Kanji's POV
We were sitting in the guild after moving Erza's suitcase to my apartment. Gramps was sitting with me on the second floor.
"So how'd your big move go?" he asked.
"Waste of time." I explained "All we did was move one suitcase. I spent half my time moving a bed into Juvia's room. It didn't help that I had to call Mira to come and help Erza clean her closet."
"Well at least you got something done." Gramps said.
"Yeah, we finally settled on a date for the wedding to." I told him "A few days after the S-Class exam."
"I'll mark the calendar." Gramps joked "is this date the reason Mira is reading over those magazines with Erza?"
I looked over the railing and saw that Erza and Mira were reading bridal magazines.
"Probably, maybe it's because Mira is the Maid of Honor." I told him "You know girls, always planning wedding for each other."
"It's hard to believe that Mira and Erza are so close." Gramps observed "They used to be at each other's throats every day.
"Don't remind me."
Flashback Start- the day after Kanji and Erza's first Date. X780
I arrived at the guild in a splendid mood. The previous night with Erza was the best night I've had. I opened the doors and walked inside hoping to have another great day.
"Today's great isn't it Natsu?" I asked taking a seat.
"What are you so cheerful for?" Gray asked.
"Yesterday was the greatest. Erza and I went to the fair and it was spectacular."
"Really you two had that much fun?" Lisanna asked.
"It was wonderful Lisanna, we went to the fair and then I walked her home." I said with a dumb look on my face "and then I got a kiss goodnight."
"Well at least you two stopped beating around the bush with each other." Gray joked.
"I don't see what's so great about girls." Natsu remarked.
"Aye!" Happy added.
Lisanna didn't seem too happy about that but she brushed it off. I was suddenly jerked off my seat and dragged out of the guild.
"You're coming with me Sparky."
"What the hell Mira let me go."
Mira dragged me out to the beach and threw me on the ground.
"Jeez Mira!" I said standing up "What was that for?"
"You two kissed!" Mira yelled looking upset "Why?!"
"What do you mean why?" I asked.
"Why is it Erza?!"
Huh?
"I give you smiles form across the room. I flirt with you. I even wear less clothes then her! So why did you pick her over me!?"
"Mira…I'm sorry I didn't know that was how you felt." I said "But I don't feel that way about you."
"Why would you, you have Erza to be your arm candy, you wouldn't need me." Mira said turning away.
"Mira why did you never say anything?"
Still I've always had my eye on Erza. Mira was never a thought.
"Because you're always looking at Erza, never me. I tried to impress you; I fought her all the time hoping you'd see I was the stronger one. Well I'm not giving up." Mira said "I'll show you I'm better for you than Erza."
"Mira I sorry but I won't ever see you as anything more than a friend so please move on." Mira walked up and threw her arms around me "Mira what are you..!"
Mira slammed her lips into mine and started kissing me. I tried to pull away but she kept a strong grip on my hair to prevent me from slipping free.
"So this is where you two are…"
Mira finally let me go and I turned around to see Erza behind me and she didn't look very happy.
"So were you just lying to me last night when you said all those things?" Erza asked.
"Erza…"
"You can't even keep man. Only one night out and he came crawling to me, wow you're pathetic." Mira said.
"I can't believe you!" Erza yelled and ran off.
"Erza wait!"
"Yeah have fun crying into your pillow! I'll be here with the stud!" Mira yelled.
"What the hell Mira!" I yelled "I can't believe you."
I ran after Erza but Mira grabbed my wrist to prevent me from going.
"I really did feel something there." Mira said "Just go after Erza, pick her like you always do, but I'm not giving up on you."
I ran after Erza and chased her all the way to her room at the dorm.
"Erza it's me! Open the door!"
The door creaked open and I saw Erza standing on the other side her eye was red and her face was damp "What?"
"Erza please can we talk."
"If you want to talk go talk, talk with Mira, clearly you want her more. I can't believe I was so stupid to think you really liked me."
"I do Erza!" I said "I didn't want to do that Mira forced herself on me I swear. You are the only girl I care about, and I mean that. Last night was the best of my life and I want that again."
"Why should I believe you?" Erza said.
"Because you know me Erza, and you know I would never hurt you. I hate the fact that you're crying right now and I hate that I'm part of the reason for it."
Erza turned away and I put my hands on her shoulder kissed her. When I let go she leaned into my chest.
"I'm not lying Erza last night was special. What happened with Mira was an accident."
"I forgive you; I shouldn't have jumped to a conclusion like that."
"It's okay I understand. Are we still on for tonight?"
"Yes, but first I have to go kick Mira's butt!" Erza said marching out the door.
You do that. If what Mira said was true that she loves me as much as Erza I don't know if those two will ever get along.
2 Years Later- X782 Three days after Lisanna died.
This week is the crappiest I've had since Mom died. Lisanna was killed the other day. Most of the guild's pretty broken up about it. Erza was upset but we'll get through it. I think Elfman is taking it pretty hard but Natsu is trying to break him out of it.
"You two." Gramps said walking up to Erza and I "I need you two to do me a favor.
"Sure Gramps what'd you need?" I asked.
"It's Mirajane." Gramps said "She didn't come to the guild today and I'm worried. Will you two go and check on her. I just want to make sure she's okay, and you two are her closest friends so I think it's best if you go."
I would call us close friends but okay.
"Of course Master." Erza said standing up.
Erza and I made our way to Mira's house but when we knocked no one answered.
"So you think she's not home?" Erza said.
"Static Resonator!" I kicked the ground and let out a shockwave that gave a virtual view of the area "I can see and electrical signal inside the house she's just not answering the door."
Erza knocked again and there was still no answer "Mira please open the door."
Still no answer.
"Step aside." I walked up to the door and blasted the lock off "Oh look it is open.
I opened up the door and Erza and I walked inside "Hello? Mira?"
Erza and I walked through the house looking for Mira but were having trouble finding her. There was a large crashing noise coming from the back room so Erza and I ran back there. We entered the back room to find Mira standing in front of a shattered mirror, her hand was all bloody and her face was covered in tears.
"Mira."
"What do you two want?" she spat out.
"Mira we're just here to check on you. You didn't come to the guild today, everyone's worried." I told her.
"Whatever, you checked on me I'm fine. Leave."
"You're not fine." Erza told her "Look at your hand."
"Oh that, it doesn't matter." Mira told her.
"Mira talk to us." I said.
"What's there to talk about?!" Mira yelled "How I'm a terrible person who let her sister get killed!"
"You're not a terrible person Mira, it was an accident." I told her.
"I am! I should have stopped Elfman. I could have saved Lisanna if I wasn't so weak!" Mira picked up one of the shards from the mirror "Maybe I'm better off dead."
Erza ran up and smacked the shard out of Mira's hand and then slapped her in the face "How can you be so selfish!"
Mira just stood there staring at the ground.
"Thinking like that is never okay!" Erza said seeming to be truthfully upset "There are people here who care about you. How would Elfman feel if you left him? You would put the whole guild through that. Death is part of life! It was just Lisanna time but it's not yours. It's okay to be upset, we all are." Erza pulled Mira into a hug "Please Mira I don't want to lose any more friends."
Mira started trembling in Erza arms, a few seconds later she was screaming and crying. That is the worst I've ever seen Mira. Normally she's strong and intimidating, occasionally she gets a little girly but I've never seen her cry.
I walked up and pulled the two into a hug as well "We'll always be here Mira."
I'll protect you like I protect Erza. I won't let you cry anymore.
Erza and I stayed at Mira's house till the next morning. Mira spent most of the time crying but we were as patient as she needed us to be. I fell asleep on the couch after a while but I had a weird dream while I was asleep.
Mira walked up to my sleeping form and looked at Erza's. She covered me in a blanket and kissed my forehead.
"I still love you…"
Flashback end.
"Well I have to go to a conference so I'll see you in a few days." Gramps said heading off.
I wonder if Mira still feels that way. I really should find out. If she accepted Erza's offer to be in the wedding I doubt she does.
