By the time they got there he had lost a lot of blood. Lucy had one of his arms around her, why did he want to go here? She thought.
"Ha look what the cat drug in?" a voice said from the building.
"He's seriously injured, he told me to take him here." Lucy said feeling a little aggravated by the statement.
"Erza, come here." The voice said.
A tall red head came out of the building. "What the idiot do this time?" she asked.
"I-…I'm not an idiot." Salamander sputtered surprising Lucy. He's still conscious. Lucy thought.
"Come in you can leave Natsu on the porch." Erza said.
"But is he going to be alright?" Lucy asked worried.
"He'll be fine." The voice from before said. "Anyways I'm Gray Fullbuster."
"Lucy Heartfilia." Lucy replied.
"Hey, Doc, Natsu's on the porch." Gray yelled.
A little girl about half of Lucy's size walked out the door dragging Natsu inside. "Good Lord, Natsu, how much do you weigh?" The little girl said as she struggled.
"Wendy, do you need help?" A lady from the bar asked.
"No, Cana, I doubt you can help at your state right now." Wendy replied closing the door to the room Lucy assumed to be the doctor's room. Wendy walked out of the room closing the door behind her. "Alright whose willing to hold him down this time?" the room was silent as the little girl awaited an answer. Everyone looked at Lucy who had bravely stepped forward not knowing why everyone didn't want to help his or her friend. Lucy walked into the room and saw Natsu his eyes barely open. "Wow I don't even know and she's the only one willing to help me, I guess I can understand." Natsu laughed painfully.
"You're going to remove the bullet while he's conscious?" Lucy yelled.
"Not exactly I'll be drunk." He smiled taking a drink of the whisky next to him, until Wendy smacked him.
"The last person we need drunk is you!" She scolded picking up a sharp object and dug it into him. He moaned a little, but he didn't cry or scream. Why was everyone so afraid? Lucy thought as she noticed scars from previous wounds.
Then Wendy dug into the wound trying to find the bullet. "Got it!" she said. "Natsu, you are the fastest gunslinger, but you always manage to come out with a battle scar." Wendy asked wrapping gauze around his wound. Natsu didn't answer; he just stared out the window. As soon as Wendy finished he hopped up and put his shirt back on and walked out. Lucy went to stop him but Erza grabbed her, "I know you want to thank him, but that will have to wait." She said.
"Why?" Lucy asked.
"Natsu said you needed a job and he told us that your not a whore so since no one here is willing to sing you can." Erza smiled pushing Lucy onto the stage.
A very short man walked out onto the stage before Lucy had the chance to speak. "Go home you bums, do you know how late it is?" He yelled.
"But, Lucy, was about to sing a song, Makarov." A person from the crowd yelled.
"Well that will have to wait till tomorrow." Makarov said jumping off the stage. Lucy was relieved. After everyone left or was to drunk to leave Wendy walked up to Lucy. "Head down the road from here you'll hear him playing his guitar," Wendy said, "Take Carla she's the white horse out front."
"Thank you, Wendy." Lucy smiled walking out of the building.
Lucy didn't know where was but she heard a distant strum of a guitar and singing. I'm getting close Lucy smiled to herself. As she got closer she felt a very depressing feeling coming from the music. She was close enough to walk so she tied Carla to a post at a building.
Natsu heard footsteps behind him and went for his gun and whipped around pointing it at Lucy. "Don't do that you could have been killed." Natsu said laying back down.
"Sorry I didn't know you would pull your gun on me like that!" Lucy yelled.
"Come sit down." He said blowing off the subject.
"Thanks." Lucy whispered sitting down beside him.
"For what?" He asked as he turned over pulling his blanket over him.
"I feel like it was my fault that you got hurt and then you go and get me a job." Lucy went on about his deeds.
"It's not your fault I was the one goofing off and put your life at risk and I got you a job because I wanted to apologize, but I don't do apologies." Natsu yawned.
Lucy stood up dusting herself off amazed that he pointed out that he was at fault too. "Bye, see you sometime else." Lucy waved goodbye as she made her way back to Carla. Lucy was riding her way back to Fairy Tail when she was struck from behind and knocked out.
