Disclaimer: Sorry for the crap I apologize if this is a terribly horrible story! Gomen! Be nice when reviewing please? Don't own anything
Have a nice day!
I knew this girl once. She was sweet, bubbly and I have to admit kind of cute. She has pale skin and light blue hair that curls at the shoulders and she has deep blue eyes. She's perfect. Well, she's perfect to me. But there's a problem, whenever she's around it rains. Everywhere she goes the rain just pours. She tries to make it go away by making those Teru Teru Bozu dolls hoping that rain will go away. For her the rain was her forever companion and also she thought of it as her forever enemy. Because of how the rain followed her around and how it made people resent her. Nobody wanted to be friends with the rain girl, so no one wanted to be friends with her.
That is, except for me. I liked her she was nice and cute. Even though the rain follows her around and she was shunned by the others I wanted to be her friend because believe it or not I kind of like the rain and I especially liked her. Aahh, how I reminisce on how we first met we were so little back then. Ten years ago. It was raining that day (well of course it was raining back then.)
She was under a tree with a discarded umbrella. She was crying so hard that she could've cried a river that drowned the whole world. She looked so sad that I absolutely had to help her. I walked over to her and greeted her in my most cheerful tone "Hello!" and I smiled at her. She seemed to have been startled by me and slowly seized her crying fit.
"Leave Juvia alone please." She said in cold yet calm voice
"Oh so your name is Juvia, nice to meet you my name is Kairo" I smiled at her and offered her my hand.
She didn't even look up.
As I awkwardly take my hand away I sat beside her.
"Mind if I sit with you?" I asked
"Why would anyone want to sit with Juvia?" she replied
"Well, why not?" I retorted
"Because Juvia is the rain" she said
"You? The rain? Sure you are and I'm the thunder nice to meet you" I laughed at her response I mean who wouldn't? (ok maybe you but to me it was funny ok? Well back to the story)
She puffed her cheeks like a pretty little blowfish and crossed her arms and said "YOU'RE LAUGHING AT JUVIA!" anger in her tone.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry" I quickly apologized wiping an almost tear in my eye
"What Juvia meant was that nobody likes Juvia because of the rain" she stated sadly
"You have made a big mistake Juvia-chan" I said in a very serious tone
"w-what?" she asked not confused and maybe a little bit frightened by how weird I was coming off
"YOU!" I said pointing at her "Have made the mistake of intriguing me. Please continue" I said closing my eyes and crossing my arms as I nodded my head and put a finger on my chin.
"U-Umm w-well I g-guess Juvia can explain" she stuttered
I nodded my head urging her to continue
"The rain you see follows Juvia. Wherever Juvia goes the rain follows. Drip. drip. drop." She said looking sadly at the rain while hugging her knees
Either I'm just weird but she looked (and still looks) adorable. "Why do you look so sad?" I asked
Juvia looked at me and said mater-of-fact "Because nobody like the rain so nobody likes me"
"Well that's not true!" I gave her a grin
She looked at me with red puppy dog eyes and titled her head to the left giving me a questioning look.
"I kind of like you!" I said cheerfully
"Well that's because Kairo-san is very strange." She mumbled quietly but loud enough so I could hear
"And what's wrong with being strange?" I said raising my eyebrows
"n-nothing I guess…" she muttered
"well you are a very interesting person Miss Juvia I hope to meet you again" I said standing up and leaving. I really didn't want to leave but it was getting late and I was getting hungry so I left but she stayed there under the train looking at the rain. I thought I'd never meet her again.
But of course I was wrong.
I met her again and that second meeting was the best day of my life.
That day started rainy. I woke up early in the morning inside my room I can see nothing but rain outside and seemed familiar to me almost nostalgic. (Little did I know that she was the reason why)
I get out of the house wearing jeans and a white button-up shirt my brown messy hair due to laziness in combing techniques. I grabbed my umbrella and headed for the park. Just because it was raining doesn't mean I had to be inside the house all day, right? Well half way to the park my umbrella decided to go satellite mode and spring upward and be utterly useless to me.
"Need help?" a man's elderly voice said
I couldn't see him so I paused not knowing who it was so was I swallowed hard and carefully spoke "Conscience? Is that you? If this is about what happened at the party last night I had nothing to do with it honest!"
"STUPID BOY! I AM NOT YOUR CONSCIENCE! I am but a humble vendor selling you magical merchandise." He explained
I still couldn't see him so I said the next thing that came to mind "Where are you coming from oh mysterious voice?" I said very dramatically
"LOOK DOWN BOY!" he said obviously very angry at my antics
I looked down and saw a very short old man wearing an overcoat and holding an umbrella while there I was standing there with my umbrella on satellite mode getting soaked.
"I see that you need an umbrella yes?" the weird old man said
"Yes?" I hesitantly answered
"Well I have one just for you!" he pulled out a pink umbrella it looked weird with hearts and a ruffled trimming with a heart and on the tip.
"ummm…" I was speechless when I saw the odd looking umbrella but I was getting soaked
"It has special powers too. This umbrella right here is the pink umbrella of LOVE. You will be able to find love when you use this umbrella" he said
"ookay… well um how much is it?" I asked
"Only for 100 jewels you'll get this special umbrella!"
I reached into my pocket and fished out about 10 jewels "Well I only got this much? Is it okay?"
"I'll take it" he grabbed the jewels handed me the umbrella so fast it was all in a blur and then he over enthusiastically ran off leaving me there confused with the 'pink umbrella of LOVE' still getting soaked. Seriously why haven't I used the umbrella yet. I opened the umbrella and I bet I looked so weird using the oddest umbrella ever.
"That wasn't weird all"
I headed for the park
I walked noisily to the park making as much sound as possible just so I can annoy people. While walking in the rain I spotted someone wearing a weird furry blue hat and that person had blue hair the curls by the shoulders and I was so totally hoping for that to be her. I mean who would wear something like that. In the very brief time I knew her she would definitely be the kind of person to wear a hat like that. As I walked over to the bench where she was sitting on I sat on the bench and then tapped her shoulder, she looked at me and said in a deadpanned voice "It's you"
"Juvia? I can't believe it's you! What are you doing here?" I inquired joy filling my tone
"Juvia is training and travelling this is Juvia's day off… What is Kairo-san doing here?"
"Hey! You still remember my name! I live here I'm training too! Hey what's your magic?"
"Water magic. What is Kairo-san's?"
"I can make pretty lights" I said proudly
"Pretty lights?" she almost looked like she was trying to suppress a giggle
"What's wrong about pretty lights?" I huffed
"You can't fight or protect yourself using pretty lights Kairo-san"
"But it's pretty"
"Yes you already said that."
"Here let me show you" I stretch out my hand for her to see and little sparks came out of my palm bright and with different colors form blue to pink. As I watched her face go from emotionless statue to beautiful girl with sparkling eyes, she looked so sad and lonely over here but she looked absolutely stunning when she smiles. I closed my hand and the lights went away and slowly her smile did as well.
"Hey it's your day off right?"
She nodded in response
"Well you wanna have fun on your day off right?"
"Yes?"
"Well just to let you know I am the BEST Tour guide ever!"
"Juvia seems to have trouble believing that"
"Oh c'mon let's go I have this really cool place I wanna show you!" I grabbed her hand and started running to where I wanted to take her
"Kairo-san you need to watch out there's a-!" Before she could finish that sentence I smacked head on into a very large tree
And after that I fell unconscious for I don't know how long.
When I woke up I woke up to the most beautiful face I have ever seen. Juvia's face.
She looked relieved
"Thank goodness! Kairo-san is not dead!" she said in glee
We were under an old tree. Big enough to hide us from the rain and keep us dry. (well as dry as I could get because I was pretty soaked even before I caught up with her) With my new pretty pink umbrella of LOVE by my side.
"Of course not!"
"Juvia thought that Kairo-san would never wake up!"
"how long was I out anyway" I said sitting up
"30 minutes? Or maybe an hour or so"
"WHAT?" I exclaimed standing up abruptly. I sighed sat back down to the ground disappointed "now we won't get to go to that place"
She smiled "It is alright with Juvia if we just sit here"
"Let's make this time productive! Tell watcha been up to?"
"Juvia has been traveling all over! She has been training too!" she said excitedly
"Cool I guess we've been up to the same things well except for the travelling. Did you meet like lots of people?"
"Yes Juvia has met lots of interesting people" she said with a sad smile
"So d'you have a boyfriend~?" I teased
"How many lovers would stay just to put with this day after day" she pointed sadly at the pouring rain. (Ok I have to admit that made me feel a lot guilty)
"One"
"hmm?"
"one lover. The right one will stay and put up with this day after day"
"Oh Kairo-san how many days I woke up with hope but only found the rain drops instead."
"Well as long as you stand there waiting. I probably sure that it would definitely go away"
"You think so?"
"Definitely! And you know what?"
"What?"
"This" I handed her the pink umbrella of LOVE
"This doesn't look silly at all" she said sarcastically
"Of course it does! What are you talking about?"
She giggled
"Well anyway this is the pink umbrella of LOVE"
"Umm?"
"They say that if you use this you will find LOVE"
"Really?"
"Yes" I said smugly
"C-can Juvia have it?"
"It's yours"
She looked positively full of joy. (And that umbrella really does work 'cause it has brought me to .)
"Wanna see something cool?"
She nodded.
I stretched out both my hand and closed my eyes and concentrated.
Before I knew it I had about ten glowing balls of light floating above my hands. When I opened my eyes I saw her smile and with my lights eliminating her face she looked dazzling. I made my glowing balls of light fly around us and as they flew they changed color and multiplied and shrank until they were little sparks that looked like fireflies that surround us. It was a magnificent sight. After my spectacular (if I do say so myself) light show we talked. A lot she told me about how she has gotten stronger that with her magic she can actually turn herself into water. She told me that there was a man named Jose who wanted her to join a guild and in return I told her about my findings and misadventures. We talked so long that it grew darker than before so we stood up and said our farewells.
"well bye" I said awkwardly
"Good bye Kairo-kun Juvia will be looking forward to meeting you again" she said hopefully
And walked away with the pink umbrella of LOVE and I just realized.
WHAT AM I GOING TO USE? And I looked down and her saw her blue umbrella on the ground. (Oh, right… why didn't I think of that)
While I was walking home I just realized. She called me –kun instead of –san. Yey! I must've been leveling up! Yes! That was awesome!
A few months after I saw some news about a guild called phantom lord attacking another one called fairy tail. And wouldn't you know that the guild phantom lord had a team called element four and that team had a "Rain Woman" with them. And of course that woman will none other than be Juvia. She even had a picture in the paper. She looked so sad in photographs but I absolutely loved her when she smiled.
A couple of years have gone by and I was strong enough to actually be called a mage. Though I wasn't in any guilds yet I knew exactly where I wanted to go. And that was where she was.
