Chapter seven: A new member.
Sup guys! I can't believe I have 25 followers! I never even thought I'd make it to 2! Enjoy my next chapter!
Lucy looked around the guild frightened. She had no idea who to talk to and no idea what to think. She had finally joined the guild of her dreams, but here she was standing around like a loner. The next thing that happened though surprised her. A pink haired mage she met walked through the guilds door. At first he didn't see her, but then their eyes met and he faked a small smile. She had no idea what his deal was. Heck she barely knew who he was, but she made her way to him nonetheless.
"I didn't think I would see you here." Lucy smiled as she stopped in front of him. Natsu smiled softly at her.
"Well life is full of surprises. Did you get into the guild like you wanted to?" Natsu asked as the corners of his mouth threatened to turn into his wide grin.
"I actually did. Why didn't you tell me you were in..." Before Lucy could continue, Erza and the rest of the group came marching in. Natsu would've visibly paled if he wasn't in the mood he was currently in. He didn't want to see his friends at all now and he didn't want to be near the young celestial mage. He didn't have the luxury to have anyone so why even bother.
"Natsu Dragneel! Where have you been all night!?" Erza shouted as she marched straight towards him. The guild fell silent immediately, scared they would envoke Erza's wrath even further. Now Lucy actually paled. Did she just say Dragneel? Natsu on the other and stood his ground. He wasn't in the mood to fight but apparently it was inevitable.
"Out." He simply stated calmly.
"What the hell flame brain? Out where? We were waiting for you to come home!" Gray snarled as he walked alongside Erza.
"I wasn't in the mood to sleep. I went on a job that's it." Natsu stated.
"You didn't take a quest off of the job board salamander! Your mother was nagging in my ears all night." Gajeel joined in as well.
"Actually..." Mira intervened as she held up a flier for them to see. The job was a simple and easy one, where Natsu had to find a lost love spell ring. The reward was about 50,000 juels.
"There you have it now can I go. I have something I have to get to. I just came here to see how our new member was doing." Natsu stated as he stepped aside and revealed a blushing Lucy. Natsu then made his way to the guilds door, but before he could go anywhere Erza grabbed him by the collor.
"Not on my watch Natsu. Gray and Gajeel is going to apologize for yesterday and then I need you and Gray's help with something." The guild literally gasped as the words left Erza's mouth. She never needed help with anything.
"What?!" Both Gray and Gajeel shouted. Natsu physically felt the nerve they just struck. They were good friends of his but now they've gone to far. They have no idea what happened on that island and they had no idea what he had lost. His humanity was on top of the list.
"I'll pass. I'd rather brood than go on a job with that ice freak." Natsu emphasized 'ice freak' so much that Gray felt the cold shoulder Natsu was giving him.
"Look man I'm sorry for what I had said." Gray stated as he realized Natsu was beyond angry at him.
"Just cause you apologized doesn't mean I'm going with." Natsu stated as he unhooked Erza's hand from his collor. Lucy along with the rest of the guild gaped at Natsu's actions. He was so looking for it.
"For someone who was stranded on an island for five years you'd think he'll learn how to survive and ignoring Erza is not a way to survive." Gajeel stated as he shoved his hands in his pockets.
"That is so it!" Natsu yelled as he punched Gajeel straight into the guilds bar. Missing Mira by a few metres. "You can mess with me for all I care, but bring that place up one more time and I will put more than my fist through you." Natsu stated angrilly.
"Alright Salamander. We get it don't bring it up." Gajeel groaned as he tried to get up. Natsu extinguished his flames before he continued.
"No you don't get it." Natsu stated as he looked down sorrowfully. "Take Lucy on the job. I've got something else I have to take care of." And with that Natsu left the guild.
"Gajeel!" Levy shouted. Clearly pissed at him for what he had done.

"So what do you need us for?" Gray asked as he slumped back in his seat. He, Erza and Lucy was currently on their way to Clover. Why? No one new except Erza.
"I heard about a uprising dark guild on my last mission. Now that master is away on that meeting of his I think we should investigate." Erza stated as she gave away as little information as possible.
"That's very descriptive. Thank you Erza." At this comment, Lucy slapped Gray behind his head causing him to turn to her.
"Ow what was that for?!"
"I might not know you guys so long but I'd at least like to make it to Clover with you in one piece. There is no need to invoke Erza's wrath."
"There tou have it Gray and here I thought you were the smart one." Erza stated with a smile.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Lucy smiled brightly at the two mages. She would get use to them easily. She just wished Natsu could join them.

Natsu lay on top of the train in his green suit. He was taking deep breaths as the train sped forwards. The halfway station wasn't far now. He listened as hard as he could to pick up on what his friends were saying. He at least laughed when he heard Lucy slap Gray behind his head. 'That's my girl.' He thought to himself out loud.
He wondered how he was going to handle being so close to her while he couldn't even touch her. He had a responsibility now, but it was still going to be really hard. Boy did he wish he could talk to happy now. He needed his best friend. Thankfully he would be able to talk to him. He was the only person he could talk to.
