Chapter 2. Kane
"Listen everyone." Makarov's voice rang, he stood on the balcony above Fairy Tail's main hall. "This is Kane he is the newest member of Fairy Tail." Makarov's voice was stern suddenly a small smile then full out grin appeared on his face.
"We need to celebrate" he of course had already helped himself to a pint or two. Kane was met with cheers and soon drinks started to circulate followed by laughter and all out rowdiness.
"So much for the peace" Lucy smiled as she returned her attention to her friend.
Levy shrugged "it's weird when it gets too quiet anyway. Hey but don't think you can dodge my question tell me what do you think of him?" The small blush on Lucy's cheeks for the second time said it all.
"So are you going to talk to him?"
"No, I..."
Levy giggled "you may not have a choice here he comes."
Lucy took a peek over her shoulder sure enough Kane was making his way over to their table.
"Ladies is this seat taken? May I?" He sat down after the girls had given a nod of approval.
"I'm sure you know my name but I would like to get to know the two of you."
"I'm Levy" she took the initiative to speak first knowing Lucy's embarrassment would probably keep her from properly introducing herself.
"This is my friend Lucy." Just as he was extending his hand to them he quickly retracted it.
"Oh I see I apologize I didn't realize it was well... like that." The girls looking bewildered followed his eyes to the men standing over their shoulders. Kane had gotten up and left before they could protest.
"What the hell was that?"
"Relax blondie don't take it personal I just thought that flame brain and the others wouldn't appreciate you getting to know him so fast."
Lucy wasn't sure how to react to this, "fine but then why is Gajeel here?"
Looking over at the iron dragon slayer who was standing just behind Levy. Gajeel just looked away in the opposite direction while Levy hid her hands in her lap and tried her best to hid the blush on her face. Hmm i have to remember to ask for the details on when this happened she thought as she looked from one to the other smiling.
"Well I think I will leave you two alone then." Laughing Lucy rose from her seat "I think I'll go back to my place."
"I should go with you."
Startled Lucy turned she had forgotten he had still been standing behind her,
"no way I'll be fine."
"Humph" was all she got in reply. Watching Lucy leave the guild hall Laxus didn't let the stares from a certain black haired nobody go unnoticed.
Lucy walked through her door and headed straight for the shower. When she had finished her bathroom smelled of vanilla and sugar. She took in a relaxing breath then suddenly remembered, Damn I totally forgot to ask levy if she had a book or something that would help me figure out these dreams. I'm sure she will be at the guild still. Lucy headed back out, and just as she reached the guild she spotted someone.
"Hey Kane!" she waved him over,"hey I didn't get a chance to apologize to you about earlier."
"No it's alright I didn't realize I was playing with fire I figured we were just talking."
"Actually Laxus isn't my boyfriend he just thought he was looking out for me, I mean with you being new here and all." She gave a nervous smile.
"Well I can understand I guess."
"We should start again my name is Lucy Heartfilia."
"Kane, it is a pleasure to meet you miss Lucy." Kane bowed low taking Lucy's hand in his and giving it a quick kiss before looking back up at Lucy who had froze with embarrassment.
"Would you like to get something to eat or you were probably on your way to do something."
"No!, No... th-that's ok" Lucy stammered slightly."I know a place we could g-go."
As they were leaving Lucy mentally slapped herself oh well levy I guess you will have to wait till tomorrow, besides this is way to good to pass up.
At dinner the two of them talked about anything and everything Lucy was really enjoying herself, they had really gotten to know one another Lucy liked the way he lacked a seriousness, it made him seem care free. She also noted the fact that he actually listened to what she had to say something maybe Natsu could pick up on. Hell she even loved his voice it wasn't overly deep but still very masculine, he is super cute.
"Lucy, Lucy?" She realized she had been spacing out,
"what was that? I'm sorry I think I zoned out for a bit"
"it's alright, I had asked if you had a boyfriend?"
"Oh!" Surprised Lucy blushed and stuttered slightly"n-no i don't."
"That's surprising, a beautiful lady like yourself and a celestial spirit mage as well it is a very rare magic, makes it hard to believe you don't have a boyfriend."
"Well...thank you" Lucy managed to whisper as she looked down at the table. She heard him get up off of his chair and come toward her she could see his shoes standing right next to her.
"Shall I walk you home miss Lucy?" Lucy looked up just as he once more took a low bow, with a small giggle Lucy agreed. He pulled her chair out from the table and offered his hand she took it as he helped her up. Lucy then let go and started toward her house. They stopped in front of her apartment.
"This is me."
"It looks very nice."
"Thank you, you know if you come by the guild tomorrow I will introduce you to my friends I'm sure they will want to meet you maybe we can even go on a mission together."
"I think I would enjoy that it's not everyday you have a chance to see a very lovely celestial spirit mage in action."
"I'll see you at the guild tomorrow then." Lucy tried her very best to hide her burning cheeks quickly opening the door she ran in slamming it behind her. Wow was it bad I almost wanted a kiss right then? No, Lucy you cannot think like that, just friends he just wants to be friends. She flopped onto her bed, semi tired she decided to call it a night.
"Lucy, Lucy help!" She was running faster and faster never seeming to get anywhere the voices kept calling her,
"Lucy help please!" The voices of her friends. She finally came to a doorway walking through it she found her friends bound and strung up, the rope used seemed to have some sort of anti magic spell on it. They were hanging above a molten and fiery hell.
"Everyone, hang on" she screamed desperate to save them she reached for her keys but they had disappeared. What do i do?
"Lucy you know what you must do, you know how to save your friends." Came a voice from out of nowhere.
Then Lucy as if in a trance replied, "yes i can save them" she walked forward falling into the pit tears running down her cheek.
'Thud' 'thud'
"huh" Lucy blinked light reaching her eyes. Moaning she sat up,
"not another dream" I'm glad i woke up before reaching that fire though.
'Thud' 'thud'
realizing what the noise was that had roused her was someone banging on her door, she grabbed her alarm clock 10:46
"mannnn not again" she ran to the door opening it to a very ticked off Laxus.
well there you have chapter 2 thank you to everyone who is reading and to those who sent a review :}
