Chapter 2
After a few years, you had been used to the guild's random fights. You and Erza are good friends since the two of you like sweets. So you usually make a ton of cake after she came back from missions.
You also got to know Kinana and the snake whose called Serpentine who immediately warmed up to you.
Isabelle was currently talking with Happy, when Natsu asked if you could come with him to Hargeon.
"Sure, but why?" you asked while patting Serpentine. Natsu told you that he heard a salamander was there. "Maybe it's Igneel!" he said excitedly.
"Alright then let's go!" you said equally as excited. 'Maybe I can ask him if he knows Elementia.' you thought. But then you thought why would a dragon be out in the open. You wanted to tell Natsu this but he looked so happy you just couldn't bring it upon yourself to. You and Natsu called your exceeds and left the guild.
~Timeskip~
Natsu's POV
I quickly got out of the 'death trap' (train) and fell out. I like that I'm a dragon slayer but sometimes I wished I didn't have this stupid motion sickness.
"You good there, Natsu?" Happy asked me. I nod still feeling a bit sick.
"Here drink some water Natsu." (Y/N) said while handing me a water bottle. I blushed and thanked her for the water. Happy noticed the blush and said "You love her~." I blushed more but thankfully MC didn't seem to notice.
"Let's get going." I said and we continued on to Hargeon.
MC's POV
We were currently wandering around town in search of the' Salamander' that was said to be here.
"Hey Happy, they meant Igneel right when they said Salamander?" Natsu asked Happy. "Aye! I can only think of no one else when they said Salamander except for Igneel." said Happy cheerfully. (I don't remember what he said.) 'Well it could also be Elementia in her fire dragon form.' I thought.
Just then, we heard a bunch of women shouting, no screaming "Salamander-sama!" "You're the best! " "I love you Salamander-sama!" We look to where they were running to. The group of women were crowding around someone or something.
"Maybe that's him over there!" Natsu shouted and ran forcing me and the two exceeds no choice but to run after him.
"Igneel! Igneel! It's me Natsu!" Natsu shouted pushing through the crowd of women. While he did that, he subconsciously breaking a girl with blonde hair out of a spell.
When we finally reached him, Natsu had a look of disappointment. "Who the hell are you?" he asked the man
with a blank face.
The man looked taken aback but then smirked. "Would you remember if I said Salamander?" but Natsu had already walked away.
But before he could reach us, the crowd of now angry women started to beat him up. "How rude of you!" one of the women screamed.
"Apologise to Salamander-sama right now."
"Salamander-sama is a great wizard!"
"All of you are crazy!" Natsu shouted. I giggled and felt sorry for the poor guy. "Now now, I'm sure he didn't mean anything about it ladies." 'Salamander' said. All the women were gushing at him.
"Here you can have my autograph." said 'Salamander'. "Now you can brag it to your friends." But Natsu just said he didn't want it which made the women beat him up again.
"I must go now ladies but you're all invited to my yatch this evening." He then looked at my direction and winked. "Especially you." I rolled my eyes. He then got on top of a flying carpet and went on his way.
"Who the hell was that guy?" Natsu asked clearly angered by that man. "What a scumbag." I said. "Aye!" "Yup!" Both Happy and Isabelle said at the same time. "He's a big phony and disgusting." We all turned towards a busy blonde haired girl. "I'm Lucy Heartfilia by the way, thanks for helping me."
~Timeskip~
"Thank you for the food!" Natsu and Happy thanked Lucy. "It's no problem but please eat slowly." Lucy said. (Y/N) and Isabelle were eating neatly while Natsu and Happy scarfed down their food. "So you're Natsu, Happy, MC and Isabelle, correct?" she asked. You nodded.
"Mind if I ask what you four we're doing in Hargeon?" Lucy asked. "We were trying to find Igneel." Happy said. "Oh, what does he look like ?" Lucy asked. "He has scales and wings." Happy replied. "So he looks like a dragon?" Lucy asked weirded out by the fashion choice. "No, he is a dragon." Natsu said like it's the not the bizarrest thing while leaning on his chair.
"What!?" Lucy screamed. She looked at me for confirmation. I just nodded. "Why would a dragon be in the middle of town?" she asked. Natsu and Happy looked dumbfounded while me and Isabelle were laughing. "She does have a point, Natsu." I said after laughing. “Well looks like me and Isabelle have to get going. We'll see you guys later.” (Y/N) stood up with Isabelle on her head and said goodbye to them.
(Y/N) was about to walk back to the guild.
“Hey, have you heard? 'Salamander' is going to have a party tonight.” (Y/N) turned towards the voice. She saw some girls talking.
“Who's that?” one of her friends asked.
“You mean you don't know? He's one of Fairy Tail's strongest wizard. I heard he uses fire magic.”
(Y/N) tensed at the words. “This isn't good. I have a bad feeling about this but I promised Mira I would help her at the bar.” she spoke to herself. “Hey (Y/N), I've got an idea.” Isabelle said. Isabelle then told her plan to (Y/N). “That could work. Are you sure you can do it?” (Y/N) asked her exceed. “Don't worry about me. Remember what happened to the last person who broke a promise to Mira?” Isabelle reminded her. (Y/N) shuddered and let Isabelle go back into the restaurant.
~Timeskip brought to you by Natsu and Happy eating everything~
“Oh, (Y/N)! Welcome back!” Mirajane greeted her. “Mira. So what are we going to do today.” (Y/N) usually helps Mira with chores and helping at the bar.
“Oh, the master said someone requested you to go on a job. After you get back, you can just relax.” Mira said while handing (Y/N) a piece of paper. (Y/N) read through it and nodded. “Well I'll be going then.”
The job was to find out what kept taking food and other things from the nearby village. As soon as (Y/N) got to the village,she got tackled by something. Before she could see what it was, it quickly ran away. All she could see was a white tail.
She stood up and dusted herself and went to the chief. The chief told her that it's been a week since the thing came to the village. “It usually strikes when food has been left out.” the chief told her. (Y/N) then got an idea. She decided to lure the creature with some food from the village.
It was already dark when her trap had been laid out. “Now all I have to do is wait. I wonder how Isabelle is doing.”
During this time, Isabelle was with Natsu and Happy. Isabelle and Happy had carried Lucy to the beach. “Achoo.” Isabelle sneezed. “Are you okay, Isabelle?” Lucy asked. “Yeah, I'm fine.”
Back to you,
Suddenly, there was a rustle in the bushes. (Y/N) was waiting on a roof. Then a white cat with two tails came out and immediately went for the food. When it neared the food, the magic seal (Y/N) on the plate activated. The cat then got trapped in a white bubble.
(Y/N) got down and started walking to the cat. The cat had black stripes on both of its tails and a diamond pattern on its forehead. (Y/N) popped the bubble and caught the cat. It's red eyes looked at (Y/N) as she looked at the cat. “Well aren't you a cutie?” she said petting the cat.
(Y/N) then told the chief that the creature was none other than a cute cat. The chief then looked at the cat and remembered something. He took out a book and flipped through it. “Ah, I was right. Here have a look.” (Y/N) read the page. Nekomata, a two-tailed demon cat with red eyes, markings on their forehead and two tails. It is said to have two forms one being a small cat and the other being a saber-toothed cat.
“Maybe you should keep it.” the village chief said. “It could be your other reward.” “Other reward? Thank you but the nekomata is enough.” (Y/N) tried to refuse. “No no, I think you should have it. We don't know what to do with it.” the chief then handed her a gate key. It had the tiger zodiac symbol. “A gate key? How did you?”
“One of the villagers found it. But we had no idea what it was. So please accept this.” (Y/N) thanked the chief and started her way back to the guild.
Suddenly, the nekomata decided to jump out of her arms. “Huh, what are you doing?” (Y/N) asked it. The nekomata then transformed into a bigger version of itself but with sharp fangs protruding out of its mouth.
“So this is your other form. Looks like I'll have to ask Levy if she has any books on you. But before that, let's give you name, shall we?” (Y/N) said. The nekomata tilted its head. “How about Nekoma?” It shook its head. “No? Well how about Blanc?” Another head shake. “Hmm, how about, Kirara?” It nodded its head. “Well, Kirara it is then.” (Y/N) then got on top of the nekomata and Kirara ran back to the guild.
~Timeskip~
“We made it. You can stop now, Kirara.” (Y/N) got off of Kirara. She then opened the guild door and almost immediately a table almost hit her if it weren't for Kirara smashing the table. “Thank you.” (Y/N) said petting Kirara. Kirara then transformed back into its first form.
“(Y/N), are you ok?” (Y/N) turned towards the voice and spotted Levy. She went towards the blue haired beauty with Kirara in her arms. “I'm fine, Levy. Thanks to this little one.” Levy eyes widened. “(Y/N), that's a female nekomata.” she said. “Oh, so it's a female huh? Before you ask, I found her on a job.” The (h/c) told Levy about the job. “Well it looks like you've got another companion. Just don't tell Isabelle I said this but I think Kirara is almost as cute as her.” Levy said, petting the cat.
“Yeah, speaking of which, are they back yet?” (Y/N) asked glancing around. “Nope, they're not.” Levy said. “Oh, right? Hey Levy, how did you know what Kirara was?” “Well, that's easy. I'm coincidentally reading a book about them.” she said holding up a book with the picture of a nekomata. “Great, can you tell me how to take care of them? ” (Y/N) asked Levy. “Sure. But let's do it tomorrow. It's almost getting late.” “Right.”
