Happy Readings!
Juvia squinted at the harsh rays, blinding her already closed eyes. She moaned at the headache that hit her, "Ugh.." She said, jerking her head up. A knock on the door shook her, "Ahh!" She flipped to the floor, with a smack to the head. "Ouch..." She rubbed her sore forehead, pulling herself up into a kneeling position on the floor. "Uhh?Oh….Come in." She called, still rubbing the enormous bump on her head.
" Juvia-San, do you know what time it is?" Said Kaught, her hair now in a lovely braid decorated with red lace ribbons, it flopped to her side as walked over to a pained Juvia.
" Well… No…Juvia just fell to the floor." Juvia said, pointing to the accident zone.
" Well, I thought you were supposed to be up early today? For the job, remember?" She said, reaching out a hand. Juvia grinned slightly, people only just started being kind to her, she loved this feeling. " Juvia-San, It's half past noo-" Juvia's eyes flashed with an alert sign, she bolted over to the bathroom, unlacing her blue silky nightgown, off her fully developed body. She turned the water on, not caring for it's temperature, she leaped directly in; letting the next to freezing water touch her. Hot temperature would not at all affect her, but the cold would make her feel sluggish, she feels like water, freezing that is. It would make anyone slow down, including someone made of water. She turned the knob to a heat filled, boiling. This had no effect at all, moving a bit faster she began shampooing her long blue locks. A soft knock rang the room, " Juvia- San, when you are ready, I…. Have….Prepared us some lunch." Kaught voice seemed timid.
" Yes, thank you…. Juvia will be out in a jiffy!" She called over, throw the thick steam.
After leaving the shower, she pulled a towel over herself, walking over to the prepacked back filled with clothes. She pulled out her dress, it had a long white skirt, with a night blue top, she wore it the first day of the tournament. Strapping it on, she pulled the zipper up, she clutched her large blue hat, placing it over her now combed hair. She looked in the mirror smiling, "Juvia won't lose to Lucy now, will she?" With this she walked over to the kitchen, grabbing all her packed items.
The smell of the food, filled the room, making Juvia drool over the table. The plate was packed with fish, beef, and who knows what other mystical creature in Fiore? Juvia ate fast, remembering she had a deadline.
"Juvia, you have to chow 23 times before swallowing!" She yelled, making Juvia count out the her chew.
"UN, Twu-" Juvia jumped from alarm.
" STOP CHEWING WITH YOUR MOUTH OPEN, YOUNG LADY!" She yelled at Juvia, who nearly coughed up a cow. " Stand up straight, bad posture leads to low fertility." She said, washing the tea kettle. Juvia sat straight up, thinking of a future with no kids. Juvia cleared her mouth with a thought,
" Where's Labirth?" Juvia said, lifting her tea to her mouth.
" Working, now hurry up. You have a job too, I don't want you being late." Remembering this, she chugged the rest of her lava hot drink.
After finishing, Juvia walked to the front leaving her key, on the counter. "Thank you Kaught, I wouldn't have wanted to stay anywhere else." Juvia said,with a whimpering lip, she fidgeted at her goodbye. Kaught gave her a big smile,
"Were friend's here, not business partners." She said, pulling Juvia into a tight hug. Juvia was stunned, had she really made a new friend? She was hesitant at first, but slowly she pulled her arm around the young girl. " See, we are friends?" She said, pulling away.
" Umm….. Juvia will be going now." She said, looking down. Kaught pulled her head up, looking into her watery eyes.
" We are not saying goodbye forever. We'll, meet again I'm sure about this. Now, hurry up, or you'll be late." Juvia used her arm to wipe the tears, pulling off an amazingly large smile.
" Juvia has to go say goodbye, to Labirth-San first." Juvia said, she turned walking with her head raised, higher than ever. She strolled down, the flower shop was near, so it wasn't much of a walk. The door rang as she walked in,
"Wel-, ohh….. Juvia, nice seeing you here, but don't you have a job?" She asked, putting down a watering can.
" Yes, I'm on my way, actually I came to say...Goodbye?" She asked, unsure herself.
"Oh, hold on?!" She said, wiping her dirt filled hands, she pulled her hair out of her eyes tying it with a rubber band. She walked over to where they had previously stood, she slouched over the counter, " Hey, before you go, where is this guild of your located?" She asked, pulling a thin brow up.
" In Magnolia! You'll come visit,me." Juvia held her hands, " Right?" Her smile was wider than ever before.
" You, bet cha'." She said, she rose from her position, pulling Juvia into a hug. " We're friend now." Juvia couldn't be happier to hear this.
"Mmm." Labirth, rustled her head, leaving a dent in the hat.
" Juvia, be careful, I want to go to your guild. And meet this, Gray, or Lyon, I'd pay to meet the white head though." Labith said, laughing at her sudden,
"Yeap!" Juvia covered her lips, "I'd like to seem him again to." Juvia thought, in worry of his sudden leave.
" Bye." Labirth waved her off, giving an encouraging smile, to the now running Juvia.
Juvia was frustrated, she had to practically run; although the sun was evaporating everything, and heat didn't affect her, but the bright shining from it did.
"Ahh.." She said, remembering her pink umbrella, she pulled it out happy for it shade, but still not helping with the hummitty. "Gosh, with this sun,and humidity you'd think you were near the ocean." Juvia walked, " Just how far away is this town?" She asked, seeing the sun going down. Tears ran down her face, " Damn Juvia should have woken earlier." She said, kicking the rock that laid beside her.
A few hours later...
The sun was long gone, but with it the heat as well as a slight breeze had picked up, Juvia was now using her umbrella as a cain now. " Really, how long is this town away from here?" She asked. Seeing a tree, she decided to get a moments rest, dozing off a bit, she was awaken by a sudden shake. "Agh...Earth-" Juvia opened her eyes, seeing a purple haired young boy standing in front of her with a fishing pole.
" Hey, lady! Why are you just sleeping there." He asked, pushing his pole forward, and raising a brow.
"Well, I thought since the town is so far away. I would take a nap!" She hollered, at the kid.
" Ugh.. Look old lad-" Juvia stood, pulling on his cheeks, twitching her nose.
" Whose old, kid?" She asked, a vicious smile graced on her lips.
"No-t..Wou… Nee-chan." It was barely audible, but she still took it.
" Now, what were you saying?" She asked, a innocent smile, making her appear eviler than before.
" Well, the town right over this turn." He said, rubbing his sore cheeks, pointing at the a spot only a few steps away.
" No way, Juvia's been walking all day. It can't just be over there…." She shook her head in disapproval. "Can it?" She said, taking him by his wrist, gently. Looking over the small hill, you could see the large city. Juvia fell to the ground, depression hitting her.
" C'mon get up, I wanna go home, and I can't just leave an idiot here. You don't seem to have anything working up there." He said, waking ahead. Juvia stood, jogging over to his side, she dominated his size by about a foot.
Juvia snickered at this, making the boy stick his tongue out, and running up ahead even further.
" Hey, kid?" He turned around face as red as a strawberry, pulling his fishing pole closer to his chest, he flustered out,
"What?!" He covered his mouth, at alarm at how much volume was placed through it. Juvia giggled at this, fastening her pace.
" What's your name?" She said, pulling her arms behind her. He blistered red, looking down; he mumbled,
" Kismet….Saga." He said, slowing down enough for her to be back at his small side.
" Hmmm… Okay, nice to meet you, Kismet-Kun. I'm Juvia!" She said, pulling her pale hand to his face. He stared at it in disbelief, " Well, Juvia won't bite. She swears!" She said, pulling her arm to her heart, then back to his face. He took it, shaking it lightly. " See, Juvia didn't bite?" She said, pushing him with her hip.
" I….. Knew that!" He mumbled to the ground. They passed the hill, walking up into a light filled town, it looked similar to Magnolia, the town filled with drunk people walking the street, partying non-stop.
" Where are you headed?" He asked, scratching his head with his open arm.
" Well, Juvia heard from a friend, that there was a train station, or something." She said, looking at the ground, smiling.
" You don't even know where you're headed, do you?" He said, giving a ghostly glare.
" Nope, not a clue." She said, a depressing aura surrounding her. " Wait!" Juvia said, pulling out her job post. "Ahh… Um… It's called Red Ocean?Ohh… An ocean! Know where it's at?" She said, "That would explain the water mage." She thought, after hearing not a even a peep from Kismet, Juvia peeking from the back of the paper.
" Hey.. Juvia-Nee?" He asked, looking at his fishing pole.
" Yes, you know?" She said, hopes high.
" I think you should probably turn back, NOW!" He exclaimed, Juvia was shocked at his sudden tone.
" It's Oka-" Kismet eyes filled with rage, grabbing Juvia from her sleeve.
" It's dangerous there, you shouldn't go, you're not even a mage, an-" Juvia placed her hand on his hair, she ruffled his hair, and smiled lightly.
" Now, who said Juvia wasn't a mage?" She asked him. " I'm Juvia Lockser, I'm from Magnolia, home of the strongest guild." She lifted her hand pointing her index finger to the sky, "Home to Fairy Tail." She placed her hand back on his small figure, his eyes filled with light.
" You mean T-H-E Fairy Tail?! Home to the Fairy that defeated a hundred monster, by herself? Titania!" Juvia nodded her head. "And, that girl with the big tits? Lucy, was her name!"At this comment Juvia sent a thrash to his head.
" Sorry, but this means you know Salamander, the guy who beat the twin dragons!? Do you know Gray Fullbuster, or that model Mirajane?" At the word Gray, Juvia blustered pink, but remained calm enough to talk.
" Yes, Juvia knows everyone in the guild! We are all friends!" She smiled with the word, "Friends!" She thought.
" That's super cool! Was it easy fighting….During the tournament?" He asked, peering into her eyes.
" Nope, not at all…..It was one of hardest battles our guild has ever gone through." She said, remembering all the bruises, Lucy, Gray-Sama, Natsu-San, and even the all mighty Erza, had received.
" Really! I thought it would be easy? I mean you all looked like you were having fun, didn't you?" He said, kicking the dirt in front of him.
" Of course, and not just us?! All our other friend from the other guild had fun too!" Juvia said, with a small giggle.
" Really, you know other guilds, do you know Chelia Blendy, from Lamia Scale?" He asked, blush hinting his small face.
" Mmm… She attacked me allot, but yes we are fri-ends." Juvia fell silent at the thought, of her fight with her.
" This would mean you would know, Lyon Vastia? He super strong right, my friends say he know Gray from your guild, right?"
" Yes, and they do know each other. They seem like old friends, rival more to be said, huh?" She asked herself, remembering their mini-brawls.
" Hey, if I ever get the chance, could I… Go to your…..Guild?" He asked her, pulling his head down to his shoulders.
" Of course, I know Wendy-Chan, and Romeo-Kun would love to see someone their age!" She said, pulling her hands on his slim shoulders.
" Cool! Thanks, Juvia-Nee!" He said, walking up ahead; Juvia followed slowly.
" Are you taking me to the train station?" Juvia asked, finally walking beside Kismet , who had an enormous smile on his face.
" Mmmhmm… Juvia-Nee.. Even if you are from Fairy Tail… Could you be careful there, I knew people who had gone there, but they never came back." He said, giving her a concerned smile.
" Of course, I'll have a partner there, whoever that is?" She said, rubbing her forehead at the thought of fighting along sides someone who she had no ties with.
" Well, there it is." He pointed to a huge station, it looked better than the one they had in her town.
" Thank you, Kismet-Kun." She said, waving him off, " But it night time, isn't it?" She said, pulling his ear. " Why are you out this late at night? You should go home, to your family!" Juvia said, pulling her hand to her hip.
" Well, my sister was making dinner… So, I decided to go...Fishing?" He said, unsure.
" Go home, It's almost eleven!" She said, pointing at the huge clock attached to the station.
" Yes, mam'a!" He said, bowing before running back.
" I'll see you around, Kismet-Kun!" She called at the stumbling boy; who stopped, and turned around.
" You too, Juvia-Nee!" He said, turning again running back to his destination.
" Sheesh… What panic is he sending through his sister?" She thought, she placed her paper back in her bag tightening the restrained, and walking in head high.
The light's were a bit brighter, which blinded her for a mere second. She pulled forward, seeing the counter to purchase tickets.
" Welcome, how may I help you?" Asked the man, smiling at her.
" Juvia would like to purchase a tickets, to the Red Ocean." Juvia asked the man, seeing the smile disappear, as fast as it came.
" Yes, for one?" He asked, pulling out a wad of tickets. Juvia nodded promptly,
" Yes, please." He handed her the ticket, she paid, and walked over looking at the board, announcing the times.
" Okay, so the next train for Red Ocean, leaves at eleven-" She stopped, and began running to the platform. She jumped in the nick of time, because only after a second the door sealed shut, nearly pulling her blue locks. She sighed with relief, she had escaped the door. She took the chance to glance around, basically just men, but not just any. Guild members, they looked huge compared to her small frame. Juvia felt a bit persecuted, so she walked to the end, sitting alone. A young woman came around offering meals,
" Miss… Would you care for anything?" She asked, pulling out a notepad.
" Umm… Well, chicken?" She thought for a moment, "And, some juice, please?" She said, making herself comfortable.
" Right away!" She said, pacing up,and down taking more orders.
" Wow, this is the calmest it's been in a while!" She thought, lying back. The rest of the trip was the calmest she had ever taken, she even found out that she could take the train from Red Ocean to Magnolia, which gave her an ecstatic smile " I don't have to walk back!" She thought with glee.
She step off the train, it was dawn, the sun had just cracked over the sky; " It's so lovely." She looked up to see a orange-red day blooming. She stepped into a huge town, like the other one, but this one looked like a quiet town." Even this early in the morning, there should be some people up, right?" Juvia thought, walking down a long road. She pulled out the now excessively wrinkled paper, " Okay, 780 Bridgelyn St." She looked all around, with no luck.
"Ughh….." She held her head, feeling a headache coming in.
" Stop! You're pulling my h-hair!" Juvia turned to see a little boy, about three, crying on the dirt filled street, screaming at a boy about the age of twelve, who was pulling his pale blue hair. Juvia being herself decided to step in.
" Excuse me," She kneeling down folding the skirt of her dress, " Why are you pulling his hair?" She said, tilting the three year old's chibi sized head, he stop crying looking solely at her eyes.
" Well, he ran off, and got lost, so to teach him a lesson. I took matters in my own hand's." He said adjusting his glasses.
" If I may ask, where is your mother?" Juvia asked, playing with the small child's cheek.
" She's at the restaurant, probably?" He said, pulling his brother up, who would not buge, and fell to the floor hitting his behind. Juvia scoffed at the cuteness of his face when he landed, who looked seriously determined for some reason.
" Ughh… WWWWWWWWWAAA!" He screamed, crying he remained on the ground. Juvia was shocked, and impressed at how well his lungs worked. She hurried to the toddlers side,
"It's okay! Umm…. C'mon let's go, Juvia will buy us something yummy?!" She said, looking around, spotting a convenience store open, she looked at him in approval, he continued to bawl.
" He probably just want's to be carried." Said the young boy, adjusting his glasses again.
" Ohh… Do you want Juvia to carry you?" She asked, pointing at herself. He stopped, his large red eyes looking at Juvia, his filled with innocents. He rose his tiny arms into the air, Juvia let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, then Juvia will carry you." She pulled him into her arms, he was so small; that she only needed a hand to carry him, which was great, so she could keep a hold on the sassy boy next to her. "So, Juvia doesn't suppose you know where 780, Bridgelyn St. is?" She asked, the young boy who, again adjusted his lens wear.
" Yes, it's around the corner, our father own the place, it's his business." He said, tightening his grip on Juvia arm. " Father hates to be interrupted by anyone, if it's not work related." He said, walking a bit slower.
" Then don't worry, it's work related!" Juvia said, pulling him closer her. " But first, I want a snack!" She said, walking down to the little store. She bought the toddler a soda which was way too big for his size, but was one of the cutest things she had ever seen, next to 'her' Gray-Sama sleeping. The young boy suited for a bottle of tea, as did she. They entered the street to see a now massively packed road, "Ohh..Now it's full?!" Juvia thought. Grabbing the young boy's arm she began walking, " So what's is your, and your adorable little brother name?" Juvia asked, walking into a market filled ally.
" I'm Eryx, he's Orion Amar ." Orion small head turned up, from his cold beverage.
"Orion, want... Pa-pa." He said, his cheeks plumped up, he clutching Juvia's back a bit harder.
" Were going right now. Okay Orion-Chan?" She said, correcting her grip on him, once again. Juvia looked down at Eryx, his face looked unsettled at the mention of his father; Juvia in an attempt to clear the atmosphere noticed that both the brother's were in matching overall, and dress shirts. " So, you're matching. How cute! Did your Mother-" Juvia was cut off by Eryx.
" We don't have a mother." He said simply, Juvia stood frozen.
" Then...why'd you want to go to the restaurant?" She asked, in deep worry.
" Our Aunt own that place, and Orion decided to wander off to go see our very busy Father." He walked, ahead pushing Juvia lightly, she began walking faster to keep up with the young boy. They arrived in silence, Juvia kept quiet knocking on the door, pulling back gently.
" Do you want to stay out here?" Juvia asked, in an attempt to comfort him.
" No, we already arrived, it would be a waste to not see Father at least once." He said, releasing her hand, and crossing his own.
The door opened to a tall auburn haired man, he looked like a huge Eryx, his tie pulled slightly, a nice dress shirt his hair looked like a massive mess, he pulled his glasses off revealing grey eyes. He faced Juvia.
" Who're you?" He asked, pulling out a pen scratching his head.
" Father, this woman is here on business, I advise you to stop slagging, and speak fast." Eryx said, pushing his way throw. His father was left dumb folded, as Juvia was too. The tension broke when Orion looked over turned to see his father standing in front of him.
" Pa-pa… I miss you, this much." He said, looking over at his father opening his arm's to the fullest his tiny arm would ever go.
" Hmmm…. Well, guess how much Papa missed you?" He asked, giving Juvia a look of, 'may I?' She passed over the toddler, who seemed unwilling to let go.
" No, I stay with Mama!" He proclaimed, hugging Juvia tightly. Juvia giggled at his determination,
" Okay then, but how will you know how much I missed you when you won't even hug me?" He said, turning his head to the toddler. The toddler looked up to Juvia,
"Okay Mama, pwease put me down?" He said, giving a look of courage, Juvia did so. He waddled his way to his father's feet, who bent over, and plucked him up.
" Well, Ori-Chan I missed you this much." He said, the toddler looked at him.
" You not..Sowing how much?" He said, eyes developing tears.
" Really? Well, I'm missed you so much word, nor size can explain how much I missed you, and your brother." He said, snuggling him up; kissing his little red nose. Juvia stood there taking in all adorableness. " So, you're my new wife?" Asked the father, scratching the back of his head.
"HUH?!" Juvia faced turned crimson.
To Be Continued...
Again, thank you for reading I take suggestion! I loving hearing your opinions, especially the hard true.
" Oh.. The next chapter should also be up soon, I wrote these a bit after each other. You'll probably skip this, but still love the fact that you read my story!" Adjust my own glasses, "So, I'll give you a preview!"
"Juvia will do it!" Juvia said, standing up; gripping his clenched hand.
" Thank you…" A tear ran down his tired face, he wiped it off; looking back at her, a gentle smile came to his lips. "Umm...Here, you take it." He said, awkwardly pulling the cold metallic necklace over her head, it gently fell to her filled chest.
