Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail. This story was made for fun, and not for cash. (How unfortunate.)
Notes: Even though this story is Rated T for teenagers, I might change it to M-rated. It just depends on my ideas for certain chapters. This story includes straight and yuri pairings, just so you know. Anyway, enjoy!
For the last three weeks, Lucy was forced to go on missions alone. Lisanna Strauss had finally returned to Earth from Edolas, and she had some catching up to do with the other members of Team Natsu. Everyone in the guild gave their attention to Lisanna, and ignored Lucy. The Celestial Spirit Mage wasn't infuriated about it, because she knew that she'd have one thing Lisanna didn't have. A lover named Natsu Dragneel.
Lucy and Natsu had been dating for a month now, and she normally kicked Natsu out of her bathtub, but she would gladly let him sleep in the same bed with her. Lucy liked Natsu's warm body heat, especially during the wintertime, and Natsu liked how Lucy's body felt so soft when he was snuggled up against her. She smelled strongly of vanilla shampoo, and Lucy would let dessert get all over her face for Natsu to lick it off and taste how sweet it was.
However, what happened next was sure to put a halt to their relationship. Even though she sat at a table far from the bar, Lucy could hear the conversation going on between the other members of Team Natsu.
"No, Lucy's not that important to our team. Out of all of us, she's the weakest one in the group." Natsu said with an honest look on his face. He didn't like to keep things bottled up, and he felt like he needed to say it.
"I completely agree with you for once. We always do most of the work, while Lucy lets her spirits do the fighting for her. We definitely don't need her in next year's Grand Magic Games, that's for sure." Gray replied to Natsu, with a kind look on his face.
Lucy clenched her fists in sheer anger because of what her friends had just said. Then again, they were somewhat correct. Lucy had volunteered for all the events that occurred in that five day span and she got last place in all of them! It's not her fault she had so much confidence, but skill was a completely different thing. At the end of it all, Fairy Tail got 6th place. Pathetic, isn't it?
"That's somewhat harsh on her, don't you think? Besides, what if we're one person short for a team next year? We might need Lucy. It's just like playing chess. All the pieces are needed, right?" Wendy told Natsu sweetly, as she noticed Lucy on the corner of her right eye.
"What if you had a piece that was totally useless and futile? It would be the same thing as having one less team member. Until she tries harder on her own, Lucy doesn't deserve to be here." Erza responded sternly, in contrast to Wendy's statement.
Tears slowly welled up in Lucy's eyes, as she heard what her friends were saying. She felt saddened, angry, betrayed, and manipulated. Her friends actually thought she was weighing down the team. Had she truly been just a replacement for Lisanna, who had been gone? All this time, had Team Natsu really not cared that much for her? All this emotional pain gave Lucy a slight headache, and she felt like she was hanging by her last strand of calmness.
The next bad remark that she heard would probably make Lucy go insane, and all the pain she had recently felt was slowly beginning to amplify inside her heart.
Lisanna sat down next to Natsu, who gently held her hand in his. Before Lisanna went missing, she had been dating Natsu for five months. They certainly had some chemistry, because Lisanna blushed while looking into Natsu's eyes.
"I missed you so much, Lisanna. No other girl in this guild matches your beauty, and I was wondering if we could start back from where we left off. Also, you make the best food that I've ever tasted. Your bed is so comfortable, as if it was a cloud. If it was, you're definitely an angel." Natsu explained while happily smiling at the blushing Lisanna.
"Thank you, Natsu. I'm glad to see you again." She replied kindly.
What happened next made Lucy feel shock, anger, pain, and sadness all over. The feelings of love and affection that Natsu had for Lisanna finally came out in the form of a passionate kiss, as the fire dragon slayer gently pressed his lips against Lisanna's, causing her to kiss back because of how Natsu's lips felt so very warm and sweet.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Lucy exclaimed loudly in anger, as she saw Natsu kissing Lisanna. The other guild members had turned their attention to Lucy, and Levy looked up from a book she was reading because this seemed way more interesting.
Lucy stomped over to where Team Natsu was sitting at the bar, and she slammed all the beer mugs on to the floor with a quick wave of her arm. Then, Lucy furiously threw a table at the wall. As it shattered in pieces, the other guild members blankly stared at her.
"I think of you fucking assholes as friends, and you talk shit about me?! I'm useless to you! I'm just a replacement for your princess over here?!" Lucy angrily shouted, while breathing heavily and viciously clenching her fists.
"We just speak the truth, Lucy. At least Wendy earned five points in the Grand Magic Games. You pretty much let us down, when Flare and Minerva were beating you down. You only got pushed out of the Naval Battle first to let the real fights begin." Erza explained bluntly, while glaring back at Lucy. Not only had she knocked over the beer mugs, but Erza gave her a glare that said, 'Don't hurt that strawberry cake, or I'll kill you.'
"Shut the hell up, you fucking bitch! I don't have any dealings with you right now! Natsu, you ungrateful manwhore! I do so much for you, and you treat me like I'm a piece of shit?! I hate you! You pretended to be my friend, but you were manipulating me! I can't believe you would see me as a replacement for Lisanna! We're through, Natsu! You broke my heart forever, because you're a stupid asshole! I'm sure you'll leave Lisanna, and date some slutty skank!" Lucy yelled harshly at the top of her lungs, and Gray covered Wendy's ears to not let her ears be exposed to so much profanity.
"Bunny-girl, don't refer to yourself. Natsu just didn't want someone who uses sex appeal as a weapon, instead of an actual weapon. Instead of yelling about people calling you weak, do some training. It'll hurt you, and it won't deafen everyone else's ears." Gajeel explained, as he looked annoyed.
Because of his strength, Lucy ignored Gajeel and angrily stomped her way upstairs to Makarov's office. She couldn't take it anymore. Lucy thought things would get worse for her, so she pursued the only option.
Lucy strode up to Makarov, and slammed her palm down on to his desk. Makarov instantly knew what Lucy wanted, having heard everything that happened downstairs.
"I shall remove your guild mark, my child. It was a pleasure to have you as a part of my guild, and please promise to not reveal any sensitive information to the other guilds." He explained calmly, as he folded his arms.
Makarov gently rubbed the back of Lucy's right hand, and her pink guild mark was instantly gone. Lucy thanked him, and she stomped back downstairs. Some people steered clear of her, fearing her volatile temper. Lucy strode over to Natsu, grabbed him by his neck with her left hand, and placed the back of her right hand in front of his face.
"What am I supposed to be looking at?" Natsu managed to utter, as Lucy used her left hand to squeeze harshly on his neck. Natsu felt the intense pain from Lucy's strong grip, and he was gasping for air.
"You finally notice something wrong, you dimwitted bastard! My guild mark is gone, so now you can go cuddle with Lisanna and have the strong team you want! I'll be far away from you, not giving a fuck!" Lucy exclaimed angrily, as she clenched her fists and continued her heavy breathing. A look of rage had formed on her face, and she turned to Lisanna. The younger Strauss sister closed her eyes, in fear that she might get hit.
Instead, she was surprised along with the other members to see Lucy walk out of the doors of Fairy Tail and shut them with an angry slam.
"On this day, Rage Magic had finally been created by a weak bunny girl known as Lucy. It involves yelling, bitching, and stomping after crying alone at a table." Gajeel said calmly, to break the sudden silence.
"Seriously?!" Lucy exclaimed with an angry facial expression, as she opened the doors and slammed them hard once again. The only difference this time was that one of the doors was slightly ripped from its hinges. Lucy walked back to her apartment in the pouring rain, under the cold gray sky, and she promised herself that she would leave Fairy Tail forever.
