I just remembered a chapter doesn't have to be long to be a good chapter!

Disclaimers: Sadly I don't own Fairy Tail. The awesome Hiro Mashima does! STANDARD DISCLAIMERS APPLIED!

For he who protects his treasure…

"Natsuuu~" A blonde girl whined.

"Hmmm…" Said person hummed and glanced down at the girl in his arms, chuckling at her flushed face.

"Put me down." Lucy said, pouting up at him.

"For the last time NO."

"But!-"

"Do you want us to fight again?"

"No…." Lucy mumbled in defeat and kept quiet. Natsu smiled in triumph and continued walking towards the Mayor's mansion.

Earlier when the train stopped at Clover town he didn't have the heart to wake Lucy up, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. Not that he minded of course, he loved having her in his arms. Now here they are, once again seen with Natsu carrying Lucy.

One of these days she's going to ask me to carry her.

Mayor's mansion

"Ahh…You two must be the mages that accepted my request, yes?" A tall blonde male with deep emerald eyes greeted Natsu and Lucy when they entered through his office door.

"Yes we are. I'm Lucy and this is Natsu." Lucy answered politely, her hand gesturing to her partner, who grinned at the Mayor.

"Yes the lovely Lucy of Fairy Tail." The mayor said shaking hands with the female, Lucy smiled at him in politeness.

"It's very nice to finally meet the ex-heiress of the Heartfilia's." The Mayor added, kissing the back of Lucy's hand to which the mayor hasn't let gone off. Natsu narrowed his eyes at the blonde haired male, while Lucy's smile twitched.

"I'm flattered of you knowing what my title was." Lucy answered, her tone turning sharp like the times when she was talking to her late father. The mayor smirked at her, to which Natsu quickly stepped in front of Lucy and glared at him.

"Why wouldn't I? I was one of your suitors, Lucy." His eyes stared back at the glaring pink haired male, who was shielding the girl he was talking to.

"Oh? Then I ask who might you be?" Lucy asked, stepping beside Natsu who held her hand, ready to shield her once more if he ever tried to touch her.

"Kato. Kato Blackwoods. Nice meeting you Lucy, it's a shame you aren't my woman. If you were, you wouldn't be working; in fact you wouldn't be leaving this house…or my room for that matter." He said, winking at the now glaring blonde female. Natsu growled at the male, only to be stopped when Lucy squeezed his hand.

"Well past is past. Can we now know about the mission?" Lucy asked irritated at him for bringing her past life, or the fact that she was talking to another pervert. Kato sighed, turned back to his desk and rummaged through files.

"Here it is." He announced holding a folder out to her. She accepted it, but was pulled by Kato by her wrist. Quickly he kissed her cheek.

"Don't hesitate to come here alone, sweet cheeks." He said. Only to be punched by a furious looking Natsu. Quickly Lucy pulled Natsu out of the room, never once looking back at Kato. Natsu however was glaring at the smug looking Kato.

"Don't touch what's mine bastard." Natsu hissed at him before the door closed.

"Yours? I don't think so Pinky."

ஐƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒஐ

"So we're going to hunt for this group of bandits, who stole a bottle that Kato had." Lucy said, looking at the file she was given. Inside contained the copy of the mission, a few pictures of the bandits and the picture of what the potion looked like. She heard growling beside her and when she turned Natsu was still looking mad.

"What?" She asked putting the folder down.

"I don't like you saying his name like that." Natsu said through clenched teeth. Lucy quirked an eyebrow at his answer.

"It's annoying to keep saying mayor and mayor." She said, her hand patting his head.

"Still… I don't like that guy Luce." Natsu muttered pulling her towards him. A squeak escaped her lips at the gesture.

"Natsu?"

"You smell like him…" He whispered, caressing her cheek that Kato had kissed earlier. Lucy blinked in confusion at him.

"W-what?" Lucy asked confused at what he was saying. Her eyes widened when Natsu leaned forward and kissed her cheek, the one that Kato had kissed earlier.

"That's to replace the kiss he gave you…" He whispered. Slowly he kissed her lips that instantly made Lucy blush another shade of red.

"This is to show you that you're mine." He said, pulling her into a warm hug. He snuggled against her neck and sighed in content.

"And this is to have my scent on you…" He mumbled against her neck. Lucy sat on the bed with Natsu hugging her; well more like was cuddling her. She could feel her face hot due to the harsh blush she had. Maybe my face is even redder than Erza's hair? Ahh! Natsu stop being so sweet! My heart's going to explode!

"I'll protect you Luce… No one's going to take you from me." Natsu added his voice downing in sleepiness. Slowly his snores grew louder and louder, while Lucy hugged the sleeping mage to her.

"I'm only yours Natsu…" Lucy whispered, looking at his sleeping face. Slowly she leaned forward and kissed his cheek; pulling back she instantly slapped her hands on her cheeks as she blushed furiously. I-I ki-kissed him!

While Lucy was busy having a mental breakdown about her kissing Natsu, she failed to notice that Natsu peeked an eye open and smiled at her. She's so cute~
