Love Kills, So Do I

Blonde Is Destruction (Part 2)

Lucy's POV

"That's just how I say thank you."

"Ha! Okay" He laughs.

"Well I need to get all of my stuff to my new room, I guess."

"I'll help. I wanna see what room the pretty girl lives in." He smirks and I can practically feel tic marks forming on my forehead. I try to have a little self control and not kill him, but I guess there's a law that you can't kill people for just irritating you? Although I am a mercenary and I could probably get away with it. Plus he is also an assassin who has killed a lot of people so his death is possibly  overdue and he might deserve to die. "Do you want to get hit? Because I have two fists that can happily oblige."

"My face awaits those fists."

"Who said I was going to hit your face. I was planning somewhere . . . a lot . . . more . . . sensitive." The last of my words are deadly and serious. I am not being flirty. Not in a million years. I crack my knuckles. "Okay, how about I close my eyes then?" He says after gulping visibly. I roll my eyes. "Whatever. Just hurry up, I'm tired. I feel like I've been talking to you for a whole week."

"Alright, let's go." He says.

Natsu's POV

Man am I hungry. I make my way to the kitchen to grab some food. I usually have to be sneaky about it because Jellal says we have to be mindful of others because they have to eat too. Ah whatever there is always enough for them, even after I eat half of the food. I make it to the kitchen without anyone noticing. I go all the way to the back and see what they got now. I heard that because of all of the mercenary's moving in they got new and more food so this is pretty exciting.

I open the metal doors to the frozen meats and when I do I can practically start to hear angels singing. They have the most delicious looking meat. Steak, steak, and even more steak but there is also a very wide variety of meat. Pork, beef, lamb and mutton and even some duck and I think that's even goose and venison. What I wouldn't give to have all this to myself.

I don't notice someone else in the room until they start to speak up and it almost scares all the hunger out of me. "Would you like me to make something for you?" I turn to see a white haired woman wearing a pink dress and smiling at me.

"WHA- ah- Um- Im sorry! I WAS JUST LOOKING I SWEAR! DON'T TELL JELLAL PLEASE!" I get on my knees and beg. If Jellal finds out it's gonna be my meat hanging up on those hooks. "Well If you keep yelling like that he will most surely hear you wouldn't he?" She giggles.

"Wait, your not mad?" I ask getting up

"I just offered to make you something silly, why would I be mad?" She laughs again. "My name is Mira-Jane by the way. And you must be Natsu."

"Uh-yeah. How did you know?" I'm starting to getting suspicious. She definitely wasn't here before. She must be with the mercenary's. Although she looks familiar, almost like someone I know, someone who is very persistent.

"Well someone warned me that there is always a certain pink haired boy that likes to eat all of the food in the kitchen whenever he gets the chance." She laughs again. "You must be wondering why I am here. Well I am now working this kitchen and this is now my space. So if I catch you in here again without my permission then surely you will be severely punished by my own hands." I shiver at her words. Even though she is smiling, that look in her eyes is like staring at the devil. She looks terrifying!

"Aye! Sorry ma'am!" I bow down again.

"Good. Now would you like me to make you something as a hello gift?" she smiles again, but this time it looks genuine.
