Gray looked down at the ribbon in his hand. It was white and had a cursive J embroidered out of blue thread on it. It was the same ribbon that had fallen out of Juvia's hair when he had tended to her after she had been poisoned by that snake. He had been meaning to return it to her and he figured that maybe she might be able to help him find out who he is. He didn't know where she lived but he had a good feeling that it was somewhere across that old bridge. He went up to the cliffs and walked across the bridge.

He found a trail and it led him straight to the Fiore settlement. Everywhere he looked he saw creatures who looked like him and Natsu. They all dressed so modestly. He understood why they hid their body parts that identified what gender they were but why did they cover the other parts of their body? Putting that thought aside he began searching for Juvia. He made sure to avoid the men in uniform because they attacked him last time.

After looking around for awhile he finally spotted her. She was looking out the window of something he had never seen before. In his mind it was either a giant cave or a giant den but in actuality it was a manor. Unfortunately there were men in uniform every where. He needed to create a diversion and at the moment the perfect opportunity arrived.

Several of those men were leading an elephant through the street which was carrying cargo. He made a roaring sound which frightened the elephant into going rogue. The men in uniform quickly went to calm the large animal down. Leading them was a very gruff and muscular man with black hair. Gray recognized him as the man who Juvia hugged the last time he saw her.

"Bloody elephants! Get a hold of yourself!" He said to them.

While they were all distracted by the disturbance Gray climbed up the manor walls and went through the window of Juvia's bedroom.

"What are you doing here?!" She gasped when she saw him. "I implore you to leave at once. It is very inappropriate for a a gentleman to be alone in a lady's room especially when he lacks clothing."

Gray held up the hair ribbon he had brought.

"Is that for me?" She held out her hand and he dropped the white ribbon into the palm of her hand. She looked at it skeptically. "Where did you get this? This was my favorite ribbon when I was a little girl. I used to wear it in my hair all the time but I lost it one day after wandering off into the jungle. Funny thing, I had a weird dream that day. I dreamt that a little boy saved me and helped my brother find me."

As she tried to remember the boy from her supposed dream she realized that Gray and the boy shared many similarities. Same black hair, same gray eyes, same blue mark on the chest, same chain with the sword through the stone pendent around his neck. At first she thought that it was a coincidence but then she quickly realized that with that many similarities it couldn't be just a coincidence.

"Are you him? Are you the little boy?" Gray still didn't understand her. Her hand went toward his chest and touched the pendent on his chain. "It is you. Oh my goodness. I thought that I had imagined you. Wow...You sure do look different but in a good way."

She was surprised by how much he had grown. He was so tall and strong and very, very handsome. The most handsome man she had ever seen. She found herself blushing real hard as she gazed at his muscular chest. She had never been this close to a shirtless man before.

Gray wondered why she was looking at him so strangely. Then again that's what he had been doing to her ever since they first met. But what really puzzled him was that her cheeks were turning red and she seemed flushed. What was making her like that? Was it him? Was he making her uncomfortable? What did he do?

There was a sudden knock at the door.

"Juvia are you in there?"

"Oh no it's my brother!" She cried. "If he finds you here he'll kill you."

She quickly pushed him down and pointed under her bed.

"Go under there." She told him.

Her words were a foreign language to him but he could tell that she was in a panic and he understood what she wanted him to do. He crawled under bed. It was a tight fit but he managed to squeeze in there. She then went to open the door.

"Gajeel what brings you by?" She asked.

"I thought I saw a man sneak into your room."

"A man? In my room? Gajeel what kind of woman do you think I am?"

"I don't mean it like that Juvia."

"I know I was just kidding. You know Gajeel you really shouldn't worry about me so much. I'm not a child anymore."

"But you're still my little sister and I promised Mother and Father that if you were going to live here then I would keep an eye on you. I know you want more independence but this place isn't like Fiore. It's much more wild and dangerous."

"I know that Gajeel. I just- Gajeel no! Don't sit there!"

"What?"

But her warning came to late and he sat on the bed causing the mattress to crush on top of Gray. He let out a shout in pain.

"Ahhh!"

"What was that?" Gajeel asked sitting up.

"Now Gajeel don't get angry." Juvia said.

Gray crawled out from under the bed. Gajeel immediately pulled out his gun.

"Don't move!" Gajeel said.

"No don't shoot!" Juvia protested.

"Why is he here?"

"It's not what you think!"

Sensing danger Gray bolted out the window and started climbing down the wall. Gajeel sounded the intruder alarm for his men to hear. The soldiers underestimated how agile Gray was. He successfully climbed across the roof tops and dodged the bullets being fired at him. Their running speed was also not nearly as good as his.

"Wow he sure is fast." One of the soldiers asked.

"Is he even human?" Another asked.

"I don't know but if we let him get away. He was in the bedroom of the captain's sister."

"Oh no if that's the case then Captain Gajeel will show no mercy on him."

"No kidding. Remember what happened to that poor private who flirted with her. Now that was scary."

The chase seemed to be never ending but Gray managed to give them the slip. He was just about to make his escape when he was knocked unconscious by Invel hitting him in the back of the head with his rifle.

"Nice try wild boy." He sneered.

He and the other soldiers then dragged his body to the jail cell and locked him in there.
