5:00am
...
"No."
"Crystal, we talked about this."
"I don't care, Erza. I am not agreeing to that at all."
"I already called the Adoption Centre, it's really a nice place we can take Yura to."
Crystal's eyes narrowed. "No. Fuck them, Yura is staying here with her Mother and Father; Crystal and Natsu."
"Come on, Crystal. She can't come with us!"
"And why not?!"
"We don't have enough tickets for her to come with us! Besides, Yura doesn't even have a passport!"
"We're assassins, Erza! I'm sure Levy can hijack a plane or something!"
"That's not the point, Crystal!"
Behind a wall, the small brunette stood there, shaking. She tried her best to keep down her sobs. Yura frowned, running back upstairs to her bedroom where she slammed it.
The two turned their attention to upstairs. Crystal sighed.
"Erza, we'll talk about this later." With that, the bluenette walked upstairs to Yura's room with a deep breath. Crystal shakily opened the doorknob to meet darkness, the smell of salt filled her nose. Crystal frowned as she saw a bump underneath the covers.
"Yura..."
She got no response.
"Yura, I know you're awake. I can smell the salt." Crystal turned on the light and walked towards the sniffling bump. She took the covers off of the girl, Yura was curled into a little ball, her hands over her head.
"Yura, sweeti-"
"S-so, you're just gonna get rid of me, huh?"
"No... Sweetie, I love yo-"
"No, you don't!" Yura sat up, tears streaming down her red, small cheeks. Crystal gasped softly, a little taken back by the small girl's outburst.
"Yura-"
"No, no! I knew it! You're all like the others! They get rid of me the second they get me! You just wanted to get rid of me because I wasn't wanted, right?! Just like how my old Mommy left me!"
"No, it's not like th-"
"Yes it is! I saw you talking to Erza-nii-san, you're gonna get rid of me! I should've never had come here, I should've never had put my trust into you!" Yura growled. "YOU'RE JUST LIKE ALL THE REST!"
"That's enough, Yurachiiro!" Crystal snapped, Yura shrank down at the bluenette's tone of voice.
"Listen to me, I never wanted to get rid of you! You're one of the best things that has ever happened to me!"
Yura's angry gaze softened.
"Don't you dare say those things! I AM NOT LIKE YOUR OLD MOTHER! DO NOT COMPARE ME TO HER! I ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT YOU! YOU'RE MY LITTLE BALL OF HAPPINESS, MY LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS! I DO NOT CARE WHAT ANYBODY ELSE THINKS, YOU ARE COMING WITH ME!" The bluenette panted from all the shouting, she was surprised that nobody was even up from her yelling. Crystal sighed and faced the shaking brunette.
"I'm sorry I shouted at you, sweetie... You just got Mommy upset, that's all."
Yura rubbed her hands together. "D-did you really mean all that...?"
Crystal smiled. "Of course I did. Now come here and give Mommy a hug."
Yura hesitated for a second, watching as Crystal spread her arms wide, waiting for her embrace. Yura broke down, wailing loudly as she jumped into Crystal's arms. Crystal hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say any of those things! Forgive me, Mommy!"
"It's okay, Yura..." Crystal caressed her head. "Mommy's always here for you, sweetheart."
"Always..."

12:00pm
...
The sky blue haired woman sat up on the bed, reading a new book she bought earlier this morning in the bookstore. Crystal flipped to the other page, quite enjoying the book. The pink haired man walked in, noticing the bluenette's choice of clothing.
A short pants with one of his shirts. Natsu growled approvingly as he licked his lips hungrily.
They had two more hours till they needed to go to the airport.
Fast... Dirty... It was a quickie afterall... Natsu sat down next to her, putting his arm around her. Crystal removed his hand away from her with a straight face and went back to reading.
Natsu pouted. "Chrissssyyyy~"
"What?"
"Let's fuck."
Crystal slowly turned her head to him in a confused manner. "No."
"But-"
"I'm not in the mood." She said plainly. Natsu smirked, gliding one of his hands up her exposed thigh. Crystal slapped his hand away.
"I said... No."
Natsu huffed and turned the other way. The pinkette groaned at his boner that was painly pressed against the zipper of his pants. It was getting in the way.
He wanted to get rid of it. Just to satisfy his needs for a bit...
Only a little while...
It was "training" afterall. To Natsu, it was another. Natsu moved closer to her. Crystal sighed.
"Natsu... I said-" She turned to face him but what she saw was shocking. The fiery assaaain's eyes were a golden yellow colour, his fangs dangerously sharper than usual. Natsu smirked cockily as he pounced on her, pinning her hands over her head, Natsu mounting on top her.
He growled, low and deep.
"Natsu! Let me go!" This wasn't right, his grip was strong and tight. It wasn't playful like usual.
It was demanding...
"I won't until you give me what I want..." Natsu grinned, moving closer to her ear. "I want you to say "Fuck me, Natsu"."
"Hell no!" She was beyond pissed.
"Say it..." Natsu tightened the grip on her wrists, making her scream a bit. The door slowly open, a small girl peaked through. A small gasp escaped the brunette's lips as she opened the door wide.
"Daddy? What are you doing to Mommy?!"
Crystal squinted one eye shut as she was pressed down with his crushing weight.
"Yura... G-go, Mommy's okay..."
"Crystal..." The pinkette purred. "Say it or I'll take you right in front of Yura." He grinded his rock hard erection against her pants.
"Yura, listen to Mommy..."
Yura turned her attention away from the pink haired man mounting her Mother and faced Crystal with tears in her eyes. Her expression looked as if she'd seen a ghost.
"Go get Gray-nii-san or Erza or somebody! Just get one of them!" Crystal yelled, Yura nodded frantically and ran out the room as fast as her tiny legs could carry her.
Natsu was physically stronger than her in some points, he was also mentally stronger. What he was doing, it was bringing back those painful memories she stored in the back of her mind.
The memories of Blaze when he took her virginity... When you have such tragedy built up inside, it's hard not to scream and cry about it. The bluenette tried her best not to but some tears managed to escaped her dark blue orbs.
Natsu turned her around on her back to face him. Crystal glared at the gigantic smile he wore. Natsu brought his face closer to here and glided his pink, enthusiastic tongue across her cheeks, licking up her tears.
She felt disgusted. She felt violated.
Even when she said no... He still continued.
By her bestfriend... By the one who she actually trusted and loved.
It hurt, alot.
"Aw come on now, Chrissy. Don't be like that... All you have to do is say three simple words..." He smiled a sadistic smile, his overgrown fangs scared her a bit. It looked like he can snap her neck with one chop if he wanted to.
Where the hell is Yura?!
Natsu had her hands held down tight, his knees to the sides of her hips.
"Crystala... Say it..."
"I said no!" With force, she kicked her knee upward into his groin, making him release her. She rolled off the bed and unto the floor, she rubbed her purple-bluish wrists in pain.
"Goddamnit... It hurts so much..." Crystal hissed, not noticing the pinkette who was writhing in pain on the floor was now standing up, walking slowly towards her.
"You... You are one lucky woman... To have me... At your knees... Begging for this kind of attention..." Natsu hoarsely rasped. "But.."
Crystal gasped, afraid to turn around.
"You do not... Ever. Hit me..."
Curiosity got the of her as usual and turned her head around slowly, seeing Natsu standing right behind her.
He brought his hand up, about to strike but the door slammed open. Natsu didn't pay attention, he was about to his hand down on her face until he was held back.
Crystal smiled in relief. The raven haired man held his hand back with one of his hands. Natsu turned around to see him, then look down at Crystal.
"What the hell is wrong with you, Natsu?!"
That's one of the first time Gray's called Natsu by his name instead of an insult as usual. That's when Gray's serious.
"I-I could only find Gray-nii-san... He was the only one close so..." Yura went over to hug her Mother.
"Thanks Yura..." Crysta smiled at her.
Natsu lowly growled, snatching his hand away from him.
"Goddamnit Gray! You always have to ruin everything!"
"Me?! You were about to do 'god-knows-what' to Crystal according to Yura! You sick, twisted, little fuck! How dare you try to rape my best friend?!"
"Ooh, I wouldn't call it rape, more like... Forceful sex without permission, is all."
"That's rape, dumbass!"
Crystal got up and moved towards the door, carrying Yura along with her.
"What's 'rape' Mommy?"
"I'll tell you when you get older..."
...
Their bickering and yelling went on for quite a while, Crystal and Yura stood there, just watching.
"I've had enough of you assholes keep coming in the way of me and Crystal's relationship! What we do is none you guys' business!"
"Relationship?!" Crystal and Gray gawked in disbelief.
"I'm ending this shit now, Gray!" His whole body lit a flames, a golden orange colour flames surrounded the pink haired man. Crystal gasped while Yura ran out the room. Gray stood there in shock.
"What the hell?!"
"No, Natsu!"
Natsu clenched his fists. "Fire Dragon's..."
The fire that surrounded him disappeared, only his right hand was engulfed in fire. "...Iron Fist!"
"NOOO!" Crystal pushed Gray out of the way, letting herself take the blast from Natsu in her stomach, sending her flying across the room and hitting the wall with a loud thump. The wall behind her had pieces of it coming off, pain shot through her back and stomach as she laid their on the floor, blood leaking from her mouth.
A large amount of blood...
"CRYSTALA!" The two men yelled. Gray ran over to her, kneeling down and holding her body close to him. Natsu slowly walked over to her, a terrified expression on his handsome face, he looked down at his hands.
"Crystal! I-I-I-I-I-I-I didn't mean-!" He looked at her, tears pooled up in her eyes. Natsu's heart sank when her eyes had depression and betrayal written all over them. He didn't like that look.
Nobody did...
"Crystal... D-don't look at me like that..." The pink haired man reached out to the bluenette who flinched away from his affection. A loud gasp could've been heard throughout the room, Natsu turned around, seeing a scarlet haired woman standing by the door with shopping bags in her hands, she quickly dropped them. She glared at Natsu, dashing towards him and held him by his collar.
"WHAT THE HELL DID I TELL YOU?!" Erza growled. "I TOLD YOU TO STOP BEFORE THIS GOT OUT OF HAND! YOU DIDN'T LISTEN! WHY DIDN'T YOU LISTEN TO ME?!"
Juvia, Wendy and Lucy came rushing inside the room.
"Oh my gosh, what happened?!"
"Gray-sama! What happened to Crystal-chan?!"
"Crystal-san!"
Wendy immediately went to her side. "She's bleeding, alot! She's not breathing! We have to get her to a hospital immediately!"
Gray got up with Crystal in his arms, bridal style. Juvia, Wendy and Gray rushed out the room and ran downstairs. Erza released him.
"I told you... But you never listened, now look what you've done..."
Erza brought her hand down on his cheek with full force, he fell with the slap. Erza loomed over him with a deadly aura, she shook her head with disappointment and went out the room. Natsu sat up, his cheek now had a red, glowing handprint on it. Lucy stooped down to his level.
"What have I done...?" He whispered.
"Tell me what happened Natsu..."
Natsu looked up at the blonde, tears swimming in his eyes.
"Tell me everything..."
...
After explaining, Lucy was in shock and disbelief.
"You hit her with such a powerful attack?!"
"It was meant for Gray!"
"It shouldn't be for anybody! Your urges can't be so out of control, Natsu! To the point of raping her, how could you?!"
Natsu bent his head down in shame. "Yeah... How could I, indeed..."
...
2:00pm
France Hospital.
...
Everyone sat down on the waiting benches in silence, the pink haired man had his bangs over his eyes, he sat the closest to the door. Everyone waited for the Doctor to come out, it's been a long while since a staff of nurses and doctors came to them. Finally, the door opened, a dark skinned doctor came out with his notepad in his hands.
"How is she?" Erza asked who looked to have been crying for hours. Her eyes puffy and red, tear streaks imprinted on her cheeks.
"Mrs. Dragnela, we've managed to stabilize her just in time. Any longer and she might not have made it. But luckily, she did." The Doctor said. "You can go see her but she's under a lot of medication, she might not recognize who you are at first but those effects are only temporary."
Everyone sighed in relief. The Doctor looked back into the room and back at them. "Be quiet and only one at a time. Who's going first?"
"I'll go." Natsu volunteered with a soft tone of voice. Erza opened her mouth to say something but closed it when she saw the look in his eyes when he watched back to them. She turned her head away.
"She's in a unstable condition. Her stomach is in a bad condition as well, please, be gentle with her." The Doctor told Natsu as he walked away. The pink haired man took a deep breath and walked inside the room quietly, closing the door behind him.
The sky blue haired woman laid in the hospital bed, she was so pale skinned. Paler than usual, it made Natsu's skin crawl. As he walked closer, he saw she had on a oxygen mask and tubes in her arms. She had her eyes closed, not softly but so distressed...
Salamander frowned deeply. It had a chair next to her bed, he sat down and watched her closely. Hearing the heart monitor going slowly.
"Crystal...? Are you awake..?"
Crystal's head slowly turned to meet him, her eyes fluttered open. She squinted her eyes, trying to make out the person and voice.
"Gray..? Is that you...?"
Natsu growled on instinct. She was under alot of medication, maybe this was the chance to talk to her. Without it being so... Awkward. Gray was the last person she saw, afterall. It would only be natural.
"Yeah... I'm Gray, Crystal."
Crystal smiled softly, "H-hi..."
"Hey..." Natsu sighed, "Do you forgive Natsu, Crystal?"
Crystal turned her head to face the front of her. "I-I'm not sure... I know why he did the things he did. He's a Dragonslayer, they have Mating season once in a while."
"So, she knows about that..."
"You're supposed to mate with one person for life... Like Gajeel with Levy... I don't know about Sting and Rogue... Wendy is too young so that just leaves... Natsu and I," Crystal frowned, "People who wield the Dragonslayer swords are connected to them, they have the attributes of a Dragon... So during a certain time in the year, they mate with the person they love."
A light blush came to Crystal's cheeks. "If that's the case... Then that means... Natsu..." She shook her head, "There's no way, right, Gray?"
Natsu chuckled, "I'm sure that Natsu loves you."
"Really..?"
"Yes."
The bluenette smiled, "That's nice to hear... But..."
"But?"
"It really hurt when he tried to take me forcefully, you know... It brought back painful memories that I didn't want to remember..." Crystal looked at him, "It hurt, alot... To be taken forcefully by your bestfriend..."
Natsu frowned, his heart sinking, "Natsu's sorry... I'm sure of it... He's more than sorry, he wishes he can go back in time to prevent all that... Natsu... Natsu's beyond sorry..." Tears started to brim in his eyes.
Crystal chuckled.
"That's good to hear, Natsu."
"Eh?" Everything gray shattered around him, the colour returning. Crystal had a beaming smile on her face.
"You think the medication they gave me was that strong? No, no. I smelled you the moment you got in here, I heard your voice clearly as well. True, I don't have my glasses on so I couldn't tell until you were right in front of me." Crystal grinned.
"So... You're really sorry, huh?"
"Of course, I am! I meant everything I said..."
She raised a brow, "Everything?"
"Everything..."
"So, you love me?"
A bright red blush came to his face, "Woah-woah-woah! Back it up, stop, wait! I-I didn't- I thought you thought I was-!"
Crystal giggled, "Oh, calm down. It's okay, jeez."
Natsu calmed down after a while, he pouted at the bluenette.
"Do you? Do you really?" Crystal asked.
Natsu scrunched up his face with a blush. This was his chance! For so long... It was his time to shine! Finally, she'll be his! Natsu opened his mouth to speak.
"Yeah... I love you... I love you so much..." Natsu whispered softly, waiting for her response.
Oh God, if she didn't feel the same way...
"I love you too..." The words won't come out of her mouth, like something was preventing her.
"I'm sorry, Natsu..."
"Fuck..." Was all that was going through his mind.
"I do care for you but... I just... Don't feel that way about you... Yet..."
Natsu's world shattered around him. Everything came tumbling down. His face turned a pale white, he wanted to throw up. He wanted to break down and cry. Rejection.
Rejection is what he was afraid of...
Why didn't he keep his mouth shut?
A sad smile made his way to his lips. "It's okay... I'll wait, I'll wait an eternity if I have to..." Natsu got up and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. He walked out the room.
"I didn't mean to say that! No, come back... I love you too..." Tears pooled in her eyes as she extended her hand towards the door.
"Like what I did?" A voice giggled. Crystal turned her attention to in front of her. A woman with short sky blue hair and red eyes appeared, gold dust behind her. Crystal's eyes widened.
"Of course you didn't, silly. I made you say those things."
Crystal narrowed her eyes, she was pissed now.
Beyond fucking pissed.
"Why Yuri...?"
"Because..."
...
"I can't let you be with that idiot, I'll kill him personally if I have to. After what he did to you, I'll never forgive him..."
...
