When they entered the school, it was quiet. Almost immediately a blanket of silence hushed over the students.

Eyes of all colors were staring at them, all of them swirling with an emotion that Lucy was afraid to decipher.

"Listen up!" Natsu suddenly barked. All heads snapped to him as he stood protectively in front of Lucy. "You assholes made the biggest mistake of your lives that day." His voice, which had started out loud, was now dangerously quiet.

"You hurt my friend," Gray said, his shirt flying off as he stood next to Natsu.

"You disrespected her," Levy whispered.

"You degraded her," Juvia was next to hiss.

"You hated her," Gajeel growled, his red eyes flashing dangerously.

"And you made her cry." Natsu's hands tightened into fists. "I hate it when Lucy cries. It's the worst thing in the world. Do you know why?"

"Lucy's sad when she's crying," Gray shook his head.

"Lucy is supposed to be happy."

"Lucy is supposed to have her breath taken away by our school."

"Lucy is supposed to have good friends."

"Lucy is. Supposed. To smile!" Natsu roared. "You've never seen it, right, you bitches and dicks?! You've never seen her laugh or smile, and I promise you it's the most goddamn beautiful thing in the world. She's the most beautiful thing in the world. And... If you make my wife cry again..." Natsu's arm shot out and grabbed the nearest person, a brunette guy who was pale and quivering. "I'll make you suffer." Natsu snarled.

With that, he released the unknown student, who let loose a cry of fear and scrambled away.

"Please."

All eyes snapped to the voice that had just spoke.

The crowd of people split like the red sea to reveal - Lucy's breath caught in her throat - Chisaki.

"Who cares if she cries?" She continued, examining her newly-painted pink nails. "That little bitch deserved everything she got."

"It was you." Levy gasped.

"But..." Lucy said weakly. Was it true? The one person she thought she had made friends with, had actually started the whole storm in the first place?

"Yeah, it was." Chisaki shrugged.

"So you admit it," Juvia said coldly. "When I get my hands on you you'll wish for death!" She screamed, pouncing but was held back by Gajeel. Everyone could tell how serious she was; she never prefers to herself in first person.

"Yes, I do admit it." Chisaki said proudly. "And did a good job, too, don't you think? Because, after all..."

Chisaki's once sparkling and beautiful blue eyes were icy cold as they landed on Lucy.

"She's just a fake princess."

Gasps were heard.

Screams were made as both Juvia and Levy had to be held back by equally angry Gray and Gajeel.

But not one of them was compared to the reaction that Natsu had.

Moving so fast that the naked human eye couldn't see, a nasty 'crack!' rang throughout the hall as his fist came in contact with Chisaki's face.

She curled up on the ground, her screams and whimpers of pain curdling everyone's blood.

Natsu panted, his form shaking with rage as he struggled back not to fucking kill the bitch.

"Natsu!" Lucy shouted, somehow undoing the freezing spell she had put on herself. Running up to him, she laid a gentle hand on his hot skin. "Natsu," she repeated, her voice soothing and quiet.

Slowly, Natsu's harsh breathing went back to normal, and the terrifying face of anger he had was only a look of simmering fury.

"I can't say you didn't deserve that," Lucy said, staring at the mess that was called Chusaki. "But - "

"Shut up!"

The scream was so shrill and so loud that all students jumped back with their hands to their ears.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Chisaki shrieked, struggling to get to her feet while a steady stream of blood ran down her chin from her broken nose.

"Are you okay?" Lucy frowned, crouching down and laying a comforting hand on her shoulder. "You got hit pretty har - "

'Slap!'

More gasps, screams of rage, and a furious roar that promised to kill.

Lucy's head was still turned from the force of the slap, her cheek stinging and red.

"Don't ever touch me again," Chisaki whispered.

"Kill - Murder her - " By now, ten to fifteen boys had run out and were holding back a snarling Natsu, and even still, they had trouble restraining him.

Natsu felt so helpless as he watched Lucy slowly raise a hand to touch her red cheek. Shock was still on her face.

"I-I thought we were friends," Lucy said quietly.

"Not everyone likes you!" Chisaki screamed. "Not everyone is going to kiss the ground you walk on and worship you until you die! SO GO ALREADY! JUMP OFF A CLIFF! I DON'T CARE! JUST LEAVE. ME. ALONE!"

Natsu was slowly starting to shake off more and more people. Just a little more, hang on Lucy!

"... Why?"

"It's not your business," Chisaki spat, a thick stream of blood running over her lips and dripping off her chin. She stood wobbily on her legs.

"Here," Lucy said, standing up as well and holding out a hand. "I can help get you to the nurse - "

"Leave me alone, Princess." Chisaki said again, but this time, her voice was tired. Defeated, even.

Everyone could only watch as they saw her walk past them confidently, head held high as if the blood ruining her uniform didn't matter.

"Why'd you do that!"

The furious scream made everyone whip their heads to a new center of attention.

Natsu's eyes were wide and his body was still straining to break free. "Why'd you let her go? She doesn't deserve it!"

"Natsu, calm down," Lucy said soothingly, stepping toward him and reaching out.

"WHY'D YOU FUCKING LET HER - "

"Natsu," Lucy said again. "For the past few days I've done nothing but cry."

"EXACTLY! IT'S THAT BITCH'S FAULT, SHE NEEDS - "

"No, what she needs is kindness," Lucy sighed. She grabbed one of his flailing fists and intertwined her fingers with his.

Slowly he stopped moving, until everyone that had been holding him back finally stepped away in relief.

"But Luce - " Natsu was sounding much less menacing now. He sounded like a child who was almost ready to cry, as if he couldn't understand and was utterly confused.

"My mom always said to be nice to those who are mean," Lucy smiled. Natsu clenched his other hand as he saw the forming bruise on her cheek. "What kind of person would I be if I left her like that?"

"Juvia needs orange juice," Juvia growled from her limp position in Gajeel's arms. "Juvia does not agree with Lucy's decision, but she will respect it."

"I'm telling Master," Levy said simply.

"Good thinking," Gajeel grunted, setting Juvia down and laying an arm on Levy's head while chewing on a nail.

"Yeah, we should at least tell Gramps, Luce." Gray agreed, in the process of flinging his tie away.

"You call her Lucy, I call her Luce!" Natsu shouted, breaking away from Lucy's hand and punching Gray in the jaw.

"Dammit, Natsu!"

As the two began to fight, Lucy stared at the others.

"Who are you talking about? Tell who?"

"The principal, Lu-chan," Levy said kindly. "We all have different names for him."

"Look, I just want to put this whole thing behind us," Lucy smiled. "Can we just get to class?"

"You need a nurse for that bruise, Bunny Girl," Gajeel said nonchalantly, but his red gaze was slightly more soft than usual.

"Aw," Lucy giggled. "Are you worried, Gajeel?"

"Pfft! Just slap a band-aid on, I ain't caring about anyone!" Gajeel spewed out, but everyone could tell he was lying.

"Okay," Lucy agreed easily.

But while she happily waalked beside her friends and smiled at them, they had thoughts circling their heads.

'They'll never find that bitch's body,' Gajeel growled darkly to himself.

'Lucy is too nice... But Juvia isn't as merciful...'

'I'm going to kill her.'

'Look at Lu-chan's bruise! When I get my hands on her...'

'Lucy shouldn't cry! I swear...'

All their thoughts uttered the same thing.

'I'll make sure she never cries again!'

The king stared at his paperwork, his hand frozen with a pen still clutched in his fingers.

He tried to write something, but he couldn't. His hand was as frozen as ice.

Suddenly, without warning, Igneel slammed the pen down and stood up, his chair pushed back from the force of his movement.

Working fast, Igneel made sure that his office was as neat as usual and grabbed his coat.

Natsu wasn't here. Good.

He had time to visit her.

He had time to see the one who had been haunting his dreams since twelve years ago.

Ew, Chisaki. Like girl step off.

Also I really like how this chapter turned out; Lucy's and the others' reactions are pretty in character (somewhat) in my opinion.

Like you can see Lucy forgiving those who hurt her, right? But if they tried to touch her friends, she would go ballistic.

Same for Natsu and the others. That's like the entire basis of Fairy Tail.

Speaking of friends, I'm going to start including more characters in the next chapter. You know, Cana and all that.

Muahaha.

P.S., Chisaki will still be a somewhat big character, so hang tight!

P.P.S., I wonder where Igneel could be going, hm?

Thanks for reading, and see you next week!

Bye!
