Hiro Mashima owns FairyTail.
Swish. Swoosh.
"KYAAAHH!"
"concentrate!"
"I'M TRYING!"
"TRY HARDER!"
"DON'T TOUCH ME!"
She could not see anything. Fear and anxiety running through her veins. She didn't like the situation at all… it was like she was living a terrible twisted dream. Once again, Gajeel was her opponent. But this time.. she was blind and of course a handsome Gajeel was out to get her. She was running for her life… in a different sense.
"GAJEEELLL!"
"You need to try harder bunnygirl. I think you're faking it. You like this a lot don't you?" He said huskily into her ear. Causing her to stiffen and jump away.
Goosebumps grew up from her feet up to her head. She shivered. It was too much.. she wanted to stop.. yet she didn't. Gajeel was spot on when he said she was liking it. Who wouldn't.
She felt a hard chest slowly push against her back, a finger at her neck to symbolize a knife.
"you died again. 4."
And with that, Gajeel left again and disappeared.
"AAGGGHH!" Lucy screamed in frustration.
"I think you're right Gajeel. I think she does like it." Laxus said huskily.
"Looks fun. I want to play too." Natsu said with a smirk.
"Ohhhh no. no no no no. please don't." Lucy pleaded as she took a defensive stance. PLEASE DONT.. I CAN'T HANDLE THE FOUR OF YOU ALL AT ONCE. she thought of her daydream on the first day of their trip.. "no no no no!" Lucy thought to herself as she shook her head.
"Where are you looking at Lucy.." Gray came up to her right and spoke in a whisper to her cheek. He put his fingers up to her cheek and gave a slow soft brush. She felt the cold ice magic emitting from his body… his fingers.
"KYAAHHH!" Lucy jumped away from him and started walking backwards. She was very jittery with the quadruple threat out to get her.
She bumped into someone who put their hands on her arms, slowly sliding them down her bound arms. Causing her to stiffen up like a log.
"You're such a bad girl Luce… running into me like that. You didn't even try to feel my heat. I almost burned you."
She felt Natsu stroke softly up her arms with his fingers.
Her body tingled once again, but stronger this time.
Lucy gasped and froze.
The heat disappeared.. and she was left in the dark once again. Her senses were being overwhelmed.. she was flustered and confused.. and desperately trying to maintain control.
"Come on Lucy… calm down.. concentrate…." She told herself.. she slowed down her breathing. Cleared her mind. Then she felt it.
Her hand went to her keys at her waist.
"Lucy" Loke spoke through his key.
"Loke!" Lucy yelled in her thoughts.
"Hime.. we can help you." Virgo spoke.
"How?!" Lucy cried.
"Lucy.. remember how we spirits can sense when you are in danger. Sometimes we can open our own celestial gates to ward off enemies."
"Yes."
"Well.. we have our own device like lacrima vision to check on you constantly."
"You mean you can watch me from the Celestial Spirit Realm?!"
"Yes Hime. But not exactly. We see spirits."
"You can consider it as spirit sensors. The more your magical capacity increases… the better we can sense and be in tune with you."
"So that's how you do it!"
"Yes. And now that you've gotten stronger and so have our bonds with you… we your celestial spirits can channel the sensor vision to you, just as we can talk to you telepathically."
"That's awesome!"
"Are you ready hime?"
"Let's do this!" Lucy cheered.
Slowly… she saw a light. It was slightly warm red and orange like a fire.
Another lit up towards the right… a slight icy blue light.
A slight purple light lit up to the left. It was coming closer.
Lucy took a step back. The light halted its advance.
She thought to herself… "three lights… where's the last one?"
A finger was felt at her tailbone. Lucy jumped up in shock. But the finger didn't stay put.. it went up her back, lining the spine. And unusually and amazingly.. she felt vibrations and a wonderful shocking feeling from the finger as it moved up her spine.
Lucy gasped, moaned softly, and felt her knees give out. She was falling.
Warm arms grabbed her before she could fall and gently lowered her to the ground. She held her breath and hid her face in the chest of the man.
"LAXUS WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Lucy heard Natsu yell.
Hands were ruffling in front of her to remove the bindings on her hands. As soon as her hands were free she shakily tried to take the blindfold off. Someone helped her take it off and with fluttering eyes… Lucy tried to adjust to the sunlight.. she saw Natsu's worried handsome face.
"Luce?"
His face looked older. Wrinkles started to appear on his forehead, probably from frowning too much. And his eyes seemed to have more depth to them… was that sorrow she saw?
"Lucy you ok?" Gray said with worried eyes staring into her. He was bending over closer to her, next to Natsu who was kneeling beside her.
"Blondie.. " the man's chest rumbled. The vibrations of his voice were felt through his chest and Lucy was currently leaning into the man's embrace. She looked up at the man. Laxus.
"Dang… I think you broke her lightning freak." Gajeel spoke.
"I think you did too. What the heck did you do Laxus?" Gray frowned at the lightning mage.
"oiy… I did not hurt her. I just gave her a sensual shock that's all." Laxus growled at them.
"sensual shock?! You fried her! Look at her!" Natsu said yelling at Laxus.
Lucy just stared at the four of them. She was amazed.. When she blinked or closed her eyes, she saw just their spiritual light.. hovering around her. When she opened her eyes and saw them clearly.. she saw both. she saw them silhouetted with their spiritual light.
Yup… they were going to be the death of her. It was already bad enough with their older handsome looks.. but now.. they were all lit up like their hot bodies were on fire.
She was too preoccupied with her new ability that she didn't even hear the men talk about her.
"Hime.. now you can use spiritual vision whenever you like."
"Thank you Virgo… Loke… everyone…" Lucy said with love.
"All you need to do is touch your keys.. and you'll be able to access it." Loke spoke.
"I'm so happy! The dragon slayers may have their nose.. but I have my awesome spirit sensing eyes." Lucy said happily.
"haha. Yes yes you do. I am glad I can bring you such happiness princess. If only this new vision could let you see my eternal love for you." Loke
"Ha! Bye Loke! Virgo!" Lucy said laughing and she put her keys back on her hip.
"Luce… "
Lucy took a deep breath as his low sensual voice brought her back to reality.
"That's it Lucy.. breathe…" Natsu cajoled her.
"Phew.. I thought she was a goner. Laxus you can't go shocking girls around." Gray lectured Laxus.
"Tch… I don't need a lecture from you Gray.. I don't go stripping around like you do. I'm pretty sure you give girls more brain damage than any of us here." Laxus growled back.
Gray looked down at himself. "Dannggiitt AGAIN!" he ran around looking for his clothes.
"Gihi.. nice one." Gajeel laughed.
Lucy sweatdropped.
"I'm fine guys.. I felt my legs give out from being tired. I wouldn't have gotten so tired if you guys didn't all BIND MY ARMS TOGETHER, BLINDFOLD ME, AND ALL COME AFTER ME!" Lucy yelled at them.
The dragon slayers grit their teeth as her yelling hurt their ears. Gray cringed from Lucy's wrath.
"Tired.. yea right.. I know exactly why your legs gave out… I heard you moan." Laxus thought to himself and smirked.
"Jeez Luce… it was to train you to notice your surroundings more." Natsu rubbed his ears.
"You need to be more alert." Laxus spoke in a low voice. She looked up at him to find him staring into her eyes. She knew what he meant… he had caught her red-handed in the fact that she really did not pay attention to her surroundings.
"Now you know that you can't be ignorant." Gajeel crossed his arms and frowned slightly at her in disapproval.
Lucy looked at Gajeel's face.. and she pouted. It was true. Everything they said was true.
"Weirdo.. don't pout. You just need to work on it more. Better to start now than later right?" Natsu gave her his signature smile.
Lucy looked at Natsu and blushed.. he sure knew how to cheer her up all the time...
Seeing her blush at Natsu, Laxus got annoyed. Having everyone blame him for hurting Lucy was bad enough.. but now Natsu and Lucy were having flirt time while she was still in his arms?
OH HECKS NO.
"Come on Blondie.. Time to get up." Laxus lifted her up onto her feet. Her legs still felt weak and his touch didn't help to bring strength to them either.
"Can you stand?" Laxus asked her with a concerned voice.
"Yea… thanks Laxus." Lucy blushed again, causing Laxus to smirk in victory.
"huh.. I never thought I'd live to see a day where Laxus Dreyar would be so caring and worried over me. What crazy dream am I living now." Lucy thought to herself.
The tingling from Laxus' finger along her spine was still felt in residual amounts. And Lucy shivered from how good it still felt.
Laxus chuckled as he noticed her shivering. He knew.
Natsu frowned at Laxus and Lucy. He marched up to Lucy and quickly lifted her up into his arms.
"NATSU! WHAT ARE YOU DDDOOOIINNGGGGG!" Natsu began to run with Lucy in his arms. She clung onto his neck and shoulder.
"KYAAAA!" Lucy's voice was getting softer and softer as Natsu ran away from them towards Mount Goyang.
"NNNNAATTSSSUUU GET BACK HERE!" Laxus thundered and ran after him.
"NATSSSUUU YOU CHEATER!" Gray yelled as he struggled to put his clothes on and run after him.
"YOU IDIOT OF A CANDLEHEAD!" Gajeel ran after Natsu.
"AHAHAHAHA!" Natsu laughed heartily. He was so happy. SHE was grabbing tightly onto him. Lucy was finally in his arms… and he was going to keep it that way.
In a town far away… a certain ice mage and water mage were strolling the town. They were scouting around for a certain thief that they had to capture. Silently, they walked side by side. The woman was squirming and her heart palpitating with anxious love for the man. And the man was as composed as ice. But then something caught the eye of the woman.. and the man kept walking. She stopped in front of a magazine booth and picked up the latest issue of Sorcerer Magazine. Her eyes widened..
"Gray-sama!"
The man turned around and walked slowly over to the woman.
"Isn't this…?"
"Lucy!" Gray's eyes widened. He took the magazine from her and held it in his hands.
"Juvia didn't know love-rival had a boyfriend? Did Gray-sama know?"
On the front cover of the magazine.. was a picture of Lucy at a dining car of a train.. sitting across from a blonde haired man.. who he hated to admit was acknowledgeable as handsome. He didn't ever recall meeting such a man.. yet he looked so familiar. And why did Lucy look so comfortable… and so happy to be with him?
Front headlines were…
Celestial bombshell Lucy Heartfilia of Fairytail taken?
Who is this mysterious handsome man that has taken her heart?
"Gray-sama… doesn't the man look familiar?"
"yea…."
"Do you know him?"
"No… I don't ever remember meeting him."
"I wonder how love-rival knows him. Maybe they really are dating!" Juvia said overjoyed at the thought of Lucy being taken and out of the race for Gray's love.
He flipped through the magazine to Lucy's article.. and what he found surprised him even more.
There were even more pictures..
Lucy holding onto the man's arm.. the man and Lucy walking in a train hallway…
…. the two entering a first class sleeping car…
He clenched his fists… he pushed the magazine into Juvia's hand and walked away. Glaring at the street in front of him. The air around his body dropped in temperature. Blue magic aura seethed from his body….
He was only gone for 2 days.. 2 DAYS….and this happens?! Now he really felt the urge to finish the mission NOW. And punch a certain fire gecko in the face.
"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING NATSSUUUUU "
