Remember Me, Please

Chapter Six: Fragment Memories

(AN: It's a NaLu picture, I know shoot me... But imagine that isn't Lucy for the sake of the story, okay? I rather not hear about it being here....)

(Name) sighed a little as she sat down on the park bench, sighing softly as Yume jumped up onto her lap. She stroked her fur lightly with a small smile, hearing her purr happily at the soft touch, "You really do like that... Don't you Yume?"

She then glanced up at the sky, "I wonder how Hotaru knew my name...."

Yume yawned and pawed her face some, standing up and jumped down. She meowed at (Name) for her to follow, pacing back and forth in front of her; she mewled loudly to get her attention. (Name) looked down at Yume as she stared at her, "Huh? What's up Yume?"

She meowed and then started walking ahead, (Name) jumped up and followed her; Yume glanced behind occasionally to make sure she was following. Yume pranced along atop of a wall and glanced down at her.

Good! She's following me to Happy-nii's house! I'm glad I just remembered...

Yume meowed at (Name) before seeing her suddenly stop, glancing down at her to see her staring up at a book store.

The Little Nook? What does this have to do with anything?

(Name) stared at the building with glossy eyes, "I... I remember this place... It's where I..."

Yume jumped down to be beside (Name) as she walked up to the wall and touched it, seeing her trace her fingers along the walls like it was brail as she felt a twinge of pain in her chest, "I remember this..."

She clutched her head suddenly as she bit back a cry of pain. There was this building pressure inside her that began to really hurt, she could hear Natsu's voice in her head laughing with that smile of his.

"(Name), why are we here?" Natsu asked as he glanced down at her, she just looked back up at him and flicked him in the forehead, "Ow!"

(Name) gave a grin as she walked ahead, glancing back at him with a soft laugh, "Oh shush Salamander, Levy told me that this is a good place to read and I'm dragging you along to keep you out of trouble."

Natsu didn't say anything as he followed her inside, occasionally glancing at her backside with a low purring sound; he wouldn't admit it to her, yet, but she had the most beautiful-

(Name) forced herself away from the building as she instinctively reached for her neck, feeling like someone was choking her around her neck. It hurt, those voices were loud, and she felt like she was slipping away to a very dark place. Yume looked at her and brushed up against her leg, meowing very loud as if to say something. She grunted a little and started walking ahead, "L-L-Lets go..."

[Elsewhere with the Crew]

Natsu dusted his hands off as the monster laid beaten and bloody, a surge of pride as well as the feeling of conquering something made him giddy with glee, "Hah! You called that a fight?! Even a shrimp can put up a better fight than you!"

Natsu jumped down with a small shiver that ran up his spine, a pleased purring sound could barely be heard as he put his hands on his waist. Heat flashed through him that set his cheeks in a red tint, senses coming alive with a low burning sensation throughout him. He felt pent up, full of energy and ready to cla-

He frowned just a bit, "Shit, I don't think I will make it back to (Name)-"

His mind flashed to (Name) and a intense heat grew inside him at the mention of her name, little glimpses of the first time he had her all to himself made him feel a little flustered. Lucy tapped his shoulder, making the man jump, "Natsu, c'mon... We're going to get the reward and head back home... Natsu?"

"I-I'll catch up with you Lucy! I just remembered something I gotta do...." Natsu lied a little as he started walking backwards away from her, "You go on ahead!"

Natsu bolted away as he went to relieve his bladder, that unwanted pressure on him was beginning to make things a little complicated.

[Back to (Name) and Yume]

"So... This is Natsu's house?" (Name) asked as she walked over the hill, admiring the small place as Yume meowed at her. This place felt so familiar to her, "It's nice..."

(Name) and Yume walked down the hill towards the house until a spike of pain made (Name) stop walking; she collapsed onto her knee and started coughing badly, body wracked in a little pain as if she is needing something to ease the pain away. (Name) clutched her chest even more as she felt like she was going to be ripped open and restitched at the same time, all without any anesthetics.

Ever since she got away from that place, recovery still slow and the scars run very deep, she has been having this craving and itch inside her body. There was a time where she blacked out one moment and woke up with stitches, albeit crudely done, across her abdomen. (Name) forced herself up from the ground once more, as the sharp pain died down to a bearable level, and slowly started to make her way to the house.

But what made her stop was something she wasn't expecting entirely; there was a little bit of darkening up on the hill that lead to the forest, she tentatively walked over and touched it.

A chill ran down her body; she could feel hands touch her body, but it was warmer and like it was caressing her. She could feel heat pressed up against her lips softly at first then with a little more eagerness. The feeling felt right, so natural and so full of passion it's as if the earth in this particular spot remembers. It's lush and full of grass, the dots of flowers surrounding the rim was as if fertility of the earth boomed.

You're so beautiful... You know that?

"That voice... I-It's Natsu's voice.." (Name) thought as she pulled away, bringing a hand to her chest as she took a few steps back. She felt a bit of tears in her eyes, "This must be... It was here, I guess they did more than just kiss..."

(Name) forced herself to look away and moved quickly down the hill, tears threatening to fall down her face the longer she stayed in that spot. Yume watched from the window porch with saddened eyes, seeing the bit of glow (Name) had disappear as if the flame was snuffed out.

Maybe Mama will remember if she goes inside... Papa did tell me a lot about her!
