22 Finding Natsu

Natsu and Lisanna didn't return back to Shun's house and Mira was getting a bit worried for them, she hesitated before she went to Shun's room and saw him sleeping comfortably on his bed with Wendy on the other side of the bed.

His sleeping face was so adorable that she wanted to hug it right now with no intention of leaving it any time soon, but right now, she wanted to find her little sister before it was too late, she was her younger sibling.

She didn't know what she would do if they couldn't find Lisanna, from the interactions that she observed from Shun and Natsu, she knew that they were also very close to each other, she knew that he would be incredibly sad if Natsu disappeared.

She nudged him a bit as his body shook a bit but he didn't wake up, Mirajane wasn't irritated as she nudged him once more and softly spoke, "Shun, Shun… Wake up please. I am a bit worried about my little sister, I do not know why she has not returned back here."

Hearing her words, Shun did open his eyes, he was still in a half sleepy state and was a bit startled to see Mirajane standing so close to him. His mind finally registered what she had said as he stood up from his bed.

Shun turned his head and saw Wendy still sleeping soundly and let out a sigh of relief, he didn't want her to wake up in between her sleep. He saw Mirajane standing with an anxious expression on her face, she looked as if she was about to started speaking to him and explain the whole matter.

Mirajane opened her mouth to speak but suddenly felt Ryusuke's finger on top of her lips as he whispered softly, "Shhhh…. Let's go outside, I don't want Wendy to wake up. She seemed really tired today…"

Mirajane nodded her head as even she didn't want Wendy to wake up right now, both of them started to move out of the room. Shun was moving quite close to Mirajane and his sharp nose picked up her feminine lavender scent that seems to be spreading from her body.

He didn't know why but he felt his body heating up as he smelled that scent, it was a very foreign experience for him. Shun didn't dare ask this as he didn't want to worry Mirajane more, she already seemed plenty worried.

Mirajane was also in the similar status, she was also slightly lost as she smelled his masculine smell, her demon instincts due to her magic were telling her 'He is the one, do it… do it… DO IT!'

She took a deep breath as she tried to control her demon instincts and then turned around to face Shun. Worry was etched onto her face as she spoke, "Shun, I am worried for Lisanna, she followed Natsu and still hasn't returned. Do you know where Natsu might have taken her…?"

Shun closed his eyes as he thought for some moments, he did remember that Natsu would go to a place to train around, only some weak beasts lived there so Shun didn't really mind Natsu training there.

He nodded his head as he smiled a little and consoled Mirajane. "Don't worry, I think I have an idea where they are." Mirajane let out a sigh of relief as soon as she heard his words, she knew that if he had an idea then there was a good chance that they will find them.

"Follow me!" He ordered Mirajane as he got out of the house and moved towards the forest in which Natsu usually trained, after a certain point, he could smell Natsu's smell, he had been with him for so long that he remembered his scent.

Shun looked towards Mirajane's direction and pokes one side of her cheek to gather her attention, he grins as he says, "Don't worry now… I found them. They are close by…" His words caused Mirajane to sigh in relief, she was thankful that he had found them.

She followed Shun and noticed a hut made of straw and other mud like stuff, she followed Shun as they entered the straw hut and saw her sister and Natsu sleeping there while hugging the egg very tightly.

Shun smiled as he saw this and then turned towards Mirajane, "Looks like you were worried for nothing. Seems like they were too tired to return back home." Mirajane nodded her head as she heard his words, "Yes, I guess I was overthinking too much."

She stretched her hands up in the air as she yawned and expressed her desire to sleep now, "I am tired now. Let's go back and sleep... " Shun nodded as he glanced at Natsu and others one last time and returns back to the house.

The next morning, Shun wakes up as he feels soft lips coming in contact with his cheeks. His eyes open as he catches a glimpse of those purple hair and smiles a bit, he knew that it was Wendy who was awake now.

Shun saw her running out of the room as she seemed quite embarrassed to do this, he stretches his hands as he stands up and speaks up, "Well, well… Wendy come back here." Wendy heard his words and was a bit nervous but she still entered the room.

Shun saw her fidgeting and very nervous to speak to him, Shun had a slightly serious expression on his face as he says, "Come closer!" Wendy was a bit startled with that tone as she had never heard Shun talk to her in that tone.

"Yes, Nii-chan~" She softly speaks up as she closes the distance between herself and Shun. Shun kneels down and kisses her forehead and suddenly pulls her into a hug as he exclaims, "KAWAI~ My little sister is so cute!"

Wendy was surprised as she heard his words, she thought that she would be scolded by Shun and not hugged, she also returned the hug as both of them remained in that hug for some time. Shun finally let her free from his hug and smiles brightly.

Wendy lowered her head as she had a slightly sad expression on her face, "I thought big brother didn't like that and wanted to scold me." Shun held his hand and raised her face by pushing her chin in upward direction and looked it her eyes.

He used that hand and flicked her forehead, Wendy let out a cry of pain, "Ow…. Why did you do that?" Shun just hmphed as he pouted a little and spoke in a depressed tone, "My little sister thinks that I will not like her. I hate and despise that thought …"

Wendy hugged him as the tears threatened to burst out from her eyes, "Ohh nii-chan, I-I won't ever think like that. You are the best big brother in the world." Shun hugged her back as he says, "And you are the cutest and best younger sister in the world."

With that, she both parted and then went downstairs where Mirajane had made the meal. Elfman seems to be munching the breakfast and Shun was also curious as to how was Mira's cooking.

He sat down on the chair and started to eat the breakfast, as soon as he swallowed the first bite, his speed at eating nearly tripled, he felt as if he was more hungry than usual. He had a delighted expression on his face as he exclaimed, "Wow! This food is heavenly… Even those top restaurants food is nothing in front of this."

He looked towards Mirajane with a strange fanaticism in his eyes, Mirajane had goosebumps as she felt her whole body being gazed at by Shun with that fanatic look in his eyes. Her cheeks reddened as she was happy that he was gazing at her with such a look…
