Lucy's POV~

It's now 8 in the morning and I was startled awake from getting kicked out of the bed. "Kyaa! * thump* Itai~ what the heck just happened?" I stood up while rubbing my head since I landed face first on the floor. I looked over to the bed and saw haru and koji's leg's up and everyone asleep in some really weird positions almost like cats....cool right? Anyway, I glared at the stubborn animals on my bed, ' why was I kicked out of MY bed? I was the one in the middle right? One day, i will skin them alive...* sigh* no point on going back to sleep now, may as well get ready for the day.'. I yawned while stretching out my muscles and made a bee-line towards my bathroom. Just as I was about to enter, I felt someone grab my shirt and tail. I jumped a little at the sudden contact and turned around slightly to see the kids behind me looking tired and kinda shy and embarrassed.

" What is it you guys?" I looked at Koji and Haru as they held on to my shirt while sora and shizu held my tail. I looked straight at shizu and she started talking quietly, " Can we take a bath with you?" I was surprised when she said that, I was about to say yes when haru started to talk in an excited voice, " And can you take us on another mission like yesterday?!" I looked at haru and giggled, " Sure I can sweetie! I don't think team natsu will mind at all!" I ruffled his hair while smiling and I was able to spot a small, shy blush spread on his face. I also caught koji glare at haru and he did the same. I chuckled and led them into the bathroom and took a nice fun bubble bath with them.

After a few minutes, we left the bathroom and I helped them with their clothes and hair. Sora wore a blue sun dress that was similar to my white one and flower-like sandels, Shizu wore white pants with a flower design going up the leg and a black tanktop with the fairy tail sign on it and blue and black flats ( virgo brought the clothes over), Koji was wearing red shorts with a white t-shirt and red sneakers, and Haru was wearing grey shorts with a white shirt with pictures of wolves looking at the moon. I wore shorts and a light pink top that slowly changed to a yellow and faded to a brilliant fiery red, and my sneakers which were white. I put my hair in a side pony tail using my favorite heart hair tie. I told them that they can watch tv till breakfast was ready and left to start preparing.

 After a few minutes, I ended up making a lot of scrambled eggs, waffles, sausages, and bacon...yum! Sora and Shizu came in the kitchen, " Lucy-nee? Can we help?" " Yea! Sora, can you set the table for me? shizu, can you wake up the boys? Haru! Koji! Time for breakfast!" They quickly went to do what they were told and sora started to set the table and poured everyone apple juice. Koji and haru came in with shizu and an excited natsu and tired Kazuki. I sweat dropped along with sora and shizu as the boys looked at the food like prey and started to devour everything.

"Oi! You can't just eat all the food like that! Were here too you baka's!" Shizu growled, stomped her foot, then joined in trying to get as much food as possible. Sora and I looked at each other before signing and joined in in order to at least get some food.

( Timeskip: 25 minutes later~) We were walking towards the guild after we cleaned up the mess in the kitchen, " Mo! I can't believe that you all ate everything! I only managed to get half a waffle and a small piece of a sausage for sora! One of you even drunk MY apple juice!" I whined as I walked on the edge near the river holding sora and plue. My ears were flattened on my head as my tail drooped and my stomach growled along with sora's who growled quietly at everyone irritatedly.

Natsu and everyone looked down in guilt, I sighed and looked at them, " * Sigh* Oh well, I'm not mad anymore and we can always eat at the guild. Maybe I'll make a buffet for dinner?" I looked at them slightly and saw no reaction. I was silent for a while before trying again, " I could give you all a month's supply of food?" I was met by silence. I got annoyed and a tick mark appeared on my head, " Grrr! Then How about we go on a mission?" At this, they all looked at me with excited eyes, " I'll also pay for lunch and get you fish happy." " Aye! I love fish!" " Oh Oh We want to come along too!" " Yea!" " Yosh! Lets go to the guild and chose a mission that we will all enjoy!" I sighed, ' I can't believe they reacted to that!'.

( Timeskip: 10 minutes later~)

We arrived at the guild and like always, natsu starts to pick a fight with gray and the usual brawl begins. Shizu and koji walks over to asuka and wendy who was talking to romeo. Haru decided to come with sora and I to the bar where mira is, " Hi Lucy! Sora, Haru, what can I get you today?" I set sora on my lap and haru sits in the seat next to me, " Can me and sora get some pancakes and eggs along with some orange juice?" " Ok, is there anything you want to eat haru?" " No im good, I already ate." " Alright, I'll be right back!" Mira gave us a smile before disappearing through the kitchen. Levy came over with koji and I started to talk to her about books and other stuff while koji and haru chatted about something. After 3 minutes, Mira came back and gave us our stuff, " Here you go lucy, i added some bacon just because, who doesn't like bacon for breakfast? Well enjoy the food lucy, sora!" " Thanks mira! yummy~" I started to eat with sora and mira's food tasted just like heaven because it was so soft. ( A/n: is that to much?) I always enjoyed mira's food.. It's the best!

Once we finished, I set sora down who ran over to asuka and started to play, I laughed at her eagerness before talking with levy somemore. I was in the middle of telling her about what happened this morning when I felt a warm arm wrap around my shoulder, I jumped and sighed realizing that It was just natsu, I saw levy giggle and I threw a playful glare, " What Is it natsu? Did you find a mission for us to do?" I tried to turn around but he kept me in place and leaned over my shoulder with a grin while holding out a paper towards me, " yea! This is it!" I took the paper and looked at him confusingly before looked back at the paper. The paper said, ' We need some mages to come help guard our family treasure! The treasure is called full moon, It's a special gem that was passed down in our family for generations! A group of treasure hunters found out about it and Is trying to steal it! They consist of 10 people, they ae very strong, Please...Help us!   Reward: 2,000,000,000 jewels.  Requestor: Mr. kayushi    Location:Oshibana Town.' I was shocked as I reread the request, ".......S...s-s.....so much! Where definiatly doing this one!! Ohhhhhh I can't Wait!!!!" I hugged the paper and I had stars in my eyes as I thought about how much I could buy things, plus, I wouldn't have to pay rent for 5 months!!  

I jumped up and turned towards natsu who was smiling, " I'm going to give this to mira, You hurry and gather everyone! Move it!" He saluted and ran to gather everyone while I walked over to mira and showed her the mission, She took it and stamped the paper before giving it back, " Be careful lucy, I heard that these guys were strong, I heard they destroyed a few towns." I grinned at her, " No worries mira! Besides, We got natsu! He'll make sure that he burns them to a crisp!" I saw a mischevious glint in her eye as she smiled widely, I gulped and walked away nervously as I heard her shout a 'good luck'. I cursing myself for saying that, ' baka lucy! Now look at what you've done! mira's going to ideas!' I groaned in annoyance and walked over to natsu who was waiting by the door with kasuki, haru, shizu, koji and sora, along with happy and team natsu.

We walked towards the train station with everyone because I didn't want to change into a wolf anytime soon. Once we arrived, Gray bought our tickets and boarded the train. I watched everyone board the train and turned around to see erza behind me looking at a green natsu, I sighed and lifted him up as I dragged him on the train. I plopped him in the seat and sat down next to him. He was slouched over and kept making weird sick-like noises as erza came in the train and sat down in a different car with team natsu. The train whistle blew once to warn everyone that we were leaving and the doors closed, It then took off and we started to do whatever for the next 2 hours.

About 25 minutes past already and I was extremely annoyed with natsu's noises. The train made a sharp turn, which caused natsu to fall on my lap. I shrieked in surprise when I felt something wet run down my leg, " Ew! Natsu! Stop drooling on me you baka!" " * groan* G-gomen l-lushii~ * umph*" He held his mouth and shook, I knew what was about to happen and quickly took out a paper bag and held it to his mouth, he quickly grabbed it and let out everything in his stomach from earlier, " See? This is why you shouldn't eat so much natsu." I scolded him as I took the bag and chucked it out of the window.

I sighed and decided to put him to sleep like always since I didn't want him to throw up on me, so I put my tail on his chest and I then gently ran my fingers in his hair, he immediatly calmed down and relaxed as he hugged my stomach before taking a deep breath and falling to sleep. I smiled at his sleeping face and looked up to see kasuki, haru, and koji growling at natsu. See now I understand that koji is growling at him because i'm his sister and haru because I'm more like his mom and he feels the need that I'm only suppose to baby him and shizu, but kasuki, I'm not to sure. I can literally see the menecing aura surrounding him as he stares directly at natsu, It's almost like...he's...jealous?

' Nah, That's not possible, Kasuki only see's me as a big sister and best friend from childhood...right?' I blushed at the possibility of kasuki having a crush on me but I thought of natsu and shook my head. ' No maybe he's llike natsu? He probably wants to protect me from danger like natsu does everyday, Or maybe he's angry that i'm not paying attention to him? Natsu would be upset if I didn't give him my attention.....Wait, I'm I really comparing kasuki to natsu? Sure kasuki is my best friend but so is natsu! He's my partner for crying out loud!' I felt hurt when I said partner, Yes I know that I like- no not like, i really really really love natsu but i don't think he feels the same way about me at all...He might like lisanna more than me. I became depressed at the thought of him dating lisanna but no matter how many times I forced the thought away, I always came back like a spell. Before I could give up on the thought of him ever liking me, I felt natsu's grip around my stomach tighten. I looked at him and he was smiling and had a small blush on his cheeks, I heard him mumbling something and was able to catch a few words, " l....lucy.....lo....Marry........live together...........babies.......mate..." My face blew up and I was blushing like crazy, I think my face was the same color as erza's hair if not any darker. 'OMG OMG OMG OMG! What did he mean by that?! Why did he say my name?! What is he dreaming about and why is he making so many cute faces in his sleep?! Hold up....Rewind, did i just say cute? Really?' my blushed face darkened as I looked out the window. ' Is it possible?......That...he....he...like's me?'.

I stared out of the window with a red face and stream coming out of my ears as I tried to figure out what he meant by those words. About 2 hours have passed with me still thinking of the possiblities of what he meant and we finally arrived in Oshibana Town. I was a little dazed and in deep thought so I didn't feel the train stop or wendy talking to me until she poked me. " Lucy-san? Are you okay? Your face is red. You also seemed dazed, did something good happen?" I jumped and snapped out of my thoughts as I looked at wendy, " N-n-no n-nothing happened! I-I-i'm okay wendy! I-I was just thinking about something, hahahaha." I blushed and laughed nervously as I quickly changed my attention to natsu and tried to wake him up. At first I shook his shoulders gently but got no response, Then i began to smack his face but he still didn't flinch, I then pushed him off of me and he hit the ground with a thud. I turned him over so he was on his back but alas, he didnt budge nor did he show any signs of waking up, so I was forced to drag him out of the train by myself since everyone was already off. I dropped him on the ground after I exited the train and to our surprise he woke up kissing the ground.... literally if I might add.

We arrived at Mr. kayushi's house after 30 minutes of wondering around and distractions. Erza knocked on the door and a man who was about 30 with navy blue hair opened the door, he looked tired, " Are you fairy tail?" erza nodded and showed him her mark " Yes, we came here to do the request, please tell us about these treasure hunters and the gem we are suppose to protect." The man nodded and let us in. The inside of his house was very friendly and warm but it seems like it was missing something, like...love and excitment. We entered the living room and looked around, the house was small and there wasn't that many things here, he had a few black couches and a glass coffee table. The floors were made out of fine wood an It was very smooth to the touch, The wall were white and there was a window that had a rose growing on the window seal.

 There was a picture of a family on a wall near the door and next to where the man (which was near the living room entrance) was standing was a very very beautiful blue purpleish gem that had hints of other colors which made it look like a a tiny galaxy was inside of it, " Whoa! Pretty!" Sora, shizu and wendy said in unison. I was mesmerized by it's beauty and so was erza and happy. Koji had stars in his eyes and haru was shocked like gray, kasuki and natsu stared at the gem before looking at me, but of course I didn't care because it was so mesmerized by it's beauty.

" This gem is what I was talking about, The reason why they want this is because this gem hold incredible power. My great grandfather told me to never touch it because the power is too strong and can a normal person. If anyone touched it,  most likely a mage, It would most likely make them go mad with power. My great grandfather told me that one person will be able to endure it's magic power and use it at will." I looked at him him, " What type of person?" " I don't know, but someone who has a very pure soul and follows the path of light, if I had to say, maybe a celestial wizard but I don't know any...I heard that there are only one in the world who possess almost all of the zodiac keys. I don't know what guild she's from but she's really strong and cares alot about her friends and enemies, or so I heard. If I ever get the chance to meet her, I would want her to take this with her." I looked at him confusingly, " Why would you give it to her?" " well since she's in a guild, I figured that she can use this to help her friends. But here's the thing, not only can a celestial use, A type of mage can use it, a wolf slayer can absorb this and will be able to use stronger magic, plus her appearance will change and will be able to use a new power, I think it has something to do with the stars and a type of dragon slayer magic." I was amazed and blushed to myself and I felt my keys move quietly. I smiled as I heard them cheering. I looked back at the gem and gazed at it cheerfully.

Haru's POV~

I never knew a gem like this exsisted, It's so pretty, It reminds me of lucy alot. I know what you all might think, that i'm in love with lucy and all but no. I see her as my mother from the bottom of my heart. I looked at sora and lucy and smiled. I look up to lucy alot and I really want sora to depend on other more often, I want to be there for sora as much as possible when lucy or koji isn't around. I looked around the place and saw a picture of a family, Mr. kayushi was standing next to a fairly pretty woman with short brown hair, in front of the two was a girl around my age, she had medium purple hair and her eyes were blue. She was wearing a bright smile on her face and was holding a cute puppy. Next to her was another girl with long black hair and a bang that covered her left eye, she looked about the same age as lucy. I felt shizu and koji coming over to where I was and looked at the picture.

" Who's that?" I looked at koji and shizu and shrugged as my gaze went back to the purple haired girl, " I don't know, they look like his family." " Yea, but is it just me or do those two look familiar?" i looked at them carefully and gasped, " Yea they do. Didn't we see them when we were walking to the woods a few years back? I think they were standing in front of a guild of some kind, I think the name was s-s.."  "You mean sabertooth?! Aren't they currently the strongest number one guild in fiore?"  " hmm, Yea... but, aren't we like....the weakest guild?" I looked at shizu, " hey don't say that! If I remember, during that seven year skip or whatever, they went missing. If they didn't disappear, we would be number one and all." " I guess your right haru....but why would they go to sabertooth?" " I think I remember them saying something about meeting someone in fairy tail, but after realizing that they disappeared, they said something about joining a guild so they could meet them one day." I sweat dropped, " I still can't believe that you have a good memory....Are you half elephant or something?" " No baka!" Koji punched me in my arm, " Ouch!" " Hey don't hit haru koji-san!" I saw him blush when shizu growled at him, " S-sorry shizu..." " Don't apoligize to me! You should apoligize to him! * points at me*" "Hmph, geez sorry for punching you man." " *sigh* it's okay koji." I sighed and looked back at the picture, ' I wonder.....If I can meet her one day...'

Kasuki's POV~

I stared at the gem in awe as I watched it shimmer in the sunlight. I looked at lucy and stared at her as I watched her expression change from shock to excitment and awe. I loved lucy ever since we were kids, we even promised to date each other when we get older and when we saw each other again. I started to think about what it would be like to be lucy's boyfriend and I almost drooled. I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts and tried to imagine to date someone else besides the very person who stayed by my side and helped me watch the kids when our parents went hunting. She's also the same girl who saved us countless of times. ' Oh lucy, I hope that we can stay together with everyone forever.' I continued to stare at her and smiled to myself as she and sora looked at the wonderful gem tham reminded everyone of stars. I heard  koji, haru and shizu talking about a picture and turned around. I walked over to lucy and taped her shoulder and pointed at the picture frame that held a picture of a family.

Natsu's POV~

Once I saw the gem, my mind went blank, It was really pretty and made me think of lucy... luce, she was like a light in the dark night. I wish someday I could actually confess to her, but I need to get rid of a pest that's ruining my chances. I glared at kasuki who stared at lucy with a small blush. I growled in my head, ' I need to show this bastard that I'm the only one for luce. Cause he sure as hell ain't laying a hand on my mate.........wait.....MATE?!' I felt the blood in my body go straight to my cheeks and I felt hotter than usual, my heart is pounding quickly, is something wrong with me? Were only partners! I winked at the thought and felt a pang of hurt hit my chest..hard. I looked down and tried to figure out what happened, ' why do i suddenly feel so sad at the thought of being partners? I mean I know that I like- no Love luce, but to know that she doesn't like me that way hurts my heart. I can't stand to see luce with anyone else except me.' I looked at lucy and saw the sparkle in her eyes as she looked at the gem.

I smiled and looked at the gem one last time before hearing koji, haru and shuzu? or was it shitzu? Oh yea! It was shizu! Anyway I heard them talking about a picture and turned around as I saw them looking a picture frame with a picture inside of it. I walked over and studied the picture carefully. " Hey mister!"  The dude stopped talking and looked in my direction, I used my thumb and pointed at the picture, " Who are they?" the man looked at the picture before looking down and smiling sadly. " That's my wife and my two precious angels. My wife died a few years back and my girls left the house to go join a guild. They're wizards like you all.My oldest daughter is Miki, she's an equip mage like erza, my youngest is Ryoko, she's a nature mage, she can control the earth and plants. before they left, they told me that they wanted to join your guild but after figuring out about your disappearance, they joined sabertooth." " S-SABERTOOTH?!" " So your saying, that those two went to sabertooth? The currently strongest guild in fiore?" I looked at lucy who said this and frowned as she stared at the man in disbelief.

I looked at the man who nodded and I heard wendy gasp. I can't believe this. I looked down disappointedly and a sudden scent caught my attention, I narrowed my eyes and stared outside, I don't like this, I don't like this not one bit. We were quiet for a bit when erza broke the silence with a cough," ahem, Well Mr. kayushi, when do the hunters come?" " R-right, they're coming tomorrow night i think....they come randomly and that throws off their pattern of striking so it may be best if you- * CRASH*" There was a loud crash coming from the window and I saw a very few small round objects on the floor, I sniffed the air and my eyes widened in shock and horror, " EVERYBODY GET DOWN NOW!!" I grabbed the three who where next to me and covered them with my body then looked towards everyone else, I saw erza push kasuki to the ground, gray had sora and mr.kayushi on the floor. I looked over to lucy and my eyes widened, Lucy ran over to the case and used her fists to smash it open, I watched as she stared at it and slowly picked it up, " LUCY!! HURRY AND GET-" KABOOM!!!!!!!

The house exploded and I heard lots of screams. I grunted as large pieces hit my back and almost buried us alive. After a while, I forced all the giant derbris off of me and everyone else was doing the same. I looked around and saw everyone pushing large chucks of the house off of them. I realized that kasuki used his tail as a shield and protected erza and gray made an ice shield to protect them. I heard the kids crying and looked down under me to see if they were okay. To my relief, they were but they got scared. I stood up and picked them up, they clung on to me and cried while shaking. Kasuki and erza ran over to gray and Mr. kayushi to see if he was alright. I  ran over and picked up sora, they all changed to wolf cubs and I placed them in my scarf.

" Oi! Is everyone okay?!" I heard a few yes's and okay's and sighed. I realized that I didn't hear lucy's voice and got worried, " Hey! Where' s luce!?" I ran over to the case and saw it empty, I heard a loud howl and a scream of pain, I looked out the giant hole that led to outside and ran out. Everyone heard the same thing and ran out of the now destroyed house. I didn't see anyone but I caught lucy's scent along with those damn bandits, " Damn it!" I followed her scent and it led me to the forest. " Luce!....Lucy!!" I ran while calling her name and I heard a loud crash ahead. Everyone including the requestor was behind me and what we saw made us all stop and gasp.

Lucy was standing in the middle of the bandits and was holding the gem, I saw a bit of it missing and i saw her mouth moving, Like she was eating some-, my eyes widened in realization, " No way." Mr. kayushi walked over to me, " What's wrong?" " W-what happens if you eat the gem?" I heard the mans breath hitch and i sensed him tense up, " What...what do you mean?" I growled. I quickly grabbed him by the collar and pinned him up to a tree, " I asked you a question. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU EAT THE DAMN GEM?!"  I lit my fist up and held it at his face, " Answer the damn question You fuckin geezer!" " Natsu stop that!" Gray and erza pulled me off the man. Kasuki walked towards him and helped him up. I growled and was about to shove them off when I stopped because kasuki punched the man dead in his face. "You bastard," He growled, " If anything happens to my friend I'll personally kill you right here." Kasuki bared his fangs at him and glared the glare mira and erza uses. He shivered and nodded before standing up, " Alright i'll tell you! All my great granddad told me was that if anyone ate it, their magic will go out of control and they'll go insane, they won't gain back sanity!"

We all stared in horror, " Your saying.... I'm/were going to lose luce/lucy?!" We stared at each other before running over to lucy who stood there taking hits. She already had bruises and cuts everywhere. I tackled two of the mages and knocked them out quickly. I was about to attack somemore when I felt someone blast me from behind. I yelped and turned around to see the mages I knocked out from earlier. I remembered the pups in my scarf and quickly put them on the floor, " Hurry and go hide!" I was thrown back and hit a tree. I groaned in pain and flinched, " You bastard!" I got up and punched the snot out of one of the bandit. Erza and gray were working together and was fight off two, kasuki ran over to the pups and blocked an attack but it caused him to fly away from them and ram into gray. I kept fighting but heard a few loud whimpers and cries. I dodged an attack and saw haru in his form taking hits for shizu. Wendy was trying to protect the kids while Sora who was crying was next to koji. Koji changed to his form and blocked a hit for sora.

Nobodies POV~

Natsu was still fighting along with gray and erza along with kasuki. Lucy didn't move but it was like she was frozen and her bangs were covering her eyes. Koji and haru were defending shizu and little sora from two of the bandits, and Mr. kayushi was hiding in the trees.

Haru and shizu started to use their magic to take out one of the bandits that attacked. It wasn't easy but they were able to send him flying to erza who knocked him out quickly. Koji, wendy, haru and shizu tried to beat the second dude but he was stronger than the other one. The older bandit used his magic and pushed them back to the ground, He looked at sora and smirked sinisterly. Sora was forced to change back and the bandit grabbed her from the back of her shirt and held a knife to her neck, " HAHAHAHAHA!!! If you don't want this little wolf to get killed, I say that you all must surrender! If you don't i'll kill them all and make fur coats out of them!". Once the evil mage said this, everyone stopped and glared at him. The mage that was holding sora grinned and slammed her to the ground next to the other kids. He moved towards them and kicked them repeatedly. Kasuki growled, " Leave Them Alone!!!" The other bandits used their magic and forced them to the ground, " N-NANI?!" " Gravitational magic?" "Kekeke Indeed scarlet, do anything else and we'll kill the blond over there, but I think she's already gone, since she hasen't moved since the very beginning, once were done with you losers, were going to have our way with her, Hahahaha!!!"

" Don't fucking touch lucy with you filthy hands!" they all laughed and went over to the kids, " Now fairies! Watch as we break each and everyone of their useless bones!" They started to throw magic at the kids. Team natsu started to move and tried to get up, but the move they move, the more pressure was added. Kasuki started to cry when he saw haru pass out, " Leave Them Alone!! They're Only Kids!!" One of the bandits looked at him and flicked his wrists. Kasuki suddenly felt light and was about to ran at them when the last thing he saw a beam of black. Gary flinched, " Kasuki!! You bastards Let us go so I can Kick your asses!!" Natsu shouted in rage and lit his entire being on fire.

The bandits laughed and did one last kick and the kids were crying and groaning in pain. The leader of the bandits picked up sora by the shirt and threw her up in the air, We looked in horror as they started to charge their magic, "SORA!!". ( A/N: I know...I must be terrible for this, but I seriously couldn't think of anything better! I promise to do better next chapter so please bare with me! I suffered writers block for too long! T^T) The next thing that happened was a blur. All we saw was a bright golden light and the sound of a male's scream of pain. When the light disappeared, we saw Lucy standing their with strange markings on her face, her hair was shorted and had streaks of red and black. Her clothes had changed to a type of wrapping ( um, like erza's outfit top when she fought jellel but red.) She had black shorts with chains and brown combat boots. When she looked up, We stared in awe. Her eyes were now blood red and dragon-like.The gem from before was now implanted on her hand( oppisite of her hand with the giuld mark) and it made a gem like design going up her arm. In her other was a piece of the gem and she crushed it. Once she did, It burst and magic particles flowed into her body. She started to glow black and we heard a low dangerous growl come from her and she jumped up. She caught sora and landed behind the injured children.

She scooped them up gently and turned towards us, She walked over to us and slammed her tail on the ground. all of a sudden, the spell that was holding team natsu broke and they stood up shakily. Once they stood up, she handed them the kids and her hands started to glow white. They all glowed the same color and after 10 seconds, they were back to normal. She turned to the bandits and smirked a smile so evil and dangerous, It made the great titania shiver in fear, Her smile was like encountering zeref and a dragon. She took a step before disappearing to thin air. Team natsu stared in shock when they suddenly saw four of the bandits on the ground wounded terribily. She stared at us before grinning, "Well? Are you going to help fight? Or are you all chicken?" Team natsu looked at each other before grinning at each other. They quickly but carefully put the kids next to kasuki who was leaning on a tree and ran towards the remaining bandits.

( 55 minutes later~)

They finished beating the bandits but ended up destroying half of the forest. Anyway, They helped Mr. Kayushi rebuild his house and got their rewards, they also got tickets for 10 to go to a hot springs in return as thanks for rebuilding his house and fixing everything. Kasuki woke up about 25 minutes after they beat the shit out the bandits and carried haru and shizu who was healed up, courtsey to lucy, who also healed and holding sora and koji. They were tired and It was now dark as they got on the train. Lucy was back to normal but she still had the marking that was on her arm and now she had weird magic aura. Her hair still had the streaks but it was back to normal length and her clothes changed back to normal. Wendy fell asleep on erza who leaned on the window, Gray and kasuki fell asleep sitting up and natsu was staring at his mate affectionatly and running his fingers into her silky blond hair. Right now, She was able to heal natsu's motion sickness and fell asleep on his lap while holding sora, koji, haru and shizu, who woke up and went over to their 'mother' to sleep. Lucy held them protectively in her sleep and her arm glowed just like the gem. Speaking of gems, the gem they supposedly had to protect impanted itself on lucy's hand, opposite from the hand that held her guild mark.

Once the train ride was over, They woke up and headed home for the day, well most of team natsu did anyway, natsu and kasuki had to carry lucy( Natsu) and the kids ( kasuki) home since they were sleeping like the dead. As soon as they entered lucy's apartment, she woke up and went to the bathroom. Like always, natsu and happy ( who hid with mr.kayushi during the mission) raided her fridge for food. When lucy came out, It really surprised natsu and happy that she only went in there for a glass of water and went straight to bed without a care in the world. "Ne natsu? What's wrong with lushii?" Natsu looked over too happy quietly, " I don't know, it's probably because she ate a piece of the gem...she might go back to normal tomorrow." "....aye.".

They sighed and went to bed, all thinking that they may as well rest up so they can go to the hot springs tomorrow......hot springs? Natsu's eyes shot open and he sat up quickly, 'The Hot springs?! I forgot about that! This Is my chance to be with her and Confess!'. Kasuki had the same Idea because natsu heard a low quiet growl. Natsu glared at him before laying down and pulling lucy towards him possessivly, Kasuki went and did the same which led to them pulling her back and forth and causing lucy along with the children to kick them out of bed, " Cut That Out!!!" They all shouted before going to sleep again. Natsu and kasuki groaned in pain and stayed their because they were to tired to do anything and fell asleep on the floor.

Lucy cuddled with the kids and smiled in her sleep. 'Tomorrow we go to the hot springs....maybe...something good will happen tomorrow.'
