It Never Ends

Chapter 27: The Storm Ahead Part 1

Natsu and Kagome's New House

Kagome was unpacking the last box, when a familiar voice shouted "Kagome".

She spun around almost dropping the box. "H-Hojo".

Meanwhile, Natsu was in the house unpacking the boxes. Gray and Gajeel were helping place the dishes on the shelf. Hana, was running around playing with her teddy bear.

"So Hojo, what are you doing here?" Kagome asked, breaking the silence. "Why did you move back?" he ran his fingers through his hair."For him. I love him.". "But you brought this house! And you're the only one really working!" Hojo shouted, causing Natsu to come out.

"Can you stop yelling out my fiancee' like you have no sense" Natsu said, stepping in front of them. "She has lost hers, by coming back here". Natsu wiped his face and grabbed his ear "You're going to lose your face if you don't leave now".

Hojo stumbled as Natsu let go of his ear and walked back inside. "Kagome, ok you?" Gray began to ask. "I'll be there is a sec" Kagome assured him. Gray nodded walking back in.

Hojo looked at Kagome, her eyes sincere. "Hojo..." she began. "No matter how much I used to love you in the past, I love him now. I can't change that. You're going to find a way better girl than me to marry one day. But you have to forget about what we could've have to get her.".

Hojo nodded and stood to his feet. He hugged her and whispered "I'll come back to show you my progress, you just keep safe.".

Kagome walked back into the house, as Hojo left the cab. "Well we better be getting home. Juvia wants to go to this fancy restaurant" Gray announced, as Kagome walking into the door. "Say bye Hana". The little girl waved, as they walked out.

Gajeel walked out, and hugged Kagome. "I have to go. Levy is waiting at home for me. Plus we have a kid on the way." Gajeel gave Natsu a hug and left out the door.

Kagome looked at Natsu, "what do you want to do?". "Get a Career and have a baby" Natsu joked. "I like that idea, but to bad I'm tired" Kagome smirked walking off.

Natsu followed Kagome, turning out the lights behind him.

Koga's House

"But you promised that we'd be ready by nine to meet them" Ayame yelled, knocking over a vase. "You're over reacting. The car just isn't working, we can go next time" Koga assured her, flipping through the channels. "We were suppose to be planning a surprise party for Kagome's return" Ayame said, calming down. "That's it?!". Ayame nodded her head "What else would it be?". "You can do that whenever, it doesn't have to be tonight".

"No it can't be!" Ayame protested, slamming the door behind him. Koga sighed, and called Jellal.

Jellal's and Erza's House

The Twins were running around. "Ai, Josh, Slow down" Jellal demanded, answering the phone. "Hel- lo". "Hey Jellal, it's Koga. We can't make it tonight". Jellal, confused replied "Um..tonight's the girl's night out. Tomorrow is the football game. Then the day after is the big dinner". There was silence for a long time. "Oh, well Thanks. Have a Goodnight".

Jellal watched Erza come out in a black leather dress and high heels. She gave him a kiss and left out the door.

Gajeel and Levy's House

Gajeel was washing the dishes, helping Levy with them. He threw a soap sud at Levy, then turned away acting like he didn't do anything. Levy smiled and threw one back. Soon she ended up in her arms, kissing.

Suddenly, Levy started groaning in pain. "Lev, you okay" Gajeel said, his smile, turning into concern. Her grip got tighter. "M-my water broke" she finally said. Gajeel's face turned green, almost faint. "You can't faint now! You have to take me to the hospital".

Gajeel grabbed the car keys and his cell phone, carrying Levy out the door.

Gray's Household

"Hana it's time for your bath with mommy" Gray said, crawling towards the blue-haired maiden. Hana giggled as she crawled away from her daddy. Juvia walked up behind, Gray sitting up with Hana in his arms.

"Hey Juvia, What's wrong" Gray asked, looking at the tears coming down her face. "Levy just went into labor, but they had a car crash" Juvia said, breaking down. Gray's face went blank.
