Hi everyone! If you are reading Master of Death in Fairy Tail, you are probably wondering why I didn't update this week. Well, this is the reason! I needed refreshment, so I'm going to be publishing this crack fic and then updating it on and off when I need something new.

As I'm sure you have noticed in the summary, this fanfic is about Natsu getting cursed by Zeref – Natsu doesn't know that Zeref is his bother yet. Each Chapter is a new curse, and Natsu will get them in different ways. If you would like to see a curse and how Natsu gets it, please leave a PM or review about it and I'll put it in the chapters after 10 since that is how many curses I have in mind already with the help of my mom, and I'll say who it was that left the suggestion.

I think that's everything for now. Please enjoy the warm up of chapter 1! :D

Pink Kitty

Zeref is sitting by his bedroom window of his palace in his country of Alvarez bored out of his mind. He is so bored that he is falling asleep with his eyes open and unfocused, staring out into the city below him. He would do paperwork, but that would reduce him to tears with boredom, so he isn't going to bother with that. He would try to invade Fiore, but he didn't feel up to using violence to cure his boredom either.

He sighed; he doesn't know what to do to get rid of this long, agonizing, torturous need for some entertainment. Just as he was about to give up on forming a solution to his problem, a little, pink bird flies by his window. The shade of pink reminded him of his dear, sweet, little brother Natsu. He wonders how he is doing.

Zeref's body froze when a thought struck his mind. The thought allowed him to kill two birds with one death ball. With an evil, impy grin, he got up from his chair by the window and grabbed a little piece of paper and a pen. Once he was done writing his note to his brother, he places a curse on it. It won't harm him, but his reaction will be hilarious when he finds out just what the curse did to him.

With the note in hand, the black wizard disappears from his room.

"I'll meet you at the guild, Natsu!" Happy's voice was faintly heard from the other side of their home. Natsu grunted a reply, but didn't get up and out of his hammock yet.

The light of the sun moved into an angle that allowed its rays to pierce through the window and into Natsu's eyelids. A groan of annoyance escaped his throat. He grabbed his pillow and placed it over his head to hide away from the sunlight, but a growl soon left through his clenched teeth when the birds outside wouldn't shut up and allow him to get a little more shut eye.

Throwing the pillow off his head, making it land on the floor on the other side of the room, Natsu got up from his hammock in need of a drink to sooth his desert dry throat. He goes into his kitchen and heads straight for the cabinets. Just before he opened the cabinet door for a glass he noticed a note on the fridge. At first he thought it was from Happy, but once he finished reading it he saw that it wasn't.

"When you're done reading this, you'll turn into a cat. –Zeref :3"

Natsu didn't understand what was even happening. Not only did the note say he would turn into a cat once he finished reading it – only to not turn into one – the note itself was from Zeref. Why would an evil wizard like Zeref send him such a weird note?

Natsu shrugs; it's possible that Gray is playing a joke on him, and the note is not from Zeref at all. It doesn't make any sense that he would send him one, but Gray doing it as a joke…yeah, that he can see happening.

He places the note inside his pocket, and looks around in wonderment. 'Where is Happy?' he thought to himself. He thinks a little more on it when his face lights up in remembrance. 'Oh yeah, he said he's going to the guild.'

Natsu returns to what he was planning on doing when he first got to the kitchen. He went back to the cabinet and this time opened it. He grabbed a glass, went to the sink to fill it up with water, and chugged it down before laying the glass on the counter and walking out of the house to head for the guild.

When he was in the forest he was enjoying his little walk to the guild, but once out into town…he became lost. Not lost as in he couldn't find his way, but lost as in trying to figure out what is wrong with the people. They were all staring at him, and even the women he passed by started cooing and saying things like, "Awe!" "He is so cute!" "Look at those little pink ears!" Natsu was very confused.

By the time Natsu saw the guild hall up ahead, he couldn't be happier. He can finally get away from these mystifying people. Maybe they were cursed or something? He would ask his guildmates once he gets there.

Once at the door, Natsu kicked it in with a shout of, "Can anyone tell me what is wrong with everyone in town? They all keep cooing and staring at me! Were they acting like that when any of you were on your way here?" By the time he stopped asking his questions, he noticed that not only was it silent in the hall, but they were also staring at him like the townsfolk.

'Oh no…are they cursed too?' thought Natsu in worry and confusion.

The feeling of bewilderment was soon replaced with rage once all the men started to laugh hysterically and all the girls awing and cooing at him with stars in their eyes.

Natsu is clenching his teeth so hard that if anyone was paying attention they would worry his teeth will break. His shoulders are shaking and his eyes tightly shut all due to his rage. He finally roared out, "Will someone tell me what is so FUNNY?!"

Everyone just started laughing harder because they noticed something that Natsu is clearly not. Behind him was a very fluffy, pink tail. It was flat when he first got there, but thanks to him being angry it fluffed out.

"Hey Natsu, are you having any cravings for fish?" Gray asked with a mocking smirk.

"I can share some of my fish with you, Natsu!" Happy said while holding one of his fish that he got out of his green pack.

Natsu really hates just how confused he is. Are they all cursed, or were they all making fun of him?

"Hey, someone get a ball of yarn!" Gray called out. "I want to see if he'll chase it!"

Natsu was just about to attack Gray for that comment, but Erza came up from behind him. He felt her presence there, so he turned around. She looked at him with pity, which made him even more perplexed and slightly angry. He doesn't think he could take much more of this. If he doesn't get his answer soon, he may just destroy something he will regret doing later.

"Natsu… the reason everyone is staring and laughing at you is because you have cat ears and a tail," said Erza, unable to stop staring at the ears on the top of his head. 'I wonder how soft they are?' she thought mentally with a light blush dusting her cheeks.

Now it was Natsu's turn to stare and then follow it up with a laugh. "Good one, Erza! You almost have me there."

"Actually," Natsu turns to the sound of Lucy's voice. "She isn't joking." The blond mage hands him a mirror for him to look in. He didn't see anything at first, but that was because the top of his head was cut off, so when he tilted the mirror up to see the top of his head, there, mixed in with his pink strains were two little, pink cat ears. He froze in shock and horror, before slowly turning to see behind him. What he saw swinging gently from side to side is a long, pink cat tail.

Natsu stayed silent for a moment, but then roared, "Gray, what did you do?!" Gray stopped laughing in favor of staring at him in anger and confusion.

"What did I do? I didn't do this!" The grin soon returned to Gray's face. "Although... I would love to meet the one who did."

Natsu handed over the note he found earlier to Gray. "Then tell me what this is!" he demanded.

Gray froze in shock at the name of the sender. He quickly grabbed the top of his head to make sure that he didn't become cursed too, but it would seem that it only works for Natsu, because he doesn't feel furry ears there. Everyone quiets down, curious as to what has Gray worried.

Lucy comes up to him and takes the note, only to zero in on the sender's name. "This says it's from Zeref!" she shouted in shock and worry. Everyone in the guild gasped in alarm. Master Makarov jumps over to Lucy to take a look himself. He sees that the hand writing is old fashioned and not from anyone in his guild.

"Hmm…This does look like it could be from Zeref," Makarov said, "but I am unsure."

Mest comes up to look at the note as well. "Yeah, it is from him. Since I once worked in the Magic Council I have seen some of his work sealed away. Most of it was in writing. This matches the hand writing to a T," he said.

Natsu heard this and hissed like a raging cat. "ZEREF! YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS! JUST YOU WAIT, I WILL GET REVENGE!"

Zeref is laughing so hard his lungs are burning like someone set them on fire. Before he left Natsu house to return to his room, he placed a monitoring spell on him. He didn't want to miss any part of his little brother's reaction to his little curse he placed him under.

This reminded him of the good old times when he played pranks on his brother when they were little. He couldn't remember if Natsu ever got him back, however.

His laughter was heard by Invel and August. They looked onto his room to see what was wrong with him, but when they asked, he couldn't stop long enough to answer. Each breath he was able to get into his painful lungs were rare and deeply cherished. He could not use them for words, only to breathe and laugh some more.

It took ten minutes for him calm down. When he did, he says quietly under his breath, "Good luck, you'll have to get to me first before you can do anything to me, Natsu." Zeref feels like he is forgetting something, but he shrugs it off. He was sure it was nothing important.

Hours passed by with everyone looking into how to remove the curse off of Natsu, but with no such luck. They gave up at around five PM with Gray saying, "Let's just keep him like this. His face is not as annoying like that." This resulted in a full on brawl.

By the time midnight struck, the curse fell off on its own – much to Natsu's relief. He had refused to leave the guild with the ears and tail, so he waited it out, hoping it would wear off. Once it did, he went home to get his much needed sleep after this long, tiring, humiliating day.

This is happening between after the guild got back together and before Alvarez. I couldn't stop writing; I finished this in two days. :)

Natsu: Why are you torturing me? D:

Enj/Dark: I'm not – I'm just bored. Like Zeref! ;)

Zeref: This is going to get good. I can just tell. C:

Enj/Dark: Like I said, this is just a warm up. He's going to have to go on missions while under some of the curses. I decided to start with one of the classics. There are a few, but there are some that I haven't seen done before. Not saying it may have been – I just never seen it.

Zeref: She'll point the ones that she hasn't seen done before so you – the readers – can see which ones she's talking about.

Natsu: I'm going to hate this, aren't I? :(

Enj/Dark: Yes you are! ;) Please review! ^-^
