Chapter 4: A Walk Alone

...

"Now...you all may go explore for a couple of minutes." Yajima said. He noticed Lucy heading to Erza. He thought it was a good idea until he noticed Natsu and Gray as well.

"Pink haired punk!"

"Droppy eyes!"

"On second thought; Gray you go with Erza and Natsu you go with Lucy." The old man shouldn't had left. He didn't notice the glares Erza and Gray were giving each other.

Natsu gulped, "L-Lets just go Lu-Luce..."

"Okay..."

...

"Red-head!"

"Idiot!"

Gray chuckled, "My my! Erza Scarlet has lost her manners now! What has the world come to?"

"My my! Gray Fullbuster has lost his clothes. My eyes apparently won't be able to see again!" Gray looked down to see he had lost his clothes. "GOD DAMMIT! C'mon red head! Lets go look for them!"

"And why should I go with you, may I ask? They aren't my clothes." Erza said as she started walking away. Gray groaned. He smirked as he noticed something, "Miss Erza Scarlet. You haven't happened to lose your ring have you?" The idiot was completely clueless to know it was an engagement ring.

Erza gasped and slowly turned around, "You scoundrel! Return that to me this instant!" Gray smirked evilly again. "Pardon me? I recall having someone turn down my pleas of help."

...

"Here Luce. I was thinking of giving it to you on Christmas...but...it's our twelfth day here and Christmas passed. So...here." Natsu shoved the flower Lucy was admiring a couple days ago. She smiled and blushed.

"Thanks Natsu."

Natsu scratched his head, "No big deal. It's just a flower. You know, you can be weird sometimes."

Lucy looked at him, "SAYS THE GUY WITH PINK SPIKED UP HAIR!"

"Wha—? My hair is naturally salmon. Not pink." Natsu said as he looked hurt. Lucy continued walking with Natsu following close behind with his head down.

"Lucy's mean..."

"I can hear you!"

...

"You fool! Your clothes won't be in there." Erza said. She tapped her foot impatiently while Gray looked through some bushes. "Calm down red head! Don't get your panties in twist!"

Erza blushed, "Be quiet and how rude!" Gray chuckled as he turned around, "Says the woman who is blushing." He pulled out his clothes and smiled in victory, "You were saying Miss Erza Scarlet?"

"Hand my ring over right now!" Gray thought for a moment, "Nah. What's the magic word?"

"If you don't hand it over right now I'll murder you in your sleep!"

"Good enough for me!" Gray said as he handed Erza the ring, "Bossy witch."

...

"NATSU! DON'T JUST THROW THE FINISHED APPLES ON THE FLOOR!" Lucy shouted as Natsu continued eating an apple then throwing it on the ground after finishing it. "But Lucy...the trash can is too faraway!" Lucy rolled her eyes, "Act all you want Natsu! I don't care! I'm not your mother!"

"I know you're not. My...my mother's dead." Lucy's eyes softened. She hugged Natsu and he stiffened.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know. My mother's dead too. So I feel your pain." Natsu frowned and nodded. "What about your dad?"

"My dad's still alive though. Yours?"

"N-no..."

:~In the Land of Covers~:

Mira walked down the streets of Clover, smiling at the people that passed by. She knew they would be nervous around her. She is after all from Diamonds.

As she entered a medicine shop, she walked in and bumped into a man with white hair the same color as hers, "I'm sorry sir! I didn't see you there!" Mira apologized as she helped him up. She gasped as she saw his face.

The man raised an eyebrow, "It's fine. It ain't manly apologizing you know. And...are...you okay?" Mira hugged the man, "So this is where you have been. In Clover. Look at you. All grown up already Elfman."

Elfman stiffened, "How do you know my name?"

"You see...I'm your older sister, Mirajane and you're younger sister Lisanna is ill. But I know she'd be happy to see you." Mira explained as tears streamed down her face. Elfman stood there, tears forming in his eyes. "Big...sis?..."

:~In the Land of Diamonds~:

"Hang in there Lady Lisanna. Lady Mirajane went to get the medicine from Clover. She'll be back any moment." Hibiki said as he held Lisanna's hand. Lisanna slowly opened her eyes, "You don't need...to call me Lady Lisanna. Just call me...Lisanna. How are things with...Cana...Hibiki?"

Hibiki blushed, "F-Fine! Nothing romantic but fine!"

Lisanna chuckled but it soon turned into a cough, "I...can tell you're disappointed by your friendship. Do you...wanna...be more then friends with...her?"

Hibiki blushed harder. Thinking of an answer, the door suddenly opened revealing Cana. "Lisanna. How are you feeling?"

"I'm alright. I'm...just...talking with Hibiki..." Lisanna smiled as she said in slow breaths. Cana nodded. Hibiki stood up and bowed then slowly stood up straight again, "Good afternoon, Lady Cana."

Cana blushed, "Oh Sir Hibiki! No need to be so formal with me!" They both chuckled while Lisanna shook her head shamefully at Hibiki with a playful smile. Though that smile disappeared as she looked out side. Three words to describe it. Dark, cloudy and windy.

:~Back to the Land of Jokers~:

"Idiot! What did you call me?!" Erza asked. When Gray ignored her, she decided to smack him in the head causing him to pin her against the wall.

"Look! You hate me! I hate you! Lets just get this over with so we can no longer be paired up! Understand?!"

Erza stared at him speechless. Here she was, pressed against the wall with a man's chest pressed against hers. And the other reason being that...SHE'S ENGAGED!

"I...understand..."

...

"His name was Igneel." Natsu said so quietly. Lucy nodded. She shivered as the cold wind hit her bare arms. Natsu sighed and shivered as well, "I want warm weather! Screw the fucken cold weather!"

Lucy giggled, "Hahaha. That's better. Don't let that funny attitude go away."

Natsu blushed and looked away. "Why are you so weird?"

"I'm trying to cheer you up!"

...

Gray and Erza walked quietly down the stoned paths. A short, chubby man with a bushy mustache walked up to Erza, "Are you by any chance Lady Erza?" Erza nodded while Gray raised an eyebrow.

"You are needed back at Diamonds. Lady Cana awaits."

"Very well." She turned to Gray, "It was nice getting to know you, Sir Gray."

"And you as well, Lady Erza." Gray said. He felt odd not arguing with her. He watched her walk away and sighed. He hadn't noticed the small man by his side. "Ooo...I see you already miss her presence."

Gray almost chocked on his breath. When he managed to calm down, he looked at the man, "What did you say?! I would never!" The man scoffed, "Yeah right. Too bad. She's engaged." Gray somewhat felt disappointed. "To who?"

"Jellal Fernandez."

The two men turned around to see Lucy walk up to them with Natsu. "She's engaged to the Diamonds' King?"

"Yup."

:~Back in Diamonds~:

Mira walked up the stairs to see Erza arrive. "Erza! Hi!"

"Mira! Where's Cana?!"

"She's in Lisanna's room. That's where I'm heading right now."

...

"Hold on Lisanna. You're going to be alright." Cana said as she held Lisanna's hand while Hibiki held the other. Lisanna nodded and soon started coughing again. The door burst open and Erza and Mira came in panting. "What's wrong?!"

"It's Lisanna. She just won't stop coughing!"

Mira, knowing what was happening, walked up to Lisanna and sat next to her. As Lisanna made eye contact with her, Mira found out she knew as well. "Mira-nee..." Lisanna said softly as Mira looked sadly at her. "I know..."

Mira sniffed and smiled softly, "Guess who I say today..."

"...Who?"

"Elfman." Lisanna smiled and tears flowed down her cheeks, "Elf-neechan?"

Mira nodded, "Yeah...he was so happy. He wanted to see you, but he was disappointed to hear about your illness..."

Lisanna let the tears continue falling while she continued smiling, "I...would've loved...to ...meet...him...too..." Lisanna closed her blue eyes slowly and her smile slowly disappeared. Mira let her tears finally fall. She buried her head in her arms while she still held her young sister's pale lifeless hand.

She whimpered while the three people in the room stared sadly. Erza looked at Mira. "What did she do to deserve this..." she whispered.

Meanwhile, Cana buried her face in her hands while she cried silently. She felt arms wrap around her and didn't even bother to look up. She knew it was him. Hibiki stroked her brunette hair while she cried.

"Lisanna..." Mira whispered while crying.
