Disclaimer: The cyber police are still watching me….carefully…so no, I don't own Fairy Tail.

Can I please have some food now, Mr. Cyber policemen?

*donut gets thrown in the jail cell*

I guess even in Cyber space, the cops like donuts…I'll know how to appease them next time.

*Hot coffee gets poured on head*

Ow…ow…ow….ow…OW! Enjoy the story!

Chapter 6: Natsu


"There it is, Happy!"

Natsu had gone off ahead of the group again with Happy flying him so he could get there faster. They were almost to what looked like a tree with a door in the base of it.

"Aye!" Happy answered as he headed towards the door.

Once there, Natsu pounded on the door so hard that it cracked a bit and almost flew off its hinges.

"What?" yelled a voice in annoyance as the door flew open and the owner of said voice appeared with her hands on her hips and an annoyed scowl on her face.

"My friend Lucy is in trouble and I need your help to get to the spirit world, Farla!" Natsu bellowed out, treating it as if it were one long word.

"Ok, I didn't get any of that," the young girl's scowl was replaced with a confused eyebrow raise, "But, I'll go get my grandma for you."

A couple seconds later, the girl came back down the stairs with an older woman, who must have been only a few years younger than Makarov.

"Are you Farla, then?" Natsu asked abruptly once she had made it down the stairs.

"Yes, yes," the old woman answered in a briny voice, "Who's asking and what do you want?"

Learning from his previous experience, Natsu slowed down the words so Farla could understand them.

"My name is Natsu. I'm a member of the guild Fairy tail and Master Makarov told me to come here because you might be able to help me get to the spirit world."

"What? Are you stupid?" The old woman sure was brutal, "You'll die there, idiot. Humans can't stay in their world long, even if they manage to get into it somehow. Now if you excuse me I have to take my bath."

Natsu shuddered at the thought of the old woman taking a bath, but stopped her regardless of the disgusting image in his head.

"My friend Lucy, who is also a spirit mage like you, was kidnapped by her zodiac spirit Capricorn and taken to the spirit world. I'm trying to get there so I can bring her back, can you please just open the gate for me?"

"Well that's very unfortunate for you," the old woman frowned, "I'm all out of magic at this old age. I can't even open the gate anymore."

"Wha-" Natsu was cut off.

"I could do it," the young girl was back by her grandmothers side with determination in her eyes, "But, what do I get in return?"

"Um…um…" Natsu fumbled around his pockets looking for anything valuable he could give her and then he heard a jingle of keys.

'Right,' he thought as he grabbed the key ring, 'Lucy left her keys when she went to the spirit world. I don't think she'd mind me giving one of them away so I can rescue her.'

"How about one of these keys?" Natsu pulled out the key ring and the girl's eyes went wide as she examined it.

"All 12 zodiac keys?" she eyed it like she might grab it and run.

"yeah," Natsu beamed proudly, "These belonged to my friend, Lucy. The one who got kidnapped. I'll give you one in return for you helping me out."

"Alright then, I want this one," she pointed to the Leo key and went to make a grab for it.

Natsu pulled them away in time.

"Any key except for that one." Loki was a part of Fairy Tail, so his key had to stay in the possession of Lucy.

"Fine. I'll have that one," she pointed to Aquarius.

'Well Lucy never really liked Aquarius even though she was the second most powerful spirit,' Natsu thought as he unhooked the key and gave it to the girl.

"Thanks," she beamed as she held out her hand to shake, "My name is Lisa. It's nice to meet you…" she trailed off, prompting him for his name.

"Natsu," he took her hand to shake it, "It's nice to meet you too. Now open the gate please!"

Natsu was in a rush obviously.

"Alright here it goes," Lisa walked outside and found a small creek, "Aquarius, gate of the water bearer, I open thee!"

There was a bright light and then the mermaid herself was there.

"What?" Aquarius screeched, "What's going on?"

"Hello Aquarius," Lisa drew her attention, "I'm your new master, Lisa. We can finish the contract later, first I need a favor."

"I'm not doing you any favors, silly girl," Aquarius bellowed, "Now if you excuse me, you called me during my date with my boyfriend."

Aquarius was about to return when Natsu grabbed her mermaid tail and hitched a ride.

With a flash, he found himself inside a house with a ton of water in it.

"What do you think you're doing to my beautiful tail!" she screeched as she used her water to flush him out of her house.

Natsu spit up a ton of water and then looked around.

"I made it!" he yelled in triumph, "Lucy, here I come!"

"Natsu?" a familiar voice called out questioningly.

Natsu looked to his left to find the most beautiful garden ever and there, under one of the trees, was Loki and Lucy having what seemed like an ordinary picnic.

The only thing that bugged Natsu, was the fact that Loki's arms were wrapped around her and they were in a pose like they were about to kiss!


AN: Sorry another cliffy!

Next chapter you'll find out what happened between Loki and Lucy. As well as, how Natsu is going to react to this new development.

Stay tuned and don't forget to review!
