I stood there in shock. Why me? Everyday?? Does he know?! "Lucy? Are you okay?" Asked Aries concerned for me.

"I'm fine", I calmed down,"when did this change?"

She turned her head showing her ear piece. "I got a call from Aquarius saying that the master requested to have you everyday.." Then she grabbed my arm, "let's take you to Virgo"

"Okay..."

***

We walked to where Virgo was in the kitchen. She was cleaning dishes. "Virgo, Lucy is ready to train..."

"Go about your duties then, Aries"

Aries left and I was left alone with Virgo. She stopped what she was doing. "Do you know how to do basic serving? Like getting food, whatever else the master needs?"

"I'm pretty sure. I just need to know where everything is located.."

"Food and drinks are in kitchen and other things you might need are in the maids room. Anything else?"

"No, but why aren't you training me?"

"Because being a maid is so simple with Mr. Dragneel. He doesn't ask for much. He doesn't punish us for messing up either. You'll do fine. If you need me, call me." she handed me an ear piece for us to communicate. I took it and put it on my ear. Then I got a call, I answered it.

"Luce, my office please."

Luce? Was this Natsu? I left Virgo and headed up the stairs. I walked down the long hallway, going over what I've learned about this place. I still need to find out why he's killing people. What are his reasons??

I got to the big door and knocked. "Come in", I heard Dragneel say from the inside. I grabbed the door nob and went in. He was sitting at his desk, doing paper work when I first saw him.
He looked up and was blushing? Weird. "Um have you heard the schedule?" He asked looking away, stilling blushing. What's with this guy?

"Yes Master, I have" I said playing an act

"Natsu is fine", he replied to me

"Umm okay..", I felt uneasy and unsure of what to say and do.

He looked back at me, then looked down at his papers and continued reading them. "Is there anything you need me to do ma- Natsu?" I said after a minute. He looked up and pointed to the chair in front of him, "sit down, I'd enjoy your company."

I walked over and sat down, I felt as the maid outfit made it 10x more awkward. I looked at him and tried to see what he was writing and reading on the papers. I couldn't see from the distance I was at.

"Luce"

"Uhh yes Natsu?" I said

He looked up and smiled, "don't feel so stressed, why don't you go get me and yourself something to eat"

What's with this guy?!??

"Uhh yes Natsu."

***

When I got food, Natsu just gazed at me. He was staring. Creep. "Lucy"

"Yes, Natsu?" I reply

"Let me take you out for dinner."

"But, I'm your servant. Doesn't that make it weird?"

"I'm not really considering you my servant. You're so level headed and not like any of my other servants. Plus you seem like you have a special talent."

"I know acrobatics, if that counts."

"Ahh see? Here I'll make you a deal."

I don't like where this is going. "Uhh sure" I agreed not sure what was to come.

"Become an assassin and help me find my father."

"Uhh excuse me?"

"I'll train you personality to become an assassin. You will help me find my father. I'll pay you double and give you a place to live" he said with a stern voice.

Oh, only if he knew I'm the best assassin in the world. But is this the chance I can do to get closer to him? To get more info? Here goes nothing.

"Well, I've actually heard rumors that you kill people who disagree with you... What if I say no?" I asked

"Ugh, that isn't true. I don't kill people just to kill them. I kill them because they are people who target me for the rumors or they tried to kill my father."

Wait... What?? I have to tell Makarov. But I still have to finish the mission. But... Why would they target him? There's got to be more to it and not just the rumors...

"I'll do it" I said to Natsu

"Really?"

"Yea. I'll help you"

"Thank you" he smiled and sweet smile

I found myself staring at his handsome face. Trying to look away but I couldn't. Damn it.

"Lucy?" He said and I looked away, "come back at 8 and we can go out to dinner. Then you can stay the night here", he sent me off and I went back to HQ.
