I'm back loves! Sorry it took me so long to start updating, and everything. This is the real Part 7 in case you were wondering, I have no idea how 1 was posted twice. Anywho, Fairy Tail and all it's characters belong to Mashima, and I hope you enjoy.
When Lucy finally woke up, it was yet again to find Happy sprawled out on her stomach as well as Natsu and Gray sitting there bickering about something, but all she could make out of their stupid quarrel was something about icicle dicks and fire balls before she decided to break them up. "Shut it before I tie you to each other, and believe me when I say I tie a knot well enough to leave you two stuck to each other for at least the rest of my life."
That seemed to shut up the two vampires at least long enough for Lucy to wake up, and notice how much better she felt. "Alright I'm going to power through my homework, and then go to the dorms to get ready for class." Lucy spoke enthusiastically as Natsu played with Happy's face, and Gray sat down staring out a window. "Jeez you could at least pretend to be happy that I'm feeling better." Lucy mumbled more to herself than anyone else before getting started on her work.
When Lucy was happy with her work, she decided she would get out of the awkwardness of the environment Gray and Natsu had created, only to find herself being trailed by said vampires. "You two get up here in the next five seconds before I hurt you." The two scrambled up to Lucy pushing and shoving each other. "Okay you two what's going on you are both acting like idiots. You've been ignoring me all day, after clearly being in the middle of a fight, now your stalking me, when you could just walk with me like a normal person."
Lucy just sat there with her arms crossed for a while before deciding to drop the matter when no one would speak up. The three walked to the commons together, and somehow Gray and Natsu didn't even notice themselves following Lucy all the way into the dorms. "Alright you two I let you follow me this far. Now you are going to tell me what's going on."
"Let me! you didn't let me! I do what I want, and I wanted to follow you. Sides it's not like you could stop me if you wanted too." Natsu spoke arrogantly.
"That's not a good idea man." Gray said mostly to himself, but still loud enough for the two to hear him.
"What do you mean I couldn't stop you! I could fling you through this building right now if I want to!" Lucy flared at the two, "If you guys won't tell me what's going on then I swear I will scream at the top of my lungs for the dorm advisor, and you know she'll bring Erza. This is not regulated visiting hours, and both Mira and Erza will have your heads for dinner." Just as Lucy opened her mouth to scream her bedroom door swung open revealing her tiny room mate.
"Lucy!" Levy spoke excitedly.
"Shit that was a close call." Gray mumbled to a Natsu who was still frozen in fear.
"I've been so worried it's been almost a week since I've seen you." Levy stated causing Lucy to pause and look at the two boys still standing outside her door.
"A week you say. That can't be true I was only out for a day." Lucy said with an eerie tone to her overly soft voice.
Gray smacked his head, and Natsu looked around pretending to watch a fly, but failing miserably. "Did you two let me sleep for five days?" Lucy's tone started to sharpen a bit.
"It was Natsu's idea."
"Like hell it was my idea."
"You were the one who was like Lucy needs to rest, Lucy's over doing it, blah, blah, blah."
"I said no such thing. Lucy Gray just called you Blah."
Natsu, and Gray noticed Lucy's expression stiffen as she tried to say something, but all she let out was a squeak before she took a breath, and decided it would be best to calm down. "Alright, alright." Lucy stretched out an arm towards Natsu, Natsu looked at Lucy like she was growing something out of her head before taking her hand in both of his and shacking it vigorously with a big grin on his face. "You're welcome Lucy."
Lucy couldn't help but smile at him as Levy was sprawled out laughing, and Gray had face palmed himself yet again. "No Natsu, where's the rest of my homework?"
Natsu looked down Lucy's hand still in his as his face reddened a bit he managed to mumble a few words that Lucy couldn't make out for the life of her. "Come again?" Lucy questioned.
"That's flame brain speak for, he did the rest of it for you already."
"What'd you call me frost bite?!"
"You heard me flame tard!"
Lucy smiled at the two, "You did it for me?"
Natsu looked away sheepishly dropping Lucy's hand, "Yeah I did! It's only because you always make such a big deal about getting your work done, so I did what I could for you. It wasn't much just the stuff we had classes in together."
"Thank you Natsu."
"Awe jeez quit it I hate this mushy stuff. Don't thank me, just don't get hurt...-" Natsu looked to notice Levy still standing there, "I mean don't get sick like that again."
"You know for someone who's been passed out for a week I don't smell nearly as bad as I should." Lucy stated as she took a quick sniff at her pit to check for any BO.
Levy and Gray both blushed at this statement, but not Natsu as he smiled his biggest grin flashing it at Lucy pointing his thumbs at himself, "Cause I took care of ya."
Levy just shut the door leaving the three friends in the hallway not wanting to get caught up in what she knew was coming.
"Oh boy." Gray stated a little breathless at Natsu's stupidity.
"What do you mean by that." Lucy said still smiling not yet getting the picture. Gray just turned and hit his head against the wall out of shame of knowing two of the biggest morons in history.
"I made sure to keep you cleaned, and changed." Natsu said still smiling. However Lucy was not smiling in fact she was far from it.
Gray just put a hand on Natsu's shoulder, "It was nice knowin ya. I will promise to make an appearance at your funeral. I don't care for you much, but I respect you enough to make sure at least one person attends." Gray said softly.
"The fucks that supposed to mean snow ball?!" Gray just spun Natsu around towards Lucy not feeling the need to say another word before Natsu sprinted off with a raging Vampire slayer about to skin his hide.
"You saw!"
"I didn't look. I Promise!"
"Like hell you didn't! You fucking dressed me you pervert!"
"It's not like I wanted to! I would just rather not have you stinking up my house with your B.O.!"
"I'm gonna kill you!"
"But I like being alive!"
"You won't for long!" Suddenly Lucy was stopped from her rampage when she heard Levy call to her from the other end of the commons causing Lucy to put a stop to her man hunt, and for Natsu to follow out of pure curiosity.
"What is it?'
"Hey isn't your last name Heartfilia?"
"Yeah why?"
"I don't know if this has anything to do with you, but you should check it out your names on the news." Lucy turned up the volume on the television Levy was watching.
"Last night a young man around the age of ten, named Jeremiah Witt, was killed by a member of the Heartfilia clan in a battle of territory." Saying Lucy was pissed at the news she had just heard would be the understatement of the year, she wasn't just pissed, she was livid, and boy was she ready to make some heads roll. Natsu noticed Lucy's expression change as her body tensed he grabbed below her shoulder to try to bring her back down, but to no avail.
"Hey Luce?" Lucy looked at Natsu her face contorted a way he had never seen before nearly terrifying the boy before it softened again. "It'll be okay Lucy." Natsu said reassuringly rubbing his hand up and down her arm.
Once Lucy had calmed down she had stormed off to the nearest phone with Natsu and Gray not far behind before dialing home. "Oh, hello Virgo." Lucy said sweetly. "Yes I know. I know, but Virgo listen, did have you seen the news today? What happened is unacceptable, could you please put Ivan on the phone." Lucy said authoritatively.
It didn't take long for the phone to get to this Ivan guy, and now Natsu and Gray were almost closer to the phone than Lucy was, curious of what was to come. Lucy just smiled at the two before Ivan spoke, "Why Hello Lady Lucy."
"Ivan why don't you tell me what's going on?"
"Nothing your clan is thriving, and still on top...-",
"Cut the crap Ivan", Lucy spat. "Look I get that sometimes there will be turf battles, but an innocent child was murdered."
"Please Lady Lucy you must understand..-",
"No Ivan, no I don't. A child was murdered in cold blood, and I cannot let this happen, especially not when it is happening under my family's name, not when I know that I can prevent it ." Lucy said cutting Ivan off. "From now on every move you are to make comes to me first, and if I find that anything has been done from this point on without my say so, I swear I will have your heads on a platter." Lucy growled, "I will not have shame brought upon my family's name." Lucy said softly before hanging up the phone as the two vampires next to her swallowed the lumps of fear that were lodged in their throats.
Lucy simply smiled at the two vampires reassuring them that she was not as vicious a monster as she had just sounded. "Is everything gonna be okay Luce." Natsu said nervously.
"Yeah that sounded pretty intense." Gray spoke quietly.
Lucy rubbed the back of her neck sighing as the reality of the stress she was feeling hit her. "Yeah. It'll be fine. I just need to make sure they send someone from the estate to be my voice while I attend classes."
The two boys softened their expressions causing Lucy to soften a bit in return. "I'm going to get ready for my classes, and you two should probably do the same." Lucy said before walking past the two boys to head into her room
