Like the the dragon and the time goddess I don't know how often i'l update this

Natsu was on his back to the guild after completing a high-class quest after all he wants to be able to participate in the X784 S class trials; the job paid well, 300,000 jewel was the amount he received but unknown to him that well be the last job he will do for the fairy tail guild.

Natsu was getting into Magnolia and was Happy; he's stayed behind to try and win over Carla like always, Once inside the town he could hear the town people around him mumble some incoherent words from the townsfolk but didn't let it get to him.

Natsu was at the Guildhall doors before kicking them open getting everyone's attention; he was surprised by that their expression, they weren't of joy you receive from a guildmate coming back from a successful mission, no it was of rage and disappointment.

Natsu was cut short from his thought as he is forced to dodge a giant ice hammer from giving him a date with the ground only for him to face the cold hard steel of Erza's blade hitting his Left eye.

Fortunately, his eye was spared, but the mark would leave a scar on top and bottom of his eye socket.

"Why you do it Natsu," Erza said as gripped her blade even harder.

"What the heck are you guys talking about," Natsu said trying to stop the blood.

Wendy was about to run over and help but Makarov stopped her This only confused her at any other time she would help them at a moments notice.

"What are we talking about how about when Destroyed half a town on your last job from firing off a full power roar when you knew the town was in rang and is caused a forest fire that kept burning till Nothing but ashes remained," Gray said Angrily

"I didn't do that" Natsu said and was about to continue his defense, but he was cut off by Erza trying to hit him again, but he manages to dodge it a second time.

"Natsu stops lying and tells the truth, why did you do it" Erza practically yelled as tears started to form this cut Natsu deeper than any blade could cause he promised he's never let Erza cry again.

"I swear I didn't I was nowhere near the village when I went on that job and if there was a first don't you think I would have taken care of it," Natsu said in his defense.

still trying to stop the blood seeing Wendy wasn't going to help he used his magic to cauterize the would no doubt will leave a scar.

Natsu looked around hoping someone would stick up for him. First, he went to Lisanna his childhood friend he could tell she believed him, but Mira stopped her.

she wasn't alone many others had similar expressions the one who knew him best were like Lisanna, and Mira others had discussed in their eyes this was all he needed for him it was late to declare his innocence.

"I want to believe you Narsu I do but the evidence is undeniable, and punishment must be carried out," Makarov said sternly

"What do you mean" Natsu afraid to know the answer

"The council demand to throw you in jail for the rest of your life but I manage to talk them down that," Makarov said As he let out a sigh

"What kind of punishment," Natsu said as tears began to form.

"From this day forward you are at this moment expelled from the fairy tail guild and furthermore because of how big damage was cause you are also banned from joining any guild in Fiore" Makarov boomed resulting in a gasp from the Guildhall.

This cut Natsu deep as his friend he called family has abandoned him, and slowly Rage started to build up inside but he kept in under wraps knowing it only makes the situation worse for him.

"Hold master getting kicked out of the guild is one thing but getting banned as guild mage is a little extreme don't you think," Erza said

"I know I don't like it either But the magic council has made its decision... you have one day to gather you belonging after that you're not allowed to be a resident of Magnolia again," Makarov said sternly.

Makarov removed Natsu guild mark, Natsu felt cold for the first time as his fairy tail mark disappeared, Just as Natsu was just about to leave a voice called out to him he turned around only to see the face Of Happy.

"I don't care what they say If you leave I'm going as well," Happy said resulting in another round of gasp from the guild.

"Are you sure buddy cause there no going back and it could be a long time before we cross path with them again?" Natsu said as the rage inside only grew.

"Of course Master you can remove my guild Mark," Happy said

"I suppose I can do that," Makarov said, and with a snap of his finger, Happy fairy tail guild mark disappeared.

And like that Natsu happy departed from Fairy tail to start their new adventure into the unknown leaving a quiet guild to mourn the departed friend.

Shortly after Makarov made his announcement to the guild on S class trial participants and since Natsu no longer their Jet was picked in his place and chose drow as his partner.

After everything was done A member, who goes by the name of Mest snook away undetected and walk past the quiet street of magnolia back to his place of residence to meet with a respective Member of the magic council.

"Are you sure it was a good idea to frame Natsu for the council's screw up Lahar?" Mest said with a hint of disgust in his tone of voice.

"Of course if the Magic council can't display them they can at least cut out its heart, and that should be more than enough tone back there destructive tendencies. and should distract them long enough for you to find something on their holy ground so we can disband them if they don't play by the new council rules" Lahar said

"Just get back to the council I have to prepare for the S class trials," Mest said as he went to secure a partner unaware of what is to come during the trials.

(Scene Change)

The next day

Natsu and Happy's house

"I'm sure gonna miss this place, " Natsu said in a sad tone.

"Aye sir Hey Natsu I know we're leaving but can still come by and visit them every now and again" Happy said in pleading voice

"Of course I thinking of only stopping by for the annual Fantasia parade," Natsu said

"Alright that's always a blast, but the bigger question now What are we going to do now since we can't join any guild in Fiore," Happy said in a questioning tone.

"Well, for now, I was planning on searching for Igneel beside I have saved up enough jewel to last us awhile on top of my last job," Natsu said as he got his travel bag.

"Aye sir " happy said as he jumps to Natsu shoulder.

"One last thing to do," Natsu said before setting the house on fire he called home all his year in fairy tail and with that, the duo set off on their new adventure unaware of all the hardship they will have to endure.

At the fairy tail guildhall

The guild was precisely like Lahar predicted, without Natsu there the guild was pretty down from having one of it's strongest's members kicked out of the guild, and it didn't help that the S class trial was one week away.

"May I have everyone's attention, I know Natsu departure was hard for everyone, but we can't dwell on it for too, long, and since Natsu isn't here Jet will be taking his place for the S class trials. with that out of the way you have one week to train" Makarov said this was enough to get everyone out of their stupor.

Two weeks later

With Natsu and Happy

Natsu and happy are two weeks into their journey looking for Igneel unaware of the tragedy that happens on tenrou Island, but they will so find out.

While happy was eating away a fish caught by Natsu, Natsu had a serious expression why well it's evident, on the other side of a vast forest they're traveling through is lash green and alive where at now is the exact opposite everything around dead from the leafless trees. Brown grass to the weathered corpses the wildlife.

Natsu caught a scent when they entered what remained of the lifeless forest, and after several minutes they came across a young man wearing a black robe with a white toga with Black hair.

Natsu did know why but the man before seemed familiar and the smile on his face creeped him out to no end.

"Who are you now I never seen you before and this half of the forest was alive the last time I can here a month ago," Natsu said with a glare.

"My name is Zeref, and as for the forest, I'm the one responsible for it" The now named Wizard Zeref said with a hint of guilt after all he can't control his curse.

"Zeref why does that sound so familiar" Happy said telegraphing his present.

"Why is not important as you have bigger issues to deal with knowing who am" the now named Zeref said

"And what would that be," Natsu said as his glare only intensify he didn't know why but he has the sudden urge fight this guy but doesn't know why.

"The answers you seek lies in the fairy tail guild, " Zeref said in cryptic tone,

"What do you mean by that, answer me damn it, " Natsu said as the feeling to fight man before he got even stronger.

"Hm fairy tail needs you whether your a member or not," Zeref said as he Made his way past Natsu off to who knows where

Natsu didn't even hesitate to run back to magnolia only to be picked up by happy allowing them to get there faster wanting to know what Zeref meant by more significant issues.

"Hmm seem being in my presence was enough for Natsu other power to awaken and give him the urge to fight to like he's destined to do, " Zeref said feeling Natsu other power clawing at him to fight him before he flew away at breakneck speed.

Two days Later outside of Magnolia

Fairy tail guild

Everyone is still down after hearing the news that the core members are gone from this world unaware they will return, one day, but that would be years from now and the changing of the world in expected ways before the Guildhall door burst open revealing their former pink haired dragon slayer.

"Tell me it's not true" Natsu practically shouted as tear could be seen starting to form in his eyes.

"I'm sorry Natsu buts it's true, they're gone," Macao said not trying fight off tears.

Natsu just stood there crying at the news that all his closes friends were dead before what Zeref said came back to him he said the answers lie in fairy tail then a memory came back to him.

Flashback starts

Year X779

Natsu was currently hiding on the guild Library why he ticked off Erza again and needed a place to hide; she would never think to the check there, the only reason he got away for better or worse she got in a fight with Mira...again.

"I hope this, spot works," Natsu thought hiding under a desk at the far end before the library doors opened he froze on the spot hoping it wasn't Ezra.

Not long after He heard footsteps someone had entered the library thank to his heightened sense of hearing he listened to every footstep getting closer and closer, and each step color slowly left his face till the walking stop right in front of him and listened to the voice of a girl he knows.

"Man I hate it when those two fight well it's a good thing when they fight they avoid the library, and Makarov would have there headed for its destruction," a young Laki said unaware of Natsu present before crawling under only to be met with Natsu hiding there as well.

Laki didn't have time to dwell as the door opened again to reveal the young scarlet knight, storming in a clear indication her fight with Mira was over, and they can only assume she came looking for Natsu.

"hey Laki do you think you, can use your magic cover us up, so she doesn't find us"Natsu in a pleading voice quite enough for Erza not to hear them?

Knowing all too well how Erza jumps to conclusions when two people she knows are hiding together from her, she used her magic to create a false wall for them to hide behind.

After searching around the library for several minutes Erza left to look somewhere else Natsu might be hiding, soon after the two came out of there makeshift hiding spot, that when something caught Natsu eye the spine of a book on the shelf lay the Fairy tail symbol in a gold color.

His curiosity was getting the best of him with the help of Laki they pulled out the book to see what was about they only got to see the cover of the old tome to have an identical Symbol and color.

They didn't have time to inspect it further, and the loud voice of Makarov boomed throughout the guild hall.

After making his way to the main room with Laki not far behind him what they saw cause them to smile like no tomorrow as Makarov was giving Erza and Mira…. that as punishment for setting a new record for destruction to the guild hall.

Flashback ends

"Macao I know I'm not a member anymore, but I need access to the guild library," Natsu said in a Serious tone.

"Why," Macao said

"I have a hunch everyone who went to Tenrou isn't dead" Natsu getting everyone attention

"What do you mean Natsu," Macao said but didn't get an answer

"Laki come with me to the library gonna need your help on this one" Natsu making his way to the guild library

" Why, " Laki said

"Remember that book we found as kids if my hunch is correct our friends aren't dead and hopefully will know where they are" Natsu practically shouted.

With that said Laki and Natsu bolted to the guild library looking for the book, they found when they were kids, Throwing everyone through the loop At Natsu declaration about their past together.

Guild library

"Wish Levy was here right now to narrow this down," Natsu said frantically pulling out every book looking for golden fairy tail symbol on it.

"You're telling the library been rearranged so many times she the only one who would know where it could be," Laki said pulling out book after book hoping Natsu was right about there friend being alive.

After an hour of searching the duo found the book they were searching for, the book in question held to instruction learn some of the most advanced spells in the world as well as some spell known only to their guild.

"I think I found it " Natsu shouts as he and Laki came back from the guild library getting everyone's attention.

Natsu brought the book to a table so everyone can see, Natsu then went on to explain that based on what the former member Doranbolt described after telling The guild the news about tenrou destructions The core member used an advance spell fairy spell called fairy sphere protecting them from the Acnologia's roar.

"So when do you think they will be back," Macao said

"No clue based on what the description it could be years before they show up again," Natsu said.

"Well at least we know they're still alive," Macao said

"Since we know they're still alive is time for me to leave since I'm no longer a member," Natsu said as he started walking toward the guild door before being stopped by Macao.

"Where are you going the party for the great news is about to start I'm sure you can stay just one night in Magnolia," Macao said with a hopeful tone.

This was backed up by all the remaining members of fairy tail, seeing this Natsu raised his hands in defeat and stayed for the party celebrating their friend's safe return.

Natsu didn't stay for the whole party unlike happy he left at midnight and went back to fairy hills with Laki for reasons unknown to all except happy.

Several hours later

"Man Laki I knew you were kinky, but I didn't think you were that kinky" Natsu says in an exhausted tone as he layed his head down on Laki's bed while she lay her head on his chest enjoying his warmth both naked as the day they were born.

"Hm I can't take all the credit that stamina of yours helps," Laki said getting in a more comfortable position before noticing the time, it was half past 3 in the morning

"I can't even remember the last time we did this" Natsu said as started to drift off to sleep

"If I remember it was after the battle of fairy tail but before Wendy joined" Laki manage to say before the improbable couple drifted off to sleep.

The next morning

Laki was the first to wake up and notice the time it 7:00 a.m before looking to her bedroom mirror and couldn't help but smile at the sight of her mating mark.

The mark was red and resembled a dragon's head the mark was on the underside of her right breast the perfect hiding spot from the world.

You would never think these two would be a couple and if you hadn't guessed it all started when Natsu asks for her help to hide from Erza way back when they were kids.

When Natsu and Laki were hiding something deep inside him told him Laki was different from the other girls in fairy tail and it wasn't till many years later after his closest friend Lisanna presumed Death in combination with his crowing strength did that same feeling come back and stronger.

Flashback start

Year X782

It was only through seclusion Natsu ponder what this returning feeling was; he briefly remembers his father Igneel mention something about the other trait that comes with being a dragon slayer this it hit him the returning feeling toward Laki it was clear she was his mate.

The real problem for him now was how to approach it with her especially since she hates perverts but damn if she didn't have a nice figure.

Luck would have it one day Laki went on a solo Job and Natsu much to Happy protest who wanted to go stayed behind unaware why Natsu went alone on a job it was then he took a job close to where Laki was taking place.

Natsu was currently looking to where Laki was while trying not to come off as a stalker knowing how Laki And Erza will react if he came off as a stalker.

Fortunately, it wasn't too hard to find her thanks to his heightened sense of smell, In no time at all, he saw Laki just leaving a restaurant no doubt from just finishing a meal after her job.

Not knowing how to approach her he just acted casually minding his own business following her like two people on weaving Winding bike path until something caught his eye that made him change his plan as on the side of her neck was a weird symbol.

On closer inspection, without her noticing he could she was struggling but why it wasn't until she made an abrupt turn into an ally, not liking this he high tailed it to catch up with her, and when he entered the alley he saw something that made his blood boil in rage.

Standing before him was Laki right next to a strange man in a black cloak he can only assume he is controlling her through that mark on her neck, that's not the only thing thanks to his heightened sense of hearing he was able to listen to what the man was saying to Laki clear as day.

"Hehehe can't believe that spell worked and with I can have my way with as many women as I want and who better to start off with than a fairy tail mage. After all, they have some of the most beautiful women in all of Fiore," the mysterious man said in sadistic tone unaware of Natsu presents.

Just as the man put his hand out to feel the girls, he was met with a flaming fist to the face sending him flying down the alley landing face first in the dirt.

Laki was both relieved and surprised to see Natsu otherwise she no doubts would be robbed of her chastity by the sick minded stranger, but unfortunately, the mark controlling her was still in effect preventing her from running.

The stranger got back up and let out a maniacal Laughter Natsu wonder why he was laughing her got him and answered when he was suddenly hit from behind by none other than Laki.

"Whoa Laki why are you hitting me I just saved from that stranger," Natsu said before ducking out of the way of another attack.

"I can't he still has control over me Natsu you have to stop him before I hurt you again" Laki manage to say before sending a violent approach at Natsu.

Natsu manages to dodge the attack it was then a plan came to mind that would work, but he had to let Laki know about it with blurting it out allowing the stranger get a bigger advantage so he did the only thing he can do he egged Laki on and with a wink telling her to play along

"Come on Laki I know you can do better than that after all the guild brawls we been through over the years," Natsu said teasing tone

"Oh I can do way better than that violent approach" Laki shouted as another spike ball of wood was sent fly towards Natsu head.

It was then Natsu decided to let her in on the whole plan as the spiked ball went past the side of his head he gestured to it with his eyes as he looked to it then back to the strange that was controlling Laki movements.

Laki managed to give Natsu a smirk as he did a dead sprint toward the man and Laki Cast another violent approach sending it toward Natsu who caught it as he was a few feet away from the stranger who was caught off guard at Natsu insane speed.

Natsu brought to Violent approach out of hiding setting it on fire with his Magic and Manage to instantly K.O The cloaked stranger that was responsible for all this.

Immediately after the cloaked stranger was knocked out the mark on Laki neck dissipated and thus setting her free,

Is was half an hour before the rune knight took the cloaked stranger into custody and presumably prison where it is sure he will never be with a woman for the foreseeable future.

At this Natsu and Laki went to stay at an inn, they planned to have separate rooms, but there was only one left forcing them to share it Laki didn't mind since they've known each other for years on top of the fact that they are in the same guild.

Natsu knew this was his chance but did know how to approach it as he was setting in one of the chairs while Laki is getting something to eat.

It would be an hours before Laki returned during that time Natsu figured it was best to be direct with the whole dragon's mate thing then beat around bush which never worked out with him in the past.

One hour later

"Natsu I'm back, " Laki said as she entered their room for the night.

"Ok but Laki there something . need to talk to you about," Natsu said unable to look her in the eyes.

"What is it Natsu," Laki said curiously

"Well it isn't a coincidence that we met here and I didn't know about the pervert earlier till you were in the alley" Natsu manages to say

"Natsu what do you mean by that" Laki said coldly thinking Natsu is secretly a pervert

"it's better if I just say it outright …..hmm on dragon terms you're my mate i shouldn't have to go any further knowing how smart you are," Natsu said in a slightly scared tone knowing how sadistic Laki can be at times, it was several minutes before Laki responded.

"What do you mean by that" Laki said haphazardly not knowing how to react to his declaration shortly after Natsu got up from his chair and approached Laki

"This " Natsu said as before bring his lip to hers.

Laki eyes went wide at the sudden action Natsu made on her but she didn't push away if anything she enjoyed especially the warmth that cascaded off his lips, a small frown found it's way on her face when they separated.

Natsu didn't notice and merely looked away not sure how to proceed hoping she won't god forbid Inform Erza of his boldness knowing how she can be sometimes, he was surprised when Laki reignited the lip lock till the human desire for air forced them to separate.

"So I take it you're okay with this" Natsu said

"Depends, one thing for sure you're going to tell me everything there is about a dragon's mate cause if you don't I won't hesitate to inform Erza about your outburst with that lip lock," Laki said in a sadistic tone

"Ok" was Natsu simple response efficiently stopping Laki Sadistic line of thinking from going any further.

And so after a lengthy discussion, he told her everything about dragon's there slayers and their mates needless to say she was slightly flustered after everything was said and done.

"If all that's true then Why now and not sooner," Laki said she immediately regretted that from the expression on his face

"Lisanna is why…... I've known she's like me for a while now but as you know how she isn't my mate and my attraction to you started when we were kids hiding from Erza, and at that moment I knew there was something different about you. I didn't realize the difference after she died, it was then I knew you were my mate, I didn't want to lose you like her so that why we are here Now" Natsu said with a sheepish grin,

Laki had a look of shock after Natsu declaration and she couldn't help but be a more flustered with everything out on the table now.

"Well what do you think" Natsu still retaining his sheepish grin

"Well for starters we're not doing what that pervert earlier was going to do with my body until I say so Got it" Laki practically shouts sounding a little like Erza.

"Aye sir," Natsu said shakily

"Good now…. so. How...when do we go about the mating mark thing" Laki said in a perplexed tone

"Well to do that I have to bite down on your neck since it the easiest place to puncture your skin and when I do my magic will flow into you and a mark will appear somewhere on your body forever binding you to me," Natsu said shakily

"Hm forever does sound pretty good," Laki said with smile

"One more thing once the mark is set it can't be undone," Natsu said

"Hm better to get this over with now," Laki said as she got up sat down next to Natsu with her neck open.

Natsu did like he said and Bite down on her neck letting his magic flow into her and soon after Laki felt a burning sensation where she wasn't saying as she still has some class left when you join a guild like fairy tail.

After all, was said and done they shared the bed to sleep for the night, after all, they're bound to each other after, It would be one year to the day that Laki felt comfortable enough to allow Natsu to have what is rightfully his and discover where her mating mark is hidden.

Flashback End

Laki was still smiling at the sight of her mating mark when Natsu came too and if her hunch is correct which it is they have two hours till everyone starts waking up after the party and Natsu would leave.

This brought a frown to her face but quickly jump onto Natsu straddling him, her frown caught his attention.

"what's wrong Laki," Natsu said in a caring tone to his mate.

"People will start waking up from the part and you have to leave and I don't know when you will be back," Laki said her frown only grew in size.

"Hey it's okay I'll promise I'll come visit ok," Natsu said as he sat up to have his forehead to hers

"I know which is why I intend to make the most out it," Laki said with a sinister grin before sending Natsu back down onto her bed.

For the next hour and a half they made the most out there limited time together and since most of the fairy hill residents are either stuck in fairy sphere or at the guild, they were able to use the dorm bathhouse to wash all of the sweat and grime off from there special night.
