Chapter 11
Previously...
"Natsu?" Lucy touhed my arm gently, trying to get my attention.
I jumped a bit from the contact, but settled to gaze into her eyes again. Her expression was asking for me to understand, she wanted me to forgive her.
"I'm alright, just a bit shocked I guess."
"So you understand now?" Akihiko's tone of voice sounded a bit nicer, although I could tell there was a hint of teasing in that remark.
"Yeah." I growled at him but Lucy held my arm to stop me from getting into a fight. So she did still care about him.
A realisation hit me as I thought, this is how Lucy must've felt when she met Lisanna, although that could've been wrong because there was no guarantee that Lucy actually liked me.
- To Natsu, Lucy and Akihiko -
Natsu calmed down from the urge to fight with Akihiko when Lucy held onto his arm, preventing him from moving anywhere with her electrifying touch.
"So why did you kidnap Lucy?" Natsu snarled as he raised an eyebrow at Akihiko, who just looked back at him calmly as he spoke.
"I wasn't sure how you guys would react if I just showed up like that... I didn't want to hurt her feelings by having her watch you and I fight." Akihiko replied, a small smile appearing as Lucy looked grateful.
An awkward silence fell between the three. None of them knew what to say to one another, the only end to the silence in Natsu's eyes was to start a fight.
"You should never have kidnapped Lucy! You bastard!" Natsu yelled as he charged towards the black-haired guy.
He landed a direct punch on Akihiko's cheek and sent him flying backwards.
"Akihiko!" Lucy yelped as she ran over to help her childhood friend who was slumped against the wall.
'Why is she so worried about him? It's not like I used any magic for that punch...' Natsu thought as his brow furrowed.
Lucy knelt down next to Akihiko and held his head up with a gentle hand.
"Are you ok?" She asked and it made Akihiko smile, Natsu growled.
"Ye-" Akihiko started to speak but was interrupted by a huge glass window shattering, a dark figure leaping into the room.
As the dust cleared, Akihiko's eyes widened and his pupil's shrunk dramatically as he recognised who had just appeared.
"Ky-Kyoko..."
"Akihiko, I've been looking for you everywhere!" The woman stuck her tongue out as she spoke, revealing a piercing and held her hands in a rock position (A/N: google or yahoo: "hand signs rock on", it should get your answer :D) and her shoulders were slumped backwards. Her voice sounded a lot like Cana's, but her appearance was completely different.
She had short black hair with red streaks and blood-red eyes, she wore a black button-up shirt that had been cut off at the shoulders and just under her (ahem... ) boobs, the top few buttons were un-done revealing her clevage. (A/N: sorry I sound pervy I promise you I'm not it's just awkward to write about this stuff) There was a short red tie that was slung loosely under the collar of her top.
She had a short fingerless glove on her left hand and the same on the right, but it stretched up to her elbow. She wore jet black mini shorts and belts were slung around her waist with huge black platforms shoes on her feet. A choker necklace was on her neck and she had various pieces of jewellery on her arms. Kyoko looked about the same age as Akihiko, just two years older than Natsu and Lucy.
A red magic circle appeared through the window as Kyoko lifted her hand, as though she was lifting something invisible. Chained and beaten up, a familiar Ice-wizard was dumped onto the hard tile flooring.
"Recognise this one?" Kyoko smirked as she saw the look of shock and horror plastered on the blonde and the rose-haired wizards' faces.
"G-Gray?" Lucy's voice shook, she couldn't believe that he had been caught by this woman, he was so strong.
"Lu-Lucy..." Gray tried to reach out to her, but his arms were chained with the rest of his body, including his ankles so there was no way he could go anywhere.
Kyoko was standing right net to Gray, glaring as he struggled against the chains.
"Shut up boy!" She snarled as a hard kick was planted into the ice-wizard's gut, Gra coughed up blood and groaned with the pain.
'Damn, she probably broke a rib there...' Gray thought.
Kyoko turned towards Lucy, who was still trying to help Akihiko up. "Get away from MY guy, you little wealking!" She sneered and her hands formed strange signals, her index fingers and thumbs forming a triangle as she aimed at the celestial wizard.
Another red magic circle appeared, causing Lucy's body to be outlined in a faint red glow. It didn't seem to put Lucy in any pain, but Natsu could tell this wasn't good. Lucy's chocolate eyes suddenly glazed over, showing no emotion in them at all.
"Lucy!" Natsu shouted and ran towards her when he noticed her eyes change with the red glow.
Natsu helped her get up, only to be kicked in the face with Lucy's hard combat boots. He was sent flying to the center of the room (A/N: this room is HUGE) as he skidded on the tiled floor, there were deep tracks of where his feet had been trying to stop sliding.
'There's something up with Luce, she'd never betray her team! It's this goth weirdo. She did something to Lucy.' Natsu growled as he thought of what he could do next.
"What the hell did you do to Lucy?" Natsu snarled and glared at Kyoko.
"I simply use control magic, she's easy to use!" Kyoko laughed as she faced Natsu, amused by the look of complete hatred he had on his face. "And I really can't be bothered fighting you right now, so I'll let her have some action!" Her posture was bizarre as she once again, stuck out her tongue.
Bending on one knee he looked up at his team mate who fought by his side. His best friend who he could always talk to and have a great laugh with, the one who would try to comfort him as he would comfort her in times of need. The one he loved and would protect with his very life.
'Will I have to fight Lucy?'
Me: So how'd you like it?
Natsu: Eh, I didn't really read it.
Me: 'I wasn't asking you, Natsu' -.-'
Lucy: Well you're in it Natsu! You should know what happened!
Happy: Aye!
Natsu: I really hate that Akihiko guy! He just makes me wanna beat the crap outta him!
Lucy: Are you getting jealous Natsu? hehe
Natsu: N-no! What the hell are you TALKING about?
Happy: You lllllllliiiiike her!
Natsu: SHUT UP HAPPY!
Lucy: *giggles*
Gray: Hey, so I finally make my big appearance only to be captured by this Mikoto chick! What's up with that?
Happy: Aye! That was pathetic Gray!
Gray: Shut up you damn cat! I just bet Lyra and was low on magic power whereas Natsu had heaps!
Natsu: WHA? Come on ice cube, I was dealin' with Akihiko!
Gray: That's a stupid excuse you flame spewer!
*Natsu and Gray wrestling in background*
Me: Ok ok guys, please review and tell me what you thought! The pronunciation for Kyoko is Key-oh-koh :D
Natsu: I don't wanna review... *Gets a nasty punch to the face from Gray; and the fight continues!*
Happy: Aye sir!
