Phantom or Fairy

-.-

D/C: I own nothing.

-.-

Lucy began to wonder if everyone from Fairy Tail is just as idiotic as Natsu or if it's just him. At this point, she didn't have much say in the matter as she's low on options when it comes to dealing with Bora. The last thing she needed is to go in alone and somehow fall like all those other girls once more with those charms. She doesn't have Gajeel or Juvia by her side and even with her charm to counter Bora's charm, she is still going to need help.

But…

Natsu and Happy are currently eating into her savings with all the food they are currently stuffing into their mouths. Lucy's more surprise at the fact they haven't choked on a bone or something. Taking in a deep breath, she thought over her words. "Are you two really from Fairy Tail? I want to join but I haven't met anyone from there yet."

Natsu and Happy looked over their massive plates of food to look at a resigned Lucy. He grinned at her, but this only earned him a scowl. "Yeah! I'm Natsu Dragneel the real Salamander!"

"Aye sir!" Happy agreed, flying through the air with a fish in his paws. "This poor excuse of a mage is the actual Salamander of Fairy Tail~"

"Hey! What does that suppose to mean!" Natsu cried out to Happy who only laughed as he flew away.

"Do you want to take down Bora?" Lucy asked, using the distraction to her advantage.

Natsu only paused momentarily before he smirked at the thought of taking down the faker. "Now we're talking! Let's go kick his butt!"

'Okay… maybe this will be easier than I thought it would be.'

-.-

'I TAKE IT BACK!' Lucy screamed in her mind as Natsu grabs hold of her and makes a run for it… after he destroyed Bora's ship, Bora and his men along with a part of the city. Everything for the most part went as planned. Get on Bora's ship to rescue the young women that were charm by the disgraced mage, beat Bora and well… they did that… for the most part.

Except the fact that Natsu has managed to destroy Bora's ship and this resulted with Lucy summoning Aquarius to bring the boat to shore. Then having to deal with Bora and his men, which Natsu dealt with them while Lucy helped the now former captives away from the brewing fight. It was there that she quickly learned why Master Jose wants to become stronger than Fairy Tail.

Lucy shook her head to get rid of those thoughts. She no longer has time to dwell on Phantom Lord and Master Jose's need to beat Fairy Tail. Right now, she has to stay away from her former guild and that starts with joining Fairy Tail… that's if they accept her.

"Come on! Didn't you say you wanted to join Fairy Tail or something? You just need to take an interview and you're in!" Natsu laughed as he pulled Lucy away from the wreckage.

"Stop pulling on my jacket! It's one of a kind!"

-.-

Elsewhere…

Juvia and Gajeel knew they were going to be the first ones questioned in Lucy's disappearance. Did they mention anything regarding said disappearance? They did not. That would be the last thing they would ever do, to their friend.

They know they are under scrutiny, even more so than before. Master Jose doesn't like the fact that his opportunity of getting fast money was gone, it made him more unbearable. Even more so with the fear that Lucy could betray the guild. Even then, Juvia and Gajeel are doing their best to erase their friend's tracks or throw a red herring when it's necessary.

They fear the day that they are found out or have to hunt down Lucy…It was just a matter of time.

TBC.
