Natsu. Why does that name sound so familiar to me? Why can't I seem to get him out of my head? Natsu. Such a lovely name, means summer. Warm weather, the sun shinning bright, it makes you feel happy inside. Natsu. Why did I cry when we fought? How come my heart beat sped up when we got closer? I didn't and never felt like this with Hifumi. Even after he asked me to become his wife. Even during our wedding day. My heart never beat the way it did when I was with you. You spoke to me as if you knew me. The sound of your voice wasn't one of a mad man. No not at all. The sound of your voice, it was real. It was genuine. I heard your heart, I heard your soul, you were in pain just like how I am. But why can't I remember anything about you? Why does it feel like part of my life has been taken away from me..?
Natsu, why can't I....
















Lee: You ladies mentioned Natsu? Did I hear that right?

Saeko and Shizuka looked at each other seeing the handsome demon unmasked himself. Shizuka is going to answer him but Saeko stopped her. Instead she spoke.

Saeko: We don't know who you are talking about?

Lee: Should I describe who I heard you two talking about? He's a male, spiky pink hair, onyx color eyes. They change depending on his mood. He's like a mood ring or something. He has a scaly scarf, around 6 feet tall probably even shorter.

He says putting his hand underneath his chin.

Lee: Oh! The most important detail. He's a dragon.

Saeko and Shizuka's eyes widen hearing how precisely Lee described Natsu.

Saeko: Again we don't know who you're talking about I apologize.

Lee sighs.

Lee: You guys can't hide your expressions very good you know.

Shizuka leans in closer to Saeko and whispers.

Shizuka: Should we tell him?

Saeko: No. What if he's an enemy trying to hurt him.

They look towards Lee, and see he's kicking a can around like a soccer player.

Saeko: How can we be for sure you can be trusted?

Lee: Ara. Well what if I told you Master...I mean Natsu, has lived for over 400 years. Way back when Japan was nothing but plain fields, forest all around and none of these tall buildings existed. We've lived through the golden era of Japan, during feudal lords, emperors and empress, kings and queens, world wars, samurai's and shinobi we've lived and experienced it all.

Shizuka: How...how old are you?

Lee: My dear. We demons have a very very very long life span. Dragons have an even longer life span. They age slower, heal quick, grow stronger, attain wisdom from years and years of living.

Saeko: I...

Lee: There's no need to lie to me young lady. My ears don't lie to me. You guys have seen and met Master.

Shizuka: Master?

Lee: Oh right I forgot to mention. He's my master. The most powerful demon born from a belly of a dragon, and raised to become a killing machine! My master is unique! He's extravagant, he is smart, cunning, powerful, merciful, he doesn't take pitty on any one! He...Is...All...Mighty...

He says extending his hands out preaching like a crazy person when they speak about the end of the world. That's how Lee Zaha spoke about Natsu, about his Master.

Lee: Ahem. My apologies for that. So you lovely young ladies have no idea where he is?

Saeko: N...No...
