Here is the second chapter everyone! I've gotten a couple reviews for my first chapter, alot less than I expected to get but I thank everyone for reviewing.
Now, I've had I think two people tell me not to do a harem story and I believe people are a bit fed up with the harems with Erza Natsu and Mirajane.
I can understand if there is too many of them and there are quite a bit in there. So, what are the opinions for a Natsu x Erza x Cana fic? Cana plays a large part in my story... well she will and she would be an easy candidtate for a harem. I really think I am going to do it despite if people don't want it, but trust me. Cana plays a large part and I think people well accept it if they give it a chance.
Well here you go! I own nothing. I may or may not write the third chapter as soon as I publish this chapter.
Natsu was currently heading to his home, which was near where he lived with his mother. He had built a very small home built out of sticks and leaves, making it blend in with the forestry. He had built it between several very large trees and the shrubbery nearby made it look like just a large tree if you were a decent distance away.
He felt like someone or something was behind him, but he felt like they were far enough away that he would avoid their sight if he got hidden enough. He dove into the deep shrubbery before he quietly climbed into his house, shutting the door as he took a seat on the ground, next to the small fire pit. He wouldn't light it until he knew that the coast was clear. He had hid himself from society as much as possible as he was still very much hated despite his good deeds.
Those who gave him the reward money did it out of fear and not out of gratitude but this was something that Natsu was accustomed to. He knew everyone would fear him and hate him, so he decided that his home would be somewhere away from society. The nearby village of Rosemary had been burned down after they were kidnapped, so their was no one near him for miles. To get places, he would walk or use his shadow magic to traverse large expanses of terrain. He would also use his shadow magic to steal requests from the boards of guilds, so he could complete them. He had never been caught once.
Erza Scarlet, was the strongest woman in her guild, Fairy Tail. Fairy Tail was one of the strongest magical guilds, if not the strongest guild in Fiore. Fairy Tail's headquarters was located in Magnolia town. Erza Scarlet was requested by her master to handle a job that had been on the S class board for about a year. She didn't know why she was requested but she was eager to handle this as other members of their guild have tried, including Laxus, but none could find the being in the job page.
Erza Scarlet had traveled to the town of the most recent sighting of the being. It was a being known to have a very dark aura about him as if being in his very presence would taint your soul. He wore a black robe or trench coat with a hood that covered his head, revealing nothing about his face. If you were close enough, two red slit's for eyes were barely visible, but you had to be almost in touching range to see them. The bottom of his robe was tattered and shredded, giving him a more menacing look. After she had gotten information about this creature, she set out on the nearby roads, attempting to locate such a being.
She spent a week out from the guild, going from town to town as she had been getting more recent sightings of him, heading farther out towards the border near Bosco. She was now able to track his movements as he seemed to be heading back to somewhere. She had been tracking his foot prints and it seemed the evil being was barefoot but had human shaped feet. She had determined it must have been an evil wizard that is doing this.
She spotted him one morning, leaving a cave near where she had stopped for the night, watching a cloaked figure almost glide from the cave and off onto the road. She had decided to tail him, staying far enough away so she wouldn't be spotted. It was when they entered the forest bordering the village she grew up in that she closed the distance, staying behind trees.
'I see… you think that you can hide in the dense brush don't you?' She thought with a chuckle before she drew her sword and quietly entered through the brush. She raised a brow as she was right in front of a home of sticks, a very crudely man-made home. 'Interesting.. so this is where he lives.' She thought before she cleared her throat. "Get out here at once! For the crime's you have committed, you are to face justice at my hand!" She demanded, waiting for something to happen but it was quiet out. There was no sound coming from the home and she quickly stabbed her sword through the crude door, ripping it down before she looked inside, only to spot nothing.
Natsu waited and waited in quiet for the being to go away, but as soon as she heard the footsteps and the sound of the brush being pulled away, he disappeared into his shadow and quickly went underneath his house and reappeared several yards away before he walked away, heading deeper into the forest towards the border of Bosco.
As soon as he walked about twenty yards away, he had to dodge to the left as a sword nearly cleaved his right arm off. It was the one stalking him!
"You think you can run from your crimes! Face me heathen!" The woman roared. The scarlet hair of the women flew in the wind and from her movements, bringing back memories for Natsu but Natsu shook them away as the memories were only reminders of the pain he suffers. He was then almost stabbed in the stomach by the sword but his body dispersed into shadow itself, like a black mist before reforming a foot away. He then lifted up his left arm, which was that of a dragons and grabbed onto her sword as it came down towards his shoulder, holding it still. This got Erza to widen her eyes in surprise as she couldn't even take her sword back. "A Dragon's hand?! You replaced your arm with the arm of a dragon?!"
"Please… leave me alone." Spoke a male voice, one that was full of fear and sorrow.
"You hurt people and you beg to be left alone?! You are a coward!" She roared. "REQUIP! Heavens Wheel Armor!" She roared. Her armor changing in a flash of light. She wore plated armor like that of a dragons that covered her breasts, leaving her stomach and her upper chest and neck exposed. She had a skirt with metal plates that formed another skirt though about half as much as the clothed skirt. She had two metal plate boots with small wings on each of them while she had two large metal wings that looked very sharp. She wielded a sword in each hand. "YOU WILL DIE!" She roared, putting two swords together. "Trinity Sword!" She yelled as she began to swing the swords outwards towards Natsu.
"Annihilation Dragon's Shadow Claw!" Natsu called out, his dragon hand turning black with shadow as the claws turned also black and were even longer. He swung his hand out and struck her two blades, not allowing her to strike outwards towards Natsu. They began to push against each other, neither giving an inch.
It was then Erza's eyes widened as memories began to flash in her head, memories of a boy who used a similar move, but it was fire. 'No. That boy is dead… I searched for him for two years… this one is just a pathetic version of him!' She roared in her head as her anger fueled her strength, forcing him to slide back before she finally got to swing her blades, sending the cloaked figure flying backwards into a tree. She charged right at him but he disappeared into shadows so she stopped and began to look around for him. It was then she turned behind her only to get smacked in the head by the male's two wrists, getting stunned before she was punched in the gut by his dragon hand, forcing her to cough up some bile but she was picked up by his dragon hand on her stomach with a human hand on her head before she was slammed onto her back. She got up quickly and began to swing her swords down, but it was a mistake.
The ground shook underneath Erza and Natsu before a large centipede, easily reaching the height length of thirty feet. She was instantly struck by the forcipules of the centipede in the unarmored section of her armor, injecting her with a potent paralysis agent which immediately got to work, sending the armored wizard crashing the ground where she rolled into a tree, her body spasming out. She watched as the centipede turned and went for her again, going to drag her back into the ground where she would become a meal, only for the cloaked figure to appear in front of her and grab onto the centipedes jaws, or the forcipules before slamming the centipede onto it's back and away from them. It was then she went completely still, her heart still beating but her muscles no longer there. She also blacked out from the powerful venom.
"ANNIHILATION DRAGON'S SHADOWFLAME WAVE!" Natsu called out, a magic circle appearing in front of his hood before a small wave of flame, much smaller in size about a foot in width struck the centipede in the face, which got the creature to cry out in massive pain as the bug began to writhe on the ground as the flame began to spread on his body, before it would die from twenty seconds of the flame.
Natsu turned to the scarlet-haired woman and looked down at her, before he bent down and picked her up in a bridal carry. He noticed the blue stamp on her left arm, which was the symbol of the Fairy Tail guild.
'Guess I should return her…' He stated before he began to get swallowed up by his shadow, taking the paralyzed woman with him.
Mirajane Strauss, is a slim and very young woman of below average height. She had long white hair that slightly curled at its ends. She was the bartender for the Fairy Tail guild and she was currently taking some drinks over to a couple members of the guild, only to stop as she watched as the ground a few feet to her left began to blacken and bubble before a hood appeared from it. She noticed that a few other members began to get into a fighting stance but when the figure appeared to be carrying someone, almost everyone got up to fight. It was then Makarov, the master of the Fairy Tail guild jumped down from the second floor, appearing in front of her brother, Elfman Strauss and a couple other members.
The figure glided forward towards the master, kneeling and placing Erza onto a table before slowly backing away.
"Is she… dead?" Asked Cana, the resident drunk. Elfman and a few other men surrounded the black robed figure, ready to deliver a beat down but the master looked up at the black robed figure.
"You brought her back… you could have killed her." The old man spoke. "You have my gratitude for not killing her."
"She… was attacked by a large centipede." Spoke a very quiet male voice. He seemed very shy to Mirajane.
"I see then she isn't in any danger. She should return to normal in an hour or two. You have my gratitude for rescuing her." He stated, the master bowing his head to the black robed figure who was no longer being surrounded. However, due to the dark aura that surrounded the figure, most members within the guild were giving him a look of disgust and anger like one would give a dark wizard. "How would you like to be made a member of Fairy Tail?" The old man asked Natsu. It was then a few men stood up.
"You can't be serious! That's an evil wizard! We'll get in trouble by the other guilds!"
"We should kill him before he reports to his own guild!"
A few others began to agree and the guild began to get louder and louder as others began to agree.
"ENOUGH!" Makarov roared before looking at Natsu. "Well?"
"Never will I be welcome amongst the heartless monsters you surround yourself with… every one of them want nothing but my life and I cannot blame them… Look around you… eyeing me with hatred… Don't be naive enough to think that I will ever be welcome anywhere..." Natsu stated, his voice becoming more distorted from his powers the longer he spoke. It was then he instantly dispersed into a fine black mist which disappeared in a matter of seconds, leaving no trace he was ever even here.
Makarov closed his eyes in regret but sighed, turning to Erza.
"So… I was right all along… he was the one people wanted dead..." Makarov stated, looking down at Erza who was sleeping soundly.
"Master, what are you talking about?" Mirajane asked.
"I will explain it all… when Erza awakens next but I will say this… you have nothing to fear of that boy… for he isn't evil." Makarov stated, returning to sitting on the ledge of the second floor, looking upon his guild.
Natsu appeared shortly at his home in the forest before he destroyed it in a single swipe of his shadow claw. He had to destroy it as now his home was now located by a magical guild, one that was after him. He must now go back into hiding, somewhere else.
Read. Review. Moo.
