~Magnolia's Number One Assassin~ (Fairy Tail)

Chapter 45: Goodbye, SaberTooth

Goodbye, SaberTooth

After my Guild Mates had stopped arguing long enough to actually figure out where we were going, we headed out. Sting and I were both supporting Natsu's weight. I still didn't now how I felt about our SaberTooth friends but at least I didn't have an urge to kill them. So I suppose that meant that they were okay in my book.

Another three hours of walking and yelling at one another passed by and we finally arrived at the village. Natsu still hadn't woken up but at least Levy had. She still looked a little weak but at least she was walking.

I sat down heavily on a bench to wait for the train to arrive. Sting sat Natsu on the bench as well and he also took a seat. Rouge was leaning against a wall talking to Fro. Lector hopped up on the bench with us and quickly fell asleep next to Sting.

Cute, I thought sleepily. Before long the train arrived and we all piled in. Just as we took our seats Natsu began to stir slightly.

"Oh no!" I said as he slowly blinked open his eyes.

"He just had to wake up at this moment." Gray said, irritated.

"He has the worst timing, I swear." Lucy said.

"Aye..." Happy put in.

"Want me to punch em?" Gajeel supplied a bit too happily as he raised his fist.

"I can help, too!" Erza said with a smile as, she too, raised her fist.

Sting laughed as Lector shook his head. Rogue just watched us as Fro curled up in the Shadow Dragon Slayer's lap. "Poor, Natsu-San." Sting laughed out as Lector nodded in agreement.

"Umm, maybe we can be more gently." Wendy said softly as Levy nodded while sweat dropping.

I watched as he opened his eyes to half mast, saw me, sighed, and relaxed his body again. He put his head on my shoulder and leaned into me. I couldn't help the small smile that came to my lips. Once everyone exhaled in relief that he wasn't waking up they started to talk to each other.

I let out a breath as my eyelids started to become heavy. I leaned my head closer to Natsu's and stopped when our heads touched. I yawned and after a moment I fell asleep.
*****
I was awakened to the sound of the train's squealing brakes. I opened my eyes and looked around me. Most of my friends were asleep, the only person who wasn't was Erza, she was looking out the window, so she didn't notice me.

I blinked to clear my eyesight and looked over to where Levy sat. A smile instantly came to my lips. Unknowingly, Levy was leaning up against Gajeel's side, and she was fast asleep. Gajeel had his arms crossed with his head tilted back against the train's seat. He was also fast asleep. Pantherlily, who was snuggled up in Levy's arms, also had his eyes closed.

I chuckled softly at the three of them. If I could, I would take a picture, and most likely show it to everyone at the Guild. Especially to the three of them.

I sighed tiredly and tried to stretch but something stopped me.
I looked over and I could feel my cheeks turning a light shade of red.

Natsu face was turned toward mine and somehow I had wrapped my arms around him. I quickly removed my hands just as Erza announced to everyone that we had arrived. Everyone groaned and got up from their seats slowly. I turned back to Natsu and poked him on the cheek.

"Natsu, wake up, we're home." He didn't wake up. "Try this." Happy said from his place beside Natsu. He tilted his head up and yelled, "Fish!" I looked at Happy and shook my head, "No, Happy, just no."

"That works for me." He said with a shrug. I rolled my eyes as everyone got off the train. "Hurry up, Fey-chan!" Levy said with a wave as she hopped off the train with Gajeel and Pantherlily right behind her. "This is harder than it looks." I muttered as I shook him.
