Hey everyone. Sorry, I've had a little writer's block.
School is finally out, but I still have a few more exams to go.
I was wondering, would anyone really mind if I did some of Lucy x OC here and there?
Thank you so much for the support!
"Mira, can we talk for a few minutes?" Lisanna asked as she took a seat at a bar stool. Mira looked up from the cup she was cleaning, and smiled. "Of course, but I'm about to close the guild soon. What about?" Lisanna turned around to look at Natsu, who was sitting by himself in a corner, and then turned back to keep her eyes glued in her lap. "I, um.. When Lucy got captured, I-I was happy." Mira's bright smile immediately faded. "What did you just say?" Lisanna bit her lip. "I-I was happy that she was gone because I thought I could have a chance with Natsu, Mira."
"But, but when we got that picture, he just, he just didn't want anything to do with me! I-I feel horrible, I regret everything I've thought about her situation! I was selfish, so selfish!" Tears spilled out of her blue orbs, and her clenched her teeth together to hold back sobs. Mira's eyes softened while witnessing her younger sister's grief. "It's okay, Lisanna." Mira cautiously looked around her, to see if they've caught anyone's attention. Thankfully they didn't.
"Mira, I-I just feel like I was the cause for her death! I-If I didn't think those horrible things, th-th-then she might not be d-dead right now! Sh-she could be here with us, alive!" Mira became nervous as a few guild members started glancing over towards the bar. "O-okay Lisanna, calm down, please. It's not your fault. None of what happened to Lucy is your fault. We just.. Couldn't track her. But, she's.. She's in a better place now. Okay? Just be happy that Lucy no longer has to go through that pain. She left with the memories from Fairy Tail in her heart." Mira started to tear up herself, as Lisanna wiped away stray tears. Lisanna looked shakily back up at her older sister. "Thanks, sis."
Mira smiled sadly at Lisanna, and gave her a wink. "Now go over and comfort Natsu. He needs it right now." Lisanna smiled and nodded. "Yeah."
Meanwhile...
"Lucy, would it be okay if we left Mizuki here with Ai for a while? I wanted you to come with us on one of our missions." Ruko kindly asked Lucy, as Lucy set Mizuki down in her newly bought crib. It was a light shade of pink, and had yellow stars painted on the bars. Lucy looked back strangely and asked, "Mission? What kind of missions do you guys do?" Ruko held back a laugh and just replied, "If you come with us, you'll see." Lucy agreed.
And so, once the moon was highest in the night sky, the group of five set out for the mission.
They were walking in the shadows of a town Lucy didn't know the name of. But, she didn't care what the name was, as long as she never had to step a foot inside of Akuzo's house again, she was fine. Little did Lucy know as she was trailing behind Kenshin, Sophie, and Ren, that they all had sadistic grins spread across their faces. Ruko was walking stealthily next to Lucy, trailing her dark eyes across each alleyway they passed.
Ren and Kenshin slowed down a bit, so they were only a few steps ahead of Ruko and Lucy. Sophie sped up, and once she took one step in front of the next alley, her head snapped to her right. Her smile widened considerably, and Lucy watched her take slow steps into the alley until she wasn't visible any longer. "What's she doing, Ruko?" Lucy asked as she glanced over to the raven-haired girl. Her eyebrow-length bangs shielded her eyes, and she didn't reply. Ruko just kept walking forwards with Kenshin and Ren.
As Lucy ventured closer to the alley, she could make out male coons at who was most likely Sophie. Once they reached the corner, Ren and Kenshin stood on the outside of the alley. Lucy and Ruko walked forward a few feet, then Ruko laughed as she witnessed the sight before her. The moonlight enhanced the four males in front of Sophie asking her bluntly for sex.
"I'd fuck 'er, wouldn't you Eld?!"
"Yeah! Look at that body!"
"I'd love to squeeze those tits!"
"Hell yeah!"
Ruko's laugh faded, while Sophie's smile only grew bigger, if that was possible. "My, my. Very disrespectful, don't you think Sophie?" Sophie put her hands behind her back, and tilted her head, all while never turning around. "Yes, very." Lucy looked back and forth, very confused. Instead of saying something, she just listened on. "Good job for picking out these ones." Ruko looked to Lucy and winked.
"Go." On command, knives shot past Lucy's face, and then made contact with two of the four men at the end of the alleyway. The knives hit the duo on both sides of their shoulders, and the dead center of their stomachs. Lucy whipped her head back, to find Kenshin's hands falling back to his sides. "Nice shot, Kenshin! Better than last time!" Sophie exclaimed. Startled, Lucy frantically asked, "W-what's going on here?!" Ruko shot Lucy a disgusted glare, and told her to shut up and watch.
The men were yelling, and trying to help their fallen comrades. "W-what have you done! You bitch!" One of the larger men ran past a plain-faced Sophie, straight for Lucy. Ruko stepped out of the way, leaving Lucy utterly terrified that a middle-aged man was running at her full force.
Akuzo.
The man then tackled Lucy, and began trying to punch her in the face. Each time, Lucy let out a scream and dodged. Her heart was racing, and she reached around for any type of blunt object. Lucy gasped once his fist made contact with her jaw, but then her hand wrapped around a glass bottle. Grunting and bringing the bottle up, she connected it with the side of his head. This sent the man sprawling to her left, and something strong surged inside Lucy.
A new kind of painful desire.
A need to seek revenge, against filth like this one.
Lucy's grip tightened around the bottle, and she crawled on top of the man, who was still yelling in agony. Shards of glass stuck to his head, and blood was rushing down his old face. The moonlight glistened off the dark blood, and the Celestial mage was surprisingly pleased at the sight beneath her.
But, she wanted this man dead. Why? Because she wanted all disgusting men to feel what she felt while in the cold grasp of his hands.
Lucy raised the broken side of the bottle above her head as soundless tears raced down her pale cheeks. Lucy would no longer have regrets, as long as that beast's name rang through her head. Lucy then brought the bottle down at amazing speed, cutting up the man's throat. He began gagging, and clawing at his throat to begin with, then gradually bleeding out. All the blond did was sit back, and watch the man die slowly, with an expressionless face and absolutely no remorse.
Kenshin averted his gaze, and Ren's attention found point at his shoes, while Ruko and Sophie had grins spread across their cheeks. The three men stared in horror as one of their closest friends proceeded to be murdered without reason.
"W-what do you want from us!" One of the uninjured men spoke. Sophie laughed, and pointed her index finger at them. "We want all you got, and then we'll think about letting you live. I can't say much for your friends there." What Ruko was expecting was the man to sell out where their worth-while stuff was hiding, and then attempt to take off, leaving his pals behind.
And, that's exactly what he did. It's very predictable what a man will do when he's faced with the choices of: saving your own ass, or sticking around until the bitter end with those "dearest" to you.
"A-all we own is being hidden behind those bins over there!" The man pointed to where four large bins rested against a brick wall, and stood up. "I-I'm sorry, guys.." He whispered to his bleeding friends. "You-you're not leaving us are you, Rob?!" One of the wounded called out. Said person, known as Rob, stepped forwards towards Sophie. "Please, you can take everything. Just let me go!"
Sophie looked back towards Ruko, and gave her a distinct nod. Ruko gave the next orders, obviously directed towards Ren. Lucy watched blankly as the scene unfolded.
"Go." Taking his command, Ren landed a close fist into an open palm, and then lifted his fist into the air. Next, he chanted his spell. "Morphing: Concrete Ravens!" One by one, ravens began forming out of the concrete beneath their feet, and darting towards Rob. One even landed on Lucy's shoulder, and began lightly pecking at her cheek. This caused a tiny smile to form on her delicate lips, and she pat the gray raven on it's shockingly soft head. Watching his ravens rip Rob's flesh, and being affectionate to the blond commenced a grin to appear.
A few hours later...
The gang had gathered up the valuables that were being hidden near the brick wall. Ruko collected a "shit load" of jewel, a few gold watches, and many other items that could be auctioned for a good price. Ruko, Sophie, Ren, Kenshin, and Ai were all seated in the living area chatting, while Lucy was in her room breastfeeding her daughter.
"So how did the mission go, guys?" Ai asked quietly. Sophie and Ruko exchanged pleased faces, and Ruko fixed a stray bang. "It went great, actually. I don't know what's going on inside that girl's head, but she murdered one of the guys that we were plannin' to kill, no problem. Oh well, less blood on our hands." Ai nodded her head, and Sophie looked to Ren. "Hey, Ren! Why did one of your birds hang around Lucy like that? They've never clung to any of us! I thought they were supposed to be killing machines." Sophie pouted, and waited for Ren to answer.
He scratched the freckles on his cheek, and shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not sure myself, to be quite honest. And hey, they are! Did you not see the way that guy Bob got torn to shreds?" Sophie waved him off.
In the other room, Mizuki had finally gone to sleep, and Lucy kissed her forehead. "Good night, sweetheart. Hoshi wa anata ni kisu shimashou.."
At last, Lucy could go crawl into her own bed. She rolled over to her side, and peered at her digital clock. "Huh, Natsu. Remember when you said you'd buy me a new clock that morning?" She whispered to herself, before she started thinking about the present. It was okay to kill that guy, right? I mean, he came at me. I didn't have any other choice. He was scum anyway. He's like Akuzo. They're all like Akuzo.
Daybreak crept around, and the busty blond finally got to fall into a deep sleep. Her slumber was filled with nightmares, unfortunately, and Ren and Ruko eventually had to rush in to calm Lucy and the baby's screaming.
As time went on though, Lucy's nightmares became less frequent. Her desire for revenge became greater, and she began going out with the gangs on each "mission" they planned.
Since Sophie was most skilled with hand-to-hand combat, Lucy started training, and constantly sparring with the blond. It eventually got to the point where Lucy could easily out-match Sophie, and pin her to the ground without a second thought.
Kenshin and Ren no longer frightened Lucy, instead, they grew extremely close. Ren and Lucy began hanging around each other more than usual, and would sneak in side glances here and there.
Mizuki's power has grown more unstable, but it could only be noticed by Leo the lion. He began to worry for the well-being of his key holde. If the child's power were to get out of hand, he'd say, Lucy could be in serious danger.
Thus, a little after a year of Lucy's joining of the gang, a new plan was laid out.
"Guys," Ruko called, "It's that time again!" Cheers rang throughout the kitchen, but Ruko silenced them. "Lucy, in case you didn't know, we each battle for the title of leader. It all mainly depends on strength and tactic, but also how well of a leader you are, of course." Ren smiled at Lucy, and she returned it. "Since I won last time, I think we should give you a chance at the spot."
Lucy smirked, as did Ruko. "So, if you can beat the other four members, then you get to go head to head with me." A mischievous tint spread throughout Lucy's eyes. "Oh, you're on."
