The sun was bright one fairy Tail morning. Everyone was hanging out in the guild, Natsu and Gray fighting like always, Lucy sitting at the bar with Erza, Mira, and Levy. Gajeel and Juvia were sitting at a table all by themselves talking amongst one another. Everything was going how it usually goes. Finally Gajeel got up and walked out of the guild with levy. Juvia was by herself staring at everybody thinking how awesome her life is now thanks to gray and everybody in the guild. She couldn't have asked for anything more in her life. Gray and Natsu were finally done fighting after breaking almost every table in the guild. Gray saw Juvia sitting by herself, so he walked over to her table and say down.

"What are you doing, Juvia?" Gray asked looking all beat up. Juvia couldn't help but giggle at how silly he looked.

"Oh nothing gray-sama. Juvia was just thinking at how happy everyone is."

"Well your happy too aren't you?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course Juvia is. She finally has a family who cares about her. Juvia's life has changed for the better all thanks to gray-sama."

"Me?" he asked.

"It's thanks to you that you have shown Juvia what it's like to see the sun. You've shown Juvia what it's like to finally not be alone anymore." Said Juvia with a little pink on her cheeks.

"You give me too much credit Juvia. Everyone loves you for who you are. It's your personality and compassion that makes everyone loves you. "Gray said with a smile on his face.

"He's right you know." Cana said walking up to their table. "I still remember how you sacrificed yourself just so that you wouldn't have to fight me when Laxus was trying to take over the guild."

Gray looked at Cana shocked and then looked at Juvia trying to get an explanation out of either one of them. Then Cana giggled while looking at Juvia as she had a blush across her face. That's when he finally got tired of waiting for an explanation and asked while his eyebrow was twitching

"Umm, what exactly are you guys talking about?" Gray finally spat out.

"Oh that's right you were too busy being passed out after you got your butt handed to you "Cana said with a smirk on her face. Gray was getting a little agitated so Cana stopped and cleared her throat.

"Well Fried had Juvia and I trapped in a runes game. The rules were that whoever got caught had to fight each other till one is left standing and Fried made a remark at how Juvia used to be with Phantom Lord and how she could betray us at any time." Gray looked at Juvia shocked who just looked not looking at gray.

"Does he still feel that way towards her now?" Gray asked in a ticked way.

"Not anymore. It's what Juvia did that made him change his mind." Cana replied. "She decided to attack one of Laxus's lacrima in order to take herself out and leave Fried and me to battle it out. Apparently she wanted to show everybody that she loved Fairy Tail and that she just wanted everyone to accept her for who she is." Juvia all of a sudden stood up.

"I-I-I forgot I n-n-need to do something." And with that she went for the door quickly before anyone could stop her. Gray looked at Cana and giggled at the same time. Erza saw Cana and Gray and went to their table to see what was up.

"What was that all about?" Erza asked.

"Oh, just Juvia getting all embarrassed and shy around Gray again. We were telling gray about the whole Fried incident when Laxus was trying to over the guild and Juvia took herself out so she wouldn't have to battle me." Cana said giggling.

"She's always been like that. She is always caring about others and making sure they are safe. Like the time she and I were battling Meldy." Erza said. Gray and Cana looked at each other in confusion.

"I've never heard this story, exactly what happened in this battle." Gray said in anticipation.

"Meldy kept going after Juvia and ignoring me and Juvia was at her breaking point. I stepped in and tried to take her out but it was no use, Meldy kept attacking Juvia. It wasn't until Meldy said that she was going kill gray that she finally woke up. And let me tell you she was actually scary." Gray chuckled at the thought of Erza being scared. "She was a completely different Juvia" Erza continued. "Her strong feelings for her loved ones becomes her strength. After words she told me that Meldy had a sense link on both you and Juvia, so that no matter what pain Juvia felt you would feel it too Gray."

It was at that moment that gray remembered the pink light and his wrist suddenly appearing back then. He never did find out what that was all about. He never would have imagined that it was a sense link and that he was feeling all of Juvia's pain. Juvia's has done a lot of to protect him and make sure he's safe, and he's never thanked her not once. But how could he when she has been keeping all this stuff from him. But then again why would she tell him. She doesn't want him to worry about her or get angry with her.

Cana and Erza look at each other as they see that Gray is deep in thought. They both have a grin on their face as they have an evil plan up their sleeve.

"Gray, since you never knew about all of this why don't you go after Juvia and thank her for all that she has done to save you sorry ass." Cana said and Gray snapped out of his thoughts.

"Yeah, she just left two minutes ago I'm sure you can catch up to her." Erza said as she is pushing Gray towards to door.

"oi, oi, are you really going to do this to me right now." Gray said trying to stop Erza from pushing him.

"Listen you have to thank Juvia for all she has done because sadly none of us have. Plus, she saved your ass from Meldy killing you. So yeah we are going to make you do this." Cana said helping pushing gray. Finally Gray was at the door.

"Okay fine, I'll go find her." Gray said walking out the door. Cana and Erza high fived each other while they walked back to the table to hang out. Gray was looking all over for Juvia but surprising he couldn't find her. Mostly, because she was always stalking him wherever he went. He knew she did this, so he knew when she was always around. But this time she wasn't around. This had him worried as he started running now looking for her. But why was he worried? He was sure that she was fine. She can take care of herself like she has been all this time.

Gray looked ahead and saw that there were two guys in front of Juvia. He didn't want to interrupt them until he saw that one of them had punched Juvia in the face and sent her flying. He snapped and sprinted to the guys and punched the one who hit Juvia.

"G-Gray…sama?" Juvia said trying to get back up.

"Juvia" Gray said while running to help Juvia up. He saw that they have been beating her for a while now. Her cloths were all dirty and torn in some parts. The two men were in front of them with smirks on their face.

"This doesn't concern you pretty boy. Why don't you run along before you get hurt."

Gray clenched his teeth "bastards." He runs to punch them in the face once again. He could here Juvia telling him to stop but he couldn't. Before He could land the punch they suddenly disappear and then reappear behind him. "Their fast" he said as they both use their magic on Gray leaving him seriously wounded. He tried to get up but gets kicked on his side. Juvia steps in front of gray trying to protect him.

"Juvia….no" Gray said trying to catch his breath he tried to endure the pain.

"No more, please" Juvia pleaded to the two men. "Juvia will go with you but please don't hurt him anymore." The two men looked at each other and nodded.

"Alright then, we will let him be. Let's go water woman" the tall man said.

"May Juvia say her good byes first?"

"Sure but make it quick." Juvia nodded as to thank the men. She walked up to Gray who couldn't get up. She placed her hand on Gray's cheek.

"Juvia?" Gray looked at her in shock.

"It's okay Gray-sama. Juvia doesn't want you getting hurt because of me."

"Don't go! I'm sorry for not thank you for saving me. You're always protecting me. Always being there for me and I never thanked you." Gray started to have tears down his cheeks. He didn't want her to go. He cared for this beautiful water mage that stood before him. He was such an idiot. How could he not figure this out sooner on how he felt about her.

"Gray-sama, you don't need to thank Juvia for anything. You have done so much for Juvia that she was just trying to repay you back." She said with a smile on her face. "I have to go with these men so I can protect Fairy Tale, my home. If I don't go then they will do everything in their power to destroy it and I can't bare myself to let that happen."

"Juvia…" Gray didn't know what to say.

"Since this is Juvia's last good bye I want to tell you something to your face in person." She took a deep breath and exhaled. "I love you. Always have. Nothing will ever change that. Juvia knows you don't feel that same way about her and that's okay. As long as you're happy, then Juvia is happy as well."

Shocked by her words she then leaned in to place her lips upon his. He was in awe by her action. His lips took control over his mind and kissed her back. Her lips felt warm and moist while his lips were cold but soft. He didn't want her to leave. He wanted to stay like this. Juvia then parted from him with tears flowing down her cheeks while blushing at the same time.

"This will be the last time you see Juvia. Thank you for everything Gray-sama." One of the two men took Juvia by her arm tugging at it telling her its time to go. She turned around to start walking away from him.

"JUVIA, WAIT." Gray yelled at her but she ignored him. "DON'T GO! COME BACK!" He watched on as Juvia started to become more and more distant. It was painful to watch. His tears started flowing from his eyes. What had happened? He'd lost her, for good. Just like how he lost Ul he had no lost Juvia. Was this his fate to never be happy? To always lose things that were most precious to him. He tried to stand up and within a few minutes he was finally on his feet. That's when he clenched his fist in rage.

"No, I'm not going to let it end like this. I will find you Juvia. I don't care what it takes or how long. You're not going to get away from me that easily." Gray wiped his tears from his face that was now filled with determination. "Just wait for me, Juvia." He ran towards to guild so that he can inform his friends and try to get a strategy going to return Juvia home back to him.
