Chapter 5. confession

After camp was packed up Lucy, Kane, Grey, Erza and Happy continued on their journey.

Kane leaned in closer to Lucy,

"that must have been a really bad dream last night you sure your ok?"

"yea I'm fine truth is I have been having nightmares for a long time I started to get them before you joined Fairy Tail almost every night. I talked to Levy about them, I have to go see her again she may be able to help me figure out why I have them."

"What are they about? Tell me, if nothing else I will be able to comfort you at least."

Lucy explained her dreams and how she is always falling but somehow is always woken up in time.

"Wow your very lucky if your friends hadn't of woken you, you could be dead. When you dream if you fall you will actually die if you hit ground from high enough up of course. Your brain doesn't distinguish the fantasy from reality and it will shut down. Maybe your friends subconsciously knew of the danger you were in and that's why the timing has always been just right. That's some scary stuff Lucy."

Kane reached for her hand and held it as they walked.

"I'm just glad your ok." He brought her hand up and kissed it. "I don't know what I would do now if something had of happened to you." He stopped them,

"promise me you'll watch out for yourself when I'm not around even around your friends ok?"

"Of course."

"I love you Lucy Heartfilia." He pulled her close and met her lips with his as they separated Kane looked to the sky.

"What's wrong?"

"That's strange it's clear skies, I could have sworn I heard thunder." At that moment another clasp was heard.

"I'll give you five seconds to get your hands off of her before your reduced to ash." Laxus's voice bellowed all around them.

"Laxus!" Lucy cried in shock.

Kane turned to see Laxus stepping out from the edge of the wood followed by a very pissed off Natsu. Kane dropped his hands. Laxus walked up to Lucy grabbing her by the wrist,

"what am I going to do with you blondie? You just don't seem to listen."

With that he pulled her back and stepped in front of her.

"Laxus stop this!" Lucy yelled she was about to run to Kane but was stopped by a pair of strong arms,

"Hey calm down this guy is dangerous he's playin' ya Luce."

Laxus let out a surge of lightning hitting Kane sending him flying through the air he landed skidding across the ground.

"Kane!" Lucy screamed for all she was worth "if he's hurt I'll never forgive either of you!"

Natsu froze "Luce?"

She turned to face him tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Luce I'm sorry, but..."

"What's gotten into you? Were friends Natsu why are you doing this? To hurt me?"

Natsu let her go his heart sank a little as she ran towards where Kane lay.

"Luce..."

As she pasted Laxus he caught her again by the wrist she turned to face him seeing her cry, he couldn't look her in the eye. Had this been too much?

Laxus had a very firm tone "blondie."

"Let me go Laxus I have to see if he's ok."

"I'm not letting go."

"I'll never forgive you for this." Lucy was angry.

"Yes you will."

"Are you crazy you may have just killed my boyfriend!"

"And I would do it again." Laxus almost growled he finally had the courage to look at her.

"I've sat back for too long, waited for too long and what do I get? You fall for this loser." He tightened his grip.

"Lucy I refuse to let you go I love you, if you don't feel the same that's ok and if you can never forgive me then I'll have to live with that but I'm not giving you over to him. You deserve better than that and even if I don't fit the bill I will be there for you every time no matter how you feel."

Laxus let her go and put his hand under her chin wiping her tear, he spoke softly "don't go to him."

Lucy was astonished she couldn't think, she couldn't move. Natsu even Grey and Erza (who had appeared after hearing Laxus's attack on Kane.) were dumbfounded by Laxus's confession. Lucy couldn't take it all in her head was clouded she did the only thing that was on her mind before Laxus's outburst she turned and ran to where Kane lay and knelt to the ground beside him. She touched his hand

"Kane are you ok? Please answer me."

Kane's eyes opened he moved his head slightly to look up at her, "I'll be ok, can you help me up miss Lucy?" He smiled

"sure, take it easy" Lucy helped him to his feet.

"I'm sorry Lucy I've caused you a lot of trouble."

"It's ok I'm going to take you back to the guild Wendy will be able to help you if you need it."

He smiled once more "Lucy."

Then he kissed her.

Both Natsu and Laxus stood watching, they had come to fight for Lucy and they were losing.

"Luce" Natsu's voice was barely a whisper. It then occurred to him that they may have made it worse, that Lucy might never forgive him for real. Natsu was devastated.

Lucy looked at the two boys,

"when we get back I don't want to see you, either of you please leave me alone will you do that, one last thing for me?"

She walked off without waiting for an answer. The group went ahead to the next town where finally an explanation was given from Laxus.

"The council had been monitoring a very powerful dark guild however just before they were able to raid their hideout they got news the guild members had fled. Every guild was told to be on the lookout for any suspicious persons who could potentially be members of this guild. Not two weeks after gramps had let me in on this along came that Kane guy."

"So your saying he's part of that dark guild?"

"I'm saying there's a chance he is, there is also a chance he's just your average Joe, but I don't think so."

Thinking about it all over again made Laxus angry, "I'm going after her!"

"but Laxus, Luce asked us to..."

"Do you love her?"

"What?" Natsu was taken aback.

"Lucy, do you love her?"

"Well she is my best friend and my partner so in a way I do ya."

Laxus shook his head "this is different I meant what I said I'm not giving her up at least not to someone who doesn't care about her."

Laxus got up in a rage and flew out of the room, he left determined to get to Lucy before Kane hurt her physically or emotionally.


Lucy helped Kane into her house they sat down on her bed.

"Your some girl miss Lucy." He smiled

"I've caused you so much trouble with those two, yet here you are."

Lucy sighed "of course and you haven't caused trouble it's them who have been trouble. You should get some rest I'll go find Wendy."

"No" Kane blurted out "I mean I'll be ok. Would you lay with me a while?"

"Sure."

Lucy lay down on the bed beside Kane, eventually she fell asleep and began to dream.
