"When will Mommy and Daddy be home?" a young girl around the age of 6 asked tugging at the rim of Lisanna's light blue skirt. The girl's eyes were blue like her mother, but she inherited her father's light pink hair.

"Akahana , your parents will be home in two more days" Lisanna said putting down a plate full of suds. She then turned around from the kitchen counter top and bent down to face Akahana. "Why don't you go and play outside while I finish the dishes, and then I will come and join you" Lisanna suggested looking the child straight in the eye, giving her a smile to ensure the little girl that everything is going to be okay even though even Lisanna had her doubts. 'where are they?' she thought 'they shouldn't have taken this long it's been over a week since the day they told me they'd be back' Lisanna thought worriedly. 'No, no one can defeat Natsu, they are just running a little bit behind' she reassured herself dismissing the thought she had previously. 'Maybe she should ask happy to find Natsu and make sure ever thing is alright' she thought getting up to finish the dishes. 'But that will not work he has a family of his own' Lisanna thought disappointed when she came to that realization.

"Miss. Lisanna, someone is knocking on the door "Akahana said coming back into the bright white kitchen

'Who could it be?' Lisanna wondered drying her hands on a cloth. "Thank you sweetie" Lisanna acknowledged walking through the kitchen and into the living room. The living room was small, with one couch facing a small TV that hung on the opposite wall. Lisanna unlocked the door anxious to see who it was. 'Could it be Natsu and Lucy' she wondered opening the light wooden door.

"Natsu!" Lisanna almost cried throwing herself at him, catching him off balance. She was so relieved that he had returned, he had her scared for a moment. "Where's Lucy?" She asked, when she realized that Lucy wasn't there, which is unusually because of the fact that they can't be separated. Lisanna saw the sudden sadness in his eyes, and it was then that she realized that he had been crying. 'It must be bad' she thought Natsu hardly cries. "It's okay" Lisanna said pulling him into a hug, she looked behind her shoulder to see if Akahana was there, and she became relieved when she wasn't.

"I'm sorry" Natsu said pulling away after a few seconds

"Why don't you come inside I am about to make diner, besides you really shouldn't be alone" Lisanna offered.

"That would be great" Natsu said, wiping tears from his eyes. Lisanna stepped aside to let Natsu through the door way into the warm and inviting living room. "You still have those?" Natsu asked shocked, walking over to the fire place where pictures were placed delicately on the mantel. He picked up one of Lisanna and him as a child, with happy in the background.

"Yes, I found it just recently" Lisanna smiled before walking through the empty doorway and into the kitchen. Natsu couldn't believe his eye's the picture brought the memory of the day he almost lost Lisanna and how he promised he will always find her, this brought back the memory of how he made the same promise to Lucy, in in his wedding vows.

"Daddy!" A soft voice said running towards him giving him a big hug.

"Akahana!" Natsu said picking her up to give the small kid a hug, pulling himself from his memories. He wanted to cry at the sight of his daughter's big blue eyes' 'oh how they look so much like Lucy's' he thought.

"Where's Mommy?" Akahana asked, happy that her parents are home.

'Should I tell her?' Natsu wondered, she will find out eventually he reasoned, but then came to the conclusion that he should give her just one day of happiness. "She, she is out running some last minute chores" He replied when he realized that his daughter was still waiting for a response.

"Okay" Akahana said wriggling out of her daddy's arms, her pink ponytail flopping every which way. Natsu put her down.

"What's wrong daddy?" Akahana asked looking up at Natsu. Natsu smiled, inquisitive just like her mother he thought.

"Oh I am just tiered that's all" Natsu replied pausing for a second before suggesting "let's see if we can help Miss Lisanna with anything okay?" Natsu took Akahana's hands without leaving time for the child to respond. All Natsu wanted to do was change the subject and that gave the perfect out, and he became relieved for the change of topic. Natsu realized that he is going to do that a lot tonight and he knew that that will not be easy that's for sure.

"Could you watch Akahana for a little bit there is a few things I have to do" Natsu said when he realized that he should probably tell his guild mates the news about Lucy's death.

"No problem just don't be out too late okay?" Lisanna said, gratefully Natsu bolted out the door leaving poor Akahana wondering where her dad went. Natsu ran to the guild hall and burst through the doors causing all eyes to turn on him. He ignored all the glares and went over to take the seat by the bar.

"What can I get for you Natsu?" Mira-Jane asked

"Some saki would be nice" Natsu said trying to get his mind off the painful memory of Lucy

"May I ask what's wrong?" Mira-Jane said coming back with a small glass of the rice wine. "You just look horrible." Mira-Jane continued putting the glass down in front of Natsu.

"Luce is dead" Natsu said the words choking in his throat as he fought the urge to cry

"Why do you care if that blond bimbo is dead we are all better off with out her." Gajeel said scooting closer to Natsu at the bar. rage spread through every ounce of Natsu's body , causing him to clench his fist.

"How would you like it if some one took Levi away from you forever" Natsu spat back turning to face the steel dragon slayer, prepared for a fight.

"Pyro I swear if you touch a single blue strand on the shrimps head you are going to be really sorry" Gajeel said defensively his fist now curled up as well prepared to defend Levy.

"And yet you claim that you two are just friends." Natsu muttered under his breath taking a sip of saki.

"What did you say!?" Gajeel asked loudly, Mira chuckled and stepped in-between the two dragon slayers

"As guild master and resident bar tender I will have to ask you two to stop bickering" Mira-Jane said turning to Gajeel she continued "You were out of line with that comment, Gajeel apologize" Before Gajeel had a chance to say something Natsu laughed, causing Mira-Jane to turn on her heals to face Natsu, "And you Natsu I understand you must be hurting really bad right now but you too need to apologize."

"What for?" Natsu said getting the I did nothing wrong tone that all children get when they are guilty.

"For threatening Levy" Mira-Jane informed. Gajeel and Natsu looked at each other, with terror in there eyes, and fearing Mira-Jane's wrath they both apologized. Neither of them dared to saw another word afterwards leaving them with nothing but there thoughts. 'Maybe I do like Levy, More then just a friend' Gajeel thought taking a sip of his drink. 'maybe'
