Well here is the last batch for a week at least. but I swear tomorrow a new story. please don't hate me! *Hides behind a enormous Igneel toy*

Any way, here is chapter 1

-Ancient Greece; Modern times Heartfilia Mansion-

Loki was watching as two women fight, Aphrodite, blonde with her hair done so nicely in a lose but sexy bun and a heart as the clasp on her one shoulder dress, and Artemis, the other blonde women with her hair pulled back in a foxy ponytail and crescent moons as the clasp on her dress shoulders, but it was Athena across that room with her blonde hair long and wind swept and the owl clasp on her dress that held his attention. Athena was helping a human with a problem since she was as the humans said the goddess of wisdom; the truth was she like the others, Celestial Sprits….

-Earthland-

"LOKI! WE NEED YOU!" Lucy said from Earthland, waking Loki up from his nap in the Spirit World.

-Sprit World, Loki's room-

"Athena… Why do I dream of you, of that day? I just want to hold you, I miss you..." Loki said looking at a picture of three blondes and a boy about 13. He sets the picture down by another picture of him with Lucy holding Happy the blue cat, Natsu standing behind them smiling his signature smile, Gray and Erza on the two sides.

-Earthland-

"Yes my lady, you called?" Loki said mustering his best playboy smile with a nod taking Lucy's, the blonde Celestial Mage, hand.

"It's Cana's Birthday and she wants you and Gray to do a strip tease," Lucy the blonde mage asking and leans into Loki to whisper in his ear, "and please get Natsu to join ya. He's been mopping around and…" Lucy starts to blush, "I really would like to see him smiling again. Please Loki."

Loki smiling, "Lucy for you, I will move the heaven and Earthland. I'll get him."

Loki stands up and walks to Natsu, who was of course mopping around. Natsu was pushing his food around not really eating but lost in thought about Lucy, mostly the way she seemed to smell so good and the fact that her eyes were twinkling as she watched the stars when they had to sleep outside, which was a lot of the time since he messed up a lot.

"Natsu, I have a favor to ask you." Loki said leaning on the table pushing Natsu's food away from him, "Lucy wants Gray and I to do a strip tease, but she wants you to do one alone with her later, think you can handle that?"

Natsu blushing bright red glared at Loki, "I'll join in on this since its Cana's birthday and she wants us to."

Loki laughing, "No, its cause Lucy wants you to, that's why."

Natsu growls at Loki before storming off to change into whatever costume Cana picked out. Gray smiles at Erza as he walks out on stage, "Alright lady's you know the rules, and one finished drink and the guy you choice takes one item off. So Cana since it's your birthday and we all know how much you can drink all the guys are this year participating…and so I am not alone."

Natsu blushes as he sees Lucy sitting back and having not touched the drink in front of her. 'Why isn't she drinking to get Gray and Loki to strip? Doesn't she like Loki that way?'

Lucy scanning the men on stage looking for a pink haired mage so she can drink to get him down to where Gray was right now. Gray was standing in front of the group in…well nothing Erza and Juvia Had downed so man drinks when it started poor Gray almost couldn't keep up with them. Lucy smiled at the thought of Natsu standing in front of her wearing well nothing, she knew her face heated quickly since her best friend Levy smirked.

Natsu and Gajeel were going to be in the last group to get up and preform for the girls, which was coming up. Gajeel knew not many girls would drink for him but he know his favorite bookworm would, possibly Cana too since she just liked to drink. Natsu smiled as he walked out on stage, right as he did Lisanna's glass shot in the air and called out, "Natsu Shirt off!"

Natsu of course took off the jacket he was wearing right as he did Lucy's glass shot up calling out, "Natsu Shirt!"

At that Natsu smiled and tossed the shirt off, right then Lucy's glass again "Natsu, Sash please!"

Lisanna followed with, "Pants too, Natsu!"

Natsu blushed standing only in his red boxers and his scarf, if Lisanna called out again he feared she's try to take the scarf from him. She had tried it once before and it did not end well. Right as the thought passed in his mind Lisanna's glass again shot up to call out, "Scarf Natsu, hand it over!"

Natsu looked down taking off the Scarf but not handing it to Lisanna but instead tossing it too Lucy. As Lucy caught it, Natsu jumped off the stage and run out, Gajeel hot on his heals for pushing him to make Natsu's great escape.

-On the outskirts of town-

Gajeel caught Natsu hitting a tree.

"Alright fire breath what's wrong?" Gajeel asked watching Natsu continue to push a tree.

Natsu stops and turns to Gajeel as he falls to his knees gasping, "That scarf is connected to me and Ingeel. Ingeel kept me safe via it and I can feel everything Lucy is doing to it right now. When she caught it Gajeel I felt it! Right now she's holding it close to her chest, I feel it!"

Gajeel watching the young fire dragon slayer struggle with this, "You know it's coming up soon, so either tell her or go back to your cave and stop mopping around. It's worrying her, and when she is worried so is my bookworm and when my bookworm is worried I make that worry stop! So Salamder, what are you going to do about this? Going to tell her and take her or let that little sprit cat have her?"

Natsu still on his knees looks up at Gajeel, 'had he just said he cared about Levy?' growls at the Iron Dragon Slayer, "Like Hell Loki would do that. He's too good of a friend!"

Gajeel smirk, "Then get her, before she finds someone who won't was her time playing this game, Natsu. She likes you, and thinks about you all the time."

Natsu blinking, "You called me Natsu, Gajeel and how would you know that."

Gajeel blushing, "A small blue birdie told me. And trust me you need to get her soon. See ya for training in the morning."

Natsu nodded and headed home wanting to sleep off the little bit of alcohol him and Gajeel had drunk before going on stage.

Lucy who still had Natsu's scarf headed home as well though far drunker then him to be fair, she slammed close to six shots trying to take over Natsu's stripping but Lisanna was determined to be the one that stripped him. It wasn't like Lucy had hated it, but it felt wrong knowing Lisanna was going after Natsu so hard.

Once home Lucy drinker the hell calls Loki again from the spirit world, "Loki, I am looooney...come play with me."

Lucy pulling Loki upon his arrival in her room on to her bed with her trying to get his hand under her lacey panties. Loki smiling at Lucy's attempt but since he knows how much Natsu cares, no that's not it loves Lucy he felt there was only one way out, "Lucy hold on for a second. Let me got protection first." Loki disappeared and reappeared at Natsu home, "Natsu, you need to come with me."

Natsu nodding also slightly buzzed grabs Loki's hand as they appeared in Lucy's room. Loki whispered into Natsu's ear, "She thinks it's me but she loves you Natsu, so please her or I will come back and do it myself and make you watch."

Natsu growls as he hears Lucy moan, "Natsu... Natsu why don't you ever do anything alone with me anymore! I loved those times it was us training going on missions just hanging out...I want to wake you up like I had that day..."

Lucy still playing with herself, Natsu blushes as he remembers falling asleep on a mission and Lucy had to wake him up since her normal hitting him wasn't working so she pulled him close and kept kissing him till he moved and kissed his pants, waking him up right away with a smile on his face and blush gracing hers.

Natsu stumbles over and sees her eyes half closed and takes her pink lace panties off along with his pants. He rubs Lucy and takes her hand to rub him making him harder as he makes her wetter. Loki leaves smiling knowing Lucy is going to possibly be mad at him in the morning. Natsu teasing Lucy with his hardness watches as she finishes stripping herself in her drunk state.

Lucy murmuring still clearly drunk, "Mmmmm Natsu take me. Fill me with you and make me never leave your side."

At the Natsu sober up and smiles thinking to himself, 'that bastard knew she wanted me, well I guess I've been hiding I want her badly too. I love how soft her breasts are.' He starts sucking on one as he plays with the other all while resting his little head barely inside Lucy. Lucy moans and arches her back pushing him in a little more, only making them both moan. Natsu pulling his member away and starts thrusting his fingers as fast as he can trys to make her cum before he makes himself. Lucy grabs his head and pulls him away from sucking her breast to kiss him, just as she plants the kiss he losses it and cums with her.

Lucy. "Mmmmm... Natsu... I love you, Natsu. Please don't leave me..."

Lucy falls asleep and Natsu starts to try and clean up so she never knows he was there, though he spots too much cum on the sheets, 'damnit. There is too much... but it smells too good...' he licks her cum up and then Lucy's still wetness. 'She tastes so good...' he takes his finger and slides it in her. 'She's still warm and wet..' "Lucy I love you too and now I can't stand the thought of leaving you. I want to stay with you forever; just being here is making me want to make you mine forever. The dragon inside wants it even more. I have to mark you." Natsu leaves a small hickey on her shoulder. 'Well Loki, you'll get blamed for it but it's my mark. Now I just have to hold back, I am going to have problems maybe Gajeel is right. Tomorrow I'll tell her how I feel!' Jumping out of her window Natsu felt more alive than he had in a long time, hell if he was honest since Igneel left.

-Next morning at the Guild-

Natsu watched the door for Lucy to walk in. He had wanted to go to her house to do it but it just felt out of place if he did it while they were still in Magnolia when he told her. So he picked out a mission that required just two people and was going to ask her to go on it with him, since last night she said how much she missed them going just the two of them.

Natsu was starting to get worried when Lucy finally arrives looking slightly upset.

"Natsu…" Lucy runs over to her best friend and hugs him, "Can we talk?"

Natsu was sure he was blushing as he nodded and everyone saw Lucy running over to hug him, "Lucy we can talk on our way to go here." He holds out the flier of the mission he told Mira he wanted and told her he was going to ask Lucy.

Lucy smiled and blushed as Levy ran over grabbing her arm but before fully getting pulled away the Celestial mage called out, "Meet you at the train station our normal time!"

-Lucy's apartment-

"Lu-chan what was that all about? Running up to Natsu in front of everyone. Poor Lisanna, I thought she was going to die right along her sister! And Mira, don't you know how long she has been trying to get you and Natsu together?" Levy shouted as they walked back to Lucy's apartment.

"Levy-chan I don't know, I just felt like I had to. Like my body wanted to be close to him, like when you randomly kissed Gajeel in the archives." Lucy said opening the door.

"LU-CHAN YOU PROMISED NOT TO TELL ANYONE!" Levy shouted.

"Levy-chan, I told you. You were the one that did it. And I wanted to ask him about this," Lucy said pulling her collar slightly away from her neck reliving a small hickey and teeth marks, "Levy-chan I think he marked me. And I just want to be with him so bad now. Like there's something missing now that his arms are gone from my body."

"Lu-chan… You love him! Oh Gajeel wasn't joking! And if what I know about being with a dragon its they claim then make a move, did you have any weird dreams last night?" Levy asked jumping up and down.

Lucy smiled and blushed slightly, "I did call Loki but he said he had to get something then reappeared and it felt like there was someone else that kissed me."

"Lu-chan! This is just so great! He was kind of mopping around again this morning till you got there. Lisanna tried to cheer him up by saying she'd go with him, but he just growled and turned away," Levy said helping her friend pack for the two week mission, "Are you trying to torcher the poor guy with all that lace?"

"Natsu growled at Lisanna? That's not like him." Lucy said pulling out some lacy bras, "But then again he has been acting weird since she cornered him and tried to grab his pants. Levy-chan, I only have lace and girly undies."

Lucy smiled as she saw the scarf still hanging up on her bed post, she decided to grab it and return it to him today on the train, "Levy-chan I really need a bath, do you mind finishing my packing? I really want to look nice for him now."

Levy agreed since she knew how much Lucy liked Natsu, heck she had taken his scarf to the bath with her. Levy remembered then what Gajeel had said about Natsu feeling Lucy's touches from it last night, 'I wonder how he will be right now'; Levy just laughed and left since all of Lucy's packing was done.

Lucy loved the way the scarf smelt like Natsu, like the heat of a fire, warm cherries and the woods, it was only going to be there in the room but as she waited for the water to finish filling and since Levy had left, Lucy grabbed the scarf and smelt it again. 'Is it weird that I love to do that like this?' Lucy thought as she slid in to the water holding the scarf in her hand outside the water.

-Back at the guild-

Natsu felt himself harden, he knew Lucy had his scarf. He had meant to take it last night but he didn't want her to know it was him that had pleased her, but now he regarded leaving it there, not that he minded Lucy's hands all over it, heck it felt like she was all over him. He loved that, but he felt exposed without it. Maybe he would just stop by to get it. He ran from the guild and passed Levy, who smiled at him, on his way to Lucy's.

-Lucy's Apartment-

Lucy was just getting out of the bath still holding the scarf, she didn't know why but she didn't want to put it down she wanted it close to her, it felt like Natsu was close when his scarf was, so she put his scarf around her neck and got dressed. Once she finishes dressing, she looks in the mirror and sees Natsu standing at the window, thinking to herself 'how long has he been there and why can't he just use a door like everyone else?' Lucy asking quietly "Natsu how long were you there?"

Natsu had been watching her since she put his scarf around her neck; she was so beautiful to him. Her breast seemed to call him as she up on a red lace bra and orange lace panties seems to just tease him. Fire colors, his colors, it was like she was just asking him to break in. Then can the white shirt and blue skirt, hair up then a smile and now turning around. Natsu smiled and pushed the window open answering, "Just got here, Lucy"

Lucy sighed slightly relived he saw nothing but wondering why he was there, "Why are you here Natsu, I thought we were meeting at the train station?"

"I just wanted to get my scarf back…"Natsu lying again as Lucy takes off his scarf and hands it to him, " I have to talk to someone before we leave."

Lucy sighing, "Right, here." Taking the scarf off and handing it over just as Natsu's hand touched it he wrapped it around her waist.

"Keep it till we meet up later, okay?" Natsu mumbled as he jumped out the window to look for Gajeel.

Lucy stood there dumbstruck that Natsu had wanted his scarf back but then wrapped it around her waist, 'is there something about this scarf he hasn't told me?' Lucy let her hand rub the scarf as she undoes it and puts it back around her neck thinking 'it's safer around my neck then my waist, less likely to get lost while I walk.'

-Master's office -

Gajeel sat and listened to the master explain why he was unhappy with Gajeel.

"Master, please I need your approval before I will even think about asking her. If you disapprove then I will not disagree no matter but know that I truly love Levy. Without her…I would rather die than live a day without her. My life is meaningless when she is gone. There is nothing but emptiness around me," Gajeel said hanging his head so as to not show the tears at the thought of losing his Levy.

"Gajeel, you know I disapprove of what you have done in the past, but since joining this guild you have proven yourself. I will give my blessing but you must first help Natsu deal with his pain this season and then you may marry Levy," Said the master as he patted the Iron Dragon Slayer's arm.

The Iron Dragon Slayer nodded and got up to talk to Natsu, since the young fire mage was the only thing standing in his way of being with the one person Gajeel was willing to die for.

-Cliff behind the guild hall-

Natsu was sitting out by the cliff when Erza came up behind him, lost in thoughts of jumping and ending life if Lucy wouldn't accept him, when Erza sits beside him, Natsu feeling someone else there asks, "Do you need something?"

"Natsu why do you look so depressed, like you want to jump?" Erza asks as she sees Natsu getting lost in his thoughts, "If you want we can still go put you in the cave, the chains are all ready to go."

"I can't I told her we can go on a mission. I can stand being up in that cave and hearing her worry about me either being sick or taking too long on missions this time of year. I can feel her right now Erza; I can feel everything right now. And I just want to run to her and take her, and make it so no one can ever have but me," Natsu says looking out, "Maybe you should go instead of me."

"Natsu, its okay to admit you're afraid. Everyone has fears. I am sure Lucy is just as scared as you right now. She really likes you Natsu, I mean really likes you," Erza said smiling as she hugs Natsu, "So I won't go. You need to be the one, Natsu."

Lisanna listening in starts to feel herself getting pissed at Lucy, she liked her well enough but when it came to Natsu, Lisanna was going to be the one that married him and no one would stop her. She ran past Gajeel, who was walking towards the cliff and he looked like he was going to end someone soon.

Gajeel grabbing Natsu's vest and pulling him up, yelling, "TIMES UP SALAMANDER, MAN UP!"

Gajeel pushes Natsu toward the train station before turning around to Erza and saying, "Erza the next time you see Natsu like that or me or even Wendy. Do not hesitate to kill us. You would be doing a good thing for us. If we are looking for a way to die it means we have giving up on our mates or our mates have giving up on us. Natsu has only been hearing how he might lose Lucy if he can't tell her how he feels. And that's not good for a dragon right now. He needed a little hard love, and giving him that was the only thing standing between me and my mate, my Levy. Now if you don't mind, I am going to go ask her to marry me."

-Train Station-

Lucy playing with the scarf around her neck and looking around when a white haired girl walks up to her. Lucy smiling and waving, "Hey Lisanna, why are you here?"

Lisanna looking at Lucy as if she wanted Lucy dead, "I thought I told everyone, I was the only one who was going to be stripping Natsu at Cana's birthday party. So what give Lucy?"

Lucy looking shocked, "Look Lisanna, I like you well enough, even think we could be friends. But Natsu doesn't have those feeling for you. He gave me, not you but me, his scarf. He asked ME on this mission. Haven't you seen how he backs away every time you try to touch him since you cornered him just to please yourself. So Lisanna, you need to back off, because after this mission He will be mine and I will never let anyone every stand between us!"

Lisanna lunches at Lucy as Natsu stands between them. Grabbing Lisanna and throwing her into Elfman, who was just getting back from his mission.

"Lisanna what are you doing?" Natsu growled at Lisanna, "Attacking Lucy like that? Do you really think that's the way to get my eye? Win my heart by attacking Lucy? How stupid can you be, and I thought you were my friend."

Elfman looking confused asks, "Lisanna what did you do?"

Lisanna crying, "Lucy started it! She tried to take Natsu from us! She only wants to use him!"

Natsu sighing, "Elfman take her back to the guild. And tell Mira how she attacked Lucy."

Natsu grabbing Lucy's hand and walks to the ticket booth to get a privet car for them, "Lucy there's still something I want tell you but I don't want anyone to hear, okay?"

Lucy just blushed and nods. Once on the train Natsu's motion sickness starts kicking and Lucy tries to get him to drink the potion that Wendy had made for this trip. Natsu remembering the horrible taste keeps trying to pushing it away. Lucy eventually gives up and puts a little bit in her own mouth and kisses Natsu, who opens his mouth to Lucy letting the potion fall in to his. Feeling him being pulled into the sleep the potion has on him, Natsu tries to grab Lucy and pull her to the bed in their car.

"Lucy… please… I need to tell you something and I can't wait. Please…" Natsu said looking half asleep.

Lucy sighing lets him pull her to the bed, "Okay Natsu but then you sleep, okay?"

Natsu nods and falls fast asleep holding Lucy's waist. Mumbling in his sleep-like state, "I love you Lucy. I can't wait I need you. There's a pain inside me that grows. I hate when other guys look at you, I want to keep you for myself. I need to have you always Lucy, heck last night I almost couldn't stop myself when you were moaning my name, damn Lucy I loved you so much that I just wanted to keep going till morning, please Lucy….Please… save me…from myself…"

Lucy, looking at Natsu, was shocked. He loves her, he really loves her! She felt like nothing in this world mattered with that.

"Natsu, wake up, please." Lucy whispered in his ear.

Natsu opening his eyes, "I wasn't sleeping Lucy. I just didn't want to see your face if you don't feel the same. And it's okay. If you don't" sitting up and walking to the bathroom, "I'll just stay in here till we get there. You don't have to feel bad about not feeling the same, Lucy. Just promise me you won't forget about me if anything happens."

Natsu shuts the door and leans against it as he starts hitting his head against his hands thinking, 'I should have just jumped instead, and it would have been easier than this. This pain is just too much!'

"Natsu, can you please open the door. Storming off like that isn't helping. I still have something I want to tell you and I want to see your face when I say it." Lucy said trying to get the door open.

Natsu tenses before replying, "I think I already know you don't want me like that. Last night was just you being drunk, I get it."

"NATSU YOU OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR RIGHT NOW! I WILL NOT ASK AGAIN!" Lucy yelled before whispering, "Please."

Natsu locks the door and backs away looking at the mirror. He smashes it watching to the pieces fall over his arm and blood welling in the wake of the glass. Lucy beating on the door eventually gets it open and launches at Natsu pulling him close.

"Natsu, last night wasn't me being drunk calling for you, I do that every night. Natsu Dragneel, I love you. I do mean that. You are the man of my dreams and ever since that day we meet and you saved me and have been doing nothing but saving me since then. So tell me what to do to save you from this pain. I will do anything," Lucy whispers in his ear as he wraps her closer to him, "NATSU!"

"Lucy just shut up right now. I can't believe this. If this is a dream then don't let me wake up. You just did save me Lucy, that pain is going away; I can now be with my mate. I love you Lucy Heartfilia," Natsu nuzzling Lucy's neck.

"Natsu! Your bleeding, we have to stop it!" Lucy panicking as she strips her shirt off to press against his arm to help slow the blood flow.

Natsu slowly drifting off as Lucy bandages his whole arm, once the bandages were done he sleepily pulls Lucy close and nibbling on her ear, "Lucy, stay with me forever. Never leave me, okay?"

"Natsu, you fool. You'd get yourself killed if I felt you alone. Look what happen already, you tried to kill yourself. It's you that can't leave me. I don't think I could handle it if you left," Lucy looks away and cries into her hands.

Natsu pulls her back and kissing her tears away softly, "I won't ever leave you again. I don't know what I was thinking pulling that. I promise to never leave you so long as I am breathing, but you have to get me breathing again then. Promise?"

"Promise Natsu," Lucy whispers as she nuzzling his chest, "After this mission, we will look for Igneel together Natsu. I want to meet the man…Dragon who raised you to be this wonderful man I love with my whole heart."

"Lucy, dear it's time to wake up. We're here," Natsu whispers carrying a half sleeping Lucy from the train and to the client's house to get the rest of the mission.

The first thing Lucy notices was the stench of death that hung in the air; even Natsu noticed it but didn't know what it was. He pulled his scarf close to his mouth as Lucy paled as they entered the house.

Natsu pulling Lucy to him and muttering into her hair, "What's wrong Luce?"

"Death, Natsu! It's the smell in the air; this stench took over mom's when she was sick. After she died dad made the servants cleans the room three times a day for weeks! Yet the smell never left! Mom's smell was gone; dad got rid of anything that held the smell because it also had the stench of death on it! He even sealed up the room she had been in and wouldn't let anyone in there. One servant did after I had left the first time and was caught taking a toy mom had made me from the room. Dad fired them right away…I want to leave Natsu…" Lucy sobbing on Natsu's chest.

Natsu was speechless, 'Lucy knows this smell….She's gone through this pain once, I can't let her smell this any longer. I'm going to get this mission done fast!'

"Luce-Lu? Is it really you, Luce-Lu…..I am so happy to see you again. I get to see my shining star again, Luce-Lu please come here." A sick frail old man calls out as Lucy's sobbing is heard throughout the house.

Lucy moves away from Natsu and towards the voice, seeing it's Kip she runs and starts hugging the old man who is laying on a bed with wires and a drip in his arm but smiles as she hugs him and returns it.

"Kip-sensei, I didn't know it was your request. I would have come sooner if I had!" Lucy hip-ups holding the man's frail body close.

Natsu moves around the room to let Lucy and kip catch up. A red toy catches Natsu's eye as Lucy sits on the side of Kip's bed holding one of his hands. The toy is a red dragon, Igneel that causes Natsu to smile as he picks it up and remembers the first time he saw this design of the toy.

-Lucy's room*Night of her 6th Birthday*-

Natsu snuck in to the room holding the side of his neck that was bleeding.

"Stupid man. I just wanted to give her a gift for her birthday. He didn't have to shot me for it, a simple no would have been fine," a young Natsu mumbled lying on her bed, "not that I would have listened. I am going to give her the flower."

Natsu was fast asleep when Lucy entered her room after her bath. Seeing Natsu asleep she smiled and lays next to him, but sees blood.

"Natsu! Why are you bleeding?" Lucy asking in hushes tones.

Natsu sleepily mumbles, "Your dad shot me for trying to give you this."

He holds up a flower and smiles at her, "Please don't cry. I'm fine. Dragon heal faster than humans, Luce. Smile, please."

Lucy smiles and pulls his hand away from the now small cut running on the right side; she is over come with the need to lick the blood away.

"Natsu, we need to clean this blood up. I am gonna go get a cloth to wipe it up." Lucy whispers as she slowly gets up from her bed as Natsu pulls her back.

"You can lick it off Lucy, I won't mind. If you don't mind….If you do then go get the cloth." Natsu whispers back blushing as Lucy leans down and licks the blood off, "Lucy….from now on I am yours. You can ask for anything and I'll do it. I'll do anything for you."

*Present*

"It's good to see you too Natsu, "Kip coughs, pulling Natsu from the memory, and holds his hand out to the blushing pink haired teen.

Natsu takes Kip's hand and sits in the chair next to the bed while still holding the toy and replies, "You too Kip. It's good to see you, though it'd be better if you weren't sick."

Lucy leans over Kip's body to take the toy from Natsu's, who doesn't let her take it and makes her hold his hand and it, leg and says, "I remember this toy. I loved it so much but I left it with mom when she got sick and never took it from the bed. I thought maybe it could save her again, since it's the dragon that saved her once. I had heard a servant had taken it out of the room and got fired…. Kip-sensei that was you?!"

"It was." Kip said smiling at the two teen's holding hands slyly, "I got fired but I was able to live in the house I had built on the property with your father's blessing. He didn't know I had taken all the toys, Luce-Lu, this one I just got caught with but it was the last one in the room."

Lucy was shocked, "You took all the toys… There must have been close to a thousand though! Why did you do it?"

"because, after Igneel and Natsu left, you only cried and this toy and the other toy over there," Kip pointing to a small boy shaped toy, "was the only way you would sleep and take comfort in. Once it was gone and your mother dead, you walked around numb and so un-like my Luce-Lu. I wanted you to smile and be happy again. I knew your father wouldn't let Igneel or Natsu back near you, so I started taking the toys out of the room and had meant to give you them but I just never found the right time to. I had been very careful till the last one, but this isn't why you are here. I wish we could talk longer, but I fear the longer I take the less time you will have to get the toys back from the thieves. I fear they will be sold, and I wouldn't care to see the toys played with by other children but not as a cost. I wouldn't give the ones you loved to dearly, Luce-Lu, I was you to take them home I will have them boxed up and sent to you. They are all here in this room with me, please save the others from being sold!" Kip asked smiling a sad smile.

Lucy's eyes turned cold, "I will not let anyone sell mom's toys! And for hurting Kip-sensei I will not rest till they are beaten!"

Natsu scooted away from Lucy but smiled at her turning to the window yelling, "I'm all fired up now. Let's go Luce!"

"Luce-Lu, I don't have to long to live, but I am glad to see you with Natsu before I die. I am happy to see your smile returning Luce-Lu. And please don't worry about me, be happy and take care of that silly dragon." Kip said looking at Lucy's expression

"I will Kip-sensei, and tell dad….Thank you for taking care of him." Lucy asks kissing Kip's forehead before running after Natsu.

Natsu smelling around for Lucy's sent follows the thieves and beats the crap out of them. Lucy finally catches up as they are bloody and Natsu sitting down beside them.

"Slow-poke! There two had a toy dog you used to throw at me, that's how I found them." Natsu said getting up and pulling them towards the police station.

"Whitten, I remember you always taking my Igneel toy from me and I had to get it back." Lucy smiled at the memory, "Hey Natsu you didn't destroy anything this time."

Natsu laughing and pulling her close, "Of course not! It was for you, and Kip. I told you once just ask and I'll do it. I couldn't go crazy and risk damaging one of the toys you loved, because I love you."

"Love you too, you Idiot!" Lucy smiles kissing Natsu's chin.

Hope you all like it! Reviews are greatly appreciate. now on to the next story! Yay! *jumps up for joy*
