...
It was an early afternoon shower as Gray and Juvia walked together along the cobblestone street.
"I don't see the point in going over to Lucy's place to review the tape from last night. I mean, nothing happened that we can realistically use against Cana." Gray said with an underlying pessimism in his voice, as he held the handle of a dark blue umbrella.
"Don't fret Gray-sama, maybe we'll get lucky." Juvia stated cheerfully while looking up at the ice mage beside her.
Gray glanced at the pretty bluenette and her infectious smile and despite his current mood, he couldn't stop a corner of his mouth tugging upward in a tiny smirk. "Alright.. I'll try to stay positive."
In response, she beamed brightly and then lovingly hugged his arm, making him smile while shaking his head. They soon came to Lucy's apartment and started ascending the flight of stairs that lead to her door. Almost to the top, Juvia's leg suddenly gave out and she yelped as she nearly collapsed, but a strong arm quickly wrapped around her waist and pulled her against a hard body.
Gray looked down at her with concern as he asked. "Juvia, are you okay?"
Turning her head up to him, a small smile graced her face as she said reassuringly. "Yes Gray-sama, Juvia is fine. It's just... her thighs are a bit sore today." She added coyly as a blush dusted her cheeks.
Gray grinned slowly as he held her flush against him. "Ahh, sorry babe. I guess I got a lil carried away, huh?" He said gruffly while spiking a dark eyebrow.
Juvia gently bit her lip and shook her head. "No it's fine. Juvia did give Gray-sama permission to be rough last night." The girl purred as her blue eyes shimmered with desire.
The ice mage smiled handsomely as he moved his hand up and brushed a lock of her wavy blue hair behind her ear. "Yes, but not at the cost of you being unable to walk the following day."
Juvia blushed while smiling softly at him. A hint of a smirk crossed Gray's face as he added. "Or else, I'm gonna have to find a wheel barrel to cart you around in."
The bluenette gasped as her jaw dropped slightly and Gray immediately started laughing. "Gray-sama!" She scolded while smacking his shoulder and he continued to chuckle heartily.
Juvia narrowed her eyes at him and he started to calm down, moving the umbrella to the other hand, he reached up and gently clutched her jaw. "Ah, I'm just kidding Juvia." He said with a warm grin.
The girl pouted adorably, making Gray's smile widen.
He then leaned in and rested his forehead against hers as his rich voice lowered an octave. "Besides, you're much too cute to put in a wheel barrel." He teased while lightly stroking her jaw line with his index finger.
Her cheeks flushed a soft pink, as he brushed his lips against hers ever so lightly, then he paused. Juvia's body was quick to forgive as she instinctually leaned into him, wanting his cool touch again. She curled her fingers in his shirt while planting a firm kiss on his lips and Gray smiled to himself, hearing her tiny sigh of content. He tilted his head and deepened the kiss, moving his hand around to grip the back of her neck and pulled her closer. Juvia quietly whimpered as his tongue glided into her mouth and flicked hers teasingly.
Her hands ran down his chest, before she griped his hips and yanked them forward, pressing his lower body flush against hers. Gray laughed into her mouth, amused by the sudden ferocity of her movements. Her slender fingers slipped under his shirt and she raked her nails down his chiseled abdomen while tugging his bottom lip with her teeth. He growled ferally and griped her neck tighter, angling his lips as his tongue plunged deep inside her mouth, making her moan.
Suddenly, the door in front of them swung open and smacked against the wall behind it, making the pair jump. "Thought I smelled you out here, Frosty!"
Gray's mood immediately darkened as he whipped his head toward Natsu who stood smirking in the doorway. Juvia flushed bright red as she pulled her hands out of Gray's shirt and licked her reddened lips.
From inside, they heard Lucy ask. "Is that Gray and Juvia outside?"
Salamander put his hands on his hips and called back. "Yep! They're right here, making out on the stairs!"
Gray glared at the dragon slayer as he stomped up to the entrance and growled out. "I'm not in the mood to put up with you right now Flame-brain, so just shut up and let us in!"
Juvia tentatively approached the entry way, while staying safely behind the ice mage.
Natsu matched his glare with equal intensity while blocking the doorway with his form. "I ain't moving till you ask nicely, Snowflake!"
Just then Lucy came up and shoved Natsu aside with an exasperated exhale. "Natsu, move! Sorry guys, come on in."
Gray smirked triumphantly as Juvia came up next to him and they were both ushered in by Lucy. Setting the umbrella down, Gray looked over and saw Natsu angrily eating a sandwich while scowling at the ice mage.
Gray raised a brow as he wondered where that sandwich came from, before Lucy spoke up while retrieving her recorder. "Okay guys, just give me a second to rewind the tape here and then we can listen to what was recorded." The blonde then took a seat next to Natsu who scarfed down the last of his snack noisily.
Juvia sat down on a large pillow on the floor, then smiled at Gray while patting the one next to her with her hand. A small grin crossed his face, before taking his seat on said pillow. A small click sound was heard and Lucy looked down at her recorder gleefully. "Sweet, it's done rewinding!"
"So why are we listening to this thing, Lucy? The plan did fail, after all." Gray asked.
"Yes, but I just thought that maybe we could edit the tape so it sounds like Cana's saying something incriminating. I mean, it's not like we have anything else to black mail her with right now. Desperate times call for desperate measures." Lucy answered with a shrug of her shoulders.
Gray sighed heavily while leaning back on his hands. "Alright, let's hear it."
With that, the celestial wizard pressed play on the recorder and set it on the floor in front of them. Juvia leaned over and rested her head on Gray's shoulder with a happy sigh, making him look at her out of the corner of his eye and smile to himself. Lucy picked up a notebook and a pen in case she needed to take notes, as the recording began.
As they listened to Loki's cheesy one-liners and failed attempts to "seduce" Cana, the group's demeanor turned increasingly despondent.
Soon, they got to the part where Loki was discussing BDSM with Cana:
Loki- "I could really see you rocking a Dominatrix get-up."
Cana- "Oh you could, could you?"
Loki- "Yeah. You're so passionate and strong, it just seemed fitting."
-Pause-
Loki- "I used to date this girl who was really kinky. One time, I let her dress me up like a pig and then she stomped on me with her stilettos as I squealed!"
Natsu laughed at that while Lucy merely shook her head in shame. Juvia widened her eyes in shock and Gray lifted his brow while commenting quietly. "Whoa.."
Then the long awkward pause followed Loki's startling confession and the mages fell quiet. Amidst the silence, came the haunting voice of a small girl. "Why did you kick me..."
Gray's face turned ashen and Juvia squealed in terror as she tightly clutched Gray's arm while looking fearfully at the recorder.
After a pause, the ghostly voice added. "...Gray?"
Gray's eyes shrank to tiny orbs as he swiftly wrapped both arms around Juvia and crushed her to his chest with a sharp gasp.
"It knows my name!" He yelled in horror and his first instinct, was to kick the stupid recorder as hard as he could.
Natsu and Lucy looked at each other in complete bewilderment.
The bluenette in his arms gasped for breath as she tried to look up at him. "Gray-sama, Juvia, can't breathe!" She squeaked meekly.
Hearing her voice, Gray glanced down at the girl and instantly released his hold on her. "Whoops, sorry Juvia." He offered as she drew in a huge breath.
Stopping the recorder, Lucy then held up her hands. "Whoa whoa, back up! Would you two mind telling us what the hell that was?!"
"More like who was that?! And what was that about you kicking them, Gray?" Natsu asked.
After Gray calmed down, he threw a quick glare at the recorder, before addressing the couple.
"You guys remember how we had to groom Cana's creepy doll collection for you?" Gray began.
Lucy simply nodded her head while Natsu's eye twitched furiously.
"Well that night, Juvia and I were screwing on Cana's bed.." He stated bluntly, making the water mage blush.
"Juvia was lost in the throws of ecstasy, when all the sudden this haggard-ass doll falls on her face. She screamed and the next thing I knew, she was climbing me like a spider monkey! We fell off the bed and I almost suffocated in her enormous rack."
For added emphasis, Gray pointed to Juvia's ample bosom, making her squeak and cover herself. Natsu couldn't help but follow Gray's finger and look at the large bust in which he directed, which was amplified by the girl's arms pressing together. Lucy quickly noticed where Salamander's eyes fell and she scoffed, then lightly smacked the back of his head. Natsu turned to the blonde with a guilty grin, before Gray resumed his story.
"She was hysterical and I just got her to calm down and that's when I saw it! This freaky fucking doll was sitting right in the middle of the bed and as stared at it, the demonic thing turned it's head and fixated it's one eye on me!"
Juvia's soft voice chimed in, "Yes, Juvia saw the doll move entirely on it's own."
Gray nodded his head before continuing. "Poor Juvia was paralyzed with fear and I knew it was up to me to protect her. So I kicked it in it's fucking face, then I picked Juvia up and got her the hell out of there!" He finished while crossing his arms over his chest calmly.
Juvia sent a quick glare his way, slightly exasperated by the over-dramatization of his story, but she said nothing.
Lucy's eyes widened as she sat frozen in place, their story and the voice on the recording, melded together into one unnerving tale. "Oh man, that's creepy! I don't wanna go back to Cana's place if that thing is there!" The blonde said in a shaky voice.
Gray gave a quick nod of his head, then turned to Natsu who had a blank expression on his face. The ice mage raised a brow as he called out, "Yo, Natsu?"
The dragon slayer looked at him and asked simply. "You guys did it on Cana's bed?"
Gray blinked in response, before answering. "Uh..Yeah."
Natsu smirked deviously, "Nice." He then raised his fist to Gray, who let a corner of his mouth curl upward as he returned the friendly fist bump.
Lucy gasped as she pointed her index finger at them. "Natsu! Were you even listening to the story?! That possessed doll wants Gray's soul!"
At that very moment, a bolt of lightning illuminated the window and the boys immediately flinched. The lights in Lucy's apartment flickered repeatedly while the loud rumble of thunder reverberated through the room. Everything went pitch black for a heart stopping second and the girls squeaked in terror. When the lights came back on, Gray and Natsu were holding each other with wide eyes, trembling in fear.
"It's possessed?!" Natsu yelled.
"It wants my soul!" Gray hollered.
Lucy and Juvia glanced at each other with puzzled expressions, then back at their men. Finally, Gray and Natsu realized what they're doing and simultaneously pushed each other away while yelling.
"Get off me, you streaking pervert!"
"You're the one that latched onto me, you pink-haired freak!"
Both girls sweat dropped in exasperation as Gray and Natsu muttered angrily, while turning away from each other.
Natsu then went up to Lucy and demanded. "Okay Luce, spill it! What's with this possessed doll?"
Meanwhile, Gray turned to Juvia and put his hands on her shoulders. "It wants my soul!" He exclaimed while shaking the girl back and forth.
The water mage stopped his ranting by cupping the sides of his face and looking sternly at him. "Gray-sama, chill out! The doll never said anything about wanting your soul!"
Gray gazed back at her, before he closed his eyes and took a deep calming breath, regaining his composure. His hold on her relaxed, as he opened his eyes and said evenly. "Yeah, you're right. Okay, I'm good now... everything's fine."
Juvia knitted her slender eyebrows together, worried about her ice mage.
...
Late that night, the four mages went to the guild in attempts to drink their worries away. The guild hall was dark and empty as Gray leaned against a wooden pillar in the hallway, while taking a large swig from his bottle of rum. Juvia, Natsu and Lucy were busy getting more alcohol from the supply closet.
Lowering the bottle, Gray groaned aggravated and ran his hand through his messy black hair. 'This fucking sucks! I'm gonna be stuck in that apartment, alone with that damn possessed doll! Ugh, they're gonna find my soulless body rotting on the floor, in that stupid fucking dress! Man, that's not how I wanted to go out!' He thought angrily, then shivered at the unpleasant demise he was concocting.
"Gray-sama, we're back!" The familiar voice got Gray's attention and he turned to see Juvia, Lucy and Natsu walking towards him with full bottles of alcohol cradled in their arms.
"Hey guys, let's go to the game room. Maybe it'll help us take our minds off things." Lucy suggested and the others collectively agreed, before they started to head over there.
Walking into the game room, Gray quickly found a chair and flopped down, lifting the bottle to his lips and downing several shots at once. Natsu opened his bottle and took a massive swig, exhaling in content as his cheeks flushed from the immediate buzz. Juvia grabbed her bottle of sake and went over to sit next to Gray. Lucy took the bottle Natsu offered her and gulped down a shot, before cringing at the burn the liquor left behind.
Juvia sighed as she lowered the bottle of sake from her lips. "Juvia thinks we should play a game!"
Natsu grabbed his bottle and went to the middle of the game room while commenting. "Yeah, why not?" Lucy got her own beverage and headed over to join them. Natsu then hopped up onto the edge of the pool table and chugged a big swig of his liquor.
Gray immediately grinned while spiking his dark eyebrow. "You sure you want to be sitting there, Natsu?"
The dragon slayer blinked at him and looked at the table he rested on. After a second he widened his eyes and screeched, "Ah nasty!" He then flung himself off the table and Gray chuckled darkly.
Juvia bit her bottom lip and blushed at the stimulating memory.
Natsu shuddered with disgust and downed his alcohol as Lucy shook her head.
"So uh..anybody have an idea what game we should play?" The celestial wizard asked in hopes of changing the subject.
"Juvia found some playing cards!" The bluenette announced while holding up a deck of cards.
Lucy clapped her hands together with a smile. "Great! We can use this table in the corner here to play."
Natsu let out a small huff before saying. "Fine whatever. It's not like there's anything else we can play around here." He directed the last comment towards Gray, who paid it no mind and simply took another shot.
The four mages went over, took their seats at the round table and began to play poker. After two games, the conversation somehow, came back to Cana.
"You guys, I'm sorry that Loki thing fell through. And I'm sorry we couldn't get anything from that recording." Lucy said with a slight slur.
Juvia looked sternly at the blonde and made a quick slashing motion across her neck, signaling her to stop talking.
Lucy furrowed her brows in confusion, when Gray suddenly dropped his head onto the table with a loud thud and groaned miserably.
Juvia gasped horrified. "Gray-sama!"
"That damn doll!" Gray said hopelessly, his voice somewhat muffled due to his face being pressed against the wooden table.
Juvia got a sympathetic expression on her features as she put a hand on the ice mage's shoulder. "Gray-sama.."
Natsu slammed down his liquor bottle after taking another shot and stated angrily. "Man, this whole thing blows! I mean, we've taken down entire dark guilds and massive demons, but we can't get one stupid thing to black mail Cana with?! Rrgh! Makes me Crazy angry!" He yelled with fire blazing in the back of his throat, just waiting to burst out.
Lucy widened her eyes as she reached out to the fired up dragon slayer. "Natsu calm down! I'm upset too, but getting all worked up like this isn't going to solve anything."
"Juvia really thought things would work out. But it seems, that Cana was always one step ahead of us. And now.. Cana is going to use Juvia like her own personal water supply!" The water mage exclaimed despondently.
Gray rolled his head to the side so he could look at the forlorn bluenette and he narrowed his eyes. He couldn't stand seeing Juvia upset, nor did he care for the idea of her being taken advantage of.
Sighing heavily, Gray lifted his head and took another swig of his alcohol. "You know Juvia, maybe we should just come clean and tell everyone about us. Even though I really wanted to get Cana back for putting us through all this.. being her slave is just not worth it. And besides.. the truth had to come out sooner or later."
A gentle blush tinted Juvia's cheeks as she gazed at him. "Juvia agrees with Gray-sama. She also wanted to give Cana a taste of her own medicine.. but Juvia supposes it's important to know when you've been beaten..."
"We really did try you guys, things just didn't work out. So I guess that's it, Cana got the best of us..." Lucy trailed off, her tone sullen.
With that, all four mages sighed in unison. A brief silence fell over the group as they wallowed in their troubles. Suddenly, the sound of something metal being slowly dragged, sent all of them on alert.
Gray instantly bolted up to his feet. "What the hell was that?!"
Natsu stood up and said in an eerie voice. "It's the ghost, and it's come for you, Gray!"
The ice mage glared murderously at Salamander as he growled out. "Shut the fuck up!"
Natsu chuckled quietly while Lucy and Juvia rose to their feet. Another sharp scraping sound was heard, further peaking their interest.
"I-Is someone here? I thought we were alone." Lucy asked in a shaky voice.
Gray narrowed his eyes determinedly and turned to head out the door, "Well there's only one way to find out!"
Natsu balled a fist and yelled. "Oh yeah, I'm all fired up now!"
And with that, they hurried out of the game room and went to investigate. After winding through the hallways, they were brought to the main guild hall. But none of them were prepared for what they were about to witness, as they discovered the source of the noises. Each one of them immediately froze in place, their jaws dropping open and their eyes widening drastically as they were stunned silent.
There, by some tables, three figures moved about in a very peculiar manner. First, they noticed the one and only Cana, completely naked and bent over a stool with her stomach resting on the cushion. In front of her, was Vijeeter striking an odd dance pose, with his lower region disappearing into Cana's mouth. And behind her, was Reedus, with his lower body stationed at her bottom. In the background, stood a half finished painting of Cana draped in nothing but a white sheet and a seductive look on her face.
Gray, Juvia, Natsu and Lucy couldn't believe what they were seeing as they stood motionless in shock. Gray remained frozen in place, except for his hand that reached into his pocket, pulled out his camera and snapped a picture, before swiftly putting it back.
It was Natsu who broke their silence, as his eyes drifted down to the stool she laid on and saw an engraving on the metal rod. "Holy shit, that's Gajeel's bar stool!"
The entanglement of writhing bodies stilled as they finally noticed the four wizards staring at them. Cana's face turned bright red in embarrassment, while Vijeeter smiled wide as he gave Gray an enthusiastic thumbs up. The ice mage merely cringed in disgust.
Natsu suddenly burst out laughing while he pointed at Cana. "Ha ha! Oh man, we so got you Cana!"
The brunette glared daggers at them.
"Get the fuck out of here! Now!" She bellowed furiously, her face still as red as a cherry.
"Ha ha ha! We got you and there ain't nothing you can do about it!" Salamander stated while he laughed hysterically and clutched his sides.
Lucy grabbed his scarf and started to pull him out of there, as he continued to guffaw with delight. With Natsu in tow, the mages swiftly exited the guild hall.
Once they were outside, Natsu had calmed down and was wiping away a tear of happiness.
"Oh my god! That was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen!" Lucy said repulsed.
"Juvia actually thought it was kind of kinky!" The bluenette stated with a small blush on her cheeks, making the rest of them gaze at her incredulously.
Gray raised his brow while softly shaking his head. "You are such a lil' freak!" He said quietly with an underlying endearment in his voice.
"You guys, this is awesome! We got her with the same exact thing she was pinning on us, only it's twice the embarrassment on her part!" Natsu stated, all fired up.
Gray smiled mischievously as he added. "It get's better."
The other mages looked at him curiously, before he reached into his pocket and pulled out his camera. "Cause I got a picture of it."
Natsu, Lucy and Juvia all cheered in triumph and in their excitement, the four of them lifted their arms up and high-five'd each other. For the reign of the tyrant Cana, was finally over!
...
So I know, pretty scandalous, right? I hope no one is offended by the dirty direction that I took with Cana:/ I don't have anything
against her character at all. It's just... that's where the story took me. I was going for something with the most shock value here, so yeah. Take care! :D
