Oh God, how long was it since I've updated? I was really busy guys! Please forgive me! I was really confused what to do! School or Updating? Unfortunately, School won. And also, because I was reading the most amazing fic I have ever read EVER! It's "Lead by fate" by "Evee-chan" and it's the second HunterXHunter fic that I read! If you read HunterXHunter fics, I recommend that story to you~!}
And also, for "145863" I know this really sucks, and I know 21 people are so little in number but don't say they have bad taste okay? Just say the story sucks and DO NOT join my readers or whatever 21 people you're talking about in this criticism and also, I wrote this to thank you for your criticism because without this I wouldn't know my mistakes or whatever it is. If you could, please continue criticizing my story so I can make a better one. I'll just rewrite this story over again and make the plot different (I really need to get a beta reader.) like what I did in the other one and if you could, please criticize that one too. And, I know this isn't as popular as Honey honey or Suicidal Boyfriend. It's because, I'm a different author and no author is alike, like people (Well authors are people but… oh well) All have differences. To balance this world, some must be bad at writing and some must be very good. That's just the world and I know it sucks. I hope you make an account so that I don't have to put this in the story and let the others see this fucking (Gomene) author's note. I'm a bitch! (Not so sure bout' that)
And oh, today my imagination will be fucking bullshit! (I'm not very used in saying bad words but I felt like it, so, gomene)
(And, I know the new couple in this chapter is really NOT happening… but, gotta do it. *shrugs*) {And also, I want to ask you good people, how do I get a Beta Reader? Ask him/her, "Hey, can you beta read my story?" or whatever?}
SO, off with the story!
Teiji: Chapter 13 (Teiji means 'Presenting'. I looked it up on the English-Japanese translator)
\(o)/
"Okay, so, whose house are we going to go again?" Gray asked, again. They were now far away from the guild, trying to think of a place where they'll stay and talk privately. And it was Gray who had something to tell them.
"What about ours?" Juvia again suggested, she raised her hand shyly while the others looked at her
"Y-yeah, I'd like to see your house." Lucy smiled, and then started imagining, "I think half of the house will be really normal, and that will be Juvia's part, like what room she had when she was in Fairy Hills, while the other half…" She stopped at that part where she has to say how horrible Natsu's room might be and how stinky it'll be. Juvia and Natsu sweat-dropped while Gray imagined the same thing that Lucy was imagining
"H-how irresponsible do you think I am?" Natsu asked
"Very, very, very, very much…" Lucy silently agreed and added
"I'm now imagining the house being on fire everyday…"
"Oh Juvia, how did you survive?! It sounds like a miracle for Juvia to be not affected by Natsu's infection!" Gray sighed in relief
"Gray-sama sounds like Lyon…" She sweat-dropped, "Oh yeah, where is Lyon-san?" She asked to nobody in particular
"Who cares?" Gray shrugged, while he unconsciously stripped.
"To be honest, I care about him." Juvia said honestly, while saying it innocently.
"Lyon, wherever you are, I will hunt you down and KILL you." This is NOT just a joke. He was really going to hunt him down and kill him, even if he's in the South Pole, he will do it.
"Never knew Gray could be this over protective." Natsu muttered, loud enough for Lucy to hear
"Uh-huh, and I know why he had been over protective." Lucy crossed her arms, looking entertained while watching Juvia hold Gray down, and Gray trying to go find Lyon and kill him. Natsu looked at his woman with a puzzled expression.
"Well, they haven't seen each other in years and he thought he was the reason why she died, so, he'll do everything to protect her and kill anyone who'll hurt her or have some romantic feelings for her or something." She explained, smirking at her own smart self.
"O-okay…" He nodded
"Gray-sama~ Stop it! I care for him as a FRIEND! A FRIEND I TELL YOU! He is JUST A FRIEND!" When she said the last part, 'he is just a friend' Lyon appeared and seems to hear the whole speech and to be honest, he was hurt, Even though he said that he knew when they came back, they'll be engaged, he's still hurt… it just hurts. Like hell. It was like swords was thrown to him, straight in the head, the vital parts and last but not the least, the heart.
He dropped his groceries, but held the tickets in his hands. He held it tightly, safely putting it in his pockets and planned that later on, he'll give it to the couple.
"O-oh, h-h-hey… Juvia-chan, Gray-the-ice-bastard, Lucy and Natsu…. Hey… I was just passing by and saw strands of blue hair and…. Yeah…. I was just passing by." He awkwardly said
Gray reacted from the new nickname Lyon gave him, 'Gray-the-ice-bastard' and said, "Hey!" But was ignored by the mages
"Lyon… I-I-I'm sorry!" Juvia bowed her head, and apologized again
"It's okay, really, I know stripper here…" Gray, again, heard what he called him and commented silently, "Said the not stripping gay,"
"can catch your heart again and ask you some really common thing to say when you want to marry him/her." And again, he commented, "Hah! You're not just romantic enough for MY Juvia! That's why she wants you and her to JUST be FRIENDS!" He pointed at Lyon all high and mighty, while Lyon stood there annoyed by the childish actions of his old frenemy
"No," Juvia dead-panned, "he's very romantic specially with his accent" Gray almost lost his composure, "and why I wanted to only become friends with him is unknown but I gotta say, he's more of a gentleman than Gray-sama." Silence
"WHAT?!" Gray couldn't take it anymore and yelled
"This was unexpected" Natsu thought
"Juvia… I think you've said enough…." Lucy also thought, "Why can't she just lie to the poor striper— ugh. The Natsu disease and there's no known cure."
"Juvia-chan…." Lyon blushed
"She's got you bro… poor popsicle head, it felt like she rejected you but… so hard to say…. What's the term again? Ugh… I really should stop talking, right?" Natsu was completely ignored by the grown ups
"Anyways, here," Lyon handed out the tickets to Juvia, and started to leave
"Lyon, what's this?" Juvia showed him the tickets
"It's tickets for your honey-moon!" Lyon said rather cheerfully, Juvia blushed a thousand shades of red thinking what could— ablah blah, blah, Lucy giggled while Natsu tilted his head.
"W-what?"
"I accept" Lyon bowed his head
"You accept what?"
"That you'll never love me, blah, blah, blah" He nonchalantly said, Juvia felt sad a bit and said
"Ah, thanks you Lyon-kun" She beamed a smile at him
"Welcome?"
"Lissana!" A familiar voice yelled the name of the youngest Strauss, they can hear the man sob… but, why?
"Bixlow?" Lucy asked, it was rare to see Bixlow crying. This was very super duper rare.
"He's crying? HELL HE'S CRYING! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! THE WIERDO LOOKING FREAK SHOW IS CRYING!" Natsu ran around in circles and started pulling his pink hair out. Lucy decided to knock him out.
"Bixlow, tell me, why the HELL are you crying?" Lucy asked in a serious voice, he was embarrassing, heck HE WAS VERY, VERY, VERY, SUPER, DUPER, VERY, EMBARRASSING!
"L-L-L- *sniff*" Lucy sent him a glare
"Stutter and you'll have your jaw broken in a blink of an eye." She threatened
"LissanaleftmeforthestupidfuckingStingwhoisaSABRET OOTHmember!" This shocked the ladies plus the strippers, except for Natsu who is still unconscious.
"What. The. Hell. Are. You. Saying?" Lucy and Lissana have been very close since the incident and she can't tell what made Lissana break up with Bixlow… it's not because he's ugly and seriously looks like he was experimented by a mad scientist and just came out from a freak show. No, it wasn't that. She had another reason and Lucy is going to find that out!
"Sting and Lissana are going out. She dumped me! Because of that stupid light Dragon Slayer!" He yelled, he was hurting inside and he did everything just to get Lissana back but all was vain. She wouldn't even look at his face! (Next time, he is going to get plastic surgery!)
"Bixlow, she has a reason." Juvia unexpectedly said, her eyes were like she was possessed or something and she wasn't herself and everyone felt it. She went paler and she was like a mannequin.
"Juvia, what are you saying?" Gray, with a hint of worry, asked. But Juvia wouldn't reply.
"Bixlow, everyone is in trouble. Mira-san, Lucy-san, Natsu-san, Lissana, Gray-sama, Lyon-kun…" She stopped, her knees were trembling and in a blink of an eye she fell on the ground.
"Juvia!" Gray and Lyon immediately came to her aid, Lucy was standing there shocked, also Natsu who was now conscious watched his beloved sister collapse.
Then his phone rang.
If I could say what I wanna say—
(Gotta say, his ring tone is girly)
"Who's this?" He asked the number unknown to him.
"Natsu-san," He immediately recognize who it was who called, it sounded like she was in a hurry.
"Wendy, what happened?" He asked
"Natsu-san, please come here in the guild with Lucy-san and the others- I'm really in a hurry because Warren-san's still not back here and we can't contact him, so I need to call everyone while the others prepare." On the other end, Natsu could hear Mira's voice and the others yelling.
"Right, we'll be there in a jiffy—"Then the line was cut off by the child— I meant, teenager.
"What was that Natsu?" Lucy asked, over hearing the conversation because the phone was on speaker mode.
"Something's not right, we need to go back to the guild as fast as we could!" Gray carried Juvia while Lyon assisted Bixlow because he was still very damn hurt. And Natsu carrying Lucy so he could ran fast and bring Lucy with him…
O
IN THE GUILD
o
"Where's Wendy?" Asked the worried-to-death-Natsu, worried about what will happen later which he guessed is NOT good.
"Natsu-san, come!" The said man, who was still carrying Lucy, went over to the teen. Gray and Juvia came next and saw Natsu headed over to where Wendy was, and came last were Lyon and Bixlow. Bixlow was very heavy I tell ya'
"Wendy, why do you need us?" Natsu asked, Lucy got off him and put her hands on her flushed face. It was very embarrassing with Natsu running around carrying her while she was yelling at him for him to stop and was completely ignored. It was as embarrassing as…. Um… when… Natsu discovering that she was wearing those kinds of underwear?
If you get what I mean
"Everybody, listen!" Her sweet voice called out to everyone, all of them stopped doing what they were doing and looked at the teen. "Laki-san, is everybody here?" She asked
"The only one who's missing is Lissana, Warren and some others who were on a job." She frowned, Wendy nodded and continued
"Mira-san, please, tell them." She gave Mira the microphone that she was holding later.
"Fellow guild mates, Charles have predicted a very horrifying future…" Mira paused and gave a very troubled look; she gulped and then decided to continue. "It has been a very hard thing to make Charles reveal the future to us… I can see why she hesitated, it is really a horrifying future…." She took a deep breath and then exhaled loudly. Her hands were trembling and it was clearly seen by her guild mates.
"I-I can't tell you… the future…" She then fell on her knees, terribly shaking and trying to hold her sob. Freed immediately came to her aid with Laxus, Canna and Elfman.
"Mira, calm down… you don't have to tell us…" Freed reassured
"Yeah, y-you just tell us what to do… and stuff…. Yeah" Laxus stuttered, not knowing what to say. In some time, he had liked Mira but then it was all lost when he noticed Canna.
"Mira… I never thought I'd see you like this again when I…. I was told that Natsu and Juvia are b-back." Canna's eyes widened, she had never wanted to see Mira like this ever again, at first the first days where the arc when Natsu and Juvia were gone, she had been like this, but when weeks came, she had tried to smile more and hide herself when she cried.
Laxus put his hand on Canna's shoulder to calm her down. It has always worked. She's now calmed down but still worried that Mira might be in that state again.
"What the heck is happening? I-I don't understand!" Natsu asked to no one in particular.
"Something horrible will happen in the future…" Lucy muttered
"I know that… but… what will happen?" He again asked with a shaky voice
"I don't know but Mira wouldn't tell us and maybe it's for the best. We'll just have to wait for her to give us instructions." A serious look on her face
"Gray-sama…" Juvia was awake now and just heard everything, Gray took Juvia's hand and held it tightly but not the tight that can break her hand or hurt her. Lyon watched the couple not that far from the two.
"Juvia-chan….I…. promise that I will protect you." He told himself, he turned his head to see Ultear looking at him.
He and Ultear are almost the same age but Ultear looks older than him while Lyon looked years younger than her. Anyways, age and looks doesn't matter… it's not like Ul's in love with Lyon or something, but… just because— Ahhh~ so confusing. Is she in love with Lyon? If it is, well, it's just… unexpected.
"So, Mira, will you tell us what we should do to prepare?" Freed smiled at his wife, Mira looked at him still sobbing, for a few seconds and then finally nodded.
"O-okay… so… Reedus, draw steel walls, Freed set different kinds of runes all around the guild, Laxus put up lightning traps around the guild too, Elfman guard—" She was cut off by Freed suddenly interrupting her
"Wait, why are all these defenses? Shouldn't we be fighting them too?" With Mira all putting up all kinds of defenses and is very worried, maybe their future really was horrible.
She frowned "Just trust me, will you, Freed?" Freed barely nodded
"Okay, fine. Reedus, Laxus-san, and Elfman, let's go!" He yelled then looked back at the worried-to-death white haired mage, "Continue bossing our friends around, okay?" He smiled.
"Sure" She replied, but still didn't smile.
"Let's move it!" He ran outside the guild with the others in charge of defense.
Back to Mira, "Wendy, you know the future too and you know what me must do, so please help me in telling them what they should do. I know you'll do a great job." She smiled at the blue haired teen who was blinking, surprised at the older mage's words.
"M-me?" She pointed at herself, blushing. Oh, the responsibility in the job! One mistake, then, BOOM! Leads to downfall… it doesn't really make any sense. Because, you know, the future, whatever you do in the past to change the future, the future will still happen because all the things that happened in the past happened in the future because of all the things they did. Right?
It's like this; everything that they are all doing now has happened in the future, so, there's nothing you can do to change the future no matter what you do. It's impossible; they're messing with the future here! But Fairy Tail members don't believe such things, 'Impossible' is not in their dictionary and you can't give them a dictionary with the impossible word in it. They have their own dictionary and it's called Fairy Tail Dictionary. Heck even Levy doesn't know what the meaning of impossible is… kay' I'm just kidding, she's a walking encyclopedia so she knows a LOT of things but let's make an exception on that one.
"Yes" Mira clapped her hands getting the attention of people again who were busy thinking of other ways to help. "Everybody, listen to what Wendy and I have to say," She smiled, hiding her cries back in her head. Hiding one's emotion is really a bad thing for your health and she knows that.
"Mira-san, will I tell them exactly what to do?" She asked the mage
"What do you mean?" She asked
"I meant, will I tell them what Charles saw what they did in the future?" She again asked
"No, if you do that then you'll just make the future… and I don't want that happening, and if you do, it's not your fault. So don't blame yourself, kay'?" Wendy nodded hesitantly, like I said earlier, the future will still happen whatever they do.
"I understand" She nodded
"Just tell me what you need" Then she left
SOMEWHERE…
"Oh Sting, you didn't have to do that~!" You really shouldn't have done that! Ugh! If only Jiemma would just tell us the plan already so that we wouldn't have to do this… but… this is for… ugh… Bixlow, please hang in there, I'll be coming back for you… and tell you what really has happened
"You know I'm a person who likes surprising people in every way…" Why are we doing this?! Oh yeah, Grahhh I hate acting! Tch, make sure your plan works…. Lissana, I wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for that stupid ass whole who can't even tell trust a guy like me… well I'm really not that trustable, Ugh! Even I'm doubting myself. Just great, only Minerva, Rufus and Orga know the stupid plan… just have to suffer for a bit and I can be with Yukino. I just hope all of our sacrifices were worth it. Yukino's expression when she saw me with Lissana all sweet and lovey-dovey… it really hurt me, but I know I hurt her more and that's what I hate… hurting my only love.
"Sting, master needs you." The blonde, Rufus, informed the other blonde who was only acting that he and Lissana were 'in love', well, that was a word that you least expected with the names of our white haired FT mage and our Blondie ST Light Dragon slayer. It was just weird and unexpected.
"Why? Can't you see I'm with my girlfriend?" He was so darn good in acting; Rufus just sighed and took him by the hair. It hurts.
"Just go with us or else we'll kick that Fairy out of the building. We just let her stay here because you threatened us that you will leave the guild." Rufus said
Minerva, appearing in front of them, said, "If only Rouge wouldn't leave the guild if you would leave, we would've allowed you to leave."
"Just stay away from me; I won't help you if you won't tell me what your plan is." He smirked, knowing without his help, the plan would totally fail and he would want that to happen but he frowned when he saw Minerva smirk back at him.
"Oh, so you're saying, if I won't tell you the 'plan', you won't help us, we, your only friends?" His reaction was priceless, he looked like vomiting after hearing the word 'friends' his only friends here were Rouge, Lector, Yukino and Frosch and nobody else.
"For your information, you're not my friend and none of them here except for Rouge and the exceeds… and also Yukino." Minerva raised a brow, crossed her arms and looked at him all high and mighty.
"I just wanted to see your reaction. And it seemed like you were going to throw up—" Cut off by Sting
"I already did, inside." Minerva smirked
"Oh, you're not the only one." Sting frowned, "Disgusting, anyways, you think you can threaten us again? If that's it, then you're wrong. You can't threaten us ever again." Sting, interested in what she was going to say, had his sensitive ears ready for any words she was going to say.
"What do you mean?" He asked, "If I leave this guild then I won't help you, if you don't tell me what the stupid plan is, I won't help you either. But if you did, maybe, I will." Minerva didn't even flinch. Instead, she laughed evilly and left. But before she could go any further, she stopped and said, "We have plans, and it's not for your ears and no one else's. Knowing you, you might just ruin it if you find out what we'll do to your little girl friend over there." She looked at Lissana who was happily chatting with some member who became her 'friend'
"Crap, if they get her in trouble I'd be responsible for it. Better warn her and bring back the guild." The worried Light Dragon Slayer thought.
"Lissana! Go home already!" He yelled, getting the attention of the white haired beauty, it was the signal for retreat. As much as she wants to help him with getting the information they need, she can't because when Sting signaled her, it meant she needed to retreat. This was all for the sake of their plan and the plan was to help their friends, and also, Sting to bring Yukino safety and finally confess his feelings.
Why Sting would help Lissana you may ask? It's because the 'horrible future' that Mira and Wendy was talking about, was the cause of the guild that he's in. And he heard that they needed two celestial mages— and one of them is Yukino, one was Lucy.
"O-okay… I will." With that she left, looking down on the ground sadly, thinking, "What might happen later?" Hoping that it wasn't anything that bad
Minutes passed and she found herself standing outside the guild, sighing, she continued walking inside and saw the panicking members. They all had a hint of worried with a tinge of scared-to-death expression. She was curious why they were all like that, so she decided to ask someone who was the closest to where she was who wasn't doing anything, and guess who was beside her that she didn't even notice who it was.
"Hey, can you tell me why they all have this scared-to-death expression." Not looking at who she asked, she heard the man sobbing, she finally looked at the man and that was the least person she wanted to see.
Bixlow
He had done everything just to get Lissana back to be with him but what did she do?! She left him there.
Don't blame her, blame me.
o Flashbacko
"Lissana, why did you leave me for that gay of a dragon slayer? I'm much more manlier and more and definitely capable in protecting you!"
"Bixlow, please leave." She said in a low dark voice
"Don't Bixlow, Bixlow me, I won't never leave until you tell me why!" Lissana couldn't take it anymore, so she yelled at him.
"WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHUT UP AND GET OUT OF MY HOUSE " She was alone in the house. Because Mira was still working in the guild and Elfman was partying in the guild.
She looked down, trying to hide her face, she was trying not to cry but she failed. Bixlow made her look at him with concern in his eyes (Wahhh~! Why am I writing this? Okay, just imagine that Bixlow is NOT Bixlow and that he is a prince from a magical land, comforting your favorite white-haired maiden)
He said, "Lissana, is there a reason why you broke up with me and went with that bast—"
"Don't even continue that insult." And she meant that. She didn't want him to insult her friend, Sting Eucliffe.
"Okay fine, but, let me ask you this again, why did you leave me? Is there some kind of reason? Was I that ugly? Was I disgusting? Was I not lovable? Am I a freak? What mistake did I do?" Those words were hurting her even more when she heard every single word Bixlow said that she told him when she broke up with him. It hurt, a LOT. More than when she was in any life-and-death situations.
"It's not you…" She covered her mouth with her fragile hands, as she continued sobbing, unable to continue her sentence, "It's me... I was wrong… I… I…" She can't continue anymore, she can't lie, but she needs to. It was the most confusing moment she had ever had.
Only one thing to say, Fuck this moment.
She needed to lie, for the sake of the future, everyone's safety and them.
She finally stopped crying, or so she thought. She was trembling but she tried to stop. She looked down; her bangs covering her eyes, her arms were just hanging like she was a dead person or something. She was really going to kill Jiemma after this. Everything. She had to do everything. She had sacrificed everything. Even her relationship with the man she loved. The man she promised to marry. The man who completed her life
But why did she do everything?
The only answer I can give you is this. She wanted to find happiness; she wanted to be happy with a certain pink-haired idiot. Four years ago when she heard Natsu's goodbyes she thought the world has ended, but she was wrong. At some time, she found love. She shared love. She finally shared love with someone. She thought Natsu was the only man for her and she will only love Natsu and in hopes of him loving her back. But she was dead wrong. Natsu loved Lucy, but it was okay for her, really. At least she finally found someone who loved her back. Before Bixlow, she loved someone who didn't love her. She wanted him to love her back. But it didn't happen.
When Bixlow asked her to be his, she immediately said yes and the first thing she did was promise him that she will protect him and will never hurt him.
Well, she broke that promise, and she's very guilty.
She didn't deserve any of this. Why did she have to do all the work? Why did she have to sacrifice her everything? Why was she the only ONE? Oh wait, she's not the only one, Sting has to do it too but she's in a different state, she BROKE up with Bixlow, while on Sting's side, he still hasn't confessed to her.
"I don't love you anymore. Goodbye" With that, she left. Running away from him, who was frozen in place.
(A/N: Sorry, I don't want to change the mood for you guys but I really need to tell you this before I forgot to type this in the bottom author's note. Okay, so here, let's imagine a very different looking Bixlow. Imagine he still has blue hair, but his hair style changed and looked a BIT like Zayn Malik's 2012 hair style, his eyes are still dark red but lighter and his clothes are still the same oh, and also, his tongue is ALWAYS inside his mouth now.)
For Bixlow, time has stopped, as much as he wanted to see through Lissana's soul, he won't, because he promised her that he will never do that to her.
I
Don't
Love
You
Anymore

…
Ouch
Can she be more sensitive? Well, nobody can ever blame her because she has been through a lot lately.
Days later, Bixlow, had tried to get over her, but it was a very hard thing to do.
And, the thing you just read earlier was his last attempt to make her go back to him. All were futile. 1st day, he had given her flowers but she threw it away, 2nd day, he sang to Lissana but she didn't even go outside to tell him to stop, 3rd day, he asked her out on dates but all were the same answer, no, 4th day, he tried to kill Sting but failed miserably with him ending up in prison, 5th day… was the last.
oFLASHBACKO
"Uh… uh… um… err… sorry, I need to go." Tears, tears were the liquid thingy that was coming from her eyes, falling down on her soft cheeks, a teardrop, that a mere human can't notice, fell on the floor, on the cold hard wooden floor, which was continuously being stepped at by the mages as it evaporated.
Bixlow, noticed. He noticed. She was crying. She still loved him. He can feel it. Whatever he does, his memory with her can never be erased.
