The best gift in life is a second chance

Chapter 10:my short reunion with onii chan and my new baby onii chan on the way

It was a week after the accident and Natsumi was walking through the woods.

She had smelled it again.

The same smell she smelled almost every day.

At first she thought it came from her parents, but when she had smelled it when they were away it couldn't be them.

So she waited for the perfect opportunity to follow it. It came from deep in the woods.

It smelled familiar, yet it didn't. Like she had forgotten everything that had to do with this person or thing.

And she knew it was nice, she had smelled it before she fell through the ice. And since Lisanna said she found Natsumi alone this had to be the person or thing that saved her.

After some more walking the smell grew stronger. And when she came into a clearing she saw a man standing there, he had old fashioned clothing and black hair. He was sitting on the grass and staring at the water in front of him. He hadn't noticed Natsumi yet.

Natsumi recognized him from Tenrou Island. He was the weird guy who had ruined her scarf!

The thought of it made her angry and she walked towards the man, and before he could even look up she had smacked him on his head.

And she remembered everything by doing that one thing.

"Oniisan! Oniisan!" A little pink haired boy dressed in robes run towards the boy he was looking for. His big brother Zeref Dragneel.

Zeref looked at his little brother. Just by seeing Natsu he had gotten a smile on his face.

"Oniisan! Look! I found a dragon egg!" Natsu held out his newly found treasure. Zeref chuckled a bit. "Natsu, that's just a stone. It's not even big enough for a dragon."

Natsu's smile didn't falter. He had just putted the 'egg' down and looked sweetly at his big brother. "Zeref-chan~, could you please bow down just a tiny bit?"

Zeref was a bit surprised by the sudden question, but he bowed a bit so he and Natsu were at the same height.

Natsumi smacked him on the head. And his face was turned from sweet to grumpy. "Baka! You could at least play along!"

Natsumi was frozen while she looked at the surprised face of Zeref who held his hands at the spot she had hit him.

She remembered how he always was there for her. Being a true older brother. How he was crying when she was... dying... dying at just a few years old. And how he had managed to wake her again. But as an Ethers with no memory's. She had fought Igneel, but Igneel didn't manage to beat her, but she hadn't won either.
She remembered how Zeref let Igneel raise Natsumi. How Zeref had chosen for her to become stronger to take him out. But how he also wanted her to have at least a sort of childhood, even if it was with a dragon, so he had erased her memories.

Zeref just sat there, he had no idea what to do. She had found him! If he would run she would be able to stop him so he couldn't do that.

Natsumi looked at him. Her small fist relaxed and fell next to her body as she looked at Zeref. Tears appeared in her eyes.

What did he do?! Was she scared of him? Did he look angry? Why was she crying?

He hadn't expected for her to hug his legs close to herself. He especially hadn't expected what she would say next while still sobbing.

"Oniisan!"

Zeref didn't move. He felt her grip tighten around his legs and how the fabric of his clothes became wet with her tears.

He started to get teary eyed himself.

She remembered him.

Not just that, but she wasn't angry or anything. She was crying of joy of finding him again, hugging her Oniisan again.

After a while she slowly let go of him and dried her tears on her sleeve. She looked at him and gave him the smile that wasn't directed at him for 400 years. How he had missed it.

"Baka... You could at least play along..."

Natsumi is 7 years old:

They had moved in a bigger home. It was a pretty big house, Natsumi's parents had become even more popular with their business. Their new house was huge! It had 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room. That was all on the second floor. On the first floor was a shop were her mother sold dresses along with her father's office and her mother's sewing room.

But the real reason for moving here wasn't because they could afford it, or because her mother could open a shop.

It was because of something else,

Panic.

That was the first thing that came to their mind. Well not for Natsumi or her mother, mostly her father and the rest of the WHOLE guild.

They were just eating their lunch when Jill had gotten an uncomfortable feeling.

Her water had just broken.

Mira had immediately helped Jill to get to the infirmary, while Erza took Elfman aside for a little talk because when Jill said her water broke, he had told her to 'just buy a new one.'

While Richard was panicking and running around. Natsumi was told to stay with Gray and Juvia, who finally got together. Seriously it took ages and around 74 little-romance-tricks-made-by-Natsumi.

Natsumi was just ignoring the panic all around her and just talked with Juvia. "Natsumi, what do you think? A boy or a girl?"

Natsumi thought for a second. "I don't know." She just shrugged. She really didn't care, as long as she had a nice little sibling she could teach all the cool stuff about Fairy Tail. Maybe it would be a wizard!

Oniisan had told her how to be a good big sibling as soon as she said her mother was expecting a baby. He told her every single trick in the book and he told her abbot fun games to play with her little sibling. But the thing he told her most was to protect it no. matter. What.

And now it was time. Natsumi had gotten bored and managed to let Gajeel build her a slide again.

And then Mira came to tell her to come with her to the infirmary to meet the newest addition of the family.
