Hazy Memories

Its been about two weeks sense Lucy, Ryuu, and Dray have left Grans continuing there journey to find the village where she was from to see if the clue that her friend had found was still there.

As the were walk Lucy was in her own little world think about what Gran had said about the magic that was now inside her. She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard her being called. Lucy shifted her head towards the direction were she heard her name being called and she saw Ryuu giving her a worried look as he said" Are you alright? you have been out of it for quite a while now." 

Lucy nodded her head turning it back towards the dirt path ahead of them sighing out" Yeah I'm fine just thinking that's all." Ryuu nodded his as he directed his eyes back on the path as well. They kept walking in silence for about ten minutes until Ryuu broke it saying" it's about that magic that was given to you isn't it?" Lucy only nodded as her right hand fiddled with her keys trying to calm her nerves as she said" I Just...... I just don't want my memories to change or disappear. I have so many good memories that I have of the Guild and of my childhood. I even want to keep my bad memories,and yes I know that they cause me pain when I think of them, but both the good and the bad memories make me who I am today." 

Ryuu hummed in understanding as they kept walking down the path as the silence once more consumed them. When Ryuu was about to respond to what Lucy had said he was interrupted when something big and bulky come of the trees and started running straight towards him. As the bulky figure was close Ryuu grabbed Lucy's arm launching her into the branches of the trees above just as the he was knocked over by the creature. 

When he had hit the ground Ryuu didn't think twice as he bent his right leg putting his foot onto the creatures stomach and just before the creature could try to pin him down he pushed his foot into its stomach. Making it fall over his head landing on its back with thud. Before it could get up Ryuu put his hand on each side of his head and bending his legs as he launched himself onto his legs. When he was up he swiftly turned around as he aimed a fist at the Creature's head. Just as he was about land the hit heard it say" Iron Dragon ROAR!!!!!!!!!!" And then the next thing he knew was sent away a few feet being surrounded by dozens of iron shards cutting at his skin.

Ryuu Landed on his stomach that sent the air out of him. When he was trying to get up he heard someone laugh behind him and while saying" Gihee you shouldn't mess a Dragon Slayer punk."

 He turned his head towards where the was coming and saw that the creature was actually a person. The person was a guy he had with long spiky black hair, metal piercings all over his face, he had on a green top, black trench coat, metal studded gloves, and black boots on.

 Ryuu just rolled his eyes as he sarcastically croaked out still trying to get some air in his lungs" Ooooooh really? I'm just quaking in me shoes right now." The black haired guy glared down at him as the smirk that was on his face turned into a scowl as he growled out" I'll give you something to quake about."

 He started to make  his way towards Ryuu his left hand turning into a iron club and just as he was about hit Ryuu with the club they both heard someone above them yell out" Star Dress Taurus Form!!!!" and within a second Someone had sent a kick into the black haired guys jaw sending him a couple of feet away. Ryuu Looked up to see who had saved him and saw that Lucy was standing in front of him facing towards the guy she just kicked. The Guy got up from the spot he had landed in rubbing his jaw as he turned their way.

 When he saw Lucy he his eyes widened in shock as he mumbled out" Bunny Girl?" When it finally sunk in that he was seeing Lucy his confused face turned into annoyance. He raised is fist as he yelled out" WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR BUNNY GIRL!?!?!?!?!?! And were have you been for the past month? everyone is worried sick about you!!!" He then started making his way towards her but was stopped when a whip was snapped towards him. making him dodge before it could land a hit. He turned his head towards Lucy who only glared at him hold the whip as she said" Don't even take another step closer, Who are you and Why are you me calling Bunny Girl? Do I look like a bunny to you!?!?!" The guy just stood there in shock from what she had just said but he quickly shook it off as he said" Don't you recognize me ? It's me Gajeel!" Lucy looked at him confusedly as she mumbled out" Gajeel? why does that name sound familiar...." as she was about to reply back to him they were interrupted by some noise coming from the bushes to their right.
