Flaming Key of Light
Chapter 1: Alone
(Lucy's POV)
I woke up from a nice sleep to the idea of having someone next to me, but I knew that will never happen. "Oh well, that was a let down." I whispered to myself as I yawned from exhaustion. I looked at the clock. It's 8:30 a.m.! We just got back from a mission at 3:15. After I realized that I only slept for 5 hours I didn't really feel like going to the guild so I just gave myself another hour of sleep. As I was sleeping I saw myself holding someone's hand, but it was a back view. The guy was tall and had short spikey blonde hair. I watched as he leaned forward to kiss me on the cheek and he succeeded. It honestly shocked me that I would let a guy do that, but I liked the sight of it. After that all I saw was light and heard a guy's voice say "Why is she still sleepin', I'm HUNGERY!" and another, of a women's say "Shut up she's asleep, she must be exhausted." I started to shake angrily and clenched my fist. "See what you did flame brain, your waking her up!" "Oh put some clothes on stripper on ice!" "Quiet, the both of you" BAM! When I realized EXACTLY who was in my room I quickly got up and opened my eyes to see Gray and Natsu on the floor and a ticked off Erza staring at them as they quivered in fear. At that moment I thought where's Happy? My question was answered when I saw the blue exceed coming out of my kitchen with a fish hovering over Natsu worrying saying "Natsu are you OK!" Everyone was just in chaos so I just hopped in the shower. They didn't seem to notice until Happy said "Where'd Lucy go!" followed by a "Yeah I'm HUNGRY" by Natsu.
(Gray's POV)
Ugh my head hurts like HELL. I'm gonna get that flame head for that later. AS if my life couldn't get any better Happy screams "Where'd Lucy go!" It got all quit when we heard the water running in the bathroom and her humming. They looked at me. Erza broke the silence and said "I did it last time Gray." "Why can't Natsu do it!" I whined. "Cause I did it before Erza!" I looked at Happy with pleading eyes. "Sorry Gray but I'm a cat." Said Happy. "That doesn't matter!" I yelled. " She won't listen from the door and she needs to know that we're going to the guild to comfort Lisanna after Natsu breaks up with her and how "break up" goes down" said Erza. "HEY! This isn't gonna be a show! I haven't even figured out the right words to say yet…" said Natsu. "Why can't we just wait till she gets OUT the shower!" I said "Because if she doesn't know she'll take an hour to get ready!" said Erza. "UGH! Fine." I walked to the her bathroom and knocked on her door. No answer. Why does she have to be so stubborn! I slowly opened the door and went in. She probably didn't hear the door open. This is gonna be bad…
(Happy's POV)
Oooooohhhh! She didn't hear the door open. Gray's gonna get it bad!
(Natsu's POV)
So Lucy didn't hear the ice popsicle go in. I hope he doesn't try to peek at her. He's taking too long... THAT BASTARD! I don't know what came over me but my hands Instantly turned to flames. Erza started looking at me weird. "Natsu…" she said under her breath but I still heard her. I instantly walked up to the door and busted it open…
(Gray's POV)
I so don't deserve this right now. It's sooo hot in here. Why couldn't she take a cold shower. I looked down to see myself only in my boxers. Damn that stripping habit! As I made my way to the tub I stopped to clear my throat and brace myself. Right when I was about to speak the door busted open with Natsu saying the magic words. "Gray you PERVERT! Get out of Lucy's bathroom!" I heard Lucy scream then I felt a wet foot bashing me in the face. I don't get paid enough for this.
(Lucy's POV)
What the heck they could've just told me BEFORE I got in the shower. BUT I forgot all about that and instantly thought about Lisanna. I turned to Natsu. "Why do you want to break up with Lisanna?" I asked with a bit of sadness in voice. "I like Lisanna as a sister. And besides I like someone else…" he trailed off and didn't look at me to hide the blush. It CAN'T be me! And plus it would crush Lisanna to pieces. "OK…" I replied. This is going to be a tough situation. When Gray finally got himself together we went to the guild to find Lisanna by a tree looking up at the sky. Natsu suggested we wait in the guild until he walks inside. Then he's just gonna leave with Gray. Then we went into the guild while Natsu stayed behind to "talk" with Lisanna. "What do you think he's gonna say?" Gray asked. "I don't know but I hope Lisanna can take it." I said sadly. "And if he says the wrong things to her he's basically going to die." Erza said calmly. That didn't sound so good to me.
(Natsu's POV)
I saw Lisanna spot me and she smiled and beckoned her hand for me to come. As I walked to her I was thinking of ways to let her down easy. But we're talking about LISANNA here!. Ugh Erza's gonna kill me and shit on my grave. When I met up with Lisanna she tried to kiss me but I turned my head so she can miss my lips. She noticed right away and asked "What's wrong Natsu?" "Lisanna… I… Can't do this anymore." She looked confused. "What do you mean Natsu?" "Lisanna… I can't be with you." She looked so hurt. "Don't get me wrong I love you… But I just love you as a sister… I'm So-" she looked away from me and interuped me "Is it Lucy…" in a cracked tone. I saw tears run down her cheeks. " I see the way you look at her, the way you protect her from others" "Lisanna-" "Just stop… I don't care." And she walked away into the guild and went up to Lucy. She hugged her…
(Lucy's Pov)
I was drinking a milkshake until I felt arms around me. I saw silver hair from the corner of my eye. It was Lisanna. "Can I please talk to you" She said. That as Gray's time to leave. She led me to the kitchen and some girls followed. Mira was talking to her brother Elfman but decided to go into the kitchen. When Elfman followed she said "Elfman this is girl talk." "Girl talk is MAN!" "Please Elfman this is important" "Fine whatever." He said and walked away and Mira walked into the kitchen. When we were all in the kitchen Lisanna fell into my arms and cried "He loves you more than me!" Just then I thought about the way he said "I like someone else…" and blushed. Oh god please help me. I looked down at Lisanna so our eyes met. "That can't be true-" "Yes it is! When I asked him he didn't answer but I saw the look in his eyes when I asked!" I couldn't think of anything to say. All I could say was "Lisanna." She looked deep into my eyes and said " If you end up with Natsu, please just don't lose hime or you'll end up like me." She cried. All I could do was hug her. "Can I stay with you till I'm better." She said between sobs. I agreed and since then she moved in with me…
