Random: Well hello all! It's been a month since I updated and I feel REALLY bad but I have a couple of other stories that I'm working on…
Oh, and… Fairytailnoitall. She actually IS Laxus' sister. Didn't you read the first few chapters? I addressed that.
I have one question for you all though, what do you think of Mikaila? Do you think she's stealing too much of the limelight? Do you think we should kill her off? I don't know what you think so I don't know if I should go on pushing with Mikaila being some sort of "make shift coach" but I'll let you guys decide that. Please tell me what you think in a review!
And also, I have a Poll up! It decides which fanfic I am going to focus on more. So you just HAVE to check that out if you really want me to update this more.
You guys should also check out my new Fairy Tail Fanfic "A New Fairy Tail".
That's it! I don't own anything so… enjoy!

Chapter 24: Losing You
Lepus revved up the Magic Motorcylce and drove.
Mikaila had to clutch onto the Celestial Spirit for dear life.
"If I wasn't, like most Dragon Slayers, immune to getting sick when riding a Magic Motorcycle my hurl would be in your face right now" she yelled so he could hear her over the howling wind but Lepus only smirked and made the Motorcycle go faster, causing it to rear up before lurching forward.
Mikaila let out a girly scream, Lepus chuckled before grinning like a mad man while Mikaila glared at him.
Watch my life,
Pass me by,
In the rear view mirror
Pictures frozen in time
Are becoming clearer
He looked forward and saw a solid script arrow just as it grazed his cheek.
"Jason…" Mikaila said in a hushed voice.
Lepus frowned at the tone she used when referring to the Solid Script Mage.
I don't wanna waste another day
Stuck in the shadow of my mistakes
Yeah...
"We're catching up again…" he said in a quieter voice.
Mikaila turned to look at her spirit, worried.
"Lepus…"
Cause I want you,
And I feel you,
Crawling underneath my skin
She was about to ask him what was wrong but a sudden jolt of electricity in her shoulder caused her to cringe in pain.
Lepus, sensing his master's distress, hugged her with one arm so that she leaned on him and didn't fall over.
His right hand kept the Motorcycle steady.
Like a hunger,
Like a burning,
To find a place I've never been
Mikaila thrashed in his arms, causing sparks to jump from her wound and onto her spirit.
"Mikaila, you have to calm down" he said, wincing in pain as the electricity coursed through his body.
The Magic Motorcycle started going faster.
He looked down to see Mikaila fastening the S.E. Plug onto her own arm, she pointed a shaky finger at Jason and Gray up ahead and Lepus knew what to do.
"Alright, I'll beat them for you Mikaila" he straightened his back, his master still twitching as she leaned against him.
He had to protect her, and he had to win this.
Now I'm broken,
And I'm faded,
I'm half the man I thought I would be
So when he was close enough to his two opponents he gave the fight everything he had, every drop of his courage and magic.
Jason glared at him of course, but who could blame him really?
His master really was something…
"I'm not your master…" Mikaila muttered.
He looked down at her and raised a brow.
Did he say that out loud?
"Yes…" she giggled.
Lepus gave her an incredulous look.
"I'm not your master, I'm your friend! Right?"
But you can have what's left of me
He smiled, of course she'd say that.
But he humored her anyway…
"Right…"
I've been dying inside,
Little by little,
They turned around when they reached the end of the camp site.
Lepus spotted Laxus going up against Gajeel and took a short detour.
"Laxus!" refastening the S.E. Plug onto his arm, he rode around the large blonde man and threw Mikaila towards him.
"Ack~! LEPUS!" she screamed in mid-air.
No where to go,
But going out of my mind
In endless circles,
Laxus hurriedly fumbled to catch her, surprised that the girl's spirit would just throw her aside like that.
"Oi! What was that for? You DO know you're throwing your Master around like a sack of potatoes, right Douche Fox?" Gajeel raised a brow as Laxus gave the Spirit a quick glare.
The Spirit only chuckled.
Running from my self until,
You gave me a reason for standing still
"What can I say? I knew you would catch her!" He grinned like a madman before driving away.
{oOo~ Circle of Life ~oOo}
"Oi! We're not done sparring stripper!" Natsu yelled as soon as he was sure Erza was gone.
Cause I want you,
And I feel you,
Crawling underneath my skin
She said something about escorting Wendy somewhere?
And Wendy mentioned something about wanting information from Mikaila.
Oh well, the important part is…!
He's alone. With Lucy.
Uh oh.
Like a hunger,
Like a burning,
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken,
And I'm faded,
I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can have... what's left of me!
"Honestly Natsu, you're so loud" she massaged her temples but on the inside she was laughing.
Natsu stood still, his back to her, the wind whipping his scarf in different directions
It's falling faster,
Barely breathing,
Give me something,
To believe in
'Mavis… what is he thinking?' Lucy thought, raising a brow.
Tell me it's not all in my head~!
"Sorry…"
Her eyes widened.
"What?" she accidentally let the thought slip out, she slapped a hand over her mouth.
"I said, I'm sorry…" he repeated, looking at the ground.
Take what's left
Of this man
"Sorry for what?" Lucy said, moving closer to him.
Make me whole
Once again
"I'm sorry… for annoying you" he said, simply.
Lucy was about to object but he kept talking.
Cause I want you,
And I feel you,
Crawling underneath my skin
"I'm sorry for always getting you in trouble, I'm sorry for being… what did Mikaila call it? Insasensotive?" she suppressed the urge to laugh because she knew he wasn't joking…
He was serious about this.
Like a hunger,
Like a burning,
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken,
And I'm faded,
I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can have... what's left of me.
"I'm sorry for being so reckless, and I'm sorry for not being there for you when Devan hurt you and the others…" he continued.
Lucy rolled her eyes and placed a careful hand on his shoulder, forcefully turning him around.
I've been dying inside you see
I'm going out of my mind
Out of my mind
I'm just running in circles all the time
She almost forgot all that she was supposed to say when she saw that he was looking down, and even worse…
There were tears running down his cheeks.
This was really bothering him!
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left of me?
Just running in circles in my mind
"But you were there everytime before, and you got there! That's what's important! Maybe… maybe if I was stronger I wouldn't need for you to save me all the time" Lucy reasoned with him, cupping one side of his face with her free hand.
"I've already lost a lot of things… I thought Igneel was the worst." He said, wiping his tears away.
"I realized, losing you…" He finally looked right into Lucy's chocolate brown eyes, his expression hardening.
"I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I lost you Lucy…"
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left of me?
{oOo~ TBC ~oOo}
Well there you go! Finally got enough inspiration to write some NaLu~! :D
Too cheesy?
Oh well, I'm not really a romantic so this is the best I've got for now ;)
I don't own "What's Left of Me" by Nick Lachey or Fairy Tail of course.
Keep it RaNdOm ;)
