Chapter 9
"I'm still hungry" Happy complained
"Well if someone didn't make me drop my suit case in the river we could have eaten all the food in the world" Erza complained
"I'm sorry but you were lagging behind and may I add YOU WOULD'VE DROWNED" Lucy yelled
"Here" Natsu said grabbing a bag of fish
"Fish...wait I'm still mad" happy said crossing his arm
"Alright I guess i will eat this all by myself" Natsu said faking putting fish in his mouth.
"I forgive you" happy said stealing the fish from Natsu's hand
"Natsu" happy said worriedly while eating the fish
"Yeh what's up?" Natsu asked happy
"You went in water" happy said worriedly
"Yeh so what" Natsu said still walking behind the group with happy
"Your scars" happy whispered to Natsu
"Shit" natsu yelled out
"What's wrong?" Erza asked urgently
"Ermmm nothing" Natsu said rubbing the back of his hair while laughing
"Why did you yell?" Lucy asked
"Hahaha no reason" natsu said laughing
"So did you guys make up?" Lucy asked
"Yeh we sure did" Natsu said nervously hoping that no one will see his scar. All of a sudden a rustle from the bush was heard everyone stopped dead in their tracks.
Natsu lit his hands in flames, Gray lit his hand in ice, Erza was holding onto her sword and Lucy was holding on to her key.
"Come out" Erza yelled. A black figure came out.
"Give us the man" the figure said calmly. He was wearing a hood.
"Who the hell are you?" Gray asked
"My name is ash and I want the man" Ash said
"Well your not getting him" Lucy said
"Wait" Natsu said quietly. He started to walk towards Ash.
"OI flame brain get back here" Gray said
"I said wait" Natsu said harshly and quiet scarily.
"Ash" Natsu said
"Natsu" ash said
"Wait you kno-" Lucy stated but the she was hushed by happy and Erza
"What are you doing?" Natsu asked Ash
"We want you Natsu" ash said calm but demanding
"Why are you after this man?" Erza asked
"We are not after him. We are only here to collect Natsu dragneel" Ash said
"Why do you want Natsu?" Erza asked demanding an answer. She walked beside Natsu.
"That is not your business" ash said harshly
"What the hell do you want?" Natsu said pissed at seeing him.
Flashback
"Ash vs Aki" the guard yelled
Ash was throwing fire punches at Aki and used her water bending to protect herself but then one hit her in the chest.
"Die" ash said then he repeatedly punched her.
"Stop it you bastard" Natsu yelled out running towards her. Ash stood their with no emotion. The team followed him.
"Natsu" Aki said
"Stop the match" Aeron yelled out and walked towards them
"I will let her live just this once" Aeron said then he walked back to his torturing chamber
"I'm gonna kill that bastard" Natsu said under his breath.
Flashback end
"I need you to follow us" ash said
"Like hell I would" Natsu said
"I recognise him. His the one who follows me" Osamu said scared
"Why have you been following him?" Natsu asked
"I needed him to contact the guild you were in" ash said.
"Why do you need me?" Natsu asked harshly. Erza, Gray and Lucy were very confused.
"We must finish what we started" ash said
"Hahaha you seriously expect me to go with your guys especially when you beat the crap out of her with no mercy" natsu said sarcastically
"You did the same thing" ash said getting annoyed
"Yeh but I showed mercy" Natsu said. Natsu's friends never saw him like this. Natsu had guilt in his eyes.
"I will take you by force" ash said getting into a fighting stance. Natsu also got into a fighting stance.
Ash threw fire at Erza. Erza didn't have to attack and she was hit which knocked her out.
"Weak" ash said throwing a large rock towards Lucy. But Gray pushed Lucy out of the way and it hit Gray instead. Ash threw a fire ball at Lucy which hit her. Natsu didn't have time to react. They were still conscious but they couldn't move. Ash put a type of poison in each of his attacks. His fire were poison which only paralyses the person for a short period of time.
"How the hell?" Natsu yelled at him.
"I'm full of spiritual energy" ash said
"Your a real asshole" Natsu said throwing a punch at ash which connected with Ash's face. Ash kicked Natsu in the gut. Both kept throwing punches and kicks some were blocked but some did intersect with the person.
"Enough" Natsu yelled
"Fire dragon roar" Natsu yelled and aimed it at ash. Ash dodged it and took out knives which were dipped in poison. This poison was different. It sucks the persons magic.
"Natsu" Lucy yelled out
One knife went into Natsu's shoulder.
"Ahhhhh" Natsu yelled out in pain
"Natsu" Gray,Erza and Lucy yelled out
"Stop hurting the boy" Osamu said. He stood in front of Natsu.
"What the he get out of the way!" Natsu yelled out. But the knives were thrown towards the man. Each hitting the mans body.
"Oi stay with us" Natsu said crying. They had never seen Natsu cry.
"Take this letter and put it at her grave" Osamu said taking out the letter and his eyes closed forever.
"I'm going to kill you" Natsu's said standing up. His eyes glowed dark red. His arm started to have tattoo and it glowed. A blood red colour. Natsu stood up ignoring the pain in his arm. Natsu could feel the poison taking his magic away but he didn't care.
"Natsu" happy whispered in fear. He was trying to help the others.
Natsu ran towards ash and punched and kicked him. Ash was on the ground bleeding.
"How do you the tattoos?" Ash asked but then coughed up blood
"I've been through hell. That was Aki's father" Natsu whispered to him.
"Kill me" ash said
"Don't worry I will" Natsu growled
"Natsu" Erza yelled out. She was standing. Her forehead was bleeding. Gray also stood up his arm was bruised. Lucy was standing up with the help of Gray since her ankle was broken.
"You're not a killer" happy yelled out to natsu.
"Yes you are" ash said
"We all are" ash finished off
"I'm not a killer" Natsu said. Tears started to ran down his face.
"Natsu" Lucy was frightened. She had never seen Natsu cry like this in fact she had never seen Natsu threaten someone's life and actually mean it.
"Lucy" Natsu whispered. His eyes kept flashing from red to his normal colour.
"Impossible" ash yelled. "Kill me". Natsu stood up.
"You can't handle the fact that I've changed" Natsu said. The tattoo faded away.
"Go back to the house and tell her what happened then go back to the guild" Natsu demanded. He voice sounded dead but angry.
"How about you Natsu?" Happy asked
"I'm taking Osamu" Natsu said
"And him" Erza said still traumatised by what just happened.
"I will take care off him" Natsu said coldly.
"Go now" Natsu yelled. Everyone was to scared to argue with Natsu even Erza was frightened by Natsu's current state.
They walked away reluctantly.
"Natsu" happy said
"Don't worry I'll be fine" Natsu said to happy. Happy followed the others.
He bent down to ash.
"The reason why is didn't kill you is because I can tell something is wrong with you. You have a demon in you" Natsu said to ash
"How did you know?" Ash said shocked
"I have one to" Natsu said
"How did you fight it?" Ash said tears falling down his face.
"I though about my friends and Aki. Even though she's dead I can still hear her voice. I can hear all my friends voice" Natsu said. "But every time I get angry it takes control over me" Natsu said
"Did Aeron do this?" Ash said cying
"Yeh he did it to 20 of us and he even gave more to some people" Natsu said
"Kill me. I don't want this thing in me" ash said crying
"That's won't help any one. You have 2 choices. 1 is you live with the demon and you control it. 2 is you give it to me" Natsu said looking down
"Why do you want" ash asked shocked
"I don't want it. I don't even want this one. But I can control it. I don't want people like you to lose hope" Natsu said.
"Then teach me" ash said sitting up.
"What?" Natsu looked shocked
"Teach me. Even though I had this thing longer I still need to be taught" ash said
"I know you hate me for what I did bu-" ash started to say
"I don't hate you anymore. When my arms glowed it shows me who has demons and who doesn't. It also gives me other things. Anyone who has a demon in them has this tattoo to symbolise that we are brother. Now That I know you had this thing in you when you beat my girlfriend makes it even harder for me to hate you" Natsu said.
"We live with the same burden" ash said
"Yeh" Natsu said
"Ahh" Natsu yelled out in pain.
"Shit I forgot about your arm" ash said
"Don't wor-" Natsu started to say but stopped when he felt a pain soot through his whole body
" I can take it out" ash said. He used his water bending to take out the poison. He also took out the knife.
"I can't help with the wound" ash said looking disappointed
"It's fine" Natsu said. He could feel his magic power returning.
"So what now?" Ash said looking at the ground
"First we take him to his daughters grave" Natsu said carrying Osamus body.
"I can teleport us their" ash said
"What demon did he put in you?" Natsu asked shocked at his power
"I don't know" ash said sadly
"Don't worry teleport me here" Natsu said taking out his map.
Grave
"I feel sick" Natsu said
"Motion sickness?" Ash asked a vomiting natsu.
"Yep" Natsu said feeling better. Natsu dug up a hole and placed Osamus body .
"Wasn't Aki's bo-" ash said but then stopped when Natsu gave him a glare
"It's a fake grave. They do this to feel relief" Natsu said and then buried Osamus put the letter at Aki's grave.
" now that this is done. I will teach you. Follow me" natsu said walking into the forest.
