Natsu

Real mature Lucy! Just ignore me and go on a job yourself it's not like I care! So why am I following you? Of course it is to make sure you aren't injured while out. If you weren't so reckless I wouldn't have to do this! It's your fault! I find a nearby tree and start banging my head.

"Natsuuuu," Happy's familiar dragging out of my name pulls me back to reality. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, sorry Happy I am just a little distracted."

"We'll lose Lucy at this rate though."

"Don't worry I am used to Lucy's scent, even if we lost her I could find her again in less than a minute," I smile and start walking again.

That's when I notice Lucy has stopped. At first I think she has noticed us I hide quickly but then she resumes walking. We walk for a little while until we reach a small house hidden by trees. Lucy walks in and I go by the window and begin to listen.

Lucy

Do they really think I don't know they're following me? I don't need super hearing to hear them they are loud enough to hear a mile away.

"Thank you so much for coming."

"You're welcome," I say focusing on my employers. The woman has light brown hair and gray eyes she has a wrinkly but kind face. Her husband is stern looking with brown eyes and graying hair, they are almost the opposite. "On the request it said you needed me to find a family heirloom that was stolen by some thieves in the woods, could you describe what it looks like?"

"Yes of course. It is a locket on a thin silver chain; it holds a picture of my parents and me. It is very important to me," the lady says.

"Can you tell me around where it was stolen?"

"I was coming back from the market when three bandits came from behind me and stole it. They took some other things but they are not nearly as important."

Her story is a little fishy if they had stolen it from her shouldn't there have been a struggle. She isn't injured at all. Anyway my job is just to find the locket and to return it. "I will get the locket to you as soon as possible."

"Thank you so much," she says hugging me. I don't hug back.

"Well I will be on my way now." I walk out the door.

Natsu

I wait a while outside until Lucy is gone. I am about to leave when I over hear, "Is she gone?" the old lady says.

"Yeah I think so," the man says.

"Good, I can't wait to see that fairy tail mage get pounded to smithereens."

"I know. They are so annoying thinking they are all tough and cool just because they were once the strongest guild."

"It is even funnier she didn't even suspect anything. She didn't even notice when I slipped her the sleeping drug." They both start laughing.

I start to overload with anger. I kick the door open and they say, "Who the hell are you?"

I don't answer them I punch the old man who had started coming after me. Then I kick the woman but she is harder to take down. She dodges my kick and throws a glass cup at my head. I duck in time and the glass crashes behind me. I drive my fist right into her forehead and she falls to the floor. Now time to go save Lucy.

Lucy

There are no bandits here. Did they lie? I have been here for like five minutes.

I hear the crunch of leaves, so much for the element of surprise. I spin around and see four big and scary looking men. "Are you the Fairy Tail mage?"

"What's it to you?" I ask my voice thick with sarcasm. Are these the bandits?

"We are here to teach you a lesson," the person I assume to be the leader says.

"Teach me a lesson?"

"Yeah, you and that guild of yours," he says looking to the mark on my hand.

"What exactly is this 'lesson' of yours?"

"Shall we start then?" Two of the four men come at me and me back away. I lose track of the third until I bump into someone behind. A giant pair of hands grab me and I struggle to break free. If I had drank the tea served to me before I would not have been able to resist as well. Luckily I could smell the drug and recognized it right away. Plus being part of a rich family you must know you your poisons.

I bite his hand and break free doing a roundhouse kick across his face. He stumbles back but hurriedly steadies himself. I decide to run instead.

My decision was too late they have surrounded me completely. What do I do? They grab me again and this time I cannot struggle out of it. I left my keys at home, damn! The leader raises his fist and I close my eyes waiting for the impact.

Natsu

I reach Lucy and see that she is being held up by one man while the other draws back to punch her. I run to her and catch his hand right before it hits her. Her eyes open and she says, "Natsu," my stomach flutters at the way she says and the look she gives me it but I shake it off. I don't have time for that. I throw the man towards a tree and kick the man holding her in the face he falls back. The other two men rush at me and I jump up and slam their heads together. They both collapse into unconsciousness.

The man that fell jumps up and charges at me, I dodge and lift my foot up and trip him his head hits a branch and he is knocked unconscious. The leader runs off. I walk over to Lucy and help her up. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, but I am still mad at you," she bites her lips, "Thanks though."

"We're partners, right?"

"Right," she smiles.

"Luuucccyyyy," Happy flies through the trees and flies right into Lucy's face.

"Happy," Lucy face becomes re with rage. I burst out laughing as she and Happy play a game of chase.

So it is finally done! YAYA, but it's still not the end!
