Ch. 2

Disastrous Night

She finally steps out of the dressing room fully dressed with the bra in her hand and walks up to the counter to purchase it not paying any attention to the spirit that was eying her every move from over her shoulder. As if able to hear Loke's thoughts, the cashier bids them farewell and tells them to have fun with the new bra, which makes Lucy blush slightly.

"I wonder what she was implying." says the celestial spirit curiously. She then looks to her strongest spirit and sighs heavily. "You need to have a way of warning me about when you're randomly going to show up like that Loke. I could have gotten in trouble for that you know!" she says to Loke scornfully which makes the spirit cringe and apologize to her. "Lucy I really am sorry but I could have sworn that I sensed that you were stressed out about something and even now you seem a little bit down." Lucy stopped to think about what the spirit had just said and then she stumbled as she took another step. As soon as she started to comes closer to the ground she felt herself be grabbed by someone. She then looks up to see Loke holding her by the waste and shoulders wearing a concerned look on his face that said everything. He was right. Something was wrong with Lucy, even though she wasn't able to tell.

"I'm OK Loke, just a little bit dizzy is all. You wouldn't mind walking me home would you?"

"I would love to walk you home but I hope you know that I will be keeping a close eye on you in case you seem to get worse." Loke replies.

A few minutes later they walk in through the front door of the house and Loke graciously takes the items from Lucy and stores them away. Before she even has a chance to protest Loke already has a bath ran for her and he demands her to get in and soak all of the troubles away. At the demand of her spirit, she walks into the bathroom and undresses herself revealing her flawless lightly colored skin. She walks cautiously towards the tub stumbling slightly before reaching the side wall. She then lifts her leg to get in and a sudden wave of dizziness washes over her and then she feels herself blackout.

Loke

"At this point I feel slightly pushy...but I needed to do something. I could feel the fever radiating off of her when I saved her from the concrete." he thinks to himself.

His ear twitches as he hears a loud sound come from the bathroom and he rushes in. He nearly kicks the door down out of anxiety as thoughts of what could have made that sounds rushes through his head, and that's when he catches the sight of the woman he truly loved and dared for laying on the ground with a slight pool of blood surrounding her head and her eyes rolled back into her skull. Panicked he rushes over to Lucy almost kneeing her in the side as he kneels beside her. He places his head on her bare chest to see if he can hear her breathing and to also see what her heart rate sounds like. Relieved that she is breathing and that her heart is still going he leaves her side and looks for a towel. Once he finds a towel that isn't wet or dirty he takes it and places it on her bed and then he goes back for the unconscious woman, gently picking her up and slowly carrying her over to her bed before lightly placing her down with her head on the towel that he laid out on her pillow. He then covers her up and then grabs a chair and places it next to the bed before sitting down and grabbing her hand.

"Lucy please, you have to wake up." he whispers to her lovingly as tears well up in his eyes.

At that point he looks to the towel and notices that it is turning a crimson color and that's when he decides that something needs to be done. He stands up and then exhales loudly after closing his eyes. The room starts to glow with a golden color as he cries out "Virgo, please come to me. It's an emergency." Soon a beautiful young woman with pink hair, wearing a maids outfit with shackles around her wrists seems to morph from the floor.

"What's the matter brother?" Virgo says with an alarmed tone to her, what is usually a mellow toned, voice.

"Virgo I need you to get Wendy. Please hurry." he says looking at the unconscious blonde who is steadily becoming paler from loss of blood. Almost as soon as Virgo leaves, she reappears with a young girl with blue hair and a small white cat.

"Loke what happened?" asks Wendy after seeing Lucy in her state. Before Loke could even answer Wendy rushes over to Lucky and uses her healing magic to cure her and mend the gash in the back of her head. Loke explaining everything to Wendy after he learns that she will be fine and just needs rest. After another hour or so all except for Loke leave and the house falls eerily quiet. He lays his head down on the pillow, awkwardly due to the fact that he is still sitting in the char, and falls into a light sleep. At some point Lucy stirs in her sleep and gently wakes Loke up. He looks at her sleeping face and smiles at her with a look on his face that truly tells anyone who looked at him at that moment how he truly felt about the woman laying on the bed in front of him. He leans down and gently kisses her on the forehead and says gently and with a voice that carried all of the passion in the world with it "Lucy you are the most amazing thing in the entire world. I will always be at your side whether you need me or not. I love you so much Lucy. I want you to know that you mean everything to me." He closes his eyes and then opens them again in shock. There was a fluttering feeling in his stomach as something warm and soft touched his lips tenderly. When he opens his eyes he looks down to see the woman he loves so much kissing him and at that moment he gently grabs the back of her head and kisses her back passionately. They continue like that for a little while, each new kiss becoming more and more passionate. Soon Loke grabs Lucy's hand and then breaks the kiss. He could feel himself blushing ferociously as he looked at the woman who had just attacked his lips. He opens his mouth to question her about what had just happened before realizing that she wasn't even awake. He lightly laughs to himself and pushed her back down to the bed and covers her up before falling asleep himself.
