Chapter 1

Lucy gave a sigh as she slowly awoke from sleep, blinking as she stared at her ceiling before frowning slightly. Something was wrong..Her apartment was far too quiet for this late in the morning. Turning over, she felt her eyes widen slightly as she saw that she had even been able to sleep in some, something that had never happened since she had joined Fairy Tail.

Usually by now, she was rather screaming at Gray for streaking inside her apartment. Begging Erza to stop asking her for cake or something else sweet. Or kicking Natsu out of her bed for intruding and scaring the living daylights out of her. Yet, none of them were around, at least, not in her room like usual. Sitting upright, she bit her bottom lip as a feeling of forebode settled over her. Giving a sigh, she threw the covers aside and carefully started toward her door.

Her intentions were just to make sure that they hadn't totaled the rest of her apartment, having finally thought to leave her alone to sleep and instead make themselves comfortable. Which meant that she would most likely be walking into a war zone, and she could already picture it. Half of her apartment would be burnt to a crisp, and then covered in ice, where Natsu hadn't thought and lit something on fire-causing Gray to put it out with his Ice Devil Slayer magic. Then find wreckage where Erza had decided to punish them for their incompetence.

Nearly in tears, she opened the door with her eyes closed and carefully peeked one eye open. Snapping them both open as she saw that her apartment was still in order, nothing was amiss, and everything had been just like she had left it the night before. With no signs of her teammates anywhere. Tilting her head slightly, she stepped into the room and stared around. Expecting her teammates to jump out at her at any moment since everything was still too quiet. Thinking that there was no way that they wouldn't just stop coming to her apartment out of the blue.

"They're not here because I already kicked them out. How the hell can you let them just enter like that?" A sudden voice stated, causing her to blink and spin around. Feeling her eyes widen as she saw Cobra laid out on her couch, one of her teacups sitting on the table before him, and him just merely staring at her with his single eye.

An array of thoughts shot through her mind, mainly along the path of why Cobra was in her apartment, where was the rest of his group, how he had gotten in without her knowing, and what he was drinking in her teacup? However, she merely blinked before raising an eyebrow.

"How did you manage to get them to leave without them raising a huge fuss? Usually if anyone tried something like that, half the apartments would be gone." She stated, crossing her arms while he blinked before giving an amused huff and sat up.

"They didn't go quietly, I'll admit to that. Surprised Salamander's yelling didn't wake you, or how the temperature dropped with Ice Pricks displeasure, but after assuring Titania that I was merely here to make amends-along with everyone else-she dragged the two away." He stated, causing her to huff and then glance at her teacup.

"It's a mixed concoction of bleach, window cleaner, and some of the alcohol I found." He stated, causing her to blink and raise an eyebrow while mentally making a note to wash that specific cup very thoroughly.

"Alright then. So, what do you mean by making amends?" She asked, watching as he blinked before frowning.

"What about all your other questions?" He muttered, causing her to blink before recalling that he could hear her thoughts through her soul.

"Well, you already answered that you're in my apartment to make amends. Also I suspect that you group is rather crashing someone else's place to make amends there, or at the guild hall. As for getting in without me knowing, my whole team has done the same thing on multiple occasions, I honestly don't know why I even question it anymore." She stated, watching as he blinked before giving a hum and leaning back slightly.

"Interesting. Anyway, the reason for making amends is because we've all been pardoned by the new council, and we want to join Fairy Tail, at least some of us anyway. Everyone else is at the guild, except Midnight and I wanted to make sure that you were completely comfortable with the idea before asking Makarov." He stated, this time causing her to blink in confusion.

"Why wouldn't I be comfortable with it?" She asked, watching as he tensed before looking at her for a moment before frowning.

"What do you mean?" He asked, moving over to give her some room as she plopped down beside him with a shrug.

"As I said; Why wouldn't I be comfortable with it? I actually think it's amazing that all of you are pardoned! Not to mention, we get some more members in our big, crazy family." She stated, giving him a smile that had him stilling and looking around as if he was lost.

"Something wrong?" She asked, watching as he brought his gaze back to her, before shaking his head.

"I..I guess not." He muttered, still looking lost. Deciding not to question him about it, she instead looked around with a frown.

"I thought you said both yourself, and Midnight decided to stop by." She stated, turning back to him when he gave a small hum.

"He's in the kitchen. Probably helping himself to all of the juice in your fridge." He muttered, and she stood to check, but stopped when Cobra gave a slightly grunt. Turning back to him, she raised an eyebrow as she saw that he was looking her over in obvious amusement.

"Do you always have a habit of greeting guests like that? I'm not complaining, but I'm pretty sure that you'll give Midnight a heart attack." He stated, causing her to blink and look down at herself. Automatically feeling a blush appear on her cheeks as she realized that she was still in her sleepwear.

Which consisted of a lacy, cream colored baby doll, and a pair of black and pink short, shorts. Giving a yelp, she swung her foot out and felt it connect with Cobra before swiftly turning around and running back into her room.

"You pervert! Why didn't you say something sooner!" She screeched, slamming her door shut and quickly headed for her closet.

Cobra gave a groan as he picked himself up off the floor, bringing his hand up to rub his jaw. He had heard of her 'Lucy Kicks' but never thought that they hurt this bad. He had almost been sure that his head was going to come off when she kicked him. Not to mention, he hadn't even heard it coming, something that never happened.

Usually for an attack like that, the body give all kinds of sounds to warn him. The muscles letting out groans as they tensed in preparation, the blood became quicker in the veins as adrenaline pumped through them, and the soul usually gave a clue as to what was to come. However, her body had just continued to give off that calming melody that made up her soul.

A soothing sound that was best described as strums of harps, the notes of a perfectly tuned piano, and the occasional hum of what one could say sounded like a violin when she was extra happy. It all came together beautifully for her soul, but it also seemed to distract him from listening to the rest of her body, especially when it came to her kicks.

"What the hell did you do to her?" The question caused him to look up and he scowled as Midnight stepped into the room while warily looking toward the bedroom.

"I didn't do a damn thing to her. I just asked if she usually greeted people in such revealing clothes." He growled out, before finally standing back up and watching as Midnight raised an eyebrow as he continued to rub at his jaw.

"Revealing clothes? You do realize that we've worked alongside Sorano for some time now. Revealing clothes shouldn't affect any of us." Midnight mumbled, and Cobra shook his head.

"Trust me. This was more revealing than what Sorano usually wears. Besides, I'm more concerned with the fact that she doesn't even have a slight problem with us joining the guild." He muttered, watching as Midnight's eyes widened ever so slightly before he frowned.

"She doesn't have any problems at all? But..We attacked her friends, with the intent to kill. Hell, I attempted to sacrifice her. I knew that she was forgiving, but there was no way she wouldn't have some doubt." He muttered, and Cobra gave a shrug.

"Nothing. She doesn't have any doubt in her soul, and has nothing but completely forgiveness for us." He muttered, watching as Midnight blinked for a moment. Cobra could hear that he was completely stunned, that he couldn't understand as to why anyone could forgive them for the things that they had done. He gave a sigh as the usual melancholic sound of Midnight's soul thrummed out of tune as he tried to figure everything out, and felt a frown pull at his lips as a small tune of hope attempted to appear in the usual gloomy soul, but was quickly pushed aside as Midnight finally shook his head.

"There has to be some mistake. She must have misheard you, or...or something! No one is that forgiving." Midnight stated, and Cobra had to sigh. He had explained everything to Lucy, she had understood perfectly, and her soul hadn't even so much as flinched at the thought of them joining Fairy Tail. However, he knew that Midnight wouldn't trust his words alone, not when he held onto so much guilt over his actions.

"See for yourself." He muttered, watching as the man blinked before giving a frown and looked toward the door where Lucy had disappeared to. His soul once again in a chaos of cacophony sounds. He blocked out the sound and turned his gaze toward the door as well, wondering how someone could be so forgiving. There was plenty of things that he questioned about Lucy Heartfilia, and he was determined to figure out what caused her to tick. From her thoughts, to how she managed to keep her soul so pure, and beautiful.
