Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait, but I've had some personal issues and I couldn't find the time to update. I'm so sorry for the long wait, but hopefully you all will forgive me! Also, did anyone watch the Fairy Tail OVA 5? It's hilarious, too bad there wasn't any NaLu in it. :( Speaking of NaLu, I'm making this story a NaLu vs StiCy. well, enjoy the chapter! Nya!~
Lucy's P.o.v
Struggling to fit my hat over my cat ears, I sighed for the millionth time. Each time I tried to stretch my hat on my head, my cat ears would bulge out, and make the hat come off my head! I growled in frustration, and I suddenly snapped my fingers in sudden realization. I can use my requip magic to form a cloak!
Glancing around, I dived into a local shop, and I was greeted by the woman behind the counter. She glanced at my cat ears questioningly, but she shrugged it off. Fiore is a weird place, cat ears can't stand out that much, right? I walked into the ladies' bathroom, and I looked around, and checked under each stall, and luckily the bathroom was unoccupied.
Closing my eyes, I began to think of my requip magic. "Requip!" I spoke, and black magical circles formed over my feet. My magic slowly consumed my body, and I requipped into a sleeveless crop top that was colored black, and the top matched my black, silk choker that had a bell attached. I then requipped into a pair of dark denim jean shorts, and black combat boots. My outfit was simple, but not complete. For the last touch, I requipped a matching black cloak, and I smirked as I slipped the cloak over my body.
I tucked my long hair in the back of the cloak so the guild wouldn't notice my new length, and I stared at my reflection. You could see my golden cat-like eyes gleaming, so I pulled down the cloak in attempt to cover them. My cat ears remained perfectly hidden in my cloak, and I curled my cat tail into my shorts. I smiled in triumph, and I walked out of the bathroom, only to see something.. So wonderful!
I raced to the counter, drool practically hanging from my mouth, and I grinned excitedly at the woman. I slipped down the hood of my cloak so she wouldn't assume I was a thief, and I quickly looked at the menu at none other than.. Fish! I don't know why, but it smells so good, it's mouth-watering! I can really sympathize with Happy now, for his constant want of fish! Maybe I should buy Happy, Charle, and Pantherlilly some as well?
"Hello Ma'am! Are you interested in buying some fish?" The woman asked with a kind tone in her voice.
"Yes! May I have some Spanish Mackerel? Oh, and four of them please, nya!" I requested, but my hands slammed over my mouth at my last word. Nya? Did I really just meow? I blushed in embarrassment, and I glanced up to see her giggling softly at me.
"Of course Dear. Don, get four Spanish Mackerel!" She yelled to the worker in the back of the shop, and he nodded and went to go fetch the fish.
She looked at me, and studied my cat ears for a bit until she finally spoke, "Are those real?" She asked curiously, and I nodded slowly. Should I tell her? I don't see the harm..
"Yeah, I'm a cat demon." I said, smiling a bit, and she reached out and pet my ears. She stroked them softly, with a small smile lit on her lips. Surprisingly, she didn't even question me on what a cat demon even is.
"Wow they're really soft," She commented, and I smiled in return. The worker came out with the fish, and he handed it to the woman. She put the fish on a scale, and she calculated the price.
"That will be 40 jewels." (I guesstimated, I have no idea how much that would be..)
I grabbed the fish, and I handed over the correct amount of jewels. "Thank you, come again!" The woman smiled, and I nodded eagerly.
"I will, thank you Ma'am!" I replied, and I pulled my cloak hood over my head again before exiting. Walking through the crowds of people, I decided to cook the fish myself. It can't be that hard, right?
I placed my hand over the bag, and my hand lit on fire, cooking the fish. I turned my fire into blue fire to speed the process up, and before the fish caught on fire, I extinguished the flame in my hand. I glanced at the fish, and I smiled in triumph. Cooking would be so easy now!
Stretching my arms up, I extended my claws from my finger tips, and I stretched every aching claw. I opened my mouth, and I let out a lengthy, lazy yawn and I used my super speed to reach the guild quickly. I was running easily over the hard pavement, my boots making loud noises each time my foot took a step. I jumped into the air, and I did a front flip, and I landed on a roof perfectly on all fours. Cats always land on their feet, I was no exception.
I dashed from rooftop to rooftop, and thankfully, Fairy Tail was just around the corner! I hopped down from the roof, and I adjusted my cloak, making sure my cat eats, tail, hair, and eyes weren't visible. I grabbed the handle shakily, and I opened the doors.. This is it.. There's no backing down!
"H-Hey minna!" I greeted, and the guild went silent, and stared at me. Loud murmurs went throughout the guild, and I chuckled silently realizing that they didn't recognize me due to my cloak hiding my appearance.
I adjusted my hand, and I made sure my pink, Fairy Tail insignia was visible to everyone.
Natsu hopped down from the table, and he raced over to me, and tackled me to the floor. My back made a harsh impact to the floor, and I winced in slight pain, and I glared at the dragon slayer. He stared into my golden eyes, but he didn't dare yank down my hood, thankfully.
"Lucy?" He questioned, and I nodded, with a sigh.
I shoved him off of me, accidentally using too much strength, and he slammed into the table. The table managed to slam into Gray, who then was engulfed with an aura of hatred. "Yo Flame Brain, watch it!" Gray yelled, an angry vein present on his forehead, and Natsu grit his teeth with anger.
"Shaddup you damn Stripper!" Natsu yelled, and they started brawling in the middle of the guild. The rest of the guild sweat dropped, but they slowly joined into the brawl. I smiled at the giant fight, and I made my way to the bar to visit Mira-San, and Levy-Chan. I sat down at my favorite seat, and Levy-Chan sat next to me, with a giant book wrapped in her petite arms.
"Hey Lu-Chan! What's up with cloak?" Levy asked with curiosity. Mirajane then joined in, and nodded along with Levy.
"I have a cold," I lied, then I fake coughed. "I wore a cloak to prevent me getting more germs," I said, and they both nodded.
"Would you like something to drink?" Mirajane asked, and I nodded eagerly.
"Milk!" I exclaimed, and Mira-San looked at me oddly, but she suddenly brushed it off. I usually get a vanilla milkshake, but a nice milk sounds good to me now.
I turned to face Wendy whom was on my other side, and luckily the three exceeds accompanied her. "Hey Happy, Charle, Pantherlily, I bought you all some fish!" I said, and I swear Happy's eyes grew the size of watermelons!
"F-Fish! Lucy, you're the best!" Happy wailed happy tears rolling comically from his eyes. I smiled in return and I got the cooked Spanish Mackerel out of the plastic bag, and I handed each exceed some fish. I smiled softly, watching them eat the fish, and Charle looked at me oddly. Charle probably knows I'm a cat demon, with her power to see the future.. Hopefully, she'll keep this vision to herself.
"Thank you, for the delicious fish." Pantherlily thanked formally, and I smiled in return.
"It's no problem, I was buying some fish, and I'd thought some fellow cats would like some too, nya!" I said, and to my horror Happy, and Pantherlily looked at me oddly. Charle didn't seem too shocked, and thank the Heavens, nobody else heard me!
The two male exceeds brushed it off, because they were too consumed in their own meal to question me. I turned back to the face the front of the bar, and I took my fish out of the bag, and I ate it greedily. I then grabbed my milk, and chugged it down so fast, it would put Natsu to shame! I slammed the glass back down, and I heard Levy's voice call to me.
I turned to face the bluenette, and I realized she plopped down a giant book, and much to my dismay.. The title read "Demons A-Z" Why would Levy-Chan have this kind of book?
"O-Oh, what's this?" I asked, with a nervous stutter. My cat ears twitched anxiously, and I twirled my fingers together in anticipation.
"I found this book with Gajeel-Kun at the library! I've tried to decipher it all day, but the language is unknown." Levy sighed with defeat.
"May I see?" I asked, and Levy nodded with approval. I grabbed the large, dusty book and I glanced inside. Oddly enough, I knew the language? Was this something to do with being a cat demon? Maybe the language was something all demons just knew.. That's the only logical reason I can understand everything.
"Lu-Chan?" Levy asked, and I snapped my attention back to her, "You looked spaced out.. Did you recognize the language?" Levy asked.
I don't want to lie to my best friend! But... I have too.. It's for the best..
"Nope, not at all," I lied, my heart clenching with each word. It hurts lying to my nakama, but I'll tell them when I'm ready.
"Oh," Levy said dejectedly. I swallowed nervously with guilt, but I shook the feeling off.
"So.. Can you believe we have the Daimatou Enbu in just three months?" Levy-Chan asked, and I shook my head with vigor.
"Not at all! I have to train!" I said, pumping a fist in the air, and Levy-Chan giggled at my antics. "In fact, I have to speak to Master.. I think I'm going to leave the guild for three months to train.." I said.
"Lu-Chan! Why can't you just stay in Fairy Tail and train?" Levy asked, and I avoided eye contact with the bookworm.
"I just.. I would rather train alone," I said, and Levy then looked at me with determination gleaming in her hazel colored eyes.
"Then... I'll come with you!" Levy exclaimed, and I shrugged.
"Sure.. It'll be fun!" I said, and we got up from our seats to head to Master Makarov's office. I knocked hesitantly on the door, and my sensitive ears heard a faint, "Come in,"
I opened the door with a loud creak, and I held it open for Levy to walk in. I closed the door quietly, and we sat on two chairs, that were placed in the room. We stared quietly at Master, until finally I broke the awkward silence.
"Master... Levy-Chan, and I want to leave Fairy Tail for three months to train.. Is that alright?" I asked, and Master sniffled a bit, with tears running down his face.
"My children!" He wailed, and we giggled a bit at his silly antics. He pulled himself together, and nodded. "Of course! But remember to come back of course!" Master said, and he held his hands over our guild mark insignia. A bright light emitted from his hands, and my pink Fairy Tail mark that I had treasured for so long, was gone. But only temporarily.
"Thanks Master!" Levy said, and we headed outside nervously. I made sure to hide my hand so nobody would notice my missing insignia, and we quietly ran out of the guild doors.
"Time to pack!" Levy exclaimed excitedly, and I nodded along with her. "Yeah!"
Hope you liked chapter two! Leave a review if you would like, and have supercalafragilisticexpialidocious day/night! Nya~
