The Relic Wizard

Chapter Six - Ryuu's Determination

"Ah..." Ryuu yawned waking up with his head in the sink, "Eww... Seriously? Shit!"
He got out and went to his dorm, finding a t-shirt with the Japanese character of 'Dragon' on the front and jeans.
"What are these things?" He asked himself as he picked them up.
He held the short to his torso.
"Oh... I see... This goes on instead of my old ripped shirt..." He said.
He put the shirt on and looked at himself in the mirror.
"Eww... I look so dirty... I'd best take a shower... Let's take these and go into the bathroom..." He said to himself, taking of the shirt and grabbing the pants and a towel.
Ryuu went into the bathroom in his dorm and took a shower, he then felt the sudden urge to do something he'd never done before.
"Uh... Why do I feel like speaking sounds?" He said to himself as the water ran down his body.
He stood for a second and then started to sing.
"And I... Will always love youuuuuu-" he cut himself off by covering his mouth.
What the hell!?! What's happening? I don't get it! I keep yelling out wierd sounds! Ryuu thought to himself.
Then he heard laughing coming from his door.
"Hahaha! You totally sing like a chick!" Yelled a familiar voice from outside the bathroom door.
"Hey! Who did that? And what even was I doing?" He asked himself.
"Singing... Like a chick..." Said the voice.
He realized it was Natsu's voice.
"What's 'singing' Natsu?" Ryuu asked curiously.
"Seriously? You don't know what singing is? It's hard to explain but I just used a singing spell on you and you sing like a girl!" He said, then laughing even harder.
"Yeah okay you keep talking like that and no girls will like you! Are you saying girls sing badly? Can you sing any better?" Ryuu asked, trying to show off.
"Huh? Will to get girls? Wanna bet?" Natsu argued.
"Nah it'd be a waste of my time... I mean... With pink hair there's no use..." He replied.
"What did you say? PINK HAIR IS MANLY YOU DRAGON FREAK!!!" He yelled.
"Slay me then!" Ryuu said furiously, "Oh mighty dragon slayer!"
"Sure if you get your girly ass out of the shower then I will!" Natsu yelled.
Suddenly the shower turned off.
"What did you say..?" Ryuu asked.
"Yeah you heard me..." Natsu replied.
Ryuu suddenly got into his new clothes and opened the door. The look on his face was priceless in Natsu's eyes.
"Pfft! Hahahaha! You think you could beat me?!? Bring it on dragon fre-" Natsu was cut off.
Ryuu's fist slammed right into Natsu's face at full speed.
"I really shouldn't waste my magic energy on a wimp like you... So I'll just use my fists..." Ryuu said, clearly as furious as possible.
"Cheap shot..." Natsu said, getting up.
"This is what you get..." Ryuu said, then looking up at Natsu, "I'm going to kick your ass for insulting women! You should know better than that you prick!"
Ryuu ran up to Natsu and started throwing punches at crazy speeds.
"Ahhh!!!" Ryuu yelled as he threw countless punches.
Natsu was a good blocker but he started to slow down after a while and then started to take punches.
What's happening? He isn't even slowing down... Natsu thought to himself as he took hits to the face.
"And this... Is for calling me dragon freak!" Ryuu yelled in hatred, kicking Natsu in the face, sending him flying into the door.
The door swung open as Natsu flew out.
"Adios 'salamander'!" Ryuu said.
Then Ryuu fell down and felt himself click back to his senses.
"What the heck? Okay... I was mad but that was harsh..." He said.
"What the hell?" Natsu asked, getting up.
"Sorry... I went all psycho... Didn't I?" Ryuu asked.
"Yeah..." He replied.
"Sorry... It happens when I get angry... I have serious anger management issues... I call it my insane determination to cover that up..." Ryuu explained.
"Well you were determined... But you were determined to kick my ass..." He said, "And it worked..."
"I'll get you to Mirajane..." Ryuu offered.
"No... That will make the pain worse... Just help me up..." He said.
"Uh... Okay then..." Ryuu replied, helping Natsu up.
"You did well... I'm pretty impressed... But you're still weaker than me... A lot weaker... I just was nice enough not to hit you..." He said.
"Yeah okay then... You keep encouraging yourself..." Ryuu said in sarcasm.
"Shut up!" Natsu yelled.
"Okay then..." Ryuu said, again in sarcasm.
"Why you!" Natsu yelled.
(And then...)
"Hey guys!" Ryuu said, greeting Erza and Mirajane who sat at a table alone.
"Ugh..." Mirajane grunted.
"Uh... No..." Erza replied awkwardly.
"I thought we were forgetting about yesterday so... I'll leave then... Bye I guess..." Ryuu said sadly.
"Whatever..." Mirajane replied angrily.
Ryuu walked over to a table which had Lucy and a girl with blue hair.
"Eww..." Lucy said as she saw him.
"You too..?" Ryuu said, starting to get even more sad then before.
"Well yeah you're such a perv!" The other girl said.
"Do I... *whimper* Know you..?" Ryuu asked, getting tears in his eyes, "And if you're going to hit me or slap me, do it now cause I'm already sad about Lucy, Erza and Mirajane hating me... I mean... It wasn't even my fault..."
"Huh? Oh gosh... You thought that made us angry? We're angry because you still have the lipstick on you're face!" Lucy said angrily.
"Wha? I'm sure I got it off last night!" He said.
"Hahaha!" Natsu laughed from far away.
"What did you do?!? Huh, Fire face!?!" Ryuu asked furiously.
"I drew lipstick on you while you were sleeping!" He laughed.
"Why you..." Ryuu said angrily.
"Hahaha!" Natsu laughed.
The look on Lucy and the other girl's face lightened up to hear it was a prank.
"I'm going to kill you for that! I didn't even get time to wash my face in the shower because of you!" He yelled.
"How would everyone see you if you washed it off doofus?" Natsu asked.
"LAUGH AT THIS!" Ryuu yelled as he punched Natsu in the face.
Everyone in the room gasped at the sight. Then Natsu got up and started to laugh. Ryuu joined him.
"What the heck?" The girl asked herself.
"Don't worry Juvia... Boys are stupid... You'll soon understand..." Lucy replied.
