Author note: thank you for your reading and reviews, here it goes chapter 6

Last time

He was barely conscious and he said "Mira, you came for me" and then he passed out. Mira caught him in her arms hugging him and said "I am sorry for everything that happened to you, it is my entire fault, please be alright, I don't want to lose you too, you are very important to me, I don't want to lose you. I promise that I will listen to what you have to say, every single word"

Let's start:

Mira didn't wait for the others, she transformed into her Satan Soul and toke Natsu back to the guild and there sand Jet to get Porlyusica to help heal Natsu. She put him on one of the beds in the infirmary and waited for the healer to come. Meanwhile she tended him the best she could. When the healer arrived she asked Mira to leave. Mira did as she was asked and went to the guild hall. While sitting there she remembered something that happened one day ago when she encountered an old lady

Flashback

Mira was at the grocery and the shop keeper asked her: "What troubles you, young one?" "My best friend says that he loves me, just after he has been in love with my sister. I think that he is tries to replace her with me just after her death. I mean he didn't shed a single tear for her at the funeral; he was sad like the all of us but not as lover should be. He acted like he lost a friend, not his love of his life. I don't know what to do…" Mira responded "Are you sure that he was in love with your sister?" said the old lady "Why are you asking me that? He was very close to her. Why would he be that close to her if he was not in love with her?" said Mira and the old lady started to laugh "Why are you laughing?" asked Mira frustrated "Ok, I will tell you. He was doing all of that because he wanted to be close to you and this was probably his only way. Wasn't it?"Asked the old lady "Yes but…" "No buts, young one, you have to do everything you can to be close to the one you love, even if that means that you have to something that may look bad in other people's eyes. That is real love, and by the way, from how you described it, he really loves you with all his heart, and if you want my advice, I say don't lose a love like this because it may never occur again" responded the old lady "I will think about it" said Mira and left the shop.

End of flashback

'Maybe I should give him a chance, who knows, maybe he can make me fall in love with him' Mira was brought out of her thoughts by Porlyusica "I am finished curing his wounds. From now on all depends on him; he is in a state of coma. When or if he recovers depends on his own will. Now I will go home, call me if anything changes" finished Porlyusica. Then Mira went to the infirmary to watch over Natsu and hoped that he would wake up soon.

The days passed and Natsu remained in the same state, Mira didn't leave his bed in the infirmary. And when all seemed to be lost, he woke from his coma. And he saw Mira there sleeping with her head on his chest "Mira!" he said slowly to wake her from her sleep. "Natsu, you are awake" she said with tears of joy in her eyes and then she hugged him. "Agh, it hurts" said Natsu in pain "Sorry, I was just happy that you are awake form your coma after so many days, I will go and tell everyone that you are ok and I will be back, ok?" Said Mira, with a smile on her face. "No, I want to talk to you first and then you can tell everyone" responded Natsu. "Ok, I will listen what you have to tell me" said Mira and she took a place next to him. "When I said to you that 'I love you' I wanted to tell you that I love you from the day I have met you. I have never had other feelings for Lissana or other girls beside friendship, but for you is love, that kind of love that makes me want to be with you, to protect you, to hold you forever. I realized that I love you the next day, but I never had the courage to tell you and you would never let me to get close to you. I know that what I did by letting Lissana get close to me was wrong, but it was the only way for me to stay a little closer to you. I know that I acted like a jerk, but I was desperate back then and I am sorry for letting her think that it will be more between us. I'm asking you to give me a chance to make you love me the way I love you. I don't care how many months or years will take me, I will do anything you ask me to do. So, please, will you give me a chance to make you the happiest woman in the world?" finished Natsu his confession, which started a few days ago. Mira took a large breath and said "Natsu, first, I am sorry for the way I acted the other day. I shouldn't have slapped you and insulted you. I know now that your feelings are pure, from the bottom of your heart and they are sincere as well. Secondly, I am willing to give you a chance to make me fall in love with you, but please be patient with me, all I'm asking you is for us go slow. I need time to make my feelings grow for you, because I stopped them from growing for Lissana's sake. If I haven't done that, I will probably be in love with you right now. So, in conclusion, I say that we go from guilds mates to friends, then to best friends, then we will form a team, just the two of us, well three if you count Happy, and then after some time we can go on dates and become lovers. Are you fine with that?" "Are you kidding me, of course I am fine with that, I am more than fine, I am happy" said Natsu with a big smile on his face. "Can I ask you where are we just now?" Natsu asked Mira about the status of their relationship. "We are best friends right now, but after you are healthy enough to go on a mission, we will became a team, and our team name should be Demon-Dragon, what do you say?" said Mira "Yes, and you can go and tell the others that I am ok now. Could you bring me something to eat please, beautiful?" said Natsu "Ok, I will go and tell the others and bring you the food. Thanks for the compliment, if this is your way to make me love you, keep it going, you started well" said Mira, then kissed him on the cheek and left the infirmary.

At the guild hall "Natsu is ok and awake, he asked me to bring him something to eat" said Mira and went to the kitchen and started to prepare some food for Natsu, which he ate and complimented her. Later that day Porlyusica consulted him and she said that he would be in action after a few more days. After some days he was again in action, he and Mira formed Demon-Dragon team which proved to be the best team. Two years passed since then and Natsu's love for Mira had increased. He always did something romantic towards Mira, like complimenting her beauty, calling her princess or bringing her gifts, which consisted of flowers or candies. Mira's feelings for Natsu had been growing to love, but she had never confessed her feelings for him because she wasn't able to get over the guilt towards her sister's ghost. But she knew that some day she had to confess her feelings for him, for the sake and happiness of booth of them.

Now Mira and Natsu are at the station

"Maybe with this mission we will obtain two things: find your father and catch Bora. It will be perfect, don't you think, Natsu?" asked Mira

"Yes, it will be perfect, princess" responded Natsu
