Natsu's POV
I walked home thinking about what Carrot Head meant by 'they didn't know she's a Sohma'. Who was he talking about? Maybe there was someone else going with them to Sohma house, or maybe Tohru was a Sohma... they mentioned Luce too though. I felt myself growl, that guy Yuki called her Luce-chan. Only me and Ice Block can call her that Luce. I would have to be careful, I didn't want my jealousy to float everywhere.
-flashback-
"Flame Brain, what's with you? Go greet the new members, they seem really nice." I heard the Stripper's annoying voice talk to me. The Sohma's were currently talking with Luce, she was even hugging them... She would never hug me! She didn't make any physical contact with any of the guys in the guild and she's suddenly hugging these new members?!
"Nah, think I'll pass." I quietly growled when Luce hugged that Yuki guy again. "Okay Natsu. I think I get it now. You like Luce don't you? And you're jealous that she's acting really close to them?" He laughed when I immediately denied everything. Sighing, I chucked my hands up in surrender, "Fine... You caught me. I like Luce." Ice Princess turned to look at Luce, "Then you made a mistake kicking her off the team. It really affected her. She thinks we haven't noticed, but it's only you who hasn't realised."
Then it clicked. She's been acting different since we took her off the team. Now the only reason I did that was because I didn't want her to find out that I was trying to earn enough money to buy her something... I mean if I suddenly started being careful on missions she's bound to get suspicious. I collapsed in my chair, what have I done?
"You better go apologise Idiot." With that, Underwear Man walked off, leaving me to think by myself.
-end flashback-
After my talk with the Prince of Nakedness I fought Silver Boy, bringing me to where I was now. How would I tell her? She probably hates me after what I did to her.

Lucy's POV
I woke up in the morning feeling ready and refreshed. Today was the day I would be able to visit the rest of my family! I was pumped and excited! I jumped out of bed and took a quick shower to clean myself up. I flung open my closet and picked an outfit to wear back to Sohma house. Even though it was only a week long trip I packed for a month, I was hoping to be able to extend our stay as long as possible.
Clicking my bag shut, I skipped to the guild. I need to say goodbye to Levy and Wendy before I go, and anyone else who happened to be in the guild too. I also wanted to grab some breakfast, Mira makes the best food so I didn't plan to skip it. That's a good two hours to do everything before I had to be at the station.
I entered the guild and took a look around. Mira and her siblings were already there, so was Levy and Gajeel, as well as Romeo and his father sitting next to Alzack, Bisca and cute little Asuka. Master was of course sitting on the table top with a beer in hand. "Ah Lucy child! I heard you were going on vacation with the Sohma's and Tohru! Tell me dear, I know you're keeping something from us, and I intend to know what it is!"
I looked nervously at Master, indeed nothing could get past this man. I could feel the eyes of the people present burning into my head. There wasn't many at the guild, and I trusted everyone who was here... I took a deep breath, "Master. My last name is only Heartfilia from my dad's side. My mother was actually a Sohma... which makes me a Sohma too. Now normally when a Sohma is married, no matter what gender, the spouse will take up the Sohma name as well. My father didn't like the Sohma's, so he took the family away... Sorry for not telling you guys..."
I took a look at the people in the guild and they looked incredibly shocked. Bisca was staring at me wide eyed, and Gajeel had iron hanging from his mouth. I guess Master wasn't expecting that either, his beer was dribbling onto the floor. He probably thought I was in a relationship with one of the Sohma's because I already knew them so well when they first came to the guild. Oh well... It's not like I told them about the curse. "Master. Please don't tell anyone. I want to be the one to tell them myself, once I return from my vacation." Everyone nodded and promised they wouldn't tell a soul. I grinned at my loving family, "Mira! Breakfast please!" She smiled and began to make me some food, and the two hours flew by.

Wendy turned up at the guild before I left, so I was able to tell her I was a Sohma, as well as give her a tight hug and say goodbye. I checked my watch and sighed a bit before sprinting to the station. I had ended up staying at the guild longer than I intended, so it meant I needed to run fast if I wanted to get there by 10. I couldn't miss the train, I wanted to see my family again so badly, I never seem to have enough time during New Years.
I especially couldn't wait to see Hari-nii. Even at New Years I never got to see him. Father had left Hari-nii in Sohma house as he didn't want to live with two cursed people. He also knew that I would be a better asset to the company as I could be married off to someone and he would be able to get the money as well.
I shook the thoughts of my father out of my head and continued to run to the station. The little image of Haru in the distance became clearer, and I skidded to a stop next to him, taking slow breaths to steady my heart beat. "I really thought you were gonna miss the train." Haru said as the train came into sight. We all clumped into one of the booths. I took a seat between Yuki-kun and Momiji.
Sohma house wasn't close to Magnolia, it was even further than the forests on the outside of town. It was located in an area nobody knew about. Even though people knew of Sohma house, they couldn't pass through the borders, so they don't know what's inside. In fact, it was even bigger than the Heartfilia land. There was a city built close by, and that's where Tohru and the boys had attended school. Apparently Akito-nii-chan had pulled everyone out to go to Fairy Tail and find me. Luckily Master had let them in since they had advance martial arts skills that helped them even against magic users. However Tohru ended up working in the bar with Mira and Kinana.
The train rattled and I got pulled out of my thoughts. I looked at everyone, they were all asleep apart from Tohru who was reading my novel. I smiled, I was glad to be back with my family. I closed my eyes and let myself be lulled to sleep by the rocking of the train.
Tohru's POV
I looked up from Lu-chan's novel and saw her sleeping. The train jolted slightly and her head fell onto Yuki's shoulder. It was so adorable watching the two of them, and not only them either. Kisa and Hiro were leaning on each other in their sleep, and Kyo had his head on my lap as he snored away. I giggled as a loud snort erupted from Haru. I carefully took a picture of Lu-chan and Yuki, the soft click went off and I quickly put my camera away. I would have to send this to Mira-san later, she would be so happy!
-flashback-
"If anything happens between Lucy and Yuki you better be sure to tell me! I'm positive they have feelings for each other, they're so cute! They're just way too dense to realise that the other person likes them, and Yuki seems like too much of a gentleman to confess to Lucy!"
"Mira-san, it would be my pleasure."
Tired owo
I should really be sleeping but... haha oh well XD
And since I haven't finished rewriting everything, don't kill me for the awfulness of the next chapters XD
Ciao~
