Hey guys I'm back, sorry I've been gone for so long. I'm starting to get lazy and it's not the story and I don't plan on ditching it, it's just life. I don't want to bore you too long so here is chapter 34!

Erza's P.O.V.

It has been awhile since she's seen the others. After she defeated lisanna and Juvia, she led them back to the camp and hung out there for a while. That's when she saw the flare gun go off and a boom.

"What was that?" Lisanna asked. Erza had hummed in response. She decided to let Mira answer this one as she gathered some belongings. She was going to go and check on some of the members of the guild and see what was going on.

"I don't know, but I think one of us should check on the others." Mira commented.

"Juvia will do it!" Juvia jumped up at the statement. Erza nodded and grabbed juvia'a arm. Juvia seemed uncomfortable, but erza didn't notice.

"We shall go together. I was planning to go anyways and we haven't had the time to properly speak to each other and this could give us the perfect opportunity." Erza smiled at the scenario that played in her head. It was perfect. Juvia nodded and they head off to find some guild mates.

"And this weapon can..." Erza had talked to juvia about every weapon she owned.

"You know, we can cover more ground if we split up?" Juvia suggested to erza.

"No! I- uhh- I mean, I don't want you to get lost or to have an enemy kidnap us and were most vulnerable." Erza girpped on juvia a bit harder so she wouldn't get out of potential bonding time.

"Uhhh okay, but you can let go of juvia now!" Juvia struggled against erza and she let go to give juvia some space. She really wanted to be friends with juvia. The last time that had talked was either about a mission or it was the last time juvia was in phantom lord. She couldn't really remember. They walked into the woods u til they stumbled upon levy.

"Levy! Are you okay? What happened?" Erza had positioned levy so that she sat up against a tree.

"Grimoure heart! They're here and on this island. Gajeel and I were fighting until I couldn't do it anymore and gajeel told me to go find help. I'm so worried about him, he wasn't in good shape the last I saw of him and I don't know if he won or not." Levy coughed. It must have been a very serious fight if levy was this beat up. They followed a stumbling levy until they found gajeel. "Gajeel!" Levy ran to him and helped him up.

"Gajeel-kun, are you okay?" Juvia also ran over to him to see if he was alright. Erza figured juvia would be worried since they both came from the same guild. They seemed to have an alright relationship and they seemed to care for one another. She smiled at the thought. Levy picked up gajeel and led him back to the HQ.

"Let's keep going." Erza had planned on finding more information and more people if she could. This was all happening too fast and she couldn't get any control on it. She had no idea where master was or even if he was alive. Stop! Don't think about that now, just get others to safety and get more information on grimoure heart. She thought to herself. She was already stressed prior, but this whole dark guild thing was just making it worse.

"So, tell me juvia, what are you like?" She wanted to know more about juvia and take her mind off things so why not talk about anything other thank the problem.

"Uh well, juvia had water magic and she has many love rivals for gray-sama's heart, like you." Juvia slightly glared at erza. Erza first blushed at he thought of her and gray together and then shook her head. She only thought of him as a close friend and brother... She had other people in mind.

"No, I don't like gray like that. He is a very good man and I won't lie, he is attractive, but I o my think of him as my brother and friend just like natsu." Juvia's glare softened and she smiled.

"That is very good to hear. Juvia thought you had a thing for that jellal fellow at the tower of heaven so juvia wasn't very worried about you, Lucy is the one juvia is worried about." Erza was as red as her hair when she mentioned jellal.

"No no no, I don't like jellal like that. I thought he was good, but I guess I was wrong." She was still red in the face, but she was more sad and disappointed than anything.

"Juvia doesn't believe you and I think jellal has some good in his heart." Juvia mentioned. Erza smiled at the bonding time they were having. She than began to think, she laughed at the thought. "What?" Juvia asked.

"I don't think that Lucy likes gray, juvia. It's very unlikely that she does and if she does, she doesn't." Juvia puffed and decided to argue with her.

"Juvia knows Lucy loves gray-sama, who doesn't? He's handsome, a good fighter, and he may have ice powers but he has a heart of gold. What normal girl wouldn't want that, besides you anyways." Erza knew where she was coming from. Long ago she used too have a little crush on gray because he was the one who used to talk to her the most and the one who seemed to care the most for her. She realized his good traits and admired them, but she was too hung up on jellal to keep that childhood crush.

"Yes, but Lucy definitely has someone else in mind." Erza smiled.

"Who?" Juvia seemed genuinely curious this time. Erza decided to elaborate, but wanted juvia to realize on her own. She was an S-Class mage and she enjoys to challenge the minds of the mages who are still learning.

"Well, who does she constantly hang out with?" Erza questioned. Juvia thought for a second before it dawned ofn her.

"Natsu-kun!" Erza turned around for a split second and to nod at juvia and ran into something hard. She looked over to see a tree in her face. She heard the snickers of juvia and she glared at her which shut her up.

"Anyways! Yes you a re correct. It's natsu. Now, who does she always act different around?" Juvia eyebrows knotted in confusion.

"Elaborate."

"She acts much nicer and more girly like around this person. She seems to look at this person a lot and is sad when they are gone out on a mission without her." She may of given it away with the last comment, but she didn't care.

"Natsu-kun!"

"Okay so who do you think she fell in love with?" Erza looked at juvia. Her pale skin was rosy at the thought and she had a look of surprise when she found out the answer.

"Natsu-kun! Juvia never saw it before, but now she does. Lucy doesn't like gray-sama, she's in love with natsu-kun!" Erza laughed at her surprised reaction and nodded.

"Good job." Juvia giggled at her obliviousness and thanked erza for the help.

"Hello, number 4 and number 13." (I think juvia's "number" was 13, but I'm not entirely sure). Juvia and erza looked towards the speaker and found a little girl, maybe 14 or 15. She had pink hair and an emotionless face.

"And who are you?" Erza asked. She got into fighting stance and so did juvia.

"Meredy, but you really didn't need to know that. You'll be dead by sunfall anyways." This girl was a creep and erza didn't like it. She tried to attack meredy, but she dodged. It was a swift move and an impossible move.

"How?" Meredy hadent even looked fazed by the attack and it was pissing erza off.

"Let juvia handle her. Juvia wants to show gray-sama what I'm capable of and I also want a chance to fight as well." Erza looked at meredy and saw her eyes go dark.

"Did you say gray?" She asked them. Juvia nodded slowly. "Gray is number one on my list. He is a murderer! He killed master ulteноркиars mother! I will kill him!" She looked crazy as she spouted nonsense. Juvia's face twisted into one of complete fury as she punched meredy in the face.

"Go! Juvia wants to enjoy this fight. She will not allow this little girl to hurt my gray-sama!" Erza was truly frightened by juvia. She will never talk bad about gray in front of her. Ever. Erza ran off as she heard the sounds of screaming and battling going on. She needed to find another person and bring them to safety. She was still shooken up at the thought of how strong that little girl was. Her attack didn't do anything to her.

"Dammit..." She muttered under her breath. She was letting the stress get to her again. All she needs to focus on is the mission ahead and how she is going to stop it. She isn't the type of person to ask for help, she usually gives it, but right now she wants the help. The company of another person. She kept walking for maybe 20 minutes u til she heard grunts and curses. She would know that voice anywhere.

"Here, lemme help." She grabbed on to him arm and wrapped it around her shoulder. He tensed up and looked over to see who it was.

"Erza?" Gray questioned. He looked like he was having a rough time. His eyes were blood shot and swollen like be had been crying? He also had a cut on the side of his stomach. It didn't look very deep, but it was still a cut.

"Gray, why are you crying?" Her face twisted into worry as she saw him with tears running down his face. He looked a bit frustrated at the comment.

"I have no idea, but I do have this weird bracelet thing on my wrist." She looked at it, but than it began to disappear. It looked familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Well whatever it was it's gone now. Let's get you to an infirmary and patch you up." She smiled at him. He smiled back. She knows why she had a crush on him. It was because of his heart of gold as juvia puts it. That was all in the past and she's happy that juvia found happiness in her own love life. She fell in love with a good man.

"What are you so smiley about?" Gray asked her. She shook her head as her smile grew.

"You know, you should appreciate juvia more and what she does for you. A women like her is hard to come by and she's waiting for you." Gray looked away at the comment and coughed a little bit.

"Where did all that come from?" He muttered lowly. She laughed at him childless and they walked along.

"I'm just saying juvia is a good person and she thinks highly of you. You should give her a little more attention." She pressured. He nodded and that was the end of the conversation.

She really hopes he takes her advise and gives juvia a chance.

That was more of a gruvia chapter than anything. I really wanted to give a scene to them because I haven't been writing any other scenes besides natsu and Lucy scenes and I wanted to change that. I hoped you enjoyed this chapter and I'll see ya'll next time.
