AN: GO SEAHAWKS!

Happy SuperBowl 49 day! I hope everyone is rooting for the Seahawks! Lol, it's okay if you aren't and I hope you don't stop reading my fic because I am… that would be really sad. O.o

I'm having some major writers block when it comes to chapter 8. I know what I want to happen I just can't write it correctly, so if it is a little late, don't kill me. If anything it will be shorter than the chapter 6 and 7, just so I can get something out for you guys. =]

Anyways here is the latest chapter I hope you enjoy!

Normal POV

When news of Loke's disappearance spread around to all of the members, everyone returned to the guild to re-group. Everyone tried to cope with the loss of their family, going as far as refusing to drink and fight with each other; too upset to do much else than stay close to those they were closest to. It had been a couple of days since everyone had arrived, and mere minutes before they would all head out again when Virgo appeared by the bar. For a second everyone was stunned into silence before all hell broke loose, with everyone clamoring for her attention. Ignoring all questions, Virgo looked around the guild for someone, not seeing the person she was looking for she headed towards the stairs.

Team Natsu, growing impatient with being ignored blocked her path demanding answers. Virgo wasn't fazed a bit, easily dodging their grabbing hands; she was too focused on the team that she didn't notice the other set of hands as they reached for her. Virgo glared at the person who had caught her, not use to people touching her.

"This is ridiculous woman! Tell us where Bunny Girl is!" Gajeel growled with uncontrolled anger, as he shook her; squeezing tighter when Virgo remained silent. For a split second it looked like Virgo was enjoying the pain of Gajeel's grip, but that blissful moment was broken the moment she felt liquid running down her arms.

Seeing the blood stunned the guild and Virgo, enough to make her transform into her 'ape' form, as Natsu put it, making Gajeel release his hold. Taking the opening Virgo threw Gajeel into Team Natsu, knocking them all down as she continued on her warpath; ignoring her bloody state of her arms. With no one else blocking her path Virgo was able to get up the stairs and too Master's office in no time.

The whole guild had stopped paying attention to Virgo when they had realized her destination was the Master's office. Instead they were all staring at Gajeel, never seeing him lose control like that before. They didn't know if he had intentionally pierced Virgo's arms with the bloodied spikes on his palms or if he had lost control. By the look on his face, and the fact that he was staring at his red hands the guild assumed it had all been an accident. Before anyone could get a word out to Gajeel to question him, he stormed off to his usual table sans Levy. He ignored all of the looks he got as he calmly wiped his hands clean of the offending blood, and then proceeded to eat his iron scraps as if nothing had happened; all the while staring at the staircase, waiting for the answers he had been denied. "Not now Half Pint, just sit there quietly." He said, not even turning towards Levy as she sat next to him.

Knowing not to bother him when he was in one of his moods, Levy turned to Lily and picked him up, "Any idea why he nearly tore off Virgo's arms?" She whispered into his ear. Hearing growling next to them, all Lily did was shake his head, indicating Levy should stay silent. Sighing she rested her head on top of Lily's, waiting for Virgo or Master to appear.

Team Natsu were too worried about where Lucy and Loke were to take notice of how Gajeel had acted. They would have followed Virgo to Makarov's office, but Laxus blocked their way, with his arms crossed and the Thunder God Tribe backing him. "Move" Natsu said with his fist engulfed in flames, ready to forcibly remove them, from their path. Evergreen, Bickslow and Freed prepared for an attack, seeing the rest of Team Natsu gear up, along with the hot head.

The guild was divided on which spectacle to watch, the brooding Gajeel or the potential fight between the two strongest teams in the guild; being that they were in fact Fairy Tail, everyone prepared to watch the battle; from a safe distance of course. At this point Laxus was surrounded by his lightening focusing solely on Natsu who was sucking in a breath to attack.

Before he could release his Fire Dragon's Roar, the door to the office was opened, revealing Master and Virgo. Everyone rushed to the bottom of the staircase, crowding the armed mages, stopping their potential skirmish.

"Why weren't her spirits able to find her before?"

"Is she alright?"

"Where did Loke go, is he with Lucy?"

"Where is she? When will she be back?"

The entire guild was shouting out questions, making it impossible to distinguish who was asking what question.

"SILENCE!" Makarov shouted, waiting for everyone to calm down. "Virgo came here to let us know that both Loke and Lucy are alive and well. Her spirits weren't able to find her before because the Infinity Clock had put a barrier around her to prevent any harm from befalling her when she fell from the sky. She was found by another guild, one who has taken good care of her in the past fortnight. Virgo said that Lucy will not be returning right away, and that we aren't able to know her location, or the name of the guild she is at." When he was done the guild continued spewing out questions, angered at the answers they had gotten.

"Lucy belongs here; if she is recovering she should do it here, where we can take care of her." Gray yelled.

"Hime, knows that you all miss her and that you are worried, that's why she sent me almost immediately after she woke up. She misses you all and will return when she is ready." Virgo said. When she spoke Team Natsu looked at her noticing the bandages that were wrapped around her arms.

Stepping forward Wendy spoke up to be heard over the obnoxiously loud crowd of mages. "I…I can heal your arms for you, Virgo-sama. I mean, if you want me to." She offered with her head down.

"Thank you for offering Wendy-kun, but once I return to the Spirit World the majority of the wounds will heal." Virgo replied, looking lovingly towards the Sky Dragon Slayer. "I'll tell Lucy you all are anxiously awaiting her return." Virgo said, nodding to Master, signaling that she was leaving.

Evading Laxus, Natsu jumped up on the balcony trying to get a hold of Virgo before she could vanish. He was a second too late, reaching for the spirit that was no longer there, falling on the ground in the spot she had been occupying. "DAMMIT" Natsu growled as he punched the floor. Pushing himself off the ground Natsu jumped off the balcony "Let's go Happy." He called before leaving the guild a second behind Gajeel, dragging Lisanna along with him.

Everyone followed their lead, intending to continue their search as planned, not entirely placated with Virgo's news.

-2 weeks later-

It's been 3 and a-half weeks, 24 days, since Lucy had been seen last, 17 days, since Loke had disappeared and 14 days since Virgo had delivered the news about them. Even knowing that they were safe Fairy Tail had resumed their search, much to the chagrin of their master, who had wanted them to begin training for the Grand Magic Games, the only way to pay off of the debts that had accumulated over the past seven years. Everyone refused to focus on the games, more focused on what seemed like a never ending search. Surprisingly Team Natsu had split up, deciding to search for their lost Celestial Mage separately, having paired up with someone else.

Natsu and Happy chose to pair up with Lisanna because of how she reminded them of Lucy, able to calm Natsu's motion sickness, and fretting over them, like Lucy had. Over the course of the past four weeks Natsu had realized that his feelings for Lisanna were more than mere friendship. He had come to the realization one morning when she had left camp without telling the two boys, wanting to surprise them with their favorite meals. She had been gone barely an hour but when they woke up to her gone and couldn't find her they broke down. When Lisanna came back to the camp it was in tatters with Natsu and Happy bawling on the ground. Since then they have been inseparable.

Gray on the other hand had wanted to search alone, wanting to isolate himself from everyone; reanalyzing the whole Infinity Castle disaster. But everywhere he went he had a shadow with him, protecting his back and making sure he had everything he needed. During all of his thinking he had made a decision, a decision to stop taking Juvia for granted because one day she may disappear like his little sister had. One night when Juvia was about to lay down she felt two muscular arms wrap around her from behind, and a head rest on her shoulder. Resisting the urge to melt she stood there hoping it wasn't one of her many fantasies. "Gr-Gra-Gray-sama is something wrong?"

"Stay with me tonight, please." Squeezing her tighter he continued "I'm sorry I haven't addressed your feelings for me, never giving you an answer, always blowing you off; that's over now, I promise. I love you Juvia, I have for a while now, I was just too afraid to admit it. I want to spend every possible moment with you, protecting you, loving you and being with you always. I- -"

During his speech Juvia had turned around in his arms to face him. She silenced him with a kiss. "Juvia loves you too Gray-sama." They stayed up all night, talking about themselves, learning all they could about each other; making up for lost time.

Erza, unable to contact Jellal, focused on all of Fairy Tail, keeping tabs on them, making sure they were alright and accounted for. She paid close attention to Wendy, seeing how upset she was; both of them were missing their sister and Loke. They partnered up, gaining the most comfort from each other.

Surprisingly Gajeel was taking it nearly as bad as Team Natsu. No one had the time to dwell on this unusual behavior because of the never-ending search, but one person did. Mira couldn't understand why Gajeel cared almost as much as Team Natsu and why he had inadvertently injured one of their allies and friends; since he joined Fairy Tail he had never hurt anyone of them, besides guild fights. In addition to that odd behavior he was even quieter and more anti-social than usual. He already wasn't one to socialize with others but Bunny Girl's disappearance reverted him back to the way he behaved right after joining Fairy Tail; he refused to check in himself, saying he had another lead to follow or saw no need to see us, instead he sent Lily in his place. Lily explained that Gajeel wasn't taking this well at all; after the whole Phantom Lord fiasco he had greatly admired Lucy and wanted to get to know her more, but she was always off with her team or getting kidnapped, never giving him the chance.

Lucy POV

Three weeks have passed since I first woke up in the infirmary and I have never felt stronger. I have been training almost every day for 10 hours with my spirits. All of this training has enabled me to comfortably call upon 2 spirits at once and supply them with magic for hours on end. The last time we timed it I was able to have them out for 10 hours without fighting, and 5 hours while they fought. To say that I was exhausted every time we timed my training was an understatement. When the timer stopped I was always drenched in sweat and panting for breath. It took everything I had left to get onto the bed before I passed out, all without showering. To say that I was disgusted when I woke up was an understatement; I have had to do so many loads of laundry it wasn't funny. Even though it was exhausting I enjoyed it, because of it I was able to keep Plue with me while I slept. His presence helped with my loneliness; I missed Fairy Tail so much. Since I had joined we have never been separated for this long and I never wanted to again.

All throughout my training Capricorn has surprising encouraged me and told me I was doing wonderfully, and had said that I exceeded expectations. He took Crux's warning to heart and refused to let me try summoning three spirits at once, fearing the worst. He said he wanted to be sure I would survive before we attempted something that dangerous, how he would know that I didn't know.

A day or two after I had woken up I sent Virgo to Master with a note. I assured him that I was alive and well and that I would not be returning for several more weeks. When Virgo had returned to me after delivering my message and retrieving some more of my things from home, she had bandages on her both arms. I was mid-swing of my whip when I noticed. I immediately went to her, dropping my whip, so I could inspect her arms, she tried to stop me by saying it was already healed but I needed to see for myself. I gave a sigh of relief when I saw scabs already formed, but I was confused on how she had gotten them, she had gone to Fairy Tail and no one would harm her there. Seeing and most likely hearing my confused thoughts she answered mentally.

"It was an accident, Hime. He didn't mean to, he was just concerned about you." Virgo thought with a smirk while replaying what had happened in her head.

"Gajeel?! I'm going to kill him for hurting you!" I said as I applied ointment on her arms, to speed the healing. When I was done I returned to my training; fuming I unleashed my anger upon my unknowing opponent. Luckily it was Capricorn, because I wasn't in the mood for holding back. I gave it my all, but was still unable to land more than a few attacks on him. By the end of the training session I could see how impressed Caprico was, but I didn't have the energy to rejoice; exhausted with how much energy I had used and still furious at Gajeel.

At first I had planned on going back to Fairy Tail after I had trained a little to see everyone and raid the guild's library – Sabertooth's was sorely lacking in every category- but luckily Rufus had a couple of books that could be helpful; unfortunately they were in a couple of languages he and I did not know. Fortunately he agreed to let me borrow them and take them to my guild, with the promise that I wouldn't be a stranger and would visit them all again. But I decided to stay longer when I overheard Rogue talking to Sting about their Celestial Mage. When I first heard about Yukino I was excited to meet her and pick her brain about Polaris, and her spirits, but as I listened to them talking about her more and more my excitement turned to anger. How dare she treat her spirits like objects instead of people! From what I heard, something bad had happened to her in the past but that did not excuse her for treating others just as badly. I saw how Angel's abuse and attitude had affected Gemini and I didn't want that for any of the other spirits, whether they were contracted to me or not. When she finally returned I would try to get her to see reason but if she refused I'd have to beat some sense into her. And if she still ignored me I would have Virgo find them in the Spirit World and let them know they were always welcome to open a contract with me.

Thinking of the Spirit world made me think about how I still haven't heard from Loke, and how when I touch his key, I feel nothing. I would be out of my mind with worry if it hadn't been for Virgo giving me daily reports on him. Whoever had cast that spell on them was sure hard to find, apparently the last time they had seen the spirit was back when mom was alive, since then no one has seen or heard from that spirit.

Although Loke hadn't seen me for a while he was mad at me for my decision to not return to Fairy Tail right away. Each message Virgo delivered to me had orders to return, saying they could protect me until he returned. He didn't understand that I didn't want to be protected; I wanted to do the protecting. I wanted to train to become stronger so I could stop being a hindrance to the guild. Each time I got kidnapped, or wasn't strong enough to defeat the enemy someone got hurt. Natsu almost disappeared into Midnight's dark void last time! I cringed at every memory of all the injuries that were inflicted on my family because of me. Phantom Lord was first and foremost in my mind, if I had been able to defend myself against Gajeel and his lackeys I could have saved Reedus from getting hurt. Although I had forgiven Gajeel for his past mistakes I was still wary of him. It's not that I didn't trust him it was that whenever I was in the guild I could feel him watching me, it was very disconcerting. Levy had noticed too, and had tried to question Gajeel but he just shrugged it off and denied doing it –disappearing on a request the next day. Before the whole mess of the Infinity Clock began I had decided to confront him and demand an answer, but that never happened.

Sighing I leaned my head down on the table I was sitting at waiting for Rogue to arrive. In the past few weeks I had taken Rogue's freak out over Julien paying attention to me to heart. He had tried to talk to me some more the next day but without my anger at Capricorn's jibe at my weight I was able to focus more on him and got the same 'wrong' feeling Rogue had warned me about. I was still polite to him when he talked to me but I noticed that he asked very probing questions and would stare at me when I was talking to Rogue or Rufus. Unlike Gajeel's glances at me, I could feel malice behind it. So I just avoided him as much as possible without being rude. I could tell he had noticed my attempts at distance by the glare he was sending my way, even though he tried to disguise it with a smile.

Feeling my distress Virgo appeared to keep me company as I waited. She quietly sat next to me and put her arm around my shoulder squeezing me to her side; feeling her I lifted my head and smiled at her.

We continued like that for a couple more minutes until we were interrupted by someone clearing their throat. Knowing that if it were Rogue he would have just said my name I was curious as to who it was. Looking over my shoulder I saw a woman about my age and height, but with short white hair. She was wearing a short white dress with blue trim and a matching cape.

"Is this how other Celestial Mages treat their spirits? How pathetic, you're treating it like its human. How weak can you get?" scoffed the woman. I assumed it was Yukino, Sabertooth's resident Celestial Mage.

I felt Virgo tense up, ready to defend me. I put a restraining hand on her arm and turned fully towards Yukino. "They have a right to be treated with respect and love just like any other human does. It's not weakness that I am displaying, weakness is demeaning those who care about you and fight for you. Our spirits can be great friends, when given the chance." I said.

"Like I said pathetic. If they are such great 'friends' then where were they when I needed them the most? Why did they just sit in their fucking world and watch my torture for almost a year? They're nothing but tools." She said, rolling her eyes as she did.

"You disgust me, they aren't just mindless dolls for you to use. A real Celestial Mage should respect her spirits and worry over them as they do us." Standing up I walked towards the training grounds. "If you're up to it, I'll show you how a real Celestial Mage fights." I said as I walked outside, knowing she would follow and accept my challenge.

Rogue POV

When I got to the guild I couldn't see Lucy outside on the bench like she usually was and assumed that she was running behind like I had been. Every morning we met at the front of the guild because she was uncomfortable with the stares she got from Julien. Then we would have breakfast at 7am, that way we could talk without all of the noise of the guild. It was nice; it was just the two of us plus Frosch, who usually fell back asleep in Lucy's arms, or on her head.

I was late today because I couldn't find Frosch, and tore my apartment apart looking for her only to find her under my bed in the furthest corner by the wall. Apparently she had found a new friend, a spider, and had chased it around the place all night and ended up under the bed where she fell asleep because she had, had too much fun with her 'friend'.

This was the worst day to be late! Sting had told me last night that Yukino would be returning today, sometime in the afternoon though. Knowing how vicious she could be I had wanted to warn Lucy that Yukino would be returning today but got caught up in Fro's story. Considering we were the first people at the guild I thought I had enough time to warn Lucy, but apparently not. When I heard a cry in the training yard, I grabbed Frosch and ran towards the noise. As I got inside the guild I could smell Yukino and Lucy's scent mingling. Shit how did Yukino get here so fast? I was completely oblivious to the fact that most of the guild was also there, too focused on finding Lucy.

Slamming the door to the training grounds open I skidded to a stop, surprised at the sight. Lucy was looking at a tree with an expression I had never seen her make before. It was an evil smile, one that promised pain. "Fro doesn't like that face Rogue." Frosch said burrowing deeper into my arms. All I could do was nod in agreement.

Looking up the tree I saw the white haired mage I had intended to warn Lucy about, tangled up in the branches. I wondered how she got up there. I thought as I turned towards Lucy, when I saw her unfurl her whip, Fleuve d'etoiles. Oh, that's how she got there. Smirking, I crossed my arms and got into a more comfortable stance ready to watch the rest of the battle. "Frosch go get Minerva and Sting please". I said watching her walk back to the guild.

Just as Fro entered the building Yukino detangled herself and called upon Pisces, while Lucy summoned Taurus and Cancer with just a touch of her hand surprising both Yukino and I. She really has been training these past two weeks; here I thought she was just meditating. "Fro got everyone" shook me from my thoughts. When she said everyone she meant everyone. I hadn't realized how late I actually was until I looked at my watch and saw that it was a little past nine.

At least with everyone watching they would all see how she could hold her own against an opponent, other than her spirits. This way everyone would stop calling her weak – something that had started after Sting's out-burst. I understood how it felt to be treated like a pariah, which is how I knew how strong she was. She never let it show how it affected her, always keeping a smile on her face and acting like her cheery self. From talking to her and listening in on how she interacted with her spirits I could tell that she held back when she was fighting her spirits, not wanting to risk hurting them in anyway.

Looking at Sting I saw that he was just happy to finally see this fight, same as Minerva. They both had enjoyed watching Lucy fight against Scorpio, Capricorn, Cancer and Taurus inside of the guild, watching her get thrown into the walls and down the stairs. Their favorite training exercise was when she fought Aquarius at the nearby river, where Aquarius did everything possible to drown her and sometimes sent her flying down a waterfall. When they first watched the skirmish with Aquarius Sting and Minerva, along with the entire guild stood close by laughing, but they soon learned that Aquarius' rage wasn't reserved for Lucy alone. After that they watched from the guild's roof, a safe enough distance away to not get in the way again. Since Yukino's lacrima call the guild started making bets on who would win. Knowing how ruthless she could be, all but three people bet on Yukino winning the fight. All they think about is being the strongest guild in Fiore and having the strongest members.

Normal POV

"Okay you two keep the fight as clean as possible. Yukino, you know the rules, if you lose the battle you'll lose your S-Class rank. Lucy, since you currently not a member of our guild, if you somehow defeat Yukino, you will be allowed to join the guild." They didn't even wait for Minerva to finish before Yukino attacked with everything she had.

When Pisces appeared there were two giant fish, one was white and the other was black. Both were extremely strong and fast, keeping both Taurus and Cancer busy by weaving around them and nipping at them. Once the white one had distracted the two spirits the black one dove for Lucy thinking her defenseless. Sensing that their master was in danger Taurus and Cancer looked on knowing Lucy could handle herself. Everyone thought Lucy was about to lose the battle, all except Rogue. He just looked on calmly waiting for Lucy to act.

Once again, Lucy unfurled her whip and sent the black fish crashing into the trees. Shocked Yukino and the other fish didn't see the two spirits attack and were sent in the same direction as the first. Both of the fish were slow to get up, trying to untangle themselves quick enough to not anger their master.

Within seconds they were untangled and transformed into humans. The white fish turned into an older looking woman with jet black hair, and a tight, form fitting light blue onesie, with what looked like shells as accents; her breasts almost spilling out between the shells. Whereas the black fish transformed into a tan man, a little older than Lucy was, with white hair flowing behind him. After their transformation they stood beside each other. "Mama, getting summoned in this form means…" started the man, "…annihilation of the enemy, son" the woman finished. While they were talking and enjoying their reunion of sorts, Cancer quickly went in and cut down 'mama', her hair in shreds when he was done. When the 'son' saw his 'mama' unconscious on the floor he shot towards Lucy yelling "Water Spear Strike". Unable to block the attack Lucy went flying when the water hit her. Unlike Yukino, she didn't have the trees to cushion her fall; instead she slammed into the brick of the guild, sliding down it in a hump; leaving a trail of blood in her wake.

Surprisingly Lucy wasn't down for the count, she moaned for a bit before she reached behind her head pulling her hand back to reveal blood on it; slowly getting up with the help of Cancer. While Cancer was holding her up, Taurus charged and knocked the son clear into the air, until he couldn't be seen anymore. "No one hurts Lucy-san's beaooootiful body!"

Yukino, angry with her spirit forced their gate shut, promising a proper punishment later. Calling out Libra, she quickly had her change the direction of gravity causing Lucy, Cancer and Taurus to float up into the sky.

Lucy closed their gates preventing them from flying away like Pisces had. When her spirits were safe Lucy latched onto a tree branch with her whip to stop her accent, barely holding on. Suddenly gravity shifted again and Lucy was swinging on her whip laughing as if it was some sort of ride. Yukino got angrier with each passing minute trying to get Lucy to let go of her whip by constantly shifting the direction of gravity. Through it all Lucy was laughing and enjoying herself.

"Fucking useless" Yukino said as she forced Libra's gate closed as she held up her most powerful key, the Thirteenth key. Yukino didn't know what set it belonged in, it was an unknown. Even Rufus couldn't find its origin in all of his memories.

When Lucy finally stopped swinging she jumped down, swaying, dizzy from her head injury but ready to finish this fight. She had, had fun swinging and all but the way Yukino treated her spirits upset her too much to enjoying anything else. In addition to Yukino's treatment of her spirits, everyone could tell that Lucy was finding it harder and harder to stay conscious with the amount of blood that was flowing down the back of her head and the way she was swaying, barely able to stay standing.

"Open, Gate of the Snake Charmer, Ophiuchus." Yukino yelled. All of a sudden a mechanical looking snake appeared; pitch black with armor plating and larger than Pisces had been in their fish form.

"So this is her final key. If she is going to go all out then so will I!" Lucy muttered as she summoned Gemini.

Seeing the two cute, blue floating spirits arrive had everyone sweat dropping; confusing the guild. Every one of them were wondering the same thing, what are they supposed to do against the giant snake?

All Lucy did was nod to her spirit, then they transformed into an exact copy of Lucy; except with her bunny pajamas on instead of her regular clothes. Everyone just shook their head in disbelief and laughed hysterically at the second Lucy's choice of attire. Was she giving up already?

With that creepy smile, the two Lucy's stood next to each other with their hands connected.

Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens...
All the stars, far and wide...
Show me thy appearance...
With such shine.
Oh Tetrabiblos...
I am the ruler of the stars...
Aspect become complete...
Open thy malevolent gate.
Oh 88 Stars of the heaven...
Shine!
Urano Metria!

As they chanted a gold magic circle appeared beneath their feet, surrounding them with light, as if a spot light was trained on them. When they finished the chant dozens of light meteors shot from them towards Ophiuchus and Yukino hitting them from every direction.

When the light disappeared, Ophiuchus was gone but Yukino was still standing. She was swaying more than Lucy, but was unable to stay standing and fell into unconsciousness before she even hit the ground. A second later Lucy fell to her hands and knees, panting in exertion. Gemini was by her, making sure that she was alright, concerned with the head wound that was still bleeding.

All of Sabertooth stared in amazement at what had to be one of the most powerful spells they had ever seen a Mage use. Looking towards the caster they saw that her eyes still reflected the magic circle, but it was slowly receding. Even though she was on the ground, it was still obvious as to who had won the fight.

Once the magic had left her eyes Lucy glanced at Frosch and Rogue then fell down even further, almost laying down now, trying to stay conscious. Rogue and Frosch pushed people out of their way trying to get to Lucy. "Lucy, Lucy are you alright? Someone call of the doctor!" Rogue yelled as he neared her, smelling all of the blood that was coming from her head.

Before he could pick her up, Loke suddenly appeared and carried her back to the infirmary with due haste, telling her that she should have called Capricorn, to oversee her first time using that spell since she had relearned it. As they got further away it occurred to everyone that if this had been her first time using this spell then what would it be like after she had practiced it. They all shuddered at the thought.

AN: Again thank you all for the lovely reviews and comments! Hope you enjoyed the chapter.

I know some people aren't gonna be happy about the non-existent friendship between Yukino and Lucy, but you never know what will happen in the future. ;)

Let me know what you think. I've never written a fight scene before. ._.

wingchan7: It would have been nice if she had saved her. But in this fic they are far from friends. =/

Dragon'sHost: Thank you! =]

0Bluemoon0: I know poor Yukino, but unfortunately their first meeting doesn't bode well for their future relationship. =[

Guest: Thanks!

TChacha: Lol oops. =] Well I'm glad you found a new drug even if it wasn't mine initially. I agree that Dragon'sHost work is amazing! I love her fics. 3

Sorry that it felt a little rushed, you might think this one was rushed too. But I promise the next chapter with have plenty of Rogue and Lucy time. I'll try to show them interacting in future chapters too. I just felt like the fic was going slow, but no one has said that or hinted at it so I don't know why I thought it was. XD

Evil, basketballs to the face hurt like hell. ='[ Your poor partner.

StiLu RoLu JeLu Love: Angry turtle face? I have never seen/heard of that one before. lol
