AN: Hello everyone I'm Corialanus and this story is going to be my second entry into the realm of Fairy Tail fan-fiction. To those of you who are reading any of my three other stories that are still in progress, don't worry I'm not giving up on those. I just had the idea for this story pop into my head as I was brainstorming for my others, and my brain wouldn't cooperate and let me keep writing anything else until I wrote this first chapter. Like I said though I have both of the next chapters for Requiping a Naked Heart and Mr. Mizukage? half written, and I hope to put one up before Christmas, and the other shortly after Christmas.

This story is going to be a love story between Natsu and MiraJane. In Fairy Tail I read almost any pairings (except Jellal/Erza) and I particularly am willing to read Natsu with almost any female character. I'm kind of surprised at how few Natsu and MiraJane stories there are, I think it's like five, so I'm going to add my own contribution to this under-used pairing. I think in Fairy Tail fan-fiction every pairing that isn't Natsu and Lucy is kind of under-appreciated. So anyway, the premise of this story is going to be that Lisanna dies again after being brought back from Edolas. This obviously has a devastating effect on both MiraJane and Natsu, but ultimately sharing the pain of the loss brings the two of them closer than ever before. This story will take place a few months after they return from Edolas and will be canon up until the episode entitled Lisanna. Obviously from that point on however it will divert significantly from the Fairy Tail manga and anime. There will be sexually explicit content in this story so if you don't like that I warned you ahead of time. And oh yeah I don't own Fairy Tail. Thanks to anybody reading this story, and I hope you enjoy it. Like most writers I'd love to hear your thoughts whether positive or negative, every review puts a smile on my face. Ok anyway enough of my babbling, here's the story.

The last rays of sunlight hit the walls of the Fairy Tail Guild house, giving off a beautiful shine as they were reflected off of the windows. Inside those walls however, there was no shine, and none of the usual laughter and boisterous behavior that usually went on inside the main room of the guild were to be seen this evening. The fun and happy atmosphere that was generally omnipresent inside Fairy Tail had been replaced by an unseen cloud of gloominess and despair. The cause of this change was the death of one of the guilds purest hearts, Lisanna.

Fairy Tail was much more like a family than a guild, so the death of one of its members always weighed heavy on all their hearts, but what made the death of Lisanna even more devastating was that they had all suffered through it before. They thought they lost Lissana years ago, but then as if by a miracle she had come back to them. The return of the beloved white haired girl brought tears and the biggest of smiles to every member, and months of happiness unprecedented to Fairy Tail. But oh what a cruel mistress fate could be, for not even three months had passed before Lisanna would be taken from them once again. This time however she was not simply pulled into another world, this time she was truly dead, murdered by a despicable dark wizard who wanted to be known only as "The Fairy Killer". Though everyone in the guild carried a burden on their hearts at the loss, there were three for whom that weight was unimaginable, and one of those was Lisanna's sister MiraJane.

MiraJane was usually the brightest and most beautiful wizard in the halls of Fairy Tail. She loved to gossip and play a diverse set of roles from matchmaker and referee to cheerleader for all of her guildmates, but today she had neither the energy nor the drive to fulfill these more pleasant aspects of her job as waitress and bartender for the guild. Despite it being just two days removed from the funeral for her baby sister she was at working passing out drinks to her friends. Both her brother Elfman and the Master Markarov had told her not to come today to serve drinks, but she just needed to be out of her house. It was just too painful to be in that house, a house that was far too empty and dark without the light of Lisanna.

MiraJane couldn't help but look over at Juvia, who had been the only one with her sister when she was attacked. MiraJane mostly felt empty inside, but one of the few things she did feel was an anger towards the blue-haired water mage, and then anger at herself for feeling that way. Part of her blamed Juvia for escaping from "The Fairy Killer", and that part wished that it was Juvia who died and not Lisanna. Thinking that brought out the other side of MiraJane's feelings though, the part that just hurt. She knew that Juvia didn't kill her sister, in fact in the short time that she had Lisanna back Juvia had become a great friend to Lisanna. She also remembered what Juvia looked like when she brought back Lisanna's body, the girl was terribly weak and brutalized. She could tell that Juvia fought hard and did everything she could to protect Lisanna, and then failing that still somehow managed to bring back Lisanna to the guild despite her own desperate state. She could remember Juvia crying her eyes out and begging everyone in the guild for forgiveness for letting them all down. MiraJane didn't want to hate Juvia, but she just had too. She had so many dark and despair driven thoughts she needed somewhere to direct them.

MiraJane next looked over to Lucy and Happy who were sitting with Wendy and Carla talking about Erza and Natsu. Erza had immediately after the funeral gone off to investigate about the "The Fairy Killer" so she could get some sort of justice for the guild. Natsu took Lisanna's death very badly. When he first heard he freaked out and went on a destructive rampage until Erza subdued him. Then after the funeral he went and rebuilt her grave that he had taken down when she came back from Edolas, and once the grave was rebuilt he locked himself away inside his little house and had not been seen by anyone except Happy since.

A sad smile crossed MiraJane's face as she remembered a day that Lisanna came back from Natsu's. He and Happy had taken her to the grave he made for her, and said that he wanted her help in taking it down. The three of them then spent the whole day having a picnic and reverting to their old game of pretending to be a family with her and Natsu as the parents and Happy as the son. MiraJane could remember the happiest expression on Lisanna's face as she talked about Natsu. She told MiraJane that while she loved her and Elfman so much, her fondest memories, the ones that she thought of the most in Edolas were of Natsu. When she was in Edolas she was so distraught that she would never make any of her childhood dreams of having a family with Natsu come true. She remembered the look of pure joy on Lisanna's face as she talked about him. Lisanna continued to tell MiraJane about all of these beautiful plans she had for her wedding to the dragonslayer. She knew the color she wanted her dress to be, and what flowers and music would be at the ceremony. She already had names picked out for their children, Lisanna went on for hours about how much she loved Natsu, and how happy she was that now all of her dreams could actually come to fruition. Now all of those hopes and dreams were gone, and all the little pink haired nieces and nephews that MiraJane would have loved so much would never come to be.

MiraJane was very worried about Natsu, as she knew that he would be the only person hurt by Lisanna's death as much as Elfman and herself. Her worry caused her to start eavesdropping on what was being discussed between Lucy, Wendy, Carla, and Happy.

Happy said, "He blames himself for her dying again."

Lucy asked voice laced with concern, "That doesn't make any sense Happy, he was nowhere near her, he couldn't of done anything to save her."

Happy continued, "Aye, but Lisanna asked him to go on this mission with her."

Everyone who heard that piece of information let out a little gasp. Lucy asked, "If she asked him to go, why would Natsu say no."

Happy answered, "He heard another rumor about Igneel and we went off to investigate, but as always it turned out to be nothing. Then we got back and heard about Lisanna, and well you know."

They all nodded remembering Natsu's grief stricken outburst. Happy started speaking again, now with tears starting to form in his eyes, "And now he won't see anybody, and he doesn't want to come out of the house, he barely even talks to me."

Wendy said, "Don't worry Happy, he's just hurting, it'll get better soon."

Happy, still crying, answered the despair in his voice growing with every syllable, "That's the thing Wendy, he said he's leaving tomorrow. He's going to go and hunt down "The Fairy Killer" for murdering Lisanna. But he forbid me from going, he said he needed to do this by himself, and that I should stay here and look after Lucy and Wendy."

MiraJane had heard enough, she got up and stormed out of the guild without saying a word to anyone. She was already mad at Erza for going off on her own investigation, she was not going to let Natsu go off on a wild goose chase after somebody who they knew almost nothing about. He could be gone for who knows how long, and he might even get himself killed. Fairy Tail had already had enough pain and sorrow, she wouldn't let him go off and do something stupid to add to it all. She marched along, burning with anger, running all the things she would say to him through her head.

Eventually she reached his house and stood outside his door which she banged furiously on. She heard him say in an angry voice, "Go away Lucy, How many times do I have to tell you I don't want to talk to anybody."

She yelled back, "It's not Lucy, let me in Natsu I need to talk to you."

He answered his voice calming a little, "Oh Mira, all right I'll talk but only for a minute."

The door opened and she saw the inside of his house, which looked like a hurricane had blown through it. He asked, "So what is it?"

She walked in and stepped past him as she started to speak, "I heard about your plan from Happy."

He snorted and answered, "So what, did you come here to stop me? I don't care what you or anyone else says, even the master or Erza, I'm leaving tomorrow."

MiraJane continued growing more annoyed by the second, "It's stupid Natsu, you don't know anything or have any clues of who he is or where he is. All you're going to do is wander around like an idiot and get yourself killed."

Natsu felt the anger he had been battling with ever since he heard about Lisanna's death starting to boil underneath his skin so he shot back loudly, "Thanks for thinking I'm an idiot Mira. But like I said, no one can talk me out of this, I need to do this, I need to kill him."

MiraJane responded, "You don't know who he is, it's useless Natsu, why do you need to do this?"

Natsu continued even more angry, "I need to do it for her. I have to do it for her. I can't let her down again."

MiraJane shouted back, "It's too late Natsu, she's dead. Why weren't you there for her when she was alive? When she really needed you. She doesn't need anything from you anymore, she's dead."

MiraJane was getting ready for Natsu to yell back even louder, but she was not prepared for what actually happened, Natsu collapsed onto his knees and started to bawl his eyes out. As he was sobbing she heard him say, "I know that MiraJane. She begged me to go with her. I can still see her face as she pleaded. I had to go and chase another stupid rumor, and now she's gone forever. I never told her, I always thought we'd have more time, but it's all gone, I lost her again."

Watching Natsu like this broke MiraJane's heart yet again. She knew Natsu loved Lisanna as much as she did and she could see all the pain in her heart splayed across his face. MiraJane dropped to her knees and wrapped her arms around Natsu. He put his head on her shoulder as he continued to cry. He begged, "Mira, I'm so sorry. Your sister is dead, she's dead and it's all my fault. I should've been with her. Once she came back I should have never let her be away from me again."

Mira whispered, "Shhh, Natsu it's not your fault, we both know she would've never let you stay by her side forever. She would've gone off on her own adventures."

Natsu answered, "But not this time Mira. She begged me, I could've been with her, I could've stopped him, I could've saved her."

MiraJane leaned down and kissed the top of Natsu's head, and squeezed him as hard as she could, trying to show him how he wasn't alone.

He asked, "Why are you hugging me Mira, please just hate me and leave me here. Lisanna's gone because of me."

MiraJane kept squeezing him and kissed his head again as she answered, "I don't hate you Natsu, I never could. I know you miss her as much as I do, you couldn't know what would happen, please stop blaming yourself."

Natsu looked up eyes full of tears and he asked, "It just hurts so much Mira, I have to make him pay for what he did. I let her down so many times, I can't let her down in death."

MiraJane answered, cupping his cheek, "You never let her down Natsu, she loved you, you made her happier than anyone."

Natsu said saddened, "I know, I know she loved me, I loved her so much too, but I never even told her once. She died and she never knew. I used to swear that if she got brought back to me somehow I'd stop wasting time and I'd tell her how I felt. Then she came back and I never told her. I broke my promise to fate, so she got taken away again."

MiraJane kissed him on the cheek this time and she tried to soothe him by saying, "She didn't die because you broke your promise, and don't worry Natsu, she knew you loved her, she never doubted it."

Natsu kept crying and buried his head back into her shoulder. The strangest mix of emotions were swirling around inside of MiraJane. She was incredibly sad, but holding Natsu so close, feeling his heat and his distress, and hearing him pour his heart out to her had created a very strong feeling of longing inside of her, longing for him.

MiraJane was well known throughout the world for her beauty, and many men had approached her but she just never felt anything for any of them. She thought maybe something was wrong with her, she never understood how she could not ever have that feeling for anyone. Now she was really concerned something was wrong with her, because here at the most bizarre time, when she was grieving the death of her sister with her sister's pseudo boyfriend, she felt her body tingling with desire. She had felt so miserable these past days, feeling nothing but pain and emptiness, but now she wanted to feel something else. Something to drive away the bad and make her feel good. She wanted to feel Natsu's mouth on hers, she wanted to feel his hands on her body, she wanted to feel exactly how hot every inch of him was.

MiraJane kissed his forehead and said, "Natsu, please don't leave, I can't lose anyone else, I can't lose you too."

Natsu looked up and locked his gaze into the gigantic blue ocean that were MiraJane's eyes. He was mesmerized by just how beautiful they looked despite the tears and the sadness floating on their surface. MiraJane continued, "Please Natsu, stay with me." Then she lowered her head and captured his lips in a gentle kiss. Natsu was stunned and didn't really know how to react.

MiraJane pulled back and said softly, "I'm so alone Natsu, I miss her so much, I just feel empty. I want to stop feeling like that if even only for a second." She then leaned in and kissed him on the lips again, this time much more aggressively. Her tongue shot out demanding entrance to Natsu's mouth. Natsu was still shocked by what was going on but he submissively granted MiraJane's tongue access and it found his and the two started to dance.

Mirajane moaned in pleasure as the two kissed. Natsu was so confused, his eyes were still filled with tears, but he couldn't say that he hated kissing MiraJane. He never really put much time into thinking about girls, but he wasn't blind, he knew that MiraJane was absolutely gorgeous. Still he never kissed Lisanna like this, it didn't seem right to be doing this with MiraJane while he was still grieving her sister. He broke away and said, "Mira, stop, what are you doing?"

MiraJane was disappointed when he pulled back, for a few seconds there she had felt alive again, felt good. MiraJane said, "I know it's weird Natsu, but it felt right didn't it? I feel so empty Natsu, I know you do too, don't fight it, just lose yourself in the moment." She leaned in again and kissed him fiercely yet again.

Natsu returned the kiss for several moments, but then pulled away again asking, "I can't. what about Lisanna?"

MiraJane answered starting to cry, "I don't know Natsu, I don't know. I don't think she'd be happy watching us be miserable. I've been dead for days, Natsu I know you have too. Please Natsu make me feel better, I need you, I want you." She pushed him down onto his back and straddling him started to kiss him again even harder. She ripped open his vest and started to rub her hands up and down his taut muscular chest. She also started to grind her pelvis up and down on his.

The confusion inside of Natsu continued to grow. Part of him felt guilty about kissing MiraJane, but most of him was giving into the feelings of desire that were building as she rocked back and forth on top of him. The sadness and pain he had been wrestling with for days was slowly fading to the back of his mind as the feeling of her nails dragging across his flesh was driving him mad. MiraJane broke away from the kiss and whispered, "Thank you Natsu, I need this, I need you."

She started to bite his neck and she used one of her hands to pull the top of her dress down exposing both of her breasts. She flattened out wanting to feel the heat of his body on her nipples. She tingled as she felt his chest touch her exposed flesh, and she also felt his cock which had been rapidly growing while she straddled him rub through the fabric of their clothes on her very wet and excited pussy. She pleaded into his ear, "Touch me Natsu. I want your hands to touch every inch of me."

She then started to kiss him again very hard. Natsu's reluctance was disappearing and his one hand grabbed the side of her exposed breast and he rubbed her nipples. She shivered in gratifaction as she felt the warm and calloused hands of Natsu on her delicate flesh. No one had ever touched her breasts before, except for herself of course, and the way that Natsu's hands were so much hotter and stronger and just more manly excited her in a way that she couldn't even understand.

She moved her hand down his stomach, slowly stroking him as she felt his body tremble at her touch. Her hand found its target as she undid the simple knot that kept his pants on and pulled them down harshly just below his ass cheeks. Natsu became incredibly nervous as his cock was fully exposed and then he felt her grab it and wrap her beautiful delicate fingers fully around it.

Natsu looked up into her eyes, his face ablaze with a million different contrasting emotions. He felt shy, excited, still sad, nervous, and so many more. He asked voice trembling, "MiraJane, I've never. are you sure?"

She kissed him again trying to reassure him. Then she pulled back, "Thank you Natsu, I've never either, but I want to share it with you, I'm ready." She could feel his heart racing with every throb of his cock as she straightened up and lifted her dress up sliding up and having his cock disappear under the maroon fabric. She used her other hand to gently pull her panties down just enough as the hand around his manhood guided it towards her now exposed pussy. Natsu felt the heat of her approaching his cock and he looked into her eyes, and she gave him the most beautiful smile he had ever seen a second before the folds of her pussy engulfed his cock.

She jumped a little in pain as she felt Natsu thrust into her fully for the first time. He saw her wince and then he froze his hips as he said, "Oh my Mira, are you OK?"

She wouldn't let him be concerned for long as she started to slide up and down on top of him. Natsu felt the greatest sensations of his life as he felt his cock being squeezed inside the warmth and wetness of MiraJane. She put her hand on his face as she rocked up and down and moaned, "Yes Natsu, It's so good."

Being a completely inexperienced man in the ways of sex the intensity of the situation soon got the best of him and he could feel his climax fast approaching. He tried to speak up and say, "Mira, I'm gon…" but her mouth crashed down on his as he tried to warn her of his impending orgasm. She was kissing him more passionately than she had yet and her rocking had increased to a furious pace. In about ten seconds Natsu exploded inside of her and she felt the heat of his cum flow into her. She slowed her grinding on him gradually, but kept kissing him hard. After about a minute she lifted herself off of him and then rolled over next to him on the floor.

Natsu was still totally flabbergasted by what had just happened in the past five minutes. He felt MiraJane cuddle into him and he heard the very quiet sound of sobbing and he looked down to see her face nestled on his chest. He then felt the warm and salty sensation of a tear dropping onto his skin. He started to panic, did she regret what just happened, did he take advantage of her? What kind of a man was he, having rushed sex on the floor with a girl who had just lost her sister. He said scared, "I'm so sorry Mira, I don't know what happened, I didn't mean to make you do this."

He was surprised when she responded with a laugh. She lifted her head up from his chest and smiled at him wiping the tears out of her eye. She said, "I don't think you had much say in the matter Natsu. I don't regret it for a second Natsu, this is the happiest I've been since, you know."

Natsu smiled back and this time he leaned in to give her a kiss. Their lips stayed together only for a moment and then she lowered her head back onto his chest. She asked, "Can I stay here with you tonight Natsu? I don't want to be alone."

Natsu nodded and said, "Of course."

MiraJane then said, "And please Natsu, don't leave me, don't go out after that man, at least until Erza comes back with some information. Please, Please, Please Natsu, I can't do this, I need you with me."

Natsu nodded and said, "Of course Mira, I won't make the same mistakes. I'll be here for whatever you need."

He felt her squeeze him tight in her arms as she said, "Thanks Natsu." He pulled his pants back up and closed his eyes as he started to think about Lisanna and MiraJane and what all of this meant for his future.

AN: Thanks again for reading, I hope you liked it. Unlike most of my stories I decided to jump right into the action. I plan on updating sometime in early January. As I said in the intro I'd love to hear your thoughts about my story, and Happy Holidays to everybody.
