Lucy's POV

I felt so happy that my family was here with me again. I hadn't told anyone in the guild that I was a Sohma, but I guess I should do that soon. I have to watch out for the curse though... I don't want to be changing into an animal, it's a little embarrassing.

Mother... What was it like when father held his child for the very first time, only to have her turn into a horse? I sighed to myself. I wonder why Aya, Hari-nii, Ritsu and Shigure didn't come. Akito-nii-chan can't come since he's the head of the house, but I wish he did. I also wish the other guys had come as well... Akito-nii-chan and I always had a close relationship though, people thought we would have become a couple once we grew up. Though when father decided that the Sohma house was a bad influence, he removed Sohma as our last name and we pick up his family name, then he moved the family out and made the Heartfilia's a huge fortune.

I miss nii-chan. He was my brother, my best friend. We were closer than I could ever be with Kyo or Yuki-kun. We did everything together, we were inseparable. That was until I moved away... nii-chan couldn't find me, father made sure of it. Yuki-kun said that nii-chan spent years looking for me. I was only 6 when I moved and he was 8, he continued to look for me until his 19th birthday. I ran away that very year.

Nii-chan. I'm going to visit you, just wait a few more days.

Yuki's POV

Luce-chan was very deep in thought. I clicked my tongue and looked at the ceiling, I may have been afraid of Akito when we were younger, but Luce-chan always had a special relationship with him, she even called him nii-chan. I should bring her back to Sohma house, but we just joined the guild a few days ago. Would it be rude to request a vacation so quickly?

"Luce-chan?" She snapped out of her daze and faced me, "Yes Yuki-kun?" "Meet me outside in five minutes, I need to tell you something." "Okay." Standing from her seat, she began to walk outside and I went to tell everyone else my plan. "So I just sent Luce-chan outside and told her that we'd meet her there. I was thinking that we should take her back to Sohma house to see Akito. Plus we also may be able to get Ayame, Hatori, Ritsu and Shigure to go too. If we're lucky, Kazuma may be visiting. I just thought that she would want to see them and the Master."

Everyone seemed to agree with my plan, it would be the best surprise for Luce-chan. She told us that she missed Sohma house a lot when she moved. 11 long years and we can finally bring her home. Those brief meetings at New Years weren't enough. We won't let her go again, I promise. Luce-chan is too beautiful to be seen crying, her smile is her most beautiful feature.

"Master?" I called out to the little old man drinking at the bar. I would have to tell him that the Sohma's and Tohru would be planning to take a vacation. "Yes Yuki my boy, what is it?" Master hobbled over and climbed onto our table so I could see him, "Can the Sohma's and Tohru take a vacation?" Master's eyes began large with surprise, "So soon? Very well you can, but why? You just joined recently, your welcome party's still booming!" He gave a throaty laugh and I smiled at him. "We need to go back to Sohma house for a bit." He seemed to understand, after all, Sohma house was a very important place.

"Hey Rat Boy." I turned and glared at the stupid, orange haired cat. "What is it Stupid Cat?" "You should mention Lucy as well, they don't know that she's a Sohma." He whispered the last part so only I could hear, although I was sure that the dragon slayers would be able to hear us. "Right. Master, Luce-chan will be coming with us."

Shock ran through the whole guild, and people began to murmur to each other. I mean it made sense... Why would we want her to come with us? I had to think of a good excuse and fast. "Um... I wanted Lu-chan to come with me so I have some company." Tohru spoke up from behind me, always one step ahead of me. Everyone knew that only Sohma's were allowed past the gate, so it made perfect sense. Though they didn't know that Luce-chan was a Sohma, nor did they know that Tohru was an exception.

"Okay then. I now grant the Sohma's, as well as Tohru and Lucy, to go on a vacation! Have fun!" Master gave us a heart warming smile as he wished us the best on our journey. "Thank you Master, we will." I bowed to Master and gestured to the others to go outside. Before I could join them I felt a hand get placed on my shoulder.

"Yo Prince! Why does Luce have to go?" I spun around to see the pink haired dragon slayer holding me back. He looked pissed beyond belief, "Well Pinky. Oh my bad, it's salmon isn't it? Maybe Happy should eat you." A snicker went through the guild and Natsu growled, preparing to punch me in the face.

I easily dodged his attacks, we Sohma's didn't use magic, but Master Kazuma taught us well enough that close combat wasn't an issue. I saw an opening and lunged forward with great speed and kicked him into the bar. I let myself smirk and walked out the door, "Weren't you listening Dragon Slayer? Tohru doesn't want to be alone while we visit Sohma house." So much for their enhanced hearing.

Lucy's POV

I tapped my foot on the ground outside, it's been over five minutes and Yuki-kun wasn't out yet. How unusual, he always keeps his word and he's never late. I took a peek inside the guild to see him having a fight with Natsu. I chuckled a little. In terms of non-magic fighting, I think Yuki-kun would win hands down. Natsu should really be more careful who he challenges... but then again, he challenges everyone.

Maybe I would be able to win against Natsu in hand to hand fighting. I laughed at my own thoughts, no probably not. Nobody in Fairy Tail knew about my training with Master Kazuma. He was the only one I had constant contact with once I left Sohma house. We agreed that he would continue to train me when he's close by, and that he would not speak a word of it to the other Sohma's. I didn't want the Sohma's to worry and I didn't want the guild to know more then they needed to, and my background as a Sohma is much more than they need to know.

I never fought with my martial arts, but that made me quite easy to defeat. I had to depend on my spirits much more, but that just made our bond stronger. All my spirits know about the Sohma's, they even know about the curse... it's just part of the contract. Capricorn even helps me with my training when Master Kazuma's not in the area, and the others continue to train me to boost my magic.

Too bad I could never fight Natsu. I would love to see his face if I manage to beat him. Ah... Yuki-kun just kicked him into the bar. As expected of Yuki-kun! He's the most skilled out of the Sohma's. The only one who might possible beat him is Hari-nii, not including Master Kazuma of course.

"Yuki-kun!" I called when they finally came out. "Ah, Luce-chan! Sorry I came out late, a silly little dragon got in my way." I laughed, it looks like he's not going to get along with Natsu. "What was it that you wanted to tell me Yuki-kun?" He smiled at me, "Well the Sohma's and Tohru have a little surprise for you!" I nodded in anticipation, Yuki-kun always gave the best gifts. "Be ready for a week long trip and meet us at the station at 10 am tomorrow! We're going back to Sohma house!"

I squealed and jumped into Yuki-kun's arms. They truly are the best people! I hugged everyone else and ran home to get packing. Hari-nii, Akito-nii-chan, I'm coming home!

Oh my goodness, chapter 2 XD

I didn't think it would be such a struggle to rewrite everything ;A;

FYI, you'll know which chapters have been updated because they won't have an A/N at the beginning of the chapter. So the non-updated ones will be crappy... XD

Ciao~
