A/N: Hello! This is my very first fic about Fairy Tail, so I apologize I would make some mistakes. I tend to change a little about the characters so I apologize again in advance.
Erza's POV
It was a very fine day. Here I am in the guild, eating strawberry cake on the counter.
"Erza, I'll just be out on a job." I saw Jellal come up to me. Yes, Jellal has already been freed of his past crimes and has now been accepted into Fairy Tail. "I'll be back as soon as possible." He smiled, waved then headed for the exit.
"Yeah. Good luck." I replied and took another bite. "Don't forget to be back early."
"I won't!" He said. "If it's you, I won't forget." He smiled and disappeared from view.
"He's really attached to you, isn't he?" Mirajane smiled at me as she wiped a marble plate. "I mean, he's always telling you everything an even updating you and stuff." She smirked. "Oho.. Is there some other meaning behind this?"
I sighed heavily. "It's not like that, Mirajane. It's just that we've known each other since we were kids. Normally you would really be attached to the person until you grow up."
She frowned and put down her plate. "Ehh, that's a waste."
I raised an eyebrow at her. "Hmm? Why so?"
"It's because you knew each other since you were kids and it's pretty obvious that he's very attached to you and all." She crossed her arms. "Sooner or later, one's feelings for the other will develop."
I took the last bite of the cake. "Mirajane," I breathed. "Now's not the time for love talk." I paused. "But... to tell you the truth, I actually see Jellal as someone more than a friend." I smiled and stood up. "Although, what we are right now is enough for me." I walked away. Right, what a nice lie, Erza.
"Erza!" I heard Natsu shout from behind me. "Let's go out on a job! This one's perfect!" I turned around to see him holding up a request sign.
"Sure." I sighed.
"But.." He frowned and looked around the guild. "I don't see Jellal around, I was planning to have him come as well." He scratched his head. "This one's an S-Class job so I need you there to be allowed. Letting Jellal come would be better too."
"Jellal already gone to work." I said.
"What?!" He shouted. "Is that so?.."
"Let's just wait until he comes back." Gray approached us. "He's Jellal anyway. He'll finish work fast."
"Yosh!" Natsu threw his fist up in the air.
I had my head on top of my arms on the counter. We all waited patiently for Jellal's return.
"TCH, is Jellal back yet?" Natsu groaned impatiently, scratching his head. "I wanna go out on a job already!"
"Then go on a job by yourself, pointy eyes." Gray snapped at him.
"WHAT WAS THAT, YOU DROOPY EYES?" Natsu's eye twitched and banged his head on Gray's.
"I said.. Go out on a job by yourself, third rate dragon." Gray hissed through his gritted teeth.
"Wanna fight huh, 6th rate underpants prince?" He snapped back at Gray. I sighed and stood up and walked towards them without them noticing.
"FIRE DRAGON'S-"
"ICE MAKE:-"
"Stop it." I stood in between them.
"-ROAR!"
"-LANCE!"
Their blows both landed directly on me. I heard everyone's scared gasps after I got hit by their magic. I stood there trembling in anger.
"E-E-Erza?!" Gray and Natsu suddenly hugged each other and backed off.
"PREPARE YOURSELVES." I gave them both a death stare and requipped to my pugatory armor.
"GYAAAH! Natsu run!" Gray shouted and pushed him away. He ran towards the exit and suddenly bumped into someone running towards him. He fell to the floor.
"Everyone! This is bad!" Lisanna stormed inside the guild panting, not even slightly taken aback from the bump. All eyes turned to her.
"Ugh. That hurts, Lisanna." Gray rubbed the part where his body hit the floor. "Watch where you're going."
"What's wrong, Lisanna?" Macao asked her.
She panted. "Jellal! He-" she crouched down and held her knees for support. She looked up to meet my eyes. "He had an accident in a far off mountain! Jura-san just found him lying unconcious under a pile of rubble!"
I requipped back to my original armor. "What? Is there some mistake? He can't possibly be victimized by som pe rubble!" I said fiercely. "He could've just dodged it or counterattacked it with his power."
"Yeah, that's right." Lucy agreed with me. "It's Jellal we're talking about."
"Where is he now?" Gray asked, standing up.
"He's here." Jura suddenly came inside the guild carrying an unconscious man in his arms. He was wrapped up in a cloth soaked with blood.
"I-I'll heal him!" Wendy ran towards them.
"Wait, Wendy." Jura stopped her. "I sense something different around him. Before you heal him, we should try to figure out what it is." He took Jellal to vacant room in the guild. We all followed behind him. Jura laid him down on the bed then Mirajane and Lisanna changed the blood-stained bandages.
"I found him under the rubble on a pool of blood." Jura said. "It seems that when I arrived, he could barely even muster any strength. Although when I approached him, the only thing he said was 'Who are you' and 'Who am I' then lost consciousness."
"So he lost his memories again huh?" Natsu said.
"I do have a magic for memory loss but.." Wendy fidgeted on her place as she stretched out her hand to heal Jellal. "It's not working." She sighed worriedly. "There is just a menacing magic I could feel coming from him." She put down her hands to her side.
"Your magic couldn't work?" Lucy asked her.
She shook and lowered her head. "I know this feeling. Something keeps me from healing his memories." She placed her hand forward towards Jellal and suddenly a bluish-white light emitted from her tiny palms. "But.. I can still heal his wounds." She puckered her lips. "I wonder why." Jellal's wounds have already disappeared and healed by then.
"This is probably the work of one of the demons of the book of Zeref." Master came into view. "His memories are probably sealed off in a dark strong magic." He turned his back on us and walked away. "Let him rest for now."
Everyone in the room followed the master's orders but I stayed behind..
It has already been 6 hours since Jellal was brought back to the guild.
I heard him groan softly on the bed. I winced and stood up from my chair to look over him. "J-Jellal.." I muttered.
He turned his head to me and stared at me blankly. "... Wh-who.. Are you?"
I stopped from my tracks and lowered my head. "Ah, I forgot." I said to myself. "I'm just a friend." I answered him. "You probably lost your memories when you were out on a job."
He blinked twice and furrowed his eyebrows. "Job?"
"Ah, you don't really remember anything, do you?" I said calmly, crossing my arms.
He shook his head and stared at the ceiling. "... But I do remember something." I raised my eyebrows. "Erza." He breathed. My heart started pounding harder. "What is it? Who is it? Where is it? I couldn't remember anything except that word." He sounded like he was in pain.
I came closer to him. "I'm Erza." I pointed at myself. "And you're Jellal."
He looked at me and smiled. "Ah, I somehow remember.. 'If it's you, I won't forget'" he smiled a little bigger. "But.. I still don't understand." He sighed. "Why were my memories lost? And if it's lost, why could I only remember you?"
"It's best if you try to find that out for yourself." I smiled and turned for the door.
"Wait, Erza." He said, reaching an arm towards me. "Could you.. Stay here with me tonight?" I blinked at him. "There are still a lot of things I don't understand and it makes me panic. But when I think of Erza, I feel calm."
"What are you saying?" I chuckled softly.
"Can you please stay here at least for tonight?" He pleaded.
"Alright." I surprisingly agreed right away. I sat on the chair beside him and stayed with him until he dozes off to sleep once more.
A/N: Alright, the usual short Chapter 1 is done. Please let me know your insights! And please leave them as reviews :) I hope you liked my first chapter :) Anyway, would you like to have some more chapters or something?
P.S. I'm sorry if ever I made mistakes on the way they call their magic, since I'm used to watching the Japanese dub. :( :)
