Juvia and I entered a small quaint little restruant not too far from the guild. "I love this place." Juvia spoke up. But it was obvious that she fantasized about Gray and her and THIS restraunt.
I shook off the thought of Gray, "I'm glad. For obvious reasons this is my first time here."
"You'll love it!" Juvia's excitement was a sight. It made me forget that Gray proclaimed his love to me and not this ball of happiness.
Our night was well spent. Juvia and I bonded as I told her embarrassing stories about the past. Of course she wanted to hear all about Gray and I amused her only to see his reaction of pure horror. We were walking back to the guild when a canary perched itself on the railing we were walking past.
"That's odd. Such a beautiful bird." Juvia spoke up. Although I had hoped that she would mention the magnificent yellow beauty so close to us.
"I had one when I was a child." It was our sign. Just us. I held out my finger and the canary slowly perched itself on my finger. I lifted up my hand and let the beautiful creature fly away.
With that Juvia and I continued back to the guild. "It was nice hanging out with you." I said before we parted ways. Juvia cocked her head and smiled and joyfully waved goodbye. I waved back and entered my room.
When I entered my room and shut my door the first thing I saw was Gray. He was sitting on MY bed. What was he doing in my room? I was infuriated.
"Can you explain that?" Gray growled, just as mad as I was. Then I saw what he was referring to. My symbol of belonging to the Magic Council. I froze. He knew. I scrambled to explain, but I knew how to tell him already.
"I, Kira James, am a highly respected member of the Magic Council. I was sent here to inspect Fairy Tail and send a fully detailed report. I failed in my mission. Doranbolt is here to either inflict punishment, take me back, or relieve me of my duties." My voice was steady. My emotions didn't waver. That was the truth.
