Dragon's Feelings

.

Natsu and Igneel were busily training, attacking each other one after another with a barrage of moves. Igneel would often pause during the fight whenever Natsu did something wrong and correct him on it until he fixed his mistake before continuing. His son was a fast learner though and didn't mess up many times, he was truly a dragon at heart.

A few Fire Dragon Slayer moves later, Natsu stood where he was, across from Igneel, breathing heavily. Training nonstop for two hours did that to the boy, but he still at energy to go on. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm then took off his shirt. The material stuck to his skin as he pulled it off; he tossed it on the floor beside him enjoying the cool breeze that hit his chest.

Natsu sighed out and peeked over at his teacher, she was sitting alone in the plains writing in a notebook. While her family was training Lucy took this time to prepare Natsu's next lesson, not wanting to waste her time on just sitting there and watching them. She did have her first-aid bag next to her though, ready for whenever Igneel would call her. She wasn't needed yet so at the moment she was busy writing down words.

Now that Natsu knew the alphabet, she was going to teach him how to read before going back to mathematics. Lucy's goal was for Natsu to be just as smart as she was, but would probably settle at half as smart... maybe ever a quarter. She figured if he knew how to read, write, count and eat probably, plus manners, that he'd be able to survive in the human towns.

"What's wrong my son? You're daydreaming." Igneel said putting his guard down.

"Why does Lucy never do anything?" Natsu asked turning towards his Father.

Igneel looked questionably at his son, "what do you mean? She's your teacher, she teaches you, and your... nurse. She patches you up too." He told him.

"I know that, but I mean train like us. Can she not learn dragon slayer magic too?" Natsu asked.

"You were chosen by me to learn my magic son, not her, so no. She can't learn our magic, but that doesn't mean she can't have a magic of her own. Another reason I picked that young one over there is because of her abilities as a mage, it's not much but I knew she was training before she came to live with us." Igneel told him.

"Training in what? What kind of magic was it? Was it a powerful one?! Does that mean Lucy can fight against me?!" Natsu asked cheerfully.

"Why don't you go ask her?"

Natsu didn't need to be told twice.

"Hey! Lucy!" He yelled running over to her.

Lucy looked up from her work and closed her notebook. She placed it on the grass beside her and stood up, wiping her butt free of dirt.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" She asked.

"Nope, I was wondering what kind of magic you know?!" Natsu asked.

"Magic? Oh... well," Lucy frowned a little and looked away from him.

Seeing this, Natsu frowned as well and wondered what was the matter with the girl.
