HEY EVERYONE! Sorry this took so long, but I explained what happened on my other story, so please don't kill me! Anyway, on with the show! \ (^u^)/

~~x*X*x~~

"Good morning, Lady Lucy, breakfast is downstairs waiting for you" The voice of an old woman slowly woke up Lucy, who, when she finally opened her eyes was trying to figure out where she was.

This wasn't her house next to the river which Natsu had floated down a rainbow cherry blossom tree in Magnolia, hell this wasn't even Fiore! This wasn't her small, soft and warm bed. This was a massive four poster bed, which was cold, hard and lonely.

Then she realised something very important. Her keys. Lucy panicked, rifling through the big puffy sheets before a sigh of relief escaped her lips as her fingers wrapped themselves around the cold metal of her keys, pulling them from the sheets and holding them to her heart.

*x**x*F*x**x*

"So? What's our next plan?" Natsu had gone off and sulked at Lucy's house after he had heard Lucy wasn't where she was supposed to be, and he was back the next day, still sooky and whiney like a child who had lost his favourite blanket.

"I'm not sure Natsu. We need to find out where she went if she wasn't at Tamaki's house" Levi looked sad, worrying for the blonde.

"The guy yesterday said she wasn't there at midday, right? Maybe she showed up after that"

Everyone stopped in silence, which seemed to be happening a lot lately. Everyone's eyes were on Gajeel. That was probably the wisest thing the Iron Eater had ever said. The pink haired boy blinked once, twice, three times, then a brilliant grin sprang to his lips, his eyes glittering with hope that his weirdo would come home with him once he found her.

"LETS GO FIND THIS GUY!" he was leaping in the air, his fists punching the air above him like he just won the lottery, his cat cheering next to his partner before rushing out the door to pack, he didn't want to meet Lucy looking grubby, she wouldn't want to go home with him like that!

.*.*.O.*.*.

"I can't believe you forgot I was here" Lucy sulked, walking in the front gate of the school with her cousin Tamaki, who was panicking about being so rude as to forget she was there.

*Earlier that day*

"I'll see you this afternoon, Shima!" Tamaki waved towards the elderly care-taker, heading out the large maple wood front door.

"Master Tamaki!" she called, but the blonde haired ditz had already gone, forgetting something very important…his cousin Lucy, who was in the dining hall eating breakfast.

*back to reality*

"I told you I was sorry, my dearest cousin, what more can I do?" Tamaki begged, trying to gain forgiveness before morning classes begin. With a polite wave of her hand, Lucy walked off to do whatever she felt like doing during the day. She had permission to wander around campus, join in with classes which she saw to be interesting, and come and go as she pleased. Being the principal's niece had its perks after all.

*x**x*F*x**x*

"Oi, oi Natsu! What do you think we should say when we see Lucy? "Sorry? Come home? We missed you?" Should we cry? Oi, Natsu, listen to me!" Happy droned on to a fire dragon slayer who just wasn't listening. He was too busy searching for something. He had managed to cram his head and torso under a bench, having to have Happy pull him out by his feet. His search continued to their hammocks, in their incredibly messy kitchen, and he rifled through all the things he had collected on their missions together, like the maid costume Lucy wore, stones from the tower of heaven, and every request poster they had ever taken together. He even contemplated ripping out the floorboards before he finally remembered where it was

.*.*.O.*.*.

"Ugh, everyone here is just so….slow!" Lucy complained to her lion spirit, sitting in the pink Host room, sipping a teacup filled with some strange drink Loki had brought with him. It had a golden glow like honey, yet smelled like the sweetest peaches. She sent Loki home, calling out Lyre to replace him.

'HELLO PRINCESS! Oh, it's been such a long time since you've called me! I really did miss you!"

"It's good to see you too. Still as hyper as ever I see."

"Yes, Yes, Yes Princess, I'm just so happy you called me again! I was worried you forgot about me"

"I could never do that, Lyre, you're my friend!"

"My princess thinks of me as a friend? Oh! That makes me want to sing a song of joy!"

"Speaking of singing Lyre, sing me something, please?"

"Of course, Princess, I have just the thing"

"Please, go ahead"

Lucy waved Lyre to go on, leaning back in the chair and raising the teacup to her lips, closing her eyes as she was wrapped in the scent of peaches, and the beautiful melody, any anger or worries that appeared in the day disappeared slowly, like smoke rising from a candle, vanishing into thin air.

Lyre breathed softly, her fingers plucked at the harp gently, producing a sad, but wonderful sound. Lyre began to sing.

"Sing a song into the world

Rising high, the clouds unfurl

We fan the flames into the past

Here, now our lives shall last.

You never know the times of pain.

Fall down, fall down, falls the rain,

Our lives…

Won't be plain"

Silence took over the room as Lucy opened her eyes, looking like she had been be to heaven and back, just as her spirits had secretly planned, since they knew their princess was stressed enough as it was.

"That…..was amazing" a voice breathed from the doorway. Lucy and Lyre looked up, only to find the host club in awe, hypnotised and mesmerised by Lyres words, and inside Kyouya's head, even though clouded by the soft, gentle words of the spirit, a plan was ticking, one to use Lucy and her spirits to their maximum.

~~x*X*x~~

How was that everyone? Yeah, I know, you guys are going to end up yelling at me for stealing Sayas song, but I thought it suited the situation well! Anyway, what evil mastermind of a plan is Kyouya planning? Will Natsu and the gang ever find where Lucy is?

All that, and more in the next chapter!

Love
