(Natsu POV)
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" I yelled as I suddenly realized something, "Who the fuck is this guy and the chick? Why are they here!?" I asked as I saw a very tall man and a somewhat tall woman walking with us and wondered who exactly the fuck they were.
Kurayami spoke in their defense, saying, "This is Gōsuto's old partner, Raitonekusasu and his wife Tsume. They just joined us yesterday."
I nodded my head looking at the man and his wife, "So you were Gōsuto's partner? What kind of magic do you use? Oi! Gōsuto, he should be pretty strong, right?"
Raitonekusasu nodded and said, "I'm a light magic user, and yes I was the fighting specialist back in the day, all ranges. They call me the Light of The…"
"Light of The Dead." I said and looked at him. He had quite the reputation, "Yeah your strong enough to be a Ronin. Welcome aboard. Kurayami. Is 'The Castle' ready for us?" I ask as I look ahead and see our base of operations, a place I call 'The Castle', which is actually Kurayami's old hideout that he abandoned when he got married. What better place to run our operations than the place another former criminal who never once got caught used?
"Yes. Honey," He said as looked at his wife, "when we get there could you make some food for everyone? I have much to discuss with these young ones. Igneel already knows everything, as does Natsu and Lucy I'm guessing. Igneel! Go and make the necessary… preparations around the area! I'll tell them everything!" Kurayami said as we arrived at the mansion. Igneel nodded and flew away, looking back at me and Lucy, smirking as he did. The mansion grounds were big enough to actually house him but he apparently needed to do some things outside of town.
"Yoosh! To the meeting room everyone! Luce, have Virgo prepare the rooms for Rai and his family. The same for the one called… Rames, right Esoj?" He nodded and I continued, "Right, one for Rames and his wife, and one for E.J.. Alright, kids the adults need to talk so why don't you… Um, Rai, who the fuck is that?" We all looked and saw a small girl following right behind Rai, looking very shy and intimidated by everyone.
"Oh, Mai! There you are! Hey no need to go and look for Gōsuto anymore, I found him. Since you don't need to be looking for him why don't you take care of the kids? We'll be busy for a while." Rai said and she nodded and walked away with a smile now on her face.
She stopped in front of us and said in a very quiet voice, "Hello, I am Rai's younger sister, Mai. I am sorry for not showing myself before but I couldn't tell who you were, I am very shy but I can do housework, so I hope I can be of use. Arigato." Shy was an understatement. I think Wendy when she first joined Fairy Tail was more outgoing and loud than this girl.
"Of course, just do as Rai said and then we'll talk more later. Virgo! Add another room to the list!" Lucy called out to Virgo who peeked her head out a window and nodded.
"Any punishment princess?" She called back and Lucy and I both groan.
"NO! YOU ARE NEVER IN ANY NEED OF PUNISHMENT SO STOP ASKING!" We both yelled at her, at which she nodded and went back inside. We looked back and saw Mai and Gōsuto looking at each other, their faces stuck in soft, small grins. We both raised an eyebrow at this and looked at Rai, who looked very, very annoyed by the interaction.
"Hi Mai. Been a while." Gōsuto said and Mai nodded, continuing to smile at him.
"Ahem. Don't you have kids to look after?" Rai asked and Mai jumped a little before running off to watch the kids, with Gōsuto's mom behind them.
Then Tsume hits Rai on the head and says, "Leave them alone! She's old enough to do what she wants. She can love whoever she wants. WHOEVER."
He rubbed his head and sighed, saying, "I know, I just want her to be safe. Oi, Gōsuto you better treat her right! Or I'll kill you!" Gōsuto looked at him blushing a little as he nodded and watched Mai leave the group.
"Ok, enough dawdling! Let's go already!" I said impatiently and they all jumped a bit and nodded, walking quickly into the meeting room. We arrive and everyone takes a seat except for Kurayami and me, "Ok so we found something out, and it's pretty big. Kurayami if you will."
"You forgot already, huh boss?" Esoj asked me and I sighed.
"Yes." I said earning a groan from everyone.
"Sit back down. Geez and you guys let him lead you? Geez it's a miracle you guys are even alive still." Kurayami said as I sat down. He sighed and continued, saying, "Right, as we all know the current whereabouts of Zeref are unknown, and the only people who do are with Zeref right now. So just about no one. There is one person who does however. And we found him, his name is Chun Fay. He is also known as The Index, he knows just about everything there is to know and he's been known to work for dark guilds. Most recently, however, he was seen working with a man fitting the description of Zeref himself. He was last seen in Boa and was seen there with the guy who might actually be Zeref. Fay is not a very strong fighter but is able to use his brain to just outsmart people, which is why he's never been caught before. We need to find him soon, before he gets the chance to move again. Also, we know he will be there in Boa for at least another two weeks, he's looking for something, my sources tell me. Something that Zeref wants, and he's not gonna leave until he either finds it or his time is up there. Apparently he can't stay in any one place too long or his brain begins to hurt, something about stupidity rubbing off on him, so he is always moving. So here's the plan, someone is going to go to Boa and capture him, once they do that they will bring him back here. Once here, Gōsuto and I will interrogate him using our magic. We can cause him to experience immense amounts of vivid, mind shattering nightmares and other sorts of mental torture. Once we secure the information of what he's looking for, we'll find it ourselves and use it to lure out Zeref, at which point we will use Lumen Historie and then defeat Zeref. Any questions?" He said finishing his report, his sources truly amazing me. How he knew all these people who were always in the know amazed me. Guess you make a lot of friends when you don't burn down every town you visit…
"Yeah, I do. Who will be going? We shouldn't all go and some of us will need to be here to help contain Lumen Historie, so that takes Nena and I out, and Gōsuto has to stay as he is holding it in his dimensions. So that leaves Natsu, Lucy, and Rai. Who will volunteer?" Esoj asked and we all looked at one another.
"Luce and I will. Rai will need the rest, as do all of you, plus we can ride Igneel and get there pretty quickly. Ok? Ok. Now. What does he look like?" I asked and Kurayami handed me a file, I opened it and saw what he looked like. Man was he ugly! "Ok, we'll leave tomorrow in the morning. Everyone we are close now to the end. I don't know how it will end but we should be ok as long as we fight together as a team. I can't promise you guys anything other than people to lean on and people you can call family. I know that we will always be family and nakama. Let us remember our promise to the world and to each other. Join me in the chant!" I said as everyone nodded and smiled at my words, feeling reassured of ourselves now.
"THOUGH WE MAY HAVE NO TRUE HOME WE ARE NEVER ALONE! THOUGH NO ONE MAY WANT US WILL DO WHAT IS NEEDED! THOUGH NO ONE MAY APPRECIATE WHAT WE DO WE WILL ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING! WE ARE THE FORSAKEN, THE FORGOTTEN, THE LOST, WE ARE THE RONIN! DEATH TO OUR ENEMIES AND TO THE EVER LASTING GLORY THAT AWAITS US IN THE FUTURE. LIVE! FIGHT! LIVE AND FIGHT FOREVER!" We yelled as loudly as possible, almost causing the room to shake, something that caused all of us to smile at one another. We stood and saluted one other and left one by one, before it was just Lucy and me alone in the room.
"So what are we going to do exactly when this is over? I mean it's not like we can just go back anymore; the guild won't accept us anymore. And it's not like we can all stay together like this, Esoj and Nena will go home, as will Rai, and Gōsuto is going to stay here with his family and Mai, hopefully. So what about us? I know we said we are those without a home and are ok with it, but can we really live like this? I know I don't want to, I want a family and a regular life, well as regular a life a mage can have." She said and I pulled her into a hug and kissed her forehead soothingly, and she asked me, "What do you want Natsu?"
"I want to live a life that includes you and hopefully many little Natsu's and Luce's running around. I want a life where I can work and then come home to you and my family. I want exactly what you want Luce. I want a normal life. But I don't know if we'll ever get that anymore. We both have done many things that have gained us a reputation, a reputation that will never leave us and will force us to either go to jail or be chased forever. There is no escape from this fate anymore, we did what was right. But we also knew that in doing so, we would forever doom ourselves to this fate. I'm sorry Luce…" I paused as I felt tears stain my eyes, "I'm sorry that I dragged you into this and have ruined our chance at a good life, the life that you wanted so desperately wanted. I'm so sorry Luce." I then felt a hand slap me in the face and I looked to see Lucy crying as well, as she looked at me.
"Baka! I chose this life. I know it may not be what I always wanted, but as long as I'm with you, I don't care. I love you more than anything in my life. It's why I chased after you, I refused to believe you could hurt me, and guess what? I was right, you could never hurt me and you never will. I love you, I love you Natsu Dragneel. And that's why I want exactly what we have now, I want life to be with you, and I always want to stay by your side, I never want to leave your side." She said as the tears came down and I pulled her back into the hug, sobbing quietly with her as we both tried to display just how much we loved each other.
****** SHORT LEMON*****
I pulled back and gave her a kiss so passionate and full of love, I can feel my soul pour into her and I pull her onto my lap. We sit like this for a while, just kissing softly and letting the emotions pour out of us. I pull her up as I stand up, and carry her to our room and see that Virgo already put the mattress on the bed. I lay her down on the bed and claim her lips once again, and poke my tongue out seek entrance to her mouth. She opens up as she slides her skirt off and I shimmy out of my pants, and my boxers as well. I fell just how hard I am, feel her rub her hips against me and I swear I see stars from the friction. I groan into her mouth and I work my way from her mouth to her jaw line, planting kisses everywhere I went and sucking at the junction of her shoulder and neck, leaving a mark and causing her to moan loudly.
I sit up a bit and take off my shirt as she does the same, undoing her bra as well. I lean back down and I pick her up and line my cock up with her vagina, and quickly push in and start groping her breasts, licking and sucking on her right one as my left hand massages her breasts roughly. I pump into her and build a steady pace, hitting her g-spot every time causing her to moan loudly and she grabs at my hair, grabbing fistfuls of my hair.
"Faster Natsu! Faster!" She moaned and I oblige, pumping faster and harder than before, hard enough to where I know she won't be able to walk right tomorrow. I begin to feel my stomach coil and I know I'm close, and so is she as both yell each other's names as loudly as we can and I feel her inner walls tighten around me as she comes, me following right after. I thrust a few more times before I know I'm empty and I slump down next to her and pull out. We get comfortable and look each other in the eyes and I kiss her forehead before I pull her tightly against me.
We both drift towards sleep, as I hold her in my arms and I whisper in her ear, "I love you Luce."
She whispers back, almost fully asleep, "I love you too Natsu."
