Chapter11

The blonde woke up groaning from the headache he felt. He keeps drinking and ends up feeling this horrible headache and in a bad mood because of it. He sat up to find himself sleeping on the ground; he yawned and scanned the room to find that the both the redhead girl and the black haired boy were sleeping in some place inside of the room. 'What exactly happened the last night?' the last thing he remembers that Erza dragged them to play some stupid game and he doesn't remember the rest. Lucas rubbed his head feeling how heavy his head felt. He then stood up as he tried to keep his balance and started walking towards the bathroom leaving the mages sleeping in his living room. He opened the tap and stared at the water rushing down. He was still half sleep so he wasn't fully aware of what's happening around him. He got drunk and doesn't remember at all.

He stretched his arm put his hand under the water but suddenly remembered the pink haired girl who was with them yesterday and he didn't even caught a glimpse of her. Yeah, you are right. The water reminded him of Natsumi because she hated the rain. He brought his hand back and looked at the left side of him. He turned off the tap and went out of the bathroom. He started looking right and left to search for her but couldn't find her. He went to the kitchen hoping that she is there cooking or something like that but couldn't find her. His sweat dropped as he gulped. If she was with them last night why would she have gone by now. He decided to forget it for now guessing that she left to go home or something as he returned to the bathroom washing his face and taking a shower.

When the blonde finished taking his shower, he wore his clothes and went out of the bathroom going to the living room to realize that the mages woke up waiting for him to get out of the bathroom.

"Oh, hi Lucas," the redhead greeted waving her hand towards him a little nervous.

"Hi guys." He waved his hand back as he reached his desk and sat down on the chair in front of it. He looked back at them and remained silent.

"I think I made a lot of mess yesterday but I don't remember what I did." the girl frowned at what she said and then looked at both her friends who were disappointed too. "Do you remember anything Lucas?"

"Actually, I feel that a very a huge gap inside of my mind." He answered.

"I…" Gray spoke catching their attention. "I think we did a very bad thing but I can't remember what it is." Gray was looking at the ground and in the last thing; he raised his head to look at the titania to find a frown drawn on her face.

"We might found out later, where's Natsumi anyway?" Erza asked as she stared at the blonde.

"I didn't find her when I woke up. I think she woke up and left early." Lucas answered.

"That's pretty weird." The black haired ice mage said as he looked down at the ground. There was really something happened yesterday and he doesn't know what's it. He feels that it's somehow related to Natsumi and he doesn't know the reason.

"Is that so?"

The blonde Lucas entered the guild from its door scanning the guild right and left. He was so confused this day, he found Natsumi nowhere and he wanted to remember what happened the last day but he can't. He feels that there is something missing but he can't find it. He didn't know what to do. He didn't like to be forced into the drink and then he became unable to remember a thing. He reached the bar and greeted the white haired with a smile as he received a one.

"Lucas! You were able to get out of Erza's hands alive." She mocked as she stretched her arms to rest on the table. Lucas's sweat dropped as he sat down in front of her.

"I really don't remember a lot about yesterday but all I can recall that Erza was about to kill us. She forced us to drink as well!"

"Oh, how poor you are!" Mira said as she rested her hands on her cheeks. "But it's actually a little strange that Natsumi left while you were still together." That caught Lucas's attention as he moved his head to where the white haired stood with an opening mouth.

"Really? I didn't see her leaving though."

"Yeah, she came to the guild and took an s-class mage job for a month and went to her home packing."

"An s-class what?!"

"She didn't tell you?" Mira asked surprised remembering what happened the last night when the pink haired girl came taking the job quest.

"No! Why would Natsumi take such a job and leave without telling us about it?!" Lucas asked shocked about what he just heard.

"That's really weird. I thought she told you and what made her go without even telling you guys." Mira answered as she started to imagine things that could have happened making the pink haired leave. "Did you have a fight?"

"No! I don't even remember when she left yesterday." Lucas looked down at the wooden table trying harder to remember what the hell happened the other day but whenever e tries to do so, his mind goes black.

"Mira, Natsumi left…" the blue little cat interrupted holding a small piece of paper and walking towards the adults. Lucas turned his body to look at the blue exceed and found that piece of paper, he grabbed it and started reading.

"Happy sorry about leaving like that but actually I needed to leave in this mission as fast as possible. I can't tell you any details in the right moment… see you soon buddy."

And with that, Natsumi finished her message to Happy who didn't know what was going on and why did she leave like that? He raised his head to look at the white haired girl with a query face. Mira was confused because everyone was asking her and she didn't know anything all she recall from yesterday's night that Natsumi started searching for a job in the s-class board and she gave it to her so she could get her sign and she couldn't even ask her if she was going alone or with anyone because Natsumi said that she has to go because she was busy.

"Guys calm down, I really don't know what's happening and I don't know why did Natsumi leave?" Mira said trying to calm them down.

"What did I just hear?" Erza and Gray came into the conversation with a questionable face which was surprised of what they heard. Natsumi was spending the day before with them so what's making her disappear now.

"Natsumi went in 1 month mission yesterday and we don't know the reason." Lucas stated not even glancing at the two. Erza's eyes widened as Gray's ones did too.

"Why would she do that?" Erza asked looking at Mira.

"Yes! And what about being one team?!" this was Gray's turn to say.

"I don't know about anything." Mira spoke looking at the mages. "You can wait for her to come back and ask her."

"I'm not waiting for her to come back, I'm going now to see her… which city did she go to?" Erza said.

"Yeah, I will too." Gray told them.

"What are you saying Erza? Did you forget that the s-class mage exam is in the end of this month we will be having meetings with the master next days. And you two Gray… your chance is great to enter the exam this year so don't lose it!" Gray's sweat dropped as he heard those words coming out from the demon herself. He sighed as he rubbed his head sinking his fingers through his hair. He completely forgot about the exam and now they reminded him about it even though he promised to be an s-class mage this year and won't let Natsumi win on him.

Lucas looked down at the table not knowing what to do about it. He was helpless and his mind keeps telling him that he did a horrible thing yesterday that made Natsumi leave like that. He wishes he can know what happened the other day and be able to remember whether he did bad thing or not. And suddenly a flashback came into his mind reminding him. He shoot his eyes wide.

'Tears…? Natsumi's… tears?'
