The Dragon's Light

INJURED

"Natsu!" Lucy's voice was heard from not afar. Turning around, Natsu saw his two friends rush towards him. "Stay back and go away!!" he yelled. "Sorry mister, I don't take orders from a guy who needs help" Lucy grins, letting go of Happy.

"I said-". "Open, Gate Of The Golden Bull : Taurus!" she interrupted, him left gritting his teeth in annoyance. "Fire Dragon's Rooarr!!!"

"Boys, get rid of the cat and the girl! I shall personally persuade mr. Salamander myself" the leader of the gang snickered. "I told you.... Over my goddamn dead boodyy!!!!" he pounced on the man with bloodlust aura.

"Natsu!!!" as she was about to run after her friend, the men immediately appeared in her line of sight. "Open, Gate Of The Maiden : Virgo!!" she summoned.

"Virgo, Taurus! Beat their asses right this instant!!" she ordered. "Righto!!! For my beloved Lucy, I shall!!!". "Yes, princess". Lucy sighed. "Yes yes, now please just get on with it already".

"Spare... me" she heard a faint crying voice. Turning left, was what left her tremble for a second. Blood on his friend's hands. "Natsu!!" Lucy ran towards him, only for her arm to be injured.

"Luce?" he muttered, his celestial friend falling on the ground right before his eyes. "Luce??" he dropped the unconscious man in his hands to the ground full of blood.

"Get him!!"

"Bas..tards...." he glared, piercing through every man in the gang. "You hurt her... hurt her!!" he glared, repeatedly punching his enemy with his hands of fire.

"Natsu... That's enough..." he heard her faint voice. Turning around, he saw her helping herself sit up the ground. "That's enough... You don't... have to kill them..." she grunts.

In an instant, she felt pairs of hands grabbing her shoulders tightly. "You idiot!! You could have been killed back there!!! Why are you so careless!!!" he shouted, glaring at her stunning brown eyes.

"What... What do you mean I was careless!! I was so worried about you and this is how you treat me!?" she counter attacked. "What worried!! Your arm is bleeding and you say worried?!" he glared.

"That's right! I thought you were bleeding so badly as you were bathed in blood you idiot!!" she growled. "Shut up!!! This wouldn't have happened if you just listened to me and ran away!! Look how Happy listened!!" he pants, Lucy looking around to see no Happy in sight.

"I told you I don't leave my friend who's in dang-". "I'm a mage!! I can protect myself and I am NOT weak to be in danger!!!!" he huffs, tightening his grip.

"Did I ever say you were weak!!? I didn't you knucklehead!!!" she struggles. "If you HAD just listened to me back there you wouldn't have injured!!!!" he glared.

"Being injured is fine you brainless maniac!!!" she yells, finally breaking free of his strong grip on her shoulders.

Silence followed afterwards, the duo panting due to their squabble. Finally calming down, the duo looked away from each other, furious.
