My past can't change me (Laxus love story)

No....

(A/N- I cried while writing this chapter ;-; I'm sorry)

~3rd person POV~

Laxus blocked for the fourth time already, this time taking in the lightning that was shot at him. For the past few minutes the fight that went on was completely one-sided. Tsuki shot at Natsumi multiple times, hitting her every now and then, but for the most part missing on purpose. Neither of them wanted to fight her, but they knew they had to.

---Natsumi watched as her alternate ego fought and injured the two important people in her heart. Tears streamed down her cheeks as Laxus was knocked off balance, blood now streaming down his arm.

"Time to end this!"

The black-haired version of Natsumi laughed evilly as her swords once again formed within her hands. They floated before shooting towards the blonde who had no time to react.

'No!!!'---

Laxus held up his arm in an attempt to block the swords that were hurdling towards him, but nothing came. He looked up to see the swords had stopped in mid-air. Natsumi was shaking on the ground, her hair and eyes flashing between the light and dark versions.

"Run..." She spoke, only it had a softer tone. "Before its...too late..."

Laxus stood and cringed as he held onto him wounded arm. He looked around to see that the guild had made no visible progress in fighting Astrazel. But he had made physical progress on them.

A dark laugh resounded behind Laxus and he quickly side-stepped in an attempt to dodge an attack he was coming. A sword grazed his side, giving him a new soon-to-be scar.

"That was a close one Blondy," Natsumi said. "I almost gave a shit."

Grinning evilly, she ran up and swung her swords straight for his neck.

Nothing.

Natsumi's eyes went wide as Tsuki toppled over onto the ground, both swords piercing his chest. The wolf howled, shooting a beam of magic at Natsumi. Laxus stared in shock at the dying wolf, unable to react.

Laxus clenched his fist before turned back to the imposter. He approached Natsumi's demon side, who was knocked to the ground by Tsuki's attack. Before she could move, he grabbed her by the arm and pinned her to a tree.

"Listen to me," he growled in a menacing tone. "You're about to do something you'll regret for the rest of your life. Tsukino will DIE if you stay like this."

Natsumi's struggle to escape his grip died down as her eyes went wide at his next choice of words.

"I love you Natsumi, and I'm not going to let you kill anyone else."

Astrazel's left eye twitched as he felt his grip over the females conscious start to slip. "Natsumi! Don't listen to him! He's just like everyone else in your past," he yelled.

Natsu landed a punch on him square in the face. "Laxus you better do something quick!!"

"My...past..." Natsumi mumbled. Her features were going whack- switching between her original form to her demon one. "You...you're just like the rest of them. You'll lure me into your trap of trust, then stab me in the back."

The female began to struggle once again. Laxus knew he had to something or he'd never get this chance again.

"I'm not the past Natsumi! I'm the present, and I can be the future if you let me! I know you're in there and I know you can break free from this!"

Natsumi's features began to change drastically. One eye was red, the other one yellow. Her hair was silver and changed black as it got closer to the bottom. Her gaze then fell, letting her body fall limp. Laxus caught her before she could fall and helped keep her up.

"D-did I really..." She spoke. "Please tell me he isn't dead. Please, he can't be..."

The female stumbled out of Laxus' arms and made her way to Tsuki. To her surprise, he was still conscious and breathing.

"Natsumi..." He smiled. "I'm glad...this wasn't in vain..."

"Tsuki! P-please let this work," she screamed through her tears while frantically trying to heal the dying wolf. "W-why isn't it working..! Tsukino!"

Tsuki smiled one last time at Natsumi before closing his eyes. Natsumi stared in shock as the tears kept streaming down her cheeks.

"N-no...Tsuki..."

He was gone. And part of Natsumi's heart left with him.

~May the Triforce be with you~
