Possession

"Don't go taking what's mine" He said, making my heart skip a beat and then at that very moment I realized that this is not a matter of forever its the matter for an eternity. Especially when time started flowing the wrong way and it was too late when I realized that I've fallen a lot more deeper than I thought.

Chapter 3: Rejection

"Moving on without her is like telling me to forget her and forgetting her will never be an option."

Three months have passed since the sudden disappearance of their precious nakama and guild mate, Lucy Heartfilia and its also been three months since the four of them went to the guild. Of course Mira and the others from Fairy Tail are worried about them but under Master's orders they are not allowed to talk or force them to go to the guild because he wants them to come to the guild with their own free will.

"Sigh, I still can't believe what happened to Lucy" Wakaba said "Everything change since she's gone"

"Shhhh!" Macao said as he sneakily look worriedly at the other guild members. Since then Cana stop drinking alcoholic beverages, Levy hasn't read any books, Wendy hasn't been smiling ever since, Mira has always been looking at the door waiting for the blonde haired mage and yes, even Juvia...she hasn't been chasing Gray. In short everything change.

"Macao..." Wakaba said, his eyes widening in shock.

"Tch. What?" Macao asked then he look at where Wakaba is pointing and his eyes widen in shocked!

"Master!" Macao exclaimed as he rush off towards the Master's office.

"What's the noise all about?" Makarov asked.

"Na...Natsu and the others are here!" He said.

"Hmm..I see." Makarov said as he walk towards the guild entrance.

"Gramps." Natsu said. Usually he'd be making a mess around the guild destroying and yelling around but this time he just walked inside the guild and speak in a low voice. His onyx eyes, turned darker and his goofy grin is now gone.

"I see you've come Natsu" The master said, of course he noticed it immediately. The sadness, the pain and longing for the celestial mage.

"Master" Erza said as she step forward "I apologize for not being in the guild for three months now"

"Yeah. Its okay. I understand" Yes, he understand in perfectly well. Though the fierceness in her voice and actions are showing the despair over the dear friend she just lost is visible in her eyes.

Gray on the other hand just gave the old man a nod as a sign of greetings, He knew it then that the loneliness and regret of the ice mage is still visible from its expression and he knows that the ice mage is afraid that his voice might show it if he speak a word.

Happy? Well he just wave his small paw in front of the guild master and without another word he just headed towards the counter to where Mira is. Though he is small, the pain and the emptiness he carries inside him is big because the moment the blonde mage left...it seems like even his happiness was taken away.

Mira seeing the blue cat, just gave it a tight hug as she continue to sob silently at the counter. Of course Natsu and the others can hear it but they decided not to look at their crying face. Because he's afraid that he might breakdown right in front of them and they sure don't want them to see the burden they carry since after three months they finally decided to go to the guild together, just to show their faces...taking missions right now seems impossible for them.

Everyone from the guild were staring at the four of them, Gray, Natsu and Erza just went to their usual tables. Natsu sitting across Gray and Erza sitting besides Natsu. Mira who saw them going towards their usual area, smiled for a little and prepared the usual breakfast menu for them and brought it to them. For Natsu its Meat and Fire, for Gray is Roast Chicken and a glass of carbonated frizzle juice for Erza its a triple layered strawberry cake and ice cream soda.

But the moment when Mira unconsciously placed another set of food besides Gray, A clubhouse sandwich with potato balls and hot coffee. The five of them were in silence, the gloomy atmosphere continue to grow gloomier at the sight of the food besides Gray. Beside Gray...thats where the celestial mage always sit, just across Natsu. The two of them were always fighting because, every time, every meal Lucy orders Natsu will alway try to take a bite from it. Of course every time it happens there's chaos in their table.

Natsu and Gray's mood darkens as Erza was on the verge of tearing up again, but thanks with her bangs she was able to cover it and immediately wipes them away. "Mira..." Gray said, his hair covering his eyes as he tries to avoid the mix emotions he feels. "Hmmm? What...?" Mira aksed, oblivious to what she had just done. Well you can't blame her...for that table, it's always been used by TEAM NATSU...and for their breakfast its always the usual menu she always brought over to their table.

"The sandwiches." Natsu said, staring at the food the blond haired mage usually eat, it should always be her and those sandwiches across him but now...its only the sandwiches...without her.

Mira eyes widen as she gasp at what she have just done. Unable to take it anymore her tears become visible to them as she ran away from them. "Err...Gray, Natsu...want me to take it out?" Elfman asked, as he try his best to break the gloomy and awkwardness at their table and at the guild.

"..."

"Er..Okay..I'll just take it and throw it away" Elman said, not really understanding his words, as he immediately gets up from his table and get the plate of sandwiches but just before he can leave, Natsu stood up and said "Just leave it there"

"Eh...but..."

"Its fine.." Natsu said with a stoic face.

"O..oh okay. I..Its manly if you eat a lot!" Elman said as he try to laugh at the situation but still nothing. The pink haired lad just stood there and place the plate of sandwiches back to its place.

Then the three of them started to eat in silence, not a word can be hear from them only the sounds of clanking plates, spoon and fork. While the other guild members just stared at them in silence, eating their food...awkwardly.

"Happy, you want this fish?" Cana asked, smiling sadly as she offers the blue cat a big platter of fish "Its just caught this morning."

Only to be responded by a shake of head from him. "You sure? Its still fresh you know"

"No thank you" Happy said as he slumped on the counter table with a glass of milk at hand "The last time I ate freshly caught fish is when Lucy and I went to river street. I...don't really feel like eating fresh fishes anymore."

"Mm...I'm sorry" Cana said as she placed down the platter of fish. Of course everyone from the guild heard what Happy said and just like Happy, Cana doesn't feel like drinking any alcoholic beverages. Because a certain celestial mage has been nagging her not to drink too much and since that day, she can't drink, not even a single drop. Because for her Lucy was a special friend. Sure she's been the longest in the guild, but it was Lucy Heartfilia, the very first person she ever told about her secret.

She was the only one who worried for her like a real friend during the time of the S-class mage. She was the only one who helped her in her miserable times, she's the first person to make her realized the importance of friends. She abandoned her for the title of S-class mage but Lucy never abandoned her in her saddest and weakest times that is why she abandoned the test to save her.

How Ironic isn't it? She thought to herself. For a long time now she's been wanting that S-class mage title, she was even ready to abandon her friends for it but with the thought of losing such a dear friend she decided to quit the exam and save her. She wants the title so much because she thinks it might gave her the courage to tell her father about her. But she was wrong, in the end it was Lucy who gave her the courage to tell Gildarts everything. Everything is because of Lucy and now that person is gone, just when she's about to tell her a lot of girl talk...the master had just to announce her death. The pain and shock of losing such a wonderful person made her unable to drink a single drop of beer.

Meanwhile Levy who has been sitting on one of the table sat there quietly as she look at Natsu's table. Before she'll be going there to chat with Lucy, may it be books or boys it was always Lucy who listened to her. Out of this guild, Lucy was the only one she's been close with. Their likes and dislike are so much alike and the way how honest and straightforward Lucy was one of the things that she like about her.

But now just looking at Natsu's table made her even realize that Lucy is gone. That place is now empty. And just like that seat her love for books is gone, together with Lucy. "Levy..." Jet said, making her stop from her thoughts "I'm fine" She said "Ye..yeah. You're fine right? Levy's fine!" Droy said as he tries to cheer up the blue haired mage. "Yeah, I'll be fine"

The awkwardness around the guild didn't stop there, no one can speak a word, no can say it out loud but they know it themselves. They perfectly know how much wounded the guild has become but no one dares to say it, because they know some of them can never move on. Yes, some of them are in pain but not all of them and one of them is...

"Waaaah! Natsu!" energetically exclaimed by a short-white haired girl as she dashes towards the pink haired mage and tackled him into a hug. "Gosh! I miss you!"

"..."

"Hey! Natsu! what have you've been doing for the last three months?" She said as she pouts and batted her eyelashes in flirty way. "Did you know how much I miss you!"

"..."

Gray, Erza and Natsu just continue eating their food, ignoring her while Levy, Cana, Wendy, Juvia, Charle were glaring at her and the others? Well lets just say they are just simply watching as the drama continues.

"AH!" She exclaimed "There's an extra seat! Gray can I sit beside you?"

"..."

"Okaaaay, so silence means yes" she exclaimed as she cheerfully sat besides Gray without any approval from the lad.

"Anyway, since you guys are missing a member now, Why don't I go and take that place?" She asked, well to be exact she asked while looking only at Natsu.

"..."

"We can go on missions together! Now that she's finally gone! You guys don't need to keep up with her plus she's weak and I'm strong!" She said as she squealed in delight "I'll be much more useful to you than that baggage!"

Okay right now, Levy, Cana, Wendy, Juvia and Charle are giving her deathly glares and if glares can kill then I bet she'll be given death for five time in a row. Since they received the news about her gone, She's been showing more and more of her true colors and though at first they can not believe that the real her is like that. Sure she can act flirty to whoever she wants but talking about Lucy like that...unforgivable.

"Please Natsu..Pretty please" She said with a disgusting puppy dog eyes. "Please Erza, Gray. Happy you'll be fine with it right?"

Erza, Gray and Happy were quiet. Of course they're doing their best to shut their mouths and try to be patient towards her because in the end she's a fairy tail member and she's their childhood friend.

"Come on guys! Now is the perfect chance" She exclaimed "I mean you know, now that she died because she's weak now you can ask me to join your team. So there's no need for you to hold back because now you won't be hurting her feelings..."

"Lisanna." Natsu said.

Macao, Wakaba and the others realized the sudden increase in temperature. Erza and Gray has been giving of killing intent and Natsu...he's been clenching his fist under the table.

"What? You finally agree?" Lisanna said with big, gleeful eyes.

"No" Natsu said. "None of us would never agree to it"

"Eeeeh? But why?" Lisanna said as she continue to act cute to Natsu.

"..."

"Oooh! Sandwiches!" Lisanna said as she notice the meal in front of her is still untouched "No one's eating this?"

"..."

"Oh wait Maybe its for me!" She said "Thanks Natsu...you even bought me a meal. Its really a good thing since I haven't eaten breakfast"

"..."

The temperature continue to increased until 50 degrees, the drinks from other table started to boil, the spoon and fork started to melt around those tables near Natsu.

"Uh-oh" They thought as they immediately back away towards Cana and the others.

"Hey! Guys move! Its cramp here!" She exclaimed.

"No...This is the only part of the guild where its temperature is normal." They said. Well true, Wendy and Juvia has been casting spells around the bar area because they sure don't want to see melted cups and stuff.

"It sure is getting hot in here right Natsu?" Lisanna said as she open up the first three button of her shirt in hope to seduce the pink haired mage. Oh boy if she only knew it.

"..."

"Oh well I guess I'll eat. I'm starving!" She said while smiling, then as she grab a piece of sandwich, the temperature increased by twofold making Wendy and Juvia's spell useless. Erza has her sword ready, and Gray...he's ready...from the moment she sat beside him, an ice-sword is ready. Lisanna opened her mouth and was about to eat the sandwiches meant for her...and without wasting another second, Happy flew over and grab the sandwich from Lisanna's hands.

"Aaaaah...-!?" Lisanna was shocked to see the blue cat grabbing the sandwich from her. "Happy! Why the heck did you do that!?"

"But...but this..."

"Those are my sandwiches, I'm hungry so I'm eating it!" She exclaimed as she pull the sandwiches from Happy.

"NO! This is not yours Lisanna!" He said with teary eyes.

"No! its mine! Besides Gray and the others said that no one owns this!" She said while glaring at Happy

"No! Lucy! Lucy always eat this sandwiches! Its Lucy's!" He exclaimed as tears continue to fall.

"Haaah? She's dead isn't she!?" She said, scoffing off at him

"She's not! She's just gone!"

"No Happy she's dead besides a bitch like her deserves to die!" Lisanna said as she laugh "Don't you think so Natsu?"

"..."

That's it. Natsu thought. He had enough, sure Lisanna is an important friend but can't take it anymore.

"Shit." Cana said as she saw Gray,Erza and Natsu's expression. "Wendy! Hurry up and Call Mira! She's at the back door!"

"O..Oh okay" Wendy said as she immediately dashes off towards Mira.

"Elfman! Stop her!" Cana exclaimed "If this continue she might be killed!"

"I..I know." Elfman said as he dashes towards them "Lisanna...stop it! Stop talking anymore"

"Haah? What are you talking about Elf-niichan" She said "Why would I stop its the truth anyway!"

"Stooop...before you...!" Elfman was suddenly stop when Gray suddenly put an ice barrier around them. "Nng..Gray stop!"

"..."

"Lisanna, no one can replace Lucy. no one" Natsu said as he stood up and looked at her. An expression she hasn't seen, an expression that no one has seen. Maybe even Natsu, himself thought that who could have thought that he'll be able to look at a guild mate like this. Who could have thought that he'll be feeling so much hatred towards Lisanna, a close friend of his.

"Wha...what's with you..Natsu..." Lisanna said as tremble in fear. "Gray! Erza help me!"

Gray and Erza didn't even look at her instead they just continue eating with their weapon on the other hand of course

"Stop talking about Lucy like that!" Natsu said, with his onyx eyes piercing through her.

"Wha..why? I'm not wrong! Besides that bitch is just a replacement for me because you guys thought that I di...-"

*SLAP*

What just happend?

The rest of the guild are shocked even Natsu, Gray and Erza.

"Mi...Mira-nee..." Lisanna said as she touch her red right cheek.

Mirajane, just slap her!

Mirajane who spoils her little sister...she just slap her!
"Wh...why...even...you...towards that...bitch!" Lisanna exclaimed

"You're wrong! Even though you're my precious little sister I don't want you to talk to Lucy like that!" Mira exclaimed "Lucy's been like an irreplaceable family for me and she's not a replacement for you. Just like you...no one can replace you."

"Mi..Mira-nee but...you slap me" She said while crying. Mira knows it all too well, if she hadn't slap her...Lisanna might be dead now with Erza, Gray and Natsu attacking?

"You should apologize to Happy, to them" Mra said "You've hurt their feelings"

"I...I won't!" Lisanna exclaimed as she stood up. "Natsu! Why!? Why can't you just forget about her and move on!?" She exclaimed with tears streaming down her eyes.

"..."

"Natsu! Answer me!" She exclaimed "The way you guys are...right now...you're nothing but frozen deep to your time! You guys should just move on!"

"How...how do you expect me to do that!" Natsu exclaimed, with his pent up anger and loneliness pouring

"I'm here! Natsu!" She said.

"With you?" Natsu said as he scoffed at her making the white haired girl blush in embarrassment

" You see...Moving on is like telling me to forget her and forgetting her will never be an option" He said and with a last glance at her, she slumped down the floor with her heart broken as she realize that he can never love her. Never.

I must say this is one long chapter. -_-

Anyway how is it? Should I continue?
