Demon's Kid

Chapter 4

Meeting You Again

It has been 3 years since Gray had joined Fairy Tail. He was currently standing in front of his house, his own house. He grinned up at the one storey house as if it was the biggest castle in the world. Well for him it was as he had bought it entirely from the money he had saved. He entered through the door and took in the smell of new wood of the furniture. The walls were, obviously painted in mostly various tints and hues of blue and white. It looked as if he was living in sea or the arctic glaciers. He was getting so giddy that he was literally jumping while icy dust sparkled around his room, a side effect of him being happy and excited out of his wits.

"This is MY OWN HOUSE!" he yelled as if there was a whole audience watching him. He ran upstairs and into his room. Just as he swung the door open, he jumped into the king sized bed in the middle of the room. A sigh of bliss escaped his lips while he snuggle deeper into the comforters. The cushion and mattresses were all new and comfy. He never knew when he fell asleep. Gray woke up to the sound of his alarm clock blaring its usual irritating ring. He froze it before getting up and stretching his arms. He looked around to notice that it was already morning.

"What! I slept like what" he counted on his fingers before exclaiming. "16 FUCKING HOURS!" he scampered around his room and took out his clothes. He immediately rushed into the bathroom and brushed his teeth before jumping into a tub full of water and ice cubes. This reminded him of Ur and Lyon and the training sessions he had with them. Now that he thought of it, he missed them. Even if an itsy bitsy little, he still missed them. They were like his second family and he had just gone and betrayed them in his rage and want of revenge. He was broken out of his thoughts when he heard his stomach grumble. He remembered that he hadn't eaten anything other than the light snack at the guild yesterday. He immediately rushed out and wore his clothes after drying himself. His clothes were simple, black t shirt and denim pants. He ran out towards the guild after locking his door. He almost forgot that the new set of jobs was to be posted this morning and he wanted to get his hand on the most desirable for himself. He was broke after buying and renovating the whole house. It was still a secret from the guild members and even the master didn't know about it. And because of this he has been getting free tips on how to save money from the guild members after he was scolded by Master at how his money flowed like water. Everyone thought that he used all of his savings into buying a senseless amount of candies or something of no to less use.

"Ahh, they still think I am kid" he said while pouting to himself as he remembered how Mira and Erza have beaten him the last time he was short on money but only he knew that it was because he had to pay for his new dream house to get a good paint job. He entered the guild and immediately rushed to get a job. He was lucky that pinky wasn't around, maybe he already left for a job with Erza, because if he had then it was most possible that both of them may have broken into a big brawl. He skimmed through the jobs till his eyes landed on the one which was somewhere near Isvan. Isvan just reminded him of Ur and Lyon. He was once again being swept into his memories as his time with the both of them replayed. He never noticed when the air around him started to get cold. Luckily Makarov had sensed it and signaled Gildarts who just nodded before heading towards the boy. He still wondered when he got the job of babysitting both the boys. But now that Erza had taken care of Natsu on her own he can pay his attention on the main patient. Both the boys were infamous around the country for their destructive tendencies so it was evident to manage both of them.

"Hey Gray, wanna go with me on a job or more like meeting my friend?" he asked as Gray was broken out of his train of memories and the cold atmosphere started to return to normal. Everyone sighed in relief before returning to their daily chores.

"Job? With you?" Gray asked his eyes shining slightly. He seemed slightly excited about it. Of course he admired Gildarts for his strength and he was sort of his and pinky's father figure too. But going on with him on a job was entirely on a new level.

"Yes, with me" Gildarts answered as he read the request Gray had been looking over when suddenly he felt something latching itself on his waist. He looked down to see none other than the raven kid.

"I will go! Take me! I will go!" he ranted on and on excitedly while Gildarts tried to pry him off or both of them would've ended up falling.

"Okay okay, geez sometimes you are worse than Natsu" he said while Gray finally let go of him. But the kid was hyper nonetheless.

"I will go pack my things up!" Gray said as he started to sprint in the direction of his new dreamland before he collided back into Gildarts who had grabbed him by the back of his collar.

"Cool down a little kid. Okay, meet me in front of the railway station in 1 hour, got it?" Gildarts said as Gray nodded before he left Gray's shirt and the kid sprinted off. Gildarts made his way to the master who was now laughing light heartedly at the scene that had just played in front of his eyes.

"Looks like I will also go and pack now" he said as he took his leave and towards his temporary home.

After a long train ride and a really short and easy mission, both Gray and Gildarts were standing in the snowy fields of Isvan. Gray looked around the snowy fields, his excitement turning him insane. He remembered all the fun things he used to do with Ur and Lyon in these some snowy fields. Those snow ball fights, camping out, goofing around randomly and open baths, may more things he can't even seem to make a list of.

"Where are we going?" he asked as followed Gildarts.

"To meet a friend of mine, I think she will obviously like you" he said as Gray just followed him. Suddenly the area came familiar to Gray and his eyes widened when he saw a woman with black hair in a bob cut with a silverette standing with her. He immediately ran there, leaving Gildarts surprised.

"UR!" Ur had no time to register when she had heard something scream her name and then lunge on her. She looked down to see a mop of raven hair hugging her tightly as this something cried.

"I missed…you both…so damn much" he cried out as Lyon just watched wide eyed before the person's appearance finally registered in his mind.

"Gray!" he exclaimed, his eyes widened in surprise, disbelief but also happiness and worry. Ur was already hugging the boy close to her chest while both of them cried.

"Gray…you are alive! I am so glad! I thought that maybe…maybe I lost you already when you had left the cabin to defeat Deliora…I thought I have lost another one of my children…You are alive" she said as she released him from her bone crushing hug. Just when Gray turned to face Lyon, he was met by a punch in the face. He looked up at Lyon to see wet tracks forming down his cheeks.

"You idiot! Why do you have to leave that day! That punch is a reminder for you to not do anything like that ever again! You know…I missed you!" Lyon said as he fell on the ground, sobbing. He still remembered the act he had put up so Ur herself willn't get into depression. Nobody knew how much he was hurt to have a lost a nearly brother figure that night.

"Lyon…" Gray started but found his voice choking on his sobs.

"I am not disturbing a family reunion, am I?" a voice came as Gildarts also made his way towards the crying heap. "Long time no see, huh Ur" he said while waving to her.

"Gildarts-san? You know Ur?" Gray asked, slightly surprised.

"Gildarts!" surprise was evident in Ur's voice as she saw the brunette in front of her. Gray and Lyon exchanged similar looks before smirking and chorusing.

"You lliiiike each other" they had said earning a smack on head by Ur. After about 5 minutes all four of them were having a cup of hot chocolate while telling each other of what happened in all these years.

"Okay okay okay hold on a sec, you mean to say that, Gray" Ur pointed towards the raven sitting adjacent to her " defeated Deliora all by himself. You must be kidding right, how can a little delicate lad like him be able to do that." She said while side hugging the said boy who was just trying to drink his beverage in peace.

"Believe me or not Ul but that is the truth, even master had tough time believing it but he is the one who was able to attain the impossible. Now kids will you leave for a minute, I want to talk about something with Ul, in private" Gildarts said as Ul looked at him, confusion written all over her face but seeing the serious expression on his face told her that something was up.

"Are you going to confess to her?" "Are you both going to marry each other?" Both the boys blurted at the same time earning another smack from Ul before both of them ran out while shielding their heads with their arms, grinning goofily.

"Seriously they haven't grown up even 1 bit! So Gildarts, about what you wanted to talk with me, is it somehow related to Gray?" Ul asked at which Gildarts nodded before telling her the matter at hand. After hearing everything of what was going on with her youngest student, Ul was just shocked. Shocked. Nothing less nothing more.

"So you mean to say that that magic can tear him apart from inside, like literally." She muttered, her eyes wide like plates. Gildarts just nodded his head.

"That's why Ul, I wanted your help. After all you are a powerful ice mage, so I thought that maybe you will be able to tell something." He said while Ul just thought. She wasn't able to believe how this happened but the proof was just in front of her very own eyes. Still, it was a little surprising for her as during the time Gray was under her wing, she hadn't sensed that much power in him at all and not even now. But according to what Gildarts is saying that he is the one to defeat Deliora then there must be something that triggers his power.

"Gildarts, is there any specific thing or other that triggers his power?" she asked while looking at her companion.

"Hmm, according to old lady Porylushica this devil slaying magic of his works as a defensive mechanism of kinds. Like the first time was when he was fighting Deliora, he was going to be killed and just like that this activated and killed Deliora. The second time was likely when he somehow remembered his parents. I don't exactly remember and know about it but it was when he went on his first mission." Gildarts told her.

"Maybe the master of your guild can seal this magic to some extent, like you know half of this so maybe he will be able to first learn how to control it without harming himself. When he will be ready, master can unseal his powers." Ul suggested as Gildarts nodded.

"That is plausible. I will talk about this to master and see if he can do it or not." Gildarts said before both of them started talking about other, less serious subjects.

"You are a looser!" Lyon taunted while pointing towards Gray who laid flat on ground while several snowballs covered his back. He got up on his knees and glared at the albino who was doing some kind of a victory dance.

"Shut up!" he said while crossing his legs and arms as he sat on the snowy grounds, pouting.

"Hey come on, I will take you to a place I found on the mountains." Lyon said, excitement radiating through his body. He pulled Gray up and both of them went in the higher up mountains.

"This place had changed" Gray wondered out loud while he followed the his white haired senpai.

"Yep, many new shops and places were made over the last few years when you were gone." Lyon answered, looking back at the raven who was looking around the area. After 5 minutes both of them were again out in the snowy mountains.

"So where is this place you wanted to show me so badly?" Gray asked, getting tired of this surprise element. Lyon just grinned before he started jogging up the mountain soon followed by Gray. Both of them halted in front of a big cave.

"Come on in" Lyon said, dragging the raven inside by his hand. The cave was really dark with no source of light.

"L-lyon, w-why is it s-so da-dark in h-here?" Gray asked while gripping tightly on the silver head's arm.

"Don't worry Gray, aah! Look!" Lyon exclaimed as light suddenly flooded the area. Gray opened his eyes to see a freaking waterfall inside the once appearing to be dark and dull cave. The ice was appearing as if mirrors were placed in here while sunlight shone through a small natural sky screen above. The water glistened in the light and reflected it all over the place.

"It is so…" Gray was awestricken as he gazed around the beautiful walls of ice and the crystal clear water.

"Come here" Lyon said to him. Both of them squatted down on the side of the little pond like water body. Lyon lightly touched the water with his hand and a sound resounded through the whole cave. It was as if someone had just pushed the key of a piano.

"What?! How did that happened?! Is there something inside the water?! Does this water knows how to sing?! Is there a freaking piano insi-" Gray's rambles were cut short as a hand was placed on his mouth.

"Shut up chickpea. Sheesh, you still don't have a limit on that curiosity bank of yours, do you? Just try it yourself." Lyon said, removing his hand from the raven's mouth. Gray looked down in the water before rippling it with his hand. A lot of notes resounded in the area at this simple touch. Both of the boys smiled and tried it some more before Gray's curiosity took the better of him.

"Lyon, tell me please. How did this happened?" he asked as Lyon looked at him before answering.

"I also am not sure but the one thing I know is that, a certain mage who loved to experiment with potions lived on the top of these mountains. His house was situated near the glacier this waterfall is originated from. One day he accidentally slipped and all of his musical or something potion fell and mixed with the glacier. It resulted in his death as the fall was fatal and he was a really really old man. Well, that potion of his is the result of how this happened." He answered as Gray looked up at him in fascination.

"You know so much" he said, his eyes twinkling in respect while pink crept up the silverette's face.

"So, where do you wanna go next?" Lyon asked, getting up and dusting his pants for any dust that clung to it, but the fact was that there was no dust to begin with only snow and ice. Gray thought about it before a mischievous glint ran in his eyes. He grabbed Lyon's hand and dived inside the freezing pond, his senpai being dragged with him. A lot of musical notes rang about in the cave in a gentle harmony.

"Gray! Why did you suddenly dived!" Lyon asked, shaking his head to get rid of the water.

"Just wanted to try. Now take this!" Gray said while splashing water on Lyon, drenching his hair once more. Both of the boys indulged in a full blown water fight while a lot of sound travelled across the landscape.

"Come on chibi, Ul will be getting worried" Lyon said, getting out of the water before pulling Gray up. While Gray was rinsing his jacket and smiling at the sound originating Lyon got an idea. He went beside Gray and squatted down to be at his level.

Phoo~! He blew behind the raven's hair causing him to jump and cover it with his hands.

"Lyon! You know I don't like it! It is really ticklish!" Gray said while covering his now red ears. Lyon was on his all fours while laughing like never before.

"I am gonna die. You are so easy to be teased around Gray!" he said while laughing. Gray just huffed and started making his way out of the cave. Lyon also stood up only to see the raven standing just outside the pond area.

"What happened Gray?" he asked going to his kouhai's side. Gray grabbed his hand before mumbling.

"It is dark" he had mumbled as Lyon understood what he wanted to say but knew better than laughing or teasing him about it. He took his hand and guided the way out. Both of them made their way towards Ul's cabin when suddenly Lyon stopped.

"What happened?" Gray asked him.

"Wanna eat some bubble gum?" Lyon asked but dragged Gray to the shop before the raven was even able to reply.

"Two" he said as the shopkeeper understood what he wanted.

"Who is this new lad with you today shiro chan?" the man asked while handing the bubble gum to the said boy.

"You remember Gray, he used to come with me here before too" Lyon said as recognition was seen on the man's face.

"You mean to say that he is Gray, the one which accompanied you lie four years before" the man said while Lyon just nodded before handing over the money.

"You sure have grown up Gray, you were never this tall to be able to look above the counter." The man said as both the boys bid him bye, Gray returning to his pouting.

"I wasn't that short" he said while puffing up his cheeks.

"Yeah you weren't" Lyon said while Gray smiled at him. "Because you are" he completed as that smile fell from Gray's face before he again huffed in annoyance.

"Meanie" he mumbled. Lyon lead him to a clearing in the mountains and both of the sat down on some of the rocks that appeared like seats. Lyon handed him one of the bubble gums while chewed one himself.

"Think about anything you want and blow it, like this" Lyon said as he blew out his bubble gum which shaped like a cake. Gray's eyes glittered as he did the same, a polar bear was made out. Both of them continued and many things came up like, a lion, a dog, a flower, a fire ball, an unicorn and many more.

"Own, my cheeks hurt" Gray said while rubbing his cheeks. Lyon was doing the same but was more habitual to it so it didn't bother him too much.

"GRAY! LYON!" Ul's and Gildart's voice rang out as both of them ran towards them.

"Come on goofball, we have to go back too" Gildarts said as Gray looked at Ul, then Lyon then Gildarts.

"Why so soon" he said, a feeling of sadness lacing his voice.

"It isn't in my control little guy but you can come again anytime you want" Gildarts said as Gray continued to look on the ground, not wanting others to see the salty liquid in his eyes. He just nodded his head before biding both Ul and Lyon goodbye.

"I will miss you" Lyon muttered his own eyes hidden from view.

"Okay, 3,2,-!" Ul said as voices of crying rang out while both the boys hugged each other.

"You know them too much for their own good" Gildarts said while looking at the two brothers. Ul just smiled before joining the two.

"You have to go now Gray, you now have a new life ahead you. But don't worry you can come here any time you want" Ul said while stroking Gray's and Lyon's head gently as both of them quieted down.

"See ya" Lyon said while waving at the two figures who made their way towards the station. His hand fell into place when both of them were not in sight.

"Come on Lyon, I will make you your fav" Ul said while Lyon smiled up at her and both of them made their way back. Elsewhere, Gildarts and Gray were already in the train back to Magnolia.

"Gildarts-san, when will we come back?" Gray asked, looking at the elder mage sitting beside him.

"Soon, really soon" he said while looking down at the raven head. Gray nodded before yawning and making himself comfortable on the elder mage's arm. He clutched the bubble gum, which Lyon had bought today, tightly in his hand while a smiled crawled up on his lips.

"Yeah…soon" he muttered before giving into the much needed sleep.
