Erasing Erza Scarlet

A/N: I didn't have time to edit this! Or a lot of the chapters before this I guess ;-; I'm sorry for any misspellings and any grammatical errors! Feel free to point them out!

Erza's P.O.V.

"IT'S HER!" A voice shouted through the crowd. Looking in it's direction, I watched as people were shoved out of the way like cattle, "IT'S REALLY HER!"

I kept my eyes on whoever was making their way to me. A flare of pink took only moments to meet me, "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" Natsu shouted aggressively, taking a hold of my shirt with one hand to hold me in place.

"N-Natsu?" I asked, eyeing him with a peculiar glance. The boy I trusted most of all was standing in front of me once again. But I couldn't help feeling... That I was looking for someone else.

"HEY!" A deeper voice rang through my thoughts, before Natsu was roughly pushed away from me, "Don't treat her like that without asking what happened first,"

A blue-haired figure stood facing away from me as he scolded Natsu.

Once he was done, he turned around to look me over.

"Erza," Was all the man said, giving me a stern look.

He had deep brown eyes that seemed to become a muddy shade of green in the sunlight. One eye was framed with a signature red marking. He was tall and clearly well-built, there was no way I could win in a brawl with him one on one. He had a sharp jawline and the expression to match.

He looked around at the crowd which was peering suspiciously at the scene. With a reluctant huff, "Let's talk somewhere private," He spoke as he grabbed my wrist and dragged me through the packed street. 

Natsu took a step into the man's way.

"What?" The man replied.

"She stepped out on us for three days straight without any kind of explanation," Natsu told him, "Erza wouldn't do that. She's a member of Fairy Tail, and we don't leave each other behind. Ever."

"You don't think I know that?" He responded, "I already understand that... Something must've happened."

"Good," Natsu kept his eyes fixed on the man's for while, before walking alongside him as we went through the crowd.

What Natsu said was nothing short of what I expected him to. Natsu's always protected me with his life, even when I asked him not to. I was always confronting Gray and Natsu when we were kids- they were such trouble-makers. But it's clear to see he's grown into a reliable ally. 

No, wait. Not an ally. A friend.

One of my best friends.

"Erza, do you remember anything?" The pink haired boy asked me, dragging me from my racing mind.

"Huh?" I responded, not thinking clearly.

He laughed for a second, "Come'on, I didn't mean to catch you off guard. We're almost at the hotel, anyways,"

"Natsu," I felt the name roll off my tongue with the sudden tang of missing-emotion.

"Mm?" The pink haired boy shot his glance back over to me in a subtle response.

I took another moment to think about what I was going to ask.

"Who goes by that name?" 

The blue haired man dragging me had stopped walking so suddenly that I found myself stumbling into his back.

The pink haired boy had stopped as well, and was staring at me with a concerned look.

"Stop playin' around, Erza. You've been missing for three days, we don't have time for jokes," He made the same face that the blue haired man had. One that was stern and upset with me.
