Lucy p.o.v
Man I can't believe I over slept. I hope Naruto isn't mad at me. I did one more mirror check. Hair in two low pigtails check. White t shirt and black spandex was all I had to wear since my other clothes are still filled with holes and stained with blood. Hopefully Virgo can get me a new outfit soon. I stepped out of the bathroom and there was tension in the air. Huh? "Sorry if I was taking so long." I apologized. Naruto and kakashi both turned towards me. Naruto started to take his orange jacket off " Here take my jacket it's a little cold out today" huh? Why that's so mature! "Oh thank you Naruto." I smiled and put on his jacket. "How does it look?" I asked while doing a twirl. They both nodded in approval. "Well let's get going." Naruto smiled and headed for the door. "I'll see you later tonight kenshi!" I smiled and waved goodbye.
After a few hour of Naruto showing me around the town we ended up in the market. "Naruto!" Lee bellowed. "Huh what's up lee?" Naruto asked. "Don't you remember that meeting we were going to have with the others today?" Lee asked. "Wait that's right now i thought we were meeting up with the client tomorrow?" Naruto replied. "No we thought it would be best to come up this some plans ahead of time." Lee commented. Naruto turned towards me and said "I'm sorry Meiko I have to go but we will have to hang out again."
I started to head back towards kakashi's when a man and a dog stoped me "come on we are not going to let you slack off and everyone else is doing all the work. I mean did you really think your sexy jutsu is quite convincing but don't forget we know your scent right Akumaru?." The man said and shortly after the dog barked in response. "Wait you can recognize someone's scent?" I asked in response. He almost fell to the ground but I'm still shock a human besides slayer can recognize scents. Wait I have never met this man before and sexy jutsu... I have had someone say that to me befor... a flash back of jirya in front of the bath house.. my eyes grew narrow at the boy.. "I'm not naruto... He just.." I started to say but. The man grabbed my wrist and said "then how did you know I was looking for him. I mean how stupid do you have to be to fall for that.. come on I don't want to have to drag you.." I almost fell to the floor but I caught my self and slowly turned around did he just call me stupid?.
My blood was bowling and I don't know why that bothered me it felt like when I would fight with gajeel back when he would call me a cheerleader. I took a deep breath and said "fine we will see if I was lying or if you have mistaken me... lead the way." "I'm not going to walk ahead so you can use a shadow clone to try and show me up.." the man replied. "Fine if you had such confidence then tie my hands together so I can't do any jutsu." I replied.. I'm going to get my revenge soon enough.
After he tied my hands up and lead me through town we were heading towards the training area. Man the ground is muddy must of rained last night. Huh we must be getting closer because he started to slow down. We walked through the bushes but I got stuck on something and the man accidentally pulled me and I fell. "What the hell kiba!" Naruto came running towards us. The man next to me was still shocked to see Naruto in front of him but then he would look at me. That's when I realized how many people were here. A lot of kids Naruto and Sakura' s age. Sakura came running up to us along with Hinata and Lee. "Kiba why did you tie Meiko up?" Hinata asked.
"Uh.. i..." kiba couldn't get a word out he must of been really surprised. "You shouldn't treat a lady like that." Rock Lee said. I should step in haha I had my fun I got myself off the ground and turned around to Kiba and said "Haha I told you I wasn't Naruto.. so can you untie my hands." I smiled at him and he started to blush. "Wait you tied her up. Because you thought she was Me? Man your since of smell is worse then the last time I saw you." Naruto commented. I turned to Naruto and shook my head and said"Naruto it's an easy mistake to make defiantly since I am wearing your jacket your scent is probably over powering mine." That's when everyone noticed I was wearing his jacket. "Yeah that must be it haha totally forgot I loaned that to you today." Naruto laughed and rubed his head. "Don't you think we should get this meeting started with?" A man that look related to Hinata said. "Oh I'm sorry I'll let you guys get to business" I smiled and started to walk away.
"Wait!" Naruto called out to me. "What are you doing Naruto?" Sakura asked. "Well Meiko must know a lot about kakashi I mean they have nicknames for each other maybe we should ask her for help?" Naruto replied. "So what do you say Meiko will you help us?" Sakura asked when she realizes the point Naruto was trying to make. I turned around and asked "What does Kakashi have to do with this?" I asked out of curiosity. "Have you ever wonder what he is hidding behind his mask?" Naruto asked me. I thought of what he must look like and started to blush.. "Well yeah of course I want to know..."
"Well why don't you help us. To reveal his face." Naruto said proudly. My eyes narrowed on Naruto and I said "who came up with this idea because I remember you said you are doing this for a client." "Yeah we are but more out of curiosity then anything." Naruto said and the others nodded. "Well I would like to meet the client before I would say anything.." i replied. Naruto smiled "then you will be our. Secret weapon." I left the others to their planing.
The next day I woke up and got ready to go to the library. Man I barley even got to see Kakashi last night because he didn't get home until I went to be. I headed towards the door. "Lucy?" A voice behind me said. I jumped and turned around to see Kakashi woke up.
"Oh good morning kakashi" I smiled. "Where are you going?" He asked. "Oh I thought I would do some running today. Is there anything I could pick up for you." I asked. He rubbed his eyes and then took a second look at me. "New outfit?" Kakashi asked. I looked down at the new outfit Virgo made for me. It was a tight blue qipauo style shirt and a short black skirt that had slits on the sides along with spandex underneath. I wore my white belt and that's what I put my keys, whip, and ninja gear.
"Oh, Virgo got me some clothes from the celestial world. Does it look good.. ah by that do you think I'll fit in?" I replied. "Well... that style does look really good on you.." kakashi said looking away from me. "Well I'll see you later kenshi." I started to turn away when kakashi asked "before you go I was wondering if you would want to go out to eat tonight for supper?. My treat." My heart started to pound in my chest. What do I say... What should I do... "sure that would be great. What time would you like to meet up?" I smiled. Keep it cool Lucy.. you can do it!
After we settled on the time I set off to the library before I have to meet up with the others. Once at the library I put on my wind reader glasses and grabbed books on ninjutsu, geinjutsu, and tijutsu. I finished reading so I did some research on for wild plants and wildlife around here just in case of emergencies. Only an hour has passed so I decided to walk around the outskirts of town but once I was leaving the library I bumped into somebody.
His dark hair and dull grey eyes looked back at me. "I'm so sorry I should really pay attention on where I am going." I said while get off of him. Once i stood up i held my hand out to him. "Your a lot heavier then you think." He laugh with a weird smiled that made me feel like was so below him. I wanted to yell at him but thats when I noticed what book he was reading because that same exact book was in Minito's library. The same book I read multiple time to try to make friends.. I looked back at the man still having the awkward smile he did before. So I picked up his book from the floor and said"Haha it's all muscle. So how is that book treating you?"
"It's harder then the book makes it." He replied. "Yeah it is but practice makes perfect with any skill." I replied. "Huh? What do you mean?" He asked. I thought for a moment what is a best explanation I could give him. "Well you are a ninja right?" I asked. He nodded. "Well then just like the jutsu you have mastered you have to master social skills. It takes time and practice but if you have good comrades I'm sure they will help." I smiled thinking of how much nastu and the rest taught me along with everyone here. I smiled "For one most people don't like to be called heavy and for two that smile you have is to forced you have to let it come naturally." I continued while I noticed somebody walk by that I thought I knew but I couldn't place them. Huh.."if you ever want some advice on something you can always ask me. The name is l.. Mieko." "Huh Really? Hmmm my name is Sai." He replied.
After talking with Sai for a bit longer I left to go meet the others. When I made it to the location I noticed all the kids from yesterday. Naruto ran up to me and said "Hey Meiko you made it." "Yep I'm on time right?" I asked noticing the tension in the group. Naruto whispered in my ear and said "You didn't tell kakashi about this.. since you are living with him and all." I laughed "no Naruto he has no idea. Plus I don't know what your plans are. So will you introduce me to the guy who is requested this mission?" Naruto smiled and said "I knew I could trust you." Leading me towards a man with brown hair. Wait that's the man I thought I knew..
Kakashi's P.O.V
Naruto walked up behind me and said "Hey Sukae, I brought someone who knows a lot about kakashi to help us." I turned around to see Lucy standing right next to Naruto. I felt kind of betrayed. "Naruto I never said I would help. I said I wanted to meet the person who requested this mission before I would say anything." Lucy looked back at me after she said that to Naruto. "My name is Meiko.. I was curious on why you want to reveal kakashi's face?" She had a smile on her face but the energy she was giving was a totally different story. It seemed if I said the wrong thing she might kill me.
I never knew Lucy could give off a vibe like that. "Ah I just wanted to post his face on most hotest bachelor. It was the article I was given to publish.." I said while rubbing my head. A light grew in her brown eyes and the killer vibe left. "Well I don't recommend you don't waste your time on the photo you will be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of him without his mask. I mean I known him for a while know and I have never seen it. So if you do happen to get a photo I recommend you delete it.." Lucy took a few steps forward and whispered in my ear "or else I'll hunt you down and destroy it myself." Lucy put her right hand on my shoulder and smiled "Okay?" A shiver went down my spine man I didn't think she could be this scary.
I nodded in agreement and she turned around. I couldn't help but ask "Why so protective?" She looked over and smiled "wouldn't you protect your friend? I mean he must have his reasons to cover his face." I couldn't help but blush a little. I covered my face with one hand. Lucy turned around again and looked into my eyes.. "You seem formiliar have we meet before?" She asked. That's when I remember she said she learned how to read eyes to see what kind of emotions the person is really having.. She did this because of me.. "Ah I don't think so I think I would remember someone like you." She laughed "Well your probably right.. I'll let you guys get to your mission just remember what I said." Lucy said while leaving. Naruto raced to her and she whispered something to him before she left.
Lucy's P.O.V
After leaving the others I decided to go look for the herbs I read about in the liabary. I bent down and plucked some of the plants. This one should be the wild cat nip I read about. I wonder if Happy, Carla, and Pantherlily would like it? Maybe I'll dry it out and give it to loki to deliver it back to the.. oh yeah the guild was disbanded.. I shook my head.. I headed back to the village when I noticed something was following me. I peaked over my shoulder and there was a big cat with a pink bow on its ear behind me.
I sighed with relief and turned around. The cat dashed towards the bushes. I knelt down and grabed some of the wild cat nip. I held it out to the Bush with an open palm. After a minute the cat slowly walked up to my hand with the cat nip. He ate some of it and started to purr loudly. I laughed and started to pet the cat. I picked the cat up to see the gender. "Are you lost handsome?" I asked him. He meowed back at me. I couldn't help but laugh. I grabed a handkerchief and riped some off and wrapped it around the cats neck and I used the bow to hold it together. "There so people know your a boy. I brought him back to the village.. when I got there I was ambushed by three little ninjas.
"Konhamaru it the cat we were supposed to retrieve." Said the little girl with pink hair. "Your right Moegi!" The one with a long scarf and brown hair replied. Then he pointed to me and said "if you don't want to get hurt give us the cat now!" I bent down and handed the cat to him and said "make sure he gets to his owner. Brave ninjas" I smiled and he blushed taking the cat from me. "Thanks lady." I pat his head and said "No problem." I stood up and waved while heading towards kakashi's house but before I could get there I ran into Sukae. He turned around and had a startled look on his face when he realized it was me who bumped into him. Oh he must think I am going to hurt him... did I go a little to far with my threat? I should probably apologize.
"Oh Sukae.. I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to bump into you.. But well since I did I should apologize for my behavior earlier.." I said fumbling over my word. Man why am I fumbling with my words it's just an apology. "It's just.. I'm very protective of my friends and definitely kakashi.. So I hope you don't think I'm some psycho maniac." He laughed and my heart skipped a beat. Huh?! But.. "so why is kakashi so high up on the list?" Sukae asked. I could feel my face get hot. I played with my fingers. "Well.. if you want to know how about we go somewhere more private?" I replied.
Kakashi P.O.V
I couldn't help but get a little jealous. Why does she want to go somewhere private? I mean what if.. I looked at her playing with her fingers. She looked so cute. Like an young girl about to confess to her crush.. "Ah sure.. I'll follow you." I replied with out even realizing what I was saying. She nodded and started to walk. Why am I doing this.. I mean it's not fair to Lucy.. But I want to know what she says.. and I need to know why she is acting like this. That's when I realized we were on top of the mountain with the hokage's faces carved into it.
The same spot we would always go to. Lucy walked up to the guard rail and leaned against it. "The reason why I am.. So protective of Kakashi is.." Her face started to get even more red. "I am protective of Kakashi is because he was the first friend I made.. and i.." wait she wanted to be in a private area to say that to me? She turned around to embrassed to finish her sentence when the air around her got cold. I walked up to her and noticed the red in her face had completely gone to pure white. "Hey are you ok?" I asked out of concern. She slowly turned her head and said " I'm sorry but I must be going or else I'm going to be late with meeting up with kakashi." She ran back towards the village in a rush. Huh? Wait i need to get changed before I meet up with her.
Lucy P.O.V
No it can't be! He can't be here. And why would he target the kids. I ran as fast as I could towards the way Konhamaru and the others where heading towards. They must be going to the training grounds! I have to hurry. I took my whip out and jumped in front of the kids and hit each orb that came towards us. After the whip came in contact with the four big explosions occurred. They were to close the rubble might hit the kids so I blocked them with my body. "You guys must go warn the village about the enemy quickly.I'll hold him here until back up arrives." I said quickly. I need them to get out of here!
"No we can help!" Konhamaru tried to argue. "And what if we fail he could destroy the village now go!" I yelled. They need to leave before the smoke cover is all gone. Konhamaru said "bu.. Ok but we will be back as fast as we can to help ok?" I nodded and they left. Ok Lucy you have to end this before anyone else comes... I turned to face him.. The man that took Aquarius from me.. Jackal stared at me and the laughed his tail moving around behind him. He appeared right in my face and said."Wow you really look like her dontcha. Well this is going to be a lot more fun then I thought." I looked him dead in his eyes and said "Oh yeah what do you mean by that?"
He laughed "Well I might as well tell you since you will be dead here soon. By the her I was referring to is the fly that killed me Lucy heartfillia but you wouldn't know her since she is from a different dimension. So I will take my vengeance out on you nice and slowly." Wait he doesn't realize that it me. Man he must be an idiot. "Don't take me so lightly." I replied. "Oh calm down kitten I won't be taking my revenge for a few more days but it will be one you can't miss for miles. How about I'll give you a little taste of what it will be like?"
Kakashi's P.O.V
I headed towards the the gate of the village to meet up with Lucy. Gai walked up to me and said "Hey kakashi where are you heading in such a hurry?" "I'm going to go meet up with Meiko.." I replied. Before gai could say anything there was four loud explosions comming from the training field. Huh someone must be training with there explosives. But after a few minutes I could see Konhamaru and his team running towards the gate. "Konhamaru!" I said and ran towards him.
"What happened are you guys ok?" Gai asked. "Please go help her she wanted us to warn the village of enemy attack and she stayed behind to keep him at the training grounds."Konhamaru pleaded. Both me and Gai ran towards the training grounds after telling Konhamaru and the others to go warn lady tsunade. When we got there my hearts stoped once I saw Lucy with her whip out and burn marks all over her body. "You call that an explosion I felt flames hotter then that!" She yelled at the man. "Oh yeah how about this one?" The enemy said and a orb went towards her. She used her whip to hit it and a large explosion occurred. He poped through the smoke and grabed her right arm.
My blood started to boil and before I new it i started using chidori and ran towards them. Lucy noticed me comming and grabed the enemy's hand. He smiled and another explosion was set off and a pile of smoke covered them but I kept running. That's when the enemy ninja jumped out of the smoke. Wait! Lucy was still holding onto his foot when another blast went off and sent her flying to the ground. Gai ran after the enemy while I went to help Lucy. She slowly got to all fours by the time I could reach her "Meiko!" I said but she stayed still quietly looking at the ground. "Lucy!" I yelled she slowly looked up at me her eyes were wide with fear and that's when I noticed how bad she was shaking.
A lot of thing have happened this chapter and the mystery character has finally been revealed. How will Lucy handle this foe? Will she break? Or will she be able to handle the stress of killing the deamon that she had to sacrifice Aquarius and still lost her guild after she and the rest of the guild stoped tataros? Only time will tell. Hope you guys like the chapter
