darkhuntressxir: I know right? *hugs Natsu* and aren't they, I wish I had some of that stuff, I'd sneak around prancing people! :D
FairyWhereAreYouGoing: Either way you would be fluffy~! :3 Wolves and lions are so cute!
TheRealmsOfDream: Can I give the inner you a hug? :3 Oh yeah! Episode 2, the mansion one where they went to go find that book and Lucy dressed up as a maid! Damh! You got the best of both worlds by not only being half neko but you also gonna be able to fly! Your one smart cookie! :D
theabridgedkuriboh: Awww! I bet you'd look great! But does that mean you would want to have fish and milk? :o and here it is!
"Mission 'Dark Secrets' is a go!" Natsu shouted as he put his scarf around his neck.
"I had a good life..."
"That's the spirit Lucy! Stay positive!" Lucy sweat dropped at her friend.
"Do you have any idea where we're going?"
"Yup," Je grinned and pointed at a map of Magnolia, "I did some research last night and this library here is the oldest and largest dark library here."
"It's in the middle of the dark side of town!" [1]
"That's why we're sneaking in! We gotta be careful though, but I'm sure we'll be fine!" He said, checking out the backpack under the cape, making sure everything's in order. After finding everything was okay, they set out into the night. The two stumbled a but as their eyes adjusted to the night, but continued to the marketplace. As they entered they felt shivers go up their spine, the place was completely deserted, and it was very dark out, giving the place an ominous, creepy feeling.
Natsu continued on, looking for the fountain he and Gray were at last time he was here. He found it quickly and signaled Lucy over, who was also looking. Natsu pulled out the map again, making sure they were going the right way. Once he pointed out their direction to Lucy, who nodded, they crept into the shadows. As soon as they passed an invisible barrier they felt weaker, and knew they were in the dark section of town. Since they had the charms, they could continue but since they were in the darkness, they felt weaker and a little sick, yet they continued on.
They were running from alley to alley, using the shadows to stay hidden. So far they haven't encountered any 'shadows' and they were glad, one look and you could tell they weren't supposed to be in the darkness. Two buildings away from the library, Natsu found what he was looking for, an emergency ladder. He signaled to Lucy and pointed at the ladder, but the ladder was high up. Natsu crouched down, tangled his fingers together and allow Lucy to use the, as a step. [2] Lucy got on the ladder and climbed up, then turned to watch her friend. Natsu just missed the ladder by the inch, no matter how fast he ran, and there was nothing he could use as a step. Then they both heard someone approaching and Lucy started to panic. She looked around for something to help and saw a rope on her belt. She threw it down to Natsu who quickly climbed up to the ladder then climbed to the roof, joining his friend.
They both sighed and looked down to see a stray cat where they were, who he'd caused Natsu to chuckle and Lucy to giggle. The two then got serious and continued on their way. The gaps between the buildings were short but Lucy was terrified. Natsu jumped the gap then turned to Lucy with his arms open, ready to catch his friend if she were to need it. After Lucy continued to pace around and panic, she finally decided to jump and made it over safely. Or at least as safe as you cam be when jumping buildings. The next one was easier for both of them but they found a problem, they realized they were a floor short. The library was three stories high while the building they were on was only two.
Natsu looked at his map and realized that the third story was recently built, and was still being built, by the look of it. Natsu looked to the left of the building, seeing the entrance to the library, that had two men in front, guarding it. 'That's weird for a library... I wonder if they're hiding something?' He looked at the map again and hope that their was still an emergency ladder at the back of the building. As luck would have it, there was on, and a platform a little lower than the building they stood on. Natsu, feeling suddenly brave, tool his chances and jumped, just reaching the rim of the platform. He climbed onto it then signaled Lucy to jump, who was also feeling brave. She jumped but was a foot short and started to fall, but Natsu got her hand just in time, and pulled her up.
It shook the two out of their sudden bravery, but they still continued on. They climbed up the emergency ladder up to the third story which was half finished, pieces of wood still visible. After pushing through some unfinished wooden wall, the two were on top of the library. They looked up to see a breathtaking night sky, and a full moon, it was beautiful. The two have never seem a night sky under the stars, they only saw it threw their windows with lights on. But seeing it for the first time with no lights, was like seeing the stars for the first time ever. They spent good five minutes, staring in awe at the sky until they realized they still have a mission to complete.
Natsu made a mental note to show his friends the night sky, under the moon light. Natsu and Lucy walked around, looking for an entrance to the second story which Lucy, thankfully found. Natsu headed down the stairs first, then signaled Lucy to come when it was safe. They hid in a corner of the library quickly, they check what books they were around. They were in the kids section, and Natsu pulled out a book only to get shivers down his spine. On the cover was a giant shadow behind a yellow, glowing kid. The title was 'Where you belong', and it was one of the creepiest things he has ever seen and the worst thing was, this was just the kids section.
They both moved to the opposite corner from the ladder to thankfully find the 'Dark History' section. The two pulled out a few books and turned on their flashlights, both feeling relieved and happier from the light. The two then began to work, reading the books front to back, but they had to speed read because of the dangers of being caught. The two felt very lucky because it seemed no one was in the library today, but they were still cautious.
When Lucy pulled on Natus shoulder he got very excited until he looked at the title of the little article. He waved his had dismissing her, he already knew about the story of the Princes of the sky and space. It was the story of how two princes fell in love but there was some conflict, probably their gender, that wouldn't allow them to marry, but they did so etching or something happened and then they were allowed to marry. It was the first story of how Fiore allowed same sex marriage, and people still know the story today. Lucy shoved the book back in Natsu face and pointed to the caption underneath a picture of two men with glass between them.
The two could not wed, from they were born in different seasons, one of the darkest and one of the lightest.
Natsu blinked at what he just read and he was sure that wasn't in the story he knew of. He grabbed the book from Lucy and started to read.
Where light shines, the darkness lingers, so without light we do not have darkness and without darkness there would never be light. But the bond between the two is also their separation. The darks stay within the shadows and the lights stay in the sun, the two stay away from their opposites. A time before the 'War of Day and Night', there was a prince who loved another, front he opposite side. The Prince of Kurai Heiya had been seeking a suitable until the Prince of Hikari Kishi had sought help from him with illegal smugglers. They soon fell in love, secretly meeting during sun sets and dawn, where light and darkness we at an even match. The two married during the dawn and the people of Fiore accepted the princes with little hesitation but soon the lovers could never 'be' together. They were still bound to the light and darkness. They went to the best magic shops, and healers but nothing would work. until one man created the charms of light and dark, which allowed the lovers to enter their opposite season. But these charms could not last forever, one could become very sick from using a charm too long. One day while the lovers were together, an old woman came and requested to talk to the princes, saying she could solve their problems. Both princes were delighted to hear someone may help them so they asked the old woman what they could do for her. She smiled-
"Damn it!" He yelled, someone had ripped out the page. He cursed his luck, he was so close to finding something! Lucy smacked her hand over his mouth but the damage was already done.
"Who's there?" A deep voice boomed.
"Shit! Go Lucy!" He growled. Lucy ran over to the ladder that lead to the third floor and started to climb, cape flowing. Natsu started to run to the ladder when a book caught his eye. It was on the fourth shelf, it was a large leather booked that looked very old and seemed to glow slightly. Natsu felt hypnotized and picked up the book slowly, running his hands over it, examining it.
"Hey you! What are you doing here?" That voice snapped Natsu out of his trans mad he turned around to see one of the large guards he saw earlier. He shoved his hand into his pouch and threw a handful of red powder at the man, who lofted his arms up trying to protect himself. While the man was blinded and coughing, Natsu shoved the book into his backpack and climbed up the rusted ladder. When he reached the third floor, he looked for his friend who whistled at him, he turned to see she was on the building next to this and she was pointing to a rope she used to slide down. Natsu nodded and grabbed the rope Lucy used sliding down it onto the roof of the other building, joining his friend.
"I swear if you didn't come a second earlier, I would have gone after you and kicked your butt." She said with a playful smile.
"I was just kicking a body guards butt, don't worry!" He said while grinning.
The two hopped roofs like they were nothing and ended up at the markets rooftops. After a small debate, Natsu decided to crash into a hat stall while Lucy climbed down slowly. The two then ran directly to Natsu's house and sighed when they were enveloped in light.
"Remind me never to do something that reckless again!" Lucy shouted while taking out her pajamas she packed. She went into the bathroom for a hot bath. While she was in the bathroom Natsu changed into his pajamas, a red Tshirt and black bottoms with a gray flame pattern on the bottom, and on the side of his shirt. He pulled put the book from his backpack and looked it over, having no idea why he was so attracted to it. It was a black leather book, with silver designs in it, with no title. Natsu was about to open it up when he heard Lucy turn finish. He quickly put the book back into his bag and jumped on the couch. Lucy came out in a gray shirt and plaid green and pink shorts.
"I'll take the couch if you'd like, I mean it is your house."
"Nah, it's fine, I made you come on the spy mission with me anyway."
"Thanks Natsu, good night."
"Night Luce!" He clicked the lights off and the two fell asleep.
1- Even though it isn't daylight or nighttime, Magnolia is separated into light section and dark section. Most of the darks live in the dark section and the lights the light section.
2- that's cheer leading move people muse to help people climb up, like they cup their hands together and they step on them. I didn't know what it was called, sorry!
