Chapter Fifty: A letter to someone in need
Nagura watched everyone from her table where she, along with Tom sat at. The swordswoman sighed as she saw her mother Kagura talking to her two other moms Erza and Millianna. The dark purple haired woman knew that they were no doubt trying to help comfort one another due to what happened.
Tom noticed his sister's facial expression, and couldn't help but be worried about her.
"Nagura, are you alright?" The future son of Natsu and Millianna ask the future daughter of Natsu and Kagura, getting her attention as she looked at her brother.
"Yeah, I'm alright, it's just…," Nagura looked back at her mother, before looking to see their father Natsu helping out with making sure everyone had food and warmth along with their other siblings Angelica, Layla, Sans, Maria, Hara, and Yuge, "I guess… I guess I just don't like the whole situation at the moment at the moment." She told Tom.
Tom was confused by his sister's words though. What did the woman with dark purple hair with the few strands of pink mean by that?
"What do you mean?" The brown haired cat-like male questioned. Nagura looked back to her brother.
"What I mean is that I hate how everything has ended up this way!" She exclaimed in anger, startling her brother a little by her raised voiced. No one else seemed to hear her though, which was good as he didn't want anyone to pay attention to their discussion, "When we first arrived here in the past, I figured we would just meet our past parents, find each other, then find a way home. Why did the Legion have to follow? Why did the demons attack the places they attack?" Her voice increase volume at that sentence, but she went on before Tom could say anything, "Why did the Legion take away more of our parent's friends?! Why did we lose our Uncle in this attack?! Why… tell me why did… ANY of this had to happen?!"
Tom didn't really know what to say as Nagura took in deep breaths after saying her words. What could he say? He couldn't simply say the right words to help cheer his sister up. He was awful at these kinds of things. All he knows is how to sneak around and fight.
"I'm sorry," Nagura spoke once more in a quieter tone, getting his full attention once more, "I guess this whole thing is just getting to me." She admitted, as both she and Tom were unaware of a certain swordswoman walking up to them.
"There's nothing to be sorry about Nagura." Both Nagura and Tom jumped in surprised by the sudden new voice. The two turned to see Kagura standing next to where Nagura was sitting.
"Mother?" Nagura spoke in surprised to see her mother standing there all of a sudden. Kagura proceeded to take a seat next to both her future daughter and Millianna's future son.
"I understand what you mean," Kagura started to speak, getting the full attention of both Nagura and Tom, "With everything that happens in out lives, we can't help but wonder why the things that took place happen. We can't help but wonder why anything that goes wrong continues to do so," The swordswoman of Mermaid Heel then looked at her and Natsu's future daughter with a soft smile, which was rare since this was Kagura we're talking about, "But, while all of this is true, that doesn't mean that we should let it get to us. No matter how worse things may get, we must press onward. If not for our own, then for everyone that we care about. If we give up, then things will only worsen. But if we raise our heads up and never back down, then one day we may finally put all of these horrible things behind us, and make sure that these horrors will never happen again." Kagura finished talking as she looked at the two future children with a soft smile.
Both Nagura and Tom couldn't help but smile at the swordswoman's words. She was right. While they may never know why the things that happen to them happen, that doesn't mean that they should let it hold them back from pressing onward. If not for their own sake, then it would be for everyone.
The future daughter of Natsu and Kagura then hugged her mother, who was caught off guard by the sudden action, before she returned the gesture.
"Thank you mother," Nagura spoke as she pulled away from the hug to look at Kagura properly, "You really do know what to say don't you?" She replied to her with a smile.
"Well, I would be lying if I said I learned that on my own." Kagura admitted as he turned around to look at a certain pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer, who was still helping out with the others. Both Nagura and Tom also smiled brightly as they too watched their father helping out.
As they watched, Yuge continued to provide fresh water to the citizens who were thirty as Hara helped out with him.
"…You know something just occurred to me." The future son of Natsu and Juvia started to speak, getting the future daughter of Natsu and Hara's to look at her blue haired brother.
"Yeah Yuge?" The white haired woman questioned back at the Water-based wizard.
"We're still in the past." He answered her, which only confused Hara.
"What do you mean?" She questioned once again as she handled a glass of water to a citizen at a table.
"Well I mean is that it feels like we've been here for like… a year." The blue haired half demon male replied back to the half demon woman while handing out more fresh water to the Era citizens.
"But we've only been here for a couple of days." Hara pointed out.
"I know right?" The blue haired male responded back.
Before the two could continue their conversation, the doors of the building were open to see Marcel and Rose pushing a… piano? Not only that, but the future son of Natsu and Kamika and the future daughter of Natsu and Cosmos also were carrying a guitar for some reason. This got everyone in the room's attention, the mages, the guards, the citizens, everyone were now looking at them.
It didn't take long for the black haired male and the pink haired female to push the piano to an open spot in the building near the center of the room.
"Ah, there we go!" Marcel exclaimed happily, with Rose also smiling happily at their progress. They were worried that they wouldn't find any instruments in the city since, well since the city was mostly in ruin due to the whole Legion attack.
"Uh, guys?" Hearing someone calling them, they turned to see their dad Natsu, as well as their own mothers behind them, and they looked confused, "What are you two doing?" The pink haired male questioned to his two future kids.
Both Marcel and Rose simply grinned that looked a lot like Natsu's own grins at their father's words.
"Easy!" Rose started to speak, getting everyone in the room to pay attention, "We're going to play something to help lighten the mood up!" She exclaimed happily. This got everyone else though to be a bit surprised.
"You are?" Kamika questioned in surprise.
"Yup! Now go take a seat while we get started!" Marcel told them as both he and Rose went to get ready with the instruments.
Natsu, as well as all the women, the younger mages, the siblings, and basically everyone from Era guards to normal citizens only looked at the two future siblings as they discuss about doing something. Rose frowned for a moment as Marcel whispered in her ear about what to play before smiling again, liking the choice since it was not completely metal.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen, please relax and listen well as we start!" Rose exclaimed happily as she took a seat on the piano. Marcel simply picked up his guitar as he got into position.
The rest of the future siblings could only wonder in confusion as they saw their brother and sister getting ready for whatever they were about to do. Marcel simply gave Rose the green light in the form of a thumb up, as she grinned once more.
The next thing everyone knew, the beautiful sound of a piano filled the air as Rose started to play the large instrument. The music though picked up as Marcel joined in the music with his guitar.
And then that's when the future son of Natsu and Kamika started to sing.
Marcel:
Let go of the past
That you think controls you
You're stronger because
Of what you been through
Never assume, never assume
That you have no place to return to
Just remember your life has value
Everyone, aside from the other siblings, was surprised to hear the words that came from the black haired male's mouth. He sang so amazing. Kamika couldn't help but be shocked that her future son would be able to sing, the same goes for Natsu. They couldn't continue to think as Rose then started to sing from her seat in front of the piano.
Rose:
The sadness that you have push through
Has never stopped you, never stopped you
The tears that consumed you have never stopped you
So why give up now
When you have almost broke through
Marcel:
You have the strength to do anything
The trials that you faced has brought you down
Like the force of gravity
But you stood anyway
You believed and fought
You're much more than you give credit for
Let go of the past
That you think controls you
You're stronger because
Of what you been through
Never assume, never assume,
That you have no place to return to
Just remember your life has value
Many of the people in the building couldn't help but enjoy what they were listening too. They have never heard of a song like this before, even if it may be of rock origins. Natsu and the other women, especially Kamika and Cosmos, couldn't believe how much talent the two future kids had in both singing and playing instruments. The rest of the future children merely smiled at seeing their brother and sister helping to cheer everyone up through their music.
Rose:
Sometimes it hurts to remember
But don't ever forget, don't ever forget
Because one day you will look back
On this struggle
To remember it's you who made it home
Natsu couldn't help but smile as he listened to the words of the song. If you asked him, this song that Marcel and Rose were playing fitted him. He honestly would have never though that he would one day have the love and support that he has now from the women he loves, and the support of the others through this whole adventure.
Marcel:
Remember
That you
Made it through
So let go
So let go
Let go of the past
That you think controls you
You're stronger because
Of what you've been through
Never assumed, never assumed
That you have no place to return to
Just remember that your life has value
The music ended as both Marcel and Rose has ceased their music playing, and everyone in the room couldn't help but applaud the two future kids of Natsu, Kamika, and Cosmos. Both Marcel and Rose couldn't help but grin as they waved at the clapping crowd.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Rose exclaimed back to the happy citizens and guards as she and Marcel simply waved back at everyone.
Both of the future kids saw their mothers and father as they waved at them with giant smiles. Natsu, Kamika, and Cosmos couldn't help but smile back at them, seeing their smiles got them to be happy. Guess being parents seeing their kids doing something like this can make them happy, even if the future children haven't been born yet in the present time.
Many of the women present couldn't help but think of that thought. One day, they will give birth to these kids, with Natsu being the father of all of them. But yet, even if some of them don't fully understand it, that thought wasn't that bad. The only thing they could do is to look into the future and prepare for it.
For everyone here, the time of moping was over. They will face whatever new challenges they will come across head on.
And they will overcome.
Here you all go. So what do you think? Let me know if you like it or think I should remove my kidney for making this.
The song is called "A letter to someone in need" by Diamonds to Dust.
See you all next time, whenever that will be.
