Chapter 4: Crying Blood

"How can you be so ignorant to the fact that I'm a be in this pain forever. When you touch me I go insane. Fall apart like a wave of a baby feather. You believe that you're holding me. Can't you see? I'm crying blood, I'm crying blood. I'm crying tears from my eyes that I can't deny and I am falling like a comet from the broken sky." Crying Blood by VV Brown

"Why are you back in town?" Cana asked with a perplexed look on her face.

Gildarts merely set a tankard down in front of his daughter taking a sip out of his. Cana let out a sigh and took a sip of her drink, eying her father. He looked somewhat different…smelled differen. A new aftershave maybe…? She pondered, noticing he was also cleanly shaven. It was weird not to see stubble on his face.

"You didn't have to hit Macao so hard. I know he deserved it but you broke the wall of a fruit store."

Gildarts starting laughing nervously, "You know I can't hold back Cana"

"I'm not sure weither to be happy or annoyed. Butting into my problems. You just made his point I guess…" Cana muttered, taking another big gulp.

"Well the owner of that store is a long time friend. Well, I guess all of Magnolia is used to me breaking stuff too…" He watched his daughter run her finger along the rim of the wooden tankard.

"Dad…why did you come back to town?"

"You called me. I was in Hargeon when my card went off."

"I didn't call you"

"But my card went off"

"I don't know why or how since I ripped it up but I didn't actually call you." Cana downed her drink and slammed it on the counter. "Oi bartender. Give me another!"

"Not till you pay your tab!" the bartender shouted back.

"It's alright Nicolai, I'll pay her tab."

The bartender merely nodded before sliding another beer down the counter towards the two.

"Either way im glad I came back. I'm worried about you Cana."

"Why?"

"Because we haven't really spoke since you…confessed. I feel like I've just made things worse for you."

Cana was silent for a moment and just watched her drink, waiting for her father to continue. A few moments went by in silence and she glanced over to see him staring at her.

"Er…what? Something on my face?" Cana became nervous.

"No…I just somehow feel like I'm responsible for you being with Macao. I wasn't around to be a father and tell you no. I can see why you would go for him. Womanizing…charming…unreliable." Gildarts sighed, "although I think me being with so many women was me trying to find another Cornelia."

"Mom? Will you find another…?"

"Already did. She's right in front of me."

"Eh? Me?" Cana seemed confused, heat rising in her cheeks.

"Being with Cornelia's daughter…my daughter is enough for me. I don't need another woman. I just want to be with her…and be her father." Gildarts smiled now, patting the brunette on the head.

Tears started to threaten her eyes and she bit her lip. "Won't it be awkward for you?"

"I'd be lying if I said it wouldn't be weird…at first. But you're my daughter and I think it takes a lot of courage to admit your feelings and share them. I want to support you. I know this will be behind you someday and I hope you find someone who can make you happy romantically. " Gildarts gave his daughter the softest smile she had ever seen from him.

Cana sniffed and wiped her eyes on her sleeve.

"Although with a father this handsome it's going to be hard to find someone to replace me." He chuckled with a smug look on his face.

Cana couldn't surpress her laughter and punched his arm, more tears falling.

"You're such an idiot. I refuse to call you father now."

"Eh? But I'm trying to be a cool father here. I even got to do the fatherly task of beating up your ex-boyfriend."

"Even though I didn't ask you to come…I'm glad you did…" Cana continued to smile, wiping her eyes once more.

"Just say the word and I'll do anything you want. It's the least I can do for the pain I've put you through."

"Anything? You sure you won't regret saying that?"

"I'm trusting you won't make me do anything I'll regret."

"Heh." Cana sniffled and picked up her tankard, downing it.

"Any immediate requests?" Gildarts pushed his own unfinished drink in front of his daughter.

"Hmm…tell me why Laxus is staying at your place. I went to crash there and found him instead."

"He didn't have a place to stay after I let him back into Fairy Tail. I figured I'm traveling all the time anyways. Also, I like that brat. He's a silly kid and I have a lot faith in him. I hope he becomes the new guild leader."

Cana smiled softly and took a sip of her father's drink.

"So that's why. Heh. He seemed annoyed you were butting into his life but I think he actually enjoys your company."

"Hehe" a goofy look came over her father's face.

"What?" Cana looked at him oddly, raising an eyebrow.

"He seems to enjoy your company too."

"Stop Gildarts. It's not like that." Cana looked away.

"He's a good guy Cana." He reached over to tossle her hair.

"He's not…you." Cana flinched slightly under his touch, heat rising in her cheeks again.

"That's one request I can't fulfill." Gildarts sighed as if he read her mind, pulling her close.

"Men are liars…" Cana also sighed, punching her father in the chest slightly.

"I love you Cana." He kissed her forehead lightly before resting his chin on her head.

"Unfair…" Cana mumbled.

"Hmm?"

"You're unfair…using tactics like these. How can I be mad? Now I'm just embarassed cause everyone is probably watching us."

Gildarts let out a chuckle, removing his chin to pat her on the head again.

"Who cares? I'm proud you're my daughter. I'll show you off to the world if I have to."

Cana let out a heavy sigh as she closed the door to her room at Fairy Hills, resting her back against it. She felt tired and emotionall drained. She glanced over at the clock on the wall. 2:23pm…why is the day only half way over? Also why is it so hot? She groaned outwardly as she headed towards her dresser, pulling her jean jacket off slowly with her left arm.

"I should have talked to him about my arm…"

She started to lift her top up slightly when she heard a knock on her door. Can't I just get some peace and quiet today…if its that hag wanting my rent money early…She let go of her top and walked back over the door opening it.

"I don't have the money yet you ha-" she started but stopped when she saw a blonde haired mage standing at her door.

"It's me Cana."

"Oh Lucy. Sorry about that…whats up?" She opened the door wider to let her friend in.

"Well, you just vanished on us earlier. It just seemed unlike you. I waited at the guild for awhile but you didn't show. Somehow I became worried even though I know you can take care of yourself." Lucy stepped in with a warm smile.

"Thanks for worrying. Also glad someone around here thinks I can handle myself." Cana showed a small smile.

"Hmm?" the blonde looked at her confused.

"Its nothing. Its actually nice to be around another female for a change. I think I've have my fill of men for the day." She closed the door and sat down on the edge of her bed.

"You want to talk about it?"

"Yeah…how about a cold bath though?" Cana grinned.

"Like old times huh?" Lucy laughed, blushing a little.

Cana started to lift up her top a bit with her arm before she noticed the blonde looking at her weirdly.

"Err…my arm dosen't work so good nowadays. Mind helping?"

Lucy just smiled again and took over, pulling the top off effortlessly.

"You need help with anything else?"

"Nah I can get the rest. Thanks Lucy."

"That's what friends are for. I'll get the water started."

/ / / / / / / / / / / /

"and your arm has been getting worse huh?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah. I thought the springs on Tenrou had healed it. I wonder if its because I damaged it while the tree was still down. I also wonder if its just because I'm weak. I also like to think of it as my punishment." Cana rested her head back against the bathtub.

"Punishment?" Lucy asked, her brows furrowing.

"Yeah…I abandoned you to fulfill my selfish desires. I wanted to tell Gildarts I was his daughter. I also wanted to tell him I was in love with him. I take this as my punishment for my deeds."

"Cana!" Lucy splashed some water into her friend's face.

Cana coughed a little and looked at her friend's worried face.

"You're disgusted right? That I left you behind to confess my love to my father."

"No. You can't help who you love. I also told you back on Tenrou Island that I wasn't mad. I'm still not mad. If you're looking to be forgiven I won't do it. You've done nothing wrong in the first place."

"Eh?" Cana looked surprised.

"I really don't know why you pile everything onto yourself. We're the same age yet I feel like you always try to be more of an adult then everyone else. Always pushing yourself too hard." Lucy sighed and stood up, water falling from her onto the floor as she got out.

"Where are you going?" Cana asked.

"To get dressed. The water is warm now anyways. My fingers are all pruny" Lucy smiled, showing her friend her hands.

"Lucy…" Cana started, climbing out of the bathtub herself.

"Hmm?" Lucy grabbed two towels, handing Cana one.

"Thank you…for listening to me. It's nice to hear a woman's perspective for a change"

"No problem. As I said earlier, that's what friends are for."

"Ah…it's still so hot. Why did I have to grow my hair out so much." Cana started drying herself off.

"I could have Cancer cut it for you. He works wonders." Lucy smiled.

"If you could." Cana smiled back.

"I'm also going to make you get that arm checked out." Lucy insisted.
