Last time on 'Bitten':
"Guys, we're back.."
"You?! Who are you?!"
Chapter 6 - Forgotten
Lucy gasped, she knew it. They forgot who they are. But Lucy showed no signs of negative emotion, she just glared at Natsu now. And heck, she was really furious. Gray gave them all stern looks, and he was ready to reveal who they are. He smelled the blood again, and noticed it came from Natsu. His fangs showed, shocking everyone in the guild. Gray licked his shiny fangs and ready to tackle the Salamander, but Lucy got him first.
She pinned Natsu down, and he couldn't move. Before the guild members could react, Gray pulled Lucy away from Natsu, whose fists are now engulfed with fierce flames. "What was that for?! You'll pay for that!" Natsu shouted and attempted to land a punch on Lucy. He did punch her, but Lucy wasn't scratched at all. She smirked evilly and a heavy rush of wind blew Natsu away by just looking at him.
Gray frowned, he knew this would happen. Now the guild already joined in the fight, including Erza. She requipped to her Heaven's Wheel Armor and started throwing swords at Lucy and Gray. They both dodged gracefully, but somehow a sword scratched Gray's jaw and blood dripped from it. Lucy ignored how Gray's blood was exposed to her. Gray just licked the blood off and smirked. They both walked towards them, dodging each of the members' attacks.
Natsu and Gajeel did a unison raid, but Lucy just countered it with Death Magic. All the members stepped back, seeing that she just used death magic, but it had hit no one. Natsu gritted his teeth. "You planned on killing us?! I'll defeat you myself and protect my friends, you bastards!" he hollered heinously.
Lucy gasped, what the heck is he talking about? Protect his friends when he completely forgot about them?! "What a shame Natsu Dragneel.." she said as she dodged Natsu's fiery roar. Natsu raised an eyebrow curiously. "You forgot two of your friends...Left them alone in an island and now you fight them and tell them you care for your friends?! How pathetic! You should be ashamed of yourself!" she yelled in rage.
Natsu landed on a kick on her face but did a somersault to dodge it. Gray landed a punch to him as Lucy kicked his head. He was clearly Gray Fullbuster, by the way he moves, but Natsu, being the idiot he is, didn't recognize him properly.
"I have nothing to be ashamed of, whoever you are! And what the heck are you babbling about forgotten friends?! You are talking non-sense so shut up! Roar of the Fire Dragon!"
Out came a large blast of fire from Natsu's mouth. Gray just moved to the side and laughed for poor Natsu isn't accurate enough. Same goes for Lucy who just floated the other direction so she wouldn't be hit. Now is a good time to reveal herself and she raised two familiar keys.
"I open thee, Gate of the Lion, Leo! Gate of the Twins, Gemini!" she said as she slashed them both down. Two spirits appeared, Gemini and Loke, who prepared for fighting. Since Lucy got stronger, her spirits got stronger too. Gemini can now copy anyone's appearance, including Zeref and his powers.
Gemini didn't need any orders, they automatically transformed themselves to Ryujin. Fairy Tail had no idea who he was, but Gemini roared a blast of strong water that drenched Natsu, leaving him unconscious on the ground. Fairy Tail members weren't happy, for they remembered who they are, but are too scared to go near them.
Wendy rushed to the injured members and healed them quickly. "Don't worry Natsu, you'll be fine, I promise!" she said sweetly, focusing her magic to Natsu' health. Lucy and Gray stared at the two, who were so busy. Suddenly, Lucy felt a warm embrace on her stomach. Before she could do something, she turned to see who it is, and it's her best friend Levy McGarden. She tightened her hug, and Lucy smiled at her.
"Lu-chan, I missed you so much! Sorry for forgetting about you, I tried to tell them that you and..Gray were not there yet but they didn't know who you guys are!" Levy cried. Lucy ruffled her hair as Levy sniffed and sobbed. She felt sympathy for the poor girl who may have tried hard to convince her guild mates that they were left behind. Lucy personally wanted to give her something in return, but just shot glares at Fairy Tail members who didn't remember both her and Gray.
Gray placed his hands on his side. "So you were playing 'pretend', eh, Natsu? Too bad, we're not coming back. We're quitting Fairy Tail right now. And I promise I'll get you someday!" Gray yelled at him, but Lucy calmed him down with her glowing red eyes. Eventually, he cooled down a little, and just crossed his arms.
"Enough, Gray. Yes I do agree of quitting Fairy Tail. You should know better, Dragneel. Prank or not, game or not, pretending or not, we are leaving. Sorry, Levy-chan, I know it hurts.." Lucy said with a sniffle. Gray grabbed Lucy's arm and stirred her to the master's office, where he assumed Makarov is right now. Before they entered, Lucy gave one last grin to Levy, who cried in sorrow.
When the two entered, Makarov jumped in front of them. "I have heard loud and clear, my children. Indeed Natsu planned all of this, we all thought this was just a joke, but then he got serious! Forgive me, Lucy and Gray. Therefore as an apology, you may leave if you want, I will not stop you.." he said grimly.
He waved his hands where Lucy's and Gray's guild marks are and the marks faded. Makarov sighed, knowing he lost two of his best children in the guild. "And I am fully aware that you two are vampires, clearly from your looks and your eyes. Please try not to kill too much people and cause trouble in Magnolia" he pleaded. The two didn't respond, they just looked down on the wooden floor.
"I will not be offended by the silent treatment, but you may go now if you wish.." Makarov said, gesturing his hands to the door. Lucy nodded and dragged Gray outside without a word. And they walked out of the guild silently, avoiding the deadly glares some members shot them, but were stopped immediately by Erza. She, too, feared the day that some members would rebel.
As soon as Lucy and Gray were nowhere visible outside, Makarov stepped out of his office. Silence filled the atmosphere of Magnolia's most mischievous guild: Fairy Tail. His eyes were closed, and disappointment is visible from his emotion. He stepped on the counter, getting everyone's attention, and cleared his throat.
"You have disappointed me and the Holy Name of Mavis. You have betrayed your brother: Gray Fullbuster, and your sister: Lucy Heartfilia. Heart broken they left, because of your jokes, and took it too far. Now they got serious, and dealt both physical and mental damage" he stated. Then he glared at Natsu, "Natsu Dragneel, you are to blame. Why is it that you don't like Gray?! Don't you accept him as your brother? What about Lucy?! No offense, but you were ignoring her since they went back from Edolas! Now in the S-Class Exams, you left the two in the island. Who knew that they could still be alive? What if they died?! We will be called murderers and you'll damage the guild's name! Further more, I hereby, warn you, Natsu Dragneel. If you disobey one more rule, you will be expelled from all the guilds in Fiore and remain a wandering mage!" he lectured.
The guild remained silent, not knowing how much they have hurt Lucy. Cana threw his barrels of wine. "I should punish myself! I will not drink booze no more as an apology and for a change!" she shouted and asked for a glass of water instead.
The members gasped. Erza joined in, too. "This is for Lucy and Gray! I promise not to eat more cakes!" she hollered raising her sword. Soon, more and more members gave punishments to themselves. The only ones who didn't give punishments were Lisanna and Natsu, who sulked in the corner.
Natsu clenched his fists. "Gah, what a bunch of sympathetic losers! I'll get you, Gray, someday, I'll kill...I'll kill the one you love, and feel the pain!" he mumbled, making Lisanna smirk evilly.
Ending Notes: That took a lot of time. I still have to make a bunch of OCs for the upcoming chapters. Hope you enjoyed this one, and I would publish the next chapter ASAP.
Hopefully, SolemNiTee isn't that much of a human. Think of him as Zero Kiryuu in 'Vampire Knight', he looks exactly like him! Well, thanks for staying tuned with 'Bitten' and of course, your support is highly appreciated.
