A Date with Death
A/N: It's me again! Thanks again to all the favorites, follows, and reviews! Holy crap, they made me so happy! I am so sorry I haven't updated in, like, two weeks. I started working at my dad's coffee shop. It's pretty cool, but it can be tiring. Also, I've been experiencing a small case of writer's block. Sorry about that…
Responses to guest reviews are at the end of the chapter! :)

Natsu woke up the next day and decided to take the day off to think about his newly fucked up life. He had somewhat come to terms with the death of Lisanna after seeing her soul. Coming to a conclusion that she had brought death upon herself, he found himself wondering about Lucy.
First of all, how old was she? Lucy had looked like she was his age, but being Death herself you never know. Which made him think…. Was she a cougar?
Not that I would mind… I'm not one to care about those things. Natsu shook his head. Now was not the time to be thinking that. Now was the time to be worrying about his new house and how not to fuck up his life even further.
Well, shit. If I'm gonna meet Lucy again, I gotta kill someone. But who? Natsu thought for a moment before shrugging. I'll get to that problem when I come across it.
Natsu took time to explore the house and to his pleasure, not only was there plenty of food in the fridge, a computer, there was a television too. To his relief, there was no mention of Lisanna. Although he had found it weird, Natsu was too busy thanking Death for saving his ass and planning how he was going to meet her again.
Being uncharacteristically rational, Natsu took the time to research how to get away with murder. Not at all surprisingly, he found Tumblr to be his most useful source. At this moment in time, Natsu thanked God for the fandoms and fanfiction writers. Because holy fuck, these people were crazy. Unfortunately, Natsu had already made a mistake in planning a murder. Number two of rowan-ravenwood's advice: "Never use your own computer in your plan."
Not one to sweat the small stuff, Natsu shrugged it off and continued researching. Despite being an adult, he still had the attention span of a child, which ultimately lead to him stopping. But, his "research" wasn't a complete waste of time. Although the topic itself was completely immoral and utterly sickening to any sane individual, the facts were interesting enough and useful for his future plans.
Who will I kill? Should it be a criminal? Do I really have to kill? Maybe I'll stumble across a dying animal in its last moments…. But does Lucy take away the souls of animals too? Maybe I should ask her that.
Natsu was pulled out of his thoughts by his phone ringing. He looked at the caller and cringed. Erza Scarlet, in other words, the red-headed demon who just so happened to be his boss and childhood friend. With great hesitance, he accepted the call and squeaked out a cautious 'hello.'
"Hello, Natsu. Forgive me for calling you on the weekend, but I was wondering if you would like to get together with Gray and I for old time's sake. Do you have any plans for lunch?" Erza asked, but it was so very easy to pick out what she really meant - Come or else I'll skin you alive.
"Err… I… I would rather n-"
"Perfect! Meet us at the new bakery downtown at one. And Natsu? Do not be late." And with that, she hung up.
Natsu looked at the clock, he still had a bit less than five hours to be there. Natsu looked around the room and sighed, nothing to do. He flopped down on the bed and let his thoughts consume him.
Time flew by for Natsu, and the next thing he knew, he was standing at the doors to the bakery, still thinking about the mysterious blonde. However, his thoughts were interrupted by a certain ice-obsessed stripper.
"Did you forget how to open doors again, Flame-shit?"
"Who ya calling 'Flame-shit,' Ice Dick? Want me to fuck you up?" Natsu growled as he turned around. "Er… I mean… H-How have you been?" Unknown to Gray, a certain scarlet-haired cake-lover had approached the two men.
The now-shirtless Gray laughed, "Changed your mind, Squinty Eyes? I guess you finally realized I would kick your ass anytime," Still oblivious to Erza's presence and his lack of clothing, Gray continued to dig his own grave. A malicious aura had been growing behind the stripper's back until it was almost tangible. And at this moment, Gray knew...he fucked up.
"Hello, Gray." Shivers went up his spine as he paled and a cold sweat dripped down his face as if he was in an anime.
"H-Hey...Erza," he gulped. "I was just catching up with my best friend, Natsu. Aha...ha...ha."
"Really? That's great. Just as great as making a scene with no shirt or pants on. And I too love to catch up with my friends by insulting them," Erza said venomously. "But I feel as if the best way to greet a friend is by instilling physical pain. And I still haven't greeted you 'properly.' "
Gray whimpered and tried to shrink as Erza advanced, cracking her knuckles. Soon, she was standing above him and a shriek ripped through his lips as he shouted bloody murder.
A/N: So no Lucy this chapter. :( But we have Erza and Gray come in (although, they don't really play a role in this story…), too bad Gray's gonna die.
Just Kidding! ...Maybe….
Haha, sorry for the short update (roughly two pages and only 860 words)! I'm trying to update weekly, but that's not working too well, is it? As I said above I've started helping out at my dad's coffee shop and it doesn't leave a lot of room for writing. But I'm trying, guys!

Kristen: Yes! I'm glad my summary caught your attention, I had no idea what to write for that lmao. It's good you're enjoying it so far :) I hope I don't ruin that…. I definitely could proof-read my chapters more…. considering I just look for spelling mistakes (awkward laughing). Thanks for reviewing! I proof-read this one! ...using Grammarly...
Guest: Haha, thanks! I honestly have no idea who dies next lolol. Maybe I'll just pick randomly and write off of that (I'm only half-kidding).
JP: Thanks! I definitely agree - I really need to update faster. :')
TBNR: I won't ;) ...Well, only for like a split second. (I have no idea if I'm kidding or not) It'll be more emotional breakdowns if anything.
Guest: Haha, I hope it ends up being as intense as you expect! Thanks for reviewing :)
