Chapter 6: Fight
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail.

Whatever the two of them had talked about stayed a miracle to Lucy, Natsu, Levy and Gajeel. All they did know was that there was a sudden shatter in the room Gray and Juvia were in. When Gajeel and Natsu opened the door to the room and had found out, that both mages were not there any more. The dragon slayers tried to take on their scents but for some reasons they could not trace them. After searching the area around Lucy's apartment for 2 hours they began to search in the whole town before getting to Fairy Tail to tell everyone their Nakama had disappeared.

Every mage, even Team Blonde took it upon them to search after the pair. But they could not find them. After three days of working alone, the other legal guilds were informed, but it seemed like Gray and Juvia had disappeared into thin air. It was a cloudy Saturday afternoon, when the leader of Team Blonde, Lori came rushing into the guild declaring that there was rumored to be a fight between a Fairy Tail ice mage and a water mage from a dark guild. No one could tell from which dark guild the water mage was, as the insignia they were was not easy to identify. The water mage was said to wear a black cape hiding their features, but voice, stance and silhouette hinted that the cape wearing mage was female.

As if on cue, Gray came rushing in, signs of a fight still easy to spot. He was wet all over, the water dripping onto the floor under him. All eyes were on him as he began to talk "Sorry guys. I was kidnapped by a dark guild. No I don't know what happened to Juvia, because the kidnapper used some sort of smoke to knock both of us out. All I know is that we weren't brought to the same place. I was brought into a cellar, but they didn't seem to really want me to stay. There were almost no guards around so it was easy to run away without any one noticing.

"I didn't know where I was, I must have been some where in the Western woods, because I walked to the east for about a week before I found some civilization. But seems like the town I got into was controlled by the dark guild that had kidnapped me. So I sneaked around the town before I headed further to the East. An old woman told me to follow the morning sun, so further to the east to get back home.

"I had almost reached Magnolia when a poorly placed Water Slicer hit my face. Turning around I realized I had been ambushed by a water mage of the dark guild. The mage was hidden by a black cloak, but after I heard her voice I instantly knew who my opponent was. We fought. Ice against Water. I was able to freeze most of her attacks, but I did not want to hurt her, so I could tell all of you the truth. So she was not able to lie to us any further.

"At some point of the fight, I realized that I couldn't get away without defeating her. You know I normally don't fight women, but I hate people who betray their Nakama. She seemed to have realized I would fight her for real, because she became afraid and left. I decided to get here and tell you what happened. So she hopefully won't get away with this. Which leaves us to the present.", Gray finished his tale. Lori rushed to him, fussing around the cut in his face that was still bleeding.

"I'm glad you're back Stripper, but where have you left Juvia? She has been kidnapped as well, after all.", Gajeel asked, and Gray shook his head. "Like I told you, I don't know where she had been brought after the kidnapping. We were separated.", Gray explained and Gajeel growled "After breaking out, you did not look for her? If anything happened to her-", he left the threat hanging in the room, Lori scoffed.

"You're still defending that water witch? It's clear she is after all, who is known for the attack Water Slicer, besides knowing to be a water mage? Gray did know his opponent and like he said it was a traitor, so it must have been Juvia. She lied at you, when will you finally realize that she is not who you thought she was. I looked through her the moment I first saw her." Gajeel rolled his eyes "You're forgetting some things here, bitch. You, as a water mage, should know best that Water Slicer is a common attack among water mages. If Juvia had wanted to hit Stripper with a Water Slicer it would not have been so poorly placed. I have known Juvia the longest and believe me, she wouldn't lie to me or her nakama."

"But didn't you hear what he said? He was kidnapped by Rose's Skull. Which Water mage from Rose's Skull do we know?", Lori rolled her eyes. A murmur went around the room. "Gray-sama never mentioned the dark guild's name. From where do you know that, Lori-san?", a familiar voice called out. Realizing her mistake Lori tried to do what she could best: Blame it on Juvia.

"There she is! Is the water witch! She lie-", Lori stopped in the confusion of not being able to see Juvia. "Show yourself water witch!", she screeched, looking around frantically. The rest of the guild was just as confused but realized that Lori had played with them all along. They just stood and watched the scene.

"Juvia is over here.", her voice called and Lori turned around just to see that out of the water that had soaked Gray, Juvia's body materialized. The bluenette's arms were around Gray's neck. "Gray! The water witch, she- she..", Lori stuttered but Gray rolled his eyes. "Leave it Lori. You're the one from Rose's Skull, you're guild stamp is on your other leg, hidden by your pants. You're the traitor. You were the one who destroyed Fairy Hills, you made sure Lucy fell into the river, you tried to destroy the guild. But guess what your game is over. Rose's Skull has been defeated by Juvia, while the two of us fought."Gray growled. Before Lori could reply, the doors had opened and Rune Knights stormed in, who captured Lori and brought her away.
