Let me claim you .
What-
Let me overtake your will . Just for a day .
I asked ," Are you fucking sane ? " She looked at me with wide eyes . She said ," Yes , I'm sane and I'm fucking serious . " She definitely wasn't lying . I let go of her and she pushed herself away from me . She said ," I'm sorry , it was selfish of me to say that . I need to go . Bye . " She walked away . I couldn't miss this opportunity , although it meant giving my whole life to her . Then , I might as well kill her then kill myself after ! I grabbed her hand and said ," Wait ! I told you we need to talk . You can't just go like that ! " She pulled her hand downwards , my hand let go . She frowned at me and asked ," You would give up your life for someone like me ..? That's just absurd , Natsu . Are you even sane ? " She rolled her eyes at me and said ," I gotta go . "
" I'll do it . I'll be your mechanic , so just .. Bring me to Somet , please .. ! Lucy , please ..! "
Since Lisanna was a witch , there was a high chance of her being there as well . I could kill a bird with two stones . She stopped walking . I could tell she'd regretted what she had asked for . She didn't want me to be claimed by her , neither did I . I had to be claimed by someone I'd resented . It could be the worst day of my life .
We meet here tomorrow morning at 9 , got it ?
Okay .
Tell your father you might not be going home . It's going to be tough there , you also have to leave your sword here . But feel free to bring a knife with an engraved Genisys on it .
Okay .
Your words are short . Do you want me to leave that fast ?
Yes . I want this to be over quick , so I can take my revenge on you .
Well , it'd be weird if you didn't hate me . I'll be waiting for your revenge , Natsu Dragneel .
I witnessed her walk away . I walked home with mixed feelings . I opened my back door , only to see dad looking at me . He was folding his arms , he looked stern . He called ," Natsu . " I walked past him and asked ," What ? " I could hear his foot steps following mine . He said ," You met up with her , right ? " I stopped at my feet and turned around . I said ," Yeah . I'll be going on my mission to find Gray tomorrow . " I headed back to my room .
The next day
I was cooking breakfast when dad woke up . He said ," I smell breakfast .. Oh , Natsu . You're cooking .. WAIT WHAT ? NATSU , YOU'RE COOKING ?! " I haven't cooked for quite a while , and everytime I did .. It was a disaster . I said ," Don't worry dad . It won't be a disaster this time . Although I can't guarantee it's taste . " He walked to me and patted my shoulder .
I'm sorry , son .
For what ?
For not protecting your mother and having you to cook .
It's okay , dad . And why are you talking about this so suddenly ?
I just suddenly thought of it .
It'll be fine dad ! I'll cook it so that it'll taste nice !
He sighed and said ," You're as dense as ever .. " I didn't understand what he said . I just grinned at him and continued cooking . When I turned back to the food , it was already .. black . I was too focused on talking to dad that I'd forgotten about the food . Dad hit my head and said ," I do it ! You go and wait ! Idiot son .. ! "
After eating breakfast , I changed into my usual clothes and put on my scarf . Then I just remembered I had to bring a knife with Genisys engraved in it .
It was hard to engrave a Genisys' spiritual energy in any type of sword . It was really hard to obtain a high level of energy like Genisys . We had to concentrate on out energy for days , not eating nor sleeping . We meditated and increased our energy force field . As it increases , our energy level also increases . Once our spiritual energy reached the criteria , we transmute the energy into the sword , giving it all of our energy . But for me , it was a special case . I was 14 , and I was hunting for some food when I encountered a powerful witch . I was on the verge of death when I had found the strength and amout on concentration to take in all of the energy that surrounded me . I instantly used it and directly hit it on the witch . She was severely injured , I took up my sword and cut off her head . After that day , I was in a coma state for days . I didn't wake up for days . After I woke up , my sword already had Genisys in it . Dad told me I had transfered energy in it while I was sleeping . I found it strange . How did I manage to have the energy and concentration to take in all the energy around me instantly ? It was like someone gave it to me .
*knock*
I turned around and saw dad . He was playing with a knife , a melee . He threw it at me and I manged to catch it . " Use that . It's your mother's . She told me to give it to you when the time was right ," Dad said. I asked ," Cool . What level is this ? " He leaned on the wall and replied ," Light . "
" Light ?! Why- " I was honestly surprised . I didn't know that mom had a Light leveled sword .
" I know . I know . Your mother was a hell of a hunter . She was awesome and cool . That's what made me fall for her , " Dad said , smiling to himself .
" Are you being serious ?! She was a hunter ?! " I was really surprised by now . She had that kind and caring aura , I couldn't imagine her killing .
" Yeah . " Dad replied , he seemed sadder now .
I looked at the clock . I was late . Crap , I thought . I quickly put the melee into my bag pack and said ," Dad , I'm late . I needa go real fast . " I could hear his smile . I walked past him and said ," Bye . " I went out by the back door .
Lucy was folding her arms . She was annoyed . When I got in her sight , she shouted ," NATSU DRAGNEEL ! YOU ARE LATEE ! YOU SHOULD KNOW HATE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT PUNCTUAL ! Geez , now we're late for the appointment . " She turned her back and started walking . I followed her and said ," Your hatred towards me now can't be compared to my hatred towards you . " She didn't say anything . I asked ," What appointment are we going to ? " She looked at me and said ," My appointment . You wanted to see Lis , right ? She'll be there . We're having a meeting , discussing for some political matters . " I stopped , wanting to pull out my melee and ask for Lis back . She stopped and said ," I am not going to give Lis back any time now . And if you take out your melee , you're definitely not coming to Somet with me . So if feel free to take it out . It's your choice . " Lucy had always been a very sharp person , she seemed to notice everything . I walked and said ," Let's go . " Now , we were walking beside each other . For some reason , I was feeling weird . I was feeling excited , yet I was hating the moment right now .
Feeling weird ?
Yeah .
Knew it . You're making a very weird face right now .
She giggled to herself . I felt even weirder . I asked ," When are we gonna reach ? " She said ," Just a little more . " I tried memorising the woods . " Don't try to memorise it . The woods change everytime . Everyday . Only a witch knows where it is ," Lucy said , startling me .
How'd you know what I was doing ?
I know everything .
Yeah right . Then tell me what I'm feeling right now .
Your heart is telling you that you like this very moment . But your head is telling you that you hate this very moment .
You've gotta be kidding me .
I'm sort of kidding you .
Just then , she stopped and walked towards a tree . I followed her . She said ," Intrenisco . " The ground shook , I almost lost my balance when Lucy grabbed onto my hand . Her grip was firm , she didn't even lose her balance . Once the shaking stopped , she held my hand and led me down the dark cave . I tried to make her release my hand but she held on .
Stop trying to make me loosen my grip on your hand . You'll get lost in here without me .
Get lost ? Yeah right .
I can bring you here another time and you can try . But I'm in a hurry now .
In the dark , my creststone shone light and filled the cave with light . Lucy hit me with her other hand and said ," Stop that ! I'm burning , can't you see ? You're hurting me . " I asked ," So what if I am ? I can't see it the dark ! " She sighed and said ," Well , I can . I can see in the dark perfectly , so stop shining light . " I sighed and stopped my creststone from shining the light . I sighed annoyingly . She said ," Don't sigh yet . You can sigh for me later . " Just then , we reached the end of the cave . There was a door-like door , but it wasn't really one . Lucy said ," Witches will always be . " Suddenly , there was wind and it blew hard . Then , there was an tremendous amount of energy surrounding the door . The portal opened , creating a huge force field . Lucy walked in first , I followed her . I was in the portal , and it felt dizzy . After a while , I opened my eyes and found myself in a forest , lying in the grass .
" Natsu ! Wake up ! Natsu ! "
That was the voice that woke me up . Lucy's panicky voice . I said ," Lucy ..? " She hugged me and said ," You're alright ..! " I blushed . She pushed herself away , her hand still on my shoulder . She said ," Sorry . I forgot that you hated me . " I was feeling really weird . Our faces were still close , despite the fact that our bodies weren't . She used my shoulder and got up slowly . Once she got up , she offered her hand to pull me up . I was a little lazy to get up by myself , so I accepted her hand and she pulled me up . I guess I was a little heavy for her . When she pulled me up , she almost fell backwards , so I put my hands around her waist to prevent her from falling . Now, her face was on my shoulder , we looked like we were hugging . Concicidently , her face was on my creststone , it burnt her face . She pushed herself away from me and fell on the ground . She said ," Ouch. " I laughed at her clumsiness . She didn't even need to cast a healing spell , she just took algae from the tree nearest to her and put it on her face . It healed in seconds .
Yes , in Somet we don't need to cast healing spells , so stop looking so amazed .
Okay .. WE'RE ALREADY IN SOMET ?!
She looked at me and said ," Yes , dumb head . " She walked ahead and said ," Follow me . I'll show you the way to town . "
