Heythere minna! I have a very brand new chapter (Chapter 5) of Turn Your Head with me! And for our guest today…
Levy!
IW: So, Levy I-
Levy: Hey, I don't suppose you've got any good books for me? I've been meaning to read a few about hmm… what was it again? Oh yeah, different monsters in different areas. I thought I could help a bit more when I go on quests, find each monster's weakness.
IW: Err… Levy, I called you here for you to do the disclaimer… and maybe ask a few questions, not give you books.
Levy: You're so mean! Fine. IsolatedWilderness does NOT own Fairy Tail, and never will because she didn't give me any books! Happy now? *pouts*
IW: Hai, hai! Now, before I let you go, who do you like? It seemed that in quite a few episodes, you were… affectionate with Gajeel!
Levy: Geez! Don't be so outright! No-one's listening right?! *whispers* I do like Gajeel.
IW: Squeal! I knew it!
Levy: Hey, snap out of it! Are you okay? *waves hand in front of face*
IW: Huh? No! Was it just my imagination?
Levy: I don't know what you're talking about, but you were yelling stuff about GaLe, whatever that is.
IW: NOOO!
Chapter 5- What happens when your magic gets drained
"I know what's wrong with her. Get Natsu, Now. This is an order." Makarov said sternly.
"Hai!" Erza ran off, towards Lucy's home. As she ran, she muttered things to herself, about how that idiot always slept in so late. But in truth, she was worried about Natsu. How would he react when he saw Lucy in such a condition? No doubt he would zip out of the room, trying to find whoever did this, assuming that someone actually did do this. There was always the possibility that she was attacked by a monster and ended up like this. Erza cursed herself for not being there for Lucy. Was this was nakama did? Leave their friends behind to do a job? Speaking of that, why didn't Lucy come with them in the first place? Team Natsu was one consisting of Erza, Gray, Natsu, Happy and Lucy. So… why didn't she come with them? Erza frowned usually she remembered everything, having impeccable memory. But when she tried to remember the time when Natsu picked a job, everything was cloudy and vague. She couldn't really remember what happened that day, and it annoyed her to no end. Erza urged herself to calm down. It was just a coincidence, nothing important. No-one is perfect, and so what, if she couldn't remember one day?
Erza shook her head. She then noticed that she had slowed to a walk and began to run again. She soon reached Lucy's home, slightly chuckling as she imagined Natsu lying on Lucy's bed, still in dreamland. But that soon ceased as she remembered Lucy, panting and sweating bullets. Erza clenched her teeth, vowing to find out who did this.
When Erza arrived at Lucy's room, (don't ask about how she got in) she found Natsu, as expected, sprawled out comfortably on her bed. Erza kicked him on the leg, and he bolted up.
"Huh? What? Is there a fight?" Natsu yelled. Erza grasped his arm and proceeded to drag him out of the house and into the streets. By then Natsu was fully awake but was still being dragged along by Erza. She shoved Natsu into the guild hall and presented him to Makarov.
"Wendy. How's it going?" Erza asked.
"I-I'm sorry, I couldn't do anything to help Lucy-san! I'm sorry!" Wendy rushed.
"That's okay Wendy. But tell me, what's wrong with her?"
"A-ano, it seems that Lucy-san's arm turned green because there is a creature draining her magic out of her body." Wendy stuttered.
"What?!" That remark was made by Natsu, who had apparently been listening to Erza's and Wendy's exchange. Erza sighed.
"Natsu, Gray found Lucy in her room, lying on the ground, unconscious. And as you heard right now, there is a creature draining her magic out of her body. We don't know how to help her, because even Wendy can't do anything." Erza explained.
"I'm sorry!" Wendy interjected.
"Can't you just get that old lady who lived in the woods?" Natsu said as if it was obvious.
"OH YEAH!" This was shouted by everyone who was currently listening, which was basically everyone in the guild. Instantly jabbers filled the room.
"Why didn't we think of that?"
"It was so obvious!"
"Does that mean that Natsu is smarter than us? No way!"
"Flame for brains finally thought of a good idea, for the first time in his idiotic life." This snide comment was from no other than Gray.
"Jet get Porlyusica, now!" Makarov yelled over the din. Jet nodded in agreement and zipped off, leaving nothing behind but dust, and a glass of beer that was about to land on his head.
Jet shuddered as he raced through the woods. From what he heard this 'Porlyusica' is super scary and hates humans though she is one also. He was about to open the door to the house where the lady lived, when it opened by itself. Jet scratched his head. He looked around the house. Now where was-
He was cut short by a broom which whacked his head harshly, making Jet shout in surprise. He then saw a pink-haired lady, definitely Porlyusica.
Porlyusica sniffed, hitting the broom against her palm.
"Why are there always dirty humans in my house? Get out, NOW, you filthy human!" She yelled, waving the broom around like a madwoman.
"Wait! Our friend in our guild, Fairy Tail, she's got this weird thing in her body, precisely her arm, which is sapping her magic away! Please help her!" Jet shouted, dodging the broomstick. The waving ceased.
"Who is this girl?"
"Her name is Lucy; you helped her in the Grand Magic Games. She's got blonde hair and is friends with-"Jet was interrupted by Porlyusica.
"I know who she is! You don't need to describe every little tidbit to me! Now shut up and leave! I will be following shortly." Porlyusica once again jabbed her broomstick at poor Jet, who happily left, thankful to be away from Porlyusica. Jet shook his head as he sprinted back to the guild to inform Makarov.
As soon as Jet entered the guild hall, he noticed that Lucy wasn't where she was before. He assumed that they had moved her to the infirmary. Makarov raised his head to look at Jet.
"Well?" Makarov questioned.
"She's coming now." Jet answered.
Just as if waiting for that sentence, Porlyusica came in, wearing a deep scowl.
"Where is she?" Porlyusica never bothered for introductions or things like that. She got straight to the point.
"In the infirmary." Makarov replied. Porlyusica gave a small nod, and headed to the infirmary in the back. She's been there a few times before, and now knows her way. Team Natsu, along with Team Shadow Gear, a reluctant Gajeel and a few other people followed her.
Porlyusica soon set to work, all the while muttering things under her breath. When she was halfway through concocting a remedy for Lucy (How did she even get the ingredients?), she abruptly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Someone voiced everyone's thoughts.
"I can't make a cure for this. I can only give the girl a potion for replenishing her magic power quickly, and one for stopping the magic that is flowing out of her as much as possible. I can't cure everything, you know."
"W-what? You have to!" Natsu bust out. Erza and Gray nodded in agreement, but Porlyusica merely sniffed.
"I don't have to do anything. I am doing what I can, and you'd best respect that unless you want me to just leave the girl like this!" Porlyusica said in a warning undertone. Natsu clenched his fists in anger and annoyance, suppressing the overwhelming urge to punch the pink-haired lady. Erza looked mildly annoyed, as did Gray, but she was too worried about Lucy to care about the tension that was thick in the air. Porlyusica turned back around and started brewing the potions again.
"What are you still doing in here? Get out, get out, get out! Hurry up!" Porlyusica forced them out of the room and dusted her hands off.
Around fifteen minutes later, Porlyusica had finished the potions and was about to pour it into Lucy's mouth, when Natsu stood up, entered the Infirmary, and walked over to Lucy's side.
"I'll do it." Porlyusica looked at him, and saw his forlorn and worried face, and relented.
"Fine." Porlyusica handed him the first of the two potions. Erza noticed Natsu's mood and quickly ushered a confused Gray out. Porlyusica huffed, but complied with Erza's silent request and followed suit. Natsu didn't notice anything and concentrated on gently opening Lucy's mouth and pouring the potion's contents into it. When he finished, he grabbed the next potion and mimicked what he did before. Uncharacteristically, Natsu set the bottle down gently. He raised a hesitant hand before lowering it onto Lucy's silky blonde hair.
Natsu surprised himself at this motion. What did he just do? But it seemed so natural, so… right. Natsu felt warmth spread from his fingers, and the pleasant feeling traveled up his arm, until it reached his heart. He shivered, but not out of fear. He repeated the motion. Natsu cocked his head to the side, not understanding the emotion that he was feeling right now. What was it? This warm, fuzzy feeling that spread throughout his entire being, soul and heart.
From outside the door, a certain female, giggling, white-haired, blue-eyed person with the first name Mirajane watched this scene with hearts in her eyes.
