Chapter 08

After all the drama that happened in the Fairy Tail guild hall, everything is back to normal and now we can find 5 people sitting at a table talking, these people are the Strauss Siblings, Naruto and Satsuki.

"So Naruto-kun, are you going to introduce us to your new friend?" Mirajane, who was sitting across from Naruto, spoke as she looked at Satsuki with a suspicious look, which was returned with an indifferent look.

"Oh sure, sorry for forgetting about you before, Satsuki." Naruto gave his friend an apologetic look, who gave him a nod before he continuing to speak.

"Mira-Chan, Elf-kun and Lisa-chan this is Satsuki Uchiha, a friend I met on my way here." He spoke, gesturing towards the black haired girl.

"And Satsuki, these are Mirajane, Elfman and Lisanna they are the ones I told you I thought died." The boy continued, gesturing as he spoke.

"Hn, I noticed..." Satsuki said while giving Mirajane an intense look, who returned the look with the same intensity before turning her attention to Naruto.

"So, Tomato, did your mother let you leave the house to join a guild?" Mirajane asked as she smirked at the redhead's irritated appearance when she called him by the detestable nickname, but was soon worried to see him visibly despond and look sad when his mother was mentioned.

"Naruto-kun?… Did something happen?" She asked worriedly as she ignored the smoldering look Satsuki was giving her.

Meanwhile, Elfman also gave his friend a worried look and Lisanna, who was still clinging to her Nii-san's arm, wondered what happened to make him sad and what she could do to cheer him up.

'Maybe Natsu has some idea?' She thought as she looked in the direction of the pink haired boy.

"Well... My mother is dead..." Naruto said with a sad smile and felt Lisanna squeeze his arm and bury her head in her chest, trying to comfort him.

Elfman had no idea what to make in this situation, so he contented himself with giving his friend a supportive look.

"Ohh Naru-kun, I had no idea, I'm sorry for mentioning that..." Mirajane said as she got up and went to the bench next to him and Lisanna, and Lisanna seeing her sister approach moved away from the redhead's hug and soon after Mirajane hugged him instead.

The two hugged each other for at least a minute, just enjoying each other's presence.

Satsuki was feeling that uncomfortable feeling again watching this scene and wondered again what it was and why she was starting to get upset with the white haired girl.

'It's because she hurt MY friend, mentioning his mother, yes that's it, I'm upset that she hurt him.' She gave a satisfied nod to herself for having discovered the cause of the unknown feelings and turned back to look at Mirajane with a angry look.

On the other side of the guild was an upset Erza Scarlet who had just been reprimanded by the master for her exaggerated behavior and was giving Mirajane a death glare while at the same time wondering who the red-haired boy was and why she had such a feeling of familiarity and security when she got close to him, the only people who ever made her feel that way were Rob and Master Makarov.

In a different corner of the guild was the pink haired boy who was staring at the new guild member, he was confused, when Lisanna started to hug the redhead he felt an urge to fight him for some reason and just looking at him he felt like he was the opposite of him, and he smelled familiar for some reason...

The black haired boy who uses ice magic was sitting at another table while he was also thinking about the new guild members, he felt familiarity with the black haired girl for some reason and just as he felt that he would hate Natsu as soon as he put the eyes on him, he felt like he was going to get along with the red-haired boy…

Satsuki grew impatient after she saw the two childhood friends hug each other for more than a minute and cleared her throat quite a bit high, which startled the two a little and made them reluctantly separate, but Mirajane didn't leave his side and Lisanna went back to hugging his arm now free.

"Naru-nii, can you tell me about your mother?" Lisanna asked as she snuggled into him and hoped that talking about it would help cheer him up at least a little.

"Of course… for starters, you know my mother is a dragon, right?" Naruto asked and everyone nodded.

"So, she found me when...-"

"WHAT!?" He was interrupted before he could continue and looked over to whoever shouted to see the pink haired boy run up to him with an excited smile on his face.

The boy ran to their table and started talking quickly.

"You said your mother is a Dragon, right!? So you know where Igneel is!?" He spoke (More like yelled) to the red-haired boy, who recovered from his momentary surprise before replying.

"You mean Igneel the Fire Dragon King?" Naruto asked, and the boy nodded excitedly. "Well no my mom just told me stories about him and how he is one of the strongest dragons that ever lived."

Natsu, upon hearing his response, was instantly disheartened, but then realized something.

"Wait, you said your mother is a Dragon, so… ARE YOU A DRAGON SLAYER TOO!?" He shouted excitedly at the end, attracting the attention of the entire guild.

"Yes, I am the Water Dragon Slayer." To demonstrate he made a finger gun and pointed it at one of the guild windows, soon a small magic circle appeared in front of his fingers, he pretended to pull a trigger and from the magic circle fired a high pressure water bullet, which flew away into the open window.

Little Lisanna had stars in her eyes at how cool her Nii-san looked as he blew on his fingers as if they were a real weapon.

While Natsu was even more excited to see another person like him in the guild.

"FIGHT ME!" He said with a huge smile on his face and his hands on fire.

Naruto gave the boy a smile and replied.

"Sure, why not, I was waiting to be tested to join the guild anyway, besides..." The pupils of Naruto's eyes were slitted like a dragon's as he looked at the other boy like a predator looks at its prey.

"I want to see how strong a fellow Dragon Slayer is and if you deserve the title of Fire Dragon Prince."
