~Chapter eight: Natsu wins, and The Blonde Falls Deeper!~

Lucy walked out of school happy that it was friday and she would finally get to spend some time to relax at her apartment, oh and did I mention she has a dog named Plue? he's adorable. Lucy walked out of the school gates content but a bit sad that Levy wasn't able to walk part of the way home with her since she was staying after school every friday from now on to clean up the school library with the librarian Ms. Libra, that and she had to stay a bit in the infirmary after school when she banged her head into the cafeteria table during lunch.

Lucy glanced back and noticed two guys in tow following her. she quickened her pace and then it turned into full out running, but the two guys were still following her. Lucy frowned. of course she wasn't scared she has been through worse like that time she was being chased by two guys with guns but let's save that story for next time. her eyes widened when she thought of the possibility of them raping her, sure she knew a few moves but that would be useless.

"what do I do?" Lucy muttered while thinking hard when she felt a tug on her arm.

she cursed when she fell into the arms of her capture, being smart she kicked a good few inches off of him and turned to look at them knowing it was useless to run.

"well, well, well we got a fighter Kug." the man that tried to catch her said to his companion.

"I guess we do Lug." said his companion it return.

"now pretty girl it's either going to be the easy way or the hard way, so what's it going to be?" asked Lug.

Lucy frowned and spit in their faces.

"well the hard way it is!" yelled the man named Lug and grabbed her arms putting them both behind her back like a cop would do.

"let me go!" Lucy yelled now in panic."let me go now!"

the two men grinned and were about to drag her off to do who knows what to her when they heard a yell to the side.

"SHE SAID LET HER GO YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES!"

then Lug got punched in the face and Kug got kicked in the stomach. Lucy looked towards her savior and her eyes widened while her face heated up.

"Natsu." she said in amazement.

"call the police." he said then growled at the attackers. Lucy nodded and did what he asked while Natsu was busy beating the crap out of Lug and Kug.

once the police arrived they arrested the criminals and found out that they were the wanted criminals for kidnapping girls and selling them to people who bid the highest for them. after Lucy heard that she went up to both of them before the cops could stop her and Lucy kicked their asses. Natsu then walked the rest of the way with Lucy to her apartment.

"thank you so much Natsu if it wasn't for you i'd be being sold to a pervert right now." Lucy said grateful but her voice full of disgust towards the end.

"your welcome and how come you walked alone today don't you walk with a friend or something?" Natsu asked confused.
Lucy blushed,"well every friday from now on at least Levy has to stay after school." she explained.

Natsu nodded.

"well since we don't want you to get hurt Luce how about I walk you home every friday." Natsu said while rubbing the back of his neck bashfully and blushing a bit.

Lucy lit up like a light bulb."you said my name! not exactly it but pretty darn close!" she yelled in glee a giant smile stretching over her face.

"w-what I don't know what your talking about!" yelled Natsu as he turned around and started walking away.

"you said my name!" Lucy shouted.

"I don't know what your talking about!" yelled Natsu.

and before you know it the blonde was falling deeper for the pink haired boy and Natsu?

he not only won a fight against real criminals but he won a roller coaster of emotions for the blonde.
