Bleeding hearts

Chapter one

"normal speech."

'Thoughts'

"Flashbacks"

"Igneel! Where'd you go Igneel?" A eight year old Natsu yelled as he wondered through the forest. He whipped at the tears that fell from his eyes. Just the night before Igneel gave him the only gift he had ever received and it was currently wrapped around his neck. "Agh! Igneel where are you!" Natsu yelled as his magic spiked causing a explosion. His father has promised him he would help control his magic soon but now it seemed like he would explode if he didn't learn to control himself. As the fire died away Natsu tried to calm himself. "Why did you lie to me Igneel?" Natsu cried as he slowly picked himself up. As he made his way through the forest he saw a rather large village set atop of a hill. Never seeing anything like that before he went to investigate. ''Maybe Igneel is there.' Natsu thought as he ran towards the village. As Natsu neared the village he saw people that looked like him! Igneel always said people looked different from dragons but there they were! As Natsu ran through the streets he felt his heart began to pump harder and faster. All the new smells were amazing! As Natsu was looking around he bumped into a man's leg.

"Hey watch it kid!" The man said pushing Natsu down onto the ground. Natsu shot up and looked at the man.

"Hey what was that for?" Natsu yelled. The blond man grabbed a fist full of pick hair and picked Natsu up to face him.

"What was that Pinkie?" The man said as Natsu cried out in pain before putting his hand into a fist.

"I'll show you!" Natsu yelled as he punched the man square in the noise with a flaming fist. The man cried out in pain as he stumbled back letting Natsu go. "I'm not done yet! Fire dragon's...ROAR!" The small child yelled as he shot a wave of flames at the man. The man screamed in pain as the fire burned his skin and caused the building behind the attack to catch fire. The sudden explosion sent the town's people into a panic. Natsu watched in horror as the man stopped his screaming and fell to the ground. His flames never hurt Igneel, ever. So why did he burn that man?

"He killed Teric!" A man yelled as he charged Natsu.

"Wait!" Natsu yelled as he swung his hand up and released another wave of flames hitting the man across the chest. The man howled in pain as he dropped to the ground in a desperate attempt to put out the flames. Natsu watched as the fire spread from house to house as people screamed all around him.

"There it is!" Natsu shot his head to the side to see several men in armor charge at him. "After that monster!" The caption of the guard yelled as he and his men chased the creature through the now flaming streets. Natsu ran as fast as he could from the men. As he was running, a arrow shot past him and cut a slender cut just below his jaw. As Natsu grabbing his neck another arrow hit him in his left arm causing him to yelp in pain. As he turned a corner he was met with a dead end. Quickly he turned around to be met with the village guards. One of the men with a bow released a arrow and hit Natsu in the thigh and one in his mid section. Natsu hissed out in pain as he fell backwards and landed on his butt.

"I don't want to hurt you!" Natsu yelled and looked up to see one of the guards hand ran towards him and pull up his sword to finish the boy off. Natsu brought his hands up in a desperate attempt to save himself as he closed his eyes waiting for the blow. He felt something wet spill all over him and heard a loud thump. When Natsu opened his eyes he looked up to see the last guard fall over and a teen, maybe five or six years older then him holding a mini scythe covered in blood. The teen himself had short purple hair and sharp gray eyes. As he took his eyes off the teen he was met with large black eyes starring into his before his world grew dark.

"Remember your just tagging along, let me do all the work. Got it Kamika?" The older teen said as they walked down the path.

"I know Kama, I know. But don't you think I'm a little young to be going on this kind of mission?" Kamika asked as she skipped beside Kama.

"Your starting earlier then I did, that's for sure." Kama said as the village came into sight. "Alright, hoods up." Kama said as they both raised their hoods to cover there faces. Once the two were in the village Kama put a hand in front of Kamika. "Were looking for a blond man in his late thirties, he should be in front of the pub." Nodding Kamika looked around until her eyes fell on their target who just lifted a pink haired boy by the hair, "Now all we do is wait until he's alone and-"

"ROAR!"

Kama eyes widened as the pink haired boy shot a torrent of flames at the target. "Whoa." Kamika said as she watched the pink haired boy shot another jet of flames at another attacker.

"Great, just great. Not only did he just melt our meal ticket he's going to burn the entire village to the ground. Come on Kamika." Kama grumbled as he turned to leave. Kamika watched as the pink haired boy ran from the some of the guards.

"We can't just leave him." She said as Kama turned around and grabbed her wrist.

"Yes we can and we are, lets go." Kama said as he once again tried to leave.

"Please?" She said grabbing his shirt and sticking her bottom lip out while making her eyes as large as possible. Kama sighed as he began to stretch his legs.

"You better keep up." He said as he took off in a sprint down the street after the pinket. Using a stack of creates he made it to the roofs and jumped between the gaps as he quickly caught up with pinkie. Some how the idiot ended up in the only dead end in the village. Hearing Kamika land on the same roof he jumped off just in time to cut the man's throat before he could end the other boy's life. Quickly Kama ran and sliced threw the others before they could react. As he turned to see the boy looking at him, Kamika jumped of the roof and went to the boy's side. The boy looked at her before his head fell back and his mouth went open.

"Kama he's hurt!" Kamika yelled as she held the boy in her arms. Kama jogged to the boy's side and bent down to examine him. The boy had been shot three times from what it looked like. The leg and arm would be fine, but the arrow sticking through his midsection would be a problem. A big problem. Quickly removing the other two arrows and then looked around. He found what he was looking for and returned with a flaming stick. He watched the boy flinch in pain as he removed the arrow. Quickly he applied the fire to the wound as he the wound was cauterized. Putting the boy over his shoulder he turned to Kamika. "lets go." He said as he turned to leave. The walk out of the village was silent as the trio walked down the path. While Kamika was busy starring at the boy, Kama kept his eyes on the road. After about an hour of traveling they made camp along the ridge that oversaw the road. When Kama left to talk to their superiors Kamika looked back at the boy. She removed some locks of hair from his face just as the boy's eye's started to open. As he listened to the strange duo make camp he debated his options. If they were like the people at the village he would have to fight again. The pain in his midsection caused him to release a slight growl. When the older one left he felt a hand run across his head as he slowly opened his eyes. The girl in front of him was no older then he. She had large gray eyes and had long black hair. Her cloak hid most of her body as she looked down at him. Natsu tried to turn and run but felt pain shoot throughout his body. "I won't hurt you." She said in a calm voice. Natsu slightly relaxed as he looked around. They were currently on a small cliff looking over the valley below. Hearing the approaching of the other he turned around to see the older teen. The teen was most likely four to five years older then Natsu. Natsu looked to the girl as she smiled at him.

"The elders have agreed, he will be tested by Balthasar. What's your name Pinkie?" The teen asked looking at Natsu.

"N-Natsu."

the girl smiled before grabbing his hand and shaking it. "Nice to meet you Natsu. His name is Kama and I'm Kamika, I hope we can be friends."

Onyx eyes opened as he sat up and stitched his aching arms. 'Kamika. How long has it been?' The pink haired mage rolled from his bed and stood as he prepared for his day. Walking over to the large wardrobe he opened the doors to find several articles of clothing. Some large coats were trimmed with thick fur while elegant suits were neatly presented. He began to button up a white long sleeve shirt and black pants. Leaving his room he was met with a semi busy hallway. As he walked down the living quarters he slowed as he heard distant cries behind one of the new recruits doors. 'This is the new dragon slayer they were talking about? Pathetic. Though I can't say I was much different when I first signed up.' Natsu mussed as he continued down the hallway. After moving from corridor to corridor he was met with several men dressed in heavy anti-magic armor.

"Severus number." The one who stepped forward asked as he looked down at Natsu. Natsu sighed as he rolled up his sleeve to reveal a black rune. The armored man rose his hand and a pale purple light caused the rune to turn black.

"Emundationem flamma Dragneel. " Natsu said as he fixed his sleeve before the massive doors began to open to reveal a circular room. Several roles were filled with men in purple robes with three men standing on a platform in crimson robes. As Natsu entered the room the chatter grew quiet as all eyes turned to him. As he reached the center he knelt before the three as the one in the center moved forward and began to speak.

"Natsu Dragneel. While your success in the field cannot be over looked, we cannot forgive this constant collateral damage and allow it to go unpunished. Not only has the Balam alliance raised your bounty, the council has raised you to a AA-class threat. We have even received word that the Arclights are hunting you. You are one of the best the Seven Ravens have ever seen and we cannot allow you to be captured or killed. By the order of the Black Talon, your S-class rank has be revoked and with it you lose your command over the sub divisions under your command until And will report to a higher ranking brother in the order. Is that clear?" The man finished as Natsu looked up at the man's cold gray eyes. Even after the four year war in Ekshare, The mass murder he committed, even the death camps he guarded, nothing could unnerve him as much as this man's stare.

"Yes father Brutes, Your will is my command." Natsu said as he kept his gaze for a second more before he was dismissed. As Natsu left the room he was met with yet another set of gray eyes that Natsu knew anywhere.

'Being a killer is easy, it's being a assassin that takes years of experience my boy." "I don't know master, I don't think I'm meant to be a assassin." Natsu said as he looked down at his feet. "I know you will make a great assassin, it's all in your eyes. You will do what needs to be done, That much I know."

Quickly he crossed the short distance and met with his old teacher. "Master Balthasar, It is a honor to see you again-" Natsu was stopped as he felt his old mentor's hand on his shoulder.

"Ease yourself young one, look at you, I hardly recolonize you." He said as he and Natsu walked down the marble tiled hallway.

"What brings you to the capital?" Natsu asked.

"You have been reassigned to my subdivision while you are on probation. You belongings have already been sent to the train." Balthasar continued walking as Natsu stopped as he starred at the ground.

"I hate you! You promised you'd be there for us! For me! I trusted you, why Natsu? WHY?!"

Natsu was brought out of his memories when Balthasar put his hand on his head. "They were too young to understand you actions. If they could see you now, they would be proud. And in a way, I'm glad you did what you did. The life of a assassin in one that only ends sadness,but as I have always said, the end doesn't matter, only the journey towards it.

"So where are they now?" Natsu asked as they walked down the street.

"Kama works for the kingdom, Cosmos and Kamika went to a legal guild." Natsu found a small smile at that.

'Good, in a legal guild they can have a happy life. Not this bloodstained hell I've become apart of.' As Natsu and Balthasar boarded the train they found their cabin. Balthasar sat on the opposite side of Natsu as he glanced down at Natsu's shadow. "My partner, he doesn't like strangers." Natsu chuckled as a dagger flew out from the shadow and stuck into the wall beside him. "He and I are the last of the Seven spades. The rest perished in Ekshare." Natsu said as he watched his feet.

'It would be best if you forget those days. It was partially my fault, I should have showed you that our targets were not all evil. Maybe if I did, you would have been spared all those years ago.'

"My sex appeal was only worth one thousand jewel? Unbelievable!" A blond yelled as she stomped down the street. "The salamander is in town! what are we waiting for!" The blond stopped in her tracks.

'The Salamander? The one who won the war for Ekshare single-handedly against the rebels? The terrorist that Burned Bosco's capital to the ground? That Salamander?' Quickly following the girls she came across a large group. Fighting her way to the inner circle she stopped dead in her tracks. The blond felt the air leave her lungs, Could this be love? The man before her was perfect. But he was a wanted criminal! it would never work, But she could try! How could she get this man's attention? Oh maybe if she-

"NATSU!"

Lucy's fantasy world fell to peaces as vines shot up from the ground and snared the notorious Salamander, one of the council's most wanted rouge mages. A flash of dark hair appeared and a woman no older the Lucy herself was in front of the Salamander. She was a tall and thin woman who had a light complexion. Her long black hair was tied back into two distinct sections; the first was two thin strands that were plaited and looped around to form hoops that sat on either side of her neck, while the rest was tied back with bows into two pigtails that flowed in thick locks around her body, where they stopped just above the ground where the ends curled. Her long bangs feel over her face and into her eyes, save for a single strand that curled upwards. The woman was wearing a simple black dress that wrapped around her body like a robe. The front was left open, allowing her legs to be seen while the back was much longer and appeared to be tailored to fall into two points. The edge of the cloth was patterned with squares and the entire outfit was held together by a large red ribbon just below her breasts and into a huge bow that rested on her back. The snared mage lit the vines on fire to free himself before he looked at the woman before him. And sensing another mage close by. 'Damn it! I can't risk being caught yet.' The salamander quickly launched into the air before hovering with his fire magic. "Tch, Until later my darlings." Salamander kissed his hand before flying off. Soon the crowd began to dwindle as only Lucy, her Savior, and a girl with pink hair was all that remained. Speaking of the pink haired girl, Lucy quickly looked her over. She had long and rather messy pink hair, and dark gray eyes. She had a ample bust and a curvaceous figure. She wore a big puffy cap on her head that was designed with a dark strip at the front with six light dots presenting a "V" pattern and a matching brim that covers her eyes. On the left side of her head, she had a rose in her hair. She wore a long coat with petal-like edges on the tails. Her coat was also adorned with dots running across the edges and is tied with a ribbon-like belt. Her chest was barely seen revealing much of her cleavage where a dark top can be seen and underneath is ruffled mini-skirt. She also seemed to be wearing arm sleeves and long boots that reaches to her calves, also adorned with dots and petal-like edges. With a flower bracelet on her right wrist. The black haired girl screamed and stomped her foot on the pavement. The pink haired girl tried to comfort her friend.

"Umm excuse me, my name is Lucy. You saved me from that creep, could I buy you lunch?" The blond asked. The pink haired girl got wide eyed before she looked down at her friend. "You hear that, It's not all bad! We got a sucker-Kind warmhearted stranger to buy us food!" She said as she tried to cheer up her friend.

"Umfg kon fugh thle?" Cosmos asked as she tried to swallow her food. After agreeing to the blond's invitation the trio introduced themselves. Turned out Cosmos was quite the eater. Her companion, Kamika, was more normal as she silently sipped from her cup. After fully swallowing she repeated her question. "You want to join fairy tail?" She asked Lucy.

"Yeah but I'm not sure I would be able to get in, I'm not the strongest wizard on the street. Heh." Lucy sadly chuckled.

"Well then, looks like your in luck! We can get you in!" Cosmos said as she lifted the side of her shirt to revile a fairy tail symbol on her side!

"You both are from fairy tail- wait really? You'd do that for me?!" Lucy asked as Cosmos smiled at her.

"Oh course we would. Were always looking for members." Cosmos smiled as she looked over to her comrade. "See Kamika? This trip wasn't a complete waste of time."

"Were looking for a friend? You looked really sad when it wasn't him. I can't remember the name you said, I think-" Lucy was cut off as the sound of glass breaking. She looked over to see Kamika trembling In anger.

"That monster is no friend of ours!"

'I promise, I'll protect all of us! No matter what!'

AU: So this is the new crack pairing story. I know I said I would do ether Juvia or Minerva but I noticed there was almost(Everyone I found was a super harem story with like fourteen girls) no Cosmos or Kamika. So I had to change that of course! So with this story I'm having trouble deciding whether or not to pair Natsu with Cosmos or Kamika (Or both if that's what you want)

So as always, have a good one!
