"What promise?"
I quickly avoided his glance.
Satena... the name kept echoing through my head. My head was spinning...
"Satena is the Flame God that taught me Flame God Slayer magic... If too many people find out about my magic they'll know Satena is still alive..." I whispered.
"still alive?" he repeated as if he was an echo.
"People tried to kill him because he's the only Flame God left... They think he's the one who killed the rest... but he didn't..."
"... YOUR A FLAME GOD SLAYER?! HO-"
I slapped my hand over his mouth.
"Shaddup."
I removed my hand and sighed. I stopped crying, though my face was stained of tears.
"They know Satena is the only one left, so if people know they'll know it was Satena who taught me..."
Gildarts stared at me, as if he was interested in my words.
I slapped my hands over my face and threw myself back so I lay on the branch again.
"This too much!" I screamed and shouted through irritation, anger, guilt and sadness.
My head was spinning.
I closed my eyes, hoping I would disappear into the thin air.
There was silence... the only noise was the gentle breeze which carried my hair and tail.
"Y'know..." I whispered, breaking the silence.
I heard Gildars shuffle closer to me.
Me leg dangled on the edge.
"I died on this cliff..." I grinned softly.
I didn't know why, but I laughed at my words along with the memory.
My hand rested on my forehead, my eyes closed.
"Huh?" he asked, clearly confused.
"Natsu killed me..." I grinned.
"Wha-?"
"Gray ran into Natsu, I fell off the cliff because of Natsu..."
I could tell Gildarts knew I was Lucy, but wasn't completely sure.
"Its just death… this is simply the way I'm going to die…" I repeated my last words.
I opened my eyes gently.
The moonlight locked reflected in my brown eyes, as I stared at the purple-blue moon.
"Lucy, huh?" I sighed as I rolled onto my side.
"Lucy?! Your L-Lucy?"
I nodded. "mm."
"Does everyone know?"
"No. I cant be asked to!" I said, slightly back into my childish side.
I shot up.
"I NEED TO SEE ROGUE AND STING!" I shouted to myself.
I jumped down the tree.
"Later, Gilly Dilly!" I giggled.
"She called me Gilly Dilly!" I heard him say before fainting.
I ran into the forest.
I was in deep thought.
Satena... I'm Sorry...
"Satena doesn't mind, Lucy. As long as your happy... Satena holds no regrets..." whispered a soft voice.
I stopped running and drifted to a stop.
"Satena..." I whispered to myself. "Are you there?"
"I live in your heart and nowhere else..."
"Stop talking like your dead!"
"I am... I live in your heart... I only live in your heart..."
Silence...
The soft breeze danced with the trees and the leaves.
For the first time in my life... I felt the breeze on me...
"It's cold and calming..." I whispered to myself.
"Lucy~!"
"Yeah,Satena?"
"The day you feel the cold calming breeze touch your warm smooth skin, is the day I'll leave with no regrets..."
"you spoke your last words to me in my head? Your gone, huh?"
I sighed.
I blinked my tears away.
"When I leave, no tears, ok, Lucy? Smile for me! So the last face I see; is my faithful student smiling for me. I don't want to forget your smile... Even when I'm gone..."
Satena's words sang in my head.
I forced a smile on me.
"Don't forget my smiling face, now!" I joked through a smile.
I took a deep breath.
"YOSH!"I grinned.
"I need to my cheerful happy self! And Sting and Rogue still need to feed me... They wont be happy with me because of the way I left things though... Nyaaa~!" I whined as I ran.
I stopped in front of the guild.
I climbed through the window.
"Nyaa~!" I Stretched.
"Sting! Rogue!" I sang.
"Nyaa..." said a voice.
I blinked with a poker face..."Nyaa? Its not Nyaa! ITS NYAAA~! I must correct the person who said this wrong..."
I walked through the room, with my tail and hair dancing together.
My ears pricked up slightly.
"Sting? Rogue?"
"Nyaa!" said the voice again.
"ITS NYAA~! NOT NYAA!" I snapped.
"No full human can say it right!" I sighed.
"Rogue, Sting!Where are you?"
My ears pricked up as I caught a little muffled 'stop'.
"Sting... Ro-" "NYYAAAA!" I Screamed as I fell to the floor.
My head hit the floor.
I feel so dizzy...
I caught a glimpse of a shadow walk across the room to me.
"Who says "Nyaa"? Its "Kyaa"!" Said the figure.
My ears twitched.
That wasn't Sting or Rogue... That was the...
"PERVY NINJA!" I shouted, shooting to my feet with an accusing finger.
Akemi sighed and he stepped out of the shadows.
"Jeez, you , kitty, just cant chill, can you?" he sighed.
"Why are you here? Where is Sting and Rogue?" I asked quickly.
Akemi put his hand on my finger and pushed it down.
He smirked at me.
"We're going to make a deal."
I blinked at him with my poker face.
"... We are?"
Akemi got angry at me and put an accusing finger at me.
"Yes! We are!"
"Since when was this?!" I asked.
He sighed at my stupidity and face-palmed himself.
"Your sexy, but your really slow, aren't you?"
"...Eh?"
"We're going to make a deal."
"Whats the deal?" I Asked.
"Its;"
