A/N: I'm so sorry I've been gone so long! I've had the worst writters block and I've been busy with work and stuff. I'm going to try to update more often.
Chapter 6
Several days have passed since I've felt dizzy. Wendy and Porclusia gave me some medication to help and so far it's been working great. I've felt like my normal self. Natsu is still worried though and has insisted on staying at my place. I've been trying to convince Team Natsu that I'm feeling good enough to go on a mission.
"Please Natsu. I need rent money. We can even take Wendy along and pick a small easy mission."
"I still don't think it's a good idea, Lucy. I'll go on a mission and get the rent money."
"No way Natsu. I couldn't let you do that."
"It's ok, I've been wanting to go on a mission, and as much as I want to go on an adventure with you, I want you to be safe and I can't always protect you while we're on missions. Normally I'm not worried about you but if we went on a mission now, all I'd do is worry about you." He explained. " I'll just go get you the rent money, I've been staying there too so it's fine."
"But Natsu, we're partners. Please let me go. I'm fine, I'm back to normal. i want to go on an adventure with you. I've missed it, please." I pleaded giving him my best puppy dog eyes.
"Luce... I... I've missed it too but if anything happened to you..." He trailed off and looked away. "Ok let's look and see if there's a small easy mission. "
"Oh thank you Natsu! I'll be careful I promise." I jumped up and threw my arms around him. He seemed stunned at my actions for a moment and then hugged me back. Mira was behind the bar fangirling. Erza and Wendy were smiling.
"She lllliiiikkkkeeeessss him." Happy purred.
"Shut up Cat!"
"So we're going on a mission?" Gray asked.
"I've got the perfect one for you guys." Mira smiled and held up a request. It read: Seeking house sitters. Our house gets robbed often and we have never been able to capture the theives. We are going away for a few days and need some people to watch the house and hopefully finally capture these theives. Reward 350,000 Jewel.
"Sounds easy enough." Erza said.
"And we could probably keep Lucy out of the fight with the theives." Wendy added.
"Ok it's settled we leave in the morning." Erza announced.
"Ok Lucy let's go home to pack and rest up." Natsu said and I nodded. We got back to the apartment and packed. I started on dinner and noticed Natsu being oddly quiet.
"Natsu?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah. Just thinking about the mission."
"It's gonna be ok. It's an easy mission with little fighting and everyone is going to be there, so everything is going to be fine." I tried to reassure him. "And I haven't had an attack in a while."
"You're right but you still haven't been yourself lately either. I'm worried that something's really wrong with you. You just don't smell quite right. I'm just worried and I hope everything goes well tomorrow." He said. So I don't smell quite right? I'll admit I still don't feel like my old self, I feel tired alot and I don't have much energy but I just need to work through it.
"It'll be ok. Let's go to bed." I said and headed for the bedroom. Natsu quickly joined me and we fell asleep, or at least I did, fairly quick. I woke up before Natsu and went to make breakfast and get everything ready to go. The morning went by without incident. Natsu, Happy, and I made it to the station and met up with everyone else. We fell into our old routine easily. It felt like old times and I was thourouly enjoying it. We finally made it to the town and made our way to the clients house. They basically told us the same thing Mira had. So we prepared ourselves, we split up so we could cover more ground. Natsu was around back gaurding the back enterance, Erza was out front, Gray was on the right side of the house and Wendy was on the left. I ended up gaurding the safe, the house owners told us this safe was the one that the theifs usually go after. So far everything was quiet, it was actually pretty boring. I wonder if Natsu is upset or happy that nothings happening. Normally I think he'd be upset because he has no one to fight, but tonight I bet he's glad that I have nobody to fight. I hope whatever was making me dizzy and sick is over so everything can get back to the way it was before. I'm tired of everyone being careful around me. Though it's nice being with Natsu all the time. It feels like we're a couple, it's nice. Honestly it's made me fall even more in love with him. It kills me to know that he likes Lissanna and not me. BOOM! Oh no sounds like Natsu found the theives. Boom! Crash! Bang! Ahhh! A guy came crashing through the door along with Natsu. Bang! Boom! Sounds like the others are fighting too. Natsu started dueling with the guy behind him. The guy on the floor that came crashing through the door finally got up and started towards an unknowing Natsu. Nows my chance!
"Open gate of the bull! Taurus!" I recited with Taurus's gate key, but nothing happened. What the hell! Ok I'll try a different one. " Open gate of the ram! Aries!" Still nothing. What's going on? I look out my whip and went after the guy. I also grabbed Loke's key and tried to call him out. Nothing happened again, something must be wrong with my magic. I hit the guy with my whip, he fell and I hit him again.
"Stupid Girl! You can't defeat me with just a whip. I'm from Raven Moon!" Raven Moon? That's the dark guild that was helping the guy that was trying to steal my power for himself. "Take this!" He yelled throwing an attack at me, he wasn't a very powerful mage, but without my magic I couldn't do much to him. He had a power similar to Bixlow but he was much much weaker. I dodged but it made me dizzy and I couldn't avoid his next attack. It knocked me down and Loke appeared next to me.
"Are you ok?" Loke asked. I opened my mouth to answer but before I could everything went black.
A/N: Ok so there it is. I know it's not the best chapter, but I had the hardest time writing it so please don't judge too harshly. I don't have an editer or anything so I'm sorry for any mistakes.
