"Someone home?" Yukino questioned, "Who might that be?"

Yua didn't answer as she's occupied of observing them, thinking if they were the right people for the job. Seeing they looked capable, Yua answered. "A person with Amnesia."

"Amnesia?" Sting repeated in question. Yua nodded. Rogue asked, "So does this person don't remember anything?"

"Everything is the exact word." Yua answered. "This person seems capable in using magic too and also one of the members of the magic guild. Your task was to get along with him and bring him home. What I mean from home is you people will stay by his side, until he remembers everything."

"So this mission was like helping this person home at the same time, bring back his memories." Rogue clarified. Yua smirked, "Looks like you have smart people in your group. Much as I like and that's right."

Rogue and Yukino nodded. Lector and Frosh decided to stay quiet as they listen. Sting this time questioned. "So where is this person?"

Yua thought for a moment before replying, "In the balcony just over the right." She pointed the location. "Also, since you need to meet him, keep in mind he's very wary to any strangers. Very wary, be sure to approach him in a good and nice way or you might scare him."

Everyone nodded. Yua gave them permission to go on and meet the person. They glanced to each other before standing up from their sit and decided to meet the person. Yua watched them left.

Arriving the balcony, they felt the fresh air when they saw the person which truly shocked them.

There was a person standing as he stared the view in front of him. He's wearing light orange pants and white long sleeve shirt. His hair was very familiar which they could never forget, pink. The person they were seeing in front of them was none other than the lost mage of Fairy Tail, Natsu Dragneel.

Natsu still unaware of their presence was still staring at the view.

"N-Natsu-san!" Natsu was bit startled on the sudden and foreign call when he slowly turned around and saw the group of people who looked to be in disbelief and really shocked. Natsu gave a questioning look. Sting spoke again, "Natsu-san... is... is that you?"

Natsu kept staring them. His eyes show no recognition of these people.

Sting was starting to stepped forward while Natsu stepped back. Sting finally dashed forward, going to give a hug. "Natsu-san!"

Natsu was startled as he run to the other side, making Sting hit the floor instead of him.

"Ouch!" Sting exclaim as he tried to sit up, touching his nose which was the first one to hit before his body.

"Natsu-sama?" Natsu glanced on the caller. This time, it was the girl, Yukino. "S-so this is where you are. Everyone in Fairy Tail was looking all over for you."

"That's right." Lector followed up. "Everyone as in the whole guild were worried sick for you."

"Everyone was truly worried." Frosh added.

"Natsu-san why are you here?" Rogue asked.

Natsu kept staring them, not answering at all. As they saw him, he seem... confused? Why?

"I told you to approach him in good and nice way." Everyone turned to Yua who was leaning on the wall, watching them.

"Y-Yua-san" For the first time, Natsu spoke.

Yua smiled and nodded. She faced them. "So you know him? That would be great coincidence." She said as she walked forward, heading to Natsu's side. She faced them again. "Sabertooth, this is the person you will escort and helping to regain his memories."

"Eh!?" Yukino can't help but cover her mouth from the shock. The others were wide eyes open in disbelief. Natsu on the other hand kept staring them, wary. Yua stayed quiet, knowing they need to absorb that fact for a moment.

Later, Natsu was sat on the couch with Yua while the others sat on the other side, still staring him. Now that they think about it, Natsu looked... different.

His muscular body was losing and pale for some reason.

Yua was the first one to speak. "Natsu you need to greet this people. They will be the one who will help you regain your memories and return you back home." Natsu turned to them and looked down, still greeted, "P-please to meet you... I'm... Natsu... I guess..."

"Still not used on that name?" Yua questioned. Natsu nodded as his response.

"Wait just a second!" Both turn to them. Sting spoke disbelief, "Are you saying that... Natsu-san doesn't remember anything?"

"Everything. I did a lot of research until I finally figured it out his name was Natsu Dragneel." Yua told them.

Everyone observed Natsu for a while before back to her.

"Just what happen to him?" Yukino asked. Rogue followed, "He's been missing for three years and everyone in Fairy Tail were looking all over for him. Will you tell us?"

"Fairy Tail?" Everyone turned to Natsu. "What's Fairy Tail?" He asked, completely have no idea what Fairy Tail was.

Surely everyone except Yua was taken aback from how he acted. Natsu seem... not Natsu at all.

Still, Lector decided to answer his question. "Fairy Tail is a magic Guild. Your one of the member whom you treat as your family. Don't you remember them?"

Natsu thought for a moment before shaking his head, telling no much as their shock and pain.

Yua sighed before facing them. "That's the thing, he doesn't remember and I think it's not easy for him to remember at all. It took time for me to make him get use to his name."

Everyone shift their attention back to Yua, "Just how do you know about Natsu-san? More importantly, how come he's here with you?" Sting questioned.

Yua observed them for a moment before turning to Natsu who's down, terrified and nervous. Yua turned back to them, "I will tell you, only two of you Sting and Rogue of Sabertooth."

"How do you know their name?" Yukino asked. Yua answered, "When you called and told me the party's name, of course I know. All I have to do is guess whose name it belongs with." Yua reasoned with a smirked. "For now... mind accompanying Natsu here? You all need to get used of this guy, since you all can see he is right now out of his own character."

"Y-Yua-san they're-" Yua pat his head, "They're safe Natsu and they will help you. You should learn how to trust them at this point." Natsu looked down, nervous. Yua gave a small smile, "Now, why don't you with the rest of them go to the garden and try to know them... again."

Natsu turned back to them, staring before standing up and walked away. Yukino, Frosh and Lector faced Yua who's now in serious expression and nodded, telling them to go. The three stood up and followed Natsu from behind, leaving only the three of them.

Yua took a deep breath, knowing the twin Dragon Slayer was focused, seeking answer.

"I will tell you but I would like to say this information is something that must not leak out. No one must know, if ever you need to tell it, only few. Never enlarge or that could endanger his life, especially in his condition."

The two nodded, understanding her. She sighed before speaking once again.

"I found him a year ago, more like I rescued him. I found him floating around the river near the capital called Fiore. He was actually injured and very pale so I decided to rescue him and treat him. I really though his end was coming near, since he never woke up, still I treated him until exactly two weeks when he woke up. I checked his condition and I found it really intruding. I am positively sure he's a magician, sensing a magic around his body, but when I checked him, I don't sense any magic around him."

"Eh? What's that suppose to mean?" Sting questioned. Yua answered, "It means he's a magician with no magic possession."

That made the two shocked.

Rogue asked, "Was that even possible?" Yua answered, "As much as I know, no."

She took a deep breath before continuing, "I ask him many things since this was my first time encountering such thing when I found out he lost his memories. I took him and observed him, hoping to know more about this symptom and find a way to cure him but in the end, I found none. As I observe him, I tried knowing everything about him and the only information I have is his name and guild he was in called Fairy Tail. I tried asking him if ever he remember that name but nothing. So finally I decided to make a quest which was that quest you took to all guilds except Fairy Tail and hopefully, this guild would help me could protect him from any cost."

"Protect him? From who?" Rogue asked.

"From those people who after him." Yua answered, "When he's still in my care, a group of unknown people attacked us and tried to kidnap him but I able to stop them. They kept coming that became a distress for Natsu so I decided to move out and hide here as they say." Yua sighed, "Any questions?"

"Who are those people who after Natsu-san?" Sting questioned.

Yua answered, "That's what I want to investigate at this moment. To do that, someone has to protect Natsu from them at the same time, I want someone to help him remember his past, hopefully that could help me find something about them."

"You seem serious about this." Rogue commented.

"Of course." Yua closed her eyes, "Magicians loosing the capability to do magic. I think it's very dangerous if ever it spread around, much more when the origin of that symptom was a group of people who plan something for certain things." She opened her eyes, completely serious. "I think that reason is enough for me to act and must be in hidden way. I can't trust anyone, knowing I found him in the river and near the capital, something is absolutely going on there and I need to expose it before its too late."

The two were surprised. Somehow, they can tell everything that's happening were all according to her plan, just to find those people who ever they were hurt their most respected friend.

Both became serious, silently agreeing to help.

"Good you both understand." Yua said, somehow glad they were. "Your group will return him back to his home called Fairy Tail. You cannot tell them everything but you may on the people you all knew that could keep secret and surely the Guild Master too. Have them help him remember his past at the same time, protect him." She raised her right arm, putting it to her chin. "Your group is absolutely needed to stay by his side and protect him even if his own family was with him. If those people knew Natsu is a member of Fairy Tail, those unknown group right now was closely watching over Fairy Tail, that was one of the reason why I can't give them this quest no matter what."

Both were surprise ones again from the revelation as to why the whole guild except Fairy Tail had this quest.

Sting was the one who spoke, "You truly plan this."

Yua smirked, "You want to succeed, you need to make a perfect plan to accomplish it although everything onward where everything will be judge through gambling."

Both of them glanced to each other then shifted back to her, silently telling her to continue.

"Once you all with Natsu come back to Fairy Tail, surely they will make a plan how to take him back. For me, Natsu became their valuable experiment which was the reason they needed him. He is important which give us more reason why we need to make him remember his past." Yua closed her eyes again, "This was just my theory but... if ever Natsu remember his past, and so his magic. Restoring his magic was the most important thing for him to be able to protect himself."

"So that's the reason why you want us to protect him even if we return him home." Sting thought for a moment and so was Rogue. It didn't take a minute before they both decided to fully agree taking this quest. If it means protecting the person who saved them and their guild from their dark side, it would be a very honor to pay it back and this time, save him from whomever after the life of their Guild savior.

Both faced her and nodded. They showed their determination to protect him, much that made Yua happy.

'I made a right choice after all.' Yua thought as she watched them. She nodded, giving them an approval to fully take the quest she had given.

Soon, both Sting and Rogue went back the balcony where they saw Natsu sat on the chair and staring both Frosh and Lector as they both talk to him, well mostly Lector and Frosh agreeing only. Yukino just watched them. When she noticed their coming, she stood up and approached them.

"How was it?" Yukino asked. Sting and Rogue nodded.

"We got the whole information and we both decide to take this mission, fully." Sting said with determination. Yukino smiled and nodded, not complaining at all.

"We'll tell you everything later Yunino." Rogue told her knowing she will ask what they had talked about, "For now, how was he?"

Yukino became sad for a moment before turning back to Natsu and the Exceeds. "Natsu-sama can't remember everything as she said and I tried to tell him many things that hopefully he might remember something but nothing."

Sting and Rogue looked down for a while before returning back to him. Sting took this chance to walk forward, heading to them.

"Natsu-san." Sting called, making the Exceeds halted while Natsu turned to him. Sting can see his wariness through his eyes. Sting kneeled down, but still facing him.

"Lector, Yunino and Frosh might have already introduced themselves to you so now its our turn to introduce ourselves." Sting said. He observed him for a moment. Seeing he's full attention, he continued. "My name is Sting Eucliffe from Sabertooth Guild. I use a magic called White Dragon Slayer. It was a magic that was used to slay Dragons."

"Dragon Slayer?" Natsu questioned. Sting smiled and nodded. "That's right."

Lector added, "He's also the Sabertooth Guild Master Natsu-san."

"Guild Master... that seems impressive." Natsu commented. Sting blushed a bit, "Well it was all thanks to you Natsu-san."

"That's right." This time, Rogue joined Sting as he kneeled down too so Natsu won't get wary about his presence. "Natsu-san my name is Rogue Cheney, Sabertooth Guild just like everyone and my magic is called Shadow Dragon Slayer. We're like same magic as Sting."

"Fro think so too." Frosh said with a smile.

Natsu blinked for a moment before smiling a bit, "You two looked like twins."

"We were known by that name." Rogue said with a smile. Sting followed, "Twin Dragon Slayer of Sabertooth."

Natsu hummed for a moment before asking, "Then do I also have magic that you called Dragon Slayer too? The girl named Yukino over there told me about that."

Sting grinned, "That's right, the Fire Dragon Slayer. You use Fire magic Natsu-san and believe it or not, you alone defeat both of us in the competition called Grand Magic Game." Rogue can't help but chuckled, "You were really that strong Natsu, that's why we swore we will get stronger so someday when we fight again, we will win."

Natsu back away. Sting immediately reacted, "Ahhh d-don't worry Natsu-san. We can take that score once you remember and you can use your magic again. Beside we're not truly enemies, we're friends and rival that's all."

"Rival?" Somehow that made Natsu felt ease with them again. Yukino decided to join in, "No matter what guild we were, we're all friends... something like that Natsu-sama."

"Heh, I couldn't help but agree at all yes" Lector said. Frosh added, "Friends!"

Natsu looked each one of them and smiled, looks like he's finally convince himself he could trust them.

From afar, Yua was watching, glad that he accepted them.

Soon, Yua let them stay her home as she cooked dinner for everyone. They were all focus on talking to Natsu. Trying to talk things about what happened on how they first met, how they battle and so forth.

Dinner was soon served and really Sting and Lector were like gluttony that eats so much with joy to their faces. Rogue was telling them about manners but Yua told him its fine and let them be. Yukino was enjoying herself and turned to Natsu. She saw Natsu smiling as he watched them. This somehow made Yukino happy and talked to Natsu, asking him if he wanted more.

Bed time when everyone were preparing for bed. Natsu in his room was packing his things, knowing they will start traveling heading to the place they called his home, Fairy Tail.

As he packed someone knocked his door and opened, it was Yua.

"Yua-san!" Natsu was surprise to see her. Yua smiled as she let herself in and went to Natsu.

"Feeling excited?" Yua asked. Natsu shook his head, "I feel nervous Yua-san. I don't remember anything about those people they told me my family and those people might come hurt them. I don't want anyone to suffer because of me."

Yua stroked his head, "Don't worry Natsu and you will be fine. I heard Fairy Tail is one of the wild, very warm guild. They treat each member as family and as a family they protect and smile each other. You will need to open up with them if you want to regain your memories."

"But...I'm bit... scared. I mean, why did I lose my memories in the first place? What truly happened to me? Why do they after me? For some reason I want to remember at the same time I don't want to remember Yua-san." Natsu told his worries.

Yua huff as she sat beside him to his bed, "You're afraid because you feel that the reason why you don't remember anything is because your mind told you not to remember, right? Then how about those people who remember you and those who care for you the most? Would they be happy that the person they precious right now don't remember them? Would everything be fine like this? Will you keep running away from this?"

"N-no I don't want to run. It's just that-"

"I know but you have to face your fear and trust your comrades to help you Natsu. I know it's hard to trust someone you don't know that is why I made a quest mission for you. They will be the people who will protect you and surely can be trusted. Those people from Sabertooth can be trusted Natsu, you do know how I plan things correct?"

Natsu nodded, understanding her. Yua smiled again huff his hair, "Once you remember, you might regret few things but I know in the end you will be thankful you did. Face your fear Natsu and return home, where your true family was."

"Don't you want me to stay here with you? I already see you as my mother Yua-san."

"What an honor Natsu, still I can't always be by your side and I can't just take you away just because you don't have any memories about them. You got to understand Natsu, okay?"

Natsu pouted but nodded. Yua smiled to that. "Now, be sure to prepare everything and get a nice rest because tomorrow you will meet that family of yours. Once I have time, I'll come and visits so don't worry."

Natsu smiled, "Thanks Yua-san."

Yua nodded and this time, decided to help Natsu pack things for tomorrow.

Next day after breakfast, everyone was outside, carrying their things to go off on their journey. Natsu this time was wearing black pants and red shirt. That was the time they noticed something off from him. His guild mark in his shoulder was missing.

Yua seeing their unsaid question decided to answer, "Since his magic disappeared, I think magic that were attach on him also went with it. His mark is missing as you all can see."

"Mark? What are you talking about Yua-san?" Natsu asked.

"This Natsu-san." Lector showed his mark as a member of Sabertooth. Everyone also showed their marks for him to see. Yukino decided to explain things, "You see Natsu-sama, once you join a guild, you will have a mark of their guild, saying you are a member of this guild. Since we are Sabertooth, we have this mark. Natsu-sama also has a mark from Fairy Tail and it was different from us."

"Your mark was on your upper right shoulder." Rogue pointed his shoulder. Natsu looked to it and saw no mark at all.

"Still the mark is in there." Yua spoke, "It was just invisible but there's still a small particle that the mark is still in there. It might show up if you're magic recovered Natsu."

Natsu stared it before nodding, understanding it.

Yua smiled then turned to everyone. "I already prepared a carriage for all of you to ride on until you all get to the port. It will be a long travel so hope you all could survive."

Rogue and Sting can't help but gulpped when they remember the hours and rides they need to take just to get to Magnolia. Yukino giggled on the two.

"Well that's the spirit... here." Yua hand over a large bag to them. They stared it for a moment before Sting taking it. He noticed how heavy it was.

"W-what is this?" Sting questioned. Yua answered, "The reward money."

"Eh?"

They opened it and they saw the money inside. They stared on Yua for explanation, seeing they still haven't start the mission yet they were already given the reward for it.

"I'll be off soon so I don't think when you complete your quest, I'll be here to give it to you. Whenever you spend it or not are up to you. For now all I want is for all of you to protect and help Natsu." Yua told them.

Lector sighed, "This is troublesome. We have a little pride about not taking the reward if ever we didn't finish the quest that was given to us... right Master? I mean Sting-kun."

Sting hummed as he thought about it, "Your right... oh well, let's not just spend this money and never touch it until the day we succeed this mission."

Rogue smiled, "Your right." Frosh followed up, "Fro think so too."

Natsu was staring them. Sting turned to him and smiled brightly, "So Natsu-san, are you excited to get home?"

"H-huh? W-well..." Natsu was still thinking what to answer when Yukino giggled, "Don't worry Natsu-sama, I'm sure you will remember and I'm pretty sure they miss you."

"Also, we're on your side even if you already get home Natsu." Rogue assured. Lector nodded, "That's right so there's nothing to worry." Sting followed, "We with your real Family, Fairy Tail will help and protect you. We can assure you that, I promise." Frosh added, "Fro think so too."

Somehow those words reassured him and smiled. Natsu nodded, telling them he understood which made everyone happy.

"Very well, until we meet again everyone." Yua told as they nodded in farewell.

Soon, they walked away from the house, bringing Natsu back to his real home, Fairy Tail.

I do not own Fairy Tail
