Nashi (under Rewrite)

Promise

AKATSUKIS POV
The whole time I held Nashi, taking her to rest, she kept blinking in struggle to keep her eyes open. I shook my head.
"Stop struggling so much. Just fall asleep." I said.
She shook her head. "I don't want to. Even if she sleeps, she is still there." Nashi whispered and clutched my shirt on her hands. I tightened my grip, hugging her.
She was more than a best friend to me. She was a part of me, the one who knew me the best, and I knew everything about her. The only thing we kept from each other, was our magic, but only because she wanted to live a normal life, so I didn't ask. Don't misunderstand, we have no romantic feelings for each other, it's simply as if she was a part of my soul, and I was part of hers. If she would die, I don't know what I would do.
I chuckled. "Let's get you to bed princess."

I lied Nashi gently at Auntie's Minerva's bed. She was on a mission with my mom until tomorrow, so I doubt that she will mind. And besides, Nashi is her favorite.
Actually when I think about it, it's funny how half of our guild knew about where were Nashi and Aunt Lucy, but nobody in her old guild had even an idea.
"Squirrel? Do you know anything about Nana, Tora and Jackie?" Nashi asked as I was pulling the blanket over her. I smiled. "They are all okay. Though Nana is whining that he can't see you." She giggled. "Oh, and Jackie has another boyfriend. From what I heard, he is something around 17." I chuckled as well. "Well what can expect from that woman?" Nashi said smiling.
I gently patted her head and smiled. "Sleep. I'll be right back." I said and went out of the room.

"How is she?" A voice came from my left side as I closed the door. The ice-guy, Storm if I remember was leaning against the wall. "Sleeping. She is just tired." I gave him a wierd look. He slowly nodded, but stood on one place. I sighed and leaned my head backwards. "If you'll step in front of her room, it makes no difference if you go inside." I looked at him from the corner of my eye. He looked at the ceiling.
"I don't want to disturb her from her rest."
I laughed sarcastically. "Look, Ice-princess. You may think that I'm idiot, but you better not underestimate the nose and hearing of a Light-Dragon slayer. I know very well what's this about."
He looked at me, without changing his boring attitude. "Is there something wrong with it?"
I came closer to him, both of our hands in our pockets. "No at all. At least, until you try something." I whispered, very well aware of Nashi's hearing. I just hope, she is sleeping.
"I though that you two were just best friends?" At least, he understood that he has to whisper.
I came even closer, looking at him from the top, as I was a bit taller. "Is there something bad, with wanting to protect my best friend?"
He shook his head. "Until there are no other intentions......" "And why are you so concerned about it?" I jumped into his speech. "You know, I may have got the magic from my dad, but it does not really suit me. Don't get in my way." He smirked.
I chuckled. "Aren't you full of yourself?" "If you want to get something you have to be." He said and walked away.
Maybe I didn't have any romantic feelings for Nashi, but I never had an intention to hand her over just to someone.
She went through a lot thanks to magic, and living a normal life made her happy.
There's no way I'm letting some wizard mess up her life again.

NATSUS POV
"Oh my....I would never imagine that she has something like that....." Mira whispered, pressing her palm on her mouth after Sting's oldest son took Nashi away. "To think that that poor child was suffering all on her own. Having the END demon......." Juvia sighed.
After Nashi finished talking, none of us moved an inch. Storm was the only one to stand up, and he went somewhere outside. The kids were all looking into the ground.
"No wonder she hates magic so much, if it makes her suffer like that. She is still so young. In her age, everybody would." Erza said, and Jellal hugged her around her shoulders.
I looked at Loke. Since he said that Nashi is mine, I couldn't think about anything else.
I stood up.
"Where are you going Natsu?" Sting asked. "I have to cool my head." I said. I was pissed at him for not telling us where Lucy is. He knew very well what she meant......no what she still means for me.
I went out and looked at the mess we made. I have no idea who is that Sammy guy, but to think he could make a mess big like this.
I didn't know what I felt right now. Words can't really describe this feeling.
I just wandered around. I didn't have a place I was going to, just going around the guild, the forest, the town. All that was on my mind, was Lucy and Nashi. I had them so close, and yet they are still so far away.
I hate my self for that.
I really do.

"Natsu?" Loke found me sitting on the roof top of the guild.
"May I have a word with you?"
"Suit yourself." I mumbled, my head leaning against a huge chimney coming from the guilds fireplace.
He sat down next to me. We both looked at the horizon, which started to be red as the sun was going down.
"Look Natsu, first of all I wanted to apologize for not telling you anything before. I told Lucy to contact you, but she was too scared, that if the guild finds out where she is, they'll hurt Nashi."
"I would never hurt any of them." I whispered. Loke nodded. "I know you wouldn't. That was not the only reason." I looked over at him. He was purposely not looking me in the eye, his hands connected in front of his chin, his spiky hair laying down, as if wet.
"There's more to it?" I rephrased his sentence to a question, so he has to continue.
Loke sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "Look this is really not easy for me to say. But if I don't, it'll only create more bad than good. So I beg you to listen to me." He looked over at me.
I just stared at the horizon. I didn't really feel like giving him an answer, but that, was an answer itself.
Loke sighed.
"You know, it's not like Lucy lived the whole fifteen years by herself. She was actually quite popular, though she tried to keep low profile. Only one man, caught her attention though." I stiffened as he said that. He noticed it, but continued.
"His name was Arlock. He was a teacher at Nashi's school, a nice guy. In his mid twenties, when they met. He had a bad luck with woman, but because of his looks, every single of the mom's were all over him. The only one who didn't pay attention to him, was Lucy. That's actually why she caught us attention."
I really wanted to cover my ears and run away. Listening how the woman I love, lived with somebody else, hurt me. A lot.
"When Nashi was little, she was amazing at writing. Thanks to her maturing quickly she could make interesting stories with no problem at the age of six. She was really fond of Arlock. And he caught Lucy's interest as well."
I swallowed.
Loke leaned back at the chimney as well.
"Arlock thought of Nashi as of her own. He was raising her properly and he loved both Nashi and Lucy with his whole heart. The only problem was that Lucy, she couldn't get over you Natsu. She just couldn't give him the love he deserved."
Hearing that Lucy still loved me, made me hella happy.
I leaned forward, trying to proceed all of the information I just got.
"How long are you going to spill my secrets without me knowing?" Nashi said, her head popping out of the door to the roof.
"You are supposed to rest." Loke said, not even looking at her.
She sting her tongue out at him, which made me to chuckle.
"Oh I'm sorry. Would you prefer to talk about this?" Loke asked, finally facing Nashi.
She crossed her arms.
"Get away from here."
Loke sighed, but got up. I didn't move a muscle, as Nashi went to sit on his place. Loke gave us one last glance, before closing the doors behind him.
We both stared at the horizon.
"I don't really know, how to talk about this." Nashi said.
I kept quiet.
"You know, it's quite hard. Wanting to tell, but....." She whispered.
I glanced over to her.
She inhaled.
"I'll tell you everything."
