This is my first time writing a fanfiction so I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own FairyTail

Summary: Before Gray Juvia was in an abusive relationship and the man came back for Juvia. Will she go back in fear? Or will someone stop him?

Some bruises don't vanish

The Fairy Tail guild was surprisingly peaceful and calm. Mostly everyone was on a mission or at home relaxing from the their own trips. In the hall in the corner sat Gray, Gajeel, Levy and Panther Lily.

"Why are you even sitting with us? Just cause you and the Rain Women are together doesn't mean we have to be all buddy-buddy." Gajeel said with the same angry look on his face.

"Gajeel! Be nice!" Levy Yelled at the Iron Dragon Slayer that is sitting next to her.

"Well since you and Juvia are such good friends I might as well try to be social to you. Even though I can't stand you or your music half the time" Gray said with a bored tone.

"Don't ever make fun of my music!"

"Well maybe if you played half decent I wouldn't have to!"

At this point they are both stand up in each others faces until Mirajane walked over with a couple of beers."So Gray, with Natsu on a mission you have to fight with someone huh?" Smiled Mira as shy set the tray down and added, "Oh and if Juvia all right? She stopped by to tell me the mission went well but she sounded like she was upset and I saw a bruise on wrist. She refused to get it looked at and stormed off."

"Wait she got back? Why wouldn't she come over to tell me?"

"Something doesn't sound right. Gray you should go talk to her." Levy told Gray with a worried look on her face.

"I will, I'll see you guys later" Just when Gray was going to walk away from the table he felt a hand gripping his bicep. With a look over his shoulder he saw Gajeel with a dark look in his eyes "What I gotta-"

"Bring up the name Kano. If she starts to tremble come and get me. I'm serious." Gajeel let go of Gray and sat down and still had that dark look on his face. It seemed like his fiance couldn't get him out of it. Gray couldn't think about that right now. All he could think at was his girlfriend and the name Kano.

By the time Gray got to Juvia's apartment and got his ice made key from his pocket and opened the door it looked like no one was home. The apartment was clean, like always, and all the lights were off. Except one, the bathroom. Gray ran to the door and opened it slowly. "Juvia? Are you okay? Mira said you were at the hall but you ran off." When you opened the door all the way all he saw was bubbles and Juvia's head sticking out of them.

"Juvia wants to be alone." Her voice was almost emotionless but Gray was able to pick up the hurt in her voice. Whenever he was around she was always happy and cheerful. She never wanted to leave his side. Gray stepped closer to the tub.

"I am not leaving until you tell me what happened on your mission? Did they not pay you? Did you have a problem with it? You told Mira it went well so I don't know what could be wrong." . Gray kept thinking of all the things that could have been wrong but kept drawing a blank. That is until he remembered what Gajeel said. "Does it have something to do with Kano?"

After the name left his mouth Juvia started to tremble, "I don't kn-know what you-your talking about." She started to sink lower and lower every time her voice quivered. Tears started showing at the brim of her eyes.

Gray did not know what the guy did or who he was but he had a burning passion to kill the guy. "What happened Juvia." It wasn't even a question but a demand.

Juvia looked into the man she loves and said, "What is done is done. There's no going back" Emotionless Juvia took over again and stared back at the wall.

Gray knew he was getting nowhere, so he went to get the one person who did. Gajeel.

BANG BANG BANG! "I'm coming! For fucks sake." Gajeel stomped to the door and swung it open to see Gray panting and out of breath. "This better be good." Gajeel leaned against the door frame making it obvious the he is not inviting him in.

Gray caught his breath and said, "Tell me about Kano."

Gajeel sighed, "I was afraid of this" Then the darkness took over, "When I see him I'll kill him like I should of years ago." The Iron Slayer growled the words. No one ever saw him this mad. Ever. It was a scary sight to see.

"Gajeel I need to know what happened." Gray was getting more worried by the way the dragon slayer was acting

"I'll explain on the way. I'm coming with you, I need to see if she is okay for myself.", Gajeel went to Levy who was in the living room and kissed her goodbye and told her he will be back soon. Within minutes he was shoving past Gray to get to Juvia's place.

Gray was sitting in Juvia's living room waiting for Gajeel to come out of Juvia's room. He was the one that got her to finally get out of the tub and get dressed. On her way to her room where Gajeel was he saw her covered from head to toe. She didn't even give him a glance. He felt so useless and out of the loop. He didn't know what was wrong, who Kano was and wouldn't get her to listen to him. He felt like a horrible boyfriend and a lousy friend. What felt like forever, Gajeel came out of the room and stood in front of him.

"Meet me at the guildhall at 8 AM tomorrow.", he started to walk away but then stopped in his tracks. "Go talk to her. She needs you." Gajeel walked out of the apartment while Gray ran to his girlfriend.

Gray opened the door slowly and saw a Juvia crying, sitting on the edge of her bed. He kneeled infront of her and whispered, "Please talk to me."

Juvia looked up at him and stood up."Juvia can show you." Slowly she took off her shirt which showed bruises of hand marks around her right wrist and around her throat. Then there was bruise deep and dark on her stomach and her sides. Next she took off her pants that showed bruises on her left thigh and a handprint on her left ankle as if someone grabbed it to keep her from moving her leg or dragging her. Gray was beyond pissed. He didn't know what to say. All he kept thinking was how to kill the man who did this to her.

"He did this?!" Gray shot up. He was still seeing red.

"Gray-sama, please don't yell." Her whisper sounded painful. Almost like it was hard to talk. But he remembered her sounding fine earlier.

Gray took a deep breath and asked, "Explain everything to me."

Juvia sat down and looked at her hands. "His name is Kano. Juvia met him when she was still in Phantom Lord and started dating. Juvia wasn't in love, just wanted to be loved. Kano was always flirting with other girls and sleeping around. When Juvia found out she ended everything. But then things got worse. Kano said that Juvia was his and that he would mark her to prove it. That is when he started leaving bruises. Juvia was scared to leave and saw him all the time. It went on for about 3 months till Gajeel walked in my apartment and witnessed the beating. Gajeel saved Juvia, and Juvia saved Gajeel from murdering him and going to jail. Kano was in a coma for 5 months and last Juvia heard he left the guild and moved to another town. Turns out he was in the town that the mission was at. He found Juvia as she was leaving the town and in the woods. He was not happy that Gajeel did that to him and that Juvia was with another man. Juvia was scared and couldn't move and he beat on me. Juvia tried to run away but her yanked her back by her ankle and kicked her thigh. Then Juvia realized that he can kill her and blasted him with water and ran away." Tears were streaming down her face.

Gray was shocked. Shocked that even a strong independent women can be a victim of abuse. Gray held her as she cried and told her that everything will be okay. Gray vowed to do anything to keep him away from her at any cost.

Eventually the couple fell asleep and Gray woke up at 7 AM and got ready to meet Gajeel at the hall. At first he was confused when Gajeel told him to meet up with him tomorrow. But after what Juvia showed him and told him he knew this guy had to pay for what he did.

No one hurts Juvia. No one.

The End

So tell me what you guys thought I hope you liked it. It was really hard to write Juvia talking because she does talk in 3rd person but she does say "My love" or "My Darling" to Gray which is 1st person but i'll figure it out more when I write. I was thinking about making two other part. One where it is mainly about Gajeel through the story and then another one where it is Juvia. But I will leave that up to you guys. Thanks for reading :)
