Yay, finally up to the 7th chapter! That's my favorite number, well other than one million six hundred and seventy five :P I'm going to change the summary slightly now that I know more of what's going on.
Please review, every time I see a new review before or after school, it instantly makes me smile :) Oh and I'm going to take a poll of NaLu and LaLu, review what one you want or even add other couples you want like oc x oc or Lucy and somebody else. Be creative.
Natsu continued to laugh at Laxus as he walked over to Lucy.
"Is he seriously going to get me?" She looked around him to see Laxus.
"Nah, I think he's going to try to get his pride back another way." She smiled at the idea. "You remember the day that you were taken away?"
She could remember it clearly, walking home, being taken to Hargeon and told that she was a god. Who wouldn't remember, she nodded in response.
"The week after, I couldn't stand it. For a moment I thought I was so close to finding you but that fire god guy made me go back." It was quite weird, Lucy swore she had seen him shiver. "I know that you know what loss feels like, but the fact that I didn't know where you went made it even worse."
She grabbed his wrists and started to swing his arms with hers, "I'm so sorry that I had left you and I had no way of talking to you since I was on an island miles away from land, but I had to leave. The power inside of me was beginning to become painful. I had to leave."
He moved his arms around with her, "I guess I'm getting a bit off track here, I didn't want to complain about the week that went by, it was the day that you left. I had finally come up with the guts to ask you and I never really go to finish what I was going to say."
She looked up to him, confusion filled her, "Then what wa... LAXUS!" She ducked a bucket of water that was thrown at her, bucket and all.
"Damn, I missed. Come on Blondie, I want payback for the dress."
Natsu started to shake, "Damn it lightning freak, I'm trying to talk to her!"
Laxus smirked, "I'm not moving so either I'm going to hear it or nobody does." He laughed at Natsu's rage, he hadn't noticed the ball of fire heading towards him.
It struck him in the face, he turned and glared at Natsu, his cheek scorched. "You are sooo going to die for that." Lightning struck Natsu and soon enough, they were both fighting. Lucy had enough of it.
She looked at the boys, they fell to their knees and their magic depleted, "God, you're acting like kids."
"Sorry," they both murmured.
"You better be." Lucy walked over to the fire and chucked some wood on, "Hey, we kind of need some food. You guys want to go look for some fish or something?"
Laxus pushed himself up and crossed his arms, "Why do we have to find it?"
"Because I'm going to cook it."
Natsu also got up, "Why don't I cook it, that would be way faster."
"You will just set it on fire, I've been eating Jamaga's food for a week, trust me, I'm pretty much sick of burnt food."
"Ok then." Natsu wandered off into the bush, but Laxus had stayed behind.
"Are you going to be ok by yourself?"
She looked up at him, "Yea, but since when did you care?"
"I don't want anything to happen to you and I promised Master that I will protect you no matter what."
Lucy took her gaze away from him but smiled, "Thanks, It's always nice to know somebody is out there for you."
"Well, I better go get some food, it's starting to get dark." He walked off, leaving Lucy alone.
She chucked another piece onto the fire before walking into Afza's cabin, she took his note off of the bed and pulled his mattress up. She had heard that one of the boys hid some pancake mix under their bed and she seriously wanted pancakes. There was nothing so she tried checking under Jamaga's mattress. She pulled herself up onto his bed to find a note, just like Afza's but this one was longer.
Blondie,
I had a feeling that something would happen, I know the others feel it too, both me and Afza are writing notes to help you. I had spent about 17 years of my life with the other gods. There is Dike, Mino, Crius, Pollux and Castor. When I was with them, they would over power me. Only when I was with the gods you know was I able to knock one of them out. But that was only one of them.
When I was 6 years old, all of the gods lived in the god realm together. We were talking about how you went missing, after a bit of research we had found out that you were born as a human. Dike didn't believe that it was a mistake, he thought the humans had stolen you. He gathered his group, which included me and we went to the south of the god realm, where there was a portal to earthland.
With this portal, it could only be used once in a certain amount of time. The other group which was led by Gira had gotten there first and promised that they would find you. They never did, about 1 year later we didn't want to wait any more. Dike said that the humans had stolen them to use against us, since he was our leader we believed him. We all went to earthland and took out many of the humans but we never found you or the other gods.
We believed that we could find you if we killed all the humans. We lived like this for years, until we had found Gira's group. I was 17 then, he had informed us that you were alive but trapped in an island. Dike didn't know how to take the news, he became madder than usual. He knew there was no need to keep looking but he had fallen in love with death. The feeling of killing another filled him like a drug.
Dike had been overcome with power, I left him after Ianaha had invited me to his group but the rest stayed with Dike. We don't know what happened in the last 7 years but we know that they possess death magic.
This is really all that I know about them that I can actually put into words, please keep this in mind as you help us fight. I know you love humans as much as the rest of the group so why not defend them.
Jamaga (Jam)
Lucy put the note down and took in the words, why would Jam tell her his life story? It may have helped her figure out the reason why the gods had split in two and it did kind of help her figure out why Jam had such a bad side to him. She shrugged it off. She could figure it out later.
Lucy walked back outside and went into the other boys cabin, there was nothing. No notes and no pancake mix.
It was weird, being on the island with Natsu and Laxus. She kept expecting Afza to take her training or Nasha to drag her to the healing pool. She wondered what they were doing. Were they getting ready to fight Dike and the other gods? Or were they going to leave it to her?
Something, wait no scratch that someone picked her up. "AHHH."
"Woah, calm down Blondie, You were about to walk into the fire." She looked over at where she was standing before, right in front of the fire.
"Oh, um thanks."
He put the blond down, she mumbled her thanks and sat down.
"So I managed to get us a fish, that lizard back yet?" He pulled out a large trout.
"Um no, well I don't think so."
He raised her eyebrows at her, "You think so? How could you miss a ball of flame like him."
"I was searching the cabins, I found a note from Jam, wait a sec I'll go get it."
She ran off into the cabin and came back out a second later and passed the slightly scorched piece of paper to me. "Here."
He took a while to read it but soon he had finished the large letter and put it down away from the fire.
"Dike doesn't seem like a guy you would want to mess with."
"Well he's the only person we have good info on right now. We only know the powers of the other gods not their intentions or anything."
They remained silent for a bit until Laxus chucked something onto Lucy's lap, she looked down, "What's th... WHY IS THERE A FISH ON MY LAP!"
"Well you did say you're cooking."
"Well you did say you're cooking. I know, you just don't need to put a fish on my lap."She picked it up and grabbed a metal stick off of the ground. Shoving it through the fish, she began to roast it.
"I guess that's payback for the dress then." She growled at him, "I'd still like to see you drunk."
"With what beer?" She looked around at the empty area.
"Well I am a lightning mage, I could just go and get some from a store and be back in a minute."
"You mean that you and Natsu did not have to go off and find food?"
He chuckled, "Forgot about that. So what you say, I go get something to drink and you cook that fish, seems fair?"
"Sure, but I'm so not paying you back for the beer."
"I would have never asked for that anyway." He flashed away and appeared in front of a store, quickly running inside, he got a case and went back to the island after paying.
"You're pretty fast, the fish is almost cooked."
He was chasing after a rabbit, it had been half an hour and he still was running.
"Get here you damn fur ball I'm hungry!" Natsu heard his stomach growl, as if it was some form of motivation, he ran even faster. After about 10 minutes he managed to jump onto the rabbit. "HA! You're mine now!"
His eyes widened as the rabbit became 20 times its size and soon he was running. He could attack it but it was a bunny and Lucy didn't want burnt food. He ran towards the campsite.
"LUCY!" She turned her head and stared at the rabbit that was chasing him.
"You know those rabbits are poisonous?"
His jaw dropped and he stopped. He looked at the rabbit, "poisonous bunny, well that one is new to me. Guess I can burn this one up."
He attacked the rabbit and it let off a gas of poison. His throat began to swell up and it was becoming hard to breath.
"Natsu, don't attack it! Just leave it alone or you will poison all of us!" He turned and saw Lucy slumping onto Laxus.
He motioned his arm to the bush and the rabbit left, becoming its normal size as it hopped away.
"Nice job you over grown lizard, you do know poison and fire never go well together."
Natsu ignored him as he took Lucy out of his grasp. "You ok?"
"Yup just wait a sec." She closed her eyes and Natsu felt the swelling go down and he could breathe again.
"Cool what was that?"
"Just some youth magic."
Laxus joined the little conversation, "How does youth have anything to do with that?"
"Hard to explain but I made you about one minute younger."
"OOOOHH can you make me little again so I can find Igneel."
"One, I can't do that and two, that's not how it works."
Laxus sat down and took the fish away from the fire. "Can we focus on the food, it seems to be ready."
They all sat down at took bits of fish for themselves. Natsu held his in the fire for a while longer and ate it with the flames still on.
"Don't eat the flames you dumbass."
"I'm a dragon slayer, it's what I do." He froze and looked at Lucy. "You're a god right, what do you eat?" His eyes widened, "It better not be babies!"
"What no! I would never eat a child. I eat new things. Like plants or newly made metals. Stuff like that."
Laxus held a bit of lightning in his hand, it sparked but stayed intact. "This is a bit of lightning I just created, can you eat it?"
"Don't know I've never actually tried eating anything like that." She pulled his hand towards her and bit the lightning. After a little shock she seemed fine. "Guess I can."
Laxus looked at her in shock, "I can't believe you actually ate my lighting."
Natsu agreed.
"Looks like you're finished eating so how about you finish what you promised." Laxus chucked her a can and grinned at Natsu.
"NO! You've never seen the terror that is drunk Lucy."
She opened the can and took a sip, "Oh shut up Natsu I'm peeeeeerrrfeeeectlyyyyyyy fiiiiiiii..." She fell onto the ground after one sip.
"Lucy?" Natsu picked her up "Oi wake up Lucy." He turned to Laxus, "What did you do!"
He raised his hands, "Nothing I swear!."
They both looked down at her. She was unconscious and her breath was slow and quiet even for their ears.
Laxus helped Nastu pick her up, "Shit."
As I said before, review what pairings you want in this. I don't know if it should be NaLu or LaLu so comment which one. Also comment any other pairs. My friend had said Nasha x Jamaga, I actually laughed at that one.
