Elements Of The Heart

Chapter 38

Fire And Light

Lucy opened her eyes gently and spotted her savior all around her, illuminating her entire being. She was in the form of her Light Pillar, but if Lucy looked close enough she could make out Hikari's smiling face at her.

"Lucy?"

Lucy smiled as she turned around, "Natsu!"

He was there right behind her, but as a fireball. Lucy didn't seem to care at all as she giggled and threw her arms around her; Natsu started chuckling as well feeling himself being engulfed in a warm light. They didn't need to stay in this form though, Hikari's words hand in Lucy's ears and she pulled back.

"Hold on a second." Lucy said touching her wrist.

She started tracing the tattoo of the Heart Element on her wrist, feeling a small surge of power coarse through her. She felt Hikari's voice tickling her ears, whispering her the instructions on how to make Natsu a light being so she could see and touch him. A bright pulse ran across the land, shaking everything it passed and making it all take shape. Natsu blinked as he looked around him, suddenly seeing buildings and people, animals, trees, all sorts of things, but most of all important, Lucy.

He reached his hand out for her cheek and cupped it, stroking it with his thumb. Lucy looked up and saw Natsu, really saw him this time with a body and everything.

"Hey there." She winked.

Natsu chuckled and leaned over, pressing their lips together. Lucy giggled into the kiss and nibbled at his bottom lip, deepening the kiss between them as she pulled him closer.

"Not that I mind kissing you in the middle of a weird place, but I have a worrying father at home wondering how things are going. Would you mind if we continued over there?"

Lucy laughed, "not at all. I have nothing keeping me here anymore."

"Don't worry Lucy, just like Hikari was saying once we come back from visiting we can completely take control of your Element with our flaming fists!" Natsu laughed.

Lucy shook her head and shoved him lightly, tugging at his hand, "sounds like a plan Natsu! Come on!"

Natsu's father sighed as he sat in front of the Inferno, praying over it for his son's success and safety. Unknowing to him, Natsu was sneaking up the mountain with Lucy right by his side, pressing a finger against his mouth telling Lucy to keep quiet. He tip toed right behind Kai and got ready to yell and scare the living daylights out of him.

"It's nice to see you back Natsu, I take it everything went well?"

Natsu blew out a raspberry and walked in front of his father, "how'd you know?!"

"I'm your father, I know everything. So how did it go?"

Natsu grinned as he knelt down, "why don't you see for yourself? Lucy, come on over."

Lucy gulped as she made herself known. Kai hummed and turned around, blinking. He saw a bright light floating in the middle of nowhere and chuckled. So this was the Light Element that had captured his son's heart.

"Nice to meet you Lucy, you look very beautiful, way too good looking for my son." He chuckled holding out a hand.

"Natsu, that's enough. Hurry up and make me known before I do." Lucy frowned.

"Hahahah! I just wanted to see what his reaction would be. One second pops." Natsu said using his powers.

Kai blinked and suddenly saw this beautiful young lady in front of him, smiling shyly with a blush on her face.

"Wow... I really wasn't lying before, you are beautiful. Are you sure you're with my son?" Kai asked.

"Hehehe, I know right! Hey! Wait a minute!" Natsu yelled at him.

Lucy giggled and grabbed his hand, shaking it tightly. "Nice to meet you Kai, I'm Lucy Heartfilia, your son's future wife."

Kai's eyes went wide and his jaw dropped. Natsu started chuckled as he walked over, wrapping an arm around his future wife's waist.

"Now that was the reaction I was looking for, we should have opened with that in the beginning." He told Lucy.

"You, you, married?!" Kai asked in shock.

Lucy's smile slightly dropped while Natsu blinked, tilting his head.

"Yeah, do you have a problem with that?"

Tears filled Kai's eyes, "never in my life did I think the day would come where my son gets married, let alone a girlfriend! Oh great savior Inferno! Thank you! Thank you!" Kai started worshiping.

"DAD!" Natsu yelled.

Lucy's laughter became too much, she started holding the side of her hips to contain it. After enough teasing, Kai walked back over and engulfed Lucy into a giant hug.

"Welcome to the family daughter, come. We have to introduce you to the rest of our village and have a huge feast! Tonight! We party!" Kai cheered.

"WHOOO! HOORAY!" Natsu cheered running past them.

Kai chuckled and offered Lucy his hand as he helped her down the mountain.

"Are you sure you're making the right choice love?" Kai asked, "forever is a very long time."

"I think you should be asking your son that question, I honestly can't see why he picked me. All I've complained about to him was about my family, my faults, everything that's wrong with me since I believed... I thought I'd never see him. It's real easy to tell the truth to someone when you're not face to face, but now that we are... I just still can't believe he loves me." Lucy blushed, covering her mouth with her hand.

"If you would have been here when Natsu was trying to find a way to you, you wouldn't be feeling that. You should have seen him Lucy, I've never seen Natsu so passionate about something before. Don't doubt about what you have is real or not, I was just warning you that my son does have a one track mind and is a little... dumb to put frank." Kai shrugged.

Lucy giggled and looked over at Natsu, "well I think those are things that set him apart from the rest. I'm looking forward of being your daughter in the future, father." Lucy grinned.

Kai started shedding tears as he pulled Lucy in for another hug, "trust me dear. The pleasures going to be all mine.
