Okay, I'm feeling a little better today since no more deadlines except for the on the job training and changing the thesis titles… Also studying some… Argh! Thinking about them makes me restless… I cried in the last chapter, too. Oh, yeah, good news, after this story, my mind hatched another NaLu fanfic story, still under construction. This fanfic will be ongoing too, just some extra or omake chapters. But still, this is not done yet.
Luna and Gajeel saw them unconscious and Natsu, dead.
"Natsu… Don't do this to me… Please…" Lucy begged him. Natsu just smiled and left. "No… Natsu… NATSU!"
Lucy woke up, her tears flow to the nightmare she dream. But sleeping or waking up, it's still the same.
Natsu's gone.
"Lu-chan! Are you alright?"
Lucy just nods.
"Where is Natsu?"
"He is in the other room…"
Lucy gets up as quickly as she can and went to the other room. He saw the twins beside him mourning. Tsuna is hiding his face so no one will see him cry while Luna is crying so much. It is really heartbreaking in seeing her twins like that; they didn't get the chance to be with their father. She saw Igneel pulls Natsu's black scarf.
"This scarf is worn out… Its protection powers are drained… I have to replace them…"
Igneel left. Lucy felt the silent dragon is affected by Natsu's death, too. But his face said otherwise.
("My son is very reckless… The scarf absorbed the impact… But it is too powerful for the scarf to handle and it… got him…"). He turned back, he saw his son's family cried, and he only just sighed.
"Dad... We're sorry…" Luna sniffles. "We forgive you that you left us but… We're sorry we never gave you a chance to be our Dad… We're sorry…"
"Hey…" Lucy embraces them. "At least, your Dad is now in heaven. He is at peace now…" It pains her that she didn't show her love to him or even just settle things out today.
"You're an idiot… How can I be Lucy H. Dragneel… If you're not here anymore…" Lucy cries. "You don't know… How much I loved you… I love you even it hurts so much…" she brushes his hair.
"How can you be so stoic when your own son is gone?" Erza exclaimed,
"And you seemed to know about the Elixir, Sir," Levy continued.
"Yeah… I heard the twins he is the one suggested that,"
"You don't know but… My son is very precious to me. So precious, that I'll do my best not to let him die,"
"I'll do anything you say… Just come back… I'll avoid you if you want to, I'll cook anything for you… Just please, our twins suffered enough…"
"Mama, don't say that… Dad doesn't want you to do that," Luna hugs her bunny and Natsu's hand.
"He wants us to be a family, even without him," Tsuna said, still, his face is hidden.
"Ah!" Igneel stretches, standing up. "Alright… Alright… I'm through this… Halt manipulation… Deactivated,"
He snaps his fingers.
Natsu opens his eyes. He saw the crying Lucy. ("She's been crying again… Damn it!")
Luna saw the conscious Natsu.
"Daddy!" Luna screamed. She hugs him tight, crying. Tsuna and Lucy looked at Natsu. All of their sorrowful cries became tears of joy. The twins ran to the living room to tell others.
Lucy turned around, she is just too happy to see him well. But she kept distant to him (Just a little), since this is the first time they meet again after 20 years.
A pair of arms went to her waist and she felt the flame mage's warm chest.
"You'll do anything I said, right?" he smirks; making Lucy buried her strawberry colored face into his chest. He smiles. "Then, don't leave me ever again."
"You idiot,"
I created tragic stories since high school but I want to change my routine (Maybe because I'm loveless that time?) Believe me, I made some people cry in my original stories, but I'm into fan fictions right now… Change of mood I guess… Anyway, I know this is short; explanations of what happened will be on next chapter. (Maybe there will be fluff…) R & R! Thanks for reading!
