Sorry for the really late update, guess I lost track of time here DX. Before I forget again, in the last chapter I forgot to say this, Thanks ThePartyHasEntered, for the idea, You reminded me of what I wanted to do, plus the splitting up thing was a great idea XD. Anyway hope you guys like this chapter.
It was the afternoon. Natsu sat on his bed eagerly. He was hoping to be able to leave today. He was way too bored to stay in the hospital with Erza. He missed a lot of school too. Erza brought him homework and made him do it everyday. There was way too much. Not that that changed when he went back to school. But doing it while Erza watched you, made you feel like you were about to die.
Erza stood by the door, watching Natsu get out of the bed.
" Did you sleep at all Erza?" Natsu asked.
" I did,"
" While keeping watch on me?"
" I'm a light sleeper." Erza replied.
Natsu sighed and leaned against the window, " When do I get to leave?"
" The doctor said tonight. "
" Yes!" Natsu exclaimed fist bumping the wall, " Finally!"
Erza smiled.
Lucy woke up and sat up on her bed. She scanned her room. Neither Gray or Juvia were in her bedroom. Lucy took this chance to take a bath and change her clothes. When she stepped into the kitchen area, Gray and Juvia were both sitting on the couch helping themselves to whatever food they could find, at this point was a bag of chips and a bowl of popcorn.
" Morning Lucy," Gray and Juvia said in unison. They turned to face each other and smiled.
" Morning. I see you guys helped yourselves to the food." Lucy noted.
" Yeah, we didn't want to cook anything, so we just took these." Gray said holding up the bag of chips.
Lucy walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bag of chips. " I guess we're going to school now huh?"
" Yeah, its safer there so there's no need for me to stay with you the entire day." Gray said.
" Okay," Lucy grabbed her things and waited for Juvia and Gray by the door. When they walked to her, the left to their school.
" Erza?"
" Yes Natsu?"
" Aren't you going to head to school or something?" Natsu asked. He was currently sitting on the bed. " Your the prefect aren't you? You should be there."
" Yes, but I'm making sure your safe."
" Are you kidding? I can take care of myself."
" And look where that got you," Erza replied.
" I was protecting Lucy."
" Which is why I also had Gray go off and watch over her."
" WHAT? Gray?" Natsu yelled shocked.
" Yes," Erza said, " I think he got Juvia to tag along with him," She added seeing Natsu's angry reaction.
The door to the room opened and a nurse appeared, " Excuse me, you have a visitor." The nurse left as someone walked into the room. Erza and Natsu froze in place.
" Zancrow!"
" Hey, hey!" Zancrow laughed , " Great to see ya again.
" Why are you here?" Erza demanded.
" Well, let me think. I'm looking for a certain someone."
" Are you still in Daren's gang?"
" Isn't it obvious? I mean, he's right behind you." Zancrow said.
" What!" Erza turned around immediately. Just as Zancrow said, Daren was standing behind her, his left hand grabbed her shoulder and turned her around facing Natsu, his right hand held a knife.
" Where's the blonde chick?" Zancrow asked.
" If you don't say something your gonna have a nice little bloody friend here." Daren added.
Natsu glared, " I don't know, and even if I did I'd never tell you."
Daren smiled, " Even if it meant loosing a friend?"
Natsu smiled back. Daren frowned. Erza flung her head back smacking right onto Daren's face giving him a bloody nose and causing him to loose his grip on her. She lifted her right leg into a good roundhouse kick knocking him off his feet and sending him straight to the floor.
" I wouldn't mess with Erza if I were you." Natsu said. Daren picked himself of the floor wiping his nose with the sleeve of his shirt. Cursing he yelled out a list of names, Natsu couldn't catch all of them. A group of boys came in from both the window and the door. Each one holding some sort of weapon.
" I can't believe your still stuck on her dammit!" Natsu yelled, " She doesn't like you."
" That doesn't matter." A five boys surrounded Erza pointing their weapons at her, " Now woman, tell me, where is Lucy."
" Go to hell." Erza replied. One boy brought down a metal pipe, smacking the back of her head leaving her unconscious.
" Leave Erza alone! " Natsu yelled.
" Now, now. We'll leave you all alone once I've got what I'm looking for, now tell me where Lucy is." Zancrow said.
" Hold on Zancrow. I've got an Idea." Daren moved closer to Zancrow and whispered, " Hopefully i'm right and it'll work."
" Huh?"
" Boys, take him with us."
" What?" They all asked confused, " Bring him with us? Are you kidding?"
" We'll get some answers. In the mean time, Zancrow why don't you go find Lucy. If things don't go as planned we'll get her either way. Even if we have to use force." Daren grinned, " Now everyone. I'll be using it now."
Daren's gang backed up. Natsu stared, " huh?" Daren threw a small round marble. Once it hit the ground gas exploded from the tiny object. " Wha-?" Natsu fell to the floor.
" Knock out gas. How'd you like that huh? Pinky." Daren nodded, grinning at his achievement. " Now, lets get moving."
" I've spoke to the doctor. They said Natsu's would be able to leave soon." Gray said.
" That's great!" Lucy exclaimed, " Then we can all go to school together and hang out like before." Lucy jumped around excited.
" I think your a little too excited."
" Guess your right." Lucy agreed.
" Juvia thinks its great. " Juvia said. " Lucy-san cares for her friends."
" Haha,"
" Excuse me, doctor." Lucy and the others looked at the counter where some doctors and a nurse stood.
" Yes?"
" One of the rooms door has been broken, and a strange group of teenaged boys came through the hall earlier entering the same room. I checked in a few moments ago. The patient isn't in his room. And a young lady was out cold on the floor." The nurse said.
" Oh my. Is she alright?"
" Yes, ma'am. I already looked at her."
" Thats good. Now the-"
" Excuse me." Lucy walked over to the doctor and the nurse, " But, could you please tell us what this patients name is?"
" Lucy?"
The doctor looked down at her clip board and showed it to the nurse who pointed to a certain number.
" The room is where, Natsu Dragneel is."
" Natsu?"
" Then, that ' young lady' is Erza!" Gray said.
Lucy and Gray ran down the hall. Juvia followed, " Thanks for your help!" Lucy yelled out. The doctor looked at them confused.
Lucy, Gray and Juvia ran to the door where Natsu's room is, and where Erza was currently staying. Lucy opened the door.
" Erza!"
" Lucy? Gray, Juvia?" Erza asked surprised.
" What happened?"
Erza sighed, " Daren."
" D-Daren? Y-you mean..." Lucy started.
" Yes, the same guy that chased you around last year, and the same one that broke out of prison."
" ..."
" Where's Natsu?"
" I don't know. When I came too, there was a nurse by my side."
" So then that means..."
" NATSU WAS KIDNAPPED?"
" That idiot."
" What do we do?"
" Tsk. This is going to be hard if we don't know where there taking him or what for." Erza said.
" Then I guess we'll just have to find out." Gray said.
" But how?"
" Daren has some gang members right? Like Zancrow?"
" Yeah."
" He's still after you."
" So then, sooner or later he'll send someone to get me?"
" Right, and when that happens."
" We'll beat the shit out of them and make them tell us." Gray concluded.
" That's the best we can do for now." Erza said.
" Then, we're going to continue on with what we would do." Juvia said.
I apologize for the long wait, and it wasn't even a long chapter -_-. I'll still be trying to update as much as possible.
