Hey, Readers!!!!! Big shocker on the last chapter, huh? I had to add Igneel!!!!! I saw some of your comments from the last chapter, and I was very pleased with your reaction. :) Anyhoo, here Chapter 5, ENJOY!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Natsu P.O.V
Did I hear correctly? Did he say he knew where Igneel was? Worry rose in my body. "Is....is he serious?" Gray asked.
Maybe he's lying, I thought, trying not to get my hopes up.
"Oh, so you don't believe me, Natsu?" The voice asked.
"Why the hell would I believe you!" I yelled.
"But wouldn't it be worth the risk? To finally see your foster father after so many years?"
I just stood there, my mind going into a complete blank. "Natsu, come here." I suddenly heard Lucy said. I walked up to the door and pressed my ear against the door, so that I could hear better. "I'm here." I told her.
"I want you to find Igneel." Lucy said.
"WHat!" I exclaimed. "Why would you want me to do that! This guy might be lying!"
"But you might get to see your father! I don't want you to miss on such a big opprotunity because of me!" I could hear Lucy's voice cry a little, as if she didn't really want me to leave.
I had two giant weights over my shoulders. One was the opprotunity of finding Igneel, and the other was of go back to Lucy. I screamed in frustration, not sure which decision I should make. I screamed in frustration. "My, my Natsu. Don't need to throw a hissy fit." The voice mocked.
"SHUT UP!" I screamed.
"My, isn't someone angry?" The voice snickered.
"Natsu! Don't do this for me! Do this for yourself!" Lucy shouted.
That's when it hit me. Lucy was right.
This was my decision.
Not Lucy's, not the voice's.
Mine. And I knew what I needed to do.
"Alright. I've made my decision."
Lucy P.O.V.
The only words I heard were "I've made my decision." Anxious, I pressed my ear against the door, trying to hear his decision. But for unknown reason, I couldn't hear his answer. "Gray, can you hear him.
Gray, who's ear was also pressed against the door, shook his head. "I don't know why he's being so quiet! This irratates me!"
Then, the doors flew open autimatically, sending Gray and me flying. I land on my feet and look up. There was Natsu, standing by the door, grinning widley. Shock spiraled through my emotions. "You....you chose me?" I asked in complete confusion.
Natsu nodded.
"Why? Why would you choose me over your own father?" I tried to fight the tears, which was something I was getting good at. Natsu walked up to me and hugged you gently. " 'Cause I don't want to be separated from you."
I felt my heart racing, and to my pleasure, so was Natsu's. I wrap my arms around him and hug him as well. "I love you." I whispered.
"I love you too."
