Dragon Slayer: A Shinobi's Legacy

Chapter 5: Part 1

After the guild was already closed, Natsu, Lucy and Happy were walking back home. However, Lucy didn't have a place to stay and asked, "Hey, Natsu. Mind if I stay in your place?"

"Sure, why not." Natsu replied. "Just follow me." With that, Lucy followed Natsu to the place he lives.

Upon walking through a forest, they arrived at Natsu's house. It has a normal house, with a few trees growing beside and one top of the house. It is also big, having the first floor and second floor.

"I'm home." Natsu said, as he, Happy and Lucy entered Natsu's house.

"Welcome back." A voice called back, revealing to be Lisanna herself. Who's currently finishing cooking for dinner. Helping her was her father, Suigetsu. "I see you brought Lucy here." As she noticed Lucy entering the house.

"Yeah, she needed a place to stay. So I decided to let her sleep in our house for a while." Natsu explained.

"That's great, honey." Lisanna said, "It's been a long time since we had any guests." as she had prepared food for all four of them, including an extra plate for Lucy, all five enjoyed their dinner.

After finishing and cleaning the dishes, all five are ready to sleep. While Suigetsu and Happy went to their separate rooms.

Lucy however, unsure where she could sleep.

"Hey, Natsu, do you have any extra room?" Lucy asked.

"Well, we have an extra room near my and Lisanna's room." Natsu pointed his finger to the other room.

When Lucy opened the door, the room was clean and the clothes remained untouched. "Whoa, it's clean." Lucy commented. "Who's room is this?"

Natsu stopped there for a moment, when Lucy asked that question. He looks down, his hair covering his eyes making a blank expression.

"I'm sorry... I should probably go to bed first." Natsu then proceeds to go to his and Lisanna's room, leaving Lucy's question unanswered.

Lucy was confused about what just happened just now. As she felt that Natsu didn't like the question she recently asked.

"Sorry about that, just now." Lucy turned to see Lisanna standing between the rooms Lucy's using. "He sometimes avoids asking questions about this room." Lisanna explained.

"Oh, Lisanna. Didn't see you there." Lucy said. "By the way, you said that Natsu avoids questions about this room, right?"

Lisanna nodded saying yes.

"Why though?" Lucy asked.

Lisanna sighs and responds, "He never mentioned sooner, but Natsu used to be a celestial mage."

"Natsu is a celestial mage?!" Lucy shouts in disbelief.

"Yeah, he had a celestial spirit he made a contract with, she was the only companion other than me that Natsu felt a strong bond with and fell in love with. He loved her as much as she loved him." Lisanna said. As she looked down seeing her hands on her round belly.

"What happened to her?" Lucy asked curiously about what happened to his celestial spirit.

Lisanna sighs and looks down with a sad expression, "When we were young, we were ambushed by thieves. Natsu and I managed to beat three of them, but the fourth was bigger and stronger than him. He beat us severely and took his celestial key away from him. When we woke up, he lost his celestial key. This enrages Natsu, the rage I never saw or felt more fear."

Hearing this caused Lucy to feel sad and shook with fear. Lisanna then continues, "When Natsu found the fourth thief. Natsu, in a fit of rage, unleashed his fury and beat the living hell out of the man. When he interrogated the man, he told him he sold his celestial key for 5 million jewels. This enrages Natsu even further, something woke inside of Natsu and without thinking, Natsu killed the man with no remorse. Ripping his throat out, tearing him to pieces until the man is unrecognizable and was left for dead."
