Spirits of The Colorful Sky

Lucy's POV

Chapter one: Mom?

I was on my way to the guild when suddenly I felt a different aura somewhere around me. I came to an abrupt stop when I saw a shadow move in my peripheral vision. I jumped down from the railing that separated me from the sidewalk and the river, and clutched my celestial keys, exclaiming loudly. "Who's there!?" The figure moved from the shadows wearing a black hooded cloak.

"I mean you no harm, Lucy." The figure had such an all to familiar feminine voice.

"If you mean me no harm then, please remove you cloak!" I still had my hand on my keys just in case.

She removed her hood along with her whole cloak with her hand to show blonde hair up in a bun with her bangs hanging on each side of her face, doe brown eyes, and a very formal dress. A spitting image of my DEAD mother.

All my defenses went down as I dropped to my knees, my head in my hands as tears flowed aimlessly down my cheeks.

"M-mom. . . Is that y-you?" Curiosity getting the best of me.

"Yes my dear, Lucy," her voice was the same as I remember from all those years ago. "I don't have much long here in the human world right now, but I came here to tell you something very important," I finally looked up at her, the tears still flowing down my cheeks. "What, mother, what's so important? Please tell me!" I rose from the ground and made my way over to her slowly. "I have been informed from the celestial world that there have been more keys floating around many places lately,"

"What do you mean, mom?"

"What I mean is, there have been amazing keys, more powerful than the zodiac spirits!" I let out a gasp, how was that possible!

"They are called the spirits of the colorful sky, they hold the power no other Mage holds. . . they are one of a kind. I have been given the first key, and now I'm going to give it to you. It will help you to your first spirit. At first they will be human until they trust you enough to let you have control over them and let them know your going to be there master. I trust you Lucy, and I love you very much!" She walked towards me placing a key in my shaky grip.

"Mother. . . Please d-don't l-leave m-me! Please!" The tears came faster and harsher then before. "I'm sorry but I- I can't I w-wish I c-could, the first key w-will lead you to y-your first Spirit, don't p-put much thought into or it will b-become even more difficult to f-find them, after you find y-four first spirit, the magic will break and you h-have to find the keys on you own. You will find your keys in order of the rainbow. I love you my dear daughter, I will continue watching over you. . . And Natsu. Goodbye!" Just like that she had disappeared.

"Natsu?" Was the only word that left my mouth.

As if he heard me, I heard his voice, "Lucy?"

I turned my head towards him. "N-natsu!"

He must have seen my tears, because the curious expression on his face turned into pure rage. He raced forward toward me, his body on fire as he stood in front of me.

"Who made you cry!?" When he spoke it was quite scary.

"Natsu, my m-mother was here she spoke to me. . . She gave me this key, I'll explain later. Can you walk me home?" My tears were still falling down my face from the incident. When I looked back up at him the fire that engulfed his body was gone, now he was just staring at me with a million emotions running through his onyx eyes. I started to walk when my feet were lifted off the ground. Natsu had scooped me off the ground holding me bridal style. I looked up at him, he was staring into the distance, I thought back to my mothers words, 'I WILL CONTINUE WATCHING OVER YOU. . . AND NATSU.' Why was she watching over Natsu? It made no sense to me. . .

I hadn't realized I was home already.

We were standing out front of the apartment, I was about to climb out of his grip until he jumped up to the window causing me to release a squeak.

"Natsu!" I screamed once we made it inside.

He quietly put me on the bed before moving over to the couch.

Once he sat he hid his eyes with his bangs. "So what happened, Lucy?" "Well, my mom gave me this key-" I started to explain but I remembered the key my mother gave to me. I quickly looked down to see a purple key. It were like the rest of my key's. How was it anymore powerful? I was interrupted by Natsu.

(1 hour later)

I had finished talking about what had happened earlier this evening, realizing it was already twelve O' clock I got up from my spot on the bed and went to the kitchen. Natsu had stopped moving when I told him about my mother watching over. . . 'Us'.

'I still don't get why she is watching over him' I thought as I started making the tea and ham, cheese, and lettuce sandwiches. Maybe she was watching over him because she knew he meant something to me, so why not Erza, Gray, Wendy, Happy, or everyone else at the guild that I care about?

I finished making the sandwiches and tea and set the table, with the lunch I just made.

"Natsu, you hungry? I just made some sandwiches and tea." I sat down at the table thinking; I knew my mom didn't want me to think of it much but, it was hard not to think of something like that. . .

I was so deep in thought I hadn't noticed Natsu sit in the seat across from me.

"You know, I'm probably more fazed then you are right now?" He finally looked up, his face still the same as mine when I told him ten minuets ago.

"Your right, I'm sorry it's just, really shocking to know your mothers looking over me as well."

"Natsu, I know it's shocking, I just don't understand why she'd watch over just you and me if I care about the others as well?" We stayed in silence for awhile eating and drinking our food.

"Lucy, do you mind if I, um sleep over tonight? Just so we can talk more about this." I let out a small gasp, he never asked to stay over he always said he was staying, or he'd end up in my house somehow in the middle of the night without an explanation.

"Sure, since you asked." I sighed, but I was happy we were going to talk about this further more.

Natsu smiled running to the window jumping out but said thanks before leaving.

{Later That Day}

It was around six O'clock and Natsu still hasn't come back, maybe he decided to stay at his place. I walked into my bathroom striping out of my sailor outfit that I wore today. I stepped into the hot water I started running minutes ago.

The water felt amazing against my skin. I was so deep in thought about everything I forgot about the key my mother gave to me. It was actually pretty. I loved the purple color of it. It may have looked the same as my other celestial keys but but the bottom part was shaped like an ordinary key you could open a door with. I wonder if I'll find my first spirit this week! It would be amazing to find out more about them.

I could always ask Levy to help me?

I washed myself up before stepping out of the bath, unplugging it to let the water drain. I wrapped a white towel around my body walking into my room.

I screamed running back into the bathroom, locking the door in the progress.

Natsu had ended up in my room while I was taking a bath, I guess I was so deep in thought that I didn't hear him come in.

I realized I'd have to go out to get my cloths, it wasn't really much of a problem, I mean he's seen me with a towel on before but some how it felt different.

I unlocked the door and stepped out, walking to my dresser to get my Pj's.

"What's got you so scared, Luce?" I turned to see Natsu sprawled out across my bed. "Really, your asking me that question!? You scared the crap out of me Natsu!" I exclaimed jabbing a finger at him. I turned back around grabbed a pair of Pj's not caring to look at them.

Back in the bathroom I locked the door again, not trusting Natsu.

I unwrapped the towel letting it fall to ground with a quiet thump. I put on my under garments. Then finally looking at the pj's I grabbed.

I almost fainted, these were the ones I got when I went shopping with Mira that one time a month ago. Well it was more like the item. It was a very big long sleeve plaid shirt. The cuffs were rolled up to my wrists and it came down about to my mid thigh, and buttoning all the way up to the base of my neck.

I had no other choice.

I wasn't going to put my dirty towel on the floor back on my clean body and I certainly wasn't going to go out in my under garments. I slipped on the shirt and turned to my mirror. I grabbed my face wash and quickly washed my face and then grabbed my blow dryer plugging it in and turning it to high, I let out a confused sigh as it didn't turn on. "Oh COME ON!" I screamed I unplugged it from the wall and through it back in the cabinet under the sink. I left the bathroom aggravated, my hair looks horrible if it doesn't get blow dried plus it takes forever to air dry.

When I looked to Natsu I saw a slight blush on his face. Natsu. Is. Blushing.

"Um. . . Nice shirt," He said looking away, " and what's with the scream from in the bathroom, you seemed pretty upset."

"Well, yeah my hair dryer broke and now I can't blow dry my hair, it looks horrible when it isn't blow dried and it takes forever to air dry." I said pouting at the end, I could feel the tips on my wet hair seep water into my shirt.

What he said next surprised me. "I can dry it for you?" "You aren't going to catch it on fire are you!?" I asked a little panicked. He gave me look that said, ' you don't trust me do you' I let a simple, "I guess. . ." He ran over to me grabbing my wrist pulling me over to the bed. He sat down, picked me off the floor and sat me in between his legs.

I blushed at this.

He started messaging his hands through my hair, which I thought was weird until I felt the light heat running around my wet head. I felt so relaxed I started getting really tired it was so relaxing. I felt his hands leave my hair exclaiming the word done.

But I was to to sleepy to move so instead I fell into his chest.

My eyes closed and I let sleep take over my body, but not before I felt moving around. Natsu had picked me and laid me on the other side of the bed tucking me in under the covers. I muttered a, "Thanks." Turning on my side facing the wall I assumed.

Although the weight didn't leave the other side of my bed. Natsu! I'm too tired to do anything about that now.

I was about to be sucked into relaxing darkness known as sleep until I felt two strong arms pull me from the edge of the bed into their warm embrace. Natsu. . .

It felt quite nice actually.

Feeling so relaxed I feel into a peaceful sleep.

I sat straight up in bed, sweating and panting for air. In the hast of me sitting up I managed to wake up Natsu. "What's wrong Luce!?" He asked frantically. His hands made their way to my forehead pulling away as soon as they got there.

"Lucy, your very hot, you've made yourself sick you need to get some rest all this stress is making you sick, literally." He pulled me back down to the pillows tucking me in before laying down himself.

"Natsu, I just remembered something. My mom said these spirits were stronger than my zodiac spirits, I know I've gotten stronger being able to open three gates at once but, if these spirits are so powerful how can I open just one gate?"

I have to admit I was pretty scared.

"Don't worry Luce, we'll talk about it later, now get some rest." He promised.

He wrapped his arms around me once again and that's how I fell back into a dreamless sleep.
