A/N: Sorry for taking long in making the actual first chapter of Remember. I was trying to comprehend the situation in it.
Natsu...
Huh Natsu woke up in what seems to be a blanket that he laid upon on a pile of leaves away from the town he once called home. Whose voice was that? He picked himself up trying to comprehend his situation.
He picked up his blanket, rapidly took off the pieces of grass, dirt and leafs, rolled it, and simply put it inside his backpack that laid on a bush behind him. From his position, high up a hilltop, he watched as the town woke up from it's slumber as the sun came up. "Home.." He whispered to himself.
He quickly gazed upon the house of an orphanage. "Nashi," he smelled her scent was much farther now than it was yesterday. "Did they already adopt her?" He now ran down the hilltop and quickly met the end of a one way street.
Where is her scent gonna take me? He thought as ran down streets.
He soon ended up in the rich part of the town. Here? He gazed upon the white and blue like houses in the area. Now which one is her new home? He easily picked up her scent and followed it to the 5th house on the right side of the street in the neighborhood.
He observed for awhile from a far in an area where a large forest is inhibited by a variety of animals in Magnolia Town. The house had a pool, a nice looking garden in the front as the other houses, was also pretty big. WOOF! Were sounds of a dog that came inside the large house.
"A dog?" Natsu said as he adjusted himself between 2 bushes.
As he waited for activity to happen in the household, Natsu stomach growled. "Crap, I didn't even eat anything before I left the Guild." He quickly looked through his backpack and ransacked it. As he shook the bag upside down, a few items dropped. "Let's see here... my blanket... my compass... Lucy's locket... Aha!" Natsu grabbed what appears to be a candy bar.
"Let's see here... snickers, yes!" He tore off the wrapper, threw it in his backpack and simply ate away the chocolate bar. "Well that'll satisfy me for awhile longer-" He stopped mid-sentence and noticed the door open from Nashi's home. He leapt across from his position to the bushes to hear more clearly.
"Honey," A brunette said as she came out of the house. "I'll be back, I'm heading to the store."
The dog came out along with a tall man holding what seems to be a baby. "Nashi..." Natsu weakly said.
"Ok honey," the man kissed her goodbye, going back inside with the dog. "Come now Spike."
The woman closed the door behind her and quickly went on her way to her destination.
"Maybe... I should shadow her..." Natsu spoke to himself. He quickly got up from his spot and followed her every movements. She wore simple clothes, white blouse with a brown like jacket with black jeans and black low tops. Her hair was loose and long. She was easy for Natsu to spot.
From Magnolia's train station to the main city of Fiore, Natsu followed the mysterious woman who calls herself the new mother of his child. Now where are you going... Natsu thought as he sat 5 rows of seats behind her. As the train finally starting moving however, his motion sickness kicked in and he simply let half his body through his window puking his way into the city.
The setting quickly changed from a train's tight quarters to busy city streets filled with many people going from building to building carrying either business-like suitcases or shopping bags. Now I remember why I hardly go to cities... It's TOO DAMN CROWDED Natsu internally screamed as he battled his way into following the brunette.
She lead him to what seemed to be a shopping district of the city. What are you gonna buy? Natsu sat in the middle of the plaza that connected most of the shops.
He sat there the whole time as she went from store to store. She first entered what seemed to be a clothing store followed by a fruit market, she then went from the market to a jewelry store. Her last stop was at a furniture place. Did they adopt the baby without knowing? Natsu thought as he observed what stores the woman went to. She got out and was making her way back to the city's train station.
I should also go now Natsu followed behind her once more.
As he trailed behind her from a distance, he noticed a man approach her. A normal looking man. Now what's this... Natsu thought as he stopped and listened closely.
"Ma'am," the man lowly said. "You're gonna have to come with."
"Come with me"? Natsu repeated the last words the man said into his head. Is he a cop? Natsu kept on listening to the conversation.
"W-what?" The brunette answered the man.
"I said come with me." He pulled out a knife, and lowered it so no one could see.
What the heck? Natsu realized that the woman was in trouble. A hold up?
"Now come quietly." The brunette faced forward while the man was right behind her. He whispered her the directions and she quickly went. Natsu secretly followed them. His directions led them to an empty alley.
"Dropped the bags ma'am," The man said now exposing his knife more. "Now step back from the bags now."
She quickly took the steps. "W-what a-are you g-gonna do?" She asked.
As the man approached her, 3 other men showed as well. 1 skinny but tall, the other 2 were normal-sized but one of them was bald. "What else ma'am."
She tried to scream but one of them men held her mouth shout.
"Take her jacket off!" yelled the bald one.
"Glad-" The tall man was sent flying into the dumpster.
"What the-" The bald one was interrupted by what seemed to be a fist hitting his jaw.
"Sorry but I'm stopping this!" The pink haired man sent the bald man flying into the wall of an abandoned building.
"Who the hell are you!?" Yelled the skinny one who seemingly let go of the brunette.
The other guy hit Natsu in the face. It didn't phase Natsu. "OWW my hand! What the hell are yo-" The goon was now sent flying into the same dumpster as the other man.
"Your nowhere near to asking me that question you monsters." Natsu quickly turned to look at the last man standing.
"Eh." The last man started to run.
"Where are you going?" Natsu quickly catched up and was now in front of the man.
"WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU!?" The man yelled.
"Like I said," Natsu quickly engulfed his fist with his flame. "Your nowhere near asking me that question." Natsu punched the man straight in the face and was simply sent flying into the wall with the other man.
"That takes care of that," Natsu now walked towards the kneeling brunette. "Are you ok miss?"
"Yeah," she said while Natsu gladly helped her up. "I think so."
"You think? Or you know?" Natsu asked.
"I know." She reassured herself. She went towards her bags and picked them up. "Thank you."
"Huh?" Natsu raised an eyebrow.
"We should probably report them to the police." She suggested as she walked towards Natsu.
"Yeah."
A few minutes later after they informed the cops, they quickly left to the train station. "Thank you once again." The brunette said.
"No problem,"Natsu said. "I should probably get going now."
"Wait." She said.
"What?" Natsu stopped walking towards the train and stared back at the woman.
"Are you heading to Magnolia Town?" She asked Natsu.
"Yeah." He answered.
"Let me invite you to dinner." She proposed.
"EH?"Natsu tilted his head.
"Please?" The brunette insisted. "It's the least I kind do since you saved my life back there."
Natsu took a few seconds to think before he answered. "Fine."
"Great!" She cheerfully said. "I should tell my husband what happened. What's your name?"
"Natsu." He said.
"Oh nice." The brunette let her hand out for a handshake. "My name is Lily."
He shook her hand. "Nice to meet you Lily."
As Lily was done with her phone call to her husband, both her and Natsu took the next train to Magnolia Town. Again, overcame by his motion sickness, Natsu left half his body out the window throughout the whole ride back. Lily giggle at his sight.
They finally entered the Magnolia again. Natsu and Lily quickly got out.
"Lily!" Yelled the man with a gray coat, gray hair with khaki pants and brown shoes, from before.
"Steven!" Lily quickly yelled back. "And the baby?"
"Oh a hired a babysitter to watch her." Steven said. "Said he was from the Fairy Tail Guild?"
"From the Fairy Tail guild?" Natsu asked Steven.
"Ugh do I know you?" Steven asked Natsu.
"Honey this is the man that saved me," Lily answered. "His name is Natsu."
"Natsu? OH!" Steven quickly exclaimed.
"Yes," She turned to look at Natsu. "Right-" Natsu was nowhere to be seen now.
"Where did he go?" Steven looked around to see the pink haired man.
"I don't know..." She said. "I invited him to dinner though..."
"You did?" Steven asked.
"Yeah," Lily answered. "Anyways who was the mage?"
"His name was..."
