Chapter 4: Getting to know you

An hour later, Miroku, Sango, and Kilala are in Kaede's hut and there wounds are finished being treated, though they weren't completely healed and were still unconscious after the fierce and intense battle with Natsu Dragneel. Meanwhile, Kagome has brought Natsu, Happy, Shippo, and Inuyasha lunch that her mother cooked from her timeline.

"Here you go guys, I hope you're hungry." Kagome said with a warm smile.

"YEAH!" Both Happy and Shippo chimed happily.

"ALRIGHT! FOOD!" Natsu exclaimed cheerfully, him and happy have been gobbling down the rice, sushi, fried octopus, and rice balls, Kagome giggled a little as she watched them shovel down the food in their mouths. It began to fly and splatter on inuyasha and shippo.

"Hey, slow down, would ya?" Shippo asked rhetorically.

"OI! WOULD YA QUIT EATIN' LIKE A BUCNH OF PIGS?!" Inuyasha spat.

"Like you have room to talk inuyasha." Kagome interjected as inuyasha snorted in response, then he continued eating his ramen. "Alright guys, slow down." Kagome said kindly with a small smile. Natsu and happy then swallowed all the food that they shoved in their mouths.

"Sorry, the food your mom made was so good I couldn't help myself." Natsu replied as he patted his stomach.

"You really like it?" Kagome asked in awe.

"Aye! Your mother's cooking is really tasty!" Happy replied cheerfully. They then started to hear moaning and turned around to see Miroku, Sango, and Kilala regaining consciousness. "Miroku, Sango, how do you feel?" Kagome asked nicely.

"My ribs hurt and my head's still spinning, but I'm just fine." Miroku replied

"The same with me. And my right arm still burns, but I'm okay." Sango reassured with a smile.

"Yo, good to see that you're finally awake." Natsu said with a grin, they then turned their attention towards natsu and happy and gave them surprised looks.

"YOU!" Both Miroku and Sango exclaimed and Kilala started growling and hissing, before holding their ribs and grimacing in pain. "Don't move, ye's wounds haven't completely healed yet." Kaede said as she walked in the hut. "And there's nothing to worry about, the boy's not ye's enemy."

"He's not?" Sango asked in a puzzled tone. Then Kaede explained to them about him fighting and defeating two dragon youkai, and natsu and happy explained about the dragon slayer magic.

"I see…"Miroku trailed off. "Then we apologize for trying to harm you." He apologized meekly while bowing.

"It's cool, sorry for wailing out on you guys like that, I get a little carried away." Natsu replied while scratching at the back of his head and grinning sheepishly.

"Don't worry, we've been through worse than this." Sango said with a slight chuckle, Kilala then walked up to natsu and rubbed her head on his leg and purred. "I think kilala likes you natsu."

"I think so too." Natsu replied as he scratched under her chin, making her purr louder. He then went back to eating, along with happy, as soon as they finished eating, they notice everyone staring at him. "What's everyone staring at? Do I have something on me?" He asked curiously.

"Why don't you try closing that damn thing so it won't be showing off your chest?!" Inuyasha spat. "And take off that dumb ass scarf while you're at it!" What Inuyasha didn't had it coming was a fist to the face, everyone stood there in shock as natsu grabbed him by his kimono, lifts him up in the air and gave him a fearsome glare.

"HELL NO YOU FLEA BITTEN BASTARD! IT'S THE SCARF THAT MY DAD GAVE TO ME BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY!" Natsu roared in anger.

"YEAH! NO NEED TO BE AN INSESNITIVE JERK!" Happy interjected. The others then gave him a look of sympathy.

"Your father gave that to you?" Kagome asked with a sympathetic tone, natsu then puts inuyasha down looked at the ground sadly

"Yeah...we grew up in a forest together."Natsu trailed off." He found me wandering there when I was a kid, took me under his wing and taught me how to talk, read write, and dragon slayer magic. He was always training me, and it was never boring since I learned something new from him everyday. But on July 7, x777, he disappeared without a trace, and I was all alone to fend for myself." Kagome's heart twisted into knots as he heard that part. "I searched everywhere for him, but I couldn't, then I ended up joining fairy tail, it was fun there and I always tussle with ice princess and the others." Natsu chuckled as he remembered the days when he fought gray and the other mages. "A couple of years later, I finally found him and he was fighting this aconolgia bastard, I asked him why he left me until…THE FUCKER KILLED HIM!" Natsu roared and tears begin to form in kagome's eyes, along with shippo's. "H-He died right in front me before I could know, if only I was strong enough i…i… I COULD'VE SAVED HIM!" Natsu finished with a shout, his hair covered his eyes and tears began to fall. Happy began to cry as well, and to their surprise, Kagome gave him a tight hug to let him know that he's not alone along with shippo.

"I'm sorry…I'm so sorry." Kagome whispered as tears began to fall from her eyes.

"I'm sorry for ye's lost my child." Kaede said sympathetically.

"I'm sorry you lost your pa natsu!" Shippo apologized as he was crying.

"It's alright…I'm okay now. And besides, I've got happy by my side." Natsu replied with a grin, and happy raised hi paw in the air and said "Aye!" They were all surprised by their change of attitude.

"Your father is quite an amazing person." Miroku intrigued.

"He does, but why was he isolated from civilization?" Sango asked intrigued.

"Well it's because they would be scared of how big and scaly he is." Natsu replied with a toothy grin.

"They would run into a fit of panic." Happy replied as the others sweat dropped at the answer.

"Did your old man look like a dragon or somethin'?" Inuyasha asked rudely.

"Nah, he doesn't look like a dragon, he is a dragon." Natsu replied calmly, they stood there silent for a moment.

"WHAT?!" They shouted in unison, except for Kaede.

"Aye! His father is the fire dragon king igneel!" Happy chimed.

"SO YOUR OLD MAN WAS A FIRE BREATHING DRAGON?!" Inuyasha asked in shock.

"Yup! That's right!" Natsu relied happily.

"Wow…talk about bizarre." Kagome said in awe

"Amazing…" Sango said in amazement

"Interesting…" Miroku replied calmly but amazed. "Ay, I see." Kaede replied calmly as well.

"SO COOL!" Shippo exclaimed in admiration.

"I KNEW IT! YOU ARE A DEMON!" Inuyasha assumed as he was getting ready to strike natsu.

"INUYASHA! SIT BOY!" Kagome shouted. WHAM! Inuyasha then came falling to the ground face first, Natsu and Happy blinked for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"LOOKS LIKE SHE'S STRONGER THAN YOU DOG EARS!" Natsu said as he was laughing.

"Shut up!" Inuyasha muffled into the ground as they continue laughing

'Inuyasha! He's not a demon, he's just a human adopted and raised by a dragon!" Kagome snapped. "Am I correct?"

"Yeah, I don't know how many times I have to keep telling this flea bag that I'm not a demon." Natsu replied nonchalantly.

"What was that dragon freak?!" Inuyasha snarled.

"You got a problem with me dog breath?!" Natsu growled as he got in inuyasha's face.

"You wanna fight?!" Inuyasha barked.

"LET'S GO!" Natsu exclaimed, the two began fighting as the others stood there uneased, except for kaede who merely sighed.

"Does this happen a lot?" Kagome asked happy.

"Aye, it happens all the time, even back at fairy tail." Happy sighed, and inuyasha was once again beaten by natsu. Miroku and Kagome were laughing nervously, Shippo was laughing mockingly and Sango just sighed

"That'll teach ya not to mess with me." Natsu said as he dusted his hands off and walks out of the hut, he then turned to see inuyasha struggling to get back on his feet. "I'm not done yet!" Inuyasha said with determination. "INUYASHA! SIT!" WHAM! Natsu and happy then laughed at the sight once again.
