Chapter 1: Boobs of the Fire Dragon
"Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!"
The stone golem broke apart and shattered into a thousand pieces. Natsu landed lightly on the ground, skidding to a stop as he put out the fire around his fist. He smirked. This job was pretty easy. He could do it alone, without the help of even Happy.
"Man, all these stony guys are annoying," he said. That had been his tenth one already. The ancients apparently wanted to protect this treasure very badly, but they could've at least given him something that was harder to fight. A single Dragon Slayer attack broke the things like a pinata.
Oh, right. His job. Natsu had selected a new job from the board this morning. The request was to find an ancient treasure supposedly hidden in the center of Faithful Mountain, and the reward was a jaw-dropping 1,000,000 Jewel. The Fire Dragon Slayer planned to give some of the money to Lucy to help her with her rent problems, since they'd been really close lately. Right now, however, he was strolling along a simple stone path through the mountain in the job description. Although it was impossible to get lost or stuck here, since there were no turn offs on the path, the skeletons of many previous adventurers littered the floor, felled by the many golems protecting whatever the treasure was.
Natsu brushed off his shirt as he walked and readjusted his scale scarf. "Now to find that treasure."
The path sloped downward and curved a little, and the deeper Natsu ventured into the mountain, the warmer and darker it became. Lucy would've hated it. The pink-haired boy, however, could see just fine due to a torch wrapped in his Fire Dragon Slayer magic. Down here, there was no wind, the air was stuffy, and it was almost eerily silent.
Wait, no, not quite silent. There were the sounds of something walking ahead.
Another golem.
"Geez," he grumbled. "Another one?" He gathered flames in his belly and cupped both of his hands in front of his mouth, a red magic circle blooming into existence between the first hand and his lips. "Roar of the Fire Dragon!"
The burst of flame ripped down the path, charring the walls of the narrow stone path.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" an unfamiliar voice said, sounding panicked. "That's hot! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot! Yowch!"
Natsu blinked. "...Huh?" Golems couldn't talk.
The flames dispersed, or at least, most of them did. A bit of fire had latched on to the clothes of an unfamiliar person, now illuminated by the light of Natsu's fire. The figure was male and old, a short little man strangely similar to Master Makarov. The old guy had frizzled white hair around a rather large bald spot, an equally white moustache, and a comically, almost impossibly long nose. He wore a tannish-yellow cloak over a white shirt and blue pants, the butt of which were on fire.
"...Who the hell are you, ossan?" Natsu deadpanned.
"Who am I!?" the unknown midget sputtered, slapping at the flames on his backside and hopping around in an attempt to put out the fire magic. "How did you enter this cave not knowing who I am!? I'm the - - YOWCH! HOT! - - spirit of this mountain's master - - OWCH! - - Old Faithful!"
The teen's eyes bugged out. "This mountain has a master that's a spirit!?"
"HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW THAT!? THERE WAS AN INSCRIPTION THAT SAID SO AT THE ENTRANCE!"
"I probably burned it by accident..." Natsu muttered to himself with a sweatdrop, remembering how the first golem he'd encountered had been stationed at the entrance to the path. "Anyway, ossan, how can you get burnt if you're a spirit?"
"Well, I have a body," Old Faithful grumbled. By now the flames on his posterior had been reduced to nothing but smoke. "It's an ethereal body, but still a body. All that aside, are you here for the ancients' treasure?"
"Yep."
"I'm here to guard it."
"Eh? So I have to beat you up?"
The wizened midget turned blue and held his hands up in a sign of peace. "Uh, heh heh, no, no need for violence. Actually, I was thinking you could just take it. You're a Dragon Slayer, right? I can tell by that attack."
"Yeah, I'm the Fire Dragon Slayer," Natsu confirmed, blinking. He grinned. "So I can just take it? You're cool, old guy!"
"I was told to guard the treasure until the son of Igneel dropped by," Old Faithful explained. "If you're the Fire Dragon Slayer, than Igneel must have taught that magic to you. You're who I've been waiting for. So yeah, go ahead and take it. The golems won't bother you again, I promise."
He smiled and evaporated into golden mist.
The boy laughed and continued forward through the darkness, his torch lighting the way. "Well, that was weird, but cool! I can just take this treasure thing and leave! Ha, ha, ha! I'm awesome!"
After a few more minutes of walking, he emerged into a large cavern. Torches hung on the walls, casting flickering light into the circular stone room. In the center sat a sort of altar, and on the altar was an old chest with a lock. His mouth a wide 'O' of appreciative surprise, Natsu stepped forward and examined the chest. It was clearly a treasure chest, but the lock was all rusted. A single punch popped it open and it fell away with a metallic clang.
"Alright!" Natsu laughed mock-maniacally. "It's open!"
He eased the lid open and light glared up in his eyes. The pink-haired wizard squinted and peered through the bright rays, a striking contrast to the darkness of the path and the dimness of the torches. When Natsu's eyes readjusted, what he saw sitting in the chest made him turn white.
It was...
"A peach?" Natsu squeaked. "The treasure was a peach?"
Sure enough, a peach lay there, somehow fresh, though pink-colored. Natsu's stomach rumbled. It had been a while since he last ate, and there was no way the treasure could be a damn peach. It did look rather tasty, however.
Eying the fruit suspiciously, he grabbed it, popped it in his mouth, and chewed. Flavor exploded along his tongue.
"Good peach," he mused as he swallowed. It had been amazing. Just the right amount of juice, fruit meat, and not even a core. It was very sweet and even slightly sour, though it somehow balanced these contrasting flavors out perfectly. As the remnants of the peach dropped into his belly, Natsu was left with a satisfied, sleepy feeling.
"Time for... a nap..." he yawned, pitching forward and collapsing across the altar, asleep before he hit it.
"Hey, hey!"
"Igneel's son! Er... daughter?"
"Wake up!"
"I said wake up, dammit!"
Natsu was brought back to the land of the living slowly, his eyes still groggy. His face was laying against something cold and uncomfortable, though the air around him was warm and relaxing. His body felt a bit weird, too, though that could be the result of his still half-asleep brain.
"Oh, wake the hell up already!" the voice of Old Faithful snapped, and Natsu felt a hard fist drive into his back. With a groan of pain, the dragon slayer managed to wake up enough to roll over, staring at the midget who stood on the altar next to him. Wait a minute... why on the altar? Ah, Natsu was laying on it. When he fell asleep after eating that peach, he must've fallen across it.
"Hey, ossan," Natsu groaned sleepily. Something tickled his neck distractingly. "Thought you disappeared."
"Well, yes, I did," the midget admitted, "but when I saw you eat the peach from the afterlife, I got permission to return here and warn you. Don't you feel strange?"
"...What do you mean?"
Old Faithful chuckled nervously, sweating bullets. "Like, is your voice higher? Does your chest feel heavy? Are you missing any... ah, important parts?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Natsu asked, staring at the man with a put-off aura.
With a squeak, said old man jumped onto the floor, out of sight now. "Look at your body..."
The Dragon Slayer looked.
And nearly fainted.
Now Natsu knew why the old man was acting so scared. His chest was abnormally large, nearly the size of Lucy's and only barely hidden by his shirt, which he always left open to show off his six-pack - - which was currently non-existent, by the way. His sides were narrower and curvier, and his hips were wider. Now that he was wide awake, he could tell that something in his crotch, a very important something indeed, was absent, which was most definitely not normal. Instead, it felt like he had an opening between his legs... other than where Number 2 came out. Somehow, Natsu knew that what he had felt tickling his neck was hair.
He was...
He was...
"A girl," Natsu said weakly, and now he could tell something else: His voice was higher like a girl's, though a tomboyish undertone remained. "I'm a... I'm a girl. What the hell happened to me!?" He - - er, she? - - glared in the direction of Old Faithful and jumped off the altar, pointing at him. "You did this to me, didn't you!? Change me back now!"
"Sorry!" the midget gulped. "I didn't do it! The peach did, the peach! I would've warned you about it sooner but I never thought you were going to eat it! It's not actually a peach, it's called the Yuri Fruit, and it turns whoever eats it into a lesbian and attracts females close to the consumer! But obviously boys can't be lesbians, so it turns them into girls... It was hidden in this cave because it could be very dangerous in the wrong hands..."
"I DON'T WANT TO BE A GIRL!" Natsu snapped, anger making an aura of Igneel appear behind her - - no, him! He was still a boy, even if he had a girl's body!
The old man cowered and evaporated into golden mist again.
"DAMMIT! I NEED TO PUNCH SOMETHING! I WANNA BUST THINGS UP! GIVE ME BACK MY MANHOOD!"
The entire guild stared, so silent you could hear a pin drop.
"And that's how I became like this," the pinkette finished up, blushing, scowling, and turning away from their stares. Her - - no, his! - - breasts bounced a little as he did so, because he hadn't had time to wrap them or get a bra yet.
"Well... that was... a strange story?" Lucy offered with a sweatdrop, staring at the boy-turned-girl in front of her.
Well, here's the first chapter of my new Fairy Tail fanfiction! The idea of a fem!Natsu paired with most of the female population of Fairy Tail was too attractive to resist, and so I came up with this. For those of you who didn't figure it out, this chapter was Natsu explaining to the rest of Fairy Tail how he turned into a girl. Despite the avoidance of inappropriate words this chapter, there will be steamy lemons in later chapters.
Please follow/favorite this story! Although doing so is not necessary for me to continue writing, doing so is greatly appreciated. Also, don't forget to leave a review! I love to know what my readers think of my writing and ideas.
