-Lucy's POV-

"Don't worry Lucy. He won't be bothering you anymore. As long as your big cous is here." He protectively told me with a smile.

"Yeah your right" I responded to his genuine smile that he only shows me. As far as I know. Should I tell him that I'm leaving? Nah if I tell him, he'll try to convince me to stop.

"Kay well I'll be heading out now."

"Are you sure? you can stay here if you want."

"No it's ok. Thanks for everything Gray" I then pulled Gray in for a hug. After the warm... what am I saying it was cold. You know him being an ice Mage and all. Well after the hug, I left.

-Arriving at Natsu's house-

Should I really still come here. Even after what happened. Well I'm not going to hide.

I entered the house and saw no one. Well that's good. Spoke to soon. The lights turned on and I saw a shirtless Natsu staring right at me.

"Hey Luce. I thought you weren't coming."

"Well I am staying here after all."

"Oh yeah. Well let's go to sleep"

I headed towards the stairs and went on into his bathroom. I changed into my pjs and brushed my teeth. When I got out Natsu was already on his bed. No way was going to sleep with him on the same bed. Nope. I went and got comfortable on the couch in the living room.

Tomorrow I'll be leaving my nakama but there really isn't any better idea on the table. I then drifted to dreamland.

I woke up really comfortable. I looked around and noticed I wasn't in the living room anymore but in Natsu's room. Surprisingly though, I was alone.

Since there was no Natsu, I started packing the few stuff I had in Natsu's room and left his room. When I got downstairs I saw Natsu in the kitchen?! what was he doing there?

He turned to look at me and smiled. "Hey Luce I made you breakfast."

"Really? Without burning down the whole kitchen?"

"Yeah. Come sit. Lets eat together" he said and gave me one of his famous grins.

I couldn't say no. I sat down and looked at the food. I was surprised, it looked normal. I tried and it also tasted normal. Hmm did he really make it?

"Hey Luce. About yesterday..''

Ugh really he had to bring it up?

"Yeah what about it?"

"Well I didn't agree to anything that Lissana was doing, and I told her I loved you and not her."

"I'm sorry Natsu but it's too late for that. You should just stay with her. Cuz honestly I don't want you to see me as anything but the 'weak' Lucy I am according to you. Bye Natsu. "

I then got up and was about to leave when Natsu got a hold of my wrist and turned me around to face him.

"Lucy please don't say that. Please just don't. "

One moment I was looking at Natsu and the next we're kissing. Yeah that's right kissing. I wanted to pull away but I just couldn't. This would be the last time I saw him in a long time.

He then pulled away blushing a deep red that would put Erza's hair to shame. I finally got my feet to move. I turned around and left towards the entrance of the east forest.

Wendy and Gageel were already there waiting for me.

"Hey guys. Are you sure you want to go on with this?" I asked very concerned. I really didn't want to mix them up with my troubles.

"Yeah don't worry Lucy-San. We are ready for anything and I want you to know that everything you do we will follow"

"Yeah lulu. Lets get going before anyone tracks us down."

"Oh yeah I can fix that. I open thee gate of Leo. Loki!" I shouted and with that Loki appeared in front of me.

"Yes himme?" Loki asked me.

"Umm remember that potion you gave me so no one would be able to track me?"

"Yes"

"Can I get some for the three of us?"

"Anything for you princess."

He poofed out and then back. He was then holding three little bottles with a light blue liquid. "Will that be all?"

"Yes Loki. You can go back." With the permission he left.

"Kay guys. Squirt this all over you." We each held the bottle and squirted it all over ourselves. "Okay let's head out."
