A/N: I am so sorry! My computer had a bug and wouldn't let me get on the internet to save my life. I hope you like this chapter, took me a while to figure out what to do. I think this will be my last chapter, but I'm thinking about adding and extra chapter. What do you think?

Lucy felt her heart skip a beat, her hands grip on their own, the blood in her vain's start to boil. "Natsu," Laxus gritted his teeth, "you piece of crap!" As he stepped forward Lucy could hear the blood pounding in her ears and her vision became blurry. Laxus's arm moved with and extreme speed that Lucy had never seen before. When his fist hit the skin on Natsu's face, Natsu's head flew back as though it would fly from his shoulders, his upper body followed soon after, and and his feet flew out from underneath him. Lucy watched as Laxus brought his fist back, Natsu's blood running down his four arm. "You just need to curl up and die." Lucy's heart nearly stopped, her mind finally wrapping around what just occurred. It was Natsu's fault, he had burnt down her home, destroyed her things, and made her feel so small.

"Natsu," Lucy whispered, watching as he sat up at his name. There was and imprint of Laxus's fist in his face, his lips were cut in two places that were now bleeding non-stop, his left cheek already had a bruise, and his nose was broken and bleeding. "How could you?" She felt her heart beat faster as tears rolled down from her eyes. "Even if your angry with me, you still didn't have to go that far!" Her stomach twisted and her magic flowed through her. "I hate you Natsu, with all my heart, I hate you so much!" Her magic exploded with so much force that it threw Laxus off his feet. The ground around her began to fall apart, flying in all directions. She turned a found all of her spirits around her. "Natsu! I'm going to kill you!" SHe felt her energy drain, but she didn't care, she only wanted him dead at her feet. She threw her hands out in front of her. "ATTACK!" Dozens of lights flashed past her, heading full speed at Natsu. "Die you inconsiderate fool!" They all hit at once, exploding as though an atomic bomb went off. She watched as the dust died down. When the dust cleared she found Natsu laying on the ground, his body looking like it had been in an accident with knives. She wasn't surprised when he placed his hand in front of him, pulling his body up to his knees.

"I didn't know...you were...that strong," Natsu grunted. He got to his feet, his body sagging off to the right. He didn't look to good, but Lucy had fought with him enough to know that he had along ways to go. She would have to give her all.

"Lucy! Stop this!" Lucy turned to find the master. They were a lot closer to the guild then she had remembered. Everyone was looking out windows, peeking their heads out doors, or already gathered in front. "What is going on?"

"I don't want the guild involved," Lucy said softly.

"They already are!" Lucy froze. "I told you before, when Phantom was being a nuisance. This guild is a family! We feel each others pain, happiness, and sorrow." He looked at her sharply. "Now, Lucy, tell me what's going on!" She turned away, she didn't want him getting involved in such a childish fight.

"She's a slut, that's what's wrong." Lucy looked up and Natsu's voice. "A slut, a piece of crap, worthless, powerless, weak! She's not worth having in this guild!" Lucy had never seen this side of him. What was he doing? He was the one who confessed to her, said that he would break up with Lisanna for her.

"How can you say that! Your the one who said you still had feeling, said you'd choose me over Lisanna...your the one who burned down my home!" She didn't realize she was yelling until she was done and the quiet seemed so solitary.

"How dare you say that! Sure, burning down your house was my pleasure, but I'd never say anything like that! I love Lisanna more then I could ever love anyone, and why would I have feelings for a whore like you." Lucy could feel her chest start to hurt. "Why would I like someone who's in love with a man who tried to destroy the guild, tried to destroy our family! I could never love you, let alone like you!" Lucy looked at her hands.

"Yes! I love Laxus! He means the world to me! He's the only man that I've come to love who hasn't stabbed me in the back, he's everything to me now!" She felt a load lift from her shoulders. Her feeling were out among the people she had wanted to say them to, and they were true. These words were coming from her heart. She turned to see Laxus smiling with such joy. He got to his feet, approaching Lucy, and wrapped his arms around her. She smiled into his chest. She needed this right now, a hug to make her feel better. She turned to find the master staring at her. He looked surprised, astonished, and...happy. "What's wrong," Lucy asked.

"Nothing, my dear," Makarov spoke softly. "I'm just, glade to see that Laxus found someone like you, Lucy!" He smiled. "However," he turned towards Natsu, "I am unable to look past what you have done. Natsu Dragneel." He paused, looking sharply at Natsu. "You are now on a forced leave. You will not be allowed back into the guild until I say so." Natsu gasped.

"Your taking me away from the guild?"

"No," the master growled, "I'm not. I am making you stay away for a time for acting against a guild... no, a family member. From this moment, Natsu, you are not allowed in the guild, on any jobs, or around Lucy and Laxus until I tell you, you can. For now, go home." Natsu made a hissing noise as he turned to leave. As he walked he punched a tree, leaving a fist imprint in the bark. "What a child he can be," Makarov commented, turning turning to Lucy. "Well, I want you to take care of yourself, and Laxus... keep her safe. She better mean the world to you because you do to her." Makarov turned away. "Now have a good day," he said, smiling and waving as he walked away.

"So," Laxus sighed, "Um, a job, right?" Lucy nodded, "shall we look?"

"Yeah, but we need to run back to your place, I forgot something!" Lucy laughed a little fake sounding. She had left her keys at home. How did that happen when I didn't even have my keys on me, she thought to herself.

They walked into the guild, ignoring all the anxious stares from everyone. They made their way to the second floor, grabbed an S-class job and started on their way out. Before they could make the door, Lisanna stepped in front of them.

"I thought you were better then that Lucy, but I guess a slut can't be trusted!" Lucy looked at her with shock. "How could you do that to Natsu, saying such horrible things to him. He loves me with all of his heart, why the hell would he say anything like that to you!" Lucy smiled and looked at Lisanna.

"Don't worry, I will never confront him about anything like that ever again. Plus, he deserves someone like you. Sweet, caring, hopeful, loyal." She waved to Lissanna as they walked out of the guild. Laxus laughed.

"You took that well with Lisanna." Lucy smiled back.

"She's so... how can I put this..."

"Simple minded?" Laxus provided, smiling just a bit.

"Yeah, simple minded! She doesn't see what's wrong until the conflict is over. She doesn't know who is what until she see's for herself. I want someone so kind and childish on my side, and calling her childish isn't an insult, but more of a complement. She's remained in such a pure state of mind, it's truly amazing." Lucy smiled at the ground while Laxus laughed.

"And it's amazing that you can see that!" Laxus wrapped his arms around Lucy.

"And it's amazing how much you've changed," Lucy laughed, moving to her tiptoes.

"And it's amaz-" Lucy cut him off with a kiss.

"How about we finish this a t your place," Lucy said, smiling. Laxus smiled back and picked Lucy off of the ground.
