Back at the Guild...

"Natsu's gotta wake up sometime. He has almost all of his flames back..." Lucy tried to stop her tears. She truly did have feelings for Natsu, but at this point, she was on the verge of breaking in half. Erza shed no tears, as did Gray. The heartbroken mage looked at the unconscious dragon slayer. He looked almost... dead.

"Don't worry Lucy. Hisui is gonna save Natsu. If I know him, he wouldn't give up so easily. And neither will Hisui. She's been with us for five years. All we can do is have faith in her." Gray said, looking at the pale dragon slayer. Nine little flames danced around Natsu, entering his mouth at once. His color returned to his face, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"H-Hi guys..." He smiled weakly. Lucy let her tears flow as she tackled Natsu in a hug.

"Natsu! I'm so glad you're okay!!" She sobbed into his shoulder. Natsu smiled and hugged her back, inhaling her scent.

"It's good to have you back Torch Head." Gray smirked.

"At least you're awake now. Hisui should be so happy." Erza sat next to Lucy. Natsu looked very confused.

"Where's Happy?" He asked.

"With Keninchi and Hisui. He should be back soon enough." Lucy answered. Natsu still looked confused.

"I know who Keninchi is but... Who's Hisui?"

With the others...

"You're lying..." My face went pale.

"Hisui... I'm not lying." Keninchi kissed my forehead. I didn't react.

"But I don't feel anything!!"

"That's because you're avoiding the feeling. Just relax. You'll feel it." Keninchi took my hand and placed it on my lower stomach. I felt myself slowly loose all tension, and I soon felt something like... like Keninchi.

"Keninchi. I feel it." I took my hand away. "This cant be happening..." I backed away, trying to process what just happened. Keninchi just smiled.

"I'm happy. And I'll let you go on your own if you want." He kissed my cheek and got ready for an answer.

"It's up to you at this point." I shrugged and continued on with my journey.

Guild again...

"Okay hothead. Don't play around with us. You know who Hisui is." Gray gave Natsu a look that said 'Are you on drugs or something???'

"Look asshole, I don't know who you talking about!!" Natsu growled back.

"Guys, the last flame... there were only nine when I counted! The last flame is Natsu's memory containing Hisui!!" Lucy exclaimed, making everyone except Natsu gasp. He only gave a confused look.

"Come on Hisui... Hurry up with that last flame..." Erza whispered.

"Who are you talking about?!?" Natsu exclaimed, looking at everyone.

Back again...

"Where is this bastard located?!?" I spat.

"Calm down Hisu. Just focus on getting that last flame." Keninchi looked around. "We are on a time limit you know."

"I don't sense a damn thing!!" I hollered back. A sudden breeze got my mind flowing. I saw a cave that looked really familiar. "What's that?" I followed my senses and walked inside the cave. My head throbbed and flashes were all I could see.

"Catch me if you can Natsu-nii!!" A little girl shouted. She looked a lot like... me?

"Just you wait Hisu!! I'm coming for you!!" What looked to be kid Natsu chased mini me around.
