Dubz'nStuff- Hey all it's me again! I wasn't planning on updating until next week but it's late at night and this story is chewing on my brain begging to be let out also there were certain characters just begging to be added into the story, so without further ado I give you... Demon in the Dark!
(AN: I do not own Fairy Tail or any of it's characters if I did NaLu would have existed long ago! Also This means thoughts or memories)
The wind howled through the trees shaking the glass in it's panes. Natsu glanced up from the mug in front of him as the wide double doors of the guild once again opened. For a moment his spirits lifted as he saw, out of the corner of his eye, a flash of golden hair. Not a moment later and his soaring hopes were dashed back down to earth when he saw the face that was covered by those golden locks. Laxus.
Laxus sauntered in with a cocky grin plastered on his face. "What's a matter Natsu? You almost looked pleased to see me for a minute." Laxus drawled. "And where's that cat burglar friend of yours? I thought you two were inseparable." "Peh, every word you say pisses me off." Natsu growled. "Ooh looks like I hit a soft spot!" Laxus chuckled, "what did he finally realize what a loser you are and leave to find a stronger partner?" "He's just out." replied Natsu "Hmm I should have figured he wasn't smart enough to leave, besides if he really wanted a stronger partner he would have come to me! The strongest member of Fairy Tail!" Saying this Laxus once again broke out in laughter as Natsu silently fumed.
Laxus had to admit he was slightly confused why the little brat hadn't already launched himself off the stool and challenged him to a fight. Then something hit him, "ooh..." Laxus droned, "I know what the problem is, your little girlfriend isn't here to see you act all tough so you don't see the point is that it?" "BASTARD!" Screamed Natsu jumping out of his chair.
The entire guild went silent everyone staring at Natsu. Kana froze with a barrel of liquor halfway to her mouth, Loki stopped flirting with the two girls he had his arms around, Grey stopped in the middle of putting his pants back on, even Erza stopped harassing Grey long enough to take a look. All eyes went to Natsu and Laxus.
"Did I finally strike a chord?" Questioned Laxus. "I knew that you guys had issues, I mean who didn't, but did she finally get tired of you as well? Good for her. You know I always thought she was just an arrogant little bitch but for once she made the right choi-" Laxus's words were cut off as Natsu's flaming fist collided with his jaw and sent him flying across the room. Everyone looked at Natsu in surprise. It was common knowledge that he hated Laxus but it was abnormal for even Natsu to land a punch so easily.
"Hahahahahahahahah!" Laxus cackled from where he had been thrown, "hahahaha nice try runt but your gonna have to do better than that if you want to hurt me!" Laxus rose (somewhat gingerly) from the pile of rubble caused by his impact into the wall. "You really expect Lucy to stay by you when you can't even finish your opponents?" The words were thrown over his shoulder as he ascended the steps to the second level, "like I was saying I don't know what that bitch was thinking choosing you when she could have had the strongest man in Fairy Tail. She sure is some dumb blonde though i'll give you that much and shes got a great body to match her fiery temper. But you wouldn't know that, would you?"
Throughout the conversation flames had been burning around Natsu brighter and hotter. They got to the point where even Macao had to back away. At Laxus's last comment Natsu once again launched himself at Laxus only to be cut down as a giant fist descended from above. crushing both Natsu and his flames. "THATS ENOUGH!" Boomed Makarov.
The entire guild jumped. No one had noticed the master watching from above, except Mirajane of course. She looked up at the master happily "Good evening master!" "Hhmph..." the master replied still watching Natsu and Laxus "Laxus once again you have gone too far. Now go before I decide to let Natsu go!" Laxus looked as if he might argue but then he simply left without another word. Makarov released his hold on Natsu and Natsu immediately took off out the doors. Makarov knew where he was heading but he also knew that what Natsu was looking for wouldn't be there.
As Natsu left Makarov glanced curiously at the small burn on the palm of his hand. "That boy gets stronger every day but if he can't keep his emotions in check we will all be in trouble..."
Natsu sprinted through the streets towards the one place he felt comfortable, where he felt safe, Lucy's house.
"Naatsuu!" came a cry from high above. Natsu paused in his wild sprint to look up. High above him circled a blue cat with wings. Happy came flying down and landed on Natsu's head. "She's not in the clearing." Happy reported. "Thanks Happy, I'm just going to check her house now." Natsu replied. Although Natsu sounded fine Happy knew that look. "She's not still in the clearing which means she must have gone home already right?"Natsu thought.
As the light drizzle began to turn into a full out downpour Natsu reached Lucy's house. He decided to try and start off on a good note so instead of just climbing in through a window like he normally would Natsu knocked on the door. He waited, and waited, and waited. After five minutes he decided to go to the window to check if maybe she was sleeping. The window was open.
Shadows danced on the floor as lightning crackled above. Lucy's quaint, cozy house seemed oddly... sinister. Natsu stepped through the open window cautiously. "Lucy never leaves her window open, especially not when she's mad. But where is she? I can't smell her anywhere. It's as if she hasn't been home all day. But what - wait a second what is that smell? Natsu's keen nose had detected a strange scent originating from the desk where Lucy kept her story "hidden". Natsu ventured further into the room and towards the source of the smell. There on her desk was a note written in sharp, choppy handwriting.
As Natsu finished reading the note the piece of paper fluttered from his suddenly limp hand to the ground.
LUCY:
Lucy slowly began to open her eyes only to shut them once more. The light above her was too bright, it was blinding. "What happened, where am I, wheres Natsu?" Suddenly memories flashed through her head like lightning and Lucy began to cry.
Lucy: Why am I alone, Why am I crying, WHERES NATSU!
Dubz'nStuff: Be patient Lucy and trust me it might be better that you are alone.
Natsu: What the hell was written in that note!
Dubz'nStuff: How should I know your the one who read it!
AN: Another cliffie! Muahaha i'm so evil. I know Lucy wasn't really in this chapter but there was a reason this happened and you will have to wait to find out!
