Hi guys! I feel like doing a game with y'all so you can kinda know me a bit better! Here's what you gotta do: In your review, ask me a question. I'll answer them in the next chapter-update.
And yes, I know I'm updating a day early than what I said. Think of it as an early Christmas gift.
I AM STARTING ANOTHER STORY! Just to tell you, thought you might like to know.
So, anyway... Let's go back to our favorite guild.
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Fairy Tail or any of the characters.
Recap:
"Lucy, I have to confess something. I really, really like you." If only he could sober up right this instant! That would make things a whole lot better!
"N-Natsu! What are you doing!"
"I'm hoping we could become something...more." He leaned in, as if he was going to kiss me. The moment I had been dreading and the one he will never remember. I braced myself. I waited for his lips to meet mine, but the never did. Instead The was now a sword in between me and Natsu, and a voice yelling "Natsu! Lucy! What are you doing?"
Chapter 3
I froze. Erza was in front of me with an evil, murderous, and frightened aura. How did that work? And why was she back so early?
"E-Erza! I-It's not what you think!" I really hope she doesn't make any conclusions.
"Never mind that, I'll find out when I'll deal with you two later. But right now, I need to fill you in on what's happening." Her voice was serious. She grabbed me and Natsu and drug us out of the closet. She threw us at a table that had a very scared Gray. He was so scared that he wasn't even stripping! That says something.
Gray leaned and whispered to me "I'm surprised she didn't kill you two."
Now I'm confused. "Why would she have killed us?" I whispered back. I'm going to get an answer right now.
He looked shocked. "Wait-you guys weren't...?"
"NO! What do you think I am? Stupid?" So that's why Cana had an evil smile. WHY WOULD THAT THINK THAT?
"Lucy, Natsu, Gray. We have a very serious matter on our hands right now. I'm sure you've all seen that it's been rain for quite some time." Now that I take a good look at her, she looks worn out. What's happened?
"So, why does that matter? It's probably Juvia because she's been sad lately." Gray said, not so scared anymore.
"No, Gray, it's not Juvia. While I was out on my job, I ran into this man. He looked suspicious, but I let him be because I had a job to do. Yesterday, I ran into him again, but this time, he was different. He looked insane. We were in a dark alley, and he didn't seem to see me. I went up as close as I dare to see what he was doing, and saw that he was casting a Forbidden Spell. The spell causes rain, and the rain makes you go insane and you'll eventually kill yourself."
We all gasped. None of us were expecting that. I glanced at Natsu. He didn't look like he was drunk anymore, which was a good thing, since we would probably need him to help take down this guy.
"I went up to try to stop him, but he vanished. I need your help to find him and take him down, since that is the only way to reverse the spell. But whatever you do, don't get completely soaked by the rain, because it's now at its full power, so there is a 100% chance that you will go insane."
We all looked at each other, knowing what may happen. It was a chance we all had to take, and we knew it.
"Let's head out!" Erza turned and walked out of the guild along with the rest of Team Natsu, including Happy, who saw what was going on and followed.
"Erza! Where exactly are we running to?" We've been running for miles and I'm starting to get worn out. And I can't stop thinking about that stupid closet!
"Just one more mile to the town called Hikari. Don't stop though Lucy, we have to get there and into a safe place before we get drenched." They hurried to get to Hikari and to get out of this rain. It was bad enough that they were starting to get cold by the rain, even though they were sweating, but there was a possibility that they could go insane. This has been one crazy day so far, but what's next?
After about fifteen minuets, they reached Hikari. They went into the closest building to them, which happened to be a magic shop. Once they got in, they collapsed onto the floor. They ran for about eight miles and they were exhausted.
"Are you all okay?" I looked up to see who was talking to us. It was an elderly man, who was most likely the store keeper.
"Yes, just tired from running," I said. "Do you mind if we stay here until we dry off?"
"No, not at all, just let me ask you this. Why were you running?" I looked at Team Natsu to see if I could tell him. But instead of me talking, Erza started.
"You cannot stay out in the rain long, for you would go insane. Surely you've heard of the Shi no ame spell, since you run a magic shop." Erza eyed him suspiciously, as if he were a suspect for causing the spell. Maybe he looked like the man who was casting the spell.
"Yes, in fact, I have. I think that I had a book that was all about the mysterious Death Rain."
"Where is the book now?" Erza gave him a glare that meant "If-you-don't-tell-me-I-will-kill-you". The old man and Lucy shivered in fear. Natsu, thinking that meant that Lucy was cold, scooted closer to her to help warm her up. He didn't dare even think about putting his arms around her, because after the "closet incident", who knows what Erza might do.
"I sold the book to a young man, around the age of twenty, about one week ago, when the..rain...started." The realization finally hit the man, who was probably cursing himself for his stupidity. It wasn't his fault that he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. The effects of the rain will only now start causing people to go insane, and eventually, kill them.
"Don't blame yourself. Just please give us a description of the man, if you will."
"He was about six-foot three, messy brown hair, and green eyes, if I recall correctly."
"Now, do you remember what the book says to reverse the spell."
"Yes I do," He looked really grim now. Could it be that bad? " Will you follow me into the back room to explain, but only the scarlet haired woman." He seamed to understand that she was the leader of the group.
"Yes, I'll follow." He motioned her to follow him and soon they were out of sight. I looked over at Natsu, who was closer to me than when we came into the store. When did he...?
"Any clue on what they're talking about?" I looked from Natsu, to Gray, to Happy. All of them shook their head.
"Only that they're talking about how to reverse the spell, over than that, I'm stumped." Gray said, while finally getting into a sitting position.
"Aye." Happy was now awake and heading to Natsu, who looked lost in thought. Well, this was a first. Since when did Natsu ever think anything out? Maybe the alcohol did something to his brain to make it work like a normal person's.
"N-Natsu, are you okay? You look a little...spaced out." He looked up at me like I was insane, then shocked. He realized that if he went into thought, everyone noticed, especially Lucy. Well, she is my best friend. He thought. Although I do wish we could be something more. NO Natsu, your mind's just jacked up because of the alcohol, and that's it. Nothing else. Lucy is a friend. FRIEND.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about!" He crossed his arms and turned his head away like a little kid. I inwardly giggled. Sometimes, I think he's actually a little kid stuck in an adult's body.
"Are you sure that is the only way to reverse the spell?" Erza didn't want to do that not to anyone, especially Lucy. It made her stomach hurt just thinking about it.
"Sadly, it's true. If there was any other way, I would tell you in an instant, because she looks like a nice, young lady. I will look into it, and if I find anything, I'll go and tell you immediately." The old man had sorrow in his eyes, hoping that they would find a new way to stop the rain. They had young minds, they can do it. Hopefully, on time though.
"It's now her choice, but she'll probably want to do this. She wouldn't want it to be any other way. Thank you for your time, sir." Erza turned and walked out the door. There has to be another way. Erza thought. Lucy, no matter what, I'll find another way to reverse the spell. I promise.
"Gray, your cloths," Lucy said, turning away from the sight of a nude Gray. They'd been sitting there for fifteen minuets, waiting on Erza.
"What's taking Erza so long?" Natsu said, waiting to get to a battle already. He didn't like just sitting around so his thoughts could eat him alive. Although he didn't completely mind, because they were of Lucy. Just then, Erza came out of the back room, looking pale.
"Let's go find an hotel where we can spend the night and plan." She turned away from them and started to head out the door.
"What did he tell you, Erza?" Gray came back, fully clothed.
Erza stopped and turned around. She gave him the "I-don't-want-to-talk-about-it-and-if-you-pursue-the-topic-anymore-I'll-kill-you" look. Him and Natsu started hugging each other. Apparently, Natsu was thinking the same thing. Whatever Erza and the old man talked about, it wasn't good and she wasn't going to tell us. At least, not right now.
They went back into the rain, looking for the Erza had stayed at before she came back to the guild. From what she said, it was on the other side of town. When they finally got to the hotel, they went into the room they rented and collapsed. Hikari was a very large town, so it took them about ten minuets just to get to the hotel. Lucy looked around. It looked like no one was soaked, but she couldn't tell. She sighed and put her head back down. She was to tired to do anything besides sleep. Her eyes started to shut when she heard it. It was not a normal giggle or alcohol induced, it was a giggle only made by mad people.
Gray, Lucy, and Erza's head all shot up, looking for the source of the giggle. All their eyes fell upon Natsu, who was indeed giggling evilly. Erza and Gray's mouths dropped to the floor. "IS NATSU GIGGLING?" They yelled at the same time.
"That fact that he's giggling isn't the matter," Lucy said. "but listen to how he's giggling." They all listened to a still-giggling Natsu. Erza's eyes widened, knowing what Lucy was talking about. She got up and walked over to Natsu, and punched him in the gut. He was knocked out.
"E-Erza! What did you do that for? I know it was annoying, but still!" Gray said, not knowing what was going on.
"Gray," She turned to face him. He gasped when he saw how much she was shaking. She had also gotten even paler. "Natsu is going insane."
So, what 'ya think? Like it? Hate it? Wanna kill me now? Wouldn't blame you, though, since I keep ending my chapters like this.
REMEMBER TO ASK A QUESTION!
Natsu: Yeah, do what she says.
Me: WH- WHEN DID YOU GET HERE! *Falls to the ground and faints*
Natsu: I think she's even weirder than Lucy, and that's saying something.
Lucy: LUUUCCCCYYYY KICK! *Kicks Natsu in the face* I am NOT weird, you idiot!
Natsu: WHY'D YOU KICK ME! I'M NOT IN YOUR APARTMENT!
Lucy: *sighs* Please review!
Me: *wakes up* Do what she said. *Faints again*
