Natsu, Happy and Lucy were on a a bunch of bandits Ambush them more than once.
What will Lucy do when she is reunited with Natsu who is suppose to be dead.
Will Natsu come back the same?
Or will this experience change him into becoming more distant and uncaring?
_This story will be updated Every Thursday if I continue._
Lucy Heartfillia walked through an empty street. Rain pouring down on her severely wounded body. She wearily looked down at the equally wounded sleeping blue cat in her arms. Tears prickled her eyes, as her mind raced back to the event that just occurred only moments ago.
XOXOXO
"Another Ambush!?"
"This is the fifth one in the last four hours" Happy moaned groggily.
"Natsu! Natsu are you alright?! Stand up!" Lucy cried out. She started to run to him but then a tall man in an instant was standing behind her.
"Where do you think you are going Missy?" The man said as he grabbed her hands and held them behind her back.
"Let me go!" The blonde squealed as she tried squirming away from the man, who only tightened his hold on her.
"This doesn't concern you! We want the boy and if you get in the way well… let's just say it will be a darn shame to kill a cute thing such as yourself." The man smirked.
"Natsu…"
"Ha! You call yourself the famous dragon slayer?! You can't even stand to your feet" A different bandit hollered to Natsu who was on the cold ground motionless.
"Natsu, Lucy!" Happy yelped as he struggled to get away from the muscular bandit. The man held happy by the back of his neck then wasted no time pulling out a sack. Once he aggressively threw Happy in it, he tied it up real tight.
"Happy!" Lucy yelled still trapped in place.
Natsu slowly clenched his fists hearing the cries of his teammates. He growled lowly before weakly standing to his feet, triggering the remaining eight bandits to look at the pink-haired dragon slayer. Natsu opened his eyes slowly, his eyes landed on a tan sack, with feet kicking at the sides. He heard muffled cries of 'Help' or 'Get me out of here Natsu, Lucy'. Then his eyes quickly searched the room, until they landed on a sobbing blonde with a fairly relived smile on her face.
"Y-You bastards!" He snarled
"You're still standing to your feet? Maybe this isn't a waste of time after all" The leader stated as he sat down and crossed his legs.
"You BASTARDS" Natsu roared louder
"How dare you, make Lucy cry! How dare you, stuff my partner in a sack!"
There was a quick pause before Natsu roared again.
"All of you…"
"ARE GOING TO PAY!"
In the next instant Natsu was behind the man holding Lucy. With one quick heated fire punch he knocked the taller man sending him crashing into a wall in the distance. Natsu was beyond pissed right now. The black shadow covering his nose up to his forehead with gleaming red eyes was almost scarier than Erza's wrath.
"Natsu?" Lucy lifted a brow as more tears fell from her eye.
"Don't cry Lucy… save the tears for when we kick these guys asses. Sending them back to hell" He barked at her and quickly put his back against hers, glaring viciously at the man holding the tan sack.
The warmth of Natsu's back leaning against Lucy's, triggered a smile to form her lips. Wiping her tears away, Lucy shifted her head forward and scowled at the men in front of her.
"Yeah! Let's do this Natsu! I'm with you all the way" Lucy said as she pulled out one of her keys.
"That a girl let's go!" He smirked as he lit both fists on fire.
XOXOXO
Lucy took a deep breath in as she despairingly made her way into her single bedroom apartment. She set Happy down on her soft bed, and then brushed her hand against his cheek in a loving manner before standing to her feet.
Raising her head to her forehead Lucy exhaled, while she dragged her fingers through the soft tangles of her golden hair. Moving her body to face her bathroom door, Lucy took one more glance at the sleeping Happy before she strolled to the wooden door. Shutting the door behind her, Lucy looked down at her ripped clothes then gazed in the mirror; letting a few tears make their way down her cheek, she slowly placed her delicate hands on her bruised face.
Lucy walked over to the tub and turned her shower on. She quickly got undressed and stepped in, allowing the hot water to soak into her creamy skin, reliving her of her pain for a bit.
She washed her long silky blonde hair with her favorite lavender-vanilla shampoo and conditioner before carefully washing her sore body. Lucy stood under the hot water for an hour before remorsefully shutting it off.
Grabbing her a short while towel off the towel rack Lucy wrapped it around her small curvy body.
Feeling somewhat better now that she had taken a shower, the blonde walked out of the bathroom to her bedroom. She instinctively searched her room for a snoring, eating, or grinning male.
Nothing…
The room was empty, no excitement, no snickering, or snoring. Happy was still quietly, fast asleep where Lucy had placed him.
A huge weight then settles in her chest, as she slowly drops herself to sit on the floor, placing her balled fist over her aching heart.
"He should be back by now! So why isn't he?!"
When she realized she was weeping, she shut her eyes tight and cried harder; trying not to wake Happy up, she placed her hand over her mouth so she could muffle her sobs.
"Natsu… You idiot!"
XOXOXO
"Let's go Lucy!" Natsu shouted as he lit both his fists on fire.
"Open gate of, Capricorn!"
Natsu dashed towards the man with the sack however the bandit dodged him with ease. Suddenly three men sprinted towards Natsu, catching him off guard by swinging at him with metal pipes. Natsu was quick to get on his feet.
"You guys just aren't playin' fair… fine… You asked for this! Fire dragon roar!" Natsu spit out a dangerous flamethrower and hit all three men which burnt them to a crisp. When those three were out of the way Natsu focused his attention back to the bandit holding Happy in a sack.
"You shouldn't have friend's salamander!"
"For you to develop feelings, well that's your greatest weakness. But it's our greatest strength…"
"Because of your connections to others; we can bring suffering to you before we dispose of you"
"And what better way to kills someone, than with lots of torture"
Natsu's scrunched his face as more rage boiled inside. The bald headed man smirked while he placed a hand on his hip.
"I will give you this chance… If you want your precious kitty cat back come get him…" The bandit shouted as he put the tied up sack down and pulled out a baseball bat.
"That is…"
"If you can get to him before he is dead." The bandit sneered and swung the baseball bat into the moving sack. Happy shrieked from inside bringing Natsu's rage to the highest point it's ever been at.
"Stop it!" Natsu cursed as he sprinted as fast as he could to the half a mile away, bandit who continued hitting the sack. Natsu threw fire balls at the bandit but it was no use he dodged every one.
"Capricorn wait stop!" Lucy squealed causing Capricorn to stop pounding the four men and turned to Lucy.
"Please! Help Happy! Get him away from the man!"
"Yes Miss Lucy!" in an instant Capricorn was in front of the bandit.
"What the-" The bandit looked up at what stopped his baseball bat from swinging.
"Lady Lucy has given me my orders." Capricorn stated calmly before retrieving the tan sack and bringing it back to Lucy. In that time Natsu had managed to reach the bandit. He tackled him to the ground and threw punch after punch so hard that his knuckles were bleeding. Lucy quickly untied the sack and pulled out the beaten up Happy.
"Happy! Happy! Are you alright! Hey open your eyes!"
With a heavy breath Happy tightened his eyes then slowly opened them. The sight of a worried Lucy made him smile.
"Y-You look like an old lady Lucy!"
"Thank goodness Happy" Lucy brought him into a hug. Natsu started walking over to Lucy and Natsu when out of nowhere lighting struck Capricorn sending him back to the spirit world. Lucy Happy and Natsu darted their heads to the direction it came from.
"Looks like I've underestimated you all" The leader of the bandits said as he walked closer to Happy and Lucy.
"Stay the hell away from them" Natsu growled through his teeth as he started running towards her, only to be struck by lighting and fall to the ground.
"I see it now… your greatest weakness is this girl and cat, Dragon slayer."
"No! Lucy! Happy!" Natsu stood to his feet the same time the red haired man charged up his lighting. The sight of the quick lightning bolt caused Lucy to freeze in her spot. It was just coming so fast there was to time to react. This was it for Happy and Lucy…
She closed her eyes tight and waited to feel the electrifying pain, but it never came. Lucy opened one eye and they both widened at the sight of Natsu standing in front of her and Happy getting hit instead.
Though it only lasted a second, it felt like the whole world stopped just so Happy and Lucy was forced to watch it for eternity.
Lucy's eyes watered up and she screamed his name as he fell to the floor. Lucy let go of Happy and was about to run to Natsu who was breathing heavily, but he protested.
"Happy! Huff please… g-grab Lucy and huff fly out of here" Natsu clutched his side.
"Natsu" Happy mumbled
"What about you Natsu? Happy can carry us both!" Lucy said.
"N-No… there is no way this guy will let us all go... I will distract him you go" Natsu stated as he weakly stood back up. Lucy took a step forward but gasped she felt something grab her shirt and pull her into the air. She quickly craned her head over her shoulder to see Happy flying away without even looking back.
"What are you doing Happy put me down Natsu needs us" Lucy tried squirming free but Happy held as tight as he could.
"Natsu! Natsuuu! Natttsssssuuuuuu" Lucy cried as she extended her hand to try and reach Natsu who was getting further and further away.
Natsu took a deep breath as he felt his heart grow heavy. He quickly shook it off and got into battle stance.
When Natsu was completely out of sight Lucy darted her head towards Happy to say something, but her mouth glued shut when she saw tears streaming down the side of his face. She lifted her eye brows then turned her head back to face forward; she too began to weep again.
XOXOXO
"Idiot, Idiot, Idiot" Lucy cried harder in her hand. When she felt a small tap on her leg, she quickly opened her eyes to look down to see a worried Happy.
"Lucy?" Happy mumbled
"Happy"
"It's going to be okay…" Happy said as his own eyes filled with tears. Lucy breathed in and picked Happy up and held him in a tight embrace.
The two sobbed to each other for a while before breaking apart due to roaring stomachs. Happy narrowed his eyes and sighed.
"How can my tummy be hungry at a time like this?"
"Well it would make sense we haven't eaten since this morning! How about some fish?"
What do you guys think should I continue it?
Thanks for reading ^/w/^
