AN: Another chapter! This series is basically writing itself! This is how crazy I am, I just wrote an 85 page experimental research project, so what do I do now you ask? I sit in front of the computer even more and I write for more stories! AHH!I even have been itching to play some Final Fantasy, but nooooo I write!
So I have decided to start posting on my profile when to expect updates. I saw an author do this and thought what a great idea because I get pm'd all the time with this question! Usually when I get about 20 to 30 or so reviews I feel like I have to update haha, but at least that gives a guideline to this story as well as others I write if i post on my profile! Also have polls still up on the profile. Think the first might close because we have a winner but still not too late!
Enjoy!
Chapter 4; Collide
Juvia opened her eyes, her vision slightly blurred, and the feelings of grogginess still in her stomach. She had been pretty miserable most of the night. It had taken a few hours before she felt like she could breathe normally again, without a burning sensation, after the encounter with the cloaked man.
When her eyes focused Gray's chest came into focus, he was laying on his back, and her on her stomach half against him. She wasn't exactly sure how they had come to be in their current position, not that she was complaining. He had been surprisingly comforting yesterday, and through all the aches her body had felt, she enjoyed every bit of it, even if he had been a bit awkward, brash, and uncomfortable.
She lifted her body enough so that her forearm closest to his body supported her weight. One of his arms was around her, while his other rested on his taut muscled stomach. The comforter was around his hips in disarray, he must like the colder temperature when he slept. Every time she had pulled the covers up over them later he would pull them back down. Perhaps that was how she ended up against him, she had been cold.
She studied how his chest slowly rose and descended with each light snore he made. Everything about him was so attractive and ruggedly masculine, even the crossed shaped scar on his side looked like a piece of art. Before she realized it she had reached out to finger the scarred skin. He let out a sigh when she touched him. Juvia froze, afraid she had woken him, but he was still asleep.
He looked more like a little boy in that moment, than the man she knew he was. His messy nape of hair covered his forehead and eyes. His mouth slightly opened as the small snores escaped his pinked lips, lips that looked extremely enticing to her in that particular moment, not that she didn't think about kissing Gray several times in a day. Seriously who didn't think about those things when they were in love?
Her cheeks pinked slightly like she had said that out loud to him and he had comprehended every word. Before doing something embarrassing she decided it be best to go back to sleep. She cuddled herself back into his side, enjoying the warmth his body was giving off.
"Are feeling any better?" Gray grumbled. He cleared his throat stretching out his arms against the cushioned mattress. It took him a moment to realize Juvia was right up against him, it was an unfamiliar feeling, but not necessarily a bad feeling. She had a rough night and he had been worried about her. She had trembled a good hour after the incident, erratically breathing like it hurt, and tossed around like her body just ached. He had to admit, the girl was tough. Even though she was obviously in pain she never groaned, cried, or complained about the pain.
She nodded against his chest. "Magic still feels weak, but body feels better."
"You really think he was trying to take your magic, like completely away?" Gray had been thinking about the possible magic that could do that. It had to be a dark arts based magic, but magic was part of a wizard's soul, so what would that mean for the mage. Juvia had looked deathly pale with sunken rings under her eyes, and he had only had a hold of her a few minutes' tops. He was beginning to have a bad feeling about those wizards who had gone missing.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing you need to worry about." Gray turned to the side table, with his free hand he reached over to flip the clock back over. The bright red letters antagonized him. It was already almost one in the afternoon. "You feel up to snooping around for that cloaked freak?"
"What time is it?"
"A bit past lunch," Gray answered.
Juvia shot up from the bed, "One? Oh, Juvia didn't mean to sleep so long." She scrambled of the bed so fast in embarrassment that Gray barely had the time to blink.
"It's not really that big of a deal, it's not like you were in the best state." He watched her fuss about in the mirror, fixing her hair, adjusting her clothes, and rubbing the sleep from her eyes. It was oddly, what was the right word for it, cute maybe? Juvia turned to him giving an angelic smile, before going into the bathroom. Yeah, he'd go with cute.
Juvia emerged from the bathroom wearing a very oriental based outfit. It was sleeveless and came up to her neck, which haltered to the back showering her back. The Chinese dress came to just below her knees and slit up high into her thighs. It was a light blue and embroidered in gold and white. She glanced up at him, waiting for him to either say something or get up so they could get going.
Gray studied her for a moment, the girl was beautiful, and he fancied the outfit. Gray stretched back into the mattress once more groaning as a few achy muscles popped from the resistance. Even though it was one in that afternoon a small part of him wouldn't have minded staying in bed just a bit longer. It was a bit strange because normally he was so mission oriented.
"What are you thinking about?" Juvia asked shifting from one foot to the other as she studied him studying her.
"Huh," Gray mumbled. "Oh, hey I was thinking last night did you notice the mark on that guys hand?" It had been something he had been meaning to ask her. He hadn't gotten the best of look, but it looked like a triangle design with, maybe dots in the middle of it.
Juvia thought about it for a moment, "Sorry Juvia didn't get a real good look at his hands." She walked over to the window that overlooked some of the beach. She felt a bit angry at herself. She shouldn't have let that creep get a hold of her.
Juvia could hear Gray rustling behind her, but paid it no mind. She held up her left hand expecting it like a foreign object. She concentrated on her magic, the power emanating from her stomach, up her chest, and extending to her fingertips. The water magic pulled and swirled around her hand upwards to about a foot up in the air.
The hold on the magic she had faded as she lost her grasp on it. The small swirl of water disappeared from her.
Juvia sighed.
"Hey it's not gone, just not completely back yet. So don't worry." Gray spoke from behind her walking up to stand beside her.
"Just, it's a helpless feeling. Juvia never realized how much security magic was." Not only would she have trouble protecting herself without it, but what about her friends, Gray? If they got attacked she would be of no help, no worse, she would be a liability.
"Hey," Gray whispered placing his hand on her shoulder for reassurance. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you, besides its going to be back before you know it."
Juvia smiled. Gray could be so comforting when he wanted but, it still unnerved her to be powerless. There was nothing she could do about it now though.
"Come on maybe by now Lucy and Natsu have found a lead for us to go on."
They had found absolutely nothing.
Lucy and Natsu had been sitting on the beach now for the past hour. Prior to that, Lucy had gone around questioning anyone she had come into contact with if they had ever known anything odd since they had been on the island.
As for Natsu he had tried scouring the island hoping to catch the putrid scent of the cloaked bastard that had attacked his guild mates. It was strange that his scent it had completely vanished. It should be here somewhere, but no. It was irritating considering he normally could rely on his nose.
"This is useless," he groaned plopping down on the sand next to Lucy.
She was situated on a towel holding a virtually generated book, one of Levy's latest toys, and was scanning it with her quick read glasses.
Between her and Levy she had been hoping they could learn more about this dark arts and a possible purpose of taking wizards magic power. She swore every book she read was even vaguer than the last.
Sighing she finally set down the gadget that had been displaying her book, took off the glasses, and rubbed her eyes in irritation.
"Yeah, same on my end, this does feel a bit useless." She was becoming irritated as well. With no leads, their contractor, the hotel owner, still not back from a board meeting, they had nothing to go on. That old bat better be back tomorrow like promised or else she was really going to raise hell. Who contracted for a job, then wasn't there do give it to them? Did he expect them to go into these things completely blind? How many people were they even looking for? They needed descriptions, names, and ideas where to look!
"I wish Happy were here. This would be a good chance to scout out from the sky."
"Maybe Virgo will come up with something. She's been searching the caves around the area for an hour now."
He sure hoped so, he was so bored. It wasn't like they could relax and have fun with this job, it was critical, people were missing!
"Think Gray and Juvia will be down here soon?" Natsu asked.
"Juvia looked pretty out of it. Gray said this morning it took her time to even lie down comfortably. She was up most of the night. It might be smart at this point to let her rest as much as possible till we have something."
Natsu agreed. It would also be important for them to not separate individually either. He sure as hell didn't want that cloaked freak to get a hold of Lucy!
He stole a glance at her, laying against the beach towel, eye closed for a well-deserved break. Hell she was a beautiful girl. The only thing he didn't like about that purple stripped bathing suit, was that all the other roaming eyes could appreciate her curves as well.
Lucy was well toned and her delicate skin lightly tanned, with absolutely no imperfections. When she breathed it was impossible to not watch her breast raise, so close to spilling out of her small bikini top.
He's seen her without her top before, by accident, but wouldn't complain if it happened again. Those types of things felt so comfortable with Lucy, it really didn't embarrass him that much to think of her without her clothes on.
Lucy lifted herself up from the ground into a sitting position. She tried to ease the ache from her shoulders.
"I don't think I'm going to be able to read another book! My shoulders and neck are killing me!" Heck she had already read eight of them. It wasn't like she was slacking here.
"Come here." Natsu patted the space in front of him where he sat. Lucy gave him an odd look, here cheeks pinked slightly.
"You want me to sit in your lap?"
"I was going more for in front of me, but it's not like I'd complain if you were in my lap."
Lucy looked at him through her eyelashes, to self-conscious to actually make eye contact with him. Was he teasing her, in a more sexual playful kind of way, not to mention. He probably had no idea how that made her feel either.
"Oh, come on I don't know why you're getting all embarrassed." Natsu reached out grabbing her wrist to pull her over to him, placing her exactly where he wanted.
Before Lucy could protest, any thoughts of that ceased her mind, when his hand began rubbing the knots from her shoulders. She could have melted in that moment against his warm hands, that he had heated just enough to relax her tight muscles. Who needed hot massage stones when you had Natsu'a amazingly warm hands?
"Any better?" Natsu questioned, "I'm not hurting you right?" He was trying to apply the lightest amount of pressure he possibly could.
"Mhmm, note to self for whenever I have any aches in my shoulders."
"Hey, don't get too used to this!" Natsu said, but quickly thought maybe he really didn't mean it. Touching her was, well hot. Her skin was soft and silky under his calloused ones.
"Oh, honey look at these adorable kiddos, are you newlyweds dear?" an older woman with her husband asked as they were passing through the beach.
"Oh, uh yes, yes we are." Lucy smiled.
"Oh well aren't you just the most adorable thing!" The old woman clasped her hands together.
"Yeah, she's pretty cute huh." Natsu laughed hugging her from behind with a giant smile.
Lucy wasn't exactly sure if he was just in character or maybe really hugging her, if by some chance these on-comers were a threat.
"Oh, honey don't you remember when we were young like that." The old woman lifted her eyes suggestively.
"Yeah, couldn't keep your hands off me." The old man spoke sardonically. "Come on let them enjoy each other."
Natsu's hands loosen around Lucy somewhat. He must had decided they posed no threat.
"Uh, so you've been married a long time then?" Lucy asked.
"Oh dear, a long time, we just renewed our vows and are on our second honeymoon now!" The old woman was glowing as if it was their first honeymoon. Lucy couldn't help but think it was adorable.
"Hey if you don't mind me asking, how long have you guys been here?" Lucy asked.
The old woman smiled, "Oh, I think a week now dear!"
"This might sound a bit weird but have you noticed, um anything strange. I only ask because me and my husband um, have heard weird things around here and just wondered if we should be concerned?" Lucy felt like she sounded so ridiculous.
"Hm, well I don't know how strange this sounds to ya, but we went out on a boat ride a few days ago and off on that island over there" The old woman pointed off into the distance at an island that set up high enough they could see most of it. "It was lighting up like fire crackers or something was going off."
"Oh, honey," The old man complained. "They were just fireworks going off on that island." The old man grabbed hold of her hand to pull her away from Natsu and Lucy. "Come on let's let these two enjoy their honeymoon."
The old woman smiled brightly at them letting her husband pull her away.
"So what do you think?" Natsu asked popping up from the ground in excitement. Maybe this was the break they had finally been waiting for! It was about time he was ready to kick some major ass.
"Hm, I don't know. Maybe when the owner gets here we can finally speak with him and see if he can collaborate that. I certainly makes since that they would be out that far. A remote place would be best to kidnap people."
"Guess there isn't anything for us to do." Natsu groaned. He hated being bored.
Lucy giggled, "It's kinda cute don't you think, to renew vows after being married for so long?" Lucy smiled brightly. It would be nice to marry and grow old with someone. How romantic would it be after so many years still be crazy enough about someone to marry them a second time?
"You want to get married someday?" Natsu asked bluntly.
Lucy's face lit up, "Wh-what…huh? What are you saying?" This wasn't the way to propose by any means and was he really just coming out and saying something like that so casually. Lucy covered her cheeks thinking up more antics.
"What is your deal? I just meant you seem like you really want to get married someday. Why are you getting so flustered it isn't like you hide it." Natsu was confused to why she was acting so strange.
Of course that's what he meant, what's wrong with her? Letting her imagination run so wild, and now she felt a little bummed, which was just stupid. Natsu probably didn't even think of things like this!
"Um, yeah Natsu, one day I would like to get married." She contemplated for a moment. "Hey Natsu-"
"Yo, any luck you guys?" Gray called out catching both mages attention. Both he and Juvia were walking up to them.
"Nada," Natsu groaned.
"What are you serious? Is your nose going bad or what?"
"Hey at least I've been trying I haven't been in bed all day like you!"
"Well I had a reason for that, believe me if I had been searching I would have found something by now!"
Lucy sighed, turning to Juvia while the two bickered behind them.
"Are you feeling better? We were worried." Lucy genuinely asked the water girl. Juvia looked a little worn put, but other than that seemed to be fine.
Juvia nodded, "Sorry Juvia hasn't been helping much today."
"Hey don't be ridiculous. We might even have a lead. The couple we just talked to said something about lights flashing on this island, over there." Lucy pointed out to the exact island that the old woman had earlier.
"Really what does the lead suggest, think their holed up there?" Gray popped in between the two girls covered in bruises and marks. Natsu stood next to Lucy appearing in about the same fashion.
'Guess they decided this was more important than fighting' Lucy thought to herself.
"Possible, I just would really like to talk to our contractor before we started combing islands around here. I would hate to go out on a lead and something happen that we missed." Lucy thought for a moment. For all they knew there was just some sort of festival going on over there and that was what that woman had seen. There were resorts all over this region since it was so beautiful.
"Well what if Natsu and I went and checked it out and you guys just stayed here. If you're out in the open I doubt anyone would try anything?" Gray looked over to Natsu who nodded. He looked just as anxious and ready for a battle as Gray.
"Juvia doesn't know what she thinks about splitting up, we should all go together."
"Yeah, but if something happens here then it would make since for a few of us to be left behind." Natsu explained. He had the same ideas that Lucy had over the situation.
Juvia sighed looking at her hands self-consciously.
"Still haven't come back completely yet huh?" Lucy whispered putting her hand on his shoulder for reassurance.
Juvia shook her head feeling self-conscious from the attention.
"Look, let's wait one more day for Juvia to get her powers back in order. The owner of the hotel is supposed to come back tomorrow, so we can talk to him, sort some of this out and then decide on what to do." Lucy dictated. It be stupid to do anything if one of their teammates was down and out wouldn't it?
Juvia smiled up at her silently thanking Lucy for the idea.
"You know that's ridiculous that he wasn't here to meet us when we first got here. Does this guy think this is a joke?" Gray was annoyed.
"Think we got here quicker than he thought we would." Natsu yawned. "Let's get something to eat I am starved."
"You just ate like an hour ago, enough for all of us might I add." Lucy groaned, but stood, grabbed her towel, and headed towards Natsu. Who was she kidding of course the man was hungry, he was always hungry.
"Uh, Juvia is just going to stay here at the beach, not feeling so hungry." Juvia excused herself from the group, walked over to where the water continued to invade the shore with every crest of wave, and sad down. She pulled her dress up and out of the way of the water and placed her feet in, enjoying the feel of the waves.
"She's pretty upset huh?" Natsu asked genuinely feeling for the girl.
Gray nodded, "wouldn't you if your fire suddenly disappeared?" He didn't stay and wait for a reply for Natsu, rather walked towards Juvia to keep her company.
"Come on well got get them both something and bring it back." Lucy offered.
Juvia watched as Gray sat down beside her putting his legs into where the tide would wash up on him as well. He was wearing a simple pair of board shorts, the sun gleamed off his chest in the most attractive way. He's skin had become slightly tanned from the sun the previous day, it was also eye-catching.
"Gray-sama aren't you hungry? You haven't had a chance to eat all day?"
"Nah, I can't after getting up, gotta get hungry first." Plus he wouldn't leave her here alone, just in case.
She nodded understanding placing her hand in the water to enjoy the feel of it.
"The water calms Juvia. It used to cheer me up as a child. It's funny that it still does even to this day." She moved her hand against the water like she was massaging the salty liquid. It was true sometimes she would just sit in the bath tub for hours enjoying the comfort of the water as her tears would merge with it.
"It really calms you huh?" Gray asked curiously.
Juvia nodded, "does ice not calm Gray-sama."
"You know I don't think I've ever thought about it in that way before." He had been using his ice make magic since he was a child. It had been important to him to learn everything about it so he could perform the strongest of spells, but to actually calm him. Maybe sometimes it did and he had just never realized it before. He put his hands together the same way he did whenever he wanted to access his power.
"Ice make," he commanded. A miniature sized ship formed into ice and sat in his hand. He reached over to Juvia handing her the beautiful work of art.
"Gray-sama," She whispered reaching out for it like it was the finest of glass.
"You know if were pretending to be married wouldn't Gray be a bit more appropriate?" he laughed.
"Gray?" Juvia whispered so quietly, testing the foreign word, as if it was forbidden to say. She gave him a bright smile with slightly pinked cheeks.
Gray smirked back, "think that's the first real smile you've had all day."
She nodded leaning down to place the ice ship into the ocean when the tide came. It carried the ship away delicately. The two watched until the ice make object was no longer visible. The tender moment was interrupted by a loud crash followed by a shrieking scream.
Both Juvia and Gray turned around to see dust beginning to settle around one of the huts up on the beach. Both quickly got up from the ground running over the still barely standing tent. A girl ran out yelling and bawling, most likely the original screamer, passing by the couple.
Gray entered into the tent, followed by Juvia a moment later, before she could see anything he had grabbed her and spun her around so all she could see was his chest.
"Don't look," Gray spoke in tones that sounded simply horrified.
Juvia nodded, "what is it?"
"Body," Gray whispered. The tent was saturated in blood and what were most likely innards of the victim. Looking up he took notice of the hole in the top of the then. He must have been dropped from pretty high. Looking back at the bottom he noted that it looked oddly shriveled, like it had been sucked up like a mummy.
"Gray!" Natsu yelled.
Gray opened the curtain pushing Juvia through, "Lucy you stay back too alright."
"Are you serious, I can take it." Lucy complained not wanting to be babied, but after Natsu peered into the tent and looked at her with such seriousness in his eye, she thought against the fight.
"Stay out here with Juvia?" Natsu asked.
Lucy simply nodded before he disappeared into the tent.
"He smells like that cloaked bastard." Natsu acknowledged bending down to the body.
"Yeah," Gray said pointing to a mark on the upper arm of the body, "look a guild mark. This guy is playing with us. I find it coincidental that this body fell through a tent right next to where Juvia and I were."
"Disgusting, you mean they are actually killing the wizards?" Natsu yelled standing up in anger.
"I think it's worse than that." Gray also stood studying the man once more. "I think this is the result of having his magic sucked out of him. I think it is what killed him." Chills coursed through him. This could have been what happened to Juvia, it was why she had been so sick afterwards.
There was no telling how many victims there were or how many there would be. Both boys silently agreed on one thing, they needed to find this creep quickly, and get rid of him.

Reviews;
Tassie Taker; Yay I want the plot to thicken! I'm glad you liked the portrayal of Gray, yeah he's got just a few issues hehe, but who doesn't? I really hope Gruvia continues to be in character they've been a bit challenging still! Glad you mentioned feeling like Gray had closed himself off to certain intimate "love" because I feel like that is how he is too! Thank you!
WednesdaySnow; Awe you're so sweet! I love reviews lol! Glad the fight scene was good! Bed scenes are always fun and I think I like flustered Gray the most! Actions scenes are fun, I just hope they come out good enough. I think Lucy and Juvia could be really good friends because they have more common than not. I totally love bed scenes thye are the most fun to write! I love the difference between Nalu and Gruvia to, It makes it so much more fun to write too. Thank you!
Darkhope; Yeah I certainly don't think Natsu would of, but I dunno Gray could be debatable. I mean maybe not interested in a relationship I dunno. Im sure it be a no, because they are more interested in fighiting. I just thinks it's funny because considering the types of girls in the guild I feel like older teens would be hormone central! Sorry if im killing you with suspense, but suspense is so much fun! I like when Gray or Natsu both go into protect mode! Haha give me a man like that! Been having a lot of fun with Nalu and Gruvia! Yes OVA 5, I finally saw it! It's going off some of the recent chapters in the manga can't wait! Thank you I really hope keep enjoying the story!
Medaka-chan; yeah I like a good balance of fluff! I think Gray can certainly be sweet when he wants he just tends to also be gruff. Yeah, I'd have to lean towards the virgins scenario as well but it was a thought to think about. Hmm but yeah there is always heavy petting that could have happened, hmmm scandalous. Thank you for the review!
Angel; Good! Yeah I really think he would have put her in bed, I dunno I think Gray would just be one of those guys that wouldn't think anything of a girl sleeping in the same bed. Glad you thought so too! Yeah private guy I agree that's a good way to describe Gray! We'll have to see what happens! Nalu still feels easier to write because they are so comfortable with each other. I have realized from watching the show and reading the manga that Natsu doesn't really have any embarrassing with Lucy moments. So I've been going with that haha. Thank you hope you keep liking it!
Animegirl115; Ah thank you! Hope you continue to like!
YamixTeaLover; Yay thank you! Oh, have to say I really like the sexy moments too! You made me so happy that you thought you could picture the action scenes! When I write those that is so what I'm going for and happening its enough!
Xlolabug12x; Aw haha well I'm glad you gave it a go and read! I hope it's well written I really try and have so much fun with it! I try to update as much as I can and will continue to do so! Yeah I have an idea where I want the couples to go but not completely, so I'm excited to see where they go as well! Thank you!
Guest; Hello there! Glad that you liked the chapter! I think he is starting to feel a bit easier. I just think of the scene I want to do and write it, then think okay now how would Gray or whoever say this haha. So hope it keeps working! I liked him having a sweet moment! Hehe yeah Gray having perverted thoughts but come on we gotta be realistic here lol! Hope they can keep up on protecting too don't want anything bad happening to anyone bum bum buuuuum! Thank you!
BrigitteoO; Thank you so much! Hey you take all the time you want to read nothing wrong with that! I hope it continues to be exciting for ya! Yeah Gray can be a jerk sometimes but think deep down he doesn't mean for the jerkiness to occur! Nalu is certainly a more natural couple! I think that was one reason I just went for doing both pairings together since they are so different I thought hey this could work! Thanks again!
xXwendyXx3; Yay! Oh yeah I liked when they fought together too! Yeah it was the guitar guy with the long water soaking up hair thingy haha. I think Gray is starting to really feel things finally, geezz! Yeah been already thinking about how I want to go with the lemons, a brain storming! AND hot damn finally watched the OAV 5 trailer! Im so excited they are doing it from the water park in the more recent manga chapters! Cant wait for that Gruvia moment Gray gets jealous because of Lyon! Lol Thank you!
Rose Tiger; I will I will, thank you!
Animegirl115; Yay thank you so much! I'm glad!
Blade Angolis; Awe thank you so much I like the word brilliant! I really hope you keep enjoying it! Im glad you felt they were in character I think I'm starting to feel comfortable writing for them! I think that's awesome you feel like you can relate to Gray! That has to be one of my favorite thing about reading and writing. See I'm more like Natsu or perhaps Lucy so writing for Gray has been fun but also challenging because it's a very different personality for me to explore! Haha glad you don't feel the need to strip! Thank you!
XxPlueXx; Haha bitch you gunny! Haha you cracked me up so much, like I was literally in class and laughed reading your review! I loved it! Im really glad you thought it was written well!
