Dear Readers,

Yay! New Chapter! I'm having trouble finding time becasue I'm running for student council secretary. Campaigning is so much work!

Anyways, after this week i think I'll have more time for updates.

Well, both in reviews, PMs, and in the 'real' world i have received info that people would rather have Kima's mom be an OC so that's what I'm going to do. Like I've said before, I suck at writing long chapters, so please don't hate on me because of my small chapters.

Anybody else love how cute Asuka was in Episode 128? She was the cutest wittle twing! haha sorry i just fell in love with her when she pulled on Makarov's mustache...And Asuka's 6! that makes it seem like Kima is waaay more mature than she should be.

Now for those of you who are fluent in the art of random japanese words in animes and mangas, I have put the translation for the ones i used in this chapter at the bottom.

Thanks once again to all my reviewers, favoriters, and followers, YOUR SUPPORT INSPIRED ME TO UPDATE! and also i thank those of you who have reviewed my one-shots since i don't reply to those.

Here are the replies to the reviews:

IloveCelestialIce: I'm glad you liked it Angel-chan! I'm trying not to make this story too romantic because i don't want to show that gray is in favor of either Juvia or Lucy, but I don want to put a couple romantic moments here an there...and yes i figured GraLu was your OTP. I can't decide whether my OTP should be JellalxErza or HaruxElie (Oh Hiro Mashima, why are you such a good writer?) And I think ultear is good sister figure for gray as well. So ya i've decide that i will make Kima's mom an OC. and thanks for you review and support!

fairytaillover: Yes, of course you would know about the pains of testing, Gin-chan.

suikodengel: aha they don't get along so well...but don't worry it'll get better as the story progressed ;) Oh and I fixed that whacked out sentence. Thanks for letting me know about it. and thanks for the review and support!

Sakura: ya thanks! I hope you continue to enjoy my story!

Darkmyr-InuYashaFan: He was 14 when he had a kid (glad that you figured that out) and thanks for reviewing this story and my other story too. I love reviews because they inspire me and thanks for the favorites and stuff to. I hope you continue to love this story! P.S. I love your avatar. XD

And so the short plan rolls into motion...


Juvia's POV

Juvia scanned the request board searching for the perfect mission. That's when Juvia's eyes found it. Yes, surely they will accept this one. Juvia tore the piece of paper off the board and scampered over to where Team Natsu was seated.

Juvia went directly to the fire dragon slayer and started speaking, "Hello Natsu, hasn't it been a while since your last mission?"

He nodded his head while placing his gaze on the paper Juvia is holding.

"Well, Juvia saw this request and thought that it might give you something interesting to do. I'm sure your will like it." Juvia handed Natsu the request and he began reading it out loud.

"A demon has been terrorizing our town. It is very dangerous and it will require a lot of fighting to be defeated. Reward: 280,000 Jewels." He grinned. "Let's go!"

Juvia smiled but noticed that Lucy looked worried about something.

"I'm fine with it. We can all pack our bags and meet at the train station." Erza stated.

"Alright." Gray-sama said, with no emotion apparent in his voice.

Juvia saw Lucy staring at him but shook it off.

Gray-sama stood up as well and exited the guild, with Lucy following after him.

Soon, Natsu and Happy also left.

Yes, now the first phase of Juvia's plan is complete.


Lucy's POV

A mission…..and Kima-chan will be left alone….again. It makes me worry about both her and Gray. He acts normal but he's probably just as worried as I am, he most likely always is. I perked my head up at the sound of his voice.

"You need to stop worrying so much. Its fine, it happens all the time."

I nodded and smiled, acting so worried wasn't going to help, so it would be better if I tried staying positive.

We entered gray's house and we both went to our rooms and started to pack. I didn't need much, so I finished packing pretty fast. I went back to living room and found Gray standing there, a duffel bag strung over his shoulder, and he was talking to Kima-chan.

"Now I don't know how long I'll be gone so make sure you eat the food I left for you. If you need an extra blanket you can take the one from my room, or if you sleep in my bed then take the one from your room. Take a shower or a bath and wash your hair. Don't make a big mess either. Don't get friendly with strangers and don't roam around town. Stay safe okay? I'll be back later, you can count on that."

Kima-chan smiled and nodded, she was already accustomed to what she was supposed to do when Gray went off on a mission. Gray placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Good Luck, daddy! Be careful! Bai bai Lucy-nee-chan!"

"Yosh! See you later Kima-chan!"

Gray and I started walking towards the train station. I hope everything will be okay…


Gray's POV

"Shut up hothead! Stop complaining!"

"Ugh…nnn….but…this stupid train….is making…me….blehh…..sick!"

Lucy's eyes bulged when Erza punched the idiot in the gut making his pass out.

I returned to staring out the window, but soon looked down at the request in my hand.

"The name of the town is Sperci Village; it is located between Kurugi and Oshibana. The demon is known by the name of Ligno. Its powers are unknown and it is fairly large. Ligno has been wreaking havoc and terrorizing the residents of Sperci Village. Our job is to kill the demon any way we can. It has been known to be weak against elemental forces such as fire, water, ice, and earth. Wind, however, does not seem to effect it. The demon is said to be a shade of purple with hints of red along its sides. It is reptilian and moves fast. It is very strong due to the damage it has cost the village."

"Hmm…elemental….then I might not be of much help in this mission." said Erza.

"No, you'll be helpful, remember that we don't know what powers it has." I responded.

"I wonder if I can use Aquarius…" Lucy said, while squeezing Plue. "Pu-puun"

"Lucy, you're hurting Plue!" yelled Happy.

"Oh really? I'm sorry Plue."

"Pu-puun" Plue started reaching for something on the floor between my seat and Lucy's.

I looked down and picked the object up.

It was a lollipop. I handed it to Plue and he started eating it with joy. Half of it was left and Plue handed it to Lucy.

"For me?"

"Pu-puun"

Lucy ate the rest of the candy. I sighed and stared back at the request. (A/N: Haha sorry I just wanted to put a Rave Master reference somewhere in this story…)

"280,000 jewels. That's 70,000 for each of us."

"Yes, that's a whole months worth of rent! I'll be one step closer to going back to my house!"

"Oh so you're saying that you don't enjoy living with Gray?" Erza questioned.

"That's mean Lucy, Gray's not that bad!" added Happy.

"No, no, I didn't mean it like that! It's not as if I don't like Gray or anything like that."

"So you do like Gray?" Erza kept persisting.

"NO! You know it's not like that."

"You liiiiiike him" Happy laughed.

"You guys, we're here." I stated nonchalantly. I didn't really care about what they were talking about, the only thing on my mind was Kima. I was wondering if she was okay…

Natsu woke up as the train started coming to a halt.

"Passengers, we have reached Kurugi! The next stop is Oshibana!"

We all stepped off the train and Natsu stretched his arms.

"Woo! We're finally off that stupid thing!"

"C'mon Natsu, hurry up, we have to walk to Sperci Village!" I yelled.

"Yeah yeah, I'm coming!" he rushed after the rest of us as we walked to the small town.


Kima's POV

I sat alone at the table munching on plate of food that daddy left for me. I sighed.

It's lonely without daddy…

Daddy is goes on missions a lot. I know he worries about me, and I worry about him too. I just wish that I could on missions with daddy. That way, we could always be together.

I jolted up when I heard someone knock at the door. I hopped out of my chair and cautiously approached the front door. I wasn't sure whether or not to open it.

"Hello?" said a girl's voice, "Can you open the door? Juvia will not hurt you."

Juvia? Where had I heard that name before? Oh, Juvia is one of daddy's friends!

I unlocked the door and it swung open to reveal and girl with curly blue hair wearing a dark blue dress.

"Hello, my name is Juvia Loxar."

"Yeah, you're a water mage right? That's so cool!"

Juvia looked surprised.

"You know who I am?"

"Uh huh, you're a Fairy Tail wizard!"

"I see, well since it seems that you trust me, would you like to go for a little walk?"

"Oh sure!" I strode out of the house and closed the door behind me.

Juvia and I started walking down the street. I looked at her.

She's pretty, like Lucy-nee-chan.

I looked to see what I was wearing. I was dressed in a yellow dress that ended right before my knees and it had short sleeves and ruffles near the top.

Juvia started to talk.

"So, what's your name?"

"Me? I'm Akima, but you can call me Kima-chan. Can I call you Juvia-nee-chan?"

"Eh? Juvia-nee-chan? But Juvia is not your sister."

"I know, but you're like a sister to me, so is Lucy-nee-chan!"

"Oh. I guess it is acceptable for you to call me that."

"Yay! Say, Juvia-nee-chan, what do you think of Fairy Tail?"

"Oh! It is a wonderful guild! I've made so many new friends and everyone is really nice. Thay all stick up for each other. Plus, I get to be near Gray-sama! Ano….what is your relationship with Gray-sama, Kima-chan?"

"Huh? Gray is my daddy!"

Juvia's eyes widened.

"Didn't I tell you? My full name is Akima Fullbuster!" I grinned, "and Gray Fullbuster is my dad. Is that so surprising?"

"Uh..er….w-who is your mother?"

I didn't know how to respond. Daddy never spoke of mommy, and I didn't ask, I just always thought that it didn't matter who my mommy was so long as I had my daddy.

I smiled and winked at Juvia.

"That's a secret," I whispered.

She clenched her fist and an angry aura started to surround her.

"Kowai." I said and shrunk back. I didn't expect to see her so furious. I didn't know why she was acting this way all of a sudden.

It suddenly started raining. Water poured down from the sky. And it was freezing cold. I was used to it since daddy always keeps the air conditioning at a really low temperature in the house. He was an ice mage, so all my life I had been experiencing really cold temperatures. But unlike daddy, I wasn't a wizard, so even though I didn't feel cold, I could still get sick.

I waved at Juvia, "We'll have to talk again later, Juvia-nee-chan, but I have to go for now!"

Juvia stood there as if lost in thought, and she looked angry.

I stopped thinking about her as I focused my attention on getting home. We had walked pretty far and I was running to get out of the rain and into some shelter. As soon as I got home, I ran to daddy's room.

I was soaked from head to toe. I ripped off my dress and started searching his drawers for something warm. I slipped on one of his shirts and looked for one of his blue and white coats, but then I remembered that he always wears it when he goes out on missions. I tried squeezing the water out of my hair and I pulled one of the blankets off of my bed and placed it on daddy's. I crawled onto his bed and pulled the covers over my head.

I took deep breaths for a moment and listened to the sound of the rain dripping onto the window.

I should be fin-'ACHOO!'

I sneezed and then I sneezed again, and then again.

Then I started coughing. Soon enough, I began to feel weak and tired.

Oh no, I'm sick!

I tried closing my eyes, but every minute or so I either coughed or sneezed.

I couldn't fall asleep, and my throat burned, and I was tired.

Why did I have to get sick now of all times?


Gray's POV

"Requip: Purgatory Armor!"

"Gate of the Water Bearer, I open thee, Aquarius!"

"Ice Make: Seven Slice Dance"

"Fire Dragon's Fist!"

We combined several attacks into one and blasted and cut the demon to death, however Lucy was washed away by her celestial spirit, who yelled at Lucy about how she shouldn't summon her because blah, blah, blah ,boyfriend, scorpio, and something else.

I wasn't really listening…..

I went to go check on Happy who had been knocked out of the sky earlier by the demon.

Natsu was hovering over his exceed with a worried expression.

"Happy, say something, are you alright?"

Silence.

I shook the blue cat, "Hey come on Happy, say something."

"Aye..." he responded weakly.

I let out a sigh, "Good."

Lucy and Erza came to join us.

"Is everything alright over here?" Erza asked.

"Yeah, Happy will be fine. Natsu isn't hurt, how about you two?"

"Nope, just a few scratches." Lucy replied.

"What about that gash on your arm, Gray?"

"It's nothing, it's not deep so it'll heal fast."

"Okay, then I guess we can go claim our reward and head back to guild now."

After that we all collected the money and hopped on the train back.

"So, Lucy, since you didn't pay the rent on time and they kicked you out, then how are you going to get your house back?" I asked in an attempt to get some sort of conversation going.

"Oh well, they kicked me out because I couldn't pay it and this other woman wanted it. So I figured that if I can get enough money to convince the landlady that I should get the house instead of the other person, then maybe she'll give it back to me…"

"Well, that might work, but I wouldn't count on it."

"Then maybe I can get the woman living there now to give me back the house."

"You could always try."

She started trying to think of ideas as to how to get her house back. I peered over at her, "You know, Lucy, you can stay with me as long as you like, okay?"

That was odd of me to say since just a few days ago, I was freaking out about her learning my secret. But know that she has gotten used to Kima, and Kima had gotten used to her, it's okay. After all, we're friends, right? So I've got to keep helping her out.

The train halted. I heard the conductor's voice ring out again, "We have arrived in Magnolia!"

I stood up and was the first to walk off the train, followed by the rest of the team. Natsu smiled because of his freedom from the terrors of motion sickness and ran off towards the direction of his house, with Happy, now fully recovered, following closely behind.

We bid our goodbyes to Erza and lucy and I were now heading back to my house.

We left for the mission yesterday morning, and it was now evening. I turned pushed open the door and walked in. Lucy and I set our bags down. I rushed over to my room, where I figured Kima was probably resting.

I stared at the figure on the bed. It was my daughter, and she her cheeks were a light pinkish color, her eyes drooped with exhaustion and she was coughing. I placed my hand on her forehead, and her body temperature was hotter than normal, but at least it was terribly hot.

Her eyes fluttered open as she felt my hand on her forehead.

"D-daddy? Welcome back. I'm sorry. I think I've caught a cold." Kima whispered.
