Natsu walked out of magnolia with a determined expression "Lisanna, I'm sorry I

couldn't protect you." Natsu thought, only a week ago did he find out about Lisanna's

death. Natsu looked up his eyes set in a determined glare "I will become stronger to

protect everyone!" Natsu said as happy flew next to him. "Natsu where are we going?"

asked the exceed Natsu stopped and sweatdropped "I… haven't thought about that

actually." Natsu said scratching the back of his neck sheepishly. Happy deadpanned at

Natsu. "Don't look at me like that! my plan is to get stronger no matter what." Natsu said

with determined grin. Happy shook his head but was happy to see that Natsu hadn't

changed to much from Lisanna's death.

Natsu sighed as he walked into a town called Villa. Happy looked at his 'father' "what's

wrong Natsu?" Happy asked. Natsu smiled at his 'son' "Nothing buddy just feeling

hungry." Natsu suddenly heard a scream, he snapped his head in the direction it came

From. "Did you hear that Happy?" Happy nodded and with that they both ran/flew

towards the scream to see two girls being harassed by a group of men. "Hey, Leave

them alone!" A voice shouted. Natsu turned towards the holder of the voice and was

surprised that it was a girl, said girl had blonde hair and blue eyes with a body most

women would kill for, The blonde haired girl was glaring at the thugs. "Oh? And what are

gonna do about it girly?" The thugs response was a elbow to the face knocking him out.

The rest of the thugs looked on in shock at the fact one of their own was beaten so

Easily. The girl used this to her advantage and, with a flurry of punches, knocked the

rest of them out. "Are you two okay?" the blonde asked in concern missing the fact that

one of the thugs had gotten up "Take this blondey!" he shouted as he charged at her

with a knife. The girl couldn't react in time. The thug was cut off in his charge by a shout

of. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" and was promptly sent flying "You okay?" Natsu asked

The girl nodded "yeah I'm fine thanks. My names Miu, Miu Furinji." she gave a smile.

Natsu smiled in return "My names Natsu Dragneel. If you don't mind me asking were did

you learn to fight like that?" Natsu inquired. Before Miu could answer Happy came into

the scene "Natsu!" Happy shouted rocketing towards the pinkette. "Hey happy what's

wrong?"

"I'm hungry."

Natsu sighed "we'll find something to at in a bit okay?" Natsu looked at Miu "sorry, this is

Happy my friend." "Ay!" "anyway about my question."

"Oh! Right my grandfather taught me, he owns a dojo here in town." Miu said with a

bright smile "Cool, I could train at this dojo?" Natsu asked Miu looked surprised "yeah

probably i warn you the training could be a bit extreme." Miu warned as she wrote down

the address of the place "anyway I gotta go to work I'll see you at the dojo!" Natsu

waved back "That was easy." He said before looking at the address "Ryozanpaku.

Sounds interesting" he said his eyes glowing.
