One Way or Another
Chapter One- Who's She Dating?

It was just an ordinary at the guild; everyone was either drinking, eating, fighting or deciding what job to go on. Mira finished cleaning a beer glass and placed it down in front of the dragon slayer who was currently stuffing his face with food. "who's she dating, Natsu?" Mira questioned.

"Whhdjo?" Natsu asked while still stuffing his face.

"Lucy." The take-over mage said bluntly.

Natsu looked at Mira like she had just spouted three heads, "She's not dating anyone."

Mira leaned over the counter and lowered her voice so only Natsu would hear, "have you not noticed how happy she is lately?" The younger mage started choking on his food, there's no way Lucy would date someone and not tell him, they were best friends. They didn't keep secrets from each other. "It's a sign of love." Mira explained dreamily.

Natsu started to panic and looked over the entire guild for the blond, till he spotted her talking to Laxus. Laxus!? When did Lucy start talking to him? The dragon slayer charged towards the two. "You bastard!" Cursed Natsu at the Laxus and grabbed Lucy's arm and dragged her to the other side of the guild, leaving a confused Laxus behind.

"What the hell Natsu?" The celestial spirit mage yelled at her nakama.

The dragon slayer looked down on the ground, his hair covering his eyes. "Why Laxus?" Natsu asked just loud enough for Lucy to hear. What did Laxus have that made him the one?

"Well he just offered and I couldn't really turn him down." The blond explained like it was no big deal.

Natsu felt a clench in his chest, "so if I offered, you would have said yes?"

"No." Lucy said bluntly.

"Why?" Natsu felt hurt that she answered so bluntly.

"Natsu, last time we tried training together I couldn't move for a week." Lucy shuddered at the memory, though Lucy didn't even think she could even call it training, he didn't even give her a chance to attack once.

Natsu tilted his head to the side. "Training?"

"Yeah, Laxus felt bad about what happened at the Harvest Festival and offered to give me a few lessons... Wait, what were you on about?" The celestial spirit mage asked confusedly.

Natsu chuckled nervously while he scratched the back of his head. "Nothing," and ran back to Mira before Lucy could say anything.

"It's not Laxus!" Natsu declared.

"I could have told you that." The barmaid giggled. "I have my suspicions that he's secretly dating Cana."

"I don't care about that! I need to find out who Luce is dating!" The dragon slayer was getting really worked up over the whole thing, he never imagined Lucy dating anyone and now that she was he didn't like it one bit.

"You jealous?" Mira smiled her signature smile.

"Why would I be jealous?" Natsu huffed and saw from the corner of his eye that Lucy was heading towards the guild exit. "She's leaving; tell Happy I'll be back later." Natsu was determined to find out who took Lucy away from him. One way or another.
