Lucy opened her eyes slowly, she blinked several times and saved herself from blurry vision. She yawned and streched her body. She stood up and made her way to bathroom. Blonde mage washed her face and put on some clothes. She finally entered the living room and froze. There was a boy in the couch, sleeping. Lucy noticed his peaceful face and her anger decreased a bit. She approached to him and sat to the couch. Her chocalate eyes met with his, she couldn't help but smiled at his peaceful face. Dragon Slayer began to stir and yawned, he was awake. He opened his eyes and noticed the figure in front of him. He stared at her eyes with a blank look, which made Lucy blush a bit.
Sting finally ginned at her."Yo Lucy!"
Lucy gigled at his childish behaivor and replied."Morning!"
Sting stood up and made his way to bathroom like he was in his house. Lucy just looked at him and facepalmed. Finally Sting finished his job in bathroom and entered the livingroom.
"What're you doing in my house, Sting?" She asked with a tickmark on her forehead. Sting sat next to her, his eyes was shadowed with his blonde hair.
"Actually Lucy, I have to tell you something." He started. Lucy looked at his serious face with wondering eyes. Her cheek blushed again in thoughts.'Maybe, he is…'
When she was thinking about romantic stuff, Sting continued his speech."He is my brother…"
Lucy's thinking bubble popped in disappointment, but she recovered herself quickly. Finally Sting's words made contract with her brain but she didn't understand what he's trying to say.
"Who are you talking about?" She asked. Sting gritted his teeth. He have to tell her even it cause her to hate him. 'Why I can't tell her easily, Yeah… I am ashamed from my big brother.'
He raised his head and looked at Lucy's eyes directly with his dark blue eyes, it made Lucy gulp.
"Natsu is my big brother." He said. Lucy blinked several times and tried to understand Sting's speech. After a while she jumped in disbelief.
"What!?" She yelled. Sting just looked at to floor and kept his silence, just waited for the burst. Anyway, Lucy was furious.
"That jerk is your brother!?"
"He is a murderer you know!" She yelled again without thinking, these words launched to Sting like arrows. Sting clenched his fist and stood up. Lucy stepped back and looked at his angry Dragon Slayer eyes. She felt fear in her heart. Sting stared at her for ten seconds and made his way to window.
"Whatever happens, he is still my big brother." He whispered and jumped from the window. Lucy extended a hand to him with a worried face.
"Sting!" She called but Dragon Slayer vanished from her sight, she felt sad for him. Lucy prepared quickly and made her way to guild.
After a while, she was in front of the guild. She opened the door and entered. Blonde wizard looked at the chaos and sighed. 'As usual…'
Her eyes looked for the Dragon Slayer for several moments. She heard a sound calling for her.
"Lucy!"
She looked at the source of the voice and noticed the little Strauss waving to her.
"Hello Lisanna!" She replied with a smile and she sat next to her. Lisanna sent a meaningful smile.
"And? Who were you looking for?" She asked as she leaned to her. Lucy shook her hands nervously.
"What! No one." She replied when she was sweating like crazy. Lisanna poked her mockingly.
"Ahh don't be like that, you were looking for Sting aren't you?" She said. Lucy's face turned into tomato when she heard his name.
"Is it that obvious?" She asked softly when she was trying to get rid of the blush. Lisanna giggled at her shy behaivors.
"Obvious for me, I am good at such jobs." She said proudly. Lucy couldn't help but sighed.
"By the way, I guess Sting is hiding in somewhere with Gray." She said with a grin. Lucy's eyes widened, she was confused of course.
"Why they're hiding?" She asked innocently. Lisanna rested her head on her palm, she looked at the bar and sighed.
"Because she is coming today." She replied with a serious voice. Lucy sensed the fear in her words and gulped. She shook her head and saved herself from fear.
"W-ho is she?" She tried to ask. Before Lisanna could answered one of the wizards burst entered the guild. Everyone sent a uneasy look to the newcomer.
"She is here." He said and entire guild froze in fear. Some of them tried to run away for their lifes. Lucy just managed to sent confused looks to around. After a while footsteps began to heard.
Each step made the mighty wizards shake in fear. After several steps someone entered to the guild. Lucy looked at the newcomer with wide eyes. She had an breastplate for her upper body and a blue skirt for bottom. Her feet was covered with brown boots. Lucy raised her hand and noticed her face and hair. Her red hair fluttered in slow wind. Lucy's eyes widened again.
"She is beautiful." She managed to say until she noticed the boys she was carrying. Sting and Gray were in her hands, beaten.
"Wha-" Lucy gasped. Scarlet-haired mage made her way to bar, ignoring the frozen people.
"I am back." She said and tossed the boys to a table. Mirajane left her job in bar and approached to her.
"Welcome back, Erza." She said and sent an angelic smile to her.
"Good to see you again, Mira." Erza replied with a serious face. Lucy began to understand why they were scaring from her. Sting and Gray began to stir and finally stood up hardly. Sting tried to recover himself and Gray did the same.
Erza sat down at the bar and Mirajane stood in front her as a barmaid. Mira kept her smile on her face.
"Usual one?" She asked.
"Usual." Erza replied.
"So how was your job?" She asked when she was preparing Erza's meal. Erza sighed.
"Kind of easy, nothing special." She replied and rested her chin on her hand. By the way, guild was concerned about she is going to beat them up or not. After a while, they relaxed and returned their own jobs. Lucy turned her face to Lisanna.
"Who is she?" She asked. Lisanna turned her attention to blonde.
"She is Erza Scarlet or Titania. She is the strongest female mage in Fairy Tail." She said queitly.
"Titania! I heard about her. She must be super strong" She said in excitement."and scary…"
Lisanna giggled a bit but Lucy wasn't satisfied. By the way Sting and Gray walked to a table, they were holding their heads."Aaah it hurts!"
"But why did she beat Sting and Gray?" Lucy asked. Lisanna thought for a while.
"I don't know actualy. She is like a big sister to them. She always keep them in line." She replied. Lucy smiled warmly after this answer. She was happy for Sting and Gray. But her smile disappeared immediately as she felt a cold aura behind her. She turned around and noticed the familiar onyx cold eyes. Familiar but… scary again, poor girl gasped again. Natsu Dragneel stepped in with his armor and studied the guild. Silence covered the entire guild again, everyone locked their eyes to the newcomer. Mirajane smiled at him but she didn't say anything, waited.
Titania had felt him five minutes ago, so she didn't bother. She kept eating her strawberry cake. Soon, Natsu noticed the scarlet-haired mage and smiled? Yes he smiled a little bit. Lucy's eyes widened and Sting facepalmed.
"Here they go again…" Lisanna faceplamed like Sting. Lucy couldn't ask just watched them. Natsu leaned to floor and took a piece of wood.
He stood up and raised his armor covered right hand, his index and middle finger pointed at Erza. His lips moved but no one heard anything except the Dragon Slayer of Fairy Tail.
"Swap." Natsu changed his fingers' position. Suddenly Erza's cake disappeared and appeared in Natsu's left palm. Erza gasped, her cake was disappeared and there was a wood in front of her. She took a deep breath and looked at Natsu with a angry face. Natsu kept his small smile on his face, strawberry cake disappeared in yellow light. Requip! It increased Erza's anger.
Everything happened in slow motion and in a second. Ordinary swords formed in their hands and Erza appeared in front of the Dragneel. She slashed her sword to Natsu which blocked by Natsu's. Natsu recovered himself and attacked her quickly, his attack parried easily by Titania thanks to her swordsmanship. Natsu tried to launch another attack.
"Give my cake back!" Erza roared and kicked Natsu from stomach. This force launched Natsu to outside fom exit door. Everyone specially Lucy gasped.
"EEH!"
Erza hold her sword tightly and exited from the door with a red aura dancing around her. Everyone follow them with cheers. Cana opened a bet stand.
"Beat the crap out of him Erza!"
"You can do this!"
"Why they are fighting?" Lucy asked with worry. Sting appoached to her, his anger to Lucy was disappeared.
"Erza loves strawberry cake so much and Natsu always taunts her for a fight." He explained. Lucy was shocked because Erza was strongest female in guild why Natsu stood against her?
Outside, Natsu stood up and sent a mocking look to Erza, he was completely unharmed.
"Is it all you got, Titania?" He taunted as he ran a hand throught his hair. Erza gritted her teeth and yellow light covered her.
"Requip: Black Wing Armor!" She yelled and a black armor with dragon wings covered her. Natsu's smile disappeared, he just stood there with a bored face as Erza dashed to him with inhuman speed. Suddenly Natsu disappeared and a blonde girl appeared in his old place, she was Lucy. Lucy blinked several times and finally saw the furious Titania in front of herself.
"EEH!" He gasped as she tried to escape. Erza's eyes widened as she stabbed her sword to ground and stopped herself, immediatly. She stopped too close to Lucy so she sent a look to her.
"Are you okey?" She asked. Lucy sent a frightened look to her.
"Ye- Yes." She tried to reply. Erza nodded and turned her face to crowd. Natsu was there, a mocking smile on his face.
"I tricked you." He said. Erza gritted her teeth.
"That was filty. What if she got hurt?" She asked. Natsu was unconcerned about this, of course. He made his way to fighting area.
"I don't care." He replied. Erza immediatly launched herself to Natsu, a black magic appeared circle in front of her.
Natsu raised his left hand to her. A yellow magic circle formed on his hand. He looked at Erza direcly and golden rings appeared in his onyx eyes, glowing.
Mirajane began to worry about them before she could say something a tiny guy appeared between them. Erza noticed him immediatly and stopped. Natsu waited for a second and lowered his hand slowly.
"Master?" Erza called and Natsu stood silent. Makarov sighed and looked at the crowd.
"Everyone, go inside!" He ordered. As he yelled everyone began to walk inside. Cana collected the bet money and escaped. Natsu looked at his master with his cold eyes. Sting stepped forward.
"But I want to fight with Erza!" Sting yelled.
"Sting!" Makarov yelled and Sting rushed to guild.
"What do you want, Makarov?" Natsu asked. Makarov sent him an angry look.
"Natsu I warned you once. You won't use high level magic on your comrades, is it clear?" He said.
"Same goes to you Erza." Erza simply nodded. Natsu sent a confused look to Makarov. Mirajane and Lucy were behind the door and listening to them.
"Is it your reason to interrupt my fun?" Natsu said with a unconcerned face. He requipped the strawberry cake and gave it to Erza.
"You should be more protective to your family, Natsu." Makarov stated and pointed Erza with his index finger.
"Jerk." Scarlet haired beauty sent a look to pink-haired guy and requipped to her regular armor.
Natsu raised an eyebrow and stared at Erza's eyes directly.
"Family?" He asked with a high voice. His cold stare finally left Erza and he began to walk. Mirajane and Lucy was watching him from guild door, secretly. He stopped in middle way and looked at to the sky. 'Family huh?'
He stood in same position for a while.
…
'Natsu…-run!' a blonde guy yelled. They were in street. His face and clothes was covered with blood. A woman was lying in front of him, she was in a blood pool. 6 years old pink-haired child was crying on floor and he was shaking in fear. Suddenly a black giant claw slashed to his father and his lifeless body fell to ground. Blood poured to poor child and his little body covered with his father's blood.
He began to shake more and more, his teeth was hitting each other. He shaked and shaked until his body suddenly stopped. His eyes wide opened, he was confused. Why doesn't he feel anything now?
He raised his face and looked at the giant creature in front of him. Little child's stare was cold and lifeless. He studied the black-blue creature, he memorized every detail of him. He didn't skipped anyting, any detail. He wanted to kill him, he wanted to shred him with his bare hands but he need time to grow stronger. He just wanted to made sure he'll remember that creature next time. Creature's wings began to stir as he raised his claw to air. Natsu's eyes widened again, he tried to escape from the attack but he was too slow…
…
Slash!
…
Blood began to drop from Natsu's tightened fist as he noticed it and loosened his fist. Mirajane gasped and made his way to him and the others stood still. Natsu turned around and looked at Makarov with his unconcerned look. Makarov did the same but he felt an uneasy feeling in his heart.
"Nonsense." Natsu said with a low voice as he launched himself to air with his maximum speed. Shock wave made people step back and protect themselves with an arm. Natsu was gone, he just left a crater on the ground.
"Natsu!" Mirajane cried, she felt the same ache in her heart like when she was in Kardia Cathedral. Makarov and Erza watched the sky. They couldn't say anything.
"Good job, you two!" Mirajane yelled with anger at them as she ran to guild. Makarov stood silent and Erza did the same. Lucy was shocked after Natsu's behaivor, she decided to follow Mirajane.
Inside of the Guild
Mirajane finally exited from woman's wc and made her way to bar. She didn't want to dodge her job as she has no magic power to search for Natsu. She wore her apron and took her position next to Kinana. Kinana sent a worried look to her.
"Are you okey Mira?" She asked politely. Mirajane forced a smile and replied."Yeah, I am fine."
Kinana wasn't satisfied from her answer but she didn't forced her. They continued their job as barmaid. By the way Sting came to bar. He looked at Mirajane.
"Mira, where's Natsu?" He asked. Mirajane's eyes widened, she wasn't expecting this question. She recovered herself quickly.
"Hm. I don't know actually, he went to somewhere." She replied. Sting noticed her worried face.
"What's wrong?" He asked with an innocent face but after a while, anger covered his face.
"Did Natsu do anyting to you?" He asked. Mira sent a shocked face to him and shooked her hands.
"No, no he did nothing." She replied nervously but that was too late. Sting rushed to exit doors.
"That idiot!" He roared. Whole guild turned their faces to exit doors as Mira blinked several times.
…
In Forest
Natsu was lying under a tree, his hands was under his head like a pillow and his legs was crossed. He was watching the sky, he had been there before but there was no other thing to watch. He still had a cold stare o his face. He raised a arm to sky and protected himself from burning sunlight. There was a necklace in his hand. A necklace with three gems.
"So you were here, idiot big brother." Newcomer said. Natsu opened his right eye and looked at the newcomer. He closed his eye again.
"What do you want Sting?" He said with a low voice. Sting clenched his fist, Natsu definetly sensed it. He sat back and put his back to tree.
"Wanna some beating?" He asked. Sting looked at his eyes, directly. Natsu placed his necklace around his neck.
"Why did you make Mira sad, she is worrying about you?" He asked. Natsu raised an eyebrow.
"I don't need pity. If you came here to say that you better go." He answered with an unconcerned voice. This words made Sting pissed more. He gritted his teeth.
"You don't understand. I will insert some sense to your brain!" Sting punched his palm as white magic aura formed around his hands. Natsu slowly stoop up and wiped the dust on his clothes.
"Come on than." He replied. Sting heard it and rushed to Natsu. He raised a fist and roared.
"White Dragon's Fist!" Sting lauched a punch but his hand hit to a rock and crashed it. Natsu was nowhere to be seen.
Swap.
Natsu was standing 10 meter behind him with a bored face. Sting turned around and sent an angry look over his face. He turned around as white magic power was filling his mouth. Sting leaned back and launched his attack.
"White Dragon's Roar!" White beam appoached to Natsu as he stepped aside, easily.
"Pathetic." He said but Sting was already over Natsu. Sting launched another attack on him.
"White Dragon's Claw!" Sting's hand appoached to Natsu. Natsu's eyes widened as he tried to dodge the attack. He quickly leaned back but his necklace went out from his clothes. Attack connected, it broke the rope of necklace and a hair strand of Natsu's. Necklace fell to ground and Sting landed to ground. Soon, Sting noticed the necklace on ground and began to sweat like crazy.
"It's not good." He whispered and looked at Natsu who looked like pissed. Natsu's eyes was shadowed by his pink hair. He slowly stepped forward and leaned to ground. He took the necklace and studied it. Finally he put the broken necklace to his pocket.
"You're dead." Natsu unleashed his magic power, golden magic power began to overflow from his body. Overflowing power began to go to air and forced Sting to his knees. Sting tried to stood up but the drassic pressure was pushing him to ground. He just managed to look at Natsu's face. His eyes was glowing yellow and his face was very angry. Natsu's hair began to fly around in magic power.
Natsu's signature white sword appeared in his hand. He turned the sword to right, sword pointed to the woods. A ray of golden intense lights made a way to forest from his sword. Sting gritted his teeth as he tried to recover himself from pressure. Natsu began to bring closer the sword to Sting. As he bring closer the ray began to cut the trees to half. Attack got closer and closer like a laser. Sting was still trying to rescue himself but there was no escape from his big brother.
…
"After today he is your brother Natsu, protect him." A pink haired woman said with an angelic smile.
…
Natsu's eyes widened as the attack stopped next to Sting's neck. Horror was reading from Sting's face. Sting fell to ground in exhaustion and fear. His hands was trembling 'So, this is fear.'
Natsu lowered his sword as it disappeared in yellow light. Natsu turned around, there was no emotion on his face. Sting sat back, he was ready to another round, maybe…
Natsu didn't turned his face to him. He checked the necklace in his pocket as he began to walk away.
"Go home little brother." He said. This words made Sting's eyes wide open. Natsu hadn't call him 'little brother' since that day. Sting blinked several times and watched Natsu, walking away. A smile formed on his face and a single tear fell from his eye. He wiped away the tear quickly.
"İdiot big brother."
