Chapter 3 Clash of the Fire Dragons

Natsu POV

It has been three days since that incident happened with Lucy. No one has been the same, there's been no fights unless I hear someone say Lucys name and then I snap. Her name is a constant reminder that I broke my promise to always protect her. I had made a mistake that may have cost me the girl I love the most. Realising that I was in love with Lucy was like having my heart ripped out, I had blown it I'd be lucky if I was able to remain her friend never mind be her lover.

Lisanna had no clue about what happened, so the guilds behavior confused her. I confused her even more when I broke up with her, she didn't understand why I did it but she didn't pester me about it but she didn't leave me alone either .

I always sit in the place where Lucy had sat. I had a good view of the door from here and everytime it opened I looked up hoping to see her walk in, each time I was disappointed and continued to worry. The girl Lucy had summoned was obviously not human and according to master and Loke summoning the girls kind could have killed Lucy if she wasn't strong enough. Even though three days ago we had been told Lucy was alive, that doesn't mean something hasn't happened to her between now and then.

"Hey Natsu do you think Lucy will come back, I have a fish to give her."

I look at Happy, he had really suffered, he missed Lucy nearly as much as I did. He was on the verge of tears, he'd cried alot since Loke left and I wasn't able to comfort him, I felt terrible . I didn't want to give him false hope either so I answer him the best way I can

"I don't know Happy I really hope she does."

Happy seems satisfied with my answer and goes over to Wendy for a hug.

There was a loud bang as the guild doors are pushed open and I can't help but stare at the person in the doorway and I'm pretty sure the rest of the guild were staring as well but I can't be certain. Lucy is standing in the doorway and she isn't alone, she's with five other girls one of them was the girl from the other day and as for the others I have no idea who they are. One of them has jet black hair with burgundy eyes she seemed to be arguing with the girl who has auburn hair and chestnut eyes. The other two have blue hair and sea-green eyes and the other looked like a younger version of the girl who Lucy summoned.

Lucy seemed to be laughing at the two who were fighting, is she really the same girl who broke down three days ago. I got up to go to her but I stopped due to a voice in my head

'Don't your only going to hurt her more leave it be for awhile, you hurt her more than anyone your the last person she wants to talk to right now.'

I look towards the girl Lucy had summoned, she gave me a small smile. She didn't seem as horrible as she did the other day but her threat still lingered in my mind. I saw her giggle, it's like her personality is completely different, it's really terrifying . Her friends turn towards her, I hear them ask her who she was tormenting but she just shook her head.

'I still stand by my threat Salamander, but its not me you have to worry about its the other four if you piss them off I won't help you so becareful what you say'

I look away from Lucy and her friends I knew that she wouldn't talk to me after what I done but I wasn't expecting her to have guards. I couldn't help but sigh I have blown it big time the one thing I didn't protect her from was myself and the guild and it's obvious that she's not going to forgive and forget any time soon.

I place my head on my arms, I want to die right now, I'd rather die than hurt her again. Maybe me leaving the guild would be best I wouldn't be able hurt her any more.

"I love you Luce" It was the first time I have said it out loud and it was a big mistake

" WHAT DID YOU SAY" I look up to see the four girls I was warned about glaring at me, how did they hear what i said from the other side of guild. The auburn haired girl starts walking towards me.

"Did we just hear you say that you love Lucy! If you really loved Lucy you wouldn't have forgotten her in the first place! And you have no right to call her Luce"

I flinch at her words, but its true I have no right to call her that anymore. No one knew of the pet name I gave Lucy, as she preferred for me not to use it front of the guild members incase they got the wrong idea, but she was wrong about me loving Lucy I have always loved her and I always will, I was just too dense to realise it until this happened.

" You don't have a right to tell me what i can and cannot do"

" Is the almighty Salamander challenging me?"

" maybe" This is the first time that I never wanted to battle, she's Lucys friend and I really don't want to hurt her.

"Ill take that as a yes, why don't we take this outside you've destroyed enough of your friends lives already"

I can only nod at her request, I don't see the point in arguing with her about her comment it will only make things worse. Her friends shout at her:

"Go easy on him Mikan and try and make sure he doesn't end up as a pile of dust"

After hearing that remark its safe to say that I'm scared, I'm terrified but I have to do this, I have to fight her, theres no way she'll let me out of this.

NORMAL POV

Natsu followed Mikan outside, she was already standing in her position ready for battle. Natsu walked away from her so there was a 30 meter gap in between them. A lot of the guild members had followed the two out to watch the fight, Natsu scanned the crowd he found the group that Lucy was with before but she wasn't there. Master stepped forward, he put his hand in the air, after taking a glance at the two he brought his hand down and shouted

"Begin!"

As soon as the word left masters mouth he felt a pain in his stomach and he was sent flying. He crashed into the guild wall with such force he went through it when he got up and saw Mikan laughing.

"Too slow Salamander with reflexes like that you'll never beat me never mind the others I'm with, I'm the weakest you you call yourself a Dragon slayer "

Her speed and power surprised the guild, Natsu never had a chance to move before she hit him. If this was her power and she was the weakest then how strong were the others. Natsu knew she was too strong for him to beat but he had never backed down in a battle and he wasn't gonna start now.

"Roar of the fire dragon"

Natsus attack was heading straight for Mikan, She had the speed to dodge it but she didn't she just stood there smiling. The flames hit Mikan and exploded and some of the naiver members of the guild thought that Natsu had won, but Natsu knew better, he could sense that that attack didn't hurt her and he was proved right when the flames started rapidly disappearing. After a few moments you could see Mikan eating the flames, his flames. The guild gasped in shock none of them had expected this. Natsu had guessed that his attacks wouldn't hurt her much but this? This was too much.

" Thanks for the meal Natsu-kun, but as I'm sure you've guessed fire won't work on me. I think its time I show you the power of a true fire dragon slayer."

Mikans right hand burst into flames, but it instantly became some sort of liquid. The heat became to much for the other guild members so they stepped back. The group Mikan was the only group who stayed where they were and this time Lucy was with them, her eyes wide with horror. Mikan started to run towards Natsu her fist in the air as she was getting ready to hit him, she called out

"Fist of the ancient fire dragon"
Mikan was about to hit Natsu when she felt something hug her. She turned around her fist still inches from Natsus face to see a tearful Lucy.

"Please Mikan no more fighting, Fy modd ef"

The lava disappeared disappeared from Mikans fist, and she smiled at the celestial mage.

" I think your going to fly through your training you can already withstand the heat of my lava"

Lucy just smiled and said

" Lets go home"

The group followed Lucy and Mikan towards her apartment, Sakura dropped back and started to walk towards Natsu. Her sister called out to her

"Sakura-nee you coming"

"I'll catch you up I need to do something first."

Natsu just stared at Sakura, was she going to tell him off or kill him herself? Sakura couldn't help but giggle at the idiots thoughts, she only wanted to warn the bloody idiot.

" I warned you idiot, but I guess you were lucky it was Mikan and not any of the others seeing as they can kill in one hit."

"So you came to here to make me feel worse huh"

"No I came to give you a warning. My half brother and sister are nullifying their contract with Lucy so they can help me train her, once they get here you will have to be careful what you think about. You'll be dead before you even finish thinking."

"So basically I cant think about Lucy at all or I'll die?"

"That pretty much sums it up, Damien won't hesitate in killing you"

"What about _"

"Ana? She wouldn't kill you as she fears me too much but Damien will kill you and this time Lucy won't be able to save you unless she completes her training so I suggest you be extra careful"

With that Sakura began walking off towards Lucys apartment.

"Wait! How will Lucy be able to save me if Damien tried to kill me"

Sakura took a moment to think about this before she answered.

"If Damien did try to kill you after her training is complete she could save you with a tear, but until then I'll have to bring you back if he kills you with my own but don't think I'm doing for anyone other than Lucy, shes lost enough people already."

she turned around and headed back towards Lucys apartment and Natsu was soon surrounded by the guild asking him questions but he couldn't forget what Sakura had said. Could a tear really save him

Note- Fy modd ef means I love him in Welsh. If any one notices and mistakes please tell me if you have any questions about characters please ask ill try to answer the best I can
