Chapter 52

Aya's POV

Location: The Fairy Tail Guildhall, Magnolia.

I was worried. No that's wrong I was really worried. Of course what would there be to worry about I mean Natsu was alright, I had my friends around me and everything here was just simply perfect. But there was one thing about this.

"Aya, you know what's up with Rin?" Yukio asked leaning in across the table. "He won't talk to me"

"No…" I mumbled "Sorry Yukio"

Truth is that Rin won't speak to either of us and hadn't been doing that since Natsu picked a fight with Gray this morning. Actually Rin hadn't been speaking to anyone. He had just been sitting in the corner of the guildhall all day and doing nothing.

I sighed and walked up to Rin. I sat down next to him and leaned my head against his shoulder.

"What's up Rin?" I asked looked at him worried. "You're worrying me and Yukio out"

"Aya," he said not looking at me.

"Yes?" I asked. Was he gonna tell me what was wrong?

He sighed. "I hate to ask you this but… how would you feel if I left?"

I started tearing up. "I… It'd be alright," I lied.

Rin wiped away my tears and shook his head. "Don't lie Aya," he said. "You won't be alright," he sighed once more.

"You are wondering if you should stay or go," I concluded.

Rin nodded. "Guess I am" he said.

"I think that whatever makes you the happiest is good enough for me," I said.

Rin thought for a while before biting his lip. "I leave it to you Aya. I can't leave you," he concluded. "But I can't leave Yukio either." He said.

"Then it's settled," I said standing up.

"What is?" he asked looking confused up at me.

"I'm going with you to…" I bit my lip. What was the name of his world? Now that I thought about it, had he ever mentioned it?

"Assiah," Rin said. "Are you serious?" he asked. "What about Aki?"

I sighed as I looked over my shoulder at my twin sister. "She'll get over it," I said.

"You sure? She worries a lot about you," Rin said.

"Who told you that?" I asked. I didn't recall Aki telling him.

"She did, and so did Gray," Rin said.

I smiled and sat back down. "I know she worries," I said. I really did know but I also knew one more thing. "She has to learn that I'm not some kid that she needs to look out for. I think it's better if I leave," I said finally.

"If you're sure you can live with this. You will most likely never be able to go back," Rin said.

"I know," I mumbled. "I'll have to cross that bridge when I get to it," I finally said.

Rin got up. "If you're sure this is what you want we better go tell the rest," I just nodded and stood up as well.

Aki's POV

"YOU WHAAAAAAAT!" I yelled as Aya and Rin explained everything to us.

"Do you need me to repeat it?" Rin asked.

"We… no I found it the best way to solve the problem," Aya said. "Look this is not about you Aki but you do have been overprotective for a long, long time so I figured it would be the best for both of us if one left and since I got the reason I'm leaving with Rin and Yukio"

"But…" I whispered afraid my voice would crack if I spoke. "No I can't… You can't…" I felt my eyes be filled with tears.

Gray wrapped his arms around me. "Listen Aki," he said. "If it's for the better then just let go," he said. "She'll be fine. They're all nice people in Assiah. She'll be okay with them"

I looked away. "What about me?" I asked.

"You'll get over it as well," Aya promised me as she walked up to me. She pulled me into a tight hug and leaned her head against my shoulder. "I promise it'll be okay"

"You better take good care of yourself Aya," I whispered into her ear as I hugged her a little tighter finally allowing her to go.
