Natsu was almost immediately hit by a chair.

But he dodged it just in time for it to hit the door and break into a million peices.

He looked at it and sweatdropped, and looked at the rest of the guild.

It was hell.

Everyone was fighting someone, much like those bar fights on TV. Except there was magic and explosions and other stuff like that. Juvia was trying to blast Levy with hot water, but Levy was being blocked by a wallor iron which Gajeel was munching on, hitting Juvia with his iron dragon blow. Elfman was swinging Freed around, and Lucy was standing ontop of three bodies, which belonged to jet, droy and gray. Mira was attacking Erza, and Lazus was just sitting at the top, watching all of the idiots fight.

Natsu sighed and yelled, "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?"

Everyone stopped, and most of the people said "Lucy started it!"

Natsu turned to Lucy, and his heart dropped. her eyes were a bright golden, and her pupils were a darler gold. Some people seen his panicked expressipon, but then he hid it with dissapointment. "Lucy, why the hell would you start this?"

She shrugged. "Why not?"

Natsu sighed. "Alright....just....ugh. Guys clean upthis place. Its barley 10 am. No need to start fighting...." Everybody looked at him, and Gray said from under Lucy's left foot, "Since when did you not care about guild fights?"

"Since a year ago. Remember that, Ice Princess?" Natsu growled. Gray flinched slightly, and touched his fire like scar going from his left eyebrow to the right side of his lip.

*flashback*

Natsu and Gray were fighting as usual, throwing verbal insults and a few punches.

"Ice Prick!"

"Flame Brain!"

"Snow Cone!"

"Ashes fart!"

"Ice Shit!"

"Flame shit!"

"Droopy eyes!"

"Squinty eyes!"

Suddenly, Natsu stopped. He looked down, remembering what someone used to say when this happened.

'Guys! Shut up! Your comebacks suck!"

"Whats wrong, flame shit? You finally lost your nerve?" Gray teased, and smirked.

Natsu was silent.

"Or are you just thinking of how Lucy left you, and gone into sad puppy mode? Pathetic." Gray snorted.

Natsu froze at the name. "What?" he said, his voice low.

"You are pathetic. Getting sad over a stupid girl who left you." Gray was trying to provoke him, and itwas working.

natsu growled. "Shut up, Gray."

"Or what? You are gonna cry a river and try to drown me?" Gray leaned down and growled, "Lucy left you. Now get over it."

Now Get Over It.

The words echoed in Natsu's head. He seen red,and he stood up. Anger attempted tp control him, and this time he let it take over.

"Fire Dragon....WHIP!" Natsu screamed.

A magic no one has ever seen before came out of Natsu's hand. It was long and coiled, like a whip, but it was made of red and white flames. Natsu lashed his right hand, and struck Gray's side. Gray cried out, and Natsu lashed his left hand and he caught Gray's face. Gray screamed, and Natsu extinguished the flames and said, "Don't ever talk about her again,or next time, I will actually try."

Gray's face was bleeding from a 3rd degree burn, and he was coiled on the floor.

Natsu's eyes widened as the red of his vision faded away. He looked at Gray, groaning in pain and he stepped back. "G-Gray?"

Natsu was pushed aside as Gray was rushed to the infirmary.

*end of flashback*

Natsu smirked. "I don't want to give you another scar in a more sensitive spot." He turned around. "Everybody participating in this mess, CLEAN UP!"

"Who died and made you guild master?" Someone called.

"Your SANITY!" Natsu yelled. "NOW GET TO WORK."

Everybody grumbled, and began cleaning up. "And Lucy, come here." Natsu said. Lucy rolled her eyes and walked over to him.

"What?" She asked.

"Why did you start that fight?" Natsu said lowly, noticing some people were trying to listen.

Lucy shrugged. "I already told you. I'm about to die."

Die.

That word sliced Natsu's heart open. "For the last time, you aren't going to die." He growled.

Lucy shrugged, her golden eyes laced with pain. "Yeah, I will. Everybody knows, Natsu. Noteven the entire guild can defeat me. Nobody can. I'm too strong. All of the haate, sadnedd, and regret piled onto my shoulders, and whenI attacked my spirits, all of that turnd into power. Natsu, except it. You can't stop me."

"Lucy left you. Now get over it."

"You can't stop me."

"Lucy left you. Now get over it."

"You can't stop me."

"Lucy left you. Now get over it."

"You can't stop me."

"Lucy left you. Now get over it."

"You can't stop me."

"Lucy left you. Now get over it."

"You can't stop me."

"Lucy left you. Now get over it."

"You can't stop me."

"Lucy left you. Now get over it."

"You can't stop me."

No.

Lucy looked at him, and he realized he said it out loud.

"What?" She asked. Natsu looked into her eyes, and said "I will do whatever i can to keep you from dying. Even if it means my own life."

Lucy sighed sadly. "And leave me alone?"

Natsu's eyes became shadowed. "No matter what, one of us is going to be alone."

Lucy's golden eyes widened. He admitted it. He knew that she was gonna die.

Others stopped and looked at the two. They noticed that Lucy was glowing brighter, and Natsu's eyes were shadowed.

They sighed, knowing what they were talking about, and how stubborn Natsu was to let go of Lucy.

~~

A few hours later, Natsu was sitting at the bar, head in his left arm, and he had a vodka in his right hand. Mira stared at him, and said, "Natsu....?"

He popped his head up, and took a sipof his vodka. "Yeess?"

Mira looked at him in pity. "I know you don't want Lucy to go, but you don't have to be so hard on yourself."

Natsu's eyes were bloodshot from the drinking, smoking weed, and sobbing. "Of course I do."

Mira sighed. "Natsu-- quit acting like this. Instead of getting drunk and smoking whatever you were smoking with some random people, and crying, take Lucy out. On a date. Before everything..." She trailed off, cleaning a cup.

"To hell?" Natsu hiccuped. "And those people were old friends... from 2 years ago."

"You smoked weed before?!" Mira rose her voice. "Do you know how unhealthy that i-"

"Hush Mom. I know. And yes. *hic* i did. I stopped *hic* after a while." Natsu ignored Mira's glare. "And I don't want to risk takig her out and having her harm someone."

Mira looked over at Lucy who was lounging on a table, somewhat listening to Levy.

"Natsu.. you have to pull yourself together. You can't be like this when it happens."

"And why nooooot? *hic*"

"Because when you wake up with a hangover, surrounded by drugs, and have no Lucy in sight, and realize that you didn't do anything to help her, you will be broken, Natsu. And nobody wants to see that again."

Natsu hiccuped. "Mirajane, I have already been broken many of times. For instance, when Igneel left me, when future lucy died, when Igneel died, when i found out I was a demon, annnnnnd wheeeeen Lucy left me-"

Mirajane splashed Natsu with beer. "I am trying to help you, natsu!"

Natsu looked at his soaked clothes and said, "Just don't."

Mirajane threw down her towel and yelled, "IT'S LIKE TALKING TO A 3 YEAR OLD, NATSU! NOW MAN THE FUCK UP AND QUIT BEING SO PATHETIC!!!!"

She stormed out of the bar, and she disapeared behind the door with the food and drinks.

Natsu was silent. He pulled out a cigarrette, and lit it with his pinkie finger.

He looked around at the guild. "What?"

Then, there was an explosion.
