-Chapter 7 : Returning A Favor-
"why did you help me with Natsu-sama?" Yukino asked, she sat up and stared at Lisanna.
"wait a minute" Lisanna raised her hand signed for "hold on", she still panted from exhausted.
Yukino stood silent her eyes still stared at Lisanna, once Lisanna recovered she stood up and stared at Yukino.
"is it normal for a best friend to help each other?" Lisanna smiled, Yukino silent for a moment her eyes never leave Lisanna.
Yukino took something inside her cloack, apparantly it's a brand new silver key.
"gate of detector, i open thee. Caelum" Yukino summoned her key, then a silver big ball appeared.
The appearance just like usual Caelum but this one looks like have different ability, Yukino commanded it to transform and it transformed into a screen.
Then Yukino commanded it to scan Lisanna, Lisanna just stared with confused when she about to ask what's going Yukino spoke up first.
"say, Lis-sama. Is there any particular reason you help me with Natsu-sama?" Yukino asked with her straight face, her eyes looking at the screen in front of her.
Lisanna confused even more, 'why suddenly Yukino asked that' she thought.
"just helping my friend, is there something wrong with that?" Lisanna asked.
Sign "O" appeared on Caelum screen, Lisanna can't see it since Caelum back blocked her to see it.
"nope, did you force to help me with Natsu-sama? Yukino asked again.
"w-what? No, i did that just because i want to help you" Lisanna raised her voice tone, a bit nervous.
Sign "X" appeared on Caelum screen, Yukino just nodded.
"em... i see" Yukino clered her throat.
"Yu-chan, what with you all sudden?" Lisanna frowned.
"oh... nothing in particulary, just wondering" Yukino rolled her eyes.
"just wondering?" Lisanna said as if her head grow two head.
"say, Lis-sama. Do you like Natsu-sama?" Yukino asked bluntly.
Lisanna jumped up from surprised "w-what? O-of course as a..."
"not as friend" Yukino cut off "the other way"
Lisanna face flushed try to hide her embarrassment.
"j-just a friend! Nothing more" Lisanna tried to convinced Yukino, but it turned to...
Sign "X" appeared on Caelum screen, Yukino cracked smiled. 'now it's clear',Yukino thought.
Yukino closed Caelum gate and told Lisanna to take a seat on the grass beside her.
"now come to thing of it, Lis-sama how long did you know Natsu-sama? And how did you know so much about him?" Yukino asked, but much just to looking for some subjects.
"oh yeah i never told you that, well from where i should begin with." Lisanna put her finger on her chin tried to thinking from where she should tell Yukino.
"i got it, from..."
Lisanna started to tell her story from she joined Fairy Tail right a year after Natsu joined, she helped Natsu with Happy when he was still an egg, then she became closer to Natsu, played little family with Lisanna as mother Natsu as father and Happy as a son, she went on a few jobs together, she fishing with Happy and Natsu, she helped Natsu with Natsu and Happy house, she got suck up with Anima to Edolas, met up with Fairy Tail Edolas, reunion with Natsu, Happy and her siblings again, returned to Earthland to her Fairy Tail, And many more.
Yukino listened to Lisanna with Full enthusiastic, she giggled few times and asked with the part that she didn't understand.
She also learned one important thing, if without Tenrou Island incident Lisanna would be older than Yukino.
Before the Tenrou Island incident the gap between Lisanna and Yukino age are 4 years, with Lisanna 16 and Yukino 12.
And now thanks to 7 years Fairy Sphere, Yukino is the older one.
Few months after Tenrou Island incident Lisanna turned 17, Yukino is 19.
Yukino looked up, the day almost dark it must around 5 AM now.
Both of them didn't realized their conversation took that long, after all that conversation Yukino thought about something.
She thought about an idea.
"Lis-sama, can you do me a favor?" Yukino got up.
"what is it Yu-chan?" Lisanna got up too.
"stop baby me ok, i'm ok now. You've done enough to comfort me" Yukino smiled at Lisanna.
Lisanna surprised to hear Yukino said something like that, she looked down with sad smiled she got no word come out from her mouth.
"now i want you to go home and rest, must be tired tagging along with me all day"
Lisanna looked up "n-no, i don't. I'm willin..."
"please" Yukino cut off Lisanna sentence "go home, get some rest. I guess you'll need it tomorrow" Yukino turned around and walked away.
"now i got to go, i need something to take care of" Yukino waved her right hand in the air "don't worry i won't do something stupid"
Lisanna just smiled at Yukino not saying any word, maybe Yukino right.
She need to go home and rest, she haven't get any good quality rest recently.
Wait a minute, Lisanna thought.
'what was Yukino meant by i will need it for tomorrow?', Lisanna thought
Lisanna was about to asked Yukino but Yukino was already nowhere to see.
Lisanna tried not to think about it, she turned around and started to walk her way to her house.
She'll say to Mirajane later her excused why she got home early.
Later on, at Fairy Tail Guild.
It was already evening, Yukino entered the Guild with some hope.
She hoped that, that "man" is still in the Guild.
She glanced to all over Guild Hall, after few seconds glanced over and finally...
There he is, he was sitting without with his team around right now.
He was eating a dinner at Guild Bar with Happy, perfect time.
Yukino approached him slowly, suddenly her heart raced up and her face flushed red.
Doesn't matter how densed Natsu to Yukino, Yukino still love him.
But she put that aside now and gather all her courage to talk to Natsu, she got something more important to do.
"Natsu-sama" Yukino called Natsu, Natsu turned around with mouth still eating his food and face Yukino.
"oh Yukino, what is it?" Natsu said.
"can you come with me for a moment, just few minutes" Yukino tried to keep her cool when she talked to Natsu.
"sure, but wait for i finish with my food ok" Natsu turned back to continued his activity.
"all right" Yukino took a seat next to Natsu.
Mirajane saw Yukino alone and asked where Lisanna is.
Yukino told her that Lisanna went home early to get some rest.
Mirajane just smiled and told Yukino not to hesitate to order some drink or food, after that Mirajane continued with her job.
Few minutes Later, Natsu finished with his food, he eat a fire then drank a water.
Natsu turned to face Yukino who waited for him from before and asked what is all about.
Yukino got and told Natsu to follow her outside, Natsu asked nothing and just followed her.
He told Happy to stay at the bar an ordered some food but most of it of course it's fish, he also tol Happy he'll come back later and Happy replied with "Aye, sir".
Outside Guild around the swimming pool.
Once Yukino and Natsu arrived outside Yukino sat on a bench, Natsu sat across her.
"so what is it Yukino?" Natsu asked with full wondering.
"i-i would like to made a bet... through a game" Yukino spoke up with all her courage to fight her nervous.
"A bet? What kind of game you want to play?" Natsu got curious.
"don't worry it's one of your speciality, you said it yourself few days ago" Yukino pointed at Natsu.
"spelling word" Yukino put her hand down.
"oh yeah, that. I'm good in that, Lucy taught me" Natsu grinned widely.
'There he goes again', Yukino rolled her eyes. Her heart felt a bit ache but she must hold it right now, she got to focus on what she do right now.
"ok here is the rule, there's 10 words you need to spell, i'll ask one by one you must spell it under 3 seconds correctly. You got twice chance and if you say any other word except what i asked you lose, understood?" Yukino gave serious face, actually serious straight face.
Natsu just smiled widely and nodded, but before they start Natsu asked what would he got if he won.
Yukino leave it to Natsu to decide.
Natsu exclaimed if he won Yukino would treat him again in some fancy restaurant, Yukino said ok with it.
"then what would you want if you win?" Natsu crossed his arms on his chest.
"me? I think about it later. I don't think i will win but i try not to lose" Yukino said.
"shall we began?"
"bring it!" Natsu cleched his fist.
"dragon!" Yukino said.
"D-R-A-G-O-N" Natsu spelled.
"firework!"
"F-I-R-E-W-O-R-K" Natsu spelled.
"Exhausted!"
"E-X-H-A-U-S-T-E-D" Natsu spelled.
"umbrella!"
"U-M-B-R-E-L-L-A" Natsu spelled.
"exhibition"
"E-X-H-I-B-I-T-I-O-N" Natsu spelled.
Yukino put her finger on her chin, Natsu grinned proudly he thought Yukino tried to think some difficult word.
Suddenly Yukino gave him mischievous smiled.
"hm... correct" Yukino said with low voice.
"C-O-R-R-E-C-T" Natsu spontaneously spelled, not realized it was Yukino tricked.
"i didn't i asked you yet" Yukino smirked.
"WHAT! But you were said..." Natsu was about to protest but cut off by Yukino.
"i said, hm... correct. Which is mean all your spelled before were corrected" Yukino one finger up "and that was your first mistake, you got one more left and 5 words left to spell. Becarefull Natsu-sama" She put her finger down.
"erg... Ok Ok! I still got one more change" Natsu grunted annoyedly.
"shall we continue?" Yukino said, Natsu nodded with serious face.
"wardrobe!"
"W-A-R-D-R-O-B-E" Natsu spelled.
"mountain!"
"M-O-U-N-T-A-I-N" Natsu spelled.
"beautiful!"
"B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L" Natsu spelled.
"exchange"
"E-X-C-H-A-N-G-E" Natsu spelled.
This is it the last one, Natsu thought.
But in the other hand, it's time for Yukino's final tricked.
"wrong!" Yukino pointed at Natsu.
"what?! In what part i was wrong?" Natsu shouted and got up.
"Natsu-sama" Yukino put her hand down "i was asking "wrong" word, not tell you that you were wrong" Yukino smirked, Natsu froze. " and there was your second mistake and now you lose"
Natsu just whining and cursed to himself that he just lost, on one side Yukino felt so sorry with Natsu on the other hand it was funny to see Natsu like that.
After few minutes Natsu finally calmed down and sat back on a beach acroos to Yukino.
"you've won, what do you want?" Natsu said.
"i want you to..."
Next day, morning around 9 AM.
Lisanna entered the Guild, she glanced all over the Guild hall but can't find Yukino.
She tried to ask her sister but Mirajane said she haven't see her yet either.
Lisanna decide to wait, may Yukino just a bit of late, Lisanna thought.
Few minutes later, someone that Lisanna unexpected approached her.
That was a man, he grabbed Lisanna wrist without word and dragged her to quest board.
Lisanna was about to protest.
"hei Natsu, what's wrong dragging me without any single word?" Lisanna frowned.
"say, Lisanna..." Natsu let go Lisanna wrist and looked away tried to hide his blushing cheeks "if you, i and Happy went for a job together again what kind of job that will fit with us?"
"ha? Anything would be fine, why do you asking that?" Lisanna asked confusedly.
"i'm just saying that... it's been while we go for a job together, how about we go for a job together again just you, i and Happy?" Natsu put his hands on back of his head still looked away.
"what, you serious? How about your team" Lisanna still not believing what she just heard.
"of course i'm serious and i told them i just want to go for a job alone with Happy" Natsu rose his voice tone and put his hand down "so, you want to come?"
"em..." Lisanna nodded in excitement.
"all right, so it's settled. How about you the one who pick up the job?" Natsu smiled.
"you sure?"
"yes"
"anything will do?"
"yeah, quickly"
"ok, then..." Lisanna searched for the job sheets that took her interest, but she also thought about Natsu too.
She doesn't want to make Natsu uncomfortable with her, it's rare chance that Natsu want to go for a job with her.
"this!" Lisanna took a job sheet.
"ok then, now let's get Happy and confirm this job to Mira" Natsu said.
Natsu and Lisanna pick up for Happy along with Natsu stuff then they told Mirajane to confirm the job that they took.
Mirajane gave Lisanna a backpack, Mirajane was always prepared it just in case if Lisanna would go for out of town job.
After that Natsu, Lisanna and Happy walked out from the Guild to go to Magnolia Train station.
When at Outside Lisanna spotted Yukino stood leaned her back againts the wall, she told Natsu and Happy to go ahead.
Lisanna approached Yukino and greeted her, Yukino greeted her back she stood up back away from the wall.
"Yu-chan, i'm so sorry. I can't tag along with you today. Natsu suddenly asked me to go for a job together with Happy" Lisanna gave sorry face and looked down "i'm so sorry"
"why are you apologizing for, it doesn't matter to me if Natsu went for a job with anyone" Yukino smiled.
"but..." Lisanna looked up.
"it's all right, i'll be mad if you turned down Natsu-sama invitation" Yukino held her hands and gave something to her.
"what is this Yu-chan?" Lisanna looked to her hand, it was a folded paper.
"don't read it now, if you want to read it read it on your way to train station. Just don't read it in front of me" Yukino smiled.
"o-ok... but you sure you o..." Lisanna was cut off by Yukino.
"i'm ok, now go. Don't make Natsu-sama waiting for you, Lis-sama" Yukino said with straight face.
Lisanna hugged Yukino, she pulled away and walked away with her right hand waved in the air Yukino waved back.
'i hope this won't go wasted'
After few minutes walked Lisanna now catched up with Natsu and Happy, she still curious with what is on the paper about.
Lisanna didn't too hurry she walked normally since they'll wait the train anyway once they got to train station.
Lisanna took the folded paper from her jeans pocket, she unfolded it and read it.
Her foot steps got slowly, slowly until she stopped. Natsu and Happy still continued their steps and leave Lisanna behind.
Lisanna looked down to the paper with teary eyes, tried to hold her tears from came down.
"af i would cry, Yu-chan" Lisanna said in slow voice tone.
Natsu and Happy looked back and shouted at Lisanna to hurry up, Lisanna looked up and smiled widely and ran after them.
'thank you... Yu-chan'
The paper from Yukino was...
