Chapter 37- Rena's plan

Running through the forest he was. His side still slightly ached as he ran. The same thoughts ran through his head the last few days. Lisanna slept with Gray, was the first one on his mind. The second was, Juvia can't be dead, how can Gray just accept it?! And the third was, Lucy's still in love with Sting. Natsu hated being in love with two girls at once, it was tearing him apart.

Tears spilled from his eyes as he ran. Juvia's not dead she can't be! They're all idiots! he screamed inside his head. How had Gray and Rena just let her die!? It infuriated him. Not because he had any kind of romantic feelings for the water mage, but because Fairy Tail hadn't truly won the battle if they didn't bring everyone home.

After storming through the forest on the rainy and depressing day it was (very suitable for a funeral), Natsu had reached Silence. He passed through the front entrance and headed through the dark corridor illuminated with his flames. When he reached the courtyard her saw her.

Natsu approached her, her back was to him. He couldn't understand why she was just sitting there.

"Rena, why are you still here?" he asked in a demanding tone,

Rena didn't even flinch, as Natsu walked closer, he began to notice a white light being emitted from her hands. Rena finally turned to him,

"Natsu-san, please, lend me your power." she requested extending a hand to him.

Natsu hesitantly took it and sat down next her silently. He looked at what her hands hovered over and noticed a puddle on the ground.

"I'll explain," she began. "I have the power to bring Juvia back. It's not easy, but I think I might be able to. The past few days I have managed to recollect her water body after the explosion. It didn't actually deteriorate her body, but shattered it into millions of tiny water droplets. If I can draw her entire water body back together, I should be able to reconstruct her to her living form using extremely advanced healing spells. In this form, I do not have the power to do it on my own, for that I need the lended power from you, Natsu-san. See, under normal circumstances, Juvia would indeed be dead. But something very powerful kept her spirit from moving on, something which I believe is love. Seeing as I can reconstruct her body, her spirit can perhaps merge with it if her feelings are strong enough. Keep in mind, this doesn't happen very often, I've only seen it happen once in all my life, the chances she'll pull through are hard to determine. As a mage of Fairy Tail, I'm sure you understand the power of feelings ne?"

Natsu nodded. He had so many questions, but he couldn't say anything for not being able to choose what to say first.

Rena held out one hand over the puddle in front of her and clasped Natsu's hand tightly in her other hand. Natsu was shocked to feel so much magical power running through her, he never really found out just how powerful she was. He transferred as much magical energy as he could to her for the spell. An icy breeze swirled around them and beads of water slowly crept into the puddle increasing its capacity more and more. Rena's eyes turned pale and almost entirely white hiding the gaze of her pupils. Her held out hand glowed a very bright white, in fact quite blinding. Luckily Natsu's eyes were too busy being blinded for him to notice the pickup in the icy tornado that surrounded them and Rena's short white dress fly up.

Rena revised the nature of the spell. It was something she had made up herself. Being the God of Winter, she could manipulate, mould and create anything from the rain to the snow and ice. She was attempting to mould Juvia back together, but it was hard considering she didn't exactly remember what she looked like, and Juvia would have to help her out even though she's partially dead. Juvia needed to co-operate in the remoulding of her body, but if as much as one water droplet was missing, Juvia wouldn't be able to survive.

Juvia's body slowly began to take shape, firstly her rough silhouette, then a little clearer silhouette, she then began to develop slight features like hair, lips, fingers, soon everything was almost finished. Her body became solid, and she was no longer in her water form, but her usual form.

"NATSU-SAN, CLOSE YOUR EYES!" yelled Rena punched him the face,

"Ooowww!" groaned Natsu falling backward.

When Juvia's body had been remoulded, she was naked. Natsu didn't really have a problem with it, he'd seen Lucy naked plenty of times. She looks pretty good though, I don't see why Gray didn't confess to her ages ago when he had the chance, thought Natsu. Rena ice-made a hammer and smashed it over his head, this idea was again stolen from Gray.

"AND STOP THINKING PERVERTED THOUGHTS." she smiled satisfied at his in pain response.

She turned her head back to Juvia who wasn't waking up like she should have been by now.

"There is something missing…." she mumbled to herself,

Natsu's keen ears heard her,

"You mean you don't have all of her?" he asked drowsily,

"Exactly." said Rena. "Actually… I'm sure I saw Gray-san leave with something frozen around his neck. Perhaps that's what it was?" she pondered,

"You mean that piece of ice around his neck is a part of Juvia!?" asked Natsu,

"Yes… I believe so." she answered.

Natsu and Rena both heard loud thudding feet approaching. They looked at each other and then the entrance to the courtyard. The thuds became louder and the person came closer. Natsu took a quick sniff of the air to catch their scent.

"Lyon?" Natsu questioned,

Lyon came running across the courtyard and slammed on the brakes upon seeing her.

"Juvia-chan?" he said shocked and wide eyed,

Natsu and Rena quickly glanced at each other and then turned to Lyon. Simultaneously, both powerful mages lifted their fist and slammed a knockout punch into both sides of his face. The two smirked and chuckled at Lyon who was sprawled across the ground dazed and probably passed out. Natsu and Rena turned to each other and high-fived celebrating their awesomeness. She has nice blue eyes… thought Natsu looking into Rena's eyes. Like Lisanna…. Damn it Natsu, don't think about that now, she cheated on you! He inwardly scolded himself.

"I'm gonna go kill Gray, and then bring back that necklace!" announced Natsu triumphantly,

Natsu broke off at a run but then found himself being pulled back by the muffler and slammed face first into the ground with one arm as Gildarts often used to.

"Can't you just hold on a sec and let me come up with a plan!" the winter god scolded.

She paced back and forth stepping over the two semi-conscious boys, completely oblivious of their groans of agony.

"I've got it!" she announced pointing a finger up into the air,

"Lyon-san!" she commanded picking the ice mage up to his feet.

Lyon's gaze drifted towards Juvia but before he got the chance to ogle at her naked beauty, a sharp pain recognised as a slap stung his cheek, as if it didn't hurt enough already! Lyon grumbled in his head.

"Go back and find Gray-san! Steal the necklace around his neck and bring it back to me! If you lose it, or break it, Juvia will die. Now go!" she barked,

"Juvia's not dead?" he asked with a look of desperation,

"Not yet but she will be if you don't hurry up!" she growled,

Rena kicked Lyon with such force he was sent flying several metres. Lyon turned around and ran off, leaving Natsu alone with Rena again.

"So what do I get to do?" he asked her rubbing his head.

"Stay here with me!" she chirped, "….Natsu-sama," she purred seductively,

It was only a second later that Rena was on top of Natsu pinning him to the ground on her all fours. Her ample bust was pressed against his chest, her hands travelled from his collarbone do to his biceps which she stroked and admired for minutes. For some reason Natsu didn't move, he kind of just laid there with a puzzled look on his face. Rena sat up a little bit,

"Very good!" she commented on his muscular build.

Next she very strangely started running her hands along his toned abs. She drew circles and stroked them, she even went as far as brushing her cheek up against them. And still for some reason that even Natsu couldn't fathom, he was letting her. She sat up a little bit and tilted her head to one side,

"AAwwww you're so cute!" she remarked with a bubbly face,

She leapt off him and offered him a hand up. Natsu looked up at her but declined her offer and stood up himself. He looked down and awfully miserable.

"What's wrong, Natsu-san?" she asked,

A tear spilt from his eye and he swallowed.

"I don't even know where to start." he said.

"Not the start, but not the end. Just anywhere in between," she told him,

Natsu had come to the conclusion that this girl is rather peculiar.

"Well…. I love Lisanna. She is half of my world. But the night after I made her mine, she found someone else. My best friend… Gray. She ended up pregnant but she didn't know who the father was, she ended up losing the child after she took a hit for me from Angel though. She told me that she didn't mean to, and that she was drunk. She said it was all because she thought I loved someone else. She was right, the other half of my world is Lucy, but she is with Sting now, it's too late. Then we all thought Juvia was dead and Gray never got to tell her how he felt. It's hard to believe that his feelings are sincere now that I know what he's done. I was never really close Juvia, but I care for her a lot, and she doesn't deserve someone who can't be loyal to her. I'm just so confused and stressed, what do I do in this situation? I never really thought about anything before, I just did it…. but now, everything has changed."
