Lisanna is back, Team Natsu fall out with Lisanna, Lucy protects Lisanna as a friend but is still in Team Natsu."If this is to work no-one must know you are a Fairy Tail Mage, I must remove your stamp"
Chapter 1 ~ Serious
blond hair tied into a side pony, wearing a blue cheerleaders outfit and brown combat boots with a whip attatched to one side and small pack of keys attatched to her other side walked into one of Fiores strongest guilds known as Fairy Tail, it was this place she called home and her family like friends, Nakama where at. As the blond named Lucy opened her guilds doors she didn't find her cheerful, loud guild fighting other nothing, getting drunk, or quest hunting their was no air of cheerfulness either, and lucy could only expect that something big had happend, automatically she looked for her Guild Master, Makarov to give an explanation forgetting that he had said he'd be at a council meeting of the guilds today. finding no Makarov she looked for the source of the thick tension, her eyes landing on her team who looked at her as if she came in at an awkward time. Lisana who had recently came back from edolas took a look at her then left the room quickly, she had been acting strangely recently and had yet to tell her why, but currently the guilty expression from her team spoke their envolvement causing her stomach to clench with sickening disgust. Lucy walked through the guild throwing a dissapointed look at her team before stopping by her friends Mira Chan and Levy Chan who both looked shocked and close to tears, lucy put her hand on Mirajanes shoulder before heading to the back room after Lisana.
"lisana Chan?" she spoke as she opened the door keeping her tone calm and gentle at the situations hand, Lisana quickly wiped her face and began to tidy the room "Lucy Chan, I..." she began turning to look at her with a forced smile as if nothing was wrong Lucy wasn't sure what had been happening behind her back, and she really didn't want to know so she didn't become biased, but at the same time she couldn't stand by and watch her Nakama torture each other emotionally.
Lucy grabbed hold of Lisana by the wrist and pulled her into a soft embrace startling Lisana who dropped the random item she was sorting. "Are you okay?" one of lucys' hands found it's way to lisanas' cheek and wiped away tears that had started to come through, her other hand tightened around the girls waist to stop her trembling, while said girl put her hands around lucy's neck letting her tears flow. "Lu..I.I..." "shhh, it's okay, i'm here" Lucy chanted soothingly while rocking her dear friend from side to side. they stayed like that for what seemed a while even after her tears stopped, in realising the seriousness of the matter from how much their clothes were now soaked, lucy ever waiting for Lisana to be calm enough to make a motion that she was ready to settle and tell her in her own time what had been happening so she had a good reason to knock her team stupid, like she'd ever do much damage but still it would get her message across hopefully. no that she thought of it, the team hadn't popped by her house ever since Lisana started coming over, sometimes sleeping over.
After some time Lisana put her hands on lucys' arms, in return lucys' hands that were tracing circles on her back to soothe her and relax her muscles came to a halt, Lucy moved her head from atop of Lisanas to look at girls face, Lisana moving back a little to get some air into her lungs, Lisana nodded and lucy sat here down on a crate before exiting the room.
Lucy took in the state of the main room, Team Natsu having gone, and although still quiet the guild had started returning to normal, Makarov sat on the bar next to Mirajane who was pouring him a drink, Lucy took a deep breath before heading over, Mira Chan seemed to be about to ask Lucy a question , but Makarov spoke first "Has she calmed down now?." "mostly, i figure she's tired now and she's probably a little dizzy and i suspect she has headache which wouldn't surprise me." Mirajane nodded, rooting for something and then getting a glass of water, "i'll go take care of her" Mira said before taking the items with her for suspected for her sister. Lucy looked back to Makarov who was looking at her seriously. "We need to talk" he then looked at the rest of the guild "in private." Lucy simply nodded and followed her master as he jumped of the barside and headed to his room. Once in said room Makarov put an enchantment over the room to stop anyone from eaves dropping on what was said, Lucy could only suspect that this was more serious than she imagined. "Lucy i know that you are busy with trying to keep rent and then the problem with team Natsu and Lisana that keeps biting, but i need you to go on a mission"
*time warp*
Grim eyes looked straight into Grim eyes, both of which were exhausted from the news spoken and recived. "i know what i'm asking you to do is hard Lucy, but i believe that only you can do this"
some of lucys' hair got in front of her eyes "no, it's fine, i understand" she pushed the locks away, and gave her signiture smile with determined eyes "if it helps the guild then this is the best thing to do." Makarov nodded slowly a small sad smile etched upon his face, he took out a wide but thin box from his desk in his room and gave it to Lucy who in turn nodded and opened it.
"Okay 1st item is a Compass and a map, we don't want you getting lost now do we?" Lucy just laughed "when opening it theres a few places marked that may be of interest to you on your way there. Underneath that is a charm bracelet the heart is a reminder that no matter how or in what form you become stronger, make sure that your heart also remains strong. The pair of open hands are to represent acceptance of oppertunities, and careful gesture. The sheild represents undying loyalty, remain true to your cause, and to help those who require it. The cross in a square is a symbol of good health, but you already know that since it's on your first aid box. The one of our fairy tail logo is a reminder that even though we are not by your side we are Nakama and you are forever in our oomph..." Lucy was half across the table wrapped tightly around the small old man "thank you and i won't fail you"
Makarov hugged lucy back before she suddenly let go with a gasp "i need to pack" Lucy got up and was about to leave when Makarov called her back "Lucy theres one more thing"
Lucy sat back in her chair curiosity written all over her face "the rest of the guild, if this is to work no-one must know you are a Fairy Tail Mage, i must remove your stamp" Lucys' expression turned doleful for a second as she looked at her hand her face then went mobile, Makarov couldn't make out what expressions they were but was even more suprised at the expression she settled on.
Humour. Lucy held out here hand"go ahead" her tone, face, eyes her entire being held that single emotion, Humour. she laughed a little at the quizzical face she got from Makarov "it's fine, i'll be coming back eventually right, it's only for a few years" understanding dawned on him and he mentally kicked himself for thinking that she was willing to leave fairy tail so happily. Lucy always cared for her Nakama and got upset when she couldn't do anything to help them, but she'd still try, to her this was her chance, and it would also give her team time to settle their problem with Lisana, they should have long since reconciled when she got back from whatever their dispute was about anyway.
Makarov placed a finger on lucys' hand and began to trace the outline of the mark before placing his hand ontop of hers, no sooner was their a glow and slight sting was both gone, Makarov moved his hand away revealing that the mark of Fairy Tail had gone, then there was a cover story they had to plan, they decided that writers block and boredom was the best although not the best idea, was the best they could think of at such short notice and that she had decided to travel the world for a source of inspiration despite this she figured her Nakama wouldn't buy it so easily so they decided he'd tell them and she'd write a letter of confirmation in that if Makarov hadn't told them yet then she could through the letter."i may not be able to contact much, but i'll try to keep you updated on my status." was Lucys' last words before Makarov raised his hand in a sign he'd always be watching over her, she remembered the sign as from the Fantasia festival when Laxus had left, she raised her hand in the same symbol and then left the room, Lisana had came from the storage room and was now talking happily with Levi, Mira, Cana, Elfman, and a somewhat unsure Juvia, probably fretting over her friends or her love for Gray, but after a few seconds seemed to calm down talking happily and then fret again. in another part of the room Bickslow, Freed, evergreen. in another were wendy, carla, surprisingly happy, pantherlilly, gajeel, Gildarts and Reedus, and finnaly Jet and Droy who were seemingly drinking with a few others, but enough of that, there was no time for dilly dallying.
Clutching the box of items to her chest lucy walked out of the door heading first to the landlady to discuss rent, and deal with her furniture and the likes, she then headed back to her place to pack neccesities and leave a note for her guildmates describing the made up reason she and Makarov had settled from, doubt that they would buy it creeping up on her at the lack of creativity despite her being an author, but that could reflect on how stumped she was with creative ideas right?
a knock at her door causd her to quickly hide the note and nock her bag into a random corner out of the way to look subtle, going to the door, she patted herself down making herself look presentable upon opening the door however was her three awkward looking team mates, Gray Fullbuster, Natsu Dragneel and Erza Scarlet, and they did NOT look happy.
word from Raicheda
i do not own fairy tail or any of it's characters
any OC's made in this are randomly made of the top of my head to suit scenarios
if a character seems OOC it's probably because i stopped reading and watching from the several year time skip that and my views on characters can be pretty harsh.
i'm not a fan of lisanna ruins lucys' life but i do like lucy leaves for awhile becoming stronger, for whatever reason.
i started this story after reading
6 versions of lucy is kicked off the team and leaves the guild most involving lisanna
2 on lucy leaves and falls for laxus,
1 lucy leaves but gray is with her,
and a Lucy leaves because of a deadly illness written by Mrs. HopeEstheim called Until She's Home Again - i do reccomend reading this fanfiction, it is deep and one of my most Favorited stories in the Fairy Tail Fanfiction category
i dont like Lisanna but i don't dislike her either so shoot me
yes for those of you curious i am continuing my D gray man fanfics and if i dont receive my external hard drive back soon then i'll just rewrite the chapters that were on there as much to as they were like as possible.
for those of you who wish to know what lucys mission is or whats with lisanna and team natsu all will be revealed in later chapters.
