Clover Town

It was already night time when Juvia arrived at Clover Town. It took her longer than she expected due to some men that wanted to rob the people in the train, thankfully Juvia was there to stop them.

As soon as Juvia arrived she asked to be pointed to the directions on the house written in the request. The man she asked was going to a near place and offered to show her the way and Juvia nodded in gratitude.

"My name is Rey" the man said as he extended his hand

"My name is Juvia" she said as she shook his hand

"So, why are you here?" Rey asked her

"Well, Juvia is here to stop the mage that has been burning the forest and the harvest" Juvia said

"So you're a wizard? From what guild?"

"I'm a water mage and I'm a member of Fairy Tail." She said as she showed him the guild mark that was on her thigh.

Then man blushed a little when he saw her leg.

"No wonder you looked familiar. You guys won the Grand Magic Games, you guys where amazing!" He said

"Yeah" Juvia said embarrassed

"Well here you go. There live mis Meria and her son Yashiro." Ray said as he pointed to the house.

"Thank you so much Rey-san" Juvia said as she bowed her head

"No problem." He said as he waved

As soon as he left Juvia went to the front porch, went to the steps and knocked on the door. A few seconds passed and a woman opened the door.

"May I help you dear?" the woman said. She had long brown hair tied in a ponytail, brown green eyes, light tanned skin, and she was 3 inches shorter than Juvia.

"Hi, my name is Juvia from Fairy Tail. I'm here for the job request" she said as she showed the flyer

"Oh yes. Come in, come in." The woman said as she let Juvia pass

"My name is Meria" the woman said as she offered her hand to Juvia and she accepted

Suddenly they hear a cry of pain coming from the end of the house and Meria runs to the kitchen and grabs a bucket of water and goes to the room next to the kitchen. Juvia was worried so she followed her. When she went in the room she saw a young man lying in a floor bed with burns on his left arm and part of his torso. It was obvious the burns had been recent and she was trying to cool him down.

"I'm sorry hon, I know it hurts but we have to clean the burns to cool you down and to avoid infection" she said pained trying not to hurt him

He lets out another cry of pain and she pulled her hand away.

"Let Juvia help" she said as she kneels down next to him and the bucket of water.

She took a deep breath, waved her hand over the bucket and the water starts to move at her will. She gets the water to move out of the bucket and on to the burns of the young man. He flinched in pain but she made sure that the water was cool enough to ease the pain. He finally relaxed. After a few minutes he finally fell asleep and she put the water back in the bucket.

"Thank you so much!" Meria said with tears in her eyes and hugged her.

"No problem" Juvia responded

They both walked out the room and into the kitchen to dump the dirty water.

"What happened to him?" Juvia asked

"His name is Yashiro and he got burnt trying to stop the person who is burning the forest. My son is a holder type of mage and also elemental magic. His holder time let him swap from weapons witch let him change from elements. The person who is causing the fires was once his best friend." She paused for a moment and walked to the living room offering Juvia to sit down in front of her.

"His name is Mitsuhide and he is a fire mage. My son and Mitsuhide grew up together their whole life. They were inseparable. Two years ago my husband, Yashiro's father, died in a mine accident witch made a lot of people curious dew to if it was an accident or not. Some say it was because of a dark guild trying to make a statement. That took a toll on all of us, especially Yashiro and Mitsuhide. They both looked up to him like he was invincible." Her voice started to shake as she tells the story and tears started to well up in her eyes as she looked at the picture of the four of them. She took a deep breath and continued.

"Mitsuhide had gone through a lot his entire life. He lost his mother at a very young age and his father wasn't home most of the time after his wife died, and whenever he was home either he was asleep or drunk and beating him up. My husband couldn't stand it anymore and he called the authorities and imprisoned his father and Mitsuhide started living with us. Everything was great until the death of my husband something changed in him." She paused, took a deep breath and continued

"He started staying out late and coming home drunk. And one day he just packed everything and left. Until a month ago he came to us to talk to Yashiro about joining a guild. My son is a mage but he wanted to start his own guild here in Clover Town, he didn't want to leave. Mitsuhide got so furious that he warned him if he didn't join he was going to burn the town. Once he left we warned the authorities and we created a barrier that would prevent any fire burning the town, but he did the unexpected and started burning the forest and our harvest. We tried to stop the fire but it was getting out of hand. That's when Yashiro brought out his sword of the sea and was able to extinguish part of the fire and went after Mitsuhide. He came back and told me he lost him and kept extinguishing the fire until it was out. And for several days the same thing happened until two days ago."

She stud up and looked outside, trying not to cry in front of Juvia. She took a deep breath and with a stuttering voice she continued

"This time Mitsuhide came to fight with Yashiro. Yashiro didn't want to fight but Mitsuhide didn't give him a choice. He started attacking and he barely dodged in time. They kept fighting and fighting until Mitsuhide threw a fire ball at me and that's when..." she started to cry "That's when Yashiro ran in front of me to get the hit. I wasn't able to do anything." She was crying harder and started to tremble. "Mitsuhide ran away after that. Then we sent the request to the guilds to see if anybody is able to stop him"

"I am so sorry Meria-san for what Happened to you and your son but don't worry Juvia is here to help." Juvia said as she stud up.

"Thank you so much" she said with teary eyes

"Let me show you to your room" she said as she showed her the way.

Juvia's room was next to the room Yashiro was in. It was a simple room and it was comfortable enough for Juvia to stay in. She unpacked everything and went to the kitchen and saw Meria trying to make some tea but she was so shaken up for telling Juvia what happened. Juvia took the initiative to make the tea. She took the tea pot and the herbs to make it. After a few minutes the tea was ready and she served two cups. They drank their tea and cleaned the kitchen a little bit.

"Goodnight, Juvia" Meria said

"Goodnight, Meria-san. If Yashiro wakes up again Juvia can take care of him"

"You don't have to" Meria said

"It's no trouble at all" Juvia said

Juvia went back to her room and changed into her pajamas. She went to bed but before she fell asleep she whispered his name

"Gray-sama" her eyes teared up, she whipped the them away and fell asleep

Back at Fiore

Gray was in the town finishing some errands. He was preparing for the trip he was going to make with Wendy and Charla. After he got all he needed he went home. Once he was close enough he saw that somebody was waiting for him outside of his house. He was cautious, other times there where girls waiting to jump him. None of which was Juvia. Juvia always respected his personal space that was his house. He got closer and saw that it was Wendy and Charla.

"Wendy? Charla? What are you doing here?" he asked

"We need to speak to you of some important matter" Charla said

"Uhhh okay, come inside."

He opened the door and let them in. He turned on the lights and motion them to sit down and they did. He put the bags in the kitchen and in his room and went back to the living room. He sat in front of them and said

"So, what's up?"

"Do you remember the night where Juvia ran out crying?" Wendy asked

"Yeah I asked her and she said she had something in her eyes"

"Well, you see, that's no actually true" Charla said

"Wait, what do you mean?" Gray was confused

"Juvia overhear a conversation with you and Loke when you said that you hated clingy people and that Juvia was it" Wendy said

His head went back to that night, to the conversation he had, to the sight of Juvia crying and not knowing what happened. But now he knows the reason of why she was crying. It was all a misunderstanding and he wanted to clear it up.

"What? Wait, she overheard that? But I wasn't talking about her, I was talking about Lyon of how clingy he was on her the other day and I know Juvia can be clingy on me sometimes but I honestly don't mind her." He said a little bit frustrated

"That's why we are here to clarify what happened and try to avoid what might happen" Charla said

"What do you mean 'might happen'? Is something going to happen to Juvia?" he asked worried

"I am not sure. My visions aren't clear and sometimes can be an alternative future" Charla said

"What did you see?" Gray asked more worried than ever

"I can't tell you but we need to ask you something" Charla said

"Ok, ask away"

"What are your feelings for Juvia?" Wendy asked

"You don't have to answer right away and for what I can see you are not clear on what you feel for her right now, but we do need your help tomorrow on the job and after that you can go and see Juvia" Charla said

Gray said nothing he just listen to what they had to say.

"We'll be going now Gray. Hope to see you tomorrow" Wendy said as she stood up with Charla in her arms and left

'What are my feelings for Juvia?' Gray thought.

He finished packing the things he needed for the job but at all time he kept asking himself the same question over and over again What are my feelings for Juvia?

He took a shower and put on his boxers, grabbed Juvia's scarf and just appreciated the softness and all he could see was Juvia's beautiful eyes. He still didn't know why he sees her face every night but know he has the proper question for it.

"What are my feelings for Juvia?" he whispered as he fell asleep
