Eat the Fairy

Chapter 2

The Boy of Ice and Color! The Girl of Water!

Death City, Nevada - 10:20am - Death Café:

Sitting inside a little café which has a black and white striped roof, sat the raven haired Meister and his blue haired weapon partner.

"How do you think Natsu-San and Lucy-San's mission went?" Question Juvia, as she took a sip of her coffee. Gray, who just checked his phone, "He said that their wavelengths match and now their partners" Gray explained with a chuckle, as he set his phone down.

"They're on their way back now; I bet Lucy already saw how that idiot gets with his motion sickness" Gray said again with a laugh, as he sat at a table right across from Juvia; with no shirt and a pair of jeans on.

"I'm happy that Natsu-San was able to find a partner; it's not everyday that you meet someone who's soul wavelengths are compatible right from the very start" Juvia said, as she took a bite of a croissant.

"Well look at us" Gray commented, as he took a sip of his coffee. Juvia paused and tired to think back to hers and Gray's meeting. While Juvia was thinking the waitress of the café asked if they wanted anything else, the pair declined and were given a check.

"Do you remember how we met?" Gray questioned with a raised eyebrow, Juvia blushed and turned red. "Yes, Juvia remembers" She whispered, a little embarrassed. "It's a day Juvia would never forget" Juvia continued in a soft whisper.

_Flashback - Years Ago_

Unknown wilderness, somewhere in Alaska, above the Arctic Circle line.

A short white haired boy and a raven haired boy were both sitting in the snow, with only boxer shorts on. Both boys were about six years old, as then an older women with short raven hair was in a bikini joining them in the snow.

"Ur, how long do we have to stay out here?" Questioning the white haired boy, that white haired boy's name was Lyon Vastia. "It's cold" Groaned the raven haired boy. That raven haired boy was Gray.

"The longer you embrace the cold, the longer you are able to withstand it" Spoke the lady name Ur. As she looked over the two boys, she smiled, as then a little girl with a bob cut raven haired then appeared.

"Mama, lunch is ready" Spoke the girl, "Thank you Ultear. We'll be right in" Spoke Ur. As the little girl was named Ultear and she was Ur's biological daughter. Ultear trudged back into a wooden cottage that was in the background.

"You boys are lucky, we'll end this early" Spoke Ur, as she got up and started backing back to the cottage; the two boys followed behind her.

"Help~" A voice called out. Lyon and Ultear didn't hear it, but Gray did. Gray turned around to see where the voice was coming from. "Please help" Cried the voice again, "Gray what's wrong?" Questioned Ur.

"Someone is calling for help" Gray said, "Lyon go back to the cottage" Ordered Ur, as Ur then moved next to Gray and Lyon started to run towards the cottage. Ur placed her body in front of Gray.

"Ice Ice Icy Ice - Ice Ice Icy Ice - Ice Magic" Ur began to chant, as sections of the snow began to glow, and then in the distance there was a little girl trying to run through the snow. "It's a girl!" Yelled Gray.

As she got closer, there were several men in white snowsuits following behind her. "Please help" Cried the girl again, as she finally got close enough to Ur. "Grab her Gray" Ordered Ur, as Gray grabbed a hold of a girl, the girl has curly blue hair and only a thin piece of cloth on as clothing, but a collar with a tag on her.

"J-Juvia?" Whispered Gray as he read the name tag. "You! You're the Ice Witch. Let us have the girl back!" Scream one man in a white snowsuit.

"Who are you?" Ur called back. "Give back the girl!" Someone yelled back, without answering Ur's question. Ur took a deep breath, as she looked down at the girl. The girl was in tears, "Juvia is from Russia… Juvia is a pistol. Please don't let them have Juvia back!" Cried out the little girl whose name must have been Juvia.

"She's covered in scars" Gray gasped, as he held her close. Juvia's little frail and pale arms were covered in needle marks and fresh and partially healed scars. "Looks like she doesn't want to go with you; so I'll be keeping her from now on" Ur stated.

As one of the men in the white snowsuits then fired a gun at her, Ur waved her hand and a shield of ice appeared. "You fools, I'll freeze you in your place and let you all die here!" Roared Ur. As a icy blue magic circle appeared above her, "Ice Ice Icy Ice - Ice Ice Icy Ice - Ice Magic!" Ur chanted, as the snow started to wrap the men in white snowsuits.

"Freeze" Ur whispered, as suddenly a snow storm kicked up, but it was not around Ur or Gray or the cottage. "Let's go," Ur ordered, as Gray then grabbed Juvia and did his best to carry her through the snow.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you" Gray said, as Juvia stared at Gray, and hearts formed in her hearts.

"Juvia remembers very well," Juvia said, as she looked at Gray with a soft stare. "And it was Ice Witch Ur who Juvia has to thank for meeting Gray-Sama" Juvia said, a little softer. Gray nodded, as he took a sip of his coffee.

"Yup, and now here with are" Gray laughed, Juvia nodded. "Juvia would not have wanted it any other way… Juvia shall stay by Gray-Sama's side for all eternity" Juvia vowed, with hearts in her eyes again. Gray rolled his eyes, "Yeah yeah - If you're ready let's head out" Gray said, as he finished his coffee; glancing and seeing that Juvia was also finished.

Gray paid the café cashier and they departed from the coffee shop, "Since we have a day off from lessons, do you want to go to the market?" Gray questioned. "Juvia would love too" Juvia replied, as they started to take a shortcut to get to the center of the town, surrendering the school; to get to the marketplace.

"Let's go this way, it's faster," Gray said, as she pointed to a dark alley, Juvia nodded. As the pair began to walk down the alleyway, there were people dressed in dark clothing looking at them. Juvia stood close to Gray.

"I'm here, don't worry" Gray said softly, as he put one of his hands behind his back, Juvia smiled and grabbed it. As they continued to walk down the dimmed alley way.

"Hey sweetie wanna have fun?" Called out a large man with a bald head, "Come here pretty girl" Whistled another one. "Ignore them" Whispered Juvia, as Juvia still held his hand slightly, as they continued on.

Coming to a 4 way turn, "This way Juvia" Gray said, as they turned down another alley way. Walking down this alleyway had a group of another ten people, they were taking up the length of the alleyway.

When Gray and Juvia approached they did now move. "Excuse us, we are trying to get through" Gray said, "Sorry pal you got to pay a fee" Growled one large thug, with a mohawk. "Fee is $150 - Oh wait, you guys might be Academy students… By the order of Lord Death the fee is now $300" Laughed a skinny thug, who had a leather jacket on.

"Do not dare to use Lord Death's name" Hissed Juvia, as Gray squeaked her hand. "Calm down, let's go" Gray said, as he led the way and pushed through the crowd of people. Juvia did her best to stay close, but she got pushed back by a female thug and separated from Gray.

As soon as Gray felt that Juvia wasn't near her anymore he whipped around, "You got some guts to just push pass us like that asshole!" Hissed the large thug, as the female thug was in front of Juvia.

The female thug smirked as the skinny thug then transformed into a weapon and appeared in her hand, he turned into a chef's knife with a five inch blade. Juvia was unfazed. "If you scream I'll cut ya" Laughed the female thug. Juvia huffed and looked at Gray.

"Give us everything in your wallet" Hissed the large thug, "Unless you want your woman to get hurt" He laughed, Gray smirked. "Cut her, I wanna see you do it," Gray stated. All the thugs froze, as they were shocked at the request.

"I'll do it punk, now give us all your money!" Yelled the female thug, who was holding the knife to Juvia's throat. "Do it." Gray said, as the female thug looked at Gray in shock. "Do it" Yelled the large thug, as the female thug closed her eyes and then slashed the white across Juvia's throat.

Juvia's neck slit open, and a blue light started to shine from the area she was cut. As her whole body was then turned into a glob of water. "Idiots, she's the weapon" Mocked Gray, as he held his hand in the air, the water glob wrapped around Gray's hand and then evaporated to reveal Beretta M9 handgun.

Whipping around, Gray then had the gun pointed to the forehead of the large thug. The other thugs were taken by surprise and moved away.

"I'm busy right now, so get out of my way" Gray said, as he glanced to the side to see the female thug rush him with the knife. He took a deep breathe and rolled his eyes, "Bang" He moved as he fired the gun into the forehead of the large thug in front of him, as with the other hand redirected the knife away and reached out and grabbed the center of the girl's body, "Freeze" Gray whispered, as a static shock moved from his hand and wrapped around the girl.

The female thug dropped the knife and fell to the ground, as she started yelling that it's getting cold; all while the large thug who got shot in the head fell backwards and was now unconscious. The other thugs scattered, as the thug who turned into the weapon transformed back into a human form and tried to check on the female thug.

Gray huffed and held his hand up, as the gun then turned back into Juvia. "Let's go Juvia," Gray said, as he began to walk away and Juvia followed. "Monster!" Yelled back the skinny thug who was trying to take care of his friends who were both down on the ground and unconscious.

Juvia glanced back, "They'll be fine - You know that. It was only my wavelengths I hit them with" Gray commented, as he continued to walk. They finally came to an opening.

"Juvia knows they'll be okay, but still, for regular people it is hard to get hit with another's soul pressure" Juvia said.

The opening was finally the market, as Juvia's face brightened up and she began to look at the multiple little stands that were selling different things.

As Gray was following behind her, 'She's right. It does suck to get hit with another soul's pressure' Gray thought to himself.

Gray was able to channel his soul energy into energy waves and use it in melee combat; along with when he uses Juvia, he is able to convert his soul energy into bullets - Allowing for unlimited ammunition.

"Ohh Gray-Sama, look at this fabric!" Cheered Juvia. As she held up a roll of fabric which contained a beautiful blue sapphire colored cotton. "It's pretty, if you like it we can get it" Gray commented. "Since you are a pretty lady, fifteen feet for $30" Cheered the vendor. "What no! Give me thirty feet for $25" Juvia commented back.

As her and the vender were going back and forward in trying to determine the price. "Okay fine, I'll give you thirty feet for $30" Said the vendor, as Juvia smiled. The man measured out the roll of fabric and wrapped it up for her.

"Thank you" Juvia said, as she was reaching for the bag but Gray grabbed it. "I'll carry it," Gray said before Juvia could say anything, Juvia nodded.

The pair were going from booth to booth, as Gray then stopped at a booth that was selling silver necklaces, "Young man, where did you get that chain from?" Questioned the seller, as Juvia glanced at the necklace around Grays neck, the silver one in the shape of the sword.

"It's a family heirloom" Gray sharply said, as he tried to walk away but was stopped by the vendor. "Wait young man, are you by chance a part of the Color Clan?" Questioned the seller. Gray frowned. "Color Clan?" Questioned Juvia.

"The Color Clan was a tribe of highly trained assassins, who have the trademark sword necklace and name of a color - But they were wiped out by Lord Death's order after they all turned into demons after greed consumed them all - For the right price they would have killed any and everyone" Explained the man, as Gray turned away.

"Juvia let's go" Gray said, as Juvia bowed her head and followed Gray as he quickly walked away. "Wait young man!" Cried the vendor, but he was ignored.

"Let's take a break," Gray said, as he walked towards a bench that was away from the market, but still within eyesight of it. The pair sat together, they bought a few stuff and some fresh produce.

There was a silence between them. Gray then glanced at Juvia who was looking away, "Remember when we met, in Ur's cottage. I only met her a few months before you showed up. My family was a clan of dark and dangerous assassins who let their greed take over them and they all turned into demons… And Lord Death called for the termination for the clan.. I was spared because I was so young" Gray explained.

Juvia looked at him, "Do you hate Lord Death for that?" She questioned, Gray shook his head. "There was nothing I could do about it, it was my old man that decided to follow the path of evil" Gray said.

Juvia was silent, as she turned away. "Look there is an ice cream stand, I'll get us some" Gray said, as before Juvia could reply he was up and walking towards the little ice cream shop.

After a few minutes Gray returned. "Pistachio Ice Cream in a waffle cone, topped with whipped cream" Gray stated, as he handed over Juvia an ice cream cone. Juvia's eyes lit up, as this was her favorite ice cream order. While Gray had a cup of cookies n' cream ice cream.

Both sat and ate their ice cream quietly, they both finished it a few minutes later. *Ring ring - Ring ring* Gray's phone started to ring, as he looked at it, "It's MiraJane" He quickly said before answering.

"Hello?" "~~~~~~~" "I'm at the market with Juvia right now, what's up?" "~~~~~~" "Eh serious? Right now?" "~~~~~~~" "Okay fine, we're on it" - Gray hung up the phone and groaned.

"We got a mission" Gray said, as he grabbed all the stuff, Juvia stood up and began to follow him. "What is it for?" Juvia questioned, "Some demon in Idaho" Gray answered.

"Let's hurry up and hopefully we can be back before tomorrow morning," Gray said, Juvia nodded.

_Time Skip - 6:00pm- Snake River Canyon, Idaho_

"Idaho is so pretty!" Juvia gasped, as her and Gray were in the Snake River Canyon, riding on a motorboat through the Canyon. "Where are we Juvia?" Gray questioned, as he slowed down the boat. "Uhm the South Fork of the Snake River" Juvia said, as she glanced at a map.

"Look there!" Gray said, as there was a wooden dam. "There shouldn't be a dam here" Juvia said, as she examined the map. "There, it's a man," Gray said as he pointed.

The man was wearing a hard hat, with red eyes, and weird claw-like hands and a flat tail. "A beaver?" Juvia questioned. As they approached, "What are you doing?" Gray yelled? As the weird looking man stared back at them.

"What are you doing in my water? Get out of my water!" Yelled the man as he ran and jumped off the wooden dam that he was building and within seconds he was swimming around the boat, causing it to swirl.

"Gray-Sama!" Cried out Juvia, as she was thrown to the floor of the boat. "What the hell are you doing?" Gray called out, as the man was swimming around the boat just as if a beaver would. "He's a demon" Gasped Juvia, as she tried to reach for Gray but suddenly, the boat was flipped.

"Juvia~" Gray gasped as he was thrown into the water, the sunlight was dying and it was getting dark. Gray couldn't see Juvia anymore. As he could see the demon beaver approaching him quickly, Gray braced for impact.

*Bang* *Bang Bang Bang*

The demon beaver began to swim away, Gray smirked and began to swim quickly towards the shore line. Hearing as there was another rush of water approaching him, *Bang Bang Bang*

Gray continued to smirk, as within a minute he was able to finally make it to shore, soaking, as he then tried to scan the waterline for Juvia or the demon. "Juvia!" Gray called out, as he placed his hand just at the edge of the water, as then a blue translucent form approached him and wrapped around his hand and when he pulled his hand out of the water it was a gun - it was Juvia.

"Gray-Sama, are you okay?" Juvia questioned, "I'm fine. Where is that bastard?" Gray questioned, as he backed away from the water edge. As a shadow from the water approached, the beaver like man began to appear from the water and step out.

"This is my water!" He cried. "Poor thing" Juvia whispered. "Why are you doing this?" Gray questioned, "They are trying to steal my water~ They can't! It's my water" Spoke the demon. "So you're a beaver that turned into a demon?" Questioned Gray.

"No you fool - I am Ahmik of the Indigenous Bannock Tribe. These business owners have come in and turned mother earth into their waste land and have polluted our waters for the last time!" Roared the demon.

"A poor man driven to the brink…" Gray whispered, as he shook his head. "You have eaten the souls of normal humans.. And for that you became a demon; in the name of Lord Death, we will stop you!" Gray proclaimed, as he fired shots towards the demon.

The demon enlarged his tail and turned around, using his beaver-like tail to protect himself. Firing more shots, Gray then charged, as he fired a shot and kicked; it pushed back the demon.

"Juvia multi-fire!" Order Gray, as he would pull the trigger and three bullets would be fired. As the demon and Gray then engaged in hand to hand combat, Gray was able to land a hit and release his soul pressure.

Causing the demon to fall to his knees, Gray fired another shot, the screech of the demon rang out. As he couldn't more, Gray then focused on the wooden damn that was left behind. "Stop, don't! This water is for my people! Please!" Cried the demon.

"Gray-Sama…", Juvia whispered, "Juvia cannon shot" Gray ordered, as Juvia obeyed. As A large orb of energy gathered at the ground of the tip of the barrel. Gray pulled the trigger, a large blast wave then stuck the dam; destroying it.

"No~" A wheeze of cries came from the demon, as a tear leaked from his eye. "My people" He whispered, as began to turn into dust and left behind a bright red burning soul.

Gray held on to Juvia, as rustling in the woods was heard. Gray turned to see a tribe of indigenous people watching. Many were older, a few young kids and a couple of middle aged.

Gray stared at the red soul, as he then picked it up and held it in his hand. "Gray-Sama?" Juvia questioned, but Gray didn't stay anything to her. As he approached an old wrinkled lady, who had a beautiful feather band around her head; Gray knelt down and held out his hand with the soul.

The old lady grabbed it and held it close, she nodded her head, as a single tear streamed down her face. Gray then got up, bowed his head. As he then tossed the gun in the air, and Juvia was able to transform back into her human form. She bowed as well.

Both started walking back to the boat, which by luck, was stranded on the bank of the river after the battle. "Juvia let's go" Gray said, "But Gray-Sama, the soul?" Juvia said.

"Indigenous people have very strong spiritual beliefs, I'm not comfortable letting you devour the soul of one of their own… Especially not when they're watching" Gray explained, as he tried to pump the engine to get it to start up again.

"The water level got lower," Juvia commented. "It rarely rains in this region of Idaho, that's probably what drove him to become a demon; a mix of civilization advancements taking over their land and the evaporation of the river that has been here for thousands and thousands of years.

Gray was able to get the boat engine to start, as Juvia climbed in the boat as Gray pushed the boat off the shore and then hopped in. As they then got their position and started to drive up the river, "This place needs rain" Juvia whispered, as she looked at Gray.

A smile appeared on Gray's face, "Juvia…" Gray said, Juvia looked at Gray and smiled. "Give em some rain" He cheered, as a big smile appeared on Juvia's face. As the boat was going at a slower speed, Juvia put one hand in the water. As her body started to turn translucent just like water itself, she turned her head towards the sky.

A few clouds were above; and more began to quickly move in. "Rain" Juvia whispered, as suddenly the sky then exploded with dark grey rain clouds and then a downpour came about.

The gentle rush of rain began to fill the river, as Juvia then glanced back and looked at one of the cliffs that were above the canyon. "Look," Juvia said, as Gray looked to where she was mentioned. It was one of the indigenous people from earlier, at the peak of the canyon cliff, in beautiful ceremonial wear - And he was dancing.

"It's a rain dance!" Juvia cheered, as she was captivated by the beauty and the fluid movement of the dancer. A smile is on Gray's face, "Let's head home Juvia" He said. Juvia nodded with a smile.
