Here is the next chapter for the story. I hope it is enjoyable for everyone. I own nothing.

Natsu woke up naturally when the sun began to shine, only to shoot up in the bed as he didn't recognize the room. His movements on the bed woke up the other occupant of the room, Erza Scarlet. Erza looked over at Natsu who was looking around only for his attention to fall on her.

"It's alright. I said you can sleep in my house. You're on my bed. It's ok." She said with a yawn, snuggling into her blankets as she was going back to sleep. "Go and do whatever you want. You can explore if you want. Bathroom is to the right when you leave the room." She said sleepily before falling back asleep, not wanting to be up at this time as most people in the guild weren't.

Natsu began to wander the house, entering a room to his left which was a library location. He began to wander around the room, looking at all the books on the shelves but weren't pleased with what he found. Natsu was looking for something that jumped out at him so to speak. It was then he opened up a door in the shelf, coming upon books that were red, pink and other vibrant colors. He sat on the ground and pulled a pink book out, looking at the cover. It wasn't like the other books that had a single sentence on the front with a boring picture on the front. This one had a much more exciting cover. It was covered with many hearts and there was a picture of two girls and a male fighting… well that is what Natsu thought at least. He began to pull out books two at a time, seeing at all the awesome pictures that were pretty similar though in different wrestling positions. There was also a wrestling book with ropes.

He put all the books back but the rope wrestling book and the first book he grabbed, picking them up and leaving the room, wanting to go and take a bath with them. Natsu as a child took baths while his mother would read next to him. He turned on the bath and waited patiently, the books on the shelf next to the water. It seemed Erza enjoyed reading books in the bath as well because there was a book on the shelf before he entered the room.

After two minutes of waiting, he climbed into the hot bath with his cloak still on, always bathing with it on. He would just use his fire to dry off as usual. It was one application that Natsu really liked about his fire though he didn't like his powers at all… because of how destructive they were. He couldn't control the flames so they always burned out of control.

Erza woke up about thirty minutes after she went back asleep, groaning before she sat up, her mammoth melons bouncing gently. She noticed that Natsu wasn't in the room so she stood up and grabbed a change of clothes, deciding a hot bath would do wonders. She opened up the door, which wasn't locked, and as soon as she entered she froze up.

Laying in the hot water was Natsu who was reading one of her racy smut novels. It was also a picture book as on one page there was the text and the other page was the picture in full color. Erza's eyes were wide as she saw him trace the picture with his dragon claw, before he turned to her.

"W-Where did you get those?" She asked, blushing.

"You said I could do whatever I wanted… so I went into the room to the left..." He said meekly, as if scared of Erza's wrath. "I found a bunch of books that looked interesting… I'm sorry. I didn't know you didn't want me in that room."

"T-That's not it. Just those books are… um… private." She said, looking at Natsu. She didn't even care that she was fully naked in front of him, but what she did care was now Natsu would think of her was a pervert.

"Oh… they are interesting… though I don't understand what's going on."

"Wait… you don't?" Erza asked, climbing into the tub and sitting opposite of Natsu, though to his right.

"No. I don't understand what they are doing in this book… the cover the man is fighting with the woman but in the book, the woman is on her knees… is this not a fighting book? I don't understand. Do I need to read more to see the fights?"

Erza looked at him with a confused look. "Do… you not know how to read?"

Natsu blushed a bit. "Of course I do! My mother taught me whole lots of words."

"I'm sure she did… but you can't read what is in the book can you?"

"N-No… I don't know how to write either… I lost my mother when I was young." He said, holding his knees to his chest now. Erza smiled widely. She found a way to be even more useful for Natsu.

"I can teach you how to read and write!"

"You can?" Natsu asked, looking up at her.

"Yes. When I am done with you, you will have no problems reading these books or anything in the world!"

"Ok. That sounds nice. You're… too kind." He said quietly.

Erza smiled and patted his knee. "It's not even a problem. If anything, I want to do it as then you can help pick out missions and I can come with you for them." She said with a grin.

"So… about that book. If they are fighting, why is she on her knees in the first chapter?"

"W-Well…." She said, drawing out the final word. "It's called a blowjob… and they aren't fighting. They are having sex." She said, blushing.

"What is sex?"

"It's what two people do for pleasure or to make babies."

"So… that's how you make babies?" He asked, not hiding the venom in his tone.

"Yes." She said, not catching the venom until she saw him grab the three books in the room and light them on fire, destroying them completely. Her eyes went wide and she stood up. "What was that for?!"

"YOU LIKE TO READ ABOUT THAT?! YOU DISGUST ME!" He said, his anger pulsing throughout him, which made Erza a bit scared of Natsu. She could feel the power he held within his body surging uncontrollably.

"What are you talking about?! It's a natural thing!"

"THERE IS NOTHING NATURAL ABOUT THAT! MY MOTHER DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH MY FATHER! DISGUSTING!" He said, stepping out of the bath and storming away, his soaked body leaving marks all over her carpet as he went downstairs.

"Wait… oh shit." She stated, quickly hopping out of the bath and running after Natsu, running out of the house as she caught up with Natsu. Mirajane and Cana were both leaving their shared apartment, only to come upon a naked Erza chasing a Natsu. "Wait Natsu. I think you are misunderstanding." Erza said, but Natsu didn't stop. Mirajane came over and grabbed onto Natsu's shoulder from the front, stopping him from leaving.

"Now now, what is this about?" She asked, smiling softly.

Erza blushed and looked away, not answering the question. Mirajane looked down at Natsu and smiled.

"What happened sweety?"

"She… she reads things like what my father did to my mother!" He said, his red eyes glowing and glaring at Erza. Mirajane instantly caught on to what was going on.

"Ok Natsu sweety, I think you might have gotten a bit confused." Mirajane said while Cana sauntered over, laughing next to Erza.

"He must have gotten into your collection and you tried to explain to him didn't ya?" Cana asked, grinning.

"Shut up." Erza snapped. Cana just laughed and looked at Mira and Natsu.

"Ok, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say she said what you saw in the books of hers was sex right? And that sex was for making babies?" Mira asked. Natsu nodded and she understood even more. "I don't think she was aware that your mother had sex against her will… she was raped Natsu. Sex is wanted by a lot of women and men, and that is perfectly fine. Sex against someones will is rape and its bad. Are you understanding?"

Natsu slowly nodded and she smiled.

"Ok, then you understand now that Erza and those books have nothing to do with rape right?"

Natsu slowly nodded and looked to Erza before he bowed to her. He was bent forward almost perfectly and everyone was surprised.

"I am sorry for destroying those books and getting worked up. I didn't know. I am so sorry." Natsu said and the three women watched as a tear fell onto the ground which got everyone's eyes to widen. Erza was the first to react, pulling Natsu into a big hug.

"There is no reason to cry. It's ok! I promise it is ok. I'm not mad." She cooed, hugging his chest to her own naked chest before letting him go. Erza requiped into her normal clothes and armor, smiling at Natsu. "I can just order those books back. It's ok."

"I'll pay you back." Natsu stated. "I will just do a job and give you the money."

Erza nodded. "That right there, would be acceptable." Erza said with a grin. All four of them began to walk back to the guild in silence, though it would end very shortly.

"If you like those books… does that mean you really want sex?" Natsu asked, his voice full of childish curiosity. The reactions given to that question were instantaneous.

Cana began to laugh hard, leaning against a light pole as she held her sides, her laughter a beautiful melody into the air. "H-He go-got you there!" Cana said as she continued to laugh.

Mirajane's eyes widened from the question, though a huge smile was on her face as she put a hand over her mouth, holding back her laughter.

Erza's response to the question was her eyes widening and her face going completely red like a tomato, not expecting such a question.

"Did… I say something wrong?" Natsu asked as he wasn't getting an answer and Erza looked red like she was angry.

Cana continued to laugh. "No no. That was a good question!" Cana stated, her laughs like giggles. "H-Hey Erza. A-Are you wanting sex?!" Cana asked, laughing once more while holding her sides.

Mirajane began to giggle at this, enjoying herself greatly at Erza's expense.

Erza just stormed off, leaving everyone behind as she stormed into the guild hall, which left Natsu really confused. Mirajane turned around and grinned at Natsu.

"She's just really embarrassed from the question is all. Don't worry so much about the answer Natsu." Mirajane stated. "But if you want my opinion… the answer is yes."

Natsu tilted his head. "If she is so embarrassed, why does she have those books? If she wants sex… why doesn't she get any?"

At the second question, Cana fell to her knees in laughter, putting her hand out towards the others.

"Ok ok you have to stop! Please!" She begged while laughing. "Too much!"

Mirajane snickered and shook her head before turning to Natsu. "It's a complicated subject Natsu. I know that you are just asking innocently, but it's a very private and complicated subject. Do me a favor and not worry about it ok sweety?"

"Ok." Natsu said, nodding.

"Good! Now let's go and get some breakfast in you."

"Ok… Erza said she is going to teach me how to read and write."

"Oooh that sounds like fun." Mira said. "Want me to help you when I can?"

Natsu nodded. "You seem nice… so… ok." Natsu said.

"Awesome! Alright let's go." Mira said before turning to Cana. "Done with your laughing fit yet?"

Cana stood up and snickered, grinning evilly. "For now."

"You aren't going to cause any problems for poor Natsu will you?"

"Him? Nooooo." She said, an evil grin on her face.

Mirajane sighed and smiled. "This will be an interesting day."

Read. Review. Moo.

So, I am now considering to put Mira into the harem. why? Well, with her caring motherly personality, she is GREAT girlfriend material. She is a huge part in Natsu's recovery and while yes, I can put her into the sisterly/motherly role... I really like the idea of her being in the harem as another anchor for Natsu.

If you read any of my stories in DxD, I am VERY skilled with harems and this is one of the smallest harems ive done.

Again, I do take opinions by my readers sedriosuly, but it IS my story and MY choice.
