Chinatsu: Both Ninja and Wizard

Ch. 14

Third POV

The mages and celestial spirit made them selves comfy. Wendy was on a love sack with Carla, Happy, and Lily by her side. Natsu sat besides her on the ground, Erza on the opposite side of him. Gajeel laid on his side, propping his head up with his hand. A pink blanket cushioning his head. Levy was next to him a blanket around herself, crisscrossed and hugging a pillow. Gray was sitting on the other side of the small group a bit away, his shirt off and a blanket near his feet. Juvia was inching closer to Gray, trying to be close as possible, a body pillow next to her. Just in case her and Gray would want to cuddle, her words not mine. Andromeda sits crisscrossed a huge pillow on her lap. Lucy sat in the middle of that huge pillow. 

Everyone snapped forward where the movie screen lit up. A forest was on the screen. "Natsu" Andromeda speaks up, Natsu turned to her "To let you know, I've been looking after her, and she had lived a relatively good life, there is nothing to worry about." Natsu smiles up at her. 

"Thanks! Andomesa!!" He thanks with a smile. 

"Um, Natsu? Her name is Andromeda, Not Andomesa.." Wendy tries to explain but lo and behold he ignores Wendy. 

"Let's start!" 

Regular-Chinatsu's POV   Bold- Fairy Tail and Andromeda POV

The screen panned across the forest for awhile before it reached a small clearing. It stayed on the small clearing before a blue vortex came out of no where and a smaller version of Natsu popped out of it. 

"Whoa! It's a smaller version of Natsu!!" Wendy said with excitement. She put her hands together,  a innocent grin on her face. Natsu smiled, happy that he saw his little sister. 

The smaller version of Natsu slammed face first the grass and let out a pained noise. She slowly gets up and sits on her knees. She rubs her arms. She looks around her surroundings, clueless. "Natchu!!" She shouted in her small surrounding. 

Everyone awed at her adorableness. 

A bush rustled near her and she herd it too well. Her head snapped to the sound and being the clueless three-almost four-year old, she though it was Natsu. She got up and smiled, looking towards the noise. "Nats-" She began, but stopped herself when she saw no one that looked no where near her brother. In fact, the person was older, had a beard and everything an old guy had. The man didn't notice the shell-shocked child who seemed mildly scared for her life. The man pulled out a cigarette and plops it in his mouth. He leaned against a tree and glances across the field before meeting the eyes of a pink haired child. He pauses before pushing himself off and took a step forward the child. 

The child's eyes widen and she takes off behind a tree, peeking out to see if the old man walked any closer. The man takes his unlit cigar from his mouth and puts it away in the pouch that's on his side. 

"That's the most weirdest fanny pack that I've seen" Natsu blurts out making Gray laugh out loud. Natsu turns to him angrily, "Hey! What's so funny??!" 

Gray continues to laugh trying to tone it down a bit. " That's a pouch! Not a fanny pack!" Gray toning his laughter down finally. 

Natsu turns away. "Psh! I knew that! I was just making sure everyone else knew that wasn't a fanny pack." Natsu says, whispering to himself by the end of the sentence.  

"Yeah keep telling yourself that"

He inches closer to the child and before the child can run away he stop. "Hey, kid," His kind voice was above a whisper, the child squinted her eyes, not believing if it was a trick the old man was playing on her. "What's your name??" He questions and crouches to have a better look at her. 

The child had tattered down clothes that was dirtied and probably hasn't been washed in at least a week. A scaled black and white scarf was around the child's neck and barely hit the ground. Was this the chakra that spiked a while ago? Is this the child I'm looking for? That thought was on Asuma's head before he shook it away. No, this child wouldn't even be able to bear that much chakra, at her age she wouldn't even survive for a day. 

"Ch-" The child starts, Asuma looked at her questionably, "Chinatchu Dragneel" Asuma smiles and sits on the ground in a crisscrossed position. "Chinatsu?" Asuma repeated and Chinatsu nods, "What a unique name, I've never herd it before" Chinatsu lights up. 

"Is Chinatsu a unique name? It's just putting a thousand in front of Natsu's name" Wendy questions. Natsu smiles. 

"Of course it is! I gave her that name!" He says with pride. "Wah! Really?" Wendy says with surprised.  Gajeel snickers but doesn't say anything. "Hey what's so funny??" Natsu questions. 

"Oh, nothing just that and idiot named his little sister after himself." 

"What'd you call me?!" 

"It is! My father, Igneel, gave it to me! He's a dragon! " Chinatsu explains. Asuma lets out a small chuckle to himself, The kid had a weird imagination or something. 

"Would you mind telling me where he is? I could take you too him." Asuma  questions. Chinatsu's eyes lowered and her eyes shifted away from him. "He left me and my brother one day and I don't know where my brother went.." Asuma's eyes sadden. Who wouldn't, she basically said that she was all alone. Asuma stays quiet for a moment. 

Do I take this girl to the Hokage? Maybe he'll know what to do with her? But I have to ease into it, she still cautious around me being anywhere near her. Asuma thinks out. 

"I'm sorry to here that. Do you want me to help you find them?" Asuma questions. 

"Please don't tell me she actually falls for it.." Lucy questions, scared for the child and also hoping she isn't like Natsu. Andromeda laughs at her statement. "Of course she does!"

Right when Andromeda said that Chinatsu smiles. 

"Yeah!!"

"WHAT?!" Everyone shouts.

Chinatsu bends down and picks up a big stick that was next to her. She runs to Asuma and stands in front of him. Asuma stands up and offers Chinatsu his hand. "We'll look around for a bit"Chinatsu nods in understanding. They walk around the forest for a while. After only a few minutes of walking around Chinatsu was tired of walking so most of the time Chinatsu was given a piggy back ride on Asuma's shoulders. 

The sun was close to setting and they both still haven't found anything, it's been quiet besides all the stories that Chinatsu tells about her father Igneel and her bigger brother Natsu. Natsu himself laughed and was close to crying at the memories. But of course he didn't show it, I mean, everyone was surrounding him. Asuma listened to every word she said even if it was over exaggerated. I mean, c'mon! There's no way her father was an actual dragon who taught her magic. That's just not realistic. Like he said before, she sure did have a huge imagination. 

"I'm sorry kid, but the sun is starting to set." Asuma says and puts the kid down. Chinatsu pouts and looks at the sun. "Bu- but, Natsu will be worried, I have to find him" Chinatsu says with determination. Asuma shakes his head. "It's getting dark, not only that there's bad ninjas around this place. " Asuma explains as simply as he can. He herd that another group was assigned to look for some rouge ninjas, but strangely enough he hasn't bumped into the assigned group or the rouge nins. Asuma stops when Chinatsu gasps. 

"NINJA'S!!!" 

"NINJA'S!!!"

Both Dragneels say in surprise and excitment. 

"Chinatsu is so lucky!! 

"AH! That's so cool! Me and Natsu always wanted to be part ninja! I wanna go meet one." Chinatsu says and jumps off Asuma's back. Asuma smiles. "Is that so?" He asked. He didn't get a response. His eyes widen in shock when he turned around. 

She wasn't standing behind

"The man lost Chinatsu!" Natsu shouts, stressing out, hands on his head. 

"It's more Chinatsu left." Gray sweatdrops.
