AN: Ohayo! I edited this chapter *^*
Gray sat in his apartment, crying as hell. He didn't know what to do. The only he could think about was to cry, to cry out the pain. Could it really be this painful? He has already lost his parents, Ur, and now Juvia. Was fate playing with him? Should his life really be like this?
"Gray! Come out there! We need to talk!"
Erza's voice was going through the whole apartment. The ice mage started to suffer in pain. He would not only have pain in his heart.
"SQUINTY EYES! OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!" Natsu screamed.
Gray didn't care. He would be beaten up of Erza than walk out. It was hurting to even stand up.
"Gray … Please open", Lucy said with a calm voice.
No, he wouldn't open.
The raven-haired boy started to cry even more for only the thought about to abandon his friends. But he couldn't take that Juvia was dead. She took suicide. What else?
Why did she do that? Was it meaning to hurt him this way?
Erza and the rest finally leaved Gray's place. He started to cry louder and was shivering. Could he really take this much pain? God really hates him.
He started remember the first time he and Juvia met at the Phantom place. She was really weird, but he really liked her. Gray couldn't really say what it was. Everything with her then was so different from now. He stopped the rain for her.

"Drip, drip, drop. Juvia is the rain woman of 'elemento four'", the strange woman said.
Gray was really surprised about to meet a woman.
"'Elemento four'?"
"To think that you could defeat two of the elements. However, Juvia and Aria are not to be taken lightly", Juvia said with a serious tone.
His glance darkened. This was ridiculous.
"Sorry, but it doesn't matter if you are a woman or even a child. I don't go easy on anybody who hurts my nakama."
She was quite for a few seconds. Then she started to blush. She turned around and started to walk away.
"Y …Yes … I have lost this battle … farewell", she said with a embarrassing voice.
What?! Was this a joke? She gave up?
"Wait a sec! What the heck was that?!"
He couldn't even explain a word. Was she going to give up that easy? An "element four"!
The woman stopped a bit forward him, and was about to faint.
"Wait up woman! You can damn well stop this giant!
She turned around. He was surrounded by water. He couldn't breathe at all.
"Water lock!" the woman shouted.
A surprise attack? How harsh!
"Oh no! How could I wound him so? I must release him!"
The woman started to panic, which he did also. He froze the water and brooked out. Juvia was so surprised that she didn't say a word.
"You got me good there, didn't you?" he said while he was trying to stop his bleeding from his right side.
She was blushing even more and gasped in surprised. He took off his shirt and she was almost fainting.
"Ice make: LANCE!"
The lances switched through her body, but it didn't affect at all. It was just like her body was made of liquid. Big holes was on her body. Gray was really shocked. How could that be possible?
The woman looked down on the ground.
"Juvia's body is made of water. No attacks can hit Juvia. Drip, drip, drop."
"It's made of water?!"
Gray couldn't say a word. What was she?
She almost was starting to cry when he looked at her.
"Farewell, sweet flower of love. Water Slicer!" she shouted and slices of water attacked him.
He couldn't dodge it. Gray almost tripped, but stood soon steady on the ground.
"Ice make … BATTLE AXE!"
A big axe cut through her body, but it didn't affect at all.
"It is impossible to defeat Juvia. There's still time for you to be saved", Juvia said sadly.
What crappy bullshit that woman said. Gray is from Fairy Tail! He won't lose!
"I request that you bring Lucy Heartfilia to me. If you do so, I shall speak with your master and convince him to withdraw", Juvia said.
Lucy? What the fuck did she wanted Lucy? Could she just stop saying screwed up things. This was ridiculous. That woman was really nuts and Lucy is his nakama. He would rather die than hand over her to her.
"Oi, quit saying screwed thing. Both sides have come too far to just stop fighting now." Gray took a pause.
"Lucy is our nakama. I won't hand her over even if I die".
Juvia stopped. She dropped her umbrella on the wet ground. She gasped and took her hands on her face and started to scream. The bluenette stopped scream and started to cry instead. What the fuck was happening? Juvia shook her head liked she heard something terrible.
The she started to scream again.
"JUVIA CANNOT FORGIVE THIS! JUVIA SHALL NEVER FORGIVE LUCY!"
It started to rain boiling water. It was burning on his skin. Why was she mad at Lucy? The ice mage didn't notice that a boiling water tsunami was going in his direction. He tried to ice make but the boiling water was too fast. His magic couldn't keep it up. He must buy himself some time. Gray ran and jumped into a window while the water was chasing him.
"Ice make …"
He landed on the hard floor. The water was just above him.
"… SHIELD!"
A big ice shield appeared over him to protect him from the boiling water. When the water hit the shield it started to melt. Impossible!
"My jealousy is boiling!" Juvia screamed at him.
What was that supposed to mean? Gray couldn't think now. The water hit him and he thought he was going to kill him. It burned so much. It was hotter than Natsu's flames. The water released Gray and dropped him on the floor. Soon it attacked again. It was so hot. The water made the raven-haired boy fly up in the air. That bastard. If he only could freeze something. He hold his hand in front of the boiling water.
"Freeze!"
And the water froze. Gray was kind of proud of himself.
"Impossible … My boiling water … it's freezing?!" Juvia shouted.
The ice mage grinned. He didn't notice that he held her right boob in his hand.
"And not only that … Juvia is so embarrassed …" she whispered embarrassed.
AAAAGGHHH! Impossible! It was so embarrassing. He actually freeze her in this position.
Juvia made an embarrassed face in the ice. Gray couldn't talk. So awkward!
"I …! No …! I'm so sorry!" Gray tried to explain.
She looked surprised at him. He released her from the ice. The water mage started to cry again.
"D … do over!" he said.
"No", the bluenette answered. "I can't hurt you."
Now it was his turn to get surprised.
"You 'can't hurt' me? You mean you have no chance to win?" Gray asked.
Juvia shook her head.
"I'm stronger than Lucy. I can protect you".
Huh? Protect him? Why would she do that? They just met and they are enemies.
"Protect me? Why would you do that?" he asked.
"Because I lo … lo …"
She tried to say something. The rain was getting stronger. When did it do that?
"Did the rain just get a lot stronger?" he asked.
"This is so annoying!" Juvia said.
The rain was so depressing and gloomy. He never liked rain. Where he lived it was snowing instead.
"Oh, the rain is so gloomy …"
The water mage stopped. She was about to cry again.
"YOU ARE JUST LIKE THEM!" she cried out.
What was it with her? Did he say something wrong? Fine, he should just freeze her again but he was attacked of boiling water again. He just freeze it again liked he did before. When he realized that it won't freeze he was about to get worried. Was it hotter than before? He flew with the water and tripped again, but he won't lose to someone like Phantom! He froze the water again. Gray used all his power to freeze the water again. He used so much power that he even froze the rain. Minimal snowflakes hit the ground.
"Ice make … GEYSER!"
A big mountain of ice crushed Juvia and froze her. The ice mountain broke and the water mage was falling from the building. Gray slide down the roof and took her and before she was about to fall.
"Whatever what happens, I won't let you go", the raven-haired boy said while he held the woman in his hand. He pulled her up to the roof again.
"How do you feel? Have you cooled off?" he asked her with a smile on his face.
The sky was about to clear up. Light hit Juvia's face. She looked really beautiful.
"So these are … clear skies?"
"Yes, beautiful, isn't it?" Gray answered her.
She nodded.
"So … are you ready for round two?" he asked her with a smirk on his face.
She didn't answer. She fainted and looked really happy for some reason. What did just happen?
XxX
He remembered that day liked it was yesterday. The first time they met.
She really embarrassed him sometimes, and named spell in his name and called him "Gray-Sama" every time. Who will do that? Juvia, Juvia, Juvia! There wasn't someone else. It would never be someone else. She was the one who actually made him to live one, even though his losses. Sometimes she was annoying; blind of love, but that didn't bother him at all. He just pretended that he got annoyed, so no one could realize his real feelings, even though it was kind of obvious that he liked her.
He had luck to don't get someone to realize. Gray just wanted to vanish and come back when he felt for it.

Juvia walked with Maria together through Magnolia to Gray's apartment. They've search for him in hours. It began to be dark outside. The sun was to settle down in the horizon. The sky was in a bright pink color near the sun. Over Juvia and Maria it was only still light blue.
"Are Maria-san sure that Gray-Sama is there?" Juvia said slyly.
Maria nodded.
"Of course he is. He wasn't in the rest of town. Where would he be else?"
Maria was right. Juvia was so naïve to understand that Gray couldn't be celebrating her death. Would he mourn it? Juvia was insecure. What would Gray do?
He maybe didn't care.
They stayed at his door. Should the open it or just stay where she was.
"Just go through it", Maria said to her.
Juvia did as she said. It was just like go through water for her. It didn't feel anything. When she came in she saw a sleeping Gray. He sat on the floor and it was just like he was crying in his sleep. He shed tears. He wasn't asleep. He started to cry even more. Juvia looked at Maria. She was frozen and just opened her mouth.
"Gray …" she mumbled.
Juvia nodded. It was surely her son. Maria started to cry also.
"I … I thought I would never see him again", she said and Juvia hugged her.
"Me too", she mumbled.
The bluenette released the hug and walked to Gray who sat shirtless on the floor. She hugged him, but he couldn't feel her. He mumbled things she couldn't understand. But she knew that he was mumbling her name.
"Juvia … please come back", he said liked he knew that she said beside him.
"Come back … I love you".
Those little words made her cry and shed tears. Her world was falling in pieces and she didn't know what to do. Right now she only wanted to come back.
"Maria", Juvia said. "I want to go back. Please, I am begging you. Send me back to him!"
The brunette nodded and a light came through her hands. Juvia saw only a white light. Her world turned around so fast that she was already dizzy. Everything went black? Was Maria joking with her? Did she die instead? She couldn't say anything. Her eyes opened and she sat beside Gray again. But now she could feel him for real.
