*SCREEEEEAM*
OH FINALLY FINALLY I DECIDED TO SCREW REVISION SO...
AN UPDATE!
BUT APPARENTLY NOT AN EXTREMELY... IMPRESSIVE ONE.
OH WELL.
DISCLAIMER: ME OWN NOTHING.
LUCY
The door swing open as Lucy peeked out meekly.
"Hi...Natsu..."she said nervously, the edges of her peacock green dress rippling.
She had Lisanna and Erza come over and pick out the dress and she was quite pleased with the results.
"Yo, Lucy."he grinned cheekily, ready for our date?
"Mmm!"she agreed.
"Let's go!"he cheered, grabbing hold of her fingers.
"H...hey! CHOTO!" Lucy squealed in astonishment, slamming her door shut before they could progress any further down the path. "Let me lock my door first!"
"Hai hai hai." Natsu sighed, stepping back to let her pass.
Timeskip
"Ohhhhhhhh..." Lucy squealed when Natsu led her to a dimly lit restaurant. A scented candle flickered serenely on the table.
"Welcome to our diner." a waitress smiled warmly, spinning over with menus in hand.
GRAY
He stood behind a bush, snickering at the apparent thought of ruining his rival's date.
Hmmm what should he do?
Crash their date?
Explode the table?
Ice-Make a cannon and shoot at Natsu's food?
Land a bee hive on their heads?
He mentally giggled at the thought of the Flame Mage's dinner date ruined.
He scooted closer to take a better look at his 'target', who was sitting much too close for comfort to HIS Luce.
Besides, Natsu's attempt to win Lucy over was pathetic, as far as he was concerned. He would bet a billion jewels that he could bring Lucy to a better date.
"Tch...that idiot can't date for toffee." Gray scoffed, his hand positioned in his 'Ice-Make' stance.
"Ice-Make...MMMMFPT!"he was interrupted by a heavy blow to his jaw, "the fuck..."
He looked up to face his assailant, but before he could beat the crap out of him, the masked man swiftly slammed him on the head, successfully knocking him out.
Gray blinked blearily as the the dark sky swirled and blurred above him, the stars shining mockingly down.
Well, fuck.
NATSU
Apparently, his date was due to be a failure, because by the time he heard a muffled thump by the bushes, it was too late.
A flash of black sped past his sharp eyes and punched his back, a heavy fist of stone.
"Stone-Make...Gauntlet!" came the low command as Natsu turned to face the man, whose hand heavily hardened to a glove of stone.
He couldn't react fast enough, because the man thumped his head with the rock fist.
The flame Mage blacked out immediately.
Well, fuck...
LUCY
The ground was ice cold against her skin. She blinked her unwilling eyes, sitting up to survey the mess before her.
Her dress was torn and tattered, her hair tangled.
This was definitely not where she had been a moment ago.
Or was it hours ago? Minutes? Seconds?
She couldn't remember really. She closed her eyes, trying to recall...
She had been on a...date...with Natsu. They were...assaulted? Did they have an accident?
She glanced at her arms, ablaze with blossoming bruises. Most probably not.
She could remember a fist...then darkness...
Flashback
"Natsu!" Lucy screamed when a fist connected to his face, "NATSU!"
Their assailant smirked at her, "now, now missy. You're next."
She backed away, screaming.
"Don't be shy..." he chuckled darkly, cracking his knuckles.
She grabbed her keys, "I...GO AWAY! NATSU!" she called out to the unconscious man, slumped on the ground. She would never forgive herself if anything...anything happened to him. "Wake up, please...Natsu..."
"O...Open Thee! Gate...Gate of the Maiden! V...Virgo!" She wailed, expecting the pink-haired lady to appear in a flash of gold.
Nothing happened.
She glanced down, to find that she had the wrong key.
"Heh...weak..." the man sneered, launching towards her in a torrent of fists.
Then, everything faded away...
Flashback ends
Her eyes snapped open.
"N...Natsu..."
She stumbled up, shaking and peering around the musty room. It didn't seem to be locked...she must have been dumped here in a hurry.
A low groan scared the shit out of her.
"Natsu?"she whispered tentatively to the heaving lump on the ground.
There was silence as she shuffled closer, her legs protesting in pain.
A man slumped, face down on the ground. He was still breathing, at least, but the hair that shimmered in the dim light was far from Natsu's salmon locks.
She turned the man over, her heart sinking into the pit of her stomach.
Her breath hitch heavily when she saw the man's face.
"G...Gray?"
MUAHAHAHA
I KNOW I SAID I WOULDN'T BE UPDATING FOR A FEW MONTHS...BUT SCREW IT.
I GUESS THIS WILL BE MY LAST UPDATE FOR A WHILE. OH WELL.
PERSONALLY, I FELT THAT THIS CHAPTER WAS CRAP.
AND FINALLY AFTER SO MUCH CHAPTERS OF CRAP, IT'S TIME FOR ACTIONNNNN!
OH WELL.
ANYWAY, THE STONE MAKE: GAUNTLET THINGY WAS FAKE, EVIDENTLY. HEHE I MADE THE MOVE UP. SORREY IF IT'S A LITTLE UNREALISTIC...
AND WHEN NATSU AND GRAY BLACK OUT, I MADE THEM THINK THE SAME THING. HA. GUESS THEY ARENT TOO DIFFERENT IN CHARACTER. LOL
R&R?
ARIGATO!
