It was a nice chilly day in Magnolia. Fairy Tail was having a nice party with the other guilds, such as Blue Pegasuses, Lamia Scales and strangely enough, Saber Tooth.

"NATSU-SAN I CHALLENGE YOU TO A FIGHT!" Sting yelled with a drunken voice.

"EHH! YOU WANNA CHALLENGE ME? FINE, I'LL BEAT YOU ANYWAYS!" Natsu yelled back with a drunk voice himself, but not as bad as Stings.

"Sigh, please don't make to much of a mess." Lucy pleaded as she sweat dropped from the child like fight the was happening between Natsu and Sting.

Everyone was having a great time there all but one. Juvia was sitting at the counter when she saw Gray exit the guild, his face void of emotions.

Juvia raised a brow, 'Where is Gray-sama going?'

Juvia took one last sip of her drink and made her way towards the guild doors but before she could follow Gray, a hand stopped her from going forward.

"No need to worry about Gray. He does this every year on this day." Mirajane's voice said to Juvia. Mirajane had her trade mark smile on her face.

"Where does he go on this day?" Juvia asked as she sat back down on the seat. Mirajane was washing a cup when she was down she placed it on the counter.

"It's a long story. I didn't find out myself 'til I saw him leave and I followed him too." Mirajane's eyes looked down, a sad smile crossing her face.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, Mira-chan." The water mage offered a smile to her.

"It's really not my story to tell but I think he won't be that mad knowing it's you." Mirajane placed the rag down and made a motion for Juvia to follow. The water mage raised her brow slighty before she followed the white haired mage down to the library.

"This is why Gray left." Mirajane than showed Juvia a picture of someone.

"That's-"


Flashback

Gray was on his way to the grave yard, just like every year since then.

"It's been 10 years since you've been dead, Ur." He placed the bright yellow daisy's on her grave stone.

"You need to stop blaming yourself for my death." A female voice said. Gray didn't need to look up to know who it was.

"You died because of me." Gray cried out as tears prickle the corner of his eyes.

"I raised you better than this." The women's voice sighed out as she lend against the grave stone.

Gray he looked at the engraving of the stone, "I'm sorry."

Ur

6XX-7XX

Here lays a wonderful mother and an amazing teacher.

You will always be remember. Even if you are not with us in body, you are here in spirit.

"Was she someone important to you?" A soft voice asked, Gray turned his head to find a girl about his age. She had long pink hair that was in a pony tail and had on a pair of black tight pants tucked into a pair of combat boots. She had on a white tank top that had red flames at the hem.

"She was my teacher." Gray glanced at the tomb stone again.

"Ah, was today the day she passed." She asked him as she stood next to him. She looked down at the engravings that were on it.

"She most have been a lovely lady." She said as she smiled at the name.

"You could say that." Gray said as he stuffed his hands into his jean pocket.

"Tell me, is the women leaning against the grave stone her?" The girl asked as she turned her head to look at him.

"You can see her!?" Gray was astonished by her question.

"Of course she can see me. She's the one that summoned me." Ur said as she gave a grin to Gray and the girl.

"SUMMONED!?" Gray yelled.

"Ahaha. Is he the reason why you keep asking me to call you every year on this day." Sakura laughed lightly as she covered her mouth with her hand.

"You could say that." Ur gave a cheeky grin to the pink haired mage.

"How can you be summoned?" Gray was confused wasn't Ur dead. How can you summon the dead? Unless you were...Zeref.

"It's magic." Sakura said with wink of her eye.

Gray blushed a little from the wink.

"I-is that your only reason here for being here..?" Gray asked trying to change the subject. In the background you could hear Ur laughing at her student.

"Oh no. I also have someone here that passed." She looked at the tomb next to Ur's.

"Oh, I'm sorry for your loss." Gray looked down at the tomb with a grim look.

Kakashi Hatake

Here lays a mentor, a teacher, most importantly a father figure to his beloved students.

The Will of Fire burns brightly in you.

"The Will of Fire?" Gray said out loud.

"Yes, it's something very important to my guild." The girl said as she gave a found smile at the grave.

"If you have the ability to call Ur, can't you call him then?" Gray asked as he stared into her never ending emerald eye.

"I can't." She said simply.

"Huh? Why can't you?" Gray asked in confusion.

"I can't because he doesn't want to be called on." She flashed a sad smile to Gray.

"Doesn't want to be..called on?" Gray's voice got quieter as he finished his sentence.

"I can call Ur because she wants to be here. My mentor doesn't want to," she explained to him, "I can only call on the souls that want to be called on. I can't call on those who don't want to be called."

"Oh." Gray nodded his head at her answer.

Suddenly a cold breeze passed by and momentarily the girl's hair covered her eye sight. In the distance Gray saw a man with silver hair that seemed to defy gravity. He was wearing a tux and the man looked to have a smile on his face.

The man gave a look to Gray and the man gave a 2 finger wave good bye and like that, when the breeze went away the image of the man went as well.

"I worry if he's alright, even if he is dead." The girl sighed out.

"I think he's better than you think." Gray said to her with a smile on his face.

"You think so?" She asked him as she looked at him.

Gray gave a closed eye smile, "I know so."

She couldn't help but return the smile, "I'll take your word for it then."

Ur looked at the two and gave a soft smile, 'Ah, seems like I'm not going to be the only women in your life anymore.' With that she begun to fade into light.

Gray seemed to notice this, but he didn't cry or anything like that he gave a smile to her as she faded into nothingness. With one last smile she was gone.

"Tell me what's your name." The girl asked him.

"I'm Gray Fullbuster of Fairy Tail." He said with proud voice.

"Sakura Haruno. S-class mage of Konoha."

End of flashback


"-a picture of a girl." Juvia said.

"Yup, she's Sakura Haruno." Mirajane said.

"Who is she to Gray?" Juvia said with jealousy in her voice.

"She was a lover to Gray at one time but..." Mirajane couldn't finish the sentence. Her eyes were cast downwards. For some reason Juvia wasn't able to be mad at the girl in the photo. The girl was a beauty. She had snow white skin and pretty pink hair with eyes more beautiful than any jewel in the world.

"W-what happened to her?" Juvia asked her throat going dry, scared of the answer she would get.

"She went missing a 2 years ago?" Mirajane said as tears were threatening to spill from her eyes.

"Is-is she d-dead?" Juvia asked timidly.

Mirajane shook her head, "Gray doesn't know and the guild that she's from doesn't know either."

Juvia felt tears fall from her eyes. Why was she sad? She was in love with Gray, shouldn't she be happy that a love rival was gone?

"Has he gone looking for her yet?" Juvia asked.

"No-" Before Mirajane could finish her sentence Juvia ran up the stairs and went back up into the guild.

Juvia ran out the guild as fast as she could, 'Gray-sama should be at the grave yard.'

Juvia made another turn and soon she was in the grave yard. From the distance she saw his back. Juvia's anger was boiling.

If he loved this girl than why didn't he go and look for her?! Was he not in love with her!?

When Juvia got to Gray she saw him crying and he looked to be hugging someone. They were on their knees. He had his head buried in the person's neck and she could hear his cries. The person who he was hugging was the girl in the photo.

She was crying herself.

Juvia could help but give a smile. Was she smiling because Gray was happy? Juvia didn't want to intrude so she left the two there, but not before the girl gave her a soft smile.

"Thank you."

Those were the words the girl mouthed to Juvia. Juvia gave her a smile, gave the girl a nod and than left.


"You're back, you're finally back!" Gray cried tears of joy. He was hugging her waist,burying his head into her chest. Surprised by the sudden hug, Sakura couldn't help but hug him right back after.

"I'm back." Sakura said in a soft voice.

Gray than let go of her and placed his forehead against hers'.

It begun to rain but they didn't care they were finally able to be together again.

"I'll never let you go again." With that, he kissed her and left her breathless. They kissed and kissed and kissed.

All the passion he had went into kissing her. The same went for her. She hadn't seen him in over 2 years and now she returned back to him. In his arms one more time.

"I love you. I'll keep loving you 'til the end of time." Gray placed their foreheads against each others again. A smile bloomed on her face and tears of joy spilled from her eyes.

"I'll love you 'til the end of time." Sakura said to him, like he said to her.

'Til the end of time, I will love you even if I'm not here in person. I will be there in spirit.'
