(Erza's POV)
"Master, where are you going?" I asked. He stopped at his office door and clenched his fist.
"I'm going to that house and making sure we catch Gajeel in the act and we can lock him like I told you." He said.
"But, what about the guild?" I asked.
He raised his head, "You will stay here and watch the guild until I get back. I'll keep you posted just don't say anything to the others." He said. He opened the door and walked out towards the guild doors. I sighed and walked out of his office as well and walked over to the bar. Mira made me a whiskey and I gladly took it. I looked over to see Master was already gone.
"So Erza, how did the talk with master go?" Lucy asked.
"It went fine. Now, I'm going home. If any mail from master comes tell me immediately and do not open it, it is confidential." I said. I stood up and walked over to the doors and walked out leaving a very curious guild behind.
(Gray's POV)
I opened my eyes and blinked a few times. I sat up and I saw Natsu was still watching the screen. He looks like he hasn't slept at all. I softly got out of bed and tip toed over to Natsu and wrapped my arms around his waist and put my chin on his shoulder. "Hey." I said. He jumped and put a hand to his heart.
"Damn Gray, do you have to sneak up on me?" He said. I chuckled he's so cute when he's frightened.
"Sorry Natsu, what have you been doing all night?" I asked.
"I've been contemplating the reason Juvia attacked us last night." He answered.
"Have you come up with anything?" I asked. I sat down next to him and he smiled.
"I have few theories." He said. He flipped his bangs out of his eyes and sighed. "Ok so the first theory was that she somehow discovered that we started dating and is trying to get me out of the picture permanently. She may be working with Gajeel or maybe both." He said.
"That would seem like something she would do." I said.
Natsu sighed, "If it were either one…I just wish she would leave us alone." He said sadly. I frowned, he seems so sad. I mean I would be more scared than sad. I mean there are now 2 people trying to kill Natsu and or me.
"Don't worry; Erza should have gotten the information from Gramps by now so she should be on her way back." I said.
He sighed, "I guess you're right. I just hope nothing else happens." He said.
Natsu looked back at the side table and stood up. He kneeled down and opened the drawer and pulled out the small box he planned to give Gajeel in the hospital. He walked back over to me and sat down and next to me and opened it up.
"I wanted to give this to Gajeel…But, I want to give it to you more." He said. It was a heart shaped locket.
"Why would you give this to Gajeel if you don't love him anymore?" I asked curiously.
"I got for him and Lily. I know how much he loves Lily, so even though Lily isn't with him now. He would always be close by." He said. That sounded really sweet, I think Gajeel might have liked it. He handed the locket box to me and I smiled.
"Maybe sometime before we go, we can get a picture on the beach and I'll keep it in here." I said.
He smiled, "Sounds like a plan then." He said. I closed the box and placed it next to me. Natsu rubbed his eyes and I frowned.
"Are you ok? You look like you're tired." I said. He looked over at me and continued to rub his eyes.
"I am tired, but I'm too afraid to fall asleep." He said. I frowned, what happened to make him afraid of falling asleep.
"What happened?" I asked. He sighed and started to shake a little bit. I put my arm around him and he laid his head on my chest.
"I had a nightmare about Juvia shooting us through the window. She shot at us, but you didn't make it to the window and she shot me and I got glass in my back." He said. He shook his head and held his head with his hands. "I can't go on its too horrible." He said. He had tears running down his face and I held him tight. He cried into my chest and I ran my fingers through his hair. "I just want this to end Gray. I don't want to die over a jealous love sick girl and a guy who can't take a hint." He cried. I sharpened my eyes so that they were almost glaring.
"I will not let that happen, Natsu. They'll have to go through me first." I said.
He looked up at me, "No, I will not let you go down for me. That is not how this is going to go." He said.
"Natsu, you have to let me help anyway. So, I will do anything to protect you." I said.
"And I'm going to help you anyway I can." Natsu said. He wiped the tears from his eyes and put his head back on my chest. "I can't lose you Gray." He whispered to me. I frowned and ran my fingers through his hair.
"You won't lose me Natsu, just I won't lose you." I said. He continued to cry into my chest and I frowned. I looked out the window; it's a beautiful day out. "Why don't we go out you know? It's beautiful out, plus I need someone to fix that window before the resident comes back." I said. He looked up and nodded. He let go of me and stood up. He grabbed some clothes and walked out of the room. I smiled and stood up and grabbed some clothes as well and began to change as well. I put on a pair of black pants and my black shirt and my white trench coat. The door opened and Natsu walked in and I almost lost blood. He was wearing a pair of black short shorts and his black vest. "Man, this is embarrassing. I forgot my pants that go with this best so I have to wear these shorts." He complained.
"Y-You look great Natsu." I said.
"You sure, I feel like Lucy when she wears stuff like this." He said.
I wrapped my arm around his waist, "I'm positive. Now let's go and have fun." I said. I grabbed his hand and we left the house, forgetting about our problems.
(Master Mokarov's POV)
I got off the train and walked to the front of the train station. "Now all I have to find those boys." I said. I tried to pick up on their magical energy source. I felt it getting stronger with every minute passing by. I opened my eyes and headed west towards the small town outside of Amane. "Don't worry boys, I'm gonna help you fix this mess." I said.
