Bastard..!" he swung his bat "YOU DAMN BASTARD!" the boy yelled.

"No.. please..no more!" a man, beaten and broken was laying on the ground. He couldn't move because of the pain, his shoulder and legs were broken and his clothes bloody, "PLEASE! I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.." he started crying.

"You're sorry?" he asked while lifting up the bloody bat "YOU DON'T GET TO BE SORRY!" he yelled, as he swung down.

Natsu woke up with cold sweat. He was breathing heavily and he noticed his hands were shaking. He looked around "good, the class didn't seem to notice me" he thought with relief.

He stood up, his hair covering his eyes: "Teacher, can I be excused?"

"What's wrong?" Gildarts looked surprised and worried.

"Nothing, I just need to go to the toilet" he replied. The teacher nodded and Natsu left the class. "Another dream, huh..?" Gildarts wondered as the boy left the room.

He was making his way to the school roof "That's the only place I can properly relax.." he thought as he put on his headphones.

On the roof, he went to the same side as he always did. He was hoping the same scarlet haired girl would be there to keep him company, but she wasn't. "Why would she be here" he thought "it's the middle of the lesson.." he muttered. It's been two weeks since they saw each other for the first time, and every day after that, they'd enjoy each other's company from afar. Natsu noticed, that every time when the fourth lesson ended and when the break was longest, she'd go there.

But this time she wasn't there, even though Natsu wasn't surprised, he could barely hold his tears in.

He fell to his knees, one arm on the rail and the other on his eyes "Damn it.." he said as tears started running down his cheeks.

"Natsu.." he felt an arm on his shoulder. He started wiping off the tears from his eyes, he turned around, it was Gray. "Same dream?" he asked, Natsu nodded.

"Here, come on, let's get some coffee" he said as he helped him up and slowly started walking towards the exit, Natsu followed.

Natsu sat down near the school canteen where the coffee machine was. Gray went to get some coffee, "You can't beat yourself up for what happened forever, you know" Gray said, with a sad tone in his voice.

"I can't?" Natsu was taken aback "I have to, I did k-" he was interrupted by Gray, who was handing him the coffee.

"Yes." Gray started talking "You did. But the guy deserved it." He paused, then sighed: "I'm not saying that what you did was right, it wasn't." he sipped some coffee "but what happened, happened, you can't change it," he continued, "and beating yourself up for the rest of your life won't help neither you nor your friends" he said, the concern in his voice was too obvious.

Hearing those words, Natsu couldn't help but feel a little bit relieved. His friends cared for him, and that was all he needed to get through the day. "Thanks" he said while smiling faintly.

"Anytime, pinky"

"Oh shut up" he said as they both shared a laugh.

After a few minutes of silence: "Alright, let's go back to class, or the old man will kick both our asses" Gray said, smiling.

"Aye" Natsu quietly laughed.

Erza was walking down the hall. It was apparent that she was mad, really mad. Some first years were chatting outside their classrooms, she glared at them: "Get back to your classrooms!" she said, with a sort of killing intent. The kids got so scared they couldn't even move.

"I said, GET BACK TO YOUR CLASSROOMS!" She yelled, then they vanished so fast she didn't even see them.

Erza continued to storm down the hall as if nothing happened, fumes coming out of her head. She slammed the door to the student council room open, scaring everyone inside "What's wrong?" she asked while entering, "get back to work" then ordered, everyone complied.

"You should ask her what happened before she kills us all, Mira" asked her Loki. Mirajane sighed:"Fine, but If I die, I'm going to haunt you." she said with a dark glare. "She's scary too" Loki thought, as he averted his eyes from the mayhem that was about to happen.

"What did the principal say, Erza?" she asked, trying as hard as she could to not look frightened by the mighty Erza.

"Too many fights in the school grounds, he said, the grades of students are too low, he said." As she continued, Mira became more and more scared for her life, "The school is a disgrace to the Dreyar name, he said." Her eyes were glowing red, her fingers scratching the table, her mad grin was enough to scare even the birds chirping outside.

"Are you going to do anything about it?" asked Mira. She shouldn't have asked that.

"Will I do anything about it?" Erza repeated the question which she thought was a challenge, "What the hell do you think?" She stood up, slammed her fist on the table and started yelling: "Get this across through everyone, if you ever dare to get in to a fight, make sure you die, cause if you don't, I'm going to hunt you down and kill you myself!"

Mira's eyes were wide open. She couldn't move from the fear that this demon, the Titania of Fairy Tail High would unintentionally kill her with her aura alone.

"I think everyone heard you already" said Loki.

"What was that?" Erza glared

"Nothing, I'm sorry, I didn't say anything!" he pleaded for his life.

"hmpf" she left the room.

"I wonder what's going to happen to Natsu.." thought Mira, once she regained her senses.

It was gym time. The boys were playing football. Both Natsu and Gray were part of the same team as attackers. It was 2-2 with thirty seconds left until the match was over.

Natsu and Gray were attacking. Never has anyone seen them so in sync with each other. Gray was with the ball, but Alzack was standing in his way, and to Natsu's knowledge, he was a good tackler. "Pass it here, Gray!" he yelled, and so he did.

The pass went over Alzack, Natsu stopped the ball with his chest and started running towards the goal. Elfman was the goalkeeper.

"Eat this!" Natsu roared as he kicked the ball. Elfman tried catching it, but it was just too fast and went right through him. The ball entered the net, and immediately after that the whistle was blown. They won.

"SHIT!" Elfman cursed, "that was not manly at all!"

"Get over it!" said Natsu with a mischievous grin, "You never had a chance" added Gray as he and Natsu fist-bumped.

"Alright, shitheads" yelled the gym teacher, Laxus Dreyar "get some rest, I'll be back in five minutes" he said as he left.

As Laxus left, Elfman turned to Natsu: "Natsu!" he yelled "Fight me!"

Natsu's eyes widened. He was genuinely surprised. Even though Elfman was three times his size, he wouldn't just go in to a fight out of the blue. Especially with him. He looked at Gray, his face was looking serious. Natsu sighed:

"You told him, didn't you?" he asked.

"You know I had to" replied Gray.

"Yeah.." said Natsu with a sad expression on his face "Well come at me then, Elfman!" he said as he turned back to the large guy in front of him, his expression changing.

As he heard those words, Elfman charged at Natsu, swinging his fist at his face. Natsu dodged. It wasn't surprising that Elfman would have a hard time fighting with Natsu, because he was so much smaller than him, and in turn faster.

Elfman tried landing another hit, but that one was dodged too, Natsu went under him and tried an uppercut, which the big guy barely blocked.

Elfman stepped back a bit, "Damn, that hurt", he thought as he was rubbing his arms, "He's not called the Salamander of Magnolia for nothing" he muttered to himself as he charged again.

"You know you can't win, Elfman" said Natsu, already irritated by Elfman's futile attempts. He charged the big guy head on. Elfman tried another punch, but Natsu would have none of that, he easily pushed his fist away, jumped to his head's height, and landed a kick directly on Elfman's face. Elfman was sent flying a few feet back.

Elfman was laying on the ground, his vision blurry "I can't lose now!" he thought as he slowly got up. Natsu's face changed, he became annoyed at how he was still trying to fight even though his chances of winning slimmed to nothing. "ELFMAN!" he shouted as he charged at him.

Suddenly, Natsu remembered his dream and a girl with blue eyes and white hair. His eyes widened. He smiled, as he closed them and was still running towards Elfman, his fists weren't up.

Elfman punched Natsu in the stomach, so hard that Natsu spit out blood. He grabbed him by the throat and backed him to the ground, pounding him on the face.

"Natsu!" yelled Lucy, but Gray stopped her: "What are you doing, Gray? Aren't you his friend? Stop thi-" he put a hand on her shoulder.

"Have you ever heard of The Salamander of Magnolia?" he asked her. She nodded. "Well that's him right there, getting beat up by the guy with the softest heart in all of FT High." he smiled, "He'll be alright, don't worry so much."

Elfman stood up. He said, panting: "You had enough yet?"

Natsu was smiling: "That all you got, big guy?" blood oozing out of his eyebrow on to his eye. Elfman smiled and gave him a hand. Natsu took it, and Elfman helped him up.

"Look, Natsu, don't beat yourself up over what happened, it wasn't your fault" he said.

"Yeah, I know, Gray already had this conversation with me" he laughed, "but thanks, I needed a good fight" he smiled.

Elfman nodded as he helped him on to a bench.

Look, Natsu, don't beat yourself up over what happened, it wasn't your fault" he said.

"Yeah, I know, Gray already had this conversation with me" he laughed, "but thanks, I needed a good fight" he smiled.

Elfman nodded as he helped him on to a bench.

"Natsu, we need to get you to the infirmary, NOW!" Lucy exclaimed as she saw the blood on Natsu's eye.

"Lucy.. I'm fine" Natsu said calmly.

"I SAID NOW!" She yelled.

"Aye sir!" Natsu said, scared out of his mind.

"She's sometimes even scarier than my sisters classmate, Erza" Elfman muttered to himself.

Erza!" yelled Cana as she entered the council room.

"What happened?" asked Erza, surprised.

"There's been a fight" she replied.

"A fight, you say..?" Erza asked, slowly getting up from her desk, her aura of darkness was so visible, that it darkened the whole council room, "Where are the perpetrators?" she yelled.

"One of them is in the infirmary, the other.." she didn't even get to finish her sentence as Erza stormed to the infirmary.

"Who's at the infirmary?" asked Mira, concerned for that person's well being after Erza is done with them.

"Natsu." She said, laughing, "Oh he's going to get it now."

"I thought so" Mirajane sighed, "Natsu, brace yourself.." she prayed.

Natsu touched his eyebrow "Ouch! Damn this hurts" he exclaimed.

He was buttoning his shirt when the Infirmaries door slammed open. "SHOW YOURSELF YOU-" he heard a woman's yell.

Natsu replied, irritated: "Can't a guy even get dressed in pea-" his sentence was cut off when he turned his head to see a girl with raid hair looking at him, blushing.

Natsu's eyes widened, he blushed, "she's the same girl.." he thought.

"Hi, I'm Natsu" he said with a smile on his face.

"E-Erza.." she replied, shyly.

Then she remembered.

"Wait, Natsu. Your eyebrow and stomach are bandaged, did you get in to a fight..?" She asked, with an evil aura around her.

Natsu instantly figured out what was going to happen. In short - nothing good.

"No-" he was smacked on the head.

"No fighting in the school!" she yelled "Scratch that, no fighting at all!" she yelled again as she kept smacking him.

"Scary!" Natsu said.

"What did you say?" Erza asked while she kept smacking him.

"Nothing! Ouch! Stop it, that hurts, you hag!" Natsu exclaimed.

"What did you call me..? she asked as she punched him in the face.

"Nothing! Nothing! I'm sorry!" he yelled.

"They're really going at it in there" said Gray, outside of the infirmary, fearing for Natsu's life.

"Aye" both Elfman and Lucy replied.
