Michelle's POV

"So that's the Rainfall town." I said.

"It really is always raining there." Lucy said "Look around it's only in that spot.

We were on a hill outside of town, we could see that it was only raining in town, but on the border, it was perfectly dry.

"It's rainy here but sunny here!" Happy smiled jumping back and forth between the rain.

We headed down into the downpour and started to look around.

"Maybe everyone's gone." Laki said "All the windows are boarded up."

"No one was here a few days ago." Kage said "Perhaps this place is abandoned."

"No.' Natsu said pointing forward "I can smell Juvia, she's that way."

We followed Natsu's nose towards the center of town and sure enough Juvia was there sitting on a bench.

"Juvia!"

"Huh?" she looked up at us half asleep before suddenly perking up "GRAY-SAMA!"

"Stop!" Natsu said blocking her with his arm.

"Hello." I waved.

"You're still the same old Juvia." Lucy giggled.

"It's great to see you." Wendy nodded.

"Natsu…and Lucy, Michelle and Wendy…you're all here?"

"We're back too." Kage said.

"Are you still all alone?" Kinana asked.

"Huh…Uhhgh…" the girl's eyes welled up before she suddenly fell forward.

"Juvia!"

"She passed out." I observed.

"This one is unlocked." Carole said pushing a door open for us.

We took Juvia in and got her into a bed.

"She's burning up." Wendy said "She has an awful fever."

"Her clothes were soaked." Kinana said "I suspect she was sitting out in the rain for days."

"Well she did used to be the Rain Woman of the Element Four." Laki shrugged.

"Still," Kage hummed "She hasn't made it rain unconsciously in years."

We let Juvia rest for a bit while the rest of us dried off from the rain.

"This must be Juvia's house." Lucy said drying her hair with a towel.

"You think so?" I asked doing the same.

"Smells like her." Natsu said "And Gray too."

"Juvia…lived here with…Gray-sama." The girl wheezed.

"Huh?"

"Together." She smirked at Lucy "Aren't you jealous."

"She's sure proud of it." Laki laughed.

"We ate together, trained together, worked together, and even slept together." Juvia explained.

"HUH?!"

"Well I tried but he kicked me out…" she sighed.

"Juvia…was very happy, but then some black stuff started appearing on his arm. He insisted nothing was wrong, after that he started to come and go more frequently…and a half a year ago he stopped coming back all together."

"He left you alone." Kinana frowned.

"Bastard leaving her alone like this." Natsu grumbled.

"Sounds familiar." I mumbled rolling my eyes.

"Just don't." Lucy looked at me "This is not the time…"

"Do you know where Gray is?" Happy asked.

"I doubt she'd be here if she did." Carla responded.

"Juvia tried to follow him, but when she lost track she decided to come back here, this is where Gray-sama and Juvia had happy times…he…has to come back." She sniffled.

None of us said anything as Juvia cried for a moment.

Juvia reached up and wiped her tears away "Juvia is sorry that you have to see her like this."

"I'll go find him." Natsu said walking to the window "I will, cause I'm gonna get everyone back."

We all just sat around for a bit while Juvia drifted off to sleep.

"She's resting for now." Wendy said.

"Hopefully she can stay asleep and rest." Carole nodded.

"You told her you'd find Gray, but do you even know where to start?" Lucy asked Natsu "I don't have anything in my notes."

"I haven't heard from him either." Kage said "Seems like he just dropped off the face of the earth."

"What's with that face Natsu?" Happy asked.

"It's not too far from here, right?" he asked "Sabertooth."

"Huh?"

"It's an hour or two walk away." I said.

"Then we're going, chances are they might know."

"Well we can't leave Juvia by herself." Laki said "She's sick."

"We'll stay." Wendy said "I can keep an eye on her."

"Wendy is the closest thing we have to a doctor, and I'm practically her nurse." Carole said "So we can stay."

"I'll be here too." Kinana said "The rest of you can go to Sabertooth and ask about Gray."

"Sounds like a plan." Lucy smiled "How are we actually gonna get there? We've got the Deer-horse we used to carry our stuff here but it can't hold Five people."

"Leave that problem to me." Laki smiled.

"Wood-Make: Stampeding Stallion!"

A strong wooden horse appeared and clopped around.

"Kage and I will ride on this one, you three take the fleshy one." The girl said.

"Let's hurry and go." Natsu said getting on his animal.

What's his rush…he's not telling us something.

I decided not to worry about it and got on the horse heading for the town Sabertooth was in.

Gray may not always reciprocate Juvia's feelings but he wouldn't just leave her here unless he had a good reason…

What is going on?
