If only for a moment

All of us were at the hospital once we've overheard the news. Levy, Wendy, Carla, Mira and I were in the waiting room. While, Gray, Gajeel, and Erza was heading for the room where Lyon and the others was at. I sit down still in bit concern about them. Then out the corner of eye, I see Mira sitting down all by herself. I went up to her and sat down beside her. "Mira, is there something wrong?" I asked. She said to me. "No. Nothing is wrong. I'm all right." She may look to be all right. But, her sad expression was something completely different. "Listen." I said to her. "If there anything you want to talk about you let me or any of us know all right?" Mira nodded at me in response.

"So, anyway, I overheard you planning something big for Fairy Tail." I said to her. She smiled. "Yes. The party I'm planning is going to be big. There's going to food, games, and something in store for ladies. But that's going to be a secret." I looked at her strangely. "Okay?" Mira continued. "Plus, Happy is coming out of the hospital on the same day. So, this is both a welcome home party for him." "Right." I said. How could I forget. Natsu, Clive and I were there to check on him. And I remember Natsu give him a scarf. W- Wait a minute. Why am I think about him? I know we just met. But, isn't it natural to think about somebody else, right?

Gray and others were running toward the room. "Hey, no running in the hospital!" A nurse yelled. "Sorry." Gray replied as he ran. They saw the room number 608. They saw a girl with blue hair and eyes. Gray automatically knows that person. "Juvia!" he yelled. Juvia turned her head. "Gray-sama!" she said as Gray gave her a hug. "Are you okay? How's Lyon?" he asked. "Take look for yourself." All four of them went inside. "Jura and Sherry suffered minor to critical injuries. But, Lyon suffered a whole a lot of damage. Many fractures and a broken wrist." she said. Gray was shocked by this Lyon was like a brother to him. "And you say wizard from the Hell Eagles did this?" said Erza.

"Yes. By the time the wizard form Lamina Scale received their message it was too late." Juvia continued. "Doctors said that they were lucky to be alive." Gray clenches his fists. "Damn it" he thought.

Meanwhile back at the waiting, Wendy and Cara was the gift shop getting some snacks. Then, Carla had a vision. Their guild was destroyed, many people dying, and Natsu was attacking Lucy. Carla gasped. "Carla, is there something wrong?" Wendy asked. Carla replied. " is wrong." Then ,she had her head down with a worry look on her face. "What's with this vision?" she thought. "Why 's Natsu attacking Lucy? Is it because of anger or maybe because of his Dragon Rage?"

Levy got up to her feet after she saw the steel dragon slayer. "So, how are they?" she said. "There in stable condition." He said. "Juvia was right. They are lucky to be alive." Levy had her head down for a moment. "So, I'm going to check on Blue Pegasus now." He said. "I'll go with you" she replied. "Besides, Freed and I analyze the cape Lucy found. And I think we know who our guy is." Seeing there was no choice in the matter. Gajeel let her come with him. And for some reason, he always felt drawn to the bookworm.

Speaking of Happy, I decided to go see how he was doing. I asked the nurse in the front desk to see. She said yes, and I went ahead. I reached there and I looked at the window and saw practicing his magic. "Why's he doing that while still being injured?" I said to myself. Then, I saw wings sprouting out of his body. He struggles to maintain his magic but to no avail. He was on the ground out of breath. I knocked on the door. "Come in." He said. I responded. "You shouldn't be doing that. You should at least rest up before you do it." Happy stare at me for a second. "I know you. You that girl I saw couple of days ago, right?" he said. I nodded. "It's Luigi…right?" "IT'S LUCY!" I yelled. "Okay. Okay. You don't have to be so loud." He said as he sat down in a chair.

"Anyways, what are you doing here?" he asked. "Well, Me, Mira, Erza, Wendy, and some others were…" Happy stopped me. "Wait. Do you say Wendy's here?" "Umm… Yeah." Then, Happy's face was flushed "That means Carla is here too right?" I smirked. "Why yes. "What the matter, Happy? Do you like her?" I rolled my tongue in the last part. "Shut up. You don't know that it like when you're getting nervous around someone you like." He yelled. And he was right I don't know …yet. "You right. I'm sorry." I said to him.

"Say, Lucy. How's Natsu?" he said to me. "Now that you mention it, I haven't seen him all day." I said. "He's probably relaxing in our new home right now. He better not any more fun without me." I laughed at that response. Then, we heard someone coming for the door. Happy quickly rushed back to his bed. The door opened and in walks in Wendy and Carla with some stuff for Happy. "Hey, Happy. We got you some flowers." said Wendy. They placed at Happy's bedside. "Are the chocolates for me, Carla?" he said with a giggle. "Shut up, you dumb cat." She yelled while her face was flushed. Wendy and Carla ended up laughing at them.

I looked up and saw there was a storm on the way. "Listen, Wendy, Carla, Could you tell the others that I'm leaving." I asked them. "Sure. That's not a problem." Said Carla. "See ya later, Lucy. Make sure you say to Natsu for me." Happy yelled. "Don't worry I will." I replied at him. As I headed for the entrance, I see Gray and Juvia talking alone in the hall way. I moved in the corner and listen in on all of it. "Juvia, why are you crying?" Gray asked. "Because, I was scared. I was scared enough that Lyon was hurt. If you in that state…I…I. Couldn't." Gray smiled at her. He hugged her ever so gently. "It okay. I'm here and that's all that matters, right?"

They both leaned in for deep passionate kiss. Gray knew that he was in love with Juvia. And he was damn happy about it. I looked over them for quick second. Then, I turned back and walked with a sad look on my face. "Must be really lucky to be them." I thought to myself.

I was on street running to get home. Then, the heavy rain started to pour down really hard. Already know that I should have brought my umbrella, I just ran as quickly as I could. Then, a lightning bolt strike down so hard. That it made me lose my balance. I fall to the ground body first to the floor. I got up and I realize that knee was bleeding really bad. With no point of going back in this weather, I tried to walk as fast as I can from the rain. When, A man that I really don't know about coming over and talk to me.

"Hey, there. I've been looking all over for you.' He said to me. 'Umm… I'm sorry. Do I know you?" I said to him. He looked at my body. "Well, that's a nice figure you got there." I looked at him strangely. I ignore him and went on my way. Suddenly, he grabs my wrist tightly. "Come on, let have fun." he said to me. I tied to let go my hand. But to no effect. He dragged me to a nearby alley. "No. Don't tell I'm going to be… raped?" I thought. I continued to struggle until someone free my hand. "Hey, the hell are you doing to me?" the man said. I looked up and saw a man put an arm lock on him. The man looked to me and said. "There you are. I've been looking all over for you, Lucy." I recognized the pink hair and scarf anywhere. "Natsu." Natsu let go of the man. "Who the hell are you, freak?" he said to the salamander. Natsu glare at him. "Who the hell you calling a freak, jackass."

Natsu glare at him until he the man was startled at him. "Please that don't scare me." Then, Natsu drove his fiery fist into the wall that really jumped the man. "Does that scare you now?" he said to the man that was shaking. "Ever come and threating Lucy like that again, I promise you, You won't live to see tomorrow." The man took his word and ran off. Natsu shook off his throbbing hand. "That's going to for a while." Then, he looked at me. "Are you all right, Lucy?" he said. I was lost in the moment here. I quickly said. "Yes. And Thank you." I continued.

"How did you know where I am?" I asked him. "Sense of smell." he said. "I see." I looked at him. His hair was drenched from the rain. And somehow he stared at me those eyes of his. I asked him. "Is there something wrong?" He quickly responded. "Oh, it's nothing." He talked to me. "Anyway, we should find some shelter. Look like Mother Nature is picking up her second wind." I nodded. I walked but my knee seems to be hurting me. "Lucy, your hurt" he looked down at my cut. "It's fine." I told him. Suddenly, he was carrying me bridal style. "Where's your house?" he said.

"It's two blocks down. But, why…" Before I could say anything. He ran at the speed of light to my apartment. After we reached I bopped him on head really hard. "Oww. What was that for?" he said. "Never do that to me again." I said I turned around with my face in a blush. We reached on fourth floor where my place at. I opened the door, and Natsu and I went inside. "Awesome." He said. "Well, that's what 70,000 jewel will get you." I said to him as I sat down on the couch. "The medical stuff is in the cabinet in my bathroom.

Natsu kneel down at my feet. "What are you doing?" I asked him. "Just stay still for me. Okay?" he said to me. "This is going to sting a bit." He reached out his left hand and placed it on my bloody knee. "Ow! That's stings." I struggled to say. "I warned you." he chuckled. He let go of his hand and I saw the cut was completely healed. I was amazed. He went inside the bathroom and grabbed a bandage from the cabinet. He placed over my cut. "There. All done." he said. "Wow. Thank you." I said. "Don't mention it." Then, Natsu started to sniff me again. I was get scared by it. I never wanted a guy this close to my face. Then, he stopped.

"Umm…I'm going to the bathroom." And he ran inside. "Okay. That was weird." I said.

Natsu's POV

I was inside the bathroom washing my face. "Damn." I said to myself. "Why do I always keep doing that?" I sighed. I can't change who I am. Well with my Dragon Rage, I could change that but when it comes to Lucy's scent. It's hard to stop. Her scent is like a drug. And I'm additive to it. Lucy knocked on the door. "Coming" I told her. I opened the door, and she a worried look on her face. "Are you okay?" she asked me. I told her. "Never been better." The room was silent for a few moments. Then, she said to me. "Listen, I was wondering if you want to come on a solo mission with me tomorrow. It would be much appreciated. Besides, I need money for rent in couple of days." Suddenly, I said to her "yes. Of course."

I don't why but I feel very calm around her. It makes me feel like a human rather than a monster. I looked at the window, and I pictured what had happened last night.

I woke up so suddenly. I quickly got up and saw the walls shredded, the table was destroyed, and the bed was ruined. "Fuck! Fuck!" I yelled. I was getting angry. "Come on. You shouldn't be so hard on yourself." I turned around to see Sting was sitting down in a chair. "Sting!" I said. "Don't worry, Natsu. I'll pay for the damage." I stood there. "Why?" "You're my friend, Natsu. I'm here to help you. And it's not just me but the guild as well." I understood what he meant. "Well, damn." I said this won't look go when Happy gets back for the hospital." Two of us laugh at that statement.

"Man, this rain is really bad." Lucy said to me. "How about you stay over for the night?" Then, I jolted Stay over… with a girl?! I quickly said yes. "Great. I'll go make up your bed." Lucy said as she left. Damn, if only Igneel was here. He could've told me how to handle these situations. Later on that night, it was 11:49. I was sleep on the couch while Lucy was sleep on her bed. However, I didn't feel like fall asleep. Then, I heard noise coming from Lucy's room.

I opened it slowly and quietly and I saw Lucy shivering. It must be from the cold, hard rain. I guess the only way to help her to warm her up. I slowly got up on her bed and wrapped my strong arms around her. Not only has her scent smelled so wonderful. But, her body was warm like mine. I sniffed the scent so much that I had the urge to lick the side of her ear. I flushed. Why did I do it? Do I care for her? I'm not sure myself. But, All I wish for is this moment right here, right now. A moment like this would last forever. Then, I suddenly went to sleep like a light, sleeping alongside Lucy.

A man in dark hooded cape was watching them in the rain. He picked his cell phone called his master. "Are you sure about this, Master?" said the man. "I'm positive. These 7 slayers will perfect experiment to plan of destruction. An undercover agent of ours is watching there every movement" said the master. "But, what if she slips up?" he asked him. "Then, the slayers will execute her. Plain and simple." The man hangs up on his master. "The Destruction of Fiore, huh?" he thought as the rain pelted the night sky.
