If you like this story, if you don't mind could you please check out my other GaLe story? It's based in high school, and I like the plot so I hope to write the two stories at the same time!

Gajeels POV

Levy collapsed in my arms; I thought she was dead at first, till I felt her breathe in quickly.

"S-Stop...."

"Huh? Levy?"

"LEVY!" Jet and Droy ran towards me. "Get off of her Gajeel!"

"Gajeel? You should let Levy go." The rest of the guild looked at me expectantly.

"No way! She could die! I don't want her to die , not today!"

"Well if you keep suffocating her she will die." Erza practically threw me across the room and picked up Levy. "You were holding her so tight I noticed that her chest was looking like it was about to collapse."

"Gah!" Levy started coughing wildly.

"LEVY!" Jet and Droy walked beside Erza whilst she took Levy to her room in Fairy Hills.

"Why wasn't there a huge surge if evil power within Levy?" Flame Head and Ice Boy wondered aloud.

I wishi didn't say what i said.

"Maybe because she's weak. There was no power to control."

Everybody looked at me in disgust.

"How can you say that?!" Lucy pushed past a couple of members and punched me in the face. But before she had time to reach my nose, scales appeared on my face preventing any damage to come to me.

"Think about it. He was talking about power, wasn't he?" Mira-Jane nodded.

"Exactly! He was aiming for me, and because Levy pushed me away, he could be confused and pushing Levy past her limit!"

More people started to mumble, some nodded their heads.

"How can you all say such a thing?!" Lucy was crying. "Levy's our friend! Our teammate! And you're all calling her weak! You're all pathetic. Saying such things."

With that she ran out of the guild hall in pursuit of Levy.

Natsu's POV (odd I know)

"LUCY!" I ran after her. I understood how she felt, but what Gajeel and Mira said had a weird, but understandable, sense of logic to it.

"What Natsu?" Lucy turned to face me. "Surely you don't think that Levy's some weakling who everyone just thinks they have to protect!"

"Look, I'm not judging her or anything-"

"But you are." She gave me a cold glare. "Right now Levy is fighting for her life. By calling her weak, all you're doing is doubting that she's going to survive."

"I never meant anything like that! And she's not so weak so that she can't defend herself! I know someone who I thought was weak at first, but then she turned out to be a pretty strong wizard!"

"Who? Who could you think was so weak?"

"Well." I scratched my head.

"Go on. Say it."

"At first I thought you were weak. You didn't have as much experience as most other celestial spirit mages and-"

"Oh, so you thought i was weak?!"

"Yes! No! I mean...!"

"Forget it Natsu, I'm going to check on Levy." She started walking away. "Like a nice, kind, good friend would." She exaggerated the word 'friend'.

A cold breeze brushed past me.

"Lucy."

"...."

"Hey Luce!"

"...."

"Luigi!"

"What?!" She turned and looked mad.

"This." I raced forwards and kissed her. When the kiss ended I hugged her tightly. "I wish that I never thought that you were weak, because you're one of the strongest wizards I know. Without you, Happy and I wouldn't be here right now. We wouldn't be as well fed, as well kept and just stinky."

"Natsu..."

"I believe that Levy will get better. The Maxiean guy doesn't know her like we do. So I'll believe in her like you. I promise."

Hope any NaLu fans liked that part! ;)

Gajeel's POV

The next day I awoke to find myself still in the guild hall. Who could blame me? I was worried sick, and since I wasn't aloud in Fairy Hills I had to stay in the guild hall.

"He's awake!" Mira-Jane shouted. "You can make noise now!"

It was just as if she'd let Salamander and Ice Boy fight. Tables flew past me. So did chairs, glasses, beer barrels with an angry Cana attached, and at one point I swear that Cana had gotten someone to aim her at a barrel and land on it. Weird.

"Hey Mira!" A more than happy person walked up to the bar. "Can you get me and Natsu a milkshake?"

"He finally said it huh?" Mira smiled and I realised that Bunny girl was at the bar. She looked, nicer than before.

"Uh huh! Thanks for the advice!" Once she got her milkshake he left, Mira turned to face me.

"Levy's upstairs in the Master's office. She wants to see you."

I jumped up and sprinted up the stairs.

------

"Levy!" The small bluenette saw me and smiled.

"Hi Gajeel."

"What's happening?!"

"Well Gajeel, perfect timing." Makarov looked at me. "But I'm not sure that you can help Levy with this."

"With what?"

"Maxiean wants me to give him to the guild who made him. Within the next 20 hours."

"What happens after that time?"

"I die. Maxiean pushes me past my limit, and my powers destroy me." She said it so seriously, I half expected her to burst out laughing and say it was a joke.

"How the hell are we going to find them?!"

"How am I going to fid them you mean, and he told me their name."

"And?!"

"Blood Rose."

"Who're they?"

"Gajeel." Makarov stared at me. "They're a guild who hunt dragon slayers. You can't go with her."

"As if!" I clenched my fists. "I'm going, even if I'm in trouble, it's nothing compared to what may happen to Levy."

Levy looked at me with her brown eyes.

"No, I can handle this by myself."

"No way."

"Gajeel." Makarov walked towards me. "This is Levy's choice."

Levy's POV

As I left the guild I felt Maxiean's voice in my mind.

Do you know how annoying it is just to sit in your mind? It's really annoying! Why can't I take over you McGarden?!

"You'll kill me, remember? I can't take you magical pressure."

Oh yeah! If you take too long delivering me I'll do that!

"Please don't-" Before I could do anything, I was picked up by the collar of my shirt. "Ack! Help!"

"Quiet shrimp."

"Gajeel?!"

"I'm comin' with ya." Gajeels familiar smile appeared beside me. "Whether you like it or not!"
