Hey Peeps! This is GIYAAAA! NOT ANOTHER CRASH! I apologize for not keeping to the every-three-to-four-days-a-chapter plan! I initially wanted to publish this chapter three days ago, but I had to deal with a stupid technical problem and looooooots of crashes. GAHHHHHH! BTW. I am NOT a Nalu supporter. I am very sorry to all those Nalu fans out there. I know, I know, Nalu is most likely canon soon. I just don't really like Lucy's personality. She is just too ...Loud. But I won't make Lucy mean or bossy... that's so OOC

I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL. DUH.

(One week after tenrou group was found)

The platinum-haired siblings stood before Natsu's tomb. The funeral was a few days ago at Kardia Cathedral, where his gravestone lies. However, Lisanna knew the dragon slayer loved the sunset by the small house they made in the past. With her graystone replaced with Salamander's one, Lisanna kneeled in front of his tomb, morning her beloved's tragic death. Elfman hugged Mirajane as she wailed loudly. Elfman knew Lisanna loved Natsu tremendously. She had told him how she had wanted to be Natsu's wife when she grows up. A silent trail of tears trickled down his cheeks as memories flooded back to him. Natsu had always been a great friend, a big brother, a real... Man. He protected his Nakama no matter what situation they are in. Elfman had always looked up to Natsu, always strived to be as good as him, to be full of hope and courage. After Lisanna's death, Elfman blamed himself deeply for his actions. It was Natsu, it was the Salamander who ordered him not to blame himself. Lisanna won't want this, would she? She was always smiling... Natsu had said.

Mirajane patted her sister's head in a comforting way. "Natsu wouldn't leave us, would he? He would find a way back, back to us, back to Fairy Tail! We... we have to believe..." Mira choked out as she tried her best to stifle a sob. She couldn't accept the truth, just like the other members of Fairy Tail. She had secretly developed a crush on the dragon slayer. Although she is usually seen around being the matchmaker, trying to find the perfect ship for Natsu, she had only been doing so to hide her true feelings, her feelings for Natsu. She didn't care. Even if Natsu didn't have a tinge of romantic feeling towards her, she would be grateful to see his goofy smile greeting her every morning.

Lisanna was taking it much worse than anyone else. She had been avoiding social contact since they were found one week ago. She held Natsu's scarf in her hands and plunged into the soft white fabric. It had the scent of burnt wood and campfires. It...it's still warm, just like Natsu... Gently, she wrapped *Igneel's scarf around the tomb and stared at it a little, before her vision became blurry. She roared in frustration. Why? Why must you do that? We might have another way! Lisanna cried in her heart, letting grief and sorrow take over her.

A hand rested on her shoulders. "Lisanna, let's face the truth."

Elfman nodded solemnly,"Lisanna, remember what you told me before? All living things eventually die. It's unavoidable..." Lisanna looked up at him.

"But as long as you remember..." Mirajane said softly.

"It will live on in her heart forever. Thank you, Elf-nee-chan! Mira-nee! I think I get it. We need to move on from these sorrows. Let's live on, for Natsu!" Lisanna said in determination as she wiped away the tears.

The three siblings smiled as they watched the sky being dyed orange, then red, the dark blue, and what left was only a chalky mauve. They lay down on the soft grass as they watched the stars taking over the night sky, and a shooting star the color of fiery red rained down from above.

(one week later)

The guild had been pretty much accepted Natsu's death and decided to move on. Gildarts declined the title as the guild master and left, while Laxus joined the guild gratefully. There were lesser brawls and lesser destruction in the guild and during jobs. Wendy and Gajeel were rarely seen in the guild for some strange reason. Mirajane continued to greet everyone with a warm smile as they entered the guild. Without Natsu, Team Natsu (how ironic) took on lesser jobs. Sometimes, they had to brace the grief and take a few highly-paid jobs in order to pay Lucy's rent. Erza even allowed them taking on S-class jobs.

"Hey Macao... Don't you find it weird that Twilight Orge hasn't been bothering us?" Wakaba questioned as he glanced towards the guild doors.

"They probably heard that our main members, especially our two dragon slayers," Both winced at the title,"had returned and are pissing in their pants in fear." The fire mage chuckled as he sipped his whiskey.

"Speaking about the dragon slayers, have you seen Wendy and Gajeel around?" Macao shooked his head and Wakaba's question.

"I didn't even see them at Natsu's funeral!" Cana, who was obviously eavesdropping, blabbered out, drunk.

"Eh...Cana... I hope you didn't forget... it's better not to mention..." Macao hinted as he glanced at the take over (animal) mage. Cana raised an eyebrow and shrugged

(In the meantime with Lisanna)

"Lisanna, they are talking about Wendy and Gajeel...Oh... now they are talking about him!" Happy said as he chewed on a fish, while Lisanna tapped the table, humming a random melody.

"Wendy and Gajeel?" Her eyes lit up. "Did something happen to them? I didn't see them after we came back from Tenroujima!"

Happy shrugged. "Carla and PantherLily were also worried too! It's strange that the dragon slayers would leave them behind, though..." Lisanna nodded at this.

"Carla had been acting a little weird recently like she had been seeing visions. Do you know what happened to her?"

Happy disagreed a little too quickly. He is hiding something from me. Lisanna noted. Happy stopped chewing on the fish and stared blankly at the floor. Carla's visions... could it really be true?

(that night...)

"Inferno! We must hurry up! I can smell someone from here!" A piercing female voice called out.

"Shut up! You know I can't see in the dark!" A male voice, being addressed as Inferno, argued back.

"But Inferno-sama, if we got caught here, how should we explain?"The female voice said in frustration.

"I am sure it's here somewhere... Ah! This way!" Inferno said in excitement.

"Can we just get out of here? Firstly, it's boring. Secondly, it's time wasting. Thirdly..." Another male voice growled before being punched by Inferno.

"I said shut up!"

"Fine"

The three hooded mages walked towards the grave silently. The male with the black cloak extended his arms to unwrap the white fabric from the tomb. The female with the dark blue cloaked grunted in annoyance as she surveyed the surrounding, well, by sniffing madly since it was extremely dark with no light around.

"I'm done. Hey, Blizzard, whe..." Suddenly, he stepped on something long and slipped, falling head-first towards the female. The mage with the purple cloak stepped back, avoiding the collision.

"GYAAA!" Blizzard, not knowing what was happening, felt something coming her way, however, she was too slow. Inferno fell on top of her, crashing onto the ground with the poor lady below him. The other male smirked.

"Patheti.."He stopped abruptly and sniffed the air. Someone's coming.

Inferno and Blizzard immediately got the message through the purple-cloaked guy's telepathy message. In a swift action, both of them got to their feet.

"Who are you! Show yourselves!" A voice filled with menace boomed behind them. A couple pairs of footsteps could be heard. Seven, we have been caught! The male in the purple cloak told his friends through telepathy.

"Romeo. Light up the place." Another voice said through the darkness. Focusing his magic power on one hand, Romeo lit a small flame, barely visible for the culprits to be seen. Inferno and Blizzard immediately pulled their hoodies lower while other mage chuckled. Erza, Mirajane, Gray, Happy, Lisanna, Lucy and Romeo could be seen staring at the trio in disbelief.

"That...That's Natsu's scarf!"

"Return it to us right now!" Erza bellowed menacingly and requiped into her heaven wheel armor, a dozen of sword circled around her.

"Chivo, now!" Blizzard shrieked. Chivo closed his eyes and grabbed Inferno and Blizzard. In a flash, they were gone.

"Dammit! They teleported!" Gray cursed in frustration. He was about to rage when he saw the platinum-haired take-over mage kneeling in front of his grave, her eyes filled with a mixture of emotions.

She hid her tears in her hands as she muttered,"It's gone. That's the last thing I have... from Natsu..."

The crowd stood behind her, having only one though in mind: We will find them, and they shall pay...

(to be continued)

About Igneel's Scarf (spoiler alert to those who haven't read the recent chapters): I know. It's not Igneel who made the scarf. I read about it, but I really dislike the fact that it wasn't Igneel (I ain't telling who made it). In this fanfiction. ITS IGNEEL'S SCARF AND I DONT CARE. MUAHAHAHHAHA

Echo: I hope this ending is okay! I had a hard time writing the Strauss Siblings' funeral for Natsu. I ain't good at sad scenes, i apologize. Oh yeah! Do you guys want Wendy to become Older or stay the way she is? I really love both Wendy and Edolas Wendy. Even the Wendy that was affected by real nightmare is cute too!

I am sooooo sorry for not updating this for such a long time. I had to deal with loooaads of crashes on this stupid computer (gahhh). Don't worry, I won't be stopping this fanfiction (never ever ever). It would one chapter per week if I have school.

Anyways, Ja-Ne~~~~
