When The Sadist Girl Falls... (Edo-NaLu)

Entry 1

The room was silent and dim, if not for the old lamp at the study table. Amidst the semi-darkness is the lone figure of a blonde girl and a rather her study table, writing. Lucy Ashley is currently writing about her another perfectly ruined day at her journal.

Wednesday, 9:30 pm

Aaaaaarrgggghhhh!!!It's the third consecutive perfectly ruined day in my life!!! That Fireball is talking to me and asking questions about our next job when I actually said "I do". Can you believe it?! I DO!!! I mean, what the heck did I just said? He replied, "You do....what?" in a very questioned look making me blush. Because of that...I always ask myself, "Am I in some sort of a wedding ceremony to reply 'I do'?"

I also had this very uneasy feeling since that day.

~FLASHBACK~ (not included in Lucy Ashley's Journal,just a flashback)

"Give it back, punk!" Lucy yelled at the leader of some gang in Edolas. They have been making ruckus around the kingdom, so King Jellal personally requested Fairy Tail to give the gang some thrashing.

"So Miss, are you planning to fight us alone?" The leader of the gang asked with a mean scowl on his face.

"What are you talking about? I'm not alone. I have him with me," the short-haired blonde pointed at the pink-haired guy, "Natsu!"

"So Natsu's his name, huh? That Natsu with you is nothing more than a coward. Look at the guy, he's trembling with fear." the leader regarded Fireball.

Natsu Dragion just stood in the corner not wanting to fight. His wheels was very far from them since they left them outside before they go to this warehouse.

"You think so? Come here,Fireball. Let's teach this guys a lesson." Lucy called but Natsu remained on the spot. Not moving, as if afraid that if he does he'll be beaten by those guys.

" B-but I-I don't think I c-can fight them as g-good as you, L-Lucy." Natsu replied.

"Idiot! Don't show them your weakness!" Lucy glared icily at Natsu who was now trembling with fear for his life.

"G-gomen, Lucy-chan." he said nearly tearing up.

"Miss Lucy, was it? You made your comrade cry. You're such a bad girl. You call him your comrade even when you always make him cry." the gang leade r taunted.

"B-but----" Lucy tried to reason but was interrupted.

"No more buts, you made him cry. Maybe you could've beaten him if we weren't here." the leader looked sympathetically as if feeling sorry for Natsu.

"I-Its not true I--"

"I didn't mean it.."

"..beating him like that..."

"Yelling at him"

"But is it truly me? I may beat him sometimes....no, everyday... but I still see him as my friend and comrade. I didn't even thought the possibility that one day, he may be angry with me. Yes, it truly is me that he can consider as his enemy."

Those very words lingered on Lucy Ashley's mind. Tears fell from her cheeks. Knowing that maybe Natsu will be angry at her by beating and yelling at him everyday.

Natsu stared at Lucy crying.It's his very first time to see her cry. On his mind, he thought that nothing could make the very sadist and cruel girl cry. The leader and his comrades are obviously making fun of her as she slowly fell and crouched on her feet, covering her face, crying.

Natsu may be a coward but his mind is now working fast. He doesn't know what he's feeling by now. Seeing Lucy cry triggered something in him. It's as if his mind turned autopilot. He attacked the gang. Punching, kicking, part of him knew that he's just a scaredy cat, not strong, and obviously has no chance in winning but all he could think of is the crying Lucy. He couldn't stand someone making her cry, even if those guys are far more dangerous than Lucy, herself. He's fighting neck-to-neck with the leader. He didn't know where this mysterious force from him came from but he is thanking it,for this unknown strength is the strength keeping him alive from the gang.

"So, you're not that coward anymore, eh?" the leader smiled at him menacingly. Natsu just grinned and attacked him, making him fall on his feet. He took a quick glance on Lucy who is staring at him with disbelief that this boy can also fight.

But something's wrong. A member of the gang sneaked on Lucy's back, holding a metal club and by the looks of it, he ought to knock Lucy unconscious. " Lucy, at your back!!!" Natsu yelled with all his mighy. Lucy turned to see what's at her back when the member aimed the club at her. She just stared, not moving even an inch, her face is panic-stricken.

Then, a thought came to Natsu's head. She's not going to dodge. Even if she will, she can't escape from it.

So, Natsu immediately turned his back from the enemy and ran to save her. "Kill her!!!"

Natsu heard the leader's command to the member. He ran as fast as he can, holding his breath.

The man swayed the metal club and attacked Lucy but it's too late... too late for the man. Natsu held Lucyin his arms, carrying her bridal-style as he saved her. Lucy, still staring at him, mouthed the word "How" questioningly. Natsu grinned as Lucy pushed her back. "Stop grinning! As if I told you to save me." Lucy jumped and stood at her feet with a faint blush.

"But we defeated the gang." Natsu reminded with a toothy smile.

"I could've defeated them myself." Lucy replied grumpily as she turned his back from Natsu,walking outside. She just can't face Natsu with the blush on her face getting redder.

"Wait, Lucy-chan!" He called as he walked next to her.

"Arigato." Lucy uttered inaudibly.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

...............that he became my Knight-In-Shining-Armor. I felt very embarrassed just seeing him. I don't know why, but it's making me feel uneasy. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?!
