A/N:Hello! I just love Soul Eater, so- wait. Wrong story. Heh. This is Fairy Tail! Enjoy my faithful readers! This is a not-so-symmetrical story, so if your Death the Kidd, I suggest you not read this. Here, get distracted by the number 8. Enjoy the symmetry!

Gray winced at the memory, letting a stray tear go down his face. He quickly wiped it away when he felt Lucy stir. He glanced down and saw the little girl rubbing her eyes sleepily.

"Good morning Onii-san." She yawned.

Gray smiled. "Lucy-chan, want to get some breakfast in the guild? I'm not very good at cooking." Lucy giggled, nodding.

"First I have to change." Gray stated, promptly taking off his shirt.

"EEP!" Gray was surprised when he heard a squeak. He turned to Lucy, only to get hitt in the face with a pillow by a red faced Lucy. "Don't change in front of me Onii-san!" Gray blushed, remembering the 6 year old.

"Err. Sorry." He muttered throwing on a random shirt from his closet.

"Pervert! Gray's a pervert~" A certain blue cat sang, flying into the room, right on Lucy's head.

"Happy-chan!" The girl squealed hugging the blue neko. Gray cringed. "If Happy's here, then..." He whirled around to see the pink haired dragon slayer with Lucy in his well-built arms.

"You dare try to erase this little girl's innocence, Ice-block?" He seethed, glaring at the ice mage. "Thats why Lucy-chan should stay at my house."

Gray laughed.

"You don't even know how to take care of yourself. How do you expect to take care of Lucy?"

Natsu hissed at him. Then he noticed something. "Ito, Luce? Did Loki return to you last night? After panicking blindly for about 20 minutes, he went in search of you."

Lucy put a finger to her chin, as she searched her belt, for the Leo key. When she found it, she nodded happily.

"Okay then! Lets go to the guild!" Natsu exclaimed running away from the ice alchemist, making him twitch and run after them. "OI! GIVE LUCY BACK!"

When Gray made it to the guild he leaned onto the bar, chugging down ice water that was set on the counter by Mira.

"Good morning Gray. Where's Lucy-chan? I want to show her some cloths me and Lisanna bought for her." Gray blinked.

"You mean she's didn't come here yet?"

"..." Silence. Crack. Angry Ticks.

"YOU LOST LUCY?" The guild echoed. Multiple glares directed at Gray, sending a chill down his spine. A pissed off Erza stood behind him with a sword.

"You lost one of our precious nakama? Especially one we hadn't seen for ages?" Gray had a feeling that he might see the River of Sanzu* in a few minutes.

"Natsu-Nii? Where are we going?" Lucy asked, still in the protective clutchs of Natsu. "We're going to my house Lucy! It'll be your home, other than Fairy Tail, from now on."

Lucy titled her head. "But, I thought I was staying at Gray-Onii-san's house."

"Well, Gray is stupid!"

"Natsu-Nii shouldn't talk badly about his Nakama."

Natsu stuck out his tongue. "Hn." Lucy frowned. "And he's suppose to be the older one here." She pinched his cheeks. "I'm not satisfied with that answer."

"Lushy! Shats hushts!" He tried saying through pinched cheeks. Happy giggled, flying above them.

"Lucy-chan can tell that Nii-san cares alot for his nakama. Now say it."

Natsu puffed out his lips, muttering something. Lucy's frown deepened. "Nii-san!"

"Fine! I care about Snowman. What of it!"

Lucy smiled satisfied as she nestled herself in his arms. By that time, they had made it to Natsu's cottage. When they entered, Natsu's house had not changed. There were more missions pinned to the wall, but like Gray's house, there was a totally separate place.

A maid outfit, an autograph knifed to the wall, a mission with a sub-text, and because Lucy was so smart, she could read out the words:

First Mission with Lucy EVERR!

There were pictures of the same blonde girl with the same name as Lucy-chan. Only plenty more of just Natsu and Lucy. Lots of which had Happy. The background consisted of the guild, an unknown house, the park, and some other places.

Lucy could tell that this girl meant alot to Natsu-Nii. She wondered what really happened to her. She seemed pretty precious.

"This is your house Luce!" He exclaimed happily hugging the girl. "You won't be taken away from me again." He muttered serious for once. Taking in the smell he's missed by burying his face in her blonde hair. Lucy in his tight, protective embrace.

"Natsu?" Natsu winced. His eyes widened. "Lucy?"

"Natsu? Whats wrong?"

"-san! Nii-san! Whats wrong? Your hurting me." Natsu snapped out of his thoughts, finally noticing the very tight hug he had Lucy in. "Sorry Lucy..." He let her go, and looked down.

Lucy tilted her head, as she put her small hands on his lap. "Are you okay?"

Natsu put up his head and nodded with his lopsided grin. "Yeah Lucy-chan. Now that you've seen your house, lets head to the guild! Lisanna and Mira brought new cloths for you yesterday!"

Lucy squealed in happiness as Natsu picked her up on his shoulders, racing out of the house and leaving a concerned Happy to follow them.

"Natsu..."

Danm Natsu! You are DARK!
