Chapter 12: We missed you!
Previously:
"Lucy..." I sighed allowing the tears to drop freely to the ground. Suddenly the guild's door was kicked wide open revealing 2 cloaked figures.
Mira's P.O.V
The hooded figures entered the guild slowly and cautiously while the rest of the guild members readied themselves in a fighting stance. The smaller figure advanced in front of the taller one as if trying to protect the person.
"Where is your master?!" Her voice was feminine and just like a peal of bells but there was a sense of sharpness from the tone of her voice. I spoke up first hoping to stop a battle from breaking out. Who knows what Natsu would have done if I hadn't intervened but fortunately Erza, Gray, Natsu and Happy were on a mission, their group is now called team Lucy, probably in memory of the beloved celestial mage...
"Why do you need him?!" I asked firmly not betraying the nervous feeling bubbling inside of me.
"You don't need to know, it is none of your business." The taller one spoke in a gruff voice that was all too familiar though I couldn't quite put my finger as to who it was.
"We do need to know! He is our master and whether you like it or not we won't tell you where he is until you state the reason of your visit!" I stood my ground while the other members were becoming impatient.
"We...just need to speak to him about your little Celestial spirit mage's disappearance." At this everyone seemed to enter into a state of depression while a cold feeling stabbed my heart.
"What are you going to talk about?" I asked them curiously.
"Enough questions just tell us where he is!" The taller one advanced closer to me but the hooded girl stopped him.
"As you can see my friend here has become impatient. Now please tell us where he is before this resorts to a more...physical approach..." My hands curled into a fist. Who are they to even challenge us?!
"Fine you want a battle?! We'll give you a battle!" Gajeel shouted at them and before I could even utter a single sentence. "Iron dragon's sword!" He leaped from his table and descended towards the girl. Something told me to stop him but before I could the girl attacked.
"Belcusas the thunderclap!" Her voice was hardly a shout but it was loud enough for all of the Fairy Tail members to hear it. A monstrous creature appeared before us and slapped Gajeel's attack as well Gajeel away as if he was just a mere fly. I then heard Elfman's and Evergreen's shouts of surprise.
"Belcusas! That's the monster me and Evergreen fought! Don't tell me she uses Arc of Embodiment!" As if sensing it's name being called Belcusas looked over to Elfman.
"Belcusas that enough for now please return!" The beast disintegrated into a million pieces while the girl just stood there as emotionless as ever.
"I see you've caused a lot of ruckus just to see me...very well come in!" Master suddenly appeared right beside me and motioned the two strangers to follow him in spite of the guild members shouts of fury.
"But master! They're the enemy!" He raised his hand to silence the members and just like that the door closed in his office, the whole guild went deathly silent trying to hear what they were discussing.
Lucy's P.O.V
The door closed behind us the room going quiet once it had. I cast a sound-proof spell around the room. I motioned Laxus to take off his cloak and he did so, I took mines off and smiled warmly at master. My hair had grown up to my waist still keeping its blonde colour. I never really wanted to hide my identity all along and I certainly wouldn't dye my hair just for that! My sense of style had changed as well, now I wore combat boots, white dirtied shorts with the same belt that I held my keys in and a frilly yellow tank top that was partly covered by a short black leather jacket. Well I guess I haven't changed that much! Maybe a little... Master looked at both of us in surprise his tiny fatherly face soaked with tears already.
"L-Lucy... Is that you?!" I nodded while tears pricked my eyes.
"I'm the one and only Lucy master!" I grinned at him.
" I see you've gotten stronger Lucy! You do know that Fairy Tail is sorry for abandoning you right?! They've really missed you!" He said while sniffling .
"I know they didn't mean it and I still love them. I always will, I've missed them as well!" We started hugging while Laxus coughed gaining both our attention.
"It's not like I missed you too gramps." His mouth curled into a smiled at master's tear-adorned face.
"And it's not like I missed you as well you hotheaded brat!" They enveloped each other in a short but sweet hug.
"I take it you've gone stronger as well!" He asked Laxus while wiping the tears off of his face.
"Yeah but not stronger than Lucy over here!" He slid his arm over my shoulders and brought me closer while smiling like the idiot he was. Master pointed his finger at us while his expression showed his massive shock.
"He just said that you were stronger than him... He called you by your name... And he's hugging you! What has the world come to?!" At that master fainted his soul leaving his body, I panicked and shook him awake. "Is there something you're not telling me?!" He questioned both of us. I blushed and so did Laxus, never had we thought of revealing that we were mates to Master so soon.
"Well you see... A lot of things happened here and there... And we met a...bunch of...people? And well Laxusismymate!" I squeezed my eyes closed hoping he didn't get any of what I said but when I opened my eyes there he was on the floor... "He fainted again!" This time Laxus zapped him awake with a little bolt of his lightning.
"Never Sorry. I just can't believe you two are mates or as Mira calls it in a relationship. Anyway back to the point... I presume you want to rejoin Fairy Tail" I nodded enthusiastically and hugged him in joy. "Well then ask Mira to get your stamp!" We put on our cloaks and as we headed out we regained our original composure. The place looked back to normal but eyes kept following us as we casually walked over to Mira.
"We would like to get our stamps please, Mira" she nodded and ran behind the bar to get the stamper.
"Where would you like your mark?" She asked me cheerfully as if the incident that had occurred hadn't even happened. I took a deep breath and looked up at her for the very first time my chocolate brown orbs locked on to her light blue ones (remember Lucy's hood was covering her eye's so Mira didn't recognise her!). Time then seemed to slow down.
*start music please! The music is Fairy Tail's main theme slow version! I hope I'm not asking too much of you it is optional! Arigato! ^.^*
She dropped the stamper and looked at me with tears in her eyes. "L-Lucy..." The stamper clattered on the ground but she made no move to pick it up. "LUCY!" She jumped on me crushing me in a bear hug while our tears dropped on the floor making a mini sized puddle.
"MIRA!" Everyone then started to crowd around us trying to find out what had happened. At the sight of everyone I flashed them my brightest smile while tears of joy drizzled down everyone's faces.
"LUCY!" I nodded and laughed joyfully. Everyone gave me hugs as I was passed around from one person to the next.
"Lu-chan! I missed you! I'm so sorry I ignored you all those months! I promise I'll never do that again! J-just don't leave me like that!" The petite solid script mage sobbed on my shoulders. I hugged her so hard that she started to gasp for air but nevertheless she hugged me back.
"I'm back minna and I'll never leave!" At my statement everybody cheered while beer barrels were passed around and were mostly emptied by Cana.
"Wendy how have you been doing all these years?!" I crushed her in a hug while she started sobbing on my back.
"Lucy-San please don't leave again! W-we missed you so much!" I chuckled. I saw her looking at the mark on the right side of my neck and quickly decided to change her focus of attention.
"Wendy you're like my little sister, it hurt me when I left you as well as everyone!" Her tears of joy never stopped flowing while everyone around us danced, partied and celebrated my return. I felt like someone was watching me so I turned around and was surprised to see Romeo smiling at me like he hasn't done that in a long time, I flashed him my smile while he ran towards me.
"Lucy-nee!" When we hugged it felt like a brother and sister was reunited once again, the feeling bubbled at the bottom of my belly giving me a warm feeling.
"I've missed you Romeo! Is it just me or have you grown?!" He looked at me, tears pooling his eyes.
"I have grown but that's only because you've left for 3 years! Don't do that again Lucy-nee! Everybody missed you so much!" I hugged him again and started to laugh.
"I thought it was a good idea at the time and it was! I've gotten stronger!" I felt proud of myself for growing into a strong mage over a small period of 3 years.
"Oi bunny girl." I stopped hugging Romeo and looked over to the grinning Gajeel. "Fight me sometime! I need to ask you something...why didn't we recognise you and Laxus's scent earlier?! Oh and don't leave again squirts been crying her eyes out because of you!" I smiled at him and did a pretend gasp.
"Oh and that's simple I had Cancer change both our scents so that you guys wouldn't jump on us when we came in!...I never knew the mighty Gajeel cared about Levy-chan!" I smiled but that immediately turned into a smirk when the said dragon slayer started blushing.
"S-shut up" Gajeel looked away childishly and at that I started to laugh.
"Oi Lucy care to join me?!" Cana offered giving me a large beer barrel. I grinned at her, grabbed a nearby beer barrel and sat beside the drunkard.
Laxus's P.O.V
Wow Lucy really is popular! Everyone in Fairy Tail has missed her...that reminds me where's Natsu and the others?! Lissana's still here. Hm... Ah well it's not my problem... I was about to join Lucy and Cana in a beer drinking contest but was stopped by none other than the Thunder God Tribe.
"Laxus! You have finally returned! We the Raijinshu have been waiting patiently for your return!" Freed started crying animatedly while I had a pissed off face.
"Oh Laxus don't leave us ever again! We barely manage to cope without you!" Evergreen stated while waving her favourite fan in front of her face.
"Yo how are you doing Laxus?!" Bickslow grinned at me. "How are you doing?! How are you doing?!" His dolls chanted around me.
"Well for one thing it's good to be back!" I grinned. "Hey I need to speak to you guys... Privately..." They nodded and proceeded to drag me at the back of the guild.
"Ok Laxus it's safe for you to tell us now." Freed said while finishing off the last of his runes.
"The team is going to have another member." I stated bluntly while the rest of the team turned as pale as a ghosts, even Bickslow's dolls!
"B-but the team has always been just us 4!" Evergreen screeched.
"I know but I can't be separated from...this new team member...for a long time or else I'll feel pain so it's better to bring her along than leave her in the guild during our missions"
"Oh so it's a girl!" Bickslow smirked, "A girl! A girl! A girl!" His dolls repeated.
"We'll do whatever you like Laxus! That's how loyal we are!" Again Freed started crying animatedly...again. I grinned at them and walked back inside to be greeted with a hug by a drunk dragon slayer...
Lucy's P.O.V
I started to drink barrel after barrel as the competition continued, it was a surprise that I still wasn't sober after 6 barrels full of the beer. Suddenly a realisation hit me, where's Laxus?! "Gomen ne Cana but I'll have to stop there I need to find that idiotic lightning mage before he disappears on me!" I heard Cana's childish whine of disapproval but it was soon drowned out by the sound of her consuming another barrel full of alcohol.
I looked around the guild and was frequently stopped by a few people enveloping me in warm hugs and tearful verbal exchanges when I finally found what I was looking for. I ran over to the lightning dragon slayer and before I knew it I gave him a warm and gentle hug. "Where were you Laxus?! I was getting lonely!" I pouted childishly at him.
"Aww did you miss me babe?!" I giggled. Ok scratch that! I think I am sober! He bent down and kissed the top of my nose.
"Hehe don't call me babe out of the blue Laxus-poo!" When my usual resistance against alcohol kicked in it was already too late. I turned around to find that everyone had either fainted, turned as pale as a ghost or in Mira's case screamed her heart out.
"EHHHH!?" the whole guild excluding Mira shrieked.
"Well the cat's out of the bag now..." I awkwardly stated and by then the whole guild erupted into panic
"L-Laxus p-poo!?" A guild member shouted out loud during all the chaos, probably Jet or Droy.
"T-that's M-Man!" Elfman's shouted and ran towards us congratulating us.
"I knew you two would make a great couple!" Mira exclaimed.
Laxus's P.O.V
Oops... I forgot we weren't supposed to tell them yet... Ah well it's not like the end of the world right? I looked at the Raijinshu and again they were as pale as a ghost except Evergreen had fainted. What's up with her?!
"L-Laxus...is she...t-the new m-member?!" Fried tried to say. I nodded and blushed a little when suddenly Bickslow's started patting me on the shoulder his grin wider than usual.
"I never knew you and Cosplay Queen got together!" He grinned even wider, if that was even possible while a vein appeared on my forehead.
"Don't call her that!" I shouted at him.
"Oooh! Laxus being protective! That's a first!" I blushed.
"S-shut up!"
Lucy's P.O.V
"I didn't think you guys would take it this well!" I said while scratching my head.
"I'm happy for you Lu-chan!" Levy gave me a death hug. "Please make me your maid of honor on your wedding day!" She pleaded while I paled.
"L-levy-chan! It's too early for that!" I reasoned.
"Aww come on Lucy you're never too young for marriage! That's just an expression by the way!" She beamed at me probably already thinking about my wedding dress. I sweat dropped. I was about to answer back but then a familiar scent attacked my nose... Natsu! I jumped from my spot and somersaulted towards the two piles of cloaks on the floor and tossed the larger one to Laxus
"Everyone don't tell them we're here! I'll let them find out themselves!" At this the whole guild seemed confused everyone except Gajeel and Wendy.
*stop music please ^.^*
I edged closer to Laxus as the scent drifted closer and closer to the guild as well as others I could barely recognise. In a few mere seconds the guilds doors were kicked wide open...again.
"Yo minna! ...why are you celebrating?!... DID LUCY COME BACK?!" He shouted enthusiastically. I winced at the mention of my name but regained my composure soon after. I shot Mira a desperate look and she immediately formed a plan.
"No. We are celebrating for the new members! Why don't you welcome them into fairy Tail?!" she interjected before anyone else could reply, she motioned for us to come forward and show ourselves to which we gladly obliged.
"Oh." He became depressed immediately. That response earned him a fist to the face by the famous Titania, Erza.
"What he means to say is welcome to Fairy Tail! You'll fit in just great!" The red-head said in a firm but friendly voice.
"Thank you we ap-" I was immediately cut off by Natsu.
"Why do you still have your cloaks on?! Take it off! I want to see your faces! You not need to be shy!" He ran towards me in full speed and made a move to try and remove my hood. I closed my eyes and reacted on my instinct and keen senses, when he got close enough I grabbed his hand and flipped him over I rested my foot on his tummy while being careful not to look directly towards his face
"Never and I mean NEVER! Try to take my good off of me or else you'll end up...dead" I pronounced the last part coldly and showing no signs of bluffing. He shivered but then smiled.
"FIGHT ME! Whatever your name is!" My eye twitched but nevertheless smirked sadistically.
"Just make sure you don't die!" I taunted him, he just grinned at me and ran outside towards our battlefield or what I call it... his grave. The whole guild followed us and soon we arrived at a little stretch of grassy land. The whole guild then started to bet on us, about 85% of the guild voted for Natsu and the rest for me. Traitorous bastards! They could've at least shown some support for me! They really do think I'm weak! Well I'll show them!
"You ready?!" He asked me, I just chuckled darkly and nodded. "Ladies first!" He suggested.
"Ok then you go first pinky!" I heard Laxus chuckle a few metres behind me, I smiled at that while Natsu looked pissed off.
"It's Natsu! Not pinky! And it's rose! Not pink!" He stated angrily
"Enough chatting! Show me what you're made of pinky!" He charged and prepared to use his roar.
"Fire dragon's ROAR!" I stood there and was about to take the hit until I remembered that my cloak would be burnt by the fire if I did. I jumped high into the air at the last minute and landed in a cat-like stance.
"Flash forward!" Multiple copies of my orb appeared and started attacking Natsu. He blocked the attack with his arms but that only made it severely wounded. "My orbs are a lot tougher than they look pinky! Don't under-estimate me! Belfast the Hurricane!" The wyvern-like creature appeared at my call and started to advance towards Natsu.
"A dragon huh?! I'm all fired up now!" He started landing effective hits on Belfast while I grit my teeth.
"How dare you hit Belfast! Ghosts of Brittia!" Natsu was soon immobilised completely while Belfast returned the attacks he received from Natsu. "Belfast enough! I'll finish this!" The beast disintegrated and soon only me and Natsu stood on the battlefield being closely watched by the guild and master himself. He stood panting and gasping for air while I stood there calmly, my eyes covered by my cloak.
"Don't act too cocky! You can't beat me just like that you know! Claws of the fire dragon!" He went for my hood but was a centimetre too far. I punched him directly on the face and kicked him far away from me.
"Don't touch me Salamander! Luminous minutes!" I attacked him again and soon he looked nearly at his limit. Seriously?! He's that weak?! I haven't even used my secret magic yet well one of them at least! Oh well time to end the fun. "It's time for you to meet death! Tower of Dingir!" The tower rose high into the sky as far as the eye could see and dragged Natsu along with it. I snapped my fingers together and the tower exploded in response. Dust swirled around the battlefield completely covering it, when the dust lifted there stood a standing Natsu. I bit my lip. I guess I'll have to use that...
"Don't think you're going to defeat me just yet! Crimson Lotus: Fire dragon's fist!" I took out a golden key hidden inside my little wallet as I calmly chanted the spell.
"Gate of the Bull! Taurus!" He arrived just in time to protect me from the attack.
When Natsu realised what had happened he sprung into action.
"Why do you have Lucy's keys?!" I answered him by silence.
"Who are you?! Why do you have Lucy's keys?!" Erza and Gray added again I answered them again by silence.
"Fire dragons...ROAR!" He attacked me and that was when I decided to end the battle. I started to eat the fire stunning everyone except Laxus, when I finished Natsu was gaping at me like a fish.
"What?! Never seen a real fire dragon slayer before?! Fire Dragon's ROAR!" Unlike Natsu's, this time the roar was twice the size combined. The attack hit him directly and he was immediately knocked out deeming me the winner. The 25% of the guild who betted on me cheered in glee at the other percentage of the guild lost while Team Natsu rushed over to Natsu to check if he was ok. I walked over to my unconscious former guild mate and pressed my hand on his head, I concentrated all my magic on him and soon he was healed. He regained consciousness soon after and again questioned me.
"Why do you have Lucy's Keys?! Answer me?!" I just sighed while tears dropped onto my face, at this Natsu panicked like a clueless boy would.
"She died...she tried to protect me on a mission but she ended up getting killed by the dark guild's master..." Natsu looked shocked while years formed in his eyes I turned and started to walk away not wanting to feel the pain again. I have to do this... I don't want him...no them to know yet... Gomen...
As I walked away I felt a hand grasp my hood and pull it down I gasped as my long blonde hair flowed out of my cloak. I turned back to face the guilty person only to realise what a mistake it was. Gray, Happy, Erza and Natsu looked at me like I was a ghost. Then tears pricked their eyes at the sight of me.
"LUCY! YOU'RE BACK!" They pounced on me and started to hug the living daylights out of me. I hugged them all back including Natsu even though I still harboured a deep grudge on him. I never held grudges not at all but it's not my fault he pushed my buttons and broke my heart.
"I can't believe my little sister is finally back!" I hugged Gray tighter than usual and let the build up of tears flow freely.
"I missed you to big brother!" We hugged each other until it was Erza's turn. She pulled me into one of her "special" hugs which I gladly obliged. I hugged her with about the same force she hugged me.
"I can see you've gotten stronger Lucy! I'm proud of you! Spar with me sometime!" When I released her, her face was soaked with tears not like the usual Erza who rarely cried. I looked at her armour and gave out a small eep when I saw the big dent on both sides of the armour.
"Gomen be Erza I'll fix that for you!" I did Restore on it and after a few seconds her Heart Kreuz armour was as good as new.
"So you learned Arc of time, Arc of Embodiment and Dragon Slayer magic! I'm impressed you'll be a worthy adversary!" I blushed.
"I also know how to see the future but only with re-occurring visions and also Heavenly Body! Hikari taught me those two during my free time!" I beamed at her.
"Who's Hikari?!" She asked me
"Oh that she's my dragon!" Baka! Why did I say that! I'm not supposed to speak of the dragons until its safe! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! At that Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel rushed over to me.
"EHHHH?! WHERE'S IGNEEL/GRANDEENEY/METTALICANA?!" I sweat dropped.
"Gomen I'm not supposed to tell." They looked disappointed but Natsu being the hothead he was kept pushing his limits.
"But why not Lucee!?" He grabbed my wrists and gave me a pleading face. I was just about to attack him with one of my roars when suddenly Laxus intervened. He electrocuted Natsu immediately and went in front of me snarling. I placed my hands on his left arm to restrain him while he pulled me closer to him. His body temperature seemed to be rising while a growl rumbled in his chest.
"Don't you dare touch her you idiotic bastard!" Natsu got up and glared at him.
"Why not she's my partner and who are you to her Laxus?!" He argued back. Knives kept repeatedly stabbing my heart at his statement inflicting torturous pain. How dare he say that! Did he really think I'm going to be his partner even after all he's put me through?! That sick bastard!
"Don't talk to Laxus that way! And he's been more of a partner to me than you have ever been! Did you really expect me to come and be your partner again?! Are you that stupid?! Even after all the pain you caused me?!" Tears pricked my eyes once more while Laxus wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled my closer, I hugged him and cried on his shirt while he kept kissing my head soothing me in more ways than I could have imagined.
"But Lucy! I-I...I love you!" I felt Natsu's hand encircle my waist and pull me from Laxus's grasp. He twirled me around to face him and slammed his lips on mine. Before I could step away and slap him so hard he'd be sent to the afterlife Laxus attacked him head on.
"Don't touch her you idiot! She's mine!" Even though both the males were fighting and I was in the middle of that fight My heart couldn't help but flutter at what Laxus had said. I watched the two fight one another for a couple seconds and then I stepped in knowing the risks of being injured when your mate decided to react on his instinct.
"Ghosts of Brittia!" The two became immobilised rendering them unable to use their powers.
"Natsu how dare you kiss me! Haven't you already sensed it or are you not a dragon slayer at all?!" I shouted at him enraged and showed him the mark Laxus had punctured into my neck. The mark glowed and crackled as if sensing something wrong. "I'm his mate!"
Natsu's P.O.V
"I'm his mate"... I gasped. How...why...I-I thought she loved me... Then why?!...h-how could he! He stole Lucy away from me! That bastard! I'm supposed to be her mate!
"You sick bastard!" I ran and used my breath on him out of pure rage, hatred clouded my judgement making me react on instinct something which I haven't done in years...
Lucy's P.O.V
Fire swirled into my mouth while I gulped down the remaining element. "Don't you dare attack him Natsu! Or else you'll be the next one to get hurt!" I snarled at him, a sense of protectiveness bubbling up inside of me.
"Why Lucy?! He took you away from me!"I became infuriated almost instantly at his stupid argument.
"No he didn't Natsu! You did! Your dense personality caused all this! It's all your fault! So stop blaming other people and start being responsible for own your actions for once!" I growled at him. He stood there flabbergasted at my response for what seemed like ages until he said something I never would have thought he would...again.
Natsu's P.O.V
I never thought in a million years Lucy would have said that. Something stirred within me, I can't explain the sensation but it feels as if something is...possessing me? The voice in my head fills biased judgement into my brain making me do idiotic things. My fault how is it my fault?!...I said she was weak... I was only saying the truth! I-I'm not supposed to lie... That's what Erza taught me...so why is my fault for telling her the truth?! How dare she blame me for all of this! It isn't my fault that she was weak! It wasn't my fault that she wanted to train to get stronger! So how the hell is it my fault?! Rage blinded my actions as I said something I would soon regret... "How is it my fault Lucy?! How is it my fault that you're weak?! It's not my fault for saying the truth! If you were strong then I would have said that! So stop blaming me for your magic! It's not my fault that you're weak!" Rain started to pour down the used-to-be battlefield creating a gloomy atmosphere I heard gasps surrounding us. The whole guild looked at me with death glares...what?
"Natsu-nii!" Romeo shouted. Odd he hasn't talked to me for years! So why now?!
Lucy's P.O.V
Droplets of rain cascaded down my porcelain cheeks disguising my actual tears. That bastard! How could he say that?! Well it's time for my payback ne minna?!
"Natsu-nii!" I looked at Romeo showing him my blood red eyes silencing him at once.
"Don't worry Romeo he'll get it now... You don't have to worry!" I tried to sound cheerful but it ended up lifeless and dull."Gate of the Lion!Leo! Gate of the water bearer! Aquarius! Gate of the maiden! Virgo! Gate of the goat! Capricorn! Gate of the great crab! Cancer! Gate of the archer! Sagittarius! Gate of the twins! Gemini! Gate of the scorpion! Scorpio! Gate of the ram! Aries! And finally! Gate of the golden bull! Taurus!" I had to take a deep breath to fill my lungs once again before I could say another sentence.
"Please defeat him for me!" I pointed at the stunned Natsu.
"You're going to get it now you brat! This is for making Lucy cry!" Aquarius lifted the urn high above her head in a circular motion creating massive waves of water. That was one of the things that changed when I trained with Celestia, I gained dominance over all my spirits giving me the chance to get to know them better and envelop a special bond that no other Celestial spirit mage had ever had.
"You made Lucy cry! You broke her heart! And you even have the nerve to say its not your fault for doing that?! You son of a dragon! You're going to get it now! O Regulus...grant me you're strength! Regulus Impact!" Every single one of my zodiac spirits kept attacking Natsu one by one until he was black and blue and by then just 1/4 of my power was drained. All my spirits disappeared back into the Celestial Spirit Realm one after the other after trying to comfort me. With each step I took towards Natsu power kept building up inside me giving off a deadly aura, so deadly that it even made the great and powerful Titania shiver.
"Inferno" my simple statement made my eyes turn into a bloodier red, if it even was possible. I tightened my grasp on the long pole of the scythe as I approached the shivering salmon-haired mage. "I am much more powerful than you can ever imagine! You're looking at the queen of the dragons here! And you should never ever! Call me weak or else your death will be close Salamander!" I raised my scythe high above my head and dragged it down towards Natsu's neck until I realised what I was doing. W-what's happening to me?! I-I was about to kill Natsu! I-Im a monster! A horrible monster! I swung the scythe and released it making the blade strike the ground close to Natsu's neck while the tears kept cascading down my soaked face. "I-I...I'm sorry...I-I" I dismissed Inferno and ran away in hope to try and get away from the monster I had become. I heard Laxus running after me calling my name, I hesitated and ended up slowing down to a stop. I turned around and was greeted by a warm hug, Laxus wrapped his arms around me while gently kissing the top of my head in hopes to ease my crying.
"Shh...Don't worry Lucy...you didn't mean any harm... I know that...you don't have to cry..." I sobbed harder and felt his grasp around me tighten.
"I-Im a monster Laxus! I don't belong here! I don't deserve to live!" He released me from the hug and looked me in the eyes.
"Don't say that! It wasn't your fault that you went overboard! It was his fault for blaming you! That stupid bastard has no right to call you weak! If anything he's the weak one! Besides if you don't deserve to live then why are you here right now?! You have a reason for living. And that is to be here with me, to be my one and only mate." I smiled at him and kissed him gently on the lips, when we both parted for air I laid my head on his chest whereas he laid his head on top of mines.
"I love you Luce..." I giggled
"Love you too Laxus..." It's amazing how one person can make you happy even in the darkest days...is this what feels like to be in love?...
Natsu's P.O.V
My whole life flashed before my eyes as Lucy glared at me with her scythe high above her head. Then everything seemed to happen all at once, Lucy dropped her weapon on the ground muttering apologies along the way. She then ran away closely followed by her...'mate'. The whole guild crowded around me giving me death glares, I shivered at their cold stares especially Erza and Gray's.
"W-what did I do?!" I squeaked out loud my voice feeble and meek.
"What did you do?! What did you do?! You drove her away again you stupid, idiotic dragon slayer! You drove away our precious little sister!" Gray attacked me with his ice-make magic while Erza re-quipped into her Purgatory armour. I gulped. I never thought I'd see that blasted armour again! They kept attacking me while I endured all of it, I thought back to what I had said and relived the memory. What! What happened to me?! I never meant to say that! Something...something told me to... I'm sorry Luce I didn't mean to hurt you again... Please forgive me...
"Stop! I'm sure Lucy herself would want to deal with Natsu! We don't want him to die before Lucy delivers her blows!" I looked over to Mira surprised to see her eyes bloodshot from all the crying.
"B-But Mira!" Gray and Erza argued. She just shook her head.
"I'd love to show him a piece of my mind too but... This is for Lucy...lets give her the opportunity to either work things out or kill him herself... It is her decision...So lets not hurt him...not yet..." I was showered with disappointed looks and glares while I had a guilt-stricken look on my face.
"Gomen ne Lucy..." Teardrops trickled down my face while I wallow in despair at what I had done.
Demon's P.O.V
I shouldn't kill you... No not yet...patience is key...though the temptation might prove too great I'll try to reign it in...even though you are so close...my plan won't work if I attack on crazed vengeance, no. It's better to follow the plan than attack and lose everything again... I'll meet you soon papa.
"Everything will soon fall into plan...just you wait..."
Normal P.O.V
At the same time Oni spoke, her voice dangerously quiet. The blade left embedded into the cold and damp ground glowed a dark red colour while a demon's hand could clearly be seen at the tips of the blade...
Gomen be minna I know it's horrible! I am so sorry for that! I hope the next chappy will be better! OH YES AND I NEED YOUR HELP!: IF YOU WANT LUCY TO WIN IN HER BATTLE AGAINST ERZA PLEASE TELL ME! I am really sorry about the extremely late update! I'm a horrible author aren't I?! I'm not reliable! T.T Gomen! Review replies! :
sereneskydragonslayer: I hope you still think Laxus and Lucy's return was awesome! I really do! though I can understand if not! I thought it was lacking detail but I'll let you be the judge of that! ^.^ And I am so so so sorry for the super late update! if you want to let Lucy win in a battle against Erza please tell me so I can get the next chappy finished soon! T.T I am sure you're disappointed with me as well as everybody else who was waiting patiently for the chapter! But I promise to make it up to you in any way!
Black Butler Worshiper: hehehe I love cookies lol! 3 oh yes and I am sooo sorry for not updating sooner! I'll try to update faster! But as you may or may not know I am a really slow typer! -.- and I mean really really slow! Please bear with me for my not-so-super typing skills! I hope this chapter was ok if not great... or is that the other way round? Ah well I cant wait to see what you thought of this chappy!
DarkDragonGirl4: Yeah I am sorry for the cliffhanger! and also super sorry for not updating faster! but please bear with me I'm not that fast at typing... I'm only useful with making stories! ^.^ Anyway I'd love to know what you thought of this chapter! Even though I've read this like a million times I always find something to edit -.- I'm just that rubbish of an author -.-
Bellala99: I can't tell you how much I am sorry for not updating fast enough! and I really hope you'll forgive me! but of course I don't deserve it! I love this part of the story as well! and I hope this chappy was ok! I really do! Please tell me what you thought of it! I would like to know if you spot some mistakes as well! I always seem to overlook little mistakes I make -.-
XxShyxX: Really?! You thought it had a good start and ending?! I'm not usually satisfied with my chapters always feeling like you guys won't like it... But nice positive little comments like yours always brightens my day! I would love to know what you thought of this chappy and I hope the battle part was not too confusing! I'm really bad at battle scenes! :(
LuV Luv Dbz Peace: I don't really like my chapters since I feel like you guys wont like it at all that's mostly why or if it lacks information but you can't really blame me I guess you guys won't know whats going to happen next whereas I always will, of course, I sometimes feel like it's boring but I should really look at it in the reader's point of view don't you think?! And enough of me blabbering on about my worthless opinions! I loved your review it really livened up my day! For some reason reviews really motivate me ^.^
FairyTailRocks801: Knowing that you're there to help me really reassures me! Please tell me if there's any errors I make! I always stress about those tiny errors! oh yes and please tell me if this chapter was good! I thought there were many errors but I'll leave that for you to decide! Please tell me what you think and I am so so so so sorry about my late update I hope I can make it up to you! T.T
oteliex: really you loved the battle scenes?! That alone really reassures me since I am really and I mean really terrible at writing battle scenes I either make the reader confused or... what else? Ah well I'm sure I'll think of the word later! My friends and teacher think I'm quite talented but as usual I don't believe them! I'm just like any other author right?! Please tell me what you thought of this chappy and I'm sure you're disappointed in me for not updating sooner right?! T.T
Coyote-Starrk-LG: hehe lol sorry for the cliffhanger but that's one of the most important parts in a book right? Without it the book would be boring and the reader would not be motivated to read the next chapter! Oh yes and DarkDragonGirl4 hates cliffhangers as well! ^.^ at least you're not the only one right?!
IRAWRIchigo: I am so so so so so so super duper sorry for not updating sooner! please forgive me! I had lots of things going on! But I really am sorry! please tell me if you want Erza or Lucy to win in their battle that would speed up the next update!
12ReiRei: I really want to thank you so much for telling me all those motivational words! If I could hug you I'd do it a million times! I really want to know what you thought of this chappy! and I am really sorry for the long wait for the update! faslling behind on school work is totally worth it just to see everyone of my readers happy! ^.^ I can't thank everyone enouigh for this especially you!

If I could hug you right now you would be crushed so hard you'd die lol just kidding! If luck was a puppy I'd give you a litter!
Forbidden Akira: Yeah same here I love reading stories about lalu pairings and other pairings as well but either I have already followed the great stories or I've already read them like a million times before -.- I wish someone would post up a good lalu story soon! And I am sooooo sorry for not updating sooner T.T Please forgive me!It's was just that I had really really stupid things coming up every now and then (homework mostly -.-) I hope I can make it up to you somehow!
Guest: I love it but are you continuing the story
Me: Yes I am continuing it actually and I will also maybe put up a sequel to this story once it's over! you'll see why when you get to the ending! I've already planned it out :D All I need to do now is keep updating until I completely finish the story! I hope you'll keep reading till then! ^.^
Silver: I would love to thank you a million times for your review! It really reassured me that most of you guys really like my story and don't worry I will continue this story until it reaches the end! And that's a promise! Besides if I don't continue it then I'll never get to get to the best part!I already know what will happen in the end and let me tell you it contains character death! I'm not revealing anymore ;D you'll just have to wait till the end!
Guest : I LOVE IT! Although I would probably keep going to the dragon realm -_-
Me: yeah that's true I would also keep going to the dragon realm but Lucy and Laxus have been there for 3 years so they should now know every nook and crevice in the realm! Just think of their visit like going long on a vacation (or if you prefer a honeymoon ;D) they will soon be back in the Dragon Realm...I hope...
caseh-chan: hehehe thanks for the review but I didn't really think it was that amazing to be honest! There were a lot of little spelling mistakes and errors, I proofread my latest chapters to see if there were any mistakes that I over-looked so I guess there weren't many last time right^.^ I'm sorry for the super late update and I hope you you'll like this chappy as much as the last one!
Ilovedaddy: gomen gomen gomen gomen! Please forgive me for the extremely late update! Which I am super duper sorry for! I'm very irresponsible aren't I T.T I hope this chapter can make up for how late it is but who am I kidding I deserve no mercy from you! T.T
Guest:This the person who said you should be an author, I really like this chapter! I'm so excited to see what happens next
Me: I hope you'll forgive me for the lateness of this chapter!I really do! I just have a lot of things going on right now so it was hard to type this up but I still hope you enjoyed it! I'd love to know what you thought of this chapter! I can't wait to see your review! but of course you don't have to review if you don't want to! It is still an option!
