All of you who reviewed thank you… I thought it would be a story doom to fail and no one would read it… I'm sorry about my verb and grammar and so on and so forth… No matter how hard I try to make it better the worse it would be… Sorry TT I'll still do my best to make this an interesting story. Once again thank you.
Thank you Amu for helping me with my writers block!
Gray collapsed on the cold hard floor.
He had been using his brain without resting for almost a week... His fatigue body would not allow him to move anymore. His still wet body caused a puddle around him.
Ah I really need to get out of here soon. I can't waste my time in a place like this. I need to quickly report back to Fairy Tail.
This place is no good for me… oh sure I have nice food, nice accommodation but if I stay any longer… I'll become a fish.
"Ah... there comes Natsu…" he whispered.
A reddish golden fish was swimming near the open door, followed by a yellow tailed fish.
"Ah… Natsu…so Lucy is with you huh?"
Suddenly a white and red stripe fish dart in front of 'Natsu' and 'Lucy'
"Oh I see Erza is here too." He started grinning idiotically, "What mission are you all doing today? Mind if I join in?" He asked.
Silence greeted him…
"WHAT IN THE FREAKING WORLD AM I DOING?" He slammed his palm onto his forehead.
"If I have time to be talking to fishes, I should be making escape plan no.8!" He scolded himself. He looked to 'Natsu', "Don't you agree?"
'Natsu' ignored him as always.
One should learn from his mistakes. So what was plan no.1 again?
Six days ago…
"Juvia will go and get some food for Gray sama." Juvia danced as she opened the door and went through the water becoming water herself.
It seems to him that Juvia was the only one able to get out. So he planned an ambush. He waited for half an hour before she came back. When she entered…
"Ice cage!" He smiled at his handiwork. The rain girl was stuck in his cage, she blushed, "Gray Sama… Juvia never knew you wanted so badly for Juvia to stay with you."
Juvia turned to water and walked through the cage.
"Ice Geyser!" Gray shouted as he tried to freeze her. She dodged him, having parts of her coat frozen.
"Gray Sama… Juvia also wants to stay with you in here for an eternity but Gray sama needs food and other necessity to survive. So Juvia cannot be selfish."
Juvia smiled, "Here you go, Gray sama, Bento for you." She held out a suspicious box.
Gray flinched, "How can I possibly eat this? How do I know there is no poison?"
"Juvia made this…herself…" Juvia looked away as tears stated forming.
He bit his lips, if he froze her fully he would still be unable to leave. He sighed and accepted the box.
Juvia beamed, "Please eat it all up. Juvia can make more if you want."
He opened it, on the rice there was a suspicious heart in it. But overall, it looks good to him and surprisingly it taste nice. Through out the whole time, Juvia sat there and watch him.
Five day ago…
"Juvia…" Gray called out. She spun around at the mention of her name, "Yes Gray sama?"
"May I speak to you?" He asked. He had noticed from the previous day that the girl meant him no harm. So he thought he should make use of it and try to figure out other ways to get out.
Juvia turned bright red, "Of…Of course. Juvia would be glad to."
Gray motioned her to take a seat beside him. She blushed ever harder till both of her ears are red.
"Juvia… this room… why is there no water entering into this room?" Gray asked.
"That is because Juvia cast a spell to not allow water to enter through the door… But if the walls were broken then water would flow right in… And Juvia would have to cast another spell again." Juvia replied enthusiastically, with lots and lots of animated action to make the conversation between them more interesting.
Gray forced a smile, praying that Juvia does not see what he was doing, "Then how does one get in and out of the room?"
"They need Juvia in order to enter unless they are capable of breathing underwater. Don't worry Gray Sama. You are well protected here. No one would be able to find and harm you." She replied confidently, her eyes were sparkling with confidence as she spoke.
Gray sighed, "Thanks Juvia."
She grinned, "Anything for Gray Sama!"
She was happy, He wanted to cry. So let's just say his information gathering FAILED!
Four days ago…
Gray sat in the blue chair, looking out of the opened door. If only he could get rid of the water. He bit his lips and walked towards the door.
"I'll just freeze the water!" He smirked, believing that he had a brilliant plan. He concentrated and the water started freezing. He stopped suddenly.
Gray! What's with you? Now I have an ice cube blocking me!
He wanted to screamed and nearly screamed when he saw Juvia on the other side of the ice block.
"Gray sama… You don't have to be shy around Juvia… It is okay. Juvia will do her best to help you overcome your shyness." She tried to comfort Gray, giving him a gentle smile.
Gray wanted to strangle her.
What is wrong with this girl?
He wondered.
Three days ago…
The ice was broken… Juvia stood at the doorway blushing badly. Her eyes set intently on Gray's body.
"Huh? What are you looking at?" He asked as he looked down at where Juvia was staring at. He found himself staring at his Fairy Tail tattoo, as he continue to look down, he realise he was naked.
"Ah crap! Why am I still doing this at a time like this?" He cursed. Then he noticed that Juvia was muttering and trembling.
"Ju…Ju…Ju..,JUVIA'S NOT READY FOR THIS!" She shrieked as she dashed out of the room.
"Huh what just happen?" he questioned the fishes.
Shit… now I am talking to fishes
Two days ago…
Gray grabbed Juvia's hands.
"Juvia… Erm… I'm dying from boredom. You mind letting me out for a while?"
"A…A…A Date?" Juvia stuttered.
"Yes a date… I mean no!" Gray tried to correct her but she was in her own world already.
"Gray Sama has already made the first move; Juvia must answer lest Gray sama thinks Juvia is rejecting him which Juvia will never do... Ah but what should Juvia wear?"
What is seriously wrong with her? Whatever. When she lets me out, I'll just attack her and escape.
"Gray Sama… Please give Juvia a minute." And she ran to the closet to pick some clothes and then ran to the washroom to change.
Gray yawned. Seriously, this girl is driving him nuts and he is really not having enough sleep.
When she came out Gray was nearly dozing off.
"Gray Sama! We can go now!" She shouted excitedly.
Gray forced his eyes open.
Juvia put her hands around Gray's arm and led him out of the door. He smelled freedom… Or so he thought. Their 'date' was only limited to fish fish and more fish. He was always underwater; at least he saw two fishs that resembled Erza and Lucy.
"Can we go up for some fresh air?" Gray asked, hoping her answer to be yes.
"Gray Sama is still too weak to go up. Juvia will bring Gray sama up when Gray sama is healthier." She replied.
"Oh I am feeling much better! Can we go up today?" He forced a big smile.
She smiled and shook her head, "No, no, no. Yesterday Juvia saw your…"
She blushed suddenly, "Yesterday Juvia accidently saw your wound, and it is not healed yet."
Of course not… I can't heal properly in this hell hole. He silently cursed the girl. As the 'date' dragged on, Gray found his eyelid getting heavier and heavier.
Juvia was talking half way when she saw Gray fast asleep. She slowly led him back to the room and laid him on the bed. She slowly lifts up his top to check his wounds. She smiled, "Juvia's really glad that Gray Sama is healing well."
She stared at Gray's sleeping face and plucking up her courage she slowly touched the contours of his face. When her fingers reached his slightly parted lips, she leaned down and gave him a gentle kiss.
"Good Night Gray sama." And she slept beside him.
One day ago…
Gray woke up and found Juvia sprawling all over him. He pushed her away gently, her eyes fluttered open, "Good morning Gray Sama… Ah…" She stared at his lips before looking away, "Wha…What do Gray sama want for breakfast?"
He was silent, his mind wondering if he should simply just defeat her or not.
He glared at her and with his mind made up, "Ice make Lance!" he attacked her suddenly.
His ice went through her body.
"Jubia's body is formed of the rain itself…Gray Sama… It is impossible for you to defeat Juvia." She looked away shyly, "Though Juvia know that Gray sama wants to proof to Juvia that Gray sama is strong." She smiled, "Don't worry, Juvia believes that Gray Sama is very strong."
"Tch." Gray put his fist to his palm, "Ice make arrow!" His ice arrow hit the wall. The air turn cold, he was dead serious.
"Gray sama…" Juvia whispered, "You should stop…"
And the wall broke… Water started gushing in.
"Because you are going to cause a hole in the wall…" She continued as if there is no water coming in.
"Shit!" Gray cursed as he tried to freeze the water. Time was not on his side.
Juvia stood still, concentrating on pushing the water back. When she was done, Gray was already down from using too much magic.
"Gray sama…" She looked around the wrecked room, "Don't worry Gray sama, Juvia will get nice clothes for you." And she was gone.
A few hours ago…
Gray was getting desperate. Juvia had left to get him more food. He just wanted to leave. He looked through the open door. A fish that resembled Natsu swan past him, he closed his eyes.
"I should just do it huh?" He asked the fish. To him it seems that the fish nodded.
He clenched his fist and inhaled as much air as he can, "Here goes…" And he jumped straight through the door.
He started swimming upward as quickly, he could feel the strong pressure in his chest, making it feel like it was about to burst. He kept swimming.
Just a bit more…Just a bit more…JUST A BIT MORE!
Air was escaping from his lips as he kept swimming or floating upwards. And he swore he saw the 'Natsu' fish laughing at him.
Looks like I am really going to die here…
He closed his eyes to surrender.
He woke up to the blue ceiling… blue wall…blue bed… And he was on the cold hard floor.
"Gray sama… Are you okay? Juvia was so worried! Gray sama… You…you must miss Juvia a lot to want to come out of the room to meet Juvia." Juvia touched his face and smiled, "Don't worry, Juvia will always be with you. Now Juvia have to go and get more clothings for Gray sama because you like to misplace them."
And there he was lying on the floor. His still wet body caused a puddle around him and he laid there thinking that blue is a horrible colour… Gray could feel himself going crazy, well he started talking to fishes.
At least Natsu was not the one locked up, if not he would already be a fish. He chuckled when he saw the Reddish golden fish, "Don't you think so, Natsu?"
One should learn from his mistakes. So what was plan no.1 again?
Okay... Next Chapter comimg up is Gray Meets Phantom...
