Chapter 13~ Natsu's Revenge.

Within a few days Lucy had been up and walking, her wounds still hurt and she will forever have that one scar; the scar that reminded her of the day she protected the one person she loves the most. Despite the reminder, she felt conscious of it and always made sure no one could see it.

Within two days after Lucy woke up, she was rudely kicked out by Pollyuisca because of all the visitors that visited her. Levi and Natsu walked Lucy home. Levi gave the unfamiliar book to Lucy. “Hey Lu-chan did you buy this?” Lucy looked at the book and looked confused. “No. Where did you get it?” Before Levi could reply Natsu who had been walking infront of them stopped. “It was me and Happy Luce, I noticed you eying it off in the store that one time, I got it the day you left for that solo mission, you were upset and I wanted to cheer you up.” Natsu admitted and then quickly walked a little ahead to hide his pink face. Lucy and Levi were shocked, Levi then nudged Lucy’s arm with a smirk on her face. “Shut it Levi.” Lucy simply said with a scarlet red face. Happy flew on the other side of Lucy and at the same time Levi and Happy said “He likesssss you!” Lucy sighed and face palmed, hiding her flushed face.

When Lucy entered her home with Levi and Natsu, she found a towel on the floor and her bed un-made. She walked into the bathroom and Natsu left clothes lying on the floor. Lucy knew he had broken in again and he even left a mess. “Natsu!” Lucy called. Natsu sweat dropped and gulped, he was in trouble and he knew exactly why. Lucy was unable to stay mad at Natsu for something like this, so he escaped with a bump on his head and he was to clean his mess. To Lucy’s surprise he actually listened to her. Levi had found this very amusing, she sat on a chair giggling with Happy.

Natsu was hiding it, hiding his uncontrollable desire to kick the crap out of Argon. Lucy was awake and fine, now the thoughts stirred in his mind. It was like he has an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other. Of course he listened to the devil on most occasions when it didn’t concern his friends. The angel said, ‘stay with Lucy, no need for revenge she’s fine.’ The devil said ‘kick the crap out of him, he hurt your girl. Lucy will be fine with her friends. Now. Go. kill.’ Argon is around and Natsu knows it, why else had he been on constant watch by Erza and Gajeel? But Natsu could not track the scent because the guild has cloaked his scent. Gajeel, Makarov, Jellal and Makarov were all in on it too.

“Natsu, something wrong?” Lucy asked putting her hand on his hand on his arm. Natsu flinched from her touch because he didn’t expect it. Natsu turned around and tried his best smile. “I’m fine Lucy.” He said unconvincingly. “R-right.” Lucy replied not convinced. “Hey Lu-chan, I have to go. Gajeel told me to meet to meet up with him soon.” Lucy and Happy smirked. “He likessssss you!” They said. “Ahhh Lu-chan that isn’t fair.” Levi said pointing at Lucy. “Payback.” Lucy replied while laughing. Levi flushed and made her way out of her apartment.

“Luce I’m going to get going too. Happy stay, will you? I’ll be back real soon.” Natsu said. “Sure, where are you going?” Happy asked. “Nowhere important, I just need to go see someone.” Natsu said facing Lucy’s window. “This is sudden considering you’ve barely left my side since I woke up.” Lucy said. “Yeah sorry Lucy, you’ll be okay?” He asked, turning his head slightly to look at Lucy. “I’ll be fine don’t worry, I’ll go for a bath then I’m taking a nap.” Lucy said with a smile. “Good, make sure she rests and protect her Happy if need be.” Natsu said stepping out of her window. Lucy leaned on the window seel and watched him walk away in the direction of the guild. “Something’s wrong isn’t there Happy?” Happy flew over to Lucy and perched on her shoulder. “Aye” he said sadly.

Lucy awoke several hours later, she thought Natsu would be back soon and wake her before she slept too long. Beside her Happy snored quietly. Lucy sat up very slowly, and then made her way to the bathroom to splash her face with water. He isn’t back yet, why isn’t he back? He said he’d be back soon and I don’t like this. Lucy thought as she reapplied her makeup. “Lucy!” Lucy heard her name being called. Then voice belonged to Lisanna. “Lucy.” Lisanna had come in through her window, her arms transformed into wings. “Lucy, quick it’s Natsu.” She said. “What wrong Lisanna?” Happy then woke up. “Hm what’s up?” He asked. “Natsu found him, he found Argon and right now he’s fighting him. No one can stop him, it’s like he’s so mad he can’t control himself. Natsu will kill him if he doesn’t get stopped. If he does, he will forever live with it and regret it I know he will. Not to mention he’ll be sent to the Magic Council and then be arrested. Please he’s scaring us.” Lucy gasped and rushed to the window. “Happy?!” Happy flew over. “Aye sir!” Lucy jumped out and Happy caught her. “Eh heavy.” Happy mumbled. “I am not, go Happy fast as you can!” Happy did as he was told. Lisanna flew behind him.

Natsu has Argon backed into an alley way near the guild. Natsu found him several yards south from the guild. No one had found them since Natsu took off with Argon to fight him without any interruptions. The only person that could find him was Gajeel but he hadn’t come back since he left with Levi. Natsu bet though that Wendy was showing them the way though, he had to do this quickly. “Tch Natsu Dragneel, you think you can defeat me? You couldn’t even prevent your girlfriend getting stabbed. You could have taken the pain, but no you let her do it. What a coward.” Argon said feeling confident.  “Bastard shut up!” Natsu said through clenched teeth. The man smiled and that pissed Natsu off a whole lot more, Natsu then started to throw punches.

Happy, Lisanna and Lucy flew over buildings. They managed to find him because of the huge flame sprouting from an ally way. Lucy could not see Argon, she could only see the back of Natsu, he has flames emitting from every part of his body, his muscles more toned and veins were popping out. He looked like he just swallowed Ethion or Luxus’s lightning but with only fire and in several places his skin formed like scales. “Natsu!” The voice of Lucy calmed him a little. His flames died down and he looked at Lucy. His eyes were slit but once he saw Lucy scared of what he was doing his eyes softened. “Lucy?” He asked. “Natsu you have to stop, you don’t want to kill him. You don’t want to live with that Natsu, I’m alive so everything’s okay now. The guild already has punished him, he’s a greedy and all round trash, but he is not a killer. Neither are you and if you do you’ll be sent away, and I will never see you again. So stop please!” Lucy walked closer to Natsu, Lisanna and Happy stayed further down. The closer she got the calmer he got. Behind Natsu Lucy could now see that he had already brutally bashed Argon. He laid bloody and most likely had a few broken bones. He looked mangled. Natsu sunk to his knees. If anything, he hoped Lucy would not hate him for this. His flames died down completely, Lucy sat on her knees infront of him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled Natsu’s head under her chin. She petted his hair. “Enough now, no more fighting. Everything’s fine.” Lucy said softly. She then let go and pressed her lips against his. Slowly his muscles relaxed, his breathing steadied and his skin became normal again.

The other members had reached Lisanna and they watched from afar. Lucy pulled Natsu up with her and he willingly stood with her. Lucy held his hand and pulled the exhausted Dragon Slayer away from the mess he made to their family watching them with concern.
