Grey eyes watched the scene with shinning eyes, giggling as Lucy beat Natsu senseless. It was a rare occurrence for Natsu to even be around the guild, but whenever he does come around, Lucy's always following.
When was she going to admit her feelings?
"Lucy. . .Bullying Natsu again?" She giggled, leaning onto her best friend, Lisanna. "Who won this time?"
"Kemi!" Lisanna scowled her friend, looking back to the fighting pair. "Lucy, stop it, already."
"We're done here," Lucy responded, putting her hands behind her head. Akemi laughed, skipping over to Lucy and draping her arm over her shoulders.
"Are you? Are you really?" She poked Lucy's cheek.
"You've come back!" Elfman cheered, not seeing Natsu's reaction to seeing his long lost best friend.
"Welcome back, Lisanna! Akemi!" Mirajane greeted happily.
"Hi, Mira, Elfman! Oh, hello Levy, Nab, Jet, Droy," The black-haired girl let Lucy go and started to greet everyone in the guild hall, not seeing a smaller Wendy's eyes follow her.
Akemi. . .I've seen her somewhere before. . .
"Jet, Droy, Don't bully Elf-niichan either!" Lisanna chided the two men.
"Oh, Elfman!" Akemi hugged the taller man. "We can go get some ice cream from the bar! I'm sure that'll make you feel better!"
"Thank you, Kemi," Elfman rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. Akemi giggled, turning slightly to catch Natsu's stare. But he wasn't staring at her, he was staring at Lisanna, with tears in his eyes.
Concerned, Akemi carefully walked over to Natsu and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Natsu? Are you okay?"
"Lisanna!" Natsu roared, the blue cat at his side joining in as the two of them tried to tackle Lisanna into a hug.
"Hey!" Lucy snapped, kicking to two away. Akemi blinked slightly in surprise, watching the scene in front of her. "Since when did you start acting like an animal?"
"But Lisanna is alive. . .Right over there. . ." Natsu whimpered.
"Yeah," Akemi agreed slowly, wrapping an arm around Lisanna. "Lisanna's been here for years now. . ."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Lucy demanded.
"Whatever, just calm down," Gray gently guided Natsu to a table. "Cry on my shoulder, just like old times. We're best buds, right?"
Akemi giggled, turning to Lisanna as Mirajane and Elfman gathered around as well. Seeing the expression on her face, Akemi asked softly; "Are you okay?"
Lisanna didn't have anytime to respond as Nab slammed the doors open and cried out something that made all their blood run cold.
"It's the Fairy Hunter!"
"Crap!"
"This location's been found out already?"
"That was quick, too quick!"
"The people from the Kingdom are after us again. . ." Cana stated.
"Levy, start that thing up!"
"Reactor ready for ignition!" Levy called back. "Coordinates set. Error compensation complete in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. . .Connected to the marker! Shock absorber charged with magic!"
