Chapter 9: Subconscious, Vinegar and Bixie
**Okay, let's rewind back for a bit. It's only 11:47 in the evening, about the time where Lucy's met up with Gray.
Natsu's POV
Argh. My head hurts! I can't remember what happened? Wait...why am I in Lucy's room? What am I doing in her bed!? And why am I having weird rune-like in my arm? Where is Lucy?
Lucy...
Suddenly cold breeze went inside her room through the half-open window and its there, Lucy, Her whole scent fills the room and I don't know for what reason but it is making me crazy.
I want to see Lucy.
Where is she?
I close my eyes, and for some weird reason, I'm smelling her towards the forest part of Magnolia. What is she doing there?
Mission? Hunting? Wait...Maybe the others are also there! Maybe they're having camping! Daaamn, They're having all the fun leaving me here.
I said to myself as I immediately pack my things. Yes, I have some clothes in Lucy's house, Happy and I have been doing a surprise slumber party at Lucy's house then whenever she comes home we will all be like "Yay! Today is the surprise slumber party" Then Lucy will try to kick us out of the house but fail miserably. In the end, we'll be having the slumber party at her home. Better set the date for this month's slumber party, I told to myself.
Wait a sec.
*sniff* *sniff*
Why am I smelling Ice-freak together with Lucy?
What are they doing together?
Did I just smell it wrong? Then I went towards the half-open window and open it widely. I face towards the eastern part of the forest. I took a deep breath and try to smell it again.
What is Gray doing with her?
Why is he near her?
How can I smell so clearly?
What are they doing in a forest?
Suddenly I felt my whole being feel rage. I...don't know what is happening to me but I felt myself burning with this weird feeling? I'm burning with so much anger towards Gray and I don't know the reason. Heck, I don't even get what the reason is?
Is it because he's along with Lucy now?
Again, the thought of her being all alone with him makes my every fiber burn with anger? hatred? towards Gray.
Am I jealous of Gray?
Suddenly as if cold water splashes me in the face, I feel myself calm down a bit. Why am I jealous of Gray? Just because he's with Lucy now? WHY?
Then suddenly I smell something burning and I gape as I saw Lucy's velvet curtain burning.
Damn! She's gonna kill me!
Argh! water! water! Damn it where is that water woman when you need her? Argh...wind..wind...blow it. Water I need water...where's the effing sink?I said as I go around the room, getting crazier by the minute. Lucy will definitely kill me. She just bought this expensive velvet curtains and she's really in love with...
...
...
...
...
In Love?
Am I in love with Lucy?
Haha. Probably no.
Hahaha. Just no. She's my nakama. How can I be in love with her?
'Then do you want her to be in love with Gray'
Huh? I heard someone in my head say.
"Hi, Dragneel I'm your subconscious."
Sub..what?
'Let's just say I get to voice out your most inner desires.'
'Inner desires? I desire Gray to be in love with Lucy? Me?
'Yup that's what I heard you say'
"Huh? Are you kidding me? As I'll let Ice brain have her. Lucy's Mine. Mine and Mine alone."
'Hmm..then can you give her to me?'
"Shut up Subconscious or not NOBODY TOUCHES WHAT IS MINE," I said growling
...
...
...
Wait a second. What am I doing? I'm acting like an idiot! No one's here and I'm getting angry.
Sigh...then I remember that Lucy's curtain is still burning and from the looks of it, half of the curtain is now ashes.
Ah! I know I'll just eat it! I exclaimed at my genius plan. Then I slurp it and eat the fire...Yum, silk curtain flavor. I told myself to munch it.
But the moment I swallowed it, I felt another sensation.
"Kyaaa! Gray!"
I heard Lucy yell.
It feels like all my senses got stronger the moment I ate that burning curtain. Is Lucy in danger? Why!? Why did she call out Gray's name? She should have called mine! Again, anger is burning throughout my whole body.
Why? I close my eyes and bit my lip, so hard that its bleeding now, Calm down Natsu, Calm down. I told myself. Why am I getting this angry? Then I suddenly heard it again.
"Gray! Help"
"Luce grab my hand! hurry up!"
That's it! No one can grab Lucy's hand and NO ONE is allowed to call her Luce. It's MY privilege to call her that. Only mine. Not Happy, Erza,Levy, Mira, Gramps. no one...Not even Gray. Unable to control anything anymore, I stood up and jump out of Lucy's room as I headed straight to the forest.
Burnt curtains?
Lamp Shade melted
Windows Broken?
Who cares?
For now WHO CARES?
End Of Natsu's POV.
Freed's POV
Damn it! I hadn't taken account that something like this could happen! Last year we only have to take care of Laxus and Natsu? Well, I heard he's been taken care of by Mystogan, but now he's back to his world, Edolas is it? And to make things worse we had another dragon slayer, an insane one at that. Sigh, and here I thought Natsu will be the crazy one but turns out Gajeel is the one who has some major problems.
Sigh, if Laxus...if I can't protect Laxus' dignity then I don't deserve to be in the same team as him! Uwhooooo! I said as I cry, Manly tears.
"Er..excuse me. Freed, hate to stop you from your dramatic thoughts but dude you're stepping on my IV drip." Bixlow said as he grunts in pain "Bix no one calls me dude" I said as I continue stepping on the MP IV drop as he grunts in pain. "Oh yeah? Does no one want to call the eye master Bix? Got it Green Boy?" Bixlow said as he used one of his dolls to make me trip as I fell down above him.
" Ow. You know what Freed? Get the hell up cause you see as much as I'm injured, the position we're in is definitely not into my liking" He said with disgust.
"Well, the same goes for me, pal. same goes for me" I said as I get up from that awkward position.
"FINALLY. SOME SPACE" He said "But I bet you're thinking that if Laxus asked you to strip. you'll do it"
"Did not" Freed said, "Want me to put you into an end?" I said as I threaten him with my runes.
"Try it. Let's see who'll be faster in finishing who?" He said with his baby dolls ready.
And just when we're in the middle of killing each other, not. We heard someone laughing.
"Who's there!?" I said, ready to attack whoever it is.
"Whoa, lower down that sword Freed" This voice...She's...
"As much as I want to continue seeing you guys in your lovers' quarrel...-hic-...we have a problem."
"We are not lovers!" I exclaimed in anger.
"Okay, okay, wifey calm down and hold your greenhorns," she said "and told ya to put it down-hic-" making Bixlow stifle a burst of laughter.
"Nice seeing you alive and kicking Bixlow" She said "Er...As you can see I have my right leg broken with an IV drip and a cast?." Bixlow replied.
"Yeah? Then kick with the other foot -hic-"
"Sheesh...You're drunk" I said as I get the booze she has.
"Okay nice wifey!" Bixlow cheered "You sure love your hubby"
"Oh...gosh Bixlow. You're making me blush" She said in a drunken manner
(A/n: okay people and nonpeople if you still haven't guessed who she is then I guess I've gotta spell it out for you xD)
..
..
..
"Cana! Shut it! You're drunk and I've told you to stop drinking" I told her
"What? Freed? Nobody. Nobody tells me to shut up! And I'm not drunk. I've never been drunk" She said while circling back and forth with a thunder card in her hand "Just a little...tipsy" By the way remind to Cana that she lost to some quatro puppy dude she'll definitely break your nose. Well if you don't believe me ask manly Elfman. Why? Cause let's just say Elfman spent his weekends for a nose job.
"So Cana how many barrels is it today?" Bixlow asked as he snorted.
"I just had a few today. Really" She said "Just around 70?"
"70!? Are you crazy!? I told you to go with Mira and the others! You know its Mating season and right now we have three loose in heat dragon slayers!" I said snapping at her.
"Hold it! Greenhorn!" Cana said "I came back because we have a problem"
"What now?" I irritatedly asked. Jeez, what the heck is she doing around here with a Gajeel and a Laxus on loose wearing only a...a...bikini tank top and jeans in her drunken state?
"From the looks of it, Laxus escape his royal chamber meaning you failed-hic-"She said as she looks around at the mess up the place.
"Yep, Gajeel breakdown looking for Levy almost killed me and got Laxus out," Bixlow said as he tried to seat up.
"And that's where the problem is," Cana said as she sighs "Now I know who is the culprit behind Mira's abduction"
"WHAT?" I asked my eyes almost popping out of its sockets.
"You heard me. Greenhead!" Cana said "That Laxus! He abducted Mira"
"You're kidding right?" Bixlow asked "Its Demon Mirajane we're talking about"
"Oh yeah? I'm talking about Laxus Dreyar here, A dragon slayer in heat. Moves a lot faster...Why?Well, want me to remind you Bixie that he's a thunder dragon slayer? Now does it ring a bell with you?" Cana said as she snap at Bixlow, obvious that she's in a perfect condition and that she's damn worried about Mira and wait...did she just called Bixlow? Bixie?
Heck, that's much better than me calling him Bix. As expected of my girlfriend she's got one heck of a spunk.
(A/n: Yup! you read it right. I want Cana to be with Freed. why? because I think it will be kind of nice to see them together plus it reminds me of the part during the S-rank examination? Cana and Lucy VS Freed and Bixlow?)
Bixlow seems to have experienced his own medicine or in this case Ever's eye magic? Why? well, he's just frozen there, the shock that Cana just snap at him and she just called her Bixie.
"So is Laxus really the one who abducted Mirajane?" I asked as I turned to look at her.
She nods and said "Yep, affirmative. Your yellow dragon slayer went after Mira."
"Bu..But how? I heard from Levy that Mira went on a mission...?"
"Yup, Me, Mira, Lisanna, Elfman and Evergreen," Cana said as she sat down "We've just passed the borders from Magnolia and we plan to stay the night at Huggle's PUB near the Puff station. Y'know the entrance city to Safforo, where we'll meet our contractors and client to talk about the mission today but before we can even meet Mr. Contractor. Your thunder tribe leader just storm off with Mira"
"THAT'S ABSURD!?" I yelled "Going in between Magnolia and Puff station, the faster that it can be is a whole day"
"Big words Freed-ie" She said, then she stood up, walk towards me "But it's Laxus we're talking about so get your head to accept that fact within thirty seconds because we have thunder dragon-hunting to do. Cause I swear Freed if your yellow dragon does anything to Mira. I'm gonna rip out the very proof that he's a man"
I gulp in horror as she said it with so much killing intent...sometimes I forgot that she's Gildarts daughter and sometimes I wish to forget that she is but seems like you can never stop the blood thing. She is Gildart's daughter, I just hope Laxus won't do anything stupid to her or else I've really gotta worry for the Dreyar's future generation. Cause as serious this whole Mating Season is the more things are getting heat up and hellish.
Sigh...and it's only the first night...do I have to experience this kind of thing for the whole season?
"Okay, Freed-ie! Get your ass and sword ready cause we've got some hunting to do" Cana said as she gulps an extra jug of beer to make her kicking for the night.
"Sigh...fine..fine..Just stop with the Fred-ie" I said and just as soon as I finish putting protection runes to close up the cave, I look at the time, its
12:01, I step out of the cave and
We're off to HELL.
