Summary: Gajeel and Natsu are sent out on a mission together to hunt down a demon but instead find a beautiful wild dragon slayer. They bring her back to teach her how to live in human company but what if this new dragon slayer falls for Gajeel? What will his girlfriend think of this new girl threatening her relationship with Gajeel? With dragon slayer mating season reaching it's climax Gajeel will need to choose between his long time girlfriend or the the wild dragon slayer before a rival dragon slayer claims her as his own.
The morning sun was bright on my wet, naked body. Drops of water that slid over the curves of my tanned skin sparkled and glinted in the sun's light as if they were prized gems. My long, unruly curls of golden blonde whipped around and wrapped onto my trim body as I played in the waist high water of my favourite bathing hole. My iceberg blue eyes flecked with flashes of crimson red sparkled merrily in deep contentment.
It was okay for me to act this way totally unashamed, prancing around naked because I lived in the wild by myself. I mean, I'd never actually seen a human before and I'd never lived with one so I didn't know if 'normal' people did this sort of thing or not.
Not that I'd lived alone by myself before. I used to share this forest area with my father figure Lieka, who was a storm dragon that had raised me and lived with me all my life until he disappeared one day almost seven years ago, I think. I wasn't completely sure; I'd lost count of the days that I had spent living happily on my own.
It was probably a good thing that no human had seen me (that I knew of), apparently they did not have the same altered appearance as I did according to Lieka.
I had coiling, ridged horns that curled from behind my pointed ears and a serpentine tail that snaked out from my skin as well as sometimes having small wings that I could expand and use at anytime I wanted when they were exposed to the outside world. They were not out today so I guess that made me sort of 'normal'. Well, more normal than usual.
I gained this appearance through my training in the magic of dragon slayer magic and living in the wild with no human contact.
I stilled my frolicking and sunk deeper into the cool water until it covered my shoulders. The water disfigured the image of my body through the water. I let out a pent up sigh as the local birdlife chipped and chattered far above my head in the umbrella of leaves the trees provided for the life forms below.
Thinking of my lack of human contact made me feel very lonely all of a sudden.
'Please come back soon Lieka." I said out loud in english. "I miss you."
Lieka had taught me many things such as how to tell which plants were dangerous and which ones to were safe to consume as well as teaching me how to harness my powers and most importantly (according to him) how to speak the native language of the normal people seeing as I had grown up speaking dragon. Lieka's purpose in teaching me english was so that I could one day merge successfully merge into human society and be able to communicate with them. It was his wish for me to find something called a 'guild' where people with abilities like mine met and paired up to do 'missions' for other humans.
I really did miss Lieka.
I dunked my head under the smooth surface of the water and told myself off for dwelling in the past. Lieka often told me off for dwelling in the past by smacking me over the head with the tip of his wing. I half expected him to come out of nowhere and give me a sharp clip around the ears. I rose to the surface and swam swiftly to the bank where I wriggled onto the grassy verge. I stood up and shook the loose water droplets from my body. I turned to a large tree with a thick trunk with scale like bark. I scaled up the trunk, sinking my pointed fingers into the gaps between the bark and reached my favourite branch. It was a long and sunny limb that was wide enough for me to nestle comfortable into and sleep in while the sun dried the stubborn water drops on my skin. I let one of my legs and my serpentine tail dangle over the edge of the branch and closed my eyes to take my mid-morning slumber.
However, as soon as I closed my eyes to dream, the normally cheerful birds fell into a sharp silence, as if they had had their melodious voices stole by a thief. My eyes sprang open and I quickly scanned the area with my keen eyesight, spotting nothing that could cause such a disturbance. Deep unsettlement made itself a home in my stomach. Twigs crunched lightly under something's feet and I laughed at myself quietly.
It was probably just a wolf or something.
I closed my eyes again, banishing the unsettled feeling from my body.
Yes, of course it was just some silly predator that the birds would be scared of.
The footsteps passed underneath and stopped somewhere before the lake.
"Hey guys!" a male English speaking voice came. "A lake! Let's take a break here!"
"Aye!" a high-pitched voice followed.
There was an unfamiliar rustling noise that had me curious followed by a large splash. Drops of cool water splattered onto my sun warmed skin.
"Woooooaaaah! So refreshing! Hurry up and get in Gajeel!" the first voice called excitedly.
"Shut up, Salamander." An older, gruffer voice snapped over the strange rustling noise. "Say, Salamander, doesn't something smell nice around here?"
"Mmm, you're right!"
"Aye!"
Unable to fight off my curiosity any longer, I opened my eyes and almost fell out of the tree at the sight before me.
Standing in the water were two human males who were emitting beautiful scents. On the bank were two winged cat creatures. A blue cat was the one emitting the high-pitched voice and a silent black one was standing next to him.
"Hey Natsu!" the blue cat called, cupping his paws around his little cat mouth. "Me and Lily are going to explore!"
The small black cat folded its arms and nodded.
"'Kay! We'll meet you back here!" the pink haired male called with a cheeky grin.
"Aye!" the blue cat called, flying off with the black cat in tow.
I watched as the two cats flew underneath, surprised that they did not see my leg or tail hanging down.
I turned my attention back to the men, paying more attention to them now that the cat creatures had left. They were both about my age and both highly attractive.
One had soft spikes of pink hair and dark obsidian eyes. A carefree grin was plastered across his face, giving me a glimpse of sharp fangs. He looked slightly younger than his friend as he was a little shorter but his well-toned chest indicated that he trained hard. The second man was a tall, wild looking man. His hair was long black and spiky, trailing past his waist. He had his hands on his hips as he watched his companion play in the water. He had his back to me so I couldn't see his face very well, which disappointed me a little.
My curiosity rose even more when the men's scent reached me again so decided to investigate them further. I stole down the tree quietly unnoticed and slipped into the water with barely a ripple. My blonde curls billowed out in the water, coiling and swirling as if it had a life of its own. The gills under my jaw opened up, filtering the oxygen from the water and a clear protective layer slid over my eyes.
Using the broad fin on the end of my tail, I glided through the water towards the unaware man who had moved into the deeper part of the lake to be closer to his travelling mate who had not noticed me either. I drew up behind the older man and my hands trembled in excitement.
I had never been this close to a human before!
I threw myself out of the water, wrapping my arms tightly around the man's waist, my chest pressed again his side and my jaw resting on his rib cage. My gills dissolved back against my skin and the clear layer over my eyes flicked back. I quickly discovered that this man wielded some nicely toned abs too.
"Woah! What the fuck?!" he shrieked turning his head down and lifting his arm to see what had leeched onto him.
I smiled endearingly up at him as my blonde curls tangled with his black hair. He looked down on me in stunned silence, unsure of what to think. The pinkette, hearing his companion's shout, rushed over excitedly.
"What's wrong Gajeel-woah! Why's there a naked chick hanging off of you?! Who is she?! It looks like that's the demon we were sent to capture." he asked excitedly as he pulled in close.
I snorted.
Demon?
Since when was I a demon?
"Like I would know." The man called Gajeel returned without looking away. "She just jumped me from outta nowhere."
The pink haired male bent down to get a closer look at me, gems of water forming on the tips of his wet spikes. He gave a little sniff.
"She's what smells nice. Do you think she can speak?" he asked, also not taking his eyes off of my face. "Hey, what's your name?"
"Om ngala vrist Kyoya Arashi, de?" I said speaking in dragon to test their reactions for my amusement.
They both blinked at me and I smiled in amusement.
"Can you speak English?" Gajeel asked.
"My name is Kyoya Arashi, what are yours?" I translated.
"I'm Natsu Dragneel!" the pinkette grinned cheerfully, flashing his teeth at me again. "And the one you're clinging to is Gajeel Redfox. We're dragon slayers from Fairytail."
"Oh, I use dragon slayer magic!" I replied enthusiastically.
Gajeel, obviously finding nothing better to do with his raised arm, lowered it and started rolling his thumb over the ridges of one of my horns.
"What type do you use?" Gajeel questioned, his eyes (which were a crimson red) sparkled in interest. "I'm the iron dragon slayer."
"And I'm the fire dragon slayer!" Natsu piped up.
"Latissmala Ngalokhe." I said reverting to dragon as I leant my head against the warm skin of the iron dragon slayer's chest. "I'm the storm dragon slayer."
"Woah! I've never heard of a storm dragon slayer before!" Natsu said excitedly (again). "Hey Gajeel! Wouldn't it be cool to have another dragon slayer in Fairytail?!"
Said dragon slayer shrugged and looked at his pink haired companion.
"Sure, but only if she's strong enough. Not much point having a weak dragon slayer." He replied with a grin, showing off his own pointed teeth.
Natsu turned to me again, excitement sparking in his dark eyes.
"Hey Kyoya! Wanna join our guild? It's pretty awesome but it would be even better if you joined! Then we'd have four dragon slayers in Fairytail and we'd be four times as powerful!"
I smiled mischievously.
"Let's play a game first." I replied. "You see, before Lieka left me he told me that I should seek out a guild in a nearby city so that I would be able to flourish in 'normal' human society, however, I am quite comfortable living in the wild by myself and I'm very reluctant to leave. So, I was thinking that if you wanted me to join your guild, you must beat me at my own game by catching me. I'm pretty quick so it's not going to be easy. But, if you do catch me, I will go with you. Sound good?" I said wagging my tail in anticipation.
I let the iron dragon slayer go and skipped back a few steps as Natsu clicked his knuckles and unleashed a spout of fire into the air.
"Sounds good! I'm all fired up!"
"I apologise immensely if I hurt you guys in any way, shape or form." I said eyeing up Natsu as he filled his cheeks with his fire magic.
He unleashed it with a roar and a bright flash of fiery colours that wilted the green tree leaves in an instant.
"Fire dragon roar!"
The swirl of flames hurtled towards me fast, steam rising off the top of the water as it sped over top towards me.
I mimicked Natsu's position, leaning my own head back as my mouth filled with my own brand of magic. I held the magic in my mouth until the flames were close enough to draw a thin layer of sweat from my skin before unleashing mine upon the poor unsuspecting fire dragon slayer.
"Water dragon roar!"
My wave of water engulfed his flames as if they were nothing, dousing them in a short moment. I couldn't help but stifle a giggle at the helpless, comical expression he wore as my water magic swept him off his feet and into a thicket away from the lake.
"What the?!" he spluttered, leaping to his feet, the water rapidly evaporating from his bare skin and the strange materialistic things on his legs.
He peeled a leaf from the middle of his forehead.
"Water beats fire Natsu." I said with a sweet smile.
"It doesn't beat iron though!" Gajeel roared running towards me, his right arm a blade of spiked iron.
He swung the blade at my thigh and I skipped back a step to avoid it with an exclamation of surprise. His arm was a grey blur as he slashed, flicked and stabbed his blade at me with expert precision. My blonde curls flicked wildly through the air in a crazy unchoreographed dance. I had trouble keep out of reach of keen edged blade and after a long five minutes of dodging and prancing away from the edge of his blade a slick layer of sweat coated both our brows. My shoulders heaved as I panted heavily.
I guess I was slightly out of shape.
"Not bad little storm dragon slayer." Gajeel panted with a smile, his arm reverting to normal. "But now you're trapped. You're as good as ours."
I glanced behind to see Natsu preparing for another roar, in synchronisation with Gajeel.
"Fire dragon-"
"Iron dragon-"
I clapped my hands together and both men paused halfway through their attacks, a questioning look on their faces. I gave a wise, knowing smile.
"Storm dragon thunderclap!"
The loud booming of rolling thunder emitted from my hands and assaulted the men's highly sensitive ears. For them, it would have been as if they had been flying through a thunderstorm. They fell to their knees with a splash clutching their ears with muted screams and groans, their attacks completely forgotten.
I smiled sweetly and wandered past Gajeel. I almost felt sorry for him; I knew the sound of thunder right in one's ears very well. Lieka had sent me to train in violent storms often to get a feel of a storm's power up close.
"I thought you could only use water dragon slayer magic?" he questioned whilst panting in the water.
I wrinkled my nose and held up three fingers.
"Ngalokhe or storm magic is composed of three main magics; water, lightning and thunder. These three magics are combined to create storm magic. If you think controlling fire or iron is hard, try controlling three at the same time." I said listing the three magics in his face. "I'm not quite yours yet tame dragon slayers so let's keep playing this game a little longer."
I sent Gajeel a sweet wink before exiting the water and vaulting over a small bush and disappeared into the thick forest, my tail flicking a goodbye to the subdued dragon slayers.
xXx
Natsu sat up, rubbing his ringing ears, trying to get the persistent noise out of his ears. He looked to his fellow companion who was going through the same motions, staring off into the bushes where the wild Kyoya had disappeared.
"Hey Gajeel, we'll definantly catch her wont we?" he mused excitedly. "She's pretty strong to have taken us both down, ne?"
Gajeel got to his feet, flicking his hair over his shoulder. He departed from the water and picked up his top.
"Yeah, I'm not going to let her win this 'game' of hers. She'll make an ideal mate." He said dashing after the pretty blonde. "Wait here for Happy and Lilly, I'll bring our storm dragon back."
Natsu scratched the back of his head, making his drying pink spikes sway.
"We came for a demon and found a wild dragon slayer. I can't wait to take her back." He said with a carefree grin up into the sky.
