A/N: Hey guys! This is my second fanfic and I hope you like it! Please read and review. I also look forward to get criticisms that would help me review. Here we go!
Five years. It had been five years since Juvia had left Fairy Tail. It seemed shorter. Time went by fast. Now Juvia was part of another guild, a guild she started with the help of two new and dear friends. Without them where she would be, she didn't know.
No one called her the rain demon anymore. Now she was the Water Demon. She liked the name. She now understood the value of having a name like Titania or The Demon. It brought pride to oneself and gained respect from others.
Her guild was named Falcon Claw. It was famous and prestigious. They had around a hundred members, all of them very strong. The guild master was known as Emotia. No one knew her real name. They were just as rowdy and noisy as fairy tail was and had the same values. Protecting your nakama no matter what. That was what they all believed in.
Juvia was now an S-class mage and one of the strongest in her guild. She was equal in power to four others, her most treasured friends. She now had the confidence to face the strongest of opponents. Now she used magic without holding back. She fought with her true power.
The sun's rays were as beautiful as ever. The sun brought memories of Gray, the man who showed her the sun, the man she couldn't let go of, even after five years, even after she knew that she could never win his heart. He was the very reason she left and she still loved him.
Flashback
"So Gray," it was Erza "Did you make everything clear with Juvia?"
"No. I didn't." He replied.
Erza frowned. "Why not?"
"I don't think I like her that way. And besides who would like their stalkers anyway? She's creepy and scares me with her antics. I don't even understand what goes on in her head."
"But Gray!" Erza was speaking again "You could've told her to stop stalking you! You never stopped her from loving you! You've been making her hope for nothing!"
"She should've gotten the hint herself. I'll never like her in that way."
Slap!
Erzas hand was on Grays face. As Erza stormed away, Gray stood caressing his cheeks.
End of flashback.
Juvia still remembered that scene that she had chanced upon seeing. When she left the guild Gajeel wanted to go with her but Juvia had said no. She knew that Gajeel and Levy liked each other and she wasn't going to steal their happiness.
She was happy and content with her new guild and new friends. The guild insignia on her right thigh was her pride. She smiled at herself.
The guild had been very happy for the last few days as they had finally been recognized as an official guild. Now they were waiting for the Grand Magic Games to showcase their excellent power and unbelievable friendship.
Juvia would have remained lost in thoughts if she hadn't been called right then. "Juvia, the master would like to see you. He said it's important."
Juvia smiled. Only one thing could be important now.
It had been five years since Juvia had left. And no one knew why. Gajeel refused to speak about it, even to Levy. Ever since Juvia left, Gray's life changed. No more –samas, no one to cheer him on his fights with Natsu, no one to scare away his fan girls. Gray sighed. Wasn't this what he wanted? To escape from Juvia? But now that he had it, he wanted her back. To be honest, he missed her and her craziness. Life suddenly became very serious. The fun part of his life was gone with Juvia. When he told Erza about this, she was a bit mad at Gray. She told him that this was called 'love' and that if he couldn't accept it; it was good that Juvia was gone.
Gray was lifted from his thoughts when Erza started screaming for the guilds attention.
"Now now Erza, no need to get so worked up." Jellal said. Erza blushed scarlet and mumbled something. Those two… the way they treated each other would make people think that they were father and daughter or mother and son. Jellal had been freed by the magic council for his help during the dragons attack. He joined Fairy Tail but Ultear and Meredy, who had also been released, had declined the offer to join Fairy Tail. No one had heard from them for a long time.
"All right brats!" Makarov yelled. "Are you ready to win 30, 00,000 Jewels?" Mirajane coughed. "I mean, are you ready to win the Grand Magic Games again?"
"Yeah!" The guild roared in reply.
Fairy Tail had been holding the title of 'The Strongest Guild in Fiore' for the last five years.
"All right then," Mirajane started "this year only one team can participate from each guild. Each team can have five main members and two reservation members. The team should not have the guild master as a member and each team member must have the guilds insignia. The Games will start in two weeks and will be held in Crocus. The dates for the game shall be 1st-7th of July. Is everything clear?"
Everyone nodded in response.
"Now for the team members." Makarov said. "Natsu, Gray, Erza, Lucy and Wendy!"
A cheer went up the crowd.
"And the reservation members," he continued on "Gajeel and Jellal!"
Another cheer went up the crowd.
"So now go TRAIN!" Makarov yelled as the seven members ran out to train.
"You five shall be the team members and they shall be the reservation members." Emotia said. "We are not doing this only for victory, but to show the people out there our strength and values. Understood?"
The seven people nodded.
"You may leave for training now." She said.
The seven people left.
