FINDING MY BROTHER

THE ENCOUNTER

THIRD POV
Silence was in between them for minutes. They could only stare at her hugging Natsu tight as if it's really its father.

"Umm.... Is that you Flame?" Natsu asks shaking as he touches her.

"Dada!" Flame blurts as she hugs him.

"Woah! My cute daughter's actually a demon?! Cuutteeeeeee" Natsu hugs her  tightly and not to mention, squeezing.

"Wa-wait... That phoenix is that demon? But it's been just days..." Gajeel asks pointing at her.

"Well I don't care.... she's mah daughter and you ain't stealing her!" Natsu sticks out his tongue totally teasing them.

"Stop that bastard!" Gajeel shouts and sighs afterwards.

"Blah blah blah...." Natsu rants back.

"What actually happened? I mean she was just a small phoenix a few days ago" Jellal asks confused.

"Well according to me... I think this demon reached its age. Cuz for us demons, each creature is unique. Some demons belong to  humanoids category where those in that category take the form of a human and demon" Larcade explains not knowing everyone was already listening intently to him.

"I see.... So this little demon goes to the humanoids category?" Jellal asks as Larcade nods.

"She can the form of a human and a demon. Though.... the horns of her head are a bit of a problem when she takes her human form...." Larcade says eyeing the little demon.

"Nah, that won't be a problem... Her papa will protect her!" Natsu grins as he hugs Flame again.

"So that explains it all.... But first let's find clothes for her... That scarf is probably not enough right?" Juvia says as Natsu nods.

"Ok! Let's go a town today!! Flame let's go!" Natsu announces as he carries Flame into his arms.

"Dada!" Flame smiles as he Natsu pets her head.

"Crap.... The alien was just a while ago..." Gajeel whispers.

"Yea... The alien's a problem..." Jellal whispers back.

"Looks like we'll need a Plan B" Brandish whispers joining the duo.

"I can hear you!" Natsu shouts and continues walking.

* MEANWHILE ON TEAM ERZA *

"Finally!! Finished the job and now i can finally eat" Lucy says as she stretches.

"Yep! I'm also craving for a cake.. We better hurry and find a nearby town" Erza says as everyone nods and went on their journey.

* BACK TO NATSU AND COMPANY *

"Finally a nearby town!!" Dimaria and Brandish shouts in sync as they quickly look for a restaurant.

"This is called a town Flame. Oh and it has lots and lots of stores! And there's food and-" Natsu was interrupted when Jellal fake coughed.

"I was busy talking to my daughter" Natsu glares at him as he sighs.

"Weren't we gonna buy her clothes first?" Jellal asks as Natsu clicked his tongue.

"Ah you're right... Hey you lots! Let's go and find clothes first. Flame is our first priority" Natsu announces as the duo immediately comes towards him.

"Yessir!" they both saluted as they continue walking searching suitable clothes for their little demon.

NATSU'S POV
We walked and circled around the stores until we finally found it.

"Finally..." I sigh as I walk towards the seller.

"Good noon sir! Looking for clothes for your cute daughter? We have the finest and most suitable clothes just for her!" the seller introduces as I grin ear to ear.

"Please show me!" I say as he picks up some... dress?

"Let's try it on shall w-" he was interrupted when Bran, Juv and Dim came towards us.

"Let us, girls, handle this" Juv says and suddenly grabs Flame.

"Wait what?" I ask and before I knew, they ran away with her.

"Hey! Where the hell are you taking her!!" I shout as I try to catch up to them.

"You'll thank us later for this Natsu!!" Bran shouts as I fall to my knees catching my breath.

"What the!?" I raise my head and suddenly realize they were gone.

"Damn... Where the hell did they go?!" I sigh and turn around to see Gajeel and the others.

"Jeez.... They said they will handle it so leave them be" Jellal says as he sighs.

"Fine fine... Whatever...." I say as I roll my eyes.

"Can't be helped... Well let's go and eat first... I'm hungry...." I say as they nod.

THIRD POV
Natsu and company entered a restaurant only to find familiar faces.

"You again?!" Gray shouts pointing at them.

"No not me, it's you...." Natsu glares as Gray glares back.

"No fighting... I'm hungry... I'll go and order you go and find tables" Gajeel says as Natsu nods.

"Uhhh.... But Natsu... It's all full... There's no spare tables..." Jellal whispers as Natsu facepalms.

"Nooo.... Why now...." Natsu sighs.

"We could get share a table with-"

"Not a word" Natsu interrupted.

"But... We're really... And need to rest..." Jellal sighs. "I'll go talk to them... You wait here..." he continues and walks towards Gray's team.

JELLAL'S POV
My heart was pounding so fast. Erza's here... Damn... And her team's here.... I gotta keep my cool...

I finally stopped and they stared at me. They stopped eating and well.... awkward.

"Sorry guys... But... There's no free table and we need to eat.... Can we share a table with you? If it's possible" I said still trying to keep my cool.

"Why?" Gray asks staring at me.

"I already told you the reason" I said raising an eyebrow.

"Enough of that... You can sit here and share a table with us" Erza sighs as I thank her and signalled Natsu and everyone to come.
