Prologue

"I am an Angel.", said a voice Natsu felt familiar with.

He looked at her, and found that she has a long blonde hair that reached her mid-waist. Her chocolate brown eyes stared into his dull onyx ones with a hint of curiosity, innocence and a lot more emotions that he couldn't seem to put his finger on. She was wearing a white sleeveless dress that reaches her knees and exposed a fair amount of her porcelain skin. For some reason, she was bare-footed but there was no sign of brown dirt on her feet.

He looked back at her face for any sign of humor but found none.

"I have a mission... ", she started and intrigued him why she seem so hesitant. And for some reason, her innocent brown eyes captured his fully, "...and it involves you."

He noticed her hands fidgeting but she kept her gaze on him. He didn't say a word, for he couldn't find the words to say. All he knew was his feet was glued to the ground and his eyes refused to leave her form.

"My name is Lucy and until I completed my mission, I will stay here on earth so please take care of me.", she said with a bow that instantly turned his stoic face turn into confusion and shock as the bit of information suddenly sunk in his brain.

"Wait.. WHAT?!"

Well, at least he finally said something.

Chapter 1 (Little Angel)

Natsu hated going to school. Going to school meant he had to deal with teachers, and girls who thought he was just a game. He sighed and sipped on his water bottle, he was at his usual seat in the rowdy cafeteria but at least having his friends beside him was a plus.

They had their own spot in the cafeteria and nobody dared to sit on it, besides them. It was sort of an unspoken rule. In fact, it was one of the few that kept Fairy High intact.

Together with him on the table were Gray the stripper, Gajeel the metal head, Loke the flirt, Jellal the silent-type, Erza the she-devil, Cana the alcoholic, Levy the bookworm and Juvia the stalker-ish girl. They were really popular in their school but for Natsu, they were just a bunch of weirdoes.

He was very popular with the female population, not because he was the most handsome, most athletic, or most intelligent (though he must admit that he scored pretty high on those). Before, he was just a dork, a nobody that people wouldn't take a second at if it wasn't for his pink hair. But years ago, he changed and suddenly grew cold.

A rumor spiked and pretty soon, girls flocked around him; determined to be the one to get his heart. He suddenly was had a reputation for women, but it didn't take a genius to figure out that he was treated as a game. A game of whose confession he would accept.

And the winner shall receive a boost of their ego.

That was why he hated girls. They were too superficial. The only girls he could tolerate were his friends, his mother Grandeeney, and his sister Wendy.

Well, not that he was pinning on the other side because of what happened. In fact, he could still feel attraction for some women he laid his eyes on, but it was most of the time crushed by the fact that he just didn't like clingy and annoying girls.

And like in all movies, three girls appeared silencing the whole table.

"N-Natsu-kun! I b-baked a cake for you.", a girl with purple hair stuttered out. She presented a heart-shaped cake with strawberries on top.

"I don't want it.", Natsu replied coldly, wondering when this silly game of theirs would stop. His head was starting to ache. He didn't want this. He didn't ask for this.

"B-but I did my best for this cake I even-"

"I said I don't want it damn it!", he shouted; shooting the girl a deadly glare. The girl gulped and look at him with fear in her eyes. She stuttered and tried to gather her wits as her so-called friends urged her on.

"B-But at least try it! I tried to perfect I all night and-", she was cut off when Natsu shoved the cake into her, the icing clung onto her body leading to an ugly sight of smudged cake on her uniform. The girl's body trembled as her loud cries silenced the whole cafeteria.

"You don't have to be so mean Natsu-kun!", said one of the girl's friends while patting the girl's back. The crying girl was accompanied by her friends away from Natsu. The salmon-haired raised a brow when he saw the glint of happiness in the eyes of one of the girl's friends. It made him feel disgusted.

"You don't have to do that Natsu. The girl have feelings too you know.", Levy said gently. A soft sigh escaped her lips and as if on cue, the whole cafeteria turned back to normal; as if the little drama didn't happen.

Natsu just rolled his eyes and took a bite on his pizza that was dripping in hot sauce.

"Just let him be shrimp, he won't listen to anybody."

"That's right Natsu! You shouldn't do that to the cake!", Erza said with clenched fist. Feeling bad for the ruined cake, and it was strawberry cake too!

"Juvia thinks that you're missing the point here, Erza-san."

"Oh, the poor girl! I should go and comfort the beautiful lady.", Loke said dramatically while Gray just rolled his eyes.

"Come on guys, we all know that Natsu doesn't have the balls to be around girls that like him.", Cana said with mockery while sipping her drink.

"Stop it, Cana.", Jellal said with a sigh.

"Stop screwing around guys. We all know that even an angel can't make Natsu change.", the raven-haired said with a smirk that made Natsu freeze on his seat. The others quickly noticed the sudden change on the salmon-haired's mood but before they can interrogate him, he quickly stood up to leave the area.

"I'm out of here...", he announced leaving his friends confused with his actions.

Natsu walked his way to the back part of the school and went to his secret passage to get out of school. He wasn't in the mood to attend his classes anyway. He soon got out without being caught and went straight to the old park near his school.

He didn't even bother to change his clothes as he was going to go straight home after his little errand. The park was almost empty, if not for some of the vendors scattered around the area, after all; it was still school and office hours and the scorching heat from the sun was keeping people in their houses or at least, under a cool shade.

He went straight to the abandoned playground in the park and was thankful for the trees blocking the sun's rays. He scanned the area, and looked for a certain blonde woman.

"I guess she was just messing with me. Tch. Why did I even bother?", he said in annoyance as he remembered the scene that took place that night.

"Wait.. WHAT?"

"I'm an angel. My name is Lucy and I'm here because of a mission that involves you.", the blonde repeated.

"Wait, no! What the heck are you saying?! Is this some sick joke? Do you expect me to believe that you're an angel?! Heck, you don't even have wings and I swear that if you're just messing with me I'll-"

"I am an Angel!", Natsu stopped at the girl's sudden outburst. He took note that she was a weird angel with a bad temper.

"And no swearing!", she said with a glint of annoyance in her eyes, making him half-amused and half-irritated. Aren't angels supposed to be nice?

"Prove it, Little Angel. Show me your wings.", he said with low growl.

"I have a name you know, and it's not Little Angel! What's up with humans and wings anyway? Are wings the only way you can identify an angel?"

He shrugged and grinned at her. He was quite confident that she was a fake.

"Fine.", Lucy grumbled and soon there was a strange glow coming off from her. Natsu squinted at the light, it wasn't really blinding, in fact, it doesn't hurt looking at it even if it was so bright; it actually gives off something... heavenly but Natsu's eyes still reacted that way for it still wasn't used to the new source of light on that dull night.

His mouth hanged open as he saw the blonde angel. The wings behind her back looked so soft and beautiful. A golden halo was floating at the crown of her head that matches the color of her hair. Her eyes had a glint of happiness and everything about her is practically glowing.

The only thing that is off on her angelic look is the smirk on her face that Natsu wanted to wipe oh-so-badly.

He felt her delicate hands on his chin; closing his mouth in a way that made the boy blush a little. Soon, she returned to normal and her wings and halo was starting to disappear along with the unearthly glow of her body.

"Do you believe me now?", she asked, her smirk still plastered on her face.

"Hell yeah! Because even heaven would want to kick out some feisty Angels like you.", he smirked proudly at his comeback, but it was short-lived as comment quickly earned him a kick on the leg.

"Aww shit! Fuck, did you just kick me?!"

"And what if I did you insensitive jerk?!", the girl snapped. She huffed grumbling about how she was so unlucky to get a jerk as her guide.

"What? So you were kicked out?"

"No!", she shouted indignantly. "I told you, I'm on a mission!"

"Tch. What will you get from this mission anyway?", the salmon-haired asked as the pain in his leg started to disappear. He swore to get revenge on her later.

"I'll get a wish."

"A wish?"

"Yup! And I really want to finish this mission so I'll get that wish!"

"What do you want so badly that you'll go down from heaven here to earth just to fulfill it?", Natsu said eyeing the blonde.

"It's a secret.", the girl said with a playful smile.

"Then I guess I won't help you, Little Angel."

"What? No! You've got to help me! Please Natsu!"

"No. Why would I want to help somebody like you?"

"Because...", she looked down and bit her lip. He was right, he wouldn't gain anything from this.

"See, you can't even give a good reason. So why should I?"

"But Natsu!"

"Look here, I don't have time for your plays and I certainly don't want to waste my time on you. How did you even know my name? I don't remember giving it to you.", he said with scrutinizing eyes. Maybe she was a stalker? A stalker angel?

"I told you, right? My mission involves you so it's only natural that I'll know your name.", she answered in a tone like his question was the dumbest one she had ever heard.

"You're always saying that the mission involves me but you never actually told me what exactly the mission is.", he said brushing off her tone.

"It's... too complicated okay. I'll explain when we get there and we'll only get there if you'll agree to help me!", she said with an exasperated tone.

"Then you could at least tell me why you want to do this mission so badly.", he said with finality. She let out with a frustrated whine and he gave her a pointed look. They stared at each other for a while before she averted her gaze with a sigh.

"It's because I.. I made a promise with someone that I'll always... always come back to him... no matter what. I already broke my promise of not leaving him and I don't want to break another one."

Natsu stared at her for a second, and noticed that her eyes were always unguarded. He found it amusing that he could always read her emotions easily, but at that moment, he didn't like the sadness in it. He watched as the sadness was mix with another emotion, and it was hope. A hope that he would somehow help her.

"And with this mission you can go back to that person?", he said carefully, like he wanted to be sure that the facts he got were all true.

"Sort of."

"Sort of? Why sort of? Why not a direct yes or no?"

"Because I don't know if that will be the case! Mira said that I'll meet him again but she didn't specify that I'll stay! But even though it's just like that, I just want to see him again! I just want to tell him what I wasn't able to say before I... before I died.", Natsu looked at the blonde. His throat felt dry when as he watched her tears silently flowed down cheeks.

He didn't know her, but he felt the strangest urge to beat himself up for opening the topic. But then again, it was only natural for him to ask for details about what he was going to himself into right?

"So will you please, please help me?"

He took a deep breath and sighed. He needed to think about this thoroughly and NOT jump into hasty decisions he might regret.

"Look, give me some time to think about it, I have a feeling that this will affect me greatly so I have to think this through.", he said with a sigh. If it was any other girl, he would have turned them down before they could explain, but something about the blonde was keeping him from saying a NO.

Lucy wiped the tear stains on her cheeks then smiled.

"I didn't know that you're the kind who uses their head Natsu.", she said playfully that made the salmon-haired teen glare at her; though a big part of the boy was happy that she was back to normal.

Natsu scanned the area once again and was about to leave the area when he heard giggles coming from the playhouse. The playhouse could actually fit at least 4-6 people and it has chairs inside. He peeped through the small window and saw blonde hair. He was facing her back and he took his time to watch her shoulders shake from giggling.

He also noticed that she was holding something in her hand. He decided to tap the windows lightly to get the blonde's attention.

She looked at his way and she flashed him a wide smile.

"Yo.", he said while raising his arms a little. He offered her a small smile.

"Natsu!", the blonde said excitedly. She shot up on her seat and immediately regretted it.

"Hey be care... ful", the pink-haired man trailed off as he watched Lucy hit her head on the ceiling of the playhouse. The playhouse was spacious but it was still built for kids so people around their age couldn't exactly stand up there. He watched her exit the house through the small door; one hand rubbing her head while the other was holding something blue.

Lucy made her way towards his direction and he couldn't help but laugh at her pouting and on-the-verge-of-crying face.

"Hey it hurts you know.", she said and moved to smack his stomach hard, effectively making him gasp for some air.

"Tch. Violent Little Angel.", he muttered under his breath leading the blonde to glare at him. He examined her carefully and found out that she was exactly the same way he left her last night. He did a double take and his mind was plague with the thoughts of her staying in the playground; alone.

"Did you wait for me here all night? Alone?"

"Yeah. How did you know oww! That seriously hurts, Natsu!", she sputtered indignantly as he flicked her forehead. He clicked his tongue in disapproval as he couldn't believe that he just let a girl spend the night outside... alone.

He may hate girls but not that much, that he would let one outside all alone. Or maybe, this girl was the only exception.

"Why did you do that?! What if something happened to you? You could have been attacked by some strange men you know. You could have-"

"Are you worried?", she said with a knowing smile.

"What? No! It's just that if ever something happened to you it would be on my conscience!"

"Oh. Well, sorry, it's just that you haven't agreed to help me on the mission so I can't really ask for a place to stay.", Lucy said shyly that made Natsu stare at her. She yelped in pain and rubbed her sore forehead when Natsu flicked it again while saying that she was a weirdo.

"Stupid Jerk.", she muttered while rubbing her sore forehead.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing.", the blonde said with a pout that made the pink-haired laugh. Somehow, his hand involuntary brush his thumb on the place he flicked moments ago to help ease the pain. He stared at her eyes as he did that and he couldn't help but be enticed by those beautiful orbs.

He was snapped out of his trance when he heard a certain noise that made him immediately pull away his hand and clear his throat. All the while wondering what possessed him to do such thing.

Lucy, on the other hand, was still in daze and unconsciously touched the place where Natsu's warmth still lingered.

"You're warm.", she murmured while looking into his eyes.

"Yeah, I kinda have an abnormal body heat.", he tried to shrug it off, and fought the growing blush on his cheeks.

"Oh.", she muttered, her gaze landing on the feline on her hands.

"Oh right! Natsu! They sent Happy here!", she happily chirped while holding the blue cat up to him.

"Who sent the cat?"

"Must be Mira, and Happy's not a cat! He's an exceed!"

"Who's this Mira? You also mentioned her earlier and Happy's obviously a cat, Little Angel."

"Mira's like someone who is in-charge there. She's the one who allowed me to go back here to perform a mission in-exchange of a wish. Happy is not a cat! He's more special than that! And how come you called Happy in his name already while you're still calling me Little Angel?! And I'm not small!"

"Why the heck are we discussing four topics at the same time?"

"Should we discuss it one-by-one then?"

"Nah. I prefer this weird way of talking since it fits the person I'm talking to perfectly.", he said with smirk that made Lucy puff her cheeks in irritation.

"So; are there other Angels like you here on earth then? How come Happy's special than other cats? Besides that he's color blue that is. I don't call girls easily by their names Little Angel; you've gotta earn it... And you are small you weirdo.", he said while stepping closer to her; his body towering over her small figure.

Lucy looked at his smirking face and she couldn't help but feel the blood rushing to her cheeks. She scowled at him to hide her embarrassment but his smirk just grew wider. Their little stare fest was cut off when they heard Natsu's phone rung, making the boy instantly distant himself.

Lucy sighed in relief as she tried to calm down her heart that was beating abnormally fast.

-"Where are you flamebrain?"-

"What do you want, frostbite?"

-"Erza said that if you don't get your ass back here and attend your classes in 15 minutes, she will personally slit your throat."-

"Tell her I'm busy with something important.", Natsu grunted while fighting back the shiver in his spine, ultimately due to the memories of Erza's threat.

-"And what could be that something important, Natsu?"- a stern voice on the other line said.

"I-It's personal okay?"

-"Natsu, I swear if you're lying I'll-"-

"Hey Natsu! Look Happy is special! He even has wings!"

-"N-Natsu, was that a girl's voice I heard?!"-

"I'll call you right back Erza."

"What's that you annoying ang-", he was cut off when he saw the blue cat flying; and it has wings.

"And when I thought that a cat with blue fur can't get any weirder.", he muttered while staring at the cat that looked like it was smiling at him.

"I know right.", the blonde said with a knowing smile.

"Don't tell me it can also talk.", Natsu deadpanned.

"Oh! It actually can. Do you want to hear?" Lucy said excitedly while jumping a little.

"Don't even think about it."
