WHY CAN'T I GET OFF?"
"You haven't fully healed yet. You have to stay in bed."
"WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU!?"
At that moment, Erza looked straight into Natsu eyes only to find an empty void.
2 days ago- straight after the battle between Natsu and Haruhi
"NATSU!" The fairy tail onlookers ran to the aid of their fallen comrade.
Haruhi turned around and began to walk away from her brutally beaten brother.
The master's eyes were as cold as the day he fought the master of Grimoire Heart. His breaths were slowly getting heavier and veins were visible on his forehead. He faced Haruhi.
"What did you do Haruhi?"
"I warned him but he refused to back down until I gave him a proper fight."
"THAT'S NO EXCUSE! YOU SHOULD'VE HELD BACK!"
At that moment Haruhi stopped in her tracks.
"I did hold back" She said hoarsely
"YOU WHAT!?"
"I did hold back" She said in a slightly raised voice.
"I DARE YOU SAY THAT AGAIN!"
Haruhi turned her entire body to face the master. Tears streaming down her face.
"I HELD BACK. I SWEAR I HELD BACK. I EVEN USED A FIRE ATTACK… I thought… I thought…"
Haruhi fell, lowering her head to Makarov. Hands, knees and feet were on the ground. Tears dripping of the tip of her nose. Body shaking all over. You could tell she was going to collapse at any moment.
"…I'm sorry… I thought… he could take it."
Her head rose.
"He told me he could handle it… I believed my brother with all my heart… but even so… I had to be sure and held back."
Tears were still flowing from her cheeks.
Haruhi: Natsu… why… you told me you could handle it… why did you lie to me. Now I've hurt you. Please don't hate me. I genuinely do care about you brother; however it seems I can't show it properly. Master, he will punish me. I need to make this right.
Haruhi bowed her head once again
Master: She's barely staying awake. She doesn't look like she was hurt in that fight. I think she's waiting for me to give her an answer. Then she truly feels remorse, of what she did to Natsu. I can't forgive her yet. Not yet.
The master gave a final look at Haruhi and left her on the floor. He inquired about Natsu's condition. He trusted the people he thought of as his children. He returned back to the guild.
1 hour later
"Haruhi, please you have to get up"
Lisanna had come back to the guild after Natsu was moved to Lucy's house, it was already very crowded there and no one had cleaned up the guild so her and Mira-Jane returned. Mira went straight inside the guild and had told Lisanna to clean around the guild.
Lisanna saw Haruhi almost immediately in the exact same position she was in an hour ago.
She passed out in this position?
"Haruhi wake up"
"Huh? Has Natsu woken up yet?"
"… No he hasn't…" Lisanna said sorrowfully.
"Then what about the master has he forgiven me?"
"No, and I don't think he will for a while"
"I expected as much. I will wait in this position until one comes to pass. That will be my punishment. That'll do for now."
"What!? You can't do that!"
"Please"
Lisanna got up and left.
Lisanna: She can't be serious, can she? In that time she didn't look at me even once. I'm worried for her. Oh Haruhi.
Around 5 minutes later Lisanna returned and placed a blanket around Haruhi.
"Please, I don't deserve such…"
Lisanna interrupted her. "Shut up! If you don't except this then I will actually chuck you out, now stop complaining!"
"…Thank you"
"I'll be leaving now to clean the place a bit. I'll leave some food here later, although I don't think you'll eat any, but please don't do anything dumb. I'll be off no. Bye"
The next morning
A group fairy tail members conversation
"Damn that Haruhi. Who does she is?"
"I don't care that she's Natsu's sister, after what she did yesterday she doesn't deserve that honour."
"I don't understand why the master doesn't kick her out already."
"Actually I haven't seen master after yesterday's fight. Have you?"
"No"
Mira had just arrived serving the members of fairy tail on the table.
"Hey Mira, where's the master?"
"He's in his office, I'm not sure what he's doing, but its best you don't disturb him he's not in the best of moods."
Outside
Lisannna: It looks like Haruhi's still there. At least she ate the food I gave her yesterday.
"Haruhi here I got you some more food. No complaining. The people in the guild are angry at you but in time they will forgive you. Wendy should return from her job this afternoon and heel Natsu. He should be awake by tomorrow."
"That's good news."
"You should go visit him."
"I want to but I know that no one will let me near him. I mean I nearly killed my own brother."
