The Many Loves of Salamander

Soul of the Dragon (Lisanna Strauss)

She held a small smile on her face, slightly sad about what was happening to her. Being captured by an Exceed as soon as she arrived back from Edolas was a bit embarrassing. But she could hardly say anything about it, the Exceed in question was a great warrior back in Edolas and Extalia. She stumbled a bit, feeling just how the rope around her wrists pulled her forward. They have been walking for quite a bit without any words spoken, she had given up in trying to convince the Exceed that she was a member of Fairy Tail.

She did hear the slight mutters from Pantherlily, the Exceed that had captured her, and the members of her guild that had fought in Edolas, a conversation that she was trying her best to ignore. She just wanted to see him again, to be near him like all those years ago. She couldn't face him when she saw him back in Edolas, her feelings threatening to burst out of her chest. She knew that the Edolas version of Natsu was attracted to the Edolas version of Lucy, it was plain to see and that hurt a lot. But she could finally show him her feelings, show them to the one she grew up with.

"On a different subject, I took this suspicious person into custody" She had to resist a groan from escaping her lips. She had just started to relax and rest a bit, she didn't need to deal with this right now. She didn't know if she would be able to hold it in if she saw him right now. Her heart was already throbbing hard against her chest, her mind recognizing that she was going to see him soon. Her eyes were being covered by her short hair, with her tears disguised in the rain. It was then, even when she did not want to, that she was pulled harshly. "Move"

"Hey..." She muttered, trying to walk without falling on the ground again. The high heels that she currently had were definitely not helping her, but she liked the pair. It had been a gift from the Edolas version of her sister, Mirajane. So, she had grown strongly attached to them. "I wouldn't-" She felt her hands going forward, probably the Exceed pulling her once more. She tried walking a bit faster, trying to keep up with the machinations of the black furred Exceed that had captured her. "I wouldn't call myself suspicious..." She finally had been able to finish her earlier comment, but it had been then that she squealed slightly, a sudden pull from the rope on her wrists making her fall down to the muddied ground with an almost inaudible splash. She looked up to the Exceed, a slight frown over her face as she had unconsciously ignored the other members of Fairy Tail. "Especially since I'm a member of Fairy Tail too!"

"Lisanna...?" She opened her eyes wide, her tears beginning to slip out once more. She moved her face slowly, unable to contain the feelings that were threatening to escape right out of her chest. She watched just how Natsu Dragneel, and the rest of the guild members that knew her, were looking at her with surprise in their eyes. She ignored everything around her, her eyes only focused on the salmon haired male that her eyes couldn't help but admire. She even tuned out the shocked words from those that knew her.

"Natsu!" She got overly emotional, jumping straight at Natsu. She even pulled the Exceed that had captured her along with her, her ears detecting an annoying male scream. She collided with him, her head on his chest, which didn't actually last long since the two of them fell to the ground with a loud thud. "I... I got to see..." She was sobbing, her tears falling straight at Natsu's face. She was smiling at him, giving him a smile that she had not been able to show him back in Edolas. She was not going to hold back any longer, she was finally in his arms again. Something that had been denied to her thanks to the Anima portal that transported her to Edolas. But here he was, his eyes still looking at her with a mixture of surprise and what she could notice to be regret. "The real Natsu again... My Natsu..."

She didn't hesitate, didn't care that the two of them were currently on the ground and all muddied from the mixture of rain and dirt. She captured his lips in a loving embrace, her ears picking up the slight gasps from a few of the people that were there. Her heart soared with happiness, finally being able to show him just how much she cared for him. To show him that her feelings for him were everlasting. Her lips slowly removed from his own, a smile on her face as she could see the burning blush that covered Natsu's whole face.

"I'm back... My dear husband..." She muttered, memories of where she was younger returning with force. She still remembers just how she helped take care of the egg where Happy, the Exceed that she considered her son, alongside Natsu. Just how she joked about being Natsu's wife and enjoying his timid reaction to her words. But now, it has a whole new meaning to those memories of old. She will become Lisanna Dragneel, the real wife of one Natsu Dragneel, and she will do whatever it takes to be with him for the rest of her life.

"Ehhh!" She could only chuckle a bit, hearing the shocked reactions of all the people that were currently watching her embrace Natsu. She could hardly care if someone saw her right now, showing Natsu her love was all she cared about. She had dearly missed him, her heart unable to hold back the repressed feelings she had for him. She would love him forever and ever, until her last breath. She reclined her forehead against his, still seeing the blushing mess that was Natsu right now. She giggled softly, enjoying the warmth that she could feel. She would make sure that Natsu would end with her, even if she had to fight for him.
