Me- hello all and this chapter may in fact be the longest I have written ever in history of my writing. This chapter is by far going to be awesome. Besides, who doesn't love an angry Natsu? Enjoy!
Perfect for me
It was almost 12 and Lucy was rushing just to get herself packed in time or face the lovely Erza Scarlet's wrath. She was almost ready to go, but that only meant one thing was out of place if she was actually ready today.
"Hey Luce!" Natsu called as he flew through her bedroom window, practically knocking all of her luggage on the floor which would mean repacking everything.
"Natsu, please be careful, and shouldn't you be packing?" Lucy questioned the fire breather as he gave his usual grin.
"I'm already ready, because all I need is Happy and you." Natsu said which caused Lucy's face to go completely red from the thing she thought she'd never hear come out of Natsu's mouth.
"Aye, Natsu are you ready, and why are you so red Lucy?" Happy chimed in as he came through the window that Natsu had previously entered.
"Do you have a fever?" Natsu questioned as he got closer to Lucy which made her heart beat faster. He was only centimeters away from her face until she smacked him away. She immediately scolded herself for doing that without any reasoning behind it aside from being embarrassed from the close proximity of her and the fire breather.
"Luce, what was that for?" Natsu asked while rubbing the back of his head since it collided with the edge of her desk.
"Why don't we just go instead, Erza is probably already mad at us for being late?" Lucy said while grabbing her bags with the help of said fire breather and Happy who was grinning like a Cheshire cat, he knew something but Natsu wasn't going to ask.
It took a few minutes but they had made it, and not a minute to spare. Erza smiled as she directed them towards there transportation upon which Natsu groaned with a pale face. Once the team boarded the train, they all took their seats with Gray next to Erza and Natsu next to Lucy. He was already feeling sick but something kept it from getting worse than it was right now. All he smelt was strawberries and vanilla mixed together. It was Lucy's scent and it was making Natsu feel much better.
"Luce?" Natsu questioned in a quiet voice to which Lucy looked over.
"What's wrong Natsu?"
"Can I lie in your lap?" Lucy again blushed at how forward he was, but complied to the request since he seemed to only do it because he didn't look so hot right now. She knew why he asked her, and though she wished it was because he liked her more than a friend, there wasn't much to do about it.
"Ok." She said as Natsu was shocked at her agreeing to the request. He slowly laid his head down on her lap as he was engulfed in the smell that was Lucy. Lucy always did smell nice to the fire breather but he had always assumed he like her smell because Lucy was his best friend. He knew that he loved her, but to express it was hard to do.
Erza and Gray watched the scene in front of them as Natsu fell asleep in Lucy's lap as she gently moved a piece of hair out of his face. Erza couldn't help but smile at the scene as Gray was ready to throw back up his lunch. Lucy quickly looked up at the two as she remembered that it wasn't only her and Natsu, and by the way they were looking at her she could already tell it was going to be a long ride.
An hour had passed as they finally reached their destination, and Lucy wasn't looking forward to a talk with her father. She wasn't quite sure if she would ever get along with her father which was something she had always dreamed of, but she knew it would be just like last time. She hopes someday they can become closer but till then they would stay at a distance until today that is.
"This is it; please promise me that you guys won't leave my side." Lucy told them as they solemnly agreed. They followed her as she went into the estate to which she was greeted by her father who had a glint in his eye that Natsu didn't quite like. He didn't like the smell of Lucy's father, but he was sure that wasn't the smell he was smelling.
"Lucy, I would like for you to sit so we can talk, but I'd like to do it alone." He requested as Lucy shook her head in response.
"Wherever I go, they go." She told him as he agreed to let the four others follow into the other room.
"I bet you wonder why I brought you here." Her father said as Lucy made a gesture as for him to hurry it up a bit since she knew it would be the same as last time.
"Not to be rude sir, but we do need for you to cut to the chase." Erza said as politely as she could.
"Fine, we have lost all of our money, and the only way to get it back is through Lucy marrying Ichigo Taminari, now the wedding will have to be in two days but we can manage, now…" within seconds he started rambling on about the wedding as Lucy grew aggravated and was about to say something but Natsu beat her too it with anger evident in his eyes.
"Lucy isn't marrying anybody, you can't force her to marry someone she doesn't even love, and besides she's mine." Natsu said as the others eyes grew wide at the last word he stated.
"My daughter isn't an item, so she isn't yours; you can't make this decision for her based on your own impulses. Surely I would have thought my Lucy would have better friends." Her father said as Natsu was about to burn him to a crisp, but was calmed by Lucy holding onto his hand.
"My decision, you didn't listen to it yet, and you know my answer is and always will be no." Natsu inwardly shouted with glee for his Lucy saying no, but immediately became aware. Dragon slayers were always known to be possessive, and jealous, but he was always afraid to feel those feelings since he thought he could hurt Lucy if he got out of control.
"To bad I'm not letting you say no, and you have two days to say yes to the marriage or your friends will be killed by your fiancée." He said as Lucy glared at him and added with much sarcasm
"Oh no my friends will be killed, but how can you do that when we are members of the strongest guild known as fairy tail." Lucy smiled satisfied as her father smirked and with a snap of his fingers had Erza, Gray, and Happy confined by some sort of cage that dropped from nowhere.
"Erza, Gray, Happy!" Lucy called, but when Erza tried to break free she was electrocuted by the bars and it made Lucy scream more with tears in her eyes.
"Not so sure on your answer now are you." A voice called as Lucy turned to find the voice but couldn't see anything. Natsu saw how panicked Lucy was and came closer to her and held her in his protective arms.
"Lucy, you have two days to say yes, and if your other friend who remains un-trapped tries anything he will be the first to fall." Her father announced as Lucy yelled out after him, but he disappeared in a flash.
"Don't worry Erza, Gray, I'll think of something and then we will be home in a matter of minutes." Lucy told them as she looked at her companions with sympathetic eyes.
"Don't worry Lucy, we will get out of this mess, we've gotten through a lot together." Erza said as Gray agreed with her.
"Gray, your clothes." Lucy brought up as Gray notices his clothes were indeed off.
"Not again!" Gray shouted as he scurried around to find his missing wardrobe.
Lucy sighed as Natsu laughed from the pure enjoyment of watching his rival search for clothing in a cage, but with all jokes aside, they had to think of a plan to get them out and leave without Lucy's father knowing.
"There's no way out Lucy Heartfilia, and if you ask me, well I could have had a much better looking bride." A voice spoke up as a man flew down in front of the group. They stared at the man in shock; he looked a lot like Natsu, but with brown hair and brown eyes instead of Natsu's pink locks and green eyes. He couldn't be Lucy's fiancée, if he was then Natsu was sure to have a heart attack from the sheer fact that he had a look-a-like.
"Are you Ichigo Taminari?" Lucy questioned not quite ready for the answer quite yet.
"Yes, and are you my ugly fiancée?" He smirked as Lucy flew to the floor from the impact of his words.
"Ugly, Ugly, Ugly…" Lucy kept repeating the words over and over as Natsu immediately felt anger towards his doppelganger for making Lucy upset.
"Lucy's not ugly, and if she's so ugly to you then why do you want to get married to her?" Natsu questioned while the man just shrugged.
"I got bored with my old wife so I wanted to new one, a new play thing, and despite her ugly complexion, her body is worthwhile." Ichigo said as he eyes Lucy which angered Natsu to no end. He immediately hid Lucy from Ichigo's view. Ichigo noticed the way Natsu acted around Lucy and smirked at the idea that popped up in his head.
"Yep, I can't wait till she's underneath me in bed, and to know she can't do a thing about it is even more rewarding since all my wives get a magic controlling collar." Ichigo bragged as Natsu's eyes grew wide, and he immediately attacked Ichigo.
"You go anywhere near my Lucy, and I will make sure you burn in flames, my flames." Natsu said in a dangerously low voice with his hand showing him the flame that would destroy him if he touched Lucy.
"Touchy, Touchy, to bad if you touch me, my father will kill you." Ichigo said with a smile.
"I don't care much if I die, but you, not so much you ugly bastard." Natsu said while showing off the flames again.
"I'm beautiful, and there's not much I can say for that Lucy girl." He smirked as Natsu prepared to knock him out, and once that was done he'd be gone in a heartbeat. He was soon stopped by Lucy's hand on his, and she crushed her body on to him while hugging him from behind.
"Please, Natsu, don't fight anymore." Lucy begged as she tightened her hold on him, letting her tears fall from her eyes.
"Lucy…" Natsu spoke up as she shook her head in his back which he knew meant not to talk and to just sit there. He knew that she wanted him to promise not to fight anymore, but he couldn't do it. He wished he could just protect Lucy no matter what happens but this however was out of his hands. All Natsu could do was watch the girl he loves get married to a guy that he absolutely despises. He still couldn't stomach the words. He loves Lucy, and he always will, much more than this doppelganger of his will. Why can't Lucy's father understand and let her go. What was going on, it didn't seem like something a father would do, and Natsu was going to get to the bottom of it.
Me- Thank you for reading this installment, and hopefully you keep reading cause I was super happy getting those reviews yesterday. Thank you everyone who reviewed. And I'm glad you guys gave me those four reviews. Because I got four reviews, you met the fiancée, and not as like-able as the older one, but as you read it gets better. And I'm probably looking at 8 chapters or more depending on how this story goes. I write it as I'm going. Please review and make me the happiest writer in the world.
