Review Responds:

AsDarknessSpreads: I tried not to make it weird with Natsu's POV (luckily this chapter is Gray's POV) I do agree with the whole 'food' thing with Natsu, but I think when it comes down to it - when they're in trouble - I feel like Natsu would be more concerned about how to escape and (if he's with anyone) their safety. But in this chapter I did mention your thoughts! Lets hope you can find it! And please if you have any questions at all, just let me know! Thanks :D

The Chibi Overlord: I freakin' love your name! Anyway! Thanks so much (´°ω°`)

DreamscomeTRUEEE: It will be a nakama story, I just cant write that relationship that others like with these two. I'm trying to write them acting the same way Hiro writes them, but you never really know! Thanks for the review and question!

IcePrinceRay: Lol, I think that was the funniest thing I've ever seen, because (I'm hoping you're talking about the fairy tail episode where gray dances) I think Gray is the best dancer EVER! That episode made me laugh, cry (from laughter) and blush - because seriously, Gray was turning a man gay! It was beyond hilarious!

PokeTail: Only time will tell my friend, only time will tell!

BeautifulWonderland256: Thanks :D Alright, I hope you like this one, but you never know until you read it!

Suyai: Luckily there will be more of that, and dont worry I love seeing Gray suffer (mentally or physically) I'm also sadistic, so you've got a friend in me!

Guest(1): It is only friendship, like i told DreamscomeTRUEEE I just cant write that relationship, I do slightly enjoy some of those stories, but I just cant write them myself. Sorry -_-' But thanks so much for the review!

Just Me: I hope you enjoyed that cookie, with them getting out, I have a feeling that they would do whatever it would take just to get out - even without thinking (because c'mob this is Fairy Tail)

Guest(2): Alright, I'm thinking those two review are from you, but anyway yes, yes! Supernatural - my babies :D

A/N: This chapter, as you can tell from the word count, is at least 1,000 words less. However, this chapter did have a major 'I dont want to be written!' I really love writing this story, but I'm getting stuck on from last chapter up until the part that I'm excited about. So this chapter may feel like a filler…but dont worry, next chapter (which will come out next Saturday) will push the story forward!

Thanks so much for the follow favorites and reviews! They all mean so much to me.

Warning: I am typing on Pages and there may be a lot of spelling and grammar errors. Cussing is also in this story!

Gray


He tries to stand and mold any type of attack when they toss him and Natsu in the back of a truck. He gets to his feet before Natsu can and finds that with his and flame heads powers out of commission, they may not be able to take down these two big bulky men that are standing in the way of there escape. However, Natsu seems as if he hadn't assessed the situation before attacking, because the idiot jumps forward and tries to deliver a swinging kick towards one of the mans head.

The large man deflects it with a swift raise of his arm and Natsu falls backwards as the man pushes the Fire Mage away. The two guards chuckle as Natsu growls attempting to stand, but Gray leans down and places a strong hand onto his friends' shoulder. He agrees that they have to escape - that was the most important thing right now - but he also knew they couldn't escape head on. That would be a stupid idea, an idea that would surely kill (or injure) them both, meaning it was a Natsu idea, the success rate was spelled out just by the title.

He tightened his grip on Natsu when he felt the Fire Mage growl and attempt to stand, again. Natsu turned and faced him, his eyes squinted into a irked glare, but Gray held Natsu down and hoped to God that somewhere in Natsu's microscopic sized brain, that the idiot would understand. And by some miracle, Natsu sat back and crosses his arms, chains intertwining with his arms.

Gray sighs, because thank god, now he won't have a broken, raging Natsu on his hands. Without a signal, the two Fairy Tail mages turn and glare at the bulky men standing in their way. "We will get out of here," Natsu speaks up after a few minutes of silent glares passed between he four of them. One man chuckles and the other swipes his hand down, as if swatting a fly, and with that they turn and the doors to the back of the large car shut with a reverberating ram.

Natsu instantly turns into a drooling mess of snot and saliva when they feel the gravel kick out from underneath the tires and the car moves forward.

It takes a few minutes, but Gray finally slides down the cold metal wall and places his chained wrists on his bent knees. He doesn't really know what to do for the first few minutes, because he hasn't really understood what they've gotten themselves into. All he remembers, from after the attack with Abby and her 'pet' Bunny, he remembers waking to people rubbing him with oil. He was pretty sure he knocked out one of two men when he woke up - and he's pretty sure they didn't know he had woken up until his fist collided with the side of their faces. After that, people held him down as a woman dressed in a maid outfit came forward and spoke to him. He remembers right after they finished lathering him in oil and tearing at his hair, they pushed him out of the door and onto the plat from. He was confused up on stage and he had just woken up, so his head (trying to process everything) began to pound with an oncoming headache. Of course then he heard his name. Natsu had shown up out of no where, and for a split second, Gray thought he was there to break him out, but he wasn't. When his eyes cleared he saw Natsu chained from head to toe. He stared at Natsu, confused with a foggy mind, and in the distance he heard a number being called. After that the world became clear and Gray noticed the idiot was naked. A familiar fear jumped into his stomach as he thought of himself being nude, and for a split second he wondered if his stripping habit was contagious. He looked down and faced his fear (which wasn't really a fear) and cursed his idiocy because he was naked. A large man came up behind him and grabbed his arm pulling him off stage and once he was off stage and near Natsu, Gray unconsciously swung his arm around, catching the man off guard, and attempted to cast a spell. His arms were pushed outwards and he felt as if a few snowflakes popped out of his fingers before stuttering out like an old car. He looked down at his hands in bewilderment because, what the actual fuck was going on. He probably stood there to long wondering what the hell was going on because he felt a fist collide with his stomach and he doubled over gasping in surprise. He looked up, his hand wrapped around his torso and watched Natsu growl and threaten the man that had just hit him. However, Natsu was quickly yanked back by the chain attached to a large black collar wrapped around his neck.

"Clam down, Natsu-chan," a man dressed in a white lab coat walked forward, he twisted the chain, that was attached to Natsu, in between his fingers. The man had bright white hair raked around the top of his head and his strikingly blue eyes glittered with excitement. "Now, I'm sure you two are wondering what's going on, but I assure you nothing terrible." The white haired man laughed, "I'm sure you are glad that you weren't sold into sex slavery, or just slavery at that. With me, you'll be able to help years of research."

Gray hadn't truly agreed to the mans thoughts when he continued speaking to the both of them, but he was pretty sure Natsu was enraged at this point, meaning he was beyond hearing. The conversation with the white haired man continued but no further information was given to the two mages and they were escorted to this truck and thrown in the back.

Now Gray is even more confused than he was before, because now…now he and Natsu had been sold. Sold to do something, and he thinks thats the worse part about it, not knowing what they were sold to do. And for some reason, he thinks he would feel better if he knew he was going into slavery. All he knows is that he and Natsu are going to be helpful with research - research could mean anything, health, power, or strength. As of right now he just hopes Natsu can help him with a plan, well once the bastard wakes up of course.

His fingers crush into his palm and he feels his nails, that were trimmed maybe hours ago, dig into the skin of his palm. He's lost track of time, has it been a day, week - hell it couldn't have been a month (probably not), but still, he lost the time, all he knows is that he's starting to feel tired. But he keeps blinking the sudden stress and worry that has, somehow, crawled its way into his stomach.

He swallows and is forced to rake both hands through his hair, because the chain is too short to have both hands separated so far.

He doesn't want to admit it, even to himself, but he's pretty anxious right now. He's pretty sure those guards could take them out with one brisk punch - their strength seemed off the charts for normal strength when he received his greeting by a hit to his stomach. Now that he thinks about it…they did force him and Natsu around as if they weighed as much as one sheet of paper. He doesn't want to jump to conclusions, but that could be something to consider for future purposes.

Speaking of which, he looks over at Natsu and notices drool pooling around the idiots head. He smirks and leans his head back, shutting his eyes. "Pathetic," Gray says into the dark enclosed area. Natsu stirs slightly, and Gray thinks he's about to retort, but a sudden bump rattles their enclosure and Natsu moans in response.

Gray stays silent for a few minutes listening for anything in particular. No sounds change, despite having the constant rumble underneath the speeding truck. However, he suddenly hears a hissing that ticks him off. He sticks out his pinky, eyes still closed but squished together with more annoyance than anything, and digs his stuck out finger into his ear. When he doesn't get anything else but wax stuck onto his finger, Gray thinks theres something new going on. His theory is confirmed when the air begins to smell sweeter and his eyelids feel much more heavy than usual.


A hand taps upon his cheek and Gray moves away from the annoying gesture. Voices speak up above the muffled world and the hand returns to his cheek. He lets out a moan of annoyance when the tapping doesn't cease and he attempts to raise his arm to grab the person responsible, when he does so his name is called out. He opens his eyes and sees a face closing in on his.

With instincts kicking in, Gray swings his fist into the object and his target is forced back, clenching his cheek.

"What the hell," a voice calls out into the dark space.

Gray knows that voice and when he leans forward, the darkness isn't so dark and he can tell its the pink head idiot. "Natsu?"

"Ya," his rival, still holding the side of his face, snaps. "Hello to you too, asshole."

"What the hell?" he looks around wondering if they were still in the truck, and if they were, had they stopped? "Where are we?"

Natsu smirks into the darkness and sits back, "Don't know. I think we're still in the truck."

"You think?" Gray rolls his eyes, because really does this guy ever think?

"Surprisingly, ya." Natsu laughs and scratches the top of his head, going along with Gray's quip. "Of course then again, I do think more than you, ice Princess."

Gray scoffs at this, "The only thing you probably think about is food and Lucy's panties."

"I'm not the pervert here, pervert." Natsu clenches his right fingers together and he raises it into the air.

"Oh man, fantastic remark, idiot."

"You wanna go, bastard?"

"Ready whenever you are, flame brain." Natsu jumps forward and despite it being dark, Gray's eyes have adjusted to the dark and he can see Natsu more clearly than he had when he had woken. He too jumps forward and the two rivals tackle each other to the ground. They twist and turn on the ground, fists flying and only threats shared between the two.

Suddenly a bright light pours into their confined area and the two look up, blinking the sudden attack of brightness on their eyes.

The man dressed in a white lab coat walks forward and smiles happily down at the two that are punching and threatening each other. The man chuckles, "Children, must you always fight?"


A/N: All right there we are! Y'all have a fantastic week and I will see (update) you all next Saturday!
