"Are you sure, Natsu?" Mira asked in concern as her light blue eyes stared at the pink haired drangonslayer who keeps shoving food in his mouth. "Doesn't she have the right to know?"
"Mira, she isn't ready to know!" Natsu said as he looked at Mira with a serious expression. The takeover mage just looked at him in disbelief.
"But the way you told the whole guild this morning made it sound like you are never going to tell her. Let alone want her to know!" Mira exclaimed as she continued to wipe the glasses. She remembered this morning how Natsu came in when everyone except Lucy was there. He yelled at everyone to not tell Lucy only one memory and one memory only. Everyone in the guild quickly understood and agreed with the drangonslayer.
"It's for the best!" Natsu sighed as he continued to eat his fire chicken. Mira just looked at him annoyed.
"Natsu! You know it is not deep inside! This is too big of a secret! I am not saying tell her now…" The barmaid started to speak but was soon cut off by the annoyed dragonslayer.
"MIRA! Everyon understood fine! WHY CAN'T YOU?" Natsu growled loudly annoyed at the white haired barmaid. A vein instantly popped on Mira's forehead as she glared at Natsu menacingly.
"Natsu! One question! When you are planning to tell her you love her? Tell her that she died to save you and everyone? That the reason she lost her memories was because she brought you and our loved ones back to life? That she saved the world with her courage and bravery? You might say that she isn't ready to hear this now. You maybe right she is not. But I assure you! One way or another she will find out whether you like it or not. Even if you refuse to tell her she WILL find a way! And when that day comes YOU WILL BE THERE FOR HER!" Mira growled as she stared into his Onyx eyes with fury.
Natsu gulped loudly as he stared at the white haired barmaid in fear. He didn't even try to breath.
Mira sighed loudly as she slammed the glass mug down on the bar counter making the dragonslayer jump. She immediately stalked to the back room and slammed the door closed loud enough for the dragonslayer to flinch.
"She is worse than Erza!" Natsu exclaimed in horror.
"The demon speaks the truth." Natsu turned his head to the blue haired woman in shock. The ex-spirit just looked at Natsu smiling evilly. "You better take care of that brat!"
Natsu gulped again for the second time today. He stared at Aquarius in fear. What is today threaten Natsu to death day? Just as his day can't get any worse the guild doors immediately slammed open revealing a angered blonde woman with a blue exceed clinging to her chest crying out her name.
"NATSU!" The blonde woman yelled in anger. Her voice immediately hushed the guild as she stalked to the dragonslayer.
"Hey Lucy!" Natsu said nervously as he turned to face the angered woman. Lucy immediately peeled off the cat on her chest with force and held him in front of Natsu.
"Is this your cat?" Lucy growled angrily. Natsu wanted so much to shake his head no, but he knew he couldn't.
"Well…..technically no…he is our nakuma!" Natsu said shakily. Lucy hummed as she made her face go closer to Natsu staring him down.
"WHAAHHHH NATSU LUCY DOESN'T REMEMBER ME!" Happy cried as he got out of Lucy's hold and slammed himself to Natsu's chest. Natsu's eyes widened as he stared at the angered blonde.
"So he is your cat! If I am correct he is the one that lives in my place along with you! His name is Happy right?"
"LUCY! YOU REMEMBER ME!" Happy cried as he went to go fly to Lucy, but he was only met with a fist. Happy immediately flew out the guild crying how mean Lucy is.
"HAAPPPPPYYYY!" Natsu yelled as he stared in shock at the hole Happy caused when he left. Lucy immediately took this chance and grabbed Natsu by the collar of his vest.
"You and your cat need to GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" Lucy yelled angered as she pushed Natsu aside and stomped her way towards Levy and Erza. The blonde woman looked at them with determination in her eyes. "Starting today I want you and everyone to tell me about myself in the past. I want to know. I want to remember for you."
Everyone in the guild looked at Lucy smiling sadly knowing that what they tell her will hurt her. Natsu turned to Gray wide eyed still shocked at all the threats he has suffered today. Gray just shrugged.
"Maybe they are all PMSing!" Gray casually said. He turned his head to notice his son's actions. "OI! RIKU! WHAT THE HELL DID I TELL YOU ABOUT STRIPPING! Idiot son!" Gray yelled as he chased after his half naked son.
"He says that even though he is naked himself, ice head!" Natsu rolled his eyes as he grabbed a fire whiskey and made his way to Lucy and the rest of the guild.
"GRAY! RIKU! IDIOT FATHER AND SON! PUT ON YOUR CLOTHS OR SUFFER THE CONSEQENCES!" Erza yelled at the trembling half naked duo. Both father and son immediately search for their cloths terrified. Erza turned to the side to see Setsu and Aquarius's daughter, Lucy, fighting. "STOP FIGHTING! NOW!" She yelled angered. Both girls immediately stopped not wanting to deal with the wrath of the red haired woman. They each went to their separate ways, but soon everyone gathered around Lucy.
They all told her stories from when she was at the guild. The blonde woman listened intently with a smile on her face. Her smile radiating throughout the happy guild. Lucy noticed all the guild members smile as they told the stories of her past with them. The past she forgot, the past she wants to remember more than anything. They told her of all the missions she went on. They told her about the fun she had in the guild. What sparks Lucy's interest was that no one told her how she got there or even how she became like this without memory. To her it also seems that Natsu is always with her in the past. As everyone talked happily Lucy couldn't help, but think what was she to Natsu? Or even what was Natsu to her?
"So Natsu and that blue cat were always at my house before?" Lucy spoke annoyed once everyone finished telling her some of her old memories. Natsu heard the annoyed voice and looked at the blonde goddess nervously.
"Yeah! You would always kick him out!" Levi said happily as she laughed.
"Flamebrain, never stood a chance against you when you were pissed!" a fully dressed Gray laughed as Natsu just glared at him.
"SHUT THE HELL UP, ICE PRINCESS! YOU EITHER!" Natsu yelled at the ice mage in anger.
"WHAT YOU CALL ME!" Gray yelled as he stomped towards Natsu slamming his forehead against his in anger. Everyone watched them with smile on their faces happy to know that is back to the old ways.
"You heard me, ice princess!" Natsu hissed getting ready to punch him.
"ENOUGH!" Erza yelled immediately stopping their fight. Both grown men instantly cowered in fear away from the scarlet mage.
"It looks like they are deathly scared of Erza!" Lucy laughed along with everyone else. Natsu immediately turned red in embarrassment as he crossed his hands over his chest.
"Lucy! It's time to meet the kids!" Mira said happily as two girls with white hair stood in front of her. "You meet all the adults yesterday! It's only fair that you meet our kids!" Mira pointed to the older of the white haired children. The girl had her hair in a high ponytail and bangs covering her right eye. She looked at Lucy with observing blue eyes. "This is Setsu. She is the oldest out of all the children. She is only ten years old. You knew her before actually you were pretty close!"
"She is the exact replica of Mira. When Mira was in her young days!" Fried said laughing at his embarrassed wife and daughter.
"I wasn't that bad!" "I am nothing like my mom!" Both mother and daughter objected as they whined to him.
"I'M YUMI! I'm four!" The smallest of Mira's girls said happily as she smiled widely at Lucy. Her green eyes sparkling as they stared at Lucy in joy. Lucy looked at the short small girl in pain as she had a war with herself.
"Lucy is trying to resist Yumi's cuteness!" Mira said knowingly as she chuckled at the pained blonde.
"Impossible not even Gajeel could resist it!" Cana said as she grabbed a new barrel of beer to drink out of. Romeo stood next to her looking at his adopted mother with worry.
"Mom, I think you had enough!" Romeo said in worry at the brunette. Wendy smiled at her boyfriend in worry as she knew what he was in for now for calling Cana that.
"Ew! I told you not to call me mom! It makes me feel old! I may have dated your father and adopted you! But I am pretty sure you didn't come out of my Vigina!" Cana said a matter factly at the teenage boy.
"CANA! THERE ARE CHILDREN AROUND!" Juvia, Lisanna, and Erza yelled scolding at her. Cana just shrugged and went back to drinking. Romeo sighed at her knowing that's how she always is.
"AWWWW SHE IS TOO CUTE!" Lucy yelled unable to resist anymore as she grabbed Yumi into a death hug. Yumi laughed happily into Lucy's ample chest as her short white hair flowed out everywhere.
"YOUR CHOKING MY SISTER!" Setsu yelled angrily as she tried to pry Yumi away from Lucy. Everyone laughed at scene in front of them. Seeing Lucy not wanting to let Yumi go while Setsu gets pissed.
The rest of the day Lucy got to know the rest of the kids of Fairy Tail. She met Lisanna's husband and their son 2 year old son, Natsu. Gray and Juvia's son's Riku and Sho. Riku has a tendency to strip just like his father which made Lucy laugh on how Gray would yell at his son even though he stripped also. Aquarius and Scorpio's children entertained the blonde the most. Aquarius's older daughter is also named Lucy and she had half red hair and half blue hair with dark eyes. She is only 5 and half years old. She is Setsu's rival. Also she has a twin brother with red hair and blue tips his name is Akira. Aquarius and Scorpio have 4 more kids, but apparently due to circumstances they had to stay in the spirit world until they are a little bit older. But Aquarius told Lucy that they do come visit when they are on vacation. Lucy also met Aries and Loki's small son who is only a baby his name was Larry.
"Those kids were so cute!" Lucy gushed out as she remembers all the kids' faces as she followed Natsu. "Everyone seemed so happy as they told me about the past. I wish I could remember!" She said sadly as she continued to walk.
"You don't have to strain yourself to remember, Lucy! You know that!" Natsu said as he continued to lead Lucy to a certain place.
"I know! I know! I want to create new memories with everyone! But still it would be nice if I can remember! Like did I ever have parents? What about brother and sisters? A boyfriend? How did I get to here? What happened to me?" Lucy wondered out loud as she looked up at the night sky. The stars glistened happily as if telling her welcome back.
Natsu continued to walk in silence taking in what Lucy just said. He already decided not to tell her about what happened to her, but can he tell her about her childhood. Or even about the phantom attack at the guild that happened a long time ago. The guild was careful today in telling her happy memories only, but can he tell her the painful ones. Will she shut down if she does?
"Natsu where are we going?" Lucy asked curiously as they went up a steep hill all she saw at the top was a giant beautiful tree that shined with the light of the stars. They stopped in front of the tree. Lucy marveled at its beauty as Natsu just sat down on the soft grass. He leaned his back on the hard tree and looked at the blonde lovingly. Lucy looked at the pink haired man noticing his stare. Her cheeks instantly turned red as she tried to scowl at him. "W-What are you staring at?" She tried to hiss, but she only failed miserably.
Natsu just patted the ground next to him motioning for the blonde to come sit next to him. Lucy hesitated as she stared at the dragonslayer uncertain.
"I am not going to bite you, Luce!" Natsu said smiling at her. The full moons light shined on his face showing his handsome face to her.
"That is not what I am afraid of." She whispered softly as she moved her hand unconsciously over her beating heart. Her honey brown eyes looked at the green grass uncertain.
"So you're gonna stand up while I tell you how I found you and brought you to Fairy Tail?"
"No!" Lucy instantly sat down next to Natsu ignoring her own beating heart. Her face red as she avoided his face not wanting him to see. Natsu just chuckled at the blonde as he talked about the fateful day when they first met.
"It all started when I went into the town looking for Igneel!" He started to explain as he looked up at the night sky.
"Why? Why were you searching for Igneel! Even that long ago? Why are you still searching for him?" Lucy hissed trying to hold in her anger.
"Luce, I am not out to hurt him! It's that…you know how I am a fire dragonslayer?"
"Yeah. You got you're powers from a foster parent who is dragon…" Lucy's eyes instantly widen in shock as she stared at Natsu who just chuckled softly. His Onyx gleamed at her as he looked at her knowingly. "Your….him.." Lucy said in shock.
"Him?"
"When I was with Igneel he would always talk about a boy that he saw as his own son. He would talk about him with love in his face as he told me what they did in the past together. Igneel would always say that he regretted leaving him without saying goodbye." Lucy spoke then turned to Natsu. She gasped in shock as she saw a tear go down his eyes. Natsu quickly wiped them and looked at Lucy smiling.
"Thank you, Lucy! I am glad to know that he at least thought of me." Lucy just nodded at him looking at him with worry. He was so desperate to see Igneel when she first met him. At first she thought it was because he wanted to hurt Igneel, but if she knew that he was the boy that Igneel always talked about she would have taken him to Igneel immediately. If only she knew. She would have taken him to him.
"I am sorry, Natsu! If I knew at that time I would have taken him to you!" Lucy quickly apologized, but Natsu just waved it off.
"I understand why you can't! To tell you the truth I would have refused to if I were you!" Natsu said. Lucy looked at his smiling face in wonder. If it was her she wouldn't smile for that. "Now where was I….Oh Yeah! So I went into town to look for Igneel…."
Lucy looked at Natsu as she continued to listen on how they first met. He laughed as he told her that she treated him and Happy to food for breaking her out of a love spell with a fake salamander. He told her that the fake salamander tricked her to go on a ship that takes women to be slaves. Natsu explained how he landed on the ship angry to get the fake salamander for using the Fairy Tail name. Lucy listened as he talked about his motion sickness and how she helped him using Aquarius to get to land. Then his fight with the fake Salamander and how he took her with him to Fairy Tail as they ran away from the Magic councils troops happily.
"And that's how we meet and I got you to Fairy Tail. You were always so fascinated by the guild. You acted as if it was a dream come true when you got there." Natsu finished as he looked up at the sky happily. He looked as if he was going back to that time in his head. He looked at peace.
"What about before I met you? Do I have a family?" Lucy asked curiously. Natsu sighed as he looked at her.
"I don't think telling you about them is good! I don't want you to remember the bad memories."
"Please Natsu! I need to know! Maybe they are waiting for me!" Lucy begged as she stared into his dark eyes pleadingly.
"Trust me they are not." Natsu said sadly knowing the truth as to why. He didn't want to sadden the blonde goddess with the horrible memories of the past.
"Why not? Come on, Natsu! Please tell me!"
"Your mother died when you were a young girl. After that your father ignored you focusing more on his business and making you the perfect candidate for a bride of a arrange marriage. He never paid any mind to you at all. You ran away from home when you were 16 years old not being able to take it anymore. Then we found each other and I took you to our home of Fairy Tail. While you were in Fairy Tail you always wrote letters to your mom telling her about your adventures, but you never sent them. You just kept them neatly in a box in your room."
"Where is the box now?" Lucy breathed out emotionless as she tried to take this in. Natsu looked at her with room.
"At the top of your closet under the blankets. Lucy?" He said in worry as he went to grab her hand. Lucy just moved her hand away not letting him touch it. Not wanting him to comfort her.
"Keep going! I am fine!" She said avoiding hid gaze.
"Ok?" Natsu sighed, but the continued to talk. He told her about the Phantom attack. About how after the war with the Phantom guild they thought she ran back to her house. They ran to her house to get her, but it turned out she wanted to tell her father to back off. Then how her father lost everything a few months later and had the decency to ask Lucy for money. Lucy listened to him as he said that her and her father made up when she thought he was in danger and he went to save her. A tear went down Lucy's eyes as Natsu told her that her father always send her letters and girts on her birthdays even though she disappear. Her expression turned serious as she tried to keep in her tears even when Natsu told her that her father died a year ago due to a disease that he knew for a long time, but didn't want to say anything. Silent slipped down her cheeks as Natsu stared at her in silence.
"And what happened to me?" Lucy asked looking at the dragonslayer with a serious expression. Natsu stood up silently as he went to walk away.
"You're not ready for that!" He spoke as he walked away. Lucy looked at Natsu's back in anger and immediately jumped up and ran to him. She pulled the back of his vest making him to stop and face her. Her honey brown eyes looking at him in anger.
"YOU'RE NEVER PLANNING TO TELL ME ARE YOU!" She yelled in anger as she glared at him.
"No!" Natsu simply said firmly as if it was final. This made the blonde woman more angry.
"WHY! I CAN HANDLE IT! I NEED TO KNOW THIS!"
"NO! IS NO, LUCY! WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT I AM PROTECTING YOU FROM THE HORRIBLE PAIN." Natsu yelled at her. He stomped away from the shocked blonde.
"ASSHOLE! I NEVER ASKED FOR YOU TO PROTECT ME! I HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW! YOU DON'T NEED TO PROTECT ME! TELL ME ONE GOOD REASON AS TO WHY I CAN'T KNOW!" Lucy yelled as loud as she can knowing that he heard her. Natsu stopped at the bottom of the hill and looked down at the ground.
"Baka, why don't you understand that I am protecting you because I love you! I won't be able to handle you to be overwhelmed by the pain of that!" Natsu muttered sadly as he walked away from her. From telling her the pain. His body faded away from Lucy's line of vision.
"Why won't you tell me?" Lucy dropped to her knees as tears came continuously down her face. "It's not fair. Why can't I remember? WHY CAN'T I REMEMNER MY MOM AND DAD? WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER FAIRY TAIL? WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER MY PAST? WHY? WHY?" Lucy cried as she pounded the ground. She cried until there were no more tears left in her. She cried for the loss of her parents. The loss of not being near Igneel anymore. The loss of her memories. And when she finally stopped she stood up and looked towards the sky. Her determination coming back. She fisted her hands tightly. "I will find out!"
****************************Don't say Goodbye*****************************************
The next morning the guild was peaceful as everyone talked happily. Everyone was in high spirits.
"Hey Natsu!" Gray yelled getting the dragonslayers attention away from his conversation with Elfman and Gajeel.
"Yeah?" Natsu said facing the ice mage looking at him curiously.
"Erza wants to go on a mission with the old team! All of us together!" Gray spoke making the guild go silent.
"Fairy Tail's strongest team is coming together again!" Someone excited as the guild exploded in joy. They haven't seen team Natsu come together for years now.
Natsu laughed along with everyone as he said yeah to Gray. Natsu agreed to get Lucy, but just as he was about to get up to head out the doors of the guild slammed open revealing the said blonde. She stood there like a warrior looking in the guild with scanning eyes. Her heels clanked against the ground as she walked in. Everyone instantly quieted wondering what was wrong with the determined blonde. She stood a few feet away from Natsu just staring at him angrily. She looked like a warrior goddess in her dark blue skinny jeans, tight pink tank top, black leather jacket, and her scarf that Igneel gave her tied on her hair holding the long blonde locks in a ponytail.
"Tell me what happened to me!" She spoke in authority her eyes not leaving his.
"No! I already told you!" Natsu spoke up annoyed that she is asking again. Lucy smirked at him.
"Then fight me!" She said shocking everyone in the guild. "If I win you have to tell me! If I lose I will never ask again and let it be!"
Master sighed knowing this was going to happen. He knew there will be nothing to stop the blonde. He also knows she means no serious harm either.
Natsu looked at her in shock. Is she serious? He studied her noticing her determined face. She looked at him with a fierce gaze.
"No! I am not going to fight you! Now drop it!" He said as he walked away.
Lucy narrowed her eyes at him. Her body glowing yellow as all the object in the guild glowed and floated in the air. Everyone gasped in shock as chairs, tables, cups, books, and everything went in the air. Lucy extended her hand out and sent a yellow ball of light towards Natsu. Then the energy ball hit him he immediately fell to the floor in pain. He turned his head towards the blonde in shock. Lucy smiled looking at him as her hair flew gracefully everywhere. Her eyes glowing yellow just like her body.
"Fight me!" She said determined as she looked at him.
Omg! Lucy is going to fight Natsu!
