It was a very nice day outside.

Lucy Heartfilia was taking a nice walk in the woods to home. She had just gotten done with a minor job, paying around 3000 jewels to get rid of some thugs. It had been quick and easy, and she was paid the full amount, because a certain mage wasn't there to burn everything.

She turned on a higher part. It climbed a little, having the path next to a cliff to the right and a hill area to the left, with lots of trees. She strolled down the path with ease, her keys jingling at her belt. She was in a great mood.

But such a grand mood seldom lasts.

Out of nowhere, Lucy was pushed to the left, sending her flying down the hill. She slammed into many trees as she rolled down, before finally coming to a stop. She groaned and pushed her hair out of her head. Her vision fogged and she wiped away the blood from her eyes and blinked.

A figure appeared in front of her. "Hello." He said, grinning like he knew something she didn't. He was a slim, yet muscular and toned young man of average height with blonde hair, which was in spiky strands jutting outwards in every direction, and a smaller, frontal tuft of hair partially hanging on his forehead. He had slanted dark eyes, and above the right eye was a visible thin scar, diagonally going up his forehead. His left ear held an earring, with a prominent metal pendant reminiscent of a double-edged blade attached to it

'Ah!" yelped Lucy in surprise. He laughed a playful laugh.

"Were you the one who did that!? Who are you?" she asked him quickly. He kept grinning. "I'm Sting. That was me back there. I'm here to kidnap you."

"WHOA, WHAT!?" yelled Lucy, standing up fast and backing away. Sh had to do something! Oh crap, um…

She pulled the first key she could reach from her belt, which was Loke.

"Open! Gate of the Lion!" she called. Loke appeared, in a suit, ready to fight.

"We suspected as much." said "Sting". We?

A slim young man of average height with rather messy black hair appeared behind Lucy and Loke. His red eyes had slit pupils similar to a snake's.

"This is Rouge." He said. Rouge nodded causally, as if to say; 'Sup

Sting gave a snap of his fingers and Rouge moved in front of Loke. At that moment, Loke took the time to go head-on with Rouge.

They both locked on battle. It seemed they were evenly matched, until one of the two's strength weakens, giving the other an advantage. Rouge purposely moved the battle near the base of the hill, so Loke was away from Lucy.

"Now, we're all alone." smirked Sting.

Lucy pushed herself up against a tree. Sting was close now, closer than ever. She pushed herself further into the rough bark. Loke was still, oh never mind. Loke had just faded back away, after Rouge landed a solid blow on him.

"Oh man! Aries? Lyra? Anyone?" she pleaded. She felt a spirit responding to her! Oh thank god!

"YOU!?" she yelled at her "savoir".

It was Aquarius!

"Don't make a fuss! I was only on my way to see my boyfriend when you called."

"DON'T RUB IT IN!" shouted Lucy. Aquarius huffed but used her jar and threw about 1000 gallons of water at Sting, who jumped and shot at her. This went back and forth for a few minutes. Finally Aquarius's strength dipped, and she took at hit from Sting while trying to use her water, soaking both her and Lucy.

A little beat up, Lucy coughed up some water before yelling with concern, "Aquarius!"

Aquarius lay on the floor, injured "You little-!" she tried to shout, but winced. "I'm fine!" she barked.

"No! No you're not! I don't want to get hurt!" Lucy's voice quivered. "Stupid girl! I'm fine!"

"Close, Gate of Aquarius!" ordered Lucy. As Aquarius faded away, she only saw the figure of her owner tossed in to a tree. "No!" said Aquarius, just as she faded into the spirit world.

Lucy was tossed like a rag doll into a tree. She gasped with pain as her spine made contact with the tree, knocking the wind out of her.

She struggled to fill her lungs with air, and pushed herself upright. She took a half step to try to get away, but pain surged through her.

Rouge had stunk up behind her and pulled her arms back, so she was leaned forwards. She fell to her knees, and Sting bent down, not winded at all.

"Got ya." He said, teasing. He pulled her keys off of her belt. She shook her head, waving the hair out of her face.

"Don't hurt them! Let them go! Let them go!" she protested and twisted in Rouge's grip, which tightened. He tossed the brown holder from Lucy's belt into a nearby river.

"NO!" screamed Lucy, fighting even more.

Sting held a cloth to her mouth and pinched her mouth closed tightly. She held her breath, fighting, until she couldn't take it any longer, and took a breath through her nose, filling her nostrils with a sickly sweet smell.

At once, she felt herself becoming weaker and weaker, and her wild thrashing came to a slow stop. She dropped her head low, and the world faded around her.

The last thing she saw, was the grinning face, of the blonde kidnapper.

Yup, it's THAT kind of story. I hope you'll tell me what you think! It's a Aquarius/Lucy bonding thingie. Long story, anyways, tell me what you think? Flames are accepted. Well, ANYTHING is I guess! Until next time!

Peace and Mist,
