I'm really glad that most of who read this story is enjoying it! I don't know why, but this part of my story sounded so...cliche. (Ugh) Enough with the chit-chat, let the show on the road! Right? Ahahaha, yea, enjoy the chapter!

I have not even put this on for the past 8 chapters...I think...oops, anyways, Fairy Tail does NOT belong to me...yep..

"Tsk, tsk Natsu. You don't know anything, do you? Well you deserve it anyways, being the dense rock you are. *sigh* so sad..." And off went Erza and Gray.

"What? What did I do wrong?" said Natsu as he tore off his hair.

Why am I getting mad for? It's not like I like him or something? Do I? As she walked, her eyes got bigger. "I don't like him, I don't like him, I DON'T LIKE HIM!"

"Like who?" Happy said, appearing out of nowhere.

"Ack! What the-? Where were you all this time? You weren't with us when we went to fight Chita?"

"Nope, I was here with Adonis, catching and eating all the fishes in his pond behind his house. Look! I even wrapped one for Charle!" And Happy showed her a newly wrapped fish-like present. At least Happy knows about his feelings, unlike some pink idiot. What am I thinking? Argh, forget it!

Lucy decided to forget her stubbornness about not admitting she like Natsu, and went back to where the rest of the gang was.

"So, did Hiro make up his mind yet?"

"Yes, I did." Hiro came up to them. "I've decided…" he paused, looking at all of them, like a wise, old man that have seen many things in his lifetime, "that I'll stay here with Airlia and her family."

"I don't need to be in a guild to protect her. I can save her on my own. I'll just practice my magic everyday and maybe become strong enough to protect everybody. See, look." He showed his hand and a huge burst of golden light wrapped around his finger, and then around everybody. The golden light felt soft and light, it was a nice feeling. "I can only move the light like this so far, but soon, I'll be able to control it and use it as a weapon like Gray's ice or Natsu's fire. Even Erza's sword magic."

"All right. It's your choice so we'll respect it. Well, since we finish our mission, we'll take our leave now. And don't worry, Hiro, you'll become a great mage, and an awesome husband to Airlia!" Lucy winked at him, and he blushed. "Bye!"

As they walked away, Adonis and his family ran after them yelling something.

"HEEEYYY! YOU FORGOT YOUR MONEY!" they turned around.

"Oh crap!" And all of them went running back.

After sorting everything out, the gang went home with pocketfuls of money because Adonis was so rich, so they receive more money than they had expected.

"This money can pay my rent for 5 months! I'm so happy!" Lucy exclaimed whilst walking towards the town's train station with Erza.

While Lucy was celebrating her "rich" paycheck, Natsu had a sad look on his face. He was still thinking how he got Lucy mad. Why is she so mad, I told her the truth didn't I? She hasn't talked or looked at me once…..

Gray looked at his friend/arch-nemesis and sighed. "Dude, why don't you just go and talk to her. Don't sulk like an idiot."

" *sigh* Yea, I think I should."

Gray was surprised when Natsu just agreed with him. Natsu never agrees with him. Lucy must've taken over his mind of her. (A/N I was laughing for no reason when I wrote that part.)

"Hey Lucy?" Lucy turned around and gave him one glare and an "Hmph!" and then she kept on walking.

"WAIT! I said I was sorry!" Natsu ran after her.

"You don't know anything, don't you? Forget it, I don't know why I'm getting mad at you anyways, I mean it's just you, what "did" you do wrong?" At that, and she stalked off.

For some reason, Natsu got a little hurt from what she said. "Argh!" And he proceeded to bang his head on some poor pole.

"That stupid moron doesn't know what he did wrong…wait! Why am I getting upset about it anyways? I don't like him at all…" and she kept on repeating it. "I don't like him at all…" Tears started rolling down her face. "I don't like him." She felt something wet fall down onto her shirt and touched her face. "Huh? Why am I crying?" No matter how many times she wiped away her tears, they kept on falling. "Stop crying…*hic hic* …that idiot..he doesn't know what he said hurts me this much." She fell down onto her knees. Erza stopped walking when she didn't see Lucy walking after her. Erza went back to Lucy and saw her trying hard to wipe away her non-stop tears. She knew immediately the reason why Lucy was crying. "Lucy…."

"I love him so much…it hurts."

Meanwhile, someone stood behind the bushes, eyes wide open and mouth agape with shock. Onyx eyes flash with regret and guilt as it sees the girl before him cry so painfully, and it hurts him to see her cry. At that moment, he just wanted to run over to her and hug her to stop her tears, but he can't, because his feet stays rooted to the spot, not wanting to move towards the girl. But more than that, he can't face her, for he knows that he was the reason that makes her tears fall so. For that, he can't forgive himself.

Erza consoled Lucy while she was trying to stop crying. "I'm sorry Erza, for taking your time like this."

"It's okay, we're nakama, right? Can you walk now?"

"*hic* Yea, I'm fine. I could walk." Not even 5 seconds after Lucy stood up, they heard a familiar voice.

"Aww, my princess here is crying. And here I thought I could see her beautiful smile."She looked up, and saw none other than Yuji.

"Yuji?" "What the heck are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in prison serving your term!"

"Well I was, but I escaped because they put me in some secluded town with poor security. But that's not the reason I came here. I came here to get you back. I learned what I did wrong by attacking the wrong person for someone else's mistake, and losing the only person that actually cared for me." He gave Lucy a longing look. "I realized my mistake when the council took me away, while you stood there, and gave me a disappointed look. I thought for some reason that you were going to come back and plead the guards to let me go, but you just turned around and walked away, not even glancing back to me once. Something in my chest began to hurt really badly, and that's when I knew that I loved you. I just didn't see it because I was too blinded by revenge to see what was important to me."

He stepped closer to her, but was stopped by Erza. "Don't touch her, she doesn't want to even see you."

"-scoff- Don't be silly, of course she wants to see me. She loves me, don't you Lucy?"

"I—"Lucy remembered the times they had spent together, and how those times made her liked Yuji. When they were young and chasing one another. They were so happy back then. But she also remembered how Yuji broke their friendship and relationship. How he had kidnapped her and stood there, looking at her with cold eyes while she was drugged and hurt from the ropes that cuffed her.

"I may have liked you, Yuji, but I know for sure that I never loved you." She stood up to him and looked at him straight in his eyes. "What I felt for you was only an infatuation. I realized I was never in love with you when you and I kissed each other on our first date. I've always wanted to kiss you, even if it was only on the cheek, but when I did, there was no electricity, no explosion of love, nothing at all. What I felt, was a small, cold pressure to my lips."

She mumbled her last words. "But with Natsu, even the slightest touch makes me blush…"

"Hmph, so I was right, you are in love with that pink fire guy. No matter, I can just make you love me again, even if I have to use force!"

A/n: And I forgot to tell you, I'm already finished with this story so I'll be updating this every (very) days. Should be done by next week! Ciao!
