Chapter 8

"NO!" Natsu yells. I sigh. I should've known he would be like this. I love how protective this dragon of mine is but it can also be a tiny bit annoying. Wait. This dragon of mine?! Did I just think that?! No! No Lucy! Remember, he left you behind! You haven't talked about it which means you can't forgive him yet! Gah! This isn't the time! Focus!

"Natsu. . ." I start but he cuts me off. "I just found you Luce! I am not loosing you again!"

Oh Natsu. The things you say makes my heart race and fill me up with joy but it also hurts because I'm just nakama to you. You make it so easy to forget that you're not mine. I wish you would stop doing that. I take another deep breath to calm myself. "You aren't going to loose me Natsu. But I need to know what is going on with me and I can't leave here so I need you to help me."

"I'm obviously going to help you Luce but I'm not leaving you." Natsu states with a roll of his eyes. I smirk and think up a new plan, "Remember that huge bird you nearly roasted?" Natsu nods. "He can create portals. He'll create a portal to Fairy Tail where you can give Levy the book and then come back instantly."

That plan brought a smile to his face. "As long as I can always come back to you real quick then I'm happy."

I smile back and hand him the book. I then whistle and Lasbar flies over and lands right behind me. We watch as he shrinks to a more portable size before flying over and landing on Natsu's shoulder. One of his heads turn and his eyes flash. We watch a portal swirl into life and I couldn't stop the tears of joy from hearing Fairy Tail. He did it. He brought everyone back together. I knew he could. Natsu has a way of making the impossible possible.

~Natsu~

My body felt weird going through the tunnel, that tingly sensation similar to how Lucy always makes me feel whenever I'm around her but I prefer her tingles to this. One moment I was with Lucy and the next I was in Fairy Tail with everyone looking ready for a fight but once they saw it was me they relaxed.

"God damnit Salamander!" Scrap metal yells.

"What happened with the demons, flame-ass?!" Stupid frozen fairy shouts.

"Shut it! I found My Lucy! Turns out those demons did know about My Lucy so they took me to her. But she can't come home and I'm here to give this book to Levy so she can help her come home faster." I explain. My eyes scan the crowd and when I see Levy, she's luckily close by, so I shove the book in her hands and announce with a big smile on my face, "Well here you go Levy! Time to help My Lucy so that she can come home to me faster!"

She takes the book and examines it carefully before she opens it. Her eyes widen and she instantly rushes to the library.

"Well, time to go back to My Lucy!" I shout and turn back towards the portal when an irritating voice fills my ears.

"Hold it lava lips! You aren't the only one who wants to help out Lucy! I'm coming too!" That stupid stripper just had to make himself look like a good friend, didn't he? Just couldn't let me have Luce all to myself, could he? Not like I would let him or any man have her anyway. I've decided when I was on that year long training trip that I would make it known to her and to everyone that Lucy is mine and mine alone. Now that I'm finally strong enough to not only protect her but also any children we will be having, it's finally time to claim my mate. I've waited long enough.

"Natsu! I want to see Lushi too!" Happy cries as he flies into my chest. I think about how happy Lucy would be when she sees Happy again and answer, "Of course you can come Happy! I know Lucy misses you too." I look around and call, "Who else wants to go see Lucy?" Erza, Wendy, Carla, Iron Head, and also Ice princess steps up. If I didn't know for sure that Luce would be happy to see them then I wouldn't have bothered. The things I do for that mate of mine. "Now hurry up! I don't want to keep My Lucy waiting!"

I step back through the portal, not bothering to see if the others are following or not. The first thing I notice is that My Lucy isn't where I left her. The portal closes behind us and the bird flies off. I can hear the others prepare for a fight when the demons surround us with curiosity in their eyes. I quickly turn around and tell them, "Don't touch any of them. You hurt them, you hurt My Lucy!" I couldn't help but growl angrily at the end. I couldn't help it. Just the thought of anyone of anything hurting Luce drives me insane! It's just as bad as when someone makes her cry!

They slowly drop their fighting stance but they don't drop their guard. I don't really blame them. I know I would be the same if I didn't know for certain that they wouldn't do anything to My Luce.

The demons start following us with some hesitation. Have they never seen people before or is Luce the only one they've been around. Lucky bastards.

"What is going on? What are all these demons doing here?" Erza demands. I'm not paying attention to her though. I'm too busy following that wonderful scent that only Lucy can carry.
