New Era: Save You

No...More...Transportation

"Okay, I expect Team Natsu will come." Jellal smiled. "Let's g-"

"Wait."

Jellal halted and Rio turned his head at Natsu. His face is serious. Looking at his face makes Rio's heart ache. Is he that desperate to save her?

"What is it, Natsu?" Ultear asked. They are now on the way from Fairy Tail to their destination. it's just 5 minutes walk. "Do we must take a ride to go to this place?" Rio banged his head on the wall nearby. Feels like an idiot to think such in a deep way to read Natsu's face. Meredy looked at this and now pulling himself away from the bloody wall. Really, does he even have a feeling to help Lucy? Rio looks at Natsu's pale face as he talking to jellal about transportation. If he, if it is Rio who was always besides her, he wouldn't do such a mistake. He wouldn't let her die. If the one who always by her side is him, not Natsu... How can his life be more-
"Rio?" Meredy's calling made his consciousness back to the reality.

"Oh, um...sorry." he smiled bitterly at her and walk to Jellal.
"Unfortunately we have to take a ship from here to go there so you must bear it, dragon slayer."
"Wha-！are you serious...?" Natsu slowly falling down and was ready to puke there.
"Hurry up before we late to take a ride, idiot." Gray kicked Natsu's butt and walked ahead with everyone, leaving Natsu alone.

"Natsu, let's go." Happy poked his head and then appearing his wings. "O, okay. For Luce, this kind of..." he walk wobbly and then covers his mouth again.
"Oh, my." Happy just shrugged while moving his head to the sides after looking at Natsu's pathetic side.

Flash back

"Live for Death. Death for Live！！" deep in the darkness, you can hear the roars of something, repeating the same words. If you can hear their voices, you can feel that the air is wavering by their voice. If you try to peek at what are they doing, there's no turn around. If you open the door, you will never going out from that place." Lucy stopped her writing and now stretching her body on the chair.

"You sometimes write something creepy like this too, eh, Luce." Her move stopped as she heard someone from her side. No, no,
"Nooooo!!" She screamed and kicked Natsu while hugging her writing with her red face.

"Natsu!!" Happy flies by his side and Natsu stood up. "What are you doing, Lushe!!"
"I am the one who should ask you two!!" She cried.
"Well, we just got a big fish so we thought we want to share with you."
"Aye!" Happy gives Lucy the bones and a little cold meat.
"Le, LEAVE NOW!!" She kicked them both out from her house and locked the door and the windows.

She turned around and sit on her bed. Kokuri jumped on her lap and meowing, wanting to be touched. Lucy smiled and tickling its ear. With a little thought in her head, she turned her head to her desk and looks at her writing. "Live for Death and Death for Live, huh. Words that had been ringing in my head recently. What is it, huh?" She took a bath after that and go to sleep.
