Crimson Light by Murakami Yumi

Chapter 1

Lucy was walking down the road heading home when suddenly a group of men surrounded her. It was past 6 and she was terrified for she knew that a notorious gang of rapists were on the loose….the one they called "fable". They cut the head of their victim and dump them near a river or make them their personal slaves. Lucy was so scared as one of them pinned her to a wall.

"Hey lax! What do we do to this chick? She's quite a cutey" A man with long brown hair said

"Hmmm... rape her of course Aizen" the man they called lax said

"Sounds good to me" A man with pink hair said.

"Whoa there Natsu! This chick is mine you raped the last one." Aizen said

"Fine then" Natsu said

As they were about to rape the innocent Lucy

A dark figure started to beat the rapist gang up.

All Lucy saw was a boy standing on the opposite side of her. All she could see was a spiky blonde hair and a red coat.

"Don't you people have any shame? Raping an innocent school girl? You humans are so disgusting" he said as he picked Lucy up. "Are you okay?" he asked his eyes glowing red. Bella just nodded and looked at the boy's serene facial expression. "Your ankle is sprained….."He murmured. He kissed her ankle and it began to heal. "There…."he smiled at her and carried her to the front of her house and said good bye. Instantly Lucy fell in love with her vampire savior….

Every now and then Lucy would dream of the boy…

The next morning….

"Honey, are you okay?" Lucy's mother asked

"Yeah" Lucy replied "and then again maybe not" She thought

"You sure? Because you went home with a terrified expression..." Her mother pressed

Lucy remembered what happened … It still gave her the chills

"Etto….mom I really have to go…" she kissed her mom and left

It was the first day of school….And it was the start of her life as a Jr. Raira International School …. The peaceful school life that she wants….. Would be shattered here~

"Hayo Luchi…" Mira coldly greeted her

"Ohayo Lucy!" Ezra said… Cheerful as always

"Ohayo Mira and Erza" she greeted them and smiled the not-in-a-very-good-mood-smile

"What happened to you Luchi?" Mira asked

Lucy told them what happened that night

"So there was a blonde guy with glowy red eyes who saved you…."Mira said 'Damn! I really hate blondes' she thought

"Oh….there was a cute blonde boy who saved you! Wow…. I'm bored… Mira I want ice cream!" Ezra said

Mira said "Fine let's go….bye Lucy"

Mira and Erza are sisters…They are always together and they are Lucy's closest friends

After they left Lucy decided to go to the class room and took a seat

…the teacher came in….

"Just in time"' she thought

"Ohayo minna!" Sensei said cheerfully

The all the stood up to give respect to their teacher

"Ohayo Sensei" All the students said

"Today I will introduce a transfer student from London" She said excitedly

Lucy was dumbstruck… She saw an angel….An angel that fell from the sky…..

The angel faced boy looked at everyone in the class…

"Um….. I'm Kenneth 'Keith' Clay…..I hope we'll get along well" He murmured quietly…

Then she noticed that he was only talking to her… in a sense….he was only looking at her…

"Maybe it's just my ego!" She thought

There was something about the way he stared at her…It's like he knew her for a very long time

…..I took her a minute to realize that the crowd went wild…..mesmerized as she was...

"Wow!He's really a cutie! "Said a girl beside her

"Look at his blue eyes…he looks so gentle so angelic..." she heard the girl from the back say

Lucy wasn't able to resist the urge to stare at the boy once more…and to her surprise he was still looking at her …. When their eyes met he smiled at her sweetly…..

"Lucy!" The teacher called…

"Yes?" I asked

"You will be the one to show him around and explain everything to him" He said in firm conviction "and he will be sitting beside you…"he added

"Umm….okay…"I mumbled ….I mean…. what else can I do?

After a few hours … the long awaited lunch break came!At last! At last! She almost jumped out of shock when someone lightly pulled her shirt and when she looked around she saw him….one of the missing puzzle pieces of the unfinished memory...

"Etto… can you lead the way to the cafeteria. Please?" he said in a small voice

"Umm...sure" I kind of mumbled … and why was I blushing?

…I went out the room with him on my flank. It was really sort of awkward

The cafeteria was full as ever ….. He was behind me

…There was only one word to describe the feeling….

Awkward

"Umm…so what do you want to eat?" I asked him

…And then he noticed the students pushing each other…

"Miss Lucy ... Can you tell me what's going on there?" He pointed the wild side of the cafeteria…

"Oh…that's where we buy yakisoba bread….do you want one?"

He looked alarmed

"But Miss …. It's too dangerous for you ….maybe I should go" There was an edge to his voice

I giggled "You just stay here and watch." I said

I walked toward the crowd...

"Everybody! Behave yourselves!" I shouted in a voice full of authority

They heard the voice of their president and made an aisle for her

"Thank you" she said to everyone "two please" and the when the salesman gave it to her … (she paid of course) she walked away quickly …..

When she was out of sight …. The students went wild …again

"Here ya go!" she gave Keith the yakisoba bread

And he stared at her for about a minute or two...

"You're the student council president?" he asked interest glowing in his eyes

"Umm... yeah…well now let's go sit with my friends" she answered while flushing a little bit

She towed him by the arm….until…they stopped to a table in the far end of the cafeteria

"Yo! Luchi" Erza greeted her. And then Erza's reaction changed

I didn't see it coming ….

"Yo Keith …. It's been a long time" Mira snarled thru her clenched teeth "damn it's Keith!" she thought

"Keith-kun how have you been?" Erza said calmly not like Mira …she looked like she wanted to rip Keith into pieces …which in a way

"So….all of you knows each other or something?" I asked

"Yeah you could say that" Mira answered glaring at her food

"Hmm….fascinating" I murmured to myself "but how did that happen

They chatted and chatted all of them except Mira….. Who played with her food until the end of lunch

….And for the love of all that's holy at last! She talked to us after school….

"Erza…Lucy… go ahead without me" she ordered

"Sure just take care of yourself" I said

"Bye..." Erza said

And we went to my house

Mira was walking down the park…when she encountered the gang FABLE

"Hey! Lax look there's a hot chick over there..." Natsu sounded almost gibberish

"Whoa she IS hot" Aizen agreed

"Maybe we shouldn't do this" Lax whispered to himself

"What? Did you say something lax?" Natsu asked

"Nothing" he mumbled

"Let's do it…" aizen said

As they were approaching Mira … something impossible happened ….

With just a blink of an eye all of them were on the ground bleeding…..

And then she encountered Keith ….. "Mira..." Keith mumbled

"What do you want? What do you need from Lucy!" she screamed at him "Aren't you satisfied that you almost killed Erza!" she added with a feral snarl…

"I mean her no harm….. I just need to hover around her. For she is too important to lose" he said those word with a double edged smile

…..what mysterious a guy

That Keith is….
