Finally… after procrastinating for so long, the sequel to "You are Loved Natsu Dragneel", and one of the first ideas I have ever though of long before I even started to write on this site, "Unity" is here!

Granted this will mostly end up being cringe worthy, edgy, embarrassing, and all of that and more, but hey, we do this for fun; I don't expect anyone to take this stuff seriously.

You know, to tell the truth, the basic idea of this story, Natsu/E.N.D having a somewhat different past, him secretly being depressed, an enemy that Natsu met in the past, the girls having feelings for him and vice versa, him healing mentally and moving on, and facing against threats that someone in Natsu's past fell to and fought against, all of this was one of the first ideas I've had since forever. When I got on this site, I figured that I would mainly be focusing on these kinds of ideas that I just listed.

But look how that turned out, I've been doing different ideas instead, and kept forgetting to start this one. But now here we are. Hopefully you all enjoy it. But if you think that this is a piece of trash, that works too. You all have your own opinions after all.

So summary: Natsu and the girls have set off for a new life for them. Along the way they meet new allies as well to join them in their travels. However, an enemy from Natsu's past has resurfaced, and now our heroes must go to lands they never knew and help unite to stop the Black Council. However, as this happens, another threat arises once more, an enemy that could pose a threat to both our heroes and the Black Council.

This will have OCs, similar to like those in "Light's Hope", though to be fair in some stories and future ones, OCs I may have will end up being the same people just with different origins and all of that. This will also contain crossover elements, but if you all know me by now you all would have expected that.

So enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.

Everything belongs to their respective owners.

Chapter One: Sharing for the Night

It was currently night as the residents of the small town were either closing shop, getting ready to go to their homes and sleep, or were on their way back to their homes. The only ones staying up at this time would be the guards that patrol the streets to make sure that no criminals or other unusual things take place. The small town itself was a bit far from any other town or city in the Fiore country, as it was pretty close to the Fiore-Bosco Border. None of the less, the people went on to their own way.

In one of the hotels of the small town, on the second floor of the building, there was a rather large apartment that could fit ten people if needed to. The living area was large, with multiple couches and a few rocking chairs, as well as a large modern living room table in the center surrounded by the other pieces of furniture. Connected to the living room with no wall blocking the way was a large kitchen, which contains a large refrigerator, a double oven, a long counter, and all the things a kitchen needed to be complete. Also connecting to the living room was a hallway that leads to multiple bedrooms, with those closer to the edges of the building having windows to look out of. The apartment also has a large balcony which was also connected to the living room.

All in all, this large apartment looked very expensive to purchase or rent. However in actuality, the place was pretty cheap. The reason was that many people not from the town were a bit fearful staying at a place so close to the Fiore-Bosco Border, and since Bosco has a slave trade in the nation, people were fearful of those from the other side of the border coming here and snatching them up to be slaves.

This didn't stop one individual who was currently relaxing in the large living room of the opened space. Sitting comfortable on the couch was a man who was wearing rather oddly leather armor. The outfit he wore consisted of grey and gold colored chest piece, leggings, boots, and even gloves. He wore shoulder pads that had a decorative long bodied dragon with the head sticking out with their mouths opened at the edge of the armor piece. The man even wore a similar styled helmet, blocking anyone from seeing his face, and this leaving what he looked like underneath it a mystery. The only thing visible was his yellow eyes that the head piece's opened up spot showed.

This man was simply named Flamy, a traveler that originally came from the country of Caelum.

His parents weren't the best at coming up with names.

"Aaaaah, this is the life," Flamy stated to say to himself, as he smiled happily while putting his arms behind his head, "I got this whole room to myself, no people around to bother me, yeah… this is perfect."

Another thing to know about the hotel, is that if more people needed to stay the night, but if all of the other rooms were full, then sometimes those with enough space will have to share with others. Thankfully for Flamy, the odds of that happening with him were pretty low.

Or so he thought.

Before the leather wearer could dose into sleep, the door to the apartment was heard opening. This got Flamy to widen his eyes as well as feeling annoyed.

"…Aaaand its ruin." Flamy spoke up in disappointment, now annoyed that he will have to share with other people.

Before he could get up and check, another voice, to which he assumes was from whoever was being forced to share this nice apartment with him, spoke up.

"Hello? Is there anyone here?" The voice, which seemed to belong to a woman, was heard not far from the living room.

"Are you sure someone else is here?" Another voice, this one sounding that it belongedto a male, asked his companions.

"The desk clerk did inform us that we would be sharing a room with someone already here. I doubt they would be lying about something like that." A different woman's voice spoke up to answer the male's question.

Flamy sighed as he might as well greet whoever is now here to share HIS apartment now, since making enemies with whoever these guys were wouldn't do no good for the leather wearer.

"Who's there mon?" Flamy spoke up, getting off of the couch and headed to where the front door was located, which also got the attention of the new arrivals.

When the door was in sight, he was greeted with the sight with the weirdest group he's ever seen, mainly due to their different hair colors. The leather wearer saw a number of eight people, with seven of them being female, with only one male in the group.

Flamy saw one girl have long blonde hair tied up in a ponytail on the back of her head, a woman with long red hair that went down her back, another one had short purple hair, two girls that had white hair though one of them had it much shorter compared to the other, another woman who had long brown hair and was only wearing a bikini instead of a shirt for some reason, and the seventh woman had long blue colored hair. The only male in the group had pink spiky hair, and had a white scarf around his neck.

These were the ones who left Fairy Tail due to their treatment of one of their members, the male on in the group. These were Lucy, Erza, Kinana, Mirajane, Lisanna, Cana, Juvia, and of course Natsu himself.

"Oh, hello there," Mira spoke up to the leather wearer, as she held up a hand for him to shake, "You must be who we're sharing this apartment with for the night. It's nice to meet you." She greeted him, as the nice person she is.

Flamy stared at the hand for a moment, as he as was still a bit sadden that he wouldn't have this nice apartment all to himself for the night. However he returned the handshake as he looked at the group of eight in front of him.

"It's nice to meet you too mon," He replied back, trying to sound as polite as possible even though he didn't want anyone else to be here, "My name is Flamy, since we're stuck together until the next day, I guess it's best if we know each other's name."

"Flamy?" Natsu questioned with confusion, though even the girls were also confused by the name.

"My parents weren't the best at names mon, so don't question it." Was Flamy's only reply back to the pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer.

The group of eight merely looked at once another before Erza stepped forward to introduce herself. Like the leather wearer said, it was probably wise for them to know each other's names since they were are sharing the same apartment.

"My name is Erza Scarlet; it's nice to meet you." The red head told her name to the leather wearer.

"I'm Lucy Heartfilia." Lucy introduced herself as well.

"The name's Cana Alberona." Cana greeted the man.

"I'm Mirajane Strauss, and this is my little sister Lisanna Strauss." Mira spoke to Flamy, as she also told him Lisanna's name.

"It's nice to meet you." Lisanna replied back with her ever gentle smile.

"Juvia's my name; it's an honor to meet you." Juvia was the next to speak to their roommate.

"I'm Kinana, I hope we get along well." The purple haired woman told the leather wearer.

"And I'm Natsu Dragneel." Natsu finished the introductions with a large smile on his face.

"…That's a lot of names," Flamy admitted, but shrugged it off as he went back to the couch in the living room, "But whatever mon, it's nice to meet you all. The bedrooms are in the hallway to the right if you're wondering." He informed them.

After saying those words, the leather wearer collapsed back onto the couch face first, silently crying anime tears since he no longer had the whole apartment to himself. Since he was wearing his helmet, as well as his face being buried into the couch below him, the others didn't notice.

"Alright then," Erza then turned to where the others were at, "I guess we should head to these rooms and get settled in for the night."

"I call sharing a room with Natsu!" Cana exclaimed as she hugged the pink haired male's arm, getting the Fire Dragon Slayer to blush from the contact.

"Hey!" The other six women shouted out, annoyed that the Card Mage just got to the claim before any of them did.

"What? I haven't got to share a room with him in a hotel yet while all of you have. I think it's my turn," Cana informed them, remembering the last few times they had to stay at a hotel during their travel the other girls managed to share a room with the pink haired male. The brown haired woman then turned her gaze toward a still blushing Natsu, before she had a rather affectionate smile, "Don't you think so too Natsu?"

"I… well… uh…" Natsu tried to find the words, but it was hard due to Cana's pushing her chest into his arm, as well as the rather affectionate look she had that was making his heart beat faster. Cana, as well as the other girls, couldn't help but all giggle a little due to how adorable he looked while blushing and nervous.

"Alright, enough teasing him Cana," Erza told the Card Mage, before the red head sighed, "I guess that's fair for you to be with him for the night."

As much as the red head woman hated to admit, she knew that the bedrooms in the apartment wouldn't be able to fit them all in one room, no matter how much she and the other girls wanted too so they can all be with Natsu.

"Great! Let's go Natsu!" Cana told Natsu, before dragging him to where the bedrooms were all at. Despite being dragged and being embarrassed by the seven girls' words, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face as he went along with the brown haired woman.

The other girls were about to head to the bedroom as well, before Lucy, Erza, Juvia, and Lisanna noticed that Mirajane and Kinana were going into the kitchen.

"Mira? Kinana? What are you two doing?" Lucy asked the white haired and purple haired woman, who looked back at the others.

"We figured that Natsu and all of you would be hungry, so we're going to make us some dinner." Kinana informed the other four women.

At the mention of food, Flamy stood straight up from the couch as he quickly turned his head toward where the two cooks were at.

"Food?!" He asked happily, as he dashed over to where Mira and Kinana were at, getting the others to be surprised by his sudden hyper attitude, "Can you make me some too mon? I promise to help make it!" Flamy told them. When it came to food, he was willing to do anything to get it. Mira smiled brightly at his excitement, as she wouldn't mind doing so.

"Sure, we don't mind." Mira informed the leather wearer, getting him to jump excitedly by her approval.

The others couldn't help but sweat drop at seeing the man's excitement, though it did get them to smile a little, glad that they were getting along with this guy who they were sharing the apartment with. With that, Erza, Lucy, Juvia, and Lisanna headed to where the bedrooms were at; while Mira, Kinana, and Flamy went on to make them all dinner.

Here we all go. I get the feeling that this story is going to be way longer than even "The Children of the Future" so hope you enjoy the ride. Or want off of it. It's up to you really.

So what did you all think? Good? Bad? Want me to drink bleach? Let me know.

See you all next time, whenever that will be.
