"Oh man am I tired!" Lucy reached her hands over her head, stretching her back and pooping her shoulders before sighing a sigh of relief. Team Natsu had just finished capturing a villain who had stolen over 4,000,000 jewels in well, jewels. Diamonds, emeralds and rubies. Of course he was a weakling when it came to fighting, all he was good for was hiding. But with Natsu's nose he was easily sniffed out and by now already in jail.

"But Lushiii~~ You barely did anything." Cried happy as he slung his body over her shoulder. But that wasn't what made Lucy stop dead in her tracks as she remembered what happened in that room. Her long blonde bangs hung over her eyes as her wounds under her bandages ached.

"Oh course she didn't do anything, She didn't need to because she has me there right?!" Natsu said has he clapped a hand over her shoulder, where another wound was making her wince.

"Haha, ya. I'm glad you were there Natsu. But I think I'm going to go home, I am a little tired after that." Thats when the whole team realized that why were at the street of Lucy's home. Waving good bye to everyone she made her way down the street trying to ache as normal as possible.

"Natsu, Lucy smells weird." The blue cat said worriedly as he floated around every ones head, watching Lucy disappear in the crowds.

"Its probably nothing we should be worried about. Lets go back to the guild! I'm starving!" And with that thought they all made their way to the Fairy Tail guild with rumbling stomachs and not a care in the world.

Lucy however was having a hard time making it just up her steps. She did not want to worry Natsu and Happy but during the battle with that stupid thief she did get hurt, and pretty badly. It made her sick when there she lay behind some rubble while the guy started to walk out. And right before he passed the threshold out came Natsu's fist effectuality knocking him out.

It was that easy to defeat this weakling! One punch! And here she was, holding her side and shoulder as blood seeped though her stomach bandages. She made sure Natsu and happy didn't know about them. She was hiding behind rubble anyway. They still thought she was outside. So instead of her usual skirt and short shirt she had to wear pants and a long sleeve shirt. Good thing it was in the middle of Autumn and winter was coming.

Sighing Lucy struggled back up the steps, gasping for breath with ever move. Finally upon reaching her room she slid down the door and decided to take a break. Staring into the darkness of the hallway Lucy thought about everything that hade happened since joining fairy tail. Everything with Natsu, Erza, Gray and Happy. It was all fun, especially with Natsu and Happy. Though she would not admit it to anyone, and even had a hard time still admitting it to herself and believing it.

She had fallen in love with the stupid dragon slayer. After Phantom Lord she started to notice her feelings of awkwardness and a blush coming to her cheeks whenever he was around. Then he would get all worried and ask if she had a fever, by getting closer to her face. Which in turn would make her face more red.

She could not count how many times she had to go home on a lie that she was not feeling well, just because she could not handle Natsu being so close to her. Maybe it was how he said things during battles, about him never handing her over. Or how he said it with so much passion. But then again wouldn't that mean she would have easily fallen in love with Gray or Reedus? Lucy blanked at that and started to giggle to herself.

Her and Reedus? That would be a shocker for anyone she was sure. Oh well, Natsu was the one her heart choose and there was nothing she could do about it. But now that she thought about it Lucy did think she would have done anything differently anyway. But the all mighty fire dragon slayer as as dull knowing then a 4 year old child. But the more Lucy thought, the more that aged suited his mental capacity.

Sighing for the umpteenth time that day she guessed it was time to go inside before the land lady came out and yelled at her for being in the hallway for to long. Hanging on to the door knob she leaned her body up against the door and pushed with little effort. But even that left her out of breath.

"Damn it! Will I always be this weak." She violently said in between gasps. Closing the door she immediately began to take off the restricting and drenched shirt on the floor somewhere and was making her way to the bathroom with her pants somewhere behind her. Looking in the mirror she was shocked how much blood was there was on her shoulder. What did she do to reopen it this bad?

Oh right, Natsu. Wincing at his friendly hit Lucy decided that a bath would be amazing and best for her wounds. Turning on the water she re -adjusted it to the perfect temp and stripped of her under garments.

The wound on her stomach was a gash from her waist over her stomach and ending just under her breast. The bastard had a knife on him which he choose to bring out when she choose to get close enough to give a Lucy Kick. The wound on her shoulder was really her fault, she backed up into the knife so she could get close enough to defeat him without worrying about the dagger for it was already in her. That was what Natsu slapped and what was now bleeding freely.

Sinking into the bath a hiss escaped her lips as the hot water touched and burned the gashes. But as quickly as it was there it was replaced by a soothing feeling. However she could not lean against the back of the tub and for that she cured the pink haired dragon slayer. "Damn it Natsu."

"Achoo!"

"Jeez Natsu that was a big one. Someone must be talking about you behind your back." Said Happy as he was blown backwards because of the force of the sneeze.

"Oh really, Happy? You sure it wasn't that big bucket of iced water you dumped on me while sleeping?" Natsu hissed back jokingly

Laughing could be heard behind the bar's counter as Mirajane placed a fire whiskey in front of Natsu. "I'm sure it is actually Lucy who is speaking behind your back."

"Lucy?" He asked tilting his pink head to the side. "We are teammates so I guess that would make sense. But she is home alone right now. Who is she talking to?"

"Lucy? There was something..." Whispered Happy

"Who knows" Mirajane said giggling lightly.

"Lucy...hungry...Lucy..." Tapping his paw against his tiny chin, closing his eyes in thought.

"Your strange Mira."

"AHHH" Screamed the blue exceed as he flew himself into Natsu's face, placing his paws on his cheeks and pressing them together. Making Natsu seem like a puffer fish. "Natsu I just remembered something!"

"Haffy whaff ichh it."

"You remember when when Lucy said she was going home? Remember?!"

"Ya you chaid she shmelt weird. Whaff does that haff to do with what we're talking about." Natsu was getting a little impatient, for patience wasn't really his strong point. But if this involved Lucy he would hear out Happy's explanation.

Happy let go of Natsu's cheeks and stepped back a little, a serious look falling on his tiny blue face. "Lucy smelt like blood! Lucy is hurt!"

Everything went silent at that statement, Natsu's eyes went wide and his mouth hung slightly agape. "What..." It came out as a whisper but for a cat with huge ears, it was nothing he couldn't hear.

"When you hit her on the shoulder, a weird smell started to come from her. I don't usually smell it because she never gets that hurt! But now I remembered."

"I made her bleed..." Standing up abruptly, he turned towards the guilds wide doors, ignoring the worried looks of fellow members, the questions of Mira, and even Happy trying to catch up.

After getting out of the tub and drying up, Lucy looked back into the mirror, smiling at how much better the wounds looked. It wasn't an angry red, but now a healthy pink which ment it was healing. Deciding that it would be better to let the gashes breathe for another hour, she got dressed and went into the kitchen walking carefully as to not upset her injuries.

Getting a pot out of the cabinets Lucy placed some water and placed it upon the stove. Standing there staring into the shiny surface of the tea kettle, she was over come with a sense of depression. It had been happening a lot lately. Maybe it was because almost every quest they went on recently, she needed some kind of rescue. Natsu was 10x her strength and power, and though she thought she had gotten somewhat strong in the last few years, Natsu seemed to always be to far ahead for her to reach and keep up.

Maybe it was all the blood she lost these 3 days but suddenly she began to imagine Natsu's face in the tea pot. Staring blankly at it, she imagines his big and bright smile, holding his hand out for her to grab. Lifting a hand up she slowly brought it to the reflective surface.

However upon touching it Lucy had to pull back immediately for unknown to her and her day dreaming state, the tea kettle had already started to boil and steam was coming out of the nose.

Hissing at the pain, she was about to put it in her mouth till a hand reached out and grabbed it and spun her around holding her hand tightly.

"LUCE!"

I was trying to make this a one shot! But it seemed so long, I wasn't sure if a one shot is supposed to be a certain length or not, so I just decided to make it a story. But I guess you can still say its a one shot. I DONT KNOW! If this is not to peoples likings I'll just put it back as one chapter and literally make it an official one shot K?
