Useless, pathetic, wimp... The words kept going round Lucy's head as she silently made her way behind Natsu to the guild. She had tried going on a solo mission as she needed some money to pay of her rent for the month. It was an easy task and just as she was wrapping things up there had been a gunfire from behind. She had turned around to find three muscular men twice her size!

*Flashback*

"Why hello there pretty lady" One of them with bright blonde hair, a tattoo on his right shoulder and tanned skin smirked at her. They were all wearing ripped trousers and black tops with the name Maniacs written in bold red scrawled across them. (A/N Idek)

"Err w-who are you"

"Oh we just happen to be passing by and see a cutie like yourself all alone in these woods."

Lucy sighed. Curse her feminine appeal, could she not go some place without some pervert trying to chat her up!?

"Listen I should be going"

"Hold it there blondie" Another with shaggy green hair that flopped over his eyes turned to her and grabbed her wrist yanking her towards him.

"Let-go-of-me" Lucy said gritting her teeth and trying to shake the rough hand off of her. Suddenly one grabbed her bag of her, the one that held her celestrial keys in there.

"Oi give that back" She cried out.

Looking down at the bag a guy with red gelled back hair and a scar on his face opened it and rummaged around a bit until his eyes focused on somthing and then lit up. He dug his hand in and took out a small token of money (the money she had earned from her job).

"OOoo lil rich girl ey" He laughed before pocketing the bunch. Lucy turned and kicked the guy who had held her in the place that is not to be mentioned and freed her hand from his grasp. Her hand turned to her side and she took out his whip ready to lash it out.

"Give it back to me I don't wanna hurt you"

The guys looked at her, then at each other and then turned around to face her again. "BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHA" They all laughed around on the floor tears descending from there eyes in hysterics. Lucy looked at the confused from a moment but then saw her cance as she reached out for her bag that was now sitting forgotten on the ground. Seeing what she was doing the men reacted instantly and grabbed her arm. With another hand they closed of her mouth from any oxygen in the air that surrounded them.

"Your a little bitch ain't you" The blonde one sneered as he cupped her face with his stubby fingers and leaned in. (A/N I love the word stubby heh) "Now you know what we do to little bitches like yourself"

"Let her go."

The man let her go harshly and so did the other two, surprised at this new arrival. Falling to the ground with a thump Lucy managed to turn around curios to see who had saved her. Natsu. A smile crept over her face as she saw him with Happy hanging on to his back standing there. His eyes were under his bangs and a deathly aura was surrounding him. His hands set into fists of fire as he took a slowly step towards them. The men quivered at his sight and began to back out. BAM. Natsu had punched out the redhead in the blink of an eye who was now laying unconscious on the ground. He turned to face the other two raising his fists before there faces.

"You guys lay a finger on Luce and I'll personally kill you both"

"A-Aye sir" They stuttered before picking up there boss and sprinting away. Natsu's gaze softened as he turned over to Lucy who was still sat on the floor.

"You okay"

*End of flashback*

Tears rolled down her cheeks, Why was she so useless.. if it wasn't for Natsu or the others to come save her all the time she would be as good as dead by now. Natsu turned around in front of her and saw his best friend with tears cascading down her cheeks. The colour drained from his face. What had he done now? Was it because him and Happy ate her last piece of leftover chicken curry last night when she wasn't looking?

"Luce what's wrong" He asked in a worried tone.

"Your always saving me Natsu" She replied her voice quite. Natsu was confused Wasn't that a good thing?! "Natsu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm not as strong as you and I always let you down on a mission and that you always have to save me"

Stopping in his tracks he slowly turned around to face her and rested both his hands on her shoulders and sighed. "Luce I'm always here to save you no matter what, even if you don't want me to save you I've got your back..that's why were partners and you never let me down"

Glancing up into those onyx eyes she bit her lip as some part of her melted away.

"B-but Yukino she's a celestrial wizard like me yet she knows how to combat fight a-and-"

Natsu's face let out into a humongous grin as he watched her ramble on. Seeing the expression on his face Lucy looked up a confused pout on her face. "So this is about beating Yukino huh?" He laughed at her blushing.

"N-no its just that I-"

"Listen I haven't trained since the grande magic games and I need a bit of adventure so how bout we go training together huh"

"Training?"

"Hey great idea, okay lets go training ..hmm how bout a week in the mountains"

"A week?" She squeaked

"You said it not me" He laughed as he strolled down to the guild "I'll tell Happy to get ready..see you tomorrow"

Lucy stood by the canal the wind blowing in her hair awestruck. She was going to spend a week in the mountains with this idiot...sighing she smiled to herself. This was going to be interesting!
