Enjoy chapter 20! :) sorry it being late, forgive me :(
October 28th
9:00am
Fairytail's Infirmary
...
The gentle rays of sunlight shined through the windows of the Infirmary, some of the light on Crystal's sleeping face. Natsu sat by her bed, watching over her with worried eyes. She hasn't woken up since their trip to Higarama.
She was lying in the snow, unconscious and lost alot of blood. She'll be fine.
At least, that's what Porlyuscia said when she got to the guild. Natsu sighed heavily as dark grey clouds in the sky covered the sky, the sun covered. Natsu placed his hand on her head, it was ice cold.
Her whole body was cold as ice.
"Chrissy..." Natsu whispered. "Wake up already, dummy."
"You're scaring me..." Natsu frowned as he held her small, cold hand in his warm ones. He placed her hand on his face, rubbing it against his cheek.
"You're body's colder than ice... Erza said that's bad." Natsu forced a smile to come to his face. "She said you can get something called hypo-... Hypo... Hypothermia! Yes, that's the word..."
The pinkette chuckled faintly. "You know Crystal, if you die... I-I won't be able to live with myself."
Tears started to come to the pinkette's eyes, thinking about the worst case scenarios that could happen. Her body could freeze to death, Hypothermia... Natsu's lips trembled as he tried to smile.
Water from the sky started to pour down heavily, setting the mood.
"Crystal... You're my world, y-you can't leave me..."
Natsu's sobs were heard through the room, playing over and over like a sad song on the piano. His tears fell on her stomach, soaking into the thin material of the green robe she had on.
"Crying won't help, boy." A old woman's voice was heard in the room. Natsu wiped his tears and looked towards the door. A woman with pink hair was standing in the doorway.
"Porlyuscia..."
She closed the door behind her and walked to the other side of Crystal's bed.
"You kids and you're dumb decisions. This is why I hate humans.." Porlyuscia spat.
"You're human too..." Natsu pointed out.
"That's not the point." She looked at Crystal's body, frowning.
"She's still cold?" She asked. Natsu nodded sadly.
"Natsu, you have abnormal body heat, right?" Porlyuscia questioned, Natsu nodded again. She sighed.
"You have to warm her up. Nothing we're doing is helping, you try and warm her up with your body heat. Take off your clothes and hers, you go on top of her."
Natsu's face turned red. "What?!"
"Your feelings for Crystal are strong. Use your desire for her to make her feel warm again." Porlyuscia told him.
"Feelings?! W-what feelings?! Crystal's my best friend-"
"Didn't you propose to her a few years ago?"
His face turned white. "S-so what..."
"What was her answer?"
He looked off to the side, frowning. "She said that she wasn't ready to get married yet. But she wasn't saying "no" exactly... She said to try again when we're older..."
Porlyuscia chuckled. "You two were both 17 at the time, it explains alot Natsu. Now get to it, it may work."
The pink haired old woman walked out the infirmary room, shutting the door softly. Natsu blushed as he took off his shirt, got up and took off his pants and slippers. He gulped as he took off his boxers, leaving him stark naked in the cold room.
Natsu took off her night gown, her breasts bouncing out, leaving her in only her underwear. He slipped off her underwear gently off her, Crystal naked as well. Natsu blushed at her naked body fully on display before him.
"This better work." Natsu picked up Crystal's sleeping figure off from the bed and laid in the bed while holding her. He placed her on top of him and pulled the covers over them.
Sooner or later, he fell asleep.
...
45 minutes later
...
The sleeping sky blue haired maiden slowly opened her eyes, the warmth underneath her made her feel relaxed. Crystal looked underneath her, seeing the sleeping pink haired male underneath her.
And... Naked... Crystal flushed as she looked underneath the covers, herself naked as well.
"H-hey... Natsu..." She whispered. He didn't answer.
"Chrissy, wake up..." He said in his sleep. "D-don't leave me.."
Crystal gasped softly but soon turned into a smile. She ran her red tipped fingers through his pink, spiky, soft hair.
"I'll never leave you... Maybe I'll just... Do this once..."
She went in closer to his face. "My memory only."
The bluenette gently presses her lips against his, Natsu still not waking up. She pulled away and smiled, lying back down on his chest and closing her eyes until he woke up. A nice surprise.
Natsu woke up not too long after. He looked at the bluenette, a frown coming to his face.
"No... Fuck.." He placed his hand on his face, growling lowly.
A giggle came from the girl on top of him, she raised her head up and grinned at him. Natsu sighed of relief.
"Don't scare me like that..." Natsu rubbed the top of her head, smiling happily.
"Hello there, sleepyhead."
"You're the sleepyhead. Luce said you went into a mini coma." Natsu's face brightened. "I learned a new word! Hypothermia!"
"Yeah that's great and all but... I'd really like to know why both of us are nakednand why I'm on top of you. If I find out you've been fondling with me in my sleep..." Crystal deadpanned.
"Porlyuscia told me to do it! She said that my heat will warm you u-"
"YOUR HEAT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY 'YOUR HEAT?!'"
The door of the room opened, a black haired girl with dark brown eyes came through, smiling.
"Hey Natsu! Is Crystal awake yet-" She stopped, her face white as she saw the two of them underneath the covers, naked. Kiyoko stood there in shock. Crystal blushed fifty shades of red.
"N-no! Kiyoko! I- this isn't what it looks like!" Crystal tried to explain, Natsu smirked.
"Now come now, Crystal... One doesn't go fuck and tell now, do they?" He smirked evilly. The two girls' faces turned white, their mouths gapping.
"NATSU DRAGNEEL!" Crystal shrieked. Kiyoko nervously laughed as she slowly backed up into a wall but then went out the door. Crystal faced Natsu, glaring.
"GET ME OFFFFFFF!" She struggled out of his grip around her waist, she fell out of the infirmary bed, landing head first on the ground, her bare butt sticking up in the air.
Natsu snickered at her current position. "Dummy."
Crystal groaned as she sat up, rubbing the big red bump on her head. She pouted.
"Oww... What happened just now...?" She got up and headed towards the door like a drunk person, opening the door and walking out. All the men had hearts in their eyes, drooling coming from their mouths. It's like she had no awareness of what happened just now.
"CRYSTALA DRAGNELA! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING WALKING AROUND LIKE THAT?!" The scarlet haired woman fumed, veins popping out of her head.
Crystal raised an eyebrow. Lucy walked over to her with a black jacket, sweatdropping.
"Here you go, wear this. You need it."
"Why? Does anyone else feel a draft?"
"Just look down." Lucy sighed. Crystal looked down, her face becoming red as she stooped down, attempting to cover herself. She screamed.
"AND ALL OF YOU PERVERTED MEN DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT JUST STARE!" Erza yelled at all the men, they slowly backed away, fearing they might envoke her wrath even more. The redhead sighed as she went down to Crystal's level.
"You just woke up from a mini coma. You should be resting, Crystal. It's cold outside." Erza scolded the bluenette. Crystal pouted cutely.
"Sorry Erza-sama..."
"Now go put on some clothes. You're reminding me of Gray."
The bluenette nodded, getting up and taking the black jacket from Lucy, putting it on. She buttoned the buttons that reached her waist. She was still waist naked down.
"Look ya clothes, weirdo." The pinkette came behind her, holding up a pair of lime, lacy green panties and her jeans. Crystal took it and went by the bar counter, attempting to cover her privates as she reached over into where Mirajane was to put on her clothes.
Natsu laughed.
"Why did you let her go outside like that?" Lucy sweatdropped.
"Because it was funny."
"No it isn't." The sky blue haired assassin came from behind the counter, puffing up her cheeks. Natsu smirked at her.
"At least I know you shave down there. Nice and clean~"
The place became dead silent, a deadly and murderous aura forming around three women. Crystal, Kiyoko and Erza. All the men shivered in fear, even Elfman. Natsu's face had regret and fear written all over his face as he was sweating balls.
"We could talk about this ladies..." Natsu started backing up. The women came closer, smirking evilly with a devilish glint in their eyes. They cracked their knuckles.
"Natsu Drag~neel..." Crystal chuckled darkly.
"You crossed the line at staring at a girl's privates. Even if you are a boy and that's your nature. It's not gentleman like..." Kiyoko warned.
"You're about to learn, a very important lesson. Just because we're women..." Erza started Crystal walked up to him, leaning into his ear.
"Doesn't mean we can't destroy you..."
With that, a fight broke out between them, fists and kicks flying everywhere and soon everyone joined in on it. Lucy sat at the bar with Mirajane, sweatdropping.
"Dear Mavis..." Mirajane giggled. Lucy nodded.
"But you know..."
Natsu threw Elfman at Mirajane, them both crashing, Elfman knocked out on top of Mirajane. Lucy shrieked.
"I think it's fun, don't ya think?" Mirajane smiled, her face going white as blood came from her forehead.
"MIRA!"
...
It's great to get into a fight after nearly freezing to death, yeah?

November 2nd
10:00am
Tamuki's Clothing Store
...
Crystal was in the back room of the clothing store that was filled with assassin clothes, designer clothes, fabrics and jewels. She was sitting on a chair in front a desk and waiting for a old friend to arrive. The door opened, a man with slick back, white hair and blue eyes walked in wearing a white suit.
He took a seat behind the desk, smiling at the bluenette. This man's name is Tamuki Shirakawa. He's a tailor who designs/makes clothes for everyone, including assassins. He was one but retired a few years back.
"Good morning Crystal. It's been a while, my dear." Tamuki greeted with a warm smile.
(Tamuki has the English voice like Shuu from Tokyo Ghoul)
Crystal smiled back. "Yes it has, Tamuki-sensei."
"Drop the honorifics cupcake. Just call me Takumi, we're friends here. Relax."
"You were always so laid back, Tamuki." Crystal grinned. Tamuki laughed a bit.
"So how's school? How's life? Get a job besides the assassin business?" Takumi asked. Crystal shook her head.
"I didn't come here for that. I came here to put in a order for the 25th of this month. A dress." Crystal told him, getting straight to the point. Tamuki chuckled.
"Alright. What order? What type of dress? Material? Design? Come on gimme something to work with baby girl."
Crystal sweatdropped. "Still with the sweet name calling I see."
"Ah what can I say? You're just too sweet." Tamuki winked at her, grinning.
"Anyways. The dress is for my Graduating Prom for College and who other to come for a beautiful, designer dress?" She smiled.
"Alright." Takumi went into the drawers of his desk, pulling out a sketch pad and a pencil. He placed the pencil on the paper, waiting for her to call out the details.
"Um... What colour do you think'll go good with my skin complexion and hair colour?" Crystal nervously asked, sweat trickling down her forehead. The white haired man raised an eyebrow with a "are-you-serious?" Look on his face.
He sighed, placing down the pencil. "How about a silver colour?"
Her face brightened up. "Yeah! Silver! And I was thinking about a slimfitted dress!"
Takumi nodded with a smile. "Yes! Slimfitted that'll cling to your curves! What neckline you want? And strapless? One strap? Two strap?"
"Sweetheart neckline and strapless!" Crystal beamed. Takumi smirked under his breath as he started writing down the details on the paper. Crystal stood up from the chair, placing her hands on her mid thighs.
"I want it up to here, kind of slanted and a nice design coming down. Like... Ruffles coming down and reaching my ankles."
"Oh, a mermaid kind of dress? Okay, okay." He mumbled as he scribbled some more words on the paper. The bluenette sat back down.
"Any jewels? Anything flashy?" Takumi asked. Crystal pondered a bit.
"Diamond, a silver belt with a diamond in the middle. And the material would be silk.. Or satin... You pick something!" She responded. Takumi nodded and wrote the rest on paper.
"250,000J." He said painly.
"Eh?"
"250,000J for the dress. It should be more but I'm giving you a discount here."
Crystal's face turned white. "250,000J? Really? Aww. Can you knock it off a few jewels? For ya girl, Crystal?" She pleaded.
Spending most of her money on Manga, anime franchise and video games... It kind of drains your bank account. She has approximately 100,000J in her bank account. Yep, she originally had 2,000,000J and it all comes down to 100,000J.
Such a responsible adult indeed.
"Is my sweet cheeks broke, again?" Tamuki teased. "Anime and Manga, I presume?"
She nodded her head in shame. Takumi laughed.
"Okay sweetheart. I'll give you a deal. 50,000J for the dress. No lower than that." Takumi offered. Crystal's eyes beamed in excitement, a wide smile on her face.
"REALLY?! YOU MEAN IT?!"
"Anything for you baby girl."
"THANK YOU SO MUCH, TAKUMI! IT MEANS ALOT! THANKS A BUNCH!"
When she was about to open the door to exit, he stopped her.
"One more thing cupcake."
She turned her head, smiling. "Yeah?"
"Hurry up and confess to Natsu, why don't ya?" The white haired man smirked, her cheeks tinted pink.
"Wha-"
"You're making him hold back. A young woman like yourself? A banging body and a pretty face. On top of that, he loves your personality. You're making him hold back, sweetie. Don't end up like Lucy and Natsu, when she was about to confess to him, that's when you came back from your trip after they came back from Tenrou Island. She came in here, crying her eyes out. I don't want you to end up like that."
Crystal's hesrt sank. She felt like she was the cause of Lucy not confessing to Natsu. She shouldn't stop Lucy from confessing to Natsu. By all means, do it. Not like... Crystal likes him or anything.
Crystal frowned. "Natsu doesn't like me... I mean, that way. We're just friends... And holding back? From what?"
"Urges baby. Really dirty urges. Just do me a favor and do it, alright?" Tamuki smiled, Crystal waved him goodbye as she left the store.
Today was the day she had to go meet Princess Hisui in her Castle.
Maybe it'll be good news?
...
Fiore Castle
War room
...
The green haired Princess slammed the folders on the desk in front of a black haired man with brown eyes. He looked at her in confusion.
"This is all the assassins you'll be working with. Names and information." The Princess told him. He rolled his eyes and took out a box of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket, putting it in his mouth and lighting it. Smoking in her face.
Princess Hisui glared at him.
"Please refrain from smoking inside my Castle."
He pulles out the cigarette, smoking. He held it between his two fingers. "Listen Princess. If you wanna go up against Taskimada, you're gonna need all the help you can get and I think telling me what to do is a bad thing on your part."
Princess Hisui smirked. "Correct, I am up against Taskimada but I can easily replace you with anyone else."
That made him shut up, he dropped the cigarette on the floor and stomped it out. He placed his hands on the table.
"Alright. Who's these people I'm gonna be working with? Show me the girls first."
"Keep it professional, Kuroko." Princess Hisui warned. She pulled out the sky blue folder, she opened it, a page printed with a woman with sky blue hair and dark blue eyes. Her information on the side of the picture.
Kuroko picked up the folder, looking at her photo.
"Her name's Crystal Dragnela of the Fairy Tail Assassination Guild. She's the strongest one in her guild."
Kuroko licked his lips. "She's hot."
He looked at the information, nodding in amazement.
"'Very skilled in Hand to hand combat, skilled in using multiple weapons except for the bow. She's flexible and a fast learner who also has fast reflexes.'" He said out loud, he smirked.
"I like her alot."
Princess Hisui picked up a pink folder. "Next is-"
The doors of the War Room opened, a guard entering and therefore interrupting them.
"Excuse me Princess."
"Yes? What is it?" Princess Hisui asked.
"Someone is here to see you." The guard said. A head peaked out from behind the door. A woman with sky blue hair stepped out. The two women smiled.
Crystal ran up to her and embraced her in a tight hug. The Princess smiled as she hugged back. Kuroko smirked.
"Crystal, you made it." The Princess smiled at her. Crystal nodded.
"Please have a seat next to that young man."
She did as she was told and sat down next to him. Kuroko leaned up against her.
"Hello, sweetheart. I'm Kuroko and I'll be working with you. Also I'll be having you in my bed." He smirked, Crystal never really liked the smell of smoke and she got a face full of it. She pushed him away awkwardly and turned her attention back to Princess Hisui.
"So Princess Hisui. What did ya call me for?" Crystal questioned.
"I have news on the man who murdered your family, Taskimada." Princess Hisui informed, Crystal gasped.
"He was in the United Kingdom, then he moved to Europe, then Switzerland, then Sweden, then he came back to Japan. He pin pointed him but we didn't find his his exact location."
"He does have excellent hackers... Dammit. When I find him, he's gonna wish he was never born..." Crystal growled, clenching her fists.
"Anyways, I just wanted to let you know." She smiled. "I have fantastic news!"
"What is it?" Crystal pryed. Princess Hisui handed her a white envelope. Crystal opened it and she screamed. It was plane tickets. Plane tickets to Paris!
"Paris?! Really?!"
"For you and your team! You know, Lucy, Erza, Gray, Natsu, Juvia and Wendy!" The Princess beamed. Crystal squealed.
"Thank you so much Princess Hisui!" Crystal cheered.
"You're going to need it. Because of now, we're starting the man hunt for Taskimada. We're going to find him and put an end to all this suffering. So many lives were lost trying to defeat him." The Princess told her, a serious expression on her face. Crystal nodded.
"Which is why we're going to have you and the rest defeat him. I'm willing to give you, 5,000,000,000J if you kill him." Princess Hisui offered.
"We'll take him down. I'll personally kill him myself." Crystal smirked. Kuroko smirked. He liked her attitude.
"Then it's settled."
Princess Hiusi got up. "I, Princess Hisui E. Fiore, support this mission to hunt down the murderous Assassin, Taskimada. May the hunt begin."
