The Dragon's Light

WAR(!)

Four days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was lunch time. "Lucy!! More fish!!" Happy exclaims in his sparkly eyes. "Yes yes cat" Lucy sighs, Wendy giggling.

"I have to go on a job soon... Apartment rents are so high" she whined. "Work hard then" Gray teases, Lucy pouting. "Cake" Erza hummed.

"Where's Natsu?" Lucy asks, looking around the noisy restaurant. "Pobraby shamwer" Happy answers, mouth full of food. "Manners cat" Lucy sighs.

---

Sighing, he went to the said place of their old meeting place. "Hey Nin guy! Let's end this right here, right now!" Natsu shouts, alert of his background.

A sigh was heard in the air. "My name is Nine. I feel so saddened for you to get my beloved name wrong" the voice sobbed.

"Enough! My answer's still no!!" Natsu shouts, readying himself for battle. "I had a hunch you would say that mr. Salamander. Too bad, and here I was politely inviting you" the voice disappeared.

Turning around, Natsu saw a knife about to slash his head as he reflexively avoided, resulting it to a small cut on his cheek. Suddenly, masked men appeared before him.

"Enjoy!" Nine's voice laughed, slowly disappearing in midair. "I'm all fired up!!"

----

"Ah I'm full..." Gray says in satisfaction. "Worth the money spending" Lucy says in agreement. "I'll head back to the guild" Erza states, Gray and Lucy nodding.

"Then I'll also head back, see you everyone" Wendy smiles, waving goodbye as she, Carla and Erza turn around to head back to their guild.

"Then I'll take a stroll around here, Happy wanna come?" Lucy offers. "Aye sir!!" Happy happily answers, flying into Lucy's arms. "Then I'll also go and head somewhere" Gray exclaims.

"Also, wear a shirt!" Lucy reminds, before turning to leave. "Again!?"

----

"Fire Dragon's Rooarr!!!"

"Air Shackles!!!"

"Flames Lightning Smash!!"

"Wind hail!!"

"Tch" Natsu clicked his tongue, glaring at his every enemies. "Come on! It's just a single dumb mage! Whoever takes his head gets the prize!!" one of the men shouts, his gang cheering in response.

"Over my dead body!!!!"

----

"Hey Happy?" Lucy asks. "Yesh?" Happy answers, nibbling on his fish. "Not to be rude but... I was wondering, Natsu's always putting on a distance between us. Like,he doesn't want to deal with others" she sighs.

"Do you hate him?" Happy asks, gulping his food. "I never said that. I just wish I could see more openlike" she tenderly smiles. "Looovveeee??" Happy sneered, giggling in tease.

"He's my friend okay?" Lucy playfully pokes his nose, Happy laughing. "Lisanna" Happy suddenly blurts out. "Who?" Lucy raises a brow in question.

"She was Mirajane and Elfman's sister. Natsu and I loved her so much. We had so much fun together" Happy sniffled, Lucy taking him in his arms.

She instantly knew something was wrong when she heard Happy say the word "was". Not wanting to see her furry friend cry, she decided to brush off the topic.

"Fire Dragon's Elbow Attack!!!"

A familiar voice, the duo looked at each and knew it was Natsu. They're near each other, and things are not going well this time.
