Hey thanks to those who read, favorited, and reviewed the first chapter. I had some left over and was able to finish this chapter quickly so here you go! 3 3 3

Lucy felt like she was going to vomit. Wounds in her stomach and neck release blood everywhere around her. She hadn't known Lisanna as well as others but she was still her friend. Yes both her and Natsu have had there fair share of murders in this industry. But those were usually faceless victims no way connected to either of them. Lisanna was someone Natsu grew up with, they had grown apart but they did still know they could go to each other.

Natsu was shaky, but he remained tall refusing to weaken over the sight of... a victim. Lucy stepped back returning next to Natsu from the few steps ahead she had been. They stood for a moment before Natsu finally let go of wrist and took hold of her hand. Her thin fingers wrapping around his palm. They tried to gain there composure before separating, Natsu going to talk to the officers. Lucy going to talk to the victims family Mirajane. She figured Mira's brother Elfman would be arriving or would hear of it and have to speak to her sooner or later.

Lucy saw Mira on the ground her hands tearing at the grass. Erza one of the officers of the city was holding Mira's shoulder. Gray another officer (of lower ranks than Erza) was sitting next to her. Erza made contact with Lucy informing that Gray and her should leave it to Lucy. With a simple hand motion Gray and Erza exited to talk to other officers.

"Mira?" Lucy squeaked. Afraid of what she would have to say next, or how either of them would react even more so than they already had. Mira stayed quiet, sobbing to herself. Lucy seating herself on her knee's not caring about the grass stains on her red skirt. "I should be telling you not to cry. That she is in a better place. She is, but. When I'm forcing myself to hold back my tears..." Lucy's voice became more horse and uncertain as she continued. "We will solve this Mira. We will let your sister rest. No matter how long it takes I can promise you that we will solve this." Another moment passed of only police sirens echoing around them when Mira's pale eyes looked up.

"Then cry." She gave a small smile. Lucy smiled before the tears erupted from her causing her and Mira to hold each other. They were left with Lucy murmuring untranslatable sobs about how sorry she was.

Natsu stood staring at her body. She wore a short dress a little shorter than thigh length, it was a tacky silver color but her blood had stain the majority of it and the gash in the center caused the fabric to stretch. Her eyes were dead. Nothing. Just a blank grey stare from her once happy, life field eyes. He kept swallowing, trying to figure out why. His mind went through a billion scenarios but Lisanna was loved. Never hated. She spread smiles and constantly helped those even if it caused her pain.

Once she even shoved her brother out of the way of a car causing her to be in the hospital for a couple months. How could some one kill her. "But it could have been a what?" He hated thinking like this. Trying to be realistic about the death of someone he should be mourning over not solving.

A small man with white hair sprouting around his head and a mustache to match walked towards the pink haired man. He wore a black suit with a white dress shirt. How it managed to fit the peculiarly tiny man was odd but besides the point.

"Natsu." He murmured as he stepped besides the sheriff. His eyes closed as he sat native american style. Natsu didn't speak but reply with a gruff sound coming from the back of his throat. "I'm sorry that you have to do this." No reply. "But we know you're the best. And you knowing her could help us solve this. But if you don't want to I'm sure Erza and her squad can solve thi-"

"No." Natsu snarled. "I will get fucking revenge for her. I want who or whatever that did this to her to burn in hell. For me, for you, for lucy, god for Mira." He was silent "For Elfman. All of us, everyone loved her." Makarov simply nodded.

"If you have any problems with this just call my office."

"Yes Mayor." Makarov then walked away. An officer walked over a body bag going over her blank, color-less, face. He gulped as they zipped up the bag but before so Gray, the black haired officer closed her eyes and allowed his fellow officers to continue their work.

Gray walked up to Natsu. Even though they always fought Gray had to have been his closest friend. The two men had known each other for a long time, on the first day Natsu showed up alone in the town they met. Constant bickering was caused between the two, often even fist fights but they knew when to be serious with one another (most of the time that is).

"Hey." Gray stood next to him, hand in his pocket as he pulled a cigarette groom the pack. He waved the tan and white stick in front of Natsu, him lighting a flame to start the smoking. The sheriff didn't react at his greeting, but after a few moments and the blowing of smoke from gray's mouth, he spoke again. "I'm sorry. I know you knew her better than me. But it's a true shame." He repeated the action with his cigarette, golden dust flying off of the stick. Still no reply. "A true shame." He repeated.

"I know I seem like a dick for not talkin'. But I just... I'm trying to figure out how, or at least why someone did this to her." He squatted down, his arms lying over his knee's as he pulled out his own pack of cigarettes. He pointed one finger a small blaze lighting one of the cancer sticks. He didn't smoke, like usual but stared at it. dawdling it between his middle finger and thumb as he stared up at the smoke line cause by the two. They stayed like that for a moment before Gray dropped his cigarette onto the sidewalk crushing it with his foot.

"See ya." And with that, their short conversation was over. Natsu stood up mimicking Gray's actions with the cigarette, before heading over to Mirajane and Lucy who sat awkwardly against each other in the grass. He needed to talk about... the body, but wanted to put that back as long as he could. He kneeled down next to Mirajane, bowing his head.

"I'm sorry for your loss." She nodded at his comment. Her eyes were red and puffy, she wore a dress similar to that of her sister. Short, fitted, but hers was in black instead of silvery purple. Natsu stood up extending a hand to Mirajane, which she kindly rejected. He then moved and repeated the extensive hand but this time towards Lucy. She took it, trying to get up out of the grass when she wore both heels and a skirt. They both bowed their heads towards Mira before walking away to talk in private.

"Figure anything out yet?"

"I think I'm gonna save it for tomorrow. I really... I just don't want to think about it right now." Natsu rubbed the back of his head. It was a wierd concept. Having to, find the murderer of such a close person.

"Want me to drive you home..." She asked, crossing her arms. Her head was aching, from all the crying, yelling, and police sirens. "Actually." She awkwardly stood before finishing her sentence. "Could you take up my offer from earlier. You know staying at my place. I really don't want to be in an empty house now." She started blushing, her cheeks blending into her red eyes. The fire mage gave a small smile, his eyes full of pain, raising a hand he messed up his hair. She returned the small smile.

"I think I'd rather not be in a house alone either." He turned to look around. "I'm gonna go talk to some of the other officers, get some information then we can head out."
