Hello!

I'm back with another chapter!

Thanks for your suggestions and reviews!

FYI: When Lucy say her family it's Sohma's plus Tohru!

Gray's POV

I carefully thought about the plan. Over and over, until there were no flaws that occurred in my head. It was simple, but if not executed properly, it could lead to a loss of friendship, guild members and plain confusion to everyone else. Levy, Gajeel and I have been watching the Sohma's since they've come back from their vacation. They arrived at the guild three days ago, nothing strange had happened. There was nothing out of the ordinary. We agreed that we should wait longer, until I spotted something strange happening outside the shopping district last night.

~flashback~

"Yuki! I just can't hold my feelings back any longer!" The girl whispered softly, though loud enough for me to hear from where I was standing. Now I wasn't one to snoop around, but this could actually help to find the solution... I hid behind the wall nearby and listened carefully. Yuki didn't show any emotion towards the girl. She was wearing what looked like a high school uniform... That high school is back where the Sohma estate is... What is a girl from that school doing down here?

"I've liked you for a long time, Yuki. Since we entered middle school together! Yuki! Please accept my heart!" I watched as the girl leaped towards Yuki. His eyes widened and he grabbed her head on both sides, stopping her from coming into closer contact, "I'm... I'm sorry..." Yuki replied before slowly releasing her head. Silent tears began to trickle down the sides of the girls face. Yuki apologised once more then turned to walk away. I stayed a little longer to hear the girl speak to herself in pain, "Why... What is stopping you? You don't get close to anyone... Are we normal girls not good enough?"

I left the scene and thought about what I saw. He had quick reflexes, and seemed to be used to confessions like this... but he panicked... When the girl went to hug him... He panicked...

~flashback end~

What I saw that day brought me to the conclusion that it had something to do with the opposite sex. Luce doesn't get close to any boys except the Sohma's, and Yuki stopped that girl from hugging him, but not before a slight panic. When I told the others about my discovery, we decided to test this theory out. I was to hug Luce, or sling my arm around her, or fall on her, anything that would force us into close contact. We agreed that we can't do this when there were others around, seeing as only Levy, Gajeel, Master and I know about our research.

I sighed out in frustration... She was always around the Sohma's or someone else in the guild. I've never been able to catch her by herself... I know what you're thinking. If the Sohma's are cursed, it would be okay for them to see what happens if I hug Luce right? Well... We want to explain everything to Luce first, before we talk to her family about it. There's no way that we can be sure what would happen if I hug her, but we're taking the risk anyway.

Lucy's POV

I scanned the request board up and down for a suitable mission my family and I can take. My eyes zoned onto one request that required a large amount of people to look through a 'haunted ship' to make sure it's safe to remove from the beach. Apparently it's been keeping away residents in the area as they're too scared to get close to it. If my family were to take it there would be 14 people, that should enough... I pulled the request off the board and went to show my family. This is a good chance for them to get experience... besides... ghosts don't exist...

"Hi guys! I found a good one!" I smiled as I held up the request for them to see. Kisa came up next to me, "Is it really safe?" I giggled at her cuteness and nodded, "Yup, we'll stay in groups when we go anyway." Hiro walked up to Kisa, "Don't worry. I'll protect you..." "Really?!" Hiro blushed as he nodded. I can bet that those two will be adorable together when they grow up. Akito-nii-chan already told Hiro he approves, but he's probably to scared to talk to Kisa about it yet. So cute! I can't wait for them to grow up and get married and be a couple with children! Shit... I'm turning into Mira...

My family agreed to the mission and I went up to get it marked off by Mira, "Mira, the Sohma's plus Tohru would like to go on this mission!" I handed the sheet to Mira as she looked it over, "Sorry Lucy, the person who sent in the mission said you need at least 20 people to go on the mission... I know! Why don't you bring Team Natsu and the Dragon Duo along! You can also bring Wendy too!" I sighed and went to tell my family we'll be getting company. They nodded in understanding, so I went to invite Team Natsu, Wendy and the Dragon Duo on the mission.

I started with cute Wendy, "Hey Wen! You wanna come on a mission with me and my family? I'll also be inviting Team Natsu and the Dragon Duo, since we need 20 people in total." Wen smiled and agreed to go on the mission and went back to Fairy Hills to start packing. I laughed at her enthusiasm before going to inform the other two teams, "Hi Sting, Rogue." "Hey blondie." Sting said with a smirk, while Rogue just looked my way, "Do you guys think you can come on a mission with me and my family? We need 20 people in total, so I was wondering if you could help me out?" They looked at each other before nodding in agreement, "Sure thing blondie." I sighed at the nickname and went to tell Team Natsu.

Natsu's POV

I watched as Luce walked around the room, talking to Wendy and then the Dragon Duo, then walking towards my team sitting at the bar, minus Ice Queen who was sitting with Levy and Metal Brains. I gave her a toothy grin when she reached us, "Hey guys!" Both Erza and Lisanna said hi, "Do you think you could join me, the Sohma's, Wen and the Dragon Duo on a mission?" She asked. My eyes widened at the amount of people going, "Why do you need so many people Luce?!" I asked in surprise, "Oh, the mission requires at least 20 people to go..." "20..." I faded off to do some maths in my head... 1... 2... 4... Wait what? Luce laughed at my confusion and did the maths out loud, "There are 12 Sohma's plus Tohru is 13, then add me and Wen it's 15, then add the Dragon Duo it's 17, then finally plus Team Natsu equals 21. Just enough."

I nodded as I thought about what she said and agreed to do the mission with her, it would be nice to do this again, but a whole bunch of other people are going too. This is a chance to show her how good I can be, maybe she can come to like me too... "Ice Pin, come here! We're goin on a mission." I yelled to him.

?'s POV

They're going on a mission are they? I guess they haven't figured out I'm here yet... Hatori... Shigure... Ayame... Akito... Did you even tell them who I am?

The chicken shall be revealed soon!

And before someone comments on my awful maths, shall I explain the maths I did earlier?

The Sohma's are: Hiro, Kisa, Ayame, Shigure, Akito, Hatori, Haru, Momiji, Kagura, Ritsu, Yuki and Kyo= 12

Tohru, Wendy, Lucy, Sting, Rogue= 5

Team Natsu: Natsu, Lisanna, Gray and Erza= 4

Altogether that equals: 21!

Yay for maths! I'm kidding, I had to write that all out before I got it right...

okai, byebye
