*sorry about the fight scene again...i can't describe that stuff so...on with the fic

(Natsu's POV)

I gasped at who stood in front of me. How did he know where I was? How did he know that I was in danger? I saw the lightning go through him and he was blown back into the tree a few feet to my left. I looked up at Laxus; he was as shocked as I was.

"You little punk; where the hell did you come from?" Laxus yelled. I looked over at him and he shakily looked up at me; his long; dark black hair was a mess from the impact and shock and he blew it out of his face.

"Get him Natsu." He yelled to me. My eyes were wide; this was just like last time. He did the same thing last time.

"How did you know we were here?" I asked.

He smirked; "Let's just say the cheerleader got to me just in time." He said. I silently gasped and stood up from my spot on the ground. I looked over at Lucy and Erza. Lucy had a bright smile on her.

"Get him Natsu." Lucy said. I looked back at Laxus; my eyes sharp with anger.

"This is it Laxus. I'm not going to hold back any longer." I said. I could feel my flames as they began to engulf my body. I clenched my fists as I began to walk towards him. The earth felt as if it began to shake. Laxus seemed surprised; my power was growing by the second and he began to step back.

"Where is all of this power coming from?" He asked. I glared at him and my flames grew higher.

"People who mess with me; my husband or my friends will pay for what they have done." I said. His eyes widened I looked back at the others. "I'm not the immature child I once was Laxus. I'm an adult who's responsible and takes care of all of my friends and family." I looked back at Laxus. "However; you on the other hand haven't outgrown your rebellious and immature phase as we had thought. Now; I think I might as well teach you that now." I cracked my knuckles and smirked. I jumped into the air and put my hands to my lips.

"Fire Dragon Roar." I yelled. Fire spouted from my mouth and made its way towards Laxus. The fire connected and I used this time to start my next attack. I put my hands over my head and let the fire collect into one large sphere. I watched as the fire collected into a large ball of fire and I brought my knees closer to my chest. "Fire dragon's brilliant flame." I launched the fire towards Laxus and he was blasted in the chest with fire. He flew back a few feet but was still standing. I came down on him and brought my flames to my arm. Once I was close enough I grabbed his arm and brought my arm down on him. He started to fall back and I used my final attack. I ignited my elbow and brought up my fist. It connected to his chin and he was launched into the air. I landed on my feet and I watched as Laxus landed on his back; he was knocked out. I took a moment to catch my breath. I walked over to Laxus and stood over him. "Mess with anyone again and I'll make sure you're punished worse than this." I turned back to others; they seemed amazed at me. I smiled at them as I felt my legs begin to weaken. I fell to my knees and I felt myself begin to fall. I closed my eyes and hit the grass below.

"Natsu." Gray called out to me.

(Gray's POV)

"Natsu." I yelled. I ran to him in panic as he began to fall. I brought my arms out to him and he fell into my chest. His breathing was peaceful as soon as he laid his head on my chest. I smiled and held him close. Natsu. You're so incredible. You risk your life for your friends no matter the opponent. You can be so stupid sometimes. He could have killed you.

"Gray." Lucy said. I looked over at her as she kneeled down next to us. "We should get him back to the guild to rest up."

"Good idea." I said.

"By the way." Erza said. I looked over at her as she walked over with an injured Gajeel. "Where's Lisanna?"

We heard laughing and I looked around. "Who's there?" I asked. The laughing got louder and now the trees began to rustle. I stood up with Natsu in my arm. I have to protect him at all costs. Lucy was busy taking out her spirit keys to look around and she quickly summoned one of her spirits. I put a hand over my eyes as the light blinded me.

"Hey princess." A voice said.

"It's good to see you Loke but now is not the time." Lucy said. He nodded; "I need you to get Natsu out of here." I looked back at them and Loke bowed to her.

"Of course Princess." He said. I handed Natsu over to Loke and Loke quickly left the forest and back to the guild.

I took a deep breath and began to look around. "Now that Natsu is gone I can take you out." A voice said. I turned around to see a bloody Lisanna. She held her chest; blood soaked her hand as it dripped into the grass.

"Lisanna! How are you able to move so easily?" Erza asked.

She smirked; "It takes more than that to keep me down." She said. She brought out her sharp claws and looked back at me. "My claws are itching to see you suffer for taking My Natsu from me."

"He was never yours to begin with. He's not an object." I said.

She groaned; "Don't you think I know that. He was my childhood love interest not you. All you did was fight and I was the one who nurse him back to health all of those times before I was gone. Now all you two do is take on missions and have sex." She said. I blushed and the others just snickered. "This isn't funny guys. Natsu isn't like that."

"How would you know what he likes in a relationship?" I asked. She looked back at me. "Natsu loves to take on missions and help people. That other part is private so I'm not going to bring that up."

She growled; "Shut up. Natsu deserves a woman in his life to support him. He shouldn't have his rival be the one to spend the rest of his life with. That will just lead to problems." She said.

"How would you know that?" I asked. "Our relationship is perfectly fine as it is. The only problem that we have is that you and Laxus keep interfering."

She looked down at the ground and her claws began to grow in anger. She began to shake and tears began to escape from her eyes. "You don't know anything." She screamed. She jumped into the air; her claws out behind her back. She shot her hand out on front of me and her claws hit my chest. The claws began to dig in and sink into my skin. I gasped as the blood began to escape from my wounds. She began to forcibly dig them into me as the others tried to get her off of me without hurting me too much.

"Lisanna stop." A voice yelled. She gasped and turned to look over her shoulder. Standing behind all of us was a very shocked Mirajane. "Lisanna what are you doing?"

She stared at her before looking back at me. She closed her eyes and quickly ripped the claws out of my chest. I screamed and held my chest as she stood up.

"Big sister Mira. This is not what it looks like." She said. Mira ran over to us and she turned Lisanna around to face her. She gasped when she saw her large wound.

"Lisanna what happened to you? What's going on here?" She asked frantically.

"Mira; this doesn't involve you." Lisanna said. She hissed and grabbed her stomach as the blood began to pour again.

"Lisanna." Mira screamed. Lisanna began to shift back and forth. She closed her eyes and began to fall forwards and Mira quickly caught her. "Lisanna." I stood up from the grass; my chest covered in ice that I used to cover my wounds.

"We need to get back to the guild hall. She needs medical attention." Erza said.

I looked back at the unconscious Laxus. "What about Laxus?" I asked.

"I'll have someone come by and get him. He probably won't be moving any time soon." Mira said. I nodded and we started back towards the guild.

Later

(Natsu's POV)

I groaned and slowly began to open my eyes. Where am I? The last thing I remember is fighting Laxus. I slowly sat up and looked around. It looked familiar. I looked over at the bed next to mine and I saw Lisanna. She looked like she was unconscious and from the wound on her chest that would explain why.

"What's going on?" I asked myself.

"Oh I see you're finally awake." A voice said. I looked over at the door to see Gray. I smiled as he walked inside. He sat down in the chair next to my bed. He leaned in and kissed my forehead and I noticed a glimpse of white under her shirt. I frowned and I grabbed the ends of his shirt and began to lift it up. A large white bandage hugged his chest.

"Gray; what happened?" I asked sadly.

He sighed; "Lisanna but I'll be alright. I've been through worse." He said. I wrapped my arms around his waist lightly and put my head on his upper chest.

"I'm sorry this happened to you." I said.

"It's not your fault." He said.

"It is my fault." I said.

"How is this your fault?" He asked.

"If I had been able to help you with Lisanna then none of this would have happened." I said.

"No; Lisanna got her hit on me from my own timing. I wasn't fast enough to get out of the way from her speed." He said.

"Maybe but I could have stopped her." I said.

"Natsu; just let it go. She didn't hit anything so that's the important thing." He said. I took a deep breath and looked him in the eye.

"Alright; if you really want me to then I will." I said. "I just hope this is over." I said.

We heard a groan from behind me and I looked over my shoulder. It was Lisanna; she was waking up. I let go of Gray and he stood up. She opened her eyes and hissed in pain. She held her stomach and looked over in our direction. She just stared at us for a minute before sharpening her eyes. "You did this to me." She whispered. Gray lowered his head and I frowned.

"Lisanna look." I said.

"No you look." She said. I nodded and she slowly began to sit up. "I've had enough of this. Just tell me you love me and we can put all of this behind us."

"Lisanna." I sighed.

Her eyes saddened; her tears beginning to fall. "Say it." She screamed. She shot up and grabbed the collar of my shirt. "Tell me you love me."
