Chapter 7
"Lucy, I want to thank you again for doing this. You are truly a brave girl." Igneel said. "It was my pleasure to do it." Lucy smiled. "Thanks Luce!" Natsu hugged her. Lucy giggled and hugged back. Wendy smiled and hugged her. "Thanks Lu-chan." Wendy said. "No problem Wendy." Lucy smiled. "Lu…..I'm…back…" A voice coughed. "What?" Lucy turned around. "It took all of my magic energy…but I made it out…and I'm back to…kill you instead…of make you join…us…" The voice coughed. "L-L-Levy!" Lucy yelled in shock. "You bet it." Levy laughed. Lucy ran and jumped into Gajeel's arms. A green light shines around her switching her into Sagittarius's form. "It's ok Bunny, I have you." Gajeel whispered. "She's more powerful now and I don't think I can beat her again." Lucy started to cry. "Do you remember what I told you nine years ago?" Gajeel asked. "No, what did you say?" She asked. "Remember my old friend, Shiku, and how she was an assassin as well. I can call her and get her here." He said Lucy nodded. Lucy called out Columbia and called Shiku. "Hey Shiku." Gajeel said. "Hey Gajeel, long time no talk." Shiku laughed. "Yea, how fast can you get to Magnolia?" He asked. " I'm actually on my way there." She said. "We need you to come to the Fairy Tail guild as soon as you get here." He said. "What's wrong?" She asked. "Let's just say it's Legendary." Gajeel said. "Oh ok I will get there soon." She said. "Kay." Gajeel said as the field cut out. Gajeel set down Lucy. "Go to the train station and meet Shiku there. I will hold off Levy." He whispered. "How do I know what she looks like?" She asked. "She has long black hair with blue and green highlights." He said. She nodded and ran off. "Is Lucky Lu scared?" She teased. Lucy ignore it and kept running. Levy started to run after her but Gajeel stopped her. "You won't touch her as long as I'm alive." Gajeel said. "I can arrange that." Levy said pulling out her katana. "I'd Like to see you try!" Gajeel yelled and he punched the girls. Natsu and Wendy ran over to Gajeel. "No one will hurt Luce!" Natsu yelled.
-At the train station-
"Where is the Fairy Tail guild?" Shiku asked herself. A blonde haired mage ran up to her. "Are you Shiku?" She asked. "Yea, and you are." Shiku replied. "Oh sorry, I'm Lucy or you probably know me as Lucy Lu. I am Gajeel's girlfriend and we need you to come help us with Lev." Lucy explained. "Then Let's go!" Shiku started to run off. "So you even know where you are going?" Lucy asked. "All I know is that I need to go to the Fairy Tail guild." She said. "I need to know if you have a katana." Lucy said. "I never leave home without it." Shiku said. Lucy caught up with Shiku. "Legendary Lev is after me and I have sent her away with my katana before and she managed to get out. She is a little angry and Gajeel has been holding her off." Lucy explained. "Ok, I've fought her before. If you don't remember, we are the top two assassins in the Fiore Lucy." Shiku said. "Really, you are Shi Slaughter?" Lucy asked. "Yes, but I don't do any work anymore." Shiku said. "Me either." Lucy said. The two ex-assassins reached the field. "There she is." Lucy said. Shiku turned around and looked at Levy. "Oh, look who it is, Shi Slaughter. Did Lucky get scared and call up Shi?" Levy teased. "Maybe she did and I came. I just need you to leave everyone alone and enjoy the rest of your little life." Shiku said. "Looks like you are trying to make decisions for me. I need you to leave, it's our fight not yours." Levy said. "If it in involves friend then it is my fight." Shiku said. "Fine, comes at me!" Levy yelled. Shiku pulled out her katana and charged at Levy. Lucy looked around and saw Gajeel on the ground. She ran over to him. "Gajeel, are you ok?" Lucy asked. "Yea, I'm a little beat. She put up a fight." Gajeel said. "You sure your ok?" She asked. "Yup." He said. "Good, cause I'm about to go beat that blue jerk like there is no tomorrow." Lucy laughed. "Don't get hurt." He said. "LUCY! CAN I HAVE SOME HELP OVER HERE!"Shiku yelled. "Comin!" Lucy ran over there and pulled out her katana. "You will regret this Lucky. I will always be trying to ki-"Levy stopped as a katana stabbed her in her stomach. "I really hate doing this Levy."Lucy cried. "I…..hate…..you." Levy croaked out. "Same here." Shiku said. Lucy pulled out her katana and Levy dropped to the ground. Levy started to cough up blood and she slowly, but painfully died. Lucy dropped down to her knees and cried. Shiku dropped her katana and kneeled by the sobbing mage. "You did what you had to do." Shiku whispered. "I know, but I don't know if I can live with this anymore." Lucy said. "Live with what?" Shiku asked. "Killing countless people that didn't do anything to me." Lucy hugged Shiku and sobbed into her shoulder. "Well, this is what we all have to live with as assassins. It's what we signed up for when we decided to do it." Shiku said. "I'm so sorry for dragging you into this." Lucy whispered. A pink light shined around the blonde mage. She switched into Virgo's takeover. A golden light shined near her. "What's wrong, princess?" Leo asked. "Don't worry about it Loke." Lucy mumbled. "I will. You are my namaka and my master. Also you only call me by Loke when something is wrong." Leo said. Lucy looked up and hugged Leo. "I killed her. I didn't want to but I had to." She mumbled. "All of us knew that this would happen. Surprisingly, Aquarius was even worried about you." Leo chuckled. "I find that hard to believe." Lucy smiled. "It is true. Summon her here and she'll prove it." Leo said. "Alright. But I don't have any water." Lucy said. "I'll go get Juvia." Wendy offered. "Yea, I don't think Aquarius will like how she is summoned but that will do." Lucy giggled. Andy nodded and ran to go get Juvia. "Is everything ok?" Juvia asked. "Yea, just make a puddle real quick." Lucy said. Juvia madder and made a puddle. Lucy grabbed Aquarius's key. "Open, gate of the water barrier,Aquarius!" Lucy said. A blue light shined. The spirit hugged Lucy. "I'm so glad your safe!" She said. "I guess Leo was right." Lucy giggled as she hugged back. "Now, if you don't mind. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A DATE! You'll understand when you get a boyfriend." Aquarius said. "Hehe, I guess Leo didn't tell you. I have a boyfriend." Lucy giggled. Aquarius stopped. "Who?" She asked. "Guess." Levy said. "Flame idiot?" She asked. "Oi!" Natsu yelled. "I'll take that as a no." She laughed. "Your kinda right in the magic zone." Lucy said. "Dragon slayer, that means Metal head." She said. "She's gunna call me by that nickname to?" Gajeel groaned. "Bye, glad to see you wont be alone forever Lucy." Aquarius said as she disappeared. "I took offense to that." Lucy pouted. "At least you feel better, Bunny." Gajeel said. Gajeel got up and walked over to her. "Yea, it's good to see that even the angered spirit cared for me." Lucy smiled as she leaned on Gajeel. "We all do Luce." Natsu said. She smiled and hugged all of her friends. "We should head back down to the guild." Makarov said. "Yea." Lucy mumbled as she walked down the hill. Everyone else followed her except for the dragons who stayed and talked. "That girl has some past if she is like this." Grandeeny said. "I wander what her last name is." Igneel said. "I'm just glad my anti-social son has someone to call his." Metallicana said.
-At the guild-
"Hey guys!" Cana waved. "Hey Cana." Lucy waved back. Gajeel and Lucy sat down at the bar. "Hey Lucy, do you want your milkshake?" Mira asked. "Hey Mira-nee and yea." Lucy said. Mira nodded and turned to make the milkshake. "What's wrong Lucy?" Mira asked. "Don't worry about it Mira-nee" Lucy smiled and she took a sip from her milkshake. "Alright." Mira sighed. The guild went back to being rowdy and fighting. The guild turned toward the door. "H-Hi." Shiku said. "Who are you?" Max asked. "I'm Shiku Romereo." She said. "Come over here Shiku!" Lucy yelled. Shiku nodded and walked over to her. "Thanks again Shiku." Lucy said. "I'm just helpin a friend out." She said. "Hey Shiku." Gajeel said. "Hey Gajeel, I missed you."Shiku hugged him. "Missed you to." Gajeel said. "I'm glad I got to see you again, but I have to go." Shiku said. "I'm glad I met you and I hop I see you again." Lucy said. "Me to." Shiku waved and left the guild. "She seems nice." Mira said. "She was a childhood friend that I've kept in contact with." Gajeel said. "So, you three know each other." Mira said. "No, I just met her today. Like we said a while back he saved me and that's how we met. He met her after me and we never met." Lucy said. "Oh ok." Mira said. The guild doors opened again. "Lady Heartfellia." A mans voice said. Lucy turned around and walked up to the man. "Why are you here?" Lucy asked. "Lady Heartfellia, your father wants you to come home." He said. "I'm not going back and you know this." Lucy said. "I'm sorry Lady Heartfellia, he won't take no for an answer." He said. "Well, will he take never for an answer." Lucy said sarcastically. "I'm sorry." He put his hand on her neck and knocked her out. "Leave Luce alone!" Natsu yelled. Gajeel walked up to Natsu, who was walking up to the man. "Natsu, just let her go. She will come back. She would never stay with her father." Gajeel said. Natsu looked down as the man walked away with Lucy in his arms.
-At the mansion-
"Sir, I have Lady Heartfellia here." The man said. "Let me go!" Lucy yelled. "Come in." Jude said. The man carried Lucy into Jude's office. "Let me go! I don't want to be here! I want to be with Gajeel!" Lucy yelled. "Gajeel? I thought I sent his family away." Jude said. "You made him go away! And you knew how much he meant to me! That is just another reason to leave and never come back!" Lucy yelled and tried to leave the room but got stopped. "You will not leave. Lady Heartfellia." The man said. "I sent Gajeel away because he distracted you! I want you to be the heiress for our company!" Jude yelled. "Try all you want because I will never stay here!" Lucy yelled.
-At the guild-
"Lucy should have been back by now." Gajeel said. "The let's go get her." Natsu said. Gajeel nodded and ran out of the guild. Natsu, Gray, Wendy, Erza, and the exceeds a few minutes they reached the Heartfellia manor."This town it all quiet." Natal said. "This isn't a town, this is apart of the Heartfellia manor. We played hide and seek in here." Gajeel said.
-Inside the manor-
"I don't want to be here!" Lucy yelled. "You will stay here and take over the company!" Jude yelled. The office door bursted open. "Gajeel!" Lucy yelled and jumped on Gajeel. "You need to wrap this up or dad will worry and fly his butt over here." Gajeel joked. She smiled and kissed him. "Thank you guys for coming." She said. "We all would come for you Luce." Nasty said. "I'm glad I have good friends like you." Lucy said. "Lucy, you will stay at this mansion if I have to keep you in a cell!" Jude yelled. "I will never stay here! I have friends who care for me unlike you." Lucy said. "I have cared for you." Jude said. "So, you sent away my only friend for me to focus on taking over the business. Like how you didn't care if I left." Lucy said. "Lucy Heartfellia, if you think that you are leaving again then you think wrong." Jude said. "I'm leaving and you are never going to get me here again. I have better people to be with now."Lucy said. She grabbed Gajeel's hand and ran out. "Wait up Luce!" Natsu yelled. The other Fairy Tail members ran after her.
