I just wanted to start off saying I'm very sorry if anyone got the impression that this was the last chapter (or were hoping it was) . Gomen-asai . I've got a lot more I want to write and assuming nothing happens to me to prevent me from accomplishing this goal, the story will most likely have over 40 chapters by the time I'm done. I'm already at 8 and they haven't even officially started their missions yet.

Back to back sexiness! Rate and review pretty please with a cherry on top?

Fighting scenes are just as hard as dancing ones. I suppose it makes sense since both a very physical things you do.

People keep wanting me to make my chapters longer. Unless you all want to wait 2 weeks between chapters, I'm not currently at a level where I can manage to write 6-7 thousand words a week. The story so far is over 55 pages on Word with an 11 point normal font and narrow margins. I feel pretty happy that I've written that much so far.

Random Little fun fact I have decided to share. I've been reading a ton of fanfiction with Lucy and Natsu, and it amazes me how many depict Lucy wearing a bra. As many times as her clothes have been destroyed, you'd think everyone would realize she doesn't wear any kind of support, though she really should. Her girls are gonna sag to her knees. I suppose all her tops are tight enough to hold them up, but tight shirts only go so far. So in case you haven't noticed, the closest she has gotten to wear a bra in her bikini top.

Random Author Note to a reviewer though anyone can read it :)

To my "guest", I would have loved to have responded directly to you but since you're a guest I can't, so I'll do it here. First I'll say super thank you for your very kind compliments. They make me feel so happy.

In regards to when you said "I just wish hiro mashima will make her (Lucy) stronger in a sense where she is put in more action scenes rather than just cheer in the background" I'm a little curious what you mean. She beat Everlue, saved Loki, Beat Sherry, and managed to take down Byro as a giant octopus thing. She gets chosen to go on the various missions like against Oracian Sei. She was chosen to participate in the Grand Magic Games, and would have beat Flare hands down if Flare hadn't threatened the little girl. Minerva was just completely out of her league.

I think there is this misconception of Lucy's strength because she uses Celestial Spirits as opposed to a more direct magic like Natsu or Gray. However that IS her magic. Her magical strength directly impacts what her spirits are capable of. I'm rewatching the anime, and just finished the Laxus "Throwing a Tantrum" Arc. Lucy defeated Bixlow on her own. Remember Loki IS her magic. He didn't 'help' her beat him in the normal sense, he was used the same way Natsu uses his fire or Erza uses her swords. Her magic is just capable of thinking on its own.

Also I think people need to keep in mind that for the first 17 years of her life, she was a pampered princess. Her spirit, Cancer, was used to cut & style her hair. How much training do you think her father would have allowed? So in the span of only about 2 years, she has quickly become one of the strongest mages in the guild. Natsu, Gray, Erza, Cana, Laxus, have all been training hard for well over 10 years. I think it would be more unrealistic for her to be some ass kicker off the bat. I agree that she gets the damsel in distress role a little too often, but physically she is the weakest. Girl needs to start lifting some weights. Sorry this is long winded.

And yes we older people enjoy a good manga/anime as well. I also like video games. I never got the mentality that since I've gotten older I need to give up the things I've that I've enjoyed and brought me pleasure for years. I'm not angry at you or anything. It's a very common mentality I've encountered. For some reason it's perfectly reasonable to play Candy Crush on a smart phone but pulling out a 3DS is childish. 0_o

Chapter 8

Kiss, Fight, What a Night

Natsu POV

I looked deeply into her eyes. I want her lips, and I am going to have them, I had decided and pulled her closer to me. But before I could capture and claim them she leaned her head backwards exposing her neck. I'll take it he decided. And gently nibbled down her neck, slightly scraping it with my canines. I wanted to go even lower, to the gorgeous swells of her breasts, to the hidden nipples beneath her top, when I was suddenly reminded that we were standing in the middle of a crowded dance floor when some drunk asses crashed into us. Knocking us down in the process. Fuck my life.

Talk about abruptly coming back to reality. I pulled back from her, trying to calm down. I decided that I had had enough of being on the dance floor especially since I wanted nothing more than to stay down and ravish her. Probably not the best idea to do so. In fact I wanted to leave, Now. "Let's go back to our room Lucy." I huskily said in her ear. She nodded her head, as I took her hands and lifted her up. I put my arm around her waist, relishing in the feel of her skin. Letting everyone know, that she was mine.

I was feeling inflamed. This went beyond normal horniness. I needed to get out of there before I did things to her that I knew we would regret, but damn the walls in dark corners were looking so tempting right now. Lucy was being less than helpful, by draping herself all over me. I had forgotten how flirty she got when drunk. Maybe I should get her drunk when we're actually alone next time then I wouldn't have to worry about being interrupted…bad Natsu, bad. That is disgusting creeper thinking right there. Shit.

Focus. I needed to get our coats and pay the tab. The cold air will cool my raging hormones down. ..Hopefully…Maybe…Please…Sigh.

The flirt waitress was a little too enthusiastic in her thanks. Had to hold her back from squeezing the life out of me. Is this whole town filled with idiots? Though it was fun watching my drunken Lucy try to give an angry glare and shoo her away. I shoved Lucy's cute butt into her poor excuse of a jacket, and put mine around her as well and wrapped my scarf around her for good measure. At least she does what I tell her to when she's like this. I liked the way she looked in my scarf.

I finally was able to get out of there with her. Though I'm not sure what switch was flipped in Lucy because she was severely trying my resolve. She had her arms around my neck and was nibbling on my ear and neck. "Lucy, you need to stop." I told her in a strained voice.

"Hmmmm, no." She slurred and proceeded to kiss my neck.

I will not take advantage of a drunken Lucy, I will not take advantage of a drunken Lucy. I mentally chanted as I half carried her away from the club. She was really not walking very straight, and had caused me to smack a nearby wall. Okay time to hoist this drunkard up, I decided. My official win since she obviously couldn't walk anymore. Slave for a day here I come.

"Natsu-uuu." She whined at me as I bent down preparing to grab her.

I looked up at her, "What Lucy?"

"Kiss me." She said with a pout.

Yes ma'am, and before I stopped to think of my actions, I quickly stood up and put one of my hands in her hair, pulling just enough to tip her head up, and the other hand held her chin to make sure she couldn't change her mind. I pressed my lips against hers and kissed her with all the passion that had been building up inside of me. She returned my kiss with the same amount of enthusiasm. She moaned in my mouth, and my tongue entered of its own free will. Her tongue, God, she tasted and felt so good. My hands let go and grabbed her waist instead, clutching her curves possessively while I had her pinned against the wall. She moaned in my mouth as I sucked on her tongue. So much for the cooling down effects of the cold air. I was quickly losing all forms of conscience thought.

Thank God, my dragon senses registered and reacted, because I suddenly found I had grabbed Lucy and dodged to the side. My brain had barely acknowledged what I had done when I heard a loud clang as metal hit the wall where we had been moments before. Shit, I was feeling incredibly embarrassed that some assholes had managed to get the jump on me. ON ME! I'm gonna blame the club for fucking up my senses.

Crouching low, I looked around, there were 6 smirking assholes surrounding us. The one with the metal pole was the same asshole from earlier that night who had groped Lucy. "You've made the last mistake you're ever gonna make." I said with a snarl. Lucy was completely unaware of our situation. I was cradling her in my arms, and she randomly just started petting me, and saying weird things about flying. It would have been funny, if not for the situation we found ourselves in. I didn't take my eyes off of them.

"You filthy little shit. You thought I'd just let you fuck with me? Fuck with the leader of the Tundra Devils? Tell you what, give me the slut, and maybe I'll let you live."

I placed her down gently. Making sure no one was too near her. I allowed the insult to fuel my anger even more. Not only had they interrupted us, they called my girl a slut? Heads are gonna roll. My biggest concern was Lucy's protection. She was in no state to take care of herself. I had to deal with them quickly. Without another word I launched myself at the guy with the pole, but had to quickly dodge as a blast of ice shards shot my direction. Now I was real fired up. Let's see how this shitcicle compares to the ice princess.

"Fire Dragon's ROAR!" I aimed in the general direction the ice had come from.

"OH SHIT!" I heard several of them yell. As they scattered to keep from being burnt to a crisp. Hehehehe. 2 ran away just from that? Chicken wusses. I decided to focus on the ice mage first, since he seemed to be the only one with any magic.

I lit my whole body on fire and propelled myself at him. He managed to dodge my punch but I got him with a side kick. Too easy, as I sent his ass flying through a wall. Well shit, Lucy's gonna get mad at me again. "And then there were 3" I said with my best scary face. Over emphasizing a crazed look. "Which one of you should I kill next?"

"Get him!" The leader shithead shouted. 2 at once, maybe I'll actually get a warm up.

"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" The battle lust started clouding my judgment as I went at them. They were quickly dispatched and slammed against building walls.

I saw from the corner of my eye, leader shithead heading for Lucy. There was no way in hell I was letting that slimy bastard touch her again. I easily intercepted him. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" The 'fight' was over. Shit, that was too easy. I had more problems with the Jiggle Butt Gang.

I looked down at the son of a bitch who had ruined my moment. Hauled him up and looked him in the eye. "Didn't I warn you about trying to touch my girl?" I grabbed his right hand, "This is the hand that grabbed her ass earlier." I made my hand heat up to just the point before burning skin. Ignoring his fear filled whimpers, "I think I should burn it off; don't you?" His whiny ass whimpers were annoying me. "Listen closely this time, because I'm not gonna warn you again. Stay the fuck away from what's mine." Then I hit him again for good measure.

I made sure the area was safe as I returned to my drunken princess. She had her arms around her legs and I could feel dark, sad waves emanating off of her. My concern for her was immediate. Bending down next to her, "Lucy, are you alright?"

"He left me all alone."

"Huh?" What the hell? Who did? Looking around just in case another shitface was hiding somewhere.

"Natsu left me all alone." She sounded so despondent.

"I didn't leave you all alone; I had to fight the bad guys!" I know she's drunk but did she completely miss the whole fight?

"Natsu didn't leave me all alone?" Sounding a little more hopeful.

"Nope, I'm right here!" Glad I was getting through to her.

"Oh, pet me."

"Pet…you?" A strong sense of déjà vu was starting to hit me.

"Pat me right here" she said with a goofy smile while pointing at her chin.

My eye started to twitch. But I complied.

"Nyaa!"

I couldn't help it; I started laughing really hard as the memory of that night came back to me. I had been so freaked out when I had returned to the room to find the girls had drunken all the sake. They had gotten super smashed, and had acted really strange. Well Erza was her normal, scary, monster self, but the rest had been almost creepy.

"Would the pretty kitty like a piggy back ride?" Remembering how that night had ended with me having to rush her to the bathroom. She hadn't appreciated me teasing her about it the following day.

"NYAA! Piggyback! Yay!"

I turned around so she could get on, and easily lifted her up. And started heading back to the hotel. I'll openly admit I used the opportunity to feel up her legs while I held her. She was contently purring at me. What a drunken goof.

I guess that just about sums up a typical night for me. I had finally; finally gotten a chance to kiss Lucy and wait a minute…Holy Shit, I had kissed Lucy! I stopped in my tracks. We kissed! I've kissed a girl... Was I any good? Did I do it right? She moaned; moaning is a good thing right? She was really good, does that mean she's done it before? All of a sudden I was feeling really self-conscience and super annoyed. Should I ask her? I thought as I started walking again.

"Hey Lucy?"

"Hmmmm?"

"Um…Are you cold?" Shit, I'm a chicken. How do you ask a girl that without sounding like a pervert?

"Uh-uh, you warm."

(In case you were wondering about the deja vu I was referring to the anime episode OVA#4)

I quickly made my way back to the hotel. No use asking her any questions in her current state. (I am not wussing out.) We made it back very quickly. As we were riding up the elevator, I was fully convinced Lucy was asleep, so she slightly startled me by randomly saying.

"You smell good."

That sounded like something I would say, "Um, Thank you," I said with a smile on my face. While thinking what a cute drunkard she was.

Then she did something that caught me completely off guard. She licked my neck. "Shit", I said as I stumbled a little. "Lucy what are you doing?" I said trying not to squeak. Her actions were sending shivers down my spine.

"You taste good."

How do you respond to that? I attempted to swallow the pooling spit in my mouth and willed the elevator to hurry up. When the door finally opened, I quickly made my way to our room. This girl is driving me nuts. As I approached the room she did yet another thing that caught me off guard. She started sucking my neck! Holy shit… that… feels good. You'd think such an action would be gross or weird, but instead it sent instant signals to my dick. Inside, gotta get inside.

"Lucy, you're killing me." Where the fuck is my key? FINALLY!

I entered quickly slamming the door behind us with my foot. I went to the nearby couch and tried to put her down. I had intended to put her down and make a hasty retreat, but she managed to pull me down with her. She had her legs wrapped around my waist still. At least she finally let go of my neck. There was a pleasent throbbing happening in the area she had attacked.

About to unwrap her from me, she grabbed me and started kissing down my neck. I grabbed her hands, "Lucy, you need stop." Gotta be the responsible one.

"Don't wanna." As she pulled her arms free and started rubbing my chest. I allowed her hands to explore.

I was struggling to recall why exactly I wanted her to stop. I leaned my head back and allowed her more access to what she obviously desired.I was very quickly being swept away. This is what I've been wanting for so long. I'm not forcing her to do anything, she's doing it to me. I reasoned. A small moan escaped my lips.

Oh right, taking advantage of a drunk girl is considered wrong. Damn it all to hell.

With that thought, I started trying to rise again. Emphasis on the try. Lucy isn't as weak as people like to think. Obviously if I was making a true effort she wouldn't have been able to keep me down, but seriously who the fuck would give a serious effort in my situation? I found myself being sat on by Lucy. More accurately being straddled by the girl. With a my face completely eye level with her beautiful chest.

Now what am I supposed to do?

It was August 2001. I was at home with my best friend, playing Pokemon Puzzle, waiting for Michael to come by. He was late, and I was feeling kind of annoyed. We were gonna go out. I didn't give it too much thought since I was kicking butt at my game. I was the undefeated queen at Pokemon Puzzle. Michael was the only one who came close to beating me.

When he was over an hour late, and I was so not happy, the phone finally rang. It was Michael. About time. I thought.

"Where are you?" I asked in a harsh tone.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I got in a car accident." What did I just hear?

"Oh my God, are you okay?"

"Yeah, the car is totaled though."

"What happened?"

"My breaks gave out. "

"Are you hurt?"

"No just more shakin."

"Do you need anything?"

"No, but I have to cancel tonight."

"Of course I understand. Do you need me to come over?"

"I'll be okay."

We hung up, but this unsettled feeling was just sitting in my gut. He was fine, obviously he called and everything. He was alive. I know I was feeling guilty for thinking mean things about him, but this feeling was even more intense than that. I had to see him, but that made no logical sense to me.

I went back, and friend asked what was wrong.

"Michael was in a car accident. But he's fine." And explained the phone conversation.

"Are you going over?"

"He said he was fine."

"But you really want to go over."

"Yeah, I do."

"Go ahead, I'll head home, call me."

I quickly left the house and hopped on the bus to his house. And when I got there, he was pleasantly surprised. He gave me a tight hug and I gave him a hug in return. I had to force tears not to fall. What if I had lost him? Tomorrow isn't promised, what if I had lost the best thing in my life?
