The Misfit

Chapter One: Turn around!


"Screw the alarm clock. Screw the sun light. Screw responsibilities. Screw school. Screw arrogant douche-bag like guys- No, scratch that, just screw all guys. All of em can go to hell." A certain blonde vented to her petite, blue haired friend.

'Well, except one…' Lucy added in an afterthought.

Said bluenette; Levy McGarden, whistled impressively. "That's a nice list you got going on there Lu!"

Lucy growled at her in mock annoyance. With a tone that radiated a giant fuck-you, Lucy simply "HMPH'ED"

To this, Levy just ignored her. Lucy always got angry when she had a bad day (Who wouldn't). Which was usually everyday…

Regardless, Levy knew Lucy didn't mean the 'fuck-you-too hmph' out of spite, but rather; 'Thank you for listening Levy!'

At least, that's how she saw it. It was more or less a rough translation.

"What guy bugged you today?" Levy asked curiously.

Lucy sighed, "Laxus."

Levy whistled again, "Senior captain of the football team? Dang Lu, I'm impressed yet again. " She teased. But she really was impressed, you don't often see a senior going after a sophomore… Levy could understand why though; Lucy was a Grade-A bombshell. By that, Levy meant that she had the body of a goddess. Only few girls in the school could compare to her.

Lucy pouted. "It's not funny Levy! Every day, it's a new guy. Whether it be a little fan boy, or an arrogant meat head who thinks he's the shit."

Levy frowned. "Okay... Well, why are you so upset at Laxus? You've never gotten this angry before at any guy."

"Cause, he's a little shit head."

Levy sighed in exasperation, "Alright missy, spill it."

"No, you're gonna make some smartass comment and interrupt while I tell you like every other time."

"Just tell me! I promise I won't interrupt!"

"No interrupting Levy. NONE! AT! ALL! UNDERSTOOD!?" Lucy made sure to punctuate in all the right spot to get the meaning across.

Levy brushed her serious tone off, "Yeah yeah, hurry up big tits."

Lucy glared at her before growling. "Okay, so here's how it started…"


: : : FLASH BACK STARTS : : :


Lucy stepped inside the metro just like every other day she decided to not drive or walk. A drive from her apartment to school would take roughly about fifteen minutes. If she were to walk, it'd take anywhere from thirty-five to forty-five minutes depending on the pace she sets. The subway took roughly the same time for her to get to school. Multiple reasons could dictate her means of transport.

If it was a nice day and relatively warm, she'd walk. If it was too cold for her to get to the Magnolia Metro station (two to three minute walk.), she'd drive. Or it could be simply that she didn't want to drive or walk.

Today was one of those days. It was early in the school year and there were barely any assignments. So she took this day to just relax on the metro.

Nearly every time she took the metro, she was always able to relax.

Nearly every time.

Today was not one of those days.

She was simply standing with her iPod in hand and listening to the music. Several minutes later, the subway stopped at its next stop to let people in. Lucy randomly scanned the people coming in and noticed a guy who was easily 6'5 with blond hair. Lucy instantly recognized this to be Laxus Dreyar. The senior was the captain of the football team. His grandpa was the principal of the school so he got away with everything. Like the other pompous students at school, he was spoiled beyond measures. Fucking classic.

He was the 'king' of the school. Mister head honcho, Superstar jock. You get the idea… Lucy rolled her eyes in disgust. Sure he was attractive, but that didn't mean jack shit since he had an extreme case of what Lucy called the 'Douche-Disease.'

Lucy then looked away so she wouldn't catch the guy's attention. She didn't mean to sound cocky, but guys were slightly obsessed with her. She always received love letters at least once a week.

Of course, even if she wanted to avoid Laxus, it was not meant to be. The kami of this universe (THAT'S ME!) destined a meeting between the two blondes. Lucy forgot all about Laxus as her favorite song popped up. She internally cheered, I mean, who doesn't love getting that one awesome song on shuffle. She bobbed her head slightly to the rhythm of the beat and chanted along inside of her head.

Suddenly, her earphones were ripped out of her ear.

She wheeled around to confront the earphone-ripper.

Laxus didn't drive to school today. After all, he had a more important task to do that took priority immediately. You see, Laxus got bored with his girlfrie- well, ex-girlfriend, so he dumped her.

He didn't care a single bit.

He was Laxus fucking Dreyar. Number one chick magnet at Fairy Tail High, of course he didn't care.

And today, Laxus was gonna get him a new piece of ass. He's noticed one of the underclassman at school, a blonde like himself. He didn't know much about her except that she had a very nice ass and some big ol' knockers.

He loved big ol' knockers.

So he scouted her out. He found out she was Lucy Heartfillia; Daughter of Jude Heartfillia, owner of a dominating business empire. It wasn't really that hard to find out, Fairy Tail High only let in students of the highest caliber. Of course, this meant majority of the teenagers whose parents had a boat load of money were let in. There were a few exceptions, people with scholarships and what not, but they were of the few.

Laxus, however, was a special case. His grandpa wasn't just some rich guy, he was rich and the principle of the Fairy Tail High.

So here Laxus was, standing on the train looking for the blonde female. He knew she was gonna take the train through routinely checking her transportation pattern, as creepy as it may have sounded, he wasn't going to admit it.

As soon as he located her, he grinned in a very douche-bag way and walked on over in a douche-bag way. As soon as he got near her, he tugged her earphones off.

"Yo, I'm Laxus." He said smugly.

'That should have her begging to be with me.' Thought the douche bag senior.

Lucy turned around to find out who rudely took her earphones off. When Lucy identified the person who interrupted her favorite song, she raged inside. Someone already interrupted her song, rudely. It wasn't even a tap on the shoulder and him asking her "Hey! Can I talk to you?" Instead, it was 'Super Douche' rippin' her earphones out.

She was really tempted to kick him in the gonads. But instead, only Kami knows why, she just smiled politely and said, "Yes?"

Laxus gaped and collapsed to his knees. 'H-h-how did she resist my awesome charms? I-IMPOSSIBLE!' In a flash, Laxus was back standing up casually, acting as if nothing ever happened.

Laxus smirked arrogantly, "Lucky you babe, you get to be my next girlfriend."

Lucy stared at the idiot before herself. She asked in an incredulous tone, "Are you fucking serious?"

By now, people started getting curious when they heard someone (Lucy) curse. Lucy didn't care though, she was her own person. And right now, she was angry, and what do people do when they get angry? They curse the shit out of everything.

'Who the fuck does he think he is? Bah! I'm tired of guys like these. Stupid, absolutely stupid rich pompous-'

"Yeah babe, As a tradition, you can pick where we do it at first; my place or yours?" he smirked as he unknowingly interrupted her train of thoughts.

Lucy repeated herself in the same tone. "Are. You. Fucking. Serious?"

"That's only for the first time though, whenever we do it, we'll be doing it whenever I want." He added. Laxus smiled stupidly. He thought she was asking 'Are you fucking serious?' in an excited and wanting way...

Boy was he wrong…

Lucy narrowed her eyes at Laxus, "And pray tell, what do you mean by 'where we do it at'?"

Laxus looked somewhat surprised before he eagerly replied. "Y'know; bang, fuck, sex, intercourse. Take your pick, don't matter to me."

Lucy had to calm herself. Why on earth would Kami create someone like this. She took deep breaths to calm down. After Lucy calmed herself (Laxus thought she was hyperventilating in excitement.), She replied in a flat tone, "Listen buddy, I'm sorry… but I'm not sorry."

With that being said, Lucy plugged her earphones back in and made way to get away from him.

Laxus was an idiot, sure. But even he wasn't stupid enough to realize he just got rejected. This situation was foreign to him, and like the brute he was, he got angry. He pushed people out the way and made way for the other blonde. Lucy felt a hand grip her shoulder rather tightly and she was spun around.

"Did you think you could just walk away from me?" Laxus seethed, hand still clawed onto her shoulder.

Lucy stood without moving. Lucy was actually scared.

Why? Because most people wouldn't physically touch her while being aware of whom she was. Because she was the daughter of the famous Jude Heartfilia, and no one dared to try him.

No one,

So when the hand that gripped her painfully spun her around, she froze up and her body refused to acknowledge her will as it started shaking.

Laxus smirked smugly when he saw her tremble slightly.

"What's wrong Heartfilia, ya scared?" he whispered tauntingly as he started pulling her in a bit closer.

As soon as he said that, he yanked her into him forcefully and slid his hand down her back slowly while his other hand forced her head face first into his chest, effectively smothering her.

Lucy tried to break free, she really did, but the guy was just too strong. She tried screaming but it was muffled by his chest. As his hand slid dangerously close to her rear end, she panicked and jerked her knee up on pure instinct...

Fortunately, it had an unintentional desired effect for Lucy when Laxus was found on the ground whimpering in the fetal position clutching his unmentionables.

Lucy gasped for the lack of oxygen in her lungs. As soon as she took in a few breaths, she turned to run away. But as she went to take a step, a hand shot out at her ankle and grasped it. This action combined with the motion of her leaning forward to run away caused her to tumble on the ground.

Books, along with school content spilled out on the floor and bystanders uncomfortably took a step back. Who were they to do something? This big ass blonde guy looked like a monster with steroids injected in him. No way, they didn't need to get involved here, besides, they were sure someone in the crowd would do something eventually (A/N: The bystander effect. In this case, it's an extremely over exaggerated bystander effect. Plus, its my story:D). Lucy groaned at the pain her tumble caused. She bruised her knee, but it wasn't too bad. As she finished her mental diagnostics, she saw a shadow loom over her. She turned around and saw Laxus's frame towering over her.

Needless to say, he wasn't too happy.

Laxus snarled as she faced him. He cocked his hand back to swing wildly at her.

When Lucy saw this motion, she covered her face hoping that the minimum protection would lessen the damage from the inevitable blow.

The whooshing of the air indicated that Laxus's punch was in motion and it would land on her in a second…

Tick... Tock...

… Or two?

She was sure the pain was gonna come.

Tick... Tock... Tick...

… Any moment now…

A bored yet slightly amused voice pierced the silent yet tense atmosphere. "I don't think that's what hitting on girls is supposed to look like."


A certain male was observing the spectacle unfolding at a distance.

This certain male wore baggy sweatpants and an oversized hoodie covering his body. Despite the warm clothing, he had a white scarf on with a scale-like pattern around his neck. To top it all off, he had pink hair…

Not that you could see it, for a beanie was placed on his head efficiently hiding all the pink.

'DON'T GET INVOLVED. DON'T GET INVOLVED. DON'T GET INVOLVED.' Thought Natsu as he chanted the mantra in his head.

There was a situation going on before him; blonde guy hitting on blonde girl gone awry, in a metro. It was his first day In Magnolia, and already shit happens to him?

Regardless, Natsu chanted the mantra with discipline, 'DON'T GET INVOLVED. DON'T GET INVOLVED. DON'T GET INVOLVED. I REPEAT. DON'T GET INVOLVED.'

Despite repeating the phrase, Natsu couldn't help but gravitate towards the scene. In the beginning, he was looking on amusedly at the cocky guy hitting on the rather attractive girl from quite a distance. He moved in a bit closer to listen, but he was still rather far. Maybe fifteen, twenty feet away from the 'entertainment'. After all, he had superb hearing. He didn't know why, but he did.

But when he saw that the girl blow off the guy, he couldn't help but grin. The guy looked so retarded. He had to bring his hand up to stifle his chuckle.

But Natsu immediately noticed the hostile intentions that vibed off the blonde was at this point Natsu tried looking away. He began the mantra of not getting involved. Reasoning that nothing good could come out of this for him, this is how he tried repressing the guilt.

After all, the amount of people that helped him he could count on one whole finger.

So under no circumstances, was he to get involved.

Yet here he was, getting closer and closer…

Getting involved.

He sighed as he approached tucking his precious scarf inside of his hoodie, effectively protecting it from potential danger.

'I might as well fully commit to helping.' He thought wryly.

Natsu watched the guy like a hawk, if he had any intentions of physically harming the girl, he would intervene. Otherwise, the girl could handle herself. He growled when the guy brought the girl into a forceful embrace. He started moving to separate the two blondes.

Then, all of a sudden…

BAM.

He stopped and brought his hand up to restrain the laughter threatening to spill out.

The big badass was on the ground clutching his gonads and whimpering.

Natsu couldn't help but chuckle, if the guy hadn't been a douche bag, Natsu would've sympathized for the guy.

Too bad he was a douche bag.

The situation ceased to be humorous for Natsu when the prick grabbed the girl's ankle, causing her to fall and spill everything. Natsu growled once again and started pushing people out the way. Natsu's eyes widened when he saw the male cocking his fist back to strike.


X X X X


Laxus barely moved his arm to harm the girl when Natsu dashed forward and caught the strike in his bare hand.

Laxus was stunned. 'WHO THE HELL IS THIS PUNK?! HOW'D HE STOP MY PUNCH SO EASILY?!'

The answer to this was pretty simple, Natsu wasn't no puny punk, in fact, he stood at 6'1 and underneath his baggy clothing, he was ripped…He just didn't flaunt it in any way (A/N: More info on Natsu next chapter.). Of course, him being trained in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) helped a ton.

In a placated yet slightly amused tone he said, "I don't think that's what hitting on girls is supposed to look like."

Laxus leapt back and growled, "Who the hell are you?!"

Natsu simply shrugged as a form of answer. Laxus growled and made a move to charge at the guy who halted his 'advances.' Natsu then held his hand up as if saying 'hold on a moment please'. This confused Laxus, thus stopping him from what he was gonna do. Natsu, with his hand still held up, looked at some of the crowd that had gathered.

He glared at them disapprovingly.

"WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS JUST STANDING AROUND FOR?! DO YOU NOT SEE WHAT'S GOING ON?" He roared, causing everyone to flinch. Everyone looked down in disappointment and shame.

Natsu was about to continue his rant when he felt a punch swinging toward him. On instinct, Natsu ducked down to avoid the fist but it knocked his beanie off, effectively exposing his pink hair.

'looks like he didn't wanna wait' Natsu mused without noticing his beanie falling off.

A few people in the crowed muttered in surprise. Everyone else simply kept quiet with awe as they watched the big burly blonde unsuccessfully trying to land a hit on the deft pink haired teen. Natsu smirked. Big beefy people tended to be pretty slow, thus making them easy to read. They projected their attacks by cocking back their arms wildly before swinging. Natsu simply weaved side to side dodging all of the punches and the few uncoordinated kicks sent his way.

After a few minutes of Laxus constantly wasting energy, he slowed down. It was draining to constantly keep up a stream of frequent punches. Natsu decided he had enough. When the next punch came swinging horizontally, Natsu ducked once again with his hands tucked to his sides. As he came back up with a devious glint in his eyes, he delivered a right handed uppercut right in the family jewels.

The uppercut immediately incapacitated Laxus.

Lucy slowly opened her eyes when she heard the voice. She briefly took in the appearance of her savior as her eyes strayed for any identifying feature. Although she couldn't really tell seeing as he wore loose clothing and a beanie.

He shocked her when he screamed at the crowd for being a bunch of pansies. She felt a small smile tug at her face. 'huh, looks like there are still some good people out in the world.' However, she squealed in surprise and covered her face on instinct when her savior ducked down suddenly avoiding a punch that knocked his beanie off. After a full minute of keeping her eyes closed through the obvious grunts of Laxus, she opened her eyes slowly to see what became of her hero.

When she opened her eyes, one could see that she was surprised. For when she opened her eyes, lo' and behold the sight of her hero with a fist rocketing into the organ she previously abused. Yet… her eyes gravitated to only one thing; the hair of her 'Mr. Hero.'

'Pink…?'


X


Natsu looked at Laxus with a somewhat sympathetic look.

'How could one be so stupid?'

Natsu chuckled inwardly. When he finally looked up, he noticed people were staring.

Natsu sighed.

Only one thing could garner their attention to him like that; 'the' hair was out and exposed… Initially, he hadn't noticed that the hair was out, but the way they stared said otherwise. From an unbiased view, it seemed as if People were staring at him with awe and wonder… From his view, it was misinterpreted for a stare of 'that-delinquent-is-scary' kind of stare. He figured there was only one thing that could have caught their attention; The damn hair.

He quickly found his beanie without exposing his face to the blonde. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about her singling him out in the future (If they ever met again.) saying, "That guy almost killed someone on the train!"

With only his pink hair as an identifying mark, it should be near impossible to identify him unless she's seen his face. But he knew to hide his face; he didn't want any attention at all.

Natsu quickly put his beanie on once again to cover his mop of pink hair. He casually walked away when he heard a feminine voice call out.

"Wait! Who are you?!"

Instantly identifying the voice as Lucy's, Natsu simply called out, "You're welcome."

Lucy slowly tried getting up. Unfortunately, the train was arriving at the next station. The motion caused her to scream and tumble once more, only this time, it was in the direction of the stranger that saved her. She closed her eyes once more and braced herself for impact.

And for the second time that day, she felt no pain when she should've. Instead of pain, she found a pair of arms grabbing onto her securely.

The metro slowed down for the next stop.

'I think this is the stop where I'm supposed to get off at…' Natsu began to pull a piece of paper that had instructions on how to get school. But before he could, he a heard a familiar scream.

Natsu didn't know what compelled him to do it, but when he heard her scream, he turned around and took stock of the situation.

Immediately, he stabilized her by grabbing onto her waist softly but tightened the grip to secure her furthermore. He hoisted her up and spun her around so she stood facing the other way. Almost tentatively, he bent down and whispered into her ears, "Hey, could you be a bit careful? I don't wanna see your beautiful face all bruised up yeah?"

He smirked as she shuddered at his words. He saw a blush creep up her cheeks. When he heard the door open to let people out, he wordlessly slipped away and headed out the door.

Lucy turned around frantically hoping to catch his face only to be met with the familiar back of her savior. She desperately wanted to be able to put a face with her savior.

'Turn around…' she pleaded silently. However, her prayer went unmet.

"… So yeah… That's how it went." Lucy finished somewhat lamely.

Levy stopped and stared. "That's it? You didn't chase after him?!"

Lucy scowled. "Hey! In my defense, I didn't even know what he looked like! And besides, I can't go chasing around random strangers and skip school."

"Okay, but you knew what kind of clothes he was wearing right?" she retorted.

Lucy contemplated for a bit… Shit.

"Oh my gosh, I can't even remember what he was wearing!"

Levy face palmed before crying out, "How can my best friend be such an idiot! Go chase him down now!"

Lucy shook her head in exasperation and repeated, "I can't just chase him down!"

Levy ignored her argument and childishly muttered, "I would've chased him down."

Lucy rolled her eyes in response.

Levy sighed. "You could've finally nabbed yourself a boyfriend, yet here you are… Single as the last pringle."

"You're single too!"

"At least I know what my crush looks lik-" she stopped and slapped her mouth shut. Too late, Lucy had already heard. Levy felt a dangerous aura emitting from said blonde.

Levy gulped.

In a quiet tone that screamed danger, Lucy slowly asked, "Levy… Is there… something you would like to tell me…?"

Levy shook her head fearfully, "O-oh L-Lu! You know if i had s-something to t-tell you, I w-would!"

Lucy narrowed her eyes. Levy was gonna play it that way huh.

Lucy smiled way too widely for it to be considered innocent before speaking, "Oh thank goodness, because… you know… we are best friends, we should never, I repeat, never, keep secrets…" Lucy paused for a few seconds.

Levy fidgeted nervously wondering if her best friend was finished with her not too subtle threat.

Then Lucy added, "I'll give you one chance. Tell me now or I'll get Erza."

Levy squeaked. "OH WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE TIME! CLASS IS STARTING SOON. BYE LU!"

Lucy frowned. She checked her watch, "Hey! We have thirty minutes left-" As she looked up, her blue haired friend was nowhere to be found.

Lucy growled in frustration as she trudged her way to class.

Elsewhere…

"Shit, I got off the wrong stop." Natsu moaned. He cursed his stupidity.

'Mental note: Don't try and look cool when you leave the scene.' He internally groaned.

Oh well, Fairy Tail High shouldn't be too far of a walk. According to the paper, it was five minutes away.

'Hmm, school starts in a half hour… I'll have plenty of time, not that I really want to go… Oh well, better to go to school than hang out with that guy's psycho ass.'

With that being said, Natsu walked at a leisurely pace towards his new school.
