Back with new chapter... XD


Chapter 7- Cana's dairy and a mission

'That Juvia is pretty smart, sometimes,' Gray thought to himself, 'Back to Cana's diary, I can't believe I'm doing this.'

He shut the door and locked it behind him. It was getting dark so he cleared up the living room, put his homework in his bag and walked to his room. He sat down on his bed and thought about the precious book he held in his hand. He did not want to read the hold book as Cana did not actually give him permission so he turned the page to the last time he met Cana. It was the day she told him about this new guy in her life.

Dear diary,

Today is the 15th of January and I got my heart broken again. I went to school as usual today, okay fine, truthfully I was in a really bad mood. In class, I sat in my seat and listened to Miss Mira drone on and on about something that I honestly cannot remember. Oh, and Miss Mira brought in a new guy into class. His name is Loke, he was from Blue Pegasus Academy. When the bell for the last period before recess rang, Gray asked me to go to recess with him but that stupid Loke had to interfere with it. He said something in a really arrogant way and I lost my temper. I punched him and he flew to the wall on the opposite side of the classroom. Then, I went for recess with Gray. We talked and he told me that if Aoi left me it means that he was not the one for me. He also told me that there's always someone out there for me. I agreed and I returned him his jacket. I hoped what he said was true as I'm in love with someone and I don't know if he will return my feelings. So we when back to class when recess was over and Miss Mira gave us a test. Natsu copied the test from Erza and they both got into trouble. It was really funny. Anyway after school Gray gave Lucy, Juvia and me a lift home. Since, all four of us had nothing to do we decided to go to the park and play Hide-and-Seek. Both Gray and I ran to my secret place. When we were there Gray and I talked and something happened. This is the time where I got my heart broken slowly. (As Gray read this part he noticed tear drops on the paper.) I told him that I got over Aoi and that I thought that I was in love with another guy. I was planning on confessing to him but his reaction was strange. We lay on the grass for what seemed like hours and I got a phone call from Lucy. They could not find us and I told them that I was alone as Juvia was crying. I said that I will be having dinner outside and I told them to go back first. Gray smiled at me when I explained to him why I said that I was alone. But the smile was so unlike Gray's normal smile. It was like he was hiding something. When he helped me stand up he let go of my hand like it burned. Then, in the shop when I wanted to ask him if anything was wrong he gave me a letter and told me to give it to Juvia. JUVIA, of all people, I'll be lying if I said that I was happy for her at that time. Nevertheless, I took the letter planning to give it to Juvia. After, the silent meal he walked me home and I ran into the house without saying goodnight to him. I slammed the door and shout for Juvia, fake excitement in my voice. I gave the letter to her and ran up to my room to cry. I'm not going to school tomorrow I don't want to see him so soon. It's getting late I should probably get to bed.

Love,

Cana

Gray stared at the diary in shock. This was the last entry in the book. In mind was in a state of chaos. The beautiful Cana wanted to confess to him but he ruined it by giving her the letter for Juvia. He had to make this right somehow. He picked up his phone and noticed that it was only 7p.m. He looked through his contacts for Cana's name. He stared at it for a while before making up his mind. He called her.

"Hey, Cana is that you?" Gray asked her, his heart was beating painfully.

"Yes, Gray?" she asked in a surprised voice.

"Yes, it's me. I wanted to ask you something," he said his voice cracking.

"Really, and what might that be?" she asked back coldly.

"Can you go out with me today, now? I need to ask you something," Gray forced the words out.

"O-kay, what time?" Cana said, as she saw Juvia nodding her head.

"In half an hour, I'll be there at 7.30. Just wear something comfortable, we're going to the park," Gray replied, before snapping his phone shut.

Quickly, he changed into a knee-length shorts and a normal shirt and walked into the kitchen. He debated for a while before taking his car out and driving to Lucy's house. As, he reached their house, he took a deep breath and knocked the door. Juvia opened the door; he took out Cana's diary and passed it to Juvia who took it gratefully.

"Sit down, Cana will be down soon," Juvia gestured to the sofa.

Gray nodded and sat. Just as he sat down his phone began ringing. He opened his phone and saw that it was the master. He sighed and answered the phone call.

"Yes, old man this better be good," he spoke quickly as he saw Cana walking down the stairs.

"Yes, yes, you will be going on a mission, today. Go to the Ice Mountains and you have to find a small girl who was kidnapped by a bunch of idiots today morning. You will have a partner of course, considering the fact that you have to deal with a small girl and that you have no idea how to take care of little girls. Your partner is Cana. Good luck," the Master told him.

"But Master, she hates me –" Gray tried to say but the Master had already cut the line.

"What's wrong?" Cana asked Gray.

"I have to go on a mission, now. A little girl was kidnapped by some idiots today. The Master wants me to go to the Ice Mountains to save her," he told Cana without meeting her eyes.

"Okay, what does that got to do with me?" Cana asked, already guessing which girl hated him.

"You are supposed to be my partner. According to the Master I cannot take care of little girls," Gray in a really soft voice.

"Okay, go and pack I'll meet you at your house in a while," Cana said walking up the stairs again.

"Okay," Gray said as he turned to walk out the door.

"Don't worry, she still likes you," Juvia said as she closed the door behind him.

# In an hour, outside Gray's house#

"You don't have to come if you don't want to you know," Gray said as he put their bags into the back seat.

"It's ok. I'm sure the poor girl wouldn't want to spend two whole days with a jerk like you," Cana said in a happy voice.

Gray stiffened and replied, "You're right."

Cana and Gray both got into the car and Gray started driving. Awkward silence filled the car. It stayed that way till they were half way to the Ice Mountains and Cana broke the silence.

"So you asked me to go out with you. What did you want to talk about?" Cana asked curiously, secretly hoping that Gray was going to ask her to be his girlfriend.

"Forget it. Now's not the time," Gray spoke up, his voice sounded tired and in pain.

"I'll forget it for now," Cana agreed.

Cana P.O.V

I wonder what's wrong with him. He sounds like he's in pain but he has no injuries as far as I know. I wonder is there any problem with Juvia. They don't seem to be dating though. Juvia was the one who encouraged me to go out with him today. Is it because of me? What did I do? Come to think about it, Juvia said that he was day-dreaming in class and that he left early. It can't be my fault, can it? I didn't even go to school today. *Sigh*

P.O.V ends

Gray P.O.V

She's totally right. I am a jerk. Oh and yes Cana, I called you out so that I could apologize for everything I have done. I called you out so that I could ask you to be my girlfriend. Now, I know that you're seriously angry at me and that whatever I say is just going to make you angry. Cana, I'll protect you and that girl at this mission, I swear.

P.O.V ends

Gray gripped the steering wheel hard and sped up. He wanted to get there before midnight. Fortunately, there was not much cars around, so there were no problems getting to the mountain.

# 11.30 pm at Ice Mountains #

The two mages trekked up the cold, slippery mountain. The cold obviously did not affect Gray but it took a toll on Cana. Noticing that, Gray went forward to find a cave so that they could spend the night.

"Hey, Cana, come here. I found a cave. We'll spend the night here before going to safe the girl tomorrow," Gray called out.

Cana nodded and hurried into the cave. Gray followed her and closed the entrance with his Ice Make magic to stop the snow and cold air from coming in. Cana sat down in a corner of the small cave hugging her haversack and her legs to her body. Gray saw that she was shivering even though she was wearing like three jackets. He sighed, he knew she was going to kill him for what he was about to do but he could not careless about it. He walked over to her and sat next to her. He opened his haversack and took out a thick blanket. Taking Cana's bag from her he draped the heavy blanket over her legs. He put both their bags on the other side of Cana and hugged her. Cana was shocked and her body jerked away from the sudden contact. Soon, she relaxed and hugged Gray back. After, a few minutes of just sitting there, Cana broke the silence.

"Gray, is there anything wrong?" Cana asked him, lifting her head from his shoulder.

"Nothing's wrong," he answered, softly.

"Come on, I already know something's wrong. Is it because I called you a jerk? I'm really sorry about that," Cana moved away from his hug.

Gray opened his eyes in shock. He turned his head to the side and saw that Cana was still sitting there. He leaned his head on the cave wall, closed his eyes and began to speak in a voice that was full of emotion that it was foreign to him.

"That day when we played Hide-and-Seek and you told me that you got over Aoi and you said that you thought that you liked another guy, I felt different. It was like I didn't want you like another guy. I wanted to tell you to be my girlfriend but I couldn't make myself say it. If you were happy who am I to deny you that happiness? I was jealous for the first time in my life. When I saw Loke talk to you I thought that I was going to lose you but I guess I already lost you," Gray spoke as tears fell down his closed eyes.

"Gray…" Cana reached out to him, "seems like there's a lot for me to explain."

She put her hand on Gray's cheek and wiped the tears away.

"The guy I was talking about is you. You should know that by now right? Since you asked Juvia to take my diary," Cana smirked.

"How did you know?" Gray asked her.

"I told Juvia that I liked you since the time I met you at the secret spot. She understood. Apparently, another girl was in the heart of her beloved Gray-sama. So, when you asked me to give her the letter, I thought maybe you changed your mind about Juvia after all," Cana ended.

"Cana, I love you," Gray told her as he kissed her on her forehead.

"I love you too, jerk," Cana told him as she stared into Gray's eyes. Both of them i leaned forward, closing the gap between them, till their lips meet. They pulled apart after a few moments, blushing as they fell asleep at each others arms.

# The next day at Ice Mountains #

"Cana, come on we have a little girl to save, remember?" Gray woke her up.

"Five more minutes," Cana said still asleep.

Smirking, Gray undid the Ice Make magic at the entrance of the cave. As the cold wind rushed in Cana jumped up.

"Okay, okay, I'm awake," Cana chattered.

After, eating breakfast and drinking ice cold water they trekked higher into the mountains. Soon, they reached the camp of the kidnappers. They saw a little girl with a blue hair and a small, white cat beside her. One of the kidnappers was shouting at the girl and she was crying.

"Let's go, Gray," Cana said in a scary voice before jumping up and strolling to the camp with Gray like they owned the place.

"Hey, who the hell do you think you are?" kidnapper 1 said.

"We think that we are Fairy Tail's mages," Cana said with a grin.

"Get them," said the guy who was ordering the rest around. (He's the boss.)

"Gray, get that idiot. I'll deal with the rest," Cana planned.

Gray nodded as he ran forward. After ten minutes of continuous fighting they tied up all of the kidnappers. After a quick call to Master, the three of them left the camp. Giving, the little girl her jacket, Cana was freezing so Gray gave her his. In the car, Cana questioned the girl.

"Hey, kid, what's your name?" Cana asked her.

"Wendy Marvel, this is Charle. I'm an Air Dragon Slayer," Wendy told them.

"You are an Air Dragon Slayer? Kid, looks like Natsu and Gajeel will have someone to talk to now," Gray told her.

"Who are Natsu and Gajeel?" Charle asked.

"Natsu's the Fire Dragon Slayer and Gajeel is the Metal Dragon Slayer. Oh and there's Happy too. He talks just like you," Cana answered.

"Charle, do you think they'll know where Grandine went?" Wendy asked.

"I don't think so Wendy. Natsu's looking for Igneel and Gajeel is looking for Metalicana," Cana told her, "Go to sleep now both of you. Master would want to talk to you two."

"Yes. What are your names by the way?" Charle asked.

"My name is Gray and her name is Cana," Gray answered from the front of the car.

"Is he your boyfriend Cana-san?" Wendy asked.

"Yes, he is," Cana told her as she made Wendy lay down on her lap.

Soon, both the girl and the cat were asleep and they were about the reach Gray's house.
