''Natsumi... I love you...'' Said Gray, blushing while he looked into her eyes.
''G-Gray?'' She Uttered, unable to formulate words.
Gray rested his left hand on her shoulder, pulling her close, their hearts beating like crazy. Gray lowered his head, holding Natsumi's chin as he leaned in for a kiss.
''NOOO!'' Natsumi suddenly yelled out, before realizing it was all just a dream. She looked around, attempting to make sure she was really just dreaming. Sure enough, she was in Gray's room, alone. Guess Gray must be barging into Lucy's house at this hour, It was everyone's may hang out spot after all. Getting up, she headed to the bathroom to take a much needed shower.
''It's only been a week and I've already been kidnapped twice, I better get a move on.'' Natsumi said to herself.
After the shower, she returned to the bedroom to get dressed, but saw that the door that she had previously left open was closed. With caution, she slowly opened the door only to find Gray undressing. Gray fortunately didn't notice her and carried on, bending over to search for a new pair of jeans, allowing Natsumi to get a good glance at his body. Her conscience was yelling NO! at her but her mind was yelling ''YES!''. She tried to not get turned on, thinking about the times they fought over and over again, but mixing in his former Male body with the mindset she had currently only made things worse, as she rocketed across the room in a stream of blood.
''huh? someone there?'' Gray called out, but to no response, ''huh, guess it's just my imagination.''
Later that day...
''Heya Nats! We were thinking of assisting you on yuor first job, wanna come?'' asked Levy
''Nats? Listen, just call me Natsumi, I'm not comfortable with someone shortening my name.'' replied Natsumi, ''I'm just waiting for Gray.''
Suddenly, most guild members ran as a dark aura approached the table.
''And waiting to do what exactly?'' Asked Juvia, wrapped around an aura of blackness.
''Uuuhhh... nothing! I was thinking that I needed him for my first job, I mean, we are reaaal close friends you know...'' Natsumi uttered nervously.
''Friends?'' Juvia's face twisted into a psychotic smile, ''Gray-sama's only friend is me!''
Without warning, Juvia leaned onto Natsumi, attempting to strangle her.
''AND THEN YOU CAME ALONG AND TOOK HIM FROM ME! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! NEVER!''
''Shit! she's lost it! I need to get out of here!'' thought Natsumi.
''MASTER! DO SOMETHING!'' Natsumi yelled out.
''This is beyond our capabilities, we're sorry...'' Said Makorov, hiding under a table along with the rest of Fairy Tail S-class mages.
Suddenly, the doors opened, as Gray's silhouette was backed up the the light of the sun, dispelling Juvia's black aura as her rage faded, seeing her love waiting for him at the door.
''GRAY-SAMAAAAA!'' Juvia leaped from joy.
''Natsumi, I need a moment with you.'' Gray said, completely ignoring her as she feel face first into the ground.
''Your girlfriend nearly just got murdered by your crazy EX, seems like an appropriate time!'' Natsumi said in an annoyed tone.
Gray's face went from casual to serious.
''Now.''
Natsumi knew that what he wanted to talk about must be serious business, so she immediately got up as the two headed towards the table where Lucy just so happened to be waiting them at.
''So, what is it that's so important that so literally just batted an eye watching your girlfriend get strangled by Crazy Rain Yandere over there?'' asked Natsumi.
Lucy looked at Gray.
''Should we really tell her?'' asked Lucy.
Gray nodded. And so, Gray delivered something that he never thought he would say. Not because he never would have done it, but because he always wanted to do it in the back of his head.
''I was thinking about ''killing'' you.''
Natsumi's heart went completely still after hearing the news.
''W-what do you mean?''asked Natsumi.
Gray sighed.
''Natsumi... I like you the way you are now, Our whole team is feels closer than ever! We never had a fight, not even an argument, you're starting to rely on me more and more and I'm starting to care about you more and more. Not only that, but our jobs can end with much less destruction and we might actually start to really earn money, instead of spending it all on damage repairs and food. Erza's will be several times less hard on you, you can finally start showering with Lucy without making things awkward and further more... I'll actually be happy to work alongside you. It's as if this was the team we were meant to have!'' said Gray.
Natsumi couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Gray continued...
''So, since the whole guild thinks that you, or should I say ''Natsu'' is on a long journey on an attempt to find Igneel, we can make up the fact that you, or at least ''Natsu'' died during his search! All we need to do is...''
Before Gray could finish, Natsumi slapped Gray across the face.
''I CAN'T BELIEVE SUCH WORDS ARE COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH?! HAVE YOU NO CONSIDERATION?!'' Natsumi yelled at the top of her lungs and tear leaked down her face.
''Natsumi, is everything alright?!'' asked Levy, running towards the gang to see what's going on.
''Get out of my way Levy!'' Natsumi cried as she pushed Levy aside, before running out of the guild.
''What happened?! Did Gray and Natsumi get into a fight?!'' And other such phrases were hearing as the whole guild was in confusion of what happened. Levy ran towards Gray, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, stroking the slap mark running down his cheek.
''What did you tell her? What happened Gray?'' Levy questioned.
Gray didn't answer, he just sat there with a blank expression, trying to hold back is tears.
''Lucy?'' Levy turned her attention to her, but to no response.
''I can tell you what happened, not at least what I got.'' said Wendy, running in to heal Gray's bruised up face, ''So tell me, Gray, is that girl really Natsu?''
''I can't believe them!'' Natsumi yelled out as rain drops fell from the sky.
''Natsu!'' yelled a familiar voice, it was Happy!(Whom I totally forgot about, I'm sorry!''
''Happy...'' Natsumi said while hugging the only buddy she had left, ''At least I still have you.''
''Natsu...'' Happy hugged her tight, ''I won't let those heartless bastard decide your fate! come on! Let's go to Impel down and save Bon Clay!''
''You think we can take them alone?'' asked Natsumi
''Of course! But I brought some friends just in case!'' said Happy.
''Who?'' asked Natsumi.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared over them as an umbrella stopped the rain from further wetting the two, as Natsumi looked up, she recognized her allies very well.
''Come on princess! we got a fugitive to bust out!'' said Sting.
