New chapter...Yeah no shit Sherlock.
Sorry
Pointing out the obvious.
So I had this chapter all ready to go a couple of days ago, and I looked at it this morning, and it thought...'Hmm i can make this better!'
...I think I made it worse XD
Well you guys can be the judge of that...Actually dont judge. None of that. And flame makes me mad, cause there isn't a reason for it. Just leave if you dont like it there's no reason to be rude.
Anywho, Enjoy.
I do not own Fairy Tail.
Lucy wouldn't even look at him. He'd messed up big. She was just trying to show her usual kindness. She was trying to comfort him. But then he just had to go and lock his body. She had noticed. And then he saw the hurt look on her face; the realization. Guilt stabbed at his heart.
"Nice going idiot." He whispered to himself. He could feel the celestial spirits eyes on him. The cat had connections to her. He knew when something was wrong. So Natsu knew Loke knew that little hurt he caused Lucy. It may have been small, but the smallest things can cause the biggest problems. And they shouldn't be taken for granted.
"Don't worry about the princess. She'll be fine." He whispered as well. Even if Loke was trying to comfort him, Natsu couldn't help but feel irritated. When that damn spirit called Lucy princess...He heard himself growl. Lucy wasn't a princess. She was a Mage, and a strong one at that. Princess stayed in their castle and rule their kingdom. They were babies about getting dirty, and they were proper...Okay so maybe that was Lucy, but only sometimes! Anyway who did he think he was giving Lucy a nickname.
"Listen cat." He snarled silently, not wanting Lucy to hear. "You watch yourself with Lucy okay?" As Natsu glared at him, Loke seemed to get what he meant. He smiled viciously, but not cruelly.
"I should be the one saying that." Natsu raised an eyebrow. "You're going to be the one in her apartment with her." He smile grew. "alone." And then even more. "As she bathes you, and pampers you." Natsu felt his face flush.
"Why you!"
"Whats going on back there?" Lucy called over her shoulder. She glared at them, and it was just like Erza's. A new found fear of the celestial mage crept up his back. too much Erza influence. Even if the blonde was strong, it wasn't why he was afraid. Lucy was Erza's sister. A sister that she would protect at all costs. If Lucy complained about Natsu to the red haired demon...He shivered at the thought.
"Nothing!" He answered quickly. Loke laughed at him, and he in turn glared.
The pink haired boy looked at his feet. He was able to move a little now. That was evident earlier when he got out of bed. He was getting better. But even if he could move his limbs he couldn't support himself. He couldn't walk, and he couldn't exert much power because he none to do so.
his gut began to pound, and he felt his dragon sense tugging at his skin. It was the same from the day he'd been captured. His mind went directly to the fake Lucy. He couldn't help but look at her. Something was wrong. The guy was here somewhere.
His attention switched to Loke when he felt him shiver. Suddenly he looked back and Natsu saw his face change from calm to surprised. Natsu was pushed down to the ground, and the lion held up his arm.
A black ball hurtled toward him at an immeasurable speed. Loke was hit, and even though he put his arm up to block it, it went straight through him, making a hole in his body like fire through paper. That would make his broken pieces, light ashes. And that's what they looked like as he disappeared leaving millions of them fluttering through the air.
"Loke!" Lucy screamed. She rushed forward, and stood next to Natsu. He looked up at her and noticed her anger and confusion mixing together. Lucy reached for another one of her keys when a cloaked figure wrapped its arms around her. Hers were held close to her body so she couldn't move them. Lucy struggled, but the hooded person was strong.
"Lucy!" He yelled. He wanted his body to move. Move! He strained his energy just trying to summon power. There was no fire within him at the moment. His gut was emtpy, his body was hollow. There was no magic power to be grasped inside of him. He couldn't do it. He was useless right now.
Natsu was so busy watching Lucy he didn't even notice to other cloaked figure approaching him. Not until it grabbed him by his collar, and hoisted him up int the air. The mans knuckles pressed mercilessly into his throat making him choke. He swore. Natsu may have been able to move his legs a little but kicking this guy wasn't something he could do.
His hood dropped and Natsu's eyes widened. It was him, the guy who'd kept him locked up for months. For once Natsu felt a fear, just a little bit though. He was still the great Igneel's son, and he wouldn't be taken lightly.
"Bastard." He growled down at him. He smiled and put on a fake surprised face. He wasn't very good at acting.
"Oh you remember me? I'm so flattered." He laughed.
"Takeo enough fooling around!" The woman who was holding Lucy yelled to him. So this mans name was Takeo. Strange. It wasn't familiar, so why was this guy after him?
"Yes yes." He rolled his eyes. He leaned up to Natsu's neck. And knowing what was going to happen again he screamed in anger and frustration. He couldn't do anything! He legs wobbled pathetically, and Natsu couldn't even punch him either.
"Survey The Heavens Open The Heavens, All The Stars Far And Wide." Natsu looked over to Lucy her mouth was just barely moving. The girl didn't seem to hear her, but he could because of his dragon slayer hearing.
"Show Me Thy Appearance, With Such Shine, Oh Tetrabiblos..." Natsu tensed up as he got closer, his mouth a gap and ready to bite.
"I Am The Ruler Of The Stars, Aspect Become Complete, Open Thy Malevolent Gate." Takeo fit his teeth into the already made holes. the feeling of his wet mouth on Natsu neck made him squirm in disgust.
"Oh 88 Stars Of The Heavens, Shine!" The pink haired boy cringed when he felt Takeo's jaw clamp down. He yelled.
"Urano Metoria!" Lucy put all of her power into her voice. Natsu watched as Takeo, and his partner look around in worry, and confusion. They saw the planets, they couldn't get away now. But it was too late. Natsu was bitten...Again.
"Damn it!" Takeo cursed.
The stars flew around haphazardly as they came falling towards both of them. He heard the girl scream out being hit with all of them.
"Saki!" Takeo called out in worry. Natsu was taken aback. So this girl wasn't one of his pawns, she was a friend?. It actually sounded like he cared for this girl; A lot.
The blue eyed boy was soon swept up in it too, and he screamed along with his friend. He dropped Natsu to the ground, and he was unable to move...at all. The stars began to rain on him too engulfing him in a painful light. Even Natsu didn't want to come across an angry Lucy and her Urano Metoria. The light that surround all four of them slowly disappeared, and they were able to see again.
"Lucy." He called out to her hoping she was okay. She was sitting on the ground rubbing her arm.
The dragon slayer looked over to their attackers. They were both hunched over panting, and swearing. Lucy had done one heck of a number on them. Takeo looked straight at Lucy with a murderous look. Natsu felt his rage grow.
Lucy held out her keys as if saying 'I can open 2 more of these, and have them kick your ass.' Despite their situation he snickered.
"Damn you. After Natsu, I'm coming for you next." He glared as Saki walked over to him and put her hands on his shoulder. "Lucy." he spat before disappearing into thin air.
Lucy heaved a sigh of relief, and she let her body droop a little. Natsu watched her carefully. She stood up straight and looked at him.
"Natsu are you..." she stopped, and Natsu couldn't only guess saw the fresh bite. Her eyes widened and her mouth closed. He noticed her lip trembling. Her eyes began to water and she was crying again.
He opened his mouth to comfort her, but she was already speaking. Lucy held out one of her golden keys.
"Open gate of the golden bull, Taurus." another light flashed and the giant cow guy who always complimented Lucy on her body was standing there, his giant ax in hand.
"Lucy, you still have the best body ever! Mooo!" He checked her out, and Natsu felt his anger boil up again. But Lucy hand t even reacted, she didn't say anything, and she didn't roll her eyes like she usually did. He eyes were facing the ground, and little crystals fell to the ground.
"Lucy?" Taurus said worried that he had hurt her feelings.
"Pick Natsu up and carry him to my apartment please. She began walking without his response. The cow man turned towards the dragon slayer and raised him up over his shoulder a little too easily.
Natsu could only watch Lucy walk ahead of them. He wouldn't be able to move for a while now. But every time he looked at the celestial mage he'd feel a tiny bit of sadness within him. He knew why Lucy was crying. She was blaming herself. That was just like her.
Her sighed and stared at the cobblestone street as the uneven pattern of it hypnotize him and eased him to sleep.
Yes I know I put Lucy's spell in all caps, it was on purpose.
Its a strong spell and putting it into those little wimpy lowercase letters just didn't seem right.
The bad guys may have come back in this one, but I actually had a full fight for them cause it was going to be the one where they just defeat them, and get their back story, but I figured it was too soon, and I had another idea soooo...Surprise.
