Scarlet meets Raven

Erza Scarlet ran like she had never ran before her. Her Scarlet hair swayed behind her black cloak.

"STOP THERE YOU...I SAID STOP..."A huge man ran behind her.

Suddenly she stopped. There was another big, burly man standing in front of her.

"Erza Scarlet, how many months have it been?Ah!6 months, your loan is due from last 6 months... That was the last deadline..."He said in his booming voice.

Erza frowned. She didn't want to do this but she had no choice left. She fell down on her knees and...begged, begged for her life.

"Please spare me Lord, I promise I would pay you the whole amount with the interest...just spare my life..."

The man took out his sword and placed it on her chin, lifting her head up. Erza glared at him."Oh look Dave another beggar for life we have here, so the great Erza Scarlet finally decided to bow down..."And the two men started laughing. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"But unfortunately dear, this crying and begging won't make us not pursue you..."The other man whose name was Dave said."Anyways our boss is just in love with the money or you, isn't that right Steve..."

"Yes Dave, and if this girl doesn't give us the money that means we take her to the Boss..."

Erza stood up, her hands clenched up in fists."I said I will pay you back..."

"But we want the money now!"Both of them said in unison.

Erza's patience had now gotten out of lifted her to punch Dave but Steve came behind her and grabbed her.

"Let go you idiots!"She cried.

Steve put his hand on her mouth."Now now, li'l girls don't shout ..."

Suddenly Steve felt pain in his back and fell down.

"Who was that..."Dave shouted.

Erza looked up to see Steve bleeding profusely.

"Your wrath you idiot..."a voice answered as its owned hit Dave in the back.

Erza looked at her saviour.A raven-haired guy about her own age, with a proud smirk on his face and...shirtless.

Dave got up and punched him on his guy thrust the sword in Dave's stomach and pulled it fell down on the ground,dead.

Erza was stood there,frozen at her place,until her saviour grabbed her hand.

"I guess you don't want to keep standing here the whole day..."He smiled as Erza nodded and they both ran away.

Erza lead him to her closed the door,pulled off her cloak and motioned him to sit down on a took one herself and sat down across him.

"So I guess you wanna introduce me to yourself..."He asked scratching his head.

Erza nodded."Fine then,the name is Gray Fullbuster, and I saved you because I wanted to..."he said with a huge grin spread across his face. He looked at the girl sitting across him. Red hair,weird,but still there's something about her which is making me stay...

"I am Erza for saving my life from those loan sharks back there..."she stood up and started cleaning the little cottage.

"Hmm, so Erza may I know why the loan sharks are behind you?"

Erza sighed as she turned towards the guy in her room and blushed."Why don't you have a shirt on? Can't you even figure it out, seeing the way I live?"

Gray looked around. The cottage seemed to be pretty small and run down, also it was situated in the wood, that is the outskirts of the main town."I guess I know. But, you seem to be pretty young to take a loan? And yes, I didn't intend to be shirtless when I met you, this is a hereditary habit. Is my body that offensive, Miss Scarlet?"He asked her with a smirk on his face.

Erza threw an apple at him which he caught."Shut up!And yes you're right about the loan thing;it was taken by my parents and they died in a car accident before repaying...the amount was pretty huge with the interest; they even took away our home in the town...but it wasn't yet enough..."Erza's face saddened. She misses her folks...Gray thought.

"And their loony Boss fell in love with you..."He added as he munched on the apple.

"Yeah,so it was either me or the money; and I prefer giving him the money than marrying me...and that apple wasn't washed..."Erza said as she turned to see him munching on the apple.

"Who cares? I keep eating unwashed fruits in the forest anyway..."

Erza's brow twitched."Who are you?"

"I am a wanderer, I keep doing petty jobs to earn a living..."he said with his black eyes, sparkling.

Erza cleared her throat."You seem to have many wounds, you seem more like a fighter than a wanderer..."

Gray smiled."Nice observation,I'm wounds are from fighting the wild animals, seems to me you've been watching me really closely..."

"Sh-shut and put on some clothes,I can't have a shirtless guy in my house...and by the way why are you even here?"Erza was fuming with was just so cheeky...and irritating.

"I don't have any clothes Miss Scarlet. And yeah,I'm staying here because, let's see...yes, I can help you with whatever work you do, which gives me a permanent job and house and you earn more profit...so that's it I guess?"

"What do you mean? I won't have any profit, I will have to pay you as well, won't I?"

"Oh no no no, you got me wrong, I won't take any money from you,you just let me stay here and give me food..."

Erza gave him a questioning look. Sounds like a great offer, I would get a lot of help from him...as well as a new friend...

Erza's cheeks turned pink."Fine you can, but don't you dare come near me or else..."

"Or else I know you'll kill me and blah blah..."Gray said getting up from the chair and moving up to the bed."I am gonna sleep..."

"Wait a second Mister that bed is mine..."

"And I saved you, which means you owe me, which means I have got the full right to sleep on it..."He pulled the covers on his face."Good Night..."

Erza sighed."Good Night..."
