Chapter Eight

As Lucy watched towards the guild, she felt someone following her. Glancing around, she saw nothing, but that didn't mean she was going to let her guard down. Adjusting her sunglasses, she looked around her. Its hard to believe that she could see. Sure, it wasn't the same, but she was grateful for what her friends did. Even if Hades and the rest only granted her a different view of sight.

As if speaking his name, a glow of light shinned as the very God himself appeared next to her. He woar his normal warrior gear with him. Its pure black, with gold. With black armor, the only gold on him was the arm guard on his wrist that reached his elbow, the gold symbol of a three headed hound on his chest, and his knee guards. Hades was a man that would intimidate any man that saw him. As it is, the towns people took huge steps away from them.

Another gold like light shinned as Loke came forth. "Lucy." Loke spoke with a smirk on his lips as he through his arm around her. "Its been to long."

"Watch it lion." Hades spoke as he removed his arm from around her.

Biting back the smile, she let them bicker. Both Hades and Loke fought when it came to her. It seem like they both find it amusing to embarrasses her, and the things said, more than often left her flushed in surprised.

"Back of you horny lion." Hades hissed as he dragged Lucy towards him.

Loke only narrowed his eyes as he grabbed her arm, and pulled her away from Hades. "I meant her first, corpse."

It was only a matter of time before they both growled, dark aura surrounding them. "Okay guys." Lucy spoke as she pushed both men away. "So what brings your guys out." She asked when they both cooled down.

Both shrugged before they found themselves in front of the guild. "We only came to walk you to the guild!" Hades finally said, and he looked around them. "Now that your here, I will be taking my leave." With that said, he left.

Sighing, Lucy only shrugged before shouting Loke a glare when he pulled her in his arms. "Pervert lion." She whispered to herself. But it seem like Loke heard her.

"Your hanging out with Laxus and Gajeel to much." He sulked as pouted before leaving, but as always, before he left, he winked at her.

With a shake of her head, Lucy walked inside the guild only to find most of her guild mates missing. Looking at the request board, she saw it only had a few jobs posted to it. It would seem like they left for work. Walking to the back of the guild with the most shadows, even if the place was bright. It helped with her eyes.

But as it would seem, life hated her. She pretended not to notice Erza, Grey, and Natsu walking towards her. Now, then anything, she wished she didn't let Hunter back to the spirit world to rest. No, she wasn't selfish, she could deal with them on her own.

Taking a deep breath, she looked down, making the table seem like it was more interesting then the people walking towards her. As they reached her table, each one of them, sat down. All three looked at Lucy, waiting for someone to speak first.

Seeing that nobody was going to speak first, Erza decided to say something. "Lucy, we wanted to know if you wanted to go to the beach again, like last year to train for the games again." She asked as she looked at the rest of the team.

"That sounds good." Grey said as he removed his shirt without knowing it.

"I'm fired up." Natsu shouted as his fist blazed with flames.

The only person who didn't agree was Lucy, who stayed quiet. When the rest of the team realized she hadn't said anything, they looked at their celestial wizard.

Natsu being himself, leaned more towards her. "Come on Luce." He whined with a pout. Lucy on the other hand leaned away from him.

Before she could say anything, a shadow towered above them. "She's not going with you."

Looking towards the voice, they found Gajeel standing next to them. He scowled, red eyes narrowed, and his arms crossed over his chest. Gajeel was a man on a mission, and that mission, was to get bunny-girl away from these morons. And since, Laxus wasn't here, or Juvia, it was his job. He'll never admit it, but bunny-girl is like a sister to him. She never had to forgive him after the beating he gave her, but she did. In his books, he was worth being protected.

"What the hell do you mean she's not going with us!" Grey growled out as he and the rest of the group glared at the iron dragon slayer. "She's our team mate."

Gajeel only snorted in distaste. "No, she's not." He would have said more, but after catching the scent of Laxus, he only stalled until the bastard got here.

Lucy on the other hand was only looking at Gajeel as if he was crazy. Yet, she was grateful he came. She really needed to stand up for herself, but she was talking about Erza. The scarlet woman was a demon on a whole other level. That the gods, that Hades or Ares didn't come. They would have simply sucker punch anyone in her way.

Laxus who walked in, narrowed his eyes as he found his sister surrounded by those morons that called her their friend. Storming over towards them, he grabbed Lucy, "Come on, Blondie." He said as he throw her over his shoulders and began to walk out. "Gajeel! Juvia!" He called out, not needed to explain since they already discussed what the plan was.

But as always, not everything went to plan. As Lucy protested and called Laxus blonde too, she felt hot air, before she felt she was grabbed away from Laxus, well more like pulled away from him. She had not time to protest to the manhandling that was happening to her body.

Looking at the person, she wasn't surprised that it was Natsu that grabbed her. Nor, surprised that Grey and Erza was with him. "Luce, isn't going with you." He growled, tightening his hold on her.

Uncomfortable with being held by him, she pushed him away, catching him by surprised, "Luce," He whispered as she pushed away.

"I...I already have plans to train with them." She spoke as she looked away from their hurt expression. They had no reason to be hurt. The person who was hurt, was her. She watched them for eight months ignoring her, before she was kidnap without anyone knowing and tortured and experimented with.

"Luce, but why...!" Natsu whispered, stretching out his arms, as if he wanted to hold her, to keep her with him.

Clenching her jaw, she took a step away before leaning more on Laxus, who placed a hand on her shoulder for support. "We...aren't a team anymore. Your guys made that clear to me a year ago." Her voice cracked as she leaned more on Laxus, "I..we have to go!" With that said, Laxus swiped her off her feet and began to walk out of the guild with Gajeel and Juvia right behind his heels.

The guild was left speechless as they watch four of their members leave. Most turn to watch Team Natsu, and found each of the members hurt, but it was Natsu how looked worse. With his arms still stretched out towards Lucy, he slowly let his arms return to his side as he ran out of the guild. Grey quickly left after him with Erza and Levy right behind them.


Lucy chatted with Juvia as they walked toward their training grounds. As it turned out, Laxus and Gajeel found a perfect place to train before the games began. It was only a week after they left the guild to train, and their was already an improvement in their magic.

Juvia trained with Poseidon, who was more than eager to train her. The blush that always covered her cheeks was more than an indication that Juvia found the God of the Sea attractive. It was also fun to tease her.

Gajeel trained with Hephaestus, God of Fire and Forge. Since Hephaestus can forge any weapon, he was ideal person to train Gajeel, and it was more than entertaining to watch get his ass handed to him.

Laxus trained with Zeus. The lighting god himself. Laxus was sure surprised when Zeus' lighting did in fact hurt him. Just a week of training, and their was a great improvement.

Lucy trained with all the gods, and her spirits and her dragon slayer training. It was brutal and pure torture then training with Laxus and Gajeel. This was hell.

Shaking her thoughts away, she smiled when Juva told her what Poseidon told her. The pure laughter that escaped her. It would seem like the God of Sea found Juvia interesting. "I think he wants you Juvia." Lucy teased as a giggle escaped her lips.

"Huh." Juvia's face turned bright red, rivaling even Erza's hair color. "N...no." She shuttered out as she cover her face with her hands, "Juvia thinks he only flirts. Juvia would never think a god would go for Juvia."

The giggles on came more as she watched her shutter. Before she could tease her more, the very god they spoke of walked towards them. Wearing his blue and silver armor, his trion in his hands as he smirked.

Lucy felt her breath hitch in her throat as she looked at the very attractive man before her. Looking down, she felt her own cheeks warm with the blood rushing to her cheeks. Now she knew what Juvia felt like. Training with a bunch of attractive men could really mess with a girl.

Poseidon only smiled when both girls blushed and looked away from him. It was a running game to the gods to tease the ladies. It never case to amuse them. "Lu! Juvia!" He spoke as he made his way to both of the ladies. "My realm would be even more breathtaking if both of you ladies lived there."

"No." Another male voice spoke as he made his way towards the three. His gold and back armor gleaning in the sun. "They would be fitting in my realm with all the riches I have." Hades spoke but continued when he thought of something else, "After all, I am the riches out of all the gods."

"Stop teasing the girls." Lucy and Juvia both felt their breath hitch in the throat as two more gods made their way towards them. Apollo smiled as if the very sun lived in it, his golden armor gleamed with the sun and Ares with his black and red armor, and his bad boy looks.

Lucy let out a very slow breath of air escape her as she took in the very, very attractive men before her. Juvia wasn't far off than her. Their faces bright red as they were surround they gods. Its not every day, a girl gets to be in the presents of gods.

"Besides, they should come to my realm." Apollo said as he pulled Lucy and Juvia towards him, as he flashed them his bright smile. The girls lost for words.

Ares frowned as he slapped Apollo on the head and pulled the girls towards him. "No, I can protect them, plus, I have a great place in my realm for them." Ares explained as he throw a smirk to the already red face girls.

That was it. Both Lucy and Juvia fainted with the killer smirk Ares throw them. They couldn't take it anymore. It was to much for them.

However, a certain two dragon slayers heard the conversation. Growling, both Laxus and Gajeel ran towards the girl and pulled them away. Only to frown when they found both Lucy and Juvia have fainted. "They aren't going with you." Gajeel growled as he carried Juvia.

"Keep your hand off my sister." Laxus growled as he and Gajeel left the gods behind. The gods on the other hand only laughed as they left to return back to their realm. Its not every day they get to tease these mortals.


Two months later


"Blondie, ready to kick ass."

"Your blond too." She shouted as she scowled Laxus before nodding, "But yes I am."

"Gehe, they wont know what hit them." Gajeel smirked as they made their way back to the guild.

"Juiva thinks we will win." Lucy only smiled as she and Juvia were carried by the male dragon slayers. "Juvia also thinks, Lucy-chan has improved with her magic too."

"Thanks Juvia." Lucy said as she thought of the new magic trick Juvia learn for Poseidon taught her. "And you all have improved too."

Before either could say anything, they walked into the guild. Another party was in full swing, and this time it was for the games.

Walking towards the back of the guild, they made themselves at home. It wasn't long before the Master came out and gave a speech about winning the games. With another cheer, they partied, getting ready to travel Crocus for the games. Lucy felt more at ease than ever. And for the first time, she felt like she could let her guard down, and enjoy her time.


I had fun writing this, I hope you liked it. Also before I forget, the year gap they took after disbanding the guild never happen. Instead, the year was of Lucy being ignored and tortured. Also the demons have not attacked yet. I have a plan for them, and you guys will see what I have in store. Hehe, I feel to evil with that I have in plan. I also wanted to thank all you guys who left a review and followed my story. Thank you!
