Chapter 6:
Natsu pulled at the tie that was currently constricted around his neck. It certainly wasn't as comfortable as his beloved scarf, but Lucy had insisted he dressed nicely for this banquet event. Everyone here was decked out in clothing and riches that for him, would probably amount to a year's worth of income. It was something he really didn't understand, but this was a job and he'd get it done like any other one.
Both Natsu and Gray had made it to the banquet hall about fifteen minutes ago. Natsu had become restless waiting on Lucy and Juvia to get ready. Gray had seemed equally restless. So the two of them decided to get started staking out the place for any wizard snatching fiends, which could very well be possible, since there were quite a few mages at the party. Perhaps it was ill minded to use the people here as bait, but they hadn't gotten anywhere else yet.
Natsu popped a few more finger foods into his mouth as he surveyed the area carefully. In the last ten minutes he had probably polished off a third of the banquet table. He couldn't fight his infamous appetite. Plus his senses worked best on a full stomach.
Gray walked up to him from the balcony area. He also was dressed in the suit and tie attire, but Gray looked like he was much more comfortable.
"You know there's a good chance this is a waste of our time as well right?" Gray groaned leaning up against the nearby table. "I'm telling ya we should be at that island. Then we can nip this in the bud and be done."
"Hey we're getting paid here. Besides we know that people are being taken from this resort. This is the perfect opportunity!" Natsu flashed a wide grin and slapped Gray on the back. He was in a great mood and not even Gray's cold attitude was going to screw that up. Perhaps he should be tired, since most of the previous night was spent in heated lip locks, but instead he felt more energetic than ever.
"What's your deal?" Gray growled rubbing the bottom nap of his neck where Natsu slapped. "You seem even higher in spirits than usual. Weren't you as about as excited about this as I was yesterday?"
"Yeah, I'm in a pretty good mood with all things considered."
Gray shook his head, but perhaps he was also in much higher spirits as well. He'd be lying to himself if he didn't admit a piece of him was giddy. He and Juvia had always spent more time around each other at the guild than he spent with others, not that it was by choice, but she just sort of clung to him. More and more he was finding himself not minding. He wasn't sure what had come over him yesterday, but he didn't regret it.
Since Erza had spoken to him about Juvia's feelings and how he needed to step up and speak to her about it, these types of things had been crossing his mind often. In the heat of battle he had even told Juvia that he needed to talk to her about something, which had been this very topic. After barely making it out of that dragon battle, he had lost his nerve to talk to her, and understanding Juvia simply never had brought it up, which had probably been more for him than her.
He sighed, feeling like such a coward. Didn't guys normally get scared of being rejected? In his case he wasn't rejected and yet he still felt a bit of uncertainty in with the situation. Not because he wasn't interested in Juvia that much he knew.
"Drink?" a waitress asked handing Gray a class of champagne before he even gave any consent. The young looking brunette waitress winked at him, handed him a napkin, and walked away shaking her hips as much as her heels would allow. Looking down at the napkin Gray saw the number written on it and shook his head.
"Whatcha got there?" Natsu questioned with a grin.
Shaking his head once more Gray placed the napkin on the table. He leaned on the table next to it where the assortments of miniature sandwiches were placed. "It's nothing." Was all Gray provided before tipping back the flute. Maybe the alcohol would loosen up his nerves. He wasn't sure why, but tonight he was feeling really edgy. Like something didn't seem right.
"Hey Gray? What do you think the best way to handle a woman is?"
The words instantly caused Gray to cough, which caused the alcohol to burn his throat once it came back up and spewed out of his lips. Catching his breath felt close to impossible as he gasped for oxygen.
"Ex," Gray chocked once more. "Excuse me?"
"You know a woman as in the opposite sex." Natsu motioned his hands across his chest, "They have these here," signifying his lack of breasts.
Gray gave him the dirtiest look he could muster, "I know what women are you bastard. What are you getting at?"
Natsu sighed throwing a few cookies into his mouth. "I'm just saying you and Juvia spend a lot of time together right? Not to mention you basically put yourself in harm's way to save here right?" Natsu scratched his head feeling a bit odd perhaps Gray wasn't the right person to talk to about this, but as much as the two boys argued, they really did have a close friendship. Even if the other would never admit that out loud.
"So you and Lucy spend a lot of time together. Cut to the chase already?"
"Well how do you handle it?" Natsu pushed. "Like what's the deal there?"
Gray studied the fire dragon slayer for a moment wondering what the hell was going on. Natsu hardly showed much interest in girls except for the occasional guy perversion. "Look I don't know what your deal is, or why all of a sudden you're acting like a chick, but if you're asking about our relationship I don't kiss and tell."
"Oh, but you guys have kissed. So things really didn't change much afterwards? You're still a grouch and she still follows you around like normal." That was a relief Natsu sighed. This whole thing with Lucy, which he was completely alright with, was still new to him. He didn't know how differently their relationship would change now that things were becoming physical.
"If I am a grouch it's only because of you!" Gray sighed shaking his head. He wasn't ashamed of the progression occurring with Juvia, but he be damned if he is going to discuss his personal life with Natsu. Instead Gray turned his attention away from the odd acting Natsu to scan the crowd once more silently begging for something to happen.
"Man, you're terrible at giving advice."
"I'm not even sure what it is you are trying to ask me advice for?"
"Forget it! What would you know?" Natsu sighed. Gray would probably just have made fun of him if he pushed for advice anyways. He and Lucy had known each other for a long time now so he shouldn't worry that their relationship might change in the least. It was a silly notion.
"Just what is that supposed to mean?" Gray growled raising his fist.
"It means exactly how it sounds!"
Lucy checked herself in the mirror for what felt like the hundredth time. She always liked to look good no matter what the she was doing, but she oddly felt very self-conscious about it tonight. She really wanted to look good when she saw Natsu. Virgo had even brought both her and Juvia some elegant and beautiful dresses from the spirit world.
Lucy clasped her palms to her cheeks. The muscles were feeling warmer than usual as a blush graced her face. The previous night had been rather hot. Nothing else besides making out and a little bit of grinding had occurred, but she really found herself wishing things could have progressed. The thought felt so naughty and yet it was all she could think of. She wondered if Natsu had felt the same way as well.
"Lucy, are you alright?" Juvia asked from beside her. The water mage ran her hand through her hair to tousle a few of the waves before dabbing some tissues at her cheeks to lessen the blush she had brushed on a moment ago.
Lucy nodded, "Yeah ah just a bit distracted." She studied Juvia for a moment weighing the idea of talking to her about Natsu. The two of them were beginning to form a better relationship, but still weren't as close as she was to Erza. Sometimes though all a girl really needed was some good ol girl talk. Juvia better than anyone knew what it was like to be attracted to someone so perhaps the insight could be eye opening.
"Um, remember yesterday when we talked about Natsu. I think maybe you were right. I think I really do like him. Like a lot more than just friends. Like maybe in the same way you feel about Gray?"
"That's wonderful Lucy! What changed your mind?" Curiosity could be distinctly heard in Juvia's voice. She put down the tissues and turned her full attention to Lucy. It interested her when people talked about their attractions unless those attractions were towards Gray.
"Well," Lucy began, giving Juvia a quick over view of what happened the previous night. It surprised her how good it actually felt to talk about Natsu. Yes it had been the right choice to engage in a little bit of girl talk.
Juvia squealed like a little girl obviously happy for Lucy. It would be nice having another person to gossip with about boys. Plus this for sure meant that she wasn't interested Gray. Strange that they both had gotten a bit of action the same night, of course Lucy's story seemed a bit more PG-13 than hers.
"Don't feel embarrassed Gray kissed Juvia yesterday as well," Juvia shyly commented.
Lucy's eyes widened a bit. She had always thought that Gray really did have feelings for Juvia, but just didn't understand how to express the said feelings. She would have thought for sure Juvia would have kissed him first. That sly dog.
"How did it happen? Hopefully you didn't fall on top of him either." Lucy chuckled out loud. The more she thought about it the whole past scenario it was more funny than horrifying.
Juvia smiled brightly the excitement flooding her eyes. As Lucy did earlier Juvia also gave a quick over view of the events from the previous day.
Lucy smiled, "Wow who would have known Gray could be so smooth? Got to say I'm a bit surprised."
Juvia nodded with a small smile that looked oddly more sad than happy.
"Hey why the gloomy face. I thought you'd be steaming at the ears and going into Juvia day dreams by now?" Lucy giggled.
It was true that did occur often, but Juvia had grown up more in the last year, and liked to think she could think things through a bit more rationally. Not that she didn't still have her moments from time to time.
"It's just Juvia isn't really sure what happens next? Juvia would never speak ill of Gray, but he doesn't quite talk about his feelings as openly as someone like Natsu. What if he doesn't think anything of it?" Insecurity reared its ugly head in Juvia, but that was something that was common for either party in this stage of the "relationship".
"Gray isn't stupid Juvia. He knows that you have feelings for him. Therefore I don't think he would just kiss you for it not to mean anything. Gray isn't cruel like that. Just give it some time and see what happens then start worrying over where things go next, ya know?" Truth was that was something that Lucy had been thinking earlier that day about Natsu, but that was how she had decided to handle the situation, so Juvia for the time being should as well.
"Thanks Lucy."
"Okay enough of this insecure talk! We have a job to do and party to get to!" Lucy smiled brightly reaching out to grab Juvia's wrist. Her keys dropped from the small dress pocket and hit the floor.
"Darn." Lucy frowned picking up the keys. Her Pleu key had cracked a bit more and now wasn't going to stay on the key chain. She sighed tucking the key into her bra and the pocketed the rest of the keys in her dress. When she got back home she would take the key to a welder and get it fixed.
"Okay let's go!" Lucy announced once again reaching for Juvia's hand to pull her out the room, down the hall, and into the main dining hall where the party was taking place.
It wasn't hard for either of the girls to spot Natsu or Gray, since the men were currently acting more like nicely dressed boys as they were having yet another fight. Lucy sighed this shouldn't surprise her one bit.
"Why would you be asking me something so stupid? Figure it out for yourself!" Gray growled clinching his fists. It didn't exactly surprise him that Lucy and Natsu had moved their friendship into something more, but he didn't want to hear about it. The thought of Natsu actually being interested in a girl was already weird enough. He didn't want to think about him doing things with her. No thank you!
"See, like I said you are the worst person to ask. What do you even know about girls? Your practically even more dunce than I am ice box!" Natsu yelled back!
"I know a hell of a lot more than you hot head!"
"Wanna bet!?"
Lucy cleared her throat, "Hey Erza!"
Both mages froze and turned around spooked, to again, not find Erza anywhere in sight.
"Would you stop doing that!?" Gray asked annoyed, before him and Natsu both turned to the two girls eyeing them a bit oddly. Once more both mages froze. To say either one of the women looked anything less than beautiful would be a complete an utter lie.
"Wow," Natsu smirked.
"You guys are making a scene when you should be watching for trouble! I bet neither of you noticed when the owner of the resort even got here." Lucy pointed in the direction where the hotel owner was along with a group of conversing people. "Come on Natsu let's go talk with him so maybe we can finally get some decent information over what is going on."
"Yes maam," Natsu walked up to Lucy and held out his arm for her to take. Despite her sternness moments ago she gave him a small smile before taking his arm. The couple walked off into the direction of the resort owner.
Gray shook his head still irritated with Natsu before turning his attention back to Juvia. The water girl tugged at her dress a bit awkwardly as if she felt uncomfortable in the attire. Of course besides the occasional bathing suit she did tend to stay a bit more covered than their other fellow women guild members.
"You look nice." He barely whispered feeling suddenly a bit self-conscious. Was that an alright thing to say? When she smiled up at him it relieved him a bit. Damn now Natsu got him feeling all odd.
"Gray-sama looks nice as well." Juvia looked around checking her surroundings. "You guys didn't have to wait that long on us did you?"
Gray scowled a bit. "Nah we weren't here that long, but I still think were in the wrong place. I get the owner asked for us to be here. I just can't explain it, but I think we should be heading to that island instead of being here."
Juvia nodded. She too had thought that. If disappearance were really happening why would anyone want to throw a party and draw attention anyways?
"Wanna dance. It beats just standing here?" Gray asked holding out his hand. Juvia nodded with joy and reached out to take his extended hand, but before they could even move a large crash caught everyone's attention in the party hall. Along with it was series of screams could be heard echoing all around.
Natsu turned to Lucy, "Well this was what we were waiting for. Protect the people here." Once Lucy nodded in understanding Natsu darted for the only entrance of the dining hall. "Gray!" He called out, but the ice mage was practically already on his heels as they left.
"Shouldn't we all go together?" Juvia asked Lucy once she had made her way to the petite blonde.
"I think Gray and Natsu are a pretty formidable duo. Don't worry about them."
"It's not that Juvia is worried they can't handle themselves. It's just…"
"I am so terribly sorry!" The resort owner apologized cutting Juvia off. "I should have excused myself from the convention I was attending to be here to inform you of everything that has been occurring. I hired extra help to guard the dining hall. Everyone should be alright come and I will explain everything. You'll have to pardon me if I don't want to discuss things openly in front of my guests."
Natsu and Gray rushed outside to the lobby area to find people rushing frantically past them. The area still had dusty particles clouding the area, which currently was making it harder to find any intruders.
"I would have thought you would sense us a lot quicker than you had. I guess I gave each of you way too much credit." The cloaked man greeted once the cloud of dust settled. Various people were unconscious and some were pinned by broken wall sheets and brick.
Natsu growled, "How can you even begin to call yourself a wizard when you hurt so many innocent people." He called forth a ball of fire before swinging back like a pitcher to throw it at the vile cloaked man. The orb of fire never got a chance to reach the man, before a box appeared out of thin air, swallowed up the flame, and closed only to disappear.
"What the hell?" Natsu muttered to himself.
"How do you like my time box?" a man spoke from behind the two fairy tail mages. Natsu turned to the man while Gray kept his eyes pinned to the cloaked man. "Anything that passes through it goes anywhere else I have previously visited."
Natsu growled, "What too afraid to fight like a real man?"
"Two cowards aren't going to last for long." Gray raised his hand ready to enter the battle field.
"We weren't given much information. So the past few days we've just been scoping out the place." Lucy began. She sipped some of the warm tea that the owner's personal assistant had brought. He also sipped a cup as he sat across from Lucy and Juvia.
"Is there anything else that you can tell us?" Lucy continued. The owner was very scattered brain and had the attitude of a child, which was trying her very last nerve. How could someone like this run a luxury resort?
"The disappearance began about a few months ago. I had originally thought it was just a hoax. We get strange people around here and no family's called to inquire about missing persons, but the last month has been a different story."
Lucy shook her head. She felt foggy with annoyance. Who thought disappearances of any kind, even a false alarm, could ever be a just a hoax? Maybe she just didn't get enough sleep the previous night, because she was feeling very irritable.
"My dear please sit and have some tea with us." The owner offered Juvia once she got up to walk over to the window. She had hoped that she could glimpse Gray or Natsu outside, but no such luck. That nagging feeling resurfaced in her gut.
"Juvia is very picky about what teas she drinks." Was all she offered. She was about to excuse herself and check on the boys before something distinctly familiar caught her eye when the owner reached for his tea cup. It was a guild mark with a large triangle and small stars off to the right of it. It was almost uncanny to what Gray had told her the cloaked man had on him.
Juvia rushed over to Lucy, "Lucy don't drink that tea!"
Lucy slumped in the loveseat. "Juvia I feel sleepy. Wake me when things get a little more interesting will ya?" Lucy promptly closed her eyes and curled up into the fetal position.
Juvia lifted her hand with the full intention of calling forward her powers when a chilling air rushed past her body. Normally that chill would be welcomed, but this wasn't Gray's power that she was accustomed too.
"Sorry little water witch you're coming as well. We don't have time to play right now." A blonde man whispered, before quickly sucker punching her in the stomach.
The pain erupted from her abdomen before traveling to her head, which gave her a light headed feeling. It didn't take long before her surroundings began to fade to darkness.
Gray clinched his fists in annoyance. Both he and Natsu had been holding the opposers off, but it felt like they were simply being played with. Each would throw wild attacks that were beyond easy to dodge.
"Hm, this is hardly worth the time. Perhaps we can finish this off another time." Box man laughed. He stepped into one of his boxes disappearing easily.
"Get back here you cowards!" Natsu yelled charging after the cloaked man, before he too disappeared into one of his time rips.
"Natsu those two were toying with us. Come one I think we need to get back to Juvia and Lucy. Now."
Natsu looked over at Gray with a bit of concern. Those two could be going after Lucy or Juvia easily at this moment. It could be an easy task with the way they can skip from place to place. He followed after Gray quickly getting back to the dance hall. People still cluttered the room.
"Do you see the owner?" Gray asked scanning the area with precision.
"Nah, but I can smell him." Natsu took off to the back of the banquet hall, "This way."
Upon entering the office the owner looked up a bit surprised, but didn't say anything.
"Hey why aren't Lucy and Juvia with you?" Natsu grunted.
"Those two girls sure worry about you. Said they were going to go check on you. Told me to stay put here so that's where I am."
Gray nodded. It did sound like something that the two of them would do. If that was the case then they really needed to find them now. Gray turned ready to get out of there, but didn't get very far, before catching out the corner of his eye Natsu throwing a low energy ball into the owner. The owner went through the wall into the next meeting room.
"Natsu what the hell?"
Without a word Natsu walked over the man, leaned forward, and grabbed a set of shiny keys from his pocket.
"These are Lucy's keys bastard. Why do you have them?" He grabbed hold of the owners arm lifting him from the ground. The man shifted into a different form that was a much skinnier scrawny man.
"A shifter?" Gray whispered. This was all starting to make a bit more since.
"Where are they?" Natsu shook the man more roughly.
"I, I don't know. My job is just to pretend to be the old man honest."
Gray walked closer lifting his hands to freeze the man's feet to the ground. "We don't have time for this. Tell us what we want to know or I'll freeze the rest of you."
Natsu smiled sardonically lifting his hand to allow it to catch fire. "Then I'll just have to thaw you out."
"Th-they'll kill me." The man shook.
"Well either way I think you're kind of screwed." Natsu growled letting the fire in his hand expand larger.
"That cloaked freak said your base, holding those you had kidnapped, was on that eastern island. That's where Juvia and Lucy were taken am I correct?" Gray strategically questioned.
The scrawny man's eyes widened. "He told you that, but, why?"
"Nope he didn't say a word, but your reaction confirmed the suspicion. Come on Natsu maybe we can beat them there. "
"It's useless they'll be long dead before you get there. They probably already are. These guys don't play around. If you value your lives leave."
Natsu reared back punching the man square in the nose, once more sending him flying, and into unconsciousness.
Without a word both mages high tailed it to the beach. Natsu decided if he had to swim to the island he would. They just had to beat the others there.
"Natsu!" Happy squealed as he flew straight into Natsu with enough force to throw him back into an excited hug.
"Oh, buddy am I ever excited to see you!" Natsu smiled brightly. With Happy surely the two of them could get to that island quicker than anyone.
"After Lucy's account of what's going on we rushed with a small team here as quickly as possible." Carla announced sitting herself next to Happy. "Erza, Gajeel, and Wendy are with us. We just went off to find you quicker.
Natsu nodded in understanding. "Happy do you think you can give me a lift. Lucy and Juvia are in trouble. We have to hurry." Without a second thought or question Happy took off with Natsu listening to his directions.
"Hold on Natsu," Carla complained.
"Tell Erza that is where we are heading." Gray pointed to the far away island off to the east.
"What are you going to do?" Carla questioned.
"I'm taking one of those." Gray pointed at a jet ski that was rippling in the waves. "Natsu's going to need back up. These guys are dangerous. They are for sure zapping mages of their powers and it's killing them and right now Juvia and Lucy are on the menu."
AN: Again sorry for the wait! Hopefully I can get back to my quicker updates especially since I love to write! So were starting to get somewhere in the story!
Preview of next chapter:
She took a deep breath readying herself for the shocks that were surely going to mare her skin. If there was one thing she wasn't, it was a damsel in distress, and she be damned if she would start now. By the sound of the crashes and explosions outside Natsu was most certainly causing a ruckus. He probably had no idea he was a walking target either.
