~After Story~

-:Chapter Fifty-One:-

.

Hjin unfolded the crumbled letter. His blue eyes would have set it on fire if that would be enable to exist such chemistry. Laxus will sure get a good piece of his thoughts after taking Lisanna.

"I will kill him." pressing the words through his tightly gritted teeth. Pushing himself from the bed edge, he quickly took on a shirt. Plucking the letter down in a pocket he was about to open the door into his room, but it instead got open from the outside by…

"Hjin! Natsu- He!"

Hjin could only stare at the blonde female. Lucy looked like she just had run a hundred meter marathon.

"You have to save him!" his eyes widened when he noticed tears running down her flushed cheeks.

"Lucy? What happened?" walking over to her, he laid his hands on her trembling shoulder. She flung into him at the touch, drenching his black shirt with tears. "Lucy…" breathing it out her name as he gently took her closer to him, he heard the noise of paper being crunched coming from the woman.

"I-I found this o-outside on the balcony." she sobbed and showed him the piece of paper. Furrowing his brows together as he read the words. More force from his jaw and his teeth would crack, because now he was extremely mad. "Please Hjin, help him."


"Natsu… Natsu, wake up. Please."

Who's calling? Natsu didn't know, but the voice sounds so familiar. Reaching out for it he winced when something hit his cheek hard and flat on. The stinging sensation increased when another other hard hit on the other cheek.

Grunting in displeasure, he retreated his hand and held it close to his face, seeing the thick red liquid from his heart run down, drenching his hand and arm with it. The rusty smell filling his nose to the brim of nausea. He desperately needed to throw up, but as he start gagging nothing came but mere screams of pain, pain coming from his throat but not his own voice.

"Natsu?"

L…ucy?

Pictures of his beloved one flashed before him. He tried to grab one of them, only to have them flow down like sand between his fingers.

"Papa, I love Papa."

"Pa~"

Toshiro, Hoshi…

New images came through. The smiling features of his sons made it sting deep down in his heart.

It felt as if he was flying. His body feels like air, like a bird up above the clouds. Pictures of Lucy, Toshiro and Hoshi flashing before him.

Gray, Gajeel and Jellal sitting together with him and the girls sitting in each belonging boyfriends' lap. All, except Natsu, clad up in school uniforms.

Macao. Makarov. Romeo. Hjin. Mira. Elfman. Nab.

All of them, together as a big happy family, despite their criminal pasts.

A bright light struck his eyes. Shielding his eyes from the light he blinked a few times to let them get used to it. His eyes widened when the worried face of a woman with deep blue eyes and short white hair lean over him with tears prickling the corner of her big eyes.

"Natsu!" it was her voice he had heard.

Suddenly, it felt like the air was punched out of his chest. Coughing in shock his breath became into short gasps.

Light. Bright fine light met him good morning as he finally came to.

"L-Lisanna…" talking with a dry throat is painful. Swallowing down the little saliva he had left in his dry mouth he tried to move his hand to feel and hear the rustle of chains prevent him from doing his demand.

"Natsu? Thank God! You are alive!"

He blinked.

"Why wouldn't I be?" he asked her, his voice less raspy. Lisanna only shook her head and flung herself at him, embracing the man with tears running down the sides of her face.

Not until then he sensed how sore he really felt. His muscles hurt and he was sure his wrist is sprained.

"I was so worried when Bixlow came in and threw you down on the floor." she sobbed out. His ears registered the sound of a key being insert to a door.

Screeching of the door hinge rang in their ears.

"Well, well, well. Looks like sleeping beauty finally have woken up?" Lisanna shifted so she stood crouched before Natsu. Looking up to Laxus with tears still showing clearly. "What happened to you Natsu? You look like shit."

"Bastard." Natsu sneered, his eyes narrowed to the point of a cat's split pupils. Sensing the heavy atmosphere coming from the man behind, Lisanna stood up. Anger thundering around her.

"Why did you do this? !" she screamed. Natsu was taken aback compared to Laxus, whom only stood there with his hands in pockets. A smug smirk crossing his lips for a split second as he took two steps forward.

Lisanna tensed, but remained still on the spot.

"Zero, does the name sound familiar?" Natsu's deep forest green eyes bore deep into Laxus' brown ones. "Oh? What's with that look?"

"Are you in same team as him?" Natsu asked, his voice hoarse, but deep and dripping with lust of killing. Laxus let loose a fit of laughter.

Lisanna shivered. Never had she heard Natsu sounding so… murderous. It scared her, but not enough to let her tremble in fear.

Laxus came to a stop of his laughing. "Yeah, you could say so, yes." he answered the cherry red haired man.

"If he believes I will pass my family for 16 years, then he can dream on."

Laxus crossed his arms behind his back.

He's starting to like this much more than he first had thought.


Gray sat with his arms crossed over his chest as Lucy, Hjin and company sits in front of him in a ring of chairs. It was dead quiet, except for Lucy's constant sobs and Levy's comforting words.

"I'm such horrible girlfriend. I can't even do anything to help him. I'm a weakling."

"Lu-chan, don't say that." Levy is really worried about her friend. But who wouldn't be?

Erza and Cana for sure was worried form the hearts, but they can't sit around and do nothing against this thing.

Hjin looked up to Gray, his ice blue irises boring into Gray's cool indigo orbs.

"Gray, you are the only one who can track him down."

"I hardly believe that they let Natsu have his phone with him," he answered the older man with a sigh.

"But there got to be something-"

"But luckily his lip piercing his installed with a micro track sensor."


Dang it Gray, you sure are the Hacker! ;) So? What did you think? Even if it was short it still must have been some sort of renewed interest? Right?

Natsu: She's really concerned that no one likes the story anymore.

Me: Am not- oh wait… you are right… TT_TT I'm really worried about it.

Natsu: Women…

Me: *snaps* What was that? *crack knuckles*

Natsu: What was that Lucy? Want me to change Hoshi's diaper? Coming! *runs away*

Me: COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE MORON! *chasing him*

*cough* Please leave a review, or maybe 2? :3 I love everybody so much… I don't know what I should be doing without you all :')

Love F-T-K~
