Kanji's POV

We're at the beach, compliments of Loke. I personally am not a big fan of the beach, but Erza likes it so I put up with it for her. We had a good day. We swam and played volleyball. I even helped Happy build a sandcastle. Once the sun started to go down, we headed back to the room. Erza went out onto the porch to take a nap while I relaxed inside.

"We're going down to the casino later so don't sleep too long." I told her

I have big plans once we get down there.

I stepped into the bathroom and took a quick shower. I got cleaned up and dressed for a night out in the casino. When I finished tying my tie and putting the ring into my pocket I headed back out to the bedroom. When I got outside to wake Erza she was still asleep. She looked uncomfortable; she was shaking in her sleep.

"Erza…Erza get up!"

She jolted awake, still trembling.

"Are you feeling alright?"

"I'm fine…Just a bad dream." She said going inside.

Once she got inside, she stopped in front of mirror. She observed herself in the mirror as I walked behind her.

"You look pretty in that bikini." I told her.

She blushed at my compliment "I feel so exposed" She said as she Re-quipped into her armor.

"Come on that outfit was pretty."

"Sorry there's just no changing someone like me."

Lucy came in and told us Natsu and Gray were in the Casino and told us to come join them. Erza changed into a dress that dwarfed the more casual attire Lucy and I were wearing.

"Wow, I feel like I need to wear a tuxedo." I told her.

"I thought I get all dressed up since I'll be playing to win." Erza smiled.

"Who cares let's go!" Lucy said.

We headed to the casino in the basement. Erza and Lucy went to play cards and I saw Gray over at the slot machine.

"Are you winning?"

"Not really. I'm breaking even."

I sat down at the machine next to him and started playing. Like Gray I wasn't doing well but I only made a few bucks.

"I better go see what Erza's up to." I told him.

"Stay here." Gray told me "You spend all your time with her give her some space. Come on we're bros so let's chill."

"I have to make tonight special." I told him, I reached into my pocket and pulled out the ring "Tonight is important."

"Holy Crap! Is that a…"

"Yeah, I'm gonna ask her tonight."

"Oh wow so shiny, I hope Gray-sama gives me one someday." A woman said peaking over my shoulder.

"Who the what!"

"Hello." A woman with curly blue hair said.

She was a pretty girl, short blue hair, pale skin, she seemed shy. She was wearing a formal blue dress and had a big golden necklace with a Fairy Tail symbol on it.

"You're that girl from Phantom."

"Is this your girlfriend Gray?"

"What! No! Come on let's go" Gray said dragging me to the bar.

We took three seats and ordered some drinks.

"I heard that Phantom got disbanded."

"Yes that is true, but now Juvia is a free mage who can join a new guild." The girl said.

I looked at the big necklace she had on "I take it Fairy Tail is at the top of the list." I said noticing the large symbol.

"Yes very much so."

"Well I don't know that's up to my Grandfather. After what just happened I'm not sure how he'll feel." I told the girl.

Juvia went to respond but someone threw her off her chair and off to the side.

"Juvia!"

"You trying to pick a fight?!" I said looking at the man.

He was big, taller than me. He was wearing some kind of turban and he had a metal jaw.

"You are Kanji Dreyar correct?" The man said "Where is Erza."

"Who the hell are you, and what do you want with Erza?"

"I asked you a question."

I charged my hand up ready to shock the guy for making demands after what he did to Gray's girlfriend. As I pulled back my first a stream of water formed in front of me and Juvia appeared.

"I won't let you take one more step." The woman told her attacker, she turned to me "Go I can handle this Miss Erza needs you."

The man didn't listen to her and put his fingers to his forehead. He mumbled to himself about cleaning things up on his end. Suddenly every light in the room went out and the place became pitch black.

"What the…!" Gray said.

"It's dark magic." I told him.

"Dark Moment."

I felt something drag me to the ground and I suddenly felt very wet and uncomfortable.

Well I'm still alive so that's good.

"Where the hell am I?"

"You are inside my body." An omniscient voice said "Juvia pulled you and Gray-sama inside me to protect you."

I'm…Inside…a…woman…Erza's gonna kill me! Wait Erza!

"Let me out I have to find Erza!"

"Just calm down!" Gray said.

"It appears to have calmed down. I'll release you now."

I felt air rush in and Juvia spit Gray and me out of her Body. Lucy was there playing with a bunch of ice at the rubble of the bar.

"Why did you pull me in I could have taken that guy!" I told Juvia.

"Sorry."

"Lucy!" I yelled "Where are Natsu and Erza!"

"I don't know about Natsu, but some people came…And they took Erza!"

What.

"I'll kill them!" I yelled.

"Calm down!"

"RAHHH!" There was a huge pillar of fire erupting form the floor on the other side of the casino.

Natsu ran past screaming about getting shot in the mouth. He kept swearing revenge on some blocky guy.

"Natsu you better use your nose and find that guy." I told him.

He can lead us right to Erza.

We followed Natsu to the beach and took a boat so that we could follow the people that took Erza. Lucy also told us they had taken Happy with them too. I sat in the back of the boat waiting as we slowly followed Natsu's nose to Erza.

Every time, why does the universe keep stopping me? First Loke now this. Whoever took her, I'll kill them.

"Natsu how much farther?" Lucy asked.

Natsu just grumbled and tried not the throw up.

I don't have time for this

"That way." I pointed "I can feel them. It's the only other place an electrical signal is coming from."

"You alright?" Gray asked "I know you had big plans tonight, sorry."

"Don't worry about me, just keep going and help me stop the people that took her. I can't believe I just sat there and let them take her."

"It surprising that a mage as strong as Miss Erza was beaten."

"Shut up!" I yelled "Erza wasn't beaten, no way! You don't know what you're talking about!"

"Hey calm down!" Lucy said.

"Ugh. This is giving me a headache." I mumbled.

"Erza said these people were old friends of hers. Let's face it; I'm not sure if any of us really know Erza better than Juvia does." Lucy said.

"You're right." I said having calmed down "I've dated Erza for years, I was going to ask her to marry me tonight but I don't know anything about her. I only know what happened since she joined Fairy Tail."

I've always been there. I was there when she showed up at the guild, I was there when she got her eye, and I was there every day since she joined the guild. Every time I asked about her before she joined the guild she dodges the subject, why?

"I see something!" Lucy said "It's a tower. That must be that 'Tower of Heaven' they were talking about."

We pulled up to the rocks along the shore and docked our little boat. We scouted out the upper part of the shore and found it crawling with guards. Natsu and I wanted to charge right in but Lucy and Gray wouldn't let us.

"Juvia has found a way in underwater." The woman explained surfacing "It will take about ten minutes, can you hold your breath that long?"

"Yeah should be easy." Natsu said.

"Even you're not that stupid." I told him.

Juvia made us some bubbles to use as air and we swam our way to the opening underwater. Now I'm not a big fan of swimming. One misfire and I'd shock everyone in the water for miles. Luckily we got out before I accidentally hurt anybody. I threw my sweatshirt out since now that I was all wet it was useless. Besides I have other ones at home.

"Erza and Happy are here somewhere let's get started." I told them

A group of guards spotted us and we had to act quickly.

"Take care of them." Gray said "We've come this far so just fight."

"Static Stingers!"

We eliminated the men standing in our way. The door at the top of the cave opened.

"It appears we're being invited in." I told them "Let's go."

I'm coming Erza, just hang on. I'll do whatever it takes to save you, even if it means I have to give up my secret.
