Chapter Thirteen ~ Valentine's Day Part Two
I run to the guild as fast as I can, which is actually pretty fast. I run through the doors of the guild and everyone looks at me. When they notice my expression, they all have a scared look on their faces.
"NATSUUUU!!!" I yelled angrily. I see a pink head poke up from the crowd. People part to form a path as I walk towards him. Natsu is sitting at a table with everyone else, looking deeply scared for his life.
"What. Did. You. Do. To. My. Brother?" I ask him slowly.
"I-I didn't d-do anything." Natsu says.
"Are you sure?" I'm now standing in front of him, staring him dead in the eyes. If looks could kill, he'd be about 1,000 feet under right now.
"Y-yes?" Natsu says, not really sure of his answer. By this time, there was already a crowd forming. I lift Natsu out of his seat by the collar of his shirt. His feet are barely an inch off the ground.
"Why did you make my brother cry then?" I ask him sternly. "Answer correctly or I'll punch you."
"MADISON!!! HUNTER'S COMING!!" I hear Sage yell from the door. She seems breathless as if she ran here. Hunter suddenly runs in behind her and runs over to me. He has a slightly scared look on his face when he sees the scene. My expression softens as I realize just how scared he is. I hadn't seen him this scared since his mother was murder. I quickly let go of Natsu.
"I-I'm sorry..." I whisper quietly. Natsu rubs his throat a little before looking at me.
"It's fine. You're protective of him." Natsu says.
I look over at Hunter. He has a relieved look on his face. I can still see the fear in his eyes. He was scared, and I was the one to scare him. I sigh and turn towards the door. I walk away. Many watch me as I go. Sage trys to talk to me, but I wave her off. I walk into the forest, needing to go on a run with no one around to bother me. Once I reach the forest, I break into a sprint. I don't know why I'm sprinting. I just am. I run and run for what feels like forever. My asthma suddenly catches up to me and I have to stop. I lean against a tree as I wheeze, trying to catch my breath. I cough a little but soon catch my breath. I look around to find myself in a clearing. Maybe I could practice my magic? I've probably gotten a little rusty since I haven't used it in a long time. I pull out two golden keys. Aquarius and Aries.
"Open! Gate of the ram, Aries! Open! Gate of the water bearer, Aquarius!" I summon the two spirits. They pop out of thin air.
"Hey guys!" I greet them.
"I was on a date with Scorpio you little brat." Aquarius says angrily.
"Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't know. You can go back." I tell her.
"Thanks." She grunts. She poofs back to the spirit realm.
"I was getting ready to go on a date with Loke. I'm sorry!" Aries apologizes.
"It's prefectly fine Aries. I didn't really have a reason to summon you besides to see how you were doing." I explain to her.
"I'm doing good, thank you." Aries says.
"Well you can go now if you'd like. I'm just gonna practice my other magic." I tell her.
"Okay. Goodbye!" Aries says as she poofs away.
I sigh as I face a nearby tree. I guess I can use it to practice, but it probably wont be there for much longer.
"CELESTIAL DRAGON FIST!" I yell as I punch the tree. An indent almost all the way to the other side of the tree appears. The tree starts to fall over. I was going to let it fall when I realize there was a movement in the bush it was going to fall on. I quickly run over and catch the tree. It was heavy but not as heavy as trying to carry almost 350 pounds at once. I lay the tree next to the bush. I turn my attention back to the bush. It moves again. I sniff the air and sigh.
"You can come out guys." I say. Multiple heads appear from the bush. The heads belong to Hunter, Sage, Natsu, Happy, Gray, Lucy, Mira, and Erza. "What do you want?"
"We wanted to check on you." Hunter exclaims. Everyone nods their heads as if to say 'Yeah'.
"Well I'm fine. You can leave leave now." I say, finallying noticing they're all staring at the tree in awe. Except Hunter and Sage of course.
"So you have two magics like Hunter?" Erza says.
"Yeah." I say simply.
"And I've never even seen you use any magic. Only your fists." Gray says.
"The only thing I've seen her do is use her sent and hearing." Sage says.
"Well off you go." I say, trying to get them to leave.
"You shouldn't be pushing youself like that, forcing yourself to run for so long." Hunter says.
"I agree. You should go home and take a nap." Sage says.
"Fine. I will. You lot can go back to the guild." I say.
Everyone nods their heads at me. They head back to the guild while I follow behind them. When we reach the guild, the others go in while I head towards Hunter's. I quickly make it here, and I walk inside. Iris greets me with a face full of food. I laugh at her and tell her what had happened while I was at the guild.
-Hunter's Point Of View-
At the guild
"Mira hook me up with a barrel of the strongest stuff please." I say.
"Ok." She says with a worried look on her face.
She gives me the barrel and I chug it down. Now I see why Cana does it. It's amazing.
"Mira another please." I says.
She gives it to me and I chug it. I need more.
"More." I say.
I chug down three more barrels. I feel funny.
Then I see Madison at the door giving me the death stare.
"WHAT ARE YOU DRINKING?!?" She screams.
"Booze geeeeeeeeeeeze taaake a chill pillll." I say.
"How much?" She asks.
"Like five baarrels." I say.
"Put. It. Down." She says sternly.
"Noooooooo you can't make me." I say.
"You don't need it." She says as she grabs my barrel.
I slap her hands.
"Don't toush My booze bish." I say.
Everyone looks at me with worry. One I never cuss. Two I never drink.
"Mira moooore barrels plse." I say.
I drink more while Madison is in the bathroom.
Natsu and Happy come back back from the mission.
"OMG IS HUNTER DRINKING?" Happy screams.
"He's had eleven barrels." Cana says.
Natsu looks worried.
"Ohhhhhhh Happpy waant sooome?" I ask.
"No." He says.
Madison leaves the bathroom.
"HUNTER JACKSON NOVA THAT BETTER NOT BE MORE BOOZE!" She yells.
"Well it izzzz sooo gets over is." I yell back.
An hour later
I've had at least 23 barrels. I feel really bad. I try to get up but everything goes black.
-Madison's POV-
I look up from the ground and over at Hunter. I quickly realize his eyes are closed, and he's falling out of his seat. I quickly run over and catch Hunter before he can hit the ground. I sigh as I look at him, and I shake my head.
"Idiot." I mumble while lifting him up.
"Do you need any help? I could carry him for you." Natsu asks, walking over.
I think about it for a second. "Sure." I hand Hunter over to him. Plus I can tease Hunter about it later hehe.
"Follow me. We're heading to Hunter's place though I assume you've been there before." I tell him.
"Okay." Natsu says. He most likely heard the last part but chose to ignore it. I turn my head just barely to take a peak at him. His cheeks are tinted a very light shade of pink. If I had looked at it for a second less I wouldn't have believed it was there.
We quickly make it to Hunter's place. Natsu brings Hunter to his room and I sit on the couch petting Iris. Natsu exits Hunter's room and closes to door very quietly behind him.
"I'm sorry about what happened earlier." I mumble. Natsu looks up at me.
"It's fine." He says. I nod at him. "Well I'll be going. Bye."
"Bye." I say. He leaves quickly, and Iris sits up.
"I'm tired." She says.
"Me too. Lets head to bed." I tell her. We head too my room and quickly fall asleep.
