A/N: Hello readers! I'm awfully sorry for the late update! Actually, I'm done with my exams and now they're giving out the papers so… The sad part is, I really couldn't cut a good figure this time *Sigh* Well, putting that aside, thanks to everyone who reviewed! This chapter is dedicated to all the awesome Grayza fans out there! Enjoy~!

Disclaimer: You know.

-Scar-

Erza often asked Gray how he got the 'X' marked scar on his chest. But if he had told her, the ice-mage would've been dead by now.

...

A shirtless, raven haired boy tiptoed into Fairy Hills, the only-girls dorm for the female mages of Fairy Tail. Whilst walking through the hallway, he kept chanting, "Room no. 9, room no. 9…" which, surprisingly, happened to be Erza's room.

"Room no. 9…!" he said in a low voice, looking at the number plate on a door which read: "Room no. 9."

He carefully pushed the piece of wood and slipped into the room. No sooner had he entered, he was welcomed by a sleeping Erza lying on her bed with half of her face draped by her scarlet hair. In a slow pace, Gray approached the girl. Before poking her on the face to make sure she was dozed-off permanently for the time being, the ice-mage noticed how… beautiful she was. His face immediately flushed red. He looked away and proceeded on his so called 'job'…

It was a challenge. Natsu told Gray that if he could ambush into the redhead's place and 'steal' one of her valuable items, the fire dragon-slayer would admit that the ice-mage was inferior to him. Yes, the challenge involved Erza. But, this time, the salmon haired boy knew what he was doing. Gray was perfectly aware of that fact. He's sure this was a suicidal mission but, Natsu would admit that he's inferior to him? He really didn't want to let that chance slip.

It didn't take long for Gray to find something which only Erza would have. His eyes were locked to a huge TV sized strawberry-cake which sat atop a table. "This'll do the trick, nobody has such a gigantic strawberry-cake other than Erza!" he said, his face beaming with excitement.

Suddenly, from god knows where, two swords came flying towards him.

"No one… touches my cake…" Erza mumbled as she turned over; still sleeping.

Obviously, she was talking in her sleep.

Gray immediately dodged the redhead's swords, but, hurt a part of his chest.

…

And that's how he ended up with his scar.

A/N: SHOUT-OUT!
