"What's wrong with you? Are you stupid?" Lisanna stepped up to Lucy's face and yelled so loud that the whole guild came to a halt.
"Lisanna, what's wrong with you? Get up on the wrong side of the bed?" Lucy and Happy let out short giggles at her joke and so did the whole guild. Lisanna's face grew red with rage and she reached out and grabbed the collar of Lucy's collar.
"Lisanna?" Happy whispered lightly, "What're you doing? Lucy's our friend, we don't do that to friends!"
"She may be your friend but to me she's just another love rival, someone who is weak and limp," Lisanna's words took a direct hit to Lucy, her words sinking deep in her brain, trying to hold back her rage she clenched her fists.
"Lisanna, let me go." Lucy spoke in a stern tone, she meant business. She clenched her fists even tighter when Lisanna pretended she never said a peep.
"Lucy, let's be honest here. You don't deserve to be so close to him. You're just his friend, always his friend," Lisanna yelled her words in such rage the guilds eyes widened. It was old news that Lucy had a thing for Natsu, they acted like a married couple. Since that first day when they formed a team and did joined missions, Lucy saw him in a way nobody else could, as the sweet charming boy he was. Lucy just hoped that Natsu could remain on his mission a bit longer, she did not want him to see her and Lisanna fighting, violently.
Lisanna tightened her grip on Lucy's neck when Mira and Elfman began walking up to her.
"Lisanna! What are you doing to Lucy? Release her!" Mira whispered this in Lisanna's ear in a deep tone only to be ignored by Lisanna, even Lucy heard her words crystal clear. It was no use, Lisanna was angry with Lucy's love affliction and was not going to give up until Lucy gave up hope of ever sharing feelings of love with Natsu.
"Let me go, Lisanna." Lucy struggled for breath, Lisanna had never meant to intentionally hurt Lucy, she just wanted to set her straight but Lucy was having none of it. Slowly Lucy's right hand lifted up to Lisanna's face, she quickly drew back her hand as Lisanna released her collar. Lucy's hand moved forward with incredible speed and made harsh contact with Lisanna's cheek.
Tears rolled down Lucy's face and she bent her head over so her bangs hid her bloodshot eyes, Lisanna's mouth dropped as a small bruise began forming on her face. You could hear a pin drop in the guild, everyone was astonished at both their actions. Lisanna suddenly pulled a smirk and walked up to Lucy's ear.
"He'll be hearing about your slap, I even have the bruise to prove it, who do you think he'll believe, his childhood friend or a newbie whom he found on the streets?" Lisanna's words echoed in Lucy's head, the tears began running down her cheek quicker. She tried to look strong but it was all too much now.
Behind them both the guild doors opened and a small pink haired boy waltzed in carrying sacks of food supplies which he'd received for completing his most recent mission.
"Yo!" He shouted obviously not realising the awkwardness in the guild. Immediatley Lisanna ran up to him and cried into his shoulder, wrapping her arms around him.
"Lisanna?" He whispered. Slowly she pulled her head from his shoulder leaving a small wet patch where her tears had fallen. She looked him in the eye, making sure her bruise was noticeable to him and pulled him into her grasp.
"Th-the bruise, how did you get it, Lisanna?" He let his gentle words flow into her, calming her. Lucy was trying to fix her collar, making the rip which Lisanna inflicted while choking her almost invisible. Lisanna pulled an arm from her grasp around Natsu and lifted a finger in Lucy's direction, Lucy's tears had dried and her eyes had returned to normal when she turned around to see Natsu's face, enraged.
"How dare you." His words were like an arrow to the heart.
