Hibiki?

I stand there at the door in a wonderment.

"Hey Lucy, long time no speak!" I hear him say but my body is frozen in shock,

"Hi….Hibiki. Hi" I eventually managed to say

"Surprised I'm here I'm guessing?" He says and I nod.

"Yes. I…. I'm sorry come in." I say waving a hand to invite him in.

"How did you find out where I lived?" I ask as he makes his way into the living room, sitting down on my sofa.

"I saw an article that mentioned about you living in this area and I have a friend who knew where you lived, so I asked them" He answered.

"Anyone that I would know?" I ask

"You met him once or twice I think. I wasn't sure whether you were living here or not anymore so I thought I would try here regardless" He looks around and notices how bare the place is and the boxes on the floor. "Are you moving?"

I perk up and decide to walk over to the open end kitchen to make a cup of tea for the both of us. "Ah… yes. I'm moving in with Natsu in a week."

I look around the kettle boiling to look at Hibiki. He is looking down at the floor shaking his head. "That's…. great. So you are happy with him then"

"… very much so." I turn back around to start pouring the tea "So how are things with Karen?"

"Karen is not my concern anymore" I hear him behind me. It sounds almost…shaky. I manage to turn my body so that I can get a clear view of hibiki in front of me. I didn't quite notice until now. He is very pale and there are dark baggy rings around his eyes as if he hasn't slept in a long time.

"Why is Karen not your concern anymore. She is your wife." I notice his eyes close and his head move away as if he is trying to hide something that he does not want to acknowledge.

Suddenly it clicks to me. "What happened to Karen, Hibiki?"

Hibiki keeps staring at me blank faced but shaking.

"What happened to Karen?" I ask again a little louder knowing that he needed to answer my question.

His face starts to crumple and he starts to put his head in his hands, but I manage a glance of tears in his eyes. I suddenly race over to sit next to him and rub his back.

"What happened Hibiki?" I ask again a little softer.

"She died." I gasp and stop rubbing his back. "What happened?"

"I don't know. One minute she was fine and the next she was getting weaker and weaker. None of the doctors could work out why and now I have lost her."

I pull him into a hug and we sit there for a few minutes before I ask "How long ago was it?"

"A few weeks ago. We have already had the funeral. You are the only person that I know will understand so I had to find you." He said into my shoulder as fresh tears were rolling down my back.

I sigh "I am so sorry Hibiki. I'm sure that where ever she is, she is watching over you right now"

"Thank you Lucy. You always know the right thing to say." He says pulling away from me slightly so that we are facing very closely to each other.

"I miss you Lucy. I really do. I know that we didn't work back then but… I wonder sometimes what it would have been like if we had got married. Would we be happy. Would I be feeling like this for you if you ever passed before me? Would you have grown to love me?"

I place a hand on his face caressing him "I'm sorry Hibiki. I wish that there was something that I could do to help you I really do."

"There is one thing that you can do… My Princess" He caresses my hand softly that is on his cheek.

"Princess?" I say startled

"Oh I'm sorry. I guess you don't hear anyone call you Princess anymore do you? I still remember everyone calling you that when you lived with your parents."

"No it just surprised me that's all. It just reminded me of the flowers that I would recieve on tour at every venue which would always come with a poem that would call me Princess?"

"Oh, so you did get my flowers then" He replies slightly more cheerfully.

"Wait what…..?

Hold on a minute! Hibiki has been the one who has been sending me the flowers? Don't get me wrong they were beautiful but the messages attached to them…. But he is such a nice guy and as far as I knew he was happily married! Why?

Before I get a chance to speak again, Hibiki thrusts his lips onto mine. I protest trying to throw himself off of me but he is way too strong for me and he manages to pin me against the sofa, his lips still attached to mine. Eventually he moves his kisses to my neck and pushes me onto the sofa so that I am laying down, my hands still pinned down above my head.

"Karen was never meant to be with me but she was an arrangement that had turned into love. Like it should have been with you Princess. I knew that as soon as she started getting weak that she was never going to recover. I knew then that I needed you Lucy. I started to blame myself about all of this. If I was married to you, I would not have had to marry Karen and she probably would not have died and you would not be with Natsu and this silly little band of yours. We would be happy. We would probably have had an heir by now too." He says while hovering over me, keeping his grip on my hands tight and my body between his bent knees so I am not able to move.

"Get off me Hibiki! We would not have been happy and you know it! We never wanted to be together in the first place! Why do you think I could make you happy! I am not your Princess and you will never be my Prince!" I protest as he continues to try and kiss me.

"What does that Natsu boy have that I don't Lucy? Eh? We should be together. Technically you are meant to be with me anyway! You were engaged to me Lucy! We could have it all! Money, fame, a nice family... something that I can not have now with Karen but I can still have with you."

He continues to kiss down my body, placing a hand under my shirt and pulling it off exposing my bra to him.

"No…Hibiki…. Stop it! I don't want that with you!" I shout to him trying to push him off again, my attempt proving futile. His eyes are suddenly getting wider and his breathing starts turning to panting. He is turning delusional before my eyes and there is no way that I can stop him! What do I do? What do I say that will bring him out of this?

"I am your fiancee Lucy. You should be liking this. We will be married and we can carry on with what we were suppose to. What we should have had in the first place. First that Laxus bloke and now Natsu! You cheated on me with other men Lucy! You should be punished! You should be with only me and not think of another man!"

He continues his one handed assault by opening up the button on my jeans and he starts to grind his hips against mine. I try kicking my legs to try and do some damage but he manages to trap my legs so that I can not move them far.

"You are all that I have left now!" He shouts at me

"Hibiki stop this! This is not you!" I shout back trying to get some sense into him. "Remember that we broke off the engagement because you wanted to be with someone else! We did not want to be together!

"I need you Lucy. You are everything that I need to make me feel better. Please…. make this hurt go away. Make me forget her!" He says starting to change tactic and crying while still assaulting me. I feel his hand going down towards his jeans and when it comes back up towards my face, I feel something cold and hard against my throat. My breathing stops as I realise that there is a knife to my neck. Holy shit! What do I do? What do I do! How do I get out of this? Hibiki is seriously going to hurt me if I don't do something quick!

"I did not want to resort to this Princess, but you are giving me no choice. You are coming back with me to where you belong and we are going to carry on as we always were meant to."

"Hibiki please. You don't need to do this. P-please. Let me go." I stammer as I feel the blade of the knife against my neck, slightly pushing in, probably drawing blood. I need to think this through. I need to talk to him and calm him down and not get him riled up.

"That I can not do my Princess. You will run away, back to that boy Natsu. He is not your Prince, I am and you will come back home with me!" He says, the neck pressing a little deeper than before.

I shudder knowing that this may be my fate if I can not get out of this somehow. There is no point to me screaming, no one will hear me and Hibiki would have hurt me by the time someone gets here.

"Okay….. okay. I'll go with you" I say agreeing to him. I know that it sounds like a silly thing to do but I was not going to be able to do anything while the knife is placed on my neck. I just need to stand up so I can get away from him. I know the flat better than he does and where the windows are that I can escape out of.

"That's a good girl. I knew that you would come to your senses soon enough. Come on. Let's go back to your palace where you belong." He says, removing the knife from my neck and starting to kiss me again and running his hands up and down my body. I just lie there, trying not to struggle. I silently start to cry as I realise that I have sealed my fate and that I am never going to see the ones that I love again. Natsu… I am so sorry that I never got to tell you goodbye and to tell you that I love you one last time. Girls. I am so sorry that I was not strong enough. Minna…..I am so so-.

"Get your hands off her!" I hear someone shout out and before I can do anything, Hibiki suddenly falls onto the ground. I look up frightened to see Laxus on the floor holding Hibiki in a tight grip and Natsu standing near the door. I look straight at Natsu in shock as he runs over to grab me off the sofa and away from Hibiki who is still on the floor screaming at me.

"No! Princess. No! Don't run away from me! I will find you! You are meant to be with me!"

Natsu and I run out of the apartment and into the back seat of a waiting car. As Natsu's arms surround me in a tight grip and he positions me so that I am on his lap, the shock of everything that has just happened suddenly hits me ten fold and I collapse into Natsus arms. My arms surround him too looking for something to grab onto to reassure myself that I am out of my apartment safely and I cry heavy tears as Natsu's smell hits my nostrils and his bright pink hair covers most of my vision. I have never cried this hard in front of Natsu but right now I am so happy.

Natsu is here.

I am not in my apartment anymore.

Natsu has saved me.

My dragon saved me.

So who saw that coming! It was Hibiki who was sending the flowers to Lucy throughout the tour! Well done those who had guessed right! Plus of course Natsu was here to save the day! I'm sorry this did not come out yesterday. I have been busy all of this week and I wanted to get this out as quickly as possible. I hope that you liked this chapter since I have rewritten this about four times to make sure that it was right!
