Chapter 3

The job they took takes 2 hours for travel. Natsu was passed out and was lying on Lisanna's lap while Lisanna was fiddling with Natsu's hair and giggling at his passed out face. Lucy was sighing at the sight before her. Gray tried to tease Lucy in order to avert her attention from them. Unbeknownst to them Natsu regain consciousness and witnessed a scene where Gray smiling at Lucy who rambled on about books and her spirits with a tint of pink on her face and a glint in her eyes. Natsu felt a surge of pain in his chest.

"What's wrong Natsu?" Lisanna asked worry evident in her face

"Me-che-hutz," Natsu grumbled

"Are you in pain?" Lisanna asked because she didn't understand Natsu

"Me-….ne-mind," Natsu looked at Lisanna when the pain he felt suddenly left

2 hours later

"Woohooo! I'm revived!" Natsu jumped for joy and ran outside along with Happy

"Erza, what is our job exactly?" Lucy asked in confusion for they arrived in a village abandoned by humans and towered by mountains.

"We are here to eliminate a huge creature that has been lurking in the mountains, it seems that the leave for their safety," Erza said nodding her head as she remembered the job description

"Happy saw the creature, it's a few miles from here," Natsu said returning to the group

"Happy, how far?" Erza asked looking at Happy

"I'd say about an hour for travel," Happy estimated the distance between them and the creature

"Then let's get going, Happy lead the way," Erza followed Happy into the forest. Lucy sighed and followed Erza from behind worried about her hygiene.

"Don't worry Lucy, I'm sure we'll find a river soon," Lisanna said as if reading her mind and linked their arms together

"I sure hope so," Lucy smiled and thought at the same time 'this is awkward, well for me not her," After a few moments of endless walking they finally found a river.

"Finally!" Lucy said exasperated

"Everyone! Would you mind if we'd stop for awhile?" Lucy asked with pleading eyes

"It's okay we have been travelling for quite some time now we'll rest for awhile," Erza said stopping with a sparkle in her eye. Lucy went to riverside and and started to strip

"I feel uneasy," Lucy said as she looked around and submerged herself in the water

"Don't worry I'll look out for you," Lisanna gave her a thumbs up

"Thanks," Lucy replied with relief. Lucy stood up, her upper body exposed. On the other side of the river a bush was moving slowly "I guess it's some kind of small creature," Lucy laughed. The bush moved violently this time tempting Lucy to pick up a rock "Whoever or whatever you are I know you are there," Lucy held the rock up high "I'm not afraid to throw this rock," The bush became more violent and came a tangled Natsu, who fell downward, and looked at the half naked Lucy. Silence fell upon them

"Kyah!" Lucy dropped the rock, submerged herself, and threw pebbles at Natsu

"Oi, Calm down," Natsu said, being tangled and getting hit at the same time did not help so he just burned down the vines that was tangling him and rushed towards the raging Lucy holding her wrists "Would you calm down, besides wha-" Natsu looked at Lucy then downward then at Lucy again blushing

"Natsu!" Lucy screamed and freed herself from his grip punching him in the process "Baka!" and punched him again "Baka, baka, baka, baka, baka!" She fumed and walked past Natsu "Don't you dare look! Get me my towel," She commanded with a blush on her face

"It's not like I sa-" Natsu looked back at Lucy whose eyes turned red "F-fine, I'll get your towel" Natsu sighed and went ashore

"N-natsu.."Lucy called "Natsu!" she screamed

"What?" Natsu looked back and saw fire across them "How did that happ-, wait don't tell me," He then remembered that he burned the vines but didn't expect that it would reach the bushes

"Don't just stand there, do something!" Lucy panicked

"You know I can't eat my own fire," Natsu also started to panic

"What are we- Natsu! Give me my keys!" Lucy yelled at Natsu

"Here," Natsu threw her keys at her

"Gate of the Water Bearer, I open thee 'Aquarius'!" Lucy summoned "Aquarius stop the fire," she commanded

"Whaaaatt?" Aquarius snarled

"P-please?" Lucy sensed her deadly aura

"Tch! Girls with no boyfriends are so desperate," Aquarius smirked "Hhyaah!" she controlled the water and washed the fire away along with Lucy

"Can't you tell the difference between me and the red blazing fire?" Lucy screamed as she grab hold of a huge rock that stooped her from going with the flow

"Don't summon me for awhile since I have a date with my boyfriend, with my boyfriend," Aquarius said as she vanished into thin air

"No need to repeat that!" Lucy yelled

"Are you ok?" Natsu appeared with a towel on his hand "Here," he handed the towel

Lucy grabbed the towel behind the rock and mumbled 'thanks'. Lucy wrapped herself, got her clothes, went ashore and stared at Natsu

Natsu looked at her "What? Want me to dress you-" he was punched in the face "Fine, fine I'll turn around," He turned around and closed his eyes, after awhile he looked at his back only to find no one "What the?" he noticed someone behind him and saw Lucy blushing looking at him

"I knew you'd peek," she fumed

"I-I wasn't peeking, I was just checking," Natsu stammered and looked away blushing

"Here," Lucy gave him a handkerchief "cover your eyes with this,"

"What?" bewildered Natsu gave her a look

"Sit down," Lucy grabbed him forcing him to sit "This should keep you from looking at me," she tied the handkerchief around his eyes

Natsu leaned forward with only an inch between them "But I could still smell you," he murmured "Never underestimate the nose of a dragon slayer," he retreated leaving a blushing Lucy

"W-whatever you idiot," Lucy stuttered and went away to change her clothes

"Natsu, I'm done. You can take it off now," Lucy said walking up to him

"Should I burn this?" Natsu asked

"Baka! I'll take it off if you want," Lucy rolled her eyes

"Then take it off," Natsu stood up "If you can," he challenged

Since Natsu was taller than Lucy she has to tip toe in order for her to reach him "You think I can't? I'll show you-"she lost her balance and was falling towards ground away from Natsu "Kyaah!" she screamed and closed her waiting for the impact. Lucky for her she was able to untie the knot before she lost her balance that shocked Natsu who had a reflex to catch her.

Lisanna came to check up on Lucy, when she arrived she found a blushing Lucy in the arms of Natsu.
