(Night Raid Hideout)
Sheele was sitting in the living room, reading her usual book of dealing with airheads. Mine was relaxing in the hot springs, using the mineral waters to heal her broken arm. It was a slow process but the sniper was strong and would heal soon. The only other people currently in the hideout besides her and Mine was Najenda. Leone was still out on patrol and the rest were on a mission to find the Night Raid imposter.
"Hey" A voice said. Turning her head away from her book, Sheele saw it was Natsu. He was poking his head into the room. "Do you guys have a bathroom I can use really quick?" He asked.
Sheele blinked while staring at Natsu. She had not sensed his presence at all and didn't even hear him enter the hideout. However, he did save Mine from being crushed and he did not give off any evil intentions, so the purple haired woman saw no problem in letting them use their toilet. "Sure" Sheele replied with a kind smile. "Just go down the hallway and then make the first right." She explained.
"Ah, thanks!" Natsu replied with a fanged grin before walking away.
As he walked away Sheele returned to her book. A few minutes later Leone, still having her Teigu active, came rushing in. She quickly spotted Sheele sitting on the couch. "Oi, Sheele! Where's the boss? I got big news!" Leone exclaimed.
"Calm down Leone, I'm right here." Najenda said, entering the living room. She had a cigarette in her mouth and her jacket was gone, leaving her only in a black tank top. "What happened? Did you run into Esdeath?" She asked the blonde.
"Yeah but not just her! That Natsu guy was also there too!" Leone exclaimed.
Najenda's eyes widened. She had not expected that. "What was he doing there? Wait, are you saying he was with Esdeath?" The silver haired beauty asked, wondering what happened when those two met.
"Not exactly, he was actually walking past her while I watched from the roofs. But it was definitely him, the feeling he gave off was same one when he fought him in the forest." Leon explained, shivering slightly as she remembered the feeling of Natsu's presence. It was strong and dominating… And slightly arousing though the blonde did not say that out loud. "I think Esdeath also felt something because she tried to reach him. But when she did I saw her recoil, like she got burned. And before I could blink he vanished. I decided to high tail it out of there while Esdeath was looking the other way."
Najenda rubbed her chin before letting out a frustrated sigh. "This Natsu fellow is a very complicated person. None of his actions make any sense at all. He hates the Empire and yet does not do anything like joining the Revolutionary Army. Yet he saved Mine and Sheele despite having no reason to do so, especially when we attacked him not too long ago. He later disappeared only to return to the capital and was briefly confronted by Esdeath. And then there is that incident yesterday…"
"What incident?" Leone asked confused.
"A team of Imperial Assassins were spotted heading towards a village that had been trading with foreign mercenaries, most likely to kill them. However, according to witnesses, a young man with pink hair protected the villagers as they fled. He was seen manipulating flames and single-handily slaughtered almost the entire team, forcing the survivors to retreat. I have no doubt that it was Natsu." Najenda explained. "As I said he is a complicated enigma and I have no doubt that word of yesterday will reach the Revolutionary Army HQ." Najenda commented. "Anyway, you look pretty freaked out, though I don't blame you after seeing Esdeath for the first time, as well as Natsu at the same time. Why don't we get you a drink?" The Night Raid Leader suggested.
