CHAPTER 1- A HELPING HAND

No One's POV

"Lucy, you can't go on like this." A man with spiky orange hair said. He was quite handsome, his orange hair was extremely spiky and the most noticeable part was that it looked like he had cat ears hidden in his orange mane. he dressed smartly in a nice black suit and his concerned hazel eyes hid behind a pair of sunglasses. He was Loke or Leo, the celestial spirit and leader of the zodiac. "This really isn't healthy."

The blonde in question didn't reply to him, instead she was staring at a horribly written letter on her desk, dried tear drops smearing some of the poor handwriting. She felt numb and cold. Half the time, it felt as if her body no longer worked properly. Why was all this happening to her? Was she just destined to lose everything that she loved?

Her parents were both dead and now, she could no longer see her oldest friend. Aquarius' broken key sat near the letter on her desk, just a reminder of all that she had lost.

Really, these past few weeks she should have been happy, laughing with her friends in their guild for the victory they accomplished, she could picture it perfectly in her head. Everyone yelling and laughing as they drank with each other, Mira would be serving everyone in the guild with a smile on her face and Lisanna would be helping her; Elfman would be yelling about Man this and Man that and how Manly he or something was; Cana would be on her fourth or fifth barrel of beer; Levy would probably be reading with Gajeel next to her looking completely bored, Erza would be eating her cake and Natsu and Gray would probably be fighting and she or Wendy would try breaking them apart only to fail... they'd ruin Erza's cake and then she'd beat the living shit out of both... That's how it should have been but it wasn't...

Fairy Tail was no longer standing, the guild building being completely destroyed by the bomb that Elfman was forced to bring in and Magnolia was destroyed and struggling to rebuild; honestly, it was a miracle that her apartment building was mostly untouched and that the landlady was uninjured. If that wasn't enough, Master Makarov had disbanded Fairy Tail about a week after their battle with Tartaros.

It had been absolutely devastating to her, she had cried so much these past weeks. Not only had she lost Aquarius to summon the Celestial Spirit King but then she had lost her guild mates, the people that she had considered family. All gone. After Master Makarov had made the announcement, many of her friends had left the following two weeks, to their next adventure or something, she didn't know.

Her closest friends had all left without even a goodbye; Erza had left a day or two after Master's announcement at the dead of night, Gray and Juvia were both already gone before Master even disbanded the guild and Natsu... Natsu... all Natsu left her was a letter saying that he was off to train for a year! More tears slipped down her cheeks as Lucy remembered how her heart broke after she read the letter, as she remembered running to his and Happy's house only to find it empty. That idiot! How could he just leave her?!

At least Wendy and Charle had said goodbye to her before leaving for Lamia Scale. Levy has asked if she wanted to come with her and Gajeel to find work but she had declined. She didn't want to leave Magnolia, maybe it had all been a horrible dream...

"Lucy." Finally, Lucy looked up with teary eyes to see a deeply concerned Loke kneeling in front of her. "Lucy, you have to stop this. You're running out of food, out of money... you have to take care of yourself."

"H-how?" Lucy finally choked out, looking up at one of her most trusted celestial spirits. "How am I supposed to move on? I have nowhere to go. I have no one now."

"You're wrong." Loke said firmly, "You still have us. We may be your spirits Lucy, but we're more than that. We're your friends, your family." He gave her a small smile. "I also have a message from Aquarius, she says, and I quote, "'Tell that stupid girl to stop moping and crying. It's unbecoming, it's no wonder that she doesn't have a boyfriend.'"

Lucy let out a small laugh for the first time in weeks. That did sound like Aquarius. "How is she? She's okay right? Breaking her key didn't do any damage?!" She asked anxiously.

Loke shook his head. "She's fine. Worried about you, even if she won't admit it."

"Lucy," Loke said again when there was a silence between them. His tone become serious as he looked at her.

"Hmm?"

"You know I care about you right?" Loke asked, making sure to meet her eyes. "And that I would do anything to keep you safe and healthy?"

"Of course I do Loke." Lucy answered, brows creasing in confusion. "Why are you asking?"

"Because you were dead to the world for weeks, I took matters into my own hands and reached out to someone I thought could help you." Loke said just as there was a knock on the door.

Lucy's gaze flew to the door before going back to Loke, accusation in her eyes. "Who did you contact? How'd you even do it without me noticing?!"

For his part, Loke looked slightly guilty. "I did it for your own good and who knows, maybe you'll thank me one day. Oh, and I did survive on my own magic for three years, it was easy to open my gate with my own power." He gave her a wink before jumping back into the spirit world, clearly meaning for Lucy to deal with her surprise visitor on her own.

There was another knock and Lucy sighed. Part of her didn't want to open the door but her manners won out. She gave herself a look in the mirror and cringed at how bad she looked; her hair was a crumpled mess, and here eyes were red from constant crying and there were also bags under her eyes, made more noticeable by the fact that her skin looked paler than usual. Oh, well... she no longer found the will to dress to impress anyways.

Lucy made her way slowly towards the door, opening it without much care. Really, Loke could have reached out to anyone but the person standing at her door with groceries in hand and warm, gentle, concerned eyes really shocked her.

"Yukino!"

Yukino POV

Two days earlier

Yukino had just gotten back from a long mission with Rufus and all she had wanted was a nice warm bath and to go to bed early when she reached her apartment; needless to say that plan went out the window when she found a certain lion spirit waiting for her in her apartment.

The first thought that entered her mind was how did he get into her apartment? The second was, did something happen to Lucy?!

"Loke-sama, what's wrong?! Is Lucy-sama okay?" Yukino asked worriedly. She had heard from Sting-Sama, Rogue and Minerva about Tartaros. She had heard about what happened to Aquarius and how Lucy-sama had to break her key to summon the Celestial Spirit King. Poor Lucy-sama... Yukino could never imagine breaking one of her keys. She had been meaning to go visit her, but she'd been stuck on extremely long missions lately.

"No, Yukino, she isn't. She hardly sleeps and eats. She stays in her apartment all day and does nothing. I assume you've heard what happened to Aquarius?" Loke inquired softly.

"Yes Loke-sama. I feel for Lucy-sama, I've been meaning to visit her but..." Yukino trailed off, not thinking that Loke needed to hear her excuses.

"That's why I'm here. You've heard what happened to Fairy Tail?" Loke asked.

Yukino's head shot up at that, eyes widening. "No, last I heard, Magnolia was being rebuilt and Fairy Tail was trying to heal its injured mages."

Loke nodded before sighing, "Word is spreading slower than I imagined, but then again, Magnolia is in no shape to gossip... Yukino, Fairy Tail disbanded a week after the fight with from Fairy Tail left, Lucy is the only one still in Magnolia. Gray, Erza... Natsu... they all left without a goodbye." Loke stated angrily.

"Disbanded?!" Yukino asked stunned. How had they not heard of this?! "And everyone just left?!"

Loke nodded, "I was a mage of Fairy Tail for three years, and even I'm shocked that they left so easily. But that's not why I came here. Lucy needs a friend Yukino, a true friend and your the only one I can think of that can relate to Lucy as a celestial spirit wizard. You may not have been in the same guild but you two were close. I need someone to help me get her back on her foot and moving again. A purpose. Do you think you can visit her?"

"Of course!" Yukino said without a second of hesitation. "Give me two days and I'll be in Magnolia."

Loke gave her a relieved smile, "Thank you, Yukino." He smiled, giving her a wink before vanishing back to the spirit world.

Once he was gone Yukino took a deep breath. She needed to get ready for her trip.

Lucy POV

"I see..." Lucy said slowly, listening to Yukino explain why she was there. "Loke asked you to help me."

"I'm sorry I didn't come sooner Lucy-sama." Yukino said, regret in her eyes. "I should have come the second I learned about Aquarius."

"There's no need to apologize!" Lucy waved her off, "You didn't know about the guild and you have your own life to live!"

"Even still..." Yukino trailed off, looking down. "How are you really Lucy-sama?"

"I..." Lucy considered lying to her fellow celestial spirit mage but quickly dismissed the thought. Yukino saw her appearance and the red eyes from crying, she wouldn't be fooled. "I feel lost. I don't know what to do, all my friends are gone..."

"Not all your friends, Lucy-sama." Yukino said, smiling gently at her. "i'm still here and I want to remind you that you still have your spirits. Aquarius too, even if you can't see her physically anymore, she'll always be with you spiritually and in your heart. After all, someone once told me that the people we love are never truly gone."

At that, Lucy felt the tears stream down her face again. It was so nice to have someone to talk to, someone who cared for her. "Yukino, thank you." She cried, tears freely streaming down her face.

"There's no need to thank me." Yukino said softly, eyeing her friend, her heart really was breaking for the blonde, she couldn't imagine how alone Lucy must have felt all this time.

"I-I'm sorry that you have to see me like this." Lucy sniffed, wiping at her eyes.

"You don't have to apologize, you comforted me after Sabertooth kicked me out during the grand magic games and we didn't even know each other then. We're friends Lucy-sama, I'm glad to help you." Yukino said before jumping to her feet and eyeing Lucy's appearance.

"Now go clean up." She ordered, nodding to Lucy's bedroom.

"Huh?" Lucy asked, blinking at Yukino through her tears in confusion.

"I'm getting you back on your feet. Go wash yourself up and I'll make us dinner while you do." Yukino said.

"You don't-" Lucy began only to be cut off by Yukino's glare. It was odd, seeing such a look on her face. "Okay, okay." Lucy finally mumbled getting up from her table to shower.

As she lay in her tub a few minutes later, letting the warm water relax her muscles, Lucy couldn't help but smile. Yukino showing up already made her feel better. Her fellow mage did understand her and somehow, Yukino was exactly what Lucy needed at that moment. Slowly, things were starting to look up.
