Also, from now in the story, Lucy talks without any emotion and shows no emotion, like Virgo or Rouge.)
As Lucy was quickly walking away from the guild with her hair casting a shadow over her face and her fists clenched tightly, Juvia was running really fast to catch up to her. By now, dark gray clouds have covered Magnolia.
"Lucy! Lucy, hold on!" Juvia said after she finally caught up to Lucy. Juvia quickly grabbed Lucy's shoulder which made Lucy stop walking Juvia was now breathing heavily.
"Lucy...*huff*...Are you ok?" Juvia asked in a worried tone as she was catching her breath.
Lucy just slowly turned around and Juvia was surprised to see Lucy's expression. Lucy's eyes were completely cold and she no longer had the smile she usually wore at the guild. She looked completely emotionless.
"Juvia, I suggest you go back to the guild." Lucy said emotionlessly.
"What!? Why?!" asked Juvia.
"Because...when I leave...I'm not coming back." Lucy answered.
"You're leaving the guild!?" said Juvia.
"I'm sorry Juvia, but I want to be with a guild that actually thinks I'm strong. Or that'll at least give me a chance to prove my self." Lucy said.
Juvia was about to say something, but she stopped her self. As Juvia began to look at the ground, she began to clench her fists and grit her teeth. Tears were in her eyes when she snapped her head back up to face Lucy.
"Then I'll leave to!" Juvia shouted with determination in her eyes. Lucy didn't act to surprised, but her eyes did widen slightly.
"But Juvia, I thought you-" Lucy began.
"Anyone who hurts my friends are no friend of mine. And besides, just like you, I have been ignored to." said Juvia sadly.
Almost at that exact moment, thunder rang through out the sky and it started pouring. Silence fell between the two of them for a moment. Lucy then took a step towards Juvia and wrapped her arms around Juvia's neck, which kind of surprised Juvia, but she then wrapped her arms around Lucy's neck as well. Both of their heads were over the other's shoulder.
"Thank you Juvia. You're the only person I can count on." Lucy said plainly.
"I feel the same way." Juvia said on the brink of crying. They both then separated from their hug.
"Does this mean we need to go and get our guild marks removed?" asked Juvia.
"No. Earlier, Mira told me how I can just use my magic." said Lucy. Suddenly, her left hand started to glow. When she placed it over her right and removed it, her mark was gone. Juvia was amazed at how simple it was. All Lucy had to do was look at Juvia and she knew that meant 'show me your mark'. Juvia moved the part of her clothes that covered her mark. Lucy put her hand on the mark and it immediately vanished.
"There. We're no longer apart of Fairy Tail." said Lucy.
"Right. So, don't you think we should get out of this rain?" said Juvia.
"Sure. There's a magic shop I went to visit before we leave Magnolia anyway." said Lucy.
"Do they have more keys there?" Juvia asked.
"It's only one key. The key of a water dragon, known as Suirō.(Japanese name for "water dragon".)said Lucy as she turned on her heel. As she began to walk, Juvia followed. They didn't mind the rain so much, so they decided to walk all the way.
"So, does that mean you want to become a dragon slayer?" said Juvia.
"Yes." Lucy answered.
"...And, you said leave Magnolia earlier, right? Where are we going to go?' Juvia asked.
"That you'll find out soon enough." Lucy said over her shoulder. Soon enough, they reached the magic shop. When they entered the store, they were greeted by the store owner.
"Welcome to my store little ladies." the store owner said.
"Juvia, you can go to the wash room and dry off while I get the key." said Lucy.
"Ok." Juvia said as she left Lucy's side.
Lucy searched the shelf where she saw the key at. She quickly spotted the dark blue key in box. When she went over to get the key off the shelf, she noticed a book that was giving off different colors, pitch black and a goldish white. She was both curious and surprised, but she didn't show it. She tried to take the book off the shelf, but it suddenly created a bright light that made Lucy close her eyes. When she opened her eyes, the book was gone.
"...Weird." was all Lucy said.
She acted like nothing happened and took the key that she wanted and went to the owner. Her mind was still on what happened to the book, but she ignored it. But, what she didn't was that that book was meant for her personally. She was meant to find that book, because it belonged to her mother and has a powerful secret within which she will soon learn of.
"I'd like to buy this key please." Lucy said.
"Oh, the key of Suirō. That is very special. Ok, that'll be 10,000 jewel." the owner said.
"Whatever." Lucy said as she reached into her bag and took out the money. At that moment, Juvia came out all dry.
"I'm all done." said Juvia.
"Good." Lucy said. Lucy took the bag off her back and placed on the ground as she looked through it. When she found what she was looking for, she held onto something and tossed something that looked similar to Juvia.
"Put it on, then we'll be heading out." Lucy said as she put on her own. Juvia saw that it was a long hooded cloak that was completely black. When they both got theirs on, they put on the hood.
"Thanks old man." Lucy said as she took the key. They both began to leave the store.
"Come again!" said the owner. It was still pouring outside, but they made their way to the train station.
"Um, Lucy, now that you have your new key, can you please tell me where we're heading?" asked Juvia. Lucy waited a few seconds before answering.
"The Saber tooth guild." Lucy said.
