Mirajane just couldn't place it. The Demon, Seilah, that followed Natsu around, she was unkind to every single member of the Guild, all but Natsu and the small interactions she had with Jade, she tolerated the girl but showed no sign of liking her. She didn't understand why all the members just put up with the attitude, and as a matter of fact she hadn't seen a guild mark on the Demon so Mira wasn't even sure Seilah was apart of the guild. Natsu had told them not to worry about her, that she wasn't a problem. But something was unsettling to the take-over mage that she just couldn't let go.

The power she had at controlling the entire guild by just speaking sent warning bells, a Demon with that kind of power was a problem in her books. For years as a S-class Wizard she had dealt with the most foul of Demon's never had she seen one with such power. However she had heard of Demon's that strongly resemble humans that had formed a Guild. Tartaros. A Guild run by Demon's for Demons. She had no proof that was how the Dark Guild operated, having lost most of her strength after the events of Lisanna disappearing to Edolas. But she had always kept an ear out for any strange happenings so she could warn anyone in the Guild if they decided to go against them.

However right now Seilah was at the forefront of her mind, had she somehow used her power to manipulate Natsu in some way? If that was the case, what was her end game here? By the way she acted, she was just Natsu's secretary and helped him with his duties as Master, much like she herself once helped Makarov. But there had to be something, something she was missing.

"Mira? What's got your attention?" Lisanna asked as she sat down at the table, having noticed her elder sisters focus.

"It's nothing Lisanna." Mira smiled turning to face her. "Are you fitting back into the guild alright?" Despite her worry over the Demon, she still wanted to make sure her siblings were fitting back into the Guild. She had to wonder if they shared the same concerns she and Erza had.

"It's strange, there are so many new faces." Lisanna smiled. "I guess it's kinda like coming back from Edolas. But they're welcoming enough." Mira nodded gently, casting her gaze over the once more party filled guild. With the arrival of the members from Lamia Scale, those that wanted to reunite with new friends a party started and was now in full swing. Every now and again she would spot Seilah, always a few steps behind Natsu and never to far away.

"Have you gotten a chance to speak with Natsu?" Mira asked, Lisanna's smile instantly growing.

"Yeah, he's grown up so much. Jade is just like him when he was younger." Lisanna beamed happily, going into a full on speal about catching up with the Dragon Slayer, it was clear to the older strauss those once lost flames still had embers, at least on Lisanna's end. "Have, have you spoken to him yet?" Lisanna asked cautiously knowing how bad she felt about having to leave Natsu out of the S-class Exams.

"No, not yet." Mira frowned. "But I'll get the chance, when everything quietens down a bit, I'm sure Erza and Gildarts will also wait for their chance. I think Master, er I mean Makarov has already spoken to him." Lisanna nodded softly knowing pushing her sister to do something she didn't want to wasn't going to help the situation. Natsu had even subtly diverted attention away from the Group from Tenrou.

"Are you sure everything's okay, Mira?" Lisanna asked, catching her sister's gaze growing serious as she looked across the room.

"It's nothing, at least I hope not." Mira told her, placing a hand atop hers. "If anything changes, you'll be the first to know."

"Alright."


Natsu watched from where he was seated on the bar, the guild in full party mode, it was nice to have everyone back, but the whispers he picked up and the glances he got. Those from Tenrou didn't really understand, and in truth they never would. The last seven years hadn't been easy, he had learned a lot, forced to grow up out of necessity. He had to wonder what would have happened to the Guild had he gone to Tenrou Island, would it even still be around? Sighing gently he felt Anna approach and glanced over to see her holding Jade, who was fast asleep, in her arms.

"Meeting all the people she had grown up hearing stories about got her all worn out." Anna smiled gently, rubbing a hand across the young girl's back. "Would you like me to take her home?"

"No, I'm heading out so I'll do it." Anna nodded as Natsu slid down from the bar, taking Jade from his old teacher, the girl draping herself over her father's shoulder. "Sting and Rogue will be here, probably tomorrow." Natsu told her. "We'll talk to Wendy and Gajeel then." Anna nodded softly, a soft frown coming to her face as she watched Natsu head for the exit of the guild.

Wendy and Gajeel were the only two left to tell the truth too. Sting and Rogue knew, Natsu had told them that when he believed them to be ready, Anna had told him everything when she had first reunited with him and re-awoken his memories. She believed that was the moment he had changed the most. Igneel had sent him here with a job to do after all. Since learning the truth, he hadn't stopped working to reach that goal, to destroy Acnologia. She just hoped he could reunite with his friends soon.

Natsu's leaving of the guild went undeterred and as he made his way up to his home, the only other footsteps were from Seilah who was walking behind him quietly.

"Master." She spoke softly, so as to not wake Jade. "One of the returnees as been watching me intently." She told him.

"It'll be Mirajane." Natsu replied. "Until I figure things out, I'll need you close by me. The last thing I need is for her to find out I'm an Etherious too." Seilah frowned slightly.

"Are you ashamed of what you are, Master?" She questioned.

"No." Natsu told her, stopping and looking back at her. "But we both know that no-one would see me the same again." He told her, getting a nod in response. "Mira's the only one with the ability to sense Demonic Presence others wouldn't know the difference really, I'll need to talk to her privately about it."

"If that is the case, we should keep her away from your home." Seilah commented as they began to walk again. "Tartaros Library emits the same presence, no doubt she would become suspicious if she sensed that an entire Guild of Etherious beings were in your home."

"You're probably right, I'll have Anna set up some extra enchantments so that doesn't happen." Natsu hid his slight smirk at the scoff of Seilah that she had no intention of hiding. Soon enough the house came into view, the clear signs of the Guards that would have brought Jade's belongings were evident but there was nothing amiss as they entered the home, Jade's bags sitting just inside the door. Natsu headed for the young girls room as Seilah went into the house.

PLacing Jade down, a few soft snores escaped the girl before she cuddled up to her pillows and Natsu tucked her in, brushing a few strands of green hair from her face. He watched her for a moment, taking her in before leaving and heading for her belongings already smelling the distinct perfume. Easily located the pocket in the bags that it was located in, her pulled forth the envelope that was addressed to him.

Natsu

I hope to see Fairy Tail at the Grand Magic Games in the coming months.

It will be good to see you, and for Jade to see us together.

I miss you.

H.E.F

Closing the letter he placed it in his jacket and entered the main room, Seilah already searching for a book to read for the evening. Natsu's eyes were drawn to a certain part of the library that was covered with magic seals, holding within the Etherious Books, created by Zeref. Since the events two years ago, Natsu had come into the possession of all Nine Demon Gates along with the other Demon's that resided in the demon filled guild. Including his own book, the book of E.N.D. Each were sealed shut by Anna, all but Seilah. Seilah, upon discovering the truth that Natsu was E.N.D swore absolute loyalty, the others had yet to come around and until they did they would remain sealed.

"Master, I feel that a confrontation is drawing near." Seilah spoke, picking up a book.

"No doubt." Natsu sighed, having come to the same realisation. Laxus was easy to deal with. Right now Laxus saw nothing wrong with the way that things were. He didn't resent Natsu for becoming Master and had no intentions of ruining his chance in the Guild.

He wasn't saying that anyone had a problem with him being Master, but there were definitely a few that would be thinking that he wasn't suited to the position. Gray would be one in particular. Seven years ago, Gray was picked for the S-class Exam while he hadn't been. So to see his long time rival suddenly the head of the Guild and being told that Natsu was the strongest Wizard in the guild wouldn't sit idly by with him.

There was also Erza. As much as Erza believed she was a level headed Wizard, she tended to think better with her fists then she did with her thoughts. Right now, Erza would be overthinking on how she should make up with him, and in the end words wouldn't cut it for her and she would return to her old ways and try and force a confrontation between herself and him. Erza always had the crippling weakness of overthinking, her thoughts always betraying her. Natsu had seen it multiple times in the past, mostly involving Jellal but that didn't mean it only situated around Jellal.

Finally Gildarts. This confrontation would come from Natsu himself, when he was ready to deal with it. He needed to see what Level Gildarts currently stood at so he could gauge if he was ready to take on the S-Class quests of today. Gildarts may have been the most powerful Wizard Seven Years ago, but times change. Plus there was something Natsu wanted to discuss with the man when everything was settled.

"When it happens, let me deal with it." Natsu told her as he sat on the couch, Seilah for the moment left her book on the shelf and approached him, a swift motion of her hand and curse seals began to appear on the walls. Wordlessly she stepped over his legs and straddled his waist. Her purple eyes boring into his onyx coloured orbs. Shifting forward and up she reached between them, hand slipping into his trousers.

"Master." She whispered gently, pulling forth his length and adjusting her position. Natsu grabbed her hips lifting her up slightly as she reached a hand down beneath her kimono and with practiced ease both let out sighs of pleasure as he sank into her depths. "You're stressed Master." Seilah cooed, rocking her hips in a gentle rhythm, Natsu leaning back on the couch hands on her hips as she moved. "Let me ease your burden." A gentle shrug of her shoulders allowed her Kimono to fall down her arms, her breasts falling free of the fabric. Seilah, moved her hands up her body, her breasts dancing to her movements cupping one she gave it a gentle squeeze before leaning forward. Natsu's teeth were sharp but a welcome sensation as she cooed at his touch.

Seilah stared deep into the manic eyes of her Master, the slitted pupils as curse power began to flow from deep within him. His thrusts became more powerful, his grunts more animalistic as she cast her head back reveling in the feeling of his power.

With swiftness she was on the floor, legs wrapped around his waist as he began to dominate her completely, the frame of the house almost beginning to quake in response to his thrusts. Had she not set the reinforcement curse seals no doubt their wouldn't be much left of the house and poor Jade would be a spitfire of never ending questions about what had happened.

Heat flowed from Natsu deep into Seilah, the carpet beginning to burn with crimson black flames as Natsu's curse flowed forth. Each thrust made her whimper, the rough handling of her chest by his tough calloused hands would make mere humans cry in horror. But it was a never ending delight to her. Her hands calwed at his back, nails drawing blood as passion passed between them, lips locking in an intense kiss.

Seilah gasped as her climax hit, pleasure wrapping over her body, arching her back as Natsu's thrust became more forceful, her body quacking from power as each thrust hit home. Finally it came to an end, his seed filling her as his teeth grazed her neck. Each movement sent her into a quivering mess as Natsu's powerful thrusts turned into a gentle rhythmic rocking.

"Let's continue in the bedroom." Natsu breathed out, Seilah could only nod.


"Natsu!" Happy's shout of greeting brought Natsu from the book he was reading, currently sitting on the front step of his house in the early morning. The blue exceed had been scarce since the Tenrou Team had gotten home. He had been getting acquainted with everyone again. He wasn't surprised at all to see Happy accompanied by his fellow Exceeds, Lector and Frosch, having caught the scent of the Two Dragon Slayers in town already.

"Look who I found." Happy continued.

"Natsu!" Sting's voice reached Natsu before Sting made an appearance up the track waving his arm as he was running. Rogue appeared behind him a short while later, walking. However before Sting reached him.

"Hell Dragon's Burning Fist!" Jade shoot from the tree's fist engulfed in flames only for Sting to duck the sudden ambush, however Jade was quick on her feet, rolling before pivoting and shooting back "Hell Dragon's Inferno!" As she was shooting towards him both arms were stretched forwards a mass ball of flames gathering. Sting grinned before appearing behind her in a flash of light.

"To slow!" Sting cheered as the ball of flames in Jade's hand exploded forward wiping out a large portion of the surrounding trees. Sting picked her up and threw her up so she was sitting on his shoulders. "Next time little Princess!" Sting grinned happily.

"Got you!" Jade roared raising her hands above her head while wrapping her knees around Sting's neck his eyes widening. "Hell Dragon's Blazing Flame!" A mass ball of fire engulfed them both, Natsu smiling as Jade walked victorious out of the flames, Sting grumbling as he followed after her. While Jade was strong for her age, her power didn't pack that much of a punch yet.

"Daddy! I did it!"

"I saw." Natsu grinned as Jade ran to him, arms wide open leaping and hugging him. Natsu grinned at the approaching Sting as he patted Jade atop her head.

"She got lucky." Sting scoffed.

"You let your guard down." Rogue commented as he walked up behind them. "Seilah said it was urgent that you saw us, is everything alright?" He asked.

"Everything's fine." Natsu commented. "Gajeel and Wendy are back, along with Tenrou Island." He told the two surprising them, as of yet Sabertooth hadn't heard the news.

"You're going to tell them then?" Rogue asked.

"Yes, I figured it'd be best to have all of us there while Anna-sensei restored their memories." Natsu told them. Jade looked up, confused at the conversation they were having but didn't comment on it.

"Then what are we waiting for!?" Sting grinned. "Man, I can't wait to see them."

"They don't know who you are." Rogue sighed.

"So, I still missed them." Sting continued to grin, Natsu simply shook his head in amusement as he looked down at Jade, she looking back up at him.

"Ready to go to the Guild?"

"Uh huh!"
