"It's been 4 years Natsu. If Lucy wanted to be found, we would have found her by now. We should give up." Happy huffs, as he flies to keep up.

I stop dead in my tracks. "Happy!" I say irritated. I take a deep breath. "You know I can't do that. If I give up now, I just wouldn't be me. You of all should know this." I say calmly, but clenching my fists.

FLASH BACK

========================

The second I punched down the guild doors and set off on my journey to find and bring Lucy back. In all my rage I can hear a voice shouting and running towards me with purpose. My body was still engulfed by my flames. My heart pounding, as what felt like 2000mph.

"Natsu! Stop!" It was Ezra running out in front of me.

"Get out of my way Erza." I grimace. Ignoring Erza, still walking, focusing on the path ahead.

Suddenly Erza cups my face in her hands, stopping me, and bringing my gaze to focus on her, looking me dead in the eyes. That was when I notice the tears trailing down her face. Which immediately extinguishes my flames. "I know you want to find Lucy. But Master is right, you left her Natsu." Erza yells, trying to make me see sense.

I sigh.  "Erza I know. I was the one that broke up with her. But I had my reason for doing it." I try to explain, without giving much away. "Maybe Lucy had a reason as well. I don't like it, but I understand why she did." Erza trying to hold in her tears.

Suddenly I get a strange inkling like Erza knows more then she was letting on. Which is a shock to me, considering, I'm rather slow at picking up on things like this. I remove Erza's hands from my face, as right now, she has my full attention.

I lean in close, causing Erza to shuffle back a tad. "Why does it feel like you know why Lucy left the guild." I stared at Erza. But she quickly diverted her eyes from mine. "Why did she leave Erza!" I demand. My flames, urging to flare up again.

"Please Natsu just leave Lucy be" She begs. "Not until you tell me" I say getting frustrated.

I know Erza and she has a strong sense of responsibility, but she also can't keep a secret.

"What about Lisanna? Aren't you in love with her?" Erza finds a way to derail the conversation. "What does Lisanna have to do with this?" I say confused.

"Natsu" Happy whispers.

"Everything" Erza fires back.

"You left Lucy for Lisanna, now your leaving Lisanna to look for Lucy. How do you think Lisanna will feel and what about Lucy? You're just going to bring Lucy back, but parade around in front of her with Lisanna. Stop being selfish Natsu!" Erza shouting, making me take a second to think about how this will affect the both of them.
