Happy New Year!

I wonder how I should rate the genre for my fic. It seems like a romance, but yet not exactly, it is not humour and it doesn't look like angst or hurt/comfort with the story at the moment. You will understand when you read on.


Chapter 6: Lucy's worries

As the Princess of Fairy Tail, Lucy was very popular among the guys. Many guys wished to woo her much to her annoyance. That was why she was glad to have Leo's help even though it was temporary. However, there was an exception; she was never able to get along with Gray. Ever since Gray first laid eyes on her, he harboured dislike towards her and she did not even know why?

Lucy sighed as she thought about it. She had just sent Gray out of her house after answering his enquiries. She was actually honest to own up everything about her and Leo's love affair was a fluke to scare off all her admirers. Her house was finally quiet so she could finally get settled down to bath and to write a letter to her sister.

Who would have known that there was another intruder? She pulled him over as she caught him hiding in her house. It was Happy.

Happy was here to ask Lucy for help as usual thanks to Gray who was always after the Exceed whenever he started to spread rumours about him. He needed to hide himself from Gray who seemed to want to kill him anytime. Lucy on the other hand was grateful to Happy for his help spreading rumours about her "relationship" with Leo so that she could get away from all the admirers.

Lucy nodded as she listened to Happy attentively about how Gray was planning to cook him in fish soup, frying him in pan together with fish, cutting him up with the sashimi etc. That was how bad their relationship was. They were at each other throats all the time. Lucy decided that it was time to sleep and she sent Happy off through the window when she noticed a piece of paper which would fall off his bag if gone unnoticed. Lucy picked up the letter which was addressed to her.

She was surprised as she read through the letter and Happy actually thought it was a fan letter for him to cheer him on for his ultimate news scoop. Just as Happy was reciting proudly on all his investigation someone kicked opened the door.

It was Gray again.

Happy hid behind Lucy immediately afraid that he had heard his story and wanting to come and make him into sashimi for supper.

Gray was panting anxiously.

"Have you seen Natsu around?" He asked Lucy anxiously as he finally caught his breath startling Lucy and Happy. Lucy was confused as she shook her head.

"What happened to Natsu?" she asked.

Gray replied very quickly, "I just went to his house and found a letter from him. Natsu said he is leaving Magnolia, and he is not coming back for the time being."

"Why?"

"I don't know it was too sudden, everybody is worried and is looking for him all over the street now. I heard from the rest that he was acting weird lately."

"Natsu, are you here?" Elfman shouted. "Come out here at once if you are a man!"

Even Titania of Fairy Tail, Erza Fernandes who happened to drop by the guild that day came in to help in the search. "Natsu, where are you?" She shouted looking out from the roof.

"Natsu!" They determined to turn the town upside down to find Natsu.

Gray asked Lucy for assistance to search for Natsu as he ran off with Happy join in the search.

Lucy watched as Gray and Happy left her house shutting the door with a loud thud. She was deep in thought. Natsu left her a letter with the same content. How would he specially write a letter for her when he had written one for everyone else?

"Could it be he really…?"
