Natsume's pov
                          
"Why him? Why him of all people in the world? Why did he come back?" I stood there, with sweat dropping down the side of my face. "Natsume, i-" he looked up at me and Satomi launched herself onto Chase. "Hey sis, I'm so glad to see you're doing okay." He gave her his signature smile, as he looked down at her. "Hey bro, what are you two doing here?" Satoru went forward and high-fived him, but before answering Satomi slapped Chase on the back of the head. "Owwww, what was that for?!!" Chase held the spot where she had hit him, "Because you tried to kill Natsume!! You idiot!!" She kicked him in the stomach and started beating him up, while Satoru tried to get her from away from Chase. 
                          
I turned away from them, looking to the door. "Natsume, can we talk?" Gramps asked me and I nodded, "Come on to my office then." He waved and I followed after him up to his office. Once we got in there, I closed the door and he told me to take a seat. 
                          
"I wanna know what your connection is, to this Kato person?" He said and I looked at him shocked, before looking at the ground. "He was my very first human friend, ever since I got separated from Natsu. I met Kato when I was around 14, three months after Snow's disappearance. He wanted to help me at the time, and so he decided to help me look. When I first met Kato, he was quiet but also very sweet. Lucky didn't trust him at all, but I was too stupid and didn't listen to her. I should've have listened to her, if I did I could have seen that he was only using me to get to what he wanted." I clenched my fists out of anger, which was building with each passing minute.
                          
"Natsume, what did he want from you?" I looked up at him, "He wanted to resurrect Zeref. He wanted my blood to spill, so he could revive Zeref." I explained, "I see, well what about chase? What's your connection to him?" I calmed down enough, and sat back in the chair. "After Kato betrayed me, I met Chase. He was the nicest guy ever, but we had one problem. He loved me but I didn't, I looked up to him because he reminded me of Natsu." I unclenched my fists, as I saw the look on Master's face. "What happened when you told him that?" His eyes filled with worry, "He tried to kill me. But I escaped with lucky and soon met Jellal." I explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't know he-" Gramps began, but I cut him off. "It's alright, Gramps, you didn't know. I'm just gonna have to try and forget the past." I made him smile. "That's right. You should always put the past behind you. Don't let it ruin what you have now." I stood up and gave him a hug. He seemed surprised, "Thanks Gramps. You have done a lot for me and you don't even realize it. I love you, Gramps." I smiled as I hugged him and he hugged me back, "I love you too Natsume. If that Kato person pops up or Chase tries to hurt you, just let me know." I nodded as I walked down the stairs, but I wasn't looking where I was going and tripped over my foot. 
                          
"Natsume!" I heard them shout and I hit my head on one of the stairs and flew forward.
                          
"Natsume!!" I closed my eyes and fell into strong arms, "Is she okay?" I heard Lucy ask and footsteps and I opened my eyes. I was met with a very hard chest, and looked up at the person who caught me. I blushed deep red, when I saw who it was. "Hey, are you okay?" Gray asked, "Yeah, I think so." He held onto me, and we stayed that way for about a few minutes. "Earth to Gray and Natsume!" I blinked rapidly, after Mira waved her hand in between our faces. "Natsume are you sure, your okay? You did hit your head pretty hard." Lucy asked, "Yeah, I'm fine thanks to Gray. If he hadn't of caught me, who knows how injured I would be?" I chuckled softly, rubbing the back of my head.
                          
A paw smacked me across the cheek and then pulled my ear, making me yelp. "Owie! Lucky let go!!" I yelled at her, "No, you should be more careful. You keep getting yourself into way to much trouble!" She yelled at me sternly, almost sounding like Carla when she scolds Wendy. "Lucky, I'm sure she didn't mean to fall down the stairs." Wendy said, "That's no excuse, watch what you are doing at all times! You hear me?!" She continued to yell at me and I sighed and zoned out. I looked away from everyone, and saw a girl with a fluffy pink dress standing in the door way. She was laughing at us, "Hey are you new?" I asked and she stopped laughing, "Yeah, I was looking for a Natsume Dragneel." I widened my eyes at her, "That's me, who are you exactly?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "The names Mika. I came a small village South of here, and I really need your help." She said, her eyes held grief. "What's wrong?" I asked, "My village is in trouble. This guy... He has basically taken over the whole town. Please help my town." I nodded my head, "Sure thing. Do you want just me?" Lucky appeared on my shoulder, "Well, not really. I wanted team Natsu and you." She said, pushing her blonde hair back. "What do you say guys?" I turned my head to them, "Sure, why not?" Natsu shrugged his shoulders, "I'll come with you guys." Satomi raised her hand as well as did Satoru, Chase, Gajeel and Juvia. 
                          
"Alright, well it's set in stone. Now where are we heading?" I turned back towards her, "It's a small village, called Cedar Clove town." She said, "Alright, guide us there Mika." She nodded and we left the guild hall.
