I was half awake, something realy warm next to me. I snuggled closer to it, only to realize it was a person. I forced my eyes to open and freaked out.
"Natsu!?", i yelled. He groaned and rolled over. I started poking him. "Natsu? Why are you in my bed?"
"Lucy kicked me out of her apartment... Your window was open...", he mumbled.
I sighed,"Next time, warn me? Or sleep on the couch..." He nodded and i started to climb out of bed. I looked through my clothes. I yanked out an outfit and left for my bathroom. I shut and locked the door behind me. Changing into a black shirt that showed my shoulders, faded skinny jeans, and black converse. I should go shooping today...
When i walked out of the bathroom, Natsu was leaving my room and he asked,"Whats for breakfast?" I sweatdropped.
"Wanna go grab some food? I dont have much here yet... Just chocolate..." His smile didnt disappear as he ran to my window. I followed. When he jumped out, he grabbed my hand and pulled me out behind him. I used my cat-like reflexes and landed on my feet.
"Where do ya wanna go Gina?", Natsu asked.
"Anywhere's fine."
He smiled and said,"Okay!" Soon, we were running and Happy appeared singing, "He liiiiiikes you!" I rolled my eyes, knowing that he likes Lucy. It was obvious but their both blind. When we ran into a resturant, Natsu ordered immidiately. Am i paying for ALL of this? I wont have any money to shop later!
"And you miss?", asked the waiter.
I replied,"Can i just have some water and french toast?" He nodded and took off to put our order in. "You guys eat a lot..."
"Aye!"
Natsu grinned and said, "Cause food is delicious!"
"Chocolates better..."
"Well isnt chocolate food?"
"Its a dessert or a treat."
"So its food!"
"Natsu, chocolates not food. Its special." He laughed and our food started coming out. "That fast?!"
"Aye! Thats why we eat here!", Happy answered me. I ate my food at a humane pace. Natsu and Happy on the other hand... They were basicly breathing in the food. I feel bad for the chef. When i finished, I looked at Natsu's empty bowls and plates. I paled.
"How can you eat so much food?!", I yelled.
"I dunno. Shusht(just) can," Natsu said with a mouth full of food. I laughed and denied anymore food from the waiter. I sipped on my water and waited for Natsu and his Exceed to finish. Im glad i didnt have to MAKE all this food. I probobly wouldnt. I make a little and tell him to get it from somewhere else if he's still hungry. My thoat started to ache and i held back the urge to cough. I think i caught a cold. I flopped over in the booth, my feet dangling over the edge. I waited patiently while the two males finished their breakfast. "Done!", Natsu announced.
"Ready to go then?", I asked.
"Yep!"
"Aye!" I sat up and set some jewel onto the table. Then we left. I walked with Natsu to the guild hall. As soon as we got there, Gray and Natsu started fighting. Then most of the guild got dragged into it. I laughed to myself and walked past the fights to the bar.
"Hi Mira," I said.
"Hi Gina!", she answered kindly.
I bravely asked," Do you know any good clothes shops?" Lucy warned me not to ask Mira... Now i know why. Before i could even blink, Mira was dragging me through town. We ran into a shop and she shoved me into a dressing room with clothes. It took me a while to resgister what was going on.
I wont make you listen in leangth about our FOUR HOUR shopping trip! I was dragged throughout town, buying clothes with Mira. I was exsausted when she told me we were done.
"Thank god!", i muttered. It was around noon or aybe later when I got home. Mira left and went back to the guild hall. I put all my clothes neatly away and looked at the book i read last night. Forgeting to go buy food, I picked up the book and jumped out my window. I prefer windows to doors. I walked to the edge of town were there was a clearing. I set the book down in the grass and studied the spell one last time.
"Hmmm... Earths cry..." I practied going through the three motions i had to do. After a few minutes, I picked up the pace drasticly. Then i added the words. Pointing away from Magnolia, I shouted,"Hell on Earth!" Some green magic started to flow out of my hands but not much. I guess i still need to practice. Or maybe work out? I layed in the grass and started with sit ups. I did 20. Then I attempted to do push ups.
Attempted.
I did one before colapsing. Note to self: Work on arm streangth. I got into plank form and held int for 30 seconds. It took a lot of effort. I mean A LOT. My arms are pretty weak I guess. I felt warm so i knew it was working at least. I tried to do some push ups again. 3... Well i have a goal to beat. My arms are so thin. Maybe i sould eat more? I sighed and was about to try push-ups again when a voice rang out.
"Stop following me!" My ears twitched and my tail flicked. I turned towards the female's voice. I got up, grabbing my book and stalked over. "Leave me alone!", she yelled at the man. She was crying. Break-up gone wrong? I loomed over them in a tree.
"Babe-"
"Dont call me that!"
He grabbed her wrist,"Listen! Your gonna stay with me or else!" I could see she was in pain. i dropped out of the tree.
"Back off," I warned him. She looked glad to see someone intervean.
"Stay outta this pussy cat."
I hissed," Im not a cat."
He laughed and replied,"But you have cat ears."
"Whatever. Cant you see your hurting her? Leave her alone."
"Or what kitty kitty? You scratch me?", his laughter rang out. This pissed me off. I am NOT a cat. I started walking towards him, energy flowing into me from the woods around us. I lifted up my fist and nailed him right in the face. "What the hell!?", he yelled.
"Let me be clear. One: I am not a cat. 2: you leave her alone." He glared at me and I returned said look. I had the girl hiding behind me because when I punched him, he let her go. I took this oppurtunity to move her from his reach. "Run," I whispered to her. She obeyed when he came flying at us, hif fist engulfed in a blue flame.
"Mind your own buissness!", he yelled at me.
"No."
"What? You listen to me cat," he moved to attack me again. I dodged. "She's my property. I do what i want to and with her. You just butt out. Got it kitty?" I was so mad right now. The nerve to call me a cat. Then the nerve to cal a human being his property. I absolutely hated him.
"Ass," I hissed at him and swung my arm into the air. Branches on the tree's grew long and whipped at him. He burned them away. I had grass reach up and tye around his shoes. Rocks flew up and encased my hand as i punched him again, this time in the gut. The i repeated once more to his face. He dropped unconsious. I smirked. "I win,"I muttered. I turned to leave but felt someone watching me. I looked around, feeling a little annoyed.
I grabbed my book, not noticing i dropped it until I turned around. I walked back to the clearing to practice more. Never once did the feeling of being watched leave. I tried to do push ups, my face reddening in response. The most i could get in a set was 5.
When i moved to do more, someone said,"Y'know you should work your way up to full on push ups?" I jumped to my feet, ready to fight, when i saw the blonde man from a while ago. Laxus i think. I noticed a lightning bolt shaped scar down his eye. I saw him better in the day light. He was tall and handsome, his muscles defined.
"So what? I'll practice my own way," I stated cooly.
"Why are you practicing?"
"I wanna get stronger," i hesitated with my response.
He chuckled and repeated," Why are you practicing?"
"Are you deaf?", i puffed my cheek out in annoyance. "I said i wanna get stronger!"
"I think its because i had to protect you the other night." I rolled my eyes and ingnored his constant teasing or pestering. When the sun was low in the horizen, I felt tiered and hungry. I grabbed my book and started walking away. Laxus left a while ago, bored due to me ingoring him. When i walked into the guild hall, a table came flying at me. I jumped, using the table to push higher into the air. Maybe i'll join in their fight tonight? I dropped in between Natsu and Gray, grabbing their faces with a smile. I then spun, throwing them opposite directions. Natsu got up quickly, running over with a grin, ready to fight. I did half a cart wheel and used my leg to kick Natsu.
"Not fair!", called out. "Your ot using Magic!"
"Do i have to?", I asked.
Gray answered,"Nope." I smiled and fought with the rest. After a while, I was done with it. I went to the bar and started chatting with Mira and Lucy. Erza joined us at somepoint, enjoying strawberry cake. Then all hell broke loose. Elfman was thrown into Erza, knocking her cake to the floor. She glared at the floor. Everyone froze. She was surrounded by a dark aura.
"What is the meaning of this?",she asked calmly, rage written on her face.
"I-I-Im sorry E-Erza!", Elfman stuttered.
Gray was in only his boxers and stammered,"We didnt mean t-to!"
Natsu just squealed,"Aye!"
Someone in the back yelled,"Not again! We dont need Happy #2!" I kept my eyes on Erza as she slowly made her way to the middle of the fight. She then startd attacking, left and right. Lucy, Mira, and I laughed. Those poor boys... I gazed around the guid hall. Then i saw a familiar, annoying, face.
